that is the show for today. "real money" airs 7:00 p.m. ♪ >> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ welcome to another news hour from al jazeera in doha and coming up, in the next 60 minutes, turkey agrees to allow kurdish fighters across its territory to help defend kobani. winning the battle, nigeria is the second west african state officially declared ebola free. a bad day for japan's prime minister, two recently appointed

female cabinet ministers resign in a corruption scandal. and we report on assets to create the world east largest marine reserve. ♪ we begin this news hour with the fight for kobani and what could be a major development and turkey fighters from iraq to travel across the territory and that is good news for defending kobani and resupplied by the u.s. airforce and ammunition and supplies were dropped from the air and we have reaction from inside syria. >> reporter: isil forces surrounding the kurdish town of kobani and what stands in their way kurdish forces on the ground and they had weapons air dropped in the heavily devastated town.

>> translator: in the earlier hours a good quantity of weapons, ammunition and equipment were air dropped by american planes over kobani and the quantity was great and not bad at all and will help defend kobani and america and we hope for more support and aid. >> reporter: after dozens of u.s. led air strikes on kobani kurdish forces were calling for more weapons and isil controls about a third of the town and armed with heavy artillery. . >> translator: kobani is under siege and arrival of the weapons is good. >> reporter: trying to go to the tip of kobani to take control of the border crossing in turkey and the they are stopped it depends how well equipped the force also be and calls for american and coalition help are unlikely to cease any

time soon. i'm with al jazeera. let's bring in al jazeera's mr. smith near kobani on the turkish side of the syrian border, what are we to make of this development here, bernard, talking about iraqi kurdish fighters and i can imagine there are a number of turkish kurds who want to get this there and fight isil. >> reporter: yes, they are and waiting on this side of the border since isil started to move and encircle kobani but the fact that turkey is allowing pershmerga forces in kobani and aiding the transit to kobani is in itself very significant. for four weeks turkey has resisted pressure to provide assistance apart from humanitarian assistance to provide assistance to the syrian kurds in kobani and somewhere some where an arm has been twisted and accept the u.s. has been flying dropped weapons over

kobani and allowing pershmerga forces to join and provide support and reenforcements to the kurds in kobani so a real change of what is happening in kobani. >> you talked about an arm having been twisted, president obama spoke with his turkish counterpart at the weekend and of course that was a precursor to air drops we saw, resupply of arms and ammunition to fighters already in kobani. >> reporter: yes, and the turkish presidential sources are telling us that president obama said to one turkish president that the situation in kobani was desperate is how he described it to president erdawan and erdawan is said to have reservations about the air drop but we heard nothing more about that. we do know the kurds in kobani

and told us this morning the weapons that were dropped were quote very, very good and they believe the weapons they have got are enough for them to push isil out of the town and say if these sort of drops continue they will be able to push out isil forces further out from the whole kobani region. so there is still a risk as a u.s. central command is saying kobani might fall but with the attention on this town now there seems to have been a policy change somewhere in the u.s. particularly that says, okay, we are going to put some real effort now into trying to maintain and keep kobani in syrian, kurdish hands. >> many thanks on the turkey/syria border across from kobani and now we go to yemen where houthi rebels made advances and they seized the town on rada on friday and we will go live to the capitol and we are there and omar you have to explain the significance of

this battle for or rather this central town and i understand houthis had taken on friday and a number of houthis have been killed by al-qaeda fighters who are trying to retake that town. >> reporter: yes, the fighting is ranging in that town. it is al-qaeda stronghold. it was dating briefly by houthis before al-qaeda fighters came out in the last few days. we are witnessing today is an increased fighting. we understand that there are a number of houthis still locating on the mountain. they are taking their position in a castle bombing and fighting left at least 25 people killed. we understand the town of fada is witnessing two ranging fronts, one between houthis and al-qaeda and the other one and that is significant is that tribal leaders from that area

and wider providence of albeda are seeing houthi advance of somewhat of a tribal game and tribal criss-crossing getting their territory and that is why they are gathering their force to fight the houthis off and i think it will develop and increase in the coming hours and days. >> you have the houthi who are there fighting and the tribal fighters and al-qaeda allied in any way and are the three groups fighting each other? >> reporter: yes, they are fighting, two of them. the al-qaeda and houthis on the one hand and you have the tribal connection. when it comes to the tribal connection between with al-qaeda it's very complicated because within every tribe there is a split, some backing al-qaeda and others proposing them. so it's a very complicated

