coming in from iran that's just across the border with turkey turkey is targeting a number of syrian towns close to its border and has been pushing deeper than expected. now meanwhile from the south syrian government forces are battling to join up with kurdish fighters in the very same area. syrian troops heading towards the turkish border 80 years after president bashar assad lost control over northern syria his army is moving back and. the kurds who control the region saw no alternative other than to relinquish their hard won autonomy and enlist the syrian government's help turkish air strikes and artillery have continued to rain down on the border town of ras eyeline. takesh backed rebel groups have already expelled the kurds from. another town on the border. but in nearby tell

ahmad assad's troops arrived to hold the turkish advance. and then. we came here to tell some air to face the turkish attack against syria and to ensure the safety of families from the random turkish shelling. the development risks a direct confrontation between syrian and turkish forces meanwhile u.s. troops are continuing their withdrawal from northern syria president donald trump has said he'll keep quote a small footprint stationed in southern syria and threaten turkey with economic sanctions for its offensive against the cuts at the white house u.s. vice president mike pence who set to fly to ankara to negotiate a cease fire with turkish president read at a one set out the administration's agenda there if the president's objective here is very clear that the sanctions that were announced today will continue. and will worsen unless and until turkey. embraces an immediate cease fire

stops the violence and agrees to negotiate a long term settlement of the issues along the border between turkey and syria the european union. also condemned the operation the block agreed to limit sales of weapons to turkey but fell short of announcing sanctions. for many more so that the pup was formally it was not possible to have an embargo but all countries committed to no longer delivering omes to turkey and the pretty they. don't. don't ask me right now what is happening really on going contracts. to see differently it's up to each country to see what they do it's nevertheless a very strong decision. but in ankara president ed one vowed to press on. it over but we guard most of the threats and pressures we're determined

to continue the operation until the end and i'm stating clearly we will absolutely finish the job we started. as turkey continues its advance its civilians who are left to pay the price let's go straight now to d.w. corresponding julieann standing by for us she's an oxford kahlo that's on the turkish side of the border good day to you can you tell us what's happening right now behind you there are areas that we can see there on the syrian side of the border. i'm about 5 kilometers away from the syrian border which is 2 wood said on the other side you have the syrian town of tell of yet and reportedly it has been captured by the turkish military and its allies it was one of the main targets of this offensive but they're struggling to capture another crucial town called. we hear about fierce clashes still continuing over there and there is

a new front line now there in northeast syria off of the cottage that forces that have officially turned to the syrian regime for military assistance of bashar al assad has been sending units off troops to parts of northeast in syria yesterday for the 1st time in years because the cats that had officially trucked of damascus this rule in 20121 year after the war started and assad's forces had withdrawn from the area and now they're all returning and they're facing the terror forces that alone and new frontline and this is essentially a victory for bashar al assad and his most powerful ally russia because it means they're gaining a foothold in an area that was beyond their control for many years ok now to contain the situation where you are the united states has imposed sanctions vice president on his way to the region can this type of american pressure president. the troops. well it's definitely

a lot of pressure but president seems to be determined to go ahead with that they so peroration no matter what but it's safe to assume that any kind of sanctions there from the u.s. will further had an already weak turkish economy an economy that has not fully recovered yet from last year's currency crisis now trump raised to terrorism steel back up to 50 percent something he did last year already to press for the release of a u.s. pastor in detention here in turkey he also suspended talks on a tech u.s. trade deal worth $100000000000.00 u.s. dollars and he imposed sanctions on 3 turkish ministers now no immediate effect strong effect on the turkish lira it has a loss dramatically in value but to foreign investors might be scared off by the sanctions they might not one to invest their money here in turkey. where they can they expect any international help

from what we understand from over there it's extremely difficult right now for any kind of aid organizations and n.g.o.s to help the people there according to the united nations 160000 people had to escape they're fleeing deeper into kodesh controlled areas than in north in syria to what cities like iraq about the big question are there all the actually fleeing to what safety because the situation has changed now says troops all returning and for many people on the syrian side but refugees here on the turkish side as well this is an absolute nightmare. let's preview now some of the other stories making news around the world spanish riot police have used tear gas and rubber bullets against pro independence demonstrators in barcelona after a court imposed long prison sentences on catalan separatists leaders dozens were

