view points of what's going on now regarding the- turkey a serious situation the french from its is only the dream was called in for a meeeeting. the internatioional coalition againt the islamic state group including the united states and turkey to discuss the situation. in northeastern syria he says he wants to meet also with the kurds. us officials say the vice president mike pence will leave within twenty four hours to go to ankara. depressed turkey for a ceasefire. a reinforcing its call for an immediate. he's on has called on turkey again to end the deadly assault on northeast in syria the imperative now is to end the incucursion into syria these words by tweet of iran's from the stomach jeff i it's everythingng the monuc thatt of course is president to hassan rouhani off fat arorod. let's get the analysis just micro joins a specialist on us mideast fat as fellow at the arab center in washington dc jo thank you much for joining us sir as you can to us would is

dropping on the y. serves in to me. a show of force syria the turkish fighters can close to us troops this is that military at off us military aircraft. carrying out what's called a show of force. up to date with that one and what i wanted to stop i ask you walls russian now appears to hold the e key to what happens next. yes s someboy has to fill the u u. s. vacuum the s. is up is very weak elsewhere there textual soul force not to basically reclaim someme of that infnfluence by. putting some sexual tookk and other things but yes there's a vacuum the portions of the vavacuum. o once the u. s. leavs turkey a and russia have to cocontest or agree. on whoho w l take ove a at that at this point and you r read this been watchig very closely. the listening positional closed circuit think the area. along the border. you

start. it with each other i try to take over. more of the land this change the dynamics will oversee. so what is russia's aim in being the power broker. well thehey havee been the power brbroker for a widide enougugh u remember and so since you know they were brokering what's happening between iran and- israel. they were broken the astana approached us so the first priority is to get the us out. at from los east and from at the end of. once the us is they'd be the major part were basically broken between turkey and iran and basically it's trying to take over. more it it's a p political and mililitay so the first player to t t first few years with the last few years was. once you your take an equal power which is the u. s. now you can basically start to change the rules of the game and sites here. what you make of the show of force by the us military at croft.

and after turkish back fighters with too close according to them. to the american forces is. this an indication that america could stick straight back into these e operations. no that's a defensive posture. they were taken for granted because this last withdrawal from men binge for will be contested areas so they neeeed to look att the good needs to show. that the us is still there is still. can defend itself h has. they can ue the schools which is. which of the air power. and thee sanctionons so they have to do because- - donald trump projectd very weak. the uss into in the region the did you double youour run those last few months. it is strucuck back when n the us e was was downn. he didn't support the kurdish. there's a a perception. . yes three t threed they have to change it when necessary just to show thahat. yes we are not attackiking but t least we are defending ourselveves when when's the so thisas n needed i think by the

the irish sea that would be separating northern ireland and the rest of the u. k. this is something to reason may was never willing to accept. because her government wasas dependenent on the d. u. p. the unionist party in northern ireland that would never accept such a deal now technically. johnson's government is kind of also depend. on that a party because the matter hasn't changed but what shore now is that he has to call a new general election at some point the two months. anyway so he's not as dependent on them but of course we're not getting it confirm that that's exactly the concession that was offered here we're just hearing. there was some kind of concession on the u. k. side. just to complete the picture coast the democratic unionist party in northern ireland that said that and peace. threw in with the conservatives to keep them in power after he's my lost the majority. back in twenty seventeen the u. p. this evening commenting to say. it would be fair to indicate. gaps remain and for the work is

share with the publilic. and so here is ask president of the national assembly who is a socialist. and local politician. and you can see there that that the visiting group. that with the lady in question. only it's just to her left here on the right. all of this place on front of him for what she's wearing james completely complies with the rules here from as you can see the woman's face is not hiding her face. that's right so. there is not at all which bonds the full veil which covers of a face. and when it comes to a simple head scarf a teacher for example it but if you're working as a public servants you're not meant to have religious or symbols of cap on your on your person. she is not actually i was this particular at article here in tom you said she is not exercising. a mission of public service. who is parents a supervisor of on a school trip or whatever is not. a teacher and as a citizen of the republic just as anyone else in a public space she's entitled to wearar the simimple that's practice nothing.

