our state department correspondent tom bateman gave us this update on the talks from ankara.re crucial discussions between mr blinken and president erdogan here in ankara. there have long been tensions between turkey and the americans, specifically over the role of the syrian democratic forces, what the americans see as the moderate, mostly kurdish, but also arab fighters, particularly in the east and parts of the north of syria, backed by the americans, equipped and trained by the americans, holding territory there in which it is part of the american official american operation there to counter islamic state group. there are also camps in which is fighters and theirfamilies are held. now with the sudden change of the situation in syria, what we've seen over the last week is turkish backed groups are pushing back and fighting some areas, fighting against the sdf in some of the areas held by the sdf, including a strategically important town called manbij. now the americans and the turks have been talking about this. they've come to some agreements in places, but those tensions

she is travelling with the german for a minister in ankara because of a turkish present is seeking to isolate kurdish groups in syria and denied them international support. what's germany's position on that of the whole germany and most of all once to prevent any further escalation than any fragmentation in sir? uh, and that's also something that took. he says it wants, it doesn't want an unstable clark method state next door. at the same time, it does not want to see any kind of desire for independence of the courtesy people, but also now in this moment of instability. so it appears to be seeking the moment cooling for everybody to stop cooperating with any curtis group and the groups. and that also includes the y d g which is a group that is in charge of holding tens of thousands of a i. s isn't mist terrorist and that they themselves are seen as a factor forced it, but it seems to keep by the americans. and this complicates matters to great degree . and the open question now is which we talk, you will go after just surprised by its own significance in supporting this rebel grouping

do you feel those calls have been successful so far and secretary blinken is also headed to ankara. i know that's not your institution but how hopeful are you that those talks are going to be fruitful, successful in stopping any kind of new offensives against s.d.f.? sabrina: we have a great relationship with our turkish counterparts throughout the administration. as you mentioned, we have the secretary of state going to the region i think this week or if not today, secretary austin engaged his turkish counterpart earlier this week. so the conversations are ongoing. understanding that the dynamics on the ground in syria are dynamic and, you know, turkiye certainly faces threats from within syria and they have the right to also protect themselves. but that's why we're continuing to have these conversations. not just with turkiye, but with other stakeholders in the region when it comes to syria. reporter: thanks. going off of that. the fighting between the kurds and the turkish-backed groups obviously has raised concerns about the security of the isis facilities and camps, the facilit

ankara is there as well. they are there, really well. as our friends are there as well. boy. this is really complicated. >> in that equation, we should talk to them. and what about turkey? i was going to bring it up. us and turkey had, how can i describe it, not the most favorite sour relationship over the last few years in a diplomatic way. >> my son is a foreign service officer and he was there 412345 years. i went there to her 3 times a year and i wanted to get my grandkids, okay. for the government. >> don't i know. ..it. [laughter] so, i'm going to ask this for all of the players here. what influence do you think the u.s. can have at this point and perhaps if you could break it down to biden administration versus trump administration. without the biden administration in their final days. trump administration is trump administration is incoming. what is in for hts to listen to this administration? how can you navigate that? >> so biden didn't do enough for damascus, okay? but i know that that is real problem, okay? but trump the same we do want to be anything involved to

the syrian national army, which is backed by ankara, has been attempting to take over territory everof bashar al—assad began collapsing last week. normal life is gradually returning to the syrian capital. the islamist rebel leadership has chosen the man who's been running most of idlib province as interim prime minister. some civil servants have been urged return to work. there have been further celebrations on the streets of the capital. lina sinjab has this report. hundreds of blasts like this one were seen and heard across the country, syrians left sleepless by the explosions. the syrian observatory says there have been more than 300 israeli strikes since assad was toppled. israel is also increasing its presence in the golan heights. it says it wants to protect its borders. translation: i instructed the idf to seize the bufferl zone between us and syria, and the positions controlled and adjacent here. this also includes the summit of hermon, what is called the syrian hermon. military bases and weapons storage facilities have been targeted. they don't want them to fall into the han

