live let me put it on has on rouhani support syrian president bashar al assad's offensive which has gained momentum over recent weeks and is concerned that the fighting will cause a renewed influx of refugees into turkey the turkish army has observation posts in it late to enforce a buffer zone agreed last year but syrian forces continue to advance with the help of russian asteroids. so let's get more on this from g.w. comes from the julia han a stumble 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's it live province the last rebel held stronghold mr add on is very concerned that the own 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 conditions and all this is happening beca

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 u.s. want

stronghold or stand for those groups opposed to bashar al assad but also on the table the discussion of turkish military operations inside syria with turkey looking to extend or well beyond the 5 kilometers or 10 kilometers it currently. operates in. the banks of the eastern banks rather of the you're free to see the issue of. or sending back some of the syrian refugees that currently reside inside turkey through syria and how that would change the demographic makeup of sorts in areas particularly ones that have kurdish populations in them considering that turkey considers many of the turks kurdish groups those terrorist organizations on the russian side they have their own concerns with regards to turkish military operations with america considering that they are true nature all allies there and obviously there have their interests in the ensuring the continuation of bashar assad's regime and here is where is where we reach the next point for you which is what was meant to be discussed today according to some reports was finding an agreement through the formation of a committee that

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.

network of state sponsored militia largely made up of former civilians armed by the regime of bashar al assad. german authorities investigating suspected syrian militants are well aware of these groups. our source ahmad makes specific allegations. i was there when mohamed 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 when mohammad s. and his brothers threatened to kill the doctor. 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 a war crimes cost so on and his team deal every day with statements that are difficult to verify the police officers here investigate cases even if they've been ca

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

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 not succee

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 settlemen

august 31 ceasefire but many people living in fear it's only a matter of time before president bashar al assad's forces resume their military operation that has already killed more than 1000 civilians the syrian opposition believes there is a deal to prevent the humanitarian crisis from worsening. there was an agreement between turkey and russia to create a demilitarized zone free of weapons and fighters on the international terrorism list the zone will be patrolled by russia and turkey the syrian interim government will take over governance from high atop. which will have to be disbanded. the situation and it was discussed this week between syria's power brokers who support opposing sides but work together under the so-called asked in a process turkey made clear its priority is to prevent a humanitarian crisis and a large influx of refugees into the country russia and iran focused on the fight against those they call terrorists but it seems they found middle ground there me limited. operations in terms of time and location by getting. the other side over there is also an ongoing process in egyp

saying the white house has been working on preventing such attacks against civilians president bashar al assad's regime has been accused of several chemical weapon attacks against syrian people during the country's 8 year long civil war. trade talks between the u.s. and china will resume in 2 weeks that's according to u.s. media reports it's believed the meeting will take place in beijing on october the 10th u.s. officials had said they expected talks to his you next month the trade war between the u.s. and china has softened slightly over the past few weeks the lifting of some tariffs with hong kong protests now in the 16th week the city as leader has opened talks with the public for the 1st time that many involved in the so-called dialogue session it was a chance to voice their anger at the government. they were the 150 people selected by a lottery to go face to face with hong kong chief executive kerry lamb in a so-called town hall meeting her 1st direct interaction with the people of this divided city she controls after nearly 4 months of protests that were sparked when a bill allowing extra

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

inside turkey the russians obviously had to invest it gratefully in supporting the regime of bashar al assad militarily speaking and obviously having a military presence abroad is something that always strains for security establishments and the iranians through the militias that they sent as well as obviously funding through the syrian regime be it through oil supplies or other things obviously the syrian conflict has had its burden on it not to mention the fact that iran is also involved in several other conflicts in the region not least as we've just heard there yemen so that's what's the main triggering each one of these sides to try and find a solution what so they're discussing today well specifically they're looking at it live the last remaining stronghold of the armed opposition groups inside syria but also how to essentially had to put it quite bluntly divvy up the country the turks are looking to ensure that they control east of the euphrates see the russians will want so it's an guarantee is with regard so that's their rain ians as well that their influence on the country isn't lo

fights in this war and the russians ensure that the regime of bashar al assad stops bombing people as well as its own force and the iranians obviously withdraw their militia and supports from there what is in it for each side well the turks obviously as you mentioned there was a concern that increased fighting would. result in a spillover of refugees into turkey but more importantly turkey has been undertaken . a policy over the past 2 years to try and resettle syrian refugees back to safe areas within syria will be it's barely within syria you are talking about the 1st few kilometers on the syrian side of the border with turkey it didn't through when it took over a job loss in other areas and it's hoping to do the same in domestically the issue of syrian refugees in turkey has been playing more and more of a sense of state role in the political discourse here at this become electioneering material for many parties and the governments as well aware of that as far as the russians are concerned obviously they've invested their miller. in syria for a long time and having troops stationed

the last remaining stand for armed opposition groups opposition groups through the regime of bashar al assad turkey wants to ensure that there is a total halt to russian and syrian air strikes on attacks on this issue not only to ensure the safety of the people there now and that they don't flee and to try to keep but also to establish that saves on that i mentioned so that syrians in turkey can actually start moving back and that brings us to the last point which is the longer term issues and that is what will happen post conflict how will syria be governed and here in the summits we understand that there will be a discussion about the formation of a constitutional committee to draft the document starts with help post war syria be governed but it is difficult to see how an agreement would be reached considering how much blood has been spilt in this war 2 thirds of the votes have been counted intimacy is presidential election and it looks like 2 political outside as the now in the lead the official result isn't expected until later on tuesday but it looks like a close race between law profes

is a question here now syria's war is having a devastating effect on civilians and president bashar al assad's forces and their allies i'm mostly to blame that's according to the un's human rights chief michele bashfully who says more than $1000.00 civilians have died over the past 4 months 304 that's nearly a 3rd of the casualties which children almost all those deaths are said to be caused by as strikes and ground attacks by the syrian government and its allies in the rebel held areas of adlib and hama only $58.00 of them were due to what bobsled called non-state actors. it is weak to take control of territories there appears to be little concern about taking civilian lives any further escalation will only result in further loss of life and these plates and civilians who have already been forced to repeatedly freeze situation both dire humanitarian conditions so i appeal to all parties to the conflict and to those many powerful states with influence to put aside political differences and hold the candidates. well google has been hit with a record $170000000.00 fine for violating children's p
