Times to be so much gun thats got to have you with us turkey is set to launch its long planned offensive against kurdish fighters in Northern Syria the u. S. Has reportedly started withdrawing troops from the area clearing the way for the incursion to go ahead. Now u. S. Troops were stationed close to the border with turkey where they were supporting Kurdish Forces in the fight against the socalled Islamic State turkey sees these Kurdish Militias as terrorists on sunday kurdish groups in the region held a mass demonstration against the turkish offensive they feel abandoned by their u. S. Backers washington says it will not get involved in turkeys plans. And lets get the latest on the story day that is really is in istanbul for us hi yulia why is this happening now. Well this is basically u. S. President donald trump suddenly making way for turkeys military operation in the north and syria this definitely comes as a surprise and it follows developments late last night a phone call between trump and turkeys president. To which the white house published a statement saying that turkey will soon move forward with its long planned military operation in north east syria and that u. S. Forces will not support or be involved in it and what we are seeing on the ground is that u. S. Troops have started in the morning withdrawing from areas in the north and syria areas that are so far controlled by Syrian Kurdish militia and this is actually you know a major shift a stunning reversal of u. S. Policy in syria because washington had so far significantly supported these Syrian Kurdish militia and considered them the most Effective Group in the fight against the socalled Islamic State while turkey actually considered as them terrorists and that was the the reason for major disagreement between washington and cry in the past month and now it seems ankara god what it wanted what will happen now uli or are we going to see Turkish Forces move into the area. There are actually many many on questions right now concerning the scale and the timeframe of this Turkish Military operation the Turkish Military has reinforced troops it has pulled together and pulled over more military equipment so they say they are basically ready and they are just awaiting orders but it also remains to be seen whats coming next from washington because its safe to assume that President Trump doesnt have full support on this from the administration from some very high ranking and important people within the pentagon its safe to assume that this is basically President Trump coming up with a decision that needs further talking in washington so its going to be interesting what well hear next from washington and youll hear just quickly here the kurds say they feel like theyre being abandoned tell us more about their reaction. Well they have condemned the u. S. Has moved there saying that and i quote them here it will have a great negative impact on the fight against the socalled Islamic State they are not the only ones a very concerned the u. N. The u. N. Secretary and coordinator in syria has also warned parties of causing a major displacement off civilians in the area he said we dont know whats going to happen next but we are prepared for the worst so many concerns you many open questions all right our correspondent reporting for us from istanbul thank you. Well turkeys planned offensive has put residents of Northern Syria on edge people there are preparing for the worst but many are determined to stay even if it means risking death. Every time one mohamed goes up to his roof he feels uneasy the border to turkey is less than 100 meters away from their people watch him occasionally gunshots fired but the 19 year old says it doesnt intimidate him. We wont leave our land even if a huge hassle wed rather die. As a border town with a turbulent history 350000 people live here 60 percent of the population are kurds the rest are ribs it is considered the birthplace of the Kurdish Militia group. In 2011 they rose up against syrian president Bashar Al Assad driving his troops out of the city a year later they defeated the jihadist al nusra front hundreds of kurdish fighters died the people here are proud of the independence they gained but. Happy and content more than ever before without the Kurdish Forces keeping order here. But their independence is under threat once more turkish president retch up tired out on his move troops and weaponry to the border he sees the y p g as a terrorist organization that needs to be wiped out. At a Party Meeting on saturday he left no doubt about his intentions. The operation is imminent maybe today maybe tomorrow the road peace efforts. The kurds had tried to appease a safe zone was established along the border spanning 100 kilometers an agreement was reached between to. The usa and the kurds in september but the y. P. G. Withdrew from that agreement now turkish and u. S. Troops are patrolling the safe zone. Lies in the middle of it. Mohammad muslim is assembling metal parts for his neighbors the kurds has seen assads troops withdraw joe hardest fighters defeated now the 35 year old fear is an invasion by turkish troops. More than an animal to them in a safe zone should be safe but this one isnt its a recipe for chaos. Also worrying residents saw at the ones plans to resettle 1000000 Syrian Refugees from turkey to rise a line but there was talk of relocating kurds elsewhere to accommodate them. Not an amount of money and we havent