portrait from a destroyed suit. from a painting in the soil. starts october 24th on t.w. . this is day to be a news line from berlin athlete elliott kidd charity has become the 1st person ever to run a marathon in under 2 hours to charity past the mythical 2 hour barrier on a specially prepared course in vienna posting one on 59 minutes and 40 seconds until the courthouse the story also coming up. turkey intensifies its offensive in northern syria as turkish troops stepped up their bombardment on

a kurdish militia the death toll is rising and thousands of civilians aflame in a desperate attempt to find safety. i'm rebecca riches welcome to the program kenyan rana elliott keep choke a has become the 1st man to break the 2 hour barrier for the marathon in a fit some previously thought was impossible completed the specially designed course in vienna in a time of one hour 59 minutes and 40 seconds the same one count as an official world record because of certain strategies used including the way to choke a was paced at a spot that the kenyan says he hopes his if it would inspire others to run faster thus the 60. 4 human being to make is to in sport after other forms the met is the knowledge of the fore. it took on other things but. i tried it and i think. it's

the sickest i have tried. to run on the 2 of us you know that the amount of people who tell people out there know your mind is limited. i'm expecting wall or the museum to use all of the water that are not toss. up well for more on this incredible inch a achievement i am joined by hagar for us our sports reporter hi thanks so much for coming in tell us about the race against a race against time i have should say that good ship could take one today how impressive is this achievement i don't know what your record of running a marathon is already president in 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 could show himself they did something similar to the impact that the moon landing had back then so this is

a barrier that has been broken now 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 named it a challenge so in this composition this was engineered to a tee 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 an ounce and this 41 piece makers are important because peace makers 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 publicist i'm told will it will it mean for anything well of course is a. felicity's but at the same time it is

a milestone and some awesome for athletics nike who is the sponsor try this a similar challenge 2 years ago but they came up short by 25 seconds so this was something that could actually really want to break himself and the thing is yes it's a publicity stunt you need the sponsors this time in their lives it was a perfect petrochemical company were able to or they were the ones sponsoring the challenge but you need the money upfront because then after that control it just needs to focus and running so he needs that money that cash that's come in and that's where the sponsors come in they do a publicist then to wash their image but anyway could short it was 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 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 for kenya but i would say for the whole world the fight it's excellent thanks so much for coming in. now to some of the other stories making news around the world the u.s. and china have agreed on a partial trade deal according to u.s. president donald trump that means the u.s. is spending suspending plans to increase tariffs on about $250000000000.00 of chinese imports trump and chinese president xi jinping could sign the partial agreement as early as november. the tropical cycle and high gibbers has been upgraded to a category 5 super typhoon and as it barrels towards japan one man has died after

high winds overturned his car in the city of new tokyo meteorologists say the typhoon could be the most dangerous in more than 60 years. the u.s. military is warning turkey that its incursion into syria could jeopardize progress in defeating the so-called islamic state kurdish led forces in the region say they can't keep an eye as prisoners contained and hold back the turkish military the u.s. defense department is calling on its nato ally to halt operations there has already been one explosion near an outpost of u.s. special forces and the u.n. says 100000 civilians have fled their homes since the beginning of the offensive 3 days ago. attacked on all sides the kurds have pounded by turkish artillery with death and destruction on the ground. and from the turkish military footage shows the sheer force with which they talk between could ish militias.

turkey is battling for 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 had an explosion in the city people are afraid. this house you see here they were children playing off 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 courage partner forces and u.s. troops remain with them in other parts of syria the impulse of action the 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 sanctions. if turkey does something that they shouldn't be doing we will put on

sanctions the likes of which very few countries ever see now the u.s. is backpedaling that troops are still on patrol a few kilometers from the conflict zone is and they have vacuity just days ago they've also come under fire from turkey shot tillery 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 kemi a car bomb claimed by us. took its president richard type has lashed out at the u.s. his criticism him know that we won't stop no matter what anyone says. because all those threats are coming from the left and the right for us to stop this.

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. are 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 describes as threats from the left come from our 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 uncle calls them will be removed from that area so there is no stepping back from ankara in fact if anything 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 i'm aware it is under increasing international pressure. and the kurds are fleeing this fighting understandably where are 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 go no one really knows because they really don't know where its safety is are unclear how far these talks 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 there's mainly arid desert 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 to 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 there 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 that this operation does seem to be extending and accelerating where will these people go will these people escape trump said its view the turks are for it will be turkey's responsibility but it's unclear how turkey will take over sponsibility given the fact that this 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 them are 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 standing by for us in istanbul thanks very much hopes for an end to days of unrest in ecuador a fading after indigenous leaders rejected a proposal from the president to hold direct talks they want president. state a fuel subsidy that was taken away as part of a $4200000000.00 deal with the international monetary fund. chaos on the streets of ecuador's capital quito day by day the violence between protesters
