unless now bring in our senior political analyst marwan bashar in london to unpack all of this for us marwan donald trump says the u.s. is not 10 no did he think the americans will go ahead with this threat this time around how big of an escalation does this attack on saudi oil facilities constitute . look my sense is fairly that this is a game changer. the united states cannot allow this incident to set a precedent where more incidents like it happen in the future. the united states since the carter administration in 1984 decades ago set a goal that no such threat could come about against busy the most important in the resource for the world economy notably the persian gulf and since then the united states has committed to protect if you will that oil energy resource and i think today that administration faces an important test what to do the problem in all of that and i think that's why there's so much focus on iran because i think since then since the carter administration 180 we really moved away from if you allow me to. fight conflicts into a spec get the time type conflicts. it

money in terms of human resources in terms of sending militia to syria to fight for the survival of bashar al assad's regime and russia has had its military deployed there as well so there is an interest amongst all 3 to try and find some sort of a solution obviously there are other factors into which the u.s. for example is present in north eastern syria so to wrap up a basically all of those concerns will be laid out by the respective leaders we are expecting maybe trying to find a closer agreement as to how the turkish military will operate east of the euphrates see closer to his borders but still a lot still iron out before even more deals can be made between the 3 countries from thanks and all coming about to the weather with counting underway off to chin this is 2nd presidential election 2 candidates claim to be in the lead. on strike in contact areas across the united states almost 50000 general motors workers accuse their employers of putting profits before them. hello again welcome back well of the last 24 hours we have seen.

i think yes and even president bashar assad see than the previous piece of that syria is over everything and i am sure that now the government is working everything and trying to do everything in which. go to. the right or syrians inside and out say syria and we will be very very much a big if you order a few of us come back door their country and work on their factors and their families and live their ordinary lower will of see that this is of the syria which we use a. secular syria and syria was our discrimination between any any any ethnicity or between any religious or group i think yes the government does but we were concerned about that and working for that and i think that we must work we must work with there with the parties inside the syrian opposition who are taking to get about that and the rest of syria syria as a state and as a nation mother because of who are representing the dervish interests are saudi interests or america and the rest of us are other countries and diverse that we want to see it sooner than it was a force in the empirical says and for syria what divisions

and hassan rouhani supports syrian president bashar al assad's offensive which has gained momentum recently is concerned that the fighting will cause a renewed influx of refugees into turkey. a minister boris johnson pulled out of a joint news conference with his luxembourg counterpart today after facing jeers from bragg's it campaigners johnson met with european commission president john called you in a bid to make progress on the brakes that impasse the commission says britain has still produced no viable alternative to the contentious irish border backstop this is good news from berlin you can always find the latest headlines at d w dot com or you can follow us on twitter at. you're watching the w. news live from berlin i'll be back at the top of the hour with more gold to see that. i do see businesses with billions of euros cost time as much of the rubble used to make incomes come time here which is truly an under siege plantations the starvation wages in extremely unhealthy conditions in german manufacturers not the trains because we hear exert pressure all the way down to the front. o

few minutes ago she was able to go through on to the syrian side and these pictures of president bashar assad absolutely every way he's showing he's saying that this is a big success and that syria is at peace and it's now back open for diplomatic business and what does that mean well the idea that the iraqis and the syrians who traditionally have had very good relations are now opening these border crossings the syrians are encouraging embassies to reopen within damascus itself and the idea seems to be that they want to normalize relations with their neighbors not be things like this that helped them do that there are number of countries however in the arab league for example which syria wants to be readmitted to that will have a very different perspective on the will not want president bashar al assad's syria to be readmitted but there is clearly some sort of diplomatic mission going on to try and get syria back into the fold of the international community whether it works or not remains to be seen but things like this are very key ok thank you very much indeed emraan joining us live

ended a 6 year civil war that killed at least 400000 people the war began in 2013 when keir removed bashar as vice president. the talks have also been held in south sudan between sudan's government and the armed rebel coalition known as the revolutionary front a roadmap for peace talks to begin in october has been agreed so. the band's new governing council has made peace with rebels and therefore and the south of the country a priority the conflicts have killed thousands of people. the body of zimbabwe's founder robert mugabe has arrived back in the country he died at a singapore hospital last week at the age of 95 several events have been planned in the coming days but there is this agreement over where he will be buried him with us as one hour from the capital harare. it was an emotional time for the moment the plane touched down after our international airport reality sunk in the bobbies formally democracy libya would rule the country for 37 years. the man who replaced him after the coup in 2017 it is peter was a great leader and. commander. the man. african. nation. left. baghdad now.

