4:05 pm
cities. and while they're saying they are progress they 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. and you've also been speaking to some locals there or were you on the turkish side of the border what are they saying about this offensive. well you have to know is very close to the border 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 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 mortar to turkish border towns so people here are on the one
4:06 pm
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 pod 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 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
4:07 pm
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 mr adwan was threatening partners very clearly if you don't support as if you are daring to call this operation 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 following the latest for us there on the turkey syria border thank you. prime minister ahmed has been awarded the nobel peace prize for 2019 for his work to resolve the border conflict with neighboring eritrea the 2 countries restored relations in july of last year after many years of hostility took over as prime minister in early 2018. at the met has only been in office for a year and
4:08 pm
a half but his push for peace and democracy in that short time impressed the nobel committee. even if much work remains our be are with has initiated important reforms that give many citizens hope for a better life and the brighter future. abbi 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 every trace president 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
4:09 pm
. the nobel committee also recognized abbey for implementing democratic reforms when jiminy theo peons respect have over the name of the he did alone for example releasing prisoners and granting freedom to people. on the island doesn't mean only one year he has brought so much change 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 lives in 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 encourage abbie's efforts folk peace and democracy in ethiopia and the region. let's get more on the story now we have. with us here in our studio hi tommy tells more about why peacemaking efforts have been so significant well the.
4:10 pm
stalemate has been one of the most serious and most difficult conflicts to saul's in africa they had this war between them between 198-2000 after that even though the war stopped there was still this tension between them the stalemate and these 2 sister countries which really just had a border between them that was pretty much all that separated them were not on good terms but i'd be stepped across went to eritrea was able to have talks with the leadership that bring the 2 back to the table open the border as well and to be reunited again this was something that was seen as almost impossible eritrea has been an outcast internationally but abby was able to step up and bridge that divide and really was the key point behind this nobel peace prize the nobel committee also
4:11 pm
honoring abby for his work domestically is the message. tell us more about that yes there have been rapid reforms in opening up the democratic space some would call it a political liberalization that he has brought across open up the democratic space for people to have and just have freedom of speech for example releasing thousands of political prisoners journalists as well who've been in prison welcoming exiles back into the country including a significant number of women in his cabinet or one half of his cabinet women is things like that which has you know it's a long time it's been seen as an authority or 3 tarion kind of government and b. has broken that that wall and sort of soft and what leadership looks like if you will so he's seen as a reformer we've heard a lot of voices of support in our reporting at the same time he's also facing criticism at home why. the of his own people depending which side of the divide you
4:12 pm
are some people say he's idealistic and some say is narcissistic in the way he's going to about these reforms but you look at some of the for example the ethnic tensions that have been exposed jew in this period he's been in office they've been protests and they've been lots of people also displaced millions of people displaced by the ethnic tensions and people are saying he's not doing enough to resolve that let's remember that you know this is a country that has a struggle to make tensions and a lot of him political parties are split along those lines and people feel that as much as i was making a lot of strides he's not addressing some of these core issues ok well there has been reaction from from the obvious office and there was this call a transcript of his call with the nobel committee and he said he's humbled and thrilled and he said quote the prize is given to both africa and ethiopia and i can imagine how the rest of africa as leaders will take it positively to work on the peace building process on our continent what message do you think this prize sends to the rest of the continent i think it's a wake up call for the continent abby has only been in office for a year and
4:13 pm
a hoss. and being the head of state of africa's 2nd most populous country and being able to have such major reforms when a lot of african leaders have all sorts of excuses as to why they con to whatever in their countries so i think both for the heads of state across the country but also for citizens in different parts of the country a continent rather they will they will see that abby has been recognized for this beyond borders and see that their own leaders as well should be able to do something similar to what he's done so a moment of pride as well for a lot of africans but i think also one of retrospection right get of use to me a lot of both thank you for sharing your insights with us. let's check in now on some other stories making news around the world of course in south africa has ruled a 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 a legit alleged to have taken bribes during his time as an economy minister in the
4:14 pm
1990 s. he denies those charges. iran says 2 rockets have struck one of its oil tankers off the coast of saudi arabia near the city of jeddah no injuries have been reported but iranian state television says the explosion caused an oil leak into the red sea saudi arabia has not commented on the incident and 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 the incident and a male suspect has been taken into custody. a new member states have given their chief breaks at negotiating the green light to seek a last ditch deal with the u.k. michelle bunyan will now go into another round of intense talks ahead of an e.u. summit next week bonnie earlier met his british counterpart in brussels and said the meeting was constructive that's a day after british prime minister boris johnson and his irish counterpart sent
4:15 pm
signals that a break the deal is still possible. ok let's get the latest on bragg's of mine is standing by for us in brussels now hi max 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. that an e.u. diplomat told us so this means there is hope but you diplomats here and also the leaders across the continent are trying to tone down hopes a little bit because we've had hope before and then it never materialized money with michael 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 that 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 that and also the european parliament would have
4:16 pm
to agree on it and you just can't throw in you know of a law into the parliament needs to be translated into all the official languages and 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 mexican you take us through the next steps here in this directive 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
4:17 pm
a couple of other meetings that might be important along the way for example the meeting over money call the french president and the german chance i get them back on sunday evening in paris though they will probably try to exchange their views on that and then of course every day you will have the u.n. bassett or is 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 max often for us in brussels with the latest thank you max german prosecutors say the man accused of killing 2 people in eastern germany on wednesday has confessed to the crime they say the 27 year old german has also admitted to having a far right and anti-semitic motive people and hala is still in mourning 2 days after a gunman tried and failed to storm a synagogue while it was packed with worshipers marking the jewish day of atonement

4:19 pm
might be. you're always afraid that someone might be there you know not exactly for me but such things really do happen. this this so the assassination attempt in hull or just the presence of neo nazis in general. here there's always fear. amongst the. death threats images of hitler found in there may box this is everyday life for the deaths our community but direct attacks and vandalism with swastikas also take place. this is what we have to live with regard to recover we can't change the situation. what could we do. the jewish community and how it's small they have no budget for security measures that's why vesa men sent a letter to sex in the un has ministry of the interior but it refused to give financial support remove we have to undertake security measures there's no other option so
4:20 pm
this has given us about a member safety the school security is expensive but our members' lives are more valuable than security measures. if something should happen who would be to blame. now one day after the attack and a police car is stationed in front of their building but someone and his colleagues do not know how long it would be there. u.s. president donald trump has held his 1st rally since democrats started their impeachment inquiry into his dealings with ukraine trump lashed out at democrats saying they were trying to destroy democracy he called their investigation a partisan witch hunt it is aleksandr phenomena reports from the divided streets of minneapolis. these here as voters wanted to make clear that donald trump is not welcome in the police and should be removed from office if she's just not fit for