again, a lot of that will have to do with what ankara and erdogan wants.i hope, as you said earlier, he's getting along with the u.s. there's a lot of things the u.s. should demand, one is hands off the christian, the jews and the kurds. everyone has tremendous hatred for the kurds, and the kurds have worked with the u.s. hand in glove against the islamic state in northeastern syria. those are our comrades in arms, they should be protected too. i hope trump will. paul: so the u.s. has a base in syria. it's not a large base, something like 900 servicemen and women. their mission has been to stop the return of eye lis, islamic state, there -- isis. is it something that the u.s., trump should keep even though he says syria isn't our fight? >> yes, i think so. and those 900 american is servicemen, most of them who are quite elite, again, they've been working particularly with the kurds. some arab allies as well. and their basic mission has been to suppress the islamic state, to prevent the islamic state from creating another caliphate. also to keep a lot of is

syria in addition to that the foreign minister of iran was yesterday in damascus and is today in ankararder to find a solution for that. also talks between saudi arabia and turkey because of the relationship between them and around and russia were determined to support them in order to get back the territories. but in the negotiation will hayes to datum help to ease tension because the differences between turkey and syria, refugees and migrants in turkey, and they are considered by turkey as terrorists and threaten national security so there a need for talks between syria and turkey held by around, saudi arabia, emirates and russia. in order to get over what is happening these days. all right. thank you very much. let's speak to dr simon frankel pratt, senior lecturer in political science at the university of melbourne. good to have you on bbc news. listening to the latest developments, give us your take on why this has erupted now. well, i think that this is a tipping point to the fact that there is a combination of factors and they all come together in just the right way is to lead to

how do you think that ankara will be viewing this right now?ts next move could be? turkey is playing a huge role _ its next move could be? turkey is playing a huge role in _ its next move could be? turkey is playing a huge role in these - playing a huge role in these developments and it's playing a huge role in these developments and its expected to play an even bigger role in the future. if we are looking at the geopolitical map of what is happening to try to understand the regional powers. for turkey commit sees that iran is weaker today than it used to be before. around seven years ago, there was an agreement between russia, turkey and iran that is known as... that did divided —— divided the influence inside syria. today turkey sees that iran is weaker and turkey should be the one who should feel —— fill in the vacuum. they have two major goals today. one is to pressure asad to negotiate and probably to offer some concessions in the north that allows syrian refugees to go back. second, which is also very important is to push against the kurd

in ankara, the president of the e you commission met the turkish president to discuss the situation in syria, presidents or to wants us to or to you will not allow syria to become a base for armed curtis separatists center across the world. glue has more, a man's visits on colorado is the 1st visit, said rolled in her 2nd monday, and she gave a lot of importance to the visits um, it'd before she met with the circus present friendship type dog. she stated that you're acknowledges that add on is an influential t regional player when it comes to syria. so today during a joint press conference by add on and from the land a we with this a new beginning, new page open for to kit you and relations. and also for the future of syria and people. both sides try to cooperate in the best way for the continuation of the syrian assistance and assistance and rebuilding life and reconstruction in syria. along with establishing tours between the european union countries and the new administration in syria, that's a, that's over through the bashar assad government to kia has a very defense full knowledge

born in ankara, she's exhibited all over the world, and recently returned from showing her work at thet it, as well? it is. but at the same time, they can carry my stories on it. yeah, that's beautiful. i love that. gunes mostly uses fabrics, often employing locally—sourced materials, and you could spend hours just examining the detail. each piece is deeply personal and can take a whole year to make. first, i'm drawing on paper, a little on the bus, on the train, in the park. i'm drawing, drawing, drawing, writing, and in my studio, i'm making compositions. sometimes, the ideas come from my dreams, or some daily routines, or some amusing parts. gunes' grandmother was a tailor, and i wondered if her influence had been handed down through the generations. i love the humour and openness in her work. and can i ask you what that is? so, it looks like a fox belching out baby foxes to me. yeah, yeah, it's like a circle. it's turning. it's like nature. in a cycle of life? cycle of life. but is it a fox? yeah, it is — it depends on... exactly. my fanciful interpretation is it's a fox with baby

