a president or want to invade northern syria has put the united states in a tough situation given our relationship with our nato ally turkey who has fought alongside the united states in the past and president trump is threatening sanctions. if turkey does something that they shouldn't be doing we will put on sanctions the likes of which very few countries if ever see now the u.s. is backpedaling that troops are still on patrol a few kilometers from the conflict zone as and they evacuated just days ago they've also come under fire from turkish artillery although with no reported injuries. this is c.c.t.v. footage of a large camp holding tens of thousands of family members of islamic state militants and it shows an apparent escape attempt the campus controlled by kurdish forces and they say the situation is critical and in the kurdish town of kemi she a car bomb claimed by us. took us president richard typo to when has lashed out at the u.s. is criticism i have no doubt so we won't stop no matter what anyone says. he says

taking place right now now the security situation here in the border area on the turkish side as well is very tense and there have been warnings for journalists to so that's why we moved a little further away today now the turkish defense ministry says that the turkish on the and its allies have captured the syrian border town arrested and i am in northeast syria this is a city of about 50000 people that's an estimation here they have been trying to do so in the past days by in circling the city and now at that has been and that has been that's important to mention one of the 1st main targets now they have apparently managed to do so we saw some video footage all backed syrian opposition fighters inside the industrial area overdress ion and we know that in the city center so they are inside the city right now kurdish forces have earlier denied that the turkish army is allies have captured. but it seems right now clashes that

are continuing so that's on the syrian side how is this operation affecting people on the on the turkish side where you are. well the atmosphere here is very intense there have been a number of reprisal attacks from the syrian side moore says rockets was sent over into turkish border towns there have been several civilian casualties here on the turkish side we just heard yesterday went to a village very close by where people had a funeral for 2 people who were killed in an attack yesterday people were crying they were desperate it was really painful to watch these scenes and we've also talked to people here in sorrow which is as i mentioned also very close to the syrian border let's listen to what they had to say. through people are caught in the middle why are we fighting in syria and our people here on the turkish side so for 2 just yesterday 2 or 3 people died in

a place very close to here to pity what is this fight for. work and. this is our government's fault they got us into this very bad situation why did they do this what's it all for nothing. you know that you need to help our soldiers and make their mission easy to help our state. along with those concerns there are some serious worries about those captured islamic state fighters escaping from kurdish presence. well that's true and the kurdish forces there have been warning about this from the very beginning they are saying basically you know if we have busy defending this area against a turkish military assault we won't have time to deal with the captured isis fighters they are holding isis fighters in makeshift prisons and the families and children of these fighters in camps so huge come silva

a couple of tens of thousands of people and there have been some very warring reports about apparent breakout at times not everything that's coming from the cutter site there is something that we can in the pan than the concert by all accounts from what we hear from the other side of the border that the situation in these camps right now seems to be pretty chaotic now what about the 3rd country involved here the united states has been warning about severe economic sanctions how are those threats being received. well these are the threats coming from washington then there has also been international criticism from the european union the nato also. turkey to show restraint now the turkish government is absolutely not happy about this criticism they say this is a legitimate security operation we are defending national security here against a terrorism threat so they don't want to hear criticism they expect solidarity from

their international partners and that's my impression here as well on the turkish side of the border criticism is something that is not being tolerated that's something nobody one stor here that's why people we're talking to are there a castle and what they tell us. correspondent with the latest between turkey and syria thanks very much. well the turkish offensive in syria has sparked protests worldwide from the kurdish community including here in germany peter is at a demonstration in the western city of cologne germany is the country actually with the largest kurdish diaspora wants are there demands what are you hearing from them today. yes i spoke to some of the protests that said you can see right here behind me from that kurdish minority in germany thousands have taken to the streets today far thousands here in cologne and many more 1000 in major german cities and what

they are asking for is they told me we want more international solidarity we want government to step up the pressure on president add on off turkey on to hold this invasion off northern syria that's a mind amount and also for the german government they have i have asked for a hold to export off weapons from germany to turkey and all of those demands being heard by the german government we heard news of the of weapons exports being stocks now in terms of going to turkey. yes absolutely that seems to be some movement there see these government seems to have taken that step but as you said the foreign minister has announced that there won't be any new permits for weapon exports for weapons said could be used by turkey in syria so there seems to be something going on there behind the scenes in the german government so far but they had done was only to condemn this attack to say they want to turkey to hold on but

this in should be the 1st step in that direction germany of course also with a large turkish population are you seeing a movement in support of this invasion and germany. ran out is that yes it's hard to understand you because people here are chanting they're chanting their support for the militias the kurdish militias in northern syria and they're. demming add on president of turkey what i can tell you about the turkish community in germany about 3000000 people off turkish origin living in germany or turks living in germany and this protest march like 15 minutes ago past turkish cologne and you could feel the tension the turkish people working inside. about it but it was clear from the outside you could tell there was tension and that is always the fear here in germany that there might be a conflict between the turks and the kurdish people as said it has repercussions

here in germany want to be used in cologne for us thank you very much. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world the tropical saya clone haga business has made landfall in japan after being upgraded to a category 5 super typhoon at least 2 people are now dead and 3 others missing heavy rains and winds have been lashing tokyo and meteorologists say that the typhoon could be the most dangerous in more than 60 years. thousands of protesters have marched once again in hong kong against a ban on face masks at demonstrations and you covered their faces despite the threats of up to one year in prison demonstrators to find police warnings that they were gathering illegally while a group of pensioners supporting the protests began a sit in at police headquarters to condemn all these violence. the u.s. and china have agreed on a partial trade deal according to u.s. president trump that means the u.s. is spending plans to increase tariffs on about $250000000000.00 of chinese exports