picture, but now what is new and developing is that the anti-houthi sentiment in that area and other areas is growing. and it is taking perhaps for the first time in the history or in resent history in yemen a sectarian nature. so we are perhaps witnessing a start of a sectarian wider sectarian war. >> many thanks indeed and omar making sense of the chaos in yemen from the capitol, senar. ♪ within the past few minutes nigeria officially declared ebola free by the world health organization. let's get more on that now from berlin where more than a thousand health experts are meeting right now to discuss ways to stop the spread of the ebola virus and says the eu needs to act more quickly and effectively to fight the disease and we have the managing

directors of doctors without borders in germany and live from the conference, what is the significant of this declaration from the world health organization that nigeria is now ebola free? >> well, that is obviously a very good sign and it shows that nigeria obviously managed to take the right measures that it needed to take to contain the epidem epidemic. >> the world health organizations issuing dire warnings about the spread of ebola, painting a very bleak picture just days ago and then we have countries like nigeria and senegal who are obviously winning the battle. have we turned the corner now with the fight against ebola? >> reporter: no, we are far from turning the corner and nigeria and senagal and liberia and new guinea and sierra leone 9,000 and probably doesn't take into all the cases that have not been

reported. this crisis is still escalating. the international response to it is still insufficient. a lot more needs to be done. and today here at this world health summit in berlin was a good opportunity to pass that message to states. >> i'm going to ask you sir if you would stay with us just a few minutes because i want to show anyone watching now a report that we have got from our correspondent in nigeria looking at the impact that the virus has had there. >> reporter: she became a nurse because she wanted to help people. but the last person she tried to save had ebola and she became infected. she was 30 years old and pregnant with her first child. her husband is sad she is dead. >> this was not in our plans.

and so many things we wanted to do together. i feel lost. i feel left alone. >> reporter: the man who infected her came to nigeria on a commercial flight from liberia in july. he collapsed at the airport in legos and was taken to the hospital where she worked. he was nigeria's first ebola case in the current epidemic, the index patient. government officials say eight people died from ebola and most of them health workers and measures were put in place by the government to try and contain the virus such as screening at border posts and airports. it's a process everyone has to go through and the machine takes your temperature and if it's 38 or higher the machine will beep and they will ask you which countries you traveled to recently. the world health organization says the country can be declared free of ebola after six weeks without any new cases and that

is twice as long as the incubation period for the disease. there is relief and excitement in nigeria. some of the health workers traced potential patients and daily follow-up visits. it's good news but nigeria officials are warning people to still be cautious even though the president already announced that the country is ebola free. >> it's not over until it's over and mean it whats to be over in liberia and new guinea and, in fact, anywhere before we can be relaxed. >> reporter: this certificate issued by the government says dennis is ebola free. it's an achievement that he is not yet ready to celebrate and he says it won't bring back his wif wife. >> reporter: let's go back to the managing directors on the frontier in germany. so eight people tragically died in nigeria of ebola, compare

that to neighboring states as you said, it's good news as far as nigeria is concerned to be ebola free but no reason for being come -- complacent. >> reporter: we are about to release the 1,000 patient being cured from ebola and this disease doesn't mean automatic death symptoms if the people are brought into treatment quickly and obviously requires that the treatment facilities are there and in that response by the international community still falling drastically short. we had a lot of good plans but on the ground very few of those have actually been translated into practical steps. >> you are at a symposium in berlin attended by a lot of healthcare professionals and experts from around the world. what was discussed?

>> reporter: well, the discussion really focused around different aspects of ebola and fortunately we had a couple of resent statements from the field describing and highlighting the suffering the countries were going through and the wider impact of this, epidemic beyond the immediate patients and that is good and discussion about how can we do better with future ebola and those are important too but let's not forget we have a duty to deal with this, epidemic. >> director of the frontier in germany and let's bring in al jazeera holly who is with us now from abuja and you saw her report a few minutes ago from legos and as we were hearing from them a moment or two ago this is good news for nigeria but it's still going to be on its guard and no room for

