cliffhanger and prospect british prime minister boris johnson squares up to lawmakers threatening to call an election if they were jacked his high speed timetable. and canada's prime minister to come to power but who says his majority justin trudeau is now likely to govern in a left leaning told action that is set to elliott and the oil rich and their g. producing provinces. i'm sorry kelly walked to the program we began with a meeting that could decide the fate of syria's kurds turkish president recha type out of one has been holding talks with russian president vladimir putin in the black sea resort sea of. sochi excuse me topping their agenda is the future of

northern syria after with the ritual of us troops from the area turkey launched an offensive to clear the area of kurdish militias and carve out a so-called safe zone the kurds who were backed by the u.s. then turned to the army of syrian president bashar al assad and his main ally brushed off for health care to juan and putin's needing comes just hours before a u.s. brokered cease fire giving the kurds time to withdraw is due to expire in this area . joining me now is c.w. correspondent yury west shadow who has the view from moscow so what do we know so far about what they have been discussing yuri. well sarah russian president putin sat a high level of russia to a corporation should help find solutions for this complicated conflict in syria and that these stumbling block will certainly turkey's recent military operation in the north and syria against syrian kurdish fighters which was always has been widely

come down to internationally including here in russia the kurds have reached out to the syrian government and its main ally russia seeking any protection if the russian foreign ministry said in response to that that this military operation was a violation of serious territorial integrity so this was certainly the main topic on that agenda in russia in sochi however russia could be a mediator between turkish president and on and syrian president assad. spokesperson scott once again i refer referring to russia's hopes for direct turkish syrian talks in the future for the meantime your we have here in germany the defense minister and a great crime karam our telling d.w. that germany is proposed proposing its own version of this internationally controlled safe zone in northern syria let's take a closer look at germany's political response and then i want to get your reaction . the german proposal for an international military operation another in syria

a paradigm shift in german foreign policy 40 kates western partners have asked germany to take on more responsibility in defense operations with exercising restraint foreign minister who i call my ass was displeased at come come on by us solo effort group all for bush but there is a certain your tuition among our partners and this is indisputable due to the situation as described there's currently no discussion among our partners to establish an international protections are. a security zone another in syria seems self evident at 1st glance the border region between turkey and syria had previously been controlled. by the kurdish by p. g. but on october 9th turkish started a military offensive to oust the kurds from the region according to the german defense minister's proposal this area would be controlled and protected by un forces. this security zone would seek to

resume the fight against terror and against isis which is currently come to a standstill. is. there for it will also ensure that we stabilize the region so that rebuilding civilian life this once again possible and so that those who have fled can also return wouldn't errantly. experts on the region believe any proposal that helps protect the kurdish population is worth considering germany's opposition parties however criticize the minister's approach it raises more questions than answers was no plan b. could be every much more pressure on turkey is needed so that turkish troops are withdrawn a real strict arms embargo including on the weapons that have already been approved and massive economic pressure is also needed this. look particularly come come by our proposal could be discussed later this week at

a nato meeting but even if nato partners and russia agree to a safety zone implementation would be a difficult task. so yuri this proposal now from the german defense minister is it something that putin an heir to one could get behind. or sir we don't know exactly whether they have discussed it on not neither tooting or than i mentioned this german proposal particularly so far but i can imagine that at least a musket could be interested in it russian defense ministry has been demanding repeatedly more international called coordination in syria and cooperation 1st told me the american troops which russian as russian minister of defense often blamed on the north called the ration with russia at all now that the americans left syria russians could have more coordination with turkish troops forces on the ground and also some political coordination with the european partners especially with germany also russia itself constantly sets up

a new security zones but the problem is sarah that they haven't really worked and there that is a very sensual question what does the zones achieve but that's another question and yuri when the ceasefire expires tonight as it is scheduled to do so what happens next. well i mean while sad to watch there is you know its offensive against kurdish fighters in serious north or went by expires tonight because hundreds of them remain near the border despite the deals requirement for them to withdraw that's all we know at the moment you're ever set out in moscow thank you. let's get a quick check now some other stories making news around the world norwegian police have now arrested a man and a woman in connection with the theft of an ambulance that ran into several people in the capital oslo police opened fire to bring the vehicle to a halt and seized 2 guns and drugs no one was seriously injured. thousands have

