strategic want to talk to. uncle it says it took control of the area days ago but its hold appears uncertain it's all struck that has more from the turkish syrian border. street to street fighting in the syrian border town of russell i mean. he's a kurdish fighters men and women in a force the s.d.f. leadership says is around $70000.00 strong. many of whom were trained by international coalition forces in the fight against feisal turkey has called them terrorists for decades and he's determined to clear them from near its southern border. it's the 16th of october 29th seen at 10 am says the male voice on your business yes the fighters are resisting against the enemy. calm down the attacker is behind the red door he says. the kurdish sdn from the

turkish military have claimed victory in russell line over recent days. here kurdish fighters to show off a military vehicle they say was left behind by turkish forces. just had other their tactics yesterday with 60 vehicles trying to get inside our comrades in the s.d.f. confronted them and as you can see this is the turkish flag were kept at this and they're scaped left behind as stuff. the s.d.f. say its fighters have been prepared for situations like this for years one of our fighter calm raids are preparing for the others says the woman in the next year when in fact there are the bodies on the ground was another one where i don't allow anyone to take the body and she never. called me to be careful another woman says we fight with infusing as i'm a success let him go even if. they struggle to rescue their wounded surrounded by heavy gunfire. nearby turkish artillery reload and.

this battle is part of a wider strategy to create what turkey calls a safe zone along the border. tooky latina troop we cleared our border from terrorists but this operation we're going to clear the east of euphrates from the terror organizations we are determined about is all the criticism we are receiving threatening condemnations it's not going to make us turn back from our very rightful case and strategy for. the turkish president says his army and its syrian rebel allies are ovoid ing civilian infrastructure and the taking care not to cause civilian casualties black smoke rising over the northern syrian city of russell iran is just one of the front lines in turkey's military offensive now the turkish military say they had planned to take control of iraq's are in the 1st phase of this military operation it's believed that most if not all the civilians that were in that city have fled for more than a week since this operation started the fighting goes on trial strafford al jazeera

in the turkish syrian border now syrian forces have entered the town of kabbani where u.s. and kurdish troops defeated liason 4 years ago well their presence is now a major obstacle for turkey as it tries to create a so-called safe zone in the area they now have or has more from near the turkey syrian border. the turkish army and their local syrian allies are continuing their offensive in northeast syria but they are facing stiff resistance the kurdish led syrian democratic forces are putting up a fight so the operation has still not achieved the 2 objectives and that is 1st to push the syrian kurdish fighters away from the border the objective is to push them 35 kilometers south and the 2nd objective is to create a safe zone so that the millions of syrian refugees can return home but it's not just this is not the only obstacle that the turkish led forces are facing the fact

that the syrian army has returned to the northern corner of syria is posing posing a threat because the turkish army cannot advance in a number of areas the russians which backed the syrian army they too have deployed their military police along a number of front lines among those front lines is is members the city of many bish so the turkish army is now unable to capture this town so a lot of obstacles not just on the ground but diplomatically because the russians are exerting pressure on turkey to engage with the syrian government in one way or another russia making it clear that it doesn't it's not accepting the turkish incursion into syria saying this is just unacceptable to the only way turkey can operate in syria is they can temporarily push a maximum of 10

a maximum of 10 kilometers but they need to pull back and they're not just talking about in the east of the euphrates it seems russia wants turkey to end its military presence in all areas across the northern syria there is going to be hard bargaining ahead and we are now understand that the turkish president or the gun will be traveling to sochi on october the to. the 2nd for talks with vladimir putin but syrian government officials earlier today said the russians are trying to set up some sort of a security meeting that will bring the syrian government and the turkish government together at least at the level of security officials so a lot has changed in syria a new reality on the ground an unprecedented criticism by the russians towards the turks and turkey also finding itself in in a crisis with its nato ally the united states now u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi says the president had

a meltdown of the house of representatives vote which the while mainly condemned the withdrawal of american troops from syria but osi says she believes that donald trump was shaken by the number of republicans who voted to oppose his decision to pull the forces out as he has more from washington d.c. u.s. president donald trump is trying on a new label for his withdrawal from northern syria strategically brilliant in 2 appearances with the italian president trump went on to list a series of false hoods quickly dismissed by senators from his own political party kurds are much safer right now one of the things that i think we could tragically see emerge is the potential for ethnic cleansing and against kurds now if you look at the kurds and again i say this with great respect then the way i want to express my gratitude to the kurds. and they were great fighters. we had a terrific alliance with russia wants nothing to do with isis russia is tough they

