kraut. turkey is president has threatened to open borders to allow refugees to enter europe if the e.u. doesn't support at so-called safe zone in northern syria regicide added laws on current will clear those it considers terrorists if russia doesn't meet its obligations under a deal signed this week as by the agreement signed. wasco and syrian government forces are meant to push kurdish fighters from the border the turkish foreign minister has also met his german counterpart and rejected germany's proposal for an internationally monitored safe zone calling it unrealistic. beginning i've been for my counterpart hike a mess on the operation against the tear a corridor at our borders with in the framework of the agreements with the u.s. and russia apart from bilateral issues we found this a good opportunity to talk about the syrian issue as a whole i also focused on the fact that the u.s. and russia have recognized the developments in the field without peace spring operation there are so many imes of that operation one of them is to return the

syrian refugees we need to clean the syria from the terrorist organizations to secure the integrity and stability of syria and the return of the syrian refugees to these places who defined as i.d.p.'s. let's get more on all of this mel we're joined by our correspondent osama bin job of his life for us and that's near the turkish syrian border to his operations where you seem to have created a rift with us you see you allies wow was that addressed in the meeting between the foreign ministers. well is this is something that we've been expecting that it was more of a build building bridges mending ties between the european union and ended up in the lead up to this meeting seeing statements from various corners which are not which of anger. because turkey's thinks that the european union and its allies in nato are not standing beside it when it needs them the most turkey insists that it

is carrying out an operation against what it calls terrorists a group called the p.k. k. the kurdish workers because down workers' party which it says is carrying has carried out attacks and is a designated terrorist organization by the european union has been we heard from the german foreign minister who says that europe's biggest concern and germany's major concern is about instability territorial integrity is something which keeps popping up because this deal between russia and turkey has not been welcomed by european union so it is it has been a meeting where the both sides have stated their positions that doesn't seem to have made any headway towards finding a solution where the europeans would actually come in to share some of what turkey wants them to do mainly 2 things one bringing peace and stability in the border region and go out and ally themselves in the fight that turkey says it's going after and also share the burden of refugees turkey says $2600000.00 syrians are

inside turkey and turkey wants to repatriate them and again that has to happen while entirely and safely turkey saying that it's peace on 30 kilometers deep inside syrian territory is going to be home for these refugees and turkey is under criticism a solid not just from european allies for this operation but also human rights organizations who. are national being the latest of forcibly planning to forcibly returning syrian refugees to the northeast. well that's being denied by the turkish government and again we saw a repetition of that by the foreign minister who said that these allegations against turkey are completely baseless turkey does not force people to go back home and any apart relation is on voluntary basis and is only enabled once the security situation is clear and on the ground the situation is very fluid and 30 kilometers deep inside syrian territory and outside of that zone there is still sporadic

fighting that is happening between turkey backed syrian rebels as well as kurdish fighters we're also seeing movement of the assad government forces taking towns and villages around this safe zone and also russian military patrols and additional forces deployed from chechnya to syria taking hold so again turkey denying that it has it is not sending anyone forcibly home to syria saying that it is going to only repatriate people once it's established this is all and it's established areas facilities where people can return to and saying that all of these allegations don't hold true because if turkey wanted to send these people home it would have never accepted them in the 1st place asama thank you for that. the latest live near the turkish syrian border thank you. well plenty more ahead of the new solid including new details emerge in the u.k. laurie death be it the means nationals may be among the 39 day. no longer

a man spoiled how yemen civil war is pushing more women into doing jobs traditionally done by men and for the 3rd time in as many games the hunting struggles and baseball fans will see responsible explained in sports. attends day of anti-government protests is underway in lebanon and security forces have been called to dismantle several roadblocks and they would protest as a civil disobedience campaign until the government resigns. accused of failing to stop corruption and solve the economic crisis let's go to our correspondent stephanie decades she is joining us live from the lebanese capital beirut as we look at pictures off those protests and what's happening stephanie you know when security forces when the army comes in to break up these roadblocks.

