The origin of the truck is still Unclear Police are now trying to piece together how its journey ended in tragedy you know because Charlotte Potts is in the Industrial Park in the town of grays east of london where the bodies were discovered and charlie are at the scene there what are the latest developments. Well police have cordoned off this area since the Early Morning hours the truck is right behind me then and then. Behind behind gates behind me and we were able to take a look at the truck very ordinary truck of course but forensic teams were walking on the truck and the 39. 00 bodies that were found inside of it by Ambulance Services and later Emergency Services here at the scene and essex so far authorities dont know who the victims were they havent identified them thats one of the Forensic Services have been working on the scene we believe that this is a tragic case of Human Trafficking on migrants trying to reach the United Kingdom it definitely reminds of an incident in 2015 when a truck was found with over 70 dead my grans in austria at the height of the refugee crisis and of course migrants and refugees trying to reach the United Kingdom frequently and hope for a better life so this is what we know so far its still ongoing of course and we know that that 25 year old Northern Irish dr is still in custody and is being questioned by the authorities as we speak and we have heard from those authorities that the investigation is really just beginning here theres some conflicting information about how the truck reached the u. K. Do we know anything else about that charlotte. Well right now believe that this truck when from a poets home an m. Belgium over to the United Kingdom to the county of essex where im at right now so to appall its very close to this Industrial Park this is the latest information that we have gods conflicting information because weve heard that the truck came maybe via island so authorities are looking at that right now before we were reporting that this truck had originated in bulgaria that doesnt seem to be the case the truck was just registered in bulgaria which is often the case with irish trucks the truck belonged to an Irish Company x. Reasons say its a stretch is that there so really the original if this truck is unknown and authorities are hoping that the driver can of course shut some of that light on that Charlotte Potts at the scene of this tragedy 39 people dead charlotte thank you so much for your reporting. U. S. President donald trump says that he is lifting economic sanctions on turkey after all great promise to make permanent a cease fire against Kurdish Militia in northeastern syria tromp making the statement in a press conference a short while ago he claimed credit for the outcome the cease fire requires Kurdish Forces to move out of a 30 kilometer zone on the Turkish Border turkey launched its offensive into northeastern syria after trump pulled u. S. Forces out of the region. Theres was an outcome created by us the United States and nobody else no other nation are simple and were willing to take blame and were also willing to take credit this is something theyve been trying to do for many many decades since then. Others have come out to help and we welcome them to do so other countries have stepped forward they want to help and we think thats great turkey syria and all forms of the kurds have been fighting for centuries we have done them a Great Service and weve done a great job for all of them and now were getting out lets get more now on the situation in Northern Syria we are joined by from the German Institute for international and Security Affairs get a welcome to the program id like to 1st ask you about that statement that we just heard from the u. S. President quite an upbeat statement essentially saying that by all indications turkey is making the ceasefire permanent lifting the sanctions against turkey your take. Well its the statement is is bizarre the sanctions were bizarre u. S. Policy was bizarre in recent weeks the United States has left no we do see russia the assad regime and turkey dividing north and syria between themselves this has nothing to do with the us and its not a success at all for the us and western policies in turn or and those 2 parties i mean now that there is you know no more u. S. Presence in the area those 2 parties essentially came up with this deal to sort of carve out the region yesterday where does this leave the kurds and the syrians well the syrians the Syrian Regime is winning together together with the russians simply because. The assad regime has been weak it suffers from a lack of personnel but because of the u. S. Withdrawal it has been able to regain control of some small parts of northeastern soria the syrian kurds they will lose their autonomy they are losing territory right now to the russians to the Syrian Regime and to the turks and in the end they will be they havent agreed to that they havent agreed to agree to that but that shows us something about their future the kurdish autonomy without American Protection will not continue to exist for a long time they have already they have already approached damascus and they will return to the syrian fold in the coming months or years we heard the German Defense minister weigh in yesterday on the situation there she suggested a security zone in Northern Syria what do you make of that proposal is it realistic could it possibly be implemented the way the europeans have no say in what is happening over there we have seen an agreement between russia and Turkey Russia is the protector of the syrians. Right now turkey has some influence and there is no way to bring back any western troops into the country without fighting for it and the germans are not ready ready for it my take on this situation is that the German Defense minister if she knew what she was talking about yesterday was talking or was addressing dimiss the mastic audience what she said has nothing to do whatsoever with the situation in syria and nothing nothing to do with the german syria policies in recent years is europe dropping the ball right now is nato dropping the ball right now on the we had secretary general you. Think its too early to judge the consequences of that deal that was struck between russia and turkey over Northern Syria your view oh its not the us is out without the us there is no western presence in the country anymore weve got some 200 us military and a ton of that is of no consequence to the to the future of the syrian state there is no nato no western presence in the country we have seen yesterday the new reality of syria its. Whos in charge and it is turkey and turkey only because putin wants to. Wants to break the alliance between turkey and the west thats the only reason why the turks are allowed to remain in syria right now thats the new reality on the ground it has nothing to do whatsoever with us. Middle east analyst thanks for your perspective. For a quick check of some other stories making news around the world nearly half of the population of north korea is undernourished according to the United Nations a u. N.

