Russia is warning Syrian Kurdish fighters will be mauled by turkey if they dont pull back from the border it says the kurds had been betrayed by the u. S. And was encouraging them to stay and fight they now have 150 hours to withdraw starting in 2 hours thats under a new deal between moscow and ankara and the 6 day russian and Syrian Forces will move into a 30 kilometer zone along the Turkish Border thats the next 6 days well be talking live to Charles Stratfor shortly hes an asacol a 1st step boss and sent us this report from sochi where president s early on and putin finalize the new agreement. With only i was left of the u. S. Brokered cease fire in syria russia stopped it president putin offered how to remove and this. At the turkish Syrian Border together with Syrian Border troops. Sure turkeys concerned about the growing threats of terrorism and the growth of ethnic tensions in the region the stench use and the separatist mood in recent times where in our opinion artificially created by outsiders. Goodish fighters have until next tuesday evening local time to clear turkeys 30 kilometers socalled safe zone Russian Military police will then start joint patrols with Turkish Forces along almost the entire North EasternSyrian Border what is on the barrel moving threats posed by either terrorist organization this operation in syria guarantees syrias territorial integrity and political unity we never had eyes on the countrys territory and sovereignty as turkey all steps we are taking in the field we have taken with sensitivity. Both leaders agreed that the Syrian Constitutional Committee should start its work on october 30 despite the current actions on the ground within insists the courts should be part of the political solution for syria after a long discussion with president putin not only manage to become the main power broker in syria he also gain territory for his ally syrian president assad who now gets back control over coastal border areas but we can only call this a russian success if they manage to remove and this our borders fighters from this 30 kilometers zone. Only down will the Turkish Military operation and according to the Russian Foreign minister who spoke after the meeting put and also made it clear that for any future solution in syria the turkish and Syrian Government have to reach their own deal russia once the revived in 1998 agreement between syria and turkey in which syria committed to stop supporting could issue fighters russia was quick to fill the vacuum left by the u. S. Withdrawal from North Eastern syria but by moscows own admission. Achieving any kind of lasting solution will be a long and complicated process stepless an aljazeera sochi. Lets take a closer look at the safe zone ankara wants to create as we mentioned it will run along an area around 30 kilometers inside syria along the Turkish Border and russian and turkish joint patrols are run up to 10 kilometers deep on both sides of an area that runs between talab yard and on lets go to the border now for the latest developments there Charles Stratford is an os a collie so charles what is the situation on the ground as are any warning get from the s. D. F. Well certainly no fighting reported over over the overnight but yeah no word yet from the a. S. D. F. No reaction from them about this memorandum the agreement between the turks and the russians. The fact of the matter is though that the Kurdish Forces are in a very difficult position lets not forget. They accuse the americans of letting them down to being stabbed in the back in which we were in their forces for the turks to then launch their military operation they were then forced to turn to the Syrian Regime and the russians for their help and now we have this agreement between the russians and the turks demanding that the remaining Kurdish Forces withdraw that 30 kilometers from an area that if you do the math is around 320 kilometers along the border. So far certainly the Turkish Military says that it will at this stage not resume any kind of military action against the kurds the kurdish fighters but all eyes on them in terms of how they will respond to this agreement because russia are saying now that if indeed those fighters do not withdraw to 30 kilometers within the next 6 days then turkey has the right to resume its military campaign against them for all this is a huge loss after what are the implications for the kurds in Northern Syria. Well its. A very worrying situation one would think if youre kurdish and living in Northern Syria lets not forget also that. In Northern Syria over recent years the kurds led by the have tried to establish what they describe as a de facto semi autonomous state and they were almost sort of supported in that endeavor by the americans this agreement now between the russians and the turks basically puts an end to that analysts saying that the kurds can forget any kind of notion in the future of any kind of autonomy there is deep distrust between the kurds and obviously the Syrian Regime it was only a couple of days ago that the Assad Government described the kurds as being traitors and separatists so there is a very uncertain future firstly for the kurdish fighters who we havent heard of yet and the long term political future of the kurds in Northern Syria although russia seems very kate as it says to bring the Syrian Regime and the kurds into to a lot of Unanswered Questions with respect to the political future of the kurds of Northern Syria. Stratford live for us and its a colleague thank you yes defense secretary marcus far has arrived in baghdad to discuss the deployment of u. S. Troops in iraq as per says all u. S. Troops leaving syria will go to western iraq and will continue to fight i saw that the Iraqi Military says the u. S. Does not have permission to stay there as soldiers withdrew from Northern Syria just before the Turkish Operation against kurdish fighters began for more on lets bring in our correspondent. Baghdad this seems to be a pretty significant misunderstanding if thats what you want to call it and what do we know. It was a very confused situation just 3 days ago we were hearing from the Iraqi Government that those u. S. Forces leaving northeastern syria would be able to go to. Base in western iraq now there are already about 5000. 