injured in the clashes spain's supreme court convicted the 12 catalan politicians of illegally promoting independence. a large fires force an overcrowded camp for asylum seekers to be evacuated on the island of samas greece is not yet clear what started the blaze although it followed earlier clashes in that camp site houses thousands of people despite being built for just a few 100. or even ministers are gathering in luxembourg for the last preparatory meeting ahead of a crucial brecht's that summit in brussels on thursday the blocs chief bratton negotiator michel barnier say will update them on the state of brecht's said negotiations they said a divorce deal with the u.k. is still possible this week but that the british government must turn its proposals into binding legal texts.

let's get up to date now on breaks in with our correspondents banned in luxembourg and to get moss in london good morning to both of you a band even ministers are meeting where you are today a what's on their agenda. the brits had road show is stopping today in luxembourg commissioned on the year the chief negotiator made his way from brussels to luxembourg which is 250 kilometers away but the council traditionally sits in luxembourg in october so he came here to brief the $27.00 ministers taking stock of the negotiations which revery intends but have no results as of now and the finnish presidency told us everything is possible still a deal on the basis for all agreement no due to an extension of the the brics a talks and also stephen buckley the minister of britain for leaving the european union will come to luxembourg to talk to the ministers which is a kind of a surprising move we don't know exactly what he wants to achieve here because the

negotiations will then continue in brussels and buckley and then you have to go back to brussels and then the summit of the commence on thursday to take stock if a deal is possible not so a lot is happening now ok i better get to you in london and the e.u. is in case indicated ahead of thursday's summit that it wants more concessions from boris johnson what's been the response to that or your. well here in london people are asking themselves whether this meeting in brussels that band has described at the end of this week whether this is really going to be such a crunch meeting as everyone has always anticipated or whether the new proposals that the u.k. has put forward particularly regarding okinawa are just too complicated and too technical to negotiate them in such a short period of time so we know that the u.k. is supposed to leave by the end of. ok

we've lost the signal london let's go back to bound in luxembourg bad e.g. figures yet michel barnier is saying a break the deal is still possible this week what needs to happen to get to that place. but he said it's possible but he also said it's becoming more difficult because the negotiations a very complex the bridge poses very complex and the details. very difficult to understand it's all about the customs union or no customs you are than between northern island and island would that be a hot bod not the proposal so far did not convince michele dunne the so the british side table to a new proposal during the night which has to be examined now and this is going on as we speak and so it's not clear if there's enough time to finish this negotiation negotiations until the summit that commences on thursday and if that's not the case then the leaders will talk about an extension and on saturday in great britain the

parliament has to decide what will happen next and then those joins in the prime minister has to decide if he will file for an extensions or not so the drama will continue over the next days say to you and ok with an extension still possible bantering it in luxemburg big thanks to you in london as well. it's true to the nation our officials have confirmed a landslide election victory for saeed the 61 year old former law professor is now set to become the country's president votes from very closely watched it's only the 2nd democratic election since an uprising in the country have sparked the arab spring in 2010 so he'd thank the country's young people for turning a new page and vowed to build a new tunisia. joy explodes on the main boulevard in tunis proud of this still budding democracy thousands of sites supporters is

celebrating the men with a say can keep alive the spirits of the 20 levin revolution. had any young people showed they can use their vote to change the system several political parties give a lot of money to win this presidency but the people and the young ones who are part of the revolution in 2011 did it again a new revolution this time with a ballot. ok slate is a low profile conservative low professor he come pain for ready called decentralization and pledged to build a democracy that all tunisians including the youth can have a say in. yes because we will face up to all the challenges without blood sweat and that will power especially the economic and the social ones because the tunisian people expect solutions in this respect. but he will have to work with the parliament where no party has

