this is news coming to you live from russia in turkey strike a deal on northern syria president putin and i want to agree to set up a so-called safe zone and extend a cease fire in the region he tells kurdish forces they have 6 days to leave the syrian borders are also coming up a short lived victory for british prime minister boris johnson as lawmakers
9:01 am
initially back his brags a deal then reject his move to pounce tracker through parliament just 8 days to the u.k. scheduled departure from the european union. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us russia and turkey say they have a plan for syria's future following talks in the black sea resort of sochi russian president vladimir putin and his turkish counterpart wretch of time out of one say they're adding another 6 days to a ceasefire that was due to expire on tuesday evening turkey wants to establish a buffer zone along its border with northern syria from which kurdish forces would be excluded. the kremlin had predicted long and difficult negotiations perhaps that's why the meeting was particularly friendly organized extra nice weather for you 6 and
9:02 am
a half long hours of negotiations between vladimir putin and russia to one mostly in private the hardest thing to decide was high big this so-called security zone should be and who controls it. in a very intense discussions we have succeeded in finding a solution which in my opinion is very important and promising. it is the solution for the very complicated situation that the turkish syrian border. the main outcome is that russian military police and syrian border guards are to work together during the cease fire to ensure that syrian kurdish forces retreats russian and turkish troops will take control of a buffer zone 10 kilometers. had demanded 35 kilometers. syrian refugees will move into the areas that are to be cleared of terrorists. facts around 1000000 people in. turkey and russia will be hoping for
9:03 am
international help in refugee resettlement but a german proposal to establish an international safe so in was not considered in the sort she talks. what do you need europeans for another unnecessary big player in a situation that's very difficult anyway and then you add in some strangers i don't think russia wants that the fewer partners the better. the sochi deal will enhance britain's role in the region even aired to one had to accept that in the search for a solution to the syria conflict there was no way of the russian president. well for some analysis now we're joined by kristin she's an author and middle east analyst good to have you with us the turkish and russian leaders have hatched a plan for what they think should become of northern syria what exactly have they agreed on they divided the border area the turks can stay in this region that they
9:04 am
have entered doing that about last 2 weeks which means 120 kilometers between 10 and the russell 8 which is an area that is not too much inhabited by kurds so this is why they can stay there and they could probably even realize they have plans to resettle some syrian refugees from turkey that all the rest to the west and to the east of this area will be handed over to the sea and regime of president bashar assad because putin the russian president will control it together with this patch rolls right at the border but all the rest of the north east will go back to the shop with ok see the syrian rebel you have the russian and turkish leaders meeting in salty and deciding on this area but what about the syrians themselves and the kurds of course who are affected do they not have any say in this matter. it depends who you ask we have not heard any official reactions from the coach for us live from the people id all the y.p. g the democratic forces that the party they're all the militias there they have not
9:05 am
reacted so far for them it's a big loss because they have to withdraw 30 kilometers 20 miles from the border region and this includes major kurdish cities like chemistry and co bonnet so this means for them that they have to we aligned themselves with bashar assad and there are a lot of people in the region who opposed the syrian regime during the last 2 years and they are in great danger and they're very much afraid off the secret services the security police coming back they will probably need to flee the region maybe to northern iraq and the kurds will say ok bashar assad is better than the turks here but still it's true. it's the end of the autonomy so this is big this is actually a big loss for them so there's still some uncertainty and insecurity in the region yet turkey is determined to send back hundreds of thousands of syrian refugees who are currently in turkey to repatriate them to northern syria to the so-called safe so how do you see that happening. this would be
9:06 am
a major demographic change in the border area and this would create a lot of social unrest obviously because you cannot you know. send other people away to resettle some syrians who are not originally from the region that's the basic problem they come from other regions inside syria and they will not be ready to go back when the syrian regime controls the area so had mr elder one got this little piece of land he can maybe bring some people there which is some kind of ethnic cleansing which will not be supported by any international actor but for the rest of the syrians were inside turkey they would be reluctant to go back when they feel that the syrian regime is any how close to this area ok when you look at the bigger picture in that region that very difficult part of the world we're talking of also about bias fighters still there's a concern about the resurgence of islamic state how do you see this move that has just been agreed an impact in the region the problem is that isis has never been
