rilla tactics and our ground terrorism now how dangerous well the terror will be after its military defeat it well there will be under groaned so it's more difficult actually to conquer an underground organization so they will try to do terrorist operations perhaps not in syria but elsewhere in the world so why do you think they are going to get resources for that where well that's a point since they don't have any oil income they have less resources but you don't need much resources to carry out a terrorist attack. well you don't need much resources to carry out a terrorist attack but you do need resources to keep an organization together you have to feed the people yes but i think they will have their cells or even people who are not really part of the organization are willing to carry out attacks on their own a separate cells so the syrian forces fighting isis are taking having losses in

there as our whereas islamic state getting the strength and lots of ation from to make a tough last stand in their remaining syrian territory i mean why aren't they folding like a house of cards right now they are ministry defeated they are perhaps still stretched out to various desert areas within syria or perhaps small parts of iraq so but an organization which doesn't have an army can still carry out all kinds of terrorist attacks all over the world as we have seen in europe for instance in western europe there have been various at the expo people who have grown up in europe they are not being sent by the so-called islamic states but they are already there and sometimes for various generations wise ass is more resistant to assad's troops than the u.s. backed syrian democratic forces after the fall of rocca. struck a truce recently with the asti af according to the reports from the inside syria

media center. well i think there it is the same it depends on let's say the syrian regime wants to attack the islamic states just as well but thus far over the last few years the syrian regime has used other forces to eliminate one another it's a kind of war economy so sometimes it looked and the syrian regime has been accused of gordon a thing with the islamic state but in fact if that was the case at all it was just the let's say a military strategy to use other forces to eliminate other. and i mean and i think that still is going to happen in a province like it live in the northwest there you have the the successor of. and they will be perhaps at that by the americans by others by the turks so as long

as other countries other armies are doing the work for desir e an army it's all right with the mosque is so they use use these other forces like friends the kurdish forces in the north they have received in deep arms of the syrian regime not because they were friends of the syrian regime but because that state it suited the syrian regime to use them to attack others and i lemonade so once these other forces have been eliminated like this lemon state then i think this era and regime will turn to others and the miis like the kurdish forces in the north but it seems like the race to take credit for victory against i says is really on who can claim to be the ultimate winner here for instance french president mccall has already said we have won and. the same in that general victory

. i think it's not and the country that is really can claim that they have victory because there are so many countries involved in the fight against against islamic state it is the western alliance our countries the syrian regime. radians the hezbollah so to claim it i think it's a political statement but it isn't ones to claim that he or she is the main responsible for winning from dives and it's has been a process of very serious what does stay and devices mean for the local groups on the ground in syria when are the syrian kurds and assad's forces going to go against each other ones to common how such an amazed no more or will we see add to facto partition of syria between the kurds and arabs i think nobody wants a partition of syria but the problem is everyone wants to have the power and syria

sold them a big question though is that once the us is that they are defeated militarily and the regime troops and the. opposition troops are confronting one another with the help of on the one side russia and iran and on the other side by the americans how much the americans are still prepared to support the people they were supporting before or whether offered has been defeated they will lose their interest and they don't want i think at all and the confrontation with russia in syria and probably also not the other way around now there's all this talk of a fish or pre-lit political transition in syria and how maybe gone after a peace deal is hammered out now we keep hearing about the opposition and what they want but what should we do with those who fight for us that are they going to just accept something they fought so hard to prevent. well i think the main forces in

syria fighting for. are supporting him are russia and hezbollah and iran and they none of them wants to news their allies so they will keep supporting him. supporting they will keep supporting the regime because they don't want to lose a strategic ally what about you know syrians who are certainly a partially not all of syria but a lot of people in syria are still supporting assad what about them. well they they will wait until there is a new situation but syria is peaceful so they will keep supporting the regime and many others are opposing the regime and the negotiations are you come better go to interest syrian talks in geneva as long as both sides still want to

eliminate woman or the opposition wants us out to leave at least that although they say we have no preconditions and this is the syrian regime in fact wants to get rid of the opposition so the syrian regime it it really speaking is getting more and more strong and the country military speaking and the party that is stronger military speaking the more it is strong the less they are willing to really make any concessions you know after i visit to russia vladimir putin discuss peace in syria with donald trump do you think washington and moscow care really come to a consensus in syria i mean saying how their relations in all the other areas chests abysmal i think this is relations the relationship between moscow and the mosques and the united states and the masses is fully a symmetrical. russia is a friend of the president of the americas in fact it is and the me and have not

only during the civil war about during this war but also in the past had very. negative relations so it will be very difficult to have a real compromise between the united states and russia because they simply because a semblance of a mic i mean you have noticed if you notice that mr and damn for the past half year or so americans aren't so adamant about. assad leaving is as a precondition to anything anymore because they do understand. in order to have some sort of peace settlement in syria they need assad right now and i don't think that that's i think real russia is actually insistent on not assad staying once the peaceful transition is done i don't think that assad as a person is the sole important thing for russia no a so there's no those all important as a person but he is important as far as his leaving cause

