al assad's forces we know that bashar al assad would not be able to have this offensive without the support of russia but does russia have the same interests in this conflict the same interest as bashar al assad. well it does and the reason is that this province is dominantly under the control of high at the lido shum which is being renamed such only recently earlier it was known as java the list was an ally of terrorist organization al qaeda experts believe in there isn't enough evidence to suggest that it still has ties with al qaeda this is a problem for russians because several of the russian fighter had also come in and joined this outfit and they just don't think that it's viable for them to elect this outfit continue at a time that they want in several other parts of city as if they don't want. to continue higher than you know sam has also sent unmanned aerial we close to russian bases inside the us so they do see eye to eye with the seat in government when it comes to a fact that it's the province whereas if you talk about turkey and russia then there are interests do. they

would not stop bashar assad from all this is the last huge battle he has president putin has invested a lot of money militarily as well into keeping him in power and this is important before you know sealing this diplomatically yeah he will let him just go ahead for one of those if turkey is successful convincing russia not to go full throttle with this offensive is do you think it's possible then that bashar al assad would say ok i'm not going to have russia one hundred percent behind me i'm going to pull out the chemical weapons if i have to do you think you would do this. no president assad for him is very important to take the whole of syria and to politically cleans it the idea is that he will not leave people there who stood up against his will by peaceful means or by military means the idea is not fine against terrorism you know talk about extremist groups that they're right to hate a sham is an important and influential group that's right but the find is not against these terrorist groups we've seen this in different nots he was always punishing the civilian population for liv

of the pecan pie chose to live in close to the pick up time so everybody agreed to the fact that bashar assad will stay in power so he's going to win he's going to win this war militarily this doesn't mean that he can win the peace because he would need to rebuild. country he would need a lot of money and this is really a piece of the great he will keep on voting see what i feel which means that people don't i'm not allowed to say anything his prisons are still filled up with people yes they are and the only thing that europe should do really right now is not to normalize relations with this machine to help the activists in the first place that's not for democracy or human rights or their dignity in the first place that by the way inside it because they were expelled from all these are other areas that's right they were forced there they were forcibly expelled to live and they you know they founded these underground schools they founded libraries women sent us you sent us they all being there and i think the last thing that europe should do they work with these people they give them mon

human rights says russian warplanes carried out the attacks on behalf of its ally syrian president bashar al assad his regime is preparing its forces ready to close in on one of the last enclaves of rebel resistance. the united nations wants the assault to stop before it reaches the city of it live and its three million residence. we cannot at war and it because it's filled to the brim with the internally displaced which have been yes we have been for sanity know at the end hopefully of this but worse for one generation civilians hoping to flee to the nearby border with turkey may be met with force turkey has moved military hardware to block another mass influx of refugees. meanwhile in it live a lesson in patience schools of carrying on with classes half full some parents keeping their children close as they await the unthinkable. such scenes of normality could be erased after friday when regional powers are due to hold a summit which may decide the fate of the people of it live rebels and children alike. did abuse until vora is following the story for us from beirut hi i'm sure this is

these fighters of the living close to the pick up time so everybody agreed to the fact that bashar al assad will stay in power so he's going to win he's going to win this war won militarily this doesn't mean that he can win the peace because he would need to rebuild the country he would need a lot of money and this is really a piece of the great he will keep on voting see me up i fear which means that people don't i'm not allowed to say anything his prisons are still filled up with people as they are and the only thing that europe should do really right now is not to normalize relations with this machine to help the activists in the first place that's not for democracy or when wise or their dignity in the first place that by the way inside it because they were expelled from all these are other areas that's right they were forced they're able to forcibly expel to live and they you know they found at these underground schools they founded libraries women sent us you sent us they all being there and i think the last thing that europe should do they work with these people they give them m

