a major military offensive in that area the u.s. also criticized european countries for being unwilling to report trade for myself now being held there as prisons kurdish forces control much of syria's north and they say they will not hesitate to defend themselves the united nations says it has drawn up a contingency plan to offer humanitarian aid in the area while tuckey's president recently spoke and says ankara can no longer ignore the threat posed by the armed fighters across the border in northern syria. the withdrawal of u.s. troops from the area has begun following my phone conversation last night with president trump as you know we had made a decision and always said that we may arrive one night unannounced and this decisiveness continues because we can no longer accept the threats caused to our country by these terrorist groups and let's take a look at exactly where all of this is happening in syria it involves the northern part of the country the territory to the west of men bridges held by turkish and

rebel forces and to the east is kurdish territory mostly held by the s.d.f. the syrian democratic forces well let's speak to saddam cossie earlier who is live for us in istanbul cinammon these terrorist elements that turkey has been talking about this morning what are they referring to and and how soon could we potentially see these turkish trip movements happen. well mainly turkey ears referring to the kurdish far true group in this case because turkey believes y p g is an offshoot of the kurdistan workers' party which is listed as a terrorist organization not only by turkey but also by the us and the e.u. as well and turkey believes that the s.d. if the spike the majority is there up the commend level of the membership is the is called consist of the a p k k out there could be some workers party commanders and they aim and autonomous region in the in the north is syria which will which is possibly going

to be linked to other kurdish regions in iraq iran and turkey and ending up with a kurd big kurdish state called as the greater kurdistan this is what turks fear that's why they say syria syria tauriel integrity is important it is also turkey's territorial integrity for them who sent him we're also hearing that the u.s. is saying they're leaving turkey in charge of dealing with all those eisel fighters who've been detained in that area so what's likely to happen to them. well this is actually a major one of the major issues that haven't been discussed clearly since last night don and else that after he and president trump had a phone conversation last night the u.s. forces begin to withdrawal from. observation post and tell of yet. how far turkish military can go is that question we have no information on that and we have no information whether the space will be open to turkey is so yes to the

syrian democratic forces who have been in charge of the camps like hold that have tens of thousands of members have been threatening as saying if turkey intervenes in in this area these camps are going to be under risk and we will not be taking care of all controlling those eisel elements and prisons are going just announced in a press conference that turkey is also doing some studies about that along with germany and france so that these people these i still can't go back to their countries but this is a vague situation this is also a big question sin and cos fairly across all those developments for us in istanbul thank you senator well iraq's government is denying accusations that its security forces have shot protesters during 6 days of violent demonstrations at least 190 people have been killed since tuesday with most of the violence concentrated in the

capital baghdad and more than 6000 people have been injured well let's go live now to imran khan our correspondent in baghdad and run another violent evening in the capital and the death toll just keeps rising. that's absolutely right i've been out on the streets in the last 24 hours and i've seen the amount of military vehicles that are out street mobile patrols the fact that the army say that they they have fired into the crown isn't what we hearing from the protesters and what we're seeing in protest released video we've seen people being shot at life being used so a lot of the processes of dismissing this and saying it's just an outright lie but we're also seeing protests still build and still take place not just within the capital baghdad but also across the south as well and not to political developments to the head of the puppy to mobilize ation forces spike very recently what did he have to say. fired said that this was
