After IS collapse, Syria government faces US-backed Kurds

With the fall of the Islamic State group's last significant stronghold in Syria, Iranian and Russian-backed Syrian troops now turn to face off with their main rival, the U.S.-backed forces holding large oil fields and strategic territory in the country's north and east.

The complicated map puts U.S. and Iranian forces at close proximity, just across the Euphrates River from each other, amid multiple hotspots that could turn violent, particularly in the absence of a clear American policy.

There are already signs.

Iran threatened last week that Syrian troops will advance toward Raqqa, the former IS capital, which fell to the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces in October, raising the potential for a clash there. The Kurdish-led SDF also controls some of Syria's largest oil fields, in the oil-rich eastern Deir el-Zour province, an essential resource that the Syrian government also says it will take back.

The question now is whether the United States is willing to confront the troops of Syrian President Bashar Assad and Iranian-backed militiamen. The Kurds are seeking a clear American commitment to help them defend their gains. American officials have said little of their plans and objectives in Syria beyond general statements about continuing to deny IS safe havens and continuing to train and equip allies.

Washington seems to be hoping to negotiate a deal for Syria that would protect the Kurds' ambitions for autonomy while limiting Iran's ambitions for a presence in Syria. Four U.S. officials said Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin could announce a Russian-U.S. deal on how they hope to Syria's war after IS's defeat if they meet Friday at a conference in Vietnam. However, prospect of such a meeting uncertain, it was not clear if such a deal had been reached.

But Assad underlined that his government plans to regain all of Syria and will now fight against plans to "partition" Syria, a reference to Kurdish aspirations for a recognized autonomous zone in the north.

Government victories "have foiled all partition plans and the goals of terrorism and the countries sponsoring it," Assad said during a meeting this week with Ali Akbar Velayati, the adviser of Iran's supreme leader.

With its collapse in Boukamal on Thursday, the Islamic State group has no major territory left in Syria or Iraq. Its militants are believed to have pulled back into the desert, east and west of the Euphrates River. The group has a small presence near the capital, Damascus. Late Thursday, the extremist group carried out a counteroffensive in Boukamal, regaining control of more than 40 percent of the border town.

The Euphrates now stands as the dividing line between Syrian government troops and the SDF in much of Deir el-Zour province.

Government forces and their allies, including Iranian troops and fighters from the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, control the western bank. They hold the provincial capital and several small oil fields.

The Kurdish-led force, along with American troops advising them, is on the eastern bank. They hold two of Syria's largest oil fields, nearly a dozen smaller ones, one of the largest gas fields and large parts of the border with Iraq. They say they are determined to keep the government from crossing the river.

The coalition had said for weeks that the SDF was pushing toward Boukamal. With Assad's forces taking the town, the coalition said in a statement to the AP on Friday that the SDF is now moving on Baghuz, a village also on the border near Boukamal but on the eastern bank of the Euphrates.

Iran's Velayati said the U.S. presence aims to divide Syria. "They have not and will not succeed in Iraq and they will also not succeed in Syria," he said during a visit to Lebanon last weekend. "We will soon see the Syrian government and popular forces in Syria east of the Euphrates and they will liberate the city of Raqqa."

The U.S. coalition declined to comment on Velayati's remarks, saying "it would not be appropriate to comment on speculation or rumor by any third party."

Washington has been wary of Iran's increasing influence in the area and its attempts to establish a land corridor from Iran across Iraq and Syria to Lebanon.

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis acknowledged this week that allies have pressed for a clearer U.S. policy in Syria. The priority was to get the U.N.-sponsored peace talks back on track, he said, offering few details.

"We're trying to get this into the diplomatic mode so we can get things sorted out … and make certain (that) minorities — whoever they are — are not just subject to more of what we've seen" under Assad, he said, apparently referring to ensuring some sort of accommodation to Kurdish ambitions.

The talks, scheduled for Nov. 28, have already been challenged by Russia, which seeks a bigger role. Moscow called for intra-Syrian talks to chart a political process and invited the dominant Kurdish party that forms the backbone of the SDF, the first such international invitation. A date for the Russia talks has not been set.

Yezid Sayigh, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut, predicted the Syrian government will use military pressure to reach a negotiated solution with the Kurds amid lack of evidence that the U.S. has any "commitment to engineering political change in Syria or indeed has a Syria policy at all." In an article last week in the Al-Hayat newspaper, Sayigh said Russia is the likely arbiter between Kurds and the government.

Ilham Ahmed, a senior politician with the political arm of the SDF, said indirect talks with the government have taken place but there are no signs of a change in their position.

