8:00 am
and the 1st ever russia africa summit is now underway in the resort kurdish forces are expected to leave the area within the timeframe both leaders held the deal. syria should be free from unlawful foreign presence the long term stability of syria can only be achieved by observing the sovereignty and unity in this country mr putin and i concluded the historic agreement to fight terrorism and sure is serious to restore integrity and political unity and return refugees these talks were very tough and you have to remember the turkey initiated the meeting with putin after they launched an offensive against the kurdish forces that ankara sees as terrorists at the turkish syrian border the operation known as peace spring and gird actually many or maybe even too many including damascus moscow washington mr the gun came to me putin sort of showing he lost his patients and he is ready to
8:01 am
continue the military operation in syria's north and basically he was threatening at the same time asking a lot including i guess a total control of the so-called safe zone along the turkish border east of the euphrates 30 kilometers deep into syria russia is the massacres of major l. i could not allow this to happen and russia's logic always has been that only those legally in syria meaning syrians of course and russia invited officially by damascus have the authority to stay in syria so under this logic turkey is not legally in syria but at the same time it's really dangerous to ignore it negotiate and you always have to remember that the resteal the province also in syria is north home to from 2 to 3000000 people not controlled by the syrian government where. turkey bag forces all over including some jihadist and islamists are in charge and that situation that crisis and that there are a should be resolved and cannot be resolved without turkish assistance what exactly
8:02 am
just go through the main points that they have agreed on all here they signed a memorandum with 10 points number one and most important is that both turkey and russia agreed to respect political unity and territorial integrity of syria which is very important i mentioned there are areas. in syria's north not controlled by the syrian government and you cannot talk about successful ending of the crisis unless damascus is full control over all syrian territories is restored then next turkey led military operation against the kurds of the i mentioned is basically now over because the sides agreed to in fact eliminate the reason of these operation the kurds should leave the so-called saves on the turkish border and take their weapons with them and for that purpose the syrian border guards and russian military police will enter the syrian part of the turkish syrian border and they will monitor the withdrawal and once it is confirmed and we already now hearing reports that the kurds have left but once it is officially confirmed they will be
8:03 am
joined russia turkey patrols along the border and that is also a very good thing because the control 1st of all will be shared between turkey and russia and turkey is not the country i mean judging by their relations and their actions that you can 100 percent trust and 2nd that territory will be secured and also both russia and turkey confirmed their commitment regarding safe return of refugees to syria and fighting terrorists on the syrian territory talking generally you look at the good news generally for syria as a whole in its quest for a long term peace all year because i think this is one of the major t.v. moments of this meeting is that the milter operation in syria is north is now over it's too early to talk about peace brought to that part of the country but it is definitely a step toward that direction and maybe in some near future we indeed may see refugees coming back including internally displaced people. within
8:04 am
syria coming back to these territories that's a very good thing another thing is that with america now out of the picture we can see that there are less parties left on. ground to negotiate these and this is it. goes along with russia's position that only those who are legally in syria can actually negotiate over how it's going to end although we still hear hear from americans that this is there to have been thanks to the strong leadership of president donald trump we have an opportunity for a permanent cease fire we may well give the international community an opportunity to establish a safe zone between turkey and the kurdish population in syria that will ensure peace and security for all the peoples of this war torn region we heard from russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov saying that the americans are americans they have their own position that by the way tend to change very often. especially
8:05 am
regarding the syrian crisis but what matter is is there a stab at the raw after is and the reason will from russia turkey and syria to end this crisis and to bring peace long awaited peace to syria. russia's defense ministry has confirmed its military police are now heading to the turkish syrian border we talked to political analyst use of about the deal and he says it's set in stone the conditions ankara had already agreed on earlier with you. it's a very important deal and both sides to get everything that they wanted they got enough where to leave the table and say we're happy. now when we look for my turkish perspective turkish was able to make the diplomatic gains it made at the table with the united states by having them reflect onto the field and. dealing with the russians because of all in reality the u.s. presence is weighty in the last real power brokers in syria are turkey and russia
8:06 am
so the deal with the americans to have a meaningful consequences on the. reaffirmed by the russian president that's exactly what the president did today get this deal and we see that even those treaties not dealing directly with the regime through russia you see that the regime is happy with this deal that the opposition is happy with this deal . with this deal and the russians are happy with this deal so it's a win win for everybody from my point of view. meanwhile the u.s. is moving out of syria across the border to iraq the u.s. secretary of defense mark asked for is currently on a visit to baghdad he's discussed objections to the deployment raised by the iraqi side iraq's defense minister says the troops will stay in the country for 4 weeks maximum on monday a convoy of around a 100 u.s. vehicles was seen crossing into the country meanwhile washington is moving troops to saudi arabia. and explains why about deployment could prove profitable. amid