9:07 am
defeated it's still there on the ground it's using this kind of chaos to reform to reorganize themselves and the problem is that the foreign fighters within isis that are several 100 germans their friends their people from great britain they are not safe there once the syrian regime takes over because they could use them you know to pressure the west will say you know we'll take care of your jihadi s. and you could please pay for our reconstruction or you could normalize relations with them ask us and if the turkish government takes care of these fighters they are not safe either because it was turkey who let them through in the 1st place you know there were hundreds of foreign fighters who came through turkey to the caliphate so they are really not safe there as long as western countries take care of this region which is not materializing because basically russia and turkey already agreed on this solution for the border area christian thank you very much for talking with us i was christian the middle east analyst thank you. syrian kurds who have left the country are worried about what's happening in their

keeping a close eye on the news he said but also angry with the german government. germany's providing weapons for this war. and it just tears me apart inside. in the least. the german government has condemned the turkish offensive and his band new arms exports to turkey but berlin has not canceled existing weapons contracts. and the guns and germany is the world's 3rd largest arms exporter so we're selling weapons to dictators like air to one and we don't really care what happens with these weapons. arms exports are highly controversial in germany the kurds are strictly opposed to weapon sales to turkey and they take to the streets over it like. the demonstrators hard to man the economic sanctions
9:10 am
against ankara and a stop to the fighting and not in syria. the west has left the kurds to fend for themselves the kurds and are on their own. we're trying to apply a bit of political pressure including on the german government on the e.u. . you know once to demonstrate that the turkish attacks against the kurds in northern syria are not forgotten. they're watching the news still to come this man has been called germany's most radical politician and he could be about to shake up the government one german state as voters they're prepared to go to the polls this. sketch out on some international stories making headlines today the top u.s. diplomat in ukraine has testified that president donald trump held back military
9:11 am
aid to kiev unless the country agreed to investigate political rivals and alleged interference in the 2016 election william. hillary's testimony could strengthen the case for impeachment proceedings against trump. rioting and protests have continued for a 5th day in chile the government says 15 people have died in the violence so far hoping to quell the m rest presents a bust in piniella has announced new reforms including higher pensions and a guaranteed minimum wage. and in hong kong a suspect a suspect whose case led to mass protest over a controversial extradition bill has been released from prison. to hong kong citizen is accused of murdering his girlfriend in taiwan last year. in the united kingdom prime minister boris johnson had his 1st brags that victory only to go to yet another defeat is victory was that lawmakers voted for his
9:12 am
withdrawal deal with the european union but then they voted against johnson's plan to rush the braggs a bill through parliament prime minister has promised that the u.k. will leave the e.u.'s scheduled on october 31st order. 6 this was the moment boris johnson had been waiting for. the eyes to the right 329 notice to the left 299 so the eyes i mean the eyes have it on speaker john bercow and them saying that the u.k. parliament had in principle accepted mr johnson's new withdrawal agreement with the e.u. . minutes later this happened. the guys to the right $308.00 the news to the math $322.00 so the know whose have it the neighbors have it condiment wasn't in any rush and rejected the prime minister's plan to debate the bill over only
9:13 am
a few days' work with all of us i agree i resemble timetables and i suspect this house will vote to the bait scrutinised and i hope to mend the details of this bill that would be the sensible way forward that's often the prime minister wasn't convinced tonight so i must express my disappointment at the house has again. for delivery rather than a trying for a bill that would have been. guaranteed that the u.k. would be in a position to leave the e.u. along with a pretty because we say do you know mr johnson said he would cause the legislation and the e.u. members decided whether to grant the u.k. more time potentially until january 31st the e.u. council president has already said he would recommend the other member states give the u.k. the extension it has asked for. and only reach
9:14 am
a decision on what happens next is anyone's guess. on sunday a new parliament will be elected in the eastern german state of touring you know populists are expected to perform well building on their success and other state elections earlier this year has about 2000000 residents its economy is fairly strong but his experience continual growth in recent years and unemployment is below the german average but opinion polls suggest that the governing coalition of the left party with the social democrats in the greens no longer enjoys majority support that government faces a strong challenge from the far right a.f.p. and its outspoken state party leader. to some he's the great white hope. to others he's like a red rag to a boil. the own hookah this eastern german town of babylon and sansa is divided over the man who wants to push the far right populist a.f.d.
