non-plussed tariffs of another two hundred billion dollars worth of imports beijing says it will retaliate with tariffs of its own. and it is the biggest night in television the seventieth emmy awards honoring the best shows and top talent there were awards for streaming hits to on a star studded night in los angeles. i'm brian thomas a very warm welcome to the show the leaders of russia and turkey have agreed to establish a deal that tries own in serious problems since the last major stronghold of anti-government rebels in syria the plan is for the zone to extend from the turkish border south into rebel held territory and with more than three million civilians
9:02 am
in possibly more the u.n. has warned an assault there could spark this century's worst humanitarian catastrophe. the promise from ridge of tayyip erdogan and let him have putin it live will be a safe haven they'll be no bitter battle for control of the last rebel held province in syria. hootin an heir to one of agreed to set up a demilitarized zone by mid october they say russian and turkish troops will patrol a buffer strip between syrian government forces and rebels. but. we both agree that implementation of the plan steps will give new momentum to the process of resolving the syrian conflict politically allowing work to intensify an international solution and it will contribute to peace returning to syrian soil. russia and turkey both have direct strategic interests in syria moscow has strongly
9:03 am
backed syria's president bashar assad's regime with troops on the ground. but turkey too has intervened in the syrian conflict carving out a zone of influence near its border. in recent days turkey has increased its military presence in the region the risk of a confrontation between russia and a nato ally over it live grew as fighting increased. a lower have you. sensed the beginning of the month dozens of people have been killed and wounded in air raids and attacks by the syrian government and the russian air force reports from adlib have been growing increasingly dire with more and more people fleeing to turkey. there's always the sound of war planes and there are attacks on many areas. people can't sleep because of the air raids all day and night
9:04 am
before that. but now two of syria's major players have pledged an end to the killing in. now they have to ensure the deal is honored . so just how likely is that didn't you correspondent yulia hong as for us right now that's right on the turkish border with province a yulia is this the agreement people right across the border from where you are and have been hoping for well fears have been running high all of a devastating massive military assault on the ellipse a residence over there have been bracing for the worst now this agreement between the turkish and the russian president effectively delays such an offensive it's not entirely clear whether it prevents it though but for the three to four million civilians trapped inside it with nowhere else to go they said leads to offers
9:05 am
a glimmer of hope but this doesn't mean that the battle over syria is lost rebel held stronghold is over it still remains to be seen how this demilitarized zone will be implemented and most importantly for how long it will last ok as you just mentioned details are thin right now but but what do we know about this a safe zone and how's it going to look how is it going to work on the ground. well until now that's what aid workers here on the turkish side tell us there is no clear front line between civilians separating civilians from rebel forces so this agreement seems to do exactly this this buffer zone we are here at the international border crossing between turkey and syria is it live province so what we learned is that this buffer zone will start right at the border and then extend fifteen to twenty kilometers into territory it's a safe zone for civilians to seek shelter but it will be demilitarized which means the heavy military equipment will have to be withdrawn and according to president
9:06 am
putin what he calls radical militants will have to leave this so on but many open questions remain really we're talking about thousands of heavily armed jihadist fighters will they comply where will they go to and most importantly what will the assad government say about this agreement because from what we understand this agreement was reached yesterday between turkey and russia without the involvement of bashar al assad ok now this is a very big turkey and president. well he said yesterday that he believes with this agreement major a huge humanitarian disaster was present prevented for him yes this is a diplomatic success he is the man who convinced president putin of another solution of a compromise but this is not an entirely selfless move here by turkey's president he has geopolitical interests in syria he seeks to establish
9:07 am
a longer term presence and that's why he wanted such a buffer zone for it live from the very beginning he wants to make sure that he is one of the men at the table when there will be negotiations about syria's political future. right across. the border thanks very much. the south korean president again has arrived in north korea for his third and possibly most challenging summit with its leader kim jong un but can he restart nuclear talks promising discussions on denuclearization with the united states earlier this year have since stalled traveling with moon some two hundred top executives i lighting a push to expand cross border business deals at the moment all major joint projects between the two koreas are on hold because of u.s. led sanctions. ok for more on the summit let's bring in our correspondent in seoul fabienne crèche mar fabienne the press is covering this summit from seoul not from
