a political negotiated solution now russia which is not a member of nato has become turkey's closest ally in an attempt to implement a military solution as part of a deal struck between the leaders of turkey and russia they seek to create a buffer zone in the formerly kurdish held border region and german tornado fighter jets could be part of a greater international effort to stabilize the area this is according to a recent plan by a german defense minister and he could come she wants to take berlin's commitment even further. my 1st look is this via my suggestion is that we set up an internationally controlled security zone and valving turkey and russia one time but soon learned a suggestion that took many by surprise back home in germany and brussels the proposal was met with interest by the nato chief i welcomed nato allies proposals on how to move forward how to find a political solution and of course a political solution how to win old in wall all actors on the ground but this
8:04 am
proposal just might be too little too late russia one of the actors on the ground has made clear already that it rejects berlin's vision of a security zone in northern syria. while could the german call for u.n. troops patrolling the so-called safe zone be an option let's talk now with mideast analyst mark as they call for more on that good morning markel. marcus sar there turkey russia are now in command of events on the ground in northern syria why would either of them allow international troops on to territory that they control. they could allow it definitely say could because they would need partners to patrol an area which is 480 kilometers long 30 kilometers wide it's a big area where turks and russians alone might not have the possibility to control it all and one wary important thing not to forget is syria with its troops once you
8:05 am
go into this area an area where the kurds why p.g.a. is they are enemies of syria and of turkey and to control this area to bring peace there you might need more international troops than on the turkey and russia you see german troops heading into this safe zone it would be a very big step for germany germany is in iraq as kurdistan with troops to help the kurdish authorities there to send german troops into syria bring the debate into the german politics which has not been seen which would be a major step for germany to send actually troops into the middle east ok well the u.s. president has given his full support to this russian turkish deployment let's take a look too at what he had to say. this was an outcome created by us the united states and nobody else by the moves that we've made we are achieving a much more peaceful and stable area between turkey and syria including

8:07 am
america is not only leaving syria but is giving up the middle east as the whole region to russia as the new major power in the region ok to the questions about russia also touch on nato as far as nato is concerned looking at a completely new military realignment turkey engaged in a sophisticated patrolling operation with russian troops now russia is of course nato arch rivals why nato was created in the 1st place what does this say about the coherence of the nato alliance right now and nato is not as stable anymore as it was before and this turkish russian alliance which is forming right now has already given signs of breaking down of turkey being reliable inside nato so this russian alignment with turkey might defeat turkey inside made over this is not
