>> hello there. i'm felicity bar. this is the news hour live from london. coming up in the next 60 minutes iraq's kurdish leader calls on pkk fighters to withdraw from their positions in the north to protect civilians from turkish airstrikes. talks on what was billed as the biggest trade deal in history ends in dead deadlock. zimbabwe announces it's new restrictions on hunting after

another lion is killed on its game reeverybody. >> and we have more on the robot robotic kitchen this is crab bisque. >> more on the indigenous sportsman who is booed at every match. >> hello turkey says it will investigate reports that civilians were killed in an operation targeting a pkk camp in northern iraq. kurdish authorities have called on pkk fight tours leave their bases in the north of the country to save civilian lives. well the regional kurdish president said that pkk separatists must withdraw to help reduce violence in the area. it accused turkey of bombing civilians.

both the pkk and turkey now need to resume peace talks. al jazeera's report from the turkish city. president obama barzani calling on the pkk to withdraw to save civilians. saying if there were no bases in northern iraq then turkey would not be bombing the area. this raises the question of what will happen on the front lines of isil. pkk has been helping the government. they sent troops to the border to help them hold a 1,000 kilometer front line against isil. it seems that the krg are confident that they can hold the line by themselves. really these two groups are unlikely allies because they have a long history of conflict,

and unlike the pkk the krg enjoys good ties with turkey. it's not only that, turkey is an economic lifeline for the krg. maybe the krg would like to get rid of a force that really could challenge its authority. the official line is we want to avoid northern iraq becoming a battlefield. but the pkk like i said, have been a thorn in their side. across the border in syria opposition groups have taken up arms against each other. there have been infighting, threatening the u.s. programs to train and equip a force to take on the islamic state in iraq and the levant. >> this is thought to be an airstrike carried out by the u.s. to support its allies in syria. it targeted positions of the

al-qaeda linked al nusra front in alone 1930, but it came too late. they had already attacked the base of a new back group and on ducted it's commander and several of its men. it was a message to the u.s. and syrian who is cooperate with it. >> the 30 infantry division is a group trained by the u.s. congress and u.s. trainers in turkey. it's a national army that america is trying to create in syria in order to fight terrorism. as you know america classified al nusra as a terrorist group. the infantry's main goal is to fight isil. >> this knew syrian group received training as part of a program to build a force to fight isil. it appears that they didn't want to be filmed because working with the u.s. can easily create enemies among the syrian

opposition. >> we're ready to coordinate with anyone fighting for the syrian people. i'm announcing this though your channel right now. we will fight isil or anyone supporting them either re,iran or hezbollah. >> but that's not what the u.s. trained and equipped program is about. it is about creating a force to fight isil, not the syrian government. the program has faced many difficulties since it was announceed. after months of delay it was launched in may and the pentagon was planning to train more than 5,000 fighters in a year. but so far it trained 54 in turkey. it wasn't the first time news are a target opposition groups, who have received support from the u.s. it has a movement in the civil revolutionary front was forced

to disband. the actions have been a direct challenge to the u.s. the attack on division 30 is a set back. both news are a and division 30 are enemies of isil, but the u.s. considers news are a a terrorist organization. while it is not a target of the u.s.-led coalition against isil the u.s. has hit the al-qaeda linked group under news are a's protection. news are a feels that it is a target and has taken preemptive measures to protect itself. at the same time it has complicated the coalition's plans to fight isil in syria. southern turkey. >> well, let's talk more about the turkish airstrikes in northern iraq. joining me is the chairman of contemporary middle eastern studies. i guess no real price that turkey is now targeting pkk fighters in the north of iraq? >> no, not at all. to give you a view, an idea of what's happening. turkey has carried out irstrikes

against the pkk and isis in syria. only three attacks against isis and 107 or so against the pkk. what does this tell you? it tells you the strategic priority of turkey. even though turkey has declared a war against isis, the real war is against the pkk. turkey does not distinguish between pkk and isis the priorities are clear. hit hard both the pkk and also prevent the kurdish forces inside syria from establishing autonomous region like the curd stance autonomous region. >> the facts the pkk and the kurdish peshmerga joined forces to fight isil in the north of