9:08 am
pyongyang how much access are you getting. well we basically get reports there are some south korean journalists t.v. journalists in pyongyang covering the summit and also some. north korean journalists and actually the access phone off instead that's why you get a lot of t.v. footage that don't look very staged for example one image that i would like to point out this is when arriving at the alamo and conjunctions little sister was waiting for him you see her in the waiting lounge and nervously looking at her smartphone and will be very tense and obviously that hasn't been staged i mean she she didn't know that she was going to be ok and the agenda in pyongyang is not limited to north korea's nuclear weapons program what's at stake act. i mean different interests from the south korean side i think the first issue it's
9:09 am
not necessarily that you cruise ation but rather improving the into the entire name . and being the korean for i mean signing a few streets for that technically you also need the chinese side and the u.s. because they were the ones signing the armistice and nineteen fifty three but also in this delegation he brings a lot of business for years for example some songs a defacto leader e.j. on and i think that's a sign to say not if you cooperate if you go on and do you know. writers and you have the right ahead and you can cooperate and we can help you out also economically but right now with the situation of course the sanctions are going on and there's not much what they can to ok very much in the background after some of the united states wants the north's final and verified denuclearization just how far away is that at the moment. it's definitely years away i mean many critics
9:10 am
doubt that this will ever going to happen because. ok a program is basically a life insurance or not the first step will even be if you have a nuclear arsenal then they can talk about it and then in the end dismantling it experts say this will take. many years maybe it's not possible with. legislation on a truck driving course for thanks very much for bring us up to date on the summit there was. no now for some of the other stories making the news at this hour in the philippines hundreds of rescuers are searching for victims of a landslide caused by typhoon monk that dozens are feared dead in the northern town of it a gong in the country's worst affected region many had sought refuge in a gold miners bunkhouse country's death toll from the typhoon has climbed more than seventy the storms also had hong kong and china. argentina's

former president cristina fernandez has been indicted on new corruption charges for allegedly having a network that collected bribes and exchanged for public works contracts more than a dozen others have been arrested in the case for now and as it is currently a senator was president from two thousand and seven to twenty fifteen. it's the united states now where president trump's nominee for the supreme court is facing sexual misconduct allegations trump has dismissed calls to withdraw brett kavanaugh after a woman claimed that cavanaugh tried to rape her at a party when they were both teens kavanaugh and his accuser are now both set to testify before a senate hearing next week. until a few days ago brett kavanaugh with widely seen as a shoo in for the supreme court. but now his appointment could be derailed as a result of accusations dating back to the early one nine hundred eighty s.
9:12 am
when cavanagh and his accuser high school students. a lawyer for christine blasi forward says her client a clinical psychologist reluctantly decided to come forward because of the seriousness of the alleged incident and the light she believed it shed on cavanagh's character. clearly considers this an attempted rape believes that if it were not for the severe intoxication and cavanagh she would have been right and her attorney told n.b.c. that forward a democrat was willing to testify publicly and was not politically motivated what would you say to that i would say no one in their right mind regardless of their motive would want to inject themselves into this process and face the kind of that and violation that she will be subjected to by those who want this nominee to go through cavanagh has released a statement calling the allegation completely false and denying ever having
9:13 am
manifested such behavior he too says he's willing to testify the white house initially seemed to welcome the idea that both accuser and accused should speak publicly. that he should not that he's ignoring the kid testify under oath and she do it on capitol hill that is that the senate judiciary committee may be to decide before she didn't have it and judge cavanagh should also testify as to the thirty six year old allegation but despite the apparent openness many republicans defending the house and senate majority is a likely to be wary of a public hearing ahead of november the six mid-term elections and in the light of the me too movement. and staying in the u.s. los angeles has again hosted the seventieth and these awards blogs are the actors making the most out on the red carpet some of the biggest stars of the show are the company usually the shaking up the t.v. business netflix the streaming service of course and the premium t.v. channel h.b.o.
