have one. let you know. this is a very indisciplined group not many nobles taking part in it poor leadership they're desperate for money they're poorly funded they are to kill and get money wherever they can one of the criticisms of people hermits armies and indeed other crusader on this is that they attack fellow christians coreligionists they often did this for practical reasons. all routes they are to seize whatever they can get to survive so they will take property crops prisoners if they can anything to keep themselves going and if that happens to be

christians or it happens to be jews then that is just for a second so the ways they are simply trying to keep themselves go. again at the start of what is going to is one. they learn. a lot of them one. after over four months of exhausting marching across europe. the peoples crusade to reach the buys on time capital constantinople. the crossing point to asia and the holy land.

and almost all the wood and then over again tol'able all but leg death. well. and. then he. looks so. we. have a bill that we had. a lot of even. the crusaders who cross the bosphorus now found themselves marching in territory controlled by hostile forces principally the muslims so jukes. a few weeks after they landed in asia minor. they fell into a well set sent. in

a short path of the fast majority of the twenty thousand crusaders were slow to. you know me at the if you had. better luck this will have. been a didn't. but while the on discipline drabble of the people's crusade were meeting a tragic end in asia minor. another wave of the holy war. the nobility of europe was gathering stronger larger and more organized on. armies that would go down in history as the first crusade.

the first christians to head towards jerusalem and jews yardstick but undisciplined had been crushed by the most incent jukes in asia minor. but now much stronger larger and more organized forces were gathering and advancing eastwards. these armies forming the first crusade were commanded by figures of european nobility. raman the fourth count of to lose godfrey ople young. and his brother baldwin. hugh the first count effect month.

and brother of king philip the first of frogs. robert duke of normandy brother of king william the second of england. and boy more on the norman prince of toronto. a lot of male nobility that had a function as warm as warlords and they were. seed a crusade as a way to carve out a little kingdom in the east perhaps on their own or also to find glory in warfare. that. obama is a. home. i'm so i took.

this in are you that we've put in. by the end of time ninety six the european armies started arriving at the time capital constantinople. but the time emperor. wouldn't allow them to cross into asia minor before spring the following year. they are in love is on to you. again they want. to sic don't but what do you. zante. and. nominate dead and you're the a lot of the alleged to say as to how the hell what kind of bizarre.

law that would be i did a lot of collecting. some of the home but the food of all the. assault. after crossing the bosphorus. the crusaders march towards the subjects' capital in asia minor. the city of nicea. gabble when they. will go with. him i did it if you will here what a how that been so full why i would do what.

i can sometimes a joke. they know what's up there this. mosconi and then obvious analysis. and you know it's not. true to the oath they have sworn to the emperor of. the city of my c.e.o. was returned to the buys on time. and as the crusaders continued their successful march in asia minor. their holy task of taking jerusalem was set aside. baldwin of bologna decided to abandon the army setting southwards. and at the invitation of its

armenian christian ruler marched east to address some. gold in the first as one of the leaders of the first crusade and amongst the many contingents he decides to move to wards it desa this is a strategically important place he's also one of the few crusade leaders who wants to set up his own land that so he's looking to establish a territory that he can govern for himself. had given that you know and would believe in the whole hate that when a bad. novel why all this while attila when come started she was stuck in a log it was. emmett so often medina did. it to law well michel a cfi how would. a motel. when you could only be at the moment that says have.

i gave. a pull so that don't be fairly clear the people at the click let up. while baldwin was heading towards her vessel. the main army marched on. reaching the walls of until. the city nicknamed the cradle of christianity. as the term kristie of first originated. but taking unto you would prove a hard task for the christians now laying siege to the city. minute undocking. in the house and in the end well i mean up in minnesota at least .

and i'm also lucky but. i'm a bit of a model. and i mean essential to yes yeah but it disturbed me. a little on the. whole sort of. i'm an i'm a few. i'm above sin because you are but you know. you can know not what all of. those images are so many they know that it was really good. and bad that it did in.

a christian who had previously converted to islam. and the commander of one of the city's guard towers was bribed to help the crusaders. feels it doesn't know when the remaining. now ahead is moving now you're always in a long i had a boy. and has. one who wants the salon alice in the minute the bell and see her home and it was when in. illinois the last of as. with his drawing of his plans even while it of what he meant in let you know in the

midst of theo has been enough so. the magnificent lost so can if you would again. oh were there logs of to hell if you had helped him let us was in medina and as a sucker it has a. close ally in the world of the motel a city that was broken or whatever sickening oh of back and id reckon them is the aftermath loot were an asset average value while their value of southall has awoken had them a good m.l. b. would have an executive as an elected. governor yet this year ends calls for assistance were soon unser.

