It is watching it looks like they used citizens working in the u. K. Many of them in restaurants say theyre worried about deportation as the country faces more threats and deadlines. Are brian thomas great to have you with us kurdish officials in Northern Syria say theyve forged a deal with damascus to fight together against turkeys military and whats being called a Major Political shift kurdish led forces are to deploy side by side with Syrian Government troops along the countrys border with turkey the kurds living there were previously allied with the United States but President Trump has announced the militarys withdrawal there. That move paved the way for turkey to launch its attack turkey sees the kurdish fighters as terrorist and wants to create a socalled safe zone inside kurdish held territory to resettle Syrian Refugees living in turkey. To be as yulia han joins us now at the turkish Syrian Border border good day to yulia whats the latest where you are right now in special it especially in light of the reports were getting that Syrian Forces will be joining the fight alongside the kurds. Well these latest developments of course further complicate the battlefield im here in the Turkish Border town of about 5 kilometers away from the Syrian Border which is to woods this direction now off to the kurdish let forces that have officially turned to the Syrian Government and its ally russia for military assistance to Bashar Al Assad and thats according to the information were getting that from syria is sending units of troops and equipment we dont know how many troops how much equipment from aleppo to monday in north and syria now monday its that is a one of the targets one of the areas the Turkish Military is that trying to attack is preparing to attack so there is a very real risk these 2 armies the syrian army and the turkish army could be facing each other that it could be clashes and this is of course absolutely no good news ok so this is all focusing now on mondays where you know as youre mentioning it looks like considerable reinforcements are headed headed to help the kurds in light of this house turkey been responding to these developments. Well president ed once a Spokes PersonAbraham Cullen just tweeted earlier today that turkey is still determined to continue this operation until all goals have been achieved which is according to ankara fighting terrorism and setting up the socalled safe zone now he has also called whats coming from the kurdish side propaganda and he has urged the world not to buy into this but im sure there are crisis talks going on right now in ankara and elsewhere possibly also talks with russia as a syrias most important ally that the turkish government might not have expected these developments i mean theyre facing fear as International Criticism sanctions flats and now a changing situation on the ground but this is of course all politics. These are this this mission has caused immense humanitarian human suffering on both sides of the border here on the turkish side as well at least 800 civilians have been killed in the past days and socalled or apparent reprisal attacks from the syrian side we have visited one Turkish Border town there and i brought you this report. In the Turkish Border town of. The public outpouring of grief. The women mourn the death of their village chief he and 2 other men were killed in a mortar shelling an apparent reprisal attack from across the border in syria. We want this work to stop nobody should die no soldiers no civilians we just want peace. Of course were scared were scared for the whole country turks recurred for everyone no one should be killed no no not me and never enter thank you. People show us where the weak tim died. Within a radius of 20 meters traces of bomb fragments. Window walls the. Back by shrapnel. Came from that right maybe from over there i dont know but its from a bomb. Similar story can be heard in many Turkish Border towns. If people believe the war is just across the border in syria they know better now. Still the mayor. Supports the turkish offensive he claims the fighting for a good cause the enemy here in our car we are hosting 125000 syrians you might be able to imagine how difficult it is that we want to save their own to resettle the 3500000 refugees that have become a burden for turkey over the past 8 years but here occasionally spend a little money but we pay the real price syrians should go back to their homes. The area northeast syria that is supposed to become a safe zone is anything but. For days the turkish army and Syrian Opposition fighters have clashed with Kurdish Militia and while they are busy fighting each other there are concerns that ice. Which are already defeated in the area might be able to regroup. International criticism of the Turkish Military campaign is growing the United Nations say the offensive has course more than 100000 civilians to flee but the consequence of that will have been dramatic on this side of the border in turkey and many people weve talked to here are hoping that the