Turkey's defence ministry said today that one its soldier was killed during clashes with Kurdish militia in the northern Syria operation as it continued its push&nbsp;across the border.

Three more soldiers were injured in the "operation region", the defence ministry added.

Turkish troops continued their operation<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/thousands-flee-dozens-reported-killed-as-turkey-pushes-syria-assault-255067">&nbsp;inside Syria</a> even as a divided UN Security Council on Thursday was&nbsp;unable to convince the rest of the 15-state body to adopt a statement asking Turkey to halt its military operations in northern Syria.

France, Germany, Britain, Belgium and Poland were forced to deliver their statement alone, while the United States issued a separate statement asserting that it did not endorse the Turkish operation.

First Turkish soldier killed during Syria operation: Defence ministry

As Turkish troops began their offensive in northeast Syria, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/thousands-flee-dozens-reported-killed-as-turkey-pushes-syria-assault-255067">US President Trump said</a> he hopes he can mediate between Turkey and Kurds.

"We have one of three choices: Send in thousands of troops and win militarily, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/turkey-faces-us-sanctions-from-hell-after-syria-kurd-assault-255061">hit Turkey very hard financially</a> and with sanctions, or mediate a deal between Turkey and the Kurds! the US president said.

On Tuesday, thousands of civilians fled their homes as Turkish troops pounded Kurdish military positions in northeast Syria. According to reports, at least twenty-three fighters with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and six fighters with a Turkish-backed Syrian rebel group were killed in the initial assault launched by Turkish troops.

Trump, however, declared that ISS was defeated "100%" and the US no longer "has any troops in the area under attack by Turkey, in Syria." "We did our job perfectly," the US president added.

The civilian exodus from the area around the military operation has been immense. The International Rescue Committee said 64,000 people in Syria have fled since the campaign began on Wednesday&nbsp;with Ras al-Ain and Darbasiya towns which fall directly in the assault zone practically deserted.

The rescue committee said Turkish forces had already seized two villages near Ras al-Ain and five near the town of Tel Abyad. Meanwhile, Turkey has said it intends to create a "safe zone" for the return of millions of refugees to Syria even as fighting continues in the region.

Turkey President Erdogan defiantly declared on Thursday that he would permit Syrian refugees in Turkey to move to Europe if EU countries described his forces' move as an occupation. Turkey is reportedly holding at least 3.6 million people who have fled the conflict in Syria.&nbsp;

Although Turkey brands the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia as terrorists because of their ties to militants who have waged an insurgency in Turkey, the US Congress feels Kurds have been instrumental in defeating the Islamic State terrorists.

"The prize is also meant to recognise all the stakeholders working for peace and reconciliation in Ethiopia and in the east and northeast African regions," the Nobel Committee said in a statement, adding,"when Abiy Ahmed became Prime Minister in April 2018, he made it clear that he wished to resume peace talks with Eritrea."&nbsp;

"In close cooperation with Isaias Afwerki, the President of Eritrea, Abiy Ahmed quickly worked out the principles of a peace agreement to end the long “no peace, no war” stalemate" between the two countries."&nbsp;

"These principles are set out in the declarations that Prime Minister Abiy and President Afwerki signed in Asmara and Jeddah last July and September. An important premise for the breakthrough was Abiy Ahmed’s unconditional willingness to accept the arbitration ruling of an international boundary commission in 2002," the Nobel Committee said in a statement.

England&nbsp;manager Gareth&nbsp;Southgate&nbsp;has said his team will adhere to&nbsp;UEFA's protocols if they are subjected to&nbsp;racist&nbsp;abuse&nbsp;in their Euro 2020 qualifiers but stated that his priority would be to provide a safe environment for his players.

UEFA's three-step protocol if players are racially&nbsp;abused involves the referee first halting play and making an announcement to the supporters to immediately stop&nbsp;racist&nbsp;behaviour.

The second step sees the match suspended for some time and both teams are sent to the dressing room if the&nbsp;abuse&nbsp;continues, with another warning given to the fans. In the third and final step, the referee decides to abandon the match.

"There is the&nbsp;UEFA&nbsp;process and we have to have faith in that process. Then everything else is hypothetical,"&nbsp;Southgate&nbsp;told reporters on Thursday.

