Turkey is threatening to resume its assault on the kurds in Northern Syria ancora says Kurdish Forces have not pulled back from the region which is one of the conditions set by turkey and russia and the agree to a 6 day ceasefire that and later today on meanwhile more salient details are emerging about the raid in which the Islamic State leader Abu Bakar Al Baghdadi died a Senior Adviser to the kurdish alleged Syrian Democratic forces says the s. D. F. Was pivotal in efforts to track down al baghdadi in a series of tweets the Senior Advisor said all intelligence and access to alba dati as well as the identification of his place were the result of the. Own work our source was involved in sending cornets directing the air drop and participating and marking making the operation a success all right lets get you more on this want to cross over to is stumble now to our correspondent giuliana who is reporting on this story from there julia what more can you tell us about these are revelations that the kurds played a key role in tracking down al by diety. Now this is all according to the kurdish led as d f a northeast syria it hasnt been independently verified but they now claim that they had an undercover agent an assett who managed to get access to the compound where the jihad is legal but he was hiding there and it live province in syria and this person brought all but dug under way to conduct a d. N. A. Task ahead of the u. S. Raid to confirm that the person in question really was al baghdadi now another Important Note on the timing of it all the cut his forces they also claim that they have been working with the u. S. On the ground collecting intel in the past 5 months but the whole operation targeting al but he was delayed because of turkeys military operation which was launched about 3 weeks ago so how do all these stunning revelations fit in with this narrative of a key u. S. Regional ally helping track down the most wanted man in the world with the white house deciding to cut them loose the moment that turkey decides to declare war on them. Well it appears to have been an ongoing operation but i also think its important for the Kurdish Forces to show the world how crucial they have been and still are in the fight against the socalled Islamic State they repeatedly said how betrayed they feel by u. S. President Donald Trumps decision to withdraw u. S. Forces from the within syria this basically gave green light to turkeys a military operation in the area and now the cats have come under a lot of pressure in recent weeks but theyre also the ones in charge of detention facilities and comms Holding Thousands of isis fighters and their families in north and syria there have been reports of breakout attempts and its going to be interesting to see how but daddys killing will affect the situation. Say they have beefed up security in some of the camps because they are afraid of riots theres only shows you that the fight against the socalled Islamic State in the area is far from over and it is a nother really crucial day for the kurds because today the ceasefire there turkey and russia agreed on expires where do we expect to see happen today. Well it has been a very shaky cease fire the kurdish side and the turkish side have both reported violations the deal and later today it was a deal struck between turkey and russia to allow Kurdish Militia with which turkey considers terrorists to withdraw some 30 kilometers from the Turkish Border the deal also allowed Syrian Regime forces who are backed by russia to return to these areas in north and syria so overall a very tense security situation its very difficult to understand whats exactly going on on the ground but the turkish government says that not all white p. G. D. Kurdish fighters have withdrawn from the area and if they dont do so let me quote the Turkish Foreign minister here turkey will wipe out the terrorists that.

And another Natural Disaster now firefighters in california are battling 2 massive blazes extreme winds have been fanning the flames and a statewide emergency has been declared Officials Say the fire ripping through Northern Californias wine country has now doubled in size with nearly 200000. 00 people under evacuation orders and further south another wildfire is threatening homes in the Los Angeles Area some of l. A. s wealthiest residents including basketball star Le Bron James and even the terminator himself Arnold Schwarzenegger have been driven from their homes. And i think of the 4 and 5 freeway in los angeles the latest front in the California Wildfires so the blaze sweeping through tinder dry hills. Thousands of people were forced to flee as the fires scorched the wealthy west side of the city authorities urged residents to heed the warnings and get out. If youre in the mandatory evacuation zone and youre still there watching those youre an idiot get the hell out its way too dangerous people that stay behind are just a danger in themselves and not helping. The worst affected area a Sonoma County in Northern California 88000 homes here are in danger 4000 firefighters are battling to get the blaze under control as days of strong winds dropped and conditions improved but todays focus continues to be perimeter control and structure protection but especially during this 24 hour window of opportunity we currently have with favorable weather conditions but time is of the essence fuel cost is a warning that this is just a brief rest bite wins a set to pick up and found the flames once more. What we started to get ready for there was another red flag event all right now it looks like thats going to start sometime midday tuesday and push us into wednesday morning so weve got a kind of a quiet 24 hour window right now and then were going to go into