complacency here. doesn't look like she can hear me, does it? sometimes when you're talking to someone over a satellite it takes a few seconds for my voice to get to the other end and we wait and other times you realize the person at the other end has not heard you at all and we will come back in a few minutes and still to come here on this news hour. >> reporter: i'm in india where researchers believe as many as 6 million people a year are being infected with dengue fever. >> a swedish under siege search of activity and providing memories of the cold war and manning has a record milestone and joe will be here a little later in the show with all the details in sport. ♪

japan's prime minister told the nation he deeply apologizes for making bad choices for his cabinet and accepted the resignation of his justice minister just hours afraid minister yoko resigned. both women resigned over allegations they misused election funds and let's get a view from this from tokyo and thanks for being with us. how much of an embarrassment is this for the prime minister? >> reporter: well, in many ways it's the first major stumble of the second administration. he has had a remarkable run since he came into power the second time in december 2012 and for the first time you can see some political oxygen being given to the opposition parties which they have not had for a long time. >> one tends to think, i tend to think and perhaps naive of

japanese politics of being fairly graph free. is it as clean as i think and if it isn't how demic is the problem? >> reporter: well, your impression i think is correct. i don't think that even though we are seeing two ministers step down over campaign finance scandals today, it isn't so much a reflection of the fact that japanese politics is deeply corrupt, it's a reflection that the scrap needs public is completely allergic to any hints of corruption and both ministers themselves may not have actually done much wrong. it may have been people in the offices making mistakes but taking responsibility as the japanese public expects them to do. >> and how much damage is this going to do him bearing in mind there are not elections, he doesn't have to face an election

in japan until what 2017? >> reporter: yes, 2016. well, it will do some damage to him mainly because he is having trouble on other fronts. the basis of his popularity is his ergo no, ma'amics program and the japanese public believes he is the best manager for the japanese economy at this time. and on the economic front looking forward it looks like he will have many problems so i think we are going to see a decline in his popularity and it's probably going to stay lower. but on the other hand the opposition parties are in such pathetic shape he is not in too much trouble there. >> thank you michael the president of the news agency in tokyo. hong kong's chief executive cy-lung accused external forces being involved in the skron going protest there but refused

to name the countries he thinks are to blame and in the fourth week as the political deadlock continues and activists want free and fair elections in the territory. indonesia has a new president who was sworn into office in a ceremony in the capitol dak arta and narrowly won the election as a political outsider and hoping he can push through reforms on the world's third largest democracy and we have more. >> reporter: the people's president and the people are throwing him a large party and people all over indonesia and chinese are all celebrating together on this day of the integration of the 7th president of the republican of indonesia and this is the ceremony and we need to build this nation together. there is no possibility we stay

verded forever and it has been a tough time n the last couple of months the political situation in indonesia the situation is divided and this is the first of unification and the celebration will be big and tomorrow the hard work will start. nasty weather effecting nicaragua and let's get details from richard. >> reporter: more on a score of people lost their lives as a result of torrential rain which effected nicaragua over the last few days and nasty and heavy rain all the way up here as you can see on the satellite there up through and toward mexico. the situation really this time of the year is often pretty bad. looking at the climate you can see there we see 400 millimeters in the month of september and drops slightly through october. it's not just there because we

had heavy rain and torrential rain effecting parts of mexico and the gulf of mexico region over the last 24 hours and that is the result of the tropical storm trudy which set up circulation across the region. certainly the southern state guaro we seen nasty flooding here and evaluation centers set up and five people have lost their lives as a result of landslides. looking at the forecast across the region you can see a great sway of rain extending from panama and costa-rico and mexico attacked on both coasts by rain and more effecting it in the coming days. >> richard many thanks and breaking news from the world health organization, in the past few minutes nigeria officially declared ebola free and we are joined from abuja and looking at a report a little while ago and great news here but no room for

complacency here. >> reporter: exactly, government firms giving a press conference and saying, yes, it's good news but people should be cautious. the average nigerian relieved and weeks of washing your hands and watching what you speak to and touch and should you hug this person or not this person and people have been quite scared and in the person we spoke to earlier from legos said the neighbors were scared of him in the beginning and he lost his job and fired because afraid he would spread ebola and it's good news nigeria is declared ebola free and they are basically trying to make sure it stays ebola free and how to deal with the stigma and people are taught those people who survive ebola may not be as contagious as they were perhaps and it's okay to talk to them and okay to be friends with them. the government is trying to push that message across. and official has been contained

