the un human rights office is calling on turkey to conduct independent investigations into possible war crimes following its offensive in syria saying it's gathering information about summary executions shown in videos now earlier the us president donald trump imposed sanctions targeting several turkish ministers trump also signaled his intention to increase tariffs on turkish steel imports and he's canceled talks on the trade deal trump wants an immediate cease fire that is tasked vice president mike pence to lead a delegation to ankara in an attempt to begin negotiations the humanitarian cost of turkey's military operation is already being felt unicef says an estimated $70000.00 children have been displaced in just a week of fighting while tens of thousands of people have needed food aid as they flee the violence how did joe castro begins our coverage now from washington d.c. . president donald trump remained out of sight on monday he tasked vice president

mike pence to brief reporters on the u.s. response to the rapidly deteriorating situation in northern syria and the president has directed me. and robert o'bryant to lead a delegation to turkey in the immediate future but to begin discussions and negotiations to bring the bloodshed to an end the white house says trump had spoken with the turkish president and the kurdish commanding general in syria by phone pressing them to contain civilian casualties shortly after the calls trump announced via twitter a package of economic sanctions against ancora targeting senior turkish officials the u.s. is also raising steel tariffs and ending negotiations on a $100000000000.00 trade deal between turkey and the u.s. as we've warned all along our desire is not to shut down the turkish economy our

desire is to see a appropriate response the white house is facing mounting pressure to address the turkish military invasion of the northern syria emboldened by trump's unilateral decision last week to withdraw u.s. troops from the region among the most outspoken critics was senate majority leader mitch mcconnell typically a trump ally who accused the u.s. of abandoning the kurds and allowing iran and russia to exploit the power vacuum left behind but the president himself appeared unconcerned tweeting anyone who wants to assist syria in protecting the kurds is good with me whether it is russia china or napoleon bonaparte the president's really made the worst of all possible choices because he says he was to get out but now he's getting pulled back in and our allies are getting slaughtered and there's no counterterrorism strategy president defenders say he is rightly focused on ending american military involvement in foreign wars in which the us no longer have. a stake but the renewed

fighting in northern syria has already led it to escape of detained i saw fighters and critics say a u.s. led diplomatic solution now is simply too late. castro al-jazeera washington let's recap the latest military developments now on the ground turkey says it's establishing a safe zone along its southern border the 1st phase of which stretches 120 kilometers wide and more than 30 kilometers deep into syrian territory turkish forces are battling for control of wrestling the situation there is fluid with both sides repeatedly claiming they have control of the town so they're all in addition to turkish troops making their presence felt in russell i'm. for control of that as we see in the areas in yellow turkish led forces of also cut off the m 4 highway that's a vital supply line that runs through kurdish oh territory from man beach to iraq

turkish forces and this syrian allies are on the outskirts of manage this sets up a potential clash with the syrian government troops who have now entered inside the city as part of a deal with the kurds they've also taken control of tab and moved into an isa assad's troops present in his soccer province in the border city of chemistry. well the turkish president says the offensive has been a success so far he's been addressing a meeting of turkey countries in azerbaijan looking at a county in these unities we are on the 7th day of the operation our military operation is continuing successfully as per the safe zone map we presented to the whole world at the 74th un general assembly we have as of these morning cleared 1000 square kilometers from the control of the separatist terror group. let's take you now to charles stratford live from a chuckle the near turkey's border with syria and it's a very fluid situation charles at the moment take us through how this is playing

out on the ground. yeah i suppose in the last couple of hours or so we've had a volley of artillery being fired from positions in this area across the border as you reported in the intro we now understand that syrian that the syrian army are inside among base that site very strategically important town to the west of here which is very much within the area of turkey's plan to set up this safe zone we understand that f.s.a. fighters these are the syrian rebel fighters that have been brought in by the turks to participate in this operation moving towards. going to stand they could be as close as so 10 kilometers away. this of course is a huge concern and the focus of attention we understand at the moment very much of the russians the russians saying that they are doing all they can to avoid some

sort of confrontation between the what is now 2 separate armies we also hear reports from the city of russell i which is to the east of here which is repeatedly be claims made by both sides of control there over the last few days still going clashes there. i think it's worth pointing out that in terms of looking at the kind of ethnic mix of the complexities of this area. the men that are at the forefront of the turkish campaign those syrian rebel fighters are arabs and many of them lived in and around the area but they were forced out during the battle against arsenal and indeed fighting the s.d.f. they are very keen to get back into that area which of course has great historical importance for them and of course being questions being asked by military analysts and so on as to whether there is enough discipline amongst them to prevent any kind

of escalation the situation is fluid here and as you can imagine yeah very tense. charles thank you for that update now world powers of long sought local allies in the syrian conflict the groups fighting in the northeast right now no exception the main target of the turkish offensive is the a.s.d. if that's the syrian democratic forces now they were the obama administration's main ally in the fight against eisel is the f. ranks of mine in the field with kurdish fighters of the y. p.g. and chris's this group is an offshoot of its band kurdistan workers party or p k k which is for the turkish government for decades meanwhile turkey has enlisted the help of the syrian national army which was previously known as the free syrian army there were a rebel force of syrian military defectors and citizens some of them were armed and trained by the u.s. until tromp time into office by now enjoyed the backing of turkey which has boosted

their numbers well mehmet chili is managing editor of daily sabah an english language newspaper he joins us on skype from istanbul it's nice to have you with us there's a lot to discuss here i want to start 1st of all with just how this is playing out inside turkey this support for this incursion and also for president in one. well i think you are a ship into syria against white b.g. terrorists has created something that's not very usual in church politics and public opinion and that being if you go to fight or it's want it comes to this operation aside from some small segments of society 'd some radicals and marginalized groups. from the opposition to government pretty much the whole parliament is unified except with the exception of. h.t.t.p.

which is you know ideologically linked to the ek but when it comes to decide see that public opinion there is a very unified stance and support because the there is a there is an acknowledgement that the presence of y.p. g. along orders is no different then to p.q. presence and target and being a national security threat posed by the y.p. as the us call it as you have which is simply a name change and the the structure or the aims of the group are not any different then what d.p. has aimed for and in the long term so for that reason to ease ration into syria as we see very strong support in the public opinion but we're hearing from couldn't groups inside turkey as well who clearly are not going to be supportive as the rest of the countries. well i disagree with that point because if

we if we come to a preclusion and then we have to have the president. promised that turkey's fighting kurds as an ethnicity as an ethnic group but that's not the case to you has. said it numerous times and i mean good government has said it to president obama said it and there's also i think a very strong opinion from the kurds and self that now the y.p. ji which it took east fighting for is fighting against is actually throwing bombs across the border to the kurdish town to towns that are hope you'll aided by the kurdish population so it's not fighting the kurds if we agree that turkey is fighting terrorists then we should we would understand that to the kurds inside turkey are also not against there might be some criticism but if they're not against the elimination of y.p.u. from its border.
