with turkey. rory challands, al jazeera, moscow. >> a russia is used of using airstrikes against isil as cover to attack a range of different rebel groups in northern syria. for instance russian air strikes have displaced many turkmen who are opposed to the syrian regime. more than 1,700 of them have fled to the turkish border. and in another part of a province, opposition fighters are preparing to target a russian air base in response spoon to those attacks video published online shows rebels apparently getting ready to fire at the base. some of the russian air raids have been hitting isil's main strong hold. syrian opposition groups say eight people were killed in rock araqqa including five children. this is video leased by an isil affiliated group which is said to ho the aftermath of the bombings. so who are the turkmen of syria? the turkmen are ethnic turks,

they have lived across syria, iraq, and iran for hundreds of years, they are mainly concentrate ed in the north in the turkmen mountain area close to the turkish border. now it's thought that there are between half a million and 3.5 million turkmen living in syria. the turkmen were among the first to take up arms against the syrian government. turkey has lent its support to rebels seeking to topple president bashar al-assad. okay, we can talk now to our correspondent hasheem who is just in the area there southern turkey. so the spotlight has fallen on the turkmen of syria, hashem as a consequence of the downing of this russian jet. how can we sigh that they fit in to this mere yak of opposition forces that are working against the government of president am m

al-assad? >> reporter: martin, the mountains that you might see behind me, i think there is nil mist covering the area, is exactly where there has been some constant shelling on tur turkmen fighterrers over the last few hours, the shelling is artillery shelling from military bases i controlled by the syrian government and where there is a russian presence, the reason they are pounding the mountains you see behind me is because the turkmen have been launching an offensive over the last 48 hours to control some of the strategic peaks. because of the intensifies artillery and the airstrikes, the rebels take over those areas and then they retreat and then they launch an offensive. the fighting has been going on for quite sometime.

the rebels are launching an offensively in los angeles tack i can't and also in a hleb owe and saying that they will -- they are going to step up their their military campaign until though take that area. the turkmen have been instrumental in the areas behind me particularly, very active in 2011. they control many areas and say they are they are part of the rebellion to get out assad. this is one of -- this is what one of the turkmen had to say. >> we are loyal to the lands, not the tribe. we have been here for 600 years, and we will stay. our dead bodies are there and our living bodies are there too. >> and so hashem, these are

ethnic turks, what sort of relationship do they enjoy with turkey and the turkish government? >> reporter: turkey says that it has a moral and historical responsibility to provide all sorts of assistance to turkey he ethnic minorities like the turkmen. and the -- this is exactly the line that has been repeatedly highlighted by president erdogan, prime minister and many politicians that turkey is committed to provide assistance to the turkmen. and the reason is that most of the tucks are positioned in areas which are on the border with turkey. and this is turkey's biggest concern when they see the russians mounting, stepping up the campaign, they say that turkey, that russia is attacking the rebels to pave the way or to

prop up bashar al-assad to are you gain the areas it controls and i think this is one of the reasons why the mounting -- the pressure is mounting. unless you have a general consensus between the key players, russia, turkey, the americans, and the regional players, like iran, saudi arabia thaabout how to move forward whe there is a political solution to the crisis in sear yakker the fate of bashar al-assad, we'll just see more escalation on the ground. and the turkmena long with different factions, like the army of [ inaudible ] are saying that it's a matter of life or death. and they are going to continue the fight until bashar al-assad is kicked out of power. >> okay, hashem, in southern turkey, thank you. now, you may remember the syrian boy whose drowning off the coast of turkey triggered an international outcry. now we learn that his family,

global on peel to compassion and sol dirty to be shown against refugees. uganda has one of the fast he have growing populations in the world, many want to have smaller families but for catholics it poses a clem actual malcolm webb has this report from central uganda. >> reporter: many of the women here have recently given birth. then they were referred to this family planning clinic. if they follow previous yep vagues on average they'll each have more than six children. rose already has eight. she's come here because she doesn't want anymore. >> translator: my husband does not have a job. i have no way of earning money, we struggle to afford the basic needs of our children. even a place to live. >> reporter: and so i she and hr shuts have agreed she should undergo stair saying at this clinic run by a charity.

people who come here can get free condoms, pills orin againss the women here are waiting to go in to that room for longer term solutions liar implants or sterilization procedures. about a third of using contraception but the catholic church says all of these methods are wrong. pope francis is seen as progressive on many issues but his position on contraception and that of the catholic church remains controvers controversia. the official teaching is people should only use natural method but failure rights are high. this bishop has been here since the 19 secretary 1970s. and favors natural contra accepts. >> it's much more respectful of, indeed, the life, the gift of life. >> reporter: as always life on the streets of the capital there is a government policy to try to

slow the booming population. experts a increasing access to family planning is crucial, if they doesn't happen they say future generations will be trapped in positive. >> for the population to be producers, they have to be healthy, they have to be skilled and sufficiently em gate. and if the population grows uncontrollable or in an unplanned direct, then those conditions cannot be melt. >> reporter: rose struggled to afford school fees for all of her children, let alone for anymore. but opt to go sterilization was a tough decision. traditionally, people value big families. and she's one of uganda's 14 million agent catholics, she comes in this church in her village every week, she says her faith means a lot to her but she has had to reject what the priests tell thought her about family planning saying the

church won't her help woke cohen with her bills or help her feed anymore mouths. >> it's unlikely the pope will address this what appears to be a disconnect between the teachings of the catholic church and the way people are having to live in uganda, cath licks in cn particular. >> reporter: yes, i think you are right it's unlikely he brings it up, as pope's go, pope francis tends to not preach hard messages on divisive issues and here on his african visits he's been talking a lot about reconciliation about how muslims and christians should talk together. he's unlikely to get anything like a clear message that is going to be addressing a controversial issue like this. they have only spoken in the philippines last year he did indicate that his position is the same as the catholic church, it always has been it's against artificial contraception meg you had. >> one of the other issues is

uganda's anti-moment sexual position. the punitive legislation that's in place in uganda. do you think that the pope is likely to grapple with this issue preaching more tolerance perhaps for the game community? >> reporter: he's likely to talk about tolerance in a general sense, i think it's unlikely he will take this issue head on. the very controversial anti-homosexual law was over turned in constitution the court last year following key threats from donors here to withdraw funding from the government. since then it hasn't been talks about very much here. but there is still a colonial law that stands that says homosexuality is illegal and game rights groups here, they said that they requested the vatican that they could meet with the pope while he's here to talk to him about the persecution, the homophobia that they say they suffer here, we don't foe if they had agreed to that or if that will happen.

but, again, pope francis is unlikely to say anything that will be divisive about this, het because that anti-homosexual law is pop lay, and lots of religious leaders backed it. the catholic church said it would be wrong to give people the death penalty or harsh penalties for home sexuality but some of the evangelical leaders were behind craft this is bill if the first place and they have a lot of support nurse you began at that do. it's up likely the pope whip say anything that would a vinnie eight large groups of people here, as you say he's likely to encourage in tolerance and recognize sale yags. >> okay, for now, malcolm, thank you very much. malcolm web there covering pope francis' trip to uganda today. we have a lot more to come in the programs including ahead of his appeal for help over forest fires indonesia's president speaks exclusively to al jazeera.