"A clear position from the coalition can prevent confrontation," she said.

Meanwhile, the Kurdish-led SDF faces the complications of trying to run Arab-dominated areas. With US-backing, the force sought to allay any Arab residents' fears of Kurdish domination by forming joint local councils and electing Arab and Kurdish officials.

But this week, the SDF-held town of Manbij saw protests by Arab residents against compulsory military conscription imposed by the SDF. Hundreds were briefly detained, according to Mohammed Khaled, with activist-operated Aleppo 24.

Ahmed described the protests as "fabricated" by the government and Turkey, which sees Kurdish aspirations as a threat.

Trump adviser claims he lied to FBI out of loyalty to Trump: Source

WATCH Trump adviser says he lied to FBI out of loyalty to Trump: Source

George Papadopoulos, the Trump foreign policy aide who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, initially misled agents out of what he claimed was loyalty to President Donald Trump, according to a person with direct knowledge of the investigation.

Add Russia Investigation as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Russia Investigation news, video, and analysis from ABC News. Russia Investigation Add Interest

Trump had publicly denied that there had been any contact between his campaign and Russian officials, and Papadopoulos did not want to contradict the official line, the source said.

“It’s all fake news,” Trump said of any alleged connections in January. “It’s phony stuff. It didn’t happen.”

Papadopoulos met with the FBI agents investigating those alleged ties shortly thereafter, and he later acknowledged that he lied during that meeting about the timing of certain contacts.

According to federal court filings, Papadopoulos initially claimed his contacts with a professor who had deep ties in Russia “occurred before” he became an adviser to the campaign.

“In truth and in fact,” the filings read, “the professor only took interest in defendant Papadopoulos because of his status with the Campaign.”

There are also lingering questions about the role Papadopoulos played in the campaign.

After the plea agreement was made public last month, Trump sought to distance himself from Papadopoulos, tweeting that “few people knew the young, low level volunteer named George, who has already proven to be a liar.”

But the “low level volunteer” made several trips overseas throughout 2016, purportedly on behalf of the campaign, making appearances where he was introduced as a Trump adviser.

In April, he traveled to Israel to speak at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, an appearance arranged by the former Israeli ambassador to Greece. In May, he met in Athens with the president of Greece. In September, he met with officials at the British Foreign Office in London.

During inaugural festivities, Papadopoulos met with advocates for Israeli settlements, telling them “We are looking forward to ushering in a new relationship with all of Israel.”

In an interview with ABC News, Rep. Eric Swalwell, a California Democrat who serves on the House Intelligence Committee, said he believes Papadopoulos’s campaign credentials changed only when it became clear he was a political liability.

“You’re a senior foreign policy adviser until you do something that exposes the campaign,” Swalwell said, adding that he would like to know who paid for Papadopoulos’s globetrotting.

“It is certainly of deep interest to know whether the Russians were paying for any of Papadopoulos’s travel through Europe during his time with campaign,” he said.

US airstrike kills 'several' al-Shabab militants in Somalia

The U.S. military said it killed "several militants" while conducting an airstrike in Somalia on Thursday against al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group al Shabab.

The strike targeting al-Shabab occurred at approximately 3 p.m. local time in the Bay Region, about 100 miles west of Somalia's capital, Mogadishu. U.S. forces carried out the operation in coordination with Somalia's federal government, according to a press release from the United States Africa Command.

Al Shabab, which is based in Somalia and pledged allegiance to al Qaeda in 2012, "is dedicated to providing safe haven for terrorist attacks throughout the world" and "has publicly committed to planning and conducting attacks against the U.S. and our partners in the region," the press release stated.

"U.S. forces will continue to use all authorized and appropriate measures to protect Americans and to disable terrorist threats," the press release added.

The operation comes one week after U.S. forces conducted its first airstrikes against ISIS in Somalia. However, the main target of U.S. airstrikes in Somalia is al Shabab.

U.S. forces have conducted well over a dozen airstrikes targeting al Shabab this year since U.S. President Donald Trump signed a directive in March giving the military authorization to conduct offensive counterterrorism airstrikes in Somalia against the jihadist group. Previously, the U.S. military had only been able to launch airstrikes against al-Shabab fighters in self-defense situations when African Union or Somali government troops accompanied by American advisers were under attack.

Widow of American dad killed in Somalia terror attack: 'He was my best friend' US conducts 1st airstrikes against ISIS in Somalia Trump's directive on offensive airstrikes in Somalia could fuel terrorism recruitment, experts warn

Clan warlords battling for power carved up Somalia following the collapse of a military dictatorship in the early 1990s. After years of interim authority, an internationally backed federal government was installed in 2012. In February, the East African country elected its first president in decades, whose victory offered a ray of hope for residents.