violence wont continue to escalate. This includes people in fruits who are grieving over the death of their village. And praying that the Turkish Military operation will and before they have to bury more of their loved ones. Her. Ok youll you are seeing grieving now on both sides of the turkey syria border well were also getting reports that some 900 Islamic State family members and their supporters being held by the kurds have a state thats it can you tell us something about that. Well these are all reports from yesterday the feminine members where house in a kurdish controlled camp that they managed to escape the camp has fallen we dont know where they might have gone but this is actually something of the courage that forces there have been warning about even before the turkish offensive star so they were saying we cant fight 2 battles we can fight the turkish army and at the same time take care of the isis prison is and their radicalized family members according to our information there hasnt been a major break out all the actual isis prison but the situation in these camps right now seems to be very chaotic very tense the camp were talking about right now is southeast off the northeast syrian town of tal of yet that is under attack from the Turkish Military right now and you know these concerns are growing that any end it might be indeed to the socalled Islamic State that benefits from everything thats going on there from the chaos it could help them actually regroup and research. From the turkish Syrian Border for us thanks very much for your report there bring us up to date. Well over the weekend pro kurdish demonstrations took place in a number of capitals including here in Berlin International condemnation of turkeys offensive is mounting with germany and france urging uncorrupt to pull back some e. U. Countries have already announced that theyre curtailing weapons exports to turkey the European Union for example as warned that turkeys deployment threatens to destabilize the entire region. Or European UnionForeign Ministers are meeting in luxembourg today to discuss their response to turkeys offensive chancellor merkel and the french president Manuel Mccraw spoke to turkeys president by phone sunday to express their concern. I spoke to the president earlier one for an hour today turkey does of course have justified security entrance but i believe as does the federal government that the offensive must be stopped in view of the great humanitarian consequences and for the community outcome and will in full this occurrence have to stop a strong belief that. As we can already see on the ground. In recent printed recent creating unbearable humanitarian situation its. Not as well as allowing to reemerge in the region. Lets cross over to luxemburg now where do you have years max hoffman is following that e. U. Meeting of Foreign Ministers today good day to you max germany france and the netherlands all having already announced a ban on weapons exports to turkey how far are e. U. Countries willing to go to stop this military offensive. Those are all national bans youre right about that if the french had their will they e. U. Would go much farther than that they would probably implement a e. U. Wide embargo on arms or maybe Even Economic sanctions you have to remember that turkey is very dependent on the e. U. When it comes to its economy its a Customs Union with the European Union but thats not what were likely to see and the reason for that is the e. U. Turkey migrant deal the e. U. On the other hand is very dependent on turkey when it comes to preventing more migrants coming into the European Union and many e. U. Member states are very worried that this could change if it cannot make sanctions are imposed on turkey so what were expecting to see here today is a strong condemnation of what turkey is doing in Northern Syria but nothing more and max hows the e. U. Reacting today to the news that Kurdish Forces have agreed a deal with syria that would see Syrian Government troops joining them in their fight against. Foreign ministers of course reacted to that upon arrival here in luxembourg including the German Foreign minister and he said this does not set the to pacify the region to stabilize the region and thats always been the most important goal of the e. U. To pacify and stabilize the region but the e. U. Cant really do much in its current role because it does have the economic muscle to pressure other countries but it does not have the military muscle to do anything in the region and that seems to be the only thing that counts at the moment so the e. U. In this case is a bystander max thanks so much for that from luxembourg well have more from that meeting later today. Lets break down some of the other stories making news at this hour wading through kneedeep waters Emergency Responders are searching for missing people after typhoon hygienist hit japan over the weekend a super typhoon has already claimed dozens of lives the damage done by flooding in cities and towns in the capital tokyo still being sensed.

