Call. And in sports arena williams is off and running at the u. S. Open the American Made shoulder welcome her old rival my. Good repair place in the 2nd. Case president s top of the one is in russia for talks on the war in syria the 2 countries signed a deal to create a deescalation zone near the rebel stronghold of a year ago an airstrike by russian backed Syrian Forces targeted a took his convoy on its way to 2 weeks ago causing concern in ankara Syrian Forces increase the aerial attacks on it live and have a provinces in april to regain rebel held areas turkey supports some of the rebels in the region and ankaras purchase of russias s 400 missile. Offense system is a factor thats keeping relations between the 2 countries on track we have been at smith standing by for us in antakya on the turkish Syrian Border but 1st lets speak to. Whos in where putin and. Meeting what are we expecting to come out of this basing if anything today. Well both leaders have now been in formal talks for around one and a half hours now after erdogan was treated to an extensive air show here at the airfield 40 kilometers from moscow and also was shown all the latest technologies that putin wanted to show to him basically just a few minutes ago both leaders were sort of exchanging pleasantries and they joked about that maybe to buy this latest 57. 00 fighter jet nothing serious so far were still waiting to hear the actual topic that both leaders of course have been discussing here which is it. Came hastily to moscow after a phone call on friday with president putin in which he described the situation as a humanitarian disaster and even a threat to National Security off turkey and the president putins spokesman that of course he understands wants concerns but hes also very worried about the rebel forces that were supposed to be reined in by. Russia has complained that that hasnt happened since that agreement a year ago so were still waiting how much putin actually can help the one here because of course the turkish president wants to rein in the Syrian Forces all right stephanie thanks indeed over the planet smith and in antakya near the turkey syria border. Wants russia to safeguard turkish troops and observation posts in northwestern syria south of the problems of the Turkish Military having. Adrian the turkish president and the military are in something of a bind essentially the 12 observation posts are in what is it a deescalation really now in name only and one of those observation post is now effectively marooned in Syrian Government controlled territory territory the syrians talk back last week those soldiers now surrounded president putin a prison early on wants putin to assure him of the safety of those turkish soldiers in those observation posts and there are other observation posts that as the Turkish Military pushes against this last rebel holdout then inevitably if the turkish Syrian Military take those areas more turkish observation posts will fall under Syrian Regime territory and then one has to decide well how long is he going to keep his troops in these observation posts and what exactly is the purpose of them being there adrian. Bird were hearing that Syrian Kurdish forces are withdrawing from the border with turkey what do we know about that. Well this is the 1st official indication that there is some sort of agreement on how deep this sort of safe zone area is going to be inside syria we know theyve been talking about this for months the turks the americans and the americans with the kurdish majority. Says now the s. T. s these Kurdish Forces say theyre pulling back as much as 17 kilometers into syrian territory and theyre going to leave the 1st 5 kilometers open to be patrolled by the turks and after that by the u. S. And then further in by the u. S. And the kurds now its nothing close to what turkey originally wanted they wanted to push the kurds back right as much as 30 kilometers into kurdish territory and the kurds say theyre staying in the towns and cities on the borders theyre only going to pull out of countryside areas but it seems that turkey is going to have to make do with this and the Syrian Defense forces this is what theyve agreed to do adrian aljazeera as part of smiths reporting live there from turkey syria border or near the border in antakya. Irans president says his country wont hold talks on a nuclear deal with the u. S. Unless all sanctions are lifted his comments come a day after u. S. President donald trump said that he was open to the meeting to meeting the iranian leader if the circumstances are rights trump was speaking at the g. 7 summit in france president Emanuel Mccraw has offered to facilitate talks between the 2 sides but rouhani insists that washington must take the 1st step for talks to happen pass. The 1st step is to remove sanctions without it this lock wont be open all sanctions against the iranian nation must be lifted they are all illegitimate and cruel if you lift the sanctions and apologize to iran then you would be a different situation this government is moving forward in line with this National Interest we have been open to negotiation and the word agrees with this fact. More from our serious asset begged in tehran. President rouhani has been speaking into iran this morning and he took the opportunity to address some of the news coming out of the g. 7 mainly that donald trump has said that hes willing to meet president rouhani if the conditions are right now what president rouhani has said is hes reiterated the iranian line that there will be no talks and negotiations as long as the u. S. Sanctions are in place he said that all sanctions against iranian nation must be lifted that illegitimate and cruel now iran has referred to the sanctions as economic terrorism. Experts have been drastically reduced the Banking Sector has been affected and the economy has also been affected president rouhani said that he did not see any positive developments unless the United States change the wrong path it was on now this is very different from what president rouhani said yesterday because what he said yesterday gave people some hope that he was willing to sit down and talk to President Donald Trump president rouhani said yesterday that if he had to attend a meeting with somebody or someone to forward. National cause and to alleviate the peoples problems he would do