got a book or the ruler of mosul in iraq moved his army westwards and laid siege to now christian occupied until. and. indeed you then leave that area and then measure. being. it appears as if the crusaders were almost defeated they spent a couple of years getting to this place away effort all that their loss of life. and really they're so close to defeated it pretty well needs a miracle for them to survive and that's pretty well what they got. they got to deal with and then said their mess yeah so all of the men there were

dead in that house of the desert in the gumbo now would defend their tender for any . big dig in the end they find this clogs and this is something that inspires the troops god has given them a sign that if they persevered they will succeed. the fact they've actually seen another one in constantinople as they went through seems to be completely forgotten it was a morale boost. meanwhile outside the walls of antioch. the surrounding muslim army was disintegrating. some of the commanders fell out with the arrogant couple. and decided to withdraw

their troops. an opportunity seized on by the crusaders. while federal slowly we're home free was that. one first little island. then the whole then i was i knew that i was home but i'm lame but you made the law with the fellows will either you can. implicit lack of them. will just. be happy. that i can feel. so let me. know and of clean up someone yeah i mean and well let him but i'm told him is on to them and i'm mr. your you know halal in the torah because of the way in the matter of a will be early and for. the

crusaders spent the rest of ten ninety eight in the captured city arguing over who should be the ruler of the second crusader settlement in the east. the principality of until. the dispute was finally settled in favor of boy more of toronto. the rest of the armies set off south towards their main goal jerusalem. but this time their march along the levantine coast met no resistance. a funny beyond the whole isle of man i want to be a human side not a pit one as

a full body can know i mean. one that has a lot of fun. in it and i love. dead but not many more die a day to get sick in the disease. blog a mean old eighty that is just adams. who did it maybe that could be a female lead stand kind of a long look lemme guess i mean some of the lace were awful but i so upset i didn't what i saw except the philosophy from neuchatel. place walks out on election on the street. and that's all we've had hasn't the shot of the c.s.u. asuka. in june to ninety nine. and after three years of a long march. bloody battles. plagues and famines.

the crusaders finally reach jerusalem. a subtle and united. why matter how are you norman a loss it's been through see when on the post in the nia would to show both. got off a lot of but the. going with a city bus but at the overall one with a city boss so cool to. have been on and whether you hold it a little enough all of us what are you why ya for a bit of walk away at the in the us i walk the walk i do and you know that ahead of us both of us law it was the final bit of. getting up after dawn. has

a hit in the don't get on to think of it i've gone through some quilt aswat accords . but marching in the name of religion failed to bring down the walls. so the crusaders fell back on the usual method. for five weeks they laid siege to the holy city. demanding that can i say at the scene. to mean can open still really have a seal. rocks a leisure. time. and a very good sort of show. in with almost all the media forethought and reduce the limits of what the minister. with his hate at home desolate said he would have i did britain's.

can and then. you can. bet there will be. younger than your. attempt. to show that the man is she as if. it was very difficult for crusaders to distinguish between local muslim population local jewish population and local christian population because they all looked the same the old it's like are out. now for the father lobby and in the format of the behold be the loop and then. they end where. norman is said ian money the.

bishop the time of. the shot the sun even. let me. read. and causes. us one on that. one the one who had been. in a while. to deal. with the obvious of the first crusade break into jerusalem in july ten months you know. they release the pent up tensions of three years on the march having finally achieved a spiritual go. so really it's

a situation where the crusaders wish to purify the city and take it back for themselves and those defenders that survive all the river knights of the city. in america then me i will miss good but to suffer low would must give them up some point i love that it did miss will it that me and. i'll measure the song god will still be loved in the new hooligan. that is a credit hole that in the laws if. you let the horse cause you to kill you what is it the course says chung say you. bad mouth that can do a moment of the good now you need to do much and even get me as you can in medina i mean in the name that hope. to demand of you bell who took office for the problem as backings with a clear. again and again how

muscly be able to have many in a bit of this what is. i'm on your fourth at home unless you have not called a lot of it or like you now can i calm a little mostly mean a lot of. the to him what that utterly him fema me. with the capture of jerusalem. the first crusade at the civitas greatest victory. but this initial success would not last. it was to be merely a dramatic opening scene in a far longer struggle. and as the

muslim revival began. sold the ground was laid for another two centuries. the crusades. mourned the most and the initial response had been inadequate but now it was time for a bible buckle and was the muslims now moved from merely reacting to taking action putting the western crusaders on the defensive with hindsight this is seen as a breakthrough as a revival of the joke in the muslim near east the crusades an arab perspective at the so to revive at this time on

