3:04 pm
army an anti kurdish militia being sent in to claim captured territory. but turkey is in the driver's seat. and we can speak now to our correspondent yulia han she is in the turkish town of course to the close of the syrian border she joins us now hi yulia tell us what you've been seeing and hearing where you are. well we're about 5 kilometers away from the syrian border which is to this direction over there and the turkish military continues today to hit targets over there actually it's the turkish artillery firing from right behind me over there we can clearly and loudly hear the pounding we've also seen fumes of black smoke on the horizon this might be due to the attacks from the military but it might also be smoke that rises because kurdish
3:05 pm
fighters in northeast syria have been burning tires and other materials to make it more difficult for the turkish army to find targets over there now the turkish military says they have taken a few villages very close to the border but they're now encircling the biggest cities tel aviv and russell i in and while they're saying they are progress in moving deeper into northeast syria the kurdish fighters say on the other hand that they have so far been successful repelling these attacks and defending these cities against what they call is a turkish military assault. you've also been speaking to some locals there where you were on the turkish side of the border what are they saying about this offensive. well you have to know is very close to the boy it's a town of about 100000 people so everything that's happening here is affecting people as i said they hear the pounding day and night basically and then of course it's day 3 of this operation and it has caused civilian casualties on both sides of
3:06 pm
the border at least 7 people were killed inside syria according to the reports we have and less edley 6 people here on the turkish side because kurdish militants have fired rockets and mortars to turkish border towns so people here are on the one hand angry about the killings that have taken place many say they support this military operation but then there is also fear we actually have that many people left town many shops are closed schools have been closed we just met one family who told us they live in a building with 16 other families but they're the only ones who stayed so fear is a huge part of the atmosphere here right now. meanwhile we've heard from turkey you know we should say that turkey is a nato member and they're calling for solidarity from nato in this operation what exactly are they hoping to achieve. well turkish officials are
3:07 pm
very unhappy with the reactions all the international partners nato the european union because they say these partners have to show more solidarity supporting this operation which the turkish side the turkish government considers a legitimate ople ration that is according to international law so that's how they frame this operation and they're saying you know if you don't support as a missile add on was threatening partners very clearly if you don't support as if you're daring to call this open ration and invasion even i'm going to open the refugees to ward 0 so a lot of you know threats all being exchanged as well but the turkish government is definitely not happy with all the criticism it receives are at our correspondent yulia han following the latest for us there on the turkey syria border thank you yulia. now ethiopia's prime minister abu ahmed has been awarded the nobel peace prize for 2019 for his work to resolve the border conflict with
3:08 pm
neighboring eritrea the 2 countries restored relations in july last year after many years of hostility i meant took over as prime minister and early 2018. at the met has only been in office for a year and a half but his push for peace and democracy in that short time impressed the nobel committee. even if much work remains are they are has initiated important reforms that give many citizens hope for a better life and the brighter future abby was awarded for the reconciliation he forged with eritrea the 2 neighbors were in broiled in a longstanding border conflict. after a war in the late 1990 s. killed an estimated 70000 people they failed to implement a peace deal. but within months of taking office abby met with eritrea as president
3:09 pm
1st summit where they signed a historic peace agreement. it was a moment ethiopians and eritreans had been waiting for for decades the critics say there has been little progress since then on key goals such as economic cooperation . the nobel committee also recognized abbey for implementing democratic reforms when jiminy theo paeans respect coupled with the name of the he did alone for example releasing prisoners and granting freedom to people other than those of the bundle of doesn't mean only one year he has brought so much change hobby is the one who made freedom of speech possible for ethiopians. he even outside of ethiopia he has a great vision for rule african people peace democracy and equality he's one of the best leaders for africa right now. abby was praised for mediating in other regional conflicts like here in sudan the committee said the prize was intended to
3:10 pm
