a key factor driving the world food shortages. welcome to the program. international pressure is growing on turkey to halt its military action against kurdish militias in northeastern syria united states has announced economic sanctions aimed at pressuring turkey to halt its offensive and now diplomatic sources say the u.n. security council will meet to discuss the issue for a 2nd time since the these operations were launched almost 2 weeks ago meanwhile syrian government forces allied with russia have also moved into the border area and the now said to be in control of the key town of man bitch these are some of the latest pictures taken from the turkish side of the border looking across to syria where exchanges of fire continue today at least 160000 civilians are believed to have fled the fighting. d.w.

correspondent delia han is in suits on the turkish side of the border while you're so what's happening behind you there on the syrian side. well i'm actually very close to the syrian border the light said behind me and i'm not sure if you can see them this is north and syria and i'm about 5055 kilometers away from monday the area the north in syria which is one of the most hotly contested areas now after. forces have officially turned to the syrian regime and as russian ally for help there to fend off this turkish military assault now we hear that syrian government forces have taken control all of about 1000 square kilometers of area surrounding the town of monday which itself is controlled by the

kurdish forces the turkish your army has also send reinforcements there and russia as well has sent military units military police to control patrol the front line between the syrian army and the turkish army so very tense situation there a possible escalation and it seems as we speak the map of northern syria is being redrawn. the u.s. has announced sanctions against turkey to try to get it to stop this is this likely to have any effect. well so far prison at one seems to be undeterred by these u.s. sanctions although sanctions are never good news for an already weak turkish economy an economy that has not fully recovered yet from last year's currency crisis but the turkish lira has not reacted never negatively today it's actually gone slightly up but there might be long term consequences of course. how do people. at the border on the turkish side how do they view turkey's actions.

well it depends of course where you go but this soap aeration has broad public support across turkish society it's supported by most of the political parties so not just president ed ones ruling a.k.p. and the media reporting here has been very supportive very nationalist but that's also due to the fact that most of the media here are overwhelmingly pro government and they're portraying this operation as a security over ration trying to eliminate a terrorism threat to turkey's border and this is being acknowledged by many people we've spoken to we talked to people in the city of very close to where i am let's listen to what they have to say. we support this operation we stand with our soldiers i hope turkey will be as successful as it was in the previous operation it will liberate these places i'm unable 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 and . us get him we stand behind our president and the soldiers will never taken from us. you know many people who feel differently don't dad why is that criticism the text government has clamped down on critical voices dozens of people have been detained in the past days over critical social media posts for example and this is the atmosphere here right now you won't hear many critical voices because many people don't dare to speak out voice even the slightest concerns about this military operation and what do we know about civilians on the syrian side. well according to

the united nations more than 160000 people have fled the areas then north and syria they are moving deeper into kurdish controlled areas to what cities are like iraq about of course now with the troops advancing this is actually a nightmarish situation for many syrians that there are many syrians here on the turkish side of the border as well that we've talked to in the past days they're saying that this is an absolutely horrifying idea for them that said in his troops might be returning to these areas there in north and syria we also hear that aid organizations n.g.o.s all withdrawing all pulling out not because of the turkish military operation but because of the assad government army advancing their.

we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world police in russia have conducted nationwide raids on offices linked to opposition leader alexei in the valleys anti corruption foundation in september mr novelli helped organize mass protests in moscow ahead of local elections his foundation has since been declared a foreign agent making it subject to spot checks and increased bureaucratic scrutiny. a large fire has forced the evacuation of an overcrowded tech camp for asylum seekers on the greek island of samples the cause of the blaze hasn't been determined but it followed earlier clashes at the camp site are reportedly houses thousands of people despite having free passage of just a few 100. official preliminary results from 2 lizzie's presidential elections on sunday confirm a victory for case saeed the former mo professor ran as an independent counters and gained more than 72 percent of the vote will be the country's 2nd democratically

elected president crowds celebrated in the streets on sunday night after exit polls suggested that he was. head of bull garry's football federation has announced that he'll be design on friday what is love may have lost departure comes after bowl garion fans targeted england players with racist abuse during monday night's euro 2020 qualifying match in severe fans were caught on camera making nazi salutes and directing monkey chants at england players leading bogus prime ministers to demand mr me hey loves resignation despite the abuse in the 2 stoppages it caused england 16 no. not to meddle from d.w. sport can tell us will welcome a max so bold garia has got rid of its head of its football association what is your ups european football's governing body u.i. for doing well nothing as of yet they are still evaluating the referees match report that's being done by the disciplinary committee and you

