i mean assad regime abroad is of course it was conducting an operation after it and they received the the answer or of the response. that turkey put forward and you know they were pushed back but. recently i mean did did a relationship between y p g and assad regime is also interesting to look at because assad regime wants to was says claims to be one of the territorial integrity in syria but wait the jeep was a threat to that yet at a time like this are willing to coordinate and cooperate against turkey while the humanitarian cost of techies military operation is already being felt unicef says an estimated $70000.00 children have been displaced in just a week of fighting while tens of thousands of people if are in need of food as they flee the violence some of those fleeing the fighting are heading to iraq semi autonomous kurdish region has been a smith is there and has this update from the hulk. by tuesday morning another 270 refugees have crossed an informal crossing from syria into iraq it brings it to less than about 500 overnight that is a trickle of the old fart is here fear co

turkey is looking at what russia will do instead of assad regime. i mean assad regime brought in some force which it was conducting an operation after it and a received the the answer or the response. that took you put forward and you know they were pushed back but they recently i mean did that relationship between y p g and assad regime was also interesting to look at because assad regime wants to was says claims to be wanting the territorial integrity and syria but wait the jeep was a threat to that yet at a time like this are willing to coordinate and cooperate against turkey so that's a little bit interesting to look at by the same time to eat will and what should have said that it's very unlikely that the turkish forces will come across will come for confrontation with with the assad forces but the presence is very symbolic i think for the assad forces to be there right now however how russia what we act or will coordinate assad forces is more important for turkey than the presence of some such force you know who that russian position is critic

kurdish fighters in northeastern syria a cease fire there is expected to end chews day meanwhile bashar assad has called the president a thief he made the remarks during a visit to areas of the province that have been taken from backed rebels by government forces now iraq's military says u.s. troops who crossed over from syria do not have permission to stay in the country the soldiers are part of those forces who withdrew from syria as the takesh operation against kurdish fighters began the pentagon says the aim is to bring u.s.

whether it's russia or whether it's the assad regime nobody is in control of this and so what we will see is an escalation where there are miscalculations misunderstandings and the price will be paid by innocent civilians mostly women and children and the elderly thank you very much are sour and nothing and let's get reaction now from the united states roslyn jordan is in washington and. i just want to pick up on a point that our cell was making there about the possibility of a resurgent ice in the context of a deepening civil war in the area of course we know that the trump administration hailed the enduring defeat of i sell are lawmakers voicing their concerns about i still getting a new lease on life now. both congressional democrats and republicans are alarmed i think that's probably the mildest way to put it that i still could how now take advantage of this military operation to reassert to a group to bring in new recruits there had been talk in recent days about the organization's ability in particular to attract women not to just be helpmates as it were but to actually join as

regime to basically protect themselves and fight the other groups that are still fighting the assad regime because in the final analysis as you point out without american support they can't beat the turks and do you think that american support would the withdrawal of those u.s. troops from the area that the american support is gone i mean any chance the no fly zone that the kids according for will be established. well obviously there's always a chance but the president is trying to say we're getting out as roslyn pointed out this is a campaign promise and as horrible as this situation is most of trump's supporters really don't care about it because they will hold this of why p.g.p. cake what does it mean you know we've got to bring our troops home and we've got to start you know dealing with problems here and our new defense strategy is to deal with russia and china not these horrible middle east situation so those might be trump supporters but you know what about his allies there's widespread opposition in d.c. what's happening even among. republicans that significant. could stay p

engage in military operations in someone else's country unless you're invited in and certainly the assad government still holds the u.n. seat and hasn't invited turkey to carry out this operation where i think we have to look now we know the u.s. situation has been confused confusing since president trump appeared to great give the green light to this operation on sunday night and various parts of the administration trying to walk that back is what the russian situation is and what their position is russia certainly has a lot of dialogue with iran and turkey on this issue and it's interesting that the russian deputy ambassador at the security council has said that he would not to see discussions between the syrian kurds and the assad government suggesting perhaps to some of us who are watching this closely that the russians did give the green light to the turks to take this corridor all along the border push out the syrian kurds and try and persuade them to join the assad government's. governance of the rest of syria ok james meigs thank you. well a few hours before the operation began d

covered by the turkish offensive on its border with syria this will be the 1st time in 8 years that assad forces would be able to come back to this border area between syria and turkey we haven't heard officially from the syrian democratic forces that mainly kurdish led fighters but some commanders have been saying that they would not essentially want to leave these areas because they feel that this is demographic engineering that is being carried out by various parties and similar statements have been made by turkey as well that it was the kurds who carried out this demographic shift and turkey wants this safe area which is 30 kilometers deep in syrian territory so it can send back up to a 1000000 syrian refugees including 350000 according to the turkish president of the one who are kurds who want to go back to their areas so that they can rebuild their lives but that is only going to happen if peace returns to this part now britain's parliament has rejected prime minister barak plan to fast track has banks that deal with the european union that means there's little chance of the u.k. le

