lost the united states as their ally so they've turned to a syrian dictator bashar assad who is moving his troops north towards the turkish border now we have of the latest footage here turret taken from turkey looking across into syria where turkish shelling continued this morning at least 160000 civilians are believed to have fled the fighting in the border area they've headed deeper into syria but opposition to turkey's assault is growing u.s. president trump is imposing economic sanctions the pressure turkey to stop the offensive and he is sending vice president mike pence to ankara to try to broker a cease fire this is what pence had to say about washington's aims 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. let's go right to do that you correspondent yulia han she is not on the turkish side of the border for us hi yulia good to see you the u.s. is now imposing sanctions the vice president mike pence is now on his way to the region what can u.s. pressure actually do here. well there are no signs the president add on will back down and end this military operation despite the international criticism despite the u.s. sanctions even though these sanctions a might potentially hurt an already weak turkish economy an economy that hasn't yet recovered from last year's severe currency crisis now trump. raised steel terror of sedan back up to 50 per cent that's something he did last year already when he was pressing for the release of an american pastor from a turkish jail he also issued sanctions on 3 turkish ministers and he suspended

trade deal worth a $100000000000.00 u.s. dollars now this did not have an immediate addressing a fact on the turkish currency here but it might scale of more foreign investors really you are there on the turkish side of the border tell us what's been happening behind you on the syrian side of the border. well just earlier today we heard a fresh shelling and pounding very loudly so the turkish artillery is right behind me and they're hitting targets there in northeast syria i'm about 5 kilometers away from the border on the other side you have the syrian town of tell of yet it has been captured by the turkish military but apparently there is still fighting going on in the surroundings and that's one of the main targets the other main target is the city of arrests and i still there are heavy clashes going on there and we have a new front line there in northeast syria off of the kurdish forces have officially

turned to the syrian regime for how and bashar al assad has been sending units of troops to parts of northeastern syria for the 1st time in years because in 2012 the cuts trucked off to moscow's this rule and the syrian government forces were actually withdrawing now there are back there facing the turkish army along a new front line and this is essential a victory for bashar al assad and maybe more importantly for his backa russia because now they have a foothold in an area that was beyond their control for many years uli as all of the fighting has been going on you've had a chance to talk to some people there what have they been telling you. well public support for this a military offensive is brought across turkish societies across the turkish society not only prison edwin's a.k.p. is supporting this offensive but also other parties the only exception is the program opposition party h.t.t.p. the media reporting is also very much pro offensive very nationalist the media are

framing it as a security operation aimed at commenting a terrorism threat across the border we've been talking to people in the city of or near where i am let's listen to what they had to tell us. yes we support this operation we stand with our soldiers i hope turkey will be a successful as a waltz in the previous operation it will liberate these places i'm enable people to breathe freely. lives will be easier god willing the border area has always been dangerous because our country was invaded by the p.k. k. . think this operation is a great thing it's wonderful. terrorists will threaten us and drag our country into a war is. us get and we stand behind our president and our soldiers i hope god will never take them from us now those who feel differently don't dad to voice criticism

the turks government has clamped down on critical voices it has detained dozens of people for critical social media posts in the past days so right where we are here is very difficult to talk to people and understand their concerns because as i sat people are scared to voice criticisms or even the slightest concern about this military operation as yulia hung reporting for us on the turkish syrian border thank you lisa. now in spain the regional president of catalonia has vowed to continue defending his region's right to self-determination came toward denounce what he described as efforts to criminalize the independence movement after spain's supreme court convicted 12 catalan separatist leaders supporters of independence for the region have vowed to keep protesting in the coming days now that supreme court ruling sparked clashes between spanish riot police and pro independence demonstrators in barcelona. i am

a cease fire signed in august between the government and opposition rebels. is in mozambique's capital reporting on what is at stake. the queues have been long since morning here in with 13000000 registered voters are expected to cast their vote today in a very tight election because mozambique is still one of the poorest countries in the region almost every 2nd person he lives in poverty and therefore there are high expectations for the next government spending one because. i hope everything will get better. we need more schools they should invest more in education to reduce poverty. there is a lot of corruption and. i wish our country could be more developed. by these and while this in mind was a big is still recovering from 16 years of civil war