approves his deal within days but many m.p.'s are concerned that they don't have enough time to properly consider the proposed legislation. that massive standing by in london so as we've heard to get 2 votes today on the withdrawal bill and then on the timetable for debate what are the chances that johnson can get these through. it's really too close to call the to make any really found prediction because prime minister burrows johnson doesn't have a majority here and paula meant however the assumption is that she might actually get the fast votes through the actual vote on the bill he might have to number spots than that he might not get his timetable his preferred timetable so he wants to get everything done and dusted by the end of october he said he'd rather die in the ditch and ask for an extension and he really is adamant that he wants to do

everything he can to make this happen and to rush this bill through but there's exactly what a lot of and p's don't want they say they haven't had enough time to read and let alone debate such a momentous piece of legislation that's going to define the future of the country for decades to come and simply are not willing to or a lot of them are not willing to give the prime minister whose wishes so they might possibly not vote for this timetable and there have been a lot of you know pretty dramatic proclamations on the part of john's and we have to say you know he's really come out hard against those lawmakers saying that hill abandon the braggs a bill if the opposition m.p.'s do not approve this timetable there just walk us through what that could mean now. but yes he has apparently threatened and that's what sources say that he's going to pull any legislation so if he doesn't get his will that there will basically be no business

and paul amend that by this you would force an election however this is not so easy because to actually get an election like he says he wants he needs to get the vote of the opposition parties and he called just announce an election so he needs to somehow also get the opposition to agree to that what's behind it basically he's trying to strong arm hot. and he she wants an election as quickly as possible he doesn't have a majority here so she is thinking that if he positions himself as the prime minister who's doing everything to make breaks that happen and as quickly as possible that the voters will all know that and that they will if this election eventually comes that they will vote for him because so many people just want to get bricks it over and done with that course johnson can then be the man to profit

from the sentiment and the public what is the sentiment in the public would you say right now i mean are there are there renewed calls for example for a new referendum are or people supporting his deal. well we've seen just on the weekend a large demonstration where the whole of the center of london was filled with demonstrators they came from all over the country and they were pushing for a 2nd referendum however there are also a lot of people who just don't want to hear anything more about bricks and they just can't stand even hear the word bricks it anymore they just want to have it finished however m.p.'s here in palm and a lot of them are arguing that even if boris johnson got his will and the treaty with the e.u. the deal was agreed by parliament that it wouldn't really be the end of breaks because the negotiations for the future would then only starts and that breaks it is going to be a very complex and

a long process no matter what so many m.p.'s here wants to make sure that they have as much a say on this process as possible and that for many of them would mean more time to get through the legislation because before they can vote for a deal or whether they decide to go for something else for possibly a 2nd referendum like you mentioned baerga mass in london thank you barry. canadian prime minister justin trudeau has won a 2nd term in office but just narrowly his liberal party lost its majority and will now have to lead a minority government the election has been described as the toughest test so far for trudeau is more. it was a close election but justin trudeau and his liberal party retains power to most of the canadians it is the greatest older of my life to serve you for these past 4 years then tonight you're sending us back to work for you.

alzheimer's disease was about 5 times higher than expected population through more sneering disease when it was run 4 times higher than to parkinson's 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 190-1976 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 disease and cancers and so when you balance that together what we find is that up to about age 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

champions league returns tonight with germany's by a new nick traveling to greece to play a limb. byron have been hit by injuries after a 22 draw at out spark in the bundestag last weekend but they seem to be more comfortable in the champions league this season tottenham 72 away in their last year p n match it's the only state that by and have looked themselves on this season. that she saw i have been in wonderful champions league form but in the buddha's league on the weekend a disappointing defensive display cost them 2 goals and ultimately 2 points but whatever this let's just i still think that our last game had nothing to do with us not wanting to defend or not being able to mention constantly we were just missing a bit of concentration right at the start and then at the end we're working on it and i think you can definitely see that we're developing absolute to the next the defense will have to develop without key man nicklaus who tore his troops should

ligament on saturday and could be out for the season. but it's going to focus and upkeep it's impossible to say exactly how long he'll be out. 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. and it's that we won't force anything if he's better good if not we'll give him all the time in the world to recover. this isn't good that leaves kovacs with just 16 outfield players. who a match free it's a skeleton squad for a team with buy ins ambitions veteran jerome boateng could be back at the center of defense leon gorecki is finally back off to 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 blues legal lately olympiacos will present a stiff challenge only another display of their charms champions league form is
