two major challenges first of all the moment the turkish army gets deeper into. what would be the reaction of the head of the sham to who the shame is a very well organized and powerful. group it's a coalition of different groups led by. a former al qaida affiliate in june the last a major offensive against different rival groups and claimed full control of it live if they decide to fight against a turkish army that could pose real challenges for the turkish military a second challenge is basically the area of five three and which is on the border with turkey still under the control of the. syrian democratic forces a coalition of different kurdish forces turkey has said in the past that it does not want to see any kurdish presence on the border with turkey because it's considers. the white busy and the. as an extension of the care that considers a terrorist organization organization so i think the turkish military planners will take into account the fact that while they are in agreement with the russians and the iranians to try to pacify. the also need to ensure

a while ago the turkish army issued a statement saying that. the army's chief of staff. officers commanders of the land forces along with turkey's intelligence chief have been in. to visit the army forces stationed there this is quite a significant move it comes against the backdrop of the. agreement with will that turkey iran and russia for the deescalation in. phase two will be quite significant that's where the turkish army is going to. move into it and secure it now we don't know whether the the head of the sharon is going to hand over its weapons surround or fight back and this is this poses quite a security challenge as for the turkish army that does not want to see itself burge down in a protracted conflict inside. by the way the last remaining stronghold for the syrian opposition groups and some of those girls particularly to have made it quite clear that they are determined to continue the fight to maintain their presence there and as a model that challenges might the turkish army now face. first challenger this is you know for quite some time for the last six y

have some recall on the ground from the turkish army still but yet the syrian government hasn't said anything so apparently they're saying ok we are going to be more subtle about this now we're not still we're they're not fully fully endorsing this officially endorsing this but they're not going to the commission as well so this is a step forward which tells you that the cooperation between the countries has taken a step forward and apparently to what he's hoping to take it all along the way to ease the syrian crisis out of moscow how's being wary of the free syrian army are they reliable allies for turkey. well. not very much but then there is this. how do you say dichotomy you know the in a sense if you don't offer them hope they will still want to resist and sabotage every single political agreement and if you want to over them hope who's going to guarantee them is going to be turkey and do they want to cooperate with the key not so much even though they are dependent on turkey and at the same time about the most raw the affiliated group the main threat in that region is basically

to start the phase one of the operation on their way to and they will get assistance from the turkish army all the border we're talking about maybe artillery operations to try to pave the ground for the free syrian army to maintain its advance to words the heart of the day which is going to be an extremely delicate military operation now what if the russians in their bid to try to provide assistance to the free syrian army to launch air strikes that kill civilians this is going to further stoke the russian and the international community sentiment among the hundreds of thousands of people in. we know little details about what is happening. peter this is definitely one of the most crucial moments since the start of the conflict in syria six years ago passion many thanks . ok let's get more now on the significance of it live province the region was labeled a deescalation zone as we've just been hearing last month after that agreement between turkey russia and iran in a stand about fighting there has continued the deal is not recognized by a coalition of armed groups who control large parts o

a big military mission in syria with turkish support us our top story the free syrian army is carrying out an operation in italy a province against former al qaeda linked fighters the turkish president type one says turkish soldiers are backing the offensive but they haven't yet entered the area they've been heading towards the border in the past few days but. we have opened up a space in our region with operation euphrates shield and now we are making efforts to take a step forward by maintaining security in a lab today there is a serious operation in adlib and it will continue because we have our brothers there who came to fleeing violence in aleppo we can't tell them whatever happens happens you can either die or survive we have to extend a hand to our brothers now this step has been taken and it is under way. and here on the turkey syria border force question we understand they've had special forces in that border area doing reconnaissance work doing intelligence gathering work so now clearly they feel the time is right for this. indeed with the military build up still continuing n

border crossing called jill because a that's where there's a buildup of reinforcements from the turkish army and also the free syrian army sending more reinforcements some of those factions operating under the umbrella of the free syrian army is inside syria we don't know now what is happening particularly in that buffer zone or no man's land but we do know that the turkish military is carrying out conducting some surveillance missions recall it's also trying to gather more information that would share it with the f.s.a. to pave the way for the major military operation which is likely to start any time soon and take all that ahead of it which is the most powerful rebel opposition groups operating in their lives what is the ultimate goal of this operation hashem as far as turkey is concerned what's the end goal what's at stake here. well talk is find a dealer last month with iran and russia to set up a deescalation zone in its live and the deal suggests that the turkish army will be monitoring that the escalation zone inside its leverage with obviously they would have to ensure there's no one

the turkish army will be operating in the city while the russians will be deployed outside of the province it is one of four deescalation zones the others are the asker's of the capital damascus or the border with jordan a lot of parts of homes. what established after iran russia and turkey decided to set aside their differences and find a permanent solution to the syrian conflict. the new operation could be part of a broader deal between russia turkey and iran but we don't know who would run one state at the hague a sham quietus victor from the promise and what will become of moderate opposition factions and the thousands of civilians living in the area. the army and democratic republic of congo says rebel fighters of ambushed a bus and attacked the villages in the country's east it's unclear how many have been killed in the fighting which took place in the beni territory in north kivu province security forces blame the attack on ugandan rebels called the ally the democratic forces or the a.d.f. well al jazeera is malcolm webb joins us live now from vienna that's in the best of the countr

phases days one is the basic one the free syrian army moves into the area and takes on a at the head of the fighters for the time being it seems that the turkish military will be conducting surveillance reconnaissance missions and sharing intelligence where the free syrian army phase two will be when the turkish military crosses into syria. permanent post inside syria for as long as the the escalations agreement continues but as you know but as you know peter the head of the sham is the most powerful faction now operating in the last the are convinced to hand over their weapons or at least pull out from there we're likely to see some heavy fighting in the coming days and it is something that the turkish military is definitely going to take into consideration fashion thank you the army in the democratic republic of congo say rebel fighters of ambushed a bus and sank villages in the country's east it's unclear how many people have been killed the fighting is continuing in the beni territory in north kivu province security forces blame the attack on ugandan rebels called the allied democratic forces or a.d.f. congolese soldiers have been trying f

