That started when u. S. Troops withdrew but turkeys president is palin to push ahead of her guard. And a former s. S. Guard at a nazi concentration camp goes on trial in germany the 93 year old is accused of being an accessory to more than 1000. 00 counts of murder so why has it taken so long for this trial to take place. Im sumi so much going to thank you for joining us britain and the e. U. Say they have reached a deal on the u. K. s withdrawal from the European Union british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson is hailing it as a quote great new deal and urging the u. K. Parliament to approve it this week johnson and European Commission president have just been talking about the breakthrough in brussels the deal has resulted a range of sticking points and. Its set to be agreed in principle at a European UnionLeaders Summit which is supposed to start shortly but johnsons Northern Irish allies in parliament they do you say they do not back the deal well lets hear what the 2 had to say about some key issues. And this is. Really. Just could be. Improved arent. We have. To protect the right. One to protect peace and stability on the. Caribbean node on the private. Market protect. These its not about us. Is about peter. Piece i do think that this deal represents a very good deal breaker for the e. U. And the u. K. And its a reasonable outcome. Flex the large amount of work thats being undertaken by by both sides and i really very much drawn toward what you said about protecting the Peace Process in the. Northern ireland and of course for us in the u. K. It means that we can deliver a real brick seat that achieves our views all right lets go to our correspondent who is following all the action for us from brussels a garret tell us more about what Boris Johnson and John Klein Juncker have been saying. I started out by saying we have a deal and it is really if you listen to those words you could get a sense of the relief that is there on the part of the european institutions on the part of the e. U. Member states for a number of reasons really 1st of all of course a lot of haggling months and weeks of hard work on the part of the negotiators that has now produced a fruitful result secondly its good news that a disorderly practice it at least from the part of the use of the table and certainly and crucially as the e. U. Come what may will not be the party that is to be blamed for not reaching out to the u. K. Not for not trying everything to avoid that disorderly brecks it and so it is when you listen to both leaders they reiterated that you clearly had also the sensation when you listen to Boris Johnson he has fully understood that it disorderly practice it would have catastrophic consequences for the ukase economy so he also emphasized that this is a good deal and of course that he hopes that parliament can be convinced in the u. K. To agree to that deal. It was interesting to see that they held a joint press Conference Although we should say that they didnt take questions from reporters but it seems like there is a determined effort here to really have a harmonious summit with a good break that agreement for all sides to really painful to as a success. A yes and no because when Boris Johnson went on to say at the end of this meeting that this is great and after all it is the u. K. And the rest of europe who are key allies and partners and this is a day for celebrations and for success that is one junco juncker added at the end of the press Conference Look this is a sad day for us we are preventing a loose new situation this is the minimum we could have reached this avoiding a wuss Case Scenario and that is very much the feeling when you listen to leaders who were arriving here many of them have said. Cautious optimism they know very well that weve already been in that situation we already had in the e. U. A situation where a jury some a was here where she said she has the consent from the do you be and then she didnt wear the steel a similar deal didnt fly and we were back at square one and so the feeling here really is yes we want a deal to avoid worst Case Scenario but must nothing more nothing less all right while the 1st comments we heard today about this deal came from the e. U. Breaks that they go here to michele by a year and he made it very clear that this new agreement would prevent either side from driving any unfair advantages over the other he talked about a level Playing Field for future economic relationships lets listen to what he said. We have agreed. On are solid guarantees for the level Playing Field to facilitate an ambitious Free Trade Agreement that actually is without terrorists and quotas. On this point i would like to testify having discussed is often when ive visited various parts of the European Union to the fact that all Member States the European ParliamentNational Parliaments all and obviously businesses and members of the Business Community whom ive met. Have paid a great deal of attention and will continue to do so in terms of having. A common pair of sandals that will apply at the end of the transition for social rights Environmental Protection stage and age and taxation matters so garrett how important is this idea of the leving level Playing Field or to e. U. Member states. For the e. U. It is absolutely crucial that they protect the internal market and it will