Allow correspondent stratfor does and thats near the turkish Syrian Border charles was the clock ticking down now to the end of the ceasefire in the text saying they could resume their offensive whats happening on the ground there. Was certainly the ceasefire seems to be holding but there are serious concerns because certainly according to our sources these are fighters with the Free Syrian Army that have been very much part of this Turkish Military campaign in Northern Syria theyre saying but there are still that huge areas that the s. D. F. Those Kurdish Forces still control so it seems at this stage doubtful whether those forces will have withdrawn in time before this deadline this deadline hits which is well around about 6 hours from now weve been speaking to some of the people whove been working some of the the the military that have been working inside wrestling which is behind me some of those syrian arab fighters there saying that there have been a deployment there has been deployment of more troops more fights is sposed to the east and to the west suggesting that the turks could well be readying themselves for a new front if indeed the demands that are being made by turkey in this. U. S. Brokered cease fire deal are not met and weve been looking at some of the events that initiated this crisis and how it is unfolded in the last 1015. 00 days or so and this is our report. Pentagon officials democrats republicans and european leaders said the withdrawal of u. S. Troops gave turkey a green light to act militarily against the kurdish s. D. F. In syria. The kurdish s. D. F. Called it a stab in the back. Turkeys president received type has long described kurdish fighters in Northern Syria as terrorists pose an existential threat to turkey. But the 8 turkish artillery and strikes began targeting kurdish positions across the border. Erdogan says operation peace spring is a campaign against terrorism not the Kurdish People and hes rounded on international critics. With 3600000 Syrian Refugees in our country whiting to go back to their homes the European Union look at yourself i repeat at the moment you cannot call or define no operation as an invasion is easy we could just open the doors and 2600000 refugees weve seen them back to you Turkish Forces and their syrian rebel allies made quick gains on the battlefield larry control of the border town of. The 14th. Un and aid organizations warned of a new humanitarian catastrophe as tens of thousands of civilians fled the Turkish Forces of bonds as the fighting intensified International Pressure on turkey continue to mount European Countries including germany france and the netherlands counseled weapons sales to turkey on the 14th of october the us treasury announced targeted sanctions on turkeys Defense Energy and interior ministers and to their respective ministries fears grew about the military operation weakening the battle against eisele when it was claimed up to 800 eisel prisoners and family members had escaped an s. D. F. Controlled jail shelled by Turkish Forces. With their former us allies moving out of the Turkish Military and turkey back Syrian Rebels advancing kurdish s. D. F. Items were forced to go to the Syrian Regime and that lies the russians for help. It is a deeply easy alliance the Assad Government which had days before described the syrian kurds as traitors and separatists was quick to act the syrian Army Deployed to various positions around 35 kilometers from the Turkish Border Russian Military vehicles patrolled some of the areas in between to prevent a potential confrontation to turkish back Syrian Rebels and the syrian army in a letter dated october 9th trump had warned order while not to launch an operation against Syrian Kurdish fighters though to be a tough guy it said thought so but the 17th a u. S. Delegation led by Vice President mike pence flew to ankara for emergency talks and is traded insults and threats with World Leaders criticizing his military operation no one expected a pause in the fighting to be announced today the United States and turkey have agreed to a cease fire in syria. Turkish side will pause operation peace spring. In order to allow for the withdrawal of y. P. G. Forces from the safe zone. For 120 hours. President early on valve that if Kurdish Forces havent completely withdrawn from within the proposed safety zone by tuesday night then full military operations would continue the kurdish s. D. F. Said they would only withdraw from a contact line stretching around 120 kilometers between the towns of russell i mean and to be out. On october the 21st the day before the ceasefire was due to end kurdish residents of the town of commission spat u. S. Military vehicles with fruit as american soldiers headed to the iraqi border leaving their one time allies behind. Some very interesting reaction coming from the Iraqi Government with respect to those u. S. Soldiers that have moved across the border is reported today but the Iraqi Government says that is u. S. Troops do not have permission to stay in iraq now we know that the Iraqi Government has been under a lot of pressure. In recent times as u. S. And iranian tensions have have increased because of course the great relationship that iraq has with iran so there are concerns there certainly highlighting what certain critics are saying us is the weakening position of the u. S. In this region as a result of this troop withdrawal as we go towards this deadline within as i