12:06 pm
border so how is the evacuation process of y p g guerrillas taking place. but not as planned according to turkish officials they're not happy with the way that this is planned out we've heard from the foreign minister in the last 24 hours and the defense minister saying the district of land between the land and colombia has not been completely cleared by russian military police as well as syrian government forces were supposed to clear this area of kurdish fighters this is a deal which was reached between the turkish and russian president 30 kilometers deep insights syrian territory was supposed to be cleared of what turkey calls p.k. caves why p.g. fighters what he sees as terrorists now there have been fighting on the outskirts of the eastern town right now and both sides of accused each other of trying to make territorial gain is consequently denied by both sides accusing each other of carrying out these attacks but we've also heard from the turkish president saying
12:07 pm
that he's adamant that his forces are going to take this area of or without the support of his allies in the next few hours we expect that there is going to be joint patrols which will begin 10 kilometers inside to be interrogated in turkish forces as well as russian military police that there is foreign minister saying that his forces are ready and immediately after the cease fire you could see joint patrols beginning but it is a very precarious situation because after the u.s. withdrawal turkey went into this area cleared it and put its forces in charge. then there was an agreement between the u.s. and according to that the us president has said that turkey should abide by keeping a cease fire and not create fighting again and that is something that is going to be interesting to see because the turks are adamant that they will clear their border across from the from the northern edge all the way into iraq of goodish fighters and they want support of their nato allies like they do it. thanks
12:08 pm
for that the u.n. special envoy for syria has urged both sides to maintain the cease fire ahead of a meeting on wednesday and discussing syria's constitution here peterson is hosting government and opposition leaders in geneva later on tuesday he will hold talks with foreign ministers from iran turkey and russia the 2 parties have agreed to expeditiously on continuously. it's impossible to say how long it will take for them to conclude its virk but as long as it is stone you know with serious intentions and we see progress and as you know i will be reporting to the security council an optimistic start to be able to do in the not too distant future that if you ever see tangible progress in the discussions after all this is and this is important to remember as i said already this is actually the 1st time that the 2 parties have an ownership to the process. the emir of kuwait is calling for an end

corbin arrived in the chamber after the vote to respond i understand the bill will be table tomorrow we will obviously look can scrutinize that bell and we look forward to a clear definitive decision that no deal is absolutely off the table and there is no danger of this prime minister not sticking to his word the proposed legislation expected to be tabled on tuesday is a so-called one line bill amending the fixed term parliaments act it would stipulate that an election will take place on a certain date the 12th of december says the prime minister and it requires just a simple majority of one vote to pass rather than the 2 thirds majority needed under the current law which would appear to offer a better chance of success after all the liberal democrats and the scottish national party have earlier announced
12:13 pm
a very similar plan they want an election on the 9th of december we are just focusing on getting a general election we have to do that with a bill to change the fixed term parliament act which could happen this week triggering the election perhaps at the end of this week and then the election day taking place on the 9th of december little difference between the 9th and the 12th of december you might think but the earlier date could tales the government's ability to push through its breaks it deals and allow students to vote before the end of the winter semester a crucial difference possibly then for opposition support. all that is certain now is the brics it will not happen as johnson promised on october the 31st the prime minister has formally accepted the e.u.'s offer of a 3 month extension with the possibility to come out sooner if parliament ratifies a deal this parliament or a new parliament will depend on whether and when boris johnson gets the election he craves jonah al-jazeera london. lots more still ahead on al-jazeera.
