has been identified. ♪ welcome to the program fighters opposed to the syrian government say they have taken several villages south of aleppo city and the province that borders turkey has been a key battleground for three years and has more from the turkish-syrian border. >> reporter: syrian rebels on the offensive, marred by divisions and short of weapons they are advancing on the city of aleppo. many factions have established a joint command center. this video appears to show them attacking government military posts in southern aleppo. the armed group el nusra front taking part in offensive and fighters played a significant role in the push to capture the

village and syrian rebels say government forces are backed by thousands of fighters from iran, iraq and hezbollah. >> syrian army is to cut the highways, you know, not to take over aleppo, aleppo as a city i think has been divided and they have to go to the eastern side. >> reporter: behind these mountains is another major front line, government troops have been shelling these peaks which were recently captured by turkmen fighters, it overlooks the city of latakia and one over president's bashar al-assad strongholds and backed by russian planes are trying to secure the area. and as the fighting continues near the border with turkey there are growing fears of regional conflict. the russians and iran are staunch allies of president

assad while the turks western and gulf nations insist the syrian president must go. believe the russians used this of the chances of staying in power and i.s.i.l. can only be defeated if president assad steps aside, al jazeera, on turkish border with syria. iranian media reporting today a brigadier general with the revolutionary guard killed in fighting near aleppo and he commanded it and dozens of fighters and guard commanders have already been killed in syria. since the russian intervention the guard has expanded its role in support of president assad's forces. turkish president erdogan has been speaking about the on going battle against i.s.i.l. >> translator: no differences between the apg, assad and i.s.i.l. terrorist organizations

and they commit crimes against humanity and let no one deceive anyone. we went to syria because they invited us. if someone kills 380,000 people and someone kills its own people are you obliged to accept their invitation. >> reporter: we are live in istanbul and given what mr. erdogan has been saying in the last couple of hours was there anything new in there? >> i mean in terms of no but it's a reiteration and it is significant that erdogan continues to under line this message because in this broad coalition of countries who claim to be combatting i.s.i.s., it is yet another example that they do not see eye to eye on everything so for example the kurdish fighters that are fighting i.s.i.s. and some parts of syria are supported by washington and russians who claim to be attacking i.s.i.s. actually support the assad regime and

what erdogan is saying actually both the assad regime as well as kurdish fighters are just as bad as assad regime and puts a lot of the blame for the blood shed that is unfolding continually on a daily basis in syria at the doorstep of the assad regime because twier to the crack down of assad's army of the people and killing of 300,000 syrian people there was no i.s.i.s., there was no i.s.i.l. and for erdogan or from erdogan's perspective, yes, the countries or the international community has to deal with i.s.i.l. but they also have to deal with what he believes to be the cause of this and that is firmly in his point of view the assad regime. >> in that very same speech mr. erdogan is close to the border of syria and turkey and let's listen to what he has to say. >> translator: the incident truly saddens us and never would have wanted this to happen,

however, it is not possible for us to treat such violations as weeded from guests because guests only go to a place when they are invited and we truly hope this is not repeated, we are never on the side of pain and suffering in the region and all the world that we seek is peace, security and pros party. >> so jamal that was not actually an apology but does it take them closer to a sit-down meeting, the turkish government talking to vladimir putin as they sit around the table on monday in paris for that climate summit? >> well, that would appear that for the intention of erdogan he has actually said in the same speech he has submitted or he has reached out to the kremlin to try and arrange a bilateral meeting during that climate change summit in paris. it's important to note that shortly after the downing of that jet according to both the kremlin and the turkish presidency erdogan did attempt

to set up a phone call with putin but that was rejected or turned down, rather by putin obviously still very angered at that incident. erdogan again is just going on with the same point of view he has been trying to articulate since the downing of that jet last tuesday which is that number one turkey was unaware of the identity of the jet and did not target it because it was russian and it targeted it because it was unidentified aircraft in the space and turkey doesn't want to escalate the situation but it was acting as far as it is concerned as self-defense and number three that there needs to be some sort of communication between turkey and russia because although they don't see eye to eye on syria they do share a lot of common or mutual interests particularly economic and business ones so he is continuing in that, obviously the kremlin saying that nothing

short of an apology from turkey will help mend the situation but doesn't seem like an apology will be made at least in the public. >> let's go now to talk about president erdogan's apparent effort to reach out to the russians and director of the middle east program at the wilson center in washington d.c. and is the mute music here now lifting and sounding sweet enough so two men can have a face-to-face conversation about the downing of that jet? >> well, it depends of course whether or not vladimir putin wants to talk to president erdogan and i think i don't know the answer to that. i think putin may want to kind of make sure that erdogan pays a really big price for this so this is clearly a case where erdogan over reached and it was a mistake to shoot down the airplane and initially after the

shooting down erdogan was very bombastic about it and said we will do it again so on and so forth but as putin had pressure on erdogan that the turks are now realizing this was a huge mistake and i think everyone realizes it was a big mistake and a plane was shot down in syria three years ago and erdogan said at the time in violation of the air space is no reason to attack and now he did the exact same thing for the 17-second violation. so the russians are understandably up set but i actually think that even turkey's nato allies are up set because this has given putin the excuse to bring a huge amount of military equipment into the region including s 400, very sophisticated missiles and this is going to make american and allied bombing aids over syria much more difficult because they have to worry about this very

sophisticated system, even if they have no intentions of shooting down american airplanes and offices, generals are cautious when it comes to these things so all along this has been a terrible mistake on the part of erdogan, completely unnecessary one and now he is paying the price for it. and putin is probably enjoying this and he is going to make sure erdogan really pay as price especially because erdogan and putin are on opposite sides of the assad crisis and syrian crisis and so i can see putin almost and can visualize him kind of snubbing on cameras erdogan just to make it look and make erdogan even more humiliated if you want. >> will mr. putin want to go further than he has gone so far? there is talk this week of economic sanctions. >> he has already introduced a

