exported through through syria to syria through syria and the other dimension as the syrian refugee crisis which also has a major impact on the lebanese economy what do you tell the foreign office here about the britons continued desire to see the overthrow of bashar al assad in fact i understand that for isis suspects arrested in lebanon in the past week so there was a spillover as well of his name is groups would you tell the foreign office here well what we tell everyone is that. there should be 1st a political process this is a conflict that cannot be resolved by military means and words like overthrow or operation of data that i think everyone needs to look for the political process we have luckily you and process we have a new united nations security council resolution and i think everyone should respect that allow the syrians. themselves to find their way through towards a peaceful resolution of the scribes which ariens of course because if you watch british media mainstream media able to tell you that what the russians are doing in these glib is appalling and i saw this killing his

troops in the east and they spot of syria and the pretext of protecting the only for. it's off in order not to be flown in again at the hands of isis or be actually taken by the syrian at the sea in the regime right now i think the americans are still very much into this scheme. position will be very much affected also in this confrontation with deceiving the regime and by the by extent with russia on how how much support they are going to get from the americans it's really important for the turks that the americans support them in any prospect of future confrontation with their with the syrian regime and the russians without their support i think the turks will be thinking back and with the incident which when they brought down that russian jet jet into 2015 so i think that americans are still very much there and the turks would want actually to see their american supporting them somehow know that to stop this attack by the sea in the gym and it's a shame because i agree with both of you are the speakers actually that the immediate objective of the syrian regime right

department of defense in amman jordan mayes know what is the is an advisor with world vision's syria crisis response and in chicago illinois doctors say here's a little he's the president of med global and has volunteered for multiple medical missions to syria welcome everyone hashem i want to begin with you al jazeera english is currently reporting that there is a counter offensive coming from the syrian government forces and sara can you update us on what's happening there. well basically josh what is happening as we speak is that the syrian army backed by russia. are trying both to undermine the gains made by the burbles particular instead of pounding in their defense lines they don't want the rebels to set up their defense lines in the city and they don't want them to hold ground and get entrenched in their city this is quite a strategic moment. a crucial moment for all the parties but for the opposition by taken over. which says it's on the intersection of both highways and $4.00 and $5.00 they will cut off supplies for the military for the syrian army the syrian army won't be a

that syria and turkey are prepared to go to war over syria or over it lead. i think the public sentiment and i mean even if we were to put it on in the government aside there is a huge public sentiment against bashar assad and what russia is doing and i think that sentiment combined with the atrocities happening in combine with the wave of a new big wave of refugees i think there's a willingness to even push for that to stop that particular wave of refugees coming into syria so this this by this nationalistic or this military istic tone in the against aside from coming from the government there is also a public sentiment that supports that and that's also interesting for the turkish public when it comes to syrian conflict i think it has turned into an existential. place for turkish intervention into syria or turkey's operations syria because i mean what will come after assad. you know claims victory an adlib and it take takes control of it will he be stopping there all or the next target will be now then the northern syrian areas under the control of the mode

about syria and what is happening in syria. we have a history in the congress were you have a senator from wisconsin who every day in the morning went to the floor and spoke about genocide for 11 years. 250 speeches about the genocide. thatne in congress can do and has the responsibility to push president trump to do something with syria. and of course the media, we are a country of people. what is happening is a reflection of the apathy of the people in the united states, whether faith leaders, congregations, the media, organizations and so forth. we have to reflect on that and change that. >> i will be quick because we are short on time. we have a long list of recommendations, i agree with all of them. trumpited states under more so under obama has drawn a redline in the sand in terms of the use of chemical weapons. if you think about that, we have made