stability in the forms of laws that we have at the moment. this is deja news coming to you live from berlin to have serious power brokers look to settle the country's fate russian president vladimir putin hosts this turkish counterpart for talks on the conflict set to discuss who should hold sway in syria's contested north also coming up risk years begin to search again for

foothold there in libya on his saga he and at least one of the bullets and a missing after the plane carrying them disappeared over the english channel. and taking out the trash in space we look at why there's so much junk orbiting up planets and what on earth to do about it. plus the whole of grams of bringing history to life at the chicago museum at least would seem to be happy to answer any questions you get all. the holocaust survivor up close and post night and bearing witness in the twenty first century. hello and welcome. thanks for your company. two of the major players in the syrian conflict are set to meet for talks that could have broad implications for the

country russian president vladimir putin is meeting his turkish counterpart. on top of the agenda is the future of syria goodish controlled areas goodish militia control much of northern syria which you can see on the map here in yellow after pushing out the so-called islamic state i assess lost almost all of its territory in syria and syria is marked in red on this map that led president trump to say he will be draw the two thousand american troops supporting the kurds now regards the goodish militia as terrorists and he sees their presence along turkey's border as a threat to national security in a telephone conversation with president trump he proposed a so-called turkish controlled safe zone along the border and that's the area that you see shaded on the map that turkey is also seeking control of mom bij that's a city the kurds captured from the two thousand and sixteen and you can see in gray now with the u.s.

poised to withdrawal the kurds are trying to avoid a full on turkish military assault and have turned to russia for diplomatic help. the gods of long dreamt of the stab autonomy's region in northern syria one day but strategically the position of the kurdish forces has become precarious in the wake of washington's planned withdrawal. this was the scene in northeast syria two days ago when a convoy of u.s. and kurdish led troops was bombed in an attack claimed by islamic state. and exactly one week ago in kurdish child man bitch near the turkish border. another apparent i-s. attack that killed four americans. despite the ongoing fighting washington remains committed to withdrawing its troops meaning syria's kurds are about to lose a powerful ally then there's the issue of a safe zone along the border with turkey

a u.s. proposal. but who should create it and who should police it for russia which backs syria's government forces the answer is clear. we are convinced the best and only solution is the transfer of these territories to the control of the syrian government the syrian security forces and the ministers it functions. if you look through. but turkey equally wants control of this buffer zone to protect against what it sees as the kurdish threat. good liberal. proposal for a safe comes with the goal of keeping terrorists and terror organizations away from our borders. ancora insists syrian kurdish fighters are linked to the kurdish rebel group the p.k. k. widely branded

a terrorist organization it doesn't want syrian kurdish militia gaining power on its borders fearing that might encourage the kurdish insurgency inside turkey. this time last year turkey launched its military operation on the former kurdish enclave of a freend in northern syria kurds marked the anniversary with protests they have reason to fear that turkey will strike again that's why kurdish fighters are now reaching out to syrian government troops for protection. so what's in store for northern syria forum that we have is any show been in moscow where the talks take this today and in istanbul. is standing by and the phones to you know the plan to us from syria what change the balance of power in the region how does the kremlin want to fill it. well i'm rita the planned u.s. withdrawal will absolutely have been music to russia's ears if the u.s.

does withdraw its troop troops as they say they will then russia will basically be in control of syria's skies and russia will also be the only non regional power basically negotiating over syria's future and they have actually been saying for a long time that the u.s. is as they see it an occupying force in syria because its presence has not been agreed with the syrian government who they see is rightfully in charge of the country and this really hints that what putin wants for syria's future which is to consolidate the assad regime's hold over syria and also they the russians themselves want to pay it play a big role in the future of the country and in the peace process because they want to gain a foothold in syria and in the middle east including militarily and you know istanbul is the to kish president once

a safe zone in northern city of what exactly does he have in mind. it was similar to what emily has just been saying about over russia i can say that for turkey as well president out on his first of all trying to secure his interests in syria before the us pull out their troops he is one of the major powers then now alongside iran russia and the us and he wants to console the day if not even extend his influence there right now his main objective is to and we heard that already in the report push back the kurdish y p g fighters these fighters are allied with the americans they have helped the americans fight islamic state terrorists but for president add on these kurdish fighters are terrorists too and that he won stem i quote him to be cleared off the map this will be his message in moscow today and he will present his plans for so-called security zone to president putin as well as

zone that according to the turks will extend about thirty kilometers into syria deep into syria it will be free from any why p.g. fighters and under turkish controls out on has been discussing these plans with the washington they are not that detailed right now many details are still unclear but of course he wants to know what president putin things about that and many who took his proposed safe zone fit in with russia's strategic interests. well these safe zones are certainly more of a turkish objective and russia today will be defending the interests of its ally syria assad has come out and said that he is categorically against a safe zone that would be patrolled by turkish forces previously president vladimir putin has suggested that perhaps syrian government forces could control such a safe zone and we heard just now in the report that said gay lover of the foreign

