foresees i.e. the government forces out of damascus does that mean that turkey cannot get out even if behind the scenes it privately doesn't want to or chooses not to. turkey does not want to lose its live as a bargaining card merely for turkey it gives it political leverage and gives it influence in syria and the rebels have been trying to prevent the government from advancing the syrian government has really one goal and that is to capture the international highways we keep talking about how poor and consequent lie is on the main highway that connects northern syria with south and syria the government needs this highway if it is to revive trade between the government controlled cities if it is to revive the economy for example of aleppo but it's not just the highways concho calling used to be home to more than 100000 syrians that town is now empty these people have moved closer to the turkish border and turkey does not want a new influx of mass influx of refugees and that is why it wants to prevent the

syrian government from advancing as well because these people at the end of the day will never be able to return to their homes because according to the government the mere fact that you support the opposition you are terrorists is in a thanks very much. ok let's bring in. chile syria analysts in the security department sets a foundation a nonprofit think tank briefs and crew he joins us from omar. is about to fall to the regime forces. so actually hunchy who was on the words of city of war known we have seen a new development as you report earlier that the to kish army sent a huge mess of congo to hunchy when in order to prevent these city from being captured by the assad regime so we have to see that there were 2 main actions taken by turkey one is to put went. into 2nd to prevent by risking escalation so the

1st was that the nation an army which is trained by turkey and conducted jointly to operations with turkey against isis and to wipe your tears organizations were sent in message for cements to the frontlines and lip and the 2nd we have seen today mourning the mess of calm war 2 hunchy of an order to establish to base there and prevent the septuagint for cutting the m 5 highway which would also trip the 2. observation point mark so the observation point to mark has one supplier with and it's the m 5 highway and all of the 12 points of it were established according to the us that we meant between russia iran and turkey ok and said to regime has 1st need to right to force took out by shelling the observation points and now try to busy each there but to respond that ok loss in the unpack for us so we are

saying that mr the government in ankara is totally committed to the idea of taking on the y. p.g. taking on taking on regime forces and that's why their staffing this forward base in the way that you were describing for us. so actually it took his main goal is here not to. get into an escalation with the us. and to top with us at the gym with by minter fossil something like that this would be an execute jewish and of the actual situation took its main aims to prevent them from menteri and disaster and live and to prevent the entire world from a new or free g. crisis so there are 20500000 civilians arabs who are being bombed daily data by the assad regime and to russia and if the continues to transform the not every will to see a new message for your flu so the missions go from 1000000 to 2000000 more

soon if you g.'s who would try to attempt to cross to turkey and to europe and spread all over the world so tookie is trying to protect the civilians for the sake of humanity and the world ok what's the difference however between preventing another humanitarian disaster or another wave in the ongoing humanitarian disaster and actually staging a land grab because if you want to protect people if you've got to in effect go to war with the syrian regime particularly because of the the tactical significance of conscious and this highway that you're talking about i'm at a loss to see the difference between the 2 things. so let me put it this clear shook not situated to push position or on those to meet it so we have to realize that corrected that took it standing alone in clips so neither the americans nor duping states or even the gulf states care about it they did not too ready to take significant actions to protect the civilians there so took

a loan against iran russia and such to asia is not enough and we know that the russians have asked superiority or where it lives so took it has not the means to protect the airspace or where it live and to stop to russian a new regime aben bachmann but what took it can do is to establish seif door its border for i.d.p.'s and to prevent as much as possible civilian causalities and to put up an assistance in order to protect civilians so we have to accept that. options of turkey are limited and it's currently trying to do its best ok we must leave it there irma chick thank you very much. iran is warning the united states not to seize on oil tanker in the open sea that set sail from gibraltar overnight the vessel was held for 6 weeks on suspicion it was taking crude oil to syria in violation of a huge sanctions no longer called the grace one it left under

a new name daddy a one but it's still unclear where the vessel is heading is under simmons. yes. and lifted and underway at last in the darkness heading east into the mediterranean. a few hours before the departure supplies had been loaded on the adrian daria warm in the choppy waters a specialist engineer had been winched up along with at least 5 new crew members the engineer was brought on board to attend to a technical issue planning to return to shore later nightfall on the swell of the sea is getting worse yet the technician has yet to return to the supertanker the ai asked systems that automatic identification systems are now showing the adrian real war they to the technician had finished his work and returned to shore but who will end up with $140000000.00 worth of crude oil this is obviously going to be one of

those tracks vessels either the next few days and therefore we have a very clear idea of where it goes and we have a very clear idea of any vessels that come alongside in order to try and ship the cargo. last thursday gibraltar's supremes court lifted the detention order on the ship after assurances from iran that it would not deliver its cargo of crude oil to syria complying with the european union sanctions on that country an attempt by the united states to reimpose the detention under its own sanctions was dismissed by the court on sunday as the reflagged rename ship prepared to leave your proto announced it couldn't follow up on a subsequent u.s. district court warrant the detention of the ship and the full faith of her cargo. it was 6 weeks ago the super tanker was captured off the coast of this tiny british territory at the tip of the iberian peninsula it's overlooking the african coastline and it's the gateway to the mediterranean