another critical period tuesday night into wednesday its now a race against time a battle against the blazes before the next critical period begins. The very latest now from jason the camperdown reporter with n. B. C. News radio hes joining us from l. A. Which is at the heart of this wildfire jason there are about 12 fires burning in the state are firefighters any closer to getting these blazes under control. Not really unfortunately containment is something thats very hard to achieve especially with the winds being as strong as they have the past couple of days now today the winds are going to be a little bit slower than what they have been over the past week and but youre still going to get wind gusts of up to 20 to 25 Miles Per Hour so firefighters are trying to get in there and give everything they got to their fire fight today the fire in Northern California in wine country Sonoma County theyre not expecting that to be contained in till 2 weeks from that i talked to us a little bit jason about the weather which is playing a really crucial factor. So right now like i said wind gusts are minimal 20 maybe 30 miles an hour in some of the mountain tops but later today in Northern California about noon or so local time were going to be getting a cold air coming from canada and the cold air is actually much faster than a warm wind would be because the cold air will pick up steam or pick up speed as it comes off of the mountain slopes and then gets down to sea level where most of these fires are burning so we could see wind gusts of up to 8090 sometimes 100 miles an hour later today and of course nobody is this spared a lot some homes there also in the area of a celebrities who have had to evacuate as well what more can you tell us about that. And these homes are mansions multimillion dollar homes and you mentioned the bron james and Arnold Schwarzenegger they had to evacuate thank you know idea of the wealth and the money that is just in that area and these are not like one in 2 bedroom type homes these are 6 and 7 bedroom homes with vast landscapes and beautiful architecture and things like that down here near the getty center where the getty fire broke out yesterday as heat weve lost about 10 homes but firefighters are battling overnight right now using water dropping helicopters to try and save as many structures as possible do we know at all do the authorities know how these fires started in the 1st place. So there are a couple of i dont want to call them rumors but there are a couple of speculations that p. G. And e. Pacific gas and electric is responsible for their infrastructure is responsible for the fire up in Sonoma County the high winds may have knocked down a power line in the nose power lines may have ignited the vegetation underneath down here in Southern California we do know that a tree branch broke off and hit our line but were not exactly sure if thats the exact cause Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti did say yesterday that it was not started by a homeless encampment all right Jason Campbell i am reporting from los angeles on the a while fires thank you thank you youre watching the news coming up. Pakistans baby boom for many talking about Birth Control is taboo but the consequences are overwhelming in many families. But 1st he said hed rather die in a ditch then asked to delay breaks it but today british Prime Minister Boris Johnson has agreed to a bridge that extension until january 31st hes also been trying to persuade parliament to agree to a snap election in december mr johnson lost that vote but undeterred today he will again try to convince opposition parties to support a general election hes hoping to capitalize on public anger over bricks in. Can you thats the election by the end of this week this was the day Boris Johnson broke his pledge to deliver brags that by the end of october my job is to get us out on october 31st and that is what we believe we are not committing to all of us leaving the european union. All. Girly and clearly theres lots more with it turns out there were more than a few obstacles on the road to breaks it and plenty of hostility outside and inside parliament. With a new parliament the canoe no sooner had he agreed to delete a brags than he was at the dispatch box pushing for a snap election time for others to get or. By december to crow and then go to the people despite his pleas he couldnt muster anywhere near enough support because the majority required has not been reached for no use of it for the opposition an election is a gamble he would rather not take. Thank you mr speaker. The reason i am so cautious is quite simply because i do not trust the Prime Minister he said im convinced im done detailed johnson says hell make a fresh attend on tuesday. Because because the house. Any longer keep this country hostage millions of families and businesses cannot plan for the future as night fail it was a future that looted likely to involve a ballot box with hints that smaller opposition parties may be ready to back johnsons call in just hours the United Kingdom could well be in Campaign Mode no s. No buts. The World Jewish Congress has honored german chancellor Angela Merkel for her efforts to counter. Semitism and germany the president of the organization Ronald Lauder presented miss merkel with the theater or her surprise at the ceremony in munich lauder praised americal as a poll worker against extremism hate and anti semitism at a time when he is seeing a sharp rise in attacks on german people and institutions earlier this month a man killed 2 people while attempting to stage a mass shooting at a synagogue in eastern germany. There was frank osland had the chance to talk to the president of the World Jewish Congress a lot or he spoke to him about antisemitism in germany and why the w. J. C. Has awarded uncle americal the theodore her surprise why are you doing so what are your intentions virtual chancellor merkel has been wonderful to jewish people in germany and shes always been strong supporter of the state of israel and for that she is receiving the fear of her surprise which is the major prize. In the jewish world in the same time that w. Chasey has just presented a study a new study about the rise of antisemitism again in germany you go self you are writing an op ed just recently pointing out the findings whats your explanation to them well theres 2 parts of this explanation 1st of all. Theres always been antisemitism in germany but between after. 