what about russia and what about bashar al-assad's forces?e know that bashar al-assad would not be able to have this offensive without the support of russiaia, but does russia a have same interest in this conflict as bashar al-assad? anchal: well, it does. and the reason is that this province is dominantly under the control as an ally of al qaeda. experts believe, and there's enough evidence to suggest that they still have ties t to al qaeda. this is a problelem for russians because several of the r russian fighters have also joined this outfit and they do not thinknk t is viable for them to let this outfit continue at a time they wawant in several other price of syria. so they do not want it to continue. they have alsoso sent unmanned aerial vehicles to russian bases in syria. so they do seeee eye-to-eye wiwh the syririan government t when t comes to attacking the idlib province. whereas if you talk ababout tury and russia, they have similar interests because russia does not want its reputation to be worse than it already is, so it wants to

these discussions today look we want to see nothing else nothing short of a military victory for bashar al assad and that means you take it live. well basically you know the russian position as it has always been is that damascus president assad is the legitimate government of syria and therefore the people who are moving against him will have moved against him over the past seven years of this conflict are essentially terrorists or little better than terrorists there was not much credence given in moscow at the beginning of this conflict to the idea that some are moderate opposition groups and some are more hardline opposition groups basically russia has long considered them pretty much the same deal so yes russia's position is that damascus has to reassert control over as much of the country as it can it has a different perspective from damascus about how exactly that should be done so i think damascus has been more brutal more hardline in its approach to this conflict than moscow has moscow has to listen to the concerns of countries like turkey is trying to build up a kind of coaliti

in the north east of syria this is the major idea now of president and he will be ready to accept bashar assad staying in power and the assad regime is. it's border he would prefer the assad regime at its border rather than the p.y.g. these high dose of the beacon titles to living close to the picture can so everybody really agree to the fact that bashar assad will stay in power so he's going to he's going to win this militarily this doesn't mean that he can win the peace because he would need to rebuild the country he would need a lot of money and this is really a piece of the great he will keep on voting syria by fear which means that people don't i'm not allowed to say anything his prisons are still sit up with people as they are and the only thing that europe should do really right now is not to normalize relations with this regime to help the activists in the first place that stuff for democracy or human rights or their dignity in the first place that by the way inside it because they were expelled from all these are other areas it's right there were a force there they were forcibly

nightmare in syria for the people on the ground it's been almost everything's been in vain because bashar al assad is going to stay in power there's going to be no political change and there are going to be more people who are refugees in turkey for example is going to seal the border and says we don't want you to come over here nobody cares for syrians really i mean everybody is busy with his own interests turkey for example is very busy with kind of controlling kurdish autonomy in the north east of syria this is the major idea now of president out of one and he will be ready to accept bashar assad staying in power when the assad regime is at its border he would prefer the assad regime at its border rather than the p y d these fighters of the beacon titles to living close to the pick up time so everybody agreed to the fact that bashar assad will stay in power so he's going to he's going to win this war militarily this doesn't mean that he can win the peace because he would need to rebuild. country he would need a lot of money and this is really a piece of the great he will keep on voting

also the european union plus turkey and the gulf arab states that decided to top of the regime of bashar al assad when the revolt in syria started in two thousand and eleven not because he was a brutal dictator which of course he is but because they wanted to install a regime that is pro western rather than pro russian however both the russians the iranians and the chinese were not willing so have the west's succeed in syria and in the end they were more. stroup smarter in understanding the setup of the syrian conflict and they managed to avoid the regime to regain control of most of the country ok i want to pick up on that at the moment bringing it back to ad lib itself what would you expect from the rebels themselves would you expect them to use the civilians essentially as hostages and shields the jihadi rebels totally they will do so they have been doing so in the past weeks already they do not care about civilian casualties they are no different than them until the tea from those holding power in damascus and it was a strong arrow of western countries to support these people believi

president bashar al assad of syria must not recklessly attack idlib province. the russians and the iranians would be making a grave humanitarian mistake to take part in this tragedy.

