turkey was not part of democracy but since last year's attempted coup. things are going. down. the american military sees its concern for the safety of its troops after a turkish news agency released them up showing the location of u.s. bases in northern syria in a comment to r.t. the us central command said that the sources which contributed to this story cannot be independently verified adding that it would be very concerned if officials from its nato ally would purposefully in danger of forces by releasing such sensitive information nic iran takes up the story. this is how america's military presence in northern syria allegedly looks that's according to turkish state news agency on the dollar it claims to have detected america's hidden outposts scattered across kurdish held areas the agency reports there are as many as ten including two air
11:06 am
bases one in army leon which is large enough for cargo planes and used to supply kurdish forces and another inherent hit which is slightly smaller and reportedly used by military helicopters there's also said to be eight more military points which it's claimed are used to house military consultants operational planning offices and units to engage in active conflicts plus the equipment kept that allegedly includes artillery batteries rocket launchers and all new vehicles but the turkish news agency revealing washington's active operations in a war zone in thirty much detail with accurate or not it's likely upsetting for the u.s. and course the pows that ally the discussion of specific troop numbers and locations would provide sensitive tactical information to the enemy which could in danger coalition and partner force we respectfully request that you refrain from disseminating any information we chose not to disseminate all the details listed by
11:07 am
the un a dollar agency like the number of u.s. special forces and strategic tosca of the outposts arguably a bigger question here is not about the publication's accuracy but rather why would turkey want to undermine its ally by revealing potentially dangerous details of its secret military bases well perhaps it has something to do with the location of these bases which form within the region controlled by the kurdish militia a group the u.s. considers to be a key ally in the fight against eisel but one which turkey deems as terrorists probably the turks are doing this and thinking done the same line in response to this event. that you know we can tamper with turkish interests probably the turks are thinking well we could probably get it to be a challenge the american administration and other nato allies if you're not from fully respected as a former member then probably should rethink this with
11:08 am
a ship in a sense threatening need to stability now turkey regularly slams the u.s. over its support for the kurds but now by revealing this sensitive information it appears anchor is using more direct tactics to strike back at its nato ally. reports are emerging president trump erst the summit to halt a covert cia train program for moderate rebels in syria although u.s. officials have so far the cloying to comment publicly the story's been getting a lot of media attention and many public movers a victory got what he wants in syria and that trump has caved in to the rebels were being trained to fight against the moscow backed government of bashar assad. well the cia program was launched back in twenty thirteen under the obama administration it's been providing training for selected commanders from the free syrian army at bases in jordan as well as supplying weapons and equipment the scheme has
11:09 am
reportedly been costing over one billion dollars every year. when twenty fifteen the program was criticized as ineffective and overall spending on it was reduced by twenty percent a year after that it was said that groups of syrian rebels supported by two different u.s. agencies had begun fighting each other over territory it also emerged that weapons sent to syrian rebels have been reportedly stolen by jordanian intelligence agents and then sometimes sold on the black market so a lot of details let's get further into some of them with former u.k. ambassador to syria and bahrain peter ford always good to see you sir the media has called the cia program coming to an end a victory for vladimir putin in somewhat like a slur against trump more so than a victory but could actually more importantly signify a period of closer ties in syria. broadly yes but i think we have to
11:10 am
be cautious here none of the details been confirmed. we don't know many of the details it's possible that what's happening here is simply a partial scaling down gradual scaling down of u.s. assistance to the favored opposition groups and what we may actually be thing is on the view of media news management by the trump team they are allowing an impression to be created that really major decision when in reality it will turn out in a few days or a few weeks time the scale of it is really quite small. so i wouldn't jump to conclusions in any case however it's certainly a step in the right direction. to bringing peace to the syrian people and
11:11 am
more or less tension through u.s. relations with russia. without is the point isn't it that. this code turned out to be a victory for the conflict in general but attention has been turned to russia and moscow is in the headlines like this but it could be a significant turning point but yet moscow seems to be dominating the protocol the headlines here. exactly and it has to be thing i did that to trump credit that he's not allowing himself to be deflected from during the right the strategic we and politically right thing by the media bias. it's the interpretation who is correct then he does some dumb credit and we must be cautiously optimistic that he'll continue down that path of belated common sense. we have heard one particular
11:12 am
mosque so repeatedly coming from u.s. officials at let us and our viewers just take a quick listen here for years an assist in training aspect advise and assist in training mission. training equipping assist in a company advise and assist train equip advise and assist in the company and our partners on the ground. the question is i suppose are we going to see potentially i you turned on our policy in syria. no i don't think maybe an l. turn right or. a diversion and a repro or a tie is a should what may actually be going on here is a scaling back of one of the several strands in the u.s. support for the rebels and that is jordan based element of the program which was
11:13 am
a notorious failure with some of the the that the handful of trained rebels handing over their weapons. that is maybe the program which we're talking about here other programs will almost certainly continue to support for the so-called free syrian army in locations where it really is fighting i think and support for the arab tribal militia which are helping the kurds in the siege of iraq are absolutely peter ford former you can buster to syria and bahrain all the expert analysis thank you sir thank you. ok we've had latest from today's and max twenty seven earth show where some big deals are expected to be homeward suiko which were correspondent later in the park.

