And stan grant live from doha with the news hour as youve just heard turkeys president tire heard one insists the military operation in syria will continue until his countrys objectives have been achieved he was just making to his government he reiterated that he is not against the Syrian People but against what he calls violent forces in the region now his comments come as u. S. Vice president mike pence along with the delegation is making his way to ankara hell be seeking an immediate cease fire as International Condemnation against the offensive grows for sin and cos he is live for us in istanbul were going to speak to her shortly in just about what what president one had to say were going to go 1st to Charles Stratford in chelan on the turkish side of the border and charles we were just hearing there from president earlier one about his objectives and saying he will not finish until he is achieved those objectives give us a sense of how thats being achieved on the ground toward extend into turkey meeting those objectives. Well certainly where were standing here branch of the town of russell ion across the border those objectives in terms of clearing out kurdish fighters that he describes as terrorist from that area seems to be proving a big challenge this being some very heavy fighting. In that town today a lot of heavy weapons we can hear being used we hear in jets overhead a lot of artillery a lot of artillery fire as well now this town has been contested since day one and repeatedly victory has been declared by both sides so obviously a huge challenge here that would suggest we understand certainly according to the military that theyve made it theyre claiming to have made gains pushing South Southwest from the town of tel aviv out which the force used to control over a few days ago we also on the stand again according to the military that they say that theyve made small gains close to here but southwest but this town Russell Laine certainly as a say a lot of heavy fighting and interestedly a lot of heavy fighting very close to the border as well its not like its you know a mile to 2 miles 3 kilometers or so behind its literally right on the border so it seems as if as you have foresees very much well dug in there putting up stiff resistance and charles of course there is a lot of diplomacy around this a lot of pressure mounting on tookie as well we know the Vice President mike pence is heading to the region for discussions around a potential cease fire but just listening to what president one had to say and the digging in and define just talk us through some of this pressure thats building around turkey and some of the diplomacy. Oh yeah there has been a Huge International outcry against and this operation. Obviously the u. S. Rushing sanctions slapping sanctions on ministers and ministries as you say Vice President mike pence on his way heading a delegation with the secretary of state he will be included in that delegation by pompei we know according to the russians and least theyre trying to talk theyre talking to all sides at the moment that the syrians and the. And the u. S. Doing all they can to try and avoid any kind of confrontation between at least the the syrian army and the turkish army as we heard president or the one say that he said that this is not a fight against syria he respects the territorial integrity and sovereignty of syria but he wants what he describes as these terrorist forces the kurds that work for so long with Coalition Forces in the battle against the law so he wants them out and youve got to ask the question what does moscow what does president assad what are the plans that they have for the when the dust settles theres no sign yet that the kurds are in any way retreating that saying we are putting up as much of a fight as they can they see this is being their historical land and a place of their origins so it begs to question if indeed turkey does get what it wants and the s. D. F. Are forced to retreat and accept that then what happens to the kurds then lots of Unanswered Questions militarily diplomatically politically and even with respect to the history of the people that have lived in this region for centuries many questions details thank you so much for that now at that meeting with members of these ruling party just as you saw a short time ago president richard typos are one reiterated that he made the right decision he says regarding the military offensive into Northern Syria. But it will no doubt it into a key we havent come to this point suddenly starting this operation after a struggle against the. This is being a 40 year history and also within syria has an 8 year history in the last 40 years tens of thousands of people have lost their lives and its cost us hundreds of millions to our country country under any circumstances always delivers its responsibilities as allies but despite this our allies are saying one thing to our face and doing another thing behind our back and this is undeniably clear now despite all this turkeys attitude is always with peace and happiness lets go now to sin and cos youre going to live in istanbul as we just heard this in him that really strong law and from president he says that night oh allies are saying one thing to his face and then doing something behind his back this was a speech very much addressed to turkish people wasnt it rallying them behind this incursion and and reminding defied. Well yes his speech was mostly targeting the domestic old dusun his his party base actually but we had some International Messages to do related parties 1st i have to emphasize that his message about these sanctions against the turkish officials u. S. Has been threatening turkey that if turkey doesnt stop this operation turkey would be sanctioned and white house announced 2 days ago that to turkish current government officials and former government officials and parties who contributed on turkeys so called the so this stumble ization in syria would essentially thats why he said so what happens he challenged the u. S. He said what happens if i dont go to those countries or my cabinet or my family dont go to these countries whats going to happen this is politics you dont act with emotions thats what he said he he tried to give a macit to the the mastic audience that hes not afraid of and a sanctions and its will not affect his country but on the other hand why i could say the Different Things because turkish especially the Turkish National currency the euro has been very fragile against the dollar for dollar last one a one year and it has shown this fragility the sensitivity during these. Spats between washington and ancora going also accused around leak mainly accuse some form of for not showing the necessary support to the syrians and also for not financially contributing to this case mainly accuse everyone and he believes the western societies the e. U. And the United States into also the erotic have been biased and in a way he put out in their approach to turkey this is a legitimate fight for turkey turkey is turkey is conducting this military operation against the group that turkey calls a terrorist Organization Also the u. S. And the e. U. Calls the p. K. Cares a terrorist organization. One thing is important for the last 3 days we have been discussing the military situation on the ground about the lobby out there and how the regime is underground whether the regime is going to take over this possible safe zone so many things but he said that troop is the choice i meant to establish the safe zone on this 420 kilometers borders the border in turkey south beginning from the mid to the iraqi border so he said that this is that were not