unclear as to who exactly will the world who want israel to give the golan heights to would be to bashar a law side who is massacred and butchered half a 1000000 of his own people would it be to the isis which is still operating inside parts of syria would be the rain ians that are in trenching themselves in syria would be to the russians that are in syria so for all the criticism that people might have about the golan heights israel is keeping not just israel safe but it's helping to keep it safe what israel did in my book and try to shrink by taking out a nuclear reactor that bashar al asad was building together with north korea and destroying that reactor built inland near the euphrates river in a region called heroes your rich in 2014 was taken over by isis imagine for a moment that isis got its hands on a nuclear reactor a nuclear material a nuclear weapons this would have been a nightmare for the entire world israel saved the world when it took out that nuclear reactor back in 2000 so i mean i should say i'd be did there is or i want to say to her that presumably russian turkish ir

those who are opposed to the regime of bashar al assad then obviously losing them nor pretty new to you to take a swipe at american interference in the region albeit maybe people will be focusing coals and that argument considering the iranians themselves are so much involved in other countries as well and obviously russian speaking about the points of concern there are so that was just the opening session of this tylox all meeting which is now kicked off ok so that was a pretty meeting news conference now the 3 leaders are actually going to go in and have their talks what will be the talking points precisely what are the main issues right now and what are the sticking points between these 3 countries as far as a serious consent right. so so let's divide them into 3 sections you have immediate issues you have let's say intermediates ones and then longer it's harmonious the currents all media it sure is that's all it lip and the attacks that have been taking place there are by the syrian regime as well as by russian air force on what's his considered to be the last remaining stand of the

i think yes and even president bashar assad see than the previous piece of that syria is over everythingand i am sure that now that government is working everything and trying to do everything in which. go to. the right or syrians inside and out say syria and we will be very very much the beach if you order a few of us come back door their country and work on their factories and their families and live their ordinary life will of see that this is of the syria which we use a. secular syria and syria was our despicable nation between any any any ethnicity or between any religious or group i think yes the government does but he was concerned about that and working for that and i think that we must work we must work with there with the parties inside the syrian opposition who are thinking about that and the rest of syria syria as a state and as a nation mother because of who are representing the dervish interests are saudi interests or american and the rest of us are other countries and diverse that we want to see it sooner than it was a nuisance for sunni and purposes and for syria division

thank you hala announce a london moment bashar our senior political analyst my when i want to talk about benny gantz actually because well let's say the numbers stay as they are and the israeli president says right benny gantz you get the 1st chance to form some sort of government can he do it. yes i think that's probably the most realistic option at this point in time that doesn't mean it's going to bode well for peace and security in the middle east but certainly in terms of stability within israel the clearest path to a stable government would be the so-called national unity or national jewish unity government between guns and then it could party the big question is. whether there will be some sort of an alteration between the head of the blue and white party guns and they had a little good party and whether that head of the nickel party would still be in it and you know because it's clear now for so many that netanyahu has failed in this election not only failed back in april to form a new government his performance and his party's performance this elections around has basically. fel

middle east studies at the university of oklahoma and he says it's unlikely that syrian president bashar assad will bring about any meaningful political change to end the war. there is not a lot of progress but in the 3 have to get together and constantly manage the situation which is quite explosive because there is an offensive led by the syrian government in invalid province which could drive hundreds of thousands if not millions of refugees into turkey turkey is also at daggers drawn with the united states over the question of currencies in in eastern your freddy's region and so all of those different interests have to be managed and each side wants to use this conference as a way to underline its interests its needs and to tell america in a sense that they need to leave the area it's quite clear that that bashar al assad is not having much of this he's not going to change the constitution in any substantial way he believes he's won the war russia does to just you know the day the russians were saying the war is essentially over we just have to worry about these 2 different pockets t

