that's true you're right that there eisel is bart the biggest threat especially for the region and for the europe but we should take a look at to the mr trump's explanations and declarations that european union countries even didn't want to take their citizens from the eisel counts so how can we believe that europe really wants to fight against eisel so there is only one country who is seriously fighting against isis including all kinds of terrorist organizations on the ground it is infantry that is turkey's saw if european union together with the united states and also surrounding countries as mr term said iran russia really dedicates themselves to fight against eisel turkey has already offered to american administration a very open letter that they can fight with the eisel if they are coordinated and also the supports in terms of logistics in sar in terms of intelligence sharing their fight against isis saw what we are seeing on the ground that a couple of minutes ago a department of defense of turkey has made a statement that the isolate the reasons on the region after noddle syria

and the turkish military always complain we fought against eisel is well but. having the control of those prisons and camps for turkey was was kind of unexpected they're in because this has never been on the table and some some sources say there are 10 prisons inside this. safe zone that turkey plans to have which is 30 kilometers of and the these prisons are the places where they isolate fighters are kept so this is this is that the interesting for the turkish military as well because s.d.f. also announced that they hold to their counter eisel up aeration is in that region and this was unspoken but what president fired on said on monday was that france and germany who have foreign fighters inside eisel are working on some some projects some snappiest because you know there are petri ational those iso fighters has been on edge and the hard they're going to be tried and he said that turkish presidency and the experts are also working on a kind of sad about this is unclear for now all right so it's an impossible to thank you for that update from istanbul but some

they have a much wider objective politically so as a result we may have certain beliefs about eisel that we share with the russian federation but there jack is an obvious aim of course this area that he was found and the russians could have easily and they would have easily could have found in themselves and so maybe their priority was not as focused as ours brush a ministry of defense statement is is trying not necessarily to blow the reliability but to undermine the fact that russia could any role in helping united states in this operation if the ministry of defense statement was clear and say the russian naval or support this up aeration and of course president trump noted that they didn't ask the russians for assistance there was no assistance provided they simply inform them and the russians to down again this is something that has let me at it many times before it is that u.s. forces push and sell the shared information in the gulf about these types of attacks and so i think this operation would have continued despite russian opposition need u.s. forces were prepared for any c

coalition forces and indeed the against eisel now the turkish government says that these this incursion these this operation is to try and set up some sort of safety area safe area for the return of he says around 2000000 refugees at the 3600000. syrian refugees that are here in turkey but of course this is causing huge concern on the international community and the u.n. . because of the shoot to humanitarian crisis that they see potentially is unfolding yet it's ironic that it's called a safe zone because for now at least so many people are fleeing the area do we have any idea how long they'll have to leave for if they'll be able to come back as war do we know the scope of this operation charles. well we know that certainly in the last few days that we've lost covered days that we've been here we've seen the extent of the military build up in the ceremony a substantial heavy weapons moved in we understand that up to 14000 f.s.a. troops now these are the f.s.a. fighters these are fighters with the free syrian army based in syria that long we banked by that since pretty much the beginnin

in the fight against eisel so very worrying and no doubt terrifying experience on folding before for many people living across the border now we seen this over the years haven't we families and civilians being displaced multiple times as a result of conflict and civil war in the country child now of course turkey hosts millions of refugees on its territory what if they've been saying recently about that. well turkey says this operation is described as an anti terror operation targeting the the white b.g. which is the main fighting force in the s.d.f. cools the y. ph d. a terrorist organization linked to a kurdish group that has been fighting the turkish government full full decades but its 1st aim its 2nd day in those days to try so it says in dealing with the refugee crisis in this country is around 3600000 syrian refugees inside he and the sudanese government says it wants to clear an area pushing back around 30 kilometers from the border. so it says around $2000000.00 refugees can return from this country to to their homes to those areas of course is being met with massive skeptic

