you know every news correspondent on is covering growing tensions from istanbul yulia turkey's foreign minister has warned that turkey will retaliate against syrian forces if they enter a free let's take a listen to what he said exactly. to my kitchen or to most all of my kitchen you know if the syrian regime really offering to cleanse kurdish militia then there's no problem however if it comes in to protect them then nothing and nobody can deter and stop the turkish army it's very clear. operation all that remains to cleanse these areas from terrorists and. they are taking this very very seriously well yes in fact taj words by the turkish foreign minister here which indicates they are taking any potential deal between kurdish militia fighters in north in syria and the regime of bashar al assad seriously and it also indicates they might be willing to escalate the situation further but of course that remains to be seen because so far we have no official confirmation by the syrian regime in damascus yet there are state t.v. reports and there are conflicting reports from the kurdish side

get to fight another day let me get in in istanbul is that an interpretation that is perceived in the highest office in the land with the president mr. well pretty much i think because in the in the beginning where we remember that turkish armed forces declared that turkey has. has a respect for syrian territorial integrity and it's for self-defense and here we see that that the regime forces are getting into two to offer in which is pretty much in line with their territorial integrity of syria here i think the most important thing is that whether the russians or and syrian regime of course will provide the necessary security koran tears to turkey about the position of. why puji in offering i think that this is the critical part if turkey. and the regime makes a deal a similar one to to the u.s. in and members and it is tough a year frets then i think that that will not be a turn to be a crisis but if it does not achieve it in the in this period than the conflict may continue and it may escalate to one that is not beyond turkey as well between the u.s. and russia which is which is the

when you're in istanbul if a friend and man b. were to fall to the turkish lead slash turkish backed forces that would mean that there would be a whole stretch of about two hundred kilometers that would be as far as the syrian regime's concerned dangerously close to that area of partition or the consequence of the potential consequence of partition that you hinted at earlier if that's the case is that something is that something that ankara wants to get to or does it just is it happy to stay within this idea of border integrity as it stands at the moment. well i think the latter is true for turkey because. it is important to. see that that the syrian regime the syrian syria as a as a country has the territorial integrity and has the security off its borders or it is their turkish borders as well but it needs to grant power again it needs a grant negotiation and under the table to make such such agreements between the parties. so far it has not achieved but if it achieved i don't think that turkey will object to that and i don't th

our correspondent dorian jones is following developments for us from istanbul dorrian turkish and syrian government forces together with their allied militias are now facing off in how serious is this confrontation. well there has the potential to be extremely serious at the moment we are talking about only several hundred militias linked to the massacres entering and joining the syrian kurdish militia in the of the fight against this offensive the numbers are relatively small and given the fact that we're talking about a force of thirty or forty thousand turkish and it's militias that it is supporting involved in this offensive what will be concerned about is is this the beginning of a new development will further militias linked to damascus and iran join this fight along with heavy weapons that they do have including tanks and armored cars at the moment is unclear damascus hasn't made any official statements over this there has been speculation that these militias that join the syrian kurds. are linked and have previously fought with the syrian kurdish militia in the past it's part of

julia hahn who joins us from istanbul well. the situation on the ground is often very confused do we have confirmation from from the kurds and from syria of this troop movement. well there is no direct consummation yet by the syrian regime in damascus but state t.v. and that's considered the voice of the regime is reporting that pro-government forces set to enter a friend and i quote within hours so that indicates that indeed something might be happening on the ground quite soon one important distinction here as far as we hear these forces are no official syrian army forces but rather a paramilitary forces allied with the syrian regime but still that might change a lot on the ground since there is no syrian military presence in the kurdish controlled areas in north in syria since twenty twelve so if they now are headed for afrin that's changing a lot yeah so let's pick up that point i mean how much is that likely to change the outcome of the. branch. well the turkish troops will see themselves confronting not only syrian kurdis