northern syria facing a turkish offensive they've turned to a new alliance with president bashar al assad how will that play out on the ground and for syria's kurds this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program i'm peter davi alliances are shifting in northern syria and areas of control could change in a way no one could have predicted the deal's been struck within the kurdish led syrian democratic forces or s.d.f. and the government the syrian army will now deploy along the border with turkey and aims to free areas under the control of the turks now this comes as turkey drives forward its offensive to clear the area from kurdish fighters it considers terrorists turkey says it wants to establish a quote safe zone reaching 30 kilometers into syria and intends to use it to resettle more than 3000000 syrian refugees is hosting well turkish forces have been making gains on the ground and that plan could be expanded the shift follows the u.s. decision to pull its remaining troops out of the area and what it calls an untenable situation president wretch up to i've heard it one has spok

managed to become the main power broker in syria but also came territory for his ally syrian president assad who now gets control back over a crucial border areas but this can only be called a russian success if they manage to remove kurdish fighters from a 30 kilometers and. only then will the turkish military operation and according to the russian foreign minister who spoke to the meeting putin also made it clear that for any future solution in syria the turkish and syrian government have to reach their own deal. russia wants to revive the 1998 adana agreement between syria and turkey in which syria committed to stop supporting kurdish fighters russia was quick to fill the vacuum left by the u.s. withdrawal from northern syria but by moskos own admission achieving any kind of lasting solution will be a long and complicated process turkey says it will not restart its military operations against kurdish fighters at this stage but russia says turkey has the right to restart its military operation if all kurdish fighters do not withdraw from along the entire border within the next 6 days with

it is a deeply easy alliance the assad government which had days before described the syrian kurds as traitors and separatists was quick to act the syrian army deployed to various positions around 35 kilometers from the turkish border russian military vehicles patrolled some of the areas in between to prevent a potential confrontation to turkish banks syrian rebels and the syrian army in a letter dated october 9th trump had warned not to launch an operation against syrian kurdish fighters don't to be a tough guy it said thought so but the 17th a u.s. delegation led by vice president mike pence flew to ankara for emergency talks and is traded insults and threats with world leaders criticizing his military operation no one expected a pause in the fighting to be announced today the united states and turkey have agreed to a cease fire in syria. turkish side will pause. operation peace spring. in order to allow for the withdrawal of y. p.g. forces from the safe zone. for 120 hours. president are a lot of valid that if kurdish forces haven't completely withdrawn from within the proposed saf

reaching consequences many thousands of people could have been killed the last administration said assad must go. they could have easily produced that outcome but they didn't in fact they drew a very powerful red line in the sand you will remember the red line in the saying and when children were gassed in killed but then did not honor their commitment as other children died in the same horrible manner but i did honor my commitments with 58 tomahawks 8 long years after president obama's ill fated push at regime change us troops are still on the ground in syria more than half a 1000000 people are dead hundreds of thousands are terribly injured and millions more syrians are displaced it really is a nightmare of misery across the middle east we have seen anguish on a colossal scale we have spent 8 trillion dollars on wars in the middle east never really wanting to win those wars but after all that money was spent and all those lives lost the young men and women gravely wounded so many the middle east is less safe less stable and less secure than before these conflicts began the same people

the northeast sending hundreds of more troops to police the new territory it's taken on behalf of the assad government russia's defense ministry says it will be establishing 15 security posts along the border which will be run by syrian government forces as the clock ticks down on the 60 hiatus between turkey and russia what controls have warned kurdish fighters to be drug within 30 kilometers inside syrian territory moscow says the draw has already begun and as battle lines become drawn and redrawn millions of syrians hold their breath as arabs and kurds they are waiting for peace to come to these areas so they can return home some of the al-jazeera a chocolate on the turkey syria border. as you heard the turkish president's warning the u.s. about its relationship with a kurdish commander criticizing washington for treating him like a legitimate political figure now there's widespread political support in the us for general barney to visit and discuss the situation in syria but turkey sees him as the head of a terrorist organization and a fugitive as it. is that he would seek the general's

