and decades of statelessness come to an end to have thousands of nomads in kurdistan. with the be cool. that they're watching. the skies in jakarta if you look at the satellite pictures and who was coming towards java well i've had a look and nothing's been reported yet the i agree that's where the rain should be going now in the forecast is nothing significant there on tuesday still most of the showers going to be further north sumatra through singapore and still a good weapon to thailand and around the corner in cambodia that's in the forecast but you can't rule out a shower to somewhere in java they are just that close and of course the rain is on its way in australia the temperature difference is becoming obvious again anything that comes in from the west of the south means it's not very warm in the bottom right hand corner so the forecast is still in the teens from hobart out to adelaide that warmer in sydney it's considerably warmer in perth up to 34 little drop off a little bit i suspect and the cold is still making.

it is important to explain that the turkish government see the pkk, the kurdistan workers party, as ast of terrorist organisations but it is a small element in what is a large region. yes. the pkk, the kurdish militant group in turkey have been fighting against turkish state for over three decades. in the syrian kurdish militants in that area where turkey has now moved its ground forces, they are closely linked to kurdish militant groups in turkey. and it has been almost intercepted. so turkey sees their existence as a threat to its national security. and is now the third incursion turkey has launched against these militants but they insist it is not against kurds but against kurdish militants. given that the pkk had previously launched attacks within turkey, what is the feeling within turkey itself about what is happening right now on the ground in this area? public opinion is divided. 0ne ground in this area? public opinion is divided. one part says turkey has been traditionally fighting against the pkk for decades and it is an extension, they think it is an extension, they think it

so when it comes to fight against the out the old kurdistan workers party the p.k. k. all segments of the turkish society meet on the same ground because it turkey and as a state turkey has fought against the p.k. k. for almost 4 decades more than 3 decades and it cost around $40000.00 lives both from the turkish military side and the kurdish citizens who have joined the p.k. k. so far so this is a long story for cherokee economically turkey has been very hurt by the fight against the p.k. k. during those last decades and that's why in a seen as legitimate by the turkish public of course the the motive of the military oprah while the motive of the military operation is officiated by almost everyone including the opposition the way how the military operation is going to be conducted was going to be conducted was questioned by the opposition or the supporters of the government because. there were some parties even inside military who were against the military operations so deep like 30 kilometers or more inside north is than syria so immortal wise yes it is it is accepte

looks to be a step closer to being resolved a land swap deals been agreed by his backers down to kurdistan from the 4 ghana valley where hoda abdel-hamid has the story. i think it's cotton picking season here on the edge of the figure in a valley the crop is good this year but it's not what it used to be and it's not because water is scarce here in kyrgyzstan but because in some parts it's become out of reach because of a disputed border. the father murdered opinion they say every members how he used to spend time at the foot of these mountains with them with the move with them we used to swim in the lake there we practically grew up there we played all day and celebrated all the holidays the whole village would get together to celebrate that's how it was now they have to put in a border. now demand and the reason why the villages of kalki down relied on i know this big east that the plot of land around the character then reservoir was exchanged for another parcel of land for do away of exactly the same size the characters government says it's irrigated flat land which a country lacks this

>> guest: some will try to enter into iraqi kurdistan that could become reachable into iraqi kurdistan that remains to be seen whether the iraqi kurds are able or willing to take this number of additional refugees. >> host: brian, independent. >> caller: you are the opposite of the guest was on before. she had a lot of misinformation. the only thing she had that wasn't true is the president called up trump and said i'm coming in. he responded sure i've opened the door for you and get out of your way which is very dishonorable because as you said before, they are our only sincere allies there. we should have carved out for them and defended them and build a base therbuilta base there bei arabia and israel and turkey are allies that they are very insincere and the only reason trump made the deal is because turkey, saudi arabia and israel they have to trump towers in israel and saudi arabia. >> caller: [inaudible] what is the difference between protection -- >> host: i think that you are talking about the impeachment inquiry but let's stick toth the topic, what are you watching for next?

well kurdistan is the other iraq having its own government its own region and if people criticize or go to the streets will be done here directed at the kurdistan regional government but people here enjoy the basic services they elektra see is almost continuous whether it's private or public sector. unemployment is much lower than the rest of iraq the population is not as huge and the new government in kurdistan newly formed is now promising to get on with reforms and diversifying economy so overall conditions in kurdistan is better and other parts of iraq were like the number elsewhere they've just come out of the isis war there are plenty of developments and investment in humanitarian as well as development aid so people are not as angry as in the south the people in the south have waited and waited and sacrificed a lot them and the things that are not improving but remember the over government when they came to power all parliaments when they delivered talks they all promised the same thing to the extent that now the public have lost faith in this political elite so what currently

