People are supposed to religion. People do what they can get you to the next day. Like under the Islamic State group in syria as part of our series circle of fear we meet a former extremist whos returned home to chechnya. Also ahead the World Economic forum in switzerland our Senior Business editor ben kozel is there. The global elite is gathered here in davos for a third day in advance of the u. S. President s arrival american c. E. O. s praising his tax plan. And these cute maybe monkeys dont just look like theyre close to us thats the first time scientists have been able to clone primates and cloning human speech. Hello im terry martin good to have you with us. Turkey is vowing to continue its military operation targeting u. S. Backed Kurdish Militias in Northern Syria thats despite a warning from u. S. President donald trump to limit the advance or risk confronting American Forces on the ground in a phone call with the turkish President Trump said the incursion in the african region quote risks undercutting shared goals but president retch of time is pushing back sources in turkey are now saying the white house hasnt actually some accurately summarized that phone call and that trump did not share concerns about the escalating violence in a free in Kurdish Militia there have played a key role in helping u. S. Backed forces against the socalled Islamic State the turkish government calls the y. P. G terrorists. The shouted turn of yielded this evidence of the force that turkey has brought to be enough turkeys government is determined to press on with all of branch which to them has been a success so far in. The operation will continue until the threat is removed. But the kurdish y p g wants the world to know that they would surrender the enclave without a fight. We will resist and will not allow the enemy to invade our land to the last drop of blood we have we will never retreat from here. Those appear to be no idle words missiles fired from y p g controlled territory crashed into this mosque in the Turkish Border tone of killis causing fatalities and panic as worshippers tried to free the wounded from the rubble. The death toll rises on both sides but turkish president richard says he will expand the offensive eastwards. U. S. Troops stationed in Northern Syria might soon find themselves caught between kurds and turks each ally determined to banish the other from the region at all costs. Our correspondent covering this story for us from istanbul story in the white house is president warned his turkish counterpart about the danger of clashing with American Forces in syria whats the risk of that actually happening. I think the possibilities now much higher after this conversation between the two leaders there was hope and. Possibly a resolution of this of this situation could be achieved in but the fact that neither side can even agree on what was said in the talks in particular the white house version saying that the president called for an escalation on current dismiss that saying that was never said and even dismissed the concerns according to what trump said of of the of a possible clash between turkish and u. S. Forces in mom bitch play that too so the fact now that neither side can agree in fact it does fit into this narrative of anger that they say the President Trump is a prisoner of his senior officials military exmilitary officials this will add to the growing distrust between the two sides that they can even agree on what was said in the meeting that does bring the possibility now that will expand its operations it has present heard wanted war yesterday that they would move on to monday which that brings the nightmare scenario from nato to perspective for the two part that the u. S. And Turkish Forces could be facing off so this situation could be expanding as you just said whats the situation for civilians caught up in the offensive. Well that is a growing concern in this offensive in for and theres been reports the United Nations as many as five thousand people have been displaced by the fighting many are believed to be from villages hes numerous villages in this very mountainous rugged terrain unclear where these people have gone there have been pictures on social media difficult to verify but the pictures of the people in caves cowering in the very bad weather conditions that are going on at the moment the plight of these these refugees in these displaced people will grow as the fighting continues. For turkey launched its offensive into syria it seems that things within syria had stabilized somewhat how does this offensive fit into the overall conflict. Well that is the big fear that this is now in the seventh year of the Syrian Civil War that we in hopes that the end was approaching the big powers and all those involved increasingly getting together this now a new front by turkey frightens to destabilize the whole region creating a whole new swathe of problems even the possible risk that if turkey does carry out its threat of expanding its operation all along turkeys southern border theres a calm risk of confrontations with the damascus regime possibly arabia militia Going Forward and of course with u. S. Forces as well another massive destabilizing element in that situation its already very stable unstable and weve plenty of violence and death dorian thank you very much dorian jones there in istanbul.