But the federal government has failed to assert central authority over the entire nation which, combined with high youth unemployment, has created an opening for piracy and for armed groups such as al Shabab, whose name means "the youth."

Al Shabab, which emerged in 2006 from the now-defunct Islamic Courts Union, launched its own insurgency against major cities in Somalia in 2009, seizing the capital and much of southern Somalia until it was pushed out by domestic and international forces around 2012.

Although the group lost control of most cities and towns, al Shabab continues to dominate in many rural areas of southern Somalia and is reportedly becoming increasingly present in the northern region. However, Somalia experts have told ABC News that the group is struggling to recruit new members.

Al Shabab has been blamed for carrying out the deadliest single attack in Somalia's history last month, though there was no official claim of responsibility. The massive truck bombing in the capital left more than 350 people dead and hundreds of others wounded. The Oct. 14 attack could be an indication of the power the extremist group still wields over the Horn of Africa nation.

Uber has lost an appeal against a landmark ruling on the employment rights of its drivers.

Two drivers, James Farrar and Yaseen Aslam, won a case against the ride-hailing app last year after arguing they were workers and entitled to the minimum wage, sick pay, paid holiday and breaks.

During its failed attempt to overturn the decision at the Employment Appeal Tribunal in London, Uber claimed the ruling could deprive drivers of the "personal flexibility they value".

The company, which is also battling Transport for London over its licence to operatein the capital, said it would appeal against Friday's judgment.

In a statement, it said: "Almost all taxi and private hire drivers have been self-employed for decades, long before our app existed.

"The main reason why drivers use Uber is because they value the freedom to choose if, when and where they drive and so we intend to appeal."

Mr Farrar, 49, said he was "really disappointed" over Uber's intention to appeal, adding it had "an army of lawyers paid for by exploiting labour".

The driver added: "We can't give up because the case law is so important now that if we give up and give this victory to Uber, then the battle will be so much harder for everybody else that comes after us – not just Uber drivers, but people right across the economy.

"Because if Uber gets away with this, then everywhere you turn in Britain, industrial Britain, you'll have people under this sort of fake self-employed conditions, carrying all the risk of the business with no worker rights."

Calling on Uber to "throw in the towel", TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said: "No company, however big or well-connected, is above the law.

"Uber must play by the rules and stop denying its drivers basic rights at work. This ruling should put gig economy employers on notice."

Last month, Uber filed an appeal against a decision by TfL to deny it a licence to operate in London.

TfL said the taxi-hailing app had demonstrated "a lack of corporate responsibility in relation to a number of issues which have potential public safety and security implications".

Uber employs 40,000 drivers in the capital and can continue to operate until that appeal process is complete.

While some drivers have criticised Uber's structure, others say the app gives them the chance to work when they like.

"Every driver I know who uses the app does not want to be a worker for Uber," driver Ben Tino told Sky News.

"We want to remain independent – it's the reason why we all signed up in the first place."

He added: "I really hope that Uber goes on to win this case otherwise it would be a disaster for the drivers who actually use the app.

"Uber has transformed the private hire industry for the better."

After repeated tests, North Korea hasn't launched a missile in 56 days. What's going on?

WATCH Trump warns North Korea 'not to underestimate us'

Though President Donald Trump is on a high-profile visit to Asia this week, North Korea has refrained from testing another ballistic missile or nuclear bomb, making this the longest stretch of time since Trump took office that the regime has not conducted a test.

Is it a sign the administration's approach to North Korea is working, even as Washington and Pyongyang continue to exchange volleys in a war of words?

North Korea tested its first missile just 22 days after Trump was inaugurated on Jan. 20. From March to May, the regime conducted tests every one to two weeks.

A look at every North Korean missile test this year Defense Secretary James Mattis visits Korean DMZ amid nuclear tension

It has been 56 days since North Korea's last test of a ballistic missile, an intermediate-range KN-17 that flew over the Japanese island of Hokkaido.

As Trump has made his way through South Korea, Japan and China this week — touting the strength of U.S. alliances and commanding North Korea to "not try us" — the regime has remained quiet.

In his address to the South Korean National Assembly this week, Trump directly addressed North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, telling him his weapons are putting his country in "grave danger."

"North Korea is not the paradise your grandfather envisioned. It is a hell that no person deserves," Trump said.

Shortly after that speech, North Korean officials told CNN, "We don't care about what that mad dog may utter," referring to Trump.

It's a continuation of the war of words, even as the regime's missile test have noticeably paused — a surprising development, given that North Korea has often followed verbal sparring with threats and missile tests.

