8:10 pm
again turkey and iran will have more nurses on the ground watching for any cease fire violations and taking action and as necessary he knew these de completions rooms will be set up and in aleppo here in the taqiyya in that eye in the south of syria as well as in homs province these a areas again where the clashes between the syrian government and the rebels fiercest and where civilians have borne the brunt of this suffering that they have had to have to endure the u.n. envoy to syria stefan de mistura as well as the russian ambassador who is just optimism again and they said that if these swoops that this will be a big relief for the people of syria. percival in geneva we will be continued talking and not only talking but taking action on the humanitarian of victims which is a natural consequence of a difficult mission a more difficult mission
8:11 pm
a more humanitarian action. we consider the establishment of the deescalation zones to be a major milestone it has served as the light at the end of the tunnel for the syrian people and made them feel more secure if it gives hope for progress in the near future it's worth mentioning that the sticking with de confliction zooms on to a new idea they have been implemented by russia and the united states and by and large they have worked nevertheless it's important to bear in mind that there are sides that actions nusra front here in aleppo in egypt who will try to spoil and try to ruin the decomp fiction areas to cease fires as they have in the past so it will be important to watch for that. martin ga eleven on less believes the opposition groups leaving the deescalation cern's could still be a problem but we'll see what happens in the next few days are still quite
8:12 pm
a number of ambiguity is about the deal that. is the al-qaeda coalition if you like in italy problems which is part of a new sort of you know while some of the fiercest groups. outside of what we've been used to have with a sort of fighting with isis so i mean that's going to be a real issue they're not going to give up very easily but the f.s.a. soldiers which we've called rather kindly i think over the years are moderate rebels and not always ready moderate in all cases but a big question will will will hang over them in the world today to do they get some sort of a peace deal with they give up their arms and go back to the villages. in a clear defiance against spanish rule hundreds of cattle and officials have met to show their support for the upcoming independence referendum large crowds have also gathered outside the city council building in barcelona to voice their commitment to the cause the catalonian president praised the will of the people. not do not
8:13 pm

8:14 pm
posters last week the spanish constitutional court suspended legislation passed in the catholic parliament which allowed the vote to take place and on friday barcelona the region's capital was given just forty eight hours to sign an agreement guaranteeing the public money will not be spent on the referendum if it is madrid is threatening to seize control of a part of catalonia as budget. not a single year of the catalans will be directed toward him a legal referendum that is wanted by a few perhaps there's more than a few though as many as fifty percent of catalans are in favor of independence according to the latest polls one man we spoke to says madrid's treatment of catalonia shows democracy is not in good shape in spain. i think it's very sad it's more than just indignation to see the democratic generation of the spanish state and this feels bad this is what we regret most of all but that's all we are
8:15 pm
calm we have a lot of work to do in the municipalities and we'll continue working for the people that's what is important for us the majority of the members of the parliament of the catalonian parliament are in favor of the wind up and learns eighty percent of the cattle and six in shape is in favor of their referendum of several terminations to ask catalans if they want or not but the referendum by without despondence a state because that's what we want we don't do it unilaterally because we want to hide anything. they keep offering the spanish to state to negotiate and to be quite dissipated in this democratic exercise but it's up to them. the u.n. security council has denounced north korea's latest missile test i'll bring you the details off of the short break.

in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around. preparations from washington to washington media the media. and voters elected to business to run this country business equals. boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done for. the international community continues lee emphasize about once the iraq war united iraq as a slogan maybe an approach will be politicians but the reality on the ground in iraq is not what the record called united and to me as kurds are not the ones to be blamed for what is happening in the rest of iraq and the direct wrong directions that iraq has gone through.
8:17 pm

8:18 pm
were going to play things many people raised an issue that we have to think maybe out of the books it does seem the current sanctions and military drills a failing to bring about a positive breakthrough on the peninsula. this is the most stringent set of sanctions on any country and a generation. these sanctions will cut deep. in today's resolution builds on what were already the deepest cutting sanctions ever leveled against north korea those sanctions are nothing compared to what ultimately will have to happen.

8:21 pm
the following day relatives of the children staying at the camp and those supporting them gathered in front desk as town hall demanding to meet the man many of them accuse the man of corruption and ignoring safety regulations at the camp soon the demonstration was joined by various nationalist groups who attempted to storm the building police responded with take ass as they try to disperse the crowd . oh. oh oh. oh oh oh oh oh oh. oh. u.s. president donald trump's critics have been unrelenting since he took office and it seems now even some of his supporters aren't happy with his policies this is down to trump being unable to deliver on
8:22 pm
a key campaign promise including the border war with mexico on thursday trump tweeted that it is being built and that existing fences are being renovated but that's not enough for some. reports. to make america great again the slogan many trump supporters chose to stand behind wearing his signature maggot hats with pride. and now they're burning them let's work america great again we love truck we love true. violence several campaign promises leaves me no choice. so why are they angry well in their eyes trump has softened his top stance on immigration one of his key campaign promises he's now negotiating a deal with democrats to protect young undocumented migrants and there's no
8:23 pm
guarantee he's actually going to build his infamous border wall with mexico what building the wall what building the wall folks we're building we're going to build a wall and mexico is going to pay for the wall we're going to we'll see how it works. we're going to get the border security is part of that was to get what. trump bipartisan outreach seems to be the final straw for his most ardent supporters in return for this concession the president received nothing no end to chain migration the president isn't even getting a border wall so he insisted still somehow get one later possibly if we're not getting a wall i'd prefer president pence dw at this point who doesn't want trump and peached critics are viewing trump's attempts to term democrats as a transformation to a normal president. but this transformation might come across as confusing to both his supporters and his opponents donald trump supporters and i don't speak for all
8:24 pm
of them but. they expected donald trump to actually accomplish significant pieces of legislation and now here we are in the middle of september there's not a lot of concrete. show for donald trump's time in office he hasn't managed to get a lot of people confirmed in key positions so i think we have to view donald trump as a young presidency as a presidency where the people who elected him elected a disruptor people are growing frustrated among his supporters and obviously they're saving anger and resentment among his opponents i think it's high time to actually see our concrete bills that address the core structural problems inside our country which households address humans' address for some reason our washington d.c. crowd doesn't want to address that's what we want to see people are becoming impatient there's a lot of talk where's the action where are the results so the question is who will trump choose to please his base which carried him to the oval office or his critics