this turkey's sees as a syria branch of the output kurdistan workers party should lay down arms that will be the only way that everything that these things will stop and add on as it is eager to set up the safe zone which is say as a us president donald trump promised for 20 miles but but on the ground it hasn't been it hasn't been this way but i don said one thing yesterday he said that whoever is coming to the turkish capital to perswade on corrupt to stop this military operation should ever shouldn't even bother so it doesn't seem like our don is going to change his position as turkey sees the p k k out both kurdistan workers' party as an existential threat p k k is listed as a terrorist organization not only by turkey but the us and the e.u. as well so that's why there should be something else of course there are negotiations ongoing for a while since the beginning of these operations and everyone says that mr donald trump gave a green light to the soap aeration but it has been denied by other u.s. office shows but it seems i don't want to combat the diplomats the traffic leader

so when it comes to fight against the out the old kurdistan workers party the p.k. k. all segments of the turkish society meet on the same ground because it turkey as a state turkey has fought against the p.k. k. for almost 4 decades more than 3 decades and it cost iran $40000.00 lives both from the turkish military side and the a kurdish citizens who have joined the p.k. k. so far so this is a long story for cherokee economically turkey has been very hurt by the fight against the p.k. k. during those last decades and that's why it is seen as legitimate by the turkish public of course the the motive of the military oprah while the motive often minutes for operation is officiated.

occurring right now in iraq as a result of this incursion the kurdistan regional government is saying we do not have the funds we need to combat it and their numbers they've done some number crunching the. if the fighting goes on for another couple of 30 days. if there is a. violent in syria they are worried that there will be as many as 200000 people coming over their border. you mentioned the humanitarian crisis or a coming humanitarian crisis in iraq and i would venture to say that the comments we're getting from people online they're worried that this humanitarian crisis will extend the entire region when it comes to kurds so we got a comment on you tube from mamadou who says is this safe zone a temporary or permanent safe zone for these people living there and it's a good question keeping in mind this headline which we all saw not too long ago which really raises the question on how safe conditions will be for people in the region this headline from reuters for syrian kurds leaders killing deep in a sense of us betrayal this was a politician her name has been hash tag you can see

it took is fighting for after is fighting against is actually throwing bombs across the border to kurdistan out to towns that are hope you'll be aided by the kurdish population so it's not fighting the kurds if we agree that turkey is fighting terrorists then we should we would understand that to kurds inside turkey are also not a dance there might be some criticism but if they're not against the elimination of y.p.u. from its borders. i think that's the distinction among to make between the kurds as an ethnic group and then between 2 i.p.g. or terrorists now we have the syrian government forces in position and fighting alongside kodesh forces inside syria and of course there is this concern of a direct clash between turkish troops and also syrian government troops what's the prospect for that or how do we even avoid that possibility. well 1st of all i think would be a mistake for this year even if you come into direct confrontation with turkey secondly i think the russian effect is more significant than the presence of some forces loyal to the assad regime it is going to he's conducting an

the kurds want to establish a federalized kurdistan. the united states wants to defeat isis, and we've done that. and we need to monitor that situation, but we do not need thousands of troops on the ground. we need an over the horizon force to be able to strategically and surgically execute the prosecution of the war against isis. eric: so what would you suggest? you say isis has been defeated, i would say that's not the case, that many have been released, you know, from prison, potentially heading back to europe. >> right. eric: maybe even here. i mean, look, russia and assad, arguably, have won. are you comfortable with that? >> you know, no one really batted an eyelash when obama turned over the chemical weapon red line to russia to handle and, of course, russia never handled it. so i think what the president is doing by having -- we still have forces with the kurds -- having the over the horizon force, using the diplomatic leverage of power with vice president going to turkey and using information warfare as well as the military and

it looks like affairs of the kurdistan regional government here in erbil are already being realized as al-jazeera understands at least a couple of 100 cars have been heading seen heading towards the part of iraq border administered by the kurdistan regional government a k r g a syrian kurds escape the assault by turkish forces on positions that they hold the s.t.'s soon to syrian defense force holds in northeastern syria already there are some 90000 syrian kurds here in 9 refugee camps administered by the k r g they are already full and over the other side of the border we have whole camp which already aid agencies were saying was a disaster is very very tense atmosphere with the risk of an isolated surgeon see from within that camp and there are detention centers administered by the syrian kurds those guards minding those centers guarding those and just have to go and fight for kurdish forces there is a fear of a breakout from the detention centers on from the refugee camp and a fear that those people would had towards the border here earlier we spoke to the taliban brahim he says tur

