syrian constitutional committee here in geneva early next year but there is still no indication on exactly who the hundred fifty members of that constitutional committee are going to be because of this meeting these three countries overlooked by the u.n. special envoy stephan to restore it when i were unable to agree on the final fifteen members of the committee there are fifty from the syrian regime fifty from opposition groups but this other fifty there's a been a lot of haggling on who should be on this committee and who shouldn't be on this committee and they clearly haven't been able to agree the final names it was perhaps particularly for straightening for stephan de mistura because as he spoke to the press here this evening this was his last statement to the press you report to the u.n. secretary general but he's leaving the post and handing over to a norwegian in the new year these conflicts never ended with a wonderful peace or death beige treaty and

a conference and everybody embraced each other and it is actually a process that may go on and on until all death and hopefully in the best way for develop people the two constants in this conflict over different last four years one. there's never been a constant moment of anything there being constant shifts of what they're being the military events and the facts on the ground and a political position just look where we were four years ago and where we are today second constant there is always been the syrian people suffering the u.s. special envoy for syria jim jeffrey has confirmed the deployment of kurdish fighters from northern iraq into northern syria the unexpected deployment came after turkey threatened further military action in man binge if u.s. backed kurdish y p g fighters don't leave the area so i know how to report from istanbul. turkish military reinforcements have already been sent to the border with

deployment across the border. with our understanding but also with the understanding of the ocean so. that's one of the various steps that are being taken . the white peachy and the peshmerga are viable kurdish forces but kurds in northern iraq are allies of the us and turkey they are likely to be deployed along the borders between syria turkey and iraq the y.p. she controls a continuous strip of territory from iraq to the eastern banks of the euphrates river almost thirty percent of syria's territory the first one is aiming to provence p.y.g. is why putin is territorial continuity alongside the turkey's border and for kids planning to infiltrate into his syrian territory the white peachy already enjoys self rule which turkish leaders reject because they believe the white peachy is an extension of the outlawed kurdistan workers' party the p.k. k.

which is fighting for kurdish autonomy in south east turkey. for that we have said and we are saying that no we will begin our operation to rescue the east of the euphrates from the separatist organization within a few days turkey says any operation would not target u.s. troops but the white is an important element in washington's syria strategy and the trump administration's only syria giving leverage and influence in any political settlement turkish leaders know that and are treading carefully so as not a relationship with a strategically important ally. the u.s. envoy for syria is now stressing ties with armed groups in northern syria are tactical temporary and transactional such a description is unlikely to please the white. turkish leaders but the u.s. says steps are being taken turkey has had to say whether they are enough to prevent military action. still to come on al-jazeera the u.s.

the destruction that's happening today in the country. of afghanistan is america's longest for more troops went into the country after the attacks in the u.s. is tempered two thousand and one and force the taliban from power but the taliban never went away the war has cost more than a trillion dollars in financial terms and more than one hundred forty seven thousand people have died there including more than five thousand americans it's understood the u.s. is pressing for a six month cease fire while the taliban wants a clear timeline for the withdrawal of foreign troops from the country war in afghanistan will only end when afghans sit together with mutual respect and except inside discuss a political roadmap for the future so our efforts. and those of our partners are focused on the subject right now previous efforts to broker a peace deal in afghanistan have filled but this is the third time that the u.s.

and the taliban have met this year and so that's sparking optimism that some hope things might be different this time no one is offering any guarantees but it is possible what me a marriage is a roadmap for future talks now a number of countries have interests and stakes in afghanistan and so reaching a final deal will be difficult and in the meantime the fighting continues alan fischer al-jazeera at the white house belgium's prime minister has offered to resign after losing a vote of no confidence shall michel has been leading a minority government for a week after his coalition partners walked out of the alliance the flemish nationalist party quit over mischa's decision to sign a un migration pact that critics say will increase migration and here it remains for violent protests in belgium and the weekend. the u.k. government is making preparations in the event that the country crashes out of the
