can you tell us about the role that these kurdish forces have played in the capture of al baghdadi. well everything i'm telling you know is according to the kurdish forces there in northeast syria the s.d.f. it hasn't been independently verified but they claim now that they have been crucial their intelligence work has been crucial in the success and for the success of the u.s. military raid on buck daddy's a compound they say they had an undercover agent who managed to get access to the place well but daddy was hiding there in the it live and this person or as said and this has been a widely cited detail now brought out about daddy's underwear to conduct a d.n.a. test ahead of the rate to make sure that the person in question really was. himself now the kurds are also saying they killed another high ranking i as militant

believed to be a right hand man of al baghdadi just hours after all but daddy him self was killed in a joint operation with the americans and an important note on the timing here as well the kurdish forces claim they have been working on the ground collecting intel jointly with the americans in the past 5 months so since may and they say now that since turkey launched its military operation earlier this month about 3 weeks ago the whole operation that got delayed. these are really stunning revelations that you're reporting on i wonder how does this fit in the importance of this key regional u.s. ally with the fact that they cut them loose the white house that is the moment the turkey declared war on them. well i guess that's the kurdish forces that are trying to show how important they have been in the past

years and still are in the battle against the so-called islamic state yes they they clearly said several times how big a bitrate they feel by donald trump's decision to withdraw the u.s. forces and thereby essentially giving green light to take his military operation the kurdish forces there in northeast syria and are under a lot of pressure they're outgunned outnumbered they are still committed to guarding camps and detention facilities where they how well they are holding about you know thousands of eyes fight his and their families but it remains to be seen how al baghdadi killing will affect the situation the cottage forces say they have stepped up security in these camps because they are fearing a riot for example all right so the kurds evidently of the kurds evidently they're wanting to salvage that all important bilateral relationship with the white house thank you so much julie hahn a reporting from istanbul we're going to stay in the region and go to iraq

next which is in the grip of deadly antigovernment protests to quell the unrest the army declared a curfew in the capital baghdad but demonstrators are defying the order and say they won't leave the streets until an emergency government is put in place they're calling for an end to corruption and inequality about $240.00 people have been killed since the protests started earlier this month. another day of protests in iraq thousands took to the streets of baghdad and other cities on monday angry about corruption and the lack of jobs and public services. and once again they were met with force. security forces fired tear gas at the crowds of people marching in defiance of a warning from prime minister. not to join the demonstrations on sunday he said anyone disrupting businesses or schools would be punished protesters tried to cross

the bridge leading to baghdad international zone which houses government buildings and foreign embassies. they're in a city where peaceful demonstrators are protests are peaceful and those rulers harm the iraqi people no salaries no appointments no lands their promises are lies and they're hitting us with tear gas bombs as if we were not iraqi my daddy and there are no job opportunities my son stay at home without a hope and that applies to all young people not only my sons this regime has been ruling us for 16 years but they offer us nothing where fed up with them. students in the southern iraqi city of nasiriyah also took to the streets despite the warning they are demanding changes to the country's constitution and election laws . there were similar scenes in the holy shiite city of not jobs as well authorities declared a curfew from midnight until 6 am state t.v. said it would be in effect until further notice. when

firefighters in california are battling 2 massive blazes extreme winds have been fanning the flames and a statewide emergency has been declared officials say the fire ripping through northern california's wine country has now doubled in size with nearly 2 $100000.00 people under evacuation orders and further south another wildfire is threatening homes in the los angeles area some of ellie's wealthiest residents including basketball star le bron james and even the terminator himself arnold schwarzenegger have been driven from their homes. and the 405 freeway in los angeles the latest front in the california wildfires early monday morning a new fire broke out here sweeping through the hills. thousands of people were forced to flee as the fire scorched the wealthy west side of the city authorities urged residents to heed the warnings and get out. if you're in the mandatory

evacuation zone and you're still there watching this you're an idiot get the hell out it's way too dangerous people that stay behind or just the danger in themselves and not helping the worst affected area is sonoma county in northern california 88000 homes here are in danger 4000 firefighters are battling to get the blaze under control but there is new hope after days of strong winds conditions have improved but today's focus continues to be perimeter control and structure protection especially during this 24 hour window of opportunity we currently have with favorable weather conditions but time is of the essence forecasters are warning that this is just a brief rest bite wins us it's a pick up and fan the flames once more. what we started to get ready for there was another red flag event all right now it looks like that's going to start sometime