say 6 or so hours from now you can only imagine the kind of concern for what certain aid agencies say up to 200000 people that have already fled the fighting so far in Northern Syria at least 7000 of those have actually crossed into iraq we understand according to sources we have across the border so all eyes on tsotsi as president putin at least one would think is trying to do all he can to of verts the turks. From resuming their military campaign Charles Stratford on the turkish Syrian Border keeping an eye on things there for us thank you charles well now lets go to sochi for more on those talks between the russian and turkish leaders step fasten is that step we are all counting down to the end of this cease fire it seems that mr pearson is the main power broker now in the syria conflict and the russians i believe lord he said they want more information from ankara about their plans what else do they want. Well all eyes indeed are here on this meeting inside she only around 6 hours until this cease fire will expire both leaders have now been in talks for more than 2 and a half hours it was actually scheduled to have been finished already and we were expecting some statements have come out already but there is a lot to discuss president putin has a very big ambitious plan for this peace in syria he wants to connect turkey with the Syrian Government and also the Syrian Government with the kurds and he wants to go back to an agreement that was made in 1908 between turkey and syria which sort of went downhill because of the war but its basically who wants to try to convince both syria and turkey that that agreement should be the basis of their future relationship basically syria should then make sure that the p. K. K. That it could is fighters have no room in syria and that should convince president or one to eventually pull out his troops but this is of course a very Long Term Strategy also the president ial spokesman peskov already announced that this would be long and complicated negotiations and the situation on the ground of course is very different and that is something that of course in the next few hours we need to find some kind of short Term Solution that president putin here wants to clear with the one and much will be debated about this saves is also a disagreement between turkey and russia about this saves zone which according to the russians shouldnt be as large as 32 kilometers so we hope to hear in the next hopefully maybe minutes or i dont know maybe hours what the outcome of this very important meeting here in sochi will be indeed and step vasant will be staying across those outcomes and there is talks in sochi for us thank you step. Well as charles was saying iraqs military says that u. S. Troops who crossed over from syria do not have permission to stay in the country the soldiers the posts of those forces who withdrew from the old in syria as the Turkish Operation against kurdish fighters began well lets go to the white house now where candy how that joins us live can be war so were hearing from officials that seems theres been some confusion about the actual troop movements was this all part of the plan. Well all we can say right now is that there are 2 different sort of plans that seem to be in place theres the iraqi leaders who are saying that the american troops that have left northeast syria are simply not allowed to stay and that directly contradicts the statement coming from the defense secretary mark esper that said the plan in the eyes of the United States was for those roughly 700 soldiers to go to western iraq to continue the campaign to combat eisel prevent his researches so we know that there are a couple of things happening we know that the defense secretary is expected to talk to a rocky leaders we also know that there is a discussion of potentially lined up for wednesday with the defense minister but in the midst of all this you have to remember some of the sensitivities on the part of iraq not only the 2003 u. S. Invasion of iraq that still lingers and in many miles but more recently in early february the u. S. President donald trump made military leaders in iraq and leaders furious with his suggestion that the United States perhaps use a rock as some sort of base for not only combating eisel but also to monitor iran and this is just another example of the impulsive nature of donald trump strategy when it comes to syria this sort of the chaos on the ground as people try to put the pieces into place because it has been so hastily arranged now in the midst of all this we should also remind you that the u. S. Congress is still pretty upset about the u. S. Is sort of hasty withdrawal and movements and sort of the disorganization of it all thats what we know that this week that the Democratic Leaders in congress will be putting forward some sanctions package they say that is bipartisan that means it includes democrats and republicans members of the president s own party they feel they want to try and undo what they say the president has done and kimberly in terms of feather reaction to that u. S. Troop withdrawal from republicans hows that playing out with president thompson policy. A well certainly there have been a number of vocal republicans you have to remember that the u. S. President s goal here is to try to deliver on a 26000 Campaign Promise to end the endless war so there are many campaigning republicans that are trying to support the president satisfy their constituents