talks with the u.s. vice president and u.s. secretary of state on thursday mike pence and mike pompei i want to secure a cease fire in northern syria but turkey's government says it won't agree to a ceasefire with the kurdish militia. the president has said repeatedly we as a country fighting terror will not sign a cease fire with a terrorist organization if. another country has long been pulling the strings in syria it's russia in the syrian city where u.s. troops had patrolled until tuesday russian military police and now one display moscow is a key ally of the assad regime and he's feeling the power vacuum it also wants to present itself as a mediator as russia's foreign minister is emphasizing. in

strict compliance with international law russia will 1st try to reach an agreement between damascus and the kurds in order to then bring about cooperation between syria and turkey so security can prevail on the border there's a plus in this to make something that's legal and it's a good at the. meanwhile assad's troops have entered the city of could bani on the syrian turkish border it's where kurdish and u.s. troops 1st defeated so-called islamic state militants 4 years ago residents are fearful of a turkish military attack but it may not come to that negotiations between damascus moscow and ankara said to be in full swing over the fate of the kurds and others who live in northern syria. we're joined now by d.w. correspondent all of us solace in washington d.c. all about how the u.s. house speaker bouncy pelosi says

a meeting with trump on syria was cut short today can you tell us more about what happened. 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 and nancy pelosi explained and reported that president trump seemed to have a meltdown that was shaken by a bipartisan vote earlier today in congress where both parties both democrats and republicans in a very rare move 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. on the part of the president was a melt down sad to say. a meltdown strong was from nancy pelosi now early on wednesday president 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 of betrayal of his wants 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 no unreliable partner. now the turkish president added if saying that he will never declare a cease fire will negotiate with fight 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 that will in their eyes. all right so they're on a very difficult mission there as you said president to long 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 mike pompeo 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
