Im joining us roscoe with the sport as iran prepares to allow female fans into the pool stadiums will sit down exclusively one of the women helping drive change the country. Welcome to the news hour turkey says its forces are ready for military action in Northern Syria its Defense Ministry says preparations are complete but there is continuing criticism of the operation irans foreign Ministry Says the mission will lot and turkey security concerns the u. S. President is facing widespread criticism domestically for pulling troops out of Northern Syria kurdish fighters in the region say donald trump stabbed them in the back. Weve got more from the u. S. Shortly but 1st lets cross over to Charles Stratford in cali in turkeys border with syria and charles a great deal of military movement being reported where you are what seems to be the situation so far. Yes reports certainly of turkish heavy weaponry being moved into position close to where we are now right along this border so we understand the town behind me the town of telling our tale ill be out was taking control of from eisel by the s. D. F. By those kurdish fighters with the help of u. S. Coalition forces in 2000. And 15 and as you say the s. D. F. Of described this decision by president john to withdraw all those troops u. S. Troops from this area as being a stab in the back and there are serious concerns with respect to the global fight against terrorism when you consider that there are thousands of i saw fighters for example in s. D. F. Jails and the s. D. F. Of say that they cannot guarantee that these fighters would they would be able to maintain their detention in the event of any military escalation by the turks. Say theyre doing this because they describe the main fighting force of the s. T. A. If as a Terror Organization with links to the p. K. K. Here and organization that is also described as a Terror Organization by the us it has been fighting an insurgency in turkey for decades so the turks say they have every right to go in and theyve been saying that for a long time for many years now in fact ever since the s. T. A. If took so much control of this border area. If about to retaliate to protect what they describe as their people and their land and of course all this very complicated jigsaw puzzle for our viewers to make out and of course with those comments by President Trump less than 24 hours ago they have run the patients they have domestically in the u. S. They have ramifications where you are on the ground rules expecting International Comment as well what are you hearing. Well i think internationally its safe to say that everybody is concerned about what this could potentially lead to in terms of the security of this region as i say with respect to so many of those detainees that could either escape or without any clear indications so far as to turkeys position as to if indeed it did go in how would the turks deal with those. Prisoners and then of course there are huge fear about the potential humanitarian fall out. Hundreds of thousands of people across this border have suffered years of war already and certainly its some of the sound that were hearing from these towns across the border people very afraid very concerned as to you know potentially that humanitarian disaster getting even worse so the situation here is very tense at the turks certainly arent pulling back there seems to be no indication of them. Deciding against some sort of military escalation its just very difficult at this stage to gauge exactly when or indeed if that will start and of course we coming back to you through the day as we see developments there certainly on the board of the moment charles strength of that in taki. Wealth and consumer who has more from istanbul. In turkey political circles whether progovernment opposition or from any other political faction when it comes to their fight against the outboard Kurdistan Workers Party which turkey the e. U. And the us deemed as a terrorist organization is welcomed by the turkish public because it turkish nation and the state actually has the Kurdistan Workers Party for decades and it costs around 40000 lives for both sides thats why this military operation in order to have palace a safe zone that will bring back the Syrian Refugees who now live in turkey is welcomed by many turkish people and by some by Many Political circles however u. S. President Donald Trumps there which targets the turkish economy hasnt been welcomed and many criticize the government that uncle rush should have should have responded to these threats. Put all of this in context for you with the comments of the actions that weve seen certainly in northern in Southern Turkey in Northern Syria well as mentioned President Trumps decision to pull troops out has drawn criticism from across the domestic political divide or White House Correspondent Kimberly Hill to tell us more. As u. S. Troops begin pulling out of positions in Northern Syria their commander in chief donald trump defended his decision to withdraw now weve captured isis weve done what weve done we had 50 soldiers in the area talking about and i said we want to bring our soldiers back home its been a long time its a major shift in u. S. Foreign policy one being criticized by members of the president s own Republican Party senator Lindsey Graham one of trumps biggest supporters on twitter pledged to reverse the withdrawal of the u. S. Senate calling it a disaster in the making a move also backed by the top democrat in the senate and i can tell you this it is getting roland condemnation from democrats and republicans and i expect congress will take some form of action either a resolution or something even more. U. S. Officials credit Kurdish Forces with helping take back territory from isolating Northern Syria but there are tensions between turkey and the kurds the turkish government considers one of its most effective fighting forces the p. K. K. To be a terrorist organization some u. S. Lawmakers are threatening to sanction turkey potentially calling for its suspension from nato if it attacks Kurdish Forces in Northern Syria but trump went even further