can july says just as well to rely on russia and iran to protect us against a rise of isis is quite frankly and saying we may know more about how the president framed the issue to president in this leaked letter trump writes quote history will look upon you favorably if you get this done the right and humane way it will look upon you forever as the devil if good things don't happen don't be a tough guy don't be a fool they did go to other countries and with his vice president in the audience just hours from heading to turkey to demand a cease fire the president sent this message turkey and syria will hopefully work it out between themselves so now what's next well all eyes will be on vice president mike pence as he heads to turkey to ask for a cease fire that experts say much less likely to happen now given the president's comments the u.s. house of representatives in an overwhelming vote passed a resolution condemning the president's move and they're threatening quick sanctions on turkey if they don't agree to a cease fire something the vice president will ask for even though it now appears

the president that is sending him doesn't necessarily think the u.s. should be involved at all. al-jazeera washington is going to talk and then jordan has joining us live from washington d.c. house nancy pelosi saying tom had a meltdown because of the significant bipartisan opposition to his troop withdrawal have we seen opposition like this from not just democrats but republicans to to the president before. well i think if you go back a year or so ago elizabeth and you look at the aftermath of the murder of the saudi journalist you'll see similar levels of bipartisan outrage where you see republicans and democrats coming together to condemn the action of a foreign government of trying to pass legislation that could somehow overcome a potential presidential veto and you see the ongoing efforts even today of both

democrats and republicans to try to hold the saudi government responsible for. murder in that vein the opposition to. the decision to launch this invasion of northern syria to go after kurdish fighters affiliated with the syrian defense forces it's engender the same kind of outrage and when you talk about 3 out of 4 members of the house of representatives voting to condemn this action by the government and and when you now see both republicans and democrats putting forward legislation draft legislation that would sanction officials including president himself for this invasion it's something that is remarkable especially given that u.s. politics in recent times has been extremely divisive extremely partisan almost no one willingness for people to even talk to each other much less agree on

a way forward so as u.s. politicians take those steps of the vice president a secretary of state on their way to do we know that the president and iran will even meet them. well that's a really good question elizabeth because earlier on wednesday mr erdogan indicated that he would not be meeting either with the vice president or the secretary of state a considerable snobs as it were in diplomatic circles but apparently after there was considerable pushback not just in social media but from officials here in the united states it seems as if the president changing his mind and was in fact going to meet with the vice president and the secretary of state but i really think it's safe to assume at this point that until we actually see the photographs and the video of the 3 men in a ceremonial room actually exchanging greetings and getting ready to have closed

door discussions we don't really know if mr erdogan is going to invite the 2 men in for conversations it would be fair to assume those conversations are going to be tense thank you very much that's jordan with a native live in washington d.c. well let's stay with this story we're joined now by henry man never it chief executive officer take it that's a political risk consultancy she's previously served as a u.s. diplomat and she's also joining us live from the u.s. capitol and the man never it always a pleasure to have you with us on al-jazeera do you think president trump underestimated the opposition to have decision to pull u.s. troops out of syria especially within his own party the republicans or that any repercussions the backlash that he might be facing is worth him you know fulfilling his promise to pull u.s. troops out of syria especially as he goes into the reelection campaign. well i think it was imperative for him in terms of how he sees his domestic

politics here absolutely imperative that he keep this campaign promise to withdraw troops from syria it's part of the same pitch that he destroyed the caliphate islamic caliphate isis and then he pulled our troops out of syria this was a critically important position for him that he thinks helped him win the 2016 election so i think that was an imperative driving motive for him but i do think that he underestimated the the vehemence the real vehemence of the republican opposition to his position and their determination to impose legislatively impose crippling sanctions on turkey i think from what i understand trump thought that he could really control this situation more he would have his own sanctions that he could impose by executive order but which he could quickly lift with the snap of a finger he could lift those sanctions that he would impose but he didn't expect that congress would be able to push sanctions so tough sanctions through through

