self was families including children. we made a choice to pursue a special forces raid at a much greater risk than our to our own people, rather than targeting him with an air strike. as us special forces moved in the ice, a leader reportedly detonated an explosive and a final act of desperate cowardice. he chose to blow himself up, taking several members of his family with him. the mission happened thursday in north western syria in it live province. residence on the ground said at least 13 people, including children, were killed in the operation. the pentagon said there were no true casualties with the credit or might in his vice president and national security advisors over saw the mission from the situation room of the white house. it was the biggest us rated, syria says the 2019 operation that killed the ice, a leader abu bakar albert daddy. this operation was literally months in the

planning the u. s. targeted the ice, a leader for threats he allegedly posed to us interests and crimes committed in iraq in 2014, including the enslavement of edi women. the raid comes a week after the defense secretary ordered the u. s. military to do more to protect civilians in combat operations often largely forgotten in the west proseries. it may be the only a silver lining of this is it has brought back media's attention to the conflict and syria seems from their perspective that no one really cares. so a one advantage in the sense is that this is now go to your back into, into the news. despite efforts to limit casualties, some members of congress are now calling for an investigation into the civilian deaths to ensure that every reasonable step was taken to protect innocent lives.

well, could they offer the pants, signed a series of economic deals, including want to produce turkish trades in ukrainian factories. this, our busy, it comes to a sensitive time. i'd like to reiterate that we continue to support the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine, including crimea. i appreciate the messages of the ukrainian administrators, especially mister president, to emphasize common sense and dialogue, as i've emphasized before, turkeys prepared to undertake it's paw in order to end. the crisis. hot up dilemma has more from t. yes. i think it's a, it's a relationship that is improving by the day in these economic does. a very important for both countries and in turkey has always said that it, due to the integrity of ukraine, must be respected in the past president air to one has also said that it would be very unwise of russian president vladimir putin to have a military escalation or indeed to invade ukraine. so turkey was very clear on his

position or all along. and actually, i think there was a very symbolic imagery when he arrived at the presidential palace earlier today, he was received in grand pomp and then the turkish president stopped, looked at the parade there and said, slab, oh great, you know, which means glory, you're a crane i think that says a very strong message on where he stands when it comes to this crisis. the problem is he is a nato member. and so at the suit employed, he is also in a difficult position because he does enjoy job. he does enjoy a good relations with russia even though they don't agree on certain files, for example, on syria and olivia, but jerky would like to keep that relationship. why going ahead with this relationship or with you? great. and being an aide to member the 2nd largest army of ne does,

is it certainly a very important position there. we was asked to lead. unsung sushi is facing new charges in court. she's already been sentenced to 6 years and attention. now this case could now lead to her complete removal from public life. tony chang has more. as she voted in 20 twenty's election, it would have been hard for anson to cheat, predict her greatest political success would lead to her downfall. since last he has qu in myanmar, she has been detained in isolation, only appearing in court to face charges that may lead to years in prison. what is said, none. the less senior members of her party believe she still has a major role to play period. she will have to do more and more for democracy and for obama. yeah, i'm now approaching 58. she is $76.00, but she is much healthier than me. but the events of the past year have shown that

uncensored she's policy of engaging the military didn't work. she even went so far as to defend, the arm is violent. crack down against the ringer, that last many supporters on the global stage, while that didn't punish her reputation at home. it also failed to stop the generals of seizing control and her kind. the majority of the people on the stand that, you know, answered she was trying her a compromise solution compromised approach shoe, and as far as appeasing the military in power. ah, but of course that fav, it's very hard to get a sense of public opinion inside mamma. with the military arresting people for their political beliefs. but here in the tie bought a town of methyl, there's a lot excelled community and a variety of opinions about the woman, simply known as the lady. me who i want own santucci to be released. said that

things can change. well m o and our holiday. i wanna, i want new people to take over these positions because she is too old and those people should be young like us. her test is continued to take to the streets, risking their lives to oppose military rule and calling for new men, mar, freed, from the constraints of the past. all of this is happening without uncensored she, if a, when she is released, she may find herself in a much diminished ro, matoney, josephina from bank corker. and we just got ready this news at this court appearances happening a potentially the next few hours. i mean what, what we know about the charges being put before her was she was going to be facing charges of her, of the going against the state secrets act yesterday. that hearing was postponed because she was said to be unwell, suffering from disease,

dizziness and nausea after her, the journey from the place where she was being kept in secret to the court in the capitol naperville. we're not sure she's going to be attending court today. her lawyers who we spoke to earlier this morning said they hoped to see her, but said they couldn't be sure of the stage. they're only allowed 30 minutes with, with her before the start of proceedings up. but the big focus today was going to be on corruption charges, new challenges announced on state television against her last night. think many people see these as trumped up charges. the military went through the books at her party headquarters and her home very, very closely after the military qu, they haven't yet print, produced any evidence a toll of corruption her. but nonetheless, she is facing 11 charges now, which could potentially lead to sentencing ever more than a 150 years. and i think many people say this is an attempt by the military

government. he's somebody who has an assured track record of winning at the polls are out for the foreseeable future. and given her age at 76, that could be for a very long time, 20 chignon forest banks to be update. tony still had his old al jazeera west african leaders hold an emergency summit with a warning that democracy is in crisis across the region. and back in business, bali reopened to all foreign visitors. after nearly 2 years of pandemic restrictions, those stories after the break ah look forward to brighter skies the weather sponsored by kettle airways. that when you stop, the wind is tangier, cuz sometimes you get seasonal cold winds. so for example, down the gulf,

resignations ah, basically be being presented by lawless, the prime minister, as part of this big, clear routes that he promised of the downing street operation following the su gray report. but i have to say it doesn't seem like he's in control of these resignations at the moment and there's a sense that these are people leaving a sinking ship dominant cummings, of course no friends of the prime minister, his former aid. now arch enemy tweeted earlier on the day, it's the mistaken signal that the bunker is collapsing and this prime minister is finished. the 1st minister of north island has resigned because of post bricks. it customs tracks on goods crossing from the rest of the u. k. his party, which usually aligns itself with prime minister. both johnson's government has routinely criticized the terms of the deal with the european union. our institutions are being tested once again and the delicate balance created by the
