government turkey views the kurdish y p g which dominates the s.d.f. as terrorists and has announced an imminent assault against a free man held by kurdish fighters in northwestern syria. god willing in the coming days we will continue the operation to purge our southern border from terror which the first step was taken with the euphrates shelled operation and now with the frame. we expect america to support turkey and its legitimate outfits we expect our friends to display not achieved a perfect system and this issue of survival that is so sensitive and so critical for our country generally a for an operation i hope these powers will not give rise to error by appearing on the same side as the terror organization. i spoke to dr cameron methane a senior lecturer on international relations at the university of sussex about what this could mean for techies military involvement in northern syria this new development of training over borders for seems to have really angered souci because

it is seen in iraq or as a sign of american tacit support of the formation of some sort of core of political entity which has consistently opposed over the last few years and in fact this entire syrian strategy was has bolstered on its kind of opposition to the kurds for which it has made a series of concessions to the russians and syrians in other parts of syria and now they feel that they are in a kind of loser situation because they have lost their leverage against assad by making compromises and the people for instance which fell to the regime forces and now this was done in order to contain the kurds but the curse seem to be actually rising into a kind of recognized entity and that's what really seems to be. infuriating the turks. lol lol

lol you thousands of people have protested in the capital of tunisia to mark seven years since the revolution that sparked the arab spring but as our opponents many of the issues which brought people to the streets back then as still causing problems now. a day of national unity into his year people from all walks of life. on have a bookkeeper square to commemorate the two thousand and eleven pro-democracy movement that brought the end of president putin been on his government and spread across the arab world the event comes at a time of uncertainty there have been protests nationwide in response to austerity measures recently implemented by the government many here say those measures we not improve the lives of the poor and could make things worse.

the party celebrating here today don't represent us the year for them the revolution was just a pretext to get power but it's still the old elite that governors. got better after the revolution it's true we've got poverty and unemployment that got something we'll fix one day but i want to say the post-revolutionary is better. these young performers have a message to send they want the government to listen to their concerns about unemployment poverty and lack of opportunities in their country. in a visit to a poor neighborhood in the capital president. he has promised to tackle deepening economic problems feller's career. the revolution was about freedom and dignity but it's a revolution of is led by the youth and we need to listen to them because they say we have done nothing for them there are six hundred twenty thousand unemployed

people in tunisia this year will be devoted to solving their problems that we manage and that with our. police at the center of the capital to prevent any scuffles that could turn violent at this critical moment today on this anniversary of president ben ali his resignation is yet say they want. differences aside and remember those who lost their lives to have a project but the millions of people who had hoped the revolution will bring about prosperity frustrated over their government and worry about their future but i'll tell you to notice. all that out in the city yet as a tunisian political commentator she explained how widespread these protests are to us almost all over the country you know actually snow maybe eighteen localities locations in north south. of the country in the most marginalised areas of opportunity but also some of those are some coastal areas of tunisia so it shows that that that the. terms of protest as you know it's not only

limited to there is much in most areas but basically the same demands that in two thousand and eleven so with the with the hope that you know if that happens that people will be able to choose you know probably leaders who would address these these these these are grievances but it is very unlikely unfortunately that this will happen any time soon palestinian president mahmoud abbas has told the p.l.o. central council that the palestinian authority will never accept washington's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital but other palestinian factions including her master declined an invitation to the event in the occupied west bank they cited disagreements over the response to trump's policy in outspent by the u.s. president in december sparked protests across the muslim world imran khan has been following events in ramallah. there at the presidential headquarters the palestinian president issued

a very strong speech he said that drusilla was the eternal capital of palestine the jewel in the crowd he said that the u.s. president donald trump had taken it away from the palestinians in a tweet let's take a listen to some of that strong language the president used. but now we say no to trump we're willing to accept his plan we sighted a deal of the century is the slop of the century learn not by we will not take set the deals that america wants to impose on us we will not take septics mediation after the crimes it has committed over jerusalem. but there was also a message to islamic jihad and hamas who refused to come to this central council meeting he said that this wasn't about politics anymore that all of the palestinian factions should get involved because this was about jerusalem this was about not about any disagreements that taking place in the past but a fuck but about the fact that jerusalem is the religious and political and

cultural capital of palestine so really two key messages but it isn't over yet the central council continues to meet they'll issue some recommendations to more on monday now those recommendations will be key in shaping any future policy and you go chase and not just with israel but with the international community also. watching al-jazeera still ahead twelve million ten's of baby milk in eighteen three countries the true scale of a salmonella scandal begins to emerge and a burning iranian oil tanker sinks in the east china sea with its crew presumed to be still on board. welcome back as we look at weather across a straight air we've got a southerly flow for southeast nurses and temperatures lower than they have been
