turkey's decision to purchase of russian made missile defense system putin's visit comes as turkey and russia attempt to strengthen their relationship which took a downturn in the shooting of a russian plane over syria turkey and russia have been on opposing sides in the syria conflict but both now backed plans for the creation of deescalation zones let's take you to anchor and speak to al-jazeera as andrew symonds said previously relations between russia and turkey they were pretty dire why have things changed now. well there's been more than a reproach more really the reason is mainly you just pointed out that the both turkey and russia were backing opposing sides in the syrian conflict but has come together with russia and iran for the a start up peace process and turkey is using its influence to move towards peace with its relationship with opposition groups and russia turkey and iran will be

moving into it live with military observers is a lot to be worked out there that will be discussed no doubt about it whatsoever and there's also a number of other issues no doubt about it whatsoever and there's also a number of other issues including the s four hundred missile system it's a russian system and it's been sold to turkey which is a member of nato and that presents a problem not only with with nato not having the compatibility but also in terms of relations with the west they seem to be moving away from the western more towards russia this is what warm analyst made of the situation. putin is in turkey to draw to wage between turkey and the west. that he has drawn in the first place and he's doing this very successfully but it turned in limbo are there are similar current

issues on which turkey and russia and i have common interests and our need to work really close in with you know one of them obviously is the most current one. but also this situation in northern iraq in the aftermath of the referendum tell me. tell us a little bit more about what we're going to be discussing. well of course the syrian war is very much going to be the main issue and possibly turkey is looking towards some sort of concession some sort of payback for its efforts to relate to the opposition groups by possibly getting some leeway in terms of the presence of the syrian kurds particular the y. p.g. and in territory around afternoon right across right opposite to the border of turkey doesn't want the kurdish presence there and it wants russia to help it in that situation furthermore we will see discussions it seems on the iraqi kurds

issue whether or not russia is in agreement with president urged one's assurance that he is considering switching off the oil flow from the kurdistan region russia does have some interests in this commercial interests involved in the investment in the oil and gas industry in the region even though russia has said that it backs the territorial integrity of iraq it hasn't been as outspoken against the referendum as other states so those are the two primary issues that will be on the table felicity and thank you. all turkey has threatened to impose crippling restrictions on oil trading with iraqi kurds after they backed secession from baghdad the iraqi parliament is also urging the government to send troops to take control of oil fields health by kurdish forces kurdish officials say they're not

worried and they can withstand an economic blockade because they are self-sufficient hot abdulhamid reports from just outside avail. coming from iran and turkey. they consider this referendum a threat to their own national security you have to bear in mind that they have a sizable kurdish nation and those two countries while the referendum was happening here they were sort of celebrations or they were even messages of support from those kurdish populations whether from iran or from turkey. actually on the celebrations the night of the referendum itself. who had crossed the border where to come here not to vote but to be part of that. that it was very symbolic for them even if it had no direct rick berke arsenal that they were hoping for that it would be the way for them to also forge ahead with some

sort of maybe autonomy or any kind of sort of self to. the un has condemned air raids that hit five hospitals and two humanitarian warehouses in syria. this week they're calling for a system to be set up for warring sides to protect civilians and medical facilities to fight. tarion advisor on syria said it was not clear who had carried out the attacks but it was part of an escalating trend to talk humanitarian lifeline hospitals and health work as a guilty verdict has been given in the trial of a controversial sunni muslim cleric in lebanon. will be executed for his role in leading a shootout in two thousand and thirteen. lebanese soldiers died along with four supporters and two civilians. right. well in the early days of this case the prosecution in this military tribunal had been pushing

for the death penalty for this year and some of his supporters and that is just what this sentencing is not only has all this year been sentenced to death seven others in connection to this case have also been sentenced to death as well there are a number of kohak used in this trial they have received prison sentences a very in the links but the death penalty here in lebanon itself is controversial the last time capital punishment has been carried out here was in two thousand and four it also requires the signature of the president for an execution to be carried out it also needs to be said. and his coat accused can appeal this sentencing and one would imagine that they will but this case is a very deeply controversial and polarizing case here in lebanon it really put into sharp focus the complexities of the region particularly at the start of the syrian

civil war the violence that we saw inside on where i was syria's from really was one of the earliest and most major spillover of violence of the syrian civil war in the lebanese territory and although he went into hiding shortly after those eighteen lebanese soldiers to lebanese civilians and dozens of his supporters were killed he was ultimately arrested in two thousand and fifteen but again the complexities of this case really puts into sharp focus how many have struggled in particularly in the courts to try to figure out a way forward in the how to prosecute those involved in the kind of violence that we saw then but it's been very clear from this military tribunal that they want to sentence this year and his supporters or at least some of his supporters to death and that's just what they've done. still to come on the private. warning that yemen's cholera crisis is getting. really hard.

and sailing to a land he's never know the cambodian man he's been split his family and for the u.s. because the crime committed as a child. welcome back now across western asia and the levant weather conditions mostly fine you see across some eastern as we have got some shower activity i'm sort of pulling colder air from the north of tosh count there which is thirteen as a maximum elsewhere we've got a few showers in the southern side of the caspian sea you know says kuwait city still stuck with temperatures above forty degrees and that is likely to be the case through the remainder of the next four five days heading on through into saturday again forty three here we've also got some showers are on the eastern side of the

everywhere more than half of all the health facilities are destroyed or only partially working hospitals and clinics that are still standing are overwhelmed especially with infant and elderly cholera patients oxfam says there are more than five and a half thousand cases a day helder is a very easily treatable disease that is very typical in yemen with an active more that's happening it's difficult and. we have about fifty million people in yemen who don't have access to basic and we also have a situation where basic infrastructure and essential services. are fighting in yemen between who the fighters and a coalition of countries led by saudi arabia has killed more than five thousand civilians another three million have been forced from their homes and the most vulnerable to cholera they're weak from hunger and have little money to buy medicine the war is making it difficult for aid agencies to get into yemen oxfam

joins me live now from washington i'm kimberly these talks could be very interesting. certainly in fact it's unusual to see sort of a a lower level state leader meeting directly with the president in the oval office of the white house and i think that just underscores as you point out just how important this relationship is with china and the united states right now in the eyes of the trumpet ministration given the fact that there is a hope that china will continue to use its economic leverage in order to try and de asco late the ongoing sort of war of words that we've been seeing with north korea leader kim jong un as well as president donald trump and while it's always maintained the united states that there is the military option to be exercised the trumpet ministration officials particularly secretary of state james mattis as well as secretary of state rex tillerson saying that the diplomatic option is certainly the preferred option so we've had a series of in diplo speak high level exchanges that have been taking place here

stateside as well as seeing visits such as the commerce secretary wilbur ross in beijing on monday all of this teeing up of course and applauding in the words of the state department spokesperson this week the moves that you talked about just a moment ago the fact that china has ordered its central banks not to do business with north korea something the united states is thanking china for and hoping that it will continue to do in terms of exercising that economic leverage so once again waiting for that arrival by the vice premier to the oval office something we expect to happen within the next hour but how could keeping an eye on those events there in washington thank you. council and authorities say they're working to ensure that a disputed referendum on secession from spain will take place peacefully thousands of university students have marched from barcelona to protest against what they call an intensifying crackdown ahead of sunday's vote they are demanding the right
