Lead. The United States is to withdraw all its remaining troops up to 1,000 soldiers from Northern Syria, as turkeys offensive against the kurds intensifies. The us defence secretary said kurdish fighters would now be backed by syria and russia, and america could not be caught between two opposing armies. Tonight, Syrian Government troops are said to be heading towards the border after agreeing a deal with the kurds. The Turkish Operation is aimed at creating a so called safe zone in that area. The un says more than 100,000 people have been fleeing, and families of is fighters are said to be among those whove escaped from a camp that was guarded by the kurds. Aleem maqbool reports from inside Northern Syria. The anguish that only comes from loss. This brother and sister mourn theirfather, who was killed in the shelling by turkey of their residential neighbourhood. The kurds here have already suffered so much, and every day of turkeys offensive brings new chaos. These are thought to be just a handful of the hundreds of women and children who, as turkeys attacks got closer, escaped a kurdish camp that held them. Most were relatives of Islamic State group fighters. It is not the first massive Security Breach brought on by the turkish aggression. Five captured is fighters escaped from a prison here, too, after it was shelled. We found it abandoned, the remaining prisoners moved into other already overwhelmed facilities. The authorities here say they are already struggling with the resources to hold many thousands of what are among the most dangerous prisoners in the world, from the so called Islamic State group. What they warn is that with any further destabilisation caused by this assault from turkey, many more could escape and potentially regroup, undoing the massive effort it took to capture them and take their territory back. Already, is says it was behind this car bomb that killed three people. The fear is that far worse is to come. All the while, turkeys offensive goes on. This evening, a convoy travelling close to the border was attacked with more kurdish casualties, and with us troops having now been ordered to leave this part of the country, and syria saying it is sending troops into kurdish areas, more turmoil is on the horizon. Aleem maqbool, bbc news, in Northern Syria. Wael alzayat is ceo of an organistaion that promotes Muslim AmericanCivic Engagement and political mobilization, and a professor at Georgetown University school of foreign service. He joins us from washington. These reports are saying the kurds have done a deal with the assad regime. If that is the case, how significant would it be . Quite significant, potentially. It would enable the Syrian Regime to move into areas it has long sought to reclaim its control over. Quite frankly, it hands the regime the areas on a silver platter because those are the areas that the International Community and other countries fought a very hard to liberate from isis. We have heard from the commander of the kurdish lead Syrian Defence force, saying that a compromise was preferable to the genocide of the kurdish people. How likely do you think a genocide could be . From the perspective of the ypg, these kurdish militias, one can sympathise with their view is that this could be a genocide against them, their fighters, that this could be a genocide against them, theirfighters, their families. Certainly i would be worried if i were them. Their turks and the allied arab militias moving against them, these particular militias were actually evicted by the ypg in an Ethnic Cleansing Campaignafew the ypg in an Ethnic Cleansing Campaign a few years ago. So there is some bad blood between them. I do not accept the statement that there is an impending genocide against all kurdish syrians, kurdish syrians account for about 10 12 of the population. The Turkish Operation and the syrian allies of theirs are not interested in annihilating the syrian kurds. They are specifically going after the ypg. In terms of isis in Northern Syria, how worried should we be about what is happening now and its impact on isis fighters that are there . We should be worried as well. This chaos, this fighting between a nato ally and isis partners and the possibility of the regime and the russians are benefiting from it creates a vacuum, clearly, there are some prisoners who have already been attacked and some people who have escaped from them. So this group can easily merge into the local population, go underground, and recruit again. And soi underground, and recruit again. And so i would be concerned, though i dont assess this to be a major crisis yet, because the caliphate, as it was called, was defeated physically. And it is going to take a lot of things happening for it to come back to the strength it was before. It is certainly a security challenge and they have the capacity and willingness to carry out suicide bombings and other attacks against soft ta rg ets bombings and other attacks against soft targets in europe and elsewhere. In terms of the United States and its role in all of this, how do you view the last moves by the United States . How big a mistake do you think it has made here . Well, it was a major mistake by the. Well, it seems it was mainly trumped himself who made this decision, arbitrarily, without notifying the pentagon or other key cabinet officials. Trump himself. We really need to go back to 2014 and ask ourselves whether it was prudent for the 0bama administration to bet its entire counter isis strategy on the ypg, knowing fully well that the turkish would never accept them on the southern border, and a lot of the southern border, and a lot of the Syrian People dont identify with the ypg. But what alternatives. With the ypg. But what alternatives. They with the ypg. But what alternatives. They are a minority within a minority. What alternatives did the admonish that the 0bama administration have at that point . It could have supported the moderate Syrian Opposition and be fsa fighters who were in aleppo, and throughout the country, fighting against the Syrian Regime and the russian air force. But that was going to be your most reliable, credible ground force. And u nfortu nately credible ground force. And unfortunately that was not the decision that was taken. Thank you so much forjoining us. Thank you. Theres been more violence across hong kong for a 19th consecutive weekend, with protestors smashing buildings and clashing with the police. Disturbances were not on the scale of previous pro democracy demonstrations but still dozens of arrests were made. In a highly symbolic move, a group of protesters have dragged a large statue depicting a masked demonstrator onto a famous outcrop overlooking hong kong. The 3m tall lady liberty, a key fixture of the huge Anti Government protests, now rests on lion rock. The Authorities Say one officer was injured during sundays protests when he was slashed in the neck. A warning you may find some details in nick beakes report distressing. With no organised mass rally in hong kong today, the hard core took matters into their own hands. Trying to add fuel to a protest movement which feels like its losing momentum. Although they will tell you their so called fight for freedom will not stop. As the battle lines were drawn, the police held back. And soon government buildings, including this post office were being targeted, as well as chinese businesses. Well these hard core protesters aimless for a long time but basically they are snaking their way through the streets, and when they spot a place that they deem to be linked with the mainland, they attack it. In this case, its a chinese shop, we imagine they will disperse pretty soon before the police can arrive and they will keep on going through the streets. This area, tai po, was one of many across hong kong where mobile mobs roamed while they could. Well, the inevitable has happened, the police have finally turned up, in numbers, the protesters have already left and this is a game of cat and mouse that is playing out across this part of hong kong. Once again thousands of police had to be deployed to keep the peace, and found themselves under attack. This was the moment one officer was slashed in the neck, the assailant was detained and the officer taken to hospital, conscious. Hong kong police have been stretched forfour months now and have been forced to deny repeated accusations of heavy handedness. Theyre now trying to find protesters, but to be honest its like looking for a needle in a haystack, theyre running through the streets. But it seems a lot of the hard core protesters have simply melted away into the night. All the while life goes on, but its far from normal. This week the citys leaders will say more about how they intend to tackle its deep rooted problems. It is an almighty task. Lets get some of the days other news.

