Street to street fighting in the Syrian Border town of russell i mean. These are kurdish fighters men and women in a force the s. D. F. Leadership says is around 70000. 00 strong. Many of whom were trained by International Coalition forces in the fight against feisal turkey has called them terrorists for decades and hes determined to clear them from near its southern border. Its the 16th of october 29th seen at 10 am says the male voice yes the fighters are resisting against the enemy. Calm down the attacker is behind the red door he says. Both the kurdish sdn from the Turkish Military have claimed victory in russell line over recent days. Here kurdish fighters to show off a military vehicle they say was left behind by Turkish Forces. Their tactics yesterday with 60 vehicles trying to get inside our comrades in the s. D. F. Confronted them and as you can see this is the turkish flag were kept at this and theyre scaped left behind their stuff. The s. D. F. Say its fighters have been prepared for situations like this for years one of our fighter com raids are preparing for the others says the woman in the next year when in fact there are the bodies on the ground as you know your honor i dont allow anyone to take the body and she never. Called me to be careful another woman says we fight we confuse yes and success let him go to the field. They struggle to rescue their wounded surrounded by heavy gunfire. Nearby turkish artillery reload and fire. This battle is part of a wider strategy to create what turkey calls a safe zone along the border. 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 fight this 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 his 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 iraq 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. Now Syrian Forces have entered the town of kabbani where u. S. And kurdish troops defeated i still 4 years ago with their presence is now a major obstacle for turkey as it tries to create a socalled safe zone in the area zain ahau that has more from near the turkish border. The turkish army and their local syrian allies are continuing their offensive in northeast syria but they are facing stiff resistance the kurdish Led Syrian Democratic forces are putting up a fight so the operation has still not achieved the 2 objectives and that is 1st to push the Syrian Kurdish fighters away from the border the objective is to push them 35 kilometers south and the 2nd objective is to create a safe zone so that the millions of Syrian Refugees can return home but its not just this is not the only obstacle that the turkish led forces are facing the fact that the syrian army has returned to the northern corner of syria is posing posing a threat because the turkish army cannot advance in a number of areas the russians which backed the syrian army they too have deployed their military police along a number of front lines among those front lines is members of the city of many bish so the turkish army is now unable to capture this town so a lot of obstacles not just on the ground but diplomatically because the russians are exerting pressure on turkey to engage with this with the Syrian Government in one way or another russia making it clear that it doesnt its not accepting the turkish incursion into syria saying this is just unacceptable to the only way turkey can operate in syria is they can temporarily push a maximum of 10 a maximum of 10 kilometers but they need to pull back and theyre not just talking about in the east of the euphrates it seems russia wants turkey to end its military presence in all areas across the Northern Syria there is going to be hard bargaining ahead and we are now understand that the turkish president or the gun will be traveling to sochi on october the to. The 2nd for talks with Vladimir Putin but Syrian Government officials earlier today said the russians are trying to set up some sort of a security meeting that will bring the Syrian Government and the turkish government together at least at the level of Security Officials so a lot has changed in syria a new reality on the ground an unprecedented criticism by the russians towards the turks and turkey also finding itself in in a crisis with its nato ally the United States now u. S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the president had a meltdown on a house of representatives vote which overwhelmingly condemned the withdrawal of american troops from syria pelosi says she believes donald trump was shaken by the number of republicans who voted to oppose his decision to pull the forces out as he has more from washington d. C. U. S. President donald trump is trying on a new label for his withdrawal from Northern Syria strategically brilliant in 2 appearances with the italian President Trump went on to list a series of false hoods quickly dismissed by senators from his own Political Party kurds are much safer right now one of the things that i think we could tragically see emerge is the potential for ethnic cleansing and against kurds now if you look at the kurds and again i say this with Great Respect then the way i want to express my gratitude to the kurds. They were great fighters and we had a terrific alliance with russia wants nothing to do with isis russia is tough they can kill isis just as well to rely on russia and iran to protect us against the rise of isis is quite frankly and saying we may know more