regime and ensure he assad regime survives the current syrian civil war and russia succeeded ensuring that their operations in syria have not been focused on targeting eisel they have a much wider objective politically so as a result we may have certain beliefs about eisel that we share with the russian federation but there jack is an obvious aim of course this area that he was found and the russians could have easily and they would have easily could have found in themselves and so maybe their priority was not as focused as ours brush a ministry of defense statement is is trying not necessarily to blow the reliability but to undermine the fact that russia could any role in helping united states in this operation if the ministry of defense statement was clear and say the russian naval or support this up aeration and of course president trump noted that they didn't ask the russians for assistance there was no assistance provided they simply inform them and the russians to down again this is something that has let me at it many times before it is that u.s. forces push and sell the shared

so we looking from turkey we are sure that the assad regime and their intervention in the membership in will not bring security and we know that they have been working together so it would not destroy the white p.g. threat against turkey so looking from turkey turkey has to continue. the clearance its border with white p.g. militants so one way or another turkey will continue its military operation to clear the border even on to other news now on protesters and police have clashed on the 2nd day of rallies in the spanish city of basra lorena the demonstrations against our against the jailing of 9. is signing a guy who has more. if for the 2nd night in a row clashes commotion and angry protests. turned into an outburst a few reem barcelona city center forward police say some 40000 protesters have made their way here some even prepared for violence as if from bottles and set fire to rubbish containers or began as a peaceful vigil soon after turned into a riot so with the 2 main storify as in the city center quickly turned into a no go area. regional leaders so often at odds with the ce

area but an area of course of syria is the larger swathe of syria that remains out of the control of assad forces for the moment so and indeed real questions being asked about kurdish security as well as concern about those that they have in detention primarily i saw fighters and their families. well that was always one of the biggest concerns in the biggest warnings that the syrian kurds had to give to the international community there are some 2000 isel fighters being held in detention centers in syrian controlled parts of kurdish controlled parts of syria the syrian kurds have said that look if we are forced to go to the front lines it might not be as easy for us to main secure to maintain security around those prisons they have saying that in fact warm prison near commish lee was hit by turkish mortars they said that center is holding some 60 arsenal fighters and we also know that donald trump in the white house have said that 2 particularly high high profile eisel fighters british citizens wanted in connection with the murder of western hostages they have been moved to u.s. security a

follow on down jordan assad is there live from doha also coming up the u.s. withdraws from syria and its troops cross into the northern kurdish region of iraq . libya's president looks like he's a face a runoff election he attempts to secure a 4th consecutive term in office. and australia's these papers block out the front pages accusing the government of a crackdown on press freedom. but we begin with the anti-government protests in lebanon the prime minister saad hariri is holding a cabinet meeting now with his cabinet to discuss new economic measures he's expected to announce a series of reforms. in an effort to stop the protests which have been happening for days now well ahead of that meeting president michel aoun said he sympathized with the protesters but stated that accusing all politicians of corruption is not fair joins us live now from beirut center so this cabinet meeting has been taking place for some time now what's likely to come out of this do you think. the ministers are discussing a new economic plan but the prime minister's subtle how do yo

assad in and of assisting political landscape. yes that will require a lot of skill in performing inside syria bank we the russian leadership the russian military there believe that they can manage it there's as a great opportunity to push the americans out to get control of important areas and what has not yet been decided and apparently was not decided in such here at least we don't know it was not maybe but it's not in the published memorandum is where there's go the control of the syrian oil fields the very important strategically important syrian oil fields that were under american kurdish control in the north of the euphrates and which russia very much wanted to take control of not for itself not that we need more oil but for the syrian government per se because that would give them a source of income that they don't have and that would also help iran that was mostly financing the assad government because now they're also very short on currency free currency because of the american sanctions so right now it's not clear who's

half years from world leaders there is no military solution in syria and yet we watched one play out assad is carried out with the help of the russians and a military solution are you dismayed that a series of deescalation zones were picked off one by one we certainly have witnessed the same discrepancy and i have myself. highlighted in public statements the same discrepancy over the last couple of years step for 8 years we have heard political leaders talking about the fact that there is no military solution while pursuing on the ground military solutions in syria i see or see as a humanitarian organization doesn't pronounce itself on the justification or not of military operation we are concerned about how these military operation anaconda you were once diligence decide to go to war and in that sense we have even more been this stressed by the. repetitive violations of international humanitarian law in the conduct of us still it is in the use of weapons in the treatment of detainees so syria unfortunately has been and has become an emblematic conflict where the last couple of years we're