threatening to economically obliterate turkey i have told turkey that if they do anything outside of what we would think is you main they could suffer the wrath of a an extremely decimated economy still trump has long been vocal about his desire to get the u. S. Out of what he calls americas endless wars trumps impulsive syria strategy has led to key members of his administration resigning last year his defense secretary james mattis and brett mcgurk eisel special envoy what this shows president. All of his predecessors were whether republican or democratic is only concerned about himself we have a moral responsibility to the kurds because without them we would not have destroyed the caliphate in a statement on monday the pentagon made clear to turkey the United States does not back turkish operations in Northern Syria believing it will have a destabilizing effect on the region President Trump campaigned in 2016 promising to withdraw the United States from foreign wars now with the 2020 u. S. Election just a little more than a year away it appears potential voters not his senior advisers are the ones trying to care about pleasing most can really help at aljazeera the white house. This is director of the center for middle east studies at the university of oklahoma he says trump puzzler the lowly edge of what might become of kurdish full says if turkey launches a military offensive this shows the real collapse of the Foreign Policy process in the white house weve seen this before in it in korea decisions and tweets that were made about the iran situation in the gulf just a week ago people are guessing what americas going to do next and this is this is clearly not good trump wants to get america out of syria which is understandable he promised in his campaign that he would end the stupid wars in the middle east and he wants to fill some of that now that makes sense the trouble is you knows very little promise oblio about the long history between the kurds and turkey he doesnt realize how brutal the turkish army will be once it gets amongst the kurds. Iraqs president has condemned attacks on protesters during violent antigovernment demonstrations in a t. V. Address but homs ali urged parliament to address protesters demands and called on Security Forces to ensure the rights of iraqis are protected. And told i would support the formation of a committee made a professional and credible experts who were opening the door for a constructive dialogue with the main powers especially our son the protesters we will also work to make sure that the community will have National Consensus and independence so we can identify the problem put Forward Solutions and so we can start in a factory a process of reform and c. S. E. Iran can is our correspondent live for us in baghdad we know the situation is very fluid in iran it seems to have gone quiet on tuesday after days of protests what seems to be going on right now. Well we saw small pockets of process here in baghdad and across the south and center of the country but nowhere near the kind of level that weve seen in previous days here in baghdad in this other city there was a very small protest what were hearing about 2030 people showed up and then there was another protest in this small the neighborhood but it very quickly fizzled out now were trying to figure out why that is it likely from what were being told by both protesters and some politicians is that from the protesters at least they are very worried about this crackdown thats been taking place and they say they senior no Senior Leaders because we dont know who is leading this protest movement is likely to be leaderless but certainly protesters have been out every single day seem to have been targeted been arrested so that may well have had an impact also in so the city there was a changing of the guard almost when the iraqi army that was in charge of quoting the protests they were pulled out by the government and they were placed by federal Police Forces using the police force used much less lethal force than the army does so that may well have had an impact as well but theyre also might be something about the politics of all of this role in the government under a lot of pressure right now so the protesters may well be just waiting and seeing to see what Political Developments happen indeed you talk about Political Developments we see protesters on the streets we see the Security Forces having a crackdown even the Prime Minister talking just earlier where all those politicians where all the parliament ariens why are they not speaking out. Well they all speaking out but they had their speaking out in a very different way to what they normally do that was supposed to be a Parliament Meeting where they were going to discuss all of this 3 of the Major Political blocs decided to boycott by meeting that was supposed to take place and so i say we have no indication as to when polman may need to get in because it simply cant get enough members of parliament to that because of this block so thats one way the opposition polling areas are actually speaking out and then weve got the speaker of the house. To see who is very vocal but no in parliament hes very vocal outside of palm and saying this government needs to resign the needs to be elections hes actually going across the country to try and meet with the governors of the various provinces this is likely to be seen as a very political move almost an election a ring move on his part to try and force the government into an election so well nobodys officially speaking theres no Parliament Session theres no statements coming out from the Iraqi Government as a whole the government has been speaking saying it needs to protest need to stop the opposition parties and like the government the religious parties are blaming the government so theres a lot of politicking but for the moment well leave it of course continue to monitor events with you through the day thanks indra. Well plenty more ahead here on the aljazeera news hour including. Brazil faces another ecological disaster for the oil spill pollutes its coastline now the question is where did it come from.

