S. Government behind them but i i think that president carter one theres no chance hes going to implement a cease fire or allow any mediation until he feels turkey has achieved the goals that he defined what washington has put sanctions on turkey and is threatening to impose more if the syrian operation doesnt end when it comes to syria alliances shift quickly on the ground and on the negotiating table the many kurdish s. T. s feels abandoned by the u. S.

Tooky latina 2 we cleared our border from terrorists but this operation were going to clear the east of euphrates from the terror organizations we are determined to practice all the criticism we are receiving threats and condemnations its not going to make us turn back from our very rightful case and strategy for. The turkish president says hes army and its syrian rebel allies are ovoid ing civilian infrastructure and the taking care not to cause civilian casualties black smoke rising over the Northern Syrian city of russell iran is just one of the front lines in turkeys military offensive now the Turkish Military say they had planned to take control of iraqs are and in the 1st phase of this military operation its believed that most if not all the civilians that were in that city have fled for more than a week since this operation started the fighting goes on trial stratford aljazeera near the turkish Syrian Border. Rosen join us live now from washington rosen i understand a letter has emerged between President Trump and i dont want to overstate what that entails. Well this letter was made public by an anchor for the fox Business News channel and the letter according to the person who posted a copy of it on the social media says that the president reached out to the president urged him on and basically told him to think about his legacy that he didnt want the blood of thousands of people on his hands and that the president mr trump that is didnt want to be responsible for destroying the turkish economy he made reference to sanctions against 2 government officials back in 2018 during the detention of the us minister Andrew Bronson the letter then goes on to say and im going to quote from it history will look upon you favorably if you get this done the right and humane way it will look upon you forever as the devil if good things dont happen dont be a tough guy dont be a fool i will call you later now of course there are suggestions that the white house is saying that this letter is in fact accurate that it is true it does coming on october 9th 3 days after the president spoke with the president earlier on but theres no been theres not been any independent verification of this letter basically the white house has argued all along that it never gave race of Tayyip Erdogan permission or a green light to use the operative word to go ahead and launch the invasion into syria and to go after kurdish fighters members of the s. D. F. Who had been instrumental in the fight against eisel certainly there is also the question of whether or not this was a situation where earth one actually was going to listen to anything that donald trump was going to say about launching the invasion its a very Curious Development but certainly its one thats going to be discussed here in washington certainly over the next several hours and john thank you very much indeed. I thought ok to physics former u. S. Ambassador to syria he joins us live from washington d. C. Thank you very much indeed for joining us so we have got this bizarre situation where we now got a President Trump sending us president pence and a pump to turkey to try to argue with turkey to stop the invasion and these are these nato allies what does this leave the kind of strategic relationship between the u. S. And turkey well obviously the relationship is quite strained and probably will remain so for. A fair amount of time but the fact of the matter is is that turkey is a nato ally. And a country that occupies key geography we have been in we have. Their man. Base in toyota and turkey said that there are Nuclear Weapons stored there thats been in the New York Times of light. Meanwhile turkey also controls about 3 and a half 1000000 Syrian Refugees. And if europe and the u. S. Put too much pressure on them they might just start sending them towards europe as they did several years ago and in the meantime the turkey doesnt appear to want to back down in the face of sanctions imminent from the from the u. S. If turkey as a nato ally doesnt doesnt back down what next. Well i dont think turkey will back down if its for some time wanted to create a buffer zone in syria a buffer zone where they could perhaps help some of their allies in ad lib province and elsewhere place where they could put Syrian Refugees rather than in turkey proper maybe arming even some of them but most of all the turks do not want an autonomous kurdish region right on their border particularly because the Syrian Democratic forces that the United States use to combat isis are largely kurdish theyre members of the wide p. G. Apart syrian party thats closely allied with the. Kurdish labor party the. Ak. The accuse me the p. K. K. And turkey. And turks see them as terrorists whereas the us saw them as allies and valuable allies in the fight against the radical extremists of isis enough weve had of trying to kind of perhaps justify the. The u. Turn but with all of the position hes in must by talking about that because in the p. K. Case being no angels i mean do you think though that his is attempt to distance the us from the air it is talking about things like you know thats the its the 7000 miles away and these this this is nothing to do with this is actually. A strategically helpful move or do you think that its dangerous. Look a lot of americans are war wary. Theyre tired of fighting in these middle east wars and trump knows that some of his constituency in this country will favor a pullout without paying much attention to the consequences but the fact of the matter is is that us allies all over the world have to be shaken by what theyve just seen weve abandoned people who sacrifice thousands of lives. On behalf of fighting isis now yes they had their own interests in doing that but we were supposed to have their back and we didnt have it. Meanwhile weve just sent 2000 troops to saudi arabia because of concerns about what iran is likely to do to try to cut Oil Shipments from that country we torpedoed talks with the taleban recently that were supposed to help us get troops out of afghanistan so its so yes trump wants to get out of the middle east and south asia. But hes also made moves that make that much much more difficult to do thank you very much. From the u. S. And us to syria for taking time to share thank you my pleasure. Watching out is there live from london coming up on this news hour. On cones in battle need to carry lam is forced to abandon her annual address as prodemocracy lawmakers heckled her in the citys Legislative Council.

