Migrants arriving across the mediterranean they want more e. U. Countries to share the burden of resettling refugees. Plus one of the Worlds Largest statues gets an epic facelift renovations are underway to restore the motherland coal russias monument to the world war 2. Well im Terry Marchant good to have you with us Donald Trumps plan to pull american troops out of syria is drawing fire from both sides of the aisle in washington senior politicians are calling on the u. S. President to reverse his decision theyre concerned that the pullout will allow turkey to launch its long planned offensive against kurdish fighters in the region fighters that have been key allies of the u. S. And its battle against the socalled Islamic State. Leaving in a hurry american troops started pulling out of syria within hours of the official announcement. They leave behind these empty bases near the Turkish Border bases that had been a guarantee of safety for Kurdish Forces and. U. S. President donald trump abruptly canceled that guarantee saying in the tweets it is time for us to get out of these ridiculous endless wars many of them tribal and bring our soldiers home u. S. Troops were in syria to support Kurdish Forces in the fight against the socalled Islamic State but turkey has long resented the presence of armed Kurdish Forces near its border it considers them terrorists kurdish groups in the region have protested the move they feel abandoned by the u. S. Who teamed up with kurdish fighters in the battle against the us they fear a turkish invasion is imminent. This greenlight a trump gave terror to one will actually complicate the crisis in the region of the gun. So it will provide Islamic States with an opportunity to regenerate and control areas such as russia and terrorism or again the. Turkish president reject tie up at 01 gave the kurds a stark warning that suited their is a phrase that we always say. We can come any night without warning and our determination remains because it is absolutely out of the question for us to further tolerate the threats from these terrorist groups. Trumps decision has been widespread criticism even within his Republican Party occurred when nobody else would defy if we abandon damn good law getting anybody to help america in the future will radical islam alqaeda and i. Was later strong appeared to try to placate critics by issuing a stern warning to ankara that right now were at a position where if turkey does anything out of what they should be doing we will hit them so hard in the economy mixed messages at the top and meanwhile on the ground in syria the kurds are waiting for the next close to full in a region that seen its share of mystery and finance already. Im joined now by mark peel a need hes a veteran diplomat and now a business scholar at the Carnegie Europe think tank hes also served as ambassador to both syria and turkey mr putin we thank you very much for joining us today on t. W. News why does the turkish president want to move his troops into Northern Syria and what does he intend to do there. Well essentially what he intends to do is and engineering that hes removing as many currents as they count from strict along the border you say such economic terms and then have higher ups and took manstein in power in these villages its this is not you this is something he has been saying for a long time its also the long time worry about kurdistan him merging on the border in iraq in syria and in turkey of course but what were seeing today oh and since a couple of days east basically 2 very strong leaders and on and tram were strong narratives and we have to remember that both of them are in great trouble politically at home so essentially that theyre trying to divert attention weve had a lot of words weve seen a lot of images off on mcveigh kill some time some saw but we havent seen any operation yet so she dition is still in flux but the benches are very very high as you just illustrated in your reporting for us was isis of course the rebirth of isis is the bull civility 2nd of all small suffering and then i believe another dent in nato strikes in turkey as you know turkey has been in the law in nato for many decades but recently the the move towards or up russia always russia and saw as then to distrust and this operation here will do more damage although there is no nato operation in often syria but it is watched very carefully here in brussels now the European Union clearly has interests at stake in the region as well what if anything is the e. U. Doing to help stabilize that region. Well as you know 2 e. U. Member states as of today france and the u. K. Have special forces in in the region cooperating with the u. S. Forces but of course but it gives you all the shit the sheer numbers they are dependent on on us decisions so thats the 1st difficulty then the real issue for European Countries such as france belgium germany u. K. Is that you have. Hundreds if not a couple of saddam in total european jihadists and families that are not alone the ball that i was talking about for the sophs secret of the how the whole refugee camp and these jihadists nobody wants to see them return 0 up and down does it custody of y p g d syria Kurdish Forces so any these devotees ation the situation would create great denchs for europe and a great i worry for political leaders that refugee is to people in need thank you so much for your insights that was mark given me a veteran diplomat and now a visiting scholar at Carnegie Europe now lets move on to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today iraqs president barham salih he has condemned attacks on protesters and journalists during a wave of antigovernment unrest from earlier the government acknowledged that soldiers had used Excessive Force against demonstrators more than a 100 people have been killed and 6000 wounded in a week of demonstrations against corruption and economic mismanagement.