M. F. A new political stars rising in budapest after sundays may or already center left Opposition Leader their gay kora chona one vote with calls for bringing hungary closer to brussels and the 1st electoral blow for nationals Prime Minister viktor orban since he came to power in 2010. Its to poland now where the countrys ruling conservatives are on track for a comfortable majority in parliament along just as party is projected to have the seats to govern alone with most votes counted from sundays election the right wing party has backed additional and media reforms that drew criticism from brussels for eroding the rule of law. They would seek to be reelected to government. And it looks like polands nationalist law and Justice Party will be when or perhaps even increase its parliamentary majority was god. We have victory and were very happy about that but remember these are only exit polls this is not the final victory but anyway we have reasons to be happy. This social welfare programs and to immigrant policies and social conservatism a popular with many poles but the biggest opposition bloc says that divisive the use of the new people want cooperation they want us to show that we are able to overcome the splits that are in our country people dont want poland to be divided into parts people dont want their hearts broken because poles are not able to understand each other we are the ones who are promoting cooperation over the good of smaller parties also made against a Left Wing Coalition is back in parliament now. Were coming back to where the leftists have always belonged to the temple of democracy and out to the polish parliament after 4 years the. On the far right exceeded polish National Voting threshold and well also get seats in parliament. Was god but the big winners were the law and Justice Party that campaign focused on replacing business and cultural elites with more of a patch or else it contra and containing what they see is the courts interference which china. Its directly with the European Unions criticism that theyre weakening the rule of law and undermining polands democracy. And find out whats ahead for poland im joined by a vote from the interviews post this morning. 46 percent thats the latest number for the official results what does it look like you can piece govern alone can the conservatives do that yes thats very pro who yesterday we had pulled in that party will probably have to look for a Coalition Partner but now this latest partial but official results. Maybe even to 49 percent this would be Nothing Party law and Justice Party will be able to govern alone for the next 4 years ok that thats quite a victory for them whats behind this conservative victory in point well ok the most important thing is that the conduct of living has really improved. For years in poland the economy in poland is running really well theres almost no unemployment and the low interest is partly in the party which most. People. Like your party and important think that is the party which for the 1st time 999 in poland that its you know its time to spend money partly its simply giving money to the people thats why. Its Getting Better ok we know they have the expanded majority of somewhere between 46 and 49 percent right now were not quite sure. What what would they be doing though in terms of their relationship with brussels that accused them of of curbing the freedom of the press for example and back in the courts well i expect some more tension between warsaw and brussels because its quite clear. The new government will try to continue its controversial or controversial reform of the judiciary which brussels doesnt really like im afraid the government will take some steps towards taking control over the private media in poland so there are new tensions ahead i believe however there is no big european engine in poland poland is not a country wanting to leave the European Union pose dont want to the government doesnt want it theres no poll it had in poland ok with your what about the opposition what are they going to do now and what are they running on well. Against law and Justice Party. Very. Very coherent program that the opposition doesnt really have. The opposition doesnt have a clear leader a very popular politician and the law and Justice Party party not always playing their words your position for example having already control over the public media in poland and those public media are attacking the opposition very very unfairly ok which monkey from a potent thanks very much for coming in thank you.

Toxic dust particles that he and hailed for decades working at the coal mine now have destroyed his lungs. Just 45 years old his lungs operated on the heart of their potential capacity. Is anywhere from 43 to 47 percent. Like thousands of other miners in kentucky downey has been diagnosed with black lung until the radiologist brandon began collecting information the overall number of patients suffering from the lung disease had never been reliably recorded after collating the data compound was terrifying they would have to classify it as an epidemic weve been seeing a significant increase in the number of black lung. Patients who are also been seeing more and more severe forms of the disease affecting younger miners you know working hours and while using concentrated dust and just a few cold. Now the state of kentucky has reacted they are not expected radiologists are now no longer able to undertake diagnoses only lung specialist there are just 2 such specialists in kentucky to crum its an absolute scandal that goes political you know i think i was probably founded too much black lung disease on earth they workers comp claims and they want to make us operate no. Specialists mean fewer diagnoses that can be used by those affected to claim against Health Insurance but even with cases that are relatively straightforward its difficult for them to get their claims paid. Anywhere adding 10 volunteers to help the sick and their families. Right there you know everyone knows our client you know whether its a miner or its a widow who.