that for the National Interest now overnight that seems to have changed and that could be because of the Supreme LeaderAyatollah Khomeini who decides all the major policy directions because in the past he has said that iran will not sit down with the United States as long as the sanctions are in place in fact hes called it double poison basically saying that you are sitting down with the very people that are making your country suffer so it looks like there has been a change overnight and iran is reiterating its positions that there are no talks no negotiations as long as 2 u. S. Sanctions are in place as far as the g. 7 summit itself is concerned the reports now on the french president calling on washington getting back to the gross using table. The prospect of a meeting between us who were a new president was not an likely outcome of the g 7 in berates but as the summit came to an end its host the french president suggested talks between donald trump and Hassan Rouhani were possible. At some point there has to be a meeting between the iranian president and the us president i hope that in the next few weeks this meeting will take place france plays a role along with the other partners who signed the iran deal trump who pulled the u. S. Out of the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal last year and imposed sanctions said he was open to diplomacy were looking for no Nuclear Weapons no Ballistic Missiles and a longer period of time very simple we can have it done in a very short period of time. And i really believe that iran can be a great nation id like to see that happen the development came one day after the unexpected arrival of the Iranian Foreign minister in berates jeff odds are reef was invited by the french president whod been asked by some g 7 leaders to mediate in the crisis. Trust conciliatory tone has also extended to trade he said beijing and washington could begin talks to resolve the tariffs dispute going into this summit a man or mackerel said he wanted to use it to make progress on the escalating tensions over iran and trade help tackle the amazon rain forest fires and kill divisions using multilateral cooperation at the end of the 3 day meeting it seems the french president has succeeded on several fronts they were unresolved issues though the u. K. s Prime MinisterBoris Johnson received only a vague promise of a future trade accord with the u. S. And was no nearer to a deal on breaks it with the European Union i think its the job of everybody in parliament to get this thing done that is what the people want by the way its what offerings and partners on the other side of the channel want they want they want this thing done they want they want it over last year trump refused to sign the final g 7 statement this year has scrapped it replacing it with a one page summary of the meeting so with no commitments in writing the challenge will be to. Tell leaders to. Pull promises they have made. Aljazeera. When you just Heard International report there about how trump talk positively about resolving trade issues with china but on tuesday beijing insisted that there were no recent contacts between washington and beijing to talk about trade the comments came after the u. S. President said there had been talks by phone on monday donald trump predicted that there would be a trade deal with china very soon the 2 sides of increased tariffs on each others goods in recent days more now from scott hyde whos in beijing the Chinese Government reiterating that has not had a direct contact with its trade delegation and that of the United States this is something that donald trump contended at the g. 7 summit meetings on monday also was reiterated again by his treasury secretary but china said no they said that late monday and also said that again on tuesday and they also took the opportunity to tell the United States that stop taking wrong action that comes to dealing with this threat were also something coming out of the g. 7 summit reacting here in china they said that this see no british agreement from 1904 at the g 7 member said that needs to be upheld in Hong Kong China has said no that is an outdated document and that things have moved on from that this is something the Chinese Government has said in the past and also took this as an opportunity to tell the International Community particular g 7 some members that this is an internal matter and essentially to butt out of chinas business. Israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has told the leader of lebanons hezbollah to calm down after he threatened retaliatory attacks against israel on monday israeli drones bombed a palestinian base in eastern lebanon near the border with syria that came a day after a suspected israeli drone crashed in a hezbollah stronghold in beirut damaging the media office of the iranian backed group lebanese president michel aoun called israels actions a declaration of war the justified a military response so much. I didnt know that allah said i suggest he come down he knows well that israel knows how to defend itself and payback its enemies i want to tell him and lebanon which hosts this organization that aspires to destroy us and also to the chief of irans could force be careful what you say and even more what your reactions. Are the un says its gravely concerned and has called for calm on all sides. Over the last few days we have seen in the broader middle east reports of drone attacks missile attacks and air strikes. All over the region israel in gaza lebanon syria iraq as well as saudi arabia and that all since since friday i think all of these reports or of concern to us were continuing to follow this situation closely and i think as as the secretary general has said and we consistently maintain the middle east region cannot afford any additional turmoil there with the news out from aljazeera still to come on the program a new push in the u. K. To stop or no deal breaks it will be live in london. Well tell you why a court has delivered a landmark ruling against a pharmaceutical jobs in the u. S. And in sport into my hands to strike a means this is sure to turn up just by these words the mahdi. Frances president Emanuel Mccraw has hit back at his opposite number in brazil over wildfires raging in the amazon speaking on french t. V. Him across the world countless allow brazils government to destroy everything files in the amazon came up during discussions of the g. 7 summit over the weekend on monday leaders there agreed to give 20000000. 