and china looks behind the glamorous facades of fashion house of luxury behind the mirror starts november 5th on d w. this is coming to you live from berlin what will become of northern syria germany says it has a plan german defense minister calls for an internationally controlled securities are separating turkish and kurdish forces. in an exclusive interview that turkish

troops in syria can not stay there indefinitely also coming up demonstrators in chile clash with security forces in the capital santiago after days of unrest over high living costs president and yet rose says the country is now after war with the protesters and kind of his prime minister wins a 2nd term just in producing liberal party edges ahead of the conservatives all short of the majority and it's set a minority government. flow i'm terry martin good to have you with us germany's defense minister has put forth a plan for the future of northern syria the plan calls for an internationally patrolled security zone in syria along the border with turkey similar to what turkey says it wants to achieve. with its own incursion but the difference is that

the zone that our cars proposing would be under international and not turkish control in an interview with an exclusive interview with articulate collin powell who's been seen as a possible successor to transfer uncle americal said she had discussed the idea with merkel and put it to germany's western allies here's part of what she had to say. my recommendation is that we establish an internationally controlled security zone in cooperation with taki and russia. and. this security czar in would seek to resume the fight against terror and against isis which currently has come to a standstill. moment to tighten with even the call is. it would also ensure that we stabilize the region so that rebuilding civilian life is once again possible. so that those who have fled can also return voluntarily. well let's bring in d.-w.

is chief political editor mckayla krisna who conducted that interview with the german defense minister good to see you mckay them so tell us more about on a plate what honestly come by or is hoping to achieve with this move well she's clearly trying to change the game the power game that's currently going on in northern syria the turkish president adeline is due to meet the russian president putin today and certainly they will be listening very closely to what essentially is a counter proposal to who will dominate and who will control northern syria it could potentially be the european stepping up to the brink no longer being on the sidelines the big question is how exactly this will look like in detail and whether the other allies she's due to meet at the end of this week at the nato defense ministers meeting will go for this proposal and the main core issue of course is will turkey eventually come around to wanting to be on board now that it's so close

to russia ok so would this internationally administered zone that the german defense minister is proposing would it involve both the european union and russia because it's hard to imagine russia not being part of that picture well i mean to come can go i says it would have to involve everybody there's no way around russia in that we've been in syria that can be no solution without russia also would have to involve the turks but what does that involve mean i asked quite clearly whether this could potentially mean also german troops on the ground and german military involvement and here's what she had to say in fog or. the question of how gemini handles this politically and more than anything what that means for our own forces is a question that must be decided by the bundestag was well presumably the german defense minister would not put forth such a proposal without assuming herself that german troops could be committed to that

but is it clear that the german parliament would support that absolute. not so we pretty much i pretty much got the standard german politicians on it's a parliamentary army any kind of move the german forces do outside of the needs a clear mandate from this talk and i'm going to come count own party i'm going to machall c.d.u. is currently in the so-called grand coalition with the social democrats already heard this morning a lot of skeptical voices here this is a puzzle that's been put on the table without consultation with the social democrats in fact she sat with them the evening before and clearly didn't mention this so i think we're headed for quite a heated debate here and she is putting the pressure on her colleagues there so 1st germany suspends weapons exports to turkey then merkel tells president want to hold a mil is military offensive in syria now the german defense minister is calling for an internationally controlled security zone in northeastern syria it sounds like

germany is becoming more assertive with its foreign policy while certainly germany's defense minister and this is an interesting aspect here looking ahead into what is essentially no longer such a stable government that is reassessing whether it actually wants to stay in this coalition just a couple of weeks from now and clearly she wasn't just speaking as a defense minister let's have a listen but she said. this is 1st of all a proposal that i'm making as party and as defense minister i notice a proposal that is supported by many defense and foreign policy experts in my party before going public with this recommendation i informed the chance that. this will definitely be discussed within the government but we can't simply talk about europe needing to be more than a bystander we must come up with our own proposals to catalyze discussion. must come up with their own proposals and this is quite

a significant international proposal and it's being put forth by the german defense minister not by chancellor merkel what do you make but 1st of all it's a paradigm shift in how germany perceives its own security policy and it is much more assertive than anything on the machall has put forward in her time as chance and in terms of defense and security in europe and beyond so this clearly is an attempt i think they've many see as a potential successor to under the machall an attempt to step out of machall sound oh and it will have a price to pay potentially both within her own party and the so-called grand coalition so she is getting ready to prove to everybody both her own party who's attacked her recently but also the public where she's suffering in the public opinion polls that she can do german chancellor is well what about reaction to this proposal mikaela have germany's european partners responded yet have we heard from

