Now on bbc news, simon mccoy reports from the cornish port of penzance Kurdish Forces in syria say theyve pulled out of a key strategic town in the northeast, after a temporary truce put an end to fierce fighting. Turkey says its attempting to create a 20 mile safe zone in areas of kurdish control, after President Trump pulled us troops out of the area. Kurdish fighters are now reported to have left ras al ain, on the syrian side of the border, along with huge numbers of fleeing civilians. Our correspondent, aleem maqbool, has sent us this report from inside Northern Syria. Souad mohammed is numb. Shes been that way since seeing in a morgue the mutilated body of her daughter. The brutal killing of havrin khalaf, a kurdish politician, by Turkish Backed militants, is now being investigated as a war crime. I feel i want to burn down this home, she tells me, because the memories of my daughter are everywhere, and its too hard to bear. Her whole life is playing like a movie in my mind. She told me she blamed turkey and america for her loss. It was the announcement of the withdrawal of these american troops from Northern Syria that precipitated this crisis and, in effect, gave turkey the green light to invade. That us withdrawal is now very much in motion, a sorry end to what had been an Effective Partnership that won back all the territory controlled by the Islamic State group. Kurdish forces lost thousands of fighters in that campaign. Now, some of the same combatants who survived the long battle against is are dying at the hands of turkey. I think we managed to defeat isis all over north and east syria. And it was not something easy. And i think what is happening now is a betrayal for the sacrifices that they have gave and they provided for the security and stability of the area. Well, for all the talk of ceasefires on the front line and diplomacy, quickly their lives were turned upside down. And those we speak to tell us they have very little faith that the world will come to help relieve their suffering. So, instead, they continue to flee for their lives in huge numbers. Camps for the displaced near the iraq syria border, that were all but emptied, are full again. Some families here told us they didnt leave their homes in the days of is, but felt compelled to now. Theyre afraid of meeting the same fate as havrin khalaf. When over recent years, so many thousands of kurdish mothers have already had to bury their children. Aleem maqbool, bbc news, in North Eastern syria. Earlier i asked aykan erdemir, a a senior fellow at the thinktank, foundation for defense of democracies in washington, if he thought the withdrawal from ras al ain would be enough for turkey. I think there has been some deliberate ambiguity i think there has been some strategic ambiguity in the ceasefire agreement between the us and erdogan. The sdf is agreeing to a much limited withdrawal, not entirely 450km across the border, and i think this is really going to be decisive whether a limited safe zone will be ok for turkey for the time being, or whether there will be a further push beyond that, and that could determine the extent of fighting and what the us congress will do to push against that and what assad and Vladimir Putin will see as an opportunity to intervene. You say a limited safe zone may be more realistic, but president erdogan has promised people in turkey that he is going to get the entire safe zone. Surely people will say to him you havent achieved what you you want to get a limited safe zone . Erdogan has demonstrated he has strategic patience, this has been the third cross border operation, and there can always be a fourth one and fifth one. So hes taking his time to extend his area of control, and he also has other projects at hand. One is relocating refugees into this pocket, Start Building homes for them, which would be a boost to his struggling Construction Partners back in turkey, so there are multiple steps to his strategy in this area and possibly at this time, he could see this as enough for the time being. Just picking up on one of the points you raise there. His proposal to move Syrian Refugees from the south of turkey into a proposed safe zone. I mean, there are several million refugees in turkey. Is it really realistic for him to expect to be able to move all those people across a border . Now the number he presented at the united General Assembly address was 3 million of the 3. 6 million syrians in turkey would be resettled. I think everyone knows this is near impossible and there is also a 26 billion tablet which no one would like to take. A 26 billion tab which no one would like to take. But nevertheless, for erdogan, even with a small group would help with him basically quelling the anti refugee sentiment at home. I think he would see this as a long term project to not only to address the populist uprising in turkey, but also as an opportunity to change the demographics on the Turkish Border to create an arab majority area, which is part of his understanding of a safe zone. Aykan erdemir in washington. In the past hour, chile has announced its extending the state of emergency to cities in the north and south. Rioting has continued in in spite of a curfew imposed for a second consecutive night. Protesters have clashed with police in many areas of the capital, santiago.