a british frigate docking here but destined for the strait of hormuz to take over escort duties serves as a reminder of the tension there it has escalated with the ongoing detention of a british flag tankards in paris this is the closing of one chapter of a crisis and the start of a new one that's now charting a course andrew symonds al-jazeera off the coast of japan. from big who's in tehran welcome back to the news out what's the foreign minister saying about this. well he's been speaking this morning in the weekly press conference that takes place here and he was specifically asked about the u.s. attempt to try and seize this tanker now what what he said must be seen and domestic sense as well because he's also speaking to a domestic audience because the release of the iranian tanker has been seen as

a victory for iranian diplomacy by some and a victory for the power of iran's military because some feel that if they rein iranians had not seized the british flag tanker they would not be in a position to negotiate for their own tankers so this specific question about the possible the united states possibly trying to seize this tanker he gave out this morning. if the u.s. sees the iranian tanker or even talk about the issue it's a threat to the security of shipping in international waters and iran through official channels especially the swiss embassy in tehran has warned the u.s. not to commit this mistake because it will be followed by severe consequences and you get the sense there that there's a calculation on the part of the foreign ministry which is they're assuming that the united states simply won't try to see or detain or take the tanker. yeah i think i think you're correct that i think that they have made this

calculation but sensually very pleased right now that they've managed to exposed to different in europe and america because america was unable to seize this tanker also europe and the u.k. said to united states that they don't recognize those sanctions because they're not european sanctions also didn't recognize the categorization of the revolutionary guard as a terrorist organization but he did address the british flag tanker that's in iran currently and he said that he was going through the course and he and hopes that it would be released very soon so essentially we could be seeing the release of the british flag in the coming days or weeks but allows iran and the u.k. to save face iran will say the process has gone through the judiciary and the u.k. will say well the process has gone through the courts in gibraltar so both sides can step back claim some sort of victory thank you.

plenty more ahead here on this news for you including. president trump says he's optimistic about talks on afghanistan as the nation mourns those killed in yesterday's wedding attack plus. we on this rock is the entrance to a german old claim here in southern chile where for nearly half a century residents were enslaved and abused now $117.00 of the survivors are suing the chilean state puts an end to the sponsibility. and in the sports news with joe the rising star in men's tennis claims his 1st masters title details on that action in about 25 minutes. afghanistan has spurred and independence day celebrations after a bomb attack at a wedding reception killed 63 people i saw claimed responsibility for the attack on saturday in the capital kabul

a warning some viewers may find the pictures in this report from charlotte ballasts disturbing. awaiting that a suicide bomber turned into a massacre these people are waiting to hear whether their relatives and friends survived to stay i'm going to go i want to stick at the back i'm here to find out about my son to find out if he's ok some people say that his neck is injured some people say his hand is injured he's not answering his phone i don't know what to do was i more than 1000 people at the waiting for a young couple from afghan shia muslim minority that has zahra the marriage certificate had just been signed when i saw suicide attacker wearing a vest packed with explosives detonated them near the stage. mother michael so they were done with. i was at the back of the wedding hall when suddenly a big explosion happened i fell down and when i stood up i saw tables and people scattered on the ground the scene was awful my brother was injured most of my

friends were killed i didn't know at that time what to do who should i help 1st in shock saki hasn't moved from the spot all night. at another hospital we found cerise 40. after the explosion he worked from his column and as we filmed he was the lead singer and keyboard player in the wedding band with us i mean the most wonderful nobody knows what it would be when we leave our home in the morning we don't know if we'll come back to life if we send our children to school we do not know their fate we don't trust any security even at a wedding this can happen i do not know if i'll be alive in an hour or not. so respond was made up of 7 family members his brothers and cousins they were on stage preparing to play during the waiting dinner when the bomb went off so race is the only survivor. and this is what he would have place at the wedding hall stuff cleaned up a mop the ground not the spilled drink but the spilled blood they lost her with

a relative's graves too young to understand the forces that turned a day of joy into one of tragedy. so shown at the event wedding reception must've changed the atmosphere almost actually recognized to be so i guess given that they were supposed to be celebrating independence day. celebrations somewhat we should people still in shock from that attack and also just lingering security concerns and some of those concerns are actually justified in that this morning in jalalabad which is a city just east of kabul they have been 10 explosions and 52 people injured jalalabad is significant because that is where king who signed the treaty with the british in 1919 this day 100 years ago that is where he was buried so there was expected to be large celebrations there today but now people are staying home after what has happened there this morning back in kabul here president danny has canceled or postponed the opening of darla palace that was meant to be the big kind

