let's get the latest on this story now did you correspondent yury rich shadows standing by for us and moscow yury presidents putin and erica weiner are expected to address the media at any minute now and have we heard anything come out of this meeting at. well indeed it seems that the most important issues to me in today's talks in such a here in russia was through the turkish offensive into northern syria an offensive which has been widely condemned internationally including here in the russia as the russian foreign ministry is sad earlier today that the turkish military operation in north and syria was a violation of syria's territorial integrity president putin has been attempting obviously to cast himself as a mediator between the syrian government and turkey it seems that russia could help president i do and as president putin is arguably one of the best and closest allies to both of the syrian president assad and the turkish president and on the kremlin's spokesperson's meter pisk off today reaffirmed to moscow's hopes for

4:04 pm
to that suggestion is an internationally controlled security zone something that russia and turkey would welcome. or probably yes i think so at least in terms of the kremlin official line moscow has long made a big deal of wanting more international coordination in syria 1st with the americans and the russian minister of defense by the way often complained to that the u.s. didn't want any corporation now the democrats are gone from syria russians could have more coordination with turkish troops on the ground and some political called in addition with european partners especially with germany at the same time yuri syria's president bashar assad has been visiting soldiers and it led province today this is his 1st trip there since 2011 and it's obviously been timed to coincide with the one and putin's meeting what is assad want to achieve here.

4:12 pm
accelerated timetable for brags that he would seek a new general election johnson said britain could begin to heal and united parliament approves the deal he wants quick passage so britain can relieve the e.u. by october 31st. days and let's go right to london our correspondent there kate moss's following the latest for us there hi farragut i want to ask you about this what boris johnson a said today that he will withdraw his agreement and call for a general election if his timetable doesn't pass what more can you tell us about this. well listen when you mention it there is this deadline that boris johnson has set for the end of october see he wants to get all this legislation through he wants to make breaks it happen by the end of october and he's effectively trying to stay strong on parliament and to say if you don't play ball if you didn't accept that this is going to be very robust through parliament then i
4:13 pm
will basically try and do everything i can to make a general election happen he is hoping that this will go down well with the british voter because voters generally really have had enough of brecht's it and he wants to be seen as somebody who's doing everything to bring this to an end bring the fast chapter at least to an end withdrawal and then he what he wants is to to look good when this election will happen because nobody doubts that there is going to be an election at some point soon and boris johnson just wants to be seen as somebody who's doing everything he can to just get breck's it over the line as soon as possible and the opinion polls are very favorable for him he's leading he wants to have a majority here in the house of commons which he doesn't at the moment so this is why he is so eager to have this general election given all of that how likely is
4:14 pm
that timetable to pass the parliament. well if you look at how m.p.'s have behaved so far they have made sure they've made clear that they do want to have a say in the regs of protests process so i would actually be surprised if they just it here to the prime minister we've had in the city by many m.p.'s don't trust the government they are be moaning that this really complex legislation is being ross true they don't have enough time to even read through it let alone debate it and there is no economic impact analysis so they're saying you ask us to trust you when you don't even tell us what are the consequences of this breaks that that you are now envisaging so i would really be surprised if they go with the prime minister and agree to his timetable didn't he spoke about with the latest there in london thank you. now following several recent cases of racial abuse

in international soccer germany's largest jewish sports club is now calling for more to be done against anti-semitism the cots manager says team members are facing a clown part of society. in germany it's mostly opponents with muslim arab backgrounds who in the last 2 to 3 years really have been attacking us swearing about us calling us names. yulia bandana frankfurt university of applied sciences has researched the topic she says there's been an increase in anti semitism among various social groups i'm just calling for the soccer world to crack down on the problem. with us as if i think it's very important to send an absolutely clear signal in this respect even to the extent of canceling games as long as no action is taken it looks like things are not so bad as the soccer federation of the state has and has only registered 2 incidents of anti semitism in the last season but on my i believe that many cases go unreported he wants action.
4:16 pm
and his image different for we don't want information on anti-semitic incidents in schools to be properly gathered and for that to be an appropriate response but at the same time we need to build support structures for these associations and sports clubs through a commissioner of anti-semitism in sports. the soccer association is open to these ideas even though they say a lot is already being done to solve the problem instead of just using punishment it also teaches german jewish history. into already tackling this problem for now teach offenders about the history and the extent of the problem and frank educational center for example in order to in the light in them about the past. lucian that's very interesting. the mccarthy team has ended their game and they won $101.00 the campaign against anti semitism however will

4:18 pm
defense will have to develop without key man nicklaus who tore his group should ligament on saturday and could be out for the season. but it's going to focus on upkeep it's impossible to say exactly how long he'll be out of them and above all we need to make sure he has enough time especially as it's not the 1st time he's torn that ligament in his left knee. we won't force anything if he's better good if not it will give him all the time in the world to recover but it's a given this isn't it that leaves kovacs with just 16 outfield players who are match fit it's a skeleton squad for a team with brian's ambitions veteran jerome boateng could be back at the center of defense leon gorecki is finally back after a lengthy spell of injury. and intimidating atmosphere will await the german champions in greece though if by and play like they have in the buddha's legal lately n.p.r. course will present

disease where we saw doubling the study is the largest looking into neurodegenerative disease in any sport surveying thousands of men who played professionally in scotland between 190976 and while football poses a risk playing professional sport still has a positive impact overall. whilst they had a high risk of near gentle disease they had a lower risk of other common illnesses such as cut of oscar disease and cancer and so when you balance that together what we find is that up to 70 or footballer's had lower mortality we would expect from population control but once we get beyond the age of 70 the mortality increases dr stuart now plans further study hoping to conclusively prove exactly which aspects of the game up putting lives at risk. the 17th century dutch artist rembrandt is considered a master visual artist and certainly the most important in duchess 3 his spanish
