11:02 am
to not care how it's the 6th after i have had just the man to run under 2 hours in order to spite him at many people to tell people that there are no human is limited time to it i'm expecting more of the 2 missing pieces almost all to run on the toss after after after today. well for more on this incredible inch a achievements i am joined by hacker forest sports reporter hi thanks so much for coming in tell us about the race against a race against time i have should say i want to die how impressive is this achievement i don't know about your record but running a marathon is already president of my book but to do it under 2 hours that's absolutely mind blowing and to put things into perspective imagine running the 100 meter dash in just over 17 seconds 420 times continuously nonstop so it's really breaking a barrier for humanity here himself said something similar to the impact that the
11:03 am
moon landing had back then so this is a barrier that has been broken however and this is very important as you mentioned to you. breaking a 2 hour mark will not count toward record as it happened in an area that was not a competition they needed a challenge so in this composition this was engineer 2 a team for him to be able to break that 2 hour mark so he not only had cars in front of him that had lasers that would show where he had to be running at the exact time in order for him to make that time he also had 41 pacemakers going along with him in announced in this 41 peacemakers are important because peacemakers they create wind protection so also the weather was very important as weather conditions for him to be able to achieve that feat the course in vienna was also completely flat there's very little inclination so he was able to do that and i mean everything went to fine today so the fact that it won't be counted as a world record is this anything more than a public system to what it would mean for anything well of course is
11:04 am
a felicity stunt but at the same time it is a milestone it's a milestone for athletics nike who is the sponsor of georgia try this a similar challenge 2 years ago but they came up short by 25 seconds so this was something that could really wanted to break himself and the thing is yes it's a publicity stunt you need the sponsors this time in there was a. petrochemical company were able to or they were the ones sponsoring the challenge but you need the money up front because enough of that control it just needs to focus and running so he needs that money that cash flow to come in and that's where the sponsors come in they do it out of this it is them to wash their image but anyway that was the one that had to skip the berlin marathon this year which he ran last year and brought the world record at in order to prepare for this day what impact will this have on athletics well i mean there's this quest to always go harder be better faster stronger and it just seems that it's nonstop we
11:05 am
always talk about the 2 hour mark as being something that will never happen and now it's been broken so this also comes to it in a time when the world of athletics is under heavy scrutiny there's a lot of cases of doping there's been a lot that has put the whole sport under under fire but it has never been accused of any wrongdoing before so in this case it is a victory not only for children for kenya but i would say for the whole world the fight it's excellent flora's thanks so much for coming in. now to some of the other stories making news around the world the u.s. and china have a grade on a partial trade deal according to u.s. president donald trump that means the u.s. is suspending plans to increase tariffs on about $250000000000.00 of chinese imports trump and chinese president xi jinping could sign a partial agreement as early as november 2. the tropical cycle and high give it has been upgraded to a category 5 super typhoon as

11:07 am
territory held by the kurdish led syrian democratic forces ankara says the offensive will secure turkey's border and create a safe zone for syrian refugees. but right now this part of syria is anything but safe. this is the 6th time we've heard an explosion in the city people are afraid. this house you see here they were children playing a mortar fell and killed a boy the girl she lost her leg. and the u.s. pentagon wants tookie to stop to be clear we are not abandoning our current partner forces and u.s. troops remain with them and other parts of syria the impulse of action a president or want to invade northern syria has put the united states in a tough situation given our relationship with our nato ally turkey who has fought alongside the united states in the past and president trump is threatening
11:08 am
sanctions. if turkey does something that they shouldn't be doing we will put on sanctions the likes of which very few countries if ever see now the u.s. is backpedaling the troops are still on patrol a few kilometers from the conflict zone as and they evacuated just days ago they've also come under fire from turkey shot to larry although with no reported injuries. this is c.c.t.v. footage of a large camp holding tens of thousands of family members of islamic state militants and it shows an apparent escape attempt the campus controlled by kurdish forces and they say the situation is critical and in the kurdish town of camille a car bomb claimed by us. took its president rich it has lashed out at the u.s. his criticism him know that we weren't stopped no matter what anyone says. because all those threats are coming from the left and the right for us to stop this.
11:09 am
i've told mr trump and others if you're going to stop this stop it but you haven't so i will take matters into our own hands. civilians who once fled i-s. and now again desperately seeking refuge as another humanitarian crisis unfolds in syria. his dying jones is standing by for us and daryn what's istanbul's reaction to the u.s. threats. well president heard one in a very tough speech said we're not going to step back we're going to continue with this op operation even though we are facing what he described as threats from the left i'm from the right from everywhere and he outlined that that the scope of the operation is to create this safe zone of 32 kilometers into syria and which it will be all the syrian kurdish militia or terrorists as ankara calls them will be removed from that area so there is no stepping back from ankara in fact if anything
11:10 am
they are ramping up the pressure on the syrian kurdish militia and there is expected to be a further. acceleration of the of this operation given the fact that uncle is aware it is under increasing international pressure. and kurds are fleeing this fighting understandably where they seeking shelter and who's helping them. well that is the big fear among all aid agencies we've already understand that around a 100000 people have been displaced by the fighting of a group saying that that figure could rise 230-0000 it's around half a 1000000 people located about 5 kilometers into syria where this operation is good is continuing now where these people will go no one really knows because they really don't know where its safety is are unclear how far this turkish operation is going to go we have reports of bombing is already 3040 kilometers deep into syria and beyond the cisneros strip of inhabited towns and villages is mainly arid desert
11:11 am
and that is a big concern among aid agencies if these people head into this area it will be very hard to provide assistance and support to these people and we've been hearing a lot about this assault increasing the risk that i ask jihadists could escape from prisons that the kurds are guarding so how much of a danger do they pose to people in northeastern syria. well we already had reports that there was a bombing in commercial a town right on the border where strikes by turkish forces hit a prison where that many islamic state people were being held in that town those people some people are believed to escape and it believes that some of those may have been responsible for this latest bombing and this just gives an insight into the wider danger that the international community are really worried about because there is over $10000.00 islamic state militants in the heart is being held by the syrian kurdish forces on top of that there are tens of thousands of sympathizers family members also being detained what will happen to those people given the fact
11:12 am
that this operation does seem to be extending accelerating where will these people go will these people escape trump said it's you the turks are for it will be turkey's responsibility but it's unclear how turkey will take of this sponsibility given the fact it is increasingly becoming a war so the major concern among the internet community is among those jihad it's believed as many as 2000 foreign nationals some of the believed to be europeans. russians on from russian area of the region so there is also growing concern about what will happen to those charges daryn johns standing by for us in istanbul thanks very much. hopes for an end to days of unrest in ecuador a fading out indigenous leaders rejected a proposal from the president to hold direct talks they want president to reinstate a fuel subsidy that was taken away as part of a $4200000000.00 deal with the international monetary fund. is chaos on the streets