The curfew to end unrest has been extended for a second night. Translation i am convinced that democracy not only has the right, but has the obligation to defend itself using all the instruments that democracy provides, and the rule of law. To combat those who want to destroy it. Protests began after a rise in ticket prices for the capitals metro, a decision which has been reversed. But anger has widened among the huge inequality between the rich and the poor. Parts of santiagos transport system have been destroyed. But on sunday, residents help with the clean up. But on sunday, residents helped with the clean up. Translation it would have been nice if everyone came down and banged on pots and protested other ways, but this . Not even when we have the conflict with pinochet did we touch the metro. We know the matter is for us. Now look at this. This is sad for all of us that we are helping to clean up.

Lets get some of the days other news with most of the vote in bolivias general election counted, president evo morales has failed to win enough votes to avoid a second round. He is ahead of his main rival, carlos mesa, but hes not leading by enough for an outright victory. They will now go head to head in a run off in december. The speaker of britains lower house of parliament, john bercow, is expected to reject an attempt by the government to hold another vote on its brexit deal on monday. Its understood that mr bercow believes allowing the vote to go ahead would defy parliamentary convention. Lebanons Coalition Government is reported to have agreed on wide ranging Economic Reforms after the biggest protests in decades swept the country. The proposals involve privatising some companies, scrapping new taxes and halving the salaries of top officials. The protests had been triggered by a new tax on calls over the internet. After two weeks of relative calm in hong kong, hundreds of pro democracy protesters have clashed with police, firing tear gas and using water canon. Shops, banks and metro stations have been vandalised. Mass protests began back injune, against proposals to allow extradition to mainland china. Critics worried the move would undermine hong kongs autonomy. The citys chief executive put the plans on hold, but the protests developed into wider demonstrations forfull democracy, and an inquiry into alleged police brutality. Then last month the extradition bill was finally withdrawn, but protestors continue to march despite restrictions. Our South East Asia correspondent, nick beake, has the latest from hong kong. They were told they werent allowed to march today. They were threatened with prison if they wore a mask. And they were warned by chinas leader there would be broken bones for those who try to break up his country. But this is a Pro Democracy Movement that believes the world is on its side and its not backing down. We are here to fight for freedom and we are not scared about the Chinese Communist party. We want our freedom and human rights. But once again, peaceful protest gave way to petrol bombs, with police stations under attack. This is what eventually cleared the hardcore activists, who then rampaged through the streets, targeting chinese businesses. They fought the police late into the night. For a 20th consecutive weekend of unrest here in hong kong, the police are really struggling to control the streets here. They brought out the water cannon. The protesters are not going home. The question is the one weve been asking forfive months now. When does this end . How does this end . Hong kongs government claims a housing crisis has unleashed this cycle of violence, but these protesters say its their deep fear of the type of place theyll be living in under greater chinese control, which means they wont be giving up. Nick beake, bbc news, hong kong. Campaigning for mondays elections in canada has seen the Prime Minister, justin trudeau, fight a fierce battle to cling onto power. As leader of the liberal party, he took office four years ago, but has recently been implicated in a series of scandals that have left him neck and neck in the race, with the opposition conservative party. Our chief international correspondent, lyse doucet, reports from the campaign trail. The big smile, the style that shot a political star into power and onto the world stage. But now its back to basics. Justin trudeau, cradling babies as he fights for his political life. Why is it so much harderfor you, Prime Minister trudeau, this time, than it was four years ago . What went wrong for you . I would tend to disagree. Four years ago, a 79 day campaign was extremely difficult. And campaigns should be difficult. This is an opportunity to get out and speak with as many canadians as possible. His conservative challenger, andrew scheer, calls him a fraud. On the left, the Ndps Jagmeet Singh is trying to claim trudeaus progressive mantle. The greens also look set to gain. Climate change epitomises trudeaus trouble. He approved a new pipeline to move canadas vast oil wealth to this western shore, and offset it with environmental safeguards and a big climate plan. But critics say climate champions dont build pipelines. Over 200 people were arrested, standing right here. 22 year old hayley zacks is a leading activist. The under 35s are now the biggest voting block, and some feel let down. I think a lot of us were persuaded byjustin trudeau in the last election. He was young, he was making all of these great promises. He hasnt come through on the promises that we voted him for, for climate action. He said he was a feminist, we havent seen that in action. Trudeau mania hasnt died. He still draws crowds. Supporters ready to forgive, even scandals like the brownface photos which surfaced. Everyone deserves a second chance. I know certain things like this can happen. And thats with everyone. I mean, nobodys perfect. Of course, i dont agree with those things. But i really, really see a better side of him right now. In many ways, this election is a referendum onjustin trudeau. On the world stage, his star still shines on issues like gender equality and refugees. Here in canada, his brand has taken a beating. The celebrity who once promised a different kind of politics is now battling just to stay in power. Trudeau may still prevail, with a much smaller margin and with less magic. In one of the closest races canada has ever seen. Lyse doucet, bbc news, montreal.

