A former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Turkey would not have invaded northeast Syria had U.S. troops remained at their posts. The American retreat "opened the door" for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, according to retired Navy Adm. Mike Mullen. "Erdogan would not send those troops across that border if the Americans were there," Mullen told Fox News' Jennifer Griffin Monday night at the University of Chicago Institute of Politics. "And in that regard, it opens the door. When we were gone, it opened the door." Only a handful of U.S. service members remain in Syria after President Trump earlier this month ordered the bulk of 1,000 troops to withdraw from the northeastern part of the country and relocate them to Iraq. The move essentially paved the way for Ankara to launch a military offensive on Oct. 9 to push the Kurds out of the region, claiming it wanted to "neutralize terror threats" and establish a "safe zone." AMERICAN TROOPS LEAVING SYRIAN CITY CONTROLLED BY KURDS PELTED WITH POTATOES, TOMATOES The U.S. and Turkey brokered a 120-hour cease-fire agreement on Thursday that has since expired. Experts and analysts say Ankara's goal is to put an end to any potential autonomous Kurdish state along its border in Syria, as Turkey views the Kurds as terrorists. “Today is the last day for all the terrorists to vacate in the area," Erdogan said Tuesday before leaving for Russia to meet with President Vladimir Putin in the Black Sea resort city of Sochi. "As of 10 p.m. tonight, the time will expire. Our related agencies are monitoring the situation in the field closely. If the promises America gave us are not kept, our operation will continue." Turkey and Russia later announced Tuesday that the nations will conduct joint patrols along the border region following the removal of Kurdish forces there. Russian military police and Syrian troops will push Kurdish forces back 18 miles from Syria's northern border within 150 hours starting Wednesday at noon local time, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said. Putin and Erdogan met for more than six hours before speaking to reporters to announce the joint patrols. The fact that a NATO ally preferred to patrol the border with Russian forces and not American forces made Pentagon officials scratch their heads. And according to Mullen, that's exactly what the U.S. didn't want to happen. "Everybody we would want to lose in this is going to win. Putin's going to win in Russia. [Syrian President Bashar] Assad's going to win in Syria. ISIS is going to win. Erdogan's going to win. Iran is going to win. And we and our friends are going to lose,“ he said. Mullen served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2007 to 2011 and has more than four decades' experience in the military. The former chairman contradicted Defense Secretary Mark Esper and the current chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Mark Milley, who both say that a few dozen U.S. troops would not have stopped a Turkish invasion of 15,000, including so-called mercenaries accused of carrying out war crimes against the Kurds. Complicating matters, Iraq's military says the hundreds of U.S. troops that arrived yesterday from Syria are not welcome. IRAQ'S MILITARY SAYS US TROOPS LEAVING SYRIA DON'T HAVE PERMISSION TO STAY IN COUNTRY Mullen's statements also directly conflicted with what Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo when asked if he thought Turkey would have invaded Syria even with U.S. troops there. "One-hundred percent," he said. "I was very closely involved when President Erdogan notified us that he was prepared to move and that he was going to do so in hours. President Trump saw there were American soldiers in the way... To think we were going to have NATO-on-NATO fighting -- the president made the right decision at the moment to get American forces out of the way." Between 200 and 300 U.S. troops remain in southern Syria at Al-Tanf.

Two survivors of the tragedy face an uncertain future in the jungle now Last week, Thailand suffered one of its biggest ever single elephant tragedies, when 11 animals in one family died in a swollen river. At first only six elephants were thought to have died - days later another five were spotted downstream. The initial theory from park rangers in Khao Yai National Park was that they died in a rescue mission. As they crossed the treacherous 150m-tall Haew Narok - or Hell's Falls - a baby slipped and the others fell trying to save it. Though the loss of 11 elephants isn't catastrophic to the species, there is something about them that draws us in, and this apparent self-sacrifice struck a chord around the world - millions of you read our story alone. But emotions aside, how plausible is it that elephants would have both the empathy and skill to risk their lives for a baby? And perhaps more importantly now, what does this mean for the survivors? The elephants had fallen at least 80m down 'Hell's Falls' Dr Joshua Plotnik, assistant professor of psychology at Hunter College City University of New York, has been studying elephants in Thailand for more than a decade. He told the BBC that with no witnesses, we can't assume what happened. But he says it's "certainly reasonable to suspect that when an elephant in a family group is in danger the other elephants might do everything they can to go help". There is well documented evidence of elephants recognising danger and co-ordinating their actions to stage a rescue. But Dr Plotnik says it seems unlikely that they would "actively all go over a waterfall in a dangerous situation like that". It was more likely a terrible accident. The elephants were spotted lying below the falls in the rushing water Dr Rachel Dale, an elephant behaviour specialist at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, agrees that elephants will unquestionably help an elephant in danger, "even if it's at a cost to themselves". But they're also "smart animals, really smart", she says, so probably have the ability to carry out a kind of perfunctory risk assessment before rushing in. Notoriously dangerous Bhichet Noonto leads the Thailand Human-Elephant Coexistence Project at the office of Thailand Science Research and Innovation, studying patterns of elephant behaviour. He said conditions in the park were miserable at the time of the accident, and Haew Narok was already a known hazard to elephants in the monsoon season. In 1992, eight elephants died after tumbling over the same falls - park officials have said they witnessed a mother on that occasion jump in after a baby. A calf is also suspected of having fallen off a cliff there in 1987. Concrete fencing has been put up to try to keep elephants away from dangers Park staff try to keep them clear of hazards, but can't be successful all the time To prevent further accidents, park officials constructed miles of concrete pillars to steer them away from hazardous places. But they couldn't cover everywhere, and the rangers have seen footsteps indicating this group had followed one fence all the way up the falls until they found a way through, right at the top.

Romania is drowning in waste and most of the landfills are overflowing. The recycling companies in charge of reprocessing the country's waste are at risk of not producing enough. This has driven those companies to import selected waste from countries like Britain. BBC correspondent Nick Thorpe has visited one of those sites.
