10:01 am
a short victory for the prime minister boris johnson as lawmakers initially back his brakes reject his move to track it through parliament just 8 days to the u.k. scheduled departure from the european union. plus how to spain's old cardigan for $300000.00 euros that's how much the item from kurt cobain's wardrobe is likely to cost at an upcoming auction and rock memorabilia in new york guaranteed to smells like teen spirit. 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 russia time out of one say they're adding another sick. days to
10:02 am
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 agreement follows a u.s. brokered truce which expired on tuesday the kremlin had predicted difficult talks perhaps that's why the greeting was particularly friendly we organize extra nice weather for years lattimer putin told his turkish counterpart russia type added on 6 and a half long hours of negotiations lay ahead mostly in private the biggest sticking point the extent of a proposed buffer zone and who controls it. in a very long and tends to scotians we have succeeded in finding a solution which in my opinion is very important and promising them in possible if there is a just a solution for the very complicated situation that the turkish syrian border cities could produce continued. under the deal russian military police and syrian troops
10:03 am
will ensure that syrian kurdish forces retreat 30 kilometers from the border during a cease fire russian and turkish troops will then jointly patrol a buffer zone 10 kilometers wide add one had demanded 35 kilometers how to joke like right now syrian refugees will move into the areas that are to be cleared of terrorists closer facts around 1000000 people you know. turkey and russia will be hoping for international help to resettle refugees but a german proposal to establish an international safe zone was not considered in the sochi talks. in new york do you need europeans for another unnecessary big player in a situation that's very difficult anyway and then you add in some strangers and you know i don't think russia wants there are fewer partners the better we wish the such e.t.l. will enhance putin's role in the region even add one had to accept that in the
10:04 am
search for a solution to the syria conflict there's no way around 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 have entered doing that at last 2 weeks which means 120 kilometers between 10 and the russell 8 which is an area that is not 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 there 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
10:05 am
the shop with ok see the syrian rebel you have the russian and turkish leaders meeting in salty and deciding all 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 idea although y p g the democratic forces that the party there or the militias there they have not 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 combine it so this means for them that they have to we align themselves with bashar assad and there are a lot of people in the region who opposed the syrian regime last week and they are in great danger and they are very much afraid off the secret services the security police officers 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 iraq
10:06 am
but still it's true. it's the end of the autonomy so this is the 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 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 would not be supported by any international actor but for
10:07 am
the rest of the syrians were inside turkey they would be reluctant to go back when they feel that the syrian regime has 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. a resurgence of islamic state how do you see this move that has just been agreed and impact in the region the problem is that isis has never been defeated it's still there underground 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 sea and regime takes over because they could use them you know to pressure the west was that you know we'll take care of your d. hardy's and you could please pay for our reconstruction or you could normalize relations with the muskets and if the turkish government takes care of these fighters they are not safe either because it was talking who let them through in
10:08 am
the 1st place you know there were hundreds of foreign fighters who came through took it with a 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 on this solution for the border area christine thank you very much for talking with us so as kristen the middle east analyst thank you. sketch of smaller stories making headlines around the world today the top u.s. diplomat in ukraine has testified that president donald trump held back military aid to kiev unless the country were to agree to investigate political rivals and alleged interference in the 26000 election while interest testimony could strengthen the case for impeachment proceedings against from. rioting and protests have continued for a 5th day in chile the government says 15 people have died in the bottom so far hoping to quell the unrest president sebastian pinera has announced new reforms including higher pensions and a guaranteed minimum wage. in hong kong
10:09 am
a suspect whose case led to mass protest over a controversial extradition bill has been released from prison china told a hong kong citizen is accused of murdering his girlfriend in taiwan last year. you're watching d.w. news still to come this man is considered to be one of germany's most extreme and influential far right politicians and he could be about to shake up the government of a german state that's holding an election this week at. the polls have opened in botswana most closely fought election in more than 5 decades or president in commerce has shaken up the country is traditionally calm politics by denouncing the party founded by his father and switching sides to join the opposition across africa botswana is widely regarded as a successful post colonial state but ahead of this election voters say there's
10:10 am
still more that needs to be done. the ruling votes why not democratic party or has won every election since boots won our gained independence in 1966. now there's a fighting chance that this could all change. more than 30 percent of the young population of the country are unemployed and especially in the rural areas and the village people are complaining that the government is not giving them enough attention you have to be civilized you don't have to stay in this. these. and. these small employment in these small shops. it's not true that everything's fine inequality is a huge problem suffering here. form of d.d.p. president is visiting the village of siege where people living here where strongly critical of him during his 10 year rule but now common has defected from the
10:11 am
governing party and has thrown his support behind the opposition religious are eager to hear what he has to say. he wants to destroy the way we do things here in botswana sisi wants to kill democracy and the rule of law. comma is referring to president must sisi the man he personally picked to be his successor 2 years ago shortly after taking over as the head of the b d p my c.c. declared he would overturn several of commerce mandates including a ban of hunting elephants and restrictive laws. put up with your own party or do you think this narrative of the role model nation is in danger of falling into that. trap that has affected many african nations in the past not so much today with that we still have some examples
10:12 am
in africa today where when people come into office they think it's all about themselves and not about the people that they are supposed to serve so i just felt that after 50 plus years of independence when we worked so hard to get their reputation unified to to where it is today that we now see ourselves rolling backwards and i'm not. home to 2000000 people. the country is often touted as an african success story things imparts to the diamond industry the ruling party's line was always that this hot and prosperity should spread beyond the countries in the. supporters of president who would continue on that course. the. 5. countries in the world. now.
