union. ingenius. this is d w news live from but a turkish that forces say they have seized to send to all of syria's afraid off to a lightning advance against a kurdish militia in the city under ads of thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes and observers say the battles nobs over yes those are coming up russians go to the polls to pick a new president that he made putin is expected to easily win a force to have in all faces but can he mobilize voters turned off by the predictability of the context. sometimes i mean it will have to wait another week

to wrap up the bundesliga title box office that closest rivals shall come by became both fuck the world leaders last could have put the americans just three points away from their stake in successive championship we'll have all of the action from getting. five hundred home free in but in thanks for joining me and we start with just some breaking news turkey's president wants his turkish led forces have taken complete control of the center of affray in town in northern syria. oh well this is what you just said to show syrian rebels backed by turkey ensuring our freedom this morning they've been trying to take the town as part of a two month offensive against kurdish fighters that ankara says linked to

terrorists in turkey more than fifteen hundred turkish fighters are should have been killed in the operation and over one hundred fifty thousand civilians have been forced to leave their homes. well journalist of let him have unveiled his monitoring the situation from the kodesh city of it been in northern iraq vladimir explain to us exactly what is happening right now in a free. what yesterday and a day before most of it was there are still some civilians and nothing and today turkish backed rebels thirty and thirty three and i think in the hospital and they also have taken the building the local administration building so it seems that the battle is over but on till now there is no official statement just of the kurts some say there are still kurdish fighters inside three and with those turkish backed rebels that in africa what can we expect now to happen in that area.

we have already seen videos of thought turkish backed rebels. mistreating civilians so it's really going to be difficult to see because a lot of severe loss and i would be adopted many of them will soon return because they're afraid of repercussions especially those that were using to support kurdish fire sources in the demonstrations they are afraid to go bark so a lot of cars are actually afraid of graphic changes in our stream because they're afraid that they're killed bring in. civilians from other areas from our affairs so to me you say that they're afraid to go back for those who have fled do we know where they've gone. there's two show villages close to us three in the there's according to some reports around hundred fifty thousand civilians there some of them they want to go to aleppo but the sharon government doesn't allow that so they don't have really a lot of options on those they go to other kurdish leaders in other parts of

northern syria like obama york on the until now and there are most of them are afraid to go bark but we have seen shelling strikes in affray no everybody is prepared to leave some people trying to hold on to some people staying yeah i don't know there's still a very small amount of civilians and i think city and then some civilians are in some villages. there are some calls actually from from the kurdish leadership they're calling on kurds to go back to their villages because they're afraid of these demographic changes but i think it's doubtful that most of those civilians will return but there are still some small number of civilians inside i think city and some civilians until it is around i think this is a tough question that is they any end in sight to this conflict well depends on what the americans are going to do that goes out on this front and to take all the area all the way through the record border so if there are concerns

stop the turkish i think on monday which then this conflict is not going to end and we'll see a much more displacement say what type of then go which is not enough free and it's called also happened in other kurdish cities if america and international community doesn't stop turkey from france in for john has to vent a failed thank you for your insights. so russia now and voting is underway in the country's presidential elections eight candidates all in the running but president vladimir putin is expected to secure a victory and his fourth term in office now putin himself has already cost his ballot in moscow none of his seven challenges are considered a serious threat opinion polls suggesting that putin could take around seventy percent of the votes now russian election monitoring group says a growing number of workers in the country have complained that employers are pressuring them to vote. let's bring in our
