if you want. to cut through the noise to get to the truth. this is g.w. news live from turkey ignores u.s. sanctions and presses ahead with 37 of its offensive in northern syria but russia says syrian government troops. as they seek to contain the turkish assault also on the program a deal to stop the u.k. crushing. me in reach since the. talks are ongoing in

brussels plus another deadline. i'm from gail welcome to the program. it's national pressure is growing on turkey to halt its military action against kurdish militias in northeastern syria united states has announced economic sanctions and now our diplomatic sources say the u.n. security council will meet to discuss the issue for a 2nd time since incursion began almost a week ago meanwhile syrian government forces allied with russia have also moved into the border area and are now said to be in control of a wide area around the key town of man bitch these are some of isis pictures taken from the turkish side of the border looking across to syria where exchanges of fire continued today at least 160000 civilians are believed to have fled the fighting.

d.w. correspondent do you yohan is in sochi on the turkish side of the border while you're here 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 it's 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 his 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 how do they view turkey's actions.

well it depends of course where you go but this soap ration has broad public support across turkish society it's supported by most of the political parties so not just a president add 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 patrolling this operation as a security over ration trying to eliminate a terrorism threat to turkey's border and this is being akko di many people we've spoken to we talked to people in the city of or 5 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 a successful as a waltz 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 them we stand behind our president and i hope god will never take them from us. you know many people who feel differently don't dad criticism the tax government has clamped down on critical voices dozens of people have been detained in the past days over critical social media 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 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 are pulling out not because of the turkish military operation but because of the i said the government army at vons seeing that. sort of action on the turkish side of the border with syria thank you. just as a deal with the u.k.

is still possible in the coming hours could be decisive. updated a new ministers only state of negotiations today he told the meeting in luxembourg that he wants britain to turn its latest proposals into a legal agreement by the end of today this could then be given to a new leaders to sign off at a summit the begins on thursday. that isis from barbara in brussels welcome barbara this sounds like positive news you better bring us up to date. yeah i mean negotiators have been in this so-called tunnel that is they've been talking to each other without interference from the outside without information for the press at least in official information for the press in order to be able to really focus on the issue this has been going on since the weekend and then 1st everybody was very skeptical and then somehow the good news seemed to increase over time and now there is seems to be in optimism of course some people

here are warning everything we hear comes from in official remarks by diplomats behind the scenes and it really depends on the who you talk to how optimistic they really are now they have to midnight to sort of get some rough outline for a text ready because tomorrow it needs to be presented to the ambassadors of the 27 member states they need to sort of talk through this was their capitals then thursday which is really very close already the leaders will have to sort of bend over and say ok can we live with this or can't we it is a rough outline it is sort of like a preliminary agreement on the general idea that how directs the crisis could be solved for the interim phase for the phase directly after breakfast till the end of next year so it's not about the future it's not about everything this is just

a step we have to keep that in mind. with us we're going to take a quick look the biggest obstacle in the talks. between the u.k. and the you at the moment you don't know which is a border issue when driving between northern ireland and the republican violent unless you want to stop for gas on one side of the border you play in europe on the other in pounds everyone here is used to coming and going with east. but now bracks it is making things complicated. at the moment the u.k. entering northern ireland and the republic of ireland are 2 independent states but because they're both in the european union there are no border posts or controls if britain leaves the e.u. as planned the rules will change. an external border would be put up

between northern ireland and the republic of ireland and it would have to be secured after all the e.u. has strict rules on which products are allowed to be imported or export it and under which conditions the problem is no one wants a hot border between northern ireland and the republic of violent. border patrols and guard posts assembles of one of the darkest chapters in island history the northern ireland conflict the troubles and much more than 3500 people were killed starting in 1969. only with a 998 good friday agreement to the violence come to an end together with the e.u. support the deal paved the way to peace. many worry that the conflict may flare up again in the course of britain's exit from the e.u.

and several attacks in recent months suggest that this concern is not unfounded. but how can brax it take place while preventing a heart in an irish border at the same time a comprehensive customs and trade deal between the e.u. and britain would be one solution but this has yet to be agreed. that's why the e.u. has proposed a so-called backstop a kind of insurance that if needed guarantees they'll be no hard border on the island of ireland. the backstop stipulates that the whole of the u.k. would remain in the customs union with the e.u. following backset until a better solution is found which basically means that trade would remain as it is for the time being but with one key difference britain would have to abide by e.u. regulations even after bracks it yet would have no say in the rules after all the

country would no longer be in member. so it's no wonder that the backstop is so controversial in britain prime minister bars johnson sees this provision as unacceptable. and so the irish buddha question remains the greatest obstacle on a long road to brick set. so we're back to bob revival in brussels of barbara what are the options on the table to come to an agreement of border. now the option now seems to be from what we hear that britain is ready to go back to the original solution that had been proposed by the european union at the beginning of negotiations and that is to sort of keep northern ireland within european rules and regulations in order to avoid this border that we have seen should and could not really be there it's against the good friday agreement and it would threaten peace on the island so it's not going to be there for the british side that means they

have to sort of play a big game of pretend now boris johnson proposes to pretend northern ireland is going to leave the customs territory of the e.u. with britain they will leave but only in theory in practice in reality it will statins so trucks will continue to roll there will be no border ports posts in the the border between the european union and britain the u.k. territory will then run within virtually the irish sea and the controls will have to take place on the u.k. side in the harbors there so difficult it seems difficult to understand it's like mental gymnastics really and that is what that is what really britain seems to propose at the moment that is what the e.u. originally wanted now live we need to be know not to get too excited too quickly we're not there yet the text still needs to be written the devil's in the detail

here can't be said often enough and the e.u. 27 has to agree to this outline because there are many many legal things that have to be figured out it is going to take more time very likely there needs to be a technical extension so on thursday we may just see some sort of agreement but this is going to drag on for a while bob rivers who very brussels thank you. now take a look at some of the of a source making news around the world to police in germany not believe that a syrian man who rammed a stolen truck into several vehicles away for go did not have a terrorist motive 8 people were injured in the incident in the western german town of member investigation has now been transferred to local police. a large fast force evacuation of an overcrowded camp for asylum seekers on the greek island of some us are the cause of the blaze hasn't been determined but it follows earlier clashes besides reports of a house as thousands of people despite having passed just a few 100. they had

a bogus football federation has announced that he'll resign on friday. loves departure comes after both galleon fans targeted england players with racist abuse during monday night's euro 2020 qualifying match and saffir caught on camera making nazi salutes and directing the monkey chants at the england players and leading both gary's prime minister to demand a male officer resignation. that's it you're up to date have a good day. are all. of a long conflict in the philippines between the muslim and the christian population . of my instructors occupied the city center in 2017 president

church's response was from the cold. i. will never leave me cold.