a fight between the socialists really more and the anti communist. there's been peace since 1902 but it's very fragile one just in august peace agreement was high and between both sides but this was already the 3rd peace agreement it once again it's a very fragile one because some of the rain still refusing to give away their weapons yet to the former rebel group is now the biggest opposition party and the biggest threat to president felipe when you see his party the free level has been running the country since independence and during the current term was plagued by several corruption scandals this is why many people expect a tight race and election observers have already expressed concerns whether this elections will really be free fair and peaceful because the tensions are already high especially in the north and in the center of the country there are now more has asked their supporters together at polling units to make sure there's no vote rigging but this was strongly opposed by the election commission because this is

what led to violence during the last elections. now famine and malnutrition remain serious issues in more than 50 countries according to the new global hunger index published today the number of malnourished people increased from 785000004 years ago to 820 $2000000.00 just last year now the situation in the central african republic and is seen as among the most alarming the lack of food is also critical in these countries here yemen chad but a gas car and zambia as well now climate change is one key factor in food shortages yields of the most important food crops like corn and wheat have been falling because of extreme weather conditions and when dealing water resources that is driving up the price of food and making it an affordable for some in ethiopia the somali region and the country's west has been suffering the effects of climate

extremes with several years of ongoing drought. it's been almost 6 months since it last rained in this village in ethiopia somali region with almost no vegetation to feed on the livestock is there in. cometh and her relatives have already lost 8 out of 10 towns. very difficult now because we pastoralist are dependent on our livestock goats and sheep started to die then the cattle. this feed came from the un's food and agriculture organization animal specialists are also carrying out emergency treatments and vaccinations to try and save at least some animals. during a drought animals become weaker and services that support some diseases that's why we have to treat them somehow we conquer anything for those animals that died but we hope the others will benefit from the feed and the medicine and will survive and

also produce more milk. from. the pastoralist communities in ethiopia somali region are dependent on their livestock for their food and income with few alternatives it's vital to save their animals says i think. the building is not too late you would see it only will be very enormous and have passed so it is their economy kind of no less expensive and more efficient to to to then to protect and save neighborhoods and before you know last took home with us 190000 animals will be treated during the super rich. thanks to the newly distributed feed families say their animals are looking stronger. i was one of the lucky ones to benefit from the program for cows or even producing milk again. given you know our cows milk had dried up but now we are able to get milk college children and the

cattle a much healthier way than the amount of. drinking water for people in the village is still stares and most quality river beds are almost entirely dry here in the somali region where pastoralist communities have been suffering for the past 5 years this year the main winning season from march to may has failed to bring the expected watching the growth the little that is left has now to be shared between the households. such as water for her 10 children 3 times a day she would normally need 20 jerry cans. they are the family now she made herself to just 10. this year we had less than 5 days of rain and there were only small showers so the grass didn't grow properly there is also a little ground water people in the community have spoken agreement to manage the water that we have so that everybody got some. hopes are high for the small rainy season that usually comes between october and december but as the somali region of

ethiopia continues to be affected by and seasonal weather experts expect climate drop there too are seen in the long term. and for more on that story we have klaus fun cliff now with us he's the senior advisor for the world hunger index a joins us here in our studio klaus thank you for being with us we saw there in you what we saw there that the higher temperatures are a big issue here and there are driving some of the problems that we see in terms of hunger and malnutrition tell us how climate change is undermining food security across the globe. let me start a bit broader because you have always hunger in countries where 3 elements are the main forces one is good governance if there's no good governance the country can have the best weather and the harvest won't be good and the food for them will not come to the people so good governance is something which is very often neglected 2nd one is conflict if conflicts in countries future cannot be true that you

have and the 3rd one know coming in more and more climate change so we have to see that try triangle of a challenge than just coming to that last challenge because that is one that has emerged more and more recent years on the one hand you have this global food system that is a huge emitter you know it does create a large amount of emissions and yet you also have to produce enough food to feed people so you know how do you square that circle. you know as you said it's squaring the circle but what is tried is innovation so 1st of all to come with new seeds that you come with every culture that has less emissions that you have. drought resistant or flood resistant and cetera but that you also make the the farmers aware of what is possible to be doing so the that the emissions of the