answer questions on exactly what's happening we also understand that nigerian president president bashar is due to visit south africa and surely the issues around xenophobia attacks which the government claims isn't necessarily the case foreigners are not being targeted this is about crime but surely these issues will come up when the nigerian president visited south africa and perhaps the south african government will have a lot of questions to answer around what it should be doing. for me to thanks very much for mina miller in johannesburg force. violence in bikini fast so has left nearly half a 1000000 children without a formal education more than a 1000 schools have been closed in the last 3 years on groups are accused of attacking villages and threatening teachers and students more now from catherine sawyer in northern but you know. this 13 year old girl is safe now in cairo time with more than 100 kilometers from her village farther north it was attacked a few months ago by an identified armed men who he did her identity for her safety she says she still finds it had to forget thos

sublight amir putin and hassan rouhani say they support syria's president bashar al assad and his offensive that offensive has gained momentum in recent weeks split turkish president air to one he's concerned that the fighting will cause a renewed influx of refugees into his country the turkish army has observation post to enforce a buffer zone which was agreed to last year but syrian forces continue to advance with the help of russian airstrikes. let's get more now with our correspondent yulia hawn she's standing by it is still good evening to you why is the turkish president everyone so determined to stop more refugees from coming to turkey. well 1st of all about 3 to 4000000 people are currently trapped inside it live province that's about the population of to give you an idea of the dimension here and to actual 30 say 500000 people in recent months have moved closer to the turkish border seeking safety that skew to the attacks by the syrian army and their russian of backers so prison edwin is very much afraid there could be another massive refugee inflow and he's also afraid that becaus

the russians and the iranians obviously because of their backing their proxy in the regime of bashar assad want to see a complete disarmament so all of the armed opposition groups turkey wants to see an end to bombardments all of those years in order to ensure that there isn't more refugees and also so that they can send and repatriates some of the refugees that are here present pointed to the fact that 350000 turkish or rather syrian refugees from starkey were able to return home because of the areas that the turkish military has been able to safeguard on that sliver of land on the syrian side of the psyche border but you also pointed out to the fact that he is adamant that a 30 kilometer safe zone buffer zone must be established under the protection of the turkish military awards the east of new free its river all of the asli the russians and the iranians fell short of agreeing on that however it starkly said if they don't get approval or agreements within the next couple of weeks it's a threats we've heard before that they would go ahead you know naturally an operator is taking po

regime's push on the final rebel play it live not to be uprooted and rouhani support syrian president bashar assad's offensive which has gained momentum over recent weeks mr erdogan is concerned that the fighting will cause a renewed influx of refugees into turkey the turkish army has observation posts in to reinforce a buffer zone agreed last year but syrian forces continue to advance with the help of russian asterix so let's get more on this from d.w. correspondent julia han in istanbul welcome you here what does president want from these talks. well the turkish president will probably seek assurances particularly from russia's president putin when it comes to the situation in syria is it live province the last rebel held stronghold mr add on is very concerned that the only slowed in egypt could cause another refugee crisis 3 to 4000000 people are currently trucked inside it province and turkish officials warn that hundreds of thousands of them have already moved closer very close to the turkish border in fact they are hungry they are injured they are desperate they live in desperate condi

third is the kremlin's complicity in bashar assad's war crimes in syria. an untold number of syrian civilians have been killed by russian air strikes long in support of assad. those responsible should be tried in the haig on war crimes charges. this is not the behavior of a g-7 country. fourth, in recent weeks, russian forces have ramped up their pressure on the country of georgia. more than 11 years after russia's invasion, the georgian people suffer under its ongoing aggression. that is not the behavior of a g-7 country. fifth is the recent russian crackdown on demonstrators exercising their basic political rights. throughout the summer, putin oversaw the brutal beatings of children, women, and men and subjected everyday russian citizens to arbitrary arrests and detention. what was their plea? that they be able to register their own local candidates for their own local elections. mr. president, the kremlin's ongoing and too often violent oppression of the russian people is not the behavior of a g-7 country. no country in the g-7 acts this way. this behav