a terrorist organization but why are you allying with it syria offshoots in order to fight against eisel instead of us and turkey also accuses the international platforms in some in some places that they are ignoring the turkish military is then the free syrian army is fight against eisel as well but in this part of the region generally the military operations are initiated at night the so that it was surprising that the start during the bay time but as i said for now it is limited by airstrikes and the shellings. cinema kosovo clue giving us the update from istanbul thank you let's bring in our diplomatic editor james bays he's joining us from the united nations international reaction seems to be coming in now james and what we're hearing that the e.u. is asking for a security council meeting to morrow what more do you know. yet in the last few moments in fact the belgium ambassador to the u.n. belgium is currently one of the countries of the security council in fact the e.u. countries on the security council of france the u.k. germany belgium and poland has said that those e.u. members

well of course it goes beyond one man but definitely this is a blow to eisele a few months ago in march they lost the territory they control they were confined to a small town but who was close to the iraqi border and the u.s. led military campaign force them to surrender about that he was really the man behind the creation and the expansion of. routes originate in iraq and al qaida in iraq abu bakar baghdadi he was the leader of al qaida in iraq in 2010 they were weakened by the presence of the us military in the campaign that the us military waged against the group but he managed to exploit the security vacuum in syria of course there was a civil war in the north of the country a lot of areas outside state control so he exploited that fact human order to regroup to recruit fighters and he also exploited the grievances of the sunday communities both in syria and iraq in iraq which was led by a shia led government the security forces people inside the areas in the in the center of the country they feared the government they fear the security forces so it was very easy when i saw it took

it's lost 11000 men and women fighting against eisel fighting within the ranks of the s.d.f. all the why p.j. considered by turkey to be the syrian branch of the p.k. k. or the kurdistan workers' party turkey considers them to be a terrorist organization the planned military operation into northeastern syria is a cause for major concern with fear is the move will have negative humanitarian consequences across the region well abraham kalyan a spokesman and chief advisor for the turkish president he says the goal of the operation is to secure a safe zone to create a space for refugees to return to. we've been very responsible turkey has done more than any other country for the syrian people over the last 7 years and for the syrian refugees we have about 3500000 syrian refugees living in turkey for the last 4 or 5 years and our efforts in geneva in astana through the political process have always been to help the syrian people and have done more than any other country when it comes to fighting isis or dying turkey has also done more than any other country when be eliminated more

defeated eisel here in 2050 with the help of u.s. led coalition forces. the turkish government describes the main fighting force of the s.d.f. as a terrorist organization linked to its outlawed kurdistan workers' party which is fought against the turkish government for decades the s.d.f. control around 430 kilometers of syrian territory along the turkish border they have fought and worked alongside the u.s. troops for years they say u.s. presidents don't trump's decision to withdraw all the nearly 1000 american soldiers is a stab in the back of one that gives turkey an opportunity to attack badly that turkey and how they said threats made by turkey to attack the area is not something new they have consistently done it for years we as syrian democratic forces take the matter into account and are fully prepared to fiercely respond to any imminent attack on syrian soil. turkey's government says it wants to create what it describes as a safety zone of around 30 kilometers in the site syria so around 2000000 of the 3600000 syrian refugees in turkey can return.

turkey has so far off but in the clear plan about how to deal with thousands of jailed eisel fighters the syrian side of the border. the turkish defense ministry says a ground incursion into syria has begun and there are rising fears for the hundreds of thousands of civilians living close to the border many of whom fled to s.t.'s controlled territory for safety in a country that has already suffered years of war charles strife and al-jazeera on the turkish syrian border well let's have a look at exactly at the area where all of this is taking place turkish forces and launching attacks in the town of ras. they've also gathered near the turkish border town of. it so that they will cross into the town of tele which u.s. troops recently left that town that is in territory held by the s.d.f. kurdish led forces turkey already has a presence in syria holding a number of observation points but they are in northwestern syria an area mainly controlled by turkish and rebel forces now iran's president has some rouhani has called for restraint and dialogue between turkey and the kurds. that the am

abandoning what they say is a group of fighters that were instrumental in the global effort to dismantle eisel in both syria and in iraq these politicians are now looking at passing legislation that one would punish members of the turkish government if they overplay their hand during this military operation and some of those punishments could even extend to the turkish president himself rich of tayyip erdogan on the big challenge for the legislators is coming up with a bill that they can not only get passed but also can pass once again if donald trump the u.s. president decides to veto the measure meantime the pentagon is confirming that it has moved what it's calling to high value detainees from kurdish detention camps in northeastern syria outside of the country there are numerous reports in the u.s. press indicating that 2 british members of eisel otherwise known as part of the beatles who were instrumental in the murders of james foley the u.s. journalist as well as other western hostages are being moved so that they theoretically could be brought to the united states to stand trial for th