9:14 am
battling it out for the highest number of gongs. h.b.o.'s game of thrones winning the das drama for a third time was also the most awarded show it was a good night for british acting as well claire four it was the best drama actress for perper trail of queen elizabeth the second crown graduates winning best drama actor for the spying thriller the americans. and with me now in the studio is our culture editor scott rocks for good morning scott as ever the juggernaut geo t.v. game of thrones the big winner in a way this week this year but only two emmys yes only two emmys i mean usually last year game of thrones wasn't didn't qualify because they didn't have any shows that have the aired to qualify for the emmys so took a break last year but the year before it just swept the emmys and so this year it was interesting because i didn't actually tip it to win the top prize i thought maybe handmaid's tale which won last year could make a run for it this year i think people are saying with game of thrones maybe it's
9:15 am
almost i don't know it's maybe it's jumped the dragon you know it's sort of it's sort of on its downward spiral that it's got one season left it will wrap up but i think the emmy here was to award everything that's come before this is sort of one of the big shows it's ever been on television and i think this was the reason to give it the top prize last night ok. it was a top lies prize what about a real standout for you this year well it was interesting i mean the one game films won two emmys a crowd one too but the biggest show in terms of number of emmys one was the marvelous misses of nasal which is an amazon show brand new show a lot of people talking about yeah it's i think really fast and show it's set in the one nine hundred fifty s. in the catskills and it follows a woman this miss mays will who becomes a stand up comedian rachel brosnahan who won best. actress last night stars in it and it's interesting because it really is it is a bit of a throwback it's a sort of in a style to show looking back to the one nine hundred fifty s.
9:16 am
but with a feminist twist because it's all female focused on and it's about women take having. a voice which a lot of people in their use are going to be a great music the whole setting if you're if you're into into period in any any form especially that period of american one nine hundred fifty s. the sort of middle class america really really nice ok what about surprises anything out there that kind of struck you in this for you know i was a bit surprised that there weren't there weren't any real politics of this year's emmys there was a bit on the red carpet some comments made by a few few actors and actresses but on stage itself i mean this is the first emmys post need to it happens at a time when one of the most powerful men in t.v. so leslie moonves the head of c.b.s. forced to resign amid various allegations of sexual harassment there was no mention of that not one mention there was a couple of jokes surrounding it but nothing's directly completely contrast to the oscars which was really in the shadow of me too and made a big point of stating that he didn't have any of that at the emmys this year and no mention of trump either this is the middle of the. trump presidency the country
9:17 am
split from fifty you know you grab something like that as i think maybe maybe that's the whole thing that people are maybe a bit exhausted by by all the politics of it and then just one night of entertainment and you can see from the shows that one game of thrones fantasy of the crown which is looking back to a period of british royalty even a marvelous miss may as well which i really love but again it's a bit of a celtic show looking back to maybe of maybe a better time the shows that are about nowadays like a show like atlanta which i love race relations in america that didn't win anything maybe people are tired of the politics and want to just relax a bit of a brother exactly. thanks very much and we have some sports now tonight to german coaches will face off as the most prestigious club football competition returns the champion's league you're going to clubs liverpool host tomas socials parasolid jermaine in a major group opener. one common denominator spells in charge at burroughs here

celestial voyage the former drummer in a punk band does not want to make the flight alone though he plans to bring along sixty eight artists and other creative types they will be the first lunar travelers since the last u.s. apollo mission in one thousand nine hundred eighty two. musk has called the trip an important step towards enabling access for all who dream of traveling into space. on gerrards here now with more earthly worries about world trade and buy a ticket for that trip u.s. president wants trump escalate it is trade war slapping his biggest house yet on china the new ten percent import duties. effect two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese imports is now brings around half of all goods imported into the us from china under a new tariff regime meanwhile china america's third largest export market is
9:21 am
swiftly down to counterattack with plans to slap tires on another sixty billion dollars in the u.s. exports so why should we worry about tariffs they could certainly contribute to a perfect storm scenario for the world economy nobel prize winner robert shiller and former u.s. fed chief ben bernanke recently predicted that a new financial crisis might be on the horizon this sentiment is shared by york he's command. economist and joins us now from frankfurt your just last week you predicted another big financial crisis not in the distant future but right around the corner within the next five years for that ongoing trade dispute that we're currently seeing be a trigger. i'm not so sure because you as protectionism does not primarily target the european union or all of the nuff you know that even made an agreement with mexico recently about the u.s.
