there and welcome to this news hour i'm laura kyle and coming up. president criticizes what he sees as conflicting messages coming from the trump administration over its plan to withdraw troops from syria. north korea's leader heads back to beijing as nuclear diplomacy with washington stalls. and he breaks it politicians launch a campaign they hope will lead to another referendum on britain's e.u. membership. i'm joining with the sports they knew her use for this year's africa cup of nations are set to be named imminently and they're underway at this year's dakar rally would not salat here taking the lead up to the opening stage. donald trump's a national security advisor is in turkey waltz his top diplomat is touring middle east capitals both are on a mission to reassure allies off to the u.s.

president's decision to withdraw his troops from syria now last season and national security adviser john bolton is seeking to get guarantees that he won't target america's kurdish allies in northern syria when the u.s. leaves and it seems that hasn't gone well with the turkish president who says his country will not compromise on kurdish finds as it regards terrorists is also criticize the mixed messages coming from the trumpet ministration about its syria plans the state meanwhile is beginning his middle east tour in jordan might pompei will be visiting at least eight capitals including cairo riyadh curage city doha. also only well we're going inside syria and will be speaking to. his in the northern town of that stephanie decker. movements and.

that's. where we have. standing by the u.s. has been saying that talks. on the u.s. withdrawal productive but clearly not on the same pace has come out pretty strongly against bolton. well i mean if you look at the language that was used by the spokesperson for the national security council when he commented on that meeting between john bolton and advisor it would actually indicate that they were anything but productive or at least not as productive as you would like people to believe. like they've identified. or further discussion is something that would be usually used deployed talk meaning that they still haven't agreed on anything and i do and speaking to the his party members of parliament the weekly session that is held here in ankara confirmed that

he essentially said that what is very peculiar is that the president of the united states told us that there will be a withdrawal we've agreed with him based on based on the fact that he has been as far as he said effective in its comeback and of. fighters inside syria and that it would continue to target what he claimed were terrorist organizations however i did find it very peculiar how there are differences elements within the united states government that are now giving mixed messages he says he's not. here to that as far as he's concerned his country is facing national security threats in the form of these armed groups like the y.p. g. inside syria and that the military has already geared up to take them on head on and that he is waiting for the americans to essentially live up to the promise made or the commitments rather made by their presidents and their commander in chief donald trump. so it seems that there's very little likelihood of any coordination

at least for the moment between the u.s. and turkey when it comes to northern syria. well i mean look i mean to on he says the military is ready to go and that he made it very clear that this is going to be an extension should be all of branch operation that had taken place in a bid to bring about what he said was stability and he said to so much also in this latest op ed that was published in the american media less than twenty four hours ago in terms of coordination or what you really need to look out on the ground is that these are still natures to largest militaries the united states and china key so internationally speaking you're talking about the world's biggest superpower regionally speaking you're talking about one of the biggest powers on the ground there cannot be an operation of a large scale inside specific areas in syria with the u.s. military presence there without coordination and that's what's maybe hampering

things the turks want to go ahead the americans through the president has kind of given that initial green light the pentagon the other maybe elements within the united states are holding back and what the turks are saying is well to the americans how do you expect us to get syria in order if you get your own government in order and get out come with a clear strategy well there's a lot of. factors that also play in this with regards to for example regional players russia. israel iran and and other countries as well but as far as turkey is concerned they say that they have legitimate reason to ensure that they have a proven track record of hosting civilians who are under threat to be at the three million syrian refugees who are inside or even kurdish refugees that have come from areas on the border there and therefore their targets they say it's simply a military one against the kurdish armed groups that they perceive to be a threat to the national security ok many thanks for that update that let's take

a look at the situation on the ground. and that northern syria say so no there is. where the u.s. troops are stationed and of course the turkish amongst others describe for us the military law of the land. told us the end of the exact location of where we are is just fire the town of that that this town is right behind us a few hundred meters away and this is where the u.s. military and plus the turkish military bases are located and you can see. you can see the syrian free syrian army checkpoints and if you idea the kurdish forces checkpoint right behind us. where we are standing is just actually like a buffer zone between the f.s.a. controlled area and the pugh idea controlled area and you have the turkish military and the u.s. military who have been joint patrolling for the last couple of months. but after

the u.s. flop decision was announced we don't hear them joint patrolling frequently i have to mention what i see around because where i'm standing is also named as a humanitarian corridor this is what the people why the and the f.s.a. have agreed on the road right on my left side is spared for this actually and they are trying not to harass each other both people idea and f.s.a. they're trying not to bother each other because the civilians are using this road as well as a humanitarian aid trucks and you see the civilians getting in there when getting out of their van on the f.s.a. side walking fifty meters between two speed bumps and getting all the other vans on the part of ideas side the civilians are going to aleppo and the ones from other parts of the syria are coming to the f.s.a. controlled area here to gerard those and then going to us us and causing the border

to get inside turkey of course the uncertainty in terms of political comedy. and international powers is also reflected in the field as well because people do not know what what's going to happen next ok. ok they say we have the checkpoints we have are safe a rares but we want syria to be united again we want to get rid of these checkpoints this is what some of the civilians told us when we were talking to them before their trip from their physical and told area to aleppo four and on the other side of course there are ups and members which is right behind the town of that that behind me and we have been speaking to are of small are living in member edge they are saying that despite the pressure by the wifey g.n.p. why did they say that they prefer staying in middle of it because where the life is easier there the prices are lower there because if you why do you provides easier

conditions with the support that it's gets from the regime like the food aid aid boxes and etc but of course people here they do not know when we asked them whether they believe in the u.s. pullout decision they say that they don't believe that u.s. is going to pull out fully and they say u.s. is going to get whatever it wants and then pull out but we don't know what what they are going to leave for us this is what the civilians have been telling us ok so many thanks for joining us there from the that to give us an idea of what it looks like in northern syria joining us now from istanbul is matthew drysdale he's on the u.s. national security council under former president george w. bush and is now nonresident senior fellow at the atlantic council's eurasia and global energy center thanks very much for being with us it is never going to be an easy visit for john bolton he wasn't but it seems he really hasn't got what he

wanted a tool which is reassurances for the safety for the syrian kurdish fighters. yeah and if that was his goal going in that was a doomed mission from the very outset i mean his what he announced the other day in israel is a complete reversal of what president trump agreed with president carter won in their phone call back on december fourteenth back then president trump agreed the we know the u.s. would withdraw from syria but would also take along with that the y.p. g. that the militia that turkey does view as a terrorist organization that is affiliated with the p.k. k. which is recognized by the u.s. and the e.u. and turkey as a terrorist organization now bolton is saying no the u.s. troops are going to stay in syria in fact until isis is defeated and the u.s. is going to protect this this enemy militia turkey it's should be clear to everybody turkey is not against the kurds of syria turkey is against this one particular militia and the u.s.

and syria are way off track on that issue absolutely because of course you must remember this. the white p.j. has been instrumental in welcoming with the u.s. in its fight against the missile a very messy business. yes that's exactly right laura why p.g. has provided up to fifty thousand troops boots on the ground to to take the fight directly to isis they fought valiantly and quite successfully as a result many many american lives were saved and the alternative to the wipe e.g. from washington's perspective is someone else has to come in who is going to come in washington is not confident that the f.s.a. that your correspondent was just talking about existence sufficient numbers to replace the y p g so it's a really difficult dilemma but the bottom line is the united states is working with a terrorist organization whether we officially call it that or not in washington rather than whether it's a nato ally that's a mess that.
