a key syrian ally is denying the turkish president's claim that syrian forces were targeted. about $30.00 to $35.00 syrian soldiers were eliminated within these positions and as we cede we openly made it clear that we are targeting the syrian forces simply because it was the man who attacked out to our soldiers we cannot sit on our hands we will hold to account all those responsible for the attack on torture soldiers. turkey's military launched an operation in northeast syrian october of last year to drive kurdish y.p. g. forces away from its border and that was triggered by the u.s.'s decision to withdraw military support to the kurdish syrians have a chronic forces both were involved in fighting the turks control of the long strip of territory between the towns. in iowa and in north east syria president juan and his russian counterpart vladimir putin brokered a cease fire and january in that area but that agreement collapsed when syrian
4:03 pm
forces backed by russia launched a campaign to recapture it live anchor accuses moscow of going back on that deal so we have 2 correspondents covering this step bos'n is standing by for us in moscow for russia's reaction 1st is going to hell in istanbul so we have had some public remarks from the president turkey tell us more about what with the latest is. well the share the latest the clashes continue this is the situation on the ground right now in the the escalation zone of the globe this 5 there shouldn't be any clashes between the science of star sun and such air grammont which are turkey and the syrian government there are clashes and according to what we have listened earlier this morning from prisons are drawn as the turkish cournoyer that was trying to set it deploy reinforcements to set up of area in order to strengthen the defense positions over there who took it was attacked by the syrian army
4:04 pm
or the army factions this is still unclear right now in turkey retaliated as turkish intelligence identified fortune locations of syrian army those locations have been targeted and so far what i learned from other sources in the field $37.00 syrian army members were killed plus 6 turkish army members were killed during this morning's attack so they know we have lots of questions that need to be answered how such an incident can happen despite the cease fire is in the act and despite our son and sore cheek peace process still but i have to remind as the syrian government at the vents in southern adlib towards the m 5 highway and again back some territories 3 off the 12 turkish observation military observation posts
4:05 pm
are under control of the syrian army the syrian government right now and it has been like this for the last one month and i spoke to my military sources they were to they told me about. before this one month turkey is sent 3 enforcements to those military observation posts that are currently in left under syrian government every hour everything was in coordination with the road. and military and defense authorities and nothing happened so what the spy the coordination the spy to turkish officials have given the necessary coordination with moscow why does it happen right now so there are questions to be answered and i've spoken to some some circles though some political circles in uncorrupt today and they believe it is the syrian army syrian government that will say it is the shia are fired to a group then mosco is going to back it let's see what's going to happen and casilla
4:06 pm
for us in istanbul send him thank you turkey's president right at her typewriter once as his officials have already spoken with russia syria's main backer about the killing of these turkish troops usually shooting the turkish foreign minister along with the chief of intelligence and defense minister have already initiated diplomatic talks however if the desired outcome is not achieved within this period of time on myself will directly talk to my russian counterpart i would lay out turkey's view on this particular struggle so it wasn't joins us with the latest from moscow with the response there so what are we hearing out of russia who have a very unique and complicated relationship with both syria and turkey. exactly and so far we're not hearing that much actually we haven't heard any and. for coming from russia at the moment there was a short statement earlier in the day and basically in that statement the russian
4:07 pm
head of the russians had a very different version of what happened during this incident then is coming from turkey basically russia accuses turkey of not notifying the russian troops in syria and that's why they were caught in this in this fire coming from syrian forces who are attacking what they call terrorists are basically calling it an accident also russia says that turkey shoot notified them but also said that turkey is still also in close contact with russia so basically still downplaying this whole incident but definitely there's something going on between turkey and russia because these joint patrols in another part of syria in the north east have been halted for today also this has not been confirmed by russia but that's something that we know from other sources so definitely something has been going on and the relationship is kind of straight as we can call it right now because we know of course that both iran and
4:08 pm
