just hours after his opposite number in turkey said he would not back down until victory has been achieved, no matter what anyone says. on the ground, fighting has intensified, and allegiances have changed. syrian troops have now gathered in the north of the country, when kurdish forces turned to them for help after being abandoned by the us. the deal was brokered by russia. the kurds hope president assad's army will deploy along the entire length of the turkish border. turkey has already made gains in two key border towns, seen here in the middle of the map. dozens of civilians and fighters have been killed on both sides. rebel forces retain a hold over other areas, such as idlib. meanwhile, the islamic groups still have a presence in the areas in the east shown on the map in green, showing just how complex the situation is, with many moving

parts. but the comments from the white house tonight are the latest twist in this complicated story. president donald trump has announced new sanctions on turkey, including new sanctions on turkey, including new tariffs on steel exports. last week he tweeted that, if turkey did anything he regarded as off—limits, he would destroy its economy. the sanctions are aimed at those he says are involved in serious human rights abuses, indiscriminately targeting civilians. he then went on to repeat his threats to destroy the turkish economy if their leaders continue down this dangerous and destructive path. in a moment we will speak to oui’ path. in a moment we will speak to our north america correspondent on these latest elements from the us. our first these latest elements from the us. ourfirst report comes these latest elements from the us. our first report comes from the turkey — syria border and our correspondence. “— turkey — syria border and our correspondence. —— corresponded. ——

correspondent. rolling in to a heroes‘ welcome — troops of the assad regime, handed a victory without firing a shot, arriving today in this strategic town. look who is back. the kurds say they had to do a deal with the regime after washington left them alone to face a turkish invasion. the choice, they say, was compromise or genocide. further along a key highway, another town also back in the hands of president assad. loyalists resurfacing. "i've kept this picture hidden for years, waiting for this day," he says. but, for other syrians, this about—turn is a painful blow. we met abu saddam and his family on the turkish side of the border.

he planned to go home once kurdish nation had gone. not anymore. translation: i was shocked when they told me that the regime is now in control. we were happy when the turkish army went in. we were hoping to go back and live happily in our village. no one can go back with the regime there. his young relative mohammed wants to study medicine in the uk. he can't see a future in his homeland. i think this idea is impossible, because i think the syrian war is endless. does that make you feel sad? i'm feeling sad for my country, for my people. but what i can do for them? and this is the latest phase in the endless war, turkey continuing to pound northern syria. here, a drone strike. allegedly targeting a kurdish ammunition supply. "we work with the precision of a jeweller," president erdogan claimed today.

but the civilian death toll is growing. well, just across the border here in the syrian town of tal abyad, rebels backed by turkey have just raised their flags. in less than a week here, president erdogan has created a dangerous new reality. north—eastern syria is now a battleground, and the balance of power is shifting. american troops are pulling out. syrian troops are moving in. the turkish leader is unrepentant. and what of islamic state prisoners being held by the kurds? turkey claims it found an empty prison in tal abyad. it is accusing the kurdish of is detainees free to create chaos. but turkey has opened the door to a dangerous escalation here, and there are fears that the situation could move rapidly out of control. orla guerin, bbc news.

well, us vice president mike pence is speaking now at the white house on the lawn. he said president trump has spoken to the kurdish general today and also we have been hearing the us defence secretary has said that turkey's incursion into syria has resulted in the release of ca ptu red has resulted in the release of captured islamic state fighters. let's speak to our north america correspondent david willis in los angeles. david, we have had quite a lot from president trump in the last few hours. bring us up—to—date on what he has been saying. yes, these very strongly worded statements basically saying that there will be sanctions imposed on turkish individuals and organisations, not specifying it stage which ones. he plans to increase to 50% the tariffs on imports of turkish steel, and he is ceasing negotiations over a $100

billion trade deal with turkey. the president in his statement calling tu rkey‘s president in his statement calling turkey's actions in north—eastern syria destabilising, and also accusing turkey of precipitating a humanitarian crisis and setting conditions for possible war crimes, as he puts it, the president reiterating the notion that he is prepared to, in his words, destroy tu rkey‘s prepared to, in his words, destroy turkey's economy if it continues down this difficult and dangerous path. this statement clearly an attempt to assuage critics, among them many on his own side, his own party, about the white house's decision to withdraw troops from north—eastern syria. the white house, for its part, though, continues to claim this is all part ofan continues to claim this is all part of an attempt to bring us forces home, even though those that are being withdrawn will simply be moved, redeployed to neighbouring iraq. thank you, david.

we will find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages 11:30pm this evening. our guests are lucy fisher and polly mackenzie. the queen has outlined the government's agenda ahead of the state opening of parliament, but this speech was delivered in the midst of a constitutional and political crisis precipitated by brexit. there were immediate questions about the feasibility of boris johnson's programme, which included planned measures on crime, health and delivering brexit on 31 october. opposition parties say that, with an election in the offing, the queen speech was a sham, asa offing, the queen speech was a sham, as a political editor reports. —— oui’ as a political editor reports. —— our political editor reports.