these are ankara-backed militias taking advantage. what dyou think is erdogan's objective?emains the same, to liquidate the kurdish presence on his border, establish 20-mile deep buffer zones which would require a induced construction of the kurdish areas, where they have been able to survive for the past 10 years. further ethnic cleansing of the kurdish populations. these missions that you mention, the syrian national army, relatively disciplined compared to hds, violent criminals, unconcerned with assad but hell bent on seizing territory from the kurdish population. christian: it's a peculiar position that hundreds of thousands of kurds in syria now. under assad, there was no love lost, they had no representation, but in this new reality, the semiautonomouarea of the country they were running is now open to question. there is the risk yet again that the kurds are destabilized and end up with no say at all on the areas in which they live. >> absolutely. saddam hussein denied the kurdish identity, and now erdogan is trying to repeat the same policy. kurds, syrians have been

it's now go over to tech here where we can speak just didn't consider issues in ankara for us. this is one of us actually have states and i'm is visiting speaking to the president on a foreign minister that took us through what is topping his agenda in relation to syria of the 12 minutes. they go around 1015 minutes, they go, actually the meeting between the us secretary generals a link to and then to this for administer the down already begin a blank and the rise in the capital on colorado's thursday night. and as soon as you arrive at the ports v i p a law and a he met with turkish president treasure type r don, who was also fly and goes to another city. a 1st presence, add on, and blaze contains about a violate trouble relations. frank sends us a trickier bilateral ties into 2 people to discuss the details about syria. and there is something in common, a between true key and the united states. they want security stability and territorial integrity within syria. and they want the new government to be successful. of course, both sides on site at some points have conflicting in

also around 50000 people living around the lake itself, who dispose of their based on the shore to ankara and her father have come here for a vacation from ireland. they're disappointed with the state of the lake. i think as always this conversation with a like that it's going to be nice and blue but i think very different because they're living on that. and obviously you can see there's a lot of rubbish and a lot of plastics that are still just throwing in a 65 year old while i'm a sewer has long had enough of the situation every 20 days or so. he and other residents of his village set about collecting the garbage left behind by both local people and taurus. but he knows that more needs to be done. the influx of waste water into the lake has to stop, he says. and so for several years now, he has also been working to develop a local sewage system. you use the tenure drainage system, you are looking at to you was inspired by one rebuild print to yours, or what would you call them? with house family dug trenches for 21 houses you belong with and the drainage flows down to a deep bit. we mad

and 2 kids stand on opposite sides of the syria. conflict and representatives of both sides were in ankara to discuss the crisis center because we have who has moved from high to on the took us syria border of the this is it lives university hospital. now a green reminder of the cost, the for bombing hospitals remains a war crime under international law. yet such strikes, continue. this flare up and fighting over this long run and conflict has sent diplomats in action once again in on colorado, turkish for administer. how confident hosted as a brand new encounter part of bus, a rock g fresh from talks in damascus. they attend this clear what is next for syria in this long and devastating conflict? surely they give a shout, but just follow the techs out of the reason for the why spread police who wrapped in again is the issue, is remaining results for the course of the last 15 years. the less than the demands of the position had been ignored. antecedent origin did not engage with the poor pickup process. seriously, i saw them. i talked to her on colorado, stand on opposite sides of the conf

so, at this point we are going to have to do defer to ankara. the next two weeks, several months, going forward? i think this is going to play itself out. i don't trust the politics of the middle east. i spent too long there and it's too easy for situations like this to spin out of control and then sectarian violence will spread. that's probably the best bet. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. now, let's look at some other news making headlines in the uk. the first victims of the contaminated blood scandal will receive final compensation payments in the coming days. ten people have been offered compensation totalling more than £13 million. nearly £12 billion has been set aside to compensate the 32,000 people are contracted hiv and hepatitis from contaminated blood products in the 19705 and 19805. about 3000 people died after being given tho5e product. england's nhs direct 5ay5 product. england's nhs direct say5 ho5pital5 product. england's nhs direct say5 hospitals are being hit by a tidal wave of flu and other winter viru5e5.