its efforts to sell iranian oil to our countries around the world including to the government of bashar al assad the president of syria what these sanctions are doing is not only targeting the vessels that are carrying iranian oil but the u.s. government has also now put out a $15000000.00 reward through a state department program looking for information from people who may come in contact with members of the i.r.g.c. or the quds force who are trying to move iranian oil through various ports in order to reach out customers at the other end the u.s. says this is an effort to continue what it calls its maximum pressure campaign on iran to give up its nuclear ambitions and to engage in face to face negotiations with the u.s. on a deal that would replace the 2015 iranian nuclear deal rania's for their part of already said that this is not a way to get them back to the bargaining table but we did hear from the u.s. president donald trump a short while ago who said that he was waiting to see whether these new sanctions being brought forward by his government are actually going to do what the

of august more than a 1000 civilians have been killed by the russians as well as by the regime of bashar assad so the syrian people calling on the charts as well as international community and those who have been behind these agreements to find some sort of way to put an end to it this coincides with the increase rhetoric by certain sections of the turkish political spectrum that has been quite frankly anti syrian refugee in its nature has been calling for some sort of a solution to the more than 2000000 possibly even 3000000 refugees in syria for these protests albeit not massive a number but the fact that it is the 2nd week running is significant and will have a lot of people monitoring to see what's will develop in the coming days thousands of algerians taking to the streets to demand an end to the current regime algeria has been without an elected president since demonstrators forced former president bill to flee cut to resign and i demonstrators want to completely change it is the 29th straight week of protests in the algerian capital. sudan has its 1st female foreign minister a sma

thank you hoda and in london is known bashar our senior political analysts as their mo and there are so many different possibilities here in your view what is the most likely and i know that's asking you to get the crystal ball out but still tell us what you think. it's actually what i said only a few moments after the exit door last night and i think realistically speaking there's only one options left short of a 3rd election within a year and that option is a so-called national jewish unity government between white and blue party and the likud party but haps with other center right party is like you started with a no the overwhelming every russian party led by the daughter lieberman narrow coalition governments led by likud or by a white and blue party is not possible the math does not add up with lieberman insisting that he would not join and that the neo led government with the religious right i think the possibility of any narrow government is no longer there now national unity government or national jewish unity government of course is going to be difficult the talks are going

tomorrow one more one bashar i think in london and marwan listening to all of the contributors what i'mpicking up here is as we start at the start of the show that escalating this situation isn't in any party's interest so is what's happening and what we're seeing now this kind of tactical to for tat what is the kind of short term game all of that let's just all remind our viewers at least that and ourselves but that was is or that started this is collation last week today with a number of operations in iraq syria and lebanon and it broke biased understanding over the last dozen years by that act that deccan has what law strongholds so that what we know and we're not surprised that hizbullah responded not while it's true that no one or neither party is interested in all out war or a repeat of 2006 but there are a number of calculations and one unintended which is just like wars have.

behind network of state sponsored militia largely made up of former civilians armed by the regime of bashar assad. german authorities investigating suspected syrian militants are well aware of these groups. our source ahmed makes specific allegations. i was there when mohammad asked threatened a doctor at gunpoint when he tried to treat wounded civilians. these people had been shot and injured near our neighborhood. so they were taken to see a doctor. i was there with mohamed s. and his brothers threatened to kill the doctor. yeah. they said he mustn't give medical treatment to the wounded civilians. but says mohammed has also gave the order to shoot at unarmed protesters and recruited child soldiers for the war. it's impossible for us to verify many of his statements but we continue to search for more witnesses. which brings us to the federal criminal police office near bonn this building houses germany's central unit for the fight against war crimes costs on and his team deal every day with statements that are difficult to verify the police officers here investigate cases even if they've

history of bashar al assad in syria is collaboration and cooperation with al qaeda. we know that he has used extremists including ice toys release them from prisons when it suited his purposes and in the past deployed them against u.s. forces in iraq. that is number one and number two, what we are talking about in term was defeating isis is enabling the post-isis communities of northeastern syria the time and space to demonstrate an alternative governance to the assad regime. some of the clear changes that the assad regime that would suggest that he is open to meaningful concessions and revising propersy law so that all syrians would have access to real estate and to rebuild their lives and lively hoods in syria and obviously to end torture, release political detainees and to engage in a meaningful way in the u.n.s facilitated politica process. >> i would add to that, senator, the only party in this conflict that has a clear vision for how they see it ending is bashar al assad. he believes that he can reconquer all of syria. i don't think that an independent analyst