the virus and celebrating but be cautious. >> nigeria at the hub there in west africa and surrounded by countries that are badly effected by the virus. it can't afford to let its guard down. >> reporter: exactly it can't. basically the big hub in western africa and big airports like legos and more than two million people live in legos and airplanes and buses and people coming in and out so there is a big chance the virus could be brought back in the country and that is why at airport it's stringent and when you come in your temperature is checked. if you are in any way suspicious they will take you aside and ask you question and if you look ill you are taken to hospital and isolated and they are not taking chances whatsoever. if you are excused to be check they will make an example of you and basically tell you that it's against the law to refuse to be checked, you need to be checked, you could be a threat to people

in nigeria. so officials are not taking any chances and making sure that every precaution is taking and saying nigeria go out and celebrate but please be careful and wash your hands and watch where you go and if someone is ill report them to officials and do not be complacent. >> reporting live from abuja. now scientists and policy makers from around the world are meeting in australia right now to try to stop over fishing in antarctica and want to create two of the largest marine reserves in the world but there are fears that geo politics may get in the way as our environment and nick clark explains. >> life in the southern nation is abundant, far from human populations an environment that allows thousands of species to flowerish and this is repleni

replenished by the water of antarctica, it's a living, breathing driver of life on earth. >> antarctica is a huge reservoir of ice and freshwater and the cold water that drains off antarctica drives the circulation system throughout the entire planet and like the hat of the entire area. >> reporter: thing is you guessed it change is happening, fishing boats are hauling out vast quantities of krill, the food that fuels the eco system and other fish targeted too like the abountarctica tooth fish an it's sold as sea bass in restaurants and so lucrative it's known as white gold. the resent film, the last ocean documented the story. >> this is the most popular size. >> there is no value about taking the tooth fish out and

serving up on a platter on most expensive restaurants in north america. >> they are sending it here and we are eating it. >> reporter: delegates from 24 countries and eu are trying to get the sea and antarctica designated as marine protection areas and fishing would be banned at large sways of oceans. >> and east antarctica is very important. the ross sea is one of the most intact marine systems on the planet and think we have a chance now to keep it that way. >> reporter: now they factor in foreign policy in the world of conversation and in the past russia is among those to foil the proposal and this year given increasing tensions with the west will be no different. but compromises have been made on the size of the mpas and with the growing movement for the

preservation of this unique environment. >> essentially you are destroying an eco system. >> we have a chance to protect it or lose it forever. >> reporter: scientists hope that conversation may prevail, nick clark, al jazeera. midway point on this news hour and still to come on the program. >> i knew in an instant i wanted to farm. announcer: taking to life in the fields, the changing face of farming in canada plus. >> i'm adam in mexico, for years the beauty of this colonial gem of a city was over shadowed by news of drug violence, despite that we will tell you why it's worth a visit. >> reporter: quick-scoring rangers in nhl and details coming up, with joe in sport. we will be right back. ♪

♪ hello again and i'm in doha and nigeria declared ebola free and the world health organization made the call because six weeks past with no new cases of the virus, eight people though have died from ebola in nigeria. japan's prime minister accepted the resignation of the justice minister just hours after the trade minister yoko resigned, both women stepped down of allegations they misused election funds and turkey agreed to allow kurdish fighters from iraq to travel across the territory to join syria and

defending the syrian town of kobani resupplied with weapons and ammunition by the u.s. airforce and we will get a view on that and joined now by the opinion editor for the news in istanbul and president obama spoke with the turkey president over the weekend, oh, how i would love to have heard that conversation. what do you think the president told the president of turkey? do you think he asked for his permission to drop these supplies over border kobani and told him he was going to do it? >> reporter: it's a $60 billion question, which i'm not sure whether i should definitely answer by saying he asked for permission or said he will go ahead. probably it's between the two. probably obama said that there was a necessity of probably dropping these arms and

ammunition at the u.s. and turkey western allies are expecting turkey's understanding on the situation because it's known and it's very resent that the turkish president was, you know, again quoted in the weekend saying that turkey's position as far as u.s. supplying arms and ammunition to syrian kurds wouldn't be very positive and u.s. shouldn't expect turkey to say yes. probably without saying yes turkey had to turn maybe a blind eye to what is going on. >> okay, how does turkey feel about the u.s. policy in the region at the moment, does it feel somewhat boxed in? >> well, there is a turkish resentment as far as u.s. is concerned because there has been a bloody war for the past three years and allegations of using chemical weapons and turkey doesn't feel the world has done much where for a city which