nations involved in the syrian piece process. iran, i'm sitting here as the top supervisor me in ankara. both farm is ugly. the syrian needs to be stabilized. as soon as possible now, and we heard from the federal university professor, the said, well, how many? but i need who pointed out to the timing of the terrace offensive in syria. i made this seems like isn't that, but on is not a co incidence be kind for our i then i says uh groups that were a station alongside the syrian i could occupied syria and go on. and they were supported by this really raising their injured militants. would be taken inside israel for treatment and measure any regime would bomb syrian forces office when they paddled them near the border. and of course, we know that the americans let this whole dirty war again, syria, they supported different terrace groups, a jake sullivan, who is the current national security advisor of the president sat in an email on february, the 12th 2012 to hillary clinton. that mc area find outside is on our side. okay, the, the is on our side, meaning a decade after 911, the united

how confident in ankara. turkey is pushing to disarm the main kurdish lead party in northern syria. the s b s. it sees them as an extension of the kurdish workers party. encore is main domestic enemy. bare bulk has warranty, but the serial must not become what she calls the placing of foreign powers. dw is because of course not, is travelling with the german foreign minister. she told us how germany is viewing turkeys efforts to isolate kurdish in groups in syria of the whole germany. most of all wants to prevent any further escalation in any fragmentation in sierra. and that's also something that turkey says it once. it doesn't want an unstable, segmented state next door. at the same time, it does not want to see any kind of desire for independence of the kurdish people, but also now in this moment of instability. so it appears to be seeking the moment cooling for everybody to stop cool for anything with any curtis group and the groups. and that also includes the y d g which is a group that is in charge of holding tens of thousands of a i. s is the most terrorist and that they them

also around 50000 people living around the lake itself, who dispose of their based on the shore to ankara and her father have come here for a vacation from ireland. they're disappointed with the state of the lake. i think as always, this country sir, for so like that it's going to be nice and blue but i think very different because they're living on it. and obviously you can see there's a lot of rubbish and a lot of plastics that are still just throwing in a 65 year old while i'm a source has long had enough of the situations every 20 days or so. he and other residents of his village set about collecting the garbage left behind by both local people and tourist. but he knows that more needs to be done. the influx of waste water into the lake has to stop, he says. and so for several years now, he has also been working to develop a local sewage system. you use the tenure drainage system you are looking at to you was inspired by one be billed 20 or so what would you call them? with house family dug trenches for 21 houses you belong with. okay. and the drainage flows down to a deep bit. we mad

they're right in i and so therefore i'm it says have merits in ankara to discuss the crisis and syria bias as representatives of russia shouldn't care. i knew ron all set, does it tasks a recent escalation on the sidelines? well, the doha forum on this this weekend and set her on the envelope pointed the finger i the us. i have it as well, same both dates of boxing and the terrace boot sleeping through the country, missouri and go to hide according to our information active terrorist groups in syria have close ties with the united states and design is regime. and these groups are trying to divert attention from the crimes of the zionist regime in palestine and 11 on they have encouraged the creation of insecurity in syria waiting press about so the so full of washington provides service within the city or the usa department. so it wasn't denied any involvement. we know that you are against the dream and you are against the h s h d s a. but in the past you supported the levels. the titles do support them now the invasion or they are really taking off. so the categories and see the so w