a clear majority the supporters though are hopeful that the independent outsider can convince and succeed. let's talk about this morning news i ever have in the studio with me this morning good morning i see you again you know we're looking at some interesting polls that show 90 percent of 18 to 25 year olds voted for saeed what's his appeal with young voters i think it's because he's not a politician i think young people have had enough of traditional tunisian politicians and cases. is exactly the opposite of that he's a law professor people say that he's a newcomer to politics it's true that he's not a career politician but he's been on the scene for quite some time as a constitutional law and appears in the media quite regularly he was also involved in the drafting of the 2014 constitution he's also you know really portrayed himself as someone who's not seeking power we can see this in the way that he has run this campaign a very very spartan campaign if you will not

a lot of advertising hasn't relight so much on. external funding he notably did not do any campaigning in the 2nd phase of the election because his opponent was in prison and you know as a constitutional law professor he knew full well that you know should he win his up his opponent could appeal a thing that he wasn't able to campaign and as such he refrained from campaigning and still he won this landslide i think this anti-corruption spirit that he has really appeared appeals to young voters who've had enough of a politician you know and knowing the constitutional ins and outs as being one of the fathers. the 24000 constitution courses will help him with the divided parliament we're looking at right now no party has a majority can he get his goals his priorities through with a divided parliament well yes and no i mean we have to really understand the rule of the president in tunisia's governance the president unlike the president's role

before the arab spring he has limited powers his powers are limited to foreign policy and defense the parliament is really the one that has a lot of power to approve laws however the president does have sort of some influence to set the tone of the government most notably the last president was the one who proposed that tunisia consider and equal inheritance law he had no power to approve it but he could initiate it and then it would go into parliament so he saw for women and for men and women most notably and you know that was met with a lot of resistance but the president had the power to sort of initiate that debate so he does have power to initiate the debate but you know it is still limited but i think you know he is an independent and with this parliament really being uncharted territory for the arab world with so many independents maybe there this new spirit will inspire some sort of unprecedented cooperation this election has definitely been a surprise and so in many of those and that means maybe the government will be as well ok hopefully there's more pleasant surprises ahead we'll be following this

very closely thanks for that. voting is underway in mozambique where elections are being held today to choose a new president and a new parliament the polls being seen as a key test of the ceasefire signed in august between the government and opposition rebels incumbent president felipe you see is expected to win a 2nd term the party he leads. over through portuguese colonial rule 44 years ago is not lost the national vote since then but it will not be quite as easy for her limo this time around the w.'s adrian krishi explains why. their religious songs are usually giving things to go but in this campaign version the lyrics have been changed singing the praises of incumbent president felipe in new seat and his freely to the president as messiah. younger than most and you see. we're voting for president you see on the free my party for the

sake of continuity. you see kept his promise. he said every district should have a back and a hospital and that's exactly what he delivered. he makes everything better and going 2. they see the future we can see in many projects in was a big. present knows. the men we can issues he is a good president you see is presenting himself as a peacemaker and august he signed this story peace agreement with the former rebel group. that was already the 3rd peace agreement and once again it is a very fragile one our journey takes us to go on goes in central mozambique this area was devastated by 15 years of civil war which pitted the ruling socialist for a little party against the opposition mozambican national resistance or 3 novel party young people here especially hope that the old conflict over ideologies is

now coming to an end. if we have peace i will have a better chance to graduate because of the conflict i could not study the economy is down and there is no money. but it is going to get out of this is because i much as well the situation appears to be calm and peaceful right here there are still some tensions because not far from here up in the hills this is where some members of the armed opposition are hiding. this is the real normal stronghold of the parties and to some resistance fighters are refusing to accept the peace agreement and want to stop the election here it was clear to local politician and mr engineer no during the election campaign that the internal conflict could cost in our move oats but he is optimistic the party will unite and outrun the free more party i don't normally stop. taking it as a different number wins the elections we will change many things socially

economically in all of the areas that affect the mozambican people so that they can finally live freely and happily. leave he leave even more and be into debt more. inequality is a huge problem here how for almost a beacons live in poverty. the country is only slowly recovering from an economic crisis and president you see as government has recently been plagued by several corruption scandals. the election will be closed and for the 1st time in years and up the struggle for the ruling for the party. we have some football now and england's euro 2020 qualifying match against gary and sofia was overshadowed by racism from home fans as a result referee stopped play twice in the 1st half with warnings made over the stadium sound system england won that match 6 now the incident has again raised the

