I am the happiest of men to run under two hours, you know, to inspire many people, to tell people that no human is limited, you can do it. Hello and welcome. Kurds, whore under attack from turkey in Northern Syria, say they will no longer prioritise guarding detainees from the Islamic State group, if the offensive continues. Since hostilities began on wednesday, nearly 50 civilians are thought to have died on both sides of the frontier, and more than a hundred thousand people have fled their homes. Much of the latest fighting has been in ras al ain. Our correspondent orla guerin is on the turkish side of the border. Her report contains flashing images. The front line in a conflict that is spreading fast. Turning Northern Syria into a battleground. Alarming washington and europe. The smoke is rising from the key town of ras al ain. And inside the town, this pro turkish fighter says weve just arrived. And give thanks to god. Then ducks to avoid incoming fire. But Kurdish Forces cant offer much resistance. Ras al ain has all but fallen and other towns are expected to follow. The turks and their allies are stamping their authority here. And syrian Kurdish Forces are looking very much alone, urging the us allies to keep their side of the bargain after the kurds died in their thousands fighting Islamic State. Translation our allies guaranteed us protection but they abandoned us without warning and decided unjustly to withdraw their troops from the turkish border. We call on our allies to fulfil their moral obligations. Us forces arent far away but theyre holding fire as the kurds take heavy casualties. This footage, filmed exclusively for the bbc, shows american troops standing by at the edge of turkeys planned safe zone. Even leading republicans accusing President Trump of a shameful betrayal. And turkeys offensive is inflicting an agonising human cost. This motherfled ras al ain, carrying her sick daughter. She says the girl has had no food for the past four days and is barely alive. What is this . She cries. Erdogan, look at this. And in the kurdish stronghold of qamishli, mass funerals today for four dead. Two fighters and two civilians. Syrias kurds say they have given their blood to fight is for the world. But there is no help for them in their hour of need. Typhoon hagibis has brought record rainfall, flooding and high winds to parts of central and eastern japan. At least nine people have been killed and millions of others were advised to leave their homes. From tokyo, Rupert Wingfield hayes reports. This is the hii river, near mount fuji. Usually it is a Clear Mountain stream. Today, it was turned into a raging, boiling torrent. Across central japan, typhoon hagibis has dumped record amounts of rain. On the Southern Side of tokyo, the tama river is now close to bursting point. Tens of thousands of people who live along its banks have been ordered to leave their homes. The big dangerfrom these sorts of events is water. Water is the thing that can do real damage, both if this river burst its banks, if it causes landslides in the mountains or, of course, when it reaches the sea. As night fell over tokyo, the eye of the storm approached, bringing winds gusting to over 140 kilometres per hour. This is the centre of shibuya, one of the busiest places normally in tokyo on a saturday night. I dont think i have ever seen it as deserted as it is tonight. In fact, the whole of tokyo is incredibly deserted. The centre of the storm has now passed to the north of the city and it does not appear to have brought the really destructive winds that were first feared. That is good news for everybody including, of course, rugby fans. Today, japans rugby team had to wade their way onto a sodden field for some last minute practice. Saturdays big match between england and france had to be cancelled. Rupert wingfield hayes, bbc news, in tokyo. That match between scotland and japan is going to go ahead. We will be speaking to a scotland fan later in the programme. Stay with us to hear how excited she is that there is actually going ahead. The president of ecuador has placed the countrys capital, quito, under military control in an attempt to end days of violent clashes between Security Forces and indigenous protestors. Azadeh moshiri reports. A sign that the state appears to be losing control, protesters occupy the roof of a government building. The violence appears to be worsening, more than a week after it began. The police response, teargas and hoses, while protesters build barricades and set fires to tyres. The demonstrators are demanding the government scrap austerity measures. Fuel more than doubled when subsidies were removed. Since the protest began last week, hundreds of people have been arrested, and at least one protester has died. Reacting to these chaotic scenes, president lenin moreno has placed the capital under strict curfew and military control, insisting he would restore order in all of ecuador. Indigenous leaders have accepted to hold direct talks with the president , the first sign of a potential breakthrough. But for now, the country seems far from having order restored. Rescue crews are trying to reach two workers trapped in the wreckage of a building under construction in new orleans. At least one person died and 18 others were injured when part of the new Hard Rock Hotel collapsed. Shaun hassett reports. Get to the back. This is the moment when the upper floors of a building in downtown new orleans gave way. Still under construction, it was set to be a new Hard Rock Hotel, now it is a disaster site. There was lots of noise. We saw workers up there. I mean, it was crazy. Ijust cant even imagine what was going on up there. It sounded like we thought it was gunfire but it wasnt gunfire, it was a building collapsing. Construction workers ran for their lives, as the building crumbled around them. Some escaped injury by a matter of metres. This man was on the 18th floor at the time. I turn around and i see one guy lose his balance and he