one army but the u.s. says i'm going to create another force to patrol and control and secure syria's border but turkey what does this mean turkey is not an enemy or syria turkey is not and i mean of to us turkey is a member of nato so it didn't make sense and i think turkey was quite right in percy being dished up as a direct threat to its national security. in light of recent events the u.s. state department issued a rather measured statement the department spokesperson said turkey should ensure its military operations were limited in time and scope after the turkish president earlier accused oh it's of providing military support to the kurds with washington first and foremost in the line of fire or the turkish president added one has come out with guns blazing and some pretty harsh rhetoric for the trump administration.

america do not encroach on our borders do not provoke us we will run out of patience i told brock obama the same unfortunately i don't get any response. those who see the backing of the us will not stand the turkish nation it is our national struggle is essentially turning on and has allies he's accused the west of providing weapons and ammunition to the kurdish militia he says that aside from five thousand trucks weapons and ammunition from some two thousand planes has been provided the turkish president also saying to quote that his allies are dishonest when they do not admit to the fact that they have been supplying weapons to terrorists and here of course he's referencing the kurdish militia known as the y p g france is calling for an urgent janetta nation security council meeting while at the same time germany has expressed that it is extremely concerned with these developments particularly saying that he and cultivated risks that could result

from this confrontation between turkey and the kurds is something that might mount at the same time we are hearing from the turkish foreign minister who says that anyone who does not support took his actions in the african region essentially is siding with the terrorists and will be dealt with accordingly so what we see is some pretty harsh rhetoric coming from ankara particularly towards its allies essentially saying that. when not said that they get involved in warning them that they could potentially take further action. turkey's military action against the kurds in syria triggered protests across europe people took to the streets in a number of capitals to denounce the incursion and to demand a deescalation of the crisis the following developments on the turkey syria border as they are all.

this week the two koreas agreed to march together under a single flag during the upcoming winter olympics in north will now send twenty two athletes to compete in three sports at the film chain games international olympic committee president thomas far praised the agreement calling it a milestone in a long journey the two koreas will also form a single team in women's hockey that will be the first time that's happened in the olympic history also they'll have a korean folk song as their common. officials in both countries will be meeting throughout the week to discuss peace efforts but the seeming rapprochement between the koreas hasn't convinced the u.s. president he said he's not sure talks can lead to anything meaningful also this week the u.s. and allies of the one nine hundred fifty s. korean war gathered in canada for separate talks on the current crisis they agreed that more pressure is the only solution. the pressure will continue or north korea

decides to to do nuclear and i think what you're cliquey be now is to send out a very clear message we want to intensify that pressure describe that include cutting off diplomatic ties or is north korea. we spoke to human rights lawyer erik serapion he says that washington fears dropping out of the spotlight in the korea crisis president trump somehow believes that this pressure approach is the this is something different than that has been applied before which it isn't and in reality he wants to pull back some of the thunder if you will back to washington because you have again the north and south talking i think the u.s. is a little jekyll and hyde with its policies because on one hand it wants to have a resolution wants to have de mille nuclearization wants to have peace and on the

other hand pumps up this rhetoric and so the motivations relate to finances they relate to geo political factors of the u.s. power in the region if you will and they relate to trying to ice out china and russia a little bit as a player in this as was evident in vancouver. more than thirty people are feared to being killed in an overnight siege in a major hotel in the capital kabul that's according to reports citing security officials authorities have put the death toll at nineteen including a high ranking afghan diplomat and fourteen foreign nationals most of them employees of a local airline all of the five attackers were killed the taliban claims it was behind the assault.

i think unfortunately the afghan security forces are just not. up to the standards or there's too much pressure on them and there's not much coordination between nato forces and the afghan police there are multiple threats and the taliban there's al qaeda there's ice is there's also has missed it which is also in the government so there are a number of opponents and i think there simply isn't the right intelligence to counter these kind of attacks because they're happening on the regular basis one day it's a civilian target one day it's a military target one commercial road more like today to counter terrorism in

afghanistan you need a regional approach and the regional approach means working with iran working with pakistan and working with russia in the central asian states at the moment the us is not really doing that they have their own strategy and it's not doesn't fit in with britain strategy. drug related crimes are becoming so bad on parts of the paris metro train drivers are reportedly refusing to stop at certain stations that's according to a union representing the metro bus network in the french capital to show the dubious he went underground to investigate. for most parisians the met true is a staple of life with its winding tunnels and lines that stretch across the city it's often the easiest way to get from a to b. but down in the underground the gritty underbelly of the capital is being exposed to drug related crime and violence has been a longstanding issue in paris as metro but now the unions representing the train

drivers say it's spiralling out of control dealers including those taking crack cocaine a new role godling doing. metro drivers is so fearful of attacks at some stations many are choosing to no longer stop there a survivor more force of a more quickly it's very dangerous and it's terrifying and it can range from a simple punch to people using nails knives. stations like marks door more and market a question year are especially troubled druggies has come here for their daily fix and gangs have taken over the problem is. the problem is very dangerous for both the metro workers and for the commuters is even more dangerous they are targets of fast i've seen more than one hundred attacks take place within minutes of arriving