Emergency teams injapan have been working through the night as the true scale of the damage caused by typhoon hagibis becomes clearer. Huge swathes of land in several prefectures remain under water, after record rainfall caused rivers to break their banks. More than thirty people have died, and many others are missing. 0ur correspondent Rupert Wingfield hayes travelled north of tokyo, where rescue efforts are still underway.

I was so surprised. Japan is just starting to count the Economic Cost of this single storm. 0utside nagano city, a line of shiny bulet trains swamped by the floodwaters. Each one of these trains costs us 29 million. Stay with us on bbc news, still to come the parents of harry dunn, the 19 year old killed in a fatal car crash, take their search forjustice to america.

She has now issued a statement through her lawyer, which says but speaking to me on board their flight to new york, charlotte and tim said while they want to meet mrs sacoolas too, its the British Police she should be talking to. We felt like weve really got a breakthrough, we finally had confirmed that the immunity that we didnt think she had has been confirmed, that she doesnt have it. Certainly since she absconded back to the usa. The statement from her lawyer is promising, that we we may be able to hopefully get a meeting put together. I am unsure, if i am honest. Im more shocked. But hopeful that something can come of this. At the place where harry died in northamptonshire, new signs have been put up to warn motorists to drive on the left. Its alleged that mrs sacoolas, the wife of an american diplomat at a nearby base, was driving on the right at the time of the accident. Finding out what happened on that road in northamptonshire is why harrys parents have come to new york.
