moscow's control russian military police made their way into the north syrian border town of kabbani on wednesday. u.s. troops had withdrawn from the region earlier abandoning their kurdish allies and making way for their nato partner turkey to lead a military incursion into the area. a move that faced harsh international criticism nato however has been reluctant to criticize the so efforts of their ally in brussels general secretary voiced concern and called for international effort there war has been there for years we have seen hundreds of thousands of people being killed at all so it is so there's a need for progress for for a political negotiated solution now russia which is not a member of nato has become turkey's closest ally in an attempt to implement a military solution as part of

a deal struck between the leaders of turkey and russia they seek to create a buffer zone in the formerly kurdish held border region and german tornado fighter jets could be part of a greater international effort to stabilize the area this is according to a recent plan by a german defense minister and it could come she wants to take berlin's commitment even further. or my suggestion is that we set up an internationally controlled security zone and valving turkey and russia. and a suggestion that took many by surprise back home in germany and brussels the proposal was met with interest by the nato chief i welcomed out nato allies proposals on how to move forward how to find a political solution and of course a political solution how to in one when all the in-wall all actors on the ground. but this proposal just might be too little too late russia one of the actors on the ground has made clear already that it rejects berlin's vision of

a security zone in northern syria. well could the german call for u.n. troops patrolling the so-called safe zone be an option let's talk now with mideast analyst marcus speckle for more on that turkey and russia are now in command of events on the ground in northern syria why would either of them allow international troops on to territory that they control they could allow it definitely say could because they would need partners to patrol an area which is 480 kilometers long 30 kilometers wide it's a big area where turks and russians alone might not have the possibility to control it all and one where important thing not to forget is syria with its troops once you go into this area in the area where the kurds why p.g.a. is they are enemies of syria and of turkey and to control this area to bring peace they might need more international troops than only to turkey and russia do you see

german troops heading into this system it would be a very big step for germany germany is in iraq as kurdistan with troops to help the kurdish authorities there but to send german troops into syria bring the debate into the german politics which has not been seen which would be a major step for germany to send actually troops into the middle east ok well the u.s. president has given his full support to this russian turkish deployment let's take a look to what he had to say. this was an outcome created by us the united states and nobody else by the moves that we've made we are achieving a much more peaceful and stable area between turkey and syria including a 20 mile wide safe zone. what do you make of this new positioning of the u.s. and what does it mean for washington's presence in the middle east well 1st of all claiming to have reached this agreement is

a joke trump week ago announced that american troops are not going to be in syria any longer so to claim that their agreement between russia and turkey is a u.s. agreement it's not worth the words he has said so the americans out of there the russians and the turks that's the new situation on the ground and this is what trump is trying to hide ok the americans are maintaining someone of a troop position though in syria where american troops redeploying to inside syria deploying to the north east of syria where a lot of the oil fields and they are there to protect the oil fields from being attacked by the islamic state again together with the kurds so you have a kurdish american small alliance still on the ground but the major trend is america is not only leaving syria but is giving up the middle east as the whole region and to russia as the new major power in the region ok the questions about russia also touch on nato as far as nato is concerned looking at

a completely new military realignment turkey and gaged in a sophisticated patrolling operation with russian troops now russia is of course nato arch rivals why nato was created in the 1st place what does this say about the coherence of the nato alliance right now nato is not as stable anymore as it was before and this turkish russian alliance which is forming right now has already given the signs of breaking down of turkey being reliable inside nato so this russian alignment with turkey might defeat turkey inside nato further this is not a sign of stability at the side of weakness for nato ok martin speckle mideast analyst for slate thanks very much for that marcus thank you. now turkey advanced into northern syria last week to eject a kurdish militia which considers to be

a terrorist organization in the process at least $160000.00 ethnic kurds civilians have been uprooted as the turkish army presses forward we have this report from a syrian town near the border with turkey. i. a few boxes and some clothes that is all they could rescue from the house and russell i know after days of bombing a classroom is the new home their old one is now just rubble schuchat in his family found shelter in this school with dozens of others mostly kurdish refugees from russia and the border town is now under the control of the turkish army and the allied militias. joe know what they leave our homeland and we will return to turkey and their allies have come to plunder they don't want to rebuild they want to destroy their years like these that feed those fears this video is alleged to show the militias allied to turkey showing off

a kurdish woman they've taken captive as if she were the spoils of war. one of many war crimes that the islamist fighters stand accused of there set to take control of the buffer zone between russell i'm and tower by yet under turkish surveillance. for the refugees from the region this is a terrifying prospect. of as i'm a lot of you know the forces intervene because there's no way we could continue living there so these armed groups are radical islamist fanatics and loyal only to turkey in the. north of here and the fear comes from experience islamist militias invaded our freend on turkey's behalf in march last year i cards with 3 they paid dearly for it after $58.00 days of bombing displacement and

death the new masters introduce sharia law in the northwestern province of syria human rights experts say tolerance and rights for minorities are being ignored is keeping a free. why to any fall in offering women cannot walk the streets without wearing islamic dress there is violence against religious minorities especially against the christian minorities who are mostly converts but also against the years ynys of the alawite. at least 17 years xeni and alawite towns have been destroyed to get the word and. many kurds are worried that history will repeat itself in comic protest against the deal between one and putin that they believe in dangerous them the town lies outside and so-called safe zone but here they fear for their rights and their future. as a preview now some of the stories making the news this hour in the u.s.