if mark's dorm or metro station we witnessed what looks like a drug deal the man with his back to the camera has just arrived with the bag in hand he walked to the platform stopping and exchanging some packages with people and then he left with his bag empty this seems to be the new normal. there are lots of drug users and i think that with everything that's happening in the match though they should be doing something most of the time the drug users are aggressive and everyone is afraid for the security of. children. twenty twenty five. lived there we've we've we've heard of course. been attacked just one time because. we had in the middle of the night. smart for. playing with that problem was the precipice

of problem as the security robberies can happen sometimes it's maybe aggression physical aggression sometimes too why ceasar man attack another young man. as we traveled through some of the most dangerous stations we saw metro security and police trying to crack down on the problem they succeeded in moving the spunk but in reality all they've done is move the problem to another stop to another day show that deep in ski. paris. germany's social democrats have agreed on coalition talks with chancellor angela merkel the road to an agreement though doesn't look easy will explain why the. altie we have a great team but we need to strengthen before the freefall world cold and you're

better than a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that winning spirit to the r.c.c. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the basketball since my last will call him and that throws are as we've. thousand zero zero zero zero zero. right right right right left left left more or less ok stop that's really good.

welcome back in germany the s.p.d. party convention has voted in favor of launching coalition talks with angela merkel's party and even though the result is what the s.p.d. leader martin short had been campaigning for is that anything but an easy ride for him i think peter oliver explains. this was the result that martin schultz wanted it was the result he campaigned for but it was real hard stuff as the leader of the social democrats waited for this result to come in he was visibly nervous waiting for the well what was certainly not a foregone conclusion it ended up being three hundred sixty two votes in favor two hundred and seventy nine votes against joining the coalition with angola merkel so they are going to go forward with that but what schultz did lay out in a speech there to delegates and so board members before the vote it was really

a speech that was more pleading than it was inspirational he said there was only two options you either go into coalition with angela merkel we have fresh elections and it was very clear which one he preferred that you do you know you everyone should realize the question is coalition talks for you elections my take on this is very clear i don't think new elections are the right way for us. well it was a visibly relieved martin schulz that received those results he definitely doesn't want another election in the region for that is because of just how badly the last election went for the social democrats and there's no sign of that turning around any time soon last time around in september they lost forty seats in almost dipped below twenty percent of votes cast for representatives in the german parliament he's also going to have to of course though if he's going to form this coalition is going to have crossed some social democratic party red lines namely on quotas for

refugees that his party opposes also on social spending which he's party want to see increased and that's why this whole campaign to decide whether that the social democrats would go into coalition with angela merkel's conservatives has seen a vision so in well and truly within the social democratic ranks we saw a big. campaign launched by their youth wing saying that they didn't want to be part of government they wanted four years of opposition in order to try and get the party back to the roots where they believe it comes from so how will it look if this goes as it's been put forward on sunday evening well what it would mean is that the social democrats would no longer be the largest opposition party they would be part of the government again and that would mean that the main opposition party well that role would go to the alternative for germany the right leaning anti establishment party they would get that role it would be you ground for them and

they would get everything that comes with it including the traditional role of being the head of the stagg budget committee which is quite interesting when you look at it because in the lead up to the previous election martin schultz amongst other senior members in the social democrats it said a.f.d. has known positions whatsoever in the bonder stagg and should have no position in that part of the static world in trying to hang on to power he may well put them into the main seat in german opposition. schools in three russian cities were attacked by the students this week resulting in dozens injured and six people detained. in the north with her children screaming very loudly we were scared at first we thought it was a joke meanwhile but then we realised it was serious thought there might have been a fire or a bomb we ran i saw three little children covered in blood honestly it was horrible

blood was spilling from heads from necks absolutely horrible. some guys told me their two youngsters their masks run into the classroom injured a teacher started stabbing kids then one of them jumped out the window trying to escape another cat running trying to injure the children and hurt himself. the man to the class and inflicted injuries to find three school children and a teacher with the next a child received a blow to the face another one was struck on the back and another girl lost some

friends. i guess it isn't as clear as they were at it in a calm nothing like this could have been expected from them actually it nobody could have anticipated this would happen. is that someone i knew was crazy and stupid to tell you the motives of all the attackers remain unknown but officials suspect that assaults were inspired by the columbine school massacre in the united states of nine hundred ninety nine back then the attack left fifteen people dead including the two attackers and twenty four injured. police believe the three incidents in russia are connected to each other that's prompting recent lawmakers to push for the closure of so-called columbine these groups on russia's largest social media platform and this page here for example is believed to belong to one of the pm suspects shows subscriptions to several groups dedicated to the

columbine attack and contains videos about the killings. you are right up to date thanks for staying with thomas we'll bring you up to date in alpha. flight for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i dived. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super manager billionaire owners and spending two to twenty million fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i

a million years i would see that and it's happened it's happened. in order to. to overthrow a regime it does take popular discontent and popular mobilization but it also requires actors with in the leadership of the regime who feel that the regime is no longer serving the national interest you need people in the military or the bureaucracy or both who are willing to see the regime change otherwise they would be able to put down a popular revolt but did not have support at higher levels. previously