put in have broken this cease fire a couple of weeks ago which didn't hold very long at all but they have both been making these sort of peace moves into but also for libya but both these these these programs seem to be interconnected but they don't go anywhere at the moment so. the only statement that came from the press officer from from the kremlin was that there was a hasn't been a phone call yet between erdogan and put in that was something that we were still expecting and also he said that russia is very worried about what he called these terrorist forces in italy that's all that they sat. down with the latest from moscow step thank you. the airstrikes and fighting in northwestern syria have displaced hundreds of thousands of people many are heading towards the turkish border seeking safety so let's take a look at what's happening on the ground after nearly 10 years of war government forces have retaken large parts of the country marked in red opposition fighters
4:09 pm
are confined to the north western province and aleppo the countryside there with forces backed by turkey and surrounding areas after the latest russian backed government advance some turkish observation posts are now surrounded by government forces are pushing to gain ground along the him for highway to the east and the m 5 highway to the south that connect aleppo to the capital damascus and latakia is a is a security analyst in a retired turkish armed forces colonel he says diplomacy will suffer as a result of the deaths of those soldiers. from now on that will not be any diplomatic. efforts in order to give an end to all kind of clashes inside the soria in the area because all kind of diplomatic forts has been given so far by president go on and it has been declared a cease fire at the 12th of january but didn't work for
4:10 pm
a new refuge of law came to the door after turkey which is more than 710000 that is a big track to turkey in terms of socially in terms of economy clee and also a demographic change not inside syria but also at the same time inside the cities up to turkey for this reason turkey see it as a red line and militarily they before yesterday start to set up and built a military build up inside so for this reason from now on there won't be any solution be taught using the military intervention in this area from my point of perspective but that does not mean that diplomacy will not work we will see after the turkish side decisive the use of this military intervention in the area how the diplomacy real change on the table will fell that harrison defense and military analyst joins us from moscow every shape or time so what do you make of
4:11 pm
what is happening now what's trying to be managed between between a stumble and moscow between rather turkey and russia what's what are the dynamics here. it seems that russia and turkey could be on the coalition course and that's a very dangerous situation right now moscow the fact they're trying very hard to put down what's happening the russians are saying nothing really happened though turkey bombardment kind of in denial meaning that russia we use we going space to try and find some kind of magic formula to prevent head on collision and it's our parents who are ready spreads out of the in the promise because it was announced that there are other turks have suspended the joint patrols in the north west of syria in the place where the in the kurdish. inhabited areas so this
4:12 pm
could actually spread further on and this could be serious moscow hopes there's going to be a one time event a one time turkish attack there's no and have for the repercussions what are these what these 2 countries want from each other and this really complicated relationship and it's obvious that the turkey is not on the side of syria but when it comes to russia it's a lot more complicated. the kremlin and president putin obviously have a policy of trying to pull turkey away a big strategic policy trying to pull turkey away from the west from nato to search of wedge between turkey and its western allies to kind of pull turkey and russian direction or tweezed away from the west. but the russian military per se have their own political interests inside syria where they would want to help the syrian
4:13 pm
regime to quins out the were it not to be pestering put a somewhere from where russian bases in meaning me him could be attacked so there's different agendas which are some block oh i doing there's also of course the libyan crisis and the right the turks actually used free syrian army fighters in the the spring operation in the turkish parts of syria and in tripolitania but their families of those fighters are in need to do so for turkey it's very important to stop the syrian government russian military backed offensive and that's creating increasing tensions want to do how to try to find the kind of solution for the. province without russia and turkey go into blows against each other. or we always appreciate your insight on this and how our

4:23 pm
experts of leaking the recordings to local media so let's listen in to some of that recording. never. going to give me the money that i give them. the money for him i mean i. think. that they that i didn't think it was going to bomb them but on the moment of the by no manner you know with. my i did. not a money order from anywhere in the land. yes they did it because. no one thank you here. there was. like a. number on a. table that was.