945 to almost 1980 s. Was here. Today a recent survey we found out really peoples feelings 27 percent of people said they have strong antisemitic feelings about jewish people and its a major survey and. The question becomes what happened why there was there but why did people feel the way they do and thats one of the things were talking about today whats the explanation may prefer you cite you you feel as sort of angsty as well again about the study about these findings literally how is this what is this doing to you 1st of all i think the reason has to do a lot with education we are now 3 generations away from the holocaust and too often young people and many many of the entice many people who are young people. We never knew what happened during that time and i believe that the teaching in school. Good is not Strong Enough to allow children to really understand the house of what went on very briefly well to fail us on the government sites on the political the political field and the elites in this country you know opinion well 1st of all in the political field i believe that anyone any party who is who shows antisemitic feelings should not be in that party and i believe also there are some party small parties that are basically based on almost a neo nazi theory they should be not allowed and marches like we had 10 minutes into it and although they did not wear the signs of nazi germany there was no doubt we had it where they were or in stadiums sports stadiums when a whole group of people stand up and give the hitler salute what does that say thats something the government has to handle. Thank you very much dates miss a lot of this interview footage over the years say thank you and thanks for thanks for coming. Its a subject thats still to boot in pakistans conservative Muslim Society Sex Education once married women face pressure to have children fare of backlash from islamic clerics discourages public discussion about Family Planning and access to contraceptives is limited only about a 3rd of pakistanis have access to them well that means the population continues to be and there are more than 200000000 people in pakistan and if your families often feel they can barely manage with so many mouths to feed did over use july any reports. Standing up to make a difference child as soon rowe is a Community Health worker in the town of picher in sindh province in a conservative Muslim Society she reaches out to women pakistans Public Health system fails to reach today shes speaking about Family Planning and Reproductive Health but its not an easy sell mine even yet we are mighty kind of authentic people are more aware of Family Planning these days but theyre often reluctant because theyre myths and misconceptions about using contraceptives some women are afraid that it will make them infertile forever others think its against their religion scheider is not a trained nurse or a doctor but she lives and works in the community so when she refers them to the local government run hospital they trust her enough to go and get professional help. Rima is a mother of 2 this is her 1st ever visit seeking advice on Birth Control the doctor takes a medical history and advises her on her options an injection for a 3 month gap builds for a daily use merely contraception as well as implant method for 5 to 10 year contraception but unlike her most women in pakistan are not allowed to make these choices order says more than the women its her inlaws and the husband who call the shots as doctors we have to talk to the family. Because without their consent women usually can say no to having babies. No wonder then pakistanis produce more babies than any other country in south asia except of coniston millions of these children will never go to school they will be malnourished because their parents cant afford a decent meal for their large families boys may have a better chance of survival but girls will most likely face a bleak future. The question is where could this lead pakistan a Nuclear Armed country lagging way behind its neighbors in Human Development to find out i have come to meet the men of disapproval community at this village meeting people see benefit in Family Planning but this is a fear of a backlash from islamic clerics is the major obstacle. They say i love has promised that he will provide food for the rich. They say their Family Planning is a sin and who are you to interfere in gods law yes then we try to explain to them that it is not against their religion or why you would other muslim countries from our control but they hear the mission. There is no called a nation of commitment at the top in my time as a doctor i have never seen a Family Planning official visit the city limits unless you invest in community has to go in for pavement i will die in a community. Its true to decades of militarism and corruption has taken a big toll on pakistans torsional development but it now seems the biggest long term threat to the country may not beaks dont know what could come from its unchecked population growth.
