this is g.w. news live from berlin tonight confusion at nato as the u.s. signals it may return to syria at nato headquarters in brussels a struggle to find a common voice and if the united states says it may send tanks and troops back to syria after pulling them out just a week ago also coming up the man who could be argentina's new president left leaning about the fernandez has a huge 25 point lead as the nation prepares to vote on sunday.

i'm going off it's good to have you with us tonight nato was struggling to find one voice over its member turkey and turkey's offensive in northern syria nato just ended a 2 day summit in brussels acknowledging different views on the issue at least as what secretary general younes stoltenberg said the behavior of yet another member of the united states that behavior not helping things at all the u.s. pulled its troops from syria earlier this month washington l says it will send them back to syria to prevent so-called islamic state from capturing crucial oil fields in the east. it isn't easy keeping up with america's position in syria after president trump emphatically said u.s. troops will coming home his statement seemed in downs as reports came into the white house that sets out options for leaving. u.s.

forces in northeast syria the new order seems to be modifying the objective of keeping isis extremists at bay to include the safeguarding of the oil fields the region is in a state of flux to trump declared he was withdrawing u.s. troops creating a vacuum on tuesday russia and turkey struck a deal on a 30 kilometer deep safe zone to enable the withdrawal of could its units from the area the oil fields which are of interest to the u.s. and in the east of the region at a nato press conference in brussels u.s. defense secretary mark tried to give some clarity to the u.s. position where both objectives and the reversal of trump earlier order of troop withdrawal set out. and his team so we are reinforcing that position it will include some mechanize forces again i'm not going to get into details but the mission in syria remains what their mission in syria began with it's always been about defeating the isis coalition. while russian forces step up their presence

with turkey esper drew attention to news that turkey had said it had recaptured some of the $100.00 isis militants believed to have a scaped from prison in syria as a result of the turkish incursion. i'm joined by our correspondent in washington good evening to you paul so why are we seeing this sudden shift in u.s. policy again i mean the u.s. is now the world's biggest energy exporter they don't really need oil from outside the country so why are they sending soldiers in to defend or oil fields in syria. brads well it's certainly hard to keep up because it's he said it's yet another shift from the united states now the u.s. defense secretary marc asper said the u.s. mission in syria has always been to prevent a resurgence of the so-called islamic state the reason for securing the oil fields

is to prevent us from regaining access to syrian oil which we mustn't forget was a major source of revenue for the terror group but what we also can't forget is that president ordered the return of a 1000 u.s. troops who have been partnering with a syrian kurdish militia to century fight the so-called islamic state now this latest decision to have the troops securing the oil fields would in some way sort of partially reverse the ongoing return or supposedly return which is what's being said here of u.s. troops from syria and also another question is we don't know how many troops we're talking about how many will actually be sent following this new announcement brant do you think. maybe this is the pentagon's way of drawing to correct what. was a mistake 2 weeks ago being the president's announcement that he was going to pull troops out of northern syria. well it could certainly be interpreted that way because of course like you said we can't forget that there was also

a major backlash from both democrats and republicans over president trump's essential abandonment of the u.s. as kurdish allies now this shift in recent days from trump has been basically securing the oil fields well that's the message that he wants to get across but there are reports here in the u.s. the top military leaders had pushed for forces to be left in syria to basically fight yes or suppose it i guess resurgence despite that the area of control that we're talking about in some ways being under the control of the united states and syrian kurdish forces and there's also a big concern here amongst many analysts and people within the military there are pockets of insurgents throughout the country so do we know what will the new deployment of u.s. forces in syria look like. well brant if you heard to listen to the report there was quite interesting to hear the u.s. defense secretary mark asked for he said that the added force in syria would be

mechanized now what does that mean it's probably means tanks and other combat vehicles and he didn't mention like i said before how many troops we're talking about here but what i'm reading from military analysts are saying that it could mean several 100 according to them but up until now there have essentially been special operations forces who haven't been equipped with tanks or armored vehicles bush like i said very little information and it's also very hard to really follow what exactly what decision the white house is making with regards to syria a correspondent publicly on the story for us tonight in washington public thank you . well here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world in the impeachment inquiry against us president a court has ruled that the justice department must hand over documents from the moeller report into russian meddling in the 26000 u.s. election democrats in the house of representatives have demanded access to the