a full in the past have issued fairly weak punishments and incidents like these in fact going into this match bulgaria already had received a punishment for previous racist behavior from fans and games against kosovo and the czech republic 5000 seats were basically not be able to be sold by vogue area didn't really impact them at all because the stadium was half empty and this is quite systematic with this is quite common for us as punishment to be in my opinion very very weak and not strong enough and as you said the prime minister boyko boras of aust the foot will association president gary a to resign he initially declined and now says he will resign on friday when the f.a.'s executive committee meets and vogue area and anti discrimination organizations across the board asking for tougher punishments for instance like these and we can hear from the english a phase chairman greg clarke. what

a disappointing no i mean it's probably one of the most appalling not so absurd in football game is full of decent people and decent football fans and a few people have embarrassed the country and i would not try to take the moral high ground because we're still fighting racism in our country but i do think you a for have to take time to collect all the facts and then decide how to act appropriately. so that's why i was in the match called off well it could have been very nearly was all gary obviously have previous when it comes to this sort of thing and the head of the match england had said they would walk off in the case of rice's behavior so you wait for introduced a 3 point protocol saying after 3 stoppages the match is cancelled and there was a 1st stoppage only in the 1st half a number of england players approached the referee after they heard chance and then the 2nd stoppage shortly before half time occurred and players were asked if they would like to temporarily go off the pitch they said no they wanted to finish the half at half time quite a few bulgarian fans were seen leaving the stadium and had england or the referee

stopped the match a 3rd time it would have been an automatic 3 nil result now as it was england won by a higher margin and the england coach was full of praise for the defiance showed by his players the bulgaria coach on the other hand we can hear from he sort of refused to concede that racism had taken place that image when he speaks of course this is an extremely important topic not only for poker area but for england and for all nations. like i am for strong punishments if such a thing exists but it also has to be proved if it is not proved then it is just speculation. so that's meryl and given that the coaches reluctance to see what was under his nose one has to ask how much of a problem racism in bulgaria and football that is and indeed in the sports the whole yeah i spoke to journalists who were at the game they very clearly heard the chants and saw the salutes a swastika as

a nazi paraphernalia quite common in bulgarian football and eastern european football as a whole but it isn't just a regional issue is a worldwide issue in fact in england itself english players have been abused in their own country on social media for instance very recently the bottom line is the have to be harsher punishments you wave it isn't doing enough it clearly isn't working and people are going to be eagerly awaiting what you waited does hear people calling for bulgaria's be kicked out of the qualification max medal from date of the sport thank you. the polls have closed in mozambique where people were casting their votes for a new president and parliament the vote is seen as an important test of a cease fire signed in august between the government and opposition rebels preliminary results are expected on wednesday the dublin correspondent abbie increased sent this report from the capital the puter. the queues have been long since morning. 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 here lives in poverty and therefore there are high expectations for the next government spared of course and of course. i hope everything will get better as. we need more schools they should invest more in education to reduce poverty. that. there is a lot of corruption and. i wish our country could be more developed. to mine was it because still recovering from 16 years of civil war a fight between the socialist truly more and the anti communist. there's been peace since 1992 but it's a very fragile one just in august peace agreement was high and between both sides but this was already the 3rd peace agreement at once again it's

a very fragile one because some of the right now more fighters are still refusing to give away their weapons yet the former rebel group is now the biggest opposition party and the biggest threat to president felipe when you see his party the free leader who 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. i drink krishna reporting from my puter now famine and mt nutrition remain serious issues in more than 50 countries the new global hunger index published today indicates the number of malnourished

difficult now because we pastoralist dependent on our livestock 1st out 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 the drought animals become weaker and services such as going to some diseases that's why we have to treat them somehow we can't do 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. rebuilding these mostly woods let alone will be very nervous and have passed so it is their economy kind of

you know less expensive and more efficient to to to then to protect themselves in neighborhoods and before you know last week talking with us 190000 animals will be treated during the super rich. thanks to the newly distributed feed families say their animals are looking stronger. was one of the lucky ones to benefit from the program her cows are 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 are much healthier. than the management. but drinking water is a people in the village is still scarce and most quality river beds are almost entirely dry here in the somali region where pastoralist communities have been suffering a lot for the past 5 years this year again the main winning season for march 2 men has failed to bring the expected watching the growth the little that is left to be

humpback whales are believe in whales they use a calm like structure and up a jaw to filter out the plankton. the footage is is rather groundbreaking servent how these animals are manipulating their prey. and preparing a prey for for capture so it is allowing us to gain new insights that we haven't really been able to do before. the research helps scientists to understand how humpback whales feed what they feed on and how their bodies change will grow. the whales way up to 40 tons during the summer feeding period thousands of humpback whales migrate to alaska here that eat up to $1.00 tons of plankton at a. then they had to hawaii for the winter breeding period. when the whales leave
