a row to catalonia as president appeals for calm is independence of course as planned more demonstrations since friday. i knew he was in canada very warm welcome to the show the u.s. president donald trump is warning of the devastating sanctions against turkey if planned talks with turkish president. all successful the u.s. vice president mike pence and the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o all heading to turkey to try to persuade on korea to halt its incursion into northern syria the turkish assault against former u.s. allies the syrian kurds has also drawn in troops of syrian president bashar al

assad they have now entered the town of kabbani and also in control of the key town of man bitch much of the fighting so far has been sensitive around the border city . the turkish military has been carrying out its offensive for over a week its targets are kurdish militias in. a town on the syrian border. bombs are exploding in the city center the military has released images of soldiers . from the turkish border city of children but not even with a clear military disadvantage the kurdish militia has been able to keep the turkish offensive in check both the u.s. and e.u. countries have repeatedly called on turkish president. to halt the attacks. turkey's offensive has forced tens of thousands to flee the region. many have gone to iraq but everyone has rejected international demands for

a ceasefire. he's holding fast to his plan to free up a protection zone in northern syria. because. we can end this operation once we are in control of a 35 kilometer deep area of land reaching from the city of man bridge to iraq. no one can stop us before we have reached our goal. is the rooms u.s. president mike pence and secretary of state are set to meet with everyone and to discuss a ceasefire we're joined now by correspondent all of us in washington d.c. all about how the u.s. house speak about the pelosi says. on syria was cut short today can you tell us more about what happened. rides on the oh so there must have been bizarre moments here in the cabinet room of the white house where president trump and to the speaker of the house of the democratic led house of representatives nancy pelosi

met for the 1st time since the impeachment inquiry was launched then signals he then reportedly stormed out of the meeting room after president trump called her a 3rd rate politician later nancy pelosi explained and reported that president trump seemed to have a meltdown that will shaken by a bipartisan vote earlier today in congress where both parties both democrats and republicans in a very rare move called them president trump's decision to pull out all of north and syria and letting behind former allies the kurds in the fight against isis later nancy pelosi and senate minority leader chuck schumer talked about their meeting with president trump let's listen in what they had to say the safety of america the safety of the kurds are in the hands of one person president trump and the best way to pressure him is

a strong bipartisan resolution such as passed the house to undo the damage he has done you wouldn't let me say on the part of the president was a meltdown sad to say. a meltdown strong was from nancy pelosi now earlier on wednesday president trump claimed that turkey's incursion into syria actually has nothing to do with the u.s. and the full many u.s. allies the kurds on no angels how have comments like that been going down. rudd well those comments of course are considered deeply problematic and again not only within the democratic party but now also within the republican party and that really shows that something is unraveling in the republican party you see prominent figures that have backed president trump of the impeachment inquiry now really turning their back against the president and on the president criticizing him now

on a daily basis simply because many republicans believe that the decision to let the kurds behind they are exposing them to this turkish offensive is a betrayal betrayal of this one's partner for the united states in the fight against isis and that means a big damage of course for american foreign policy also internationally because mary many leaders worldwide do consider the united states under president trump now a reliable partner yet now the turkish president added one is saying that he will never declared a cease fire will negotiate with could this fight is and of course that's what u.s. vice president and secretary of state are hoping to persuade him to do in that meeting with him what chance do they have of making this meeting any any success at all in their eyes. all right so they're on a very difficult mission there as you said president already said there is not

going to be a cease fire but that's exactly what they were trying to achieve by the way in the 1st player to one didn't even want to meet with them 2 of the most high ranking officials their vice president like pencils well secretary of state might bump a you that meeting has not taken place yet it really seemed for some time like they were begging actually to get this meeting under way to show 2 of their republican critics that something is underway that they're trying to solve the situation but even in this very unlikely scenario that they would reach a cease fire deal or that would be willing to talk about cease fire then what has happened in the region in the last days and that is a dramatic shift in power here the russians have moved in iran is standing by to extend its impact this shift in power cannot be reversed that easily and that is all not in the american interest or the talents in washington thanks here analysis
