the 2nd day without clean water for around 2000 migrants and refugees living in camp near the northwest city of b. hunch local authorities cut the supply on monday they want to the central government to relocate these people but some local residents are taking matters into their own hands trying to help the migrants how can you not provide the water to these people and you have to get huling that the voter has been cut off from the can and no one is sending it from behind they come looking for a voter so i have to give it to them the 1st water tank arrived at noon some rushed to quench their thirst and others to bathe but poor hygiene in the campus posing a risk to many getting infectious diseases. through a month ago we had medical assistants here at the camp every day except on weekends a doctor would come every day but now no one comes here these wounds on my legs after i return from the croatian border and other people have the same problem.

suffering and we will be for a long time but my husband didn't commit any crime so there's nothing for us to be ashamed of he didn't deserve prison he continues to believe in the idea of independence and the way to do it is through dialogue and referendum with the agreement of the spanish government. this was the reaction to the sentencing half a 1000000 catalans converging on barcelona calling for the release of what they call political prisoners hopeful they would be heard but those protests led to street violence the worst in spain for decades more than a 100 protesters were arrested and for many that hope until i. hear it is a student they make up the majority of protesters and say they believe this is about more. just independents don't almost look like outlook was him but yes of course we're nervous we're taking unprecedented action in our city but we can't

8:12 am
border its goal is to create an area where syrian refugees could be repatriated after a week of fighting with kurdish forces turkey agreed to a 5 day cease fire last thursday despite that agreement and other military action have been reported around 180000 civilians have been displaced that's according to the e.u. and the aid groups are worried that turkey's operation could spark a humanitarian crisis so today we'll discuss how the latest foreign policy moves in syria will affect the kurds and joining us to discuss this in erbil iraq she ran fazio herder's political analyst in doha al-jazeera senior correspondent the pasha gun i'm in london i live sara khan and anthropologist at the london school of economics she's also an activist with the kurdish women's movement. and in istanbul you sit around a political analyst with the world it's good to have you all with us and guess as we were getting ready for this show there was
8:13 am
a news break on al-jazeera we saw these pictures this question of president putin in conversation in a news conference which directly related to the conversation with many and of course that is what is dominating our feeds right now people online especially on twitter are talking about it so i wanted to share this tweet from sonar sonorous the director of turkish research program at the washington institute for near east policy and sonya writes the outcome of that news conference the president or the one meeting in sochi today indicates that erdogan has become a master of leveraging the u.s. and russia against each other to maximize gains turkey got the safe zone it wanted all this time so he seems to put it out there as though this was a very strategic move what is your take on what we saw today in this press conference and on the operation that preceded it well thanks for having me like to
8:14 am
differ with mr sonner charkha by actually a few remarks there is no president actually president clinton i mean it was sort of his u.s. withdrawal in northeastern syria it's actually good to have that person managed to drive a wedge between you and new 2 hours turkey has been. acting against the interests of the west and more specifically the nato in the middle east and northwest of italy in syria for the past 6 years and i think the winner of the us withdrawal and the turkish incursions in north eastern syria it's mr putin who finally achieved its objectives by driving a wedge between nato allies he said you know president set of president putin my dear friend pointing what difference does involvement of russia make to the current operation in that no eastern side of syria. it makes
8:15 am
a great difference because while you've reached a deal diplomatically at the table with the americans via deep cuts add one to 3 minutes last week to that that for that diplomacy trickle down into the field you need to sit down and also have that we have a permit with the russians because they're the ones with boots on the ground and they're the ones where the guarantor of the regime so i partly agree with that. says tweet saying that turkey got what it wanted to cover most of what it wanted not everything but most of what it wanted it had to make some compromises but this is the plane a c. and b. and turkey launched an operation that lasted 7 days and in that 7 days it was able to secure 120 kilometers by 300. 35 kilometers deep and for the rest of that safe zone area the rest of the 440 or want meters outside of the 120 kilometer area it was able to secure most of what it wanted and it did this diplomatically
8:16 am
without loss of life it was able to avoid sanctions from the united states it was able to save its relationship with the u.s. without escalating it further it was able to produce cement its relations with the russians also and most importantly address its national security concerns says the group known as the white b.g. the people's protection unit this is a kurdish paramilitary group operating in the area right through the views of this terrorist americans call the coalition partner frank b. they have direct links to a group that has tried to buy a faction of the territorial integrity of turkey performed here so he said he was having the whole debate by the south hoping in a few of the people have now tasha. and the suppressed talking about this 7 day operation during those 7 days on the ground refugee and syrians moving from north east syria into iraq i want to play just i'm showing people who. twitter feed
8:17 am
because you were there doing some reporting this lady is called nada and i want you to tell us more about the stories of the syrians you had to flee and when they sooty we are syrian but we hit our country we don't want to go back and nedra and her sister each paid a smuggler $600.00 she says she and her 2 young children walked for 5 day. visit a bit out of that i was alone in the desert. everybody left it was just me and my children i was suffering on. this latest so natasha all of the on the very high level those policies done in a very high level he went down on the ground with real people what was he saying what we inherit. well 1st of all despite the seas fire the number of syrian refugees that continue to be smuggled over the border spike in that duration so
8:18 am
we're now at about 4 than $7000.00 syrian refugees primarily kurds who have been smuggled over the border into iraq to escape this turkish incursion so why are they being smuggled people tell us they told us repeatedly in aid groups are confirming that kurdish fighters on the syrian side at checkpoints were prohibiting them from crossing so they were forced to pay smugglers in some cases a few $100.00 a head and as you just heard from one of the women i spoke to in a nutshell they walked in the desert. to his they were. honestly have no idea how they need it but in any event these people were saying yes we've been displaced several times in our own countries throughout this more than a year long war but for many of them this is the 1st time they had actually left syria and this was their 1st stint in an actual refugee camp and look i think
8:19 am
there's been a lot of discussion about geopolitics gaining who's losing and at the end as it's often been the case especially in my firsthand experience is the syrian people who are suffering the syrians that i spoke to do not want to go back home they're afraid of eiffel sleeper cells they are afraid of eiffel fighters who were in detainment camps who've escaped there are afraid of what will happen to them once syrian forces move into cities that had been predominantly controlled by kurds worry about persecution and repr cautions and simply again the people that i've spoken to have no clue and what's different is throughout the war when i've spoken to refugees they've talk.