a. hello again and welcome back we're here across western australia we are looking at the fire danger at least for the next twenty four to forty eight hours that is because the temperatures have been well into the thirty's for many locations ticklish your forecast map as we go towards sunday in perth thirty five degrees not this is actually a little bit cooler than it was here on saturday where the temperature was about the high thirty's maybe reach even to forty there alice springs thirty five degrees but as we go towards monday finally a break in the forecast where we see those temperatures come back down to about twenty seven degrees here towards brisbane it was another stormy day on saturday

sunday it's not looking too bad the front is pushing to the north that was responsible for all the thunderstorms and we are going to see some better conditions there well as make our way over here towards the north and south island of new zealand it's going to the north island sees all of the rain over the next few days particularly auckland we are going to be seeing some rainy conditions temperature about twenty three degrees but down here towards christchurch really not looking too bad at about fifteen degrees may be getting a little bit better by the time we get towards monday then very quickly appear towards parts of north asia we're starting to see some sea effect snow here across the western part of japan that means anywhere on that western coastline it is going to be snowing over here towards tokyo a temperature few of about eleven in sendai six degrees for you. a war which produced one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world they will take shots even when they should not i believe that sometimes what the saudis have

been. the story behind the deadly attack by the saudi led coalition forces on a school bus in yemen which killed forty children. yemen the sata bus bombing on al-jazeera. this is. this is the al jazeera news hour live from london coming up. another major defection from donald trump's cabinet over his decision to remove american troops

from syria a presidential envoy quits we're going to have a shutdown is nothing we could do about that because we need the democrats to give us their votes the u.s. senate refuses to fund donald trump's border wall leading to the surge a government shutdown this year. at least fifteen dead and twenty five injured in a double car bomb attack in the somali capital mogadishu. and i'm leo harding here with all of your sport real madrid when a third straight club world cup title the spaniards beating a lion of the u.a.e. in the final. u.s. president donald trump is dealing with yet another. a high profile resignation from his administration in protest against his abrupt decision to withdraw troops from syria this time america's envoy to the global coalition to defeat eisel brett

mcgurk has quit in his resignation letter he said i saw were on the run in syria but not yet defeated as the president claims to get photos defense secretary jim mattis out of the white house mattis quit on thursday telling president trump he had a right to have a diff secretary of defense whose views aligned better with his trumps decision this week to pull around two thousand soldiers out of syria has rattled the s.d.f. a kurdish led force american troops have been supporting they too say the war against arsenal has not ended well just eleven days ago brett mcgurk was updating the press about the importance of the u.s. staying in syria to combat hostile is what he said well we multiple objectives in syria so the military objective could very clearly the military objective is the enduring to few devices and if we've learned one thing over the years and during defeat of a group like this means you can't just defeat their physical space and then leave you have to make sure the. internal security forces are in place to ensure that

those gains security gains are enduring we have obviously learned a lot of lessons in the past we know that once the physical space is defeated we can't just pick up and leave us or we're prepared to make sure that we do all we can to ensure this is enduring no sign of that areas that we have cleared of isis that they have not returned or actually seized physical space there's kind us done so nobody is saying that they're going to disappear nobody's that naive so we want to stay on the ground make sure that stability can be maintained. well joining us live now to discuss this further is our senior political analyst and i want to share a set mo on what you're saying that he seriously disagrees doesn't it with with trump how isolated does this leave trump on foreign policy this latest resignation well clearly most of the people who he hired when he first became president of jump ship for some reason or another mostly it's a grim and with the president style and policies in this case and the case of syria iraq and so on and so forth and foreign policy those who the president says that he

loves so much and that they love him so much that genitals all three or four of them have already left there where that is the latest mathes and before him kelly mcmaster and so on so in that sense of a lot of the people who are what you call the sober. generals have left trump is left now with a more of a radical extremists loeb's like john bolton and my pump and so on so forth but you know it is what it is especially after two years of being an office and having lost the congressional elections midterm elections all sorts of or think it's normal for a president to refresh the question is whether there will be the same. jump ship in two years or not and how much difference will this make on the ground i think in the end. it's going to make a lot of difference but it's not that syria was doing so great in the past and now

it's going to do what they are or worse and it's just complicated is going to get more complicated the question here than in the how the decision is done so even those who support president trump for disengaging withdrawing from syria in disagreement over the way he's done his decision the way he took it why he doesn't listen to his advisors and why he doesn't consult with his allies take for example the coalition it gives i so it has some seventy plus countries and it does influence not only the question of of i said in syria about also in iraq and elsewhere in the region so if the president wants to maintain that coalition he's supposed to coordinate with the coalition not dictate to them what the u.s. is going to do next and does it leave russia and others kind of unchecked in their role in syria if absolutely i think the russians and the ring is not of course celebrated but it remains to be seen what's going to happen with those territories

