of this connection to last him should ask for the past 70 and seeing and on monday today for the dutch. commission. branches just. no new car so said on the opening much to the mama just back. talk about one of the worst cases of predatory baxter's defrauding and abusing the poor and sick that i've seen in a couple years you know we have entered issue to many instances of bankers preying

on folks but this is this is a this is really happening. in the age of trump what has happened to journalistic standards and competence in the media not long ago it was generally agreed that politics was the art of the possible no one news narrative must prevail and all others must be bang. which is a state of affairs serve the public interest. welcome back we go back to our breaking news story this hour turkey has announced the launch of a military offensive in syria as an arab one says it's aimed at the kurdish workers party and islamic state terrorists syrian state television reports that operation peace spring began with turkish fighter jets delivering airstrikes on the town. in northern syria we go live now to patrick henningsen executive editor at 21st

century wired dot com now how extensive could this operation become obviously this is still early days but we've already hear heard accounts of airstrikes. so it's potentially very dangerous in terms of the stability in the region in syria in this corner of syria if turkey goes all in aggressively in the crash and it's very predictable what might happen as a result so it's there are many different players vying for positions in northeastern syria and of course this is over in syrian territory so there must use eventually has vowed that it will take every inch of its territory back. but that's beside the point at the moment the real problem now is how it's going to play out in the short to medium term and i'm unfortunately because of the situation. that

states and its allies have created in northeastern syria there is no win win in the short term there is a potential when the whims of the long term about going to require all parties getting together all major parties mainly syria. turkey and also you can extend that to you arms well iraq and also may. maybe the u.s. and if they're willing to go that far as to cooperate with the local partners the regional where i was there which they haven't actually been doing for the last few years that they've been off keeping with eastern syria with their kurdish proxies how do you think the syrian government is going to perceive this operation as an invasion as something else and would they be right in that. technically it is an invasion of course syria can look at it that way that's not going to help figure out what to do in the short term clearly turkey has in the agenda which is trying

to fulfill it's trying to move out of the kurdish militants. factions in the region along its border regions it wants to change the demographic that is possible it's looking at this is in terms of its long term security interests as well but the problem is it's creating other problems and the this is just the longer term repeat remains occupying some of these areas we're talking about northeastern syria charmless right along the border all the way to operate in the longer this happens the harder it's going to be the longer it's going to take for syria or damascus and it's russian partners to flush out the remaining al qaida affiliates and geodes which have already sort of reemerged in the soka in the immediate aftermath of the u.s. pulling out so it's difficult in the short term. of course it is important to step

back and look at the bigger picture here could this turkish operation destabilize northern syria even further and even neighboring iraq possibly. it's possible it's possible if you look at the other areas where the syrian army and its allies hezbollah arena and special forces russia with his air force they've been able to eliminate or to flush out extremists in a very short period of time and liberate areas very methodically very efficiently if they are able to do this in northeastern syria you probably would see the isis factions and some of the remaining diaz factions are going to be pushed out where they're going to go where can they go and one of the destinations is syria. is northern syria and over the turkish border on the fortunately turkey has played a role in facilitating the f.s.a. the free syrian army remanent and other al-qaeda affiliates i think stream as have

been doing this really since 2011 and given them a home over the border so this is exacerbated a lot of problems united states is also partly responsible for this is well because it's allowed to fester in some of these so-called refugee camps along the iraqi and syrian border and around al found in these areas for us to spend you could say managing the problem rather than completely eliminating the problem if you look over the border in iraq i regret that very efficiently eliminated the problem very very effectively culminating in the liberation of mosul and some of these areas in the fall and winter of 2017 so this can easily be done in parties where able to cooperate but the problem is you have people with different agendas right now all in the same area that the game of musical chairs united states is a 4th party that had to leave that game. but now we have another whole host of

parties that are basically have they have their own agenda this is their main problem. in the region right now they're not getting together to look at a common threat everybody is trying to in the short term leverage their own interests and it's going to create potentially create problems exactly we're definitely seeing a shuffle right now in that area and the kurds have been more or less left in the lurch once the u.s. stop backing them do they have anyone else to turn to right now. well the most practical solution for the kurdish forces i would say the kurds because they are in the west the general realize this from the kurds there is no monolithic kurds but this is the popular way of our training this and western media the kurdish militant factions these so-called syrian democratic forces s.c.l. boy that's just a cosmetic. identity either a y p u g