about how the president framed the issue to president in this leaked blotter trump writes quote 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 they did go to other countries and with his Vice President in the audience just hours from heading to turkey to demand a cease fire the president sent this message turkey and syria will hopefully work it out between themselves so now whats next well all eyes will be on Vice President mike pence as he heads to turkey to ask for a cease fire that experts say much less likely to happen now given the president s comments the u. S. House of representatives in an overwhelming vote passed a resolution condemning the president s move and theyre threatening quick sanctions on turkey if they dont agree to a cease fire something the Vice President will ask for even though it now appears the president that is sending him doesnt necessarily think the u. S. Should be involved at all. Aljazeera washington lets get more on this now were joined by rosen and jordan shes live for us and washington d. C. And as weve been reporting was house Speaker Nancy Pelosi saying that trump had a meltdown because of the number of politicians republican politicians who condemned his troop withdrawal and syria and were seeing opposition like this from not just democrats but republicans to republicans to to the president before. Well the most recent example of that and it was perhaps the real 1st real example of that was this time of year ago after the murder of the saudi journalist. You saw bipartisan outrage that the saudi government apparently engineered his murder in istanbul and that they were blocking turkish efforts to investigate because hoshis murder we saw a number of legislative efforts to try to punish saudi arabia efforts which continue to this day to try to deny saudi arabia weapons to try to deny it any sort of political assistance a lot of bipartisan criticism but certainly with this situation involving the turkish incursion into Northern Syria with the reports of hundreds of thousands of people being displaced and people dying of being caught in the fighting between Turkish Forces and members of the Syrian Defense forces many of whom are courage persons this is a situation where you have both republicans and democrats in the house of representatives overwhelmingly endorsing a resolution condemning the turkish invasion and calling for the turkish government to be held accountable of course the political jockeying around this is whether or not this Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell will allow similar legislation or version of this resolution to be debated by the senators and voted upon really to send a message to the president that they disapprove of his strategy involving the members of the s. D. F. The Kurdish Community writ large and the way hes been handling relations with turkey it will be interesting to see how the senate views this but with the support of the house draws Vice President mike pence secretary of state pompei are now on their way to but do we know do they know if president and the one will even meet them. Thats still a very big question earlier on wednesday president had suggested that he wasnt going to waste his time meeting with either the Vice President or the secretary of state which would be a huge diplomatic snob but then there were conflicting reports later in the day suggesting that perhaps the president or to one would after all welcome both men in and talk with them about the situation with the syrian kurds with the ongoing military operation and whether or not he would be willing to discuss imposing a ceasefire in that in order to resolve this conflict which is now a week old but we really wont know until both the Vice President and the secretary of state actually arrive and whether they actually get a welcome they left washington in the last couple of hours we should know perhaps in the next 12 hours or so if that meeting is going to happen at all right thank you very much for that. With the latest live in washington d. C. We are going to stay with this were joined now by Maggie Seymour defense counsel fellow at the Truman National security project and shes joining us from bang bang in 10 in new york very good to have you with us on aljazeera so do you think that this was a miscalculation of a president trying to fulfill this promise of putting troops out of syria very much for his domestic audience and especially as he campaigns for reelection given the significant opposition to it from members of his own party absolutely ringback in fact i dont think he calculated anything at all. Something you read something. And made a unilateral decision now or in or since situation. And so now his Vice President his secretary of state are on their way to negotiate this cease fire with turkey and were also aware of this letter that President Trump sent to president and the way he said you know dont be a tough guy dont be a fool and how do you think president and the one would react to that kind of language i think as any any reasonable adult look its a joke. To have leaders or major powers invoke see in the devil in a letter diplomacy is is just a joke and theres no theres no need to hide the threat theres its just empty words and frankly not well crafted words but when you said theres no major behind the threat i mean what about the threat of. U. S. Sanctions i mean the president