abo but what else would be expected of the turks?resumably, are they going to try to stop people who want to leave turkey? ? >> turkey and turks have generally been very welcoming of syrian migrants, refugees, but they didn't expect them to stay this long. turkey does not give work permits to syrians. the european union wants them to do that. the reason so many are leaving turkey is because they don't see a future for themselves here that is why they board those rubber dingies. it will allow them to work and stay. the problem for turkey is its economy is slowing. there is real domestic opposition to the idea of giving out hundreds of thousands of work permits to syrians when turks, themselves, are finding it harder to get work. secondly, the coastline, two and a half hours, more than two and a half thousand miles of aegean coast between turkey and the greek islands. it's praccally very -- practically difficult to keep that controlled. so, it will be hard for turkey to stop the numbers. the weather gets worse over autumn and winter bu

the turks may want to target the people we are with.here is always a danger of that, there are other groups running around. al-nusra is all over the place. they would love to kill american forces if they can find them. there are bombs planted all along the approach route to raqqa. there are 101 ways in which these soldiered as skilled as they are, there are still 101 ways in which things can go wrong. >> president obama says we're fine with budget.

again it is made the turks very unhappy. i don't know what the kurdish long term objectives are in syria. certainly the -- you know, the americans have tried to down play any link with the pkk with other groups that are actively fighting in turkey and against the turks. i think those links are there. it is a sort of tactical alliance right now with the americans whether -- over the long term -- it works to anybody's advantage, i don't know. as long as nobody wants to put troops on the ground to fight against the islamic state in syria, it is sort of viewed as a good option let alone the only option that's available at moment. i agree with you. it does pose a lot of difficult questions for the future. steve: one of the things that i was stuck by when i was spending a lot of time with in iraq is it seems particularly relevant now is whether or not anybody has an appetite to re-open the issue of borders and partition. you know, there's a -- an enormous desire for independence among kurds in iraq certainly and essentially they h

the turks will say we'll join the coalition against isil but using that as a pretext to go after the kurds. i think the russians are doing the same thing, saying we're joining the coalition against isil but we're really going after the moderate opposition, the only real threat to the regime of assad. >> mr. chairman, let me pick up on that. based on what you know, has the u.s. started directly providing weapons to the kurds, who as you know are fierce fighters and who work with the u.s., but they've been complaining they're not getting the equipment they need to fight isis and other groups. >> no, the u.s. policy is not to do that. we're waiting support from baghdad. and of course the shia majority in baghdad, under pressure from iran, is blocking the support of the morers, of the artillery that the kurds need. so the kurds are strung out right now over a front. 30% of their forces are women. about 130,000 kurdish peshmerga forces. they're holding back isis. and many of the minorities, the yazidis and others, christians, are fleeing behind kurdish lines. but, as they tell us, as thei

the turks responded. we supported the turks. pkk is a designated organization.the turks did, in fact, take steps to defend themselves. we worked with the turks in a very delicate, diplomatic process for us to maintain the relationship with the pyd and the armed wing, the ypg south of the border so long as there was no aggression across that border one way or the other. we have worked very lahard to t to manage there. there has been some reporting that there might have been some. we're not entirely sure that's accurate. we're watching it very closely because of the implications. the potential tension that we have with the turks over this real opportunity to take advantage of the capacity of opposition elements in syria that can, in fact, liberate large segments of the population and the region from daesh. so we're going to watch this very closely. it requires that we acknowledge the very delicate diplomatic relation that we have with turkey over this issue. and turkey, of course, is attempting to defend itself from the pkk at the same time manage the border and o

