a huge election when that's set to. take up to implementing reforms critics a democratic. and millions of european union citizens in britain about things thrown out after. this industry are especially fearful of new rules for a new citizens in the u.k. and. i'm for welcome to the program turkish forces are advancing further into syria as fighting continues along the 200 kilometer stretch of the country's northern region the turkey backed free syrian army is reported to have taken the city of west fighters have been removed. in the flags of kurdish backed troops and raising their

own is part of a coordinated push directed by turkey after american forces withdrew from the region. turkish president vegetal one has indicated that his troops are also ready to launch an assault on the syrian city of man big in the west which is currently held by syrian kurds turkish media reporting that the country's forces are already at the city's edge having arrived there in the last 24 hours. how will syrian government forces fighting alongside the kurds change things. well the situation there on the battleground in northeast syria got much more complicated with the latest developments to say the least now off to the kurdish forces that have officially turned to the syrian government and its ally russia for
5:03 pm
military assistance but it has been sending units of troops we don't know how many from aleppo and nearby military bases to woods monday and as you just mentioned that monday in north in syria is one of the areas that army is right now preparing to attack they have been sending additional towns reinforcements over there so right now everything seems to be possible in the next day it's a direct military confrontation there between 2 armies or turkey eventually backing down. what we heard president add on earlier today and he said he is determined to go ahead with this open gratian until the very end so far no signs of relenting there from but it's probably safe to assume that a lot of crisis talks are taking place right now behind the scenes phone calls
5:04 pm
probably being exchanged between ancora and moscow as well it will be important what moscow say is about this because russia is bashar al assad's most important and strongest ally there in the region but of course this is all taking place on the political level it's very important to pay attention to the human suffering on both sides of the border and now it's day 6 of this military operation there have been a number of civilian casualties reported on the syrian side but also on the turkish side as well at least 18 civilians have been killed here on the turkish side in apparent reprisal attacks from syria now when we wasn't at one of these a border towns here in turkey and i brought you this report. in the turkish border town of such a public outpouring of grief. the women mourn the death of their village chief he and 2 other men were killed in a mortar shelling an apparent reprisal attack from across the border in syria.
5:05 pm
we want this war to stop nobody should die no soldiers no civilians we just want peace you would have thought we had of course we're scared we're scared for the whole country for turks for kurds for everyone no one should be killed you son or none have been remiss and you are never anderson. the other people show us where the weak timbs died. within a radius of 20 meters traces of bomb fragments. windows walls vehicles battered by shrapnel. and i don't think it came from the outside maybe from over there i don't know but this is from a. similar stories can be heard in many turkish border towns. if
5:06 pm
people believe the war is just across the border in syria they know better now. still the mayor of supports the turkish offensive he claims the army is fighting for a good cause. here and not to call that we are hosting 125000 syrians you might be able to imagine how difficult that is we want a safe zone to resettle the 3500000 refugees that have become a burden for turkey over the past 8 years europe occasionally sends a little money but we pay the real price syrians should go back to their homes. the area northeast syria that is supposed to become a safe zone is anything but. for days the turkish army and syrian opposition fighters have clashed with kurdish militia and while they are busy fighting each
5:07 pm
other there are concerns that isis jihadists which are already defeated in the area might be able to regroup. international criticism of the turkish military campaign is growing the united nations say the offensive has caused more than 100000 civilians to flee but the consequences of also been dramatic on this side of the border in turkey and many people we've talked to here are hoping that the violence won't continue to escalate because this includes people inside rich who are grieving over the death of their village chief. and pray that the turkish military operation will and before they have to bury more of their loved ones. were murdered . back to. real is the threat of isis fighters escaping from prisons where they're being held by the. starting to
5:08 pm
fight. well from what we understand they're from the syrian side the situation in some of these camps seems to be quite chaotic and that is something the kurdish forces there have been warning about from the very beginning they said we can't have 2 battles one against the turkish army and the other one against a so-called islamic state now we had have heard reports that some of the isis supporters family members have managed to escape one of the camps there and we have at the same time claims by the turkish military that the kurdish militants have released or set free ice is members before the turkish forces arrived there so we were not able to independently verify this but there is a lot of conflicting information out there right now but there are real concerns that isis might be the group that benefits from the emerging chaos that in
5:09 pm
northeast syria. there you go hand in southern turkey thank you so much. but 2 years ago the european union pledged to take in tens of thousands of refugees are fleeing conflict zones like syria and also libya according to the u.n. the humanitarian crisis in libya is in particular is worsening with thousands of refugees held in overcrowded tension centers access to health care is limited many of them are at risk of abuse at the hands of smugglers and traffickers one of the country's leading the resettlement pledge is germany one that is our aim is to prevent illegal migration and replace it with legal opportunities that. germany will accept 10000 refugees selected by the u.n. h.c.r. in the current resettlement program always give you all that's the way we prefer. so let's see if they are you and germany have kept their promises from d.w.i.
