bialik guest at frankfurt airport city managed by from. this is v.w. news live from berlin the us president brands his foreign policy in northern syria as successful trump takes credit for a turkish cease fire in the region even though and close offensive against the kurdish militias was only made possible with the withdrawal of u.s. forces also coming up. police find 39 bodies in a truck parked at an industrial site near london they move the vehicle to

a secure location so they can identify the victims. plus russia's manipulation of their athletes doping results the country's facing a long ban from international competition as a result of the top brass of russia's anti-doping agency tells someone else did it . i'm told me a lot of both thanks for joining us. u.s. president all trump is declaring his latest moves in syria a victory on wednesday the president announced that he would lift sanctions on turkey just 9 days after he imposed them in response to turkish forces entering northeastern syria the new direction from trump came hours after russia and turkey and now as they were establishing a safe zone along the syria turkey border marking the arrival of russia as the new

power in the region u.s. president donald trump is taking the credit for peace in syria this was an outcome created by us the united states and nobody else no other nation very simple turkey syria and all forms of the kurds have been fighting for centuries we have done them a great service and we've done a great job for all of them and now we're getting out a reference to u.s. troops being pulled out of northern syria the reality now is that russian forces are moving into the same kurdish territory that the u.s. has abandoned meanwhile there has been a say ssion of fighting. i think what we have seen over the last days is encouraging because it shows that it is possible to move towards a political settlement a political solution and what you have seen is at least some reduction some

significant reduction in violence and fighting russia and turkey want to establish a safe along the turkish syrian border of around 30 kilometers as and they say kurdish forces must leave turkey wants to resettle a 1000000 syrian refugees that are currently living in turkey. all of this means the kurds lose hard won territory but avoid a likely annihilation at the hands of the turkish military. together with turkish president richard tayyip erdogan the big winner here is applied in a putin was further cementing his pivotal role in the middle east. let's bring in our correspondent pablo fully in washington u.s. president donald trump describes the truce as a major breakthrough made possible by his policy in syria what's the reaction been to that. well the reaction within the republican party hasn't been we did hear from mitt romney now he's been

a vocal critic of president trump he's a republican senator from utah he criticized the announcement that democrats have been more vocal senate minority leader chuck schumer said it was a nonsensical foreign policy decision that was echoed by many democrats now what is notable is what we heard from republican senate majority leader mitch mcconnell on tuesday he told reporters that the u.s. should stop using sanctions for foreign policy so perhaps that's an indication of what kind of. foreign policy to the united states will look like in the coming at months now while trump was hailing the deal as a success jim jeffrey now he's the u.s. envoy for syria and the coalition against isis said that the united states believes to turkish supported opposition forces in syria have committed war crimes now jeffrey also confirmed the secretary of defense mark aspirate statement that more than $100.00 isis fighters had escaped and they said that they don't know where

they are as you can imagine that hasn't gone down well actual within the republican party or the democrats but trumps that really just trying to appeal to his support base at home isn't he. you're absolutely right now this is part of trump's election campaign and also his election promises now he said that he'd bring the troops home and he's claiming he's getting the u.s. out of endless wars now one thing to note is that the troops are actually that are supposedly coming home are actually being moved to iraq to fight against isis and so many factors are going to stay in syria trump ailed it as a big success and his critics are saying that in fact it just cements russia's role as a power broker in the region and also claims by president trump that the syrian kurds were happy with the u.s. withdrawal seems to be contradicted by images that we've seen in fact of kurds throwing even rock and vegetables at u.s. troops so you know like i said

a lot of criticism towards president trump on wednesday nato secretary general again stoltenberg said it was too early to judge the consequences of the deal struck between russia and the key which is a nato member over northern syria now did trump mention nato at all and do you have any message for his european allies what we've heard president trump saying time and time again that the european union and print several members of the e.u. need to do more now he said that they should take back at any of the isis fighters from their countries the fighters who were captured by u.s. forces and essentially put them on trial and jailed them in their home countries he said that europe has done very little and now it's their time to act so he sent out a very very clear message something that we've gotten used to hearing in recent weeks and months ok pablo foley and yes in washington thank you.
