halt the incursion. president donald trump's unexpected decision to withdraw troops came after a phone call of with turkish president i week ago after that the u.s. has imposed sanctions on turkey while the european union imposed a limited arms embargo. its all coffee's got through and we are watching the situation in turkey with concern i have repeatedly said this military action should be stopped we must return to negotiations just months before we remain concerned about the international situation if it was not truly schmidt. while people in manage remain on the alert residents from elsewhere in northern syria are getting out the u.n. says that 160000 people have already fled the fighting. our correspondent is on the turkish syrian border she's in the turkish town of

there in the syrian towns of wrestle ein and to tell of yet now all of this one week after turkey sausage its military operation in northeast syria ok now the americans have launched a diplomatic initiative u.s. vice president set to meet with the turkish president richard. is there a chance he could get air to want to back a cease fire and stop the fighting. well so far all threats all sanctions embargoes that were imposed didn't have much on a much of an effect on the turkish economy there or on that issue of the turkish government and we had present admin say that he's never ever going to accept any kind of ceasefire that he's determined to go a hat with this so peroration and i quote him here until the very end he says that turkey's borders need to be cleared of a terrorist because that forces that on the other side are considered as terrorist

by ankara linked to the p.k. k. that has waged a decades long insurgency here in turkey with many people thousands of people killed so if a tacky for this is a matter of national security and national survival it will take a lot you know to to make them stop to make them back down ok you know you what about the civilian population can you give us an idea about how it's coping with the turkish baths well there have been many dozens civilian casualties on both sides of the border of course over there in syria where the fighting continues according to the u.n. 160000 people had to escape the areas deeper into kurdish controlled territory there but of course the prospect of us its forces returning to these areas is a nightmare scenario for many people they're here on the turkish side as well we have at least 20 civilians who have been killed by reprisal attacks from the syrian side we've been driving along the border in the past days many border towns here on

the turkish side to have been evacuated people left because it's simply too dangerous for them they say. thanks very much for that update while kurdish communities in a number of countries have been protesting against turkey's offensive and against the u.s. . there are protests for example in nashville tennessee home to the largest kurdish population in the united states. the vast kurdish community in nashville is protesting president donald trump's decision to withdraw u.s. troops from northern syria. mr for amas is angry and sad his family lives on the turkish syrian border just in the morning i talk to my father's saw and his last word was do something and then the phone hangs up i don't know what happened to be honest with you so is he's alive all right now is he's alive or not i don't

know so you can feel like how devastated i am now that have rami is the organizer of the rally he's been living in the usa for 21 years and is an american citizen he also runs one of the communities biggest cultural centers we asked for and u.s. authorities to present the. senate congress over to our new united states to stop to stop the invasion of kurdistan and syria to see who stand beside the quarter's for the peace and to prevent any human through our crisis and that. 7 many of the demonstrations here were granted asylum in the us they may be up in arms about the president's decision but they also have a deep appreciation for the new home. the us has done a lot for the kurds the reason why i'm here today is because of the us i would rather not be anywhere else i was here i was a refugee night in 1907 i came here and we are you know america's number one ally

when i happy with is the station when i happy with him was the troops now the kurdish community in nashville is well organized about 15000 kurds have made the city their home the little kurdistan shopping center for science products from the kurds old homeland. the cultural center run by nav sat have rami is right next door. for of the 20 years he's been organizing youth groups and language courses as well as preparing daily prayers in a mosque. as a young boy have rami fled a rock with his family 1st to iran and later to the u.s. he's worried about those living in northern syria since u.s. troops started pulling out civilians have been subjected to daily attacks they are living under the fear. mentality point of you know what you think is a variation of what they will be we have all the while the new generation. of the

people they want to live with a piece. several 100 people come to the cultural centers most to worship where they pray for the safety of their friends and family. he demonstrates his continue to hope that president trump will send his troops back to nov and syria. let's preview down some of the other stories making the news at this hour democrats hoping to become the next american president of met for their 1st televised debate since the impeachment probe into donald trump was launched last month most criticize the president's approach to foreign policy and his recent decision to take troops out of northern syria president congress in spain thousands of cut along separatists have been protesting for a 2nd day running they're angry about the long prison sentences handed down to 9

independence leaders protesters clashing with police outside spanish government buildings in barcelona while east of the city and out on a demonstrators blocked roads and said far less. now could there be an 11th hour breck's a breakthrough british and e.u. negotiators have resumed marathon talks on a draft agreement the use chief negotiator michel barnier says a new tax must be on the table in the next few hours now that's the member states have a chance to consider it before a crucial e.u. summit begins tomorrow it's the last major round table before the u.k. scheduled departure date october 31st you officials say london has made enough concessions to bring a long sought deal with in reach let's bring bring in brussels correspondent barbara vai's all good morning barbara what do we expect to happen this morning where you are. we can expect that we're not going to hear something for quite