5:10 pm
data has been crunching the numbers and welcome top before we start i think it's worth pointing out that we're talking about 2 to separate things we're not here talking about the e.u. turkey deal that's right this is the deal that was announced by the european union in 26 to help particularly refugees in north africa and some of the other countries neighboring syria ok so what have you found out i have promises been kept well i'm afraid they haven't fill the european commission has not been very open with us about this they haven't published an update on this refugee resettlement scheme since june and with a deadline looming at the end of this month we have to ask them what was going on so let's take a look at the figures. ok so there they are that $50000.00 places promised in december 27th to more than $37000.00 people resettles of 250000 others so those are the figures but we have
5:11 pm
a total of 20 countries who pledged to take in refugees did anyone keep their promise well some of them have so sweet and in person with 2 of the country's leading this and they've taken roughly 8000 refugees each as promised when we come to germany way behind the in syria ministry has told us that only $4800.00 refugees arrived under this program and that's less than half of the $10000.00 that we medical promised just a month ago france has pledged to take the same number of people as germany and they've accepted about 90 percent of those so far so what's the problem was why is the e.u. falling down on this well we asked all of the countries that are behind on their pledges for an explanation not all of them were able to give a concrete reason germany said that the delay in forming a government after the elections here in 2017 would help things up and they were hoping to catch up in the coming weeks and months belgium on the other hand which is accepted just over half the numbers that promised said suspended the
5:12 pm
resettlement program because of an increase in asylum applications from people who are already in belgium so if this does not happen and you say the deadline for this is this month then then what's one of the consequences well european commission has told us it's now working to an extended deadline of the end of the year so there is a little bit of a chance for people to catch up but things we're really going to have to speed up if they don't meet the 50000 pledge by the end of the year and some of the people who are immediately affected by this are refugees insentient senses in libya for example the united nations refugee agency is trying to use these resettlement places to get people out of libya as quickly as it can. but they saying that without the places they can't get people out of libya fast enough and people aren't ending up in temporary camps which rules are filling up we had angela merkel say she wanted this to be an alternative to what she called illegal immigration and the
5:13 pm
united nations refugee agency says that around the world there are 1400000 people in need of resettlement in the coming years so if the european union really wants resettlement to be an alternative to people making a regular journeys across the mediterranean for example then the guns have to step up the numbers and they're going to have to meet the promises that they've made ok thanks for talking us through those figures tom will you don't lose that data department thank you for for take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world will start in ecuador where indigenous leaders have agreed to end protests after president a living moreno agree to reinstate a fuel price subsidies agreement came after nearly $2.00 weeks of violent street protests people were angry about austerity measures brought in to obtain a multi 1000000000 dollar love from the international monetary fund. the 29000 nobel prize for economics has been awarded to 3 researchers for their work to

5:15 pm
said that me well that they go steady we have 4 years of hard work ahead of us i. vote because poland must continue to evolve and improve said. was jimmy so we must maintain our credibility which you must ensure that no one poland has any doubt that what we are doing is good genuine and responsive to. their social welfare programs anti immigrant policies and social conservatism a popular with many polish people but the biggest opposition bloc says that divisive. people want cooperation they want us to show that we are able to overcome the splits that are in our country people don't want poland to be divided into parts people don't want their hearts broken because poles are not able to
5:16 pm
understand each other we are the ones who are promoting cooperation it's the smaller parties also made against it's a left wing coalition is back in parliament and the far right exceeded poland's national voting fresh hold and will also get seats. was but the big winners of the lauren justice party during the campaign they promised to raise the minimum wage and not to grant rights to gay people it's this and judicial reforms that have drawn new criticism. it says the party is weakening the rule of law and undermining poland's democracy. was going to. leave your courthouse joins us from warsaw welcome to libya what's behind the law and justice party is big victory well we could see that the turnout was unbelievably high it was 60 percent which means that the law and justice party could convince voters which would usually not vote for them and they
5:17 pm
did it with a very strong election campaign that they went by bosses to small religious and towns and talk to the local people there and they introduced and promised new social benefit programs this is also what the people have felt for the last 4 years they had many new social benefits and they felt the money coming in so they voted for peace because for law and justice because they thought that their life will become better in the next 4 years with this with this party ok so the economy as a whole an uptick benefits have gone what else to lauren justice now want to achieve but they didn't in their 1st. well they already are working no new reforms for the last 4 years we've already seen many changes in the justice system which basically harmed the independence of judges and courts in poland and hopes the rule of law here and they want to continue with that so far the justice system will get more dependent on politics
5:18 pm
also they seem to target the media at least in the program we can see now that they want to introduce a new council which checks the standards for journalists and what about the opposition why have they failed to connect with voters. the opposition had a very very weak campaign compared to the largest this party they basically could just push through with 11 basic message which was if you work for us there will be no law and justice in power and voters in poland are you know they're a bit sick of this polarization between the 2 parties justice and the biggest. oppositional party civic platform so they position could not mobilize these voters anymore a little quarter warsaw thank you so. much especially in where a judge has issued a new international warrant for the arrest of former president to congress proved
