so what was agreed previously was that in sochi which was. about a year and a half after the estonia process started. what was agreed was to open for example the route between damascus and aleppo for 3 reasons between dymov between people and the tukey commonly known as the in 5 and in 4 routes international routes for trade and that was supposed to happen by the end of 2018 sochi the such agreement was in september 2018 so by the end of that year or 3 months later this would have taken place now a year and a little bit more than that afterwards this is yet to be achieved and that us remember that this situation in syria because of the economic sanctions isn't really healthy and the syrian citizens are really suffering from basic needs you know the need fuel to fight the cold the need. the electricity and to keep this route out of operation is going to you know worsen the situation so the syrian army basically took on their own hands to open the route rather than wait for turkey endlessly to do it there is also depriving the hardliners the. g

tension aside there's been a stumble and they don't want to commit themselves to sochi agreement. the meeting between the russian delegation is that occasion and more school and they failed actually been the test in the old us to commit themselves to these that agreement and it seems they honestly think. hoping that the americans will help them decide to also will they believe that they will think that their size and this kind of. i don't think that action actually will destroy old gains in syria they have. about 80 percent of the theater and that is where actually liberated as i was which was under the control of bet it because of that action so it seems it seems it is a. warning from most school to the government that if you continue this bombardment we will put our weight behind the syrian ally so that of the bombardment of these and i think an organization who was stomping all you might. actually wear as that is nice. from that. mosco to. his government. or else it seems that elections meditated and i believe if not listen i think there will be a lot of casualties in size and

abiding the sochi aniston equipment's. and particularly with regard to turkish observation points in deescalation zone and and also i mean it let alone this relationship with about the observation point posts but i mean how far is assad turkey a story in turkey or the international community will allow assad to go ahead with this humanitarian catastrophe i think it turkey has made very clear with regards to its military steps that it is willing to take. in it live and it has this it has announced that is given assad time until the end of february if the observation points hosts are not cleared by then i think and if an agreement has been reached with russia then i think the military actions and hard steps will be inevitable against assad so 'd you know whether the russia will will be able to control or what is willing to make a compromise with regards to protecting this or to deal. articles will be determining whether or not turkey will push forward for that military action but he has made it very clear not just in rhetori

your little story with the kurds for a 2nd here because that deal that russia and turkey signed in sochi pretty much ended any hope of kurdish political autonomy and this was a win win for president erdogan he got rid of u.s. backed forces and they got kurdish fighters to give up ground on the border didn't . they sure did and you know it's important to keep in mind when we talk about kurds in syria the white p.g. and its political affiliates p.y.t. they don't represent all syrian kurds right so from uncle as perspective these are terrorist organizations and in fact it was venice secretary of defense ashton carter a few years ago in the u.s. senate who admitted that while testifying in the senate so from his perspective this this group the white peachy needed to be pushed away from the border because it's a terrorist group but as i was saying before what comes next is not that the kurds writ large as an ethnic group will be banished from northern syria this is where they live so the question is how will they decide how to govern themselves in the context of what both russia and turkey wi

about the future of the syria war so what is turkey's game plan here particularly after signing the sochi deal with russia it's quite clear that russia and turkey pretty much carved up northeast syria for themselves. well i'm not sure that's entirely accurate i don't think that either either the russian government of the turkish government or making a land grab here i think they have 2 different interests sets of interests that are not identical but they sort of coincide so to me for what's happening for russia is 2 things one it seeks to reassert itself as a great power as a middle eastern power and next been successful at doing it and by the way i mean as we know in northeast syria it's russian troops replace the u.s. troops on the ground when president trying to pull back the the u.s. troops so that's one of the all of russia the other goal of russia i think is to keep on pulling turkey away from the rest of the nato alliance and as well as european allies in the european union for turkey the goal is not to control the territory necessarily in northeast syria or along the border it's t

to turkey's border security that's why turkey has been involved in some processes like dasani and sochi agreements that that actually led to this clay sions on and about today we are seeing that president don is showing a change of turkey's policy where the new strategy in northwestern syria is the main the so far. according to the sun and sochi agreement you know turkey had 12 observation posts along with the russian an iranian observation post but not and they have been only with the military personnel over there has been on the on the observation mission but now we see it transform a ship because since the syrian government as events from south to north take is gaining more territory down below the m $4.00 and $5.00 highway and the turkey has been sending reinforcements to strengthen its military observation post and just 2 days ago one of them was attacked and there are soldiers that have been killed which is a very tough situation for turkey that's why it seems president ad dawn is happy and satisfied with the reinforcements that have been deployed inside live so far and the turkis