00 to countries tackling those fires but brazils president diable sonora rejected the offer saying it amounts to treating his country like a colony heres what mccraw had to say. Some of these. Becomes even more solvent country and when we have major events we accept International Solidarity because its a sign of friendship but above all there are 9 countries in the amazon and many other countries ask for help and its important to mobilize it quickly so that colombia believe yet and the brazilian regions that it would like to have access to this International Help and can have it and can reforest quickly. Is in one of the worst affected areas in the amazon portabello will be speaking to him in just a moment but 1st heres his report. Look from one side of the plane and the amazon is verdant pristine teeming with life too big to destroy dennis suddenly its gone. The rate of deforestation in recent months breaking all records fires are started by speculators aiming to impose mans will on nature but they often rage out of control and the devastation is immeasurable. Force this year the fires are much stronger than previous years there are very very strong affecting our visibility on work i think people took advantage of the dry season to start the fires they do it to dispose of on wanted vegetation to enrich the soil and clear the way for lucrative cattle ranches and soya plantations only from up here you get a feeling that the of. The day and of the structure 1st of all the great waves of. Ready to make that. Point by the fire of recent weeks. Doesnt jive also nod off a strong criticism from around the world that he wasnt doing enough to fight the fires has deployed the military these hercules c 130 s taking off from port to spray some of the affected areas and. The order was given on thursday and by excessive days biami was supporting the operation so personal of being in the fields and. Steen combating the fires on sunday it rained which also helped to put out the fires. This is the beginning of the rainy season which the author it is hoped will douse the fires of the still burning there bemused by the International Concern saying they are dealing with what for them is a natural but containable problem people tend to see the problem. With their own lands or with the lens i dont offer today and i think that we there are here right now inside of the problem we lets say very use of the problem and now we know we really doesnt look at it as a problem or such a big problem as is sold right. People come to the Amazon Region believing they can tame the wilderness can take control of the ford developments from up here in looks like the only way to tame the rain forest is to destroy it. And danielle joins us now live from port of oh in the northwest and cities of london here dont know where the fire is being at least starting now to be put out and rains on the way the emphasis is perhaps shifting to the political arena what is the brazilian government doing to prevent a repeat of this next year. Well im not sure that the brazilian government believes they have a major problem is this see job also not all was responding to that International Criticism coming out of the g. 7 summit he sent the troops in the make sure that the cameras were there to see the soldiers arriving to do their work to help with the Fire Prevention and putting out those blazes and then talking to that man you saw the environment secretary here in port the way we spoke we spoke to yesterday he was the same with this happens every year it might have been a little bit drier this year that mother with a few more fires this year but this is not right for development this is a zone where we want people to come to chop down the trees and to impose soya plantations cattle ranching it is containable and they believe that the International Community has got it wrong and doesnt understand brazil. Has called the indigenous communities here the environmentalists and impediments to progress so im not sure that they get the brazilian government is going to do very much to change things as we mentioned the rains are coming most of the fall certainly in this region are out we we saw very little evidence yesterday that the files were still burning and i think. The problem will return next year there will be fires next year during the dry season and i suspect that the International Outrage will will rise up again and jabal sonar will no doubt shrug his shoulders and say whats all the fuss about how the people there where you are dale view the situation. What people here have come here they come here to make a living theyve come here to try to develop the amazon as it really very. Depends on who you speak to a few days ago we were out into the deeper into the amazon jungle we met an Indigenous Community there they fear for their very survival they say that the more that people encroach on their lands the more Illegal Fishing that goes on the more hydroelectric dams that are built in the area the less likely they are to survive much of the activity that goes on in this region is illegal the government has reduced funding to the Government Agencies which are meant to police this area so people can act pretty much with impunity this is a paper place to come where people can make money and they thats likely to continue with the nado and his government supporting them despite the International Pressure to try to save the rain forest and as it was tony also im reporting live from port of l o in the city of romania in brazil many thanks daniel. A group of british opposition parties has agreed to Work Together to try to prevent a no deal briggss they say their pass through legislation or even hold a vote of no confidence to prevent the u. K. Leaving without an agreement the move comes a week before m. P. s return from their summer break new Prime MinisterBoris Johnson has vowed to take the u. K. Out of the e. U. 31st with or without a deal lets go live now to westminster in london i was there as lawrence lee is there just how united then lawrence is the oppositional briggs it. Well i think part of the short run is a bit more than that than they have been said repeatedly over the last few months the the