8:07 am
widespread criticism of his recent moves regarding syria donald trump sticks to repeating a pretty strong commitment when it comes to foreign policy it's time to bring our soldier. now one would think that back home means back in the united states but if you think that you would be wrong now there's an old saying that your home is where your heart is and u.s. troops have been in iraq since 2003 so they've had plenty of time to get furthermore 2000 troops are being redeployed to the kingdom of saudi arabia we are sending troops and other things to the middle east. but are you ready saudi arabia at my request has agreed to pay us for everything we're doing now the troops in saudi arabia i'm not coming for free the kingdom is coughing up the cash to cover the expense so perhaps donald trump meant back home
8:08 am
unless someone pays us but is a rocket going to pay for its troops iraq is a lot poorer than saudi arabia but perhaps having your country invaded and having your infrastructure destroyed gives you a discount in 2019 the us military budget amounts to roughly $693000000000.00 us dollars so perhaps having countries pay for the presence of u.s. troops is a way to balance the books right now the us military currently has a presence in over $160.00 different countries if all these countries started paying perhaps the american taxpayers could start making money rather than losing money on the us military budget perhaps the deal maker in the white house has an exciting new business model that is already in the works. to the troops who. are going to be. who is president. the troops. to bring.
8:09 am
presumably the states. structure of the united states government given the current system. given its imperial interests i don't think it's possible for you this proves to be poor pensioners billions of billions of dollars 11 years after that and it's business as usual again the grass is still growing the sun is still shining and the rating agencies are still inflating the reputation of big business if you are the receiver of the now you wish paying for the your dollar in a way should the notion that that is now you wish it is a bank that is reliable is simply too big and yet it has continued for many many to work that way and even in the crash of 2008
8:10 am
even though there was some talk about changing this relationship both corporations and the rating agencies were ok the only able to evade any change at all. a grim development in the u.k. where 39 bodies have been found inside a truck it entered the country on saturday having come from bug area across live now to our to escape partridge from our kate what else do we know hi there jackie yes just to add to what you were saying a murder investigation is now underway after those $39.00 bodies were discovered in the back of a lorry in craze in essex in the south east of england having a ride from bulgaria in what appears to be but is not yet confirmed as an act of people smuggling as we know a 25 year old man from northern ireland a lorry driver has been arrested on suspicion of murder prime minister barak johnson has given this response. i'm appalled by this tragic incident and as
8:11 am
success i am receiving regular updates and the home office will work closely with 6 police as well established exactly what has happened my thoughts are with all those who lost their lives and their loved ones. well home secretary pretty purcell will also make a speech about this in parliament shortly well let's look at the events themselves what actually happened oh 1 40 in the morning so in the early hours of the morning the ambulance service actually alerted the police to the situation and it was the police that confirmed that $39.00 people have died of those $38.00 or thought to be adults and there's one teenager now we don't yet know what caused these people to die and we don't yet know their identity is that lisa saying their identification is the top priority but they anticipate it being a lengthy process as these people are not sort to be from bulgaria from where the lorry came from as log area is in the e.u. and therefore these people would have had free movement to have come to the u.k.
8:12 am
let's also look at the location of where the bodies were found the watergate industrial park apparently is very large and has lots of multinational companies based there it's also not far from the m $25.00 which is the motorway that services london but also the route that the lorry took as well when i arrived from bulgaria but it came into the u.k. through the welsh port of holly head which some horses have said is a very odd orthodox route to take as it takes longer about way it would add an extra days journey to be able coming into the u.k. that way rather than coming through the more also docks route which were to go from cali into dover but apparently security and checks have been tightened there so perhaps this might explain why that route was taken and also it harks back to it to a different time 2008 june 2008 when 58 chinese immigrants were found dead in the back of a lorry the following year a dutch lorry driver was jailed for them manslaughter in the meantime this is still an ongoing investigation and police are appealing for more information particularly
8:13 am
about the routes taken by that lorry and also the time that was taken what they were doing in between arriving in holyhead and also what's happened before this discovery today that this tragic incident. reporting live from london then. still to come the president of chile apologizes after 15 are killed in riots triggered by his public transport hikes more on that and a few minutes. the world is driven by shaped by the curse of those with. no dares thinks. we dare to ask.