but theyre in a difficult position given the fact that many of these people also represent military communities many of those communities have soldiers who have fought alongside kurdish fighters and theres a real sense of abandonment not just around the world but in the u. S. Congress but also from those on the ground so the president is walking a fine line certainly its going to play out in the u. S. Congress this week can be held at the White House Correspondent thank you committee. Staying with iraq and iraqs government has released a report now on a preliminary investigation into the killings of protest is that report found that Security Forces used Excessive Force and live fire against demonstrators at least 157 people mainly civilians were killed during weeks of antigovernment protests the violence poses the biggest challenge to the government since the defeated i saw it in 2017 well for more on this lets bring in our correspondent in iran con hes in baghdad for us and ron what reaction are you hearing from senior officials there how has this report been received. Well the actual report hasnt been released to the general public gets whats happened is a statement was read out on behalf of the Prime Ministers office on state television that had most of the meat that was in the report now what the report said was that they confirm that life i had actually been used against the protesters and they admitted to Excessive Force what theyve done is theyve sacked a number of very senior public military officials including 7 commanders from the various provinces theyve been removed from their posts. The report went on to say that there is going to be judicial investigations to take place to see whether there will be any court cases in the future involving those individuals also updated the death toll to a 157 people across the country being killed and over 3 and a half 1000 people who were injured this report has been long awaited it was supposed to come out on sunday it didnt come out monday it didnt there was some talk as to whether it might be buried completely however it has been certainly not released to the public but we know whats in it jus to the statement thats been given will it be enough to appease the protesters who say that they want the people responsible for firing on them to be brought to justice well lets see what happens on fridays going to be kate is a huge protest that is organized on friday lets see what the chanting lets see how the protestors take the issuing of this report obviously a lot of protesters will be willing to will be wanting to see people responsible in a court but that wont happen quickly. For us in baghdad and thanks very much for that update a man will be watching those protests very very. Well moving to lebanon now where protesters there are demanding more reforms despite the government to prevent sweeping economic measures to improve the economy well there are thousands appeared to be tightening security as police and military dispersed protest is trying to erect barricades Prime Minister saad hariri announced a plan to diffuse the biggest demonstrations in years against the nations leaders activists say they will keep going to the streets until the entire cabinet steps down well our correspondents anaconda is just north of the capital beirut. Zana where do we go from hand weve reached the seeming stalemate between the government and the protesters what are the options now going forward. Will the crisis like you mentioned is far from over the government presenting an economic plan to the public hoping to calm the anger in the streets but that has not happened protesters as you see behind me they remain defiant this is a main highway that connects the lebanese capital beirut to the north of the country its closed protesters are blocking roads yes some side roads remain open but it makes it very difficult really for people to move from one area to another the Bank Association is announced that the banks will remain closed theyve been closed since friday theres a cash problem in the country people do not have cash a. T. M. Machines its very difficult to withdraw cash from a. T. M. Machines now the Education Minister trying to resume normal life saying that schools and universities are going to open tomorrow but students associations faculty staff theyre saying that theyre going to be on strike so theres still the finance what happens next will be full here believe that if they maintain the pressure on the government the government will resign but the governing coalition really has made it very very clear we are clinging on to power we are not going to accept to step down so are these demands really realistic are they going to be. Able to achieve their goals especially since the opposition is very weak politically the governing coalition controls the government controls the parliament but both sides have the borders and when we saw yesterday some of the Political Parties in the governing coalition their supporters took to the streets carrying party flags attempting to reach the area of the protest site the army intervened to keep the people apart right now of the role of the army is really keeping the peace and many ways there is that the session by the Prime Minister and the army chief to ensure that public life is not disrupted but as you can see behind me the army is still not using force to open the roads and some areas it has managed open road but it is using prevent