"We want the players to be able to concentrate on football, they want to be judged on football. What I've got to do is provide a secure, safe environment for them to play."

England&nbsp;play the Czech Republic on Friday and Bulgaria on Monday.&nbsp;UEFA&nbsp;ordered the partial closure of Bulgaria's Vasil Levski stadium after&nbsp;racist&nbsp;behaviour by their supporters in June's qualifiers against the Czechs and Kosovo.

England&nbsp;striker Tammy Abraham indicated this week that the players could act as a group and leave the pitch if subjected to&nbsp;abuse, regardless of&nbsp;UEFA's protocol.

In response, Bulgarian soccer chief Borislav Mihaylov said&nbsp;England&nbsp;players who walk off the pitch should face punishment if they breach&nbsp;UEFA&nbsp;protocol and&nbsp;Southgate&nbsp;tried to defuse the situation.

"We are not trying to create a situation at all, far from it,"&nbsp;Southgate&nbsp;said. "We're all hoping that over the next 72 hours, we're just talking about two football matches.

"I think both countries would have a strong desire for that and I have to say again, we don't look at other countries in a way that we don't shine a mirror on our own."

Southgate&nbsp;was referring to a National League game last month between Hartlepool and Dover which was suspended for more than 10 minutes after alleged&nbsp;racist&nbsp;abuse&nbsp;from the supporters.

"What happened in Hartlepool a couple of weeks ago was probably worse than things I've seen or heard about in many other countries in the world,"&nbsp;Southgate&nbsp;added. "So, I think we have to be very careful in how we cover everything."

England, who have a game in hand, are top of Group A with 12 points from four games. The Czech Republic is second with nine points and Bulgaria bottom with two.

Croatia&nbsp;remained firmly on&nbsp;course&nbsp;to reach Euro 2020 after two goals from striker Bruno Petkovic helped them to a 3-0 home win over&nbsp;Hungary&nbsp;while&nbsp;Wales&nbsp;kept alive their hopes with a 1-1 draw at&nbsp;Slovakia&nbsp;in qualifying Group E on Thursday.

The&nbsp;Croatians top the group with 13 points from six matches and will secure a berth in next year's finals with a match to spare if they beat&nbsp;Wales&nbsp;away on Sunday.

Slovakia&nbsp;are second on 10 points from six matches, one ahead of third-placed&nbsp;Hungary, while&nbsp;Wales&nbsp;are fourth with seven points from five games. The bottom team Azerbaijan has one point from five matches.

The&nbsp;Croatians dominated after captain Luka Modric fired them into a fifth-minute lead when he picked up a loose ball in midfield, raced down the middle and steered a shot past&nbsp;Hungary&nbsp;goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi.

Petkovic made it 2-0 with a delightful back-heel from close range after Ante Rebic left his marker for dead on the left flank and squared the ball to the Dinamo Zagreb hitman.

A catalogue of defensive errors allowed Petkovic to bundle in the third late in the first half, as Tamas Kadar and Gulacsi misjudged Ivan Perisic's low cross from the right.

Gulacsi made amends in the 55th minute when he saved Perisic's penalty after Rebic was fouled but any slim hopes of a&nbsp;Hungary&nbsp;comeback were dashed moments later when Laszlo Kleinheisler was sent off for a second bookable offence.

Wales&nbsp;missed a chance to close in on the top two after a sumptuous second-half volley by&nbsp;Slovakia&nbsp;defender Juraj Kucka cancelled out Kieffer Moore's 25th-minute opener.

Moore headed home after Daniel James delivered a fine cross into the penalty area but the visitors failed to clear a Peter Pekarik cross in the 53rd minute and Kucka blasted in the equaliser from 20 meters.

Gareth Bale hit the crossbar for&nbsp;Wales&nbsp;with a first-half header and the&nbsp;Slovakians had defender Norbert Gyomber sent off in the 88th minute for a second yellow card after a poor tackle on Moore.

Croatia remained firmly on course to reach Euro 2020 after two goals from striker Bruno Petkovic helped them to a 3-0 home win over Hungary while Wales kept alive their hopes with a 1-1 draw at Slovakia in qualifying Group E on Thursday.

