he belonged to the brigade in northern aleppo in 100 out. we assume that he was involved in numerous crimes against civilians in the middle east how we currently trying to gather as much evidence on him as we can. and that the norms that are and how to. he's real. we discover that muhammad s. lives in the northwestern german city of us not book. so we set out to find him. but we soon discover that he's given out a number of fake addresses. we go to inquire at one of the locations. we show the photograph of the suspect to one of the residents he tells us that he's been living here for 20 years and has never seen the man in the photo. but then we strike lucky. we meet someone who knows mohammad us from doing a german language course. he tells us mohammad has smoked a lot and seemed restless and stressed none of the other pupils knew where he lived if he met up with anyone then only in town. we're told that even when he has his furniture delivered he has it dropped at this open space. his behavior is certainly unusual. finally right nearby we f

and i are from the same part of northern aleppo from honduras. soon after the start of the uprising in syria in 2011 he set up a militia called the out could see brigade. and capture that he started being very aggressive towards ordinary civilians especially demonstrators he would beat them lock them up and kill them. did not only hear about the crimes committed by the brigade he says he even witnessed some of them. according to him the militia was led by 2 men one of whom was mohammed s. . there appeared to be at least 2 groups that are fought in syria under the name of coots one has been mainly active in northern aleppo. we find propaganda videos posted online by the group. on one mohammed just takes a reporter from a lebanese broadcaster through the rubble of his neighborhood showing her from where they were shot at and where the fighters have been hiding. the brigade is considered part of the so-called shut behind network of state sponsored militia largely made up of former civilians armed by the regime of bashar assad. german authorities inv

the capital the muscles and the end for highway connecting aleppo in the north the coastal region with latakia there so this is very important for bashar al assad he will not stop his. his. his offensive until he reaches the school and this will push the people further north we could maybe foresee a kind of safe zone or from the perspective of the syrians there would be an open air prison to name it very strongly to host all these people there because this region north of these 2 high was not that important for president assad nobody wants to take these people in either europe nor turkey nor anybody else they're afraid of the 10s of thousands of fighters in there as well so this would not be a stable situation and it would be a humanitarian catastrophe if the international community does not take up its responsibility at least for this small pocket that probably most of the inhabitants of the board end up in some major implications in terms of what is happening on the ground right now in syria person author in syria analyst putting it into context for us thank you pleasure. israel's pr

there to wait for president assad to take this area you have other took us protectorates north of aleppo you have a frame but these. small pockets that cannot cannot really allocate that number of people so this is one is the other wants to create this zone east of the new photos and this is very important because it's a curtiss controlled area and this will change obviously the demographic of the region i mean to reset the 1000000 arab syrians that are now inside turkey would really create a lot of social rift and it would make any kind of social reconciliation there are difficult and you know just in terms of sheer numbers we're talking about 3500000 syrians who have already fled to neighboring turkey our correspondent you leon is actually based in turkey she was just speaking with people on the streets how they were assessing the situation and the presence of refugees there and have a listen to what she have to say and then get your team in. turkey can host more refugees from syria we've reached our limit. to more young turkish people are dying while fighting in syria but what do youn

when russia invaded ukraine or when russia began bombarding the a ton of aleppo in syria created omens where the security council itself had a veto from the founding of the u.n.. you could create some form of accountability by being a truth teller and you can negotiate behind-the-scenes even with those you want to strangle. i tell the story in the book i was extremely close with the russians ambassador who i was having public confrontations with but working to fight isis and to cut off their financial which was a big part of rolling back their gains. for me it was exactly the right venue to combine public diplomacy and private relentlessness on behalf of u.s. interests. i also have a chance but because of the most powerful country in the world to make sure that we were treating countries and away that signaled that we respected the dignity of individuals who representative them. for example it was the first of the nasiter who visited every country that has a mission to the u.n. other than north korea with whom we don't have diplomatic relations. by virtue of doing that i believe i've g

