fighters is promising a fierce battle against those who entered its territory in syria's italy province. released a statement after the free syrian army the f.s.a. crossed into the area from turkey on saturday is the dominant force in italy brand is made up of several armed factions it includes opposition groups that were pushed into it live after syrian government forces raid took aleppo last december took his soldiers are back in the f.s.a. from the border but they've not yet entered the province. is on the turkey syria border for us this hour what's going on across the border as far as we can tell. p.s. how are we know so funny that the military buildup continues paving the way for what could potentially be one of the biggest military operations to be taken by the turkish military inside syria the free syrian army factions which are going into

a sort of spearhead of this military operation have crossed into syria and these are basically pro turkey factions now the turkish military is conducting surveillance in the area sharing intelligence gathering where they took over where the free syrian army we don't know what is happening now in the buffer zone or the no man's land area which is why after there are a highly border crossing that's where with things that are free so your army is going to launch its offensive to take on the heavier that hey at the heavy the shan which is the most powerful viable opposition group based in there so just to nail this down for a session this is still a deployment as of yet it is not an actual military operation. it is it is a deployment it is a buildup they still underway waitin for the final decision to start the military campaign but as i said we there are little details that we know so far about this

whole operation which is basically of the free syrian army is going to take on the hay at the hague shand they need more reinforcements more backing because on their own is absolutely no way that can take on a at the head of the sham which has thousands of very well trained and very well armed fighters across the province of it led by the turkish president others have made this quietly yesterday that this is going to be a serious military campaign for the turkish government when the campaign starts if it starts is one of the key issues here identifying who the rebels are because i mean historically they've always had this revolving door policy almost when it comes. two arms territory and indeed purse people who pledge allegiance to different factions here. you're right because they had to have. a coalition of different groups led by. which was formerly known

as the north this is a group led by mohammed. the most powerful now rebel commander in. syria the problem for the turkish government for the russians and the iranians is basically a done to apply those who and if the russians decide at a certain stage of this operation to back the free syrian army with the potential for civilian casualties could stoke the ante sentiment and to russian anti turkish sentiment in those areas in which is going to be an extremely delicate operation but that also raises the question of what happens next even if they manage to vector that to. who is going to fill in the void and who's going to take over these are questions that. we have no answers for for the time being. thanks

industry which also includes places like battlefield vegas to get ready for a shooting range where guests can fire automatic weapons and even drive a tank over a car. but. literally it's become a very very popular attraction without a machine gun vegas is one of the few establishment is to shut down after fifty eight people were shot and killed at an outdoor concert expressed support for limited gun control measures there's absolutely no reason for an average citizen who wants to have a gun to have one hundred round magazine. ok there is no reason for them to be able to buy. accessories for the gun which makes the gun almost fully automatic there's just no reason for according to economist jeffrey watt ups half of the economic activity in las vegas comes from tourism i think that it's in our long run best interest. to deal with this problem so that.

for himself caused by hurricanes and maria ninety five percent of the infrastructure in barbuda was damaged mr terra should mit's he's never seen that level of destruction before. the reason of my visit to barbara. is exactly to raise awareness to put pressure on international community for a stronger humanitarian aid now and also for a stronger aid in relation to the reconstruction and the building resilience in the islands of the caribbean as we manage in that in the next few years seems will get worse than worst the world bank is promoting donor meeting in the context of their annual meeting and i urge the international community to fully support these caribbean states there are small islands they are sometimes completely destroyed they are pressing five many of them as middle income countries they have no access to grants or to soft loans these needs to be revisited and i think it's essential

for the international community to be able to help these states allowing them to reconstruct and overcoming the enormous difficulties that they face not only because of the natural disasters but because of the i levels of depth that they already had before they need international solidarity they have not contributed to climate change but they are the first victims of these dramatic impacts of climate change in a few moments we'll have the weather for you with everton but also still held head on al-jazeera a tight race in liberia to find a replacement for africa's first elected female president. and find out how china is cleaning up the dirty work of recycling electronic waste. in sport there's more protests during the american national anthem this time in the n.h.l. .

a province here hello can you hear me held in it's peter darby here in doha yes i get yes i can hear you just now ok i was asking you what the turkish military is hoping to achieve here. yeah peter actual the. operation goes break to the astana meetings and want to go roughly a month ago between turkey russia and iran so according to that agreement turkey is supposed to establish a deescalation zone in libya russia saw the on the theater in italy russia really reinforced support from the air and to turkish artillery support from the ground to the few syrian army to exit get to the off the

line at the extremists journalists who are called people in it there after that after this clearing to eat the turkey is supposed to open the escalation zone and secure the zone in and out of it the responsible to vill be out by russian military or if this deployment is about to become a major military operation on the part of ankara how do they manage it properly without say increasing anti russian sentiment how do they identify who to target who to go after and crucially how do they end up with this being the deescalation zone that those peace talks that you mentioned and i stana the delegates to those peace talks said this is a deescalation zone this is not another theater of war. yeah actually peter you just defined the situation properly because it did escalation were establishing a deescalation zone is

