baghdad secure last month iraqi prime minister head there live by the declared victory against isis saying the war against the group was over but the victory is yet to be translated into an end to attacks the u.n. says last month alone at least sixty nine civilians were killed in violence and armed conflict highlighting the fragility of iraq's peace as world attention feeds after the declared defeat device of some of injury the others are now moving to syria where significant developments in the country's north are threatening to cause major diplomatic fallout the u.s. announced that it supporting the formation of a thirty thousand strong kurdish led border force in rebel controlled areas turkey says america is playing with fire syria's government says the plan is a blatant assault on its territory russia has also reacted suggesting the formation of a zone controlled by u.s. backed rebels could lead to the partition of syria. but there it when you when you

were going to go to american say i saw was not completely destroyed in syria but we can now see that the u.s. are not interested in the territorial integrity of syria it announced a new initiative yesterday and they would like to support the democratic forces of syria and as the one of border security which would mean cutting off large territories around turkey's border this is a difficult area where there is tension between kurds and arabs these territories would be controlled by armed oppositions and u.s. forces it would be very difficult to split syria such an approach is taking place without a u.n. resolution or negotiations in geneva russia iran and turkey expect clarifications from the u.s. . small from moscow. well since the beginning of the syrian conflict is one thing that is united pretty much all of the countries involved in one way or another in the war is their belief but at least publicly stated that the territorial integrity of syria has to be maintained well what we have heard out of turkey and

moscow today suggests that both those countries are losing faith with the united states is being honest so that intention sergey lavrov said that he thought this plan for a border security force was a centrally the united states trying to partition syria in some way lavrov also went on to big up russia's involvement in the various parts of the dialogue process that are going on at the moment particularly asked on which he says is really helps in de conflicts to some extent the syrian war he also said that the. dialogue congress that's supposed to be happening in sochi in russia later on in the month he said that this would bring together groups involved in the syrian crisis going to being excluded from the geneva process

bring them into the fold and he says this would actually help the geneva process move forward essentially giving the in the united nations as he put it kind of a kick up the backside well as we heard the u.s. move to take a shangri about american support for kurdish dominated forces in syria and president receptive to one of turkey has announced a new offensive against the kurds but in a hold has more. to kish president today chip tayyip erdogan and using a party address to look staunch in the face of the u.s. backed could use force on his southern border. he promised to respond with a show of force saying tikki will launch its own military operation and the northern syrian city of buffeting not so so the letter was ginned just like we do not let the kurdistan workers party or p.k. open their eyes within our borders we are determined to vanquish them on the other

side of fall border god willing in the coming days we will continue the operation to purge our southern border from terror. tikki has fought kiddish factions within its borders for more than thirty years and doesn't want to see that could gain power in neighboring syria the u.s. and the european union say the p.k. k. is a terror group but in northern syria the americans say they're supporting kurdish forces not the p.k. k. specifically the kurds are the most effective fighting force against the islamic state in syria and they've been very successful in that that's the american purpose but the turks regard the kurds and the why b.g. as a dire threat to u.s. president trump promised iran that he would stop being and training could fight is but the pentagon never made that official now turkey is furious about reports of a new u.s. backed border force of thirty thousand personnel with the syrian democratic forces

a group of largely controlled by the could ish y.p. gee they will reportedly deploy along the border of turkey iraq to the southeast and the euphrates river valley the dividing line with assad's military how the american backed could just wipe e.g. posted this online in december the posting to show clashes with turkish forces it's enough rain in northern syria the same could. be one now says he will launch a military operation in the coming days we'll get there are many kyler despite it all we believe we have common interests with america in the region and hope we can act in concert because the time has come to support turkey and the time to give strategical peroration is due. afrin could be the test for a difficult three way relationship between powers in the syrian war. the united states and the kurdish fight is so hated by one side and supported by the other

