announcement. they leave behind them empty bases near the turkish border bases that had been a guarantee of safety for kurdish forces u.s. president donald trump abruptly canceled that guarantee by tweet the kurds fought with us but were paid massive amounts of money and equipment to do so they have been fighting turkey for decades it is time for us to get out of these ridiculous endless wars many of them tribal and bring our soldiers home u.s. troops were in syria to support kurdish forces in the fight against the so-called islamic state but turkey has long resented the presence of kurdish paramilitaries near its border it considers them terrorists kurdish groups in the region have protested the move they feel abandoned by the u.s. and they fear a turkish invasion is imminent. i had the and hope this green light the trump gave to air to one will actually complicate the crisis

know support there are 6000000 displaced people inside syria more than 5 and a half 1000000 refugees in the neighboring countries it's a conflict that has gone on for far too long and therefore any operation that takes place at the moment has to take into account to ensure that we don't see any for the displacement i think it's on the ground in syria kurds are waiting for the next blow to fall in a region that's seen its share of misery and violence already. straight to washington then why would join d w correspondent to all of us welcome all of our wise president from doing this now . well phil president trump is under severe pressure as a result of the ongoing impeachment inquiry against him and we are nearing the 2020 election campaign so that combination puts him under even more pressure what he urgently needs right now is success is in foreign policy and he hasn't had many of those so far and what he's essentially trying to do here is to deliver on one of

his core election promises of 2016 which is of course to withdraw american troops from international crises and conflicts and war such as in syria that is something that he can achieve very easily was simply unilaterally deciding to pull his troops out of there he is also stressed that he believes that isis is defeated he's received lots of criticism criticism over that position here and another very important aspect for president trump at least is the financial situation whatever it takes to twitter he is stresses how much money the kurdish forces have received and how expensive it is to detain isis fighters over the years and that now the turkish turkey and the european partners would have to take care of this and he took this decision against pentago to advise. yeah that's right in the pentagon today in fact warned of the destabilizing consequences of a military action there in north and syria and that's nothing new in fact even in

2018 when he decided and announced for the 1st time in fact to pull out all syria has at the time a secretary of defense jim mad has resigned as an act of protest over president trump's decision and he's getting lots of criticism from his own party senator lindsey graham for instance one of his most avid supporters today criticizing president trump calling his decision impulsive and he also dismissed his take that the islamic states would be a defeat many voices are warning that isis could balance back as a result of that even the democrats are on the same page with the republicans a very rare situation and president trump seemed to have responded to that not by revising his decision by threatening turkey in fact he wrote on twitter today that if turkey would do anything off limits in this military operation that he would

a climate crisis is only redeemable by drastic actions but despite these protests we are hearing reports today that the german government's climate plans which had already been criticized for being. down a thing more. yes so the german government had introduced the president to just last week a massive climate action plan within los that should protect the german climate of the climate in general and that that action plan has already been criticized heavily for not being ambitious enough but now there's been in. publicized that this plan has been watered down even further for example this plan is only going to cost 2030 but now there's no goal no amazed by the german government how they want to reduce carbon dioxide until 2048 and so this plan is not being called ambitious enough and that's also what these climate activists. are demonstrating against. on a course which. thank you. for the nobel prize

for medicine has been awarded to 3 scientists from the united states and great britain where they were chosen for their pioneering discoveries of the way of blood cells and to oxygen availability in the body it's the 1st prize announced by committing this year. converting food to energy is a process that wouldn't be possible without oxygen but oxygen levels can fluctuate dramatically in the body during exercise climbing to high elevations or pregnancy amounts of the vital gas that are available for metabolism very. to keep functioning the body cells have to be able to adapt to these changing levels of oxygen but how does this adaptive process work. william kaylin serpico radcliffe and greg samantha discovered the mechanism behind it but i would say that the benefit is understanding these fundamental mechanisms but the practical

applications are all yet to come and that's actually what characterizes a great discovery that it opens up so many possibilities and really creates new new research areas for example in the healing of wounds treating patients with severe anemia or even cancer in their discovery kalen radcliff and samantha have laid the groundwork for a new era of drug development one that is now starting to address many dangerous ailments that modern medicine seeks to heal but here's the no rockets basketball team have apologized to china for a tweet in support of the hong kong's democracy protests at the tweet from the team's general manager has since been deleted but it read fight for freedom stand with hong kong and it led to china's state broadcaster to take a rocket to games off the millions of chinese fans of follow the n.b.a. team since of former player yao ming joined them in 2002 rockets and general