The prospect of a breakfast deal is tantalizingly close french president in one year macor says he wants to believe an agreement has been finalized and hopes e. U. Leaders can endorse a deal on thursday will read and reports. The summit is shrouded in cloud but we are almost there the words of Prime Minister Boris Johnson at a closed door meeting of his party m. P. s on what is the aftermath quoting to those in the room it was a short bouncy speech short in duration but also short on details and thats because even at this 11th hour intensive negotiations are ongoing i said last week that i thought there was a pathway to possible agreements that it still might be or that the question is whether the negotiators will be able to bridge the remaining gaps to mars cancer whats important now is that all focus is kept on achieving a deal that there was tragic. Europes chief negotiator Michel Barnier gave a morning briefing to e. U. Commissioners at that stage significant issues remained unresolved. The lunch break offered a brief glimpse of the u. K. s chief negotiator david frost but still no news of a deal that he think agreed would still need to be approved by britains house of commons with International Diplomatic efforts happening simultaneously to the political wrangling here in westminster the palmistry alignment has not yet been achieved in order to allow a deal to take place but into that theme bramnick stalled tusk has introduced the idea that a deal could just be hours away if i can show them that a group of the. Basic foundations of an agreement are ready said the European Council president of the one islands Democratic Unionist Party is not yet on board the british Prime Minister now leading a minority conservative government has to somehow secure the support and the votes of m. P. s from across the political divide were in a room with 2 doors either this deal with it which is a compromise or potentially no deal id hate for us to do all the damage the reputation impact of the consequences of no deal lets go through the right deal agreement at this late stage would mean the use leaders can give only their political endorsement rather than full formal agreement when they meet on thursday and friday but that would itself be seen as a major breakthrough and would pave the way for a momentous vote in the u. K. Parliament on saturday paul brennan aljazeera westminster. Or a chance for her latest westminster in a moment but 1st an attack in brussels so what are you hearing there on the latest. Well after a few days or very very intense talks between a e. U. And u. K. Negotiators as they try to finalize some sort of revised brigs that deal that they could bring to the table to thursdays e. U. Summit and present to e. U. Leaders what we know for now is that the user chief briggs a negotiator Michel Barnier has been briefing e. U. Ambassadors on the state of play on the situation those ambassadors will then go back to their capitals and brief e. U. Leaders all know what they know and there is certainly theres been some pause there been some positive statements from e. U. Officials and various e. U. Leaders over the past few hours particularly from the french presence on the german chancellor who were at a press conference in toulouse in from talking about believing in an agreement being possible the final stages perhaps german chancellor Angela Merkel also saying that it had very positive things we could be in or she called the final sprint now i think the picture that is really emerging is that there is some sort of agreement between e. U. And u. K. Officials that broadly speaking the foundations of an agreement in the words of donald toast the e. U. Council head in the foundations of there but there are still some details that need to be finalized and that is really where we are going into thats how were going into thursday i should say and what happens next is unclear it could be that you are brussels will meet again it could be that these talks continue through the night what we do know though is that Boris Johnson the british Prime Minister is expected to come to brussels and you can imagine hed want to push forward with those negotiations e. U. Leaders are still adamant that rather of course have a break sit with a deal that deal and thank you very much indeed for a chance or joins us now from westminster so the negotiations i guess everyone is its a waiting game isnt it. It is but i think any expectation that a deal is going to be outlined tonights of pretty much evaporated now yes as natasha was saying there does seem to be. A framework for a deal that exists in the minds of those in the you and also in the minds of course johnson and downing street and he seems to have got some of the hard line breaks it is a grouping of m. P. s on board as well but the Sticking Point at the moment remains the d. U. Pino this is the Political Party from Northern Ireland that wants the. The territory of Northern Ireland so basically stay as closely allied to the u. K. As possible and they are on easy to say the least about the prospects of any kind of regulator or Customs Border existing in the r a c between Northern Ireland and mainland u. K. So they have to be brought on board at the moment it seems theyre not quite now here to talk about this with me stephen pay is a constitutional law expert and professor of the university of essex lets talk some hypotheticals here we dont get a deal this isnt something the day you can sign up for what happens next well then the Prime Minister would have to send a letter to the e. U. Asking for 3 month extension and then we have to wait and see what the e. U. Says to that we can only speculate that theyd have to agree unanimously to it and then whatever they come back with if they say an extension the Prime Minister in principle has to sign up to and thats Parliament Vote sit down which is obviously not what if im going to want to do and its not what people voted leave most of you want to see happen item is