now in the last half hour or so, that that figure has increased to around 3 billion euros, and the turks able to broker an easing of visa restrictions as well. that could mean up to 75 million turks will gain better and quicker and much easier access to travelling to the european union as a whole. as part of that original e.u.-turkey plan that was discussed earlier in the week, there was also the request that turkey introduces greater controls of its boarders on land and on sea, and also that it works much more closely with the european union on repatriating any failed asylum seekers. we're talking about largely economic migrants as opposed to refugees. i think it's important to add early on the french had been very much against the idea of relaxing visa restrictions for turkey, but it seems under the current stresses the european union is under, this is now the only way that they can move significantly forward when it comes to reducing the number of people arriving in the european union. this has drawn a significant issue between countries in the e.u. between those who feel there is a m

turks are still pushing for a no fly zone. the russians don't seem to be any attention to what the americans have to say about it. elizabeth: okay. on that bright note, let me ask question.u the same a couple of weeks ago -- several weeks ago obama basically said putin was going to get into a quagmire and just basically -- implied that this would be another afghanistan for him and bogged down there for ten years. is there any indication of that at this point? do you think -- that's my first question. second question would be just about there seems to be consensus they've made short-term military gains especially with their new military that's on display here. that? agree with what do you think about obama's remarks? steven: is this working now? back to not working? okay. sorry. think it is too soon to start talking about a quagmire or not. the important thing to understand is russia's intervention is still at this limited.rly what is striking about it is how ableof an impact he's been to have with a force that's the size ofth

turks have generally been welcoming, but they didn't expect him to be here this long. the economy is now struggling a little bit in turkey and employment has crept up a bit. it's hard for turks themselves to find work and no desire to give work permits to syrians. it would be difficult for the turkish government to do that especially two weeks before an election on november 1. also, germany wants turkey to try to stop the flow of applying grants across the aegean sea. there are thousands was oh kilometers of coastline to patrol there. practically, that is also an enormous challenge for turkey. numbers will slow down, winter is around the corner, but a big test will be next spring. >> thank you from istanbul. >> slovenia can't accept unlimited in connection of refugees and croatia serbia and moss don i can't will have to help, it says. the asylum seekers escaping war and poverty in the middle east, africa and asia are on their way to austria and germany. they had to reroute through slovenia after croatia closed its bored on friday. >> airstrikes in syria has killed the

. >> turks and kurds have been fighting outside the turkish embassy in tokyo. scuffles started at people gathered to cast their votes ahead of next week's turk iraq parliamentary elections. at least three people were hurt. 1,000 turkish nationals live in japan. >> in indonesia, they are getting ready right now to evacuate children from areas which has become cloaked intoxic smoke. at least 10 people so far have died from ingesting what's in the haze. we have this report in south sumatra. >> millions of indonesians across large parts of the country have been forced to breathe toxic smoke for nearly five months now because of fires continually burning in large plantations. the smoke contains dangerous chemicals, such as carbon monoxide, cyanide and ammonia. in just one week, four babies died after having difficulty breathing in south sumatra. on of them, a 15-month-old had been a happy, healthy baby. she died struggling for oxygen. her parents are angry at companies and farmers who continue to burn forests and vegetation to clear their land. >> those who burn are

but at the same time the turks are bombing kurdish separatists. both sides already blame each other. dealing yet another blow to unity and ultimately to u.s. policy in the region. 10:00 a.m. local time, two suicide bombers walked through the middle of the peace rally in ankara and detonated their vests within seconds of each other, leaving 95 dead and at least 246 wounded. the tactic seemed to suggest radical extremists seeking to disrupt the peaceful process between the turks and the kurds. each side continued to blame the other. the peace process has now all that collapse. the turkish government has been waging an all-out war in the southeast of the country. this has disastrous affects for the u.s. julie. >> thank you so much. >>> i love mexico. and i love the mexican people. but their leaders are too smart for our leaders. we don't know what we're doing. and every time i say we're going to build a wall, everybody loves it. i say mexico is going to pay for it. and our stupid politicians say that's not possible. >> that was front-runner donald tr