minister the russian foreign minister also came out and said that the only solution would be for these territories to be given back to syrian control he also welcomed the fact that the syrian government had held talks with kurdish representatives so it seems that perhaps a compromise could be on the cards today with syria syrian forces controlling that safe zone and russia will act as an intermediary intermediary excuse me today in these talks and finally and briefly not turkish troops have been massed at the border with syria is assault on the clippers head off the table. not according to the turkish government they keep emphasizing they're ready to launch another military offensive as you said troops have been reinforced equipment is that as well along the border inside syria to and the turks keep emphasizing that they're not willing to compromise on their national security also we have

local elections coming up here in turkey and some say this is president and one trying to appeal to nationalist voters but any military operation in the end is costly so we'll have to see what the negotiations with both washington and moscow will bring. you how that new song and we show when in moscow thank you both very much for your perspectives. let's take a look at some other stories making news around the world a former senior south korean prosecutor has been convicted of abuse of power and jailed for two years until graham was accused of repeatedly groping a female colleague the case that triggered a flood of similar accusations against men in positions of power. tens of thousands of young people are gathering in panama city ahead of the pope's arrival for catholic world youth day to the event the pontiff is expected to highlight how faith relates to issues like poverty immigration and human drives.

a few hundred kilometers above our heads the problem space is increasingly littered with chunk of debris all that in the planet is a menace to spacecraft and can be a hazard when it tumbles back to earth researchers are not looking for ways to clean up the mess. this space debris dangerous for earth. our earth is enveloped in a cloud of manmade debris more than seven hundred thousand pieces of it are orbiting the planet most are only a few centimeters in size but they're also fuel tanks rocket components and decommissioned satellites they travel at phenomenal speeds and just one piece could cause serious damage. that's why space junk is monitored using radar and laser systems they can detect object the smallest ten centimeters in size

and pinpoint where the debris is in its orbit if need be satellites and even the i.r.s. air space station can be steered out of the way. still there have been collisions which released even more space debris into orbit. when russian rockets take off from their baikonur launch pad debris often rains down over siberia and kazakhstan but not just their. large pieces of space junk have been found in regions far away from launch sites. this came from america's sky lab space station increased solar activity destabilized skylab orbit and sent it tumbling to earth around midnight on the night of july the eleventh one thousand nine hundred seventy nine parts of it came down in western australia reportedly killing a cow. in january of one thousand nine hundred seventy seven in tulsa oklahoma

lottie williams was struck in the shoulder but wasn't hurt she's the only human so far to be hit by space junk. research as want to find ways to clean up the earth's orbital junkyard the technology is still in the development phase though until that's done the planets cloak of space waste will just keep on growing and with it the danger. so what do we do with all that junk with me now is the dove these sons and it are on a cycle with the scientists have been holding talks any new ideas about how we clean up space well they've been talking a lot they have many ideas but in terms of practical solutions not so much they are ideas involving lasers or robotic arms and the one that is most promising maybe is the one we saw in the animation just now it in boston apt is much like

a fishing net so we would shoot up a satellite into orbit which would deploy and that catching bigger parts and dragging them to our own into the earth's atmosphere were. in a controlled manner and how much at risk be from space junk well we are at risk because there's about seven hundred fifty thousand objects orbiting space earth right now and they are all larger than one centimeter so one centimeter doesn't seem like much just much like a coffee bean but if this hits you with the average speed of forty thousand kilometers per second it can do some real damage the same damage to the hand grenade would do so it would break satellites would break down obviously it would affect world markets g.p.s. wooden wouldn't work anymore where the four cars wouldn't be possible and even people at home would be effective because they couldn't watch a life broadcast like this one anymore and that of course would not be good for us but you know it sounds attractive is potentially very great at the same time space

is getting crowded india and china are involved in space technology europe has announced a new plans is this all going to go to spin out of control at some point do you think well basically it is already out of control given the amount of space that with space junk there we're talking about but it's not only india and china and europe it's also like private companies like space x. or planets that are planning to shoot up thousands of new satellites up in into orbit in order to do. get faster internet everywhere around the world so it will be a lot more a lot bigger problem in the future even more so all the mall and the importance of finding solutions on a circle from the w.'s sciences thank you very much. for the doing the number of survivors of the holocaust sharing their experiences is an important part of making sure the world never forgets its horrors and its lessons

a museum in chicago has found a new way of doing just that even long after the survivors are gone. whose real here fritz meets her hologram. which was the real me. i felt it was important i felt it was an important story it was difficult because they took me back into the past and it's something that i didn't wish to relive. is the president of the illinois holocaust museum in chicago the museum has long considered how to keep the holocaust memory alive. was thirteen when the nazis deported her and her mother to auschwitz they were crammed into a cattle car like this one she says she has five hundred ninety nine women to thank for her survival. when they gave me their crowns it was the size of a marble but it saved my life and maybe took away from theirs in turn