Youre watching t. W. News still to come we talk to a former Islamic State militant whos returned to his home in chechnya thats thats is part of our series a circle of fear looking at jihadism in russia. While the room was packed areas were pricked our eyes wide open as europe took center stage in the swiss alps with speeches from the continents heavyweights germanys uncle americal spoke before him but it was frances and manuel mcallen who had the headline slot he told the World Economic forum that globalization had to ensure prosperity for all classes in society its in money when mcmullen first Economic Forum since becoming french president last may one of his burning issues is globalization and fittingly he addressed his audience in english. Ladies and gentlemen my my my first miss each is that france is back france is back of the call of europe. Because we will never have any french success without a european success mcconnell spoke of a Ten Year Strategy to make europe more economically politically and socially powerful but he said the most vulnerable members of society must not be sacrificed at the altar of progress letters and have been native to declaw that is asian in general is going through a major crisis and this Global Challenge requires for sure collectively fought from International Organizations States Companies civil society. In order to find and implement so these. Americans appearance marked a return to the world stage after months of political limbo at home the german chancellor said she welcomed mcconnells election as a positive turning point for europe and she echoed his sentiments saying the worlds problems will not be solved by isolation and protectionism obviously in the us is not so now we know that there are international egotism we see nationalism on the rise in many states theres a polarizing atmosphere perhaps in many places people worry whether multilateralism can really solve peoples problems. Ellice fear you will be among them isnt to lose them both leaders called for a strong the Europe Mccann urging great ambition machall appealing for more cooperation on security and Foreign Policy makers warning against Rising Economic nationalism came a day before the arrival in divorce of donald trump the u. S. President s imminent appearance was not lost on mcconnell for sure was diverse when you look outside especially coming. And arriving in this in this building in this building its i mean it could be hard to believe in Global Warming. Obviously fortan three you didnt invite. Anybody skeptical with Global Warming this year. I wonder who his referring to monica let us think back at me what i know that today the u. S. President is expected to arrive in davos donald trump of course but first the focus is on britain because Prime Minister to resign may is expected to speak at the World Economic forum this afternoon and it will be interesting to hear whether she will be as outspoken about brecks it as is her predecessor David Cameron who was overheard commenting on breaks it in davos and did only spend her soul and tells us more about that. Cameron stepped down as Prime Minister in twenty sixteen after that disastrous british vote to leave the European Union i was quite surprised to learn that he even show his face again here in davos and hes been caught of the sidelines saying to a billionaire businessman that it was a mistake the referendum but that it wasnt a disaster what certainly was a disaster was the speech given by his success here a year ago threes im a will be giving a speech again breaks it today and bankers will be listening very careful for details on that you case departure and im sure so will many of the young brits and some of them are sure to be in doubles too because in recent years more and more young people have joined the global elite protests opponents of the World Economic forum people under the age of thirty the socalled Global Shapers are invited to take part in discussions on a large variety of topics. A brief moment to enjoy the view and then off she goes to the next appointment twenty four year old italian clara latina isnt dabbles to take part in discussions as isnt transcom a twenty six year old tech entrepreneur from germany thirty year old greek. Is currently debating the rejuvenation of europe. I expect from you. A shared responsibility. To allow the youth assists and think its future to hear the voice of fuel and to go through their election. For a better tomorrow for all of us more a night it more together and more creative. All three passionate europeans. We have common values. Me theme that we are you know unique. Parts of having different languages or really. We harbor a place where. Human rights are respected. But there could be a big a shared sense of europe. I believe we could have a stronger sense of belonging in europe like what you have in the us when i lived many people had a much stronger connection to their country and thats not something we have in europe even less so in germany i believe the sense of feeling european isnt really there. And the future of europe. May be different cultures should be taken more into account because greek has a specific certains history culture its a different from the italians from. A swedish people so. Her children the differences should be taken into account in Decision Making process and should be respected in the debate on europe goes on and these young people here to contribute to it. Later today u. S. President on a trump will join the meeting in davos but even before his arrival hes already been the talk of the town were turning out to always been for suiting who spoke just a short while ago with the c. E. O. Of a Software Company a technology to get his assessment on tax policy the new tax reforms have been very good for almost all businesses very good for ca we are thirty five percent tax payer at twenty one percent you can see that thats a big difference we will take that savings we get a tax reinvested into the company into r. And d. And expansion so were very happy with the tax plan does it be more jobs thats what trump wants i think were going to see more jobs and were going to see a bigger emphasis on Digital Transformation from all companies and i think youre going to see when theyre deciding what to do with the savings they get from the tax plan theyre going to be investing in infrastructure and infrastructure to be investing in Technology One of the things im very excited about is some of the work were doing here at the west to help in rescaling on a global basis ok i was there and of course we will have more live coverage from the World Economic forum for you throughout the day also coming up you know this gentleman here behind me and my your druggy the head of the European Central bank which is needing to day talking Monetary Policy and we will go and catch up with our frankfurt correspondent in order to get the latest from him so thats coming up in business.