midday tuesday and push us into wednesday morning so we've got a kind of a quiet 24 hour window right now and then we're going to go into another critical period tuesday night into wednesday it's now a race against time a battle against the blazes before that next critical period begins. the very latest now from jason the camperdown a reporter with n.b.c. news radio he's joining us from l.a. which is at the heart of this wildfire jason there are about 12 fires burning in the state are firefighters any closer to getting these blazes under control. not really unfortunately containment is something that's very hard to achieve especially with the winds being as strong as they have the past couple of days now today the winds are going to be a little bit slower than what they have been over the past week and but you're still going to get wind gusts of up to 20 to 25 miles per hour so firefighters are trying to get in there and give everything they got to their fire fight today the

fire in northern california and wine country sonoma county they're not expecting that to be contained in till 2 weeks from now it's up to us a little bit jason about the weather which is playing a really crucial factor. so right now like i said wind gusts are minimal 20 maybe 30 miles an hour in some of the mountain tops but later today in northern california about noon or so local time we're going to be getting a cold air coming from canada and the cold air is actually much faster than a warm wind would be because the cold air will pick up steam or pick up speed as it comes off of the mountain slopes and then gets down to sea level where most of these fires are burning so we could see wind gusts of up to 8090 sometimes 100 miles an hour later today and of course nobody is a spare a lot some homes there also in the area of a celebrities who have had to evacuate as well what more can you tell us about that

. and these homes are mentioned multimillion dollar homes you mentioned the bron james and arnold schwarzenegger they had to evacuate thank you tonight the of the wealth and the money that is just in that area and these are not like one in 2 bedroom type home these are 6 and 7 bedroom homes with vast landscapes and beautiful architecture and things like that down here near the getty center where the getty fire broke out yesterday as heat we've lost about 10 homes but firefighters are battling overnight right now using water dropping helicopters to try and save as many structures as possible do we know when all the authorities know how these fires started in the 1st place. so there are a couple of i don't want to call them rumors but there are a couple of speculations that p.g. and e. pacific gas and electric is responsible for their infrastructure is responsible for the fire up in sedona county the high winds may have knocked down

a power line and then those power lines may have ignited the vegetation underneath down here in southern california we do know that a tree branch broke off and hit our line but we're not exactly sure if that's the exact cause los angeles mayor eric garcetti did say yesterday that it was not started by a homeless encampment all right jason campbell i am reporting from los angeles on the wildfires thank you thank you. karen here our piece said he'd rather die in a ditch and then ask to delay brags that but british prime minister boris johnson has now agreed to a break that extension until january 31st he's also been trying to persuade parliament to agree to a snap election and december mr johnson lost that vote but undeterred today he will again try to convince opposition parties to support a general election is open to capitalize on public anger over bricks at. can you

that's the election by the end of this week this was the day boris johnson he broke his pledge to deliver bragg's it by the end of october my job is to get us out on october 31st and that is what will we are not committing to all of us leaving the european union. all that it was going to go you know if there's lots of it turns out there were more than a few obstacles on the road to breaks it and plenty of hostility outside and inside parliament. with a new parliament and new sooner had he agreed to delete of bragg's it then he was at the dispatch box pushing for a snap election process to get higher. by december 12th and then go to the people despite his pleas he couldn't muster anywhere near enough support

because the maturity require has not been reached for not have it for the opposition an election is a gamble he would rather not take. thank you mr speaker. the reason i am so cautious is quite simply i jus not trust the prime minister he said unconvinced and undetailed johnson says he'll make a fresh attend on tuesday. with the speaker of the house. any longer the country. millions of families and businesses cannot. for the future as night fail it was a future that looted likely to involve a ballot box with hints that smaller opposition parties may be ready to back johnson's call in just hours the united kingdom could well be in campaign mode no s. no bots. you're watching his every news coming up. the puppet show there's

inspiring kids to fight against part of plastic waste in indonesia for the nation's rivers are among the most polluted in the world. but 1st the world jewish congress has honored german chancellor angela merkel for her efforts to counter anti semitism in germany the president of the organization ronald as lauder presented america with the theodore hartsell prize at a ceremony in munich. praised americal as a ball worker against extremism hate and anti semitism at a time when germany is seeing a sharp rise in attacks on jewish people and institutions earlier this month a man killed 2 people while attempting to stage a mass shooting at a synagogue in eastern germany. do you ever use frank kaufman have the chance to talk to the president of the world jewish congress ronald as lot or he spoke to

him about anti-semitism in germany and why the world jewish congress has awarded americal the theodore hartsell prize why are you doing so what are your intentions virtual chancellor merkel has been wonderful to the jewish people in germany and she's always been strong supporter of the state of israel for that and she as we see in the theater her surprise which is the major prize. in the jewish world in the same time that w.j.c. has just presented a study in your study about the rise of anti-semitism again in germany yourself you are writing an op ed just recently pointing out the findings what's your explanation to them well there's 2 parts of this explanation 1st of all. there's always been anti-semitism in germany but between why do you have to.