iraq and now they're saying we don't want the pkk any more. the fact that they want pkk to go away, does it suggest that the kurdish regional government are confident that they can hold isil at bay? >> i think you're absolutely correct. if you ask plea about the kurdistan region it's really between between a rock and a hard place. >> they're two different groups. >> they're nationalists. at the same time kurdistan the kurdish northern region has really a relationship, a few years ago no one would have expected turkey and northern iraq kurdistan region to develop solid economic and trade relations. this is a strategic economic relationship all trade and president barzani feels that

turkey is very important for him. this is a very come complex situation. he asked the kurdistan party to leave the kurdish region in northern iraq, and he also called on turkey to renew the peace talks with the pkk. that's why he's in a difficult position. >> he is in a very difficult position but he's in an unique position to keep fighting isil in the north of iraq. is it likely that turkey will take note of what he said about peace talks or is it a bit of rhetoric? >> turkey has basically put forward some conditions, the pkk must lay down it's arms. it does not should involve any kind of terrorist acts, and i think that's what turkey wants. the question is as long as the attacks continue both sides are getting attacked. turkey is bombing and the pkk is carrying out individual attacks against turkish forces. that's why the reality is

without an if third force. this is why barzani could play a role. where is the united states in all of this? nowhere to be seen because the reality is the u.s. is focusing mainly on isis, it's priority, and it does not engage pkk or classify pkk as a terrorist organization. also my read something correct i hope so, it has made a major deal with turkey. because turkey has now joined the u.s. alliance against isis, so basically turkey has a freer hand to really go against the pkk as we have seen in the last few days. >> very complex situation. thank you so much for your insight. >> thank you. >> al jazeera has learned the

jordanian government has been supplying syrian communities living long its borders with weapons. it because they are increasingly vulnerable to groups such as isil. >> this is a town in northwestern jordan where most of the country's 25,000 dru citizens live. because of their shared phase and close proximity the cities have had strong links with each other for generations. which is why so many here are worried about the intensifying violence just over the border. the mayor tells us the killing

of 20 druzes in may by news are a andnusra. and. >> we call on jordan, we were promised support now we hope that the druze in this area will be safe. >> they have announced that they will support syrian communities along the board including the druze. while they have not said specifically what that support will be, al jazeera has learned it includes the deliveries of military equipment and weapons. >> the threat to the communities near jordan's border where syria is growing. this video is thought to show rebel groups targeting sites. syria's druze are facing increasing attacks partially because of their briefs, but also for being loyal to bashar

al-assad. >> after it's military began carrying out airstrikes against isil late last year, protecting the border has become a top priority. >> if isil were to capture the area near our border the government sided to provide arms so they can defend themselves and act as a first line of defense. a decision that marks a major shift in policy as jordan finds itself increasingly drawn into the syrian conflict. al jazeera northwestern jordan. >> yemen's vice president has visited directs in aden affected by the war in yemen. he is the most senior official to have been to the city. he is also the prime minister of the exiled government was traveling with several members

of the cabinet. the trip coincided with the world food program delivering aid in aden. we have this exclusive update. >> this is one of the first airlifts to take place since those loyal to the president now aid being delivered and it's unloaded by localities here. behind me to the right now you will see the passenger terminal of the international airport. when we arrived here a few months ago the sign red enter in peace and security. two things that millions of yemenis wished that they had. already an impoverishededs

country now beleaguered by war and in dire need of humanitarian aid. look at the patrol towers. you can see the destruction that has been inflicted in the battle for this strategic city. around we see the armed men those fighters, like i said, loyal to president abd rabbuh mansur hadiabd rabbuh mansur hadi. many are volunteers and never had picked up a gun before. there are special forces that we've seen that we understand belong to the coalition. that has been supporting the government by request of president hadi to request some sort of security here in aden for the government to return with an outlook to hopefully as far as they're concerned not only in aden but the rest of the country. although they are in control of aden international airport the situation is still fluid.