biggest thing that leavers have had in their favor really over the course of time has been how. Big the remaining have been and its one thing them all saying we dont want no deal brechts if this is the labor party the main opposition the liberal democrats the scottish nationalists the Welsh National and the greens all of them dont want no deal and a lot of them dont want breakfast at all but their internal fights with each other over policies of stop them from being able to come together and now eventually this this late in the process theyve had a meeting in the office of Jeremy Corbyn the Labor Party Leader and have agreed a strategy not so much the plan of a vote of no confidence anymore in Boris Johnson the government but they say try to legislate and force an extension to the entire process and theyve come out of this very optimistically saying were really on track to make this happen the problem is its one thing saying were going to legislate against no deal but as we saw over and over again earlier this year when parliament voted against no deal on several occasions they couldnt find anything to legislate in favor of instead and so no deal remained and still remains the default position and so where they havent got so yet is an agreed position on what it is that they want instead and for that reason i think more than anything else than that the alternative of a general election at some point a snap election at some point up sober still still very much has to be on the cards because it could be anywhere breaking the deadlock yeah speaking of that the Prime Minister seems to be head of steam earlier we heard from the briggss Party Leader Nigel farrar. What did he have to say and how key will he be if there is an election in the u. K. It senator if you look at the polling this in a became Prime Minister those people who support somebody in the brics it hard or otherwise to seem relatively convinced that he. Does genuinely want want to get it through in the way that he says and consequently support for the brics it policy nigel farage his vehicle has gone down really quite substantially in the polls. Host hostess an event this morning in which he unveiled hundreds of new perspective parliamentary candidates who would stand if i dont actually mention were to happen because i think he sees himself struggling now because Boris Johnson is becoming more popular his strategy is to call into question Boris Johnsons. Character and whether hes really telling the truth over what he says hes in short in a very light way he said you cant trust Boris Johnson to do what he said hes going to do this is how he phrased it himself. Can you trust Boris Johnson this is you. Can you trust the conservative party this is you. You see even without the backstop this is the worst deal in history. But for all that for all the way in which the opposition seem to be coming together a bit more in the continued threats of war a chance for from the brits it party the main thing as is suggested the bush also has going for an l. Unlikely as it sounds is that the European Union individually and as a bloc seem to be more convinced that johnson is on message not a loose cannon and actually does want to try to into some sort of renegotiation or not to have a no deal he seemed to do quite well at the g. 7 summit in france over the weekend and all the noises theyll coming out from brussels individual european capitals are that maybe some sort of rework to resume a style thing as hit quite unclear as to what it looks like may not be so london she even given that short time frame that people had thought that probably would have to involve an extension as well the hardliners in his own party wouldnt like it but at this point election possibly no deal possibly anything still possible al jazeera as long as the reporting live from uncharacteristically sunny westminster many thanks indeed lawrence thousands of people in sudan have been forced to abandon their homes due to heavy flooding at least 62 people have been killed 100 injured the Health Ministry says the roads are blocked and that many buildings have collapsed a lot of farmland is on the water the militarys been deployed to help the floods for 2 months of heavy rain. The situation here is very difficult almost 7000 houses have been completely destroyed the sudanese people here are in dire need of clothes and medicine we also need more tense because the number of tents we have isnt enough to accommodate all the families of the past few days. Just here aljazeera of had the beady eyes of a Tropical Storm called dorian in the Eastern Caribbean here with an update is jenny yeah things say you know a very significant storm this one potentially with a lot of worry to some regions as well let me start by showing the satellite this is where it is this is a storm system this is Tropical Storm dorian at the moment is that 50 kilometers west northwest the solution is headed across barbados and pushed out into the Eastern Caribbean sea but the preparations are really in place system is moving to the west northwest at about 20 kilometers an hour winds at about 90 gusting to 160 this is pressure eco preparations here really are well underway and that is because they are still recovering from hurricane rita which was back in september 2017 that was a category 5 hurricane and it killed out here with 3000 people in this region and this is can see as the forecast track here is where we are as a say to the west of solutia and it is going to be heading on this northwesterly track over the next couple of days it is not expected to become a hurricane but it will stay as a very strong Tropical Storm and of course with that does come some very heavy amounts of rain this is showing you where it will be and the rain all the south facing coast this is where weve got concerns a very high dangerous surf and also threatening life threatening rip currents as well and of course in terms of the rain its going to come down with a storm system well it is the c. 100. 00 millimeters of rain to some of these areas and we could potentially pick up about 250. 