the u.s. president says isis is defeated the kurds helped the u.s. to win the us paid them for their service is now us forces are leaving northern syria and coming home that was one week ago since then the turks have launched an attack on the kurds the kurds have turned to syria and the russians for help and those isis terrorists who were being guarded by the kurds and the americans well some of them have escaped claiming that they're caliph it will rise again i'm burnt off in berlin this is the day. that it was still that all regardless of the threats and oppression we are determined to continue the operation until the end i am stating clearly we will absolutely finish the job we started. we want this war to stop nobody

should die no soldiers no civilians we just want peace that is a clear condemnation from the european union site after this military action in the north east of syria this is a complicated situation for a few nuggets of course we're scared we're scared for the whole country for turks for kurds for everyone no one should be killed. for the book is going on not. because we use it on the money that you do we need in the fight against the pa you go to stand by your ally and they to member all the terrorists that are sitting there. also coming up prickly and may shift the vulgar language of the u.s. president now there's a disturbing video showing the president as a mass murderer his target us the news media but we are not alone.

they can't win an election so they're pursuing an illegal. constant. impeachment. but to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome that we begin the day with the race to fill the vacuum that was left when the americans were ordered to come home one week ago u.s. president trump announced u.s. forces were withdrawing from northern syria declaring turkey europe syria iran iraq russia and the kurds will now have to figure out the situation for themselves and that is exactly what is happening in new friends new alliances are being forged at breakneck speed and so far none of it looks good for the united states in the span of just a few days captured islamic state terrorists have escaped from detention camps where u.s. and kurdish forces had stood guard the threat of isis regrouping is now greater

than it any point since the caliph it was destroyed earlier this year and the kurds well they've accused america of leaving them alone to be slaughtered by the turks well since the turkish assault began last week the kurds have turned to syria's president assad and russia to give them cover to do what the u.s. used to do we have this report tonight on the fighting that is turning old foes into new friends. in the texas border town a field which a public outpouring of grief. and the women one picked off of their village chief he and 2 other men were killed in a mortar shelling an apparent reprising attack from across the border in syria. some us indictment we want this war to stop nobody should die no soldiers no

civilians we just want peace if 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 i'm helping with medicine you are never anderson q a lot of people show us where the weak dims died. within a radius of 20 meters traces of bomb fragments to sounds windows walls vehicles battered by shrapnel. and. i don't think it came from the outside maybe i'm over there i don't know but this is from a. similar stories can be heard in many turkish border towns. if people believe the war is just across the border in syria they know better now. but still the mail. supports the turkish offensive he claims the army is

fighting for a good cause. here in the uk 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 but 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 other there are concerns that ices 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 have 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 that this includes people in suits 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. every pore their body w.'s julia hahn 2 years ago the european union pledged to take in tens of thousands of refugees fleeing conflict zones such as syria and also libya according to the un the humanitarian crisis in libya alone is worsening with thousands of refugees held at overcrowded detention centers access to health care is limited and lots of people are at risk of abuse at the hands of smugglers and

human traffic is one of the country's leading the resettlement pledge is german or as i see it 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 the warden though that's the way we prefer to for the others the german chancellor angela merkel speaking so have the european union germany have they kept their promise to talk about that i'm joined by tom wills he's from didn't use david's. they've been crunching the numbers forwards and before i start i think it's we have to work point was worth pointing out that we're not talking about the deal between turkey and the user tom i mean what did you find out did they keep their promise no they didn't and the european union has not been very open about this recent program so they haven't published an update on the numbers since june and with the deadline looming at the

end of this month we have to ask them what was going on let's take a look at the figures when the scheme was announced back in $27.00 seeing the e.u. said it would all for resettlement for $50000.00 refugees used by the end of this month now the e.u. said miss it's not going to meet. according to the latest figures only 37000 people have been resettled so far and even the original target was criticized for not being enough to put in context 250000 recent places are going to be needed in the next 5 years according to the international rescue committee so the european commission is now working towards an extended deadline of the end of this year to try to hit 50000 promised but things are really going to have to speed up if that's going to happen immediately their big numbers we know that it's a total of 20 countries pledged to take in refugees did anyone meet the goals you know would keep their promise some of the countries did those leads and in britain have taken roughly $8000.00 people each as they promised germany is way behind as

mentioned so the interior ministry has told us that only $4800.00 refugees arrived on this program so far that's less than half the 10000 that we heard angela merkel promising just a moment ago from pledged to take the same number of people to germany and they've accepted about 90 percent of them so far so there's a lot of difference do we know why the european union has not met its goals well we are all of the countries that are behind on their resettlement promise is for an explanation not everyone gave a concrete reason germany said that the delay in forming a government on. after the elections in $27.00 seen how to help things out that held up the perforations belgium which is set to just over half the numbers it promised said it had received suspended the recess a month because the number of asylum applications from people already in belgium was higher than they'd expected are there are consequences to this absolutely i