medium the hand. orson casilla is our correspondent in attacking turkey's border with syria it seems that turkey has a war on two fronts to a certain extent it's trying to deal with both russia and syria in the airstrikes on internally displaced people in those deescalation zones and now this new front with the united states and its support for kurdish fighters in the north of the country what are its options and its possibilities. so hell yes the possibility of a military operation in often was kind of weak at the beginning when president add on started stating this like about a year ago but now we see that turkey has also backed from russia and also the syrian regime agrees the same reviews over the security forces stationing in syria iraq and turkey iraq war do from turkish perspective i can say

that despite united states claims that they are trying to provide security and stop the illegal infiltration of the radical insurgencies to the area turkey takes it as perceives it as a threat because turkey believes that the white p.g. is an offshoot of p.k. k. could to some workers party as we have watched in our news package and it sees it as a national security risk and a threat to its territorial integrity but here some other questions come up. to us which are turkey and united states have been nato allies and they have had strategic partnership in the region for such a long time but now the question is whether turkey is drifting apart from its partner united states and aligning with russia iran axis or is this problem going

to be sold but right away i'm assuming last minute not of cations from turkish local media that prisons are down this current the giving harsh statements against the us the solution for stationing those forces and it is for sure that turkey sees the us the solution as you know later elliptic and and a person is that as a threat to itself as a threat showing that you can't do any operation against often without our permission these these couple of days will be very high. in terms of this topic but presents are gone state of the a survey that in the couple in the coming days probably this week that this military would launch an operation in our friend but we will see whether russia turkey and united states will be able to negotiate around the table and agree on a common point to call and come up to a consensus or will these strong strategic partners will drift apart from each

other well so to keep an eye on things for the moment said and possibly day in and tell you thank you. well elsewhere in syria government forces say they're close to taking control of a strategically important base in italy a province they've been fighting for against a number of armed groups included hired the sham which used to be affiliated with al qaida government commanders say that they're now advancing on the base from several positions. they say they've now taken control of more than four hundred square kilometers over the countryside near the border with ip. now a walkway has collapsed inside indonesia's stock exchange building in jakarta causing widespread panic and injuries glass and other day be crushed down on to people in the lobby at least seventy five people were taken to hospital our correspondence that vasant is outside the stock exchange. many here are still shocked that this collapse could take place here in the financial heart. in the

middle of dissenter a lot of people were injured because the small bridge here in the second power of the stock exchange collapsed just before the lunch break the trading had stopped but a lot of students were here from. visiting the building and they were on the small bridge at the mass and then level level just above the lobby when the collapse took place a c.c.t.v. footage shows very clearly what happened at the time it's horrifying to see these students on this small greats and then this whole thing collapsed of course a lot of people were injured and they were panicking to try to get out of this building as soon as possible the students were seen lying outside on the street with injuries and of course i'm glad to have been going back and forth to hospitals here in the area to take them to hospital more than staff and three people were brought to hospital but it's a miracle that the many of them had only light injuries to broken bones and a lot of them have been released from hospital already knows the building

management is now under a lot of pressure to answer questions what actually is the cost of this collapse and why this could happen and also ahead here on al-jazeera including making a new collection of writings and speeches point china does president it's the book show plus. outside of this castle a church and something chilly just lets up protesting against pope francis i was single and in a sudden on coming up i'll tell you why many people in this country are bringing as the pope makes his way to chile. hello there we've got some heavy rain that's. working its way towards japan at the moment here's what it's looking like at the moment just a little bit of cloud drifting across the northern parts nothing really to worry

about currently but we've got this little weather system here that's pulling itself together as it works its way out of china and just clipped the south coast of south korea as that works its way across the southern parts of japan it does look very very heavy there for wednesday it will be a very wet one for some of us including force later on in tokyo meanwhile towards the west generally quite quiet here but the temperatures are rising for is in beijing our temperatures should make it up to around sixty degrees on wednesday before the towards the south it is also a bit milder now force in the southeastern parts of china too for shanghai will be getting to around fifteen degrees and for hong kong around twenty two there is this little link of cloud here on choose day that's going to give us a fair amount of rain but it's breaking up fizzling out so by the time we get to wednesday not a great deal to be seen of that system and looks like most of us will get away with a dry a pitch a bit further towards the south or for some of us in the philippines it's turning wetter as we head through the next day or so there's a few showers around with us at the moment on choose day but those showers really