00 millimeters and certainly on thursday this is the worst day for question rica where we will expect to see torrential rains and of course damaging winds but as agent just said well keep you very well updated. Jenny many thanks still to come here on the news hour to tell you why hundreds of venezuelans have been protesting against ecuador us government. And were in indian administered kashmir for a look at how a security lockdown is affecting the sick and those tracing the. Roger federer was a bit of a wobble at the u. S. Open the details coming up in sports. This is a dialogue let you decide not to have children to say the pot its like a steak is really human survival everyone has a voice that must start with our community because of course this is a debate and its a he did want to visit a little beach and literally be able to do a ph and i fully join the global conversation with people i think if only they knew what is happening to labor muslims they will be with us and they will be outraged on out to 0. 000 and. Where every. Dollar going its good to have you with a safe room for the going to here in doha with the news from aljazeera the headlines turkey. President but i want to wash up where hes beating with president Vladimir Putin are expected to discuss the war in syria. Opposing sides of the conflict. Irans president says his country will not hold talks with the u. S. Unless all sanctions are lifted by someone whose comments come a day after President Donald Trump said that he was open to meeting with. Beijing insists there were no recent contacts between washington and beijing to talk about trade comments came after the u. S. President said to have been talks by phone the 2 sides have increased tariffs on each others goods in recent. Muslim clerics intro lanka are advising women to avoid wearing face veils even though a government face coverings lapsed last week any clothing that prevents a post being identified was banned under emergency rules brought in after the easter bomb attacks religious leaders told al jazeera that women should make the own decision lets go live to colombo aljazeera smell fernando. Whats the government saying if anything on this but. That in the state of emergency which was in place literally for 4 months off to those deadly bombings on friday obviously 30 days at a time extended by. 3 times over until friday but the one thing that. Did allowing the state of emergency to lapse is to bring in a number of power under an extraordinary gasket which allows him basically to use the armed forces to maintain public order so in terms of that does affect all the regulations and laws that are in place and thats why we have the muslim clerics urging sort of a note of caution obviously muslim women using. These were actually set aside. The bringing in of the emergency which basically abandoned any form of covering which prevents a person from being identified so i want to watch the muslim leadership is kind of urging. People gauge the ground situation not to rush back with the face will but looking at the ground situation some of the tensions yes they follow the law of the land but theyre asking their congregations to sort of gauge the ground situation before they make a decision how many women wear the face trail. Thats a 1000000. 00 question but even recent times we have seen. Sort of a increase in the number of women who have adopted the face veil who have adopted their traditional sort of customary clothing is something that they did feel when we found these emergency regulations coming into place there was a little bit of concern that are some of the more conservative families that reported their women actually preferred to stay indoors rather than do something which was so out of the ordinary for them others did basically go about without the face will we still see them out and about around not just in colombo but even in other parts of the country so it is something that took getting used to obviously given their traditions it would be something that they would like to go back to but obviously as we hear from the clerics you know what we dont want to kind of and to get the situation dont let people or even racial elements that are born to exploit the situation use this as a platform to try to stir up trouble so those are the things were hearing adrian with regards to this latest development 0 smell from this reporting live from colombo. Well many things. The grim existence of women trafficked from nigeria is being highlighted in the new report victims of trafficking described how they prayed for death or cried until they couldnt cry anymore Human Rights Watch says that an unknown number of Nigerian Women have been forced into sexual slavery and physical labor many of them under the age of 17 the report says the support for survivors is inanna inadequate and that existing civs sent systems either failed to help or sometimes breach victims rights humans were Human Rights Watch has recommended an overhaul of the countrys support system and says nigerias government has to do more to prevent trafficking agnus of jambo is the author of the report she says the conditions in government shelters can almost be as bad as when theyre with the traffickers. They are forced to work for long hours without rest they are confined some of them i can find in a building theyre not allowed to talk to their family lives sometimes theyre not even allowed to be friends with the other girls that have been trafficked theres a lot of violence you know a lot of threats when girls were seized or say they are not able to work many of them they got pregnant they were forced to undergo abortions in very unsanitary conditions and then they watch charged for most abortions and immediately after that they have to start working and then they watch on their own so much money you know Something Like 20000. 00 euros so really they remain being very traumatized and very distraught as they come they have come back developed of pain and with a lot of trauma and poverty unfortunately the night man does not and when they come back to nigeria because many of the government study says that king and. Some of their model locked up in government run shelters where they are not allowed to leave will theyre not allowed to communicates with their families almost replicating some of their conditions that they experience when they are with their trafficker and then services for Mental Health care you know very nicely quaid he says to help them and leaving you know make them money be able to support themselves and their families are really lacking so really the situation is not good.