the ministration here there are some 900000 syrians already living in camps at ministered in the kurdistan kurdish government parts of iraq about 9 camps there already full it's going to be very difficult for them to absorb further influx of refugees and also there is the concern of the type of people trying to cross the border we know that there are camps detention centers administered by the syrian kurds holding eisel fighters and there's a camp called i'll hold it that has about 70000 mainly women and children most of them wives and widows of i saw fighters and half of them thought to be still sympathetic to eisele long been. about the stability of that company even before. this latest. turkey started targeting sites in northeastern syria there's only about $400.00 kurdish guards around that camp if they are called up to defend syrian kurdish positions the fear has been that there could be some sort of break up from those camps and they could have this way yes so what are the biggest concerns bernard you raise an important point and that's the point about i saw members as well as their

instead, brought to the krg, the northern part of kurdistan run by the iraqi kurds. historic day for u.s. leadership in the region. >> we wish them a very safe journey. thank you u. i want to go to retired air force colonel, cedrick layton. as we witness the sudden withdrawal, are russia and iran sharing right now? >> yes, most definitely. they are look at this and saying we can't believe we've actually gained territory in syria. and we can't believe that we're going to have increased influence in the middle east because of one decision that president trump has made. >> is it unusual for us to be hearing and seeing troop mooumts in real time to the point of we're being told then when they're refuelling. do you have any concern these troops will make it out of syria safely? >> i do have a lot of concerns in that regard because you know when you're working these kinds of deployments or redeployments as this would be, you always are r worried about operational security and the fact that we know things like when they're going to be refuelling, what points they're going t

syria my own country in 2013 after the bombing and the shelling and he said so i moved to go archy kurdistan when i was working there but then with the fall of the city of mosul and the isis and the tragedies that happened to defeat peace. including the the years eighty's and months of budget the violence that up witnessed there have pushed me to 2 to 2 fields so i moved back to to see him buddhist who took you from there with the help of a smuggler up. across in a dainty on a boat the 1st time i was captured and went on a boat to greece and they're now getting paid passport. in athens to march say and then to cali spent about 2 weeks in cali you know and the jungle trying to chase these cars and lorries in the back of 3 traitors and containers and traders trying to cross and eventually a man used to cross near the danish german brutus and they made it to the u.k. where were you when traveling alone and how did how did you find a driver or a truck that you could basically bitter right and how did that how did that work. so for me because i was not familiar with the european geography so what

as a terrorist organization leaked to the outlawed kurdistan workers' party the p.k. k. which is fought against the turkish government for decades. early on sees this military operation as a chance to weaken an old enemy but the international community is worried about the prospect of more suffering for the people of syria as well as the security implications of this move. turkey has so far off wouldn't go clear planning 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.d.f. controlled territory to safety in a country that has already suffered years of war child strife and al jazeera on the turkish syrian border well senator is our correspondent live for us that i should call a near the turkey as techies border with syria and of course the initial bombardment has been both the at and from the land in terms of where you are right now saina wha

if that goal switches to building a kurdistan and pushing back turkey? that's a different war.he senate should vote on a different war. i don't know with your authorization for fighting islamic terror would come in on fighting turkey for kurdistan. i couldn't possibly think that. >> harris: jessica? >> jessica: that's not at all what was happening here. there was no reason besides the fact that erdogan called it president trump and said, "i would like this done." there were 50 to to a couple hundred troops in the region. it was bipartisan almost unanimous disapproval of what president trump has done here. >> chris: that's how you know he's wrong. >> jessica: know, chris. we know he's wrong because of all the videos of dead kurds we are seeing. i just want to say -- >> chris: i'm more worried about people from ohio than kurdistan. >> jessica: you can actually be worried about both. >> chris: nodded as an american. >> jessica: hold on. the president says, "who cares about the kurds? where were the enormity?" and we sent 1800 soldiers to saudi arabia, who i believe were not fighti

occurring right now in iraq as a result of this incursion the kurdistan regional government is saying we do not have the funds we need to combat it and their numbers they've done some number crunching they. say that if the actual fighting goes on for another probably $30000.00 people if there is a. violence in syria they are worried that there will be as many as $200000.00 people coming over the border you mentioned the humanitarian crisis or a coming humanitarian crisis in iraq and i would venture to say that the comments we're getting from people online they're worried that this humanitarian crisis will extend the entire region when it comes to kurds so we got a comment on you tube from mamadou who says is this safe zone a temporary or permanent safe zone for these people living there and it's a good question keeping in mind this headline which we all saw not too long ago which really raises the question on how safe conditions will be for people in the region this headline from reuters for syrian kurds leaders killing deep in a sense of us betrayal this was a politician her name has

do you think that the syrian accepted in be kurdistan? i don't think so. [indiscernible] -- question i want to ask let us see -- whatever you discuss -- what is the alternative here? the fsa, who came to the region killing the civilians after arresting them? [indiscernible] she is a political -- they arrest her and they killed her when she arrived. this is the alternative.