return to the pos we'll hear more about the challenges ahead but 1st said i sub 0 reports from when assad is. a party. to celebrate the victory of 5 at the thought of them this and the defeat of precedent. on the simply on says she's proud of the results. of the c.s.s. yes all. my life i've been fighting for social justice and the past 4 years have been torture for me seeing how the economic situation deteriorated because of mccray now i can be proud of being argentinian again. people here are celebrating the comeback of their parents ok he was already who they hope will help argentina with what coming in after that difficult economic situation with a 55 percent inflation rate and the possibility of a default in the 4 and that i would have to find a man this was chief of staff to former president. he's running maybe still time pressing cristina fernandez the kershner a lot of a man this went from being a staunch critic of christina kirshner to joining forces with her in order to unite the peronist party to defeat marketing. until december 10th the president is mockery and of course we wil

regime in a surety assad in sirte rise the current syrian civil war and russia succeeded ensuring that there are more asians in syria have not been focused on targeting eisel they have a much wider objective politically so as a result we may have certain beliefs about i saw that we share with the russian federation but there are echoes an obvious name of course this area that he was found in the russians could have easily and maybe not easily could have found in themselves and so maybe their primary was not as focused as ours. california's governor has declared a state of emergency as multiple wildfires burn uncontrollably almost 200000 people have been ordered to leave their homes as hurricane force winds threaten to devastate large areas of the state krisna salumi has the latest. wind gusts of around 140 kilometers an hour are fueling the flames in the heart of california's wine country the fire began wednesday and is only 10 percent contained putting people and property at risk dozens of structures have burned to the ground we've got rates of spread that are extremely dangerous at t

it's an important deal because the kurds and the assad regime in damascus both have the same enemies they have turkey as their enemy number one and the islamist rebel groups as their enemy number 2 this is a long standing. you know in a sense. i would say partnership but it's an uneasy partnership that they've had damascus cannot rule northeast syria without the kurds on the other hand damascus is not going to allow the kurds the kind of autonomy independence or use of their own school system in kurdish that they that they will power what does that mean for this this semi autonomous situation that the kurds have had. you know i think the kurds will be able to continue with that semi autonomous rule for some time because the damascus military is weak but over time damascus as damascus centralizes and reestablish itself it's going to eat away at that autonomy no doubt about it damascus has made it very clear that they do not want the kind of situation that you that kurds in iraq enjoy where almost no kurds speak arabic any longer the s.d.f. what has been very clear that you know that t

to create what it calls a safe zone to allow refugees who are afraid to live under president bashar assad's rule to return home. i hope very soon we will liberate a field forman beach through rocky border guaranteed a 1000000 in the 1st phase and 2000000 in the 2nd phase will return to syria. but it is the russian backed syrian army which returned to the north east restoring control for the 1st time since 2013 the abrupt pullout by the us military forced its longtime partners the kurdish led syrian democratic forces to cede control of territory to damascus for protection. the s d f is the target of the turkish military operation in northeast syria the armed group is largely made up of fighters from the syrian kurdish y p g organization that turkey calls terrorists because of its links with the p k k turkey wants to push the group away from the border but it is fighting back so far the turkey led forces have not been able to complete the 1st phase of the operation that involves securing the 120 kilometer long and 30 kilometer deep pocket along the border. turkey is also coming under diplomat

from and and that doesn't basically count at all at this point in time is the syrian president bashar assad and it's clear what's happening in syria or northern syria is none of his business and it certainly is something that president putin dictates along with president of the wind at this point in time mo and we'll talk to you later i'm sure in the meantime thanks very much ok if you're just joining us here on al-jazeera let's just sum up for you what's happened literally in the past half hour it will show you will rewrite those pictures for you all that news conference between mr putin right mr one on the left mr one saying we spent a lot of time on a stana he was also invoking the usability if you will of adarna that's the 1998 agreement which basically put relations between damascus back on the same page but as to a standard he said we spent a lot of effort on a stan a stan is the peace process that has overtaken geneva point i think from memory we got up to geneva 5 maybe even geneva 6 and then the whole thing fizzled and died but the main thing on the agenda today for. mr well was a

ceasefire we want a lasting peace in syria i hope our meeting will make progress meanwhile bashar al assad has called president a thief he made the remarks during a visit to areas of italy a province taken from turkish backed rebels by government forces not to gambia and the whole of the thief he stole our plants and factories our produce and he stole our oil with the help of ice so now he is stealing our lands and who we are called . but i do want to ledges to have entered syria of his own choice however over the past 9 years he's been trying but couldn't or rather not authorized he said to have informed the americans as he you are simply a servant you were ordered to enter and you did. ok let's go to war in the talks between the russian and turkish leaders our correspondent stan vasant is there for us this hour step how long until we get an idea of the direction of travel of the cease fire i mean might the even extend it if only to give those last remaining kurdish fighters the chance to leave. well it's only 3 hours now until the deadline of the cease fire expires and both president put

