turkey on wednesday now this comes after the us slapped economic sanctions on ankara from launching an attack on the kurds in north eastern syria president troops decision to withdraw military forces from syria has left a dangerous vacuum syrian government forces have returned to the area for the 1st time in years after striking a deal with the kurds they're trying to stop turkey's attack on kurdish forces and russia syria's ally is also stepping into the void left by u.s. troops. the syrian town of ras al-ain pounded by turkish it to reach across the border. to weaken to turkey's offensive in northern syria fighting still rages here to push back to syrian militias seen here of battling kurdish fighters who are counterattacking to retake the time. the turkish onslaught has left the kurdish autonomous administration in northern syria little

choice but to turn to the assad regime for help. syrian government troops have pushed forward to stop the turkish advance. they have reached the city of man bage a strategic town situated on a major highway. syrian state television was on the ground as local celebrated the troops arrival. russian troops have also been spotted in the town and the russian foreign ministry says it's just have created a buffer between the syrian and turkish armies to avoid a direct confrontation. it's moscow that has gained most from the withdrawal of u.s. troops and the subsequent turkish attack. the deal between the kurds and moscow's ally are sad gives russia access to northern syria previously under us way. as washington's influence wanes russian president vladimir putin the striding the

regional stage after a visit to saudi arabia he was received by abu dhabi's crown prince mohammed bin ziad on choose day. the us have imposed sanctions while the european union imposed a limited funds and bargo on cherokee german chancellor angela merkel on monday called for an end to fighting. it uphill from another thoughts from i have already said from my side that we believe that with all the justified security interests this offensive should be ended because it is visibly causing a lot of human suffering and it's also bringing a lot of uncertainty with our you to fight against. it. but for now the offensive continues and so does the human suffering as civilians accord between the fronts like these young victims of turkish shelling in a hospital in runs online yet is it. those who can and getting out the u.n.

says that 160000 people have already fled the fighting. all right we're joined now by all of the salat from washington d.c. all of the american vice president and the u.s. secretary of state are traveling to turkey on wednesday they're going to be demanding a cease fire will that visit have the decide affect. well 2 that's what the president is trying to achieve if he wants to stop the turkish assault against the kurds against kurdish forces against kurdish civilians there in north and syria that's why he sends to his most senior officials off his administration mike pence his vice president as well as secretary of state might bump eal to turkey to negotiate with rich a type of effort on the turkish president in order to reach a cease fire but we witnessed here a massive shift in power over the last days and it's questionable if that can be returned to how it was before we see a russian backed troops all for the syrian dictator bashar al assad now supporting

the kurds filling in that power vacuum that was created there are russian troops patrolling between the front lines and iran of course standing by to extend its impact on the region getting closer to its enemies israel out of that is really in the american interest president trump receiving lots of criticism for his decision to pull out off syria and it seems like the only option he has in his hands right now is to reiterate his threats with sanctions against turkey he has done so today again let's just listen in will president trump had to say. to bring our soldiers back home. and. would be very tough on turkey and a lot of others to maintain their own properties now they have to maintain peace and safety and we'll see what happens the delegation were asking for a cease fire we put the strongest sanctions that you could imagine but they get

a lot we have a lot in store if they don't if they don't have an impact all right said donald trump that claiming the sanctions on key of very strong and yet the u.s. congress says the thoughts we kentucky seems to just shrug them all. now be full. all right so 1st of all he threatens tougher sanctions that what we just heard in the sound bites here and by the way neither congress nor turkey were very much impressed by these threats airtel on president of turkey today said he's not afraid off american sanctions and kong passed a bilateral resolution today really calling demming this move to withdraw the american troops from syria there is a very rare move if you consider how split both parties are the republicans and the democrats over so many ongoing issues like the impeachment inquiry but when it

comes to syria they really managed to speak out with one voice today condemning president trump's move here and that puts the president in a very tough position a very difficult one as well because he withdrew his troops already so at this point it seems he has only sanctions as a means of responding to this ok so you're saying that he is dealing with a lot of criticism his critics say that he gave a green light for a military offensive in syria how is this affecting his standing at home. right and that's just another good example where president trump creates a problem later tries to solve it and then certainly tries to get the credit for solving a problem that he cost in the 1st place but this time is different because he is apparently losing support from his own party ranks the republicans are not complying anymore it seems something is unraveling here you see some of his most

avid supporters that have really been supporting him when it comes to the impeachment inquiry right now criticizing him on a daily basis like senate majority leader mitch mcconnell as well as other republican senators that we're hearing over and over again criticizing him and the overall feeling an impression here in the republican party is that this is a betrayal of republican values as much as a betrayal of one of america's most. loyal allies in the fight against isis all right all of the salat in washington thanks so much now to some of the other stories making news around the world. pro-democracy law makers in hong kong have prevented lead to carry twice from delivering annual policy speech and that just by. finally spoke via video the speech was billed as a bid to restore confidence following months of protests in the territory. hundreds