the swallow crosses half the country from lubumbashi to aleppo and is the only link between remote villages and the outside world. the swallow has been around for more than 50 years. the old engine was bought 2nd hand in south africa. a relay of 10 drivers is needed to cover the 1600 kilometer journey. yes but. the driver is 63 years old mr malone go has one of the hardest parts of the trip. 120 kilometers of trouble see above the river where we've never done that i said as i got so remember that is an assumption that i thought about said you're already a physical that's why the trip was to sever is that there is yet i don't have a problem. mr malone go is the monster on board and supplements his income by allowing 10 passengers to travel in the driver's cabin. it's as close as he gets to 1st class on the train. and. back in 2nd class the challenge is to avoid stepping on someone as you try and move around the carriage. it's something claim all can't get used to. the player but it was said on bus in the us he said it could be said all pervasive myth about the what was said to come in my hea

people with 30 kilometer a large number and would cut us off from an important broad that leads to aleppo it is impossible the administration would accept this because of the impact on our daily lives goodish administered northeastern syria has been relatively peaceful after y p g fighters pushed out i saw earlier in the war the u.s. considers the kurds their most important partner in the fight against isis but turkey says the y p g is allied to the kurdistan workers party the p.k. k. so its long term presence along the border won't be tolerated. the p.k. k. which was formed in turkey 41 years ago is considered a terrorist group by ankara the e.u. and the us government if the fighters withdraw from the border area it will hurt us there the only force that stops corruption in the region credit cards are united states interests with those as well as the kurds we also know that the kurds are the only ones who successfully stood against isis so it's in america's interest to keep them on site the withdrawal deal was reached after turkey repeatedly warned it would send its military into norther

focus really is on it live it seems that there is a similar approach being taken to the outside of aleppo whereby the turkish side finds a way to ensure that's armed military opposition groups that are stationed in those areas are withdrawn or at least the. fights in this war and the russians ensure that the regime of bashar al assad stops bombing people as well as its own force and the iranians obviously withdraw their militia and supports from there what is in it for each side well the turks obviously as you mentioned there was a concern that increased fighting would. result in a spillover of refugees into turkey but more importantly turkey has been undertaken . a policy over the past 2 years to try and resettle syrian refugees back to safe areas within syria will be it's barely within syria you are talking about the 1st few kilometers on the syrian side of the border with turkey it didn't through when it took over a job loss in other areas and it's hoping to do the same in domestically the issue of syrian refugees in turkey has been playing more and more of a sense of state role in the

they started by working on an area by area so we remember several months back it 1st started with aleppo and now as you mentioned the focus here has been on italy and an attempt to try and ensure that there would be a suspicion of hostilities there namely by the but charlotte assad regime as well as the russian air force as you mentioned their key. interest is to ensure that there is a safe zone in that area not only to ensure that there are more syrian refugees coming into turkey but in fact so that there can be an opposite direction of movements whereby turkey would be able to really house or. treats some of the millions of refugees that are conquering psyche considering that the issue of syrian refugees and become such an important one in turkish domestic but it's called discourse obviously the russians as well have their interest with regards to this war and wanting to wind it down and the iranians as well but there are sticking points including the presence of turkish military and how far that will go . including support from the russians and maybe other countries towards kurdish se

the continued targeting of civilian areas namely in italy province as well as the countryside of aleppo when the reason why these protests have been taking place is that since the sochi agreement that was made several months ago between russia and turkey and obviously with raney an agreement some sort of the escalation zone would be established despite agreements up until the end of august more than a 1000 civilians have been killed by the russians as well as by the regime of bashar assad so the syrian people calling on the charts as well as international community and those who have been behind these agreements to find some sort of way to put an end to it this coincides with the increase rhetoric by certain sections of the turkish political spectrum that has been quite frankly anti syrian refugee in its nature has been calling for some sort of a solution to the more than 2000000 possibly even 3000000 refugees in syria for these protests albeit not massive a number but the fact that it is the 2nd week running is significant and will have a lot of people monitoring to see what's will dev
