a full blown military confrontation between ankara and damascus. the main aim is that the cease fire should be respected as soon as possible in italy but the regime must stop its aggression for a permanent understandably cease fire. as tension grows a sudden counter offensive by the rebels they launched an attack to retake the town of sirte that is now under the control of syrian government troops. as the turkish backs syrian national army fighters were closing in on. today bombardment intensified. turkish army units in targeting syrian troops positioned in the town while turkey sends more troops and vehicles into it at an unusually fast pace. we hope that this convoy will do what they promised and force the regime back to where they were we hope that they will do what is promised and not to be deceitful

straddling the intersection of the major and for an m 5 motorways buckling government held cities of damascus aleppo and latakia. could shape the future of rebel held territory it is the last rebel held area in syria and for many defending the province is a matter of life or death the death of the turkish soldiers in india is likely to put more pressure on the government here many are waiting to see if president. will board a tough response will show restraint as talks with russian diplomats and military officers are underway in ankara. the u.n. says nearly 700000 people have been forced from their homes by the fighting in northern syria 100000 moved in the past week alone that's thought to be the biggest displacement in such a timeframe in the 9 year war government troops and their allies at advancing with

the help of russian airpower they have captured nearly all of the m 5 highway which links some of syria's biggest cities aleppo damascus and the taqiyya the roads crucial for the government's economy turkey has 12 observation posts in the provinces along its borders several of them are not surrounded by syrian troops they include the one that came under fire on monday prompting turkish retaliation senecas yalit was in the turkish border region of hottie and she says the turkish military is determined to press on with its offensive. turkey vows to continue its reinforcements to protect this military observation post inside it live and these pows were brought here according to our stan and sochi agreements as the as part of the escalation there so the main objective of this observation post was to observe the cease fire and the escalation violations however since the syrian government forces have violated the cease fire and the escalation zone agreement turkey

started to. store up border reinforce these military posts and not only to protect the soldiers but also to protect the civilians being pushed from south to north and being displaced but on the other hand we're hearing that the syrian government forces also keep reinforcing and so this reinforcement being used as a tool for a possible deterrence doesn't seem to work and for the very 1st time in the syrian civil war on qur'an damascus are about to confront each other's jomar actually is a military and defense analyst and he explains some of the build up to the confrontation. that whole thing started we in 2017 with the so-called safe zone these foresaid zone that the regime put in place and basically what happened 3 of the 7 have been cleared and all the rebels were sent to to italy and 2018 russia and turkey reach an agreement to basically secure

a demilitarized zone along the prevents and these are green has never been respected and basically last year you had the i had that i sham which is the former al qaeda group in the region that did not respect the agreement to regime pushed for the elite province and by december last year you had a major offensive which led the regime to control half of the it. prevents now the situation is the following for turkey this is a matter of strategic interest because turkey does not want to see more refugees and migrants cross the border we are talking here about 600000 possibly migrant and that's that that creates a pressure on the turks to to secure this region whether same time the syrian regime is moving beat by beat to reinstall or it's harder over the

you're struggling to talk to is against the backdrop of the music there but just very briefly i want to talk about bernie sanders who's of course from vermont which is the state next door i'm to he did and he came 2nd in iowa how's he performing in new hampshire. that's right in fact he did it out state that he would be calling for a recount of some of those precincts where he lost very closely to. barrett so that indiana. actually. has a very strong base of support back in 2016 he won new hampshire against. the favorite hillary clinton by some 20 percent of the vote so he's counting on that base of support known him for a long time. and you could see there very energized waiting for him about hair.

care how he's counting on them to bring up some of the top carried about but he's got to watch out for. it is way better than expected to announce that we may clubbish our senator minnesota also by say the not only did she do better than expected in iowa but also very strong kerry. and she has been able to raise nearly $3000000.00 so a lot of the. joe biden. 1 struggling. on the line i started. on the other