be interesting to see look lets remind our viewers were talking here about a revised Withdrawal Agreement so a new trade agreement a new trade relationship still has to be hammered out that is now part of the political declaration and it is quite interesting to see that that is something that has changed back from run theresa may have provided a deal she wanted to see a much closer relationship to the European Union than Boris Johnson he wants or rather loose the free trade deal with the e. U. And that is why for the e. U. The irish backstop solution a solution that provides prevents a border on the island of ireland is so much more crucial than it was even before. Matters for us there in brussels thank you very much. And look at the reaction from london our correspondent standing by for us there can tell us what the reaction there from political london this all happened it seemed to happen very fast earlier today tell us what youve been hearing a thing there. Really fast i have to say i think some people were really surprised at how fast this happened in the course of the morning really everything changed jerry london a lot of people really didnt expect that buzz johnson would get any deal through and now eyes are on this institution on British Parliament because now this deal needs to go through parliament and then we simply dont know whether this is going to happen the reaction so far has been mixed we know that the labor party are saying that theyre not going to back Boris Johnson still in fact they are saying theyre backing a 2nd referendum a conservatory referendum so thats a recent change and asked ons we are looking really how far the support is within Boris Johnsons own party he had excluded several m. P. s who were. Talking his brags that line we dont know how they are going to decide on the day that there is a crucial vote which will be on next saturday and also. On the Northern Irish unionists so they have to always deemed as very very important for Boris Johnson it has been said that they really need to back his deal now they dont we they have put out a statement they say they dont back this deal so the question is how many of johnsons own m. P. s will then say well if they do you see if the north Northern Irish allies of the conservative party if they dont back it that then a lot of conservative m. P. s also not going to be really were not sure we know that this on saturday an extra extraordinary sitting off the u. K. Parliament and then all this will be discussed all right so the numbers are anything but theyre very good and get the british Prime Minister sounded very confident very optimistic earlier today when he announced that he had struck this great deal as he called it so how is this still different from the agreement that the former u. K. Prime minister 3 say may reach i mean has he managed to square the circle that nobody seemed to be able to do before. Well i think is seen as a victory that he actually has managed to reopen this Withdrawal Agreement the e. U. Had maintained that thats not going to happen but Boris Johnson has actually managed to get them to to renegotiate and and get the irish back stuff which was toxic get that removed from from this agreement and replace it with a solution that is actually very similar to what series a may had proposed but also that had had been voted down so its its seen as an astonishing victory in the 1st place but we dont know whether this is actually going to be enough to get the numbers here and parliament all right or something certainly has his work cut out from the next few days mass for us there in london thank you so much. Moving on to some other news now and turkey is continuing its off fence of against kurdish militias in Northern Syria with further shelling of towns near the border this morning president to one has rejected International Calls to halt the operation nonetheless u. S. Vice president mike pence and secretary of state mike pump aoe have arrived in turkey to try to broker a cease fire the u. S. Has threatened punishing economic sanctions over the operation which turkey launched after the u. S. Unexpectedly withdrew troops from the area trump has been accused of abandoning kurdish fighters who were washingtons Main Partners in the battle against the socalled Islamic State in syria. And lets get some analysis on this story in istanbul we have our correspondent dorian jones standing by for us and here in the studio we have henning rica with us from the German Council on Foreign Relations good to have you both dorian lets start with you there in istanbul do we know anything about the talks so far and whether turkey really would agree to a cease fire. Well we dont really have any information about the talks other than they are believed to be continuing in fact turkish officials have been playing down any hope of any kind of breakthrough theyve been say suggesting this will just be a Frank Exchange of views uncurled washington really are loggerheads over this operation and relations have been plummeting ever since it was launched and following sanctions being enforced by trump earlier this week and the message from the turkish president project type urged on was that we will not in this operation until all our objectives are achieved and dismissed calls from President Trump of some kind of mediation saying we dont sit down with terrorists