5:06 pm
and the 400 russian system is widely considered as one of the best in the world although i have spoken to a former senior military officer who makes a point he said that turkey a nato member says that this missile system is incompatible with all of turkey's other nato military systems and he says that their defense is particularly dependent on interoperability so there is big question mark what other factors are driving this in another key factor is tokyo deepening relationship with russia 2 countries have been markedly improving ties president reject type heard one has built up a very close relationship with the russian president vladimir putin and this is 400 missile deal he's seen a solidifying those deepening ties and adding to only further concerns among take turkey's nato allies turkey is of course and nato member as you just said just how much damage has this contentious done to their relations with a bloc as a whole and the us maybe in particular. well nato has issued
5:07 pm
a statement voicing concern over the delivery of these missiles stressing concerns over compatibility and what it says are the consequences of this deal but beyond that it's not just a compatibility issue the russian missile system has a very advanced some powerful radar system and the fear among nato allies is that their defense systems could be compromised by this powerful system of backdoor into turkey into nato systems and the u.s. have said one of the reasons is that this deal goes through that they will not allow the sending of its latest effort to fight military jet fighter jet which is heavily reliant on stealth technology which he says the russian system could compromise on top of that turkey's being frozen out of the consortium building this jet if this deal goes through but but also it is seen that the most boring fact is further sanctions from congress over this messiah to see if they could devastate turkey's a commie but turkey is looking to its turkish president's relationship with the
5:08 pm
u.s. president donald trump to so stop any of those sanctions being introduced remains to be seen by the trunk will invest heavy political capital standing up to congress over this missile deal daryn jones and i said well thank you very much. saddam's ruling military 2 council claims to have foiled an attempted coup by members of the army and intelligence services said to have taken place late on thursday joining the final negotiations of the power sharing deal agreed between the council and civilian pro-democracy activists senior general jamal omar abraham says at least 16 rebel soldiers have been rounded up and that the coup attempt was an effort to hinder the transition to democracy sudan has seen massive protests and bloody crackdown by the military since the former dictator omar al bashir was toppled in april. let's bring in now pfizer a reporter based in khartoum mr salif do we actually know by now if there was
5:09 pm
a plot to actually be bullies who then they don't really. believe in what they need to because he used to say this is all of the force. who military coup or tent that was announced by the military council and the feeling here. we will never the military council want to share their history and that they are really. the shooters of the people and the continue to be safe. for the military council to be in power so the key these attempts from time to time they said this is the 3rd or the 4th and there was not any tribe there was no name as usual so i don't think that we would trust what the themes he had announced last night the timing seems crucial here news about the attempted coup just days after the military council has come to an agreement over

impose some complicated and expensive challenges. but 1st to levanon where some of the camps housing more than 1000000 syrian refugees in the country have been declared illegal residents have even been forced to demolish their homes lebanon has taken in more syrian refugees than any other country relative to its population now many of them are on the move again. it's back breaking work in scorching heat. and his neighbors demolished the roofs under which they've lived for 6 years the refugees from syria have to tear down their huts using only their hands and a few simple tools. the trash and i'm very angry i've lived here since 2013 and within a span of 2 weeks they've decided that everything has to be demolished it's very hard for us i have diabetes and see all 113 huts in this refugee camp
5:15 pm
near us all are set to be destroyed a decision made by the lebanese government to stone buildings are deemed illegal and must now be removed as quickly as possible. because your. soldiers come by and tell us to hurry up that many of the refugees have illnesses or suffer from depression sun comes across their legs we have nothing here. were fled bombings in the syrian city of homs with his wife and 3 children here the 60 year old grandfather and his family found refuge a room a kitchen a toilet and a roof over their heads the family was grateful but is now all the more shocked following the demolition order. yet in my whole being in the light we are just crushed by the news that they want us out we were safe here but what should we do now is just as hard as when we had to leave syria thought i was then in the way that i can never get my own. has been hit hard by the influx of refugees the quiet
5:16 pm
border town took in $120000.00 syrians 3 times its own population to run down electricity and water supply is close to collapse the local schools only have space for 3000 pupils but there are 12000 children many locals worry about their jobs but that. the syrians i've been in many businesses that competed without and i lost my job as a result. it was a majority of our beach disposal schools and clinics already and didn't function properly before the war that these problems have grown with the arrival of the refugees. well. he says he understands these concerns and is willing to implement the expensive eviction order but he calls it manipulative and aimed at forcing the refugees back to their
5:17 pm
homes. creases the pressure on the city council the refugees the ide organizations but it doesn't fix any of the problems at all. so far none of the refugees have left they fear persecution in syria but life in this camp will only get harder for them now. and his family have been told to move into a tent made of toppled and plastic electricity and running water have not been connected yet it offers little shelter from the summer heat and the bitterly cold winter. for more on the situation i'm joined now by bill frelich the refugee rights director at human rights watch mr felling thanks for taking the time to talk to us devastating accounts coming out of lebanon there you know the situation on the ground very well what's next for the refugees that are still. you know i've spent the last month with the refugees watching them dismantle their own homes that's
5:18 pm
a really heartbreaking thing to watch firsthand and they have the deadline was july 1st and basically now the lebanese army will go in and actually destroy demolish completely those shelters that don't meet their requirements which basically means that they have to be about waist high they can have 5 cinder blocks height but beyond that it's supposed to be soft which means canvas plastic sheeting and so they're looking immediately to whether they will keep their dismantlement will have complied with these codes these housing codes that have been in the fact for years and then of course looking ahead to the winter the prospect of living in these flimsy shelters and now with the harsh conditions to come. can you tell us how many people are affected by these new measures will the shelters in our soul
5:19 pm
itself the number of affected there is somewhere between 3504000 shelters bear in mind that these families are pretty big so you know that could involve as many as 15000 children and the order actually applies nationwide so we saw it being a part of the bekaa valley as well and other places we don't really have good statistics on this the government hasn't been particularly transparent about it and the refugees themselves in some cases don't know whether what they've done complies with these orders which are not written as well we just heard the mayor of ourselves they say he is against this order he doesn't believe it will still any of the city's problems why did the lebanese government go ahead with it. well i think that these are pressures that are coming from the president from the foreign minister basically are intended to tell refugees that they're no longer welcome and that it's time for them to go home so this is one of the series of measures we've
5:20 pm
seen of refugees from units of how these curfews raids on camps there's a crackdown on people entering the country without permission and for some married deportations and there's also the just beginning now a crackdown on people working in shops where they're limited in the jobs that they're actually allowed to hold under the labor laws and so in the same way that old housing codes are being brought to bear now at this time we're going to be seeing i think in the weeks to come the enforcement of longstanding labor codes as well. so the refugees are being pressured to return to syria but can they. no and this is what we've found is a human rights organization that even of bullets are flying in all parts of the country the assad regime the still is in control and many of these people
5:21 pm