left our homeland since the war began at a minimum we were shot at by rocket some by grenades but we stayed and we will stay even if we have to die on one of. The people of russell and refused to bow down after all they have been through even if they would barely stand a chance against bad ones army. Hong kong police have arrested and charged 2 protesters for defying the ban on wearing space masks during demonstrations the protestors are the 1st 2 people to be charged under the new law outside the courthouse supporters used embroil us to protect the protesters identities as they were ushered away the ban on face masks has further fueled days of violent protests in hong kong our correspondent charlotte shell some tell us been speaking to activists on the streets of hong kong she sent us this report. The chaos now also widespread its verging on the surreal. The anger so deep its becoming harder and harder to escape. Authorities say it seems like this to justify sweeping new emergency palace. I but house in the streets the ban on face mosques is having little effect with protestors warning is just the tip of the iceberg. I think people say it 1st pays that theyve even cry they are part of the law and i think theres much much more to come no one is a great deal more and more angry but you never know what the government will put up there was a lot and im just worried about the whole called off. Tenure chan is among a number of prodemocracy lawmakers challenging the emergency during cool she says it gives chief executive kerry lam Unlimited Power to impose what she calls authoritarian measures this is a very very dangerous situation its really taking away our freedoms our human rights and its a pure violation of one country 2 system and basic law so no more separation of powers even legislature is under the control of. The room a male is now in a drive many paranoid about what could come next possibilities range from extending how long rested protesters can be detained for to restricting access to Communication Networks and a curfew measures whose reach would extend far beyond the protests on the streets with much of the was violence taking place late into the Evening Police the pushing for a cafe here in particular that many of the Entertainment Industry wanted that to take and even grates its hold on local businesses. And restaurants already suffering with locals and tourists alike often prefer to keep away. One Industry Insider tells me a curfew would put even more jobs at risk. You buy a computer imo if those people lose their jobs to have no idea what to do what can they do because the government want them to join the protesters is that what the government wants. To know my war. With protesters and authorities both refusing to back down and many in hong kong say the worst is yet to come. Oh oh. Lets check in now and some other stories making news around the world at least 12 antigovernment demonstrators were killed on sunday in ongoing protests in baghdad taking the death toll above 100. 00 since clashes started on tuesday iraqs Prime Minister idol has announced social measures designed to appease the protesters including new housing and job training.

Portugals socialists have claimed victory in sundays parliamentary election but they fell short of an outright majority Prime Minister antonio costa said he would start talks with other parties to form a coalition he has benefited from solid Economic Growth following years of austerity. The climate activist Group Extinction Rebellion has kicked off worldwide protests warning of an environmental apocalypse police in london have arrested more than 100. 00 protesters blocking the streets there and here in berlin activists have gathered at a major intersection of the citys stop stopping traffic and marching towards the government district demonstrators want leaders to take stronger action on the climate and are demanding Greenhouse Gas emissions are cut down to net 0 by 2025. And lets go to our correspondent simon young he is here in berlin covering these protests for us hi simon give us an idea of whats been happening where you are. Yes sumi a largely peaceful and good natured demonstration here with several 100 Extinction Rebellion protesters gathered at the victory column thats a key traffic roundabout in the center of berlin not far from the Brandenburg Gate so as you say they have stopped traffic here i wouldnt say that paralyzed traffic across the city the police of have a blind by blocking the roads here so telling motorists to go elsewhere use other routes but the point of this demonstration clearly to attract Media Attention as well as to disrupt traffic the intersection here would normally be full of cars and trucks and buses all day long there have been stead of that songs and games and slogans and speeches we just had a speech from a coverall oreck a to an Extinction Rebellion activist and you might also remember her earlier this year she was captaining a ship rescuing migrants trying to get from libya to italy but shes been giving an impassioned speech describing the effects of Climate Change and as you say a climate catastrophe and calling for action simon what exactly are these activists hoping to achieve with this type of civil disobedience. Yes well disruption of course attracts the attention both positive and negative i think a lot of people here in berlin and across germany are broadly sympathetic to the idea that more needs to be done that