a group of republican lawmakers have disrupted a democrat run impeachment hearing into president trump $24.00 republicans entered the room where a closed door hearing was taking place they refused to leave calling for the inquiry to halt what they described as its unprecedented secrecy. supporters of bolivian president a former all us and his main rival carlos mesa have clashed in the city of santa cruz also as accuses opponent of trying to stage a coup. mesa's blippy this presidential election was undermined by a gigantic fraud. police in chile have use water cannon to disperse anti-government demonstrators after tens of thousands gathered in the capital santiago 6 days of protests rock to country 18 people have died promises of economic reform from president bin yet have not stopped the rest.

well police have raided 2 homes in northern ireland as part of their investigation into the deaths of $39.00 people found in a truck container on the outskirts of london that vehicle was discovered at an industrial park the driver who is from northern ireland has been arrested on suspicion of murder police say the container traveled to the u.k. from belgium. it's britain's largest murder investigation in years police are still trying to piece together what happened to the $39.00 bodies found in this truck. it's also a tragedy which has touched many in this community. completely and utterly shocked and devastated but that's actually happened here today especially in this area i mean my money my money was down the road my dad works down there so i you know i drive down all the time so that to happen is completely shocked detectives want to know the exact the truck took on its way to the industrial park on the outskirts of

east london. this footage shows the vehicle passing by 2 separate c.c.t.v. cameras shortly before the bodies were discovered. british police a facing and europe wide investigation it's known that the lorry are originated in both area and haas through the port of support in belgium the truck's driver was from northern ireland. forensic investigations along under way with victims still not identified late wednesday officers told the truck await. this matches attracted national and international interest and it's absolutely imperative that the operation is doubtful. that. the fair live. radio was employed there and mathematics he said it with their families for now there's still more questions than answers in this one case which of horrified many

britons. moss' following the story for us from along then good morning to you a truly harrowing discovery what we know about the victims and where the truck was originally travelling from. we don't know the details about any victims brian the speculation is that they were refugees that they traveled across europe in order to reach the u.k. the lorry itself was registered in bulgaria but we don't know if the victims spent any time in bulgaria what we also do know is exactly how they have died but their reports are that they traveled into a refrigerated unit so that would have been. able to go up to minus 25 degrees say the assumption is that they would really found this terrible death through through freezing really and i think it's

a story that really grips people across the u.k. as they're hearing more and more about it and bigger police have been conducting raids on locations associated with the truck driver what we know about that. as far as i know there is no official naming off the truck driver but it's been widely reported that he is more robinson from northern ireland police have been raiding houses in northern ireland according to his facebook profile it looks like he is a professional truck driver now we don't know yet whether he knew what he was carrying and since this story broke yesterday refugees who have successfully traveled to the u.k. have said have described their own journeys and how the truck drivers in some instances didn't know that they were carrying refugees but as you said of course a murder investigation is launched ok what about the other countries we understand

have been drawn into this probe that police are in touch with their colleagues and a number of other nations. well yes year in the u.k. the national crime agency is investigating whether that any links to any organized crime and we know that the belgian authorities olsson involved because after all. the container traveled via the belgian port of the broken into the u.k. . to give moss thanks so much for that from london and we'll have more details on that story as they come in. but are we edging closer to the era of super fast quantum computing according to google the answer is yes the internet giant says it has designed a machine that needs only 200 seconds to solve a problem that would take traditional supercomputers thousands of years to crack google's researchers say that within

a few short years quantum computing could revolutionize fields like artificial intelligence it may not loop like much more than a maze of interconnected wires chips and cooling roads but scientists here at google's lab in california see this is in fact a leap into the future this quantum computer called sycamore performed a task in seconds that even the most advanced computers would need centuries to complete. quantum computing gives us a chance to not only i've seen many practical use cases and helped make the world a better in a way that the cannot just with classical computers alone but it also allows us to help understand the universe in a deeper way closer to their weight actually works. though there were plenty of reasons to be cheerful ex-pat say that the promises of quantum computing such as revolutionizing medical science and vastly advanced artificial intelligence are

still many years away. they really promise you that there are going to be applications which are going to you know impact ordinary people in 5 years or 10 years it's exploration i view it as a frontier of science. nevertheless google views it as a win over its rival i.b.m. google says it would take a traditional supercomputer like i.b.m. summit 10000 years to complete the same task i.b.m. accuses its rival of raising public expectations too high but google c.e.o. maintains its quantum supremacy experiment is like the 1st rocket to leave earth's atmosphere an advance that made interplanetary travel at least theoretically possible. this is due to the news still to come on our program with the world penguin populations in decline for meet some of the people working to save the one