Michael miller is executive chairman of News Corp Australasia hejoins us now from sydney ican i can see you have the newspapers, the blacked out newspapers in front of you. What you hope to achieve . The blacked out newspapers in front of you. What you hope to achieve 7m a democracy there is a responsibility of government to be open and transparent with the public, the people who bowed them in and pay for them. And since 2001 we have seen less 75 is of legislation that have restricted journalists being able to openly communicate what is going on in government. And increasingly we see that governments are becoming more secretive and stamping top secret on documents that they just do stamping top secret on documents that theyjust do not stamping top secret on documents that they just do not wish stamping top secret on documents that theyjust do not wish to be exposed to the people who vote the men. I imagine there are many stories at the moment that you cannot publish or even discuss with us how on our cannot publish or even discuss with us now on ourfor cannot publish or even discuss with us now on our for legal reasons but can you think of an example from the past of a story you wanted to go with but could not because of restrictions . There are many stories which we ask for freedom of information and it comes back redacted and blacked out. That inspired the todays front pages. Notjust us inspired the todays front pages. Not just us but inspired the todays front pages. Notjust us but several Media Organisations to readily competitors and this has become a case of enough is enough.

We are seeing change process not change in legislation. We see stories of whistleblowers being intimidated, Government Employees who are being intimidated not to provide media with information about issues that concerns them. Australia is ranked 21 in the world, slightly down from 19 but it is still high and the australian Prime Minister says journalists cannot be above the law. Does he have a point . He is right but no one should be above the law. The government should not be using the lack of scrutiny to hide their secrecy the lack of scrutiny to hide their secrecy either. How are you going to get the public on your side . The government was re elected this year. It was not an election issue. The public, this campaign is not about press freedom, it is about the australian public s right to know. And throughout the 300 papers today we have localised issues that impacted a council level, at a State Government level, what australians are not being able to hear. And they are not being able to hear. And they are historical cases which we have been able to illustrate what is being held back in the media and the lack of scrutiny and the reason why we see government hide behind these decisions.

Some quiet weather around, at least to start this week, and thats in sharp contrast to what weve had for much of october so far which is an active jetstream, low pressure after low pressure, and rain. In fact, for england and wales, all of the average october rainfall has fallen already this month with 11 days to go. Very wet in north east england. Scotland and Northern Ireland, some way to go to get the average october rainfall and it is here we will see the wettest weather as we go through the week. But as i mentioned earlier, its quiet to start the week because we have an area of High Pressure moving in. That said, there is still low pressure close to east anglia and south east england for monday, that will bring some rain. In terms of the weather feel to begin the day, chilly in Northern Ireland but especially in scotland with parts of rural aberdeenshire down to minus three to start the day. A milder start for england and wales with a lot of cloud around. Still this north easterly breeze with a few showers and outbreaks of rain towards the far south east, more especially parts of kent, essex, coastal suffolk and norfolk. You may still see a few spots further inland as well. Some outbreaks of rain edging towards the Northern Isles late in the day with a freshening south westerly wind. Temperatures around 10 14 degrees. Some sunny spells developing more widely as we go on through the day. It will actually be a chilly night for england and wales going into Tuesday Morning with winds light here. There will be some fog patches developing. They could be dense in some places, just bear them in mind. Out of the Tuesday Morning commute, High Pressure is still here, very few isobars indicating the light winds. A breezier picture for scotland, Northern Ireland and parts of northern england. A fair amount of cloud around on tuesday. Most will be dry but we will have outbreaks of rain in the far north of scotland, a few sunny spells after that early fog clears away for the rest of england and wales and temperatures are actually edging up a few degrees. Taking a look at the big picture for wednesday, low pressure is getting closer and there is also a weak weather front heading towards the south east. Weather fronts are coming in. The more substantial rain from these will be heading into Northern Ireland and heading into scotland especially into the west, could see a few showers from the other whether front towards east anglia and the south east. In between the two, there will be this zone here of dry, sunnier weather and temperatures around about the mid low teens. Thats how the start of the week is looking, quiet to start with, and for mid week, well, it is back to some rain at times in scotland and Northern Ireland, whereas for england and wales, pressure remains higher so the quieter weather holds on. Not much in the way of fresh rainfall on the way but remember, 00 28 45,178 2147483051 51 07,304 there will be a few fog 2147483051 51 07,304 4294966103 13 29,430 patches occasionally