it seems that the turkish army is aiming to achieve two goals here first of all they would like to block the kurdish factions particularly and they wipe e.g. from moving or expanding their territory from all the way towards number two they would like to ensure also that factions in live don't get in any fighting in the coming days and weeks with the syrian military and with the russians so to implement the deescalation zone so this is quite a significant development this is turkey's second border operation now inside syria in the lead up to this operation hashim the group. which is a former al-qaeda affiliate threatened all out war if it was attacked as in any province so how fierce of a resistance are they going to put up how difficult an operation is going to be for tech issues and their allies. it is a delicate operation in the sense that. remains the most powerful the most. groups inside syria particularly in the northern part of the country they are the ones who control the problems the made it quite clear that. any invasion of their own land they say that they were ready to fight t

well a clue is the chief of staff of the turkish army chief of staff who's been in tehran for two days he's been meeting his counterpart from the iranian military there is definitely going to be some sort of cooperation pact. that will be in terms of another threat it would seem against the iraqi kurds the iranians have been seen deploying tanks on the border in the past twenty four hours there have been a number of exercises on this side of the equation as well with the iraqis engaging with the turkish army in a long series of exercises so there will be military discussions and also political ones there will be a meeting between president rouhani and his counterpart from turkey furthermore president will meet the supremely. and he will have discussions on a whole range of issues it's a big delegation the trade minister economy minister culture minister trade deals will be discussed eyebrows will definitely be raised in the white house in washington d.c. but then the turkish government is insistent that iran should not be isolated but should engage particularly on issues such. does the

in line with the deal struck between of russia and iran last month the turkish army has begun setting up observation posts in the syrian province of idlib. that's in a move aimed at reducing the violence between insurgents and syrian government forces. but some analysts say the part of turkey's goal here is to rain in kurdish militia groups operating in that part of syria. falsely for sharing gaffney tells us more. a convoy of turkish military vehicles prepares to cross the border into syria for an operation and it live province a region largely controlled by jihadists. the troops are officially taking part in efforts to form so called t. escalatio. which or being subtle been for it mainly opposition held areas across the country. it's part of a deal agreed by turkey russia and iran julie she fighting between rebel groups backed by on crown. on the syrian government's which is supported by moscow on to ron. turkey's involvement in the campaign as an dot pushing the islamic state militant group from its border. reducing the influence of kurdish militias which refuge by on cara as terro

give us an indication about potential confrontation between the free syrian army backed by the turkish army against the kurds the problem is that in those areas kurdish military has been saying that it will never allow the girls to further expand to words. and also to work. because it might create a state of their own all the border with turkey. they want the terrorist organizations so the potential for confrontation between the free syrian army backed by turkey and the kurds is really hard right there thanks for that has been worldwide criticism of a decision by the u.s. president to decertify deal on iran's nuclear program. ran hasn't lived up to the two thousand and fifteen agreement which restricts iran's nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of sanctions iran's president has no rouhani has responded to transpose each he called it a pile of delusional allegations and the leaders of france germany and britain the warning the u.s. against undermining the accord reports from washington d.c. . he's often threatened to tear up the landmark deal with iran but in the end u.s. presiden

it seems that the turkish army is aiming to achieve two goals here first of all they would like to block the kurdish factions but particularly as the and the why pedia from moving or expanding their territory from all the way towards number two they would like to ensure also that factions in live don't get in any fighting in the coming days and weeks with the syrian military and with the russians search or implement the deescalation this is quite a significant development kurdish forces in iraq are reportedly mobilizing after accusing baghdad of sending its forces to two areas near kurdish controlled oil fields the kurdish regional security council says troops have been seen south of the city tensions have been rising between the two governments since the kurdish session referendum last month. at least two people have been shot dead during protests against kenya's electoral commission rallies have been taking place despite a government banned by the police in nairobi disperse protesters with tear gas opposition supporters took to the streets ahead of planned presidential election rerun.

so basically at the moment the turkish army took positions. and which is on the border with the province. where the kurdish faction has been stationed for quite some time now there's also a presence of heia to herself fighters in the area and the free syrian army but to clear the factions which are backed by turkey and then there was some exchange of gunfire between the rebels on one hand and the kurdish factions on the other hand this could be an indication that what it what we are likely to see in the near future is a fight between the rebels and between the kurdish factions the kurds say that it depresses any military or armed presence in the area is going to be seen by them as an invasion and therefore they are vowing to fight to the death i have to hear the sound the free syrian army have always been very critical of the kurdish faction saying that basically they have never been helpful for the syrian uprising of that they have sided with the government in different areas so we're talking about a very explosive situation now with those ar

leadership that is as far as the overall picture goes there is going to be more cooperation between the turkish army and the rainy and military that has already been agreed by the two chiefs of staff of the respective countries but as far as any joint operations are concerned it isn't seem a likely prospect and furthermore this alliance so to speak will definitely not be long term however there is corp right across the board particularly on trade with a lot of commercial deals being worked on between the two countries. at least fifty people have been killed and eighty others injured by an as strike in syria is there as or province it's not clear who carried out the strikes in the town of. this amateur video reportedly shows the nearby town of mayor dean being bombed u.s. and russian backed forces a separately trying to retake the region from i sell. now saudi arabia's king sound minus touched down in russia for the start of a five day visit this is the first time a sitting saudi monarch is ever. sept first on russian soil. will have top level talks with president putin war on syria will top the agen