Chileans are planning more rallies and a general strike despite Economic Reforms announced by president pena in a bid to quell days of unrest at least 18 people have died since the demonstrations broke out last week i now familia scenes on the streets of the chilean capital santiago. So mr weeks the country has been that should be paralyzed by protests and riots i the unrest response when the government hiked subway prices but it since grown into a broader outcry against austerity and inequality was. The not this is nothing more than the demonstration of a general crosssection of discontent it isnt about political or class so Political Parties today its about the struggle of different sectors of people feeling the i dont know dialogue is impossible its impossible for president pinera to accept that this powerful hidden enemy is nothing more than us the people in the streets asking for equal rights thats all im not asking you to give me and friends its no longer about the lack of jobs its much more i have to make. On shews day about half of chile remained under emergency decree and some regions were under military caffeine. In an effort to ease tensions president Sebastian Pinera an announced a welfare package including a guaranteed minimum wage state pension increase and stabilised at tricity costs. If. It is true that the problems havent come about in the last few days theyve been building up over many decades and different governments were not able to recognise the situation in its total magnitude. Because this situation of inequity has led to a genuine and sincere movement on behalf of millions and millions of july owns. By recognizing demand for giving us for the lack of vision. I mean. Canaris proposal has been welcomed by some but others have called it may be cosmetic the country is braced for more protests. And joining us now to discuss this we have going to my old who is the latin american expert at the German Institute for international and Security Affairs thank you so much for joining us here on the program we just heard from piniella apologizing essentially for the lack of foresight coming up with this new proposal is that enough no its not enough because hes only talking to the economic and social sides here hasnt touched the political side you have have you problem busy bubble of the political elite in chile which is traditionally very closed and which has not been able even not to your position parties to get close to the people to have. Interests and russians reasons of the protest so there has to be a major effort to. Come to a dialogue which is not visit traditional forces but i mean for his part he says that there was a lack of foresight we know i mean its just a fact inequality in chile is higher than any other latin American Country that is surely no surprise to the political elites such as pena why has that fundamental changes been made earlier its the model of chile its a privatized model of Social Security is the model of looking for Economic Growth not so much looking to the social dimensions we have protests of students in 200620112 have been made in my just moments but always with the interests to maintain the model as it is working and know its the moment to revise the model and to begin the discussion in the country it will go to. And which is that model its made to spill so much lets talk about some other models because its not just the labor were seeing on rest on the streets such as those images that we have just been looking at also in ecuador for example civil war like conditions due to the Government Austerity Program then a swale of weve seen this for quite some time in venezuela basically you know a permanent political crisis there argentina and its financial limit. Are these just coincidence this or is this part of a larger trend in latin america right now i think we have to be cautious to find the common denominator for all the cases National Specific disease that we have to respect but one major opponent is for sure we have a contagious effect misuse of violence you have. Of a successful change in equator and a lot of people in the streets of syrian says this opportunity to make a copy in their own country can try to come to grips with the difficulties they have in the political article nation because in olivia we have the same president which is trying to reelect him says in argentina we have a possible cumber of comeback of Cristina Fernandez deserve the same people which are turning around in the hands of the power there must be a change in terms of and turn it if which is to the new liberal model so what do you think are the Lessons Learned that. Do not only look to the economic side to have a clear vision that we have to be more active in the public sphere to make that not only was established forces to have new forms of fora to discussion with the use with other excluded parts of the population and this means a new type of. Policy politics and politi as well going to my old expert at the German Institute for international and Security Affairs thank you thank you.