happening at all and so it seems to me that she's. one heck of an apology frank well it's become a major point of debate you had that the minister here marlene it shopper who is a minister at. a far i have for the fighting fighting against discrimination i'm meant what it calls a gym and whatever she tweeted on this. she said that the law the nineteen five all that separates church and state. this is not what was envisaged far. humiliating mothers publicly on phones their children actually will only contribute to creating further divisions in society says not a sensible things and i think as julie criticized but then. karen please well it just it it kind of took on a whole and i must have a portion because within the ruling and nothing could be camanche. public on the move party. and you had a schism over this note with photographed here is john michel don't care who the education minister he had said last week that he called it was not desirable. for parents accompany schooled children on school trips to wear the headscarf because of. the school is a- itt should be a place that is secular. and it's

been it's based partly for about ten years on and off. whether parents who are volunteering in schools. where the bill should be you know. less preferred. as an option to company people school trips and it's always. brought up the prickly issue of hold on a minute is not off. of sites there that's actually this you know. but in any case a he he has been criticized by members of his own party and actually. there's a party commission that is being. that he wants to someone at two in order to have a- the criticism made by one of his party colleagues. at sort of sanctions you can see here this is an article where they the cali can question the mp only until she said that. the education minister. had actually sort of used to it that the statement made by body action which i don't see it. for his own benefits. and he had to sort of. . rick rick abot hey had used it politically because the information is right suthers. said dr. in other words what he's saying is. that at this local politician band seized on march. in order to public

humiliation. at the city. is it just to kind of bring it up to today mark this is in la moaned. and there was a joint appeal signed one ninety. public kind of official journalists academics public figures of various different things ninety different people selling this. st how far is the hatred expressed towards muslims. going to go in french society. among your michaell needs to speak out about this. and he needs to say and if you can scroll down. at will and i'm not sure we'll find exactly the article because we are asking for moneyey when i called to say. clearly that muslim women who wear. the headscarf or who don't wear them it's go head scarf. have every place in our society. i'm what they're saying. there is that this child to witness his mother being humiliation. could end up feeling like a second class citizen because of what happened because of this. politician humiliation his mother and- in a in a in a in a in a public place like that so. very sensitive issue and to show you marco. it continues to remain sensitive. this here either okay out is the- deputy editor. over and if you get home which is when the main.

public right. of center right to music was fine as reference. he that because the lady in question was asked to leave. the chamber. and in the end shee wouldn't't so t the politicians seself left the chamber. this creates a lot of debate. in the media in the last couple days. eve clara said well you know what i've got on buses. in the past right seen women wearing the public that that that the veil. i've got off the bus. because i case the bulls in religion. so this is the d depuy editor off a paper of record in concert going on. scene use television one of them made rolling news channels and saying this. it created a massive backlash mark peoeople feeling this. and that. this is a disruptive. and it's a form of hate speech in some respects. and someone in influence and public life working for one of the best known french newspapers me people around the world know what. the figaro is and- have someone of that. ilk. wiwith tht

kindnd of. once in that t kind f an organizization. the mind. wht what what this article also says in the moon's within ninety signatures to s. is at there should be a greater degree of indignation about incidents like this and it needs the president needs to speak up because what's happening is increasingly the far right parties are weapon icing the issue of secularism for their own political ends and manipipulating actually what the law of nineteen five is meant to represent. and as a result of past there is increasing confusion an increasing sense that sat at that but that said that racist or a disk image review sort of statements i can be can be can become mainstream almost have to come right backk to the e stt that lady sitting there with her he *-*- sixty of these complex please the french will not be delivered so that politician is being a petty. yes sorry but that's how it is via now can tell me to get out and you millions of f e front of the cave is not yet no legal basis right has to give me a circle. on and on about alall of ththe leakisis alive. yeah yeah.