plenty of pomp, but very bizarre circumstances. the band playing for the monarch‘s arrival. the queen and the crown here to announce the government's plans. but they're a wish list, at the very best, going through the traditional motions for a programme that might never happen. black rod! if this first promise is never kept. my government's priority has always been to secure the united kingdom's departure from the european union on 31 october. that's a huge if, and the doubts over brexit dwarf the government's other ambitions. new laws will be taken forward to help implement the national health service's long—term plan in england. whether that is more funding for the health service, a points system for immigration, or longer criminal sentences. my government is committed to addressing violent crime,

and to strengthening public confidence in the criminal justice system. new sentencing laws will see that the most serious offenders spend longer in custody, to reflect better the severity of their crimes. this unlikely pair aren't inclined to agree on any of that. whatever small talk boris johnson was trying and failing to make, jeremy corbyn‘s answer was unlikely to be, "sure, no problem." this government has no majority, and the prime minister wants a better outcome than his predecessor. but, just like theresa may, boris johnson wants an early election. the legislative programme, mr speaker, is a propaganda exercise that the government cannot disguise. this government has failed on brexit for over three years. they're barely beginning to undo the damage of a decade of cuts to our public services. the prime minister promised that this queen's speech

would dazzle us. on closer inspection, mr speaker, it is nothing more than fool's gold. prime minister. as we prepare to get brexit done by 31 october, we are setting out now our vision of an open, global, free—trading united kingdom, a high—wage, low—tax economy. the best place to invest. the best place to start a business. the best place to start a family and send your kids to school. and, without being chauvinistic or disrespectful to anywhere else in the world, in important respects, this country is the greatest place to live and to be. cheered at the end by his own side, this prime minister's fate right now rest elsewhere.

in the hands of diplomats and his own negotiators in brussels, waiting, waiting and waiting. after the eu said no, no and no again to the prime minister's proposals, there is now at least an irish maybe to a deal. a deal is possible, and it's possible this month. it may even be possible this week. but we're not there yet. whether or not there is a deal matters more than anything said parliament today. it is just about possible to see how it could happen this week, but there is a lot of secrecy about exactly how. one cabinet minister said we are still in the middle of the forest, and even if there is an agreement, it would still have to get through the commons. there is no form of brexit that would be good for our country, and the liberal democrats will continue to fight to stop brexit. deal or no deal, the prime minister is driving scotland and the uk into economic catastrophe, risking jobs, livelihoods, and delivering a race to the bottom on fundamental rights.

i do think that the sooner we are able to implement the result of that referendum, the better. but a wish for sooner rather than laterjust doesn't mean much yet. in modern political life, even traditions take on a different style. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. as we have heard, among the policies outlined in the queen speech earlier, priority was given to taking the uk out of the eu by 31 october. there was also a new immigration bill which would and free movement and introduce a new points based system. the sentencing bill called for longer sentences for serious offenders and foreign criminals. and the environment will would set legally binding targets to reduce the impact of climate change, including improving water quality and cutting air pollution. but, as oui’ and cutting air pollution. but, as our correspondent explained, there isa our correspondent explained, there is a good chance none of this will become law. this is a wish list, not a workable list, because this is a government

that doesn't have a majority to call its own. and therefore, unless and until that changes, this is a list, a programme for government, that borisjohnson would like to enact if he had the numbers, but he doesn't. so unless he manages to tip into the general election campaign that he so desires, and wins a majority, which is of course a heroic effort for the conservative party, as things stand, this is a taste of what the tories would like to do in a different climate, but absolutely not a series of cast—iron commitments. and what happens in terms of getting a brexit deal or not is the biggest determinant of that. england's footballers have beaten bulgaria 6—0 in their latest qualify for the european championships. the game was completely overshadowed by racist chanting which led to two stoppages. at one point it seemed likely the game would be called off, but those responsible appeared to leave the ground at halftime. the incident will raise further questions over how the football authorities have responded to such incidents. joe wilson reports.

stadium partially closed, another city centre filled with england fans and the police on duty. ringworm's manager, gareth southgate was myjob was to prepare his players for anything. for england's manager, well, gareth southgate's job was to prepare his players for anything. inside the stadium. england took control of the football almost instantly, marcus rashford's goal the first. but the other dimension of the game was soon unfolding. racism. commentator: the referee has clearly brought things to a halt here. we've had fears of incidences of racist abuse. england's captain talking urgently to match officials, and we then heard in the statium the first protocol. an announcement warning that the referee might suspend the match because of racism. the goals continued,

so did the complaints, with gareth southgate in intense discussions. the match did continue, but a group of home supporters left. england scored the fourth goal before half—time. the message from their football could not be louder. bulgaria's manager had assured us there was no racism in the country's football. the game featured nazi salutes from the stands. on the pitch, england's fifth goal came from raheem sterling, they had come to win, to rediscover their football belief and they did that. they also displayed the confidence to report racism. and that has forced the issue to the point where it cannot be hidden or ignored again. one england supporter has just told me that he heard monkey noises from bulgarian fans from the first minute of this game. england have experienced this kind of thing before, so what has changed? clearly now they have the confidence and determination to report racism, and there was a response. the second piece of the protocol should, could, have involved again being suspended. it could well be argued that england's emphatic victory

was the best possible response. gareth southgate, england's manager, has admitted that england has its own issues with racism in football to be addressed, but that this cannot stand. the response from uefa is of utmost importance. that evening, a few thousand seats closed off made no difference. joel wilson, many thanks. this is bbc news. the headlines at 11pm: president trump says he will redeploy troops in syria after their withdrawal sparked rising tensions on the border with turkey. in the queen's speech at the state opening of parliament, bills are proposed on crime, health and the environment. the priority is securing brexit by the end of the month. england's euro qualifier was stopped twice tonight after racist abuse from the crowd during their 6—0 win against bulgaria.

inside barcelona airport today... ..anger directed at spain and symbols of its authority. but in the airport for court, clashes. the spark — the sentences handed out by the supreme court. up to 13 years in jail for sedition for the leaders who staged the referendum and failed independence bid here two years ago. it has left many catalans incensed. this is supposed to be a democracy. this should not be legal. we just voted — we did nothing wrong, but vote. well, tempers are beginning to flare again here. it has been raining all afternoon, which has soaked the protesters and the police, and everyone else. but still, they refused to leave, and they have caused enormous disruption here. dozens and dozens of flights cancelled or delayed. with access blocked, protesters and passengers had