On Aug. 8, Trump threatened the regime with "fire and fury like the world has never seen," leading Kim to say he would consider sending missiles into the waters off the coast of Guam in "mid-August."

Several weeks later, North Korea fired three short-range ballistic missiles not toward Guam but into the Sea of Japan.

In other instances, tests have followed high-profile visits from U.S. officials.

In March the regime tested mobile-launched missiles a week after Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's trip to Asia. In April the North tested a KN-17 missile as Vice President Mike Pence was en route to South Korea.

But there was no test when Secretary of Defense James Mattis traveled through Asia at end of October and none during Trump's current trip — so far.

Jenny Town, the managing editor of 38 North, a website devoted to analysis of North Korea, said of the country's leaders, "They likely understand that — unlike visits of high-level officials — to do an ICBM while the president is in the region is a bigger gamble."

She told ABC News that if Pyongyang conducts a test during or after Trump's trip, it will likely be with a Hwasong-14, which the U.S. refers to as the KN-20 — a two-stage intercontinental ballistic missile.

A test would be the 15th ballistic missile test since Trump took office and the first since September.

Korean Central News Agency/Korea News Service via AP

The Trump administration has said all military options remain on the table when dealing with the North Korean threat, but top U.S. officials have consistently emphasized the U.S. is pursuing a diplomatically led effort, including additional economic pressure.

Trump has at times expressed impatience with that effort, but this week, he seemed to back away from his "fire and fury" stance, instead expressing hope for diplomacy.

"I really believe that it makes sense for North Korea to come to the table and to make a deal," Trump said in a press conference with South Korean President Moon Jae-in.

"Ultimately, it'll all work out," Trump added.

In the White House briefing room last week, Trump's national security adviser H.R. McMaster told reporters the administration will wait "a few months" before reassessing its strategy.

"I think we have to be a little patient here for at least a few months to see what more we and others can do, including China," McMaster said. "I don't think we need to reassess our strategy now. I think we have to give it a couple of months, a few months, and then see what adjustments we might need to make."

But the administration shouldn't be too quick to praise North Korea's restraint.

Three days after Tillerson said he was "pleased to see that the regime in Pyongyang has certainly demonstrated some level of restraint that we've not seen in the past," North Korea fired three short-range ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan.

Man held for 'mafia' attack on Italian Rai TV crew

Italian police have arrested the brother of a jailed mobster in a Rome suburb for a bloody assault on a TV journalist that shocked the nation.

Roberto Spada headbutted the Rai TV journalist, breaking his nose, then chased the film crew away, lashing out with a baton. The cameraman continued filming during the attack in Ostia.

Mr Spada is accused of grievous bodily harm "with mafia methods".

His brother Carmine is serving 10 years in jail for extortion and mafia links.

The injured journalist, Daniele Piervincenzi, was suddenly headbutted on Wednesday while asking Mr Spada whether his family had supported CasaPound, a far-right group.

Mr Spada was being interviewed on the doorstep of his local gym when he suddenly lashed out. "You've broken my nose," Piervincenzi groaned as the attack continued.

Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi tweeted the video of the attack, with the message: "The Spada clan's violence is unacceptable. Solidarity to the journalist and film-maker of @NemoRai2 attacked in Ostia. We will stop crime and extremism in Rome."

She plans to hold a rally on Saturday against violence in Ostia, a seaside town 22.5km (14 miles) from Rome. CasaPound won 9% of the vote in a local election there last Sunday,

Two years ago the Ostia town council was disbanded because it had been infiltrated by the mafia.

A second round of voting is scheduled in Ostia for 19 November. The journalists from Rai – Italy's national, state-owned broadcaster – were investigating a sharp rise in support for neo-fascist CasaPound and their possible links to the Spada Mafia clan.

CasaPound's vice-president Simone Di Stefano called the attack "deplorable" and stressed that Roberto Spada was not a party member.

He called for the prosecutor's office "to clarify for us, for you and for everyone, whether there is any truth in the accusation of collusion between us and a mafia clan".

CasaPound has little support nationally. There is much hardship in Ostia, and CasaPound hands out food to poor Italians there, Reuters news agency reports.

In a Facebook post, later deleted, Mr Spada apologised but said the journalists had frightened his son.

Italy's Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni expressed solidarity with Piervincenzi "over the brutal aggression suffered in Ostia".

In ancient Rome the port of Ostia was a major trade hub, importing vast quantities of goods to sustain the empire.

On a song from her new album, "Reputation," the 27-year-old Grammy Award winner appears to be taking shots at the rapper on a song titled, "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things."

