right now to talk about that i'm joined by keenan gabriele he is the spokesman for the s d f that's the kurdish forces in syria welcome to the program tell me what are your people experiencing right now. hello good evening we'll there is lot of. chaos and i think there is not fear specially in the areas that have been. tried and shared by the turkish army during the last few hours we have several casualties several kid and others wounded mostly from the civilian population and. i think that created a lot of fear among the people about the gain in other areas little bit far from the border. the life continues as it was and there are a lot of people who are trying to support those in the border cities and towns and
8:46 pm
everyone is trying to work everything together in order to pass this period of time of peace. that we are facing though he tell me if you can't you know these airstrikes that are coming from turkey what are they targeting i mean what is being hit. we really don't know what what they are trying to target but mostly they are targeting civilian populated areas mostly neighborhoods in the cities and the towns where the borders. that is why i mean gerri kill off the casualties from the civilian people so we don't know what they are what they want. shelling to get within a site each city what is going to be in for for them so we are still more interesting to ation and we are. so far we haven't not responded against those
8:47 pm
attacks made by turkey and we are waiting for what is going to happen in the next few hours will be i want to ask you in terms of the airstrikes that are taking place but there were reports that earlier today that you asked the international community. to ensure a no fly zone over the areas where you are where the kurdish population is in northern syria did you get any answer from that request and let me ask you did you ask the united states to provide that no fly zone. will last mr asian of the north and east syria we have requested that and we have also requested the safe area or safe zone on the border basically about. guarding the no fly zone it didn't happen and i don't think that there was any program or benefit for the international coalition to do so because we were already
8:48 pm
on the ground here. as fathers for the same story have already ordered an agreement with the united states. we assess if we apply to the points requested from us and. that's a disappointed that the united states took the decision to withdraw its forces from this agreement mainly from the border area with the agreement was taking place 'd so that that decision was i think many of the green light for turkey or for to get to start this operation to get north of the syria it would do you do you blame the americans for what is happening right now would be do you say that you're expecting. some type of combat with turkish forces to happen within our
8:49 pm
words do you blame the americans for what is about to happen. we basically we said we disappointed about that decision we know that the turkeys. and the life for us and it is bottles nato about but again as i said little bit before we have reached an agreement maybe it was directed by the united states and took it. with our people that were. condition with us busy and that that decision was or that agreement was to maintain the security for the border area and to close to several points including some of them where. across from the u.s. in that border area but apparently i think that the turkey didn't accept it and maybe it used several cards to push the u.s.
8:50 pm
government in order to allow it to. take these actions so we don't know about the game we are we were angry and we were confused by this a good decision for the next few hours we had to see it more more shipping and more strikes in preparation for. 4 or more for more troops from the turkish side to cross into syria i think that basically we have let's say we have started the war or the battle between us and. i think it is going to get more dangerous and more. more hard during the next few days well you know there was a report out today that your forces are we have to let you know people watching know that where you are is where many of the camps many of the prisons are located that housed the captured former isis fighters and their wives and their children
8:51 pm
we're talking about tens of thousands of isis members there you are. in charge of maintaining the prisons maintaining the camps the report came out today that the kurds would no longer guarantee the maintenance or the safety of those camps now that turkey has moved in with its assault can you confirm that so are you going to let these isis prisoners go free if you have to fight against the turks will they would like to fight this point. it's not only a war against because the syrian forces. a looks like we just lost our signal there with you know god he was these folks with the s.d.s. this the kurdish forces in northern syria they are talking with us about what he
8:52 pm
says is now a wooer with turkey are you want to return now to that top story that we have been following for you germany's interior ministry tonight is calling today's shooting in eastern germany and anti-semitic attack 2 people were killed in the city of hala when an attacker opened fire outside of a synagogue and at a nearby shop authorities say the gunman also tried to force his way into the synagogue where worshipers were gathered for yahoo for the holiest day in the jewish calendar he threw explosives we understand near the synagogues entrance molotov cocktails police have arrested the man german media saying that it is a 27 year old white german man with a white extremist background. all right on the ground forces in a holiday as my colleague karl karl what's the latest now we've got and as i was
8:53 pm
just saying we've got the german interior minister saying that this was indeed an anti semitic attack. right in fact he is calling it that and he's on his way here tomorrow horses they off will be here beating with the jewish community leaders and as you heard from him i mean he really did come out and label this as an anti-semitic attack from throughout most of the day we did not know what that motive might be you can see behind me there is still a strong police presence here although not as strong as earlier in the day they are blocking the streets behind there is where that synagogue is and where the kabab shop is as well in fact authorities here are calling this situation a rampage that's how much of a terrorist or a scary situation this really was earlier today you mentioned 2 people killed and 2 others seriously wounded it could have been a lot worse friends of this suspected attacker did try to gain entrance to the
8:54 pm
synagogue and as you mentioned this is yom kapoor the holiest day on the jewish calendar and in fact that's the day when there will be many people in jewish synagogues across the country and across the world there were some 70 to 80 or shot for his reportedly and that synagogue and there's only around $800.00 jewish people in the community here in hollis about 10 percent of the community wasn't facts there at that synagogue now we're hearing authorities and people in the german government calling this an anti-semitic attack that is what we know so far but we do not know though the exact motive from the attacker you mentioned some of the details but of course we are not able to confirm any of that at this time and you know karl we heard from a security analyst this evening that today's attack had a lot of the hallmarks of that christ church massacre in new zealand that with that happened earlier this year one of the hallmarks of course was a gunman who had some type of mini cam attached to his body that was live streaming
8:55 pm
the event and that was what was happening today as well wasn't. it was and we had 1st seen some photos and some videos leaked on social media of that potential attacker and we did see some sort of camera we saw a helmet and some sort of recording device at least what looked like a recording device and that appears to be now confirmed as we've seen some video being leaked online and perhaps even streamed live online of that attack it very much reminds us of what happens in christ's church as another attack was streamed online in fact it's really becoming a worrying trend where you see these sorts of live video being broadcast whether it's on a platform like facebook or twitch or twitter periscope or people lone attackers might commit some sort of act of terror or go around with the weapons and attack others and stream it online and that appears to be what happened here today as well
8:56 pm