Euro 2020 qualifiers: Croatia thump Hungary to stay on course, Slovakia hold Wales

Memphis Depay scored twice, and Luuk de Jong was also on target as the Netherlands&nbsp;came back from a goal down with 10 minutes left to&nbsp;beat&nbsp;Northern&nbsp;Ireland&nbsp;3-1 in their Euro 2020 qualifier in Rotterdam on Thursday.

It was a fortunate escape for the home side who fell behind when Josh Magennis gave&nbsp;Northern&nbsp;Ireland&nbsp;the lead in the 75th minute after a stout defensive performance had frustrated the hosts.

Yet the&nbsp;Dutch&nbsp;responded with an equaliser from Depay in the 80th minute and then two stoppage-time&nbsp;goals&nbsp;that put them in a three-way tie at the top of Group C.

Netherlands, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/germany-edge-northern-ireland-to-restore-euro-2020-order-248768">Germany and&nbsp;Northern&nbsp;Ireland&nbsp;</a>all have 12 points, although the Irish have played a game more.

Substitute Magennis rose high to head home Stuart Dallas’s cross as the&nbsp;Dutch&nbsp;paid the price for sloppy defending.

Daley Blind miscued two attempted clearances and was then&nbsp;beaten by Dallas, whose cross was expertly met by Magennis as he rose above Matthijs de Ligt to score.

Depay toe-poked home the equaliser from a square ball by Donyell Malen that eluded the&nbsp;Northern&nbsp;Irish defence, as the visitors' lead lasted just five minutes.

Then, as the game went into stoppage time, substitute De Jong needed two chances before finishing at the back post before Depay made sure of a vital three points with another goal after being set up by Frenkie de Jong.

“How we reacted was great,” said&nbsp;Dutch&nbsp;captain Virgil van Dijk.

“We were patient, we kept looking for&nbsp;goals&nbsp;and we got our reward for our second-half performance where we put on the pressure.

“In the end, it was a deserved win with an outstanding reaction,” he told NOS.

Yet it was a frustrating night for the&nbsp;Dutch, who did not manage an effort on the visitors' goal until just before the half-hour mark when Steven Bergwijn's shot was blocked.

It took 44 minutes before&nbsp;Northern&nbsp;Ireland&nbsp;goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell actually had to make an intervention, easily collecting the ball as Georginio Wijnaldum’s attempted header looped up into the air.

The&nbsp;Dutch&nbsp;ratcheted up the pressure in the second half when Donny van de Beek came on, with center-back Jonny Evans clearing his lines in the 71st minute as Wijnaldum looked to steer the ball home from a difficult angle.

Yet then Magennis silenced the home fans before the&nbsp;Dutch&nbsp;picked themselves up for a grand finale.

Earlier on Thursday, bottom team Estonia picked up their first point with a goalless draw away in Minsk against Belarus.

The pair are already out of contention in the group with Belarus second from bottom on four points after six games.

Memphis Depay scored twice, and Luuk de Jong was also on target as the Netherlands came back from a goal down with 10 minutes left to beat Northern Ireland 3-1 in their Euro 2020 qualifier in Rotterdam on Thursday.

Memphis Depay scored twice, and Luuk de Jong was also on target as the Netherlands came back from a goal down with 10 minutes left to beat Northern Ireland 3-1 in their Euro 2020 qualifier in Rotterdam on Thursday. It was a fortunate escape for the home side who fell behind when Josh Magennis gave Northern Ireland the lead in the 75th minute after a stout defensive performance had frustrated the hosts. Yet the Dutch responded with an equaliser from Depay in the 80th minute and then two stoppage-time goals that put them in a three-way tie at the top of Group C. Netherlands, Germany and Northern Ireland all have 12 points, although the Irish have played a game more. Substitute Magennis rose high to head home Stuart Dallas’s cross as the Dutch paid the price for sloppy defending. Daley Blind miscued two attempted clearances and was then beaten by Dallas, whose cross was expertly met by Magennis as he rose above Matthijs de Ligt to score. Depay toe-poked home the equaliser from a square ball by Donyell Malen that eluded the Northern Irish defence, as the visitors' lead lasted just five minutes. Then, as the game went into stoppage time, substitute De Jong needed two chances before finishing at the back post before Depay made sure of a vital three points with another goal after being set up by Frenkie de Jong. “How we reacted was great,” said Dutch captain Virgil van Dijk. “We were patient, we kept looking for goals and we got our reward for our second-half performance where we put on the pressure. “In the end, it was a deserved win with an outstanding reaction,” he told NOS. Yet it was a frustrating night for the Dutch, who did not manage an effort on the visitors' goal until just before the half-hour mark when Steven Bergwijn's shot was blocked. It took 44 minutes before Northern Ireland goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell actually had to make an intervention, easily collecting the ball as Georginio Wijnaldum’s attempted header looped up into the air. The Dutch ratcheted up the pressure in the second half when Donny van de Beek came on, with center-back Jonny Evans clearing his lines in the 71st minute as Wijnaldum looked to steer the ball home from a difficult angle. Yet then Magennis silenced the home fans before the Dutch picked themselves up for a grand finale. Earlier on Thursday, bottom team Estonia picked up their first point with a goalless draw away in Minsk against Belarus. The pair are already out of contention in the group with Belarus second from bottom on four points after six games.