In the song, co-written by Jack Antonoff, Swift seems to refer to how the two reconciled after West famously interrupted her acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards back in 2009.

"But then you stabbed my back while shaking my hand," Swift sings on the song.

Fans believe the singer is referencing how West in a song last year, aptly titled "Famous," claimed that he made Swift famous.

ABC News reached out to a rep for Swift, but didn't immediately hear back.

The 2016 song became a point of contention for the one-time friends with West claiming he wasn't dissing the singer and that, in fact, she approved the song before it was released. Swift's rep denied that the rapper asked for approval, leading West's wife, Kim Kardashian West, to release video footage of the two musicians discussing the song before it was released.

Here are all of Swift's lyrics seemingly addressing the feud on "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things":

"It was so nice being friends again/
There I was giving you a second chance/
But then you stabbed my back while shaking my hand/
And therein lies the issue/
Friends don't try to trick you/
Get you on the phone and mind-twist you."

The song is featured on Swift's sixth studio album, out today.

France's Macron makes surprise Saudi visit amid Lebanon crisis

French President Emmanuel Macron has paid an unscheduled visit to Saudi Arabia amid an escalating crisis between the kingdom and Lebanon.

His trip comes days after Lebanese PM Saad Hariri resigned while in Riyadh, saying he feared for his life.

Foes Saudi Arabia and Iran have accused each other of fuelling instability in Lebanon and the wider region.

Mr Macron and Saudi officials also discussed the crisis in Yemen, where Riyadh is leading a war against rebels.

France has historical ties with Lebanon, as its former colonial power before it gained independence during World War Two.

• Lebanon caught in crosshairs of Saudi-Iran tension
• Riyadh's night of long knives and long-range missiles
• Profile: Lebanon's Hezbollah

The French president was in the United Arab Emirates on Thursday to open the Louvre Abu Dhabi, a spin-off of the famous Paris art museum.

Ahead of his two-hour visit to Riyadh, Mr Macron said all Lebanese officials should live freely, "which means having a very demanding stance on those who could threaten any leader".

No details of the alleged plot against Mr Hariri have been made public.

Uncertainty surrounds Mr Hariri's circumstances, amid rumours he was being held in Riyadh.

Mr Macron said on Thursday he had had informal contact with Mr Hariri, without giving details, while France's foreign minister said France believed Mr Hariri was able to move freely.

Mr Hariri said in a TV broadcast on Saturday that he was stepping down because of the unspecified threat to his life.

In the video statement, Mr Hariri also attacked Hezbollah, which is politically and militarily powerful in Lebanon, and Iran.

There are fears Lebanon could become embroiled in a wider regional confrontation between major Sunni power Saudi Arabia and Shia-dominated Iran.

Mr Macron is a keen supporter of the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal, which both the Saudis and the Trump administration have heavily criticised.

Before going to Saudi Arabia, Mr Macron said that he had heard "very harsh opinions" on Iran from Saudi Arabia, which did not match his own view. "It is important to speak with everyone," he added.

But an official communiqué from his office following the visit did not say Iran was among the matters discussed, French newspaper Le Monde reported.

Tensions between Saudi Arabia, Iran and Lebanon have soared since Mr Hariri announced his resignation.

On Thursday, Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies told their citizens in Lebanon to leave the country immediately. It came after Riyadh accused Iran of "direct military aggression", saying it supplied a missile which it says was fired by Hezbollah at Riyadh from Yemen on Saturday.

Iran has dismissed the Saudi allegations as "false and dangerous".

Broadband and landline providers have agreed a new system of automatic compensation when customers suffer poor service, the telecoms regulator has announced.

Ofcom said that issues such as slow repairs and missed appointments would result in money back from the company responsible, without it having to be claimed.

It calculated the change would bolster levels of redress to customers – including many small businesses – by 900% because compensation was currently only paid in about one in seven cases.

The watchdog's plan contains set compensation levels for certain failures. They include £25 for an engineer missing an appointment or failing to give 24 hours' notice of a cancellation, and £5 for each day missed through delays to a new contract.

But Ofcom cautioned that it would be at least 15 months before the new rules could take effect as they meant that providers including BT, Sky – the owner of Sky News, Talk Talk and Virgin Media had to make "significant changes" to their billing systems.

The regulator's consumer group director, Lindsey Fussell, said: "Waiting too long for your landline or broadband to be fixed is frustrating enough, without having to fight for compensation.

"So providers will have to pay money back automatically, whenever repairs or installations don't happen on time, or an engineer doesn't turn up.

"People will get the money they deserve, while providers will want to work harder to improve their service."