can any turkish operation create a vacuum for eisel to be made in this area the americans seem to be preparing for such a scenario when they blame the europeans for not taking back the fight is currently being held by the kurds. so there's a possibility this is the s.d.s. slashed by crazy fighters turning their attention to confront turkey in the chaos. you know you can see isis fighters escaping you know prisoners escaping the group's reassembling and reemerging but i think. the problem of that happening once turkey takes over is not is not necessarily as bad as everyone is making it out to be once turkey takes over those areas they don't want to protect their interests we may disagree with those interests are but the turkish military is not allow isis fighters to roam around among them the story of isis and turkish. you know cooperation or a quote really was at its worst and in the early times of 201-220-1320 extension 14 when turkey was turning a blind eye to isis fighters were fighting the kurds but certainly i don't see them allowing them to roam free in areas once we take over.

his group survived the territorial defeat back that he was behind the group's creation and expansion eisel originated in al qaida in iraq back then he became its leader in 2010 he then capitalized on the unrest in neighboring syria exploiting the security vacuum it started to capture territory and changed its name to islamic state in iraq and the levant before falling out with al qaida leader ayman al-zawahiri i see now the challenges al qaida not only in syria and iraq but for the leadership of what it calls the global jihad this struggle but that he was once a prisoner and a us run jail in iraq he is believed to have been born near the iraqi city of samarra in 1971 and said to have a ph d. and islamic studies from an iraqi university giving him religious credentials it isn't known what roll back that he played in recruiting arab and foreign fighters or in orchestrating attacks abroad there have been questions about his grip on power and reports of dissent within the group's leadership but the man who declared himself caliph the would be successor. the prophet managed to elude death and c

led coalition to defeat eisel earlier this summer and he said that eisel has very successfully adapted and become a nimble insurgency and that it's important to note that the fight against eisel continues we saw that in a couple of analysts today and they believe of course if baghdadi has been killed this will have a big impact on iraq if not simply in the psyche of iraq easy also think that will have an impact on the region he does wonder however if the group will scramble for a bit as it attempts to reorient itself remember the group is severely weakened its caliphate is no more we spoke to another analyst who says that there is a possibility the if the eisel does regroup with another leader that it may in fact join force. is once again with al qaeda the other thing that we're hearing is that there is concern that perhaps i so will exact revenge attacks here in iraq there is a domestic crisis there have been days of protests here in iraq the iraqi government is highlighting the fact that it has been providing intelligence all along to the meat u.s. military and cooperating and some a

and eisel fighters in the area and i still prisoners clearly the e.u. i think would have liked this to go further and certainly we had an e.u. statement that followed the president of the security council who is only empowered really to give certain words that went a little bit further because the u.s. asked for turkey to stop its operation and then we had a statement too from the u.s. ambassador all these words in some way somewhat undercuts i think by some of the i think it's fair to say confused comments coming out earlier on from the oval office with the president of the united states who in many ways started this whole series of events in chain coming up and saying the current situation for the u.s. was strategically brilliant at the same time as the u.s. has put its name to a security council statement saying that they have concerns about the situation so u.s. policy not for the 1st time here on syria seems in a pretty confused place we also heard from vastly in the benzine who's the russian ambassador coming to talk to us at the end of this meeti

world leaders are saying the threat from eisel won't die all completely even though its leader of a car a diety is dead france and britain say his death and northwestern syria is an important moment but they will continue to work with allies in the middle east to defeat the group entirely talk now has turned to who may replace a diety as on the page of a report from rounding on the turkey syria border. that's the $1000000.00 question that everybody's asking about this radical group that now that the head has been severed from its organization who is going to replace it there are several names under consideration including the shoe was announced in august by the propaganda wing of eisel but again we don't know yet of how much of the inner circle the shura remains if still alive whether there is any infighting and if there is going to be a leader who will be known to many of these radical circles because much of isis leadership has already been wiped out from iraq and syria so this is something that a lot of analysts have looked into and they're saying that this is it is going to be a ver
