davies darren johns daryn there has been much criticism of this offensive also from arab states the kurds are saying they simply can't and won't prioritize guarding i asked detainees in the face of this incursion what does that mean for security in the region well it's going to be a major problem given the fact the syrian kurdish forces are responsible for over 10000 islamic state militants in jihad this and tens of thousands of other sympathizers and family members held in detention centers all across this area which is increasingly becoming a war zone but the problem for the kurdish forces is it is requiring a lot of forces expertise forces that are to protect these areas and they need those now to fight this turkish invasion but the syrian kurdish forces will also be aware that if these judges do escape they could open up a 2nd front against these kurdish forces and we've already seen this happening the few people have a skate from a prison that was hit by

a turkish airstrike and they then carried out attacks on those kurdish forces so there is a major dilemma there but adding to the growing international concern will also be these reports of videos now circulating showing forces allegedly linked to the turkish operation executing kurdish fighters who have been held in detained we also have reports of kurdish a civilian. official political official a woman's right activists who were according to multiple groups executed last night with several others took should fishel to knowing this but this will all add to the mounting concern over this operation internationally turkey has reacted with defiance to the criticism foreign minister told that he would not bankroll would not be deterred let's take a listen to what he had to say. initiated him this is a vital matter for us human it's a question of national security of survival whatever they do whether it's an arms

embargo or something else it's only strengthens us what 15 years ago we produced only 20 percent of the goods we needed now it's over 70 percent with all of this only strengthens us. if i only took notice of whether someone wanted to impose an arms embargo or what someone else was saying and then did not destroy an imminent threat and i would face even bigger problems in the future and in fact case even if germany supplied us with more weapons this fight to be more difficult if not impossible even if our allies support us terrorist organization even if we stand alone even if a impose an arms embargo it doesn't matter we are fighting a terrorist organization and we will not relent. to that so turkey remaining determined there despite warnings from its allies. absolutely and in fact the turkish foreign minister is just echoing what the turkish president

regev type heard on has been saying he's saying that we will not back down to any pressure this is very much a fight for the future of this turkey and the security of this country and this really is a priority for turkish president heard what he needs not only to secure our border security but he also wants to return back millions of syrian refugees which is a key priority for the turkish president and it has to be said that turkey has built up a very large indigenous military supplies and. abilities to supply its own military so these arms embargoes really will not have an effect certainly not in the short term but the big concern will in ankara will be financial sanctions in particular from the united states they will be watching very carefully in the days ahead in washington whether they are hit by international economic sanctions that will hurt you and as well as the political side there is of course the humanitarian side kurds are fleeing the area obviously where are they going and who's helping them. well that's

a big concern well over 100000 displaced possibly approaching 200000 this area fighting is home to nearly half a 1000000 people and there is a big concern where do they go they do not know where safety is now the fact that this operation is increasingly deepening and in fact most of the operation is eventually going do include most of the inhabited areas the only other places people can go into is the arid desert beyond and the big concern among among humanitarian groups is how do we supply hundreds of thousands of people in such a difficult conditions. for any stumble thank you very much. turning now to some other stories making news around the world polls are voting for a new parliament today the incumbent conservative nationalist lauren justice party was ahead in pray election surveys and he's hoping for an absolute majority the party presents itself as the defender of traditional catholic values against what it calls l.g. painting ideology. ecuador's army has taken to the streets to enforce the country's