probably few knew until two months ago there is this huge outcry as far as the kurds fighting and are concerned. turkey feels that there is also a mistaken approach to the situation. in the eyes of turkey isil is a threat and it needs to be tackled but it sees it as a mosquito which comes around of the swamp and the swamp is assad and they want to see a larger action of the u.s. to dry out the swamp which in the eyes of turkey is the regime of bashar al-assad. >> they will let it to go across the territory so they can fight in kobani but not doing the same

for the pkk? >> reporter: there is a problem because turkey sees isil as an important thread because this is an organization which held turkish citizens hostages. on the other side there is another force on the ground fighting isil, but in the eyes of turkey syrian/kurdish fighters are the same as the pkk which is a terror organization and not just in the eyes of turkey but pkk is considered a terrorist organization by the u.s. and european union as well. so obviously there is an impasse as far as turkey is concerned. it seems that isil is a threat but in order for the threat of isil being managed you need to support the py and the syrian and kurds and turkey asked the questions, well, if there is arms and ammunition going to pyd will that end up in the hands of

the pkk which turkey has been fighting a war for the past 30 years. but one has to add also the fact that turkey is also holding and directing direct talks with pkk in order to find the solution with the kurdish issue. >> good to talk to you and thanks and this is from the daily news in istanbul. in libya supreme court set to rule on legitimacy of one of two rival parliaments. the country faced a political power vacuum since former leader moammar gadhafi was killed exactly three years ago and militia battling for the eastern city of benghazi and towns in western libya and now from al jazee jazeera. >> reporter: this mosque is one of the few remaining buildings still functional in the western mountains region and battered homes and streets tell what happened here and many residents of the towns have left after the heaviest fighting since the fall

of the gadhafi regime in 2011 but some had no where else to go. >> translator: the house was hit by a grand rocket that detonated causing serious damage and terrorized my family and damaged two cars, mine and a friends. this is true terror. it's unprecedented. >> reporter: dozens have been killed here in the last ten days. and the groups and forces loyal to the general are trying to take control of the western mountains. the opposition fighters are backed by the dawn of libya and alliance of conservative malitias. these men are waiting for reenforcement and until they arrive making improvised rocket launchers from all rockets and say they have stopped the advance of tribesmen and troops with limited weapons >> show us with tank shells and mortar and hitting civ yeahens

in hospitals and, yes, with are the dawn of libya. >> reporter: as the fighting rages on supplies are running low. the u.n. want an end to the violence and humanitarian aid has gone unheard and deadlock continues with two parliaments and no government. this is supported by dawn of libya fighters appears to have an upper hand at the moment but not recognized by powers and the house of representatives influence is limited to the eastern city but has international recognition and regional backing. besides the western mountains more fighting in benghazi and more troops have joined the forces and libya dawn coalition say her and his men are representing parts of the old regime. the fighters seem confident they will win the battle but the war

they are fighting appears to have no real end in sight. i'm with al jazeera. human rights watch estimates that 132 students in egypt have been arrested since the academic year began a week ago, on cairo university they chanted slogans with the government and confront body i police and demanding the return of fellow students who were expelled for taking part in an earlier rally. al jazeera continues to demand the immediate release of its journalists in egypt, peter greste and fahmy and mohamed have been in prison and they are appealing their convictions. a new study suggests the number of dengue patients has been massively under estimated in india, researchers believe there could be as many as six million cases in the country each year, that is almost 300 times higher

than official reports. and we report from new deli. fighting death for two weeks, his family says he suddenly fell sick with severe stomach pain and a fever of 104 degrees. >> translator: there was a rash all over his body and his fever wouldn't break. his head hurt and his whole body was in pain. he even felt pain behind his eyes. >> reporter: the 11-year-old school boy has been diagnosed with a severe strain of dengue fever and one of around 20,000 cases officially reported in india annually but a new study by american and indian researchers indicates that as many as six million people are infected by the mosquito-born illness each year and the cases are not being reported. this fever has what is called a