concerned with expanding their influence in the region they want a unified syria under president bashar al assad. seven years of war in syria have left at least three hundred fifty thousand dead millions of refugees and a country in ruins if the offensive on it does go ahead as many as eight hundred thousand people could be forced to move again which. is anyone's guess i. have been hearing if there is another vast influx of refugees from syria the destabilization of areas just across its border is present but it following those talks into. turkey right now is hosting three point five million syrian refugees. population is three point five million people right now. turkey does not have the resources or the power to host a further three point five million people. we need to take joint steps to prevent migration from this area and to do that. we need to be successful in the fight against terrorism. do turkey correspondent judy han well can you hear what's at stake here for to take. well eat live for turkey is a major security concern not only because the battle over could lead to a final d

syria's civil war may soon and but not without one final humanitarian crisis as the government of bashar al assad has reclaimed one city and region after another its opponents have been driven into smaller areas many are now concentrating in the northern province of idlib recent statements from the government and the russia have hinted that a push to retake this last major rebel held area may begin soon we begin with this report from stephanie decker who is just across the border from it live in the turkish city of antakya. all eyes now on the rebel held province of the syrian government has always said it was going to take it back and it seems an offensive is now imminent what form will this offensive take that remains the question will it be limited will it be an all out war while there's intensive negotiations going on behind the scenes between turkey between the russians and also rebel groups on the ground particular group called hired shadow this group formerly associated with al qaida known as the mr front that is the main issue this is what russia and syria say are terrorists and

well they do and they don't russia has been backing bashar al assad and the backing of several rebel factions so they're not united wife but they did come together in the stomach process the u.s. is next take the lead and essentially has given this theater to russia to handle some brush i can also be cleared later now russia's concerns i does not want to ruin his reputation more than it already has people into doing so in conflict because it is asking the e.u. and others to be on the reconstruction because it wants to lead the politically conciliation process that happens after the war is over whereas turkey what turkey's saying is look we don't want any more refugees that is already home to three million people a few million refugees ever get fired in anger duckie saying is give us more time so we can we can this extremist group have them in a fight among each other and so we can contain the conflict now when the meeting happens and friday the two powers of essentially expected to hopefully come up with a solution that the conflict and it can be not entirely good up. until for our r

bashar assad did it, he says.resident trump's national security advisor john bolton said the u.s. officials were working with france and the united kingdom to coordinate a response just in case bashar al-assad depose ahead with a chemical attack. john bolton warned the reaction will be stronger than the missile strike launched in the past. our national security correspondent jennifer griffin is following this live at the pentagon. jen? >> shepard, we just spoke to mattis following the 9/11 ceremony. he said the russian bombing of idlib has already begun. he described air operations 245 were aimed at softening up the last pocket of resistance in northwest syria. mattis would not say what the u.s. government would do if syrian president bashar assad again orders the use of chemical weapons adding -- >> he has been warned and the first time around he will have 17% of his air force airplanes. he has been warned and so we will see if he has wised up. >> the trump administration has twice before carried out airstrikes a

telling the international community basically that they have to come to terms with the fact that bashar assad has the upper hand and that is just a matter of time before the syrian army takes over the whole of syria now even if the syrians take over the territories the last of the opposition there will have to deal with a particular issue which is the presence of the turkish army of the northern part of the country french and american troops based in the eastern part of syria they are there to provide assistance to the kurdish militias operating there now for the syrian foreign minister what is the marlin those troops have to pull out otherwise the syrian army will use force let's listen to what the syrian farmers have to say in. any foreign presence on syrian territory without the consent of the syrian government is illegal and constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and the un charter it's an assault on our sovereignty which undermines counterterrorism efforts and threatens regional peace and security we therefore consider any forces operating on syrian territory without

they chant against bashar assad the syrian president to a survived an eight year rebellion against his rule the opposition has been all but defeated all they have left is their voices. no constitution no reconstruction until a third leaves power that is there tomorrow and it's a message the syrians in villages and towns across the rebel controlled province of idlib are sending to the international community. we are afraid this new constitution would not be any different and it won't be in the favor of the opposition we are concerned because some countries are now moving closer to the regime. for weeks there were fears of a major assault against the province today there is a sense of relief following a deal between russia and turkey that will at least for the time being. prevent bombing and displacement. russia and iran gave priority to ties with turkey over regaining control of it lib turkey had warned a government offensive in the province would be a breaking point in their alliance but it wasn't just that a bloodbath would hurt russia's efforts to convince the international community