00 u. S. Troops in iraq as part of a previous agreement and it was presumed that that would just be those troops would just be added to that agreement and then on wednesday a very strong statement from the Iraqi Military saying look theyre only allowed to transit through iraq theyre not allowed to stay and then were hearing that they may well go to kuwait in the south which is a significant distance away from northeast and syria i think the problem is the language that the u. S. Have used what theyve said is that the u. S. Forces will come back to. In western iraq and mount operations against syria from there and against eisel from there and that seems to the iraqis know what the iraqis have actually said is that we are going to meet with the Prime Minister and the foreign minister will meet with marcus per the secretary of defense and we are hoping for some clarity on exactly what this deal means that should be a press conference in the coming hours well find out exactly what both parties and what agreement theyve come to then right and wrong caught up with the latest from back at enron thank you. All the top u. S. Diplomat in ukraine has wrapped up 10 hours of testimony as part of the impeachment inquiry into donald trump democrats leading the depositions a William Taylor provided the clearest account that the u. S. President pressured ukraine twin best to get a political rival and exchange for military aid good to reports. William taylor is the acting u. S. Ambassador to ukraine a career diplomat who has served democrats and republican administrations the white house ordered him to ignore the impeachment inquiry he defied that instruction his close to testimony may be highly damaging to preston trump he was worried a white house meeting with ukraines new president what amuses lensky was being held up until he delivered ukrainian help in investigating Donald Trumps political rival joe biden in his Opening Statement he said he spoke with ambassador gordon some learned the u. S. Envoy to the European Union during that phone call ambassador solon told me that President Trump had told him that he wants president zelinsky to state publicly that ukraine will investigate bris milah and legit ukrainian interference in the 26000. 00 election taylor said in a statement joe bidens son hunter had been a board member a Ukrainian Gas Company taylor continued ambassador soul and also told me that he now recognized that he had made a mistake by earlier telling the ukrainian officials to whom he spoke that the white house meeting with preston selenski was dependent on a public announcement investigation in fact ambassador solon said everything was dependent on such an announcement including Security Assistance while the press and wasnt calling this a quid pro quo taylor suggests thats exactly what it was soliciting for help in the us elections is illegal in my can short months in congress its not even. And this is the most disturbing day in congress so far a growing number of americans believe donald trump should be impeached and removed from office for the 1st time that number is more than 50 percent the president has tried to discredit the investigation tweeting all republicans must remember what they are witnessing here a lynching the president should not compare. A constitutionally mandated impeachment inquiry to such a dangerous and dark chapter of American History other democrats called the lynching reference disgusting but one of the president s biggest supporters wasnt ready to back down in every sense this is a mob taking over the rule of law this is fundamentally unamerican and until that changes i will fight back as hard as i can to the house and vest again continues laws behind closed doors but they are plans for open hearing soon a vote in impeachment could come before the end of the year. 0 join us now is brian class hes professor of Global Politics at University College london thank you for joining us. This seems to be a real Inflection Point and the impeachment and the station what is the the biggest takeaway for you from ambassador taylors testimony 10 hours of testimony. Well you know in the watergate hearings in the 1970 s. There was the moment of the smoking gun which changed everything and i think that this testimony will be seen in history of the smoking gun for trump it is absolutely clear what happened now and its the most blatant abuse of power in modern president ial history where you have a clear quid pro quo where President Trump effectively extorted a Foreign Government and said you can only have military assistance in the form of antitank missiles if you investigate my political opponents and make a public announcement of doing that its extremely easy to understand which has a devastating political effect because voters are going to see exactly what happened and the person conveying the message is extraordinarily credible you know a former soldier a decorated diplomat somebody who has served under republican and democratic administrations and its probably the worst day politically and legally in Donald Trumps presidency for the implications here and even with that credibility that you mentioned for ambassador taylor white house is trashing him for lack of a better word trashing him what are the implications for the state department with the way they have handled this and the fact that it was a whistle blower that brought all this forward none of these other people that are now testifying actually came forward do you think they should have. Yeah i think they should have but i think that its also something were bill taylor is going to be seen very well in history for speaking out the way he did i think as for the state department you know i mean the career professionals there are watching this closely and you see somebody like bill taylor who served his country with distinction for several decades being called a radical on elected bureaucrat by the white house i think its going to cause more people to want to speak out to violate the state departments guidance that says they shouldnt testify before congress which they probably shouldnt be giving that order in the 1st place because congress has a legitimate investigation here and i also think its going to cause you know potential defections from the state Department People leaving if this is what its going to be like because u. S. Diplomacy is supposed to advance the National Interest it is not supposed to advance the president s personal or political interests and its very clear thats been contorted by trump for that goal and so you know i hope that there will be more people who if they see these types of abuses of power which are simply improper and definitely illegal as well that they speak out because thats their responsibility as Public Servants so brian if this is what we know d what is it that we dont know is there some sort of mechanism to i dont know audit the state department i mean to look into into interactions with other ambassadors other countries. Yes i think this is this is a very important question because the more that comes out about this episode with ukraine the more the obvious question is raised what else are we missing is this just the tip of the iceberg and you wonder about the calls in particular when there were fewer people involved because this ukraine scandal had a massive amount of tentacles all throughout different departments and still it took a whistleblower for us to find out about it so what about President Trumps private interactions with heads of state what about the ones where hes only got one or 2 people on the phone call and thats something that the democrats in congress are certainly going to make a cornerstone of the impeachment inquiry is to figure out if theres more and thats why i think republican senators are in a very precarious position as they defend trump and why this could turn over the next coming months because if there is more if this is the tip of the iceberg then you know theyre very far out on a limb trying to protect trump and he might be he might have already saw that off from them and theyre just not aware of it yet always gets talked bill class thank you very much brian pardon me and thank you.