the through the congress legislatively so i think he has lost control a bit of the domestic politics here which is impairing his ability to go forward with the exit of u.s. troops well so that's domestic politics as he sends his wife president his secretary of state you know to ancora what if their child says of regaining control of the international dynamic of mission with president and the on of getting a cease fire will feast in syria. well part of this i think was was actually pretty choreographed pre-cooked by president trunk and turkey's president urges want trump has wanted to get u.s. troops out of syria for a long time and order one has wanted to establish a safe zone to try to push out kurdish forces from establishing their own state in in syria on the border with turkey both presidents have wanted this for a long time and both presidents i think thought this was

a good time to do it or as good a time as any to do it part of this the choreography that i think was was done ahead of time was in fact to be able to send vice president pence to the region to turkey to get some sort of settlement out of this and then to have a president early one come here to washington and november 13th that was all preset those 2 meetings were already in motion so i think it shows that trump had wanted to do this and he talked about it in depth with don't want it wasn't something that was just off the cuff in one phone call he himself has said he's been talking to her don't want to about this for years and this was the politically opportune time to do it so while it's getting very messy here in washington and i think that his ability to control the situation is now questionable it was pretty choreographed and create current and at the end of the day truck may end up with what the solution that he wants out of this so you know there's been a lot of talk since the operation started that because of the u.s.

troop withdrawal that the u.s. has no leverage left in this conflict and that this again gives even more power to russia than it already had in syria it sounds like you think that that might not be the case and that that president trump that president and the one might. together be able to come to some kind of a resolution. well you know it's both trump both presidents trump and earth to one have both wanted for their own reasons in fact to have the syrian government reassert its control its sovereignty over syria to both allow the exit of u.s. troops and for the turks to allow. to prevent actually a kurdish state from forming there but neither of them could talk directly to the assad government because of their prior physicians' so this allows them with russia to essentially get the outcome that they both want the exit of u.s.

troops for the united states and for turkey to have not a kurdish authority in syria on its border so at the end of the day even though this looks really terribly messy both presidents early on and trying may end up getting what they want the problem is the domestic politics here could push trump to impose even more crippling sanctions on turkey than he wants he really just wanted to impose what i would call the veneer of sanctions the appearance of sanctions something that would help him manage the situation not really to hurt turkey of man never to just go to get your perspective on this we do appreciate your time that's had a man never it live in washington d.c. thank you. now we have more on the situation in northeast and syria later in the news hour including mixed messages from the u.s. as the u.n. security council holds its 2nd closed door meeting on turkey's offensive. the aftermath of movie. police are among dozens dead as fears grow for their security

rejected present treasurer taper don has laid out his own conditions on how to end the separation. our proposal is that right now tonight all the terrorists lay down their arms their equipment and everything destroy all the traps and get out of a safe zone that we have designated the i.p.g. is an important element of the syrian democratic forces the s.d.f. which helped the u.s. push eisel out of florida parts of syria but uncle as offensive against them has prompted the syrian government to move back into some parts of the northeast under an agreement with a.s.d.f. the syrian army has not been here in years and the american delegation including vice president mike pence and the secretary of state mike compare are expected in turkey by thursday president trump has decided to send the highest level delegation he could possibly send for diplomatic purposes other than himself right i mean the vice president and the secretary of state and i'm sure they are convinced of their

own persuasiveness with a full force of the u.s. government behind them but i i think that president out of one there's no chance he's going to implement a cease fire or allow any mediation until he feels turkey has achieved had the goals that he defined want to washington has put sanctions on turkey and is threatening to impose more if the syrian operation doesn't end when it comes to syria alliances shift quickly on the ground and on the negotiating table the many kurdish s.t.'s feels abandoned by the u.s. and has now turned to the searing government that once called it a traitor but one thing is clear for turkey kurdish fighters group in northern syria poses a serious threat to its existence so now because solo al-jazeera stumble now the u.n. security council has held its 2nd closed door meeting just to discuss the latest developments and 7 members agreed on a brief joint statement bought stopped short of calling for an all out says file

pants is now leading a delegation including secretary of state mike pompei oh the president has described the situation as strategically brilliant is u.s. policy completely confused so once again u.s. policy that anchored by the vice president secretary of state and national security advisor to deliver a stern message to the turks has been undermined by the u.s. president himself he's also on the cut the 1st moment of security council unity since the current crisis started 10 days ago. publicly some express their confusion translate his comments strategically really would you agree. or belittle but he was speaking in the oval office and he asked about the situation on the to see if you strategically pretty. well i have to idolize the statement a little more what he meant by aides to diplomats later remarked to me that russia