perhaps the government has not been ambitious enough so far in its climate protection targets so there is some support in the mainstream as well for these protests but clearly when people are able to use their cause and move around as freely as they would otherwise that raises questions the police have taken a very relaxed approach here just watching and waiting and it remains to be seen some of these protesters say they just want to stay here for days it remains to be seen whether the police will allow that to happen i suspect not famine you mentioned one of the aims is to drive governments to act lets take a look at germanys climate plan for the package that is to be adopted this week has been heavily criticized. It was touted as a major step when under markos coalition presented its new climate protection law. But now the German Government has reportedly will sit down the climate bill shortly before its set to be adopted. According to a report by german newspaper desh beagle the government has cut the goal to limit national c o 2 emissions by 24. And the final draft drops the pledge that germany would reach Greenhouse Gas neutrality by 2050 instead it only says this goal should be pursued and forced measures have also been weakened and an annual Progress Report by germanys newly formed Climate Council might be scrapped in september merkels coalition agreed on nor to reach germanys climate goals by 2030 climate activists and political opponents have criticized the original draft as insufficient. So simon how disappointed are people there about the German Governments plans. Well one protester here told me that people here was shocked they havent been terribly impressed by the original plan the governments plans to roll out climate protection and do more over the coming decades but now these are reports that have emerged today in the media saying that the targets are going to be less ambitious and possibly the monitoring is going to be less stringent well i think people here are very disappointed its clear that these people are demanding much more action much more quickly all right our correspondent simon young are reporting on the story for us thank you simon now the nobel prize for medicine has been jointly awarded to 3 scientists william kaylin and greg cements of the u. S. And Peter Radcliffe from the u. K. Theyve been chosen because of their pioneering discoveries of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability this is the 1st prize announced by the Nobel Committee this year. Now we have Derek Williams from the debut science but thats high carrick tell us who these 3 scientists are and why they won with these 3 researchers back in the 1990 s. Looked into the genetic reasons for for how cells react to the availability of oxygen now every organism on earth needs oxygen we need them for fundamental metabolic processes and actually an earlier recipient of this prize back in the 1930 s. Won the prize for describing the process of how of how that works how suit is turned with the help of oxygen into energy but the question of availability and how the cells within the body react to availability of of oxygen that was something that was happening at a genetic level that nobody really quite understood and so this work is really about that fundamental process how does the cell know theres not enough oxygen there or i have enough oxygen in order to do a whole wide range of things including things for example an exercise to provide enough oxygen to the muscles at the right time in order to get the energy to the muscle ok so very important work was it expected that they would win. Well its it was surprising i read the websites like everyone who works in this in this particular area i read the websites and the predictions and and they werent in the top 3 but that said its no surprise that it is a surprise because theres so much fantastic work thats out there thats actually worthy of a nobel prize and and will you can break down the nobel prizes into sort of 2 categories one is something thats delivered is research thats delivered a tool for example an antibiotics or something in that direction or the fundamental basic research that tells us how things work and so much of science is about learning how things work and thats what these researchers did they taught us more about how this particular process works which is so fundamental to so many metabolic processes so what does this research actually deliver then to us and how can it be used well theres a theres a whole list i mean. Less metabolism exercise Embryonic Development immune response wound healing infection heart attacks the list goes on and on as i said oxygen and its availability affects everything really and when it comes to life and so diseases like anemia but also cancer for example in the Drugs Industry cancer cells cause through using some of these fundamental processes they the tumor can call cause the body to create blood vessels to feed the tumor and by certain Drug Companies of have focused on those mechanisms if you can block that that development then you can possibly help strangle the tumor or at least contain it and so they would have been able to do that without understanding these fundamental kinetic things that are going on when it comes to oxygen availability and thats what these researchers did all right Derek Williams from d. W. Science thank you so much for joining us here in our studio sports now and we have new leaders in