9:22 am
protectionism targets primarily china i have the impression you may only as you may say only china because the us office li they want to dampen the economic political and military rise of china and with terrorists they have a very powerful tool to do so but i don't think that this will be a trigger of a crisis you know because the chinese government more or less control it has control over the savings of the population and they are in a position to retire wrecked these huge savings to the highly indebted state and chinese enterprises and in so far i don't think that this will be a crisis but. dampen. of china's economic rise. what do you see as the most pressing issue then with regards to the next financial crisis. we should not blame everything on the emerging market in the western world we have
9:23 am
a lot of homemade problems think of the monetary policy of the e.c.b. we have growth of two percent in the eurozone we have an inflation rate close to two percent but interest rates are at minus zero point four percent and this creates a kind of four year to attitude among investors and they poured a lot of their money in real estate is specially in germany and this is driving up real estate prices we do not yet have a bubble in germany but with this loose monetary policy to call ten years there is a real interest in a couple of the years we get a bubble in germany and the burst of a bubble could be could could cause a huge crisis. trump is currently isolating america in a way with with this trade war will that provide some protection in a new crisis. i don't i don't think so yes there's a lot of protectionism views of the china this is true but i don't think that the
9:24 am
trade body of especially with the european union will shrink significantly therefore this is not not not a big risk i think a bigger risk stems from the us itself also there we have a huge increase in house prices. your claim of them chief economist of germany's comments upon thank you very much. island is one of the world's big equestrian countries holes as and everything connected with them is a billion euro business on the island boss brags it is about to hit business to eighty percent of birds as thorough breads of irish store a sold in the u.k. varied as horse racing companies and twenty eight thousand employees in the industry fear of the business could be slapped with tariffs. there's always room for a bit of glamour. here at the leopardstown racecourse in dublin the horses are
9:25 am
warming up. and the bookies are doing stellar business horseracing is deeply ingrained in irish culture and the industry is worth a lot of money. with an annual turnover of around one point eight billion euros it's an important economic sector for the country but there are fears that breaks it could slow the industry from a gallop to a canter the worst case scenario is that barriers are put up on horses are not allowed to move freely across the border as they are at the moment they have to be subject to veterinary checks or perhaps there is a tariff or a tax charge for horses to move into the country those twenty five thousand movements of horses every year between britain aren't in france. resources are often transported internationally by plane or ship. traditionally there have been
9:26 am
close links between the horseracing industries in ireland and in the united kingdom . the overwhelming number of horses that you would find running on the race meeting in england are actually are each bred or a from a bloodline so the import and export between art and great britain is absolutely vital to the huge industry that is and are the. worldwide ireland ranks number three for thoroughbred horses. a full sired by this stallion called invincible spirit will set you back one hundred twenty thousand euros readers around the world bring their mayors to ireland for an encounter. it is a huge risk for an irish star brad industry because obviously where detached from mainland europe for a horse for example like invincible spare us a lot of the mayors will use the u.k. as a land bridge so if they have to take a lot longer to get to where they need to go to there becomes
9:27 am
a risk naturally breeders will decide not to travel and will decide to use the stallions at home. every year brit spend two hundred fifty million euros on thoroughbreds from their irish neighbors no wonder then that when it comes to freedom of movement many irish are concerned about their horses as well as themselves. business and here's a reminder of the top stories we're following for you. have agreed to set up a demilitarized zone and serious problems. of censorship by the syrian government would prevent. crises. from. coming out but all the. information on our website that's. all.