a risk in the regime falling apart so indeed the americans are americans much less of them and to have him leave old oil from time to time they keep saying at the again so in the end i think most countries are accepting that he will stay and. there is told that he would have to leave at the beginning of the transitional period but there must first be a transitional period at all because for the regime transition is a kind of dirty word almost that they want don't want any transition the most they want and the reformers so but as long as they stay in power for the regime it's ok but gradually also from the gulf states also from qatar and saudi arabia and others and for turkey those old those countries was first want to him to leave not only to

leave but topple him they have now come to other opinions because they got particularly turkey also they got a lot of. i do apologize for interrupting our regular programming we do so there because the russian president is currently on a middle east tour which saw him visit three countries today been to syria and to egypt is now in turkey where he's addressing the media a just follows word we've heard from president. well i think clear that we focus on the situation. accurate situation in the middle east and in syria as we call operate closely on these tracks i'd like to underline the fact that our cooperation has been developing successfully at different. different directions and different tracks like to say we also have very good got to do in the ministry.

polman said intergovernmental. meeting is also good work we are effectively and the question of good health really. between generally to step through the trade to increase by thirty six percent reaching as much as fifteen billion dollars well. while last year over the whole period it was about fifteen point eight billion dollars so it will be better because this year also we talked about the limitations that will still exist between us well within eight months of this year imports of you turkish agricultural goods has increased by one point eight times. befriended today we discussed. probably. where we should be headed to make the corporation economic aspiration evolution

was go. back to live with less restrictions i think you can discuss it very very thoughtfully and actually and certainly like to know you hide. level of. cooperation in that sphere the same millions of russian people coming to turkey while last year it was only eight hundred thousand people also discussed the energy sector it is a principle important to. start to work on construction the first am p.p. in turkey we have nuclear power plants and the little turkish. project has been implemented within the timeline we expect to start more fives but which. could be as for that project it will allow for a bigger independent only. market and it will allow russians to deal

with more gas and oil for you she would usually work very actively on that day we finalised credit to this state law and i'd like to. say that i hope it will be signed in the future in the upcoming. we also. syria we also discussed syria is the first. almost the whole territory of the country has been liberated from. with. any still at least we knew. we knew the hostilities would react actively and actually we started the political process. on the twenty second of november between the. turkey and iran we agreed on a number of things and today we are implementing these arrangements working

together on preparing the congress of syrian national dialogue which will take place next year the first months of the next year and next participants will discuss such matters of vital importance as the but deleterious of the future the state structure a constitution. and elections under the. auspices of the united nations is no secret that today my visit to syria i talked in detail with president bashar assad about that very matter of the outcomes of that congress i hope to push forward on syrian including on. track william a guarantor from work we are on the reinforcement of. syria ensuring a stable operational discoloration zone and confidence building between the we were . agreed on close cooperation with the catholics are preparing for the eight

international meeting on syria in astor now which will take place as planned the end of this year i'd like you to know to very positive contribution of the turkey mr advance contribution and personal contribution to that conciliation two houses we also discussed human tarion have. i would like to say that russia believes that . the decision of the us administration to recognize jerusalem as a capital reserve and to relocate its embassy to that city. is not helping to resolve the problem. in the middle east. to be on the contrary destabilizing a very complicated situation. which is exactly going you know perhaps wipe out of all the positive developments on that track that we believe russia believes that this set of money should leave very solemnly fully. agreed decisions and the reason

missions of the u.n. . modalities on the status of jerusalem is the subject of direct talks between the. president do to steenie and people present informally on the. meeting or usually stomach operations guys they shouldn't rush as observer but without a. body will be president zuma surely meeting and. the president of turkey if you are very open and constructive. we are determined to leave our work. on new heights suited for the benefit of our nations respecting the interests of our countries thank you. so they have it president putin speaking at the end of discussions with the president in the turkish capital ankara just

a couple of points there he mentioned trade between the two countries and expressed his delight that the trade increased by more than thirty percent over the course of the last year and of course he talked about syria just following up on his previous comments that the almost the entire country had now been cleared of terrorists and that follows on from what we heard earlier on monday president putin when he ordered the start of the withdrawal of russian forces from syria just several days after he had announced the complete defeat of islamic state there is down hawkins spoke a little earlier to my colleague kate partridge with. also in many will view it that way kate especially from a military point of view this of course was a surprise visit as you mentioned earlier to declaim air base in latakia is part of putin's middle eastern visit he is off to egypt next to visit the president there abdel fattah el-sisi who will discuss the issue with alongside news about his negotiations with. the turkish president as well he has made it clear that while of