We did not start the attack they did they accuse us of stealing their animals yes we did during times of war like this they have also killed our relatives.

Home call police say 77 people have been arrested for allegedly violating a faceless ban during rita we can protest and hold call chief executive carrie lamb has defended the new restriction introduced to quell often violent and to government street protests well since friday more than 200. 00 buildings have been damaged and police have fired more than 360. 00 rounds of tear gas lamps says the long running protests are hurting the local economy. Not only sale yet after 4 months of disorder and we found different sectors in hong kong have been affected in particular the Retail Sector catering businesses the Tourism Sector and hotels and we have over 600000 people working in the sicht is there actually grass roots in hong kong they depend on the sick does to earn a living all of this pain killers and will affect the daily lives of those residents. Of the United States has blacklisted 28 chinese tech firms that develop facial recognition and other Artificial Intelligence technology the u. S. Says the technology is being used to repress Chinas Muslim minority groups the black based bars u. S. Firms from selling technology to those companies without government approval Rights Groups say china has detained around 1000000. 00 weekers and other muslims in what it calls reeducation camps in the western shenzhen region pauline lol is the managing director of asia analytics the leading provider of Predictive Analytics in the Greater China region joins me now via skype from hong kong before we get into the nitty gritty of the actual ban and what has been banned as such how do you think china is going to react to this. Im trying to see is this as i dont know like the travel restriction to put pressure on china so that the truth talks to be read. He is under the you know as president i believe isnt that a lot of political pressure to come up with something after saying that trayvon was there in the train trip was a quick its more than 100 years are hes got nothing to show for so i do think shes very anxious that china should come to the table and he can announce a deal so if you to put the trade issue to one side then abandon seems to focus of the government sort of High Tech Companies seems to suggest that the targeting of these entities focus very much on potential surveillance areas that are of real concern to the usa well essentially this is part and parcel of the competition between the 2 countries for dominance on the technological field so starts uprising that the list with. Technology companies Surveillance Companies because each cant separate so castigation Technology One aspect and say ok and dont get there yet aspect everything contributes to everything yes so surveillance facial recognition thats a real part and parcel of this sophistication in technology that both country would like to dominate and indeed while each country sort of tries to find its you might say level or ground against the other the logical move then is that while china and the u. S. Become sort of more isolated from each Others Technology are we looking at sort of Something Like a consumer being given a choice to buy wholly made chinese goods or wholly made usa goods basically you have a choice its either one or the other and this is the way both the american and the Chinese Markets may veer. Well i certainly hope it will not come to that because dont forget to dance girl last word economies are intellect and interdependent. But to pieces step cancer 10 i think for instance comes through many production facilities around the world the supply chain is all interlinked so even still the 2 governments may want to have their own technology dominates and for. Consumers not to have a choice its unlikely to come to that how significant is this ban in relation to the issue of the muslim week a minority within china and the fact that the focus and the intensity by the u. S. Administration to bring china you might say to book on this issue. Strains that you might say bilateral relationship and conversation that they have that china doesnt want any forward or 3rd Party Getting involved in its internal affairs especially when it comes to minority groups i think it is a very difficult skill or tell the past the policy part of the trouble and ministration it seems to change with every other tweet so right now the purpose is are there the muslims and the real guess in china but maybe. Next week after the talks the focus might change so basically for for investors particularly if it is not time well spent to focus on guessing whether distantly or banks tomorrow or the day after but very broadly speaking you know the 2 economies basically are in a reverse focal position in the all of that so even if there is going to be an interim agreement on trade it is unlikely that the conflict between the 2 will go away so people should really position themselves for a long hard flicked or to see what happens there for the moment pauline long thanks very much for joining us mogul thank you now brazils president says an oil spill polluting his countrys northeastern beaches since Early September is not a brazilian origin with an investigation still underway scheibel sonora says it could be the result of criminal activity or a shipwreck so when it has more.