issue of how to deal with racism in football. warless i'm joined now by ed mccambridge from d.w. sports good to see you this match very disturbing what happened there how close was it to the match actually being called off or very close indeed away for actually announced going into this game that would be implementing its 3 points protocol for dealing with racist behavior of 3 strikes and you're out system across the course of the game now the 1st like actually came in early in the 1st half when the number of england players complained about racist behavior in the stands namely monkey chants and nazi salutes. so the stadium officials actually put out an announcement asking fans to cease this very concerning behavior they didn't which led to the 2nd strike just before half time when the england set up actually asked if they'd like to go back down the tunnel into the dressing room called out wait for the stadium

to call down they said no finish the half brother carry on with the game not let that put them off their stride had they complained again in the 2nd half it would have been strike 3 the game would have been abandoned now they didn't want to do that they they they wanted to rise above the races and they wanted to finish the match which they won 6 nil and gareth southgate the english england coach actually said after the game is very very proud of the way his players conduct themselves so let's have a listen to what he had to say about that now naturally because if they want to be recognized for their football and they want they were playing so well that they didn't want to leave the pitch moment as well and i'm sure that would have been part of their thinking so. i'm incredibly proud of all of the players and all the staff i don't think. course we could be criticised for not going far enough but i think we've made a huge statement and. frankly we were in an impossible situation to get it right to the satisfaction of everybody i think it was really fantastic decision for the

players to stay on the field or what about or garia what possible consequences do they face now well i think it. worth mentioning that actually for this game all garia had 5000 seats reduced inside their stadium capacity because of previous racist behavior against the czech republic and possible earlier in euro 2020 qualifying now the w. is actually spoken so you wait for this morning to ask if they'll be taking any action they said they're going to wait for the official referees report before they decide if they're going to do that. but as i just mentioned that 5000 seat reduced capacity that clearly didn't have the desired effect the races chants continued and i think people really want to see some actual action taken by your wife to stop this happening in future no 20000 euro fines and one match stadium ban they want to see real action they want to see her long stadium ban or if they don't get their act together they want to see a way for actually take all garia out of international competition might have an effect exactly and i think it's really worrying i mean we saw some comments from

the bo gary coach the final whistle going to hear those now and it just it just goes to show this to be a long time i think for all gary can get their act together. he should do of course this is an extremely important topic not only for boke area but for england and for all nations. like i am for a strong punishment is such a thing exists but it also has to be proved if it is not proved then it is just speculation. i mean that's quite a statement considering we actually have video of what happened in sound recordings as well. the bulgarian coach there also saying that this isn't limited to his country is that right well of course he is right but the timing is absolute awful as you say there is that video evidence i mean i don't i don't except for one moment a man is paid to analyze games for a living can see around what's happening in the stadium so that's nonsense but he is of course right gareth southgate the england coach actually said off to the game

as well or england play as a hardened to this sort behavior so it didn't put off stride it does still happen in english stadiums of course it's not what most affected her were is this really a plague is what we see we've seen a couple of issues with chelsea in the last year that is the set the england sense of full time abraham was actually abused by a portion of his own fans anonymously on social media which is a massive issue these days raheem sterling in place much as the city was racially abused last season both england players so it really is still right they may be few a nazi salutes inside english grounds but there are still monkey chants there are certainly still anonymous abuse on social media and mccambridge from did or said thanks so much for all the insights. just as your minder now of our top stories at this hour as all sides take up a strategic positions in northern syria u.s. president trump has called on turkey to observe a cease fire holds its offensive against kurdish forces that he's also ordered economic sanctions we put in place on ankara and european union ministers meeting

ahead of a summit later this week where bryson again the focus brussels says bret's a deal with the u.k. is still possible but that current proposals are not sufficient. as all we have time for i'm brian thomas for the entire team thanks for being.