year ration that we are witnessing is turkey's continued failure to fulfill its obligation under the sochi memorandum and on course transfer of units of the so-called moderate opposition to northeast as well as for much more of a stumble. the russian patrolled the northeast syria near the machine after u.s. troops in the area. killing one civilian the u.s. issued a statement saying they came under attack and had to fire the incident is now under investigation. that attack came on the same day turkey's president issued a warning to the syrian government please rationalize around 11 a little the president was up by a little and has given damascus until the end of february to put out beyond turkish observation posts it. says it talks with russia paid to stop syrian troops targeting turkish forces will respond harshly she was very strong the color we are determined to remove the syrian regime to beyond the boundaries of the sochi agreement that is behind our observation post by the end of february we will do whatever is necessary without hesitation without wavering on land and by air. damascus

syrian army's actions violate the cease fire agreement brokered by andrea and moscow last year in sochi and has warned of in ankara could use military force. syria made headlines this week as well a meeting of the u.n. security council sall russia at longer heads with the u.k. and united states over the country the russian representative called claims that syrian forces had killed civilians in the province unsubstantiated moscow also accused terrorists there of using human shield tactics and targeting established humanitarian corridors. we are appalled by the significant escalation and syrian regime and russian violence in libya but the escalation in it is not due to the operations of the syrian armed forces but the constant and deliberate provocations of the terrorists the lives of millions of civilians are now even greater risks as the combined forces of the assad regime russia the iranian regime and has ask their offensive the problem of can't be resolved as long as the terrorists that have been recognized as such by the security council continue to rain there the syrian army has it

and their decisions on the future of that region were being made not in geneva or new york but in sochi and aston are now he firmly blames the united states for this geopolitical switch and we must be critical of ourselves. europeans have long closed our eyes to uncomfortable realities what does it mean for the us to withdraw from the military commitments and international contracts we've closed our eyes even if we kept them open we couldn't have assumed how quickly the pendulum of american diplomacy and politics would swing the other way. well in fact the united states is pretty much taken on a role of disruptor in chief on the current world stage at the moment we saw them pull out of the i.n.f. treaty we of course saw them pull back unilaterally from the iran nuclear deal which is caused such tensions and problems in that region as well but moving away from that we heard frank call to shine mire the german president former foreign minister himself of course talk about russia's future role. all in european defense as a defense partner with europe in talks about a rip off small with mos

this there's no way to have the escalation zones so turkey failed on that and that's the sort of the sochi agreement on the a stunner agreement. if you remember back in the fall of 28 teen there were a number of things agreed and one of the key things was that turkey would assist in the liberation of the international road to damascus to aleppo road where the m 5 highway to turkey is never done that is if you notice now that syria is making concerted moves to liberate the m 5 now turkey is moving and creating all sorts of obstacles in situations that are impeding that from happening so that does indicate that there's the reason none of these agreements are working is because actually turkey appears to be pursuing a parallel agenda and as long as it's doing that there's no way that they're going to meet those obligations and therefore the situation will become dysfunctional very quickly we saw some tensions in the commission there as well aside from seems that u.s. troops had some sort of class some sort of altercation at a checkpoint there with the locals local militias there. that was wha

opposition militants from the terrorists in these areas turkey has not held its obligations not on the sochi agreement but also on the a standard agree. on the saatchi of green a deescalation zones are not going to work if turkey doesn't. maintain its side of the bargain and in order to separate the militants supposedly from the regular moderate rebels we know in reality that there is no difference really between those 2 so that part of the agreement is neither here nor there but the because of this there's no way to have the escalation zones on the a stunner agreement certain if you remember back in the fall of 28 teen there were a number of things agreed and one of the key things was that turkey would assist in the liberation of the international road to damascus to aleppo road where the the m 5 highway to turkey has never done that and the reason none of these agreements are working is because actually turkey appears to be pursuing a parallel agenda and as long as it's doing that there's no way that they're going to meet those obligations and therefore the situation will become dysfunctio

the books are on the ropes that they've had 3 years in 28 scenes here to get the sochi agreement respects it as a common pick with no think they have failed utterly in fact jihadi groups have taken advantage of those 3 years to cement that was issued and it did it live and to use those positions and launch attacks on the syrians on civilians on the russian bay. leaving the syrian government and russia with no option but to take back control of the problem in. turkey is not all reaping what it so. we're going today. the jihad need really dependent on huge supply on turkish money something that is not the money of the gulf they are providing it through turkey but they are 100 but then the militant if you get 100 percent dependent on the turkey turned off the taps the problem could be solved tomorrow what meet the happen is indeed for 30 who turn off the money perhaps. the supply hat and force the military and withdraw from the areas where they are expected later holding with got to the end. she'll hostages. all the people who have been moaning the attacks on the video and. if they really wa