penguin species native to africa. but 1st spanish authorities are due to start removing the remains of francisco franco who ruled spain for almost 4 decades that until his death in 1975 his body is being removed from a shrine that critics say glorifies franco's victory in the spanish civil war instead of commemorating its victims their move all has sparked an emotional national debate we buried next to his wife this colossal mousa liam known as the valley of the fallen house the remains of spanish dictator francisco franco for more than 40 years. it is also the resting place of over $30000.00 people killed during the spanish civil war and was intended as a monument every conciliation but it is widely regarded as

a shrine for franco where his supporters came to pay their respects. spain's socialist government has wanted to put a stop to this pilgrimage for years. elite i don't know whether the dictator cannot be in a state tomb in the world's other great democracies that we measure ourselves against none of them has a dictator lying in a place where people can go to pay their respects that's just not done any more i would hasten to add that this should have happened sooner we are 40 years late we've got to be. quite in there and have kind of. after a long legal battle with franco's family the spanish supreme court greenlighted the exhumation last month. the decision has stirred controversy with spanish public opinion split on the rebel real of such a contentious figure. it's a necessity it's absolutely crazy that we keep

a minute paid for with public funds from the state budget and these costs have an impact on citizens. and we are absolutely scandalous that they're going to desecrate franco's tomb a leader like franco who is so loved by the people in the international community franco came to power in 1939 after emerging victorious in the spanish civil war during his author a tarion a rule which lasted almost 4 decades hundreds of thousands of political dissidents were executed imprisoned or went missing. this quite cemetery outside madrid is the new resting place for franco's remains authorities hope this more humble setting will put an end to the glorification of the dictator and finally bring justice to the victims of his dictatorship. the international judo federation has banned iran indefinitely until its athletes are allowed to face israelis in competition

a suspension had already been imposed on the iran federation last month the ban comes after saeed mole i was pressured by his country's judo officials to lose his world championship semi final bout rather than risk facing an israeli opponent while i walked off the iranian team in tokyo in august protest iran has $21.00 days to appeal the suspension. on football champions league action last night brasier dortmund travelled to italy for their clash on wednesday losing to either milan o's went ahead in the 22nd minute with a goal from the toro martinez who later missed the penalty but just before the final whistle teammate and tonio country of a made no mistake scoring to make it to nil and that means eternal on now have a slight advantage over dortmund in group bath. while just 100 years ago salt there were more than 2000000 penguins living along the southern shorelines of

namibia and south africa but now africa's penguin colonies are endangered with the populations decreasing rapidly our correspondent increase visited an organization keep dallas trying to put a stop to the alarming decline. one last chance to relax together before things starts to get uncomfortable. an appointment with dr roberts is not something these penguins seem to be looking forward to so at the moment put are doing is we just checking on the penguins and making sure that they're all ready for release so we each one has his own and we thought this is medical records this one he had known as well so he was 70 percent oiled and he was emaciated it was really on the way to the conservationists take in sea birds in peril and try to prepare them to be released back into the wilds thousands of injured animals come here every year some will stay here forever as they would not

so wife in their nature will have the tents. but these birds might not be here in the long. they are in danger of extinction it's quite possible that one can go extinct in the future and we've had a dramatic declines in train with numbers even between the council last year and this year the numbers of dropped by about 2000 breeding has so we have less than 20000 has that scared of. at least penguins 1st have to spend time in a small box but only briefly until they have fully recovered and are ready to return to the wire this. in simon's town one of the few remaining pigweed colonies they are released. oh.

it went really well. so quickly they didn't get confused the crowd was very polite and not too noisy so that didn't scare the penguins and they were they went straight out in the direction they should've gone. already we can see them i think there's one head sticking out over there so now the threats that they face of the same as all the other wild penguins people need to think about the impacts of what they're doing how they can affect the penguins but all of the sea life and other wildlife that is in danger from human interaction but still the message seems to have got through to the hundreds of people in the crowd over here we have a lot of folk a nice ations who are trying to save the oceans and animals and obviously the penguins were being the ability to get back in but there's a lot more we can do is you must do more to protect them because you see what is happening and see this is not only seen as it used to be this last problem however the biggest threats to the effort jumping green is the fish there are not enough and show and sardines in the oceans due to overfishing. in the worst case scenario

the last african penguin colony will die out in 20 or 30 years but people here definitely want to prevent that from happening. now those scientists in the us have been teaching rats to drive tiny cars thrones were given small plastic vehicles which they could drive towards a target where they were rewarded with a tasty treat the miniature motorists have a choice of left right forward. birds and the researchers found that they could navigate complex routes once more the road and some wheels turned out to be happier than their counterparts that had to navigate the rat race on foot. let's give you reminder now of our top stories this hour turkey's incursion into northern syria is expected to top the agenda of meeting of nato defense ministers today the move a strong condemnation from many you know allies who say could reverse gains made

against so-called islamic state. this is due to be a news live from berlin i'm brian thomas for the entire team thanks so much for being there.