where the where the americans have have control because now there are stalked that the turks will work with the opposition in order to take over some of those territories of course that will leave us with the kurds that have already been well on by the united states and feel betrayed by the united states once again so i think if there is to be seen it's going to be complex but it's very similar to what we've seen from president obama in the past meaning this in gauging as a as a principle that means he vowed to do so before he was elected and he's going to go through with disengaged militarily from various hotspots in the middle east. obama did it in consultation and coordination almost like a tanker trump is doing it erotically like a speed boat and that's not to the liking of so many willing to share thank you very much indeed thank you. a turkey is put on hold a planned cross border offensive against kurdish held territory in northeast syria

french russian iranian israeli and kurdish eyes are all trained on the region concerned a vacuum created by the u.s. could worsen instability the people on the ground there are other concerns in what it reports from cali on the turkish syrian border these syrian refugees have been living in this turkish border town for three years they say they can't return home as long as their towns and villages are controlled by the syrian armed group the why peachey while fighting eisel the why p.g. backed by the u.s. had taken control of predominantly arab and mixed areas across northern syria their residents say those territorial gains are about creating a kurdish state an accusation denied by the y. p.g. . field. in two thousand and fifteen the white b.g. enter tel aviv under the pretext of fighting eisel but they forcibly displaced the autopen looted their homes they started to impose the kurdish language and what

they call democracy close like preventing us from practicing religion. the y.p. she could lose the autonomous enclave it governs in northeastern syria a plan to pull out of american troops will leave it vulnerable the group controls an area rich in oil and agricultural land valuable economic assets for the government and to mask this which is struggling under sanctions president bashar assad has repeatedly said he wants to retake this corner of syria either by negotiation or force the y.p. gee maybe trying to cut a deal. the u.s. is no longer planning a rapid pullout turkey has reportedly convince president donald trump to coordinate the withdrawal also that there will be no vacuum u.s. and turkish officials will meet in washington on january the eighth it seems ankara wants the enclave to be handed over to representatives of arab majority towns that have been under the control of the y.p. . turkey believes the y.p.

cheese link to the outlawed kurdistan workers' party the p.k. k. which has been fighting for self rule in south east turkey. turkey doesn't have that authority or ambitions in syria and they want to and you subsurface project there and it wants to end the threat along its southern border it will cooperate with the syrian opposition who will convene to give up its agenda and couplings with. a military option is still on the table president for the guard says a new operational strategy to eliminate both the y.p. g. and i still is being worked on turkey and the us may be in agreement on what happens next but there are other players in syria including russia that will also want its interests secured. a check on the turkey syria border. the u.s. senate has adjourned meaning no deal on ending the partial shutdown of the federal

government can be reached until thursday at the elliot's this is the third time the senate has failed to approve payment for donald trump's controversial war along the mexican border democrats are strongly opposed to the war and say they will never pay for it and this then forced congress to adjourn without a deal on spending the political stalemate now leaves a quarter of the government unfunded over the christmas period means around eight hundred thousand federal employees will have to continue working without pay or be placed on unpaid leave the shutdown also sparked economic uncertainty wall street suffered one of the worst weekly fulls in a decade with trade tension and interest rate rise is also being blamed president trump turned to social media after the shutdown became inevitable tweeting this video statement we're going to have a shutdown there's nothing we could do about that because we need the democrats to give us their votes call it a democrat shut there and call it whatever you want but we need their help to get

this approved so democrats we have a wonderful list of things that we need to keep our country safe let's get out let's work together let's be bipartisan and let's get it done the shutdown hopefully will not last long let's get more on this search one of us live from washington d.c. as a political writer author and commentator robert thank you very much indeed for being with us so they had more meetings today trying to resolve this and that hasn't happened how surprised are you that they haven't been able to push to any kind of budget through. well it depends on what kind of timeframe you're looking at and we've known for a day or two that this was this was pretty much inevitable but that was a dramatic reversal from mid week when the president seemed willing to sign the bill that passed the u.s. senate unanimously keeping the government open and that was itself a dramatic reversal from last week when the president said that he would be very proud to shut the government down and you know at this point nothing that

happens with this administration should come as a surprise but given the fact that both houses of congress and the white house are controlled by the same party we should certainly be shocked that they can keep the government open even if we're not surprised by now so what are the repercussions and how serious a serious is this all the different repercussions you mentioned the fact that you can have eight hundred thousand people who are either working without pay or on leave without pay not knowing where their next paycheck is going to come from over the holiday season i don't know how much. dr seuss penetrate has penetrated europe in the middle east but in the united states we call that being a grinch and at christmas time there's also economic repercussions where it's about a billion dollars a week off of g.d.p. for every week that the shutdown goes on which is. you know not.