agriculture with them selves but what you then have is that if agriculture has come from. good with climate change then. you know the normal vicious circle starts you have been the rain coming late too much rain than the harvest season to shorten the dry period starts earlier and farmers in some cases have to eat the seeds which than deprives them for the next season's war so. it's very hard for a country to get out of that vicious circle here by itself sometimes but again if you have a government that is interested in the in the benefit of the people and then you can do it otherwise you may need foreign foreign aid and. senior advisor for the world hunger index thank you for joining us thank you so. ok switching gears to

sports and in football england's euro 2020 qualifying match against ball garia in sofia was overshadowed by racism from home fans the referee had to stop play twice in the 1st half and there were warnings made over the stadium sound system england won 6 nil now the incident has again raised the issue of how to deal with racism in football a bog areas prime minister has asked the head of the country's football federation to resign. and we have ed mccambridge from good of you sports with us for more on this story hi ed this match was stopped twice how close did it come to be called off altogether oh very close indeed your way for actually announced going into this game that would be implementing a 3 point protocol for combating anticipated racism in this type a sickly a 3 strikes and you're out rule across the course of the game the 1st strike actually came into action early in the 1st half when

a number of england players approached the referee and complained about racist behavior happening in the stands namely monkey chants and nazi salutes. stadium officials then and now over the p.a. system and asked the fans to desist they said you have to stop this right now they didn't of course and the 2nd strike came into action the game was halted a 2nd so i'm late in the 1st half and the england players the england set up the coaches all the all the staff asked if they'd like to go back to the dressing room and basically wait it out let the stadium calm down and come back out once the racism from the stands had died down they said no they wanted to finish the half it was almost half time had the england players complained for a 3rd time the game would have been abandoned now they didn't want to do that they eventually won the game 6 nil so possibly the best response possible and it was actually really thrilled with the way his players reacted so let's hear what he had to say after the game now naturally because if they want to be recognized for their

football they want they were playing so well that they didn't want to be 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 stuff i don't think. of 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. and what are the consequences you know what could dog area face was actually worth mentioning that for this toy dog area were ordered to reduce their stadium capacity by 5000 seats jews so racist behavior in 2 previous euro 2020 qualifying games against the czech republic and kosovo now clearly that had no effect they were just as racist as they had been again against england and people are now looking for real punishment from your wife and no small fines no one match stadium bans they want to see real action and d.-w. actually spoke today to racism campaign group fair and what they've said is they

want gary if this continues to be taken out of the way for competitions don't give the fans anything to watch nevermind the races that i have also called for the head of the bulgarian f.a. to step down something which is also echoed today very interesting me by the prime minister of bulgaria he's not happy whatsoever and it's a very serious situation bulgaria and it's actually really sad it's been echoed in the comments made by the bulgaria coach after the final whistle so we're going to hear what he had to say at the end of the match now to. the speech are doing of course this is an extremely important topic not only football garia for england and for all nations. i am for a strong punishment if such a thing exists but it also has to be proved if it is not proved then it is just speculation. because it. an interesting take there he said it's not just limited to bulgaria is that true well of course he's right it's not

just limited to gary but it's ridiculous i think personally for him to come out and say you know it's just speculation has no idea i mean he was there at the game he's been in stadiums and off time in his life it was all picked up on cameras there was obviously racist behavior happening even his own fate was dealing with it inside the stadium so to say he didn't see it or whatever it is is a bit bizarre i think but of course there's racism in other countries there's still racism in england there might not be so many nazi salutes in the stands but there's a massive problem with anonymous social media racism going on many of the players in the england set up have been abused in the premier league as well in the past so this is a this is a worldwide problem it's not just bulgaria but it was a real shame for situation in the game last night just very quickly how much of a problem is that still in the premier league still a massive problem 2 of the england players for example are in the squad for a loss like tammy abraham and raheem sterling have both been involved in very high profile races and cases one on social media and one inside the stadium so it's

a problem that's not going away in english football either all right and they create mccambridge from davies for thank you so much for reporting for us there thank you. and let's get a reminder of our top stories here on day w. also as all sides take up strategic positions in northern syria u.s. president trump has called on turkey to observe a cease fire and halt its offensive against kurdish forces has also ordered economic sanctions to put pressure on congress. to our football show kickoff is coming up next stay tuned.
