4:50 pm
it calls a safe zone which all structure joins us live now from jail and not near turkey's border with syria child so turkey and the u.s. have agreed this 5 day halt to the fighting talk us through what's been happening on the ground child. when we arrived here about an hour and a half ago now there was the sound of gunfire and what we believe could be a light off hillary in the town of lynette we cannot confirm whether in fact that was any kind of break this temporary ceasefire it may well have been celebrated by turkish forces inside the city it may well have been turkish forces or indeed yesterday destroying which is part of this agreement destroying. weapons dumps bases where they have operate from during this offensive since it started over the last 9 days ago so we cannot confirm whether in fact they were clashes certainly now if things are
4:51 pm
a lot quieter we've heard from the syrian rebels those syrian rebels that a petition painting in this offensive they're saying that things are calm around the contact line around the town of tel aviv out which is to the west of here that town was taken control of by turkish forces a few days ago now but the big fear is that there are. in this agreement. most notable of which is the fact that the turks want the kurds to withdrawal from areas right the way they describe it right the way along this area which they are trying to build called that safe zone for those refugees now when to stand that's a around 440 kilometers long and at least 30 kilometers deep into syria now there are huge areas that are not on a contact line at the moment that are still controlled by the s.d. if it remains to be seen whether those kurdish forces will withdraw from will withdrawal from there in the light of a statement that the s.d.f.
4:52 pm
made last night according to them they will abide by the a cease fire agreement but they will only with jewel from areas where there has been confrontation in areas like russell lane areas like tel aviv so there's a lot of gray areas in. this agreement but certainly here in the last as i say the last hour or so it has been quiet i'm charles as you say there still remains a huge amount of uncertainty over the deal with turkey saying this is just a poor is another stop to the offensive so what happens next giles well i think all eyes are on russia there has been no formal statement by the russians on this agreement has been made we understand or we know that the syrian the syrian government especially of course. an ally of russia russia's main ally in this in this crisis the syrian government still describing this as an invasion so we're going to be having to look at that meeting in sochi the president or the one has
4:53 pm
agreed to attend meet the russians there we understand that the syrian government will be attending as well i think it's fair to say though that turkey will side with the power that gives it the greatest chance of achieving its objectives turkey says that this is a poor choice he says that this is not a long term cease fire it is a polls so turkish forces so he could his forces can move back and i think they will look at things very carefully here they will go to sochi they will meet the russians. and see what we see what the russians can offer them and bear in mind that russia will offer the turks anything that weakens u.s. influence along this border and in this region so yeah there's a lot of questions unanswered also very important is the fact that there is no political agreement between the kurds and the syrian government this is purely a military agreement that we've had as a result of the americans falling out so in the long what is the acid government
4:54 pm
what are the russians going to offer the kurds when the dust settles it's it's fascinating scenario but a lot of questions yet to be answered all right a chance for them the turkey syria border chance thank you. when a day of intense diplomatic negotiations led up to their greenman to hold a circus offensive temporarily some call c.n.n. has more on that now from ankara was president. they came with an ultimatum and left with a deal a cease fire in hours for northern syria by the u.s. and turkey after hours of talks in the deal helping patch up relations between the nato allies that have been tested by turkey is a military operation against the wife e.g. turkey deems the syrian kurdish fighters group a terrorist organization if the united states and turkey have agreed to a cease fire in syria. the turkish side will
4:55 pm
pause operation peace bring. in order to allow for the withdrawal of white p.g. forces from the safe zone. for 120 hours all military operations under operation peace spring will be pause in operation peace spring will be halted entirely on completion of the withdrawal. the agreement promises collection of why p.g. have appends and the disabling of their fortifications and all other fighting positions they will have to withdraw from in a reactor that is 32 kilometers deep expected to eventually become a safe zone that turkey has sowed for months the us is still committed to cooperate with the syrian democratic forces made up mainly of kurdish swipe e.g. even though they're no longer aiding them militarily and the ceasefire means it will not impose sanctions on turkey you're very happy to report tremendous success
4:56 pm
with respect to turkey and i want to thank president everyone i want to thank our vice president my parents our secretary of state bike bob baer great job all of the people that we sent over the last 3 days we said today early group this is an amazing outcome this is an outcome regardless of how the press would like to damp it down this was something that they've been trying to get for 10 years it will last millions and millions of lives they couldn't get it without a little rough love as i call them in. turkey also believes it's got what it wanted a safe zone that will be primarily enforced by the turkish army and increased cooperation by the 2 sides in ensuring the deal sticks at this case are injured we will not stop the operation yet but we will put it on hold because a cease fire can only be agreed between 2 sovereign states terrorists who are the
4:57 pm
target of our nation so we are putting it on hold to allow these terrorist organizations to withdraw from the area once they leave the area and completely withdraw then we will stop our operation to go. josel the south turkey had given no commitments on what will happen to kabbani but tense that there has been no turkish military action against the town which has been under control of the y.p. chief for some years. syrian democratic forces led by the kurdish fighter group wife said they would abide by the cease fire if but would not go through out the spy to agreement within turkey and the u.s. it is still unclear exactly how things will unfold on the ground as the u.s. pulls out from syria russia continues to fill the vacuum and the syrian government finds the brokered deal fake and with the wife gauging with the syrian government and russia there may be many new questions ahead see them because so little al-jazeera. thousands of protesters in spain are marching towards boss alone or as