9:15 am
party even further to the right and who doesn't pull his punches when he criticizes government. i'm going to be ok if this big angular medical has rightly been referred to as the leader of a regime this lady together with all the representatives of the cartel parties in the government under state don't belong in the cabinet they belong in the dock their friends. statements like this are what makes her one of germany's most controversial politicians likes to provoke for example speaking of the holocaust memorial in berlin that pays tribute to the 6000000 jews murdered by the nazis you notice that germans are people that is the only people in the world to plant a monument of shame in the heart of the capital which. should offer. her. language and that of other d. politicians and officials he is full of a cabaret that's very very similar to that of the nazis thus. the confusingly
9:16 am
similar in that some forex in. the former history teacher deliberately stirs up resentment of immigrants and is i'm sorry when they deal except that thousands of their children experience school as a place of fear every day because migrants much ohs who bully and torture and beat them much create them. within the far right populist a.f.d. the so-called flugel a movement that the german office for the production of the constitution has classified as extremist he's comfortable marching alongside well known right wing militants. some people in the small eastern german town don't seem bothered that her openly racist. i mean. he has said things in the past that don't really fit in with the times things i did say that word not thought
9:17 am
through. well he needs to tone it down just before the election but in essence he's right. but the pastor. is raged i hope his rhetoric and it angers him that your own hook campaigns right in front of his church. why it is divisive his goal is not to create a peaceful society but one that marginalizes people that has no respect for people from different cultures or who perhaps think differently. ok yells at demonstrators. he didn't know. but otherwise he's inclined to shy away from debate for the last 2 weeks of the election campaign he has officially declined to give interviews he's also turned down our interview request because the f.t. could become the 2nd strongest party in 3 if it does that would boost his efforts
9:18 am
to consolidate his power within the party. let's bring in our chief political editor make it a good morning. tell us what's at stake in touring europe on sunday how important is this election well certainly for many it could become yet another manifestation that the far right party has yet another stronghold as it's expected to more than double its support in these elections and the current polls is that around 24 percent at the same time for the f.d.a. it might resolve a question to a certain degree whether it will take yet another turn to the right the lost power struggle in the f.t. was last autumn when the new didas it was elected. was the clear and this the end of this year if he will once again decide. we do expect strong sewing for b. unhooking who clearly is the extreme right wing of the far right if to the rise
9:19 am
of the far right if he in germany is a great concern to people both inside and outside of the country how extreme is this party with its leaders like your own look well 1 after that attack in the holler on the synagogue there this anti-semitic attack. now mainstream politicians no don't go away from calling the a if d. the political arm of the far right here in germany if d. is trying to take those politicians to court over this very label but clearly the extreme right has found a political home these 2 thirds agree with the f.t. party and the we don't actions we've seen in recent months were all in strongholds states for the f.t. so this is still not quite nation white trend but alarm bells are ringing whether
9:20 am
this could become mainstream particular with the if we're now also being looked at very closely for by the intelligence institutions seeing whether they are actually still in conformity with the german constitution we've seen the d. go from strength to strength in germany the represented in austria parliament the largest opposition party in federal parliament how home the become so strong so quickly and how are the other parties responding to this but i mean clearly they and this is easily provable what they were actually on their way out when the so-called migration crisis happened in 2015 they have largely remained single issue party and the issue of migration is an issue that still resonates with many germans now the interesting question is whether this will be enough to carry them further into the mainstream and this is by no means certain but they certainly change the the mathematical equation of how coalitions are done here in germany and the state of tilling and we expect to see the left party do very well and i got america's
9:21 am
party has ruled out going into coalition with both of them so simply getting political stability here in germany has become a lot more complicated through the f.t. both at the regional and at the national level because i thank you very much our chief political editor may kill are criminals. one of the worst offenders when it comes to managing plastic waste is indonesia with some $17000.00 islands indonesia has a lot of coastline which means that plastic ends up flowing out to sea and washing up on its big peaches. the ugly side of indonesia's tourist paradise. here in bali untreated waste most of it plastic piles up on the island's pristine beaches. the destruction of bali's natural beauty has been volunteers that trash talk to clean up the beaches but they're working against a top of ignorance. the ngos says many people are simply unaware of the
9:22 am
problem. the issue of littering hasn't been widely discussed so it was quite difficult for us to educate people and people assume that what we say isn't important they listen to is half heartedly especially at the beginning of the anti-plastic movement in bali around 2010 bodies and what it was we wanted to be combating the. trash talk organizes workshops and up performances in their campaign to change people's consumer habits. and having some success last year bali's local government issued a new law to restrict the use of disposable plastic shoppers now have to bring their own eco friendly bags to supermarkets for the most part the measures been accepted by customers and also the stores. that we've told suppliers about possible techniques and methods to handle products
9:23 am
without plastic. you know some of us use banana leaves to wrap items. are still having a hard time with some products especially old gani or hydroponic ones because we use plastic containers for these. but we'll try to use non-plastic options in the future but i don't get it that. trash talk admits there's still a long way to go but with support for their campaign now growing they heard bali's natural beauty will soon be bouncing back. a historical lighthouse in northwestern denmark has been put on wheels and moved inland to avoid the risk of falling into the north sea the 120 year old building used to be some 200 metres from the coast but erosion left it perilously close to the cliff edge the operation to shift the 1000 ton building went smoothly taking less than the 10

hours expect it. now here's one of the few artists where just looking at his brushstrokes will tell you this is a work by vincent van gogh the dutch painter is considered one of the most influential figures in the history of modern art and his wife's provenance sadly after his death and 8090 was largely the result of the enthusiastic reception of his work here in germany now a new exhibition at the stadol museum in frankfurt sheds new light on that relationship. is of a man who changed painting forever. i'm going to. glow brushstrokes the sculpt the style can be done. here you really have the feeling he was in the middle of painting and just left the
9:25 am
paint to stand and it produced such natural wonderful effects the processing tree the fruit trees here or the water in which all of this is reflected all this is made visible by a lot of individual brushstrokes it's as if we were there while he was painting it by. view of our own was painted in 889. works from all over the world have been gathered for the show at frankfurt's state of museum harvest and paul vance has just arrived from jerusalem. making vanguard a german love story is the name of the exhibition it was german our lovers who 1st started showing an interest in the artist after his death and $990.00 german artists took inspiration from bangkok after 1900. hour long comes of hanks who uses dark console's who does what max back when does