thing its trying to convince the protesters to do so so the army if you can see them there theyre everywhere there in the street south in force to maintain the peace but they have not taken any side in this ongoing conflict. Not just north of beirut thank you very much for that update sanna well lets go to other correspondent in the country Stephanie Deca who joins us now from the Northern City of tripoli staff there in lebanon 2nd largest city we saw those enormous numbers of protesters in the capital in the last few days whats the atmosphere been like outside beirut. All has been protest as you said not just beirut here in tripoli particularly a major turnout throughout the last 6 days ill just get ali to give you this is the main square here this is as you mentioned lebanon 2nd biggest city its been really ignored and disregarded by politicians it is a sunni heartland in the sense that this is a stronghold of Prime Minister assad how deeply but that model is no longer there these people are returning to the streets disagreeing with their all the titians disagree. With their policies and sticking to the same lines that weve heard in beirut over the last couple of days and in other cities of the south as waltz the ball the titians need to go and whats so interesting about this place is that is that this this is this was unexpected even for other areas this is a place that theres a lot of poverty is probably the poorest major city in the country it was very much affected by the spillover of the syrian war you had gotten bottles between 2 neighborhoods. Of each side at the east versus the knees really regarding a war zone a couple of years ago so people were very surprised i suppose people saw it as a cliche but were very surprised when they saw these kinds of scenes families coming out of particular on saturday nights you had a d. J. Play to the crowd people jumped it was almost like a rave in that video went viral that was here many people initially thought that was beirut no that was tripoli well the mood meant tains very upbeat as you can see its still early days its for around 4 30 in the evening here now we are expecting the crowd to grow were going to have to wait and see whether this momentum continues and of course everyone weve been speaking to say that they will continue to come out they will continue to mount the government to pull but of course at this point thats looking very difficult steps than it was just showing us in beirut and the Army Presence on the streets there and the show of force essentially from Security Forces is then that kind of presence on the streets in tripoli as well and and is that could that affect the atmosphere there amongst protesters. While theyre over this more here to secure the protesters we drove out from beirut our viewers a day and theyre still remain a lot of roadblocks by the protest its a very good natured mood there is army along the way also police but there are no forces you heard from say no theyre not forcing them to close the roads theyre just staying there with them theres army around this area as well but at the moment its more. Secure that say this is also the mesh we heard from Prime Minister saad how do you think yesterday to the people he made it very public so if that changes he will be held accountable he said you have the right to protest it is my duty to protect you and the army to protect you if you protest peacefully while its a very peaceful protest its been very peaceful throughout the last 6 days the question is is patience going to run out from the politicians at some point if the momentum continues again everyone as we keep saying these are extraordinary times not to but nobody knows what what what the days ahead are good in a good i going to play out its just very very unpredictable and stephanie to have that joining us from tripoli watching that situation for us very closely thank you stiff on the other news now in at least 5 civilians have been killed in yemen during the as strike by the saudi u.

Aljazeera clearly is different because theres a maturity about its views go over the years really generally the report also has shown that the birds took the risk of a story a little bit over the knowledge of their most going to build a 0 these says you know the boys would be a little more grown up the other girls will grow slowly become the the magic of the beast of the world thats what we do most of those we do will. Have again youre watching aljazeera a reminder of our top stories this hour. To. Hes president rushed up to about 0 on his and sochi where hes meeting his russian counterpart at iran has repeated his threat to restart the military operation against kurdish fighters and northeast and syria we do expect to hear from both leaders very very shortly these are live pictures now from sochi ahead of that press conference a day is a ceasefire that is due to end delay so on tuesday. Iraqs Ministry Says u. S. Troops who crossed over from syria do not have permission to stay the soldiers are part of forces who withdrew from Northern Syria as the Turkish Operation against kurdish fighters got underway. And protesters in lebanon are demanding the reforms despite the government approving sweeping economic measures authorities appears to be tightening security as police and military dispatched protest is trying to erect barricades. Now caution guinea has sentenced 5 people involved in recent demonstrations against president alpha conde up to