European union interior ministers are meeting in luxembourg today to discuss how to deal with migrants arriving across the Mediterranean Sea countries including germany france italy and malta have already agreed to accept a share of migrants rescued at sea now they want other e. U. States to join in a new voluntary resettlement scheme according to law Asylum Seekers must register and stay in the country where they 1st landed thats put enormous pressure on mediterranean states so far this year spain has received more than 20000 migrants italy almost 8000 and greece over 40000 migrant arrivals are down by about 30 percent this year but when boats do arrive europe often struggles to respond its hope that todays meeting will deliver a solution. It was a moment that changed the debate around migration to europe 31 year old can hold out had forced her rescue ship carrying 40 migrants into the harbor of Italys Lampedusa island she was arrested for defying italys ban on private rescue ships entering its ports as it stands when an Aid Organization rescues migrants in the Central Mediterranean e. U. Countries are forced to scramble to allocate the arrivals among themselves both italy and malta which lie close to the north african coast say its unfair that they have to accept so many of those who come to europe shores at the end of september interior ministers from italy germany and france men in malta to discuss the way forward they agreed on a mechanism to automatically distribute the migrants who arrive by boat. Was the people who come to shore must be distributed they can do a Security Check at the point of a level 3 interviews but they cant process all their asylum claims in such a short time not if we want to comply with the law that must be done in other you countries as well somebody like germany or something now germany france italy and malta are hoping to convince other e. U. Member states to sign up to the migrant resettlement scheme or for the very latest lets cross over to our correspondent max hop on whos in luxembourg max the ministers are seeking agreement on how to deal with migrants crossing the mediterranean tell us more about what that agreement might look like. That agreement is essentially as we just heard in that report terry the malta agreement that was struck 2 weeks ago that there are 2 problems with that agreement the 1st one is only 4 countries are part of it so whats happening today is that those countries germany italy france and malta are hoping to convince other countries to join them in the effort and then you have to keep in mind its only about refugees rescued at sea so thats only a small part of those refugees that make it to the European Union a much larger part comes over the Eastern Mediterranean route or what was known as the western Balkans Route in the past that there is no solution for that and you can imagine that some of those eastern European Countries are not happy about that what are the chances max that the ministers will actually reach a consensus on even this smaller issue that were talking about migrants rescued on the Mediterranean Sea what are the chances that other countries will sign up to that. Yeah its only refugees rescued on the Central Mediterranean route not even all of the Mediterranean Sea but you have a couple of countries that are lined up to help smaller countries for example luxembourg or the Baltic States but if you have those other countries like hungry in poland that have always opposed an automatic relocation mechanism or a quota system as you call it they have not changed their position so this remains one of the most contentious issues in the European Union and you can tell that is still the case because 3 countries in this case bulgaria greece and cyprus have written a letter almost a desperate letter to their fellow interior minister colleagues here saying that they should also deal with the Eastern Mediterranean route because the countries there are completely overwhelmed even if the refugee influx is smaller than it was a couple of years ago but the situation for example on the greek islands especially on lesbos is desperate so theyre writing their interior minister saying we need to deal with that route as well and not only with those rescued at sea on the Central Mediterranean route ok so theres tremendous pressure and also in the Eastern Mediterranean will moving in that direction is arrangements with turkey are also up for discussion today the focus there being support for turkey to host large numbers of refugees who might otherwise be heading for europe what can we expect there. Well that you turkey deal is absolutely key in preventing more refugees coming to the European Union so if thats your goal you need turkey because theyre withholding a large part of those Syrian Refugees and we just heard about the situation in the region earlier in the show so this problem is not going to go away so especially the eastern European Countries say we need to keep that deal but turkey wants money in return because the money from that 1st deal is running out it seems there is a willingness among the you to spend more money on that deal they dont really have a choice and its clear also because of that message of the book of the of the 3 countries i mentioned earlier that the e. U. Will keep that deal and you know will spend and invest more and its to be able to control the influx of refugees on that side of the European Union rice thank you so much. In luxembourg now the summit in luxembourg is happening against a backdrop of warnings about another huge wave of migrants reaching europe via turkey largely due to the fighting in Northern Syria and turmoil in iraq german interior minister whole city hall says he fears the numbers could be even larger than in 2015 but sentiment has changed in germany since the country began welcoming over a 1000000 refugees that year. But he fled syria from both men in 2015 in all my stuff a decade his life has changed dramatically and the country here arrived in a way that. Beginning with michaels famous i can dont call and say weve done so much we can do this the landmark a new turkey dail to prevent refugees entering the e. U. Via turkey more controls more transfer centers the rights of and he migrant sentiment and now the latest plan to accept more migrants rescued from the mediterranean but is germany ready from all Asylum Seekers. 