mean some of the people waiting to be resettled those people in some of the camps in libya people who've been in fact waits it's in neighboring new. under un program and the un refugee and refugee agency is trying to use recess and to get people out as soon as possible as terrible conditions in libya but they're saying without the places available to send people to it's not happening fast enough all right tom wills crunching the numbers from our g.w. they did seem tom thank you very much. as the clock is ticking for british and european union leaders who are hoping to reach an agreement on brights it with just over 2 weeks to go before the deadline prime minister boris johnson is under immense pressure to secure a deal or to face parliamentary orders to seek another extension the new session of parliament opened today the ceremonial opening it sees an official of parliament

demanding members of the lower house the house of commons goods in the upper house to hear a speech by you guessed it the queen me speak out equating them all the honorable i have. to attend her majesty me to play and i have to say this. well that speech by the queen usually takes place every year to lay out the government's planned legislative agenda the queen's 1st words this monday were all about brics my government's priority has always been to secure the united kingdom's departure from the european union on the festival. my government intends to work towards a new partnership with the european union based on free trade and friendly cooperation. but the problem with that priority is that prime minister boris johnson faces too much opposition in parliament to make it happen the opposition

leader here jeremy corben reminded johnson of that and he added that the british people should have their say with a 2nd breaks at referendum that is something that johnson refuses to consider mr speaker there is never been such a fuss as a government with a majority of minus 45 and they. and i am 100 percent records of defeat in the house of commons. sitting out on the legislative agenda they know cannot be delivered in this mr speaker i concur retaliate with my own little friend of the it could be one thing more divisive more talks in the post referendum it will be a 2nd referendum that's correct all right well the uncertainty surrounding bracks it is making life uncomfortable for millions of e.u. citizens living in the u.k.

they were told last week that they could be deported if they don't apply for what's being called settled status. it's 10 am at the restroom and consider and stuff assembled for their morning meeting dutch. displays just 4 months ago despite the uncertainty caused by franks it now the government has said e.u. citizens like her could face deportation if they don't file the proper paperwork in time to have recent headlines like that feel like it's right. they keep on moving the goalposts 1st you have to apply one way and you have to find the other way and there's also no trust that the system actually works it's a shock and it's basically comes down. quite feeling quite unwelcome things are heating up in the kitchen as the chefs prepare from a show they call their food new european cuisine and their vicious kind of merry

offerings come from all over europe is just the stuff themselves 8 of the 10 people who work here come from outside the u.k. yeah it's going to be a spicy few months i think but as a lot of focus is the call for a customer. to nice. little european stock they don't know where they stand and i love to see for us we want it keep it keep it same together up to a quarter of all employees in british bars and restaurants come from other european countries but was bret's it looming fewer and fewer like to fill these jobs julia i only recently arrived from it's early for our 1st ever real job finds the political situation here hostile and hard to understand i just don't get why they are so upset they do want to fight us like we're doing so for them and we're not just working they just leave you that being said i want to her boss has taken

a gamble by pouring his savings and energy into this restaurant many other investors have been scared off by bricks it for her though this is a passion project she wants to believe in its future right here right now i love i don't invent stuff london and it's something that has just struck me just one time in 20 years and i really don't want to move away. to detroit to sydney he describes a place where people enjoy each other's company and feel that ease here it's a refuge from the truth world of rex it right outside the stores. a judge in spain has issued a new international warrant for the arrest of former kettle on president. he fled to belgium after that failed. back in 2017 the warrant to comes after the supreme court convicted 12 other carillon separatist leaders 9 of whom were given lengthy

prison sentences today. the signs in barcelona read free the political prisoners. after the judgment was declared thousands took to the streets that outraged by the long verdict handed down to catalonia separatist leader has said that yesterday 11th this sentence is horribly unfair it goes against all fundamental rights freedom of demonstration and freedom of expression that explain. this punishment is a disgrace a truth our democratic system is incompetent is not on the bike to try this is unbelievable. today. but for the supreme court in madrid it is clear that the catalan leadership is guilty of sedition the former vice president oriel zhang kara's the sentenced to 13 years in prison and 8 other defendants also received lengthy prison sentences. according to the judges those sentenced organized the