manage to become the main power broker in syria he also gain territory for his allies syrian president assad who now gets back control over crucial border areas but we can only call this a russian success if they manage to remove and this arm goodish fighters from this 30 kilometers zone. only down will the turkish military operation and according to the russian foreign minister who spoke after the meeting put and also made it clear that for any future solution in syria the turkish and syrian government have to reach their own deal russia wants to revive the 998 agreement between syria and turkey in which syria committed to stop supporting could issue fighters russia was quick to fill the vacuum left by the u.s. withdrawal from north eastern syria but by moscow's own admission achieving any kind of lasting solution will be a long and complicated process steps last an al-jazeera sochi. a closer look now on the map. and there are encouraged wants to create. it'll be along the border obviously between turkey and syria it goes about 30 kilometers into syria the joint patrols themselves would be

covered by the turkish offensive on its border with syria this will be the 1st time in 80 years that assad forces would be able to come back to this border area between syria and turkey we haven't heard officially from the syrian democratic forces the mainly kurdish led fighters but some commanders have been saying that they would not essentially want to leave these areas because they feel that this is demographic engineering that is being carried out by various parties and similar statements have been made by turkey as well that it was the kurds who carried out this demographic shift and turkey wants this safe area which is 30 kilometers deep in syrian territory so it can send back up to a 1000000 syrian refugees including 350000 according to the turkish president of the one who are kurds who want to go back to their areas so that they can rebuild their lives but that is only going to happen if peace returns to this part moving on and britain's parliament has rejected prime minister barak's johnson's plan to fast track has backed that deal with the european union now that means there's li

states raced to get oil fields and border territory it's an important deal because the kurds and the assad regime in damascus both have the same enemies they have turkey as their enemy number one and the islamist rebel groups as their enemy number 2 this is a long standing. you know in a sense. i would say partnership but it's not an easy partnership that they've had damascus cannot rule ne syria without the kurds on the other hand damascus is not going to allow the kurds the kind of autonomy independence or use of their own school system in kurdish that they that they have i think the kurds will be able to continue with that semi autonomous rule for some time because the damascus military is weak but over time damascus as damascus centralizes and re-establish itself it's going to eat away at that autonomy no doubt about it damascus has made it very clear that they do not want the kind of situation that you that kurds in iraq enjoy where almost no kurds speak arabic any longer. at least 30 people are confirmed dead after a powerful typhoon struck parts of central japan on the weekend tens

assad in and of assisting political landscape. yes that will require a lot of skill in performing inside syria bank we the russian leadership the russian military there believe that they can manage it there's as a great opportunity to push the americans out to get control of important areas and what has not yet been decided and apparently was not decided in such here at least we don't know it was not maybe but it's not in the published memorandum is where there's go the control of the syrian oil fields the very important strategically important syrian oil fields that were under american kurdish control in the north of the euphrates and which russia very much wanted to take control of not for itself not that we need more oil but for the syrian government per se because that would give them a source of income that they don't have and that would also help iran that was mostly financing the assad government because now they're also very short on currency free currency because of the american sanctions so right now it's not clear who's

and yes i sold in syria has not been a russian ari from day one their priority is in bolstering the assad regime and assuring the assad regime survives the current syrian civil war and russian succeeded ensuring that their operations in syria have not been focused on targeting eisel they have a much wider objective politically so as a result we may have certain beliefs about eisel that we share with the russian federation but there are checkers are not the same of course this area that he was found in the russians could have easily and they are not easily could have found in themselves and so maybe their heart rate was not as focused as ours if we assume that it would have been an impossible for the americans to do this without getting the russians on board and informing them even if that informational that informing of them rather i should say happened quite close to the event why would the russians react by trying to blow up the trump kendall oh miss one and question is for the ditzy therefore trying to undermine what he was talking about for more than an hour inside the white house. yo

so we are looking from turkey we are sure that the assad regime and their intervention in the membership in will not bring security and we know that they have been working together so it will not stop the p.g. threat against turkey so looking from turkey turkey has to continue. the clearance its border with why p.g. militants are say one way or another turkey will continue its military operation to clear the border marty in our time and thank you for speaking to us from ankara. the rest of the day's news is coming out ahead right here on the al-jazeera news hour and unrest in guinea is the president's bid for a 3rd term sparks widespread anger. after weeks of accusations from donald trump joe biden's son speaks out to tell his side of the story and sport history is made as palestine hosts saudi arabia in a world cup qualifier but not everybody is happy we'll explain a little later in the program. but 1st the e.u. has given britain until the end of tuesday to work out a breakfast deal for the block to consider a summit in brussels in 2 there is time for more on that let's cross over to ba