syrian president bashar al assad has vowed to recapture every inch of territory from the rebels and that is slowly been happening the syrian government has made major gains especially since russia joined the war three years ago it was now the last holdout for asset right now the turkish army controls a string of military posts around it live trying to prevent a government assault. a government offensive means there will be no place left for rebel fighters and their families to go stephanie decker reports from the turkey syria border. this northwestern corner of syria represents the last hopes of the rebel opposition government forces have steadily recaptured region after region under so-called reconciliation deals the fighters they didn't want to live under government control here with their families how little ahmed was a fighter in the southern province of that are the most recent area taken back by government troops he shows us video of when he was involved in the war and like so many others who chose to leave he doesn't trust the government. i see the reconciliation is a big mistake

are moving fast and the situation could have changed a great deal by then well the syrian president bashar assad has vowed to recapture every inch of territory from the rebels and that slowly been happening the syrian government has made major gains especially since russia joined the war three years ago but is now the last remaining major prize for an aside and right now the turkish army controls a string of military posts around it live trying to prevent a government assault stephanie decker has more from a highly near turkey's border with syria. after three weeks of quiet skies air strikes have resumed on the province particularly the southwest of the province there have been civilian casualties including five children and most of the airstrikes were around the area of additional sure this is an area that rumor over the last couple of weeks had it that perhaps a first phase of this expected offensive would take place it's too early to tell whether this is the start of the offensive certainly has been quiet over the last couple of hours but there are huge concerns when it comes to this lo

security council regularly to protect damascus to protect bashar al assad from all of these war crimes. more subtly russia has been working on the grounds though in syria negotiating with opposition groups trying to peel them away one by one and get them to defect to the government side that has had some success and. it's you know it's something that turkey would like more time given to that process that's not to say that russia has everything its own way in syria in this kind of intense crucible of ryal polat seek that is the syrian war it has made itself the kind of key diplomatic and military broker. but it also has to listen to outside states it has to listen to turkey has to take on board turkey's concerned as stephanie was just saying there and of course then there's also this this complex problem of what to do are there the war is over how to rebuild syria now russia is going to have to take on some of that's responsibility itself but it is also trying to intreat other countries to take part as well it wants the europeans to come in something the europeans are very reluctant to

forces i think it was a masses of the international community to recognize the fact that president bashar assad now has the upper hand and that is just about time before the his army can take over the province of which is the last remaining stronghold for the rebels in syria but there's absolutely no way that the syrian army can take any action against this troops for one simple reason because the in terms of military capabilities the syrian army pales in comparison to the presence of the turkish french or american troops took you for example made it quite clear that their presence in syria will continue and till they are sure that the kurdish militias operating in the area will move of the euphrates the americans and the french made also quite clear that their presence is to provide assistance to the. to the kurdish militias in their fight against isis so this is something i think that ultimately will come down to the moment the international community and the three key players russia france sorry turkey france and the u.s. decide it's time to pull of forces from there and what about his

if united states and the west will not do anything regarding the people fence if not to stop the bashar assad and its own las so turkey may you know open the borders of turkey so that the current three point five million refugees that are residing in turkey may come to europe because at the end of the day nowadays according to reports we have with what we understand that there are three million people in italy. come to turkey and turkey. made it very clear that they cannot carry does burden anymore yeah just following up and not on chris say the syrian government offensive. that it should stop and if it doesn't is to muss is going to listen what kind of reaction in effect could we expect from opening the borders anything else. well turkey again they don't want to open the borders they'd they told that very clearly that they cannot have this burden anymore and in this regard turkey's trying to differentiates. different groups like. sham which is considered as a shot and it is also considered as a terrorist organization also by turkey about from the other hand turkey sees some other group