945 to almost 1980 s. it was here. today a recent survey we found out really people's feelings 27 percent of people said they have strong anti-semitic feelings about the jewish people and it's a major surgery and. the question becomes what happened why there was there but why do people feel the way they do and that's one of the things we're talking about today what's the explanation may prefer you cite you you feel as sort of angsty as well again about the study about these findings literally how is this what is this doing to you 1st of all i think the reason has to do a lot with education. we are now 3 generations away from the holocaust

and too often young people and many many of the attacks many people who are young people. we never knew would happen during that time and i believe that the teaching in school. good is not strong enough to allow the children to really understand the house of what went on very briefly well to fail us on the government sites on the political in the political field and the elites in this country and you opinion well 1st of all in the political field i believe that anyone any party who is who shows anti-semitic feelings should not be in that party and i believe also there are some party small parties that are basically based on almost a neo nazi theory they should be not allowed and marches like we had from its endorsement although they did not wear the signs of nazi germany there was no doubt

with it where they were or in stadiums sports stadiums when a whole group of people stand up and give the hitler salute what does that say that's something the government has to handle. thank you very much dates miss a lot of for this interview footage over 10 years thank you thanks for thanks for coming. next there's a major problem piling up in indonesia and that is plastic waste at the moment the country is 2nd only to china when it comes to don't think plastic trash into the world's oceans it ends up in rivers as well 4 of in the news is rivers are among the 20 most polluted in the world many in the just don't understand how damaging plastic ways can be for their environment on our group or former is performers rather is trying to change that. with that situational indonesian puppet show but not quite the puppets used in this performance but made entirely

out of trash and the puppet tears at school children 11 year old yuan is one of them the show he and his friends are putting on is full of heroes and villains the baddie in this play plastic pollution writes. it is very helpful because it teaches us how we can reduce plastic waste at home and in the environment for. work the puppet tears of travel to the capital jakarta from their home on the island of lombok their performance is meant to encourage the young audience to take action and make personal changes to help limit the trail of trash . talk about the ticket the small items of trash can pile up and become a much bigger problem therefore we encourage people to resolve problems in their own homes one of the ways is by turning waste into puppets. indonesia has been

struggling to cope with the waste it produces much of which goes into landfill sites for the young pup it is there a treasure trove. they collect and sort through the waste in the neighborhood and then assemble and paint their puppets. put it on a piece of them looking for us at southwark pepper tear school this is fun and we hope this can benefit many people and have an impact on our environment and the world's environment when we do near. was. in a country with a strong tradition of puppet theater it's a unique and effective way to get their message across reduce your waste or try to recycle it in a creative way. next to see the horse show that takes horse power to

a whole new level and event in helsinki has shown its environmental connect credentials by generating all its energy from horsemen or. i think it's a question show in finland the horses do more than jump over obstacles they're responsible for powering the entire event from the school board to the lights inside the arena. and it comes not from the horse's mouth but rather it's behind all of them in your produce during the show is corrected up and turned into electricity all the people we kids hearing now doing that week they will use to get all the energy and the electronic music like power they will get the power from the whole events plus also pretty much the whole housing cario. finland with its 75000 horses is a 1st tile ground for the project the idea to get more from your manure started 5

years ago the waste is transported by a local energy company mixed with words and then burns to create energy was meant as a template for the future of iraq is comparable to say goodbye having roughly 1.5 look at the terms. of the 3 is. only 2 occurrences are needed to produce a more definitive that one single family homes been required to believe. there are more benefits to horse power it generates less carbon dioxide than other bio energy sources environmentally friendly excretion that proves the saying you should never look at gift horse in the mouth. this is the only news and these are a top stories. iraqi army has imposed a curfew to quell deadly protests gripping the capital baghdad anti-government demonstrators insist they won't leave the streets until an emergency administration is in place more than 230 people have been killed in protests against corruption