8:14 am
what holds his hands to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. we somehow want to be rich. but you'd like to be close that's what the 43 in the morning and people are. interested always in the waters of the. first city may. come back the 1st russia africa summit is being held today 43 leaders will take
8:15 am
part with the aim of boosting cooperation. that there would only the list of deliveries is expanded you would share with you cultural products increase groceries one of the top 10 largest food supplies in the african markets we are exporting move agricultural products because the. so africa has come to russia to get russia to come to africa more often that pretty much explains what we're seeing and saatchi on wednesday and thursday the 1st event of its kind all the african leaders have been in to the black sea resort and almost all of them made it so we are going to see nearly 50 leaders and here global economic powerhouses such as of course the u.s. china and the you which as some say you have a reputation of really being eager to get
8:16 am
a slice of the african high after all 30 percent of the world's natural reserves is a serious incentive while in the past they have organized similar events but now it's russia's turn but the russian officials of the most senior of them who we are going to see at the form of course have said that moscow's approach is completely different i do have to point out that president vladimir putin just before the summit began in one of the interviews even blamed the western countries for putting on a new face yet still trying to exploit the african countries mercilessly to their own benefit although according to mr putin that's not a plan for russia in the next 36 hours or so we are going to see whether the russian officials will deliver on their promises and commitments most notably waldemar putin will be getting together with the leaders of africa's strongest economies such as egypt and south africa and r
8:17 am
t we'll be bringing you all the latest updates from the russia africa summit. here and saw. that chilean president has apologized and announced new social reforms after 15 people were killed in deadly protests these were triggered by a hike in public transport fares 5000 people were also arrested chile is just one of a number of latin american countries though facing serious unrest. of. the
8:18 am
countries where the protests are happening have governments with very different political leanings and chile and peru people are angry with the decisions of right wing leaders want ecuador bolivia and venezuela people are unhappy with left wing policies and former u.n. officer told us overall inequality is the root cause of all of the unrest. i mean you can have the straightforward governments you can have it going with this should corruption and you can have garments we want transparency and used the words as barriers it is funny but again it would look so inequality and. proper fear distribution of rarities and resource. welcome back to trying to treat you if you're going to be heard in fact come to. see you look at america.
8:19 am
he has just to. see. today. so. maybe that's the social rules. he was. british m.p.'s have once again done to boris johnson's brock's hopes despite approving his deal with the e.u. they rejected his demand that they raced through all of the legislation and just 3 days earlier they forced johnson to request a deadline extension from the e.u. something he hopes brussels will refuse. do we say we will pulls this legislation and let me let me be clear let me be clear our policy remains that we should note. that we should leave on october 31st and that is what i will say to the e.u.
8:20 am
and i will report back to the house so let's have a look at where bugs it is having with his rapid timetable rejected by m.p.'s the odds are against johnson meeting the hallway and deadline as we've just heard he's also paused the legislation for now waiting for the e.u. to reply if brussels grants an extension he says he wants an election but if they refuse given the limited time left and no deal becomes much more likely former london mayor ken livingstone things it could be a long time before the government reaches any final agreement over breakfast with parliament. horace's lost more votes in just 3 months as a prime minister than any other prime minister now history was going to be many amendments to this legislation which is a very large bill on $110.00 pages covering the environment workers' rights trade deals and so on and most probably even a amendment to say that once this act of parliament is passed only becomes law if a rain referendum means the british people support it so we're not going to be out
8:21 am
at the end of this month because this is going to go on for several weeks perhaps even towards the end of the year and no one can foretell where we're going to end up in the government and the opposition need to agree on how long this act of parliament should be sheep 88 how many amendments should be put down but if barry stuff and it really is just could be like trench warfare going on speech we come for 2 weeks. that's a global news wrap up for now but i'll be back at the top the hour with the latest thanks for tuning in. it seems the breaks that psagot will never end the electorate voted to leave the european union but the political class and media are resisting does the people's voice mean anything anymore what is the legacy of bragg's it on institutions