bulk of the troops is withdrawing as early as today in fact the first pilots will be flying back to russia we understand. the military forces will be quick to return if the terrorists improve his own words rear their heads once again let's take a listen to a statement. about it on the air to the defense minister and the head of the general staff would have started he would draw all of the russian forces to their permanent legacy it would be for terrorists to reach their heads again and we will strike back with the strength of the you never seen before now of course the base in tartus in attack here will remain although the bunk of the bulk of troops is going home over the last two years the russian troops have played a very important role in backing the syrian army were getting territory ever again around ninety percent of the country russian troops were closely involved in liberation of aleppo of palmira twice in fact of duties or on the euphrates river bank as well. let's take

a look back now at the rise and fall of islamic state. islamic state a group whose name has become a synonym for bombings kidnappings beheadings and tara. the group emerged in the early two thousand as in iraq as a solid jihadist militant group and came to prominence in two thousand and three

after the american invasion however back then the organization was too weak to terrorize the world but by two thousand and fourteen eisel had grown strong enough to claim itself the caliphate terrorist states with its own currency normal's faster both in syria and in iraq that's when the us pledged to crush and i'm going to announce that america will lead a broad coalition to roll back this terrorist threat. our ject it is clear we will degrade and ultimately destroy isis small syrian town bonnie is the first major loss for i see. myself back and managed to make further territorial gains but one's not quite significant is in the early days in september two thousand and fifteen russia

joined the fight rolling out its. large scale anti terror campaign syria. six months after. another major symbolic loss i saw the liberation of power mara city where the terrorists filmed one of their most horrific executions. russian as strikes destroyed oil trucks and tank is draining the terrorists' cash cells and while i suppose money was burning the u.s. led coalition together with the iraqis and the kurds attacked isis biggest city mosul. the battle for mosul turned out to be a long one waged of a nine months victory came a tremendous cost turning

a city with two million inhabitants into rubble. after the liberation of mosul the coalition shifted its focus on syria backing its kurdish allies in their push against isis self-proclaimed capital in october two thousand and seventeen the city was completely liberated was. the. final nail in the caliphates coffin was the liberation of dare resort the syrian city which by so besieged for three years.

at the last resort there was not much of a state left for ice they suffered defeat after defeat in push from all sides and all parties u.s. and russian air strikes and iraqi forces kurdish militias and hezbollah are there's a stop off on putin's middle east towards cairo though he met his egyptian counterpart and discussed another topic that's making waves across the region. i like one lot of our putin suddenly showed up in syria a little earlier his cairo trip was planned in advance but what kind of timing this is to squeeze in talks with both the president of egypt and turkey in cairo and ankara and here we're talking about a timeframe of just several hours while donald trump's jerusalem move really continues to send shock waves across the entire middle east and as our c.c.

and vladimir putin were addressing the journalists here at the presidential palace in cairo we heard more condemnation of that move as a c.e.o. of we were discussing the palestinian issue and especially the situation after the b.s.a. decided to recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital and to move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to there this reckless and provocative decision will have consequences that will influence the resolution of the conflict and the stability of the situation. and russia's support for israel and palestine resuming to preserve the disputed issue as they have including the status of jerusalem the solid agreement that takes into account the interests of both sides should be reached we consider any action that anticipates the outcome for peace talks between israel and palestine counterproductive again this was being said in cairo the egyptian capital where it looks like the arab league is ready to convene and come up with a united official response which will basically mean that it's

a response from the entire region but even before this week a lot has been said in front of the microphones and in the streets they cannot opposed people's feelings and beliefs this is a new type of adventurism and global arrogance of the u.s. . the kingdom of jordan refuses the recognition by the united states so jerusalem is the capital of israel product and make the decision by the united states in its context gives legitimacy. recognition for occupation and the allowance of a de facto status using force indeed right now it is fair to say that not all the arab world but a broader islamic community is ready to stand up for the palestinians so far the president of turkey tiber dog turned out to be the most outspoken and here's what that led to believe israel is a states of tara. who. will abandon truly slim to the mercy

of a state that kills children i'm not used to receiving. lectures. about morality from a leader who bombs kurdish villagers in his native turkey who dreams dreams. hopes you're on the wrong international sanctions and the us campaign back in just a few minutes with the latest news headlines see that. but first like when you all know it's coming through arms because. if somebody would've then told me because i'm going to spend my life replying committees are a little disco of course and the soldier was clearly seen.

every night for all we were attacked by the arabs or we were all attacking them and we will extremely shocked and saying but that's not possible oh i'll make those moveable such scenes and then disorder us and myself. in the house with all the pools of war we've all gotten over they all are. really much second class citizens in the on call. it was like and like nigger mertz that there is no way to be able to live together without tearing down our was. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you were a south and taken your last bang turn. your attitude up to us we all knew it would

i tell you i'm sorry family i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one's different speeches because there are no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker. when the whole make its manufacture come sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial

merry go round the sun be the one percent. time doing the whole middle of the room sit. around anymore you don't need to. apply for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill the narrowness and spend the two to twenty million one fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else i want to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful game a great so well more transfer. and thinks it's going to.