one year in jail the protest ages were found guilty of inciting civil disobedience protesters rallied earlier this week against a proposed change to the constitution that would let the president seek a. Second term expires next year and hes refused to rule out running again at least 10 protest is what killed by Security Forces but our correspondent Nicholas Hock is joining us now live from dhaka in neighboring senegal nick how significant is this ruling how people reacting to these sentences today. Well there was just a small crowd outside the courtroom when the sentencing was being read out but there was Paramilitary Forces and police in full force at the course just to give you a sense of the situation in guinea right now because this court ruling is significant especially for members of the opposition and members of Civil Society just a reminder those that have been convicted for jail time or are not politicians are not an innocent members of the opposition this is an economist an artist a blogger these are members of the general public that they say are not affiliated to any Political Party and theyre fighting against what they say anyone touching guineas constitution its what they want is to ensure that alpha conde doesnt extend his stay in power hes 81 years old and most people in guinea now are under the age of 18 and they feel disconnected with their leadership as. Well as the government in responding especially to the deaths of protest is at the hands of Security Forces and could be seen lots of people take to the streets again potentially. Well it says exactly there are more protests that are planned in the days and weeks of to come and it seems that this movement is defiant despite this court ruling the government was hoping that through this court ruling it would be the end of the crisis but it seems its just the beginning coming back to your question alpha conde is in russia right now and before he took off to meet with blood amir putin he said that these protests were not very significant even alluding that some of the video footage that we saw were not even from guinea itself but maybe from haiti or were fake news now hes currently in russia for the africa russia summit he has the backing of mir putin remember that guinea is a former soviet union outpost russia has a lot of interest in guinea which is rich in minerals and so he hopes to garner more support around his attempt to stay or extend his stay in power he says hes going to respect the rule of role although and calls for a referee for a referendum but the problem is the opposition do not trust him to hold free and Fair Elections coming back to the violence that we saw last week we saw from our own eyes the paramilitary going out with live ammunition shooting down protestors Human Rights Organization among them amnesty and Human Rights Watch have condemned the action of Security Forces in the heavy handedness of it the African Union the United Nations and the European Union are some of the International Organization calling for dialogue between the president Civil Society and the opposition and thats the elections the president ial elections are just a year away so this is very much the beginning of a process and the beginning of what seems to be a crisis now that speaking to us from back on senegal thank you nicholas. Well there have been violent protests in bolivia the president there is being accused of trying to manipulate sundays Election Results so he can avoid a runoff in december even moralez appears to have a 10 percent lead over his main rival but Carlos Messer is refusing to accept the results john holland reports from the palace but that was the streets abilities capital disappearing into a haze of t. V. It was aimed at the thousands of mostly young people who came out of the night against the lection they saw this full tilt at that number is down we are protesting because we are tired of this government which many places which doesnt respect our vote was they were bins into the road to block the police and lit fires to counteract the effects of the tear gas why are elsewhere those more harmful burning down Voting Centers and sue clearly and pull to see. It was strange to think the old sunday night theyve been celebrating the preliminary vote count showed challenger color heading into a 2nd round behind the incumbent president eval moralise won the last 2 elections by a landslide and then the vote count froze when it came back 24 i was later ever more or less was far ahead and suddenly on the brink of a 1st round victory. It wasnt just these protesters who questioned so did the organization of american states officially observing these elections. The Electoral Court presented dasa with an inexplicable change in trend which dress to clean modify the end result of the election and generates a loss of trust in the electoral process. Was president yet declared himself the winner but his opponent colas message is ready to announce the process. The governments trying to stop us going to a 2nd round that was clearly established yesterday to revoke counting system. That was stopped arbitrarily. The as it were is remains the countrys most popular politician hes grown the economy dramatically cut public but in recent years hes lost some of his overwhelming support partly through what many have seen as a gradual erosion of democracy were the group that for many this would be the last straw is mostly young people that been protesting here