the only thing turks seem to be able to agree on is that they've never been more divided. al jazeera, istanbul. >> the u.s. house of representatives will sit on thursday to vote on who will be the next speaker of the house. republican paul ryan is tipped to take the coveted spot. last month, john boehner abruptly announced his resignation from the position. >> wednesday night, republicans were focused on the u.s. economy as presidential candidates met for a third debate. at times, the exchanges about him ill tempered. we report from boulder, colorado. >> it was a night when frustrations boiled to the surface. >> folks, we've got to wake up. we cannot elect somebody that doesn't know how to do the job. you've got to pick somebody that has experience, the know how, the discipline. >> this is a tight battle where campaigns haven't gone as planned and some tray to move ahead by attacking others. >> when you signed up, this is a six year term and you should be showing up to work. the senate, what is it like a french work week, you get three days to show up. >> someone has convi

it's normally to discuss with the turks, but france and other countries will pay attention to make sureions are not only set, but also respected. >> reporter: but with europe under pressure to come up with a lasting solution to the refugees crisis, the e.u. may have little choice but to concede to turkey's demands. >> willing tons contemplate these lib saying reflects a certain level of desperation on a number of member states that they want to stem the flow of arrival to the european and they want turkey to play a key role because they geographic i cannily speaking their best option. >> reporter: european union has also promise today start new talks with turk by joining the e.u. eventually. but in the short-term there is the question of where billions of dollars in aid to turkey will come from. the e.u. is still suffering from the effects of the eurozone crisis, europe may have to dig deep if it wants greater control over its borders. neave barker, al jazeera, brussels. >>> flash floods have triggered million dollar slides in the u.s. state of california leaving several motorcycl motor

>> turks have been a tremendous partner and part of this coalition. they've been flying since i want to say late august. we value their contributions and we value their continued participation and their continued contributions. >> air strikes on daj, could you -- could you say that it was first time that they hit daj targets last week or they have been targeting daj with air strikes since late august or early august? >> i'd have to -- i'd have to check the exact date. i want to say the turks began flying on august 30th, but double-check with -- you can just double-check with the desk officer there. but i'm pretty certain that the turks began flying on or about august 30th. >> gary? >> colonel, i just wanted to ask about the intensity of the air strikes in northern syria. i think you said 15 over 8 days. that's obviously a lot lower than the intensity of certain other periods. is there a reason for that throttling back at the moment? and just one other quick question. there were no russian combat forces on the ground as far as you knew in syria. is it

we supported supported the turks, pkk is a designated organization and the turks did in fact take steps to defend themselves. we worked with the turks in a very delicate process. for us to maintain the relationship with the p1 idea of the wing, south of the border so long as there is no aggression across the border one way or another. we we work very hard to try to manage that. there have been some reporting recently that there may have been some come we are not sure that is accurate. as of the implement occasions and the potential problems with the turks over this real opportunity to take advantage of the capacity of opposition elements and syria that can in fact liberate large segments of the population in the region from dsh. we watch it closely, it requires we acknowledge the very delicate diplomatic relation that we have with turkey over this issue. turkey, of course is attempting to defend itself from the pkk, at the same time manage the border and our relationship with the y pg. i think we worked well them. >> just one last point, i would like to underline the point of the import

again, it's made the turks very unhappy. i don't know what the kurdish long-term objectives are in syria. certainly the americans have tried to downplay any link with the pkk, with other groups that are actively fighting in turkey and against the turks. i think that those links are there. and it's sort of tactical alliance right now with the americans whether over the long-term it works to anybody's advantage, i don't know. as long as nobody wants to put troops on the ground to fight against the islamic state in syria, it sort of viewed as a good option let alone the only option that's available at the moment. i agree with you. it does pose a lot of difficult questions for the future. >> one of the things that i was struck by when i was spending a lot of time in iraq is it seems particularly relevant now is whether or not anybody has an appetite to reopen the issue of borders and partition and there is an enormous desire for independence among kurds in iraq certainly. essentially they have a sort of de facto autonomy. you wo