series of economic sanctions and telling tourists not to go to turkey and look 4 1/2 million tourists from russia went to turkey every year and even though the russians don't spend as much money as europeans do nonetheless this is a large number of tourists and a number of foreign exchange in turkey and he also is eliminating visa travel and kicking out turkish businessmen who came to russia with tourist visas. he is doing all this and has a limit to what he can do. they are not going to touch this between the two countries. turkey gets 60% of gas from russia and this is not a case where russia can turn off the gas because russia needs the money that turkey pays for the gas and turkey can't do without the gas. so there are natural limits if

you want to the economic sanctions. and also i think putin has to be careful not to push the envelope too far because that will back fire on him too. a certain amount of sanctions will be accepted and damage to russia may not be that significant but beyond that he should not do what he did when he posed sanctions on europe and destroyed europeans up and pushed the prices up in russia for basic food stuff. so that is another limit he has. and, thirdly, he should not look very vengeful and enough to punish turkey but not beyond that and you don't know where he will standard and we are talking about to confronting each other and to the large extent the outcome of this depends on specific calculations and not necessarily the interests of

turkey and the interests of russia. i think this is driven by two leaders who are very powerful and have a great deal of domestic support and think they can get away with a lot. >> is part of the problem the narrative where you are in washington and could it be this, that there has been assumption on the part of the u.s. led coalition or the united states one should say that there were two main strands to this. issue one you have a second-term president who doesn't want to get involved beyond the involvement they already established and not least because they don't have any vested interests here and not see a rerun of what we saw way back in 1991 and even 2003 so that is an issue. so folding that together with this relationship, this bad relationship now between moscow and ankara makes it doubly worse. >> yes, absolutely. now there is an interesting twist to this, after paris, after the events in parry --

paris you saw the mobilization in the world of what can be done about i.s.i.s. and to some extent this has allowed the event, the shooting down has allowed russia to essentially move away from the consensus and if russians want to take revenge on the turks they can deepen their relationship the americans and the europeans and kind of try to isolate turkey in that although it's difficult to do it but to some extent show that what the turks have done is not going to effect their policy but it is true that the united states this is a complication and the united states already as you said does not want to get too involved in this and doing what it does a lot by bombing, by coordinating with the kurds and coordinating with other forces, by training the moderate rebels and so on and so forth so i think it's doing a lot. what this crisis creates is

another level of complication that now you have to mediate between the russians and the turks and need to figure out ways this doesn't escalate, you need to bring back the russians and the turks to the table and of course the consequences of as i mentioned earlier of all this military equipment that is flowing in from russia into syria which modern making and assad is safe will make life much more difficult for alliance and for the u.s. it's a huge complication and creating a crisis that was completely unnecessary and it just plays of washington is that why should we get involved in a crisis where we have so many different actors and they can't seem to play by any rules whatsoever and cannot think strategically. >> all right, thank you. >> thank you. the gunman killed a

possibly referring to some of the conflicts that uganda has been involved in and also the conflict in somalia between the group el shabab and the u.n. peace keeping forces which is the main provider of troops and terrorist attacks here in 2010 during the world cup final there, el shabab armed group set off two bombs and have not been any since then but a conflict going on between uganda military and that armed group. and also said people should become mich missionaries and nothing as striking as in kenya where he came out very strongly against corruption and inequality. >> uganda has a population of 40% of being catholic, has he talked directly to any of the big issues they want to discuss and heard what they want to hear? >> well, the people we spoke to said they were hoping for

blessings and people were very excited just to see him. when he passed here a few hours ago on the other side of a metal barricade there there was a crowd of ten deep and ocean of arms waving in the air and camera phones and people trying to take a picture and in some cases before he started speaking some people left because they wanted to get a picture and wanted to see the man passing and didn't want to stay and hear the message. many did stay. it was a fairly short speech here but a lot of the people we have spoken to were hoping for blessings and good luck and people brought small children and hoping it will help the small child if they get to see the pope and help them with the future of the rest of their life and have spoken to people here today that are not catholic and interested and christians and denominations and just curious and want to see this very influential figure and rare visit from an influential visit in campala.

thank you, the leader of the orthodox church is in israel in the first visit in decades and the pope has been attending a bishop's funeral there and predecessor banned egypt cops from travelling to israel at the occupation of east jerusalem and stephanie decker is in east jerusalem with the latest. >> reporter: the coptic church says this is not an official visit but an extraordinary visit and human visit because the two men were friends and pope the second was a personal friend of the archbishop and went to university together and the position he held, the head of the coptic church in the holy land and passed on wednesday and this is why he is here paying respects and leading the funeral and the church says he will not be visiting any official, any religious places here and finishing the funeral and will be returning to egypt because they know the sensitivity of this issue. so certainly that is the message they say it has not changed not from the late pope when he said

1979 when israel and egypt signed those peace accords that that cops and muslims should be entering jerusalem together and say that is still the case and they do not want this to be seen as a change in policy. again, an extraordinary visit and once this is done we will be returning to egypt. gunmen attacked a u.n. base in northern mali killing two peace keepers from guinea and a civilian and u.s. civilian says mortar shells were used to attack the town and in 2012 they were taken over by rebels and al-qaeda linked fighters and a military operation drove them out and violence continued and they have 850 soldiers serving in mali and we spoke to the spokesperson and deputy director of communications at the u.n. peace keeping mission in mali and says attack is the attempt to end this and signed with separatist fighters in june.