Euro 2020 qualifier: Dutch grab late goals to beat Northern Ireland

Belgium&nbsp;became the&nbsp;first&nbsp;side through to the&nbsp;Euro&nbsp;2020&nbsp;finals&nbsp;after&nbsp;thrashing San Marino 9-0 on Thursday with Romelu Lukaku scoring his 50th and 51st international goals.

Russia was on the verge of joining the world's top-ranked nation as second qualifiers from Group I&nbsp;after&nbsp;running out 4-0&nbsp;winners at home to Scotland with all the goals coming in the second half.

Unbeaten&nbsp;Belgium&nbsp;has 21 points from seven games, with only one goal conceded, while Russia has 18 and Cyprus, 2-1&nbsp;winners over Kazakhstan in Astana, are on 10. The top two qualify directly.

San Marino managed to keep a clean sheet for 27 minutes against the 2018 World Cup semi-finalists before, as expected, the floodgates opened at Brussels's King Baudouin Stadium and the goals poured in for Roberto Martinez's side.

Inter Milan striker Lukaku became the&nbsp;first&nbsp;Belgian to reach a half-century of international goals with a right-footed shot to open the scoring.

He set up Nacer Chadli three minutes later before an own-goal from Cristian Brolli put&nbsp;Belgium&nbsp;3-0 up in the 35th.

Lukaku grabbed his second on 41 minutes assisted by Real Madrid's Eden Hazard.

"It's nice to be so good in the national&nbsp;team, but at the end of the day I want to&nbsp;win&nbsp;a trophy with&nbsp;Belgium," Lukaku told Belgian broadcaster RTBF.

A deflected Toby Alderweireld effort in the 43rd minute and a Youri Tielemens shot in stoppage time saw&nbsp;Belgium&nbsp;cruise in 6-0 up at the break.

The pace slowed before Christian Benteke broke his three-year international drought by coming off the bench to score three minutes later, in the 79th, by wrong-footing the goalkeeper from the edge of the area.

Yari Verschaeren, 18, came off the bench to score his&nbsp;first&nbsp;senior goal from the penalty spot to make it 8-0 in the 84th and Timothy Castagne rounded off the tally in the 90th minute.

"We wanted the 10th, but we didn't get it, unfortunately," said Hazard.

"We started well, we had some chances and could have scored sooner. But we know that in this kind of game you have to be patient."

Russia dominated possession at the Luzhniki stadium but were frustrated throughout the&nbsp;first&nbsp;half by a Scotland side that failed to muster a single shot on target.

The Scots, who can no longer qualify automatically but remain in contention through the playoffs, crumbled&nbsp;after&nbsp;the break.

Artem Dzyuba made the breakthrough for Russia on the volley in the 57th and a second followed three minutes later when Magomed Ozdoev blasted a long-range screamer past David Marshall.

Dzyuba headed in his second in the 70th minute, with an Aleksandr Golovin shot going in off the post in the 84th, as Russia cruised to a comfortable&nbsp;win.

Belgium became the first side through to the Euro 2020 finals after thrashing San Marino 9-0 on Thursday with Romelu Lukaku scoring his 50th and 51st international goals.

Belgium first team to enter Euro 2020 finals after thrashing San Marino

Austria&nbsp;defender Martin&nbsp;Hinteregger&nbsp;scored a goal that any striker would have been proud of to set up a 3-1 win over&nbsp;Israel&nbsp;in Euro 2020 qualifying on Thursday.