a kind of ambiguous political objective for the military but for the time being i just want to be clear that turkey has not signed it is troops on the ground to it live just uses the artillery there but at the moment any moment it is possible to sent turkish troops. to from play free syrian army will be responsible but after than in a very ambiguous situation is different sheets showing any enemy or friend turkish military execute it is operation in eat them so it is big difficulty for the turkish military lots of threats and this also trolls the press to i mean the difficulty of the operation for the time being but as a result turkey aims to permanent and other refugee flow from

syria to turkey millions of refuge of well educational the p.k. k. link organisation y. p.g. to come to the turkish border it is going to be a kind of preventive operation for the two for turkey in all the us ok very briefly you used the word ambiguous there for the military planners not so much the politicians but for the military planners in circle is there another potential source of ambiguity here because in their military minds there is a direct connection between the p.k. k. and it live province and that's something that is unique to the turkish relationship with this conflict. exactly you really define improper very yes p.v. i.p.g. is so much connected to the p.k. care which has been big to turkey for the last thirty years so it is inacceptable for the form turkey's post predicted that lead to p.k. k.

had a heavy toll on the people and the economy. prices and living costs have made. the announcement was widely anticipated a process started under president barack obama the u.s. saying the move came after sudan began addressing concerns of fighting terrorism and human rights abuses the sanctions were piling pressure on an already struggling economy. it's true that the country is facing economic problems however the sanctions exacerbated if not complicated the situation it doesn't enable government officials to restructure the economy as it should be. there were also assurances that sudan won't enter into arms deals with north korea and it had already diplomatically distance itself from iran but the opposition feels it's the wrong way to go. and the lifting of sanctions will not bear any fruit it's only into propaganda but in the end it will have a negative impact on the regime simply because it sent out the wrong message to the

people. sudan though will remain on the u.s. list of state sponsors of terrorism so as the relationship between the two countries improves there's still more work to be done it's got harder al-jazeera. now young jobless people in south africa developing a do it yourself attitude the unemployment rate is at a fourteen year high forcing some creative thinking tanya page reports now from johannesburg. as well it is owned is a natural salesman he gets by selling goods from the back of his friends be eco becomes a problem now of survival to say now if i don't do this why am i going to you know and then that's when the crime mindset starts coming in that's when the negative things starts coming in so we need to always try and keep in mind in a positive state you know their main product is homemade a type of pickle i told him i'm bringing in the best actor in town and i want him

a report from the capital port au prince. basic training for an army that doesn't yet exist twenty two year old john mark just is trying to stay in shape but he waits to hear from haiti's defense ministry last month he was one of several hundred haitians who signed up to be part of the country's new army. and listed to serve and defend my country but also one of my main motivations is that i need a job. thousands of unemployed young men like john marks you know opportunity in the government's plan to rebuild the army more than two decades after it was disbanded but remember he's wrong history of military coups and human rights abuses see warning signs from the past. what's happening right now is very dangerous it seems like the government is more interested in building a private army for themselves. one hundred twenty men have already received training in ecuador the government insisted

a new force would be limited to securing the border and responding to natural disasters however many believe it would also be used to maintain security a task that has largely fallen on the national police and united nations peacekeepers for the past thirteen years the new the u.n. mission is known leaves a controversial legacy in haiti from allegations of rape to introducing color but even its biggest detractors concede minister brought about a degree of stability in this volatile nation the discussion to reinstate the armed forces has been going on for several years in haiti however for those people who support the plan the debate has taken on new urgency in recent months with the imminent departure of the un peacekeeping force set for october. these men say any security vacuum in haiti is theirs to fill more than twenty years ago they made up the rank and file of haiti's army but though they lost their jobs they never quite laid down their weapons they are armed and also we have political clout.

to have a new army without us will be a catastrophe there are thousands of us and we are ready to defend our rights. arguments over the shape of the new military will continue but while far from prosperous the last ten years have brought some relief to haiti's most violent neighborhoods. the everest test with the country's security must go towards the goal of sustainable peace. port au prince haiti. japan's major political parties have taken part in the life to be debated head of snap elections in just two weeks prime minister shinzo says his government supports the u.s. stance on north korea was all options on the table took us popular governor the recall quickly represented her opposition party where she launched just over a week ago she criticized economic policies saying they were. felt outside of tokyo she's pledged to phase out nuclear power by twenty thirty. asia's middle class is

getting richer that means they're buying more electronic goods which ultimately have to be thrown away china is now the world's biggest recycler so called the waste but the industry has a bad reputation is a dream brought in. the village of darya who in northeast china was once part of a burgeoning illegal industry it's still survives just three years unskilled local people made a living picking apart electronic waste by hand extracting metals like gold silver and copper and anything else that offered value oblivious of the dangers to their health or to the villages water and soil this contamination will last for years. slowly these on regulated workshops have started to close as we took these pictures a local government official appeared and unusually for china he agreed to an on the

spot interview he said that what they are in the dark for the state is getting strict and strict on all types of pollution which are harmful to human beings as a result of these new regulations a lot of workshops here cannot survive. for decades places like this existed for one reason only the dirty and dangerous job of processing electronic waste but recently the government started to close down some of these illegal workshops and everyone is now being moved to a new official recycling plant just down the road where we're told conditions are not safe. while this illicit trade survives much of the hazardous work now happens in the waste processing centers. this is one of more than one hundred now operating across the country handling mostly t.v. . drilled the part by hand it is still dirty work but