Well circle of fear thats the title of our series on islamic radicalism in russia in todays episode our correspondent your chateau meets a former jihad is to return to russia after serving as a guard for the socalled Islamic State in syria in the exclusive interview the chechen will talk us through his motivations life as a militant and his escape. Did you ever use a weapon to shoot or kill people but. No i didnt kill anyone not that i could seen in me and. Id like to know why why did you go there are you. Sure. In my case it was a feeling of injustice against the sunni who were killed by the shiites i mean. It was time to pursue anything. Didnt you watch any news use didnt you know that you were going to join terrorists. I knew that what i was doing was illegal but i didnt give it a Second Thought you know. You didnt think about the fact you were going to be killing people. And i knew i would get a weapon after all this is war but my view of everything changed the day i arrived in syria you. Knew the questions are so. How did you leave what did you day look like yeah i was a guard i kept watching over occupied areas in aleppo. It isnt from chechnya how were you treated by the i. R. S. We were treated well national chechens they know have. The kind of character theyve been raised with for hundreds of years. Please explain to me. And the religion islam which weve held for centuries and weve also fought in many wars for the i. R. S. Appreciates about chechens. Actually i wanted to go back as soon as i arrived thats when i witnessed an execution of refugees who. It took place right after i got a settlement which was a Gathering Place for new arrivals to syria. To see if the bus came to a stop and the men were taken and interrogated. They were asked about the religion even. If they were executed the next day. They were beheaded. It was a shock for me that people could use their religion as a justification to kill others. I waited for the right moment to escape unfortunately it only worked when i was wouldnt it i used my medical treatment as a pretense to get to and from there i went home because. I had many chances as a refugee and entered germany or france and escaped justice. But i thought if i had the courage to fight in a war. That i had to find the courage to return home. And face legal punishment. To. Use if. You came back to take the receipt from. You. When i returned the police werent aware that id been in syria the whole tell you nobody knew that i could simply go back home and live my life but i told myself then which had a mitigating effect. In the end i was given an eight month prison sentence. Why do they still go. Its not just a problem among many from germany go to join the idea too. Of those highly educated people as well lots of russians news the board not just those with russian citizenship with them but russians all the same even it could in. Say the state now many including the leadership in russia are saying that the as has been destroyed and to be shoot now focus on serious political future do you believe that the ins is finished my own in my opinion no yes is not defeated it will carry on along the shore will move. And youll find more of your his circle of fear series online it call now the chinese researchers have cloned a monkey creating two genetically identical copies of another monkey they used the cloning method the produced dolly the sheep two decades ago but its the first time that method has worked with a monkey its a breakthrough that potentially bring scientists closer to being able to clone humans i mean. They might just look like two cute baby mechanics but they represent a breakthrough that is excited scientists around the world the monkeys are clones the very First Successful clones of a nonhuman primate researchers at the Chinese Academy of sciences presented them to the public this week. And the use. Is really for the Human Health Care in a few minutes there are many other animal models who told you this was widely used by the. Difficulty. In using the model for the human disease because mice far away form. The process took over a year one hundred twenty seven eggs almost eighty viable embryos and a bevy of host mothers to produce the two babies its hoped the monkeys could be used for studying diseases like parkinsons and alzheimers researchers say clones like these could help them glean results that would be more pertinent to humans but the breakthrough also begs another question can we clone humans and should we. The burial of primate species is well over. In principle any private human can be called but all purpose. Use is purely for human benefit for medical purposes we see no reason why humans but despite the assurances it seems the debate around possible human cloning is once again on the agenda.