The&nbsp;Austrians moved into second place in Group G above Slovenia, who were surprised 2-1 away to North Macedonia with an Eljif Elmas brace, while a Robert Lewandowski hat-trick gave leaders Poland a comfortable 3-0 win away to basement side Latvia.

The top two in the six-team group qualify for Euro 2020.

Austria&nbsp;made a slow start in front of a half-full Ernst Happel Stadium and were stunned when Eran Zahavi, scorer of a hat-trick in&nbsp;Israel's 4-2 win in the first meeting of the two teams in the group, but the visitors in front with a sublime effort in the 34th minute.

Munas Dabbur threaded the ball through to Zahavi who side-stepped his marker and lashed a dipping shot into the top corner from 25 meters.

Valentino Lazaro slotted in the equaliser from Marco Arnautovic's pass seven minutes later and&nbsp;Austria&nbsp;went ahead 11 minutes after the break.

Andreas Ulmer thumped a cross into the area where&nbsp;Hinteregger, between two defenders, controlled the ball on his thigh, turned and sent his effort past keeper Ofir Marciano

Marcel Sabitzer added the third with a deflected shot in the 88th minute to leave&nbsp;Austria&nbsp;second with 13 points from seven games, two ahead of North Macedonia and Slovenia. Poland lead with 16 and&nbsp;Israel&nbsp;is fifth with eight.

Slovenia nearly took a first-half lead in Skopje when Josip Ilicic ran the from near the halfway line and cut the ball back to Andraz Sporar whose effort was deflected wide.

Five minutes after the break, Elmas played a one-two with veteran Goran Pandev and dinked the ball over Jan Oblak to put North Macedonia in front.

A Slovenia corner lead to the second goal in the 68th minute. As the ball was cleared, North Macedonia burst forward and Arijan Ademi found Elmas who ran on and slipped a calm finish under Oblak. Ilicic's stoppage-time penalty was too late for Slovenia.

The prolific Lewandowski took his tally to 11 goals in his last seven appearances for club and country with his treble against Latvia.

He exchanged passes with Sebastian Szymanski and&nbsp;beat&nbsp;keeper Andris Vanins after nine minutes and then turned in Kamil Grosicki's low cross after Latvia was dispossessed in midfield.

He completed his sixth Poland hat-trick by tapping in Grosicki's cross-shot in the 76th minute.

Latvia, who have lost all seven games in the group, extended their winless run to 15 internationals.

Euro 2020 qualifier: Martin Hinteregger unlikely hero as Austria beat Israel

Real Madrid's&nbsp;Gareth&nbsp;Bale&nbsp;said anger over his treatment and media speculation about his future at the Spanish club had not distracted him from giving his best on the pitch.

The 30-year-old forward was involved in a t<a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/zinedine-zidane-a-disgrace-over-gareth-bale-exit-comments-agent-237496">ense stand-off with coach Zinedine Zidane in the off-season</a>, with the Frenchman stating he was keen for&nbsp;Bale&nbsp;to leave, although a reported move to<a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/real-madrid-block-gareth-bale-china-move-source-239047"> Chinese club Jiangsu Suning in July was scrapped.</a>

Bale&nbsp;has since forced his way back into Zidane's plans and helped Real go to the top of the league - scoring two goals and providing two assists in six matches - but reports continue to link the Welshman with a move away from Santiago Bernabeu.

"You play with a lot of emotion, and anger comes into it, but I'm just trying to play football, enjoy it as much as I can and give my best,"&nbsp;Bale&nbsp;told reporters ahead of Wales' Euro 2020 qualifier in Slovakia on Thursday.

"Whenever I step onto the pitch I give 100 per cent&nbsp;to help the team ... I love meeting up with Wales. I haven't got anything to clear my mind about."

Wales manager Ryan Giggs suggested&nbsp;Bale's situation at the club had improved.

"It would have unsettled him because it was apparently very close for him going," Giggs said.

"Things do change quickly in football and now he's playing, he's loved, he's happy, and I expect him to carry on doing what he's doing for Real."

Wales are fourth in Group E with six points, but have a game in hand over leaders Croatia (10 points), Slovakia and Hungary (nine points each).
