which is 2 wood says this direction now the turkish military the artillery has been targeting the area with fresh shelling today we can clearly hear the sound of the pounding now on the other side on the syrian side you have the town of taleb yet which besides russell i know is one of the other main targets of this turkish offensive most of the people there have reportedly fled the area but we do expect heavy clashes and more fighting today over there in the tile on the other hand we have reports of more attacks coming from the syrian side to the turkish border areas just earlier 3 rockets and mortars have reportedly hit actually color the place where we all right now ambulances have been rushing to the locations at least 18 people have died in the past days here on the turkish side in these apparent

reprisal attacks so the security situation is very tense here on the turkish side as well a tense situation there and there has been a lot of criticism all of this offensive also from arab states as we've been reporting some allies have begun stopping weapon sales to turkey but ankara same's undeterred prior to the embargo turkey's foreign minister maverick cush of all who spoke today w and he had this to say. this is a vital for us 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 if i only took notice of whether someone wanted to impose an arms embargo so when i was with you i'm vended not destroy imminent threat and i would face even bigger problems in the future. here we are 10 back to you some determined words there coming out of turkey. that was before the embargo is took place have we heard from any response from ankara since

those embargoes. there haven't been any immediate reactions about turkish officials in the past days have reacted quite angrily to sanctions threats to calls for restraint from international partners because they are saying this operation for them is a security operation to push back what they call are terrorists from their borders they're saying the kurdish militants over there are linked to the p.k. that has waged a decades long insurgency here in turkey and insurgency that has killed thousands of people so that's what ankara respond there are no signs of relenting here they seem to be very determined to go on to continue with this operation that's of course a huge political side there is a humanitarian side to this story as well kurds are fleeing the area where are they going and who's supporting them. well according to aid organizations