u k k militants marxist militants and so they. need to basically talk to the masses this was going to happen before isis. emerged in northeastern syria and took over large portions of territory this was happening in 2014 in 2014 or 12 and 13 but things got delayed and then the game completely changed after the emergence of isis so. the problem is united states their biggest fear the neo cons the war hawks in washington the biggest fear is the kurds the kurdish factions will turn towards moscow into the basket and then there is no more divide and rule game going on in the if instance of syria and that would also force turkey and as well he would have to respect or come through in the goetia action to be able to find a settlement for this problem that is perceived as along this border region so the

united states is will be very much interested in that not happening because then things will get resolved very quickly indeed. this is a problem is really turkey and united states of most responsible for the current situation right now in the united states is calling out for whatever reason possibly to call out and come back in like tonight on the white horse later if there's more problems or if there's international pressure for them to do something i'm not sure or this is a vietnam. moment assad gone moment where they literally pulled out and left some chaos in the in their wake and may or may not get results eventually it should get resolved but it could be very bloody and violent in the meantime do you see this as a betrayal of the kurdish forces by the white house as both team u.s. democrats and republicans have characterized it. the american politicians like to

portray this relationship with our allies the kurds there are good loyal allies the reality is they're not allies it's and it's a marriage of convenience and more often than not the united states has used. kurdish people kurdish factions militant factions whether it's in iraqi kurdistan or in this case in syria where by the way the the the kurdish population is not the majority in throughout northeastern syria far from it but this is how it's being portrayed these are our allies and we must be loyal to them so forth most americans are cold and they think that. the kurdish kurds have some right to an independent state or territory in northeastern syria and this of course is the culmination of years and years of propaganda in iraq has a similar problem they have an autonomous. we were just speaking with

patrick henningsen executive editor at 21st century wired dot com we do seem to have lost a connection with him but we'll come back to that story later on in the program. german police report 3 shootings 2 in the city of hala and one and landsberg some 15 kilometers away 2 people have been confirmed killed video of the suspected shooter has emerged in the german media showing the moment of one of the attacks one shooting occurred outside a synagogue and another at a shop there are also reports of a grenade being thrown at a jewish cemetery security measures have been increased at think dogs in the country evangelists obsess reports. as mentioned earlier 3 shootings have been reported by the police on wednesday afternoon and highly germany one took side of a synagogue the other at a local club up shop and the other one about 15 kilometers away at a nearby town called landsberg it all happened at 1 pm local time around 1 pm local

time when a man was said that he opened fire with a submachine gun to a crowd killing 2 and injuring many many others it is also believed. the threw a grenade at a jewish cemetery now according to eyewitnesses that were there they said that these men were wearing combat gear pretty much helmets bulletproof vests and they were carrying multiples weapons the train station in the main train station in the city of a holiday is on lockdown at the moment police seeing. possible more than one suspects they have detained one but the believe that there are more and they are large and believe that they are heavily armed and their courage in everybody in the area and the nearby towns this they endorse since the the area is still on high alert and just the point out here today marks the holiest day in the

jewish calendar your kit pour which pretty much means that all the people who are gathered in spending more most of their times in the the synagogues. and this is actually comes after 18 other incident that took place in berlin earlier this month on october 4th there has been no casualties and no people injured but the jewish communities have raised their concerned to local authorities up oh today this upcoming holiday we'll have more on our breaking news story of the turkish offensive in syria after this short break. in this community there are people who believe that it's ok to sell fraction food

welcome back we now go back to our breaking news story president and one has announced the launch of a military offensive in syria and reports are coming that air strikes have been conducted into syrian towns we're now joined live in the studio by art of what's happening at the moment well indeed i mean both turkey and the kurds have said that the strikes have been carried out well because of course saying that they have been carried out against them and in fact this operation and it is anything but a surprise it has been a long time coming out again has been threatening with a military operation against the kurds for a long time and this is how he has justify did have a listen. the turkish forces together with the syrian national omi just launched operation peace spring against p.k. kyi p.g. and terrorists in northern syria a mission is to prevent the creation of