notifiable illness since 996 and this means that doctors are required by law to report new cases to the government, public hospitals like this one has the information but researchers say many in the private sector do not. >> transmission issues. >> reporter: it's crucial that doctors report suspected cases of the potentially deadly illness. >> looking at the indian map and where cases are reported there are a lot of blank or blind areas and no reporting of cases which is highly unlikely. because it occurred in every part of the country. >> reporter: researchers say india is believed to have the highest number of dengue cases in the world. every year the government takes measures to stop the spread of the disease-carrying mosquitos but doctor say the poor reporting system is failing

policy makers. >> if you use the disproportion with serious illness and hospitalization and they make the policies. >> reporter: dengue already costs the country more than $1 billion each year in medical and other expenses, with better reporting researchers hope to reduce both the human and the economic toll. i'm with al jazeera, new deli. >> reporter: families of 43 students missing in southern mexico are holding out for safe return and they traveled to mexico city to pray at the bascilica and were taken away by police and drug gang and several have failed to find them. in nicaragua many thousands of people made homeless but weeks of torrential rain when a row collapsed on houses as dominick

cain reports. >> reporter: the rains have gone for a moment but the damage they brought remains, the mud the machines are clearing conceals the buried houses of some families. torrential rains fell on ni nicaragua last week and weakening structures in the capitol city and on thursday night this wall collapsed. rescuers worked in the early hours to save those buried, sometimes too late for those they found. but seven people were pulled out from the rubble alive. the government had evacuated this area five years ago during another period of heavy rainfall but some people did return. one of the survivors explained why he came back. >> translator: we are here not because we want to run the risk of dying but by necessity because i don't earn enough to buy land. if we could we would be elsewhere so here we are and now

the land has been filled with water and shaking from earthquakes, this place can collapse any time. >> nicaragua is prone to torrential rainfall and earthquake, the government's response is usually to evacuate at-risk areas. but many of those we housed complain about where they are placed, often far from where they work and big towns and cities. following thursday's events 117 families have been moved to temporary accommodation, dominick cain, al jazeera. pilots at germany's biggest airline are on strike over retirement benefits and it effects the short and long flights and could disrupt travel plans for more than 200,000 people and the strike will be extended to long-haul flights on tuesday. the search is still on in sweden for evidence of foreign under water activity in its territorial waters and the sweep

was prompted by reports of a possible russian submarine intrusion and catherine reports. >> reporter: it's an under water search reviving memories of the cold war, more than 200 swedish military personnel is trying to locate what is thought to be a disabled submarine in stockholm. >> translator: it could be a submarine or a small submarine or a diver using some form of moped under water vehicle or divers that don't have any business in our territory and this is span of the under water activity. >> reporter: russian spokesperson denied the reports claiming none of the submarines ran into mechanical problems and current missions are going as planned. this type of alert is not new for sweden, in 80s vessels entered the waters near a naval air base, one incident led to

11-day diplomatic standoff and this comes at a time with increased tension with russia and nordic states over the crisis in ukraine and last week they accused the russian navy of interfering with a research vessel in international waters and last month two russian fighter planes were reportedly in the air space. >> reporter: developing story this hour turkey agreeing to allow kurdish fighters from iraq persmerger fighters to go across the territory and we are south of kurkook in iraq and what is the response to this news from the kurdish fighters that you have been speaking to? >> reporter: well, as of yet we have not been able to get any official confirmation from tomorrow kurdistan if they can

put some forces in kobani or an agreement has been reached. we have to remember a few weeks ago the president of the kurdish region of iraq said he wouldn't be willing to send fighters. we all know the pershmerga are stretched thin this iraq and fighting and share a one thousand kilometer line and we have spoke to the pyd head and backing isil in kobani. according to him these reports are just media reports and that he doesn't believe turkey will have another force across the territory to reach kobani because there is no other way to reach them and the spokesmen say we have enough fighters and we need weapons and we don't want men on the ground we want

ammunition and know pyd have been in iraq with other kurdish factions and pyd have been under a lot of pressure and want this group to share power with other groups in northeastern syria in the syrian territory and putting this as a condition for weapons to start pouring in. so this could be part of an ongoing negotiating process. at the end of the day we still have confirmation if they have enough forces to send to kobani because they are putting pressure on pyd telling them you are not getting weapons through the border, the turkish border unless you share power with other kurdish factions by the end of the day and ally to turkey. >> thanks for that and in kurkook and sorry about the poor quality phone line but it was worth hearing what she had to
