commitment of south korea's traditional ally the united states. the sudden announcement by u.s. president donald trump to pull troops out of syria has alarmed to many here it's reinforced the belief that south korea has to become more self-reliant militarily especially when its neighbors are rapidly expanding their armies. japan under its conservative prime minister shinzo has increased its military spending for 8 consecutive years that's jew in part to the north korean threat but also to the increasing size of china's military. who put in until the root causes north korea's nuclear weapons development and its continued threats to its neighbors that's why south korea and japan have to prepare and there's china's military buildup and its expansionist policies. north east asian neighbors seemingly committed to an arms

a much abandonment of course the voices and did continue it just wasn't as prominent as it was in the 1st half so you wonder if the officials were actually just trying to find a way to get the much british the england play is despite this vile racist abuse i just wanted to get the much finished i wanted to win it in front of you on the pitch install and not rely on your wife for taking action in that why but surely it has come to the time where you wife how to be stronger the fines on not working their paltry sum times that was $20000.00 that's what macedonia were fined for rices and against england in the year the stadium closures don't work the kind of our action they need to look towards is to be in a position to cite a national associations legally we will kick you out of competitions if you want to repeat offenders and as we constantly say there are a lot of repeat offenders out there will turkey as players risky way for action

i'm stan grant this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up another trial delay in south africa president jacob zuma appeals for a permanent stay from prosecution in a corruption case the e use lead breaks it negotiated says it is possible to reach a deal with the u.k. this week but the chances of very slim. the international monetary fund warns global growth this year will be the weakest since the 2008 financial crisis blaming conflicts from trade to the middle east. it's the latest sign that a potential new flashpoint is emerging in the turkish offensive in northern syria turkey says 2 of its soldiers now were killed in an attack near man because it happened just as the u.s. completed its withdrawal from the city a small unit of syrian government soldiers is now inside man bitch their presence

sets up a potential class from turkish forces and this syrian rebel allies who are on the outskirts of the city russia says it's patrolling the dividing line between turkish and syrian government forces to prevent that confrontation the kremlin is on board to syria confirm that kurdish forces ceded territory to the syrian government as part of a deal brokered by moscow and the un's human rights office has expressed concern it's called on turkey to launch an independent investigation into possible war crimes it's gathering information about videos that appear to show summary executions. now we have our correspondents covering the latest developments from washington d.c. and moscow but 1st we're going to go to zain who's inserts near the turkish syrian border and zeina so much concern about the potential of a clash between syrian forces and turkish forces as well.

well the battle for members at least for the time being seems to be over because if turkey the turkish military and their local syrian allies advance towards the city center there could be the possibility of direct confrontation with the russian military you mentioned that the russian military police now patrolling the front line that is separating the turkish army from the syrian army russia basically laying claim to this city saying that the syrian army of course russia is backs the syrian army and toured the city so russia laying claim and there is quite concerned because this is a very strategic city its location on a highway the international highway that connects the east to the west of syria in the northern part of the country now for turkey it's vital that they take control of this city because if it is to create the safe zone it wants in the east of the euphrates it needs to be able to link the area it needs this bridge to link the

area to other areas under the control of their local allies west of the euphrates or else that safe zone will be an isolated pocket so a very strategic city now russia laying claim and what is interesting is what is going to happen to the relationship between turkey and russia 2 countries that have been working closely together in syria just yesterday the president president or the gun hinting that he had some sort of a green light from the russians who he was talking about coordination saying that the he thinks there will not be a problem if turkey is backed rebels will take control of members as well as bonnie and then now we hear from the russian defense ministry saying no there is no such deal ankara and moscow have no agreement on turkey's military operation in northern syria so turkey coming under a lot of pressure from the european union from the united states and from russia a country it has been working with in syria but the question is russia also needs turkey because without turkey it cannot push forward the political settlement in

syria so a very complicated situation. thank you we're going to go to vesa now who's live in moscow to answer some of those questions about what russia's role exactly easy in stepson many pieces in play and russia is critical to all of them how's he going to balance that relationship with turkey and also keep those 2 sides the turkish forces and the syrian government forces about. yes and it's already being called a balancing act that russia is so trying to perform in syria and the defense ministry here and also the special envoy for syria alex on the left a left off and play of so he has actually stressed that russia is in control and that there is this hotline that he is describing between the turkish forces and the russian forces also the russian military has been seen in members on the on the ground showing that there is that kind of control but as you say it is

a very complicated balancing act to keep turkey which is a very important ally to russia and especially to one and put in a very good friends there and they have to close relationship on the other hand of course russia has been backing syria in the war in the last couple of years so russia is trying to put this all together and interesting lee today also they managed they said that they didn't approve of the turkish operation that it was unacceptable and that russia was never never gave any green light didn't clear this operation so basically this is the 1st time that russia is condemning the turkish operation in the in the 1st few days of the operation so russia was kind of silence it also said it understood that turkey had this concerns on the border sort of indorsing the operation probably playing a wait and see role there but now they're kind of worried it seems that turkey is

maybe going further than. expected or maybe even has been agreed on so russia is now trying to stay in the middle and make sure that these 2 forces the syrian force on one side and the turkish force on the other side are not going to directly clash with each other step thank you our white house correspondent kimberly halted joins us now live from washington d.c. and kimberly you know just listening to that report on the ground from you know from what we're seeing on the border and also misting to the situation from russia it's incredibly food because all this happened because donald trump made that decision to pull back from that area with russia now a key player what's the view from washington. well there is a lot of concern on capitol hill was a federal holiday in the united states yesterday congress returning today expected to hit the ground running on those efforts to try and undo what the president did what they allege essential was a a green light for turkey would to advance in terms of its military operation with

the pulling back of u.s. troops now the u.s. has said for its part the white house specifically saying that it is just patching the vice president mike pence to the region a high level delegation believing that it has the gravitas to try and bring about a stability and a peaceful situation but there is not a lot of confidence in the u.s. congress so we have unlikely bedfellows working on legislation to go much further in terms of sanctions than we saw from the white house on monday will the white house put in place sanctions on former and current turkish officials halting discussions on a trade deal deal valued at $100000000000.00 and even putting back in place some sanctions or rather some steel tariffs back up to 50 percent what the congress wants to do is much more stringent essentially halting weapon sales to turkey it would also if they put in place this put the u.s.

president on notice he would have to sign this legislation because this is an effort to try and undo what he has done and what they believe that he has done is really harmed u.s. strategic interests namely allowed eisel to regroup and grow after the defeat by the white house that has claimed so this is an effort that's under way we're watching it very closely and also in the midst of this one other big question very quickly that is whether or not there will still be a meeting with the turkish leader and the u.s. president that is scheduled for november 13th right right now the white house says yes that meeting is still taking place to believe thank you so much for that will turkish military offensive has prompted volkswagen to delay a. decision on whether to build a car factory in the country it made the announcement following international criticism of the operation in syria and concerns over the potential for repeat fall out volkswagen established a subsidiary in western turkey earlier this month but says negotiations are ongoing

and a final decision has yet to be made the european union says reaching a break sit deal this week remains possible but the chances of becoming increasingly slim lead negotiator michaud bonnie and made the assessment during a meeting of e.u. ministers in luxembourg on tuesday politicians in the u.k. and in brussels are trying to reach a deal by the end of the week as the october 31st deadline approaches e.u. leaders be meeting for a 2 day summit from thursday. reaching an agreement. to the stupid question boom obviously any agreement must work for anyone to all. of the united kingdom come to hold of the european union. or. time. to turn good intentions in their legal protection. global economic growth this year is now predicted to be at 3 percent that's the
