Towns nearby in the northern countries are forward to Government Forces but for the Syrian Government the big prize was getting control of. That will give it access to the 5 its an important economic highway that crosses the country then a harder has more from beirut. Is back under the control of the Syrian GovernmentImages Released by pro regime media shows a town in southern italy empty of residents and fighters rebels withdrew early on tuesday after days of fighting and hundreds of air strikes its location gives the Syrian Government access to parts of a vital commercial highway that connects the Northern City of aleppo to the capital damascus and has been a military objective for months this is a very Important Development in the course of this conflict. This is the 1st step in the 1st stage maybe. In an effort by the government to regain control of the territories along with the m 5 road between. Aleppo i think the next target will be moderate to normal the opposition to just lose. Rebel fighters had little choice but to leave towns further south in the northern hama countryside they would have risked being besieged if they didnt move further north the opposition was hoping the presence of a turkish observation post in the area would stop the government advance but an attempt by the Turkish Military to reinforce that position failed when an airstrike launched by a syrian or russian warplane on monday prevented it from reaching its destination. The Syrian Government and its allies have been advancing in the past 2 weeks they have now taken more territory than they did in the 1st 3 months of their military campaign its not clear if the rebels had been subjected to heavy fire power are exhausted or if the army is using better tactics like concentrating the strikes close to the front lines and on rebel supply routes but the relentless airstrikes in parliament continue to force people into displacement in recent days more than 25000 are believed to have moved north closer to the border with turkey war monitors and activists say over 700000 syrians are homeless since the military escalation began in late april of. The past few days witnessed unprecedented bombardment that is why the people who didnt leave during the 1st months of the offensive back everything and left most of them believe their houses will either be fully destroyed or taken over by the regime. The bombardment of opposition held towns across southern libya continues as the Syrian Government presses on with its offensive there have been more civilian casualties as rebels promise to defend what is left of their last stronghold the battle is not over there now for their aljazeera beirut turkeys foreign minister. Says it will not move its military observation post away from despite a convoy on its way there being attacked so his Defense Ministry says the airstrike killed 3. Ok let me bring you some breaking news out of italy the Prime Ministers i think has Just Announced his resignation in the last few minutes to address the senate over the political turmoil on least by his Coalition Partner the leader of the far right not to v. V. And said that trying to put an end to the coalition could harm the Italian Economy so your game goes in rome and shes joining us now live with the latest we know that he has been speaking to the Parliament Whats he been saying. Really he has given a Farewell Speech citing that even though there was still an awful lot to do the actions of this particular government and on this day on tuesday and then he went on very much to give direct criticism one of the deputy Prime Ministers the leader of the far right party. He laid squarely the blame at his feet because saying this crisis in the 1st place cues him of being an opportunist the saying that he had decided to launch this bid to for a vote of no confidence immediately after he had managed to successfully pass through parliament which would effectively ban ngo vessels from coming into italy with that he said writing on a wave of populism im conducting politics as he does in squares in the party rallies as well as across social media he said that he really had to play this very badly as well and that he worked more in the interests of of his party and for his own political profit rather than for the interests of the party with that set content then towards the end of his speech said that he would be willing to perhaps engage in old time its a visions for the country but that he would not be tendering his official resignation yet. Until the debate begins immediately afterwards as well so there will be approximately 3 hours of debate that will be conducted in the senate after that he will then go to the president s residence. And officially handed this is resignation however that does not mean that he is out of of his role yet because the president could very well request him to go and head up another coalition so really it is very much a scene that is being played out in front of our eyes and it could wind up with mr condit still contending to be head of the government sonia as youve been talking weve just been seeing pictures from italian t. V. Talking. To the leader of the leader Party Addressing parliament there now as you say having been criticized by the county but irrespective of whether or not its only gets a new Prime Minister the problems still remain dont play. Absolutely and certainly since this coalition came about a very on easy coalition of 2 completely sort of politically oppose sides here the dynamics of how politics played out in this country have changed a lot and certainly because of the way any has conducted politics he. Works in a kind of. Basis where its very much a personal reaching out to supporters he uses a very avid user of social media very much in in the style of donald trump that kind of populist tactics where he goes up and down the country organizing support rallies for his followers and promising that he is going to act upon his policies of stopping migrants from Asylum Seekers coming to this site this is also in a country which has seen an economy crawling a very very slow most sort of stuck economy here. That has been one aspect which is touched on italians as well his vision his anti migrate vision and also his argument that its he has been left out on its own to deal with this migration crisis and very much gets enough air with many people following and agreeing with him and since the coalition is funny even though the leaked party was very much in the minority in terms of seats that the supports however on a popular level is that the likud party has overtaken 5 star and they are very much the dominant force in this government sonia thanks very much indeed. More refugees and migrants have been leaping from a rescue ship in the Mediterranean Sea trying to escape a voice in conditions on board and reached the nearby italian island of lampedusa the crew of the spawning ship says the situation is out of control adding that people are getting increasingly desperate they have been stranded for almost 20 days with italy refusing to let the ship dog spain says they can go there and its sending a navy ship to pick them up a lot as a spokeswoman for the charter to productive open arms and she says many felt they had no option but to jump. Being living. Now we risk. So going much in that the beginning of there we ended the rescue we were 103. 00 we were leaving thinking and doing everything or work to do about.

The u. K. And e. U. Leaders appear to have hardened their positions on reopening brags that negotiations bring more doubt on any breakthrough before the october 31st deadline European Council president donald tusk has. Injected british Prime Minister abbas johnsons latest in months to get rid of the socalled irish backstop provisions in the current Withdrawal Agreement its an insurance policy to prevent border shots between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland honestly has more from dundalk near the republic of irelands border with Northern Ireland. This is the more motorway the main arterial routes connecting the republic of ireland behind the camera to Northern Ireland in the u. K. Away in the distance and it is the absolute flashpoints in the standoff between the European Union and the u. K. In the crisis over brics its what both sides say that they absolutely want a guarantee is no hard border because that would jeopardize the long standing Northern IrelandPeace Process and so that sends the idea had been to have this thing called the back stop leaving the border open until some new arrangement can be found whereby the u. K. Can leave the European Union totally leave the Customs Union technology probably but to maintain the open border well now Boris Johnson the new british Prime Minister who insisted the u. K.

K. And for ireland as well but the other reason why it matters is because in ireland theyve been taking the absolute fear is that a customs post there would be attacked by dissident republicans and they would go for not just british but also irish Customs Officials and youd see the reemergence of the troubles which blighted Northern Ireland for so many years the u. K. Says its a myth its scaremongering the wont ever be a border well make sure it doesnt happen Something Else just east. Be found but the trouble is Boris Johnson cant say what that alternative solution is and the closer we get to the end of october the greater the fears of the reemergence of the hard border and all the security risks and risk the trades that go along with all that.