a while yet because diplomats are extremely tightlipped after they broke up by suppose from sheer fatigue last night they're not taking up talks again in the commission building here behind me and the doors are closed and there is no communication so it's only via for instance the french finance minister who gave an interview this morning and he is said that we hear anything and he said that there is a glimmer of hope that this deal could be yet to get across the line is so we also have crossing our fingers together was the european governments who somehow want to get this done and want to get rid of the brics that question that has been really so bothers some and so so wearing throughout the last years and of course on the other side boris johnson still hopes he can make true his promise to leave the e.u. under any circumstances on october 31st bought there is a vote because even if the deal is agreed tomorrow there might be

a lot of technical detail that needs to be nailed down from the judicial juristic side and so that sort of means that it might go into a technical extension and sort of occupy is for some further weeks down the line up to christmas maybe barbara there's also some questions right now about the biggest obstacle the irish border what to do about that let's talk about that in a bit 1st look at what's at stake there at the moment you don't know which is a border issue when driving between northern ireland on the republican line and unless you want to stop for gas on one side of the border you pay 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 are symbols 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 bracks 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 brax it 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 put a question remains the greatest obstacle on a long road to backset are also looking like is there a plan emerging a workable plan to break the deadlock over the irish border. there is brian in fact a plan emerging and the question now is how to make it workable we might call it the fantastic fudge because of course that it entails some intellectual contortions

what is supposed to happen is that northern ireland will leave the european union together with great britain of course because it's part of it they will go and they will see a reticule the also leave the customs union how ever in practice in reality they will stay in the customs union they will continue to operate under e.u. rules so any controls that will have to take place in the future will therefore be either on the british side in the harbors or on the northern island side on their harbors but this needs to be nailed down legally because it is very complicated one question for instance is who controls the controller the does the e.u. have any leverage to towards written or against britain in case there are problems was this solution will control the speed be real will this be a back door into the e.u. single market will all sorts of illegal and counterfeit goods for instance could

come in all these questions need to resolve now under immense time pressure because there's just as you said a few hours left to sort of get this deal done in order for the 27 e.u. capitals to approve of it ok and we'll see if it is a fantastic fudge in the hours ahead barbara thanks very much for that this is news live from berlin still to go. why making music in mali has become so dangerous and why one performer is pursuing her passion nonetheless. but 1st pro-democracy lawmakers in hong kong have interrupted a major policy speech by the territory's leader kerry lam now she was forced out of the legislature as opponents heckled her and called on her to make meet the demands of hong kong's months long protest movement and a moment we'll be hearing from one of those opposition lawmakers who was in that

chamber 1st we have this look at exactly what unfolded. oh the yearly speech where home kong's leader outlines future policies for the territory was in peril before it even began. and the heck you continued in the chamber. why even call lawmakers please peace our land for you know anyone who does not say so and we will be asked to leave the chamber will you. laugh i would choose a president of like i will make his dear fellow citizens. pro democracy lawmakers projected the slogan 5 to moms not one less on the chamber's walls these include universal suffrage and an independent inquiry into

police violence during demonstrations. was. carried lamb did not address any of these demands at all on. the. interim assoc seems miss lamb abandoned the planned speech. she later gave her address via video link. dramatic moments there i'm joined now by tanya chan she's a legislative council are in hong kong and was one of the pro-democracy lawmakers disrupting kerry lamb speech thanks so much for joining us at. least with so much of here in hong kong for months now was your disruption inside the legislature the best way to get caroline to address your proposals for change in. well desist a 1st day and official start all for a new less school year and after all these longs our chief executive miscarry lem

still refused to positively unser all demands and today she was didn't deliver her policy address and without solving resolving the present situation i don't thing that anything can resolve or even make hold on to calls for wood and we have so many problems laying in front of her but she decided not to resolve all the steam alms to keep on going and to after looking at his policy address it's just otoh wants and without any innovative ideas so i really don't know how she can govern whole call and and at the same time this is day obligation and a duty all the legislator to bring the voices of hong kong people. i'd like to jump in there. like to jump in there john if i could i'm you're saying it's all about

resolving the current situation but the disruption in the legislature also meant that you were not able to formally withdraw the exhibition law which would send chinese citizens to the chinese mainland for trial that is the sticking point one of the main ones and that isn't that exactly what your constituents want you to do inside the legislature. i'm sure that this is a problem and should be soft well a month ago. before today and if mrs kerry land decided to withdraw the bill at the very beginning of this movement and i don't think it will keep on going for so long frankly speaking i think that the fullest eversmann cam and mrs kerry. to withdraw the feel of freshly instead of us ok do you think kerry should resign is that a good way forward. well absolutely absolutely i don't think she can still

govern how carl and and after all this months we can clearly see her incapability and so i think that for every 1st step for him to go forward to go forward it's her it's for her to resign as soon as possible ok briefly if you could just a few seconds to go on the u.s. congress has voted to impose for a bill of holding human rights in hong kong is that going to help you do you need more international help we just have is a few seconds. that's an early we need a lot international focus and we definitely need more help and least this is international standard and we want to up whole our human rights and freedoms in hong kong well tony john thank you so very much for being with us and all the best luck to you in doing just that thank you well violent conflict in mali between government forces and jihad is continues in that country and now musicians are being caught in the middle isn't