a terror corridor or across our southern border and to bring peace to the area while it is not a mistake that you have the p.k. k. and the y. p g kurdish military branches in the same sentence in the same context with diet or islamic state because turkey views these 2 kurdish groups these 2 kurdish military wings as terrorists so for ankara and for erdogan it's the same thing it's the same flavor and i source so they are saying that this is an operation against terrorists they have launched air strikes so far into well at least the reports are saying in 2 locations in the in the towns in northeastern syria of. now so far this there has been no information as to whether the ground operation has yet begun but apparently not yet because it is just the 1st phase the 1st the turks will move and they are moving in with you know with the bombings with the tillery sort of clearing the way for the personnel for the grunts and what kind of

reaction have we seen from the kurdish forces as well the kurds of course they don't like when they're being called terrorists because of course they do not consider themselves as terrorists and they're saying that it is a complete disaster they are saying that the turks are targeting civilian areas and they are saying that people for instance the spokesman of the of the kurds he said that people are in panic that people are panicking and here's basically here's the official statement by the. let's get. ready to confront and respond to all kinds of attacks that could be launched against us because all minorities ethnic and religious groups to come together as one so. and raise our voices against turkish attacks the young people have a great responsibility and role in confronting attacks by the turkish state so basically would turkey doesn't want to see doesn't want to see the kurds in syria

mingling and having direct you know access to the kurds who are living on the turkish territory so they're aiming at creating a sort of a buffer zone while turkey is calling that is calling this thing that has been going on between the kurds the turks the turkish the syrian kurds as a terrorist corridor or and they're essentially trying to create a buffer zone like that both 30 kilometers wide to split those 2 groups to of course evict those kurds who are living within that buffer zone give us some background here what exactly led up to this operation well sort of the big picture is very simple turkey doesn't like the kurds and the current world there is a certain reciprocity with the with the as the 2 but if you take a closer look what became the catalyst for this whole thing is the u.s. withdrawing its forces from with those 2 particular regions those 2 towns that i was talking about just now russell island tell of yard it doesn't look like it is

just a coincidence that just something that did on a whim no because these are the exact 2 regions where the american troops withdrew from and for a long long time very often it was the american forces standing between a direct confrontation between the turkish forces and the kurds it's not a figure of speech literally they were putting their bodies between to prevent the fire and also the kurds where they have been they have been like a stable force and very effective in fighting against i saw but they are not as well equipped as the turkish army and they have been further weakened because they dismantled their fortifications in the region that came under attack and they did so because the you wanted states. ask them to do so kind of trying to trying to talk again out of the of the attack but eventually after the kurds will comply to everything that the united states asked them to do being there you know sort of protector and there they go and tore that nothing's going to happen the

united states simply withdrew and this is for instance how russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov prodded how he described his feelings that he has towards that decision. to bring yes it's hard to say what's wrong with america's actions in syria but they are riddled with contradictions and exhibit the impossibility of negotiating with washington donald trump claimed he would withdraw u.s. troops from syria and other countries but after taking office he's gone back on those promises and my guess is it'll be the same this time around such a frivolous approach can aggravate tensions in the entire region and so must be avoided we've repeatedly told the us this we thought it understood that nothing's changed. well and actually the history of the united states making promises to the kurds both in syria and iraq and then kind of abandoning them it goes all the way back to the fifty's so it's not like the kurds didn't know what they will go in

into putting their trust into the united states i mean i even put together a whole report just on that which we're going to show you next hour because but still. it has been going on for a very very long time and still the kurds seem to hopes of the they have been calling on the united states to introduce a no fly zone to prevent the to prevent the turks from bombing them from bombing the kurdish the kurdish population there they also have been saying for instance that they might abandon that the guards at the kurdish prisons they might abandon their posts to go to the north to the north of the region to kind of you know to to defend to defend the people there what this means because those prisons that the kurds are talking about the holding islamic state terrorists including of british origin for instance and so on and so forth so i don't have to tell you what's going to happen if all the guards abandon those posts and abandon those prisons or those

terrorists will they will go out they will they will be free they will free themselves up and i saw is already using this using this panic using this chaos and it's advantage for instance there have already been reports of islamic states bombers attacking kurdish forces in iraq or the former capital of the islamic state so it is a complex situation and even inside the united states there has been a very loud outcry against the decision to abandon the kurds yet again. unraveling this breaking news story for us thank you. now will be back with more on our breaking news along with your headline stories in just a few minutes to stay with us.