come along for the ride. a quarter past the hour welcome back u.k. prime minister trees in may has hit record low approval ratings following her snap election setback let's get the details from our tease polyploid live in london either polly this not vote which she said she would not do remember that obviously a huge factor in her popularity slump but is it the only one. or gosh well this is a record that no one really wants to hold to reason may's approval rating is now at an all time low according to this latest ip source mori poll and what they did with this poll is that they looked at all the prime ministers in modern times here in britain and where their popularity was that a month after a general election and to reason may have the lowest popularity rating of any
11:16 am
modern day prime minister a month after the vote pouring salt on her wounds will be news of the fact that the same research has found that the opposition labor leader here jeremy corbyn he scored a personal best in this poll his personal popularity rating is the highest it has ever been and approval of the government as a whole has also plummeted and i think what pollsters here are most fascinated by is the speed at which he resists may to reason may's full from grace or rather her fall fall in the popularity ratings has taken place if you look back in april when she called that snap election her own personal popularity and that of the conservative party were at an all time high but then she was seen to have waged really rather a failure of an election campaign she refused to take part in televised debates she
11:17 am
made u. turns on things like social care and of course the u.k. was also hit by a wave of terror attacks in the run up to the vote which a lot of people here in the u.k. held to resume a personally responsible for because she was head of the home office here in the u.k. for the six years leading up to her becoming prime minister so that disastrous election result also saw her having to make that deal with the d p which a lot of people didn't approve of it hasn't been popular and again in the last month another tragedy have taken place there was the grenfell tower disaster which a lot of people say was to reason. he's hurricane katrina moment and she as prime minister was forced to apologize for the government's inadequate response to the disaster and also for the failings that led up to the disaster taking place and if all that wasn't enough we've got this kind of slow chug chug of the brags that negotiations taking place and it's becoming increasingly apparent that they're going to be long and painful these talks we've just had this second round of
11:18 am
negotiations wrapped up in brussels and we had david davis the breaks that minister for the british side trying to sound upbeat but the e.u. lead negotiator michel barnier of century complaining that the brits haven't really done their homework they need more clarification zone british positions on a number of key issues now one point to make is that a lot of people have been bashing polls recently saying that they've lost their trust in them because they failed to call how close the scottish referendum would be in two thousand and fourteen most of the polls failed to call brags that last year but actually it's got to be said that here in the u.k. the polls have kind of redeem themselves recently the pollsters pretty much got this last general election last month spot on so there are plenty of things now for to reason may to think about as the politicians had to wait for their summer holidays right now you know should we have to be through the end of it all parties
11:19 am
polly thank you very much for the update. so the polls are making gloomy reading as well for donald trump both for the us leader learned that his approval ratings are the worst of any american president over the past seven two years but political polls have been far from totally archerd as we've just heard from polly in several countries recently killer burp and explains how best to interpret the numbers. we're six months into donald trump's presidency and the pollsters tell us that his ratings have tanked but these pollsters don't exactly have the best record remember what they said right before the election most polls give clinton a better chance of winning than slave for hillary all the major electoral map forecasters show hillary clinton winning the election. day trumped by the conventional wisdom and expectations polls showed hillary clinton was the favorite to win and they weren't wrong in the sense that hillary clinton did win
11:20 am
the popular vote the polls were wrong about this race the entire time warps why are american pollsters getting things so wrong and can you read between the lines to get a more accurate picture here are some helpful tips posed in american made out some precise and definitive. so is there something we're missing to understand any poll you first need to know who's taken a. recent surveys in the u.s. seem to tell democratic voters leaving the republican voice behind but reports suggest americans are equally divided when it comes to party affiliation so what should we be looking for response rates the actual number of people who have taken the poll over the last two decades in the u.s. fewer people seem to be interested in getting their opinions out to post as meaning the blanks to fill in for them based on probability and relying on factors like political preference impulse choices. that leaves us with something referred to as
11:21 am
a sampling error which can be anything from one to five percent still a sizable number of possible mistakes. so now you know you pose shouldn't be taken at face value. some american pollsters even admit that they're having trouble getting things right you really don't have to justify it when you are the network and you have millions of viewers a.b.c. washington post c.b.s. new york times whatever you know that big into that that poll released are an automatic several million viewers the poll is going to be discussed other networks are going to be picked up by the associated press and so. you can be careless and get away with the next time you see a catchy headline based on a poll do the work the media doesn't want you to do read between the lines it would mop and r.t.

11:28 am
a great stepping stone for whatever career you want to do but some veterans are willing to tell enthusiastic children a little more they ask me call of duty is a very popular first year video game log it's play and that's because the military like call of duty to turn off call of duty oh yeah well you can't turn off work and lot of these kids just don't hear. the darker side does the pentagon allow them to be told or does it just need more recruits. it's like it's. a lot of. all. of. that it. up and up i feel i owe