4:24 pm
ok i never lied to. find them and on the only. one the money in the windows. phone number one the one i'm in my. life. as a bag is an tehran he says they tape reveals contradictions in the iranian leadership version of the incident. the narrative coming out of the front has been that it was the revolutionary guard that shut down the aircraft with a missile and it took them 3 days to investigate and then informed the government but this conversation between air traffic control and this domestic airline pilot shows that someone within the civil aviation authority must have known and if they didn't know why wasn't the government informed or if the civil aviation authority heads didn't know why was that information fed up the chain of command i saw it
4:25 pm
puts the ring in government in a very difficult position because they've put out a narrative that they didn't know that the government didn't know it was the military that knew and it took them 3 days to come out with the information but this ordeal says otherwise concerns are growing about the escalating violence in libya reports the hof taras of here supplies of arms and may be preparing to relaunch his operation to capture tripoli that's despite a fragile cease fire in place and in place for 3 weeks on the other side turkey has sent military reinforcements to the internationally recognized government tony pertly is in tripoli. libyans have been voicing their frustration and anger at what many see is the lack of meaningful effort to end the conflict oh much of the anger is directed at those who they see as responsible for prolonging hostilities but it's also aimed at the international community which they see as giving rule of khalifa haftar equal status with the internationally recognized government. the building conference 2 weeks ago was meant to ease tensions and in
4:26 pm

4:27 pm
here but with 2000 kilometers of coastline and 3 and a half 1000 kilometers of land border with 6 countries enforcing it is near impossible and there are concerns that both sides are stockpiling weapons and equipment and government forces are preparing in case there is a full resumption of fighting there are unconfirmed reports that the united arab emirates has given more than 3000 tons of weapons including drones to have to ask forces and to turkish frigates like these are the right off the coast of libya to add to the approximately 2000 soldiers and pro turkish syrian fighters who are said to be reinforcing tripoli's defenses now turkey make a balance to came from the door it wasn't clear from the window or from the back. they came because they have an agreement with the government so if he would like to now they are coming. you know flights that you know on smuggling what they wear what they what they see from image and egypt they are

4:35 pm
$173000000000.00 to stabilize the world's 2nd biggest economy in the wake of the outbreak. because democratic presidential hopefuls have made their final pitch to voters ahead of monday's nominating process in iowa the state as hell the 1st caucus for nearly 40 years and the result can indicate how well a candidate might do in the campaign allen for sure looks at why iowa is 1st and whether that might change. this is the benefit from going 1st the chance to beat the candidate speech to face to ask them questions to test their positions. iowa is not 1st because it's important it's important because its 1st iowa has been the 1st in the nation contest since 1972 that's because its caucus process is drawn out and complicated presidential campaigns can spark into life here or be extinguished that gives people incredible power one report suggests voters in iowa have 20 times more influence than almost any other state the weight and meaning of iowa is really
4:36 pm
supplied by our national media establishment this is the 1st time they have hard results from actual voters and so it's just as an opportunity to essentially understand where these candidates are in the race iowa is predominately white it's mainly rudel as few big industries essentially it doesn't look a lot like the rest of america there are plenty who would like to see the 1st contest held in the state this more representative of america as a whole but that's simply not going to happen if somewhere were to move its primary or its caucuses in iowa would move it so and because the state law says it always has to be 1st. the people here insist they take their responsibilities very seriously in vetting presidential candidates and i just think that you know we've made good decisions in the past not always money won but very important to know that the people that are on the 1st line for cook is doing our knowledgeable and
4:37 pm
could represent minorities throughout the united states when experience political watcher says the people here know they're doing their job for the rest of the country i will say in terms of the diversity of the state. iowans care about a wide variety of issues there's a lot of issues including issues that relate to the minority community was aired in the iowa caucuses there's a brown and black forum specifically dedicated to giving candidates an opportunity for their issues. or not. some politicians have skipped iowa complaining of its size influence it's never worked out for them whether they like it or not for the moment the road to the white house goes through here alan fischer al-jazeera the morning. the final phase of donald trump's impeachment trial is set to get under way in the coming hours and democrats and trump's defense say malaysia 2 hours to make closing arguments as president is
4:38 pm
facing charges of obstruction of congress and abuse of power over accusations that he pressured ukraine to investigate his political rival joe biden but the senate better on friday against hearing from witnesses so it's likely trump will be acquitted in the final vote on wednesday or else correspondent kimberly alka joins us live from washington d.c. so can really what else can we expect today and in the in the coming days kind of the outline of this for us. yeah this is a pivotal weekend u.s. politics for a number of reasons not only those closing arguments that you outlined but also the fact that we're going to have another sort of stacking of events that will take place as alan fischer outlined there this is the iowa caucus that is the 1st democratic nominating contest and then we have that final vote on whether to acquit the president but also tucked into all of that is the state of the union address by the u.s. president that will take place on tuesday evening and what's obvious lee going to be unusual and offered about that is the president's going to be delivering that
4:39 pm
speech could continue to maintain no wrong doing well this sort of looming vote on whether to remove him from office hangs in the balance so it's going to be a back to back series of events that ultimately were shell is really going to shape the sort of tone of the u.s. election campaign all the way until election day in november because what you're going to have is really the 2 sides lined up with donald trump maintaining no wrongdoing saying that he needs to be reelected but in the midst of all of that is going to be the democrats arguing that not only does he need to be removed from office but that he shouldn't be reelected so that is going to be the overarching tone as we not only have these closing arguments the state of the union address but then of course also on wednesday that pivotal vote that we expect now will go in the president's favor and that he will be acquitted can really help thank you for that preview live in washington. i am plane carrying 7 people in need of medical