10:13 am
in my lifetime in many people might. have seen with. health care changing it's an easy story to tell in the village of people who aren't convinced the diamond industry hasn't provided them enough workers they say the diamond mines won't last forever and they're hoping a change of government will also change the country's direction and more of the gemini will trickle down to them. their reporting on sunday a new parliament will be elected in the eastern german state of. right wing populist are expected to perform well building on their success in other state elections earlier this year. about 2000000 residents its economy is fairly strong and has experience continual growth in recent years unemployment is below the german average but. opinion polls suggest that the governing coalition of the left
10:14 am
party with the social democrats and the greens no longer enjoys majority support a government faces a strong challenge now from the far right a.f.d. and its outspoken state party leader. to some he's the great white hope. to others he's like a red rag to a blow. the own hookah this eastern german town of long and sense is divided over the man who wants to push the far right populist the 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 if they 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
10:15 am
memorial in berlin that pays tribute to the 6000000 jews murdered by the nazis. the germans people that is the only people in the world to plant a monument of shame in the heart of their capital to show. off. his language and that of other f d politicians and officials he is full of a cabaret that's very very similar to that of the nazis thus. the confusingly similar in some for vixen. the former history teacher deliberately stirs up resentment of immigrants in this i'm far away deal except that thousands of their children experience school as a place of fear every day because margaret machos who bully and torture and beat them. creates. within the far right populist a.f.d. who leads the so-called flugel
10:16 am
a movement that the german office for the production of the constitution is 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 i'd say he has said things in the past that don't really fit in with the times things i'd say that word not thought through. document. well he needs to tone it down just before the election but emergencies right. away. but the pastor. is outraged by hookers 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
10:17 am
from different cultures or who perhaps think differently. ok yes the demonstrators. really don't know. but otherwise he's inclined to shy away from debate for the last few 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 entering if it does that would boost his efforts 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 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
10:18 am
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 so there and this the end of this year if he will once again decide new leadership we do expect strong sewing for b. unhooking who clearly is the extreme right wing of the far right if to the rise 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 work well after that attack in the holler on the synagogue there this anti-semitic attack. now mainstream politicians no longer style way from calling the a if d. the political arm of the far right here in germany if he is trying to take those
10:19 am
politicians to court over this very label but clearly the extreme right has found a political home these 2 certain degree with the f.t. party and the we don't actions we've seen in recent months were all in stronghold states for the f.t. so this is still not quite nationwide trend but alarm bells are ringing whether this could become mainstream particular with the if we're now also being looked at very closely for by the intelligence institutions and 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 all state parliaments the largest opposition party in federal parliament how hones d. 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
10:20 am
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 touring and we expect to see the left party do very well and i go america's party is 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 both at the regional and at the national level because i thank you very much our chief political editor may kill a couple of. now to the u.k. or prime minister boris johnson had his 1st brags at victory only to go on to yet another defeat to his victory was that lawmakers voted for his withdrawal deal with
10:21 am
the european union but then they voted against johnson's plan to rush the braggs a bill through parliament is so extremely unlikely that the u.k. can leave the e.u. has scheduled on october 31st order. this was the moment boris johnson had been waiting for. the eyes to the right 329 nose to the left 299 so the size of it the ayes have it speaker john bercow announcing that the u.k. parliament had in principle accepted mr johnson's new withdrew an agreement with the e.u. but minutes later this happened. the guys to the right $380.00 s. the news to the left $322.00 so the neighbors have it the neighbors have a parliament wasn't in any rush and rejected the prime minister's plan to debate the bill over only
10:22 am
a few days work with us all of us i agree i raised of all timetables and i suspect this house will vote to the bright scrutinize and i hope amend the details of this bill that would be the sensible way forward that she offered the prime minister wasn't convinced tonight so i must express my disappointment to the house has again. for delay rather than a trying to do so would have guaranteed that the u.k. would be in a position to leave the e.u. oktober the 31st we've a deal and we 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. 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 they reach