encourage abbie's efforts folk peace i'm jim ocracy in ethiopia and the region. let's check in now on some other stories from around the world a court in south africa has ruled that former president jacob zuma will stand trial for corruption his application to stop the case was rejected zuma you see here in the file footage is alleged to have taken bribes during his time as an economy minister in the 1990 s. he denies the charges in ecuador thousands of indigenous people have gathered for more protests in the capital quito it's the 7th day of nationwide demonstrations that are frequently involved clashes with riot police the president has evacuated his administration from the capital the unrest was originally inspired by cuts to fuel subsidies and other austerity measures. police in the u.k. say 5 people have been hospitalized after a stabbing attack at a shopping center in manchester counterterrorism police are investigating in the
3:11 pm
incident and the male suspect has been taken into custody. in you member states have given their chief breaks and negotiator the green light to seek a last ditch deal with the u.k. michel barnier will now go into another round of intense talks ahead of an e.u. summit next. week funny earlier met his british counterpart in brussels and said the meeting was constructive and that comes a day after british prime minister boris johnson and his irish counterpart layover carr sent signals that abraxane deal is still possible. ok let's get the latest on. a standing by for us in brussels now hi max of the e.u. is calling this next round of negotiations a tunnel negotiation so what does that mean does it mean that we're close to a breakthrough. we're actually calling this the tunnel or that's the wording across brussels because it's like you know you go into the tunnel and you see a small speck of light in the distance meaning there is some hope but you're not
3:12 pm
fully in the light yes actually official wording i think you mentioned it just is intense the talks over the next days that's what you diplomat told us so this means there is hope but you diplomats here and also the leaders across the continent or try to tone down hopes a little bit because we've had hope before and then it never materialized the money we might call for example in paris said that the next hours will be decisive we're watching we're waiting we'll see ok if you look down the tunnel max is it more likely now that the u.k. will leave the e.u. on october 31st. that is probably not very likely just for the reason that if they really do find a solution they'll probably need a technical extension to implement a deal you have to remember that the u.k. parliament would have to agree on it and also the european parliament would have to agree on it and you just can't throw in you know a law into the parliament needs to be translated in all the official languages and
3:13 pm
so that would take some time that would be the technical extension and if there is no deal you still have that law from the u.k. house of commons that says that boris johnson the u.k. prime minister would have to ask for an extension at the summit next week if there is no deal so he doesn't find a way around that there will be an extension until the 31st of january if of course the other e.u. member states agree to that ok next can you take us through that the next steps are in this pact the process 1st we have those intense talks are intense negotiations they will start right now basically go over the weekend we don't expect a breakthrough in these days or at least if there is a breakthrough we don't expect the e.u. or the u.k. to communicate it too much because they want to be sure that this is actually happening and probably communicated after the summit next week crucial summit here in brussels on thursday and on friday also brags that summit now there are another a couple of other meetings that might be important along the way for example the meeting of in my new call the french president and the german chance i get them
3:14 pm
back on sunday evening in paris though they will probably try to exchange their views on that and of course every day you will have you embassadors talking on the phone getting together trying to hash out that last minute deal because even if it will take some time to brew of a potential deal they will have to work out all the details and whether it's really feasible until next thursday all right next off and for us in brussels with the latest thank you max. u.s. president donald trump has held his 1st rally since democrats started impeachment proceedings over his dealings with ukraine he lashed out at democrats saying they were trying to destroy democracy he called their investigation a partisan witch hunt aleksandr phenomena reports from the divided streets of minneapolis. these you as go tourist wanted to make clear that donald trump is not welcome in the minneapolis and should be removed from office if he's just not fit
3:15 pm
for to be president of this country he is flagrantly abusing his powers and he needs to be stopped while these voters waited for hours in the rain to watch trump take the stage in the targets and to reno unshaken in their support for him despite the impeachment inquiry i think it's all made up by think it's fake news and i think it's just another way to try to get him out of office i have faith that it's going to work out for trying to drench it's going to be another black eye for the democrats that just keep doing nothing to try to get him out as the impeachment inquiry gets more and more support among the general public the presidents die hard supporters react with anger and defiance donald trump's reelection campaign wants to use this event here in minneapolis to rally his base around him the president however seems more and more concealed by the impeachment proceedings. at
3:16 pm