what it's put it back in the army and internal security forces have been around we're on a sort of a main artery of highway in the capital beirut you can see people on this side also on the other side of this bridge there is another road block so basically this is the way that they're trying to keep the pressure on the government now there's been some skirmishes with the security forces but nothing major at the moment certainly the message seems to be they do not want to use force to clear these protests there probably isn't a real message because 1st we heard that the government in order to clear the road books but you know we saw the army standing around the protesters that at some point they left a massive cheers of the protestors so it is a sort of uncertain situation at the moment what is happening here is putting real pressure on. the government and the country we have seen some drivers frustrated yelling at them saying we also pay taxes we have to go to our jobs are making our lives far more difficult but this is why they want to keep these blocked and so

important out the message from the protesters and even those that are frustrated that like one of the men we heard they all have the same message because what they want is to improve their lives they've got economic issues taxes to hold mold term deterioration that got us here let's take a look at what one protester had to say and her voice really does go the majority of the people on the streets. 7 7 fairleigh has barely slept this week. running on adrenaline. she and her friends are blocking roads in downtown beirut to keep the pressure on the government. i look at. the protests that have erupted all across lebanon have not come from nowhere. this has been building for years but we have seen over the past. protests

people getting really angry about all these state. was very clear. very poorly. on people and people pay taxes thing which. feels like good we started having the problem. so we were running. every day. it's. always a suburban morning. we. were not. overly. bright. the 2015 garbage crisis was another turning point politicians bickered had collected off the streets fueled by their business interests resulting in the country

drownding under piles of garbage it triggered demonstrations then to the same messages coming from everyone out protesting now whether sunni shia jews or christians their leaders have become rich adair and lebanon's expects that unity in a society that is defined by its tearing allegiances is a 1st. when she accuses lebanon's leaders of exploiting sectarianism to keep the people divided. all over. these protests may have been triggered by a proposed tax on using social media apps to make phone calls before that

a large part of the population was already at a boiling point most recently forest fires spread across lebanon the government couldn't control them it's fire aircraft in disrepair it had to seek help from abroad. perilous is just one voice among many governments of come and gone and their failures of piled up to become unbearable but the leaders who govern this country have remained the same for decades and the people want accountability. it's frustrating a lot of people it's challenging that the people here say that they haven't achieved what they wanted there were some reports in the lebanese press that prime minister saad how d.d. had spoken to the president yesterday offering his resignation potentially. one scenario another one a cabinet reshuffle and then he would continue to leave these are all rumors at the moment certainly something needs to give because. the roads are blocked this is

putting a major strain on the country. but the people say they're not going to leave the government is resigning so everyone is kind of looking at what the next step is going to be stephanie thank you for that stephanie decker with the latest live in beirut thank you yemen's internationally recognized government in southern separatists have reached and mission agreement to stop fighting yemen's information minister tweeted that a deal will be signed within 2 days the separatists seize control of the port city of aden an organist southie led negotiations in jeddah have aimed to reunite the coalition fighting hoping rebels in the 2015 coalition member the u.a.e. has been supporting the separatists. now anger of a growing corruption and falling living standards has also groups in yemen protesters gathered in thought as the country's 2nd largest city demanding the government sack all officials involved in alleged embezzlement the value of yemen's currency has fallen by half since the start of the civil war and 2015. to bolivia

now where the u.n. says it supports an audit of the disputed presidential election results and the u.s. and regional leaders have a 2nd round of voting the protests are continuing after the electoral tribunal confirmed the controversial reelection of president even what alice extending his role to nearly 2 decades john holliman reports from the pas. there was no way through the cars in the southern zone of the pies the living capital of friday . groups of neighbors stood on street corners stopping traffic to protest against president ever more alleys and the vote count the claim to the outright winner of last sunday's election. people are coming now that the government can see to and they have a what's happened is the only way that they can show back that's why from young to old we all have to get out on the streets. it's now the 5th day of protests not just here but in points across the country the european union and the organization

