and we've done a great job for all of them and now we're getting out let's get more now on the situation in northern syria we are joined by from the german institute for international and security affairs get a welcome to the program i'd like to 1st ask you about that statement that we just heard from the u.s. president quite an upbeat statement essentially saying that by all indications turkey is making the ceasefire permanent lifting the sanctions against turkey your take. well it's the statement is is bizarre the sanctions were bizarre u.s. policy was bizarre in recent weeks the united states has left no we do see russia the assad regime and turkey dividing north and syria between themselves this has nothing to do with the us and it's not a success at all for the us and western policies in turn or and those 2 parties i mean now that there is you know no more u.s. presence in the area those 2 parties essentially came up with this deal to sort of carve out the region yesterday where does this leave the kurds and the syrians well the syrians the syrian regime is winning together together with the russians simply because. the assad regime has been weak it suffers from a lack of personne

german city of crows always thank you. we're here now in the studio with me is rafi obo song a security and terrorism analyst with the german institute for international and security affairs it's good to see you again we are talking there it sounds like what we saw today in holland was an attempt to be a copy of a copycat crime if you will of what we saw in christ church earlier this year do you agree well that's pretty obvious i mean think goodness the perpetrator wasn't as well prepared and armed and effective as what happened in christchurch and as we also just heard authorities think fully also better now to stop the spread of such material. but yes it's still possible and this person's so far seem to have acted on this is very difficult to prevent we heard from the interior minister here in germany tonight that this was indeed an anti-semitic attack what does that tell us about the strings of the far right the neo nazi scene in germany well unfortunately over the last 4 or 5 years we've seen an steady increase in. readiness to use violence and the right wing extremists even germany which is also been always been considerably large but also growing in numbers and by n

policy politics and polity as well going to my old expert at the german institute for international and security affairsthank you thank you . well russia and turkey say that they have a plan for syria's future following talks in the black sea resort of sochi russian president vladimir putin and his turkish counterpart are to type error to one say they are adding another 6 days to a ceasefire that was due to expire on tuesday evening turkey wants to establish a buffer zone along the border with northern syria from which kurdish forces would be excluded the agreement follows a u.s. brokered truce which expired on tuesday. well nato secretary general struck a positive note about the deal between russia and nato member turkey though he said it's too early to judge the consequences i think what we have seen over the last days is encouraging because it shows that it's possible to move towards a political settlement a political solution the 1st requirement for having a political solution is to stop the violence is to stop the fighting you have seen is at least some reduction some significant reduction in viole

he didn't think it so much from the german institute for international and security affairs here in berlin. now some of the other stories making news around the world today in argentina center left candidate have biotope in and is has won the country's presidential election in the 1st round but almost all votes counted fernandas has portie 8 percent giving him an outright victory over the incumbent mockery the election was dominated by argentina's economic crisis argentina's neighbor uruguay has also been going to the polls there the left daniel martinez finished 1st but he fell well short of the 50 percent needed to win outright he's now headed into a run all against the center right candidate louise who on the river 24. also 200000 people have been ordered to leave their homes as wildfires spread through northern california's wine country strong winds are fanning the flames and statewide emergency has been declared. california's governor said officials were using every resource available to respond to the fires. here in germany voters have flocked to the far right party in a regional ele

for what he planned to do today. carl nasman in the german city of halle tonight. thank you. here now in the studio with me is a security and terrorism analyst with the german institute for international and security affairs, rafael bushong -- raphael bosong. it sounds like what we saw in halle was meant to be a copycat attack of what we saw in christchurch earlier this year. do you agree? >> that seems obvious. thank goodness this perpetrator was not as well prepared and armed as the perpetrator in christchurch. this person so far seems to have acted alone. very difficult to prevent. brent: we heard from the interior minister in germany that this was an anti-semitic attack. what does that tell us about the strength of the far right, the neo-nazi scene in germany? >> unfortunately, over the last four or five years, we have seen a steady increase in the readiness to use violence in the right wing extremist seen in germany, which has always been considerably large, but is growing in numbebers. now the estimate is about 25,000 people. half of them are considered to be generally prone to violence. of course, that does not mean they are terrorists, but that means there's a large number of people potentially ta

german city of hama karl thank you. well joining me here the big table now is rafi obo song a security and terrorism analyst with the german institute for international in security affairs for feels good to see you again we heard you know karl said that we heard earlier tonight from a security analyst another security analyst that this attack today had many of the hallmarks of the christ church massacre that we saw earlier this year in new zealand do you think we are talking about a gunman who was planning on carrying out a copycat crime when obviously looks like it i mean he was just the same way and thank goodness his video hasn't been as available as in the christ church right situation and actually authorities have to take care in the interim period that this couldn't repeat in the same way but obviously this was the ambition of the guy who did this and we heard from horst is a home for the interior minister of germany he's confirmed that this was an anti-semitic attack and people will be asking what does that mean then about the far right seen in this country the neo nazi scene in this country are held strong is it well the official figures are it's about $25000.00

here at the big table with me now is rafi elbows on a security and terrorism analyst with the german institute for international and security affairs been to a busy day what do we know when we look at this entire semitic attack what does it tell us about the far right neo nazi scene in germany. well it shows that there has been a rising readiness to use violence and there is of course a long history of right wing extremism in this country and also right wing terrorism going right back to the 180 s. nonetheless the last 34 years have see the general increase in the number of violence of different kinds and this is unfortunate really a surprise that what's happened but germany one has to say is somewhat better prepared than some other countries so why is it why is that well because of our history i mean it's not to say that the authorities have done everything right but if you look at you know the u.s. of the u.k. they just this summer the clear that right on terrorism is suddenly it's a teaching threat i mean this is not what we have here in germany what we need in germany is yes more attention more resources but unfortunately this

know that the strike originated in the area get a thank you so much from the german institute for international and security affairs here in berlin. it was an election dominated by one issue a grinding economic crisis and now voters in argentina are pinning their hopes on a new leader about tofa nanda is from the center left. with almost all votes counted fernandez has 48 percent giving him an outright victory over the incumbent . who got. argentina's next president knows how to attract the crowds. i'll bet if and and as cheered on by thousands of his supporters in buenos aires. he's clear on his plan for the presidency. that is where you know we are of course going to work together as closely as possible. because the only thing that will concern us is stopping the suffering of argentinians once and for all. it's a return to power assent and left also making a comeback this time as vice president cristina fernandez de. she has self was president. fernando his choice of running mate splits opinion among the population but kitchener doesn't see it dividing the country you know really about it not only today i'll bet

drive the truck and causing a crash for that very reason so it's really very very farfetched at the moment so right or wrong with the german institute for international and security affairs as always we appreciate you coming in sharing your insights thank you. in what simberg a european interior minister's they're making a fresh attempt to break an impasse over migration they want more european union countries to sign of or a plan to more evenly distribute refugees throughout the e.u. europe is currently seeing a rise in arrivals via the mediterranean and in previous efforts to resettle them would have led to deep divisions within europe. well this summit is happening against the backdrop of warnings about another huge wave of migrants reaching europe via turkey largely due to the fighting in northern syria and the turmoil in iraq germany's interior minister horst says that he fears the numbers could be even larger than what we saw in 2015 but sentiment has changed here in germany since the country began welcoming over a 1000000 refugees that year. but he's only fled syria from bolen in 2015 in almost half a decade his life has changed dramatically and the country here r
