the deliberations on syria they were held in the closed consultation room next to the chamber perhaps they didn't want yet more division on the latest phase of syria's long war to be seen in public behind closed doors they couldn't agree on words for a joint statement instead the u.s. ambassador tried to sum up her country's position after days of controversy and confusion in washington on whether president trump had given the green light to the turkish operation we just finished our consultations on syria and as the president has made abundantly clear the u.s. has not in any way endorsed the decision that the government of turkey to mount a military incursion into northeast syria. president trump has emphasized to the government of turkey that they bear full responsibility for protecting the kurdish population and religious minorities including christians and ensuring that no

humanitarian crisis takes place the ambassadors of e.u. countries who sit on the security council we also came up with a joint statement we are deeply concerned by the turkish military operation in northeast syria we call upon turkey to seize the unilateral military action as we do not believe it will address truckies underlying security concerns i'm told behind the scenes the bin laden discussions about those words with germany and france wanting to take a tougher line with turkey than the u.k. statements from the german government and from the french government has said that they condemn what is going on the turkish operation in the strongest possible terms the u.k. government has not used the word condemn why i wouldn't read too much into that we've made it very clear that we didn't support the turkish military incursion we don't support the operation and we want to see it ended it's clear there were some

disagreements among the e.u. countries who called this meeting and a wider divide among the widest security council things are moving extremely fast but again there is little unity on the issue of syria. 0 at the united nations. there are plenty more ahead on the new zeland clearing murders and west of the crime wave president says being neglected by police. after a year of scandal the 2018 nobel prize for literature is finally of water. and sports a historic day for iranian football on and off the pitch peter will explain later in the program. u.s. congressional democrats have issued subpoenas for 2 business been charged with campaign

country the same group also operated a number of police officers on stage as they vented their anger of a new austerity measures imposed by president and then more in a. well let's get more on our top story now the u.n. security council meeting on turkey's incursion into syrian territory a diplomatic editor james bay spoke exclusively to the u.k.'s ambassador to the un karen pearce. the turks say that they are acting under the u.n. charter article $51.00 which says that you can act in self-defense you're an expert on these things do you believe this is self-defense or do you believe this is a breach of international law when i'm not a legal expert it is true that the right to self-defense is in evidence and it's also in article $51.00 of the charter as you say and the turks have written to the security council with that justification i think 2 things on that one is that

whatever justification countries use it doesn't relieve them of the responsibility to follow international humanitarian law and the geneva conventions with any military operation and i think the 2nd point as was discussed by the security council today is that it won't the military operation we believe will not solve the stated national security problem that turkey has in that part of syria so we have been urging the turks to get back into diplomatic talks some of those have been with the americans about the so-called safe zone we regret it very much that those talks were broken off and we really would encourage the turks to consider reconsider very seriously starting them again the russians have said very little since the turkish started their operation the syrian government been virtually silent what do you make of that. i wouldn't read too much into it except i think

the russians are waiting to see if they can turn this to their propaganda advantage one reason why i want to keep stressing the international humanitarian law point the fact that turkey has done is in no way means that the russians can carry on with their indiscriminate attacks on hospitals in italy for example any competent has to abide by international humanitarian law but i suspect the russians and the syrians are also waiting to see if this has a material effect on the ground the russian position is that syrian territorial integrity must be observed foreign forces mass leave so i suspect they're waiting to see exactly what happens on the ground and how they can turn it to their advantage i want to be very clear that we applaud what turkey has done on refugees in general she's been extraordinarily generous to refugees from syria she's also

a nato ally and a valued partner of the european union but we don't support this operation we don't support it because we think it detracts from the attention on the fighting campaign and we are also very concerned that it may actually increase humanitarian suffering but president about those refugees that he might let them leave turkey a flood of refugees heading towards europe do you see that as a threat. i think it's certainly designed to put pressure on the europeans possibly in the hope that we will mitigate our criticism of this particular operation we don't do different business through threats you know there is a very serious issue emanating from syrian refugees and migrants so far the european union has sought to deal with that through dialogue including with turkey and i think we want to intensify our efforts so that we can manage the migration

issue we don't see it as directly connected to the turkish operation now fighting between me and miles army and ethnic armed groups in the north has flared up again despite government efforts to negotiate a peace agreement and civilians in shan state a quarter in the middle of a battle between government forces and the to our national liberation army florence lowy sent us this report. the national liberation army on patrol the armed wing of the state liberation front is thought to be at least $1500.00 strong it was founded in 1992 to fight for more autonomy for the palau minority in shan state they're one of several prominent ethnic armed groups that didn't sign a cease fire agreement with the myanmar government 4 years ago various ethnic groups here are being targeted after they attacked a myanmar army academy and other buildings last month that's despite

a unilateral ceasefire announcements by both sides in the past few months. that would then i'm one of the sub in the jungle where you and i will be if we are making a cease fire there must be a monitoring been and who is going to act as a mediator resurges immediate there be a member of the political negotiation team all from china. the myanmar military told local media in september that the attacks by the ethnic armed groups suggest they're not interested in peace civilians are bearing the brunt of the violence here in the township more than 2000 people have been forced to seek shelter in neighboring villages and monasteries kamya has high blood pressure and diabetes the fighting is taking a toll on her health king did in that limo again a little prayer i was frightened i was a time praying praying to the spirits for safety but it has no family and no relatives