thank you very much indeed let's get more analysis now from london bashar is on to c.n.n. senior political analyst and joins me now live marman what you make of that speech said they were hearing from hashem also focus on the blockades of cancerous remains in place and how the fact this has paralyzed the g.c.c. this as he pointed out. qatar has been a victim but also the gulf cooperation council has been the 2nd victim because this was one of the arrear of regional structures that actually worked. but it was undermined because of the sanctions and blockade by qatar is neighboring country in 2017 and i think in this sense the spirit of this speech what it has the same structure like every other speech in terms of the state of affairs in the country meaning qatar why things are ok now you know despite the blockade why there steadfast of the qatari people it's also forth then there is the regional component and the international component so there's a structure it follows basically that you know the conventional way of how you address the united nations but the difference is

with syria his secret order authorizing the cia to work with saudi arabia in trying to overthrow bashar al assad and in that country i mean to use. president obama's phrase and to modify the a little bit don't you think that trump with all his mere cure mere curial temperament with all his disorganization that he has done much less stupid stuff than president obama himself who like the policy process so much i mean it's harder to give a quick comparison i think obama was much more thoughtful much more careful the libya intervention turned out badly at the time it was a time urgency about it because. gadhafi is forces were heading toward benghazi and they were likely to that he could offer you promise to have a very bitter screw me shoot up all the demonstrators that were going to be there and so it was it was a time when the allies were supporting it so so he could do it with a coalition not alone and it was amply you it could be done obviously it was affective to throw out to overthrow gadhafi not effective in terms of any sort of stable regime that followed syria obviously obama did n

connecting aleppo in the north the coastal region with latakia there so this is very important for bashar al assad he will not stop his. his. his offensive until he reaches the school and this will push the people further north we could maybe foresee a kind of safe zone or from the perspective of the syrians there would be an open air prison to name it very strongly to host all these people there because this region north of these 2 high was not that important for president assad nobody wants to take these people in either europe nor turkey nor anybody else they're afraid of the 10s of thousands of fighters in there as well so this would not be a stable situation and it would be a humanitarian catastrophe if the international community does not take up its responsibility at least for this small pocket that probably most of the inhabitants of the board end up in some major implications in terms of what is happening on the ground right now in syria person author in syria analyst putting it into context for us thank you pleasure. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has approved a new

possibility for a solution to this abraham i do you think the current syrian government the government of basharassad is. we looking for a solution in the situation. in syria in the way that it will return to a democracy so that perhaps even they can lose their seat of power. yes i think the government is very much concerned about the citizens or does not their government promise or a government from other nation. i think yes and even president bush on a set c. than the previous piece of that syria is over everything and i am sure that now the government is working everything and bank to do everything in which. go around. that it's all syrians inside and out say syria and we will be very very much the bitch if you order a few of us come back door their country and work on their factors and their families and live their ordinary lives we're love see that those are the syria which we use a. secular syria and syria was our despairing nation between any any any ethnicity or between any religious or group i think yes the government does but we were concerned about that and working for that and i thin

elections in syria something that hasn't happened for 50 years since half of the current president bashar father seized power in a coup that ever since there's just been sham elections so is it possible now that there could be democracy in syria it's a point that i put to the u.n. special envoy get pettersen. what i can guarantee is the virtue of the constitution will be based on the aspirations of the syrian people you know this is syrians sitting together for the 1st time update on the whole of years working on their own constitution and as you rightly pointed out the security council has to reason and . pursuant to the new constitution there should be free and fair elections where all syrians should participate including there on the u.n. supervision so this is my mandate i've already of course discussed this both with the government and with the opposition s.n.c. i have of course i'm electoral expert all ready berthing on this for me of preparing ourselves and of course preparing hopefully then the syrian parties can i guarantee that this will take place no but as the right to stated
