the insurgents groups are benefiting by the generally unstable situation in syria and the political term on the wrong. and franky and this is a reminder that i never did very much alive and kicking, though it's not centrally organized. and of course, far away from the military capabilities, alive and kicking you side. but i think the question still learns, has the threat of bias been dismissed? too easily by the syrian democratic forces and coalition forces in the region. ah, as far as the coalition forces are concerned, yes, you can say so. you know, there is a general lack of attention on the syrian bio from european and western perspective . and what we see is very much the results of that we're talking about detention centers and prisons, i guess the inmates and the families and syria. but i think we have very little understanding what that actually means. not just like prison camps. these are

entire cities. you can say with like dozens of thousands of inmates, i asked people in the family and what is happening inside these so called detention centers is like out of the hands of control of the soon democratic forces in the and they are controlling the area around. but you talk to journalist paisley, have access to these, these extension facilities, or humanitarian 8 workers. they will tell you that i yes, operators are controlling our if you want to call it that way, administrating the detention center. so we have an i infrastructure there. and so no wonder that it's very difficult to, to control it. and if western forces coalition forces and you don't have the resources to deal with that. and then other forces in the region like turkey that are keeping course the busy. then you can see what the outcome of that is quickly on resources before we go, daniel, to the i s have the necessary support and the numbers to take this further now and

reestablish a larger presence in syria and iraq. yes, they can keep themselves a lot. daniel gallagher, many thanks. ok, let's take looking out some of the other stories making headlines around the world . and a bomb blast on a mini van in afghanistan has killed at least 7 people and wounded 9 others in the western city of hamlet tele beneficial side, the bomb was attached to the vent fuel tank was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombing security forces so the 5 tier gas of protesters in begin of fossil capital, several 100 people to fight a ban on gatherings to march through like a do good as anger grows at the government's inability to stop g hottest attacks. the violence has killed thousands and displaced. one and a half 1000000 people. united states has sent a new military aid to ukraine to bolster the countries defenses. thing delivery comes amid concerns over tens of thousands of russian troops gathered near