of american states have both expressed concern over freezing of the supposedly rapid vote count for almost 24 hours when it was paused it was heading towards a runoff between morale is the nearest challenger carlos messa when it came back online the president was on the brink of outright victory the opposition has called for a 2nd round they say fruit the president rejects that asking where the proof is. his popularity is full and in this election but many still stand behind him as a leader who's almost poverty and presided over a flourishing economy and he's 13 years in charge for them the street blocks are not justified nuisance. i think it's somewhat notice they have to accept that they're lost without president evo morales we've got nothing to complain about his work with whoever wants it and with the government before there wasn't anything i've personally been able to buy my car with a credit line. for this specially in recent years analysts say that the electorate

authorities have become uncomfortably close to the government many feel democracy is slipping. for those who take into the streets this is where they draw the line the lights turn green but there's no cars heading down an avenue that would usually be full of the it's not all of the capital city la paz but especially in the south groups of neighbors have blocked off most of the roads. elsewhere in the country protests also continued a general strike and today its 3rd day in the industrial hub of santa cruz the election results are in but the discontent he continues john homan al-jazeera the powers. now what protests taking place in so many parts of the well the u.n. chief is asking leaders to listen to the problems of their people and says while every situation is unique there are common. it is clear that there is a growing deficit of trust between people and political establishments and rising

strengths to the social contracts and all these also wrestling with the negative impacts of globalization and new technologies which have increased inequalities within societies even where people are not protesting they are hurting and want to be hundreds. and it's time for the weather now and here's edited with news of the trial weather in western india yeah that's right lisa good news really we have seen really heavy rain over the past few days and in fact the summarize have lingered on way past the normal amounts of time we had 209 millimeters of rain in goa in the past 24 hours to set the southwest the monsoon the summer rains they should have receded a fair way south by now to the south of this red line is where we would normally expect those rains to be they're actually just around mumbai pushing up towards the northeastern corner of india so still

a lot further north than they should be but they are in the process of easing as we go through the next couple of days the heavy rain that's because if this tropical cyclons been looking in the arabian sea but it is in the process of pulling away as it does so we will find some dry and brighter weather coming in behind some for sunday much of western india will be largely dry the rains where they should be on the eastern side of the country because the northeast the monsoon the drier rights they've already started to push their way in across that eastern side of india i would also west that we have got that drier weather making its way and as for the tropical side climb was going to run its way up towards i'm on a suspect it's not going to hit a mob but we are going to see some very choppy waters in the arabian sea i would next few days late. thank you very much of a 10 hour still ahead on the news hour how washington is repairing economic crises could impact sunday of election. and find out what happened when people raining n.b.a. champions members of the boston celtics coming out with peter in support. of

2 hours we could sit on juries in the rest of central bankers about the same time we're born these were those 2 cultures north and south america. it's a very important place for all to do it's a big. and there's a problem and the top stories this hour and fear now isn't being held in iran for some of the 42 people who were killed during nationwide protests on friday police have been fined stun grenades at anti-government protests in the capital baghdad demonstrations want the government to resign. turkey's president has threatened to open its borders to allow refugees to end to europe if the e.u.

doesn't support it so-called safe side in northern syria. iran says it will clear kurdish fighters from its border with syria if a deal signed with russia this week fails to hold a russian military police and syrian government forces are meant to clear kurdish fighters from border areas under that deal signed with moscow and a 10 day event take on. protests underway in lebanon. campaign designed. to stop corruption the economic crisis. now to mass protests in china that we mentioned earlier in the program where there is a discontent of rising income inequality now in smaller communities people say they have been left behind for years as reports. at a small fishing village just south of santiago chile. and other fishermen are getting ready to head out to sea. things here appear calm but

a state of emergency remains in effect in the country and it's a subject that's on everyone's mind. what's happening in the country isn't about politics this is a social problem. president has announced reforms to social programs in an effort to calm the crisis but says people have lost confidence in political leaders. the president of the republic is only patched a wound but there is still a wound underneath until that wound is treated and heals the problems are a country are not going away. she is latin america's most developed nation but over the past week protests have highlighted a growing anger among the citizenry. the unrest began over an increase of 30 to the cost of metro transport which amounts to about $0.10 of a dollar. that cost increase was like a spark to a powder keg in a country where many were already complaining about