Germanys Bundesliga afterbirth mentioned gladbach rocketed from 6th to 1st they took over at the top thanks to a win over oxford. The bridge where the ring glove back couldnt kill the mood in brissie apart when the falls were ready for a party the much was less than 2 minutes old when marcus tearoom sets up dennis south korea to go number 15 pm spoke defense was sliced apart old to easily just a few minutes later bloodbath repeated the trick. By this time it was allison player from the left finding patrick have them for the finish and in the 13th minute the same combination made it 3 to 5 rinse and repeat that 5 were on fire house but wish on both. If their coach Martin Schmidt thought it couldnt get any worse what he saw next will of left him dumbfounded. By glad i didnt need a boost but i was but a keeper thomas kobe gave one anyway. Im sure nearly half the time and a 100 seymour galloping to victory. Hausberg did finally have reason to cheer in the 81st minute. Florian need alesha pounced on a loose ball to give the visitors a consolation goal but brill and below them scored a 5th goal for glass but to roundoff and me perfect for the hosts 51 the final score a game that left out the drenched and defeated and mention got back sitting pretty at the top of the table. In basketball the Houston Rockets have apologized to china for a tweet that supported hong kong some ocracy protests now the tweet from a Team Official has since been deleted but it read fight for freedom stand with hong kong and our Jonathan Crane from the to the sports is here to tell us more about the story hi jonathan lets start with the apology this sounds like some serious backpedaling it is. After that treats on friday that was supporting the protests and rockets and out from the end damage limitation made as you say division has been deleted but daryl morey the general manager who treated it has been apologizing over the weekend this is what hes had to say he said he didnt intend is a regional tweets of course and the offense in china i was merely voicing one thought based on one in separate taishan of one complicated event hell say why did he consider the other perspectives one of those perspectives out there this is hugely embarrassing for the Houston Rockets ironically its because of the Houston Rockets that possible has become so popular in china thats why you down so one man yeah probably chinas most famous sporting x. 40 spent a decade fighting for the Houston Rockets a brilliant now that current stop james harden has been apologizing on behalf of the team he goes to china quite regularly to promote hes brand of train as this is what he had to say about his neighbor apologising. You know. That with the title of the new play and there. Are no words for both of us individually we go there you know once twice a year and they show us the most important of so and we appreciate that as a fan base and we love everything you know theyre about it and you know we appreciate the support that they give us individually and as an organisation so. So deep apologies across the board here why are we seeing this china is such a huge market for sporting organizations based for sports teams going on tour there was the n. B. A. Teams trying to play a match this weekend sports federations as well they want vents that and i think the key thing is this is a growing market in a t. V. Rights sponsorship and also a fan base because we consider chinas population is 1300000000 if you have 10 percent of the population interested in what youre doing thats a loss of people and the n. B. A. Costs and owns this quite quickly theyve been trying to build up networks in china for about 3 decades now and as a result of that they say its the most popular sport in the country 300000000 people. Plays basketball thats the same as the populations the United States is an awful lot of people and a lot of people that you need to keep happy all right so looking at this controversy what has the fall out and well Chinese Companies have been very quick to sever ties with the houston record. Brands leading the chinese bank back thats its main chinese sponsor and also the chinese. I mentioned he is now the chairman of the Chinese StateBoard Association and they have also suspended their links we dont know if this is a thing obviously these companies in china have the under the influence of the Chinese States as well but to show how big the story is 0. 10 the internet streaming giant recently announced a 1500000500000000 dollars 5 year deal with the n. B. A. James anymore but the Houston Rockets also had criticism from the other side from the United States people criticizing the Houston Rockets for that apology obviously the protests are very emotive face of an accused the brutality beijing accused of cracking down on dissent. A better a rule democratic president ial candidate he said the n. B. A. Has prioritized profits over human rights a lot of people see this economic mights winning over very interesting stuff there Jonathan Crane from the sports thank you very much welcome. I lets go to reminder of our top stories here on d. W. The u. S. Is reportedly pulling its troops out of Northern Syria to pave the way for a turkish offensive against kurdish fighters there produced groups say washington is abandoning them and fire medical activists from the Extinction Rebellion have launched a worldwide protest for planning weeks of destructive actions to raise the alarm over Climate Change.
