10:02 pm
of the united states is not helping things having poured its troops from the region earlier this month washington nel says it will send them back to syria to prevent so-called islamic state from capturing crucial or oil field in the east of the country. it isn't easy keeping up with america's position in syria after president trump emphatically said u.s. troops were coming home his statement seemed in downstairs reports came in that the white house had set out options for leaving u.s. forces in northeast syria the new order seemed to be modifying the objective of keeping isis extremists that day to include the safeguarding of the oil fields the region is in a state of flux off to trump declared he was withdrawing u.s. troops creating a vacuum on tuesday russia and turkey struck a deal on a 30 kilometer deep safe sane to enable the withdrawal of units from the area the oil fields which are of interest to the u.s.
10:03 pm
and in the east of the region at a nato press conference in brussels u.s. defense secretary mark try to give some clarity to the u.s. position where both objectives and the reversal of trumps earlier order of troop withdrawal set out. and its team so we are reinforcing that position it will include some mechanize forces again i'm not going to get into details but the mission in syria remains what their mission in syria began with it's always been about defeating the isis coalition. while russian forces step up that presence with turkey. drew attention to news that turkey had said it had recaptured some of the 100 isis militants believed to have a scaped from prison in syria as a result of the turkish incursion. i'm joined by our correspondent. in washington good evening to you pablo so why are we seeing this sudden shift in
10:04 pm
u.s. policy again i mean the u.s. is now the world's biggest energy exporter they don't really need oil from outside the country so why are they sending soldiers in to defend oil fields in syria. well it's certainly hard to keep up because it's he said it's yet another shift from the united states now the u.s. defense secretary mark asper said the u.s. mission in syria has always been to prevent the resurgence of the so-called islamic state and the reason for securing the oil fields is to prevent us from regaining access to syrian oil which we mustn't forget was a major source of revenue for the terror group but what we also can't forget is that president ordered the return of a 1000 u.s. troops who had been partnering with a syrian kurdish militia to fight the so-called islamic state that this latest decision to have the troops securing the oil fields would in some way sort of partially reverse the ongoing return or supposedly return which is what's being
10:05 pm
said here of u.s. troops from syria and also another question is we don't know how many troops we're talking about how many will actually be sent following this new announcement do you think. maybe this is the pentagon's way of drawing to correct what. was a mistake 2 weeks ago a mistake being the president's announcement that he was going to pull troops out of northern syria. well it can certainly be interpreted that way because of course like you said we can't forget that there was also a major backlash from both democrats and republicans over president trump's essential abandonment of the u.s. as kurdish allies now this shift in recent days from trump has been basically securing the oil fields well that's the message that he wants to get across but there are reports here in the u.s. to top military leaders had pushed for forces to be left in syria to basically fight yes or suppose that i asked resurgence and despite that the area of control
10:06 pm
that we're talking about in some ways being under the control of the united states and syrian kurdish forces and there's also a big concern here amongst many analysts and people within the military there are pockets of insurgents throughout the country so do we know what will the new deployment of u.s. forces in syria look like. well brant if you heard the well we're listening to the report there was quite interesting to hear the u.s. defense secretary mark asked for he said that the added force in syria would be mechanized and what does that mean it's probably means tanks and other combat vehicles and he didn't mention like i said before how many troops we're talking about here but what i'm reading from military analysts are saying that it could mean several 100 according to them but up until now there have essentially been special operations forces who haven't been equipped with tanks or armored vehicles
10:07 pm
bush like i said very little information and it's also very hard to really follow what exactly what decision the white house is making with regards to syria. on the public really on the story tonight in washington public thank you. ari from north to south america bolivia is a president if a miraculous has declared himself the winner of the presidential election official results give him a narrow 10 point lead which is necessary to win outright but his main rival carlos mesa has led days of protest and accuses moralities of quote monumental fraud both the united nations and the organization of american states have called for a runoff to establish the winner. they say they feel cheated of the election results and of their future in the capital passed on thursday night students clashed with armed forces for them a 4th term for president abel morale is is unimaginable. we want to move forward we

have 40 last season for all the season before that forget dortmund versus by dortmund and it's been this league is big grudge match it's cold in germany the mother of all dobby's and if it's a woman character you see a father is when he really can't afford to lose it and the pressure off the string of poor results and if the room is it to be believed then the special one himself jerry samaria is being lined up to replace him so there is a lot at stake in this one. this match is being billed as lucy in the far east date with destiny if some reports are to be believed that defeat against bitter rivals shall kill would spell the end of his reign is dormant coach is the writing on the wall. says not as his efforts darby is a very special game i have known that since the moment i arrived it's very important but there is pressure for every game and it's no different for shell shock kiddo's darby and it's very special.
10:24 pm
a special match but one with bad recent memories for dortmund fans afford to home defeat at the end of last season to their title chances but form and past study results will count for nothing according to the man preparing for his 1st row darby it doesn't automatically i don't think you can automatically draw any advantages or disadvantages not even from the latest results and especially not darby results for the business what happens in the days or weeks before it doesn't matter. it's completely irrelevant. just. and so it's all down to one game nothing less than local bragging rights are up for grabs and for some jobs are on the line too. so john what makes this fixture then so special well it's

rivalry that goes back to the 1925 but it wasn't really until the late sixty's when the button is legal was still quite new that the rivalry started heating up these 2 sides are very close geographically just 30 kilometers apart but it's a doubly kind of unlike a lot of others with a lot of dobbies a founded on kind of religious or political divides ice-t. south and they both have working class backgrounds they're very proud about that but that makes them very very passionate fans if you some of them it seems like sometimes you get the impression that they hate each other's team more than they actually love their. bad after the name of the opponents and again if you are some of them what would you rather do when the button is legal ties or when the dobby match then they would say. mazie got ok so it's understandable that the emotions are running high here though what does each side have to gain besides bragging rights well it is incredibly close to the top of the brain as they were the moments they were when could send either side in that shelter will probably be kicking themselves a bit already because they've had a couple of chances in recent weeks to go top already but if you're. new