kind of fell on the concrete and things werejust. Smoke started coming from everywhere so i could not really see where, you know, the problem started at, but the concrete started falling. Emergency crews were on the scene quickly, rescuing people from the rubble, then clearing the area around the building. A second part of the building fell off about an hour after the initial collapse. Authorities say the remaining part of the building is structurally unstable and a further collapse as possible. They are also worried that a crane could come crashing down. Obviously, this is very serious. And especially when you see the crane lifting away from the building. We know it is no longer secured to the building, and some of the building that collapsed is actually placing a load on the crane, pushing it back away from the collapsed site. It is not clear at this stage what triggered the collapse. Shaun hassett, bbc news. Lets get some of the days other news. A us diplomats wife who left the uk, despite being a suspect in a fatal crash, has said she would like to meet the parents of the british teenager who died. Harry dunn was killed when his motorbike collided with a car being driven from a Us Military Base in august. A British Government source says the uk is still a long way from agreeing a final brexit deal with brussels and talks in the coming days remain critical. Intense technical discussions with the eu have been taking place this weekend ahead of a European Council meeting next thursday. Polands populist government is being put to the test on sunday, as voters go to the polls for a general election. The right wing law and justice party, which came to power in 2015, face a challenge from the centrist Civic Coalition alliance and left of centre lewica. The far right party, confederation, is hoping to Enter Parliament for the first time. California has become the first us state to ban the manufacture and sale of animal fur. From 2023 residents will no longer be able to sell or make clothing, shoes or handbags from fur. The move has been celebrated by Animal Rights groups who have been calling for a ban for some time. But this is not my victory. This is the victory of activists that as you have said to have been working for many years. The United States humane society, animal hope and legislation, and many, many advocates from all over the country who have fought to make this happen. Explain to me what is included in this painfuljob as i understand it doesnt apply to things like leather and cowhide, does it . It allows leather, cowhide, shearling, from sheep, goat fur, because these animals primarily being raised and slaughtered for food. The fur is a by product of that food production. We also have quite a rigorous way of legislating the conditions, in the United States, the animals are raised in and how theyre slaughtered. Thats not the case of the exotic first this bill is targeting who are slaughtered overseas, far away from regulators, often left in leg traps for days and raised in inhumane conditions. So we think its a reasonable approach and one that makes sure that if you buy a garment in california that its at least as reasonably cruelty free as we can assure you. There has been a backlash from the fur industry. They say that basically, you know, you will force a lot of businesses to close down without any kind of compensation or redress and that also this will make and create a huge black market, because the demand will still be there even if the supply isnt in the same way. Well, the city of los angeles, the largest city in california, which is a large estate in the United States, has already done this. And we havent seen this kinds of affects. Furriers can sell shearling, they can sell items made from leather, cow fur if they so choose. Im not saying there wont be any impact on anybody, but i dont believe that this is going to be a hugely devastating impact and we certainly havent seen that in los angeles or San Francisco, which also has banned fur. Are you expecting this to take off in the rest of the country, do you think . I hope so. Weve already seen fur bans in the New York Legislature and hawaii. So i do think this is a movement. We have had comments from people saying things like, wow, i thought we had on this years ago. In terms of the fur industry, they came forward and offered to try to set up a cruelty free sort of brand that would try to guarantee that they were manufactured in a cruelty free way, but they had many years to do that and they havent done it. And theres also no way of really guaranteeing compliance. So they of course opposed the bill but they didnt give us any indication that theyve worked on this issue for years, even though, as you mentioned, it is something people have talked about for decades. Stay with us on bbc news. Still to come we take a special look at how social media makes big profits out of our personal data. Parts of San Francisco least affected by the earthquake are returning to life, but in the marina area where most of the damage was done, they are more conscious than ever of how much has been destroyed. In the 19 years since he was last here, he has gone from being a little known revolutionary to an experienced and successful diplomatic operator. It was a 20 pound bomb which exploded on the fifth floor of the grand hotel, ripping a hole in the front of the building. This government will not weaken, democracy will prevail. It fills me with humility and gratitude to know that i have been chosen as the recipient of this foremost of earthly honours. This catholic nation held its breath for the men they called the 33. And then, bells tolled nationwide to announce the first rescue and chile let out an almighty roar. This is bbc world news. The latest headlines kurds under attack in Northern Syria say they will no longer prioritise guarding Islamic State detainees if turkeys offensive continues. Torrential rain and fierce winds have claimed nine lives injapan in the countrys worst storm