that's it for me and i thank you very much for about update and thanks for watching the news hour on al-jazeera martinez is with you in just a moment too much more of the day's news coming your way thanks for watching but by . one simple mistake could be from. fishing as a deep sea diver carries immense risk to the lives of those winning to take the chance but for former north korean so much the opportunity for a prosperous new life in the south with his family was an even bigger risk to take

. a witness documentary on al-jazeera. really still liberated as a journalist was. going to the truth was that i would love for this job to. rewind returns with a new series. and brand new updates on vast amount is in these documentaries are sick. oh it's. just. rewind continues suite. the gift of sight just so sickly intervention is one of the few where you will see patients like this says at least 10 years younger than she was yesterday just within 24 hours on al-jazeera on behalf of her majesty's government i apologize reservedly historic apology for one of the darkest episodes in british intelligence but there's

a growing agreements that the libyans could be quite useful to the west 8 years after the death of gadhafi al-jazeera world investigates western collusion with the libyan security services. good battery rendition on the west. on al jazeera. i shared with him my serious concerns about the ongoing operation. and they say chief urges turkey for restraint is it intensifies its offensive against kurdish fighters in syria. ankara claims it's captured several villages controlled by kurdish forces as at least 15 civilians are killed and thousands are displaced by the fighting.

again are not seeing dennis or without is there life from the house also coming up . iran's foreign ministry confirms one of its time because there's been attacks off the coast of saudi arabia calling it a dangerous adventure. ethiopia's prime minister wins the nobel peace prize for his democratic reforms and the regional peace efforts made calls it a victory for his people. the native chief is among a growing list of world leaders who are urging turkey to show restraint in its on going military offensive this comes as his forces are now 8 kilometers deep inside syria they say they've captured 15 border village is a kurdish checkpoint and have set up a military base in the border region yes collating violence has killed 15 civilians

and 3 turkish soldiers turkey's military says it's captured more than $300.00 fighters so far and the u.n. says 70000 people have already been displaced. please don't do that you're a dick they claim that turkey is targeting civilians this will never happen and has never happened turkey has always been sort of about civilians and we are hosting many migrants and refugees the y.p. geas attacking christians in syria and to try to portray it as if we are attacking them they are burning tires in order to break the vision of our aircraft and blame each herky for bombing and burning places where civilians live this misinformation will never make us give up on this important fight we are fighting a terrorist organization and it is our duty to give the right information to the people. but we can go live now to istanbul and our correspondents in and who's there and send them the turkish authorities by the president another firm in this

is spending quite a lot of time aren't they giving us the rationale and the justification for the operation into northeastern syria they must be feeling rather abandoned by the international community with so many people now questioning their motives and questioning their tactics. well martin talking from turkey i can say that nato has been the softest than most friendly towards turkey saw for but here we heard the secretary general stoltenberg repeating the same thing he said i have repeated my concerns over this military operation despite turkey's. turkey turkey security concerns are legitimate and he mentioned that the imminent concern is that those captured as the fighters who are being kept in prison under the control of their staff and the y.p. just shouldn't be allowed to escape and he said also they had they had as nato they

had concerns that there will be more this step this devil is ation in the region and it would it would it would have an impact in escalation of tension and more suffering so that's why he suggested that turkey security concerns were legitimate but he expected turkey to act with restraint in order to avoid any of those concerns and he also mentioned that the international coalitions fight against. the law was successful or because it was mostly supported and dependent on the turkish contribution by its turkish military force by the turkish military forces and the by the turkish bases i also asked him a question let's see what i ask and what he answered. we fight terrorism in all its forms on all its wonderful stations and we do that together in nato we do

it in the global coalition to defeat the doj nato and all nato allies home in part of the global coalition all the way and we have made enormous progress in the fight against darvish the largest illiterate darshan's a common enemy and therefore we need to make sure that the gains we have made are not jeopardized when it comes to the situation order in syria and also why p.g. there is a known fact that there are different views among nato allies nato is not present on the ground in northern syria but we are a part of the global coalition. and we continue to fight terrorism but not on the ground in northern syria. so there is one concern from the turkish side through its foreign minister childish all the repeated said he said that ok you are always telling us that you understand our security concerns are legitimate

