a military enforced curfew is that things will remain peaceful this is been one of the reasons people been so angry over the course of the past weeks is the unrest began has been the heavy handed response from police and armed forces with use tear gas water cannons and even live ammunition to to disperse the crowd. the enemies people smuggled into the u.k. may have been among the 39 people found dead in a container truck on wednesday early a report said they were all chinese the container arrived in essex on a ferry from belgium and police are continuing to question 4 people including a truck driver from northern ireland arrested on suspicion of murder and the barber has more details from london the wider investigation is now involving several families in vietnam regionally the local police in england said they believe that all of the people found dead with chinese nationals they're now saying that there won't be any further comment on their identities until post-mortem checks have been

carried out but many vietnamese families have been contacting social media sites and the vietnamese embassy here in britain saying that they fear that their relatives were in that container after they received for example text messages or social media communication saying that they were inside and feared for their lives so there is now a great fear that many of the dead might have come from vietnam which has in the past seen many people leave and try to seek employment or some kind of way into britain normally going through moscow we understand other countries send their nationals or other nationals have made their way to britain in the past via what's called the balkans route but whatever the case we know that there is a lot of communication a lot of investigation to be done before all of the dead people's loved ones can be

alerted. turkey says the kurdish withdrawal from syria's northern border is going as planned despite reports of sporadic fighting in the region kurdish forces have until tuesday to completely withdraw from the so-called safe zone which runs 30 kilometers into syria turkey and moscow has sent in more troops to patrol the area and clear it of any remaining fighters and was also rejected claims by amnesty international that it's forcing some syrian refugees to return to the region let's bring in to some of the he's joining us from sunnier for that's near the turkish syrian border so what is the situation in the northeast. going according to plan as turkey claims it has. depends on who you speak to according to moscow and its allies in the area has begun to go defiant as they're leaving but according to sources on the ground syrian fighters who are in touch with they say they haven't seen the movement of kurdish fighters

leaving so it is a wait and see situation for many of these bases as you mentioned there is also sporadic fire fighting that is happening south of the city of south of the lane where there would be 15 competing claims by both sides kurdish fighters belonging to the syrian democratic forces saying that they have been advances by turkish forces and the fighters that turkey backs and the and the turks as well as the fighters who are fighting on behalf of turkey have said that they have not made advances but they are rather defending their positions so it is a food situation in these areas where there have been some clashes but by and large in the most of this 30 kilometer deep zone between the lobby of the russell lane we are hearing that most. peaceful turkish forces today saying that they have moved into the lobby and they're trying to clear these areas of booby traps and mines and providing some sort of facilities including tents bakeries as well as a medical camp for people who have returned and people who are in

a predominantly kurdish town which used to be now many people of course are families and fighters are returning to this area on the front we've been hearing various various fronts on the on the turkish and european relations today and we have the german foreign minister speaking his speaking to his turkish counterpart especially after a few days when germany called the turkish operation an invasion into turkey so invasion into syria rather so it is a diplomatic battle that turkey is fighting as well as on the battle front and as always it's a civilians who get caught up in all of this because aid organizations are now accusing turkey of forcing refugees to return to areas which they say aren't safe has turkey responded to that accusation and also what is the situation for civilians. well turkey has flatly denied this report by amnesty international that turkey is forcing dozens of families back into areas

that are indicative of the control of either fighters or turkish backed forces turkey says that it is bearing the brunt of more than 3600000 syrian refugees and all depart reactions to word syria are voluntary and made for security assessment amnesty international says that many families have been told their papers have not been there they haven't been renewed and in essence they have not left with any of the choice but to leave to those areas which are not safe which are under the control of fighters who are still fighting for territory so we've seen the turkish denials but amnesty says it stands by its report and saying that the families have been told to leave turkey turkey is also saying that it is carrying out this peace spring operation purely because it wants to rip out create more than 3600000 syrian refugees to this 30 kilometer deep zone inside syrian territory but again there are many players involved starkey it's russia it's the syrian government it's kurdish fighters.
