Will commit to the deal to the terms of the agreement we still need to see on the ground what happens particularly in teller a fight and ben thats for many years the kurds were saying there is absolutely no way we will retreat from those areas which are part of the territory that the kurds say is part of their homeland in north east and western parts of syria. Many thanks i was there is hashing out of there on the turkey syria border meeting about syrias constitution is about to begin in geneva it aims to repair the fractures that many believe led to the civil war on tuesday Foreign Ministers from Turkey Russia and iran all key players in the conflict met in geneva to welcome the initiative but they will be present during tuesdays to during wednesdays discussions the group was formed after 18 months of work by the un the Syrian Government and the main opposition bloc diplomatic editor james bays reports now from geneva. This is going to be an Important Development the opening of this Constitutional Committee but i think the un is well aware that this is a sensitive time as well weve been allowed to stand here to watch the delegations arrive here 24 hours ago when they came for meetings we werent allowed to watch the arrival of the delegations the government delegation opposition delegation and Civil Society delegation were actually told we filmed them arriving then we would have our credentials revoked i think that shows that the u. N. Very sensitive about what is going to happen in this process it comes out of a meeting in january 28th scene and its taken all the time since to draw up these lists particularly the Civil Society lists the meeting originally that drew this up was a russian turkey iran meeting at such and those have been the driving countries behind this process the Foreign Ministers of those 3 countries were here in geneva but theyre not coming to the Opening Event and thats because i think the u. N. Doesnt want it to be seen as the product of just those countries they want to show the primacy of the un in this process and there they want to show that its a syrian led syrian own process its going to be very difficult though coming up with a new constitution key issues like the role of the presidency and the current president president assad has shown that he is ruthlessly prepared to cling on to power using torture using barrel bombs over an 8 year long civil war in syria this will be a difficult process that is about to start now.

A top adviser to donald trump gives a firsthand account of a controversial phone call between the u. S. President and his ukrainian counterpart and in sport the n. B. A. Superstar who played a game just hours after being moved to safety from his home in. The findings of a Public Inquiry into londons kornfeld. Been released 72 people were killed in the tragedy 2 years ago it was the biggest single loss of life in london since the 2nd world war the report says that one of the major failings was a fire brigade policy called stay put residents were advised by telephone to stay in their apartments and wait for rescue instead of being told to escape the report also accuses the brigades commission danny cotton of remarkable insensitivity the saying that she wouldnt have changed the way her team responded to the tragedy investigation also concludes the fire started due to electrical fault in the refrigerator it says the flames spread quickly because the building because of the Building Material used to crowd the outside of ground lets call the west london home is therefore as job of this report that pretty damning about the fire service whats been the response. Adrian we expect the london fire brigade to issue its response of some point on wednesday but the Fire Brigades Union has responded to was as you pointed out it was really a litany of criticism aimed at the fossil of the fire response identifying serious short sexual coming systemic failures that sum up mobic the retired judge in charge of the inquiry said led directly to the high death toll matts racoons the head of the 5 grades union has said this morning that while the fire brigade isnt trying to shy away or hide from any of these failings he felt that this building was a death trap already by the time firefighters arrived on the night and that is because of this highly flammable cladding that was attached to the outside rain screen it was in a recent renovation with a polyethylene core highly combustible that essentially sent the flames up the outside of the building very quickly and out of the control of the 5 fires is inside that said the report traces the work of firefighters on the night for their bravery for their determination but does highlight serious failings a lack of training in the ability to combat a fire of this sort in a high rise building lessons not learnt from a previous 510 years ago in east london in similar circumstances and crucially as you mentioned that stay put order or advice used on the night often used by firefighters where they believe people are safe in an implicit closed space in a closed room or apartment than they would be trying to evacuate through smoke filled corridors and stairways that stay put order was only lifted 2 hours off the firefighters arrived here because they simply hadnt appreciated the way this fire was spreading the speed with which it was spreading and of course 2 hours later it was far too late for many of the people inside. And want to know has been the reaction from People Living nearby are they satisfied we spoke to a lot of people in the community here on balance i mean look Everybody Knows this is phase one of the reports 2 and a half years since this fire theres a level of frustration here of course phase one looks at the events of the night phase 2 is yet to come next year which looks at the circumstances that led to the fire the conditions of the building the fire Safety Measures inside the application of that planning the decisions made by councillors the Tenant Organization the contractors involved the people that in this community that the community believes were directly responsible for the circumstances that led to this fire so frustration that theyre not at that point yet that people are not being held accountable who were actually responsible in their view and of course not to mention that a Police Investigation cant complete until after phase 2 is completed so theres still a long way here on the ground in this Community Among residents among survivors from getting real justice for what happened at ground 0 tony thanks natives there is john a home live there in west london british m.

