6:04 pm
according to both of the and the finance they have been trying to take control from each other. we have been conflicting claims of responses of control over the deb. it's a partial area because for thousands and thousands of people in that area that, that provides not just more to but also sort of electricity. and both sides are adamant that they want to take the them without destroying the facility. that because it will effect for people in the area. so it is a flash point. it is something that took us these as an exist engine issue. we heard from that, i'm gonna shut off the new data here, talking about how in unified chain of command will ensure that they only fight as will carry weapons. are under the ministry of defense on the curtis for forces. they have the f on the west and bank of the faith. these are not part of that. the if you've heard from the lead them as the of the, in his interviews to other edits and outlets where he's talked about maintaining a line of communication with the new leadership here in damascus. but still have

6:06 pm
there's an ontology code problem and they are different. and it is not only the y p g that represents the kurdish community within syria. it is for sure that the kurds have been denied. they are identified the syrian government, bashar assad, and his father is redeem. for many years they haven't even been given any identity cars. but however, the courage ends at the 11 by the y p g, the spied other up position. curtis factions in syria, they want a decentralized government and its limits. it's ultimate in their own region, but to kids stays, the cards are really it. they should be freely moving back to their so there's like offering and other places that are liberates of a, from the syrian government forces. the bashar thought forces about and then to, to lead by the y p g, which is equal to the p k. k is impossible. enter kit is promise thing for
6:07 pm
a said that is without what it's called terrorism in syria and it took you back to that way. okay, so 1st of all, the report of them is stumble. searcy. yes, and i'm thank you. or so the curtis led syrian democratic forces supported by the us controls, key areas of eastern syria, including oil fields, led by the curtis peoples protection units, an error of fighters, the staff, dismantled idols, last stronghold, and luck. a city in eastern syria in 2017. it controls parts of a level and a quarter of cereal. 900 us troops are stations in its territory to help prevent the resurgence of iso anchor considers the sds curtis factions to be terrorist groups, allegedly link to the curtis on workers party that's banned in turkey. a earlier we spoke to manhattan, that's a noun who's an assistant professor and critical security studies at the doha institute for graduate studies. he says they are in groups that disbanded in syria, will have to be provided incentives to remain as part of
6:08 pm
a single national army. so what we see now is the former, on the, the former see, or the of the a said region is handed in its weapons to the new lea. a formed government to feel like the transitional government or temporary government. and this will, will shape the army. now we have a militia taking control of the government. this isn't on you. there are many uh, historical precedents. if we compare it to their rock, i think the syrian new region is looking at the rocky experience and what they have done this bonding and i have the number of these syrian soldiers just before the collapse of the subdivision is nearly 250000 members. and so disbanding, these people might prove to be a child. and just liking the rock, disbanding the rocky army resulted in the resistance. and many of the are the resistance members where
6:09 pm
a member of before little rocky on me. because also they found themselves without salaries and you know, they lost their prestige and all the other privileges. so the see then you'll see what an army will depend on to me. in fact, it was the 1st is the type of the political game that is here. we are going to have . and the 2nd is, um, are they going to be, you know, the box, the size, the, the syrian army, are they going to disband the army altogether? or are they going to be integrated into a new modem you after that are looking at on the point that you mentioned of what kind of regime is emerging always seeing civilian oversight being institutionalized in these early stages of the armies development on your reading. know yet uh actually it's too early now to, to, to see because even the current political actors who, where uh, just a few weeks back. um melisha, members,

6:40 pm
is probably violated international humanitarian law. how do you think they would have reached this conclusion? and what sorts of evidence would they have been looking for? or if you interfere with the basic necessities of life, and the way that russia is clearly doing was because it's in the winter. so people can die of hypothermia or native mountain nutrition. then yes, of course, it's a war crime. and everything that russia is doing is all crime. so we've got to stop being gentle with them about the nature of the school isn't on role for, is being conducted in a generally and role for away criminal way to deprive holes neighborhoods areas, pots at this very large country. ok, of its power supply is to do primary duty centrals of life. it's a little crack. and of course, i mean, the russian response, the russians do say that the power infrastructure is
6:41 pm
a legitimate military target and they dismiss any sort of charges as irrelevant. but when, when such reports are put out by this un monitoring mission, what are its potential implications? i don't know, but festival russia would say that wouldn't say we can take little account does. that means not nothing in real terms. but when the us puts out a report like this, it should be of driving supposing countries to do even more to assist you. okay. in order to the ukraine kind of cheese, the victory a cox. oh, here we found out. so it was an interesting dilemma. as i understand it, president zalinski has applied for peace. for robert, for peace negotiations, it has yet to be revealed. and so we don't know how he sees peace for the rest of us. the people who, being fortunate enough to live in peace, knocked us off of buttons coming on to our characters,