it is still somewhat turbulent. that's why they have come to deliver and it's staying on the ground with enough time to unload the cargo before it takes off because there is shelling and mortar attacks taking place. al jazeera, aiden. >> still to come on the program debris suspected to be from malaysia airlines flight 370 reach experts in france. >> i'm in selma alabama where organizers begin their march to washington, d.c. we'll be telling them why the battle for civil rights is far from over. >> and in brazil one of their star football stars has tested positive for banned substance. we have details in sports. >> well, it was billed as the biggest trade deal in history but it's all come crashing down. as ministers from 12 countries

involved in the trans-pacific partnership failed to agree on the way forward. al jazeera's andrew thomas has been following those talks in maui and reports on what, if anything happens next. >> this was supposed to be the moment to announce the biggest trade deal in history. the summit in hawai'i lasted four days but over all trans-pacific partnership negotiations have been going on for more than five years. the ministers claims of meaningful progress rang hobble. >> this was certainly anticipated to be a make or break summit for these talks. therefore, are you disappointed that you're not able to announce at least a deal in principle? >> there is at the end of the day a limited number of difficult issues that require to be resolved. i'm gratified by the progress that has been made. >> each country hassen own priority.

forj. >> i'm sure you are aware for mexico it's the seventh largest producer in the world and fourth largest exporter. obviously mexico has a deep interest so you can accuse me of putting myself to the front to really push the interest of my country. >> with a deal as complex as tpp deadlock in one area prevented progress in others. productions for specific industries exporting from specific countries were played along side general discussions of common regulations not only for trade but for production. that's where critics were concerned. ministers would concede on environmental standards or labor regulation it is they got their way. but big business would be given more power over consumers. the copyright period for medicines competing with

generics would go on for longer and concerned many saying the world's poorest would not be able to pay the higher costs. >> for us this is a victory. we see australia come to mind standing up and saying we're not going to trade away health this week no matter how hard you lean on us. that makes a big difference for everyone. very glad to see that outcome. >> any principle deal needs to be ratified by national government and u.s. congress before then. without president obama pushing it it could disappear. >> no deal reached here in hawai'i undoubtedly some disappointment on the stage with the ministers. there is no date set yet for further talks. but the ministers say that they will go on. andrew thomas, al jazeera. maui. >> arab's largest economy china was not part of those talks rob

mcbride explains why china will be happy the talks have stalled. >> the satisfaction and glee is almost palpable. in beijing this has been more than trade. it is the significance of the pact fashioned by the united states with their allies on this side of the pacific seeming to stifle the ambitions of the world's second economy in what it is considered it's own backyard. as america struggles with its grand plan china has been busy with its own trade families. as the tpp is further delayed it seems it's very relevance is being brought into question. >> debris that could be from missing malaysian flight 370 has arrived in the french city of

toulouse for testing. it washed up on island reunion in the indian ocean. it brings a breakthrough on a crash that has baffled aviation experts for a year. al jazeera's charles stratford has more from toulouse. >> this is the french ministry of defense establishment where the investigation is taking place. now some of the buildings behind me similar investigations have taken place in recent years where the hub of the european aviation industry here. now it's believed that the focus of this investigation is really going to start to look at what is reported as potentially as a serial number on this piece of debris. the malaysian authorities saying that this offers conclusive proof that it does come from a boeing 777. if this is the case one has to think that it comes from mh 370

because there simply has not been any disasters of that plane over oceans since the plane came into circulation. since the plane started to be flown. we've heard that they're going to try to establish how long the day brie has been in the water. oceanographers are saying it's not unlikely that this piece of day brie may well have floated 4,000 kilometers from the area where it's believed the plane went down to the coast of the island of reunion. whatever happens here there is a lot of hope that this piece of day brie could begin seriously to answer questions for the hundreds if not thousands of friends and families of the victims of mh 370 as to exactly what happened on that night march 8th last year. >> protesters are demanding better treatment for thousands of migrants who tried to get to england from northern france.

jungle. >> a few yards away protesters with an all together different view. they are both opposed to immigration of immigration of any kind. noisy with the usual symbols of english nationalism but an argument that resonates with some. >> we've got you enough here at the moment. we have to concentrate on our people here, our veterans o our homeless. allowing more people in our country will deteriorate our system even more. >> in what many people might see as the front line in this country's struggle with the immigration issue, colorful and noisy those these demonstrators might be, they are both extremes left and right of the political spectrum and it shows you how polarizing this issue has become. >> in this corner of england migration is creating strain.