turn could it be to do with news of a forthcoming trilateral meeting in istanbul between of love to be a putin of russia or one of turkey and house and rouhani of iran let's go straight to tack room now and talk to professor marandi from the university of tehran moment thanks so much for coming on again so why is the united states doing it is it on the side of isis day as well this whole thing that we've been seeing over the past few years in syria has more to do with iran and israel than anything else the reason why the americans from almost the very beginning alongside the saudis and others and unfortunately the sharpish government the reason why they supported the extremists the groups that ultimately became isis and al qaida and syria among other extremist groups was because they wanted to weaken or destroy the syrian state in order to make things easier for the israeli regime and what has happened is now that the syrian government with the support of the iran russia has by law and the iraqi government and iraqi forces as well as volunteers from places like afghanistan. now that th

there in istanbul. staying in syria there's mounting international concern about the latest assault on eastern buttah off the rebel held area has been under bombardment by syrian government forces and independent monitors now say that more than two hundred fifty people have been killed there since sunday. is a group of suburbs on the outskirts of damascus duma is the main town there in the enclave which is completely surrounded by forces the siege which lasted more than four years is thought to have trapped up to four hundred thousand residents the u.n. says it's deeply alarmed by the escalating. in the bombed out carcass of. these are the lucky ones terrified shaken but still walking. first responders i'll show them to safety and hear wait siren underlines the arjen say as the escape yet. the government's four year long aerial siege of the rebel held in place has intensified in recent days. with hundreds killed and injured and two national observers see it marks a new epoch of violence. we are witnessi

of course by the dorrian jones on the story for us tonight from istanbul story and as always thank you very much. it's still to come on the day a nazi era churchill but striking a sour note will tell you why the locals in a german village are divided over whether a swastika has a place in a church bell tower. well yet another attempt to stop the fighting in syria long enough to help civilians as phil first it was a un ceasefire passed last weekend that all sides are ignoring today a russian ordered five hour pause in the shelling in eastern damascus lasted no rush accuses rebels in the besieged enclave of launching attacks but the u.s. says it was russian backed syrian forces who kept showing the rebels at the end of the day no way it was delivered and those civilians were able to get out. today the skies of eastern were supposed to full silent but a five hour humanitarian pause brought little relief to besieged residents in the rebel held on klav strikes reported during the polls and observers say that syrian government won't planes resumed the bombing as soon as it ended. we pray to

they are knitting for the soldiers in the battle server old times a week these women meet in istanbul district they make new hats to be sent to the turkish syrian border a gift for the troops at war. often the scout leader we want our soldiers in are very into know that we support them as their mothers and sisters they have everything they need but this is our way to show that we are with them carte the singer says i hope our soldiers will return home safely they shouldn't have to freeze that's why we're sending them these hats and our prayers. in that he says aladdin's and. the mayor of the studio set up the project he's a member of the ruling a k party and believes every turkish citizen should stand unconditionally behind the military operation in syria. we don't have any problem with those who say no to war but if our country is being drawn into one we need to fight. those who say no to war have a hidden agenda they are actually supporting the terrorists and this is something we cannot tolerate her series. for south vietnamese. public support is strong with polls suggesting more th

for more let's bring in depth you correspondent julie hogg who is standing by with the latest from istanbul and yulia turkey's prime minister says that there will be a development shortly would you say that that's just a negotiating tactic ahead of his meeting with america or could there be cause for hope here. well sarah i don't think it's just negotiating tactics here because after all did his usual case is the most important off cicle when it comes to improving german turkish relations and that's what that's my impression they want to mend ties with their german partners and that's why the room will be speaking to chancellor angela merkel on thursday as well maybe in this meeting he will be more precise because he didn't really say what he means by saying he is expecting developments shortly again he was referring to turkey's courts he said in the end the judiciary has to decide what will happen today in his you joel ironically the same to tishri who couldn't come up with an indictment or any formal charges in the past year which led many people to believe that there indeed is not enough