into the night basically they say that whats happened in this election is a fruit and that they dont accept that they wont change the earth there are already calls for a National Strike a mass protests these people is just the beginning of the struggle john holding out dizzy to the past. Now canadas Justin Trudeau has secured a 2nd term as Prime Minister but his labor party hasnt gained enough seats to form a majority in parliament and means trudeau will need to rely on the support of the new Democratic Party in order to push through legislation now the main Opposition Conservative Party picked up votes where liberal support fell the new lack reports from toronto. For Justin Trudeau it definitely could have been worse this. Series. Before the Campaign Polls showed growing public mistrust with a man who won a resoundingly jordi just 4 years earlier. Then photographs emerged that showed him wearing racist black face makeup as a young man adding to earlier scandals about ethics and accusations of broken promises in the end the canadians gave him another chance tonight canadians rejected division and negativity. They rejected cuts i know a stereotype 10 days voted in favor of a Progressive Agenda and strong archon punk Climate Change. The result is disappointing for the conservative Opposition Leader Andrew Scheer who had been steadily improving his standing with the voters before the campaign he faced his own challenges on the hustings accusations of encouraging fake news and online trolling and revelations that he had dual us Canadian Citizenship and hadnt told the voters he promised to fight on and hold mr trudeau accountable after the 2015 election when Justin Trudeau looked on stoppable when all the pundits and experts said it was the beginning of another trudeau dynasty that he would have 8 or even 12 years in power but tonight conservatives have put Justin Trudeau on notice and mr trudeau when your government falls conservatives will be ready and we will win the. Climate change policy was a strong issue in this election with the conservatives promising to scrap a carbon tax brought in by trudeaus liberals and do more for the countrys oil industry but most voters disagreed and backed candidates including liberals who promised more aggressive steps to fight Global Warming and the changing climate. Call this if you will a strong minority government mr trudeaus opponents may have the numbers to beat him in parliament but there are unlikely to do so canadians wont have to face a fresh general election for some time to come daniel like al jazeera toronto. All politicians in the u. K. Are preparing to vote on legislation that would pave the way for a negotiated exit from the e. U. By the end of the month debate has begun on the Withdrawal Agreement bill although opposition m. P. s fare they arent being given enough time to consider as now even if the bill is approved m. P. s could still vote down the governments tight timetable to secure britains departure of the festival. If politics refuses to allow a picture to happen and instead gets its way in decides to delay everything until january possibly longer in those circumstances can the government continue with and great regret i must go directly to point b. The owner of the gentleman raises a great regret i would almost say that the bill the bill will have to be pulled and we will have to go forward much as the right over there may not like it will have to go forward to a general election now Facebook Says it suspended a counselling to russia and iran which targeted us users with political messages the social media platform says the russians trying to influence voices and swing states such as florida and virginia the account holders pretended to be locals and posted comments targeting both sides of the political spectrum on the scuffing the 2020 president ial candidates alan fisher has moved from the capital. This is all about facebook trying to get its house in order before the 2020 president ial election or at least being seen to try to get its house in order before the 2020 president ial election you remember the platform took a lot of criticism in 2016 for except ing advertising from russia directly and through proxies and many people see that that advertising was misleading and it led to people being misinformed and in some cases was actually dangerous well theyre changing the rules for some political advertising on facebook 1st of all theyre going to flag up anything that is put on there by state funded media the say that that is going to follow the example that has been set by you choose which introduced that practice recently they are also going to flag up any videos or pictures they see are false and misleading or partly misleading and this comes in response to a number of democratic president ial candidates who have been criticizing facebook quite vociferously over the last few days a lizabeth war and a front runner among them and interestingly on monday facebook also announced it had suspended a number of accounts with direct links to russia and also to iran you know there are some cynics who would suggest that the timing of this is all very convenient because Mark Zuckerberg is due to appear on capitol hill on wednesday hes not planned to talk about elections and political advertising instead hes going to talk about the new Digital Currency that facebook is intending to introduce something that could make the company a significant amount of money.