of national celebration on national t.v. there was going to be fireworks concerts it was going to open this palace which was famous here it was a heavily damaged in the civil war and now they've they've rebuilt it and that was meant to show just how far afghanistan has come but then this attack and lingering security concerns have been through that somewhat for those who are. celebrating today who have decided to embrace this moment of afghan history most of them celebrating by driving around on the streets in convoys they've painted their cars and afghan colors that painted their faces that got flags out the windows the home king their horns and those people are very vocal and they're jubilant and we saw some of those people this morning and they were ecstatic and say we do have to celebrate having independence the taleban also putting out a statement saying like all left ends they too were celebrating it however they politicized it somewhat saying just like the british left they hope soon who the

been lifted we should be getting a clearer picture should we not of what happened in the immediate aftermath of this area in effect being sealed by the indian or sources are we getting that picture or not. but so far it is it is not clear what is happening on the indian side because it's large parts of it i mean under and that clamp down on the indian government where internet phone lines and mobile networks are mean blocked what we've been hearing from the pakistani side is that people are anxious not just because they don't know when the next shell is going to hit them but also because they don't know what is happening to their loved ones on the other fine i'm not of leaders here are bracing themselves for their possible reaction which will appear right after this curfew is lifted if it is lifted in the nick of india that the indian government has been promising but it is a wait and see for a lot of these people who are anxious to get in touch with their loved ones who are living under fear and who are asking the pakistani government to do more to try and

regained his vision in one of his eyes he says he was hit by pellets fired by an indian soldier right off he stepped out of his local mosque both of them. everything was normal there were no protests security forces chased us away and fired pellets at us one more person older than me was also injured he was discharged from hospital yesterday. mom accuses security forces in indian administered kashmir of targeting. he shows us his back with scars of what he says a pellet injuries. earlier this month thousands here defied restrictions imposed by the authorities and protested against the indian government's decision to revoke autonomy. this 17 year old was one of them i mean. we had no intentions to bed stone but the police were attacked and several boys were injured including me i was hit on the right side of

my body by pellet. even though indian administered kashmir has been under lockdown for nearly 2 weeks. people have come out in protest in some cases the government has responded with force even admitting that a few people have been injured in the recent crisis. they shot the nigger is a member of the biggest hindu group in india that supports the governing party he says the government has used minimal force during the last 2 weeks if you have an option to fire real bullets and if you have to fire guns then obviously we'll choose the letter and the supreme court of india was very clear that in order to control law and order situation you must use minimum force in the force instance and then use the extreme forces analyst. disagrees the question is that does use of guns blending of children blending of men is a justifiable self-defense by the armed forces against in 2016 the indian

government said it would replace pellet guns with a less lethal weapon or on the ground in india that this mean security forces are still using them against those protesting over new delhi's decision to revoke autonomy. the fear is that if the protests continue in the coming days or months so will the pellet injuries. joins us live now from the bureau in new delhi and what's the indian response to the cross border firing that we're talking about today. well we did governor simply said that yesterday in the evening pakistan wiling to cease fire yet again to which the indian army retaliated now this is not something new peter although over the last 2 weeks we have seen no repeatedly the ceasefire while ations and both sides of accused each other but even before that these violations are pretty regular and handsome that sounds cannot be seen as an

escalation what we are hearing is a lot of possibly rhetoric from indian politicians on the side the defense minister has said that india actually might reconsider its nuclear use policy it is possible that he's catering to his water base one of the states is going to win the election and of course the. party that has found out that the party is also fighting that election but it has made some analysts really worried he's also said the only thing that india would talk to focus on about would be pakistan our minister smith which is something that. also hinted at when he addressed his people although the foreign minister of the country of india said that india has no such plan so there's a lot of this rhetoric going on there are these seas phylicia. in the background as well but at the moment cannot really be seen as an escalation and shell thank you. appears to have spread to more areas in the democratic republic of congo a 3rd case is now being confirmed in south kivu after

a historical moment often many others also said they came to denounce the police crackdown on protesters and put pressure on a government they feel is ignoring them with each week that passes angering creases and the divided government grows deeper and so from the initial demand of revoking the extradition bill now there are 5 demands that the protesters here say they won't back down from. the. 3rd among the demands democratic reforms and the withdrawal of criminal charges against jordan $700.00 protesters who have been detained so far but for just to enjoy there is one demand that takes priority i think is the police brutality they have to have an investigation about other stuff. the people who live here they will not feel safe after the leader we just feel like we. walk in the dark this is really frustrating

and scared journey for us for me i cannot speak for anyone for me just feeling really lost authorities had only granted permission for a rally in the park but this by the heavy rain they marched on districts. and some took their grievances yet again to deceit of hong kong central government. laser pointers have become a sign of the fines for some demonstrators veterans of the street protests after 3 . turbulent months among them ranger not his real name who says he's ready to fight if need be. our decisions are based on police more if they were protesters we will take action because we are united and we don't want anyone to be detained we don't confront them if they don't harass us. previous protests have seen clashes between activists and police but this weekend's rally ended peacefully