instead of these in ankara and any of the other major regional or the capitals for a renewal of this civil war. that doesn't work in favor of the rebels, because they will need significant external support patronage. to turn this into something more than simply a, a lightning offensive design to take a left for it. maybe of a strategic townsend and cities for what and what was the if i could bring? so i have now as a humanitarian, how do you think the international community should respond to this? what do you want to see? i mean, we're saying the 1st thing that we should ever like decide also think about it is not being that we can't get liquids, city under the bombing, or any more fighting because the huge displacement when happened. and what happened in the days if that happened, then the only way that we're trying to say that's protecting the civilians in the area. it's the priority of all the follower work. that's why we have time to, to ok to far and also as the otherwise is supporting the humanitarian asters and the organization and in the area. yeah, because we are in fact of

role of turkey and here is really a complex uh there been um, uh, the long been a dispute between ankara and damascus. and some observers now pointing the finger of blame at 30 gone, saying he wants to achieve his interest through such a conflict. and a deal at below to the kurdish groups in syria, such as the p k. k, have long been described by turkey as a terrorist in your on such a sentiment actually does exist among some activists. later today, i were just repeating unexpecting a demonstration to be held by our students. an active is to condemn what they call the turkish support for. quote is really tied to fury group. so there's this post heart image supporting our social media. antoine depicting are gone as the other half of benjamin netanyahu. of course, yvonne is now seeking to hold talks with turkey after his syrian trip around she headed to anchor our he's expected to hold talks with turkish officials to discuss specific situation there. of course, hopefully reach a positive conclusion. i see was elaborating on his visit and his regional tour are the are wanting official said h

we can, we expect the bombs and assemble in ankara this christmas, asymmetric. it is very hard to say, i mean, they'll certainly be incentives to do that. but i'm not sure what's going to happen on that front. and in terms of timing. i mean, if the state department in the biden regime is desperate to get things moving in the chaos in place. iran, but they make a move on about the nuclear weapon. it goes, come any on record present. it was on his left make but a, do they need the nuclear weapon before january? and can they produce a nuclear weapon in that sort of time they cause can they run or they don't need a nuclear weapon before january. i mean, there's every indication that the by did ministration is as hard line on a ran as the trumpet. ministration will be. so i think what happens on january 20th doesn't matter to the iranians with regard to develop and above. they have not made that decision yet. as best we could tell, but they're all sorts of good reasons to think they, well, there's no question that they can produce enough. is i on material for a bomb

she have a time see reports. us secretary of state met with the target president in ankara at a delicate moment. on wednesday us back curtis forces, so they degreed to a cease fire with truck is you back, sykes is in syria. could sofas, minutes of region in the countries northeast have come under attack. in the immediate officer, most of the sides will be helpful and chokes with the jo damian king. in october blinking set, the goal of his trip to the region was to calm the different factions who now seek to benefit from the full of the serial regime. i think across the board when it comes to any actors who have real interest in syria. it's also really important that this time that we all try to make sure that we're not sparking any additional conflict. however, blinking play down the ongoing is really innovation and amec sation of portions of syria currently on the way when it comes to action. that is really the 2nd, the state of purpose of those actions really is to try to make sure that equipment is been abandoned. terrace extremes, etc. but we'll be talking and we were already talking

and i was, i was trying to, has been very close to ankara and the influence of turkey will raise them because of the tech he doesn't like. because s d f is seen as a cutters backed group by, by the americans and is backed by the americas. it's this sort of power play using test on this influence that h t s. and i'm, it will show saying he doesn't want in the country, but fight by default he does have the same twins, doesn't say on either side. well, of course he has a huge influence. uh, but again, you know, i'm going to show as not to put you down. he's the, he's it either. if you're now on, he wants to get the independence and get all of his act together. and he can do this without actually reaching out to this, the f at a once, the in the interest of the syrians, if they get into another round of, of fighting with this, the app supported by the americans at this one that's helpful. you know, the interest of turkey that could be actually met without the result of the violence tear because interest is a, yeah. is a, the, the, the idea of terrorism and this could, should be actually a