to turkey really has been setting out to stall ahead of these what was described as critical talks saying dont expect any compromise what we expect is support from our allies so it is expect to be very tough meetings but given the fact that expectations are so low they could be possibly some kind of gestures from both sides i think is a rescue recognition of Congress Part that it may not suit his interest to escalate tensions with washington at this moment or it having lets talk about how this looks from the u. S. Perspective because the president trying very defensive about his position to withdraw u. S. Troops there that decision and he said that the u. S. Has no stake in defending kurdish fighters so why is he sending this delegation of my pump and my pets so 1st of all he wanted to withdraw american troops to fulfill a Campaign Promise and to play to its to his populist arguments that he wants to have no soldiers fighting in somebody elses war and this is the sound of his message here but i think he has lost touch with his own base a bit and with the report with the republicans in the congress who are there to support him and he was he was surprised over the criticism and the anger the cold and of course all these people know that america by withdrawing looks like betraying its allies gives room for russia it might bring the. He states to the fore again it might give room to iran and all the other little very closely whole america so the democrats great yeah hes been on the receiving end of a lot of criticism also from his own party as you said heading during the coming back to you you know president air to one is said under no circumstances will i talk about a ceasefire why does it seem that washington has so little influence right now on ancora. Well despite threats from president to try to obliterate turkeys economy and introducing sanctions earlier this week they were largely seen as symbolic and pretty much meaningless although my Vice President prince is expected to leave a message saying look if you carry on like this there are far more to coney and measures being demanded in washington from congress who are calling for much more severe sanctions which President Trump may not be able to veto given that there is bipartisan support from both democrats and republicans for those messages for those measures but uncle will be calculating that it will take time for those sanctions to pass and then to be in force and by then uncle will be hoping that this operation will be coming to an end to his defense minister did say that the end could be possibly in sight soon but on creates a way it is facing growing International Isolation not only from washington the European Union and the arab league but crucially now moscow moscow is now calling for this operation to end and president one is due to meet with the russian president Vladimir Putin next week and those talks are seen as crucial because moscow is seen now with the key player in this region and telling me what you know we saw yesterday there was a letter from president trying to present aerator one that was leaked it was dated last week i think we can bring up those pictures of that letter there we have it there he says and im going to read this out a part of this he says lets work out a good deal you dont want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people and i dont want to be responsible for destroying the turkish economy and then he goes on to say history will look upon you favorably if you get this done the right and humane way it will look upon you for ever as the devil if good things dont happen dont be a tough guy dont be a fool this was sent just before anyone announced that incursion what do you think it says about what the president and the u. S. Are willing and able to do to stop their doing here. It is of course a threatening letter it says if you go on with this operation we will destroy the turkish economy something the trump also has said publicly. But. Of course its not very sensitive and i wonder if you have this stubborn determined turkish leader wants to go ahead with this operation that he has announced long before with lots of domestic support. To treat this man without the slightest modicum of respect and bully him in a decision dont be a fool this colloquial way of saying things i think this will this will simply go the wrong way in turkey and it shows a bit the lack of diplomatic skills and negotiation skills that trump s. As of this moment. I think basically the the end will be that russia that turkey has the triple of of. Syria under its control that it wants to have and what you can hope for is that might come out of the meeting today that this is done in a way that respects human hearing needs of the of the people that has. Very gradually. Control of what the term what the turks do and. I think this is the best we can expect ok well well have to see how the meeting plays out will be following it of course very closely heading reka from the German Council on Foreign Relations and adoring jones for us in if them both thank you both for your analysis but now to some other stories making headlines around the world officials in the philippines say at least 4 people have died after an earthquake caused a fire at a Shopping Mall as well as a landslide a 6. 3 magnitude quake hit the south of the country on wednesday.