acceptable provocations and we support them in this what mr lavrov is talking about is last year's sochi agreement that turkey and russia came to this is when both sides were equally happy and satisfied and according to these agreements it's turkish responsibility too i repeated again to separate so-called like hard line to. erisa islam is based in live and so-called moderate opposition and talk to them and to force them believe mean of these area and it hasn't been done properly it hasn't been achieved never so it's in turkey it is turkish responsibility so turkey is failing 1st the russian standpoint how the turkey see the situation well turkey is very clear turkey is accusing most and damascus of escalating the situation of. agreements and this is turkish president just recently. the syrian regime as well as the russian forces and iran backed militants acting with them and the globe are continuously attacking civilians committing massacres and causing bloodshed. and we hear that despite numerous talks that turkish and russian sides have been having in the last days including between f

us done of it as such we hope that each party will fulfill its obligations under the estado and sochiagreements. and that we will be able to work within these obligations. sort of the- turkish and syrian forces traded fire a few hours after turkish military convoy entered it lit province to step up his presence that. moscow says ankara failed to notify the russian ararmy about troop movevements and the turkish forces that come on the syrian fifinance t tgeting m militants linked to al qaeda. ankara says russian and local authorities had been infnformed. syrian government forces backed by russian app power have been trying to regainin control o of. turkey which supports several rebel groroups that oncnce thats offensive to stop fearing a mass influx of refugees. i justt dadays after britain left the e. u. the two s sides said they'd e willing to walk away without reaching an agreement on free trade.e. t the uk remains in ths customs union until the end of twenty twenty and the blocks a chief brexit negotiator warned that the e. you wouldn't strike any deal to avoid a no deal scenario.

so there's a lot of propaganda going on the fact of the matter is everyone has not lived up to his sochi commitments that is the reason why things have deteriorated you have to ask yourself why the key one of those commitments was to separate al qaeda from as your reporter said those forces who are willing to look for a political solution maybe the reason they haven't lived up to those obligations is that they are incapable of separating the 2 because the 2 are hopelessly intertwined and maybe even the same entity ok damn we're going to have to leave it always good to see that was democratic executive director at the rome paul ince cheat in the united states thank you. now please man he was believed to be leading the school to prayer at a mosque in central london has been stabbed in the neck we'll get more on this now from mr ali he joins us from london. good evening what more can you tell us then about what's happened. but what we know so far is that the gentleman the marzan is that schools at this mosque in central london this is one of the 1st mosques to be established in the u.k. he

well i think it is in it is in progress just departed did this size of to sochi agreement have to reach a consensus on what to do with the rebel factions that are armed to the thieves in northwestern syria and under turkish supervision and what to do with the local population that might flow into into into turkey as refugees other than that it is quite obvious that for one the syrian government is determined to retake it live for its symbolic importance for in the ng the syrian uprising since 2111 and the 2nd that obvious fact is that this will happen under russian supervision and mediation so the russian supervision and the mediation is the key factor here that both 3rd key end the syrian government are likely to. resort to in the in the coming weeks in the long run i personally think that this decision that this is the this is the fate of the northwestern sectors of syria that will fall under the syrian rule but that there would be true true cooperation and coordination among the parties that scientists which a grim and and not true secure mischa's between turkey and syria well many t

stronghold in syria and turkey is saying that the russia—backed syrian regime is actually breaching the sochi one of the demilitarised zones in syria. so since december of last year 948,000 people have been internally displaced. so most of them are trying to get into turkey and, last night, turkish authorities have announced that they are going to open the borders with europe so that the syrian refugees can cross into european territories in order to increase the pressure on european allies, in order to give a helping hand to turkey in its struggle against the syrian regime that is backed by the russians. turkey has called on article 4, which calls on consultations with the nato allies and the meeting took place yesterday in brussels and, according to that, the nato secretary general, jens stoltenberg, has called upon russia and syria to stop the attacks against turkey. so that was a major move. roman polanski has won best director at the cesars, the annual awards for france's film industry, for his film "an officer and a spy". mr polanski was a controversial nominee, having been a fugitive f

equally happy with the agreements they came to in sochi so what happened i don't want to say anything but ironically as the guns direct accusations towards coincided with a dramatic shaved and for a washington relations with mr pompei openly saying that america is ready to stand by its nato allies sanctions lifted and american president donald trump actually openly battling ethical actions in syria. that a very good job or say should with president her while i respect him we have a very good relationship yes i agree he's a tough guy but we have a very good relationship by simply do better with the people but the fact is that he's fighting audit led he doesn't want people to be killed by the thousands and hundreds of thousands and he called me about that and other reasons but we spoke about it live and we're working together watching walking with. the 2nd see both turkey and america change their traffic and their position actually regarding how cetacean should be resolved and it's not healthy bringing peace to that region ok thanks for bringing us up to the roof notion in the studio wi