begin to pull themselves together and then it's lose on where we see some of the wettest of the weather here for some of us it really does look like a very soggy day. this was our foundation. i tried to do something different when i met daisy it was the best day of my life. i wish that day could have gone on forever. but my past caught up with. me decide pay the price d.c.m. back this time on al-jazeera.

the only functioning airport in tripoli after the international terminal was damaged in twenty fourteen by mode of the war he joins me now from libya's capital tripoli just bring us up to speed of the exact circumstances of what we know right now in terms of events in and around the airport. well currently the clashes have related leak down to the special deterrence force that is the you back to government of national called force patrolling and securing around the air bases announcing that they have taken over the areas around the bases that were previously captured by armed with groups attacking their bases since early morning now. a

national accord government to announce it on its page on facebook that these armed groups attack in the air they aiming at releasing an al qaeda affiliate from a prison belonging to the special deterrence force inside the base now. individuals are in the field hospital in say that nine dead thirty two one did so far and we understand that the special deterrence force at that is the security force securing. twenty fourteen there's been policing the city of tripoli but the problem is the roots of this problem originated since the deterrence force created a prison inside the facilities of the bees and they have thousands of suspects inside that prison now the armored groups that attacked the airbase say that

this prison is outside of the legitimate authorities and deterrence force have been doing extrajudicial practices inside that prison we understand that the prisoners there include isolette figure it's former rebels active it's activists and also other criminal suspects the special literals force. has been policing the city of tripoli since two thousand and fourteen but this prison is somehow has got in. because of their torture cases and their killing get out of the x. . killing in that prison inside the. military airbase where understand that made a report inside the base has been the only functioning airport in tripoli since

july two thousand and fourteen when their tripoli international airport was damaged by rival groups that were fighting for control of the airport so i will leave it there now to come back to you with a further update later the day thank you. foreign ministry is denying a report by the united arab emirates state news agency that qatar a fighter jets have quoted intercepted and civilian aircraft the news outlets of the plane was on its way to bahrain follows a complaint bind hard to the united nations security council over two alleged violations of space by u.s. military planes in recent weeks tensions between cutoff and its neighbors have increased since june when the u.a.e. saudi arabia egypt and bahrain diplomatic and economic ties. the us president donald trump has denied accusations that he's racist he's been criticized for allegedly using vulgar language when describing haiti el salvador

and several african nations during a recent white house meeting article he does more. the big conversation happening in washington and really across the country in the globe right now is president donald trump in fact a racist this is all coming about after a meeting where a bipartisan group of senators went to the white house and said they had to compromise on immigration reform the president reportedly bristled at it because he said it would allow in countries in africa el salvador in haiti and he described those as undesirable countries although he used a far more explosive expletive to describe those places now the question is is he in fact a racist because in that conversation he said he would rather take in people from countries like norway which are majority white well here's what the president had to say about that. and we believe. that this isn't just a question being bandied about whether or not president donald trump is racist this

has an actual impact the republicans need to pass a budget their charge of the house and the senate and funding for the government runs out this coming friday if they can't pass something well then they'll face a partial government shutdown democrats have unique leverage because they need their votes in order to keep the government going so there are democrats who are saying they're simply not going to vote for it in less they get some sort of immigration deal they see this as their point of leverage and they plan to use it so right now they're basically going to face off for the next five days and either democrats are going to cave and vote for a budget or republicans are going to have to come up with some sort of immigration compromise. pope francis is on the way to chile peru to promote peace and unity but security plans are being reevaluated following attacks on six very catholic churches in chile there's anger in both countries about the church and how the church avant has dealt with paedophile priests latin america editor lucien human