The center of this storm so as you go through wednesday weve already got some rain just carrying away from japan and then as this storm system moves its way northward it will of course bring the rain and also to these really powerful winds with it so as we get towards the end of the week even by thursday certainly the seas will be particularly rough obviously leading up to these coastal areas and that she the winds really beginning to have an impact and then by friday it gets close to still but this is a says a few days away the track a little and we will keep you very well updated.

May threaten to withhold Security Cooperation from the European Union if it doesnt get a deal soon according to the spectator magazine now the magazine cited British Government sources as saying downing street will take an aggressive stance if talks break down Prime Minister Boris Johnson will have to ask the e. U. For a delay to brets it if he cannot negotiate a deal by the end of the month lets get more on this from lawrence who of course will talk about spectator magazine the moment laurence about say ok can you just talk us through the timeline of whats going to happen today in parliament. What it is the last day of parliament to be honest before its suspended before the queens speech next week so not very much happening but there but the most important thing to focus on really is. To begin with this anonymous briefing that came from downing street overnights to the spectator magazine extremely belligerent in one way this unnamed source who is assumed to be Boris Johnsons chief of staff Dominic Cummings effectively saying were leaving either at the end of october or if not and there has to be an extension the conservative party will campaign in the general election on a platform of leaving with no deal if said this anonymous source were forced to stay in the European Union we will try to undermine the block from within in the way that you suggested in in your introduction and the source also said that he expected the talks with the e. U. To break down this week because from downing street points of view they had put forward what they see as a compromise plan and the European Union had no chop with it and so it was either if you if you look at it one way a very belligerent this is what were doing take it or leave it attitude or obviously from downing street point of view it is their final attempt to push through the will of the people to leave the European Union with or without any sort of deal but given how much hostility there is from the European Union towards Boris Johnson and his proposed compromise its really hard to see anything but the talks collapsing at some point this week and yet we see that on one side lawrence yet we also perhaps believe there are lines of communication that continue to be open especially with other big hitters like angela merkel. Well im not sure thats true anymore she had a phone call this morning with Boris Johnson in which according to downing street anyway we havent heard from from merkel herself but downing street says that merkel said to Boris Johnson your plans never going to work she they say that she said Northern Ireland has to stay in the Customs Union in this trade bloc to protect the integrity of an open island forever now thats entirely unacceptable to downing street and based on that downing street spin briefing that effectively its dead you know theyve been saying there is no chance if the European Unions few not only have a deal now but a deal ever right successor based on that if thats the way that theyre seeing things if the European Union saying that it into talks will collapse like to this week some people are not in the Boris Johnson might even come out later today and announce of the talks are off it looks very much like they have started to reach the end of the road and the question obviously danny is what on earth happens in the european summit next week does the European Union try to extend or not because many moving parts are in that story or breaks it and lawrence will follow developments with you through the day thank you now even the stars are in luxembourg trying to Reach Agreement on the share of migrants that each member state should take germany france italy and malta of the greek to a proposal that would automatically distribute migrants rescued from the mediterranean but they need the backing of the states the plan to work the process this is ongoing and were looking for to get as many Member States involved as possible and this is as i mentioned this is only one solution that were looking forward finessed president says looking forward to pushing the c. I. S. Package forward as much as possible. The meeting comes as rescuers continue their search for at least 15 people who are missing after an overloaded migrant boat capsized near the italian island of lampedusa at least 13 women died some of them pregnant 22 were rescued the boat had set sail from tunisia libya on board was given life jackets more than a 1000 people have died in the Mediterranean Sea this year.

