rights for goes to a trio of scientists for the. oxygen cells and oxygen levels in cells just like to use transfusion fighting. the disease. i'm filled to hell welcome to the program the united states does not support or plans to incursion into northern syria that's according to a senior state department official who said he would not make the region more secure the statement comes out of u.s. forces are reportedly withdrawing from the area clearing the way for a long planned turkish offensive against kurdish fighters in the region. leaving in a hurry american troops started pulling out of syria within hours of the official announcement. they leave behind them empty bases near the turkish border bases that

had been a guarantee of safety for kurdish forces u.s. president donald trump abruptly canceled that guaranteed by tweet the kurds fought with us but were paid massive amounts of money and equipment to do so they have been fighting turkey for decades it is time for us to get out of these ridiculous endless wars many of them tribal and bring our soldiers home u.s. troops were in syria to support kurdish forces in the fight against the so-called islamic state but turkey has long resented the presence of kurdish paramilitaries near its border it considers them terrorists kurdish groups in the region have protested the move they feel abandoned by the u.s. and they fear a turkish invasion is imminent. i had the this green light the trump gave her the one will actually complicate the crisis in the region. so it will provide islamic states with an

opportunity to regenerate and control areas such as russia and terrorism were again at the. turkish president wretch of tayyip erdogan gave the kurds a stark warning that suited the means there is a phrase that we always say we can come any night without warning. and our determination remains because it is absolutely out of the question for us to further tolerate the threats from these terrorist groups the international community has raised serious concerns when you would arm for stupidity in the north east will not only exacerbate civilian suffering can lead to massive displacement but when or so re scsi theory on their mining current political efforts in the tree as you know support there are 6000000 displaced people inside syria more than 5 and a half 1000000 refugees in the neighboring countries it's

a conflict that has gone on for far too long and therefore any operation that takes place at the moment has to take into account to ensure that we don't see any further displacement i think it's on the ground in syria kurds are waiting for the next blow to fall in a region that's seen its share of misery and violence already. straight to washington then why we joined the w correspondent to all of us welcome all over wise president from doing this now. well phil president trump is under severe pressure as a result of the ongoing impeachment inquiry against him and we are nearing the 2020 election campaign so that combination puts him under even more pressure what he urgently needs right now is successes in foreign policy and he hasn't had many of those so far and what is essentially trying to do here is to deliver on one of his core election promises of 2016 which is of course to withdraw american troops from

international crises and conflicts and wars such as in syria that is something that he can achieve very easily was simply unilaterally deciding to pull his troops out of there he is also stressed that he believes that isis is defeated he's received lots of criticism criticism over that position here in another very important aspect for president trump at least is the financial situation whatever it takes to twitter the stresses how much money the kurdish forces have received and how expensive it is to detain isis fighters over the years and that now all the turkish turkey and the european partners would have to take care of this and he took his decision against pentagon advice. now that's right in the pentagon today in fact warned of the destabilizing consequences of a military action there in north and syria and that's nothing new in fact even in 2018 when he decided and announced for the 1st time in fact to pull out of syria