a worsening wealth gap between the rich and the middle class economists like. say a solution out of the crisis will require a delicate compromise from the country's political elite and the perception is that she is not in a crisis. situation but we are developed enough for everyone to have better living conditions so it's a matter of the street. you should if we can better these tributes there wells and the opportunities that exist in chile everyone is going to be better off. after a week of unrest demonstrations and she they have spread to other parts of the country a recent national poll found that 83 percent of chileans or in favor of the ongoing social mobilizations even in sheila's smallest communities far away from the protests that have paralyzed the country's capital the discontent from citizens is palpable for everyday chileans the crisis isn't about an increase of 30 parasols to the cost of public transportation it's about 30 years of policies that many see as

being bad for the nation. visum unlike say they hope political leaders will act on the demands of demonstrators before their quiet seaside town joins in the protests when read about. but mom's prime minister has ordered an inquiry into allegations of human trafficking after it emerged that its nationals may have been among the 39 people found dead in a container truck in the u.k. on wednesday and early reports said they were all chinese the container arrived in essex on a ferry from belgium police are continuing to question 4 people including a truck driver from northern ireland who was arrested on suspicion of murder now they are has more details from london. but wider investigation is now involving several families in vietnam and regionally the local police in england said they believe that all of the people found dead were chinese nationals they're now saying

that there won't be any further comment on their identities until post-mortem checks have been carried out but many vietnamese families have been contacting social media sites and the vietnamese embassy here in britain saying that they fear that their relatives were in that container after they received for example text messages or social media communication saying that they were inside and feared for their lives so there is now a great fear that many of the dead might have come from vietnam which has in the past seen many people leave and try to seek employment or some kind of way into britain normally going through moscow we understand other countries send their nationals or other nationals have made their way to britain in the past via what's called the balkans route but whatever the case we know that there is

a lot of communication a lot of investigation to be done before all of the dead people's loved ones can be alerted joanna era james is the executive director of freedom united that's an anti-slavery organization and she says this as an 10 isolated case. in my own work at freedom united we are aware of so many cases all around the world of people who are trafficked. and we don't know of course in this case if it is exactly the circumstances but certainly the action of moving across borders happens now those people move because. they are not able to take legal migration routes the question of trafficking is about exploitation and what happens to those people at the end sometimes people may be ticking for ways to cross what has not actually unexpectedly lead them into a situation where they're exploited and the question we really want to ask

ourselves is why is this happening and the reality is that in a world where immigration routes are increasingly closed down it creates a market for an illegal economy the stakes are raised high at tartus come to be made of people a pair to pay higher costs and that means raising the stakes and increasing the risks and these are risks that people are taking because they are pushed into it by a system. now medical workers in hong kong are protesting against what they say as police brutality amounts of anti-government protests have often ended in bloodshed please have fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protest as well medics sometimes question the meadow the pickle pollen has the latest from the protest at the city's financial center. among these crowds are doctors nurses paramedics and other

medical professionals they say they have several concerns one of them is that they're now being asked to disclose to the police which of their patients were involved in the protest movement the other main concern is what they're calling the excessive use of force by the police against protesters radiographer in the hall porter hospital so. we have created a lot of citizen has been arrested by the police after some of these kinds of. protests. and we saw or that a lot of patients being assaulted by the police hongkong protesters have 5 key demands one of them was met earlier this week when the hong kong government formally withdrew a proposed extradition law that law could see hong kong criminal suspects being sent to mainland china to face the judicial system there the other main demands is