New zealand has logged 250 years since the arrival of british colonialists a replica of captain james cooks and devore herself into has been where it landed in 1769 protesters gathered at the shoreline they say the occasion shouldnt be honored a centuries of colonial rule have discriminated against the indigenous maori. Since the landing of. These its been nothing but distress dishonesty. Killing you name it weve done it 250 years of aden here we started this day when food is a Race Relations commissioner the New Zealand Human Rights Commission is and gives been where the endeavor 1st arrived and where he was formally the meth for 18 years good to have you with a certain live on aljazeera i mean 250 years on how should we globally and also from a new zealand perspective be marking this day is it a celebration is it a commemoration. Well its a. Commemoration of this but more importantly is to acknowledge the history or place here in a 3rd of its. 7069 lead into wrong i mean. He when he lived he could have poverty by. Knowing mali people were killed during his 1st visit. During a story will to know good faith and i believe in form to acknowledge that and to ensure that our troops continue to know their stories as well and of course the day is full of mixed emotions for as you say for many people mainly the maori a bloody interaction when cook 1st arrived on the island and of course it doesnt make the data very significant one in the lead up to the 250th anniversary how have relations dare i say improved between native indigenous maori and you might say white colonialists in the generations that followed them well as good. British high commissioner. Laura actually offered a. Message of regret for the mood is all. They can see me in 69 said they were down about 2 days ago and that was a very difficult. The discussion between the we and the British High Commission but they have negotiated that peace all great and hopefully that relationship will continue to build and im generally in mali doing well in the end you could have been east coast. They will continue to do better is time goes all in on the given the strict council is also facilitated the telling of these stories where once upon a time hes been a cook book but now we actually have a balance of stories of money economists stories and a lot of the cooks of each other and indeed in todays new zealand one might ask what the legacy is because no place on the earth has a utopian society all situation issues of discrimination continue amongst the indigenous communities so how are the authorities how are the government trying to redress that balance if they are a toll why are we getting these new tamale in the crown back and 840. 00 signed the treaty or white i mean will it in a white county and then promise and the people rights in governorship and the language in the culture and probably not only it was actually up how now we go through a procedure or treat your wife any traits we actually get a.

Through them very charismatic politician with a populist streak he governed with an iron hand assisted by billions of dollars sent by the United States he successfully pushed a goodly your group back into the jungle but his success came at a cost his administration particularly during his 2nd term was beset by corruption and human rights abuses his secret service was found guilty of supplying a list of suspected rebel sympathizers to right wing death squads and thousands of innocent colombians were killed by the army and presented as rebels to boost statistics i think are long history with the Armed Conflict not related to some of the human that mentions and consequences of the conflict right people dont care if some human rights are trampled in the process that its about to go back to the beginning of his career as he was accused of connections with drug cartels including the escobar and being the mastermind behind the creation of the paramilitary groups yet despite hundreds of investigations he has never been charged until now. He remains popular in a secret society in this his particular him his party still his duty percent of the vote and theres an institutional here to touch up where the president is his men secondly these investigations havent prospered until now various witnesses in paramilitary trials have been killed and this.

If thats for sure the consequences of our passage here into our values we still feel its critically important we adhere to those values irans female football fans are just days away from making history in their country on thursday theyll be allowed into the stadium to watch their team play cambodia in a fifo while qualify 3500. 00 tickets allocated for a special womens section sold out within minutes but the decision has been met by protests in tehran around 50 religious hardliners demonstrated outside the Parliament Building on monday iranian women have been banned from attending mens matches until now our correspondent same bus ravi sat down with irans Vice President of family and Womens Affairs for an exclusive interview she says iran will keep fighting for gender equality sometimes this issue is blown out of proportion i think the important area which is sometimes now overlooked on this issue of womens. Attending different football events or entering the stadiums is the issue of sports for you vonnie and women in general. Women are now entering for several years in National Leagues championships in different fields including football including volleyball including different types of sports sports for women its more than just entering the stadiums its the fact that theyve advanced in championships but also in public sports who are now working for gender justice one of the di mentions of gender justice and justice for women in access to sports facilities so that in every city even in the smaller cities we make sure that women also have access to the different sports facilities that they mean for example the gym is the Swimming Pools if theres only one Swimming Pool in a small city they should allocate half the time to woman thats thats the meaning of gender justice one of the ideas that was floated is instead of segregation you can proceed with open seating for all genders within the framework of family sections is that something i think that would be possible probably in the future 10. 00 so only a matter of time perhaps a lot of time and some its a tender mentality and i think its coming and its very close to our islamic values its very close to our family values but we have to work at it you know your government your government you are a part of is arguably one of the most progressive that iran has seen in recent memory certainly but you have on one side that is pressuring iran threatening to ban iran from International Competition on the other side you have hardliners saying that they dont want women to have open access to be able to enter the stadiums freely in some ways it really seems like the government is caught the middle is like dancing in a 2 headed straight you know how do you how do you square the circle how do you want to see that now were seeing the results were seeing that the government has made serious efforts that and and we hope to see a game where we have women sitting in the stadium and watching and i think that we were moving ahead.