30 year olds for hate works with the Association Start with a friend creating bonds between germans and migrants he says the country is ready but refugees still face all the obstacles that so i wasnt instance from the. Feel since 2015 for example many things have become more difficult. Decisions have been made which prevent integration like the tightening off rules on family reunification i share from. Having enough without their families or refugees and migrants here cant fully integrate. And they cant properly start a new life in the new country and can. Start i know a slave. And. Can oust the architect of the 2060 migration go between the e. U. In turkey says germany has the means to take in more refugees but says its hard to predict if society will give the green light to policy in 2015 germany i think surprised itself with its willingness to mobilize all of society not just the government and welcome a huge number of people what would happen if there is another few 100000 people in turkey and pressing on to greece we dont know 1st the heat the past 4 years have been a learning process by for him and for germany. Does when make an end germany has learned that when migrants all refugees are given enough support when they arrive then they will quickly give a lot back from their hearts and become a part of this society. I am told the success of. On the other hand i think for example that some germans or some people here havent properly observateur history and havent learned from its mistakes one day and. That means marginalization again hate and the election of a racist party again and that is not a good sign. Because session. Now to hong kong where a leader kerry lab has warned that the Chinese Military could step in if the uprising over democratic reforms escalates further heres what she said during a press conference at this point in time i still strongly feel that we should find the solutions of steps that that is also the position of the Central Government that hong kong should tackle the problem on her own. But if the situation becomes so bad. That no options could people if we want hong kong to at least to have another chance. Has faced widespread criticism in hong kong has seen violent protests since introducing colonial era emergency laws on friday correspondent Charlotte Chelsea until has been finding out why the application of these laws as calls so much anger. The chaos now so widespread that its verging on the surreal. The end is so deep its becoming harder and harder to escape. Authorities say it seems like this that justifies sweeping new emergency palace. Was the but house in the streets the ban on face masks is having little effect with protest as warning is just the tip of the iceberg. I didnt say i 1st pace that they can cry they apply the law and i think thats much much more to come alone is a great real more and more angry that you never know what the government will put out there was just worried about the whole political. Tenure chad is among a number of prodemocracy lawmakers challenging the emergency during cool out she says it gives chief executive kerry lamb Unlimited Power to impose what she calls tarion measure this is a very very dangerous each. Ration 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 rumor mill is now in overdrive 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 worst violence taking place late into the Evening Police the pushing for a curfew in particular that many of the Entertainment Industry warn that could take an even greater toll on local businesses. Bars and restaurants already suffering. But they calls and tourists alike often prefer to keep away. One Industry Insider tells me a curfew put even more jobs at risk. I might if those people lose their jobs 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 is that the which he know might think rule. With protesters and authorities faith refusing to back down many in hong kong see the west is yet to come i. Say look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today a stolen truck has plowed into cars waiting at a traffic light in the german town of limbaugh injuring 16 people male driver has been detained he said they are investigating whether it was a Traffic Accident or an attack. Hundreds of haitians have joined protests in the capital Port Au Prince demanding the ouster of a powerful president joked they have always the demonstrators are angry about corruption rising inflation and a lack of food and fuel at least 17 people have been killed in several weeks of unrest.

The battle of stalingrad is widely seen as the turning point of world war 2 in europe it marked the moment when soviet troops halted nazi germanys invasion of russia and began driving the german army back across europe the owner of this victory russia constructed one of the largest statues in the world near the site of the battle but 50 years have taken their toll on the motherland calls and unprecedented renovation is now underway to restore statue to its former glory.