an independent inquiry into what's seen as excessive force used by the police but hong kong's chief executive has rejected this saying that one of her concerns is the reaction upon const 30000 strong police force they say they themselves are victims of violence they queues protesters among other things of throwing rocks and petrol bombs at police stations and the police come off the side. but the police us and people of course could of course catch the police have used what you can in tear gas rubber bullets and even lived. rounds against protesters not long ago. highly regarded highly respected they were seen as one of the most professional institutions in the city but over the past 5 months of protests their reputation has deteriorated dramatically. the united nations says months of floods in south sudan have affected nearly

a 1000000 people and entire communities have been submerged since july forcing hundreds of thousands from their homes and where 60 percent of people are already going hungry the crops have been washed away and move rain is forecast for weeks to come. now inflation devaluation and recession a word most times they used to hearing and the latest economic crisis is on the minds of voters ahead of sunday's general election terry is about has more from the capital one aside is. 17 years ago the workers of a printing press took over this building when the owner filed for bankruptcy and failed to pay them any type of compensation. at a metal one silas was one of those workers he says it hurts him to see argentina is in a crisis once again. the situation was already difficult many years ago but these past months everything has deteriorated even more the government increase the prices of

electricity and we have to create festivals to pay the bills we are resisting because we have a history of resistance but it's not easy. inflation recession and the risk of default are affecting all sectors of the economy these days and this place is no exception sources say that around 40 small come. on every day mostly because they cannot cope with a rise in the price of utility services and because of a drop in sales the problem that this. thing for example is an increase in the price of some of the products being used like paper this is what is thinking about rest of. history seems to repeat itself in argentina over and over again. since the 1940 s. argentina has had at least 16 crisis 15 of them happened because the country ran out of dollars you know we have a currency problem people don't save patients and dying patients and

we have an export problem will have enough dollars so every now and then governments doing flayed the economy by borrowing their way to growth and at some point that. this is the goal of the nominate the start. thinking around and greatest of asking for money and out resorting to a crisis whether the meaning of it $1.00 of the only reason is that the says this is one of the reasons why it's been so difficult for marketing to get the economy going and why he ended requesting a loan from the i.m.f. but patients were exaggerated and i think people some people in the government believe that the whole problem of india was populism. and illiquid so they believe that changing the class will solve the problems facing the browser more structure. but until now no government has found the solution to the problem lack

of consensus and predictability have led argentina to the crisis it's struggling with today. in the middle are the millions who are filled with uncertainty about what will happen next he said well i'll just when i say this. more than a 1000 firefighters are battling blazes at opposite ends of the us state of california where strong ones are fanning the flames north of san francisco roads are closed and school shuts near los angeles the state's largest energy company admits a power cable failure could have sparked one of the wildfires electricity supplies could be cut to millions of homes to prevent further outbreaks now u.s. courts as confidential portions of robert muller's report must be released to congress mala concluded a 2 year investigation into alleged russian interference in the 2016 presidential election at large sections of his findings were withheld democrat the democrats are

seeking the full report as part of the impeachment investigation of u.s. president donald trump or from washington christensen or me explains why the court ruling is important for the democrats. democrats are particularly interested in any information in that report that could pertain to a possible obstruction of justice charge against the president and you may recall that the mahler report found that there was russian interference in the 2016 election but insufficient evidence to show that president trampers team were involved in any way he also left open the question of possible obstruction of justice for how president trump handled that investigation his efforts to stifle it remember he fired f.b.i. director james comey that raised a lot of questions in the possibility of charges there but the special counsel said that he could not charge the president because it was justice department policy not to charge a sitting president that's the responsibility of congress congress wanted to go

there now the judge is saying they can indeed go there and have access to all this information that was withheld by attorney general william barr this is a major victory for democrats in addition to getting access to all of that information the judge validated the impeachment inquiry in the 1st place now the president and republicans have painted this inquiry as a sham accused democrats of not following procedures because they haven't held a formal vote to have an impeachment inquiry but the judge said that was incorrect that there was ample case history to allow the agree to go forward now 5 years of war in yemen have seen many men killed in fighting so women have increasingly become the sole bread when it was forced into traditionally male dominated jobs so how about reports. that it's a story we see often during times of war women forced to work long hours including my new job.