i made a promise that if i survived i would be the messenger preacha wants to tell their stories to young people in the future even when she's no longer alive. a girl asks how she felt about religion after the war. it's god doing. ok here is. what she gives people thought her. answer was that there were. no. at some point i actually just sort of forgot that she was a hologram it felt so natural in it gets real it was really touching

to i don't know like eve you felt like you were with her like and like you saw how much like you know how much of her what she was going through that producing the holograms was challenging. for five days in a green screen studio in los angeles countless cameras were pointed at her she was asked thousands of questions she never knew what would come next with the help of keywords the holograms are programmed in such a way that they can give spontaneous answers for every question there are several responses. the part that's the most important is the interactivity so that our visitors feel that they are having an intimate conversation with a survivor in real time and they can drive the content as we're all used to now. the message from survivors new generations must learn from the past. their stories

live on is holograms there already twelve of them in the chicago museum hopes to persuade other museums to use this new form of memorial. for mr. fascinating look one can do with technology overnight to christophe another stern warning from the i.m.f. that's right i'm reading the global economic slowdown could be coming faster than expected that's the message from the international monetary fund's deputy managing director david lipton speaking at the world economic forum in davos his warning comes only two days after the i.m.f. lowered its forecast for world growth for this year and the next long the issues putting pressure on the global economy well britain's imminent departure from the european union weakness in emerging markets and the ongoing trade dispute between the united states and china well britain's still unresolved exit

from the european union is certainly the biggest challenge to europe at the moment with numerous heads of government including the german chancellor making an appearance on day two of the davos meeting the focus is shifting to europe and there's certainly enough for the continent to chew on at the moment. he's added again part of a promotion for a scottish company into us but it's hard not to hear a melancholic tune after all by next year's world economic forum britain should officially be out of the e.u. it's still not clear how so the british prime minister cancelled her visit to you might see prince william cross your path he probably won't be commenting on bragg's it though but others like this top german economist are speaking their minds. the terrible thing is that the e.u. is trying to find a way to make britain an offer for leaving that doesn't make sense we want them to stay in the e.u.

we want them to be part of it we have a historic opportunity to turn the situation around the e.u. should be making britain an offer to stay. if brakes have were off the table europe could finally concentrate on the future again it would do will to act now so that it's not left behind in competition with china and the us. it it's time to talk about a new european economic policy in the us consumer sector there's the digital platform economy in china we see how industry is rapidly digitizing and one of the big issues here is what is the future of digital infrastructure for european industry and davros is of course a forum where all that's being discussed. that. europe will try to set the tone in davos this year even though everything is being overshadowed by briggs it. alright let's cross over to davos and our senior business editor ben his own standing by ben the breadth of conundrum is on many people's minds at the forum and that is

despite the political deadlock that we're seeing in the u.k. right now there seems to be some progress tell us more. yeah baby steps are being made by liam fox the trade minister who's basically trying to replicate the use trade deals with the rest of the world for the u.k. and every single other country in the world so he's got a big job on his hands you know breaks it is just around the corner he's only here for two days but what better place to be there's no other conference in the world with so many world leaders he's already done deals with a straight you and you zealand so there's that progress he's also got south korea on his agenda here columbia canada hong kong and israel he will also be meeting investors to try to show them that things are going to run smoothly come break that it much and also he's holding a roundtable of c so i guess he has to be the busiest man here in davos now when europe is facing an array of issues we have bracks and on the one side then there's

a rise of populism people questioning democracy how's the mood in davos in light of these developments. well there's going to be a special addressed the softer noon from german chancellor angela merkel she'll be talking about europe today is europe day she'll be trying to assure countries that they need to look outwards not just in words whether of that message comes across is a good question i don't know c.e.o.'s would like to see that as well i mean it means that trade will flourish it means that they'll have better business of course i was talking to one entrepreneur who said that breaks it is a disaster for him he's got hundreds of jobs on the line because he just does not know what's going to happen he's got legal costs which are hurting and this is the situation for many people here w. senior business editor ben for zone reporting from davos ben thank you so much. and we'll have full coverage of the world economic forum throughout the day including the keynote address of the german chancellor i'm michel is to talk to the davos

crowd in about three hours time. now it has turned chilly here in berlin in recent days but not quite as chilly as in the northeast united states a winter storm there has taken temperatures down to minus twenty five degrees celsius and transformed the niagara falls into an icy spectacle just a waterfalls half partially frozen providing a stunning sight for visitors. oh my that doesn't look old and a reminder of the top story we're following for you have a smaller russian leader vladimir putin is hosting his turkish counterpart on for talks in moscow the pair are expected to discuss the fate of kurdish fighters in the last of syria. you're watching news coming to you live from berlin we have more coming at the top of the hour in the meantime you can get all the latest news and information around the clock on the website f.t.w. dot com for now thanks for joining me.