russia i think we will hear from russia during the course of the day as food she meets the turkish president added one from within the social democrats this very subdued kind of reaction from now it will be very interesting to see what the german foreign minister has to say who according to him if they come combo was informed through an s.m.s. text message so be very interested to see what quotes we get that are she political editor mckayla cook i thank you very much. and you can watch mikaela's full interview with the german defense minister here on news in about an hour and a half from now all that said $1045.00 u.t.c. . well kurdish forces are now leaving towns in northern syria apparently in line with the terms of a deal struck between the u.s. and turkey ankara is demanding that kurdish forces withdraw completely as part of turkey's plans to establish and control its own so-called safe zone in the region

well the u.s. and the kurds once fought together in northern syria of course now the kurds feel a deep sense of betrayal. kurdish resident abuse and potatoes out there one time. they say they're being left for dead traffic. was brought to a standstill as u.s. troops past heading to iraq leaving betrayal in their weight. but. it was a different reception over the border armored vehicles bearing the stars and stripes have begun arriving they will be deployed to. the so-called islamic state but

claims that the u.s. have abandoned the cards to. get to go back to what our mission was our mission was to work with by with and through the defeat isis. we defeated the physical caliphate of the isis in march and but nowhere in there was that we would fight a long standing nato ally. in defense of the kurds to enable the establishment of an autonomous kurdish state. kurdish forces are on a race to get out of northern syria ahead of a ceasefire dateline ambulances and vans were seen leaving. by turkish troops. there president hinted at a continuation of the offensive once the truce ends on tuesday night. we have a trip to sochi russia on tuesday. in this meeting we will take up this process

with mr putin and after that god willing we will take the necessary steps. and further same's that moscow is looking to fill the void left by the us russian troops in another 2 city in times on sunday. so turkey's present one is due to meet his russian counterpart vladimir putin in the black sea resort of sochi later today and a lot hinges on that meeting russia is syria's main military backer and its troops are in the region that turkey has vowed to take or to help sort this out let's cross over to foreign policy expert mcalpin friesen he joins us from jerusalem good morning to you germany's defense minister has proposed an internationally controlled security zone in syria along the border with turkey is that something that russian turkey would welcome. i think russia and turkey have to 1st decide

who has the bigger dream coming true and who's in a spot that they didn't expect to be in and since they're in the new position there's a lot of detail to be working out the behind closed doors meeting is fascinating and to be in that meeting would be an amazing opportunity much like the phone call between era one and president trump which seems to have whatever the content was which is not known has turned the entire region on its head but now putin clearly is the strong man of the region are ones going to go head to head with him where he has to because he won't really back down to anybody and the 2 men have to really sit and go over what's available to them who's going to do what and who's. and bishan conflict if they don't help with the other guy talking about. the turkish the russian leaders they're meeting in tsotsi later today to discuss their plans for northern syria what are they hoping for what can they expect can we expect from

that meeting. we can expect really not to be given too much overt information and i think that what's going to happen is the the safe zone that everyone is so insistent upon his going to come in some form he's going to enlist putin because putin is the syria representative and syria of course has to be part of part of this mix all of the other interests the e ideas that are being put forward for instance the russians putin is talking about humanitarian concerns and stressing the fact that airline has a shaky record and anything that happens has to be. of that of the utmost with humanitarian concerns and that's something that's not usually associated with. putin so there's a lot of new territory to place here where does syrian president bashar al assad fit into all this what role if any will he have in the sochi talks today

will have whatever role putin wants him to have is going to be used who are window dressing he's going to be used to rubber stamp and show the syrians in line with what the russians are are offering to show that there's no daylight between the 2 policies and that what putin is saying is ok with the syrians so there's no reason not to go forward michel thank you very much for talking with us that was foreign policy analyst michael friesen talking to us from jerusalem. now to some of the other stories making news around the world today israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has failed to form a majority government plunging the country into political uncertainty he was repeatedly rebuffed after trying to establish an alliance with his rival benny gantz now guns will try to form a coalition but he could face an equally hard hats. british m.p.'s are set to