Alexander venom an is a u. S. Army colonel wounded in iraq veteran and the 1st impeachment witness with firsthand knowledge of the july phone call between President Trump and the ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelinsky then man was among the white house staff listening when trump said to the ukrainian leader i would like you to do west a favor publicly investigate trumps political rival joe biden and a Company Called charisma that employed by tin son i was concerned by the call binman said in his written testimony i did not think it was proper to demand that a Foreign Government investigate a us citizen i was worried about the implications for the Us Government support of ukraine i realized that if ukraine pursued an investigation into the bidens and it would likely be interpreted as a partisan play which would undoubtedly result in ukraine losing the bipartisan support it has thus far maintained this would all undermine u. S. National security the newly elected selenski was hoping to schedule a visit to the white house and ukraine was waiting for u. S. Military aid needed to fend off russia but trump temporarily withheld the aid as his advisors continued to push ukraine to investigate the democrats and biden. This is about the United States constitution this is about the rule of law this is about National Security this is about abuse of power this is about the fact that the president betrayed his oath of office and the American People trump has denied wrongdoing and attack the credibility of witnesses who cooperated with the inquiry that earned a rare rebuke from a fellow republican i think that we need to show that we are better than that as a nation their patriotism their love of country were talking about decorated veterans who have served this nation who have put their lives on the line and it is shameful to question their patriotism their love of this nation. House democrats plan to vote on thursday to formally authorize this impeachment inquiry even though it has been underway for several weeks so why do the vote now democrats say its to deflate the republican argument that this inquiry lacks legitimacy because it was never voted upon and are to potentially open these closed door impeachment proceedings to the public castro aljazeera washington firefighters in Northern California battling a growing wildfire that has destroyed more than 100 homes and is threatening thousands war residents in the wine country are being warned that more orders to move to safety could come at any moment in the south strong overnight winds are expected to fuel another blaze burning on the outskirts of los angeles lets give update now on the situation from james gray who joins us live from Los Angeles Jay whats the latest.

Yes thinks is so she examined after russia understood the urgency of turkey and the legitimate right of turkey to defend us borders and the urgency to expel terrorist p k k from the region we had 150 hours and this process is over now and russia just made an announcement that speak a k has been expelled from the region so turkish and russian patrols will be in the region soon to make sure that there is secure. Our will to safeguard the this safe zone and. The return of refugees which is in the agreement how i will turkey facilities so hes packing passage of refugees working towards some sort of permanent solution for a return to the homeland so we have to object of some of the beginning actually we wanted to secure our borders then we wanted to create a safe zone for civilians in primarily in syria and because they have nowhere else to go and we also want to give option to all syrians for dinner in turkey or in syria if they want to go back to their country now they have a safe place where they can go back to so turkey will and turkish and russian patrols will be there to make sure that the area is safe because we dont want terrorists. To harm people displaced them and kill civilians again what does this agreement tell us about the relationship between turkey and russia.

President trumps decision brought widespread criticism even from his closest allies one of them republican Lindsey Graham said after the house floor that he was ready to take up the measure in the u.

T. s forces who helped his destroy isis against turkish aggression it was a bad couple of hours for the turkish government the sanctions vote coming after the house voted to recognize the mass killing of armenians by autumn and turks during the 1st world war as genocide we can say that the Ottoman Empire committed this grotesque crime against the armenians but their campaign of extermination failed and above all we will never forget. It will never again be silenced tuckey denies there was a campaign to kill armenians and is rejected the idea there was an orchestrated operation. Tells us is that their relationship is very young trouble. Jerusha position in washington was fractured before but ever since the fateful decision present trouble at present i dont want to over 6 period to wait for the duration ration in syria there has been great opposition officially the vote in the house of representatives is not legally binding its not going to be raised in the senate anytime soon so theyll be nothing for donald trump to sign so the official u. S. Position remains that what happened at the end of the autumn an empire at the end of the force world war remains an atrocity and not a genocide alan fischer aljazeera washington. Facebook is suing an israeli Cyber Surveillance Firm for allegedly hacking uses of its encrypted messaging Service Whatsapp the lawsuit filed in San Francisco is the 1st legal action of its kind according to Facebook Facebook says the n. S. A. Group hacked into the phones of roughly 1400 users targeting human rights activists political dissidents and journalists Omar Abdel Aziz is a friend of saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi who was killed inside the saudi arabia consulate in istanbul in 2018 last december he filed a lawsuit against an s. O. S. Saying that the hacking of my phone played a major role in what happened to jamal. Group has not directed tonight hacking whatsapp but said it disputes the allegations and vowed to vigorously fight them its going to be on this for marco instead his chief analyst for Digital Services of japan he joins us now via skype from tokyo good to have you with us what do you make of those denials from the n. S. O. Group that it stung nothing wrong here well i dont have any specific information about you know so whether or not theyve been involved in this directly or not but this company is a company that sells spyware to governments and in latin america in the middle east and in other places so while i think its possible i still think were going to need to see a little bit more of the evidence that behind these allegations in this lawsuit so they could possibly argue that as long as this kind of behavior is ok with the governments of the countries in which theyre working then its it is within the law. Thats probably going to be their argument and i would also point out that this lawsuit was filed in San Francisco and what kind of jurisdiction they may or may not have holder an Israeli Company over something that happened in the 3rd country is also somewhat dubious i would say but i got a bit of the whatsapp was supposed to be pretty secure and not hackable but that its and 12. Thats what i think is the real story every time you look at whats happened you send a message you see a message on your screen saying that yes dont worry this is and encrypted but now the companys coming out and saying well but actually we were hacked and were suing somebody so the key message here to consumers to businesses and to governments is that these apps that youre using that youre probably sending Sensitive Information on every day are not nearly as secure as they claim that they are and that you think that they are. All that any messaging apps that that all secure the those of us who are security conscious could use without you know and trust the government on spying on us yeah so i think nothing is technically foolproof is the 1st thing that i would say but i think that what weve also seen a lot of use is the app telegram the hong kong protesters are using this and a lot of other social movements around the world have been using telegram because of the fact that theyre not storing data on a central server which i think is one of the leading secure apps out there at the moment margaret a good story too many thanks indeed not correspond there in tokyo.
