because those cockroaches are. just. the spray on. the u.s. led coalition in syria as tensions grow between washington and moscow over the syrian jet. in the north of. taking root. leak. on the british prime minister the country's.

international australia has suspended its strikes as part of the u.s. led coalition effort in syria amid a militarised between russia and washington with the details. looks like the reason why australia has decided to hold airstrikes in syria is because they no longer feel that the situation there is safe here's exactly what the statement said as a precautionary measure australian defense force strike operations into syria have temporarily ceased a decision on the resumption of a.d.f. air operations in syria will be made in june course but why is the situation there not safe because the agreement that was signed by us from russia back in october twenty fifteen the agreement that prevents any sort of collisions or dangerous incidents in the airspace over syria that agreement as of yesterday has been halted and that means that as of now there is no any sort of regulations in place to
7:02 am
prevent the us air forces and also the russian air force and hitting each other and this of course came after sunday when the u.s. shot down a syrian fighter jet and that has prompted russia to announce that any coalition airplane flying on the west of the euphrates river or potentially targets that could be tracked down here's exactly what the ministry of defense would any aircraft belonging to the u.s. led coalition detected in the skies west of the euphrates river with the russian air forces operating will be tracked as targets by russian air defense systems well that's taking a certainly sounds threatening but bear in mind the russia also made it very clear that no coalition play will be shot down automatically that everything will be decided on a case by case basis and action we only be taken if a coalition airplane poses a threat to russian aircrafts another thing to bear in mind is that on sunday's incident is barely the first time that the u.s. has attacked syrian government forces in fact there have been four attacks in the past three months and the u.s. actions in syria certainly raise concerns with the u.n.
7:03 am
it does bring up a broadly or deep concern of the risk of possible miscalculation and escalation in the conflict in syria so essentially what we're seeing here is the potential fallout between coalition partners as straightly its latest position clearly show that some of us allies. do not feel safe in syria international relations professor jamal wakim told us that australia's move signifies that some coalition partners don't want to take responsibility for u.s. actions in syria the united states is pushing hard now to lose ground in syria especially that the syrian forces are expanding their control over the city and that it could be and they were. also able to reach the border with iraq which doctored the american plan to drive a wedge between iraq and syria and this is what makes for example australians and
7:04 am
other. coalition members feel afraid because i believe that they might. see themselves as targets for the russian forces stationed in syria. and they they might fear a potential let's say that their jets might be downed by russian forces let's take a look at how the u.s. presence in syria has evolved under the pretext of fighting islamic state u.s. led coalition airstrikes began in september twenty fourth without the permission of the syrian government we will degrade and ultimately destroy eisel at the end of twenty fifteen washington officially began sending special forces into syria to help the so-called moderate opposition again without the permission of damascus twenty sixteen u.s. troops were spotted across syria with washington reluctant to say had it set up

bases there that bite september twenty sixth the u.s. led coalition bombed a syrian military base for the first time although officials admitted that it was unintentional ultimately we made an unintentional regrettable they were primarily based on human factors in several areas in the targeting process then in april of this year washington launched dozens of cruise missiles at a syrian and. a softer blaming damascus for an alleged chemical attack that was followed by the coalition bombing of syrian pro-government forces on three occasions accusing them of violating so-called de confliction zones self-defense of our forces inside in a stab leafed an agreed upon confliction jong then just earlier this month the u.s. deployed advanced missile launches to a base run by its commandos washington's top military commander was hard pressed to explain the legal grounds for shooting down a government jet in this latest attack after his response fell rather flat we're there and have legal justification in new york through zation use military force we
7:06 am
are prosecuting a campaign against isis and in syria general dunford is referring to the authorization for the use of military force that was in two thousand and one after nine eleven that was related to al qaeda in afghanistan so now he's trying to pretend that this somehow justifies attacking syrian grown forces and syrian air force inside syria so what we've got going on is a clear violation of international law it's illegal to fund a proxy army attacking a sovereign state it's illegal to fly over a state without authorization and it's obvious act of war and aggression to go into another country and shoot the the army ants down the air force of these sort of unsteady. and brutal war rages across syria civilians desperately fleeing the conflict we caught up with one man who gave up everything to escape iraq where the u.s.

7:10 am
it was the americans who released as if they want to they could catch him very quickly but they don't and i can't tell you why as it zula fed on the chaos and corruption in afghanistan in his rise in mia months he amassed hundreds of fighters an arsenal of weaponry and handily defeated both the afghan army and the taliban converting his enemies to his own cause and it wasn't faith that did it you know he's the richest man i know he has support from abroad and so much money he pays his fighters almost a thousand dollars that's why so many join him for reference that's about five times more than afghan soldiers are paid attempting some refugees say corrupt afghan army troops sell as his rule of the weapons he needs them and foreign

a bomb threat and had to be evacuated authorities have now increased security around all places of worship but that hasn't been laid everyone's fear is the important thing to know is that this is a very very different types of things we've had before this was specifically targeted towards a minority community and the key thing to say here is that in the past we've had. about dividing lines between community how you have to separate you know this the british society in this muslim society and how this somehow the dividing line what this attack reminds us is that the only dividing line they exist is those who believe in justice freedom and peace and community cohesion and those who don't there are huge community tensions in this country the british muslim community have quite rightly emphasized that over time there have been rises in the number of attacks on our community islamophobia it's acts what needs to be a socio economic changes to our society and some clearly political leadership but happened here in finsbury park has shown yet again how deadly the