for 60 years. How many of us really know what were agreeing to when we click to accept the terms and conditions as we access websites and apps . Often, were handing over valuable personal data for free, and, as our media editor, amol rajan, explains, its a commodity thats increasing in value. Very, very few of us give any thought to what were signing up to when we give away our personal data online. All around us are machines whose very raison detre is to know us better than we know ourselves. Alexa. Whats the weather in london today . In london its 19 celsius with clear skies and sun. Com pa nies a re co nsta ntly developing their profiles of us. Thank you. This is an example from amazon of what is collected and analysed. Content you viewed or searched for. The apps that we look at are part of an attention economy. In return for often free services, you donate attention and data. This is what you signed up for with facebook. We receive information about your online and offline actions and purchases from Third Party Data providers. That said, its the World Wide Web which specialises in turning your personal information into a commodity. With starbucks, the Website Activity is linked to your social networks to allow them to track the activities of their members. All around us, invisible but forever accumulating, is an almost unimaginable amount of data. Every time we look at our phones or make an electronic transaction, were adding to it. And while you or i may not give this much thought, the most powerful companies in Human History certainly do. For them, your data is gold dust. This lawyer, who successfully brought a case against cambridge analytica, says it is about power as much as privacy. If the product is free, where is the cost . I think to most of these companies, you, the user, are not the customer. The customer is normally an advertiser that takes your personal information. Its about you having a say and some control over how that information gets used. Surveillance capitalists take your private human experience, they turn it into behavioural data, they package it as predictions of what you will do now, soon and later, and they sell that to business customers who have a very serious commercial interest in knowing about what youre going to do in the future. In a world in which data is the most powerful commodity, the question of who owns and controls our data needs to be given much deeper thought. At the moment, a few mostly californian companies are setting the terms of the debate. Amol rajan, bbc news. Very interesting. More now on the typhoon which has affected large parts of japan. The Severe Weather has affected the rugby world cup, but in the last hour it was announced that scotlands crucial match against the hosts will go ahead. Had the game been cancelled, it would have been recorded as a draw and scotland would have been out. We now speak to scotland rugby fan, amanda gautherin whojoins me now, from yokahama. Iam imagining, i am imagining, taking a wild guess, that you are very happy this match is going ahead . We are delighted. We have been waiting on this news for a few days since knowing if the typhoon was coming. We had a couple of earthquakes as well. Everyone was really nervous. We are all heading towards the stadium very soon. You have lived through an absolutely massive typhoon, what was it like . We got warned by the authorities 2a hours that everything was going to shut down. Shopping centre, transport and we were told to stay indoors. We could go out and get essential supplies, food and water and then we stayed in throughout the store. It was weak, it got stronger, then died down again and all of a sudden the whole building shook and that was the most scary part. The earthquake, 5. 7 in the epicentre, lasted for a couple of minutes. We are trying to translate warnings from local authorities. The storm itself had a big impact, not only on potential matches in the right but also on infrastructure like trains and buses. What is happening in that sense . Are people going to be able to get to the match from elsewhere . This morning, when we were waiting on news, well looking at the trains. They started running about an hour ago. Running every 20 minutes on a slower service. The buses are running as well so hopefully all the fans will be able to get out there. I think everyone is leaving early. Blue skies but a lot of wind, very warm, about 25 degrees. It might have an impact on the game. If it had not have taken place, scotland would be out. Has there been any reaction from japan fa ns there been any reaction from japan fans about the fact the match is going ahead . Are they happy about it . We met a family a few minutes ago. They were delighted. I think the japanese people are really embracing the bulk up. Not all of them are fans from before and they are them are fans from before and they a re really them are fans from before and they are really enjoying it. For them this is massive. Obviously, they do not want the same outcome as we do but were going to a wonderful time. Enjoy the match and best of luck to scotland. Come on, scotland there have been big celebrations in kenya and elsewhere, after the Long Distance runner, eliud kipchoge, became the first person to complete a marathon in under two hours. In a feat of seemingly super human endeavour, he made it through the finish line in one hour, 59 minutes and a0 seconds. The reigning olympic champion, who also holds the official marathon record, was cheered on by huge crowds around a specially designed course in the austrian capital, vienna. Ive been speaking to olympic medallist and us marathon record holder, deena kastor. I began by asking how thrilled she was to hear the two hour marathon time barrier had been broken. Its not a record but history has certainly been made. And its the eve of the bank of america chicago marathon so theres a lot of excitement going into tomorrows race. But to wake up this morning and see that he had broken the two hour barri