that if youd rather be dead in a dish than than do that no it isnt exactly and then theres the question of whether he tries to frustrate them all and whether the litigation goes against him is always a Scottish Court waiting to sit on monday and pronounce some kind of judgment against him if he tries to frustrate the law ok so if he can. Quickly bring the d. P. Into law and convince them that this is something that is worthwhile for them as well then what happens well if he has enough votes and he did the whole of his party including most of the people he threw out of his party last month and probably a few people from the labor party said hed need that for majority if theres a majority for deal then. In principle he doesnt have to ask for an extension except then theyd only be about 10 days left to wrap everything up there might be some details in the deal to wrap up on of that have to be a bill implementing all this a huge bill probably going through parliament and you would normally expect that to go through in 1012. 00 days so we might end up with a shorter extension just to wrap that up maybe just a month or so if there was a shorter extension with the position that is a victory well i imagine he would have having said he were definite go to leave october 31st thats the most important thing ever i suppose you could at least say one month or 2 months is much shorter than we could have ended up with it if it isnt if thats in the 3 months the parliament wanted thats a kind of victory you could say for the people who want to leave at least theyre not doing is not dragging out into next year if thats how it turns out so where does this leave the opposition parties particularly labor have said. They would like to see this position do some sort of calm from a tree referendum if one writes is that correct that they want this to actually be put back to the people again yes i think labors saying theyre referendum on barres johnsons deal if there is one or if we have an election labor negotiates and a referendum on their deal so they may not have enough votes in palm and of course for referendum that i imagine will be debated on saturday if we if we get to that stage as part of the debate over whether we should approve a deal if there is what i think to be an argument should we have a referendum on it then maybe they have just enough votes but i think a lot of people are saying they probably fall just short of the votes they need now for a referendum so theyll push for it whether they get it is another question stephen because thank you very much that stephen is there from the university of essex taking us through some of the variables at stake here for a chance thank you very much indeed. Theres been a 3rd night of violence in barcelona where thousands of people are protesting against lengthy jail sentences handed down to cattle and Politicians Police have clashed with demonstrators firing phone bullets at the crowds or protests have been setting fire to bins and cars several streets have been blocked by the fires demonstrations been taking place since monday where 9 separatist leaders were jailed for their role in catalonia failed independence bid 2 years ago. Are you going to go joins us now from barcelona so where are we with these protests how serious is it. Well its very serious really its a situation out of control on the streets here in the not just been happening here in barcelona but in other. Cities as well but really the evening began as a peaceful approach a protest a march in the city center not too far away from here with people sort of throwing rolls of toilet paper in a kind of humorous way of dispersing some of this of this tension here but then that sort of quickly moved on when you had disparate groups going off in Different Directions they went to the outside of the Catalan Interior Ministry where they were calling for the castle interior minister to stand down saying that he hadnt done enough to condemn Police Officers against what the protesters say was. Over heavy Police Tactics trying to control the violence on the streets here but this is just one point where were at now and you just had sort of. Situations upon situations of where theyve set fire to rubbish containers there are even been vehicles that have been set alight which has been sort of quite shocking for the residents here as well. And certainly has been going against the repeated calls from several cattle and politicians for there to be Peaceful Demonstrations and of course actually the 9 politicians and activists who were sentenced on one day as well made also an appeal for there to be peaceful now today earlier on the president thought around was out taking part in a march. Against the sentence saying he didnt explicitly condemn the violence that was seen in the past 2 nights but he reiterated that hes in favor of pacific pacifist means however. He has come under. Quite a strong criticism for not being Strong Enough against the violence that has been seen on the streets but basically what youre seeing now is 2 disparate groups of independents where you have some people who are really adamant that there should be a control of that they should not be any violence on the streets but another side that say well that hasnt done us any good and that we need to focus on other tactics more radical tactics to get our message across thank you very much. Hong kong as leader has been forced to abandon her annual address and leave the legislation to prodemocracy lawmakers shouted her down furious legislators held up signs and called kerry the mother of the Matthew Police and her response to antigovernment protests have swept the city for months than they delivered the speech via video link but independent to make a new peace offering to protest is called hard there are reports from hong kong the head of chief executive kerry lambs policy address security was increased around the government complex anticipating protesters a wall was extended and more police were added.