earlier last year in sochi when. we're very happy and satisfied so not clearly but i think mr ryan to say that turkey instead of accusing russia of attacking turkey back forces in syria's province of turkey better mind its own commitment to agreements between russia and turkey both sides are not satisfied at this point reflection lasting across the latest for us thank you. u.s. presidential candidate michael bloomberg will sell his media empire if he becomes president that announcement came ahead of the latest round of democratic debates being held on wednesday in las vegas bloomberg well for the 1st time face rivals who criticize the billionaire is massive spending on campaign ads it's estimated bloomberg has splashed out more than $400000000.00 on television radio and online ads that's 10 times more than current party front runner bernie sanders now for comparison donald trump spent around 325000000 on his whole 2016 campaign my colleague and i discussed voters views on bloomberg campaign with legal analyst jennife

agreements between turkey and russia which have been signed several times in that style are also in sochi in 2018 to observe this deescalation zone these agreements have to be observed and russia specifically mentions and urges again turkey to separate what they call the moderate opposition from the terrorist forces in the loop and that's what they've been complaining about for a long time already that it's these so-called terrorist forces that are attacking the syrian and russian forces and that's why they have to fight back and this cease fire never actually stood the whole that's very long so exactly it was a balancing act from the beginning there flight i mean put in has been doing between turkey the syrian forces and also iranian forces and it's a very complicated balancing act and it could definitely be the end of a very delicate relationship that he has been trying to build specifically with the turkish president or the one thing so much stuff vast and. use of is a security analyst and a retired turkish armed forces colonel he says diplomacy will suffer as a result of the deaths of

why assad is doing this despite the soon minutes here and concerns despite the fact that there is a sochi agreement to deal in place and it's still targeting turkish troops and i attended some tell you that i mean i know if i take a point ahead of. the the nature of the war that it is maybe not a classic 2 sides fighting against each other war but still as long as there are syrian and russian government air strikes turkey is going to be there is part of the whole operation as you say it is going to be drawn into it and really even even with such in place this still no end in sight to any of this. in fact you know all the coordinations are shared by the russian counterparts so it you know it's not like turkey is there and arbitrarily these attacks are being carried out and turkish locations are not to do the location of turkish troops are not known and then these casualties appen you know the coordination 'd and information sharing is taking place between 2 again russia and develop its own that is that worse then so is it isn't that what this if if if the if the russians know the coordinat

military observation post inside it live and these pows were brought here according to our stan and sochi agreements as the as part of the escalation there so the main objective of this observation post was to observe the cease fire and the escalation violations however since the syrian government forces have violated the cease fire and the escalation zone agreement turkey started to. store up border reinforce these military posts and not only to protect the soldiers but also to protect the civilians being pushed from south to north and being displaced but on the other hand we're hearing that the syrian government forces also keep reinforcing and so this reinforcement being used as a tool for a possible deterrence doesn't seem to work and for the very 1st time in the syrian civil war on qur'an damascus are about to confront each other's jomar actually is a military and defense analyst and he explains some of the build up to the confrontation. that whole thing started we in 2017 with the so-called safe zone these foresaid zone that the regime put in place and basically what happened 3 of t

there's been some very heavy snow to the polls just on the banks of the black sea this is very close to sochi and they've had to actually shut the slopes for the training sessions women's downhill while the cops are as i say there is certainly something is too much snow for this punch is no work as we go throughout the weekend the 1st part is when we'll see that snow continuing to work its way east was out of turkey pushing into know that and western areas of iran but if any mild start to the weekend across the eastern end of the mediterranean 16 celsius in beirut 13 celsius in damascus and by sunday it's a similar story but the temperature is also back up to where they should be sunny close in to doha 23 degrees and a very warm 27 across in dubai the rain showers have been a bit light of the last few days across much of madagascar we have got a few calls in the 4 calls and then throughout saturday mostly through south africa one or 2 shots further to the east but the rains are already very widespread right the way across tools the east up into tanzania and it's a very sinister sunday but tod

weeks actually and also on friday of course a president accused russia of of violating the stan and sochi agreement so with this continuous shiling and attacking in together with the forces there is of course a lot of diplomatic hustle and bustle going on right now as we speak president out of one mansion in there has been some phone calls back and forth and he is also planning to speak directly with president putin what he considers a very close friend of course they have this very bombastic cease fire announcement in january not only about if only but also about. libya but that a cease fire never held at all the shelling and the attacks continued there were a lot of accusations that the syrian forces together with russia were also bombarding civilian targets russia has always denied this up until of friday the word denials about these so these attacks on civilians they sat there only attacking terrorists as they call them and also we have to know of course that the president putin has been urging the one to also stick to his side of the stand and such agreements which means that there h