going to give up on this on this target to have the safe zone and he again repeated that u. S. President donald trump mentioned 20 miles which is 30 kilometers as a thats safe zone so it seems out on doesnt want to give up the spy its u. S. President donald trump has been calling for possible sanctions against turkey. Yes that misused was very much one of defiance and as you say for his party by his domestic audience but the result International Pressure and hes going to be sitting down with the worst president the u. S. Vice president by pence in u. S. Is calling for a cease fire what is going to be his message in that meeting and the message to the International Community where the person is coming from. Well this he had the important lines about that as well he said that we dont need you know turkey tried to make a Peace Process with the output could be some workers parts of p. K. K. Back in early 2010 and when the turkish intelligence conduct the talks with the slogan is a ship in old slow the p. K. K. Leaked the voice recordings of those messages it was a 4 to 7 minute long voice recording of the turkish officials negotiating with the p. K. K. And that was a time when this Peace Process was. Both kurdistan workers far apart and finally at the end of 2015 beginning of 2006 in the Peace Process still to fail then turkey conducted counter picket kilt racialism turkeys south this than region so he said that im talking from the experience no one is going to bring us bring us around the table with a terrorist organization he said no one should but it should be made thing so whoever is trying to make a call for this you cant do that where close to this and then he said that if youre not going to listen to us you dont have to come so so he was kind of you know if youre coming to ankara and talk to us you have to understand us so he was very clear about that as well said and thank you so much for those who are staying with turkey with the u. S. Justice department now has filed criminal charges against a major state owned turkish Bank Prosecutors accuse hope bank of being at the center of the scheme which helped iran avoid sanctions they say gold was bored with iranian oil and gas profits which was then sold for cash in dubai this then i believe iran to buy goods and services because companies didnt know who the cash originally came from terra nearly 1000000000. 00 was reportedly low and good in that scheme. Well for more on this now well bring in his ear is economics editor a lot of you to join us just before we get into the detail of what these charges are the time is really interesting isnt it because while this is about iran and breaking sanctions against iran the timing given whats happening in syria does that create a connection is part of that ongoing pressure against turkey that were seeing right now yes so u. S. Officials are quite concerned that you know people think that this has just been trumped up right now and as for this particular case but this case goes back 220162016. Who was a gold trader hes a free rein in turkish origin he was arrested at miami airport on the way to disneyland with his family now at the time they they they arrested him for because they were they thought he was the center of this conspiracy to basically avoid sanctions. But. He employed our he hired a Rudy Giuliani to basically see if we could get him off the charges and giuliani basically went away to see whether he could exchange a pastor which was held in the in turkey at the time in exchange for but that didnt come to fruition and then sour basically pled guilty and he helped us to basically convict another person who was an executive at how can bank and he was sentenced for 32 months and he was just released earlier this year and this of course is despite conversations that have been going on between president and one of president trouble president and one has been urging the u. S. And urging trump not to pursue this absolutely so so the fact is that you know these sanctions and the impact of of this on the turkish coming will probably be very minimal right now because turkeys been through a lot of storms and money created by by the u. S. President last time he put in sanctions on the. Country but before that we had the crisis with russia when they shot down a russian jet and so there has been a huge impact on each case and but this time they seem to be a little bit more resilience in the markets for this kind of event with same today that you know the shares but share price of. Bank has come down 7 percent and has recovered slightly and were seeing a shortage of our firm. In the International Markets so this is a concerted effort by the to basically limit the damage from this particular event thats the damage economically but this is being described as one of the worst violations of iran sanctions and as this investigation between us and now these charges have been laid is there the prospect of of turkish officials high ranking to officials being implicated further in that very much could be the case because as arab in his testimony he said you know officials high ranking officials based in iran and turkey were involved in this particular in this particular scheme now we have to remember that the United States have brought cases against 15 other european banks over the last few years and they have paid cumulative fines of 20000000000. 00 the last 2 cases were Standard Chartered in april and you need both of those companies paid between 1000000000 to 1300000000 so the cost of what health bank will have to pay we just dont know at this present moment but seeing that you know were talking about billions of dollars in a lot of money that could be the sum total of their find of it good to have you on the Program Thanks for walking us through that well last minute break that negotiations are resumed in luxembourg after leaders from the u. K. And the European Union worked through the night now theyre attempting to reach an agreement that can be discussed at a summit in brussels on thursday the e. U. s britain we go to the show banias says obstacles remain between the 2 sides but he says theres still potential for a deal brittany to leave the European Union on october 31st paul brennan joins us live now from london where british politicians amazing in Parliament Give us the view from there about how this seeing these negotiations in the e. U. It really depends stan on who you talk to and when i mean i spoke to a former conservative minister earlier on this morning who believed that they were edging towards a deal the u. K. And the European Union and the irish agriculture minister as well this morning sort of optimistic turns in relation to a deal but other people playing down with the idea that theyre going to get a deal in time to be presented to the european summit which is due to take place thursday friday thats essentially tomorrow starting because of the tight timetable of all of this and so the prospects really are up in the air its a very fluid situation and joining me to discuss just how difficult it is to to reach a deal is alan wager hes a researcher from the academic think tank you can a changing europe alan 1st of all explain to me the timetable explain to our viewers the timetable why its so tight so the deadline was last night and now its probably tonight and thats because a deal needs to be reached by that European Council summit on thursday for it then to be agreed at that count summit the heads of terms of that agreement and then bought back see parliament for agreement by saturday to avoid an extension of article 50 to avoid britain staying in the European Union beyond that of taber the 31st deadline s
