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. dead of us killed all that regardless of the threats and pressure we are determined to continue the operation until the end i am stating clearly we will absolutely finish the job we started unless indeed we want this war to stop nobody should die no soldiers no civilians we just want peace that is a quote from the nation from the european union site after this military action in

the north east of syria this is a complicated situation. now this of course we're scared we're scared for the whole country for turks for kurds for everyone no one should be killed on the sort of the book is going on not. because we use it on the money that you do we need in the fight against the pile you going to stand by your ally a nato member all the terrorists. also coming up prickly and nation the vulgar language of the u.s. president now there's a disturbing video showing the president as a mass murderer his target the news media but we are not alone time to sit down. with election day so they're pursuing an illegal valid unconstitutional. impeachment.

but to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome 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 get 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 of food which a public outpouring of grief. for the women in more than that death 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. 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 a kurd. for every one no one should be killed you son i'm helping with medicine ya

know then there are some cute little people show us where the weak tims 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 from over there i don't know but this is from a. look at loads of 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. you're still the mayor of supports the turkish offensive he claims the army is fighting for a good cause the enemy here in the uk to collar we are hosting 125000 syrians

you might be able to imagine how difficult that is we want to 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 but 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 u.n. the humanitarian crisis in libya alone is worsening with thousands of refugees held in 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. or one of the country's leading the resettlement pledge is german or is out the list is our

aim is to prevent illegal migration and replace it with legal opportunities that. germany will accept 10000 refugees selected by the un h.c.r. in the current resettlement program always give you the warden though that is the way we prefer who for the father was 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 the w.'s david team. i've been crunching the numbers forwards and before i start i think it's we have to work point it's worth pointing out that we're not talking about the deal between turkey and the e.u. so 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 2017 the e.u.

said it would all for resettlement for $50000.00 refugees used by the end of this month now that he's admitted it's not going to me. according to the latest figures only 37000 people have been resettled so far and even the original target was criticised for not being enough to put in context 250000 resettlement places a gun they 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 it's a challenge of $50000.00 promised but things are really guns have to speed up if that's going to happen immediately there are big numbers we know that the 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 so sleeves and person have taken roughly $8000.00 people each as they promised germany is way behind as mentioned 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 uncle americal promising just a moment ago from the pledge 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 also all of the countries that are behind on their recent promises for an explanation not everyone gave a concrete reason germany's that the delay in forming a government on. to the elections 27 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 it to 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 u.n.

program and the u.n. refugee and refugee agency is trying to use resettlement to get people out as soon as possible of those 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 they did see tom thank you very much. as the clock is ticking for british and european union leaders who are hoping to reach an agreement on breaks 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 go to the upper house to hear a speech by you guessed it the queen mr speaker the queen i'm all the honorable

have. to attend her majesty me to play and i have hated. 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 bricks my government's priority has always been to secure the united kingdom's departure from the european union on the festival but. 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 brights at referendum that is something that johnson refuses to consider mr

speaker there is never been such a fosse as a government with a majority of minus 45 and. i mean by 100 percent record of defeat in the house of commons. sitting out on the legislative agenda they know cannot be delivered in this case just because i concur with while befriended that we could be one more divisive more toxic than the 1st referendum it will be a 2nd referendum that's correct all right well the uncertainty surrounding brights it is making the wife 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 lunch recess when crusaders and

stuff assemble for their morning meeting dutch. display. it's just 4 months ago despite the uncertainty caused by pricks it now the government has said e.u. citizens like her could face deportation if they don't fire the proper paperwork in time to her recent headlines like that feel like a threat. thank you for moving the goalposts up 1st you have to apply one way then you have to find other way and there's also no trust that the system actually works it's a shock and it's basically you know comes down to. being quite feeling quite on welcome things are heating up in the kitchen as the chefs prepare from a wish to 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. leave all european stock they don't know where they stand but i love to see for us we want to keep it keep the same together up to a quarter of all employees in british bars and restaurants come from other european countries but was looming fewer and fewer apply to fill these jobs julia i got only recently arrived from each of the 4 1st ever real job finds the political situation here hostile and hard to understand just why they are so upset they do want to fight us like we're doing. them and we're not we're just working they're just leaving 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 love invent something and it's something that has just struck me just once. 28 i really don't want to live the way. the ducks would to save me he describes a place where people enjoy each other's company and feed it is here it's a refuge from the truth world of sit right outside these doors. a judge in spain has issued a new international warrant for the arrest of former cattle on president. that he fled to belgium after that failed independence bid back in 2017 the warrant to comes after the supreme court convicted 12 other kettle on separatist leaders 9 of whom were given lengthy prison sentences today. the summons in barcelona re free the political prison as. after the judgment was declared

thousands took to the streets that outraged by the long verdict handed down to cut and then yes separatist leader has said that yesterday 11th this sentence is horribly unfair it goes against 2 fundamental rights freedom of demonstration and freedom of expression that explain. this punishment is a disgrace a truth our democratic system is incompetent this that and if i could 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 orioles young carers was sentenced to 13 years in prison and 8 other defendants also received lengthy prison sentences. according to the judges those sentenced organize the independence referendum in october 2017 despite a ban when the former president of catalonia talers putsch 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 petro some says 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 law and the sponsors of solution. but many catalans don't seem ready to give up the fight since the ruling was handed down demonstrators that began blocking railway tracks and airports in the independence activists whom they are preparing for what they're calling democratic tsunami. so it's definitely a volatile situation to talk about that i'm joined now by my colleague neo's peretz from the w.'s 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 well it is for sure and you waves of protests on the street there's the civil movement call it a democratic tsunami and they called for people to go on the street to have long protests on the streets and peaceful protests they have been blocking 3 it's blocking the airport there's been a 100 flights 105 in barcelona canceled today and there are supposed to be new cancellations tomorrow morning they want to stay there long art. some of the protesters are also looking at hong kong. it's another example is example maybe even a role model you know people around the world look at this story think of spain and they see barcelona in the can't imagine that alone not only would want to leave what's the background there why did the catalogues why did they want to be

independent. 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 it actually was really strong you know that would just prohibit. during the franco dictatorship but it was of course banned and booted and then when spain became a democratic contrie and of the seventy's it was led allies and since then it tests been mainly pacific and it always tried to have peaceful and it has always tried to have a conversation with madrid with the government different governments attest in there during this democratic phase of spain what they want is an independence professor at referendum which they joined in 2017 yes but they wanted something more like scotland had many years ago or like about. head in the ninety's and that's what

they wanted but madrid was always a differend governments did never allow a referendum on a legal referendum to take place so they organize that in 2017 and the different reasons why people want independence economically is to start a cult cultural reasons we would need a lot of times. we're going to come back again hopefully new spirits from d.w. spender service very much welcome. let me tell you something biden's son is corrupt and biden is corrupt and i'd rather run against biden than almost any of those candidates and i think they're all 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. democrats policies are crazy their politicians are corrupt their candidates are terrible and they know they can't win

an election so they're pursuing an illegal invalid and unconstitutional. impeachment ah and you father was never considered smart he was never considered a good senator he was only a good vice president because he understood how to kiss 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 that question is being posed tonight after a video was reportedly show 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 it is 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 a 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 correspondence news organizations have requested a response from the white house and this is what was offered today the white house press secretary 70 grisham tweeted the president of the united states has not yet seen the video he will see it shortly but based upon 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 now 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 us 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 that 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 you then it'll.