but we expect more from our longstanding nato allies which is to show solidarity. sinan you live in istanbul thank you very much indeed right now we can get is in a holder our correspondent who is in a close to his border with syria not far from where the actual fighting is taking place and and so while the talking is going on the diplomacy or otherwise is going on the fight continues and the number of casualties are mounting inevitably but as far as the turks a concerned the operation is going well. yes the turkish defense minister saying that the operation is moving ahead smoothly and that they are doing their utmost to protect civilians in this air and ground operation we are not far from the front lines but the authorities move the media away because like you mentioned heavy fighting the kurdish led syrian democratic forces are coming under attack from more than one front along

a 120 kilometer front line the turkish military using heavy firepower air strikes artillery bombardment rocket fire but the s. the f. is fighting back they are using trenches they're using tunnels to defend their positions they did promise to put up a fight at least make of the battle long and difficult for the turkish army but the question is how long will they be able to defend this territory the turkish army has captured along with their allies i must mention the syrian opposition national army they have captured a number of villages and now the focus of their operations is to capture 2 key border towns that is across the lane and tell behind us so the military operation ongoing the turkish army confirming they've lost the soldier the syrian opposition saying at least 8 of their fighters have been killed the s.d.f. also mentioning that up to 20 of their fighters have been killed in this ongoing

operation. all right zain are in fact we were looking at the live picture coming from a towel that's the that's one of the towns one of the kurdish forces controlled town that zain i was referring to and as you can see there are plumes of smoke pretty consistently coming from particular sites in that town we'll keep you right up to date of course with developments on this ongoing turkish operation. well russia has expressed concern over the impact this operation could have on detained eisel fighters who are in that region set besson vasant has reaction from moscow. a different tone here now coming from russia after a silence of a couple of days since the military operation started from the turkish side now president putin has raised concerns he says he has doubts that i can actually control the situation and prevent eisel fighters from fleeing from escaping from

the prisons and even fleeing abroad and that's a really big concern for russia because one of the largest contingents of fighters in syria are from russian descent the 2nd largest language spoken in among ourselves fighters turns out to be russians so a lot of them are from dagestan and chechnya and one of the aims that russia had in fighting together with syria on this war was of course to control i still and now after initially sort of indorsing the operation there by turkey by saying that the russia always understood the concerns that that turkey had with its border security now the tone is changing and russia is raising these doubts also in the last couple of days russia was encouraging a dialogue between turkey and syria and even offered to help with that and also a dialogue between syria and the kurds and the russia of course is

a main player in syria and wants to have more influence over the country and over the future of syria and also over the middle east and that's an increasing chance since the united states has been withdrawing its troops so it was going pretty well for russia but so far nothing of the dialogue has been established so and also syria has already made it clear that they don't want to have a dialogue with the courts so it is a bit of an increase in concern after this initial silence. now iran's foreign ministry has confirmed that it stays oil tanker so bt was hit twice in an attack in the red sea of the case of saudi arabia iran's national oil companies as the vessel was hit by 2 missiles the ship was damaged but its crew safe there's been no immediate response from saudi arabia the u.s. navy says it's monitoring developments closely let's go live to the iranian capital fair on that of course when there is a neighbor's ravi this potentially is

a very very serious development it would appear with the iranian foreign ministry confirming that there's been a direct attack on one of its oil tankers and calling that a dangerous adventure. that's exactly right martin and since we last spoke the fingerpointing has also begun know normally what an incident like this happens the targets an iranian asset in the region or targets in iran in some way the larger branches of government the elected officials the military the supreme leader's office are slow to come out with the reaction they're very measured but we initially normally hear from the parliament and that's what's happened here a senior m.p. and a member of the commission the parliamentary commission for national security and foreign policy pointing the blame pointing his fingers pointing blame at the united states and possibly israel now we have to say that the investigations are still underway we don't know exactly what's happened but as you say the foreign ministry statement released earlier today saying that it was some sort of external event

some sort of external attack that targeted these vessels foreign ministry spokesman abbas moussavi also saying over the past few months some other destructive actions were taken against iran in tankers in the red sea and investigations are under way he also said that any sort of fallout 'd that comes from this including the pollution from oil that is leaking from the vessel that will be on the shoulders of the perpetrators that as you say he blamed for dangerous adventurism in this region now what we can tell you with regards to the vessel we're hearing reports from trenker tanker tracking sites that say it is limping along on its way returning to iranian territory we're expecting it to dock at a large rock an island that is in the iranian side of gulf waters and we're also hearing from.