a combative campaign rally and angry down launch trump lashed out against the democrats accusing them of trying to overturn the 26000 election because they know they cannot be team in 2020 they want to raise sure votes like it never existed they want to erase your voice they want to raise your future. the president fired off insults and still no listen lawmakers using profanity to attack his political opponents in particular form. vice president joe biden he was only a good vice president because he understood how they kiss barack obama's. under fire from his own party for pulling u.s. troops out of the world and syria from defended his decision we were supposed to be in syria for 30 days we've now been there for 10 years we were supposed to be in
3:17 pm
afghanistan for a short period of time we're now going to be there for close to 19 years it's time to bring them home. i he speech was interrupted by some protesters who however were quickly removed from the arena i am an agenda as the president's told the crowds and he supported this thing came with applause and she a full chance. but out said the arena the anti trump protests carried on late into the nights. i had let's look at the latest trends in german politics now a recent polls have shown that the shift away from established parties is continuing and one of the parties to profit the most has been the greens especially as climate change has been a major topic dominated public and political debate well let's take a closer look at those numbers now from the german pollster in for us test the map
3:18 pm
joins us for more hi ron howard now this week the activists from extinction rebellion they've been organizing protests around the world calling for more action on the climate crisis what do germans think about climate protection. well they think it's one of the most important issues and nearly 80 percent of the germans say yes we have to do something but on the other hand it's 3 quarters of the germans who say we don't like it streets are blocked we don't live like that if students they don't attend school in the morning but go protesting and so it is. when you come to the question. of what do people think about the climate package which was introduced you see by yourself you see that the climate is that it is extremely important that something is happening and if you at these 2 numbers the 1st 2 you come to over 80 percent who say yes something has to
3:19 pm
be done and climate has been in discussion for the last few month you know in summer temperatures about 40 degrees and that was a really the highlight of the green party but we talk about this on the question of the standing of the parties in a bit later right now let's talk about another big global challenge migration not to stem the flow of migrants to the european union the e.u. struck a deal with turkey in 2016 that's now being called into question what do germans think about that. well let's 1st have a look at 20162060 the majority of the germans disliked that that. turkey was taking getting money for keeping the refugees there but the tide has changed it's now majority saying it's good that we have the treaty with turkey so the refugees will stay there and they're not come to germany and when it comes when
3:20 pm
it comes to parties it is also see that the majority of the city you see is who and the liberal party they have very very very very for these agreement with turkey when it comes to the a.f.p. to the right wing party and the left party is about one 3rd who say it's good that we have this treaty with turkey is a bit amazing that the right wing party says. we dislike over 50 percent say it's a bad it's a bad treaty with turkey they don't want more immigrants here in germany so surprise surprise and that was what parties what germans vote for if there were an election next sunday. yeah number one there's about one 3rd of the population don't know what which part i would vote for either you would go boating but if we had an election coming sunday we would have the c.d.u. the conservative party at 28 percent which is one percent of compared to last
3:21 pm
month the social democrats at 13 you see yourself. writing a 50 party at 14 the liberals at 7 the left party had 8 the green and a high of 24 but one thing is interesting the green party in the west is 26 percent in the east 13 only half of it that's the other way around when it comes to the right wing party to the 50 it's only 12 percent in the west but 23 percent in the east so there's still a big division within here in germany. for us poses the most interesting thing is the question how long will this climate discussion in germany be number one in the discussion here in the media it's all right brian todd in for testing the nap thank you pleasure now in athletics the fallout from the ban on nike coach

3:24 pm
were manipulated certainly many of them thought that into having to go receive medical training treatment from a doctor with salazar appealing his ban in the i.o.c. continuing investigations the only thing definite about the situation is that organ project athletes will need to find a new place to train. for environmental campaigners the forests of bonn in west africa are a weapon in the fight against climate change but the local people living on the fringes of the country's national parks rely on the forest for their livelihoods on has now adopted a un backed plan to prevent deforestation and develop more sustainable forestry. these trees are part of the green lungs of the world rainforests around 80 percent of guns to retreat and this is one of the protected zones.