has a way he signed this executive order imposing stack sanctions tariffs on steel imports that is the action that the government has taken against to keys state. Banks just yesterday so what about those threats right i mean sanctions have their place but theyre just rather illustrates the ignorance of the International System the United States does not have sold ours will control over any other countrys economy or our Economic Future and while the u. S. Does have great power in the system you need everyone on board so when the United States says we you know were going to destroy your commie we dont have the power to do that thats not how the International Economy works and it certainly hasnt dissuaded president out of the on from the path that hes on if he doesnt give in to u. S. Pressure and threats i mean how much do you think the strengthens russias especially in its position as a mediator. Absolutely and i mean every every inch of ground the United States russia will take over weve already seen this week russia has taken over or are a waste in a great mood and you know the rooms that you so the whole special forces u. S. Special forces whatever we give up in that area russia will take over the same well it is great to get your thoughts on this we do appreciate your time thats Maggie Seymour live in binghamton new york thank you thank you. Now we have more on the situation in northeast and syria later in the news hour including mixed messages from the u. S. As the u. N. Security Council Holds its 2nd closed door meeting on turkeys offensive also ahead of mozambique awaits the results of its high stakes election as activists complain of vote tampering. And in sports well tell you why one of the biggest football matches in spain could be on the move thats coming up a job. Now last minute breaks at the gauche ations are continuing with leaders hoping a deal can be approved ashton each you lead a summit on thursday french president hollande says he wants to believe an agreement has been finalized for brennan reports from london. 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 wednesday afternoon according 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 and that is still my view however the question is whether the negotiators will be able to bridge the remaining gaps in advance of tomorrows cancer whats important now is that all focus is kept on achieving a deal that delivers for everyone. 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 in westminster the alignment has not yet been achieved in order to allow a deal to take place but into the next stall tusk has introduced the idea that a deal could just be hours away the Financial Freedom that the group of the. Basic foundations of an agreement are ready said the European Council president the dogon islands Democratic Unionist Party is not yet on board and 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 bring 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. To mice and bake now at least one person has been killed while police try to disperse a crowd at a voting station after polls closed in tuesdays election or ballots are now being counted although activists say theres been several incidents of vote tampering malcolm webb has more from a protest.

The Electoral Commission says none of the irregularities a significant enough to affect the result and police havent confirmed any deaths. Generally the election process is peaceful and tranquil we urge the people to remain calm and peaceful and wait for the information being broadcast. And the media. People in mozambique are just waiting for accounting and results to be announced but also waiting to see if this is an electoral process that they can trust. Now france and germany have reached an agreement on arms export walls for their joint military programs but they remain at odds over saudi arabia germany has agreed not to block french exports to 3rd countries so long as the equipment is made with less than 20 percent of german components germany banned arms exports to saudi last year president emanuel back on defended frances decision to continue sending weapons there David Chaytor has moved from toulouse. The french president emanuel mccrone the german chancellor Angela Merkel described their talks in toulouse as a period of intense cooperation they both agreed to have signed new agreements on an arms embargo against turkey for their incursion as they called it in to north east syria but the divisions between the 2 leaders were exposed at a cure in a session after that press conference and the french president from for the 1st time really defended the fact that he was keeping the arms sales to saudi arabia going while germany is opposing him lets hear what emmanuel macro had to say is good also context along should we have stopped all exports to saudi arabia because saudi arabia is a partner that has been attacked by silence on its own territory we traced your frame from brutally cutting all types of relations of riyadh as it would have provoked had we cut our ties or saudi arabia artis would have led to them forging alliances with other nations. Now at least 35. 00 foreigners have been killed in saudi arabia after their bus collided with a truck so the saudi media says the passengers were pilgrims of arab an asian descent that happened around a 170 kilometers from medina which is home to one of as lambs holiest sites.