independence referendum in october 2017 despite a ban when the former president of catalonia collars pushed demand declared independence from spain violent clashes with the police broke out this resulted in madrid imposing direct rule over catalonia and one of spain's most serious political crises prime minister petra some says he hopes that this verdict will now and the matter once and for all. following the supreme court decision we need to turn the page and open a new chapter based on peaceful coexistence in catalonia through dialogue within the boundaries of the no under sponsorship solution. but many catalans don't seem ready to give up the fight since the ruling was handed down demonstrators have become blocking railway tracks and airports independence activists whom they are preparing for what they're calling democratic tsunami. was definitely

a volatile situation to talk about that i'm joined now by my colleague. from the spanish service it's good to have you here at the big table 1st time here so let's talk about what happened today is this a new chapter in the kettle on independence because while it is for sure anyway protests on the street there's a civil movement call it a democratic tsunami and they called for people to go on the street to have long term protests on the streets and peaceful protests they have been blocking 3 it's blocking the airport there's been 100 flights more than 105 in barcelona consulates today and there are supposed to be new cancellations tomorrow morning they want to stay there long are terror some of the protesters are also looking at hong kong. as example maybe even a role model you know people around the world looking at this story they think of

spain and they see barcelona and they can't imagine that barcelona or couple only would want to leave i mean what's the background there why did the catalogues why did they want to be independent while the couple an independence movement it's not neal it's much more in the media since 2017 with the referendum of the 1st but it is a movement that has always been there for example and it actually was really strong even though it must. during the franco to take a shit right it was of course banned and. but it and then when spain became a democratic country and of the seventy's it was led allies and since then it tests been mainly pacific and it tough always tried to have peaceful and it has always tried to have a conversation with margaret with the government a different governments a test and they're doing this democratic face of spain what they want is an independence professor at referendum. 2017 yes but they wanted something more like

scotland had many years ago or like of it in kind of academic head in the ninety's and that's what they wanted but madrid was always a differend governments did never allow a referendum a legal referendum to take place so they organized that in 2017 and the different reasons why people want independence economic theory is to start a cult cultural reasons we would need a lot of times. we're going to come back again hopefully from d.w. spend their service use they can very much welcome. let me tell you something biden starters corrupt. is corrupt and i'd rather run against by then almost any of those counted and i think the rule weak. but i think biden has never been a smart guy and he's less smart now than he ever wears he should be forced to resign from congress adam schiff he's a lowlife he should be forced to resign. or says are crazy there

politicians are corrupt their candidates are terrible and they can't win an election so they're pursuing an illegal. unconstitutional. impeachment. and your father was never considered smart he was never considered a good senator. he was only a good vice president because he understood how did his barack obama's. the language of u.s. president trump it has taken a noticeable turn from 2 nations and journalists more than anyone they can attest to this change because they are often the target of his verbal attacks trump has called the mainstream media the enemy of the people or does the language of the us president incite people to take action violence for example with that question is

being posed tonight after a video was reportedly shot last week at an event for trump supporters in miami and we're only showing a short edited version but some viewers may still find the images disturbing and the video is a parody on the movie kingsmen starring colin firth and what we see is the u.s. president visibly angry who then pulls out a gun and begins firing his victims are people but their faces are the logos of news outlets such as p.b.s. there you see the campaign logo from barack obama we see other news outlets it is the b. b. c. and the president there shooting one to the other and it's all taking place in what's known as the church of fake news at the end of this video what we see is a visibly satisfied and smiling trumpet looks at the camera. the president of the white house correspondents association has called the video vial and horrifying the association released

a statement which reads in part we have previously told the president that his rhetoric could incite violence now we call on him and everybody associated with the conference to denounce this video and affirm that violence has no place in our society well in addition to white house correspondents news organizations have requested a response from the white house and this is what was offered today the white house press secretary stephanie grisham tweeted the president of the united states has not yet seen the video he will see it shortly but based on everything that he has heard he strongly condemns this video. this video is not a single aberration and the president's hateful attitude towards journalists is shared by some who are not afraid to display their feelings in public or to show their support for violence i want you to consider this photo which we found on

social media it was tweeted by a reporter in washington d.c. she writes that her brother took the photo as he was boarding a flight from los angeles on this man's sure that you see there are the words rope tree journalist some assembly required are that's a clear call for hanging journalists. and we understand that passengers on that flight complained about the message on that shirt they were offered the possibility of taking another flight the man wearing the shirt we understand nothing was said to him this is about free speech but it is also about the power of words the power of words that are given extraordinary legitimacy when they are uttered by the u.s. president when the u.s. president spits out insults towards journalists at rallies it's not a big leap for some to take that as a license a license to kill or perhaps a license to think that and then to show it we're all the world can see it on the shirts on their backs for peaceful dissent that is definitely

a frontal assault. the day is almost done the conversation it continues online you'll find us at twitter either d.w. news or you can follow me and bring goth t.v. don't forget to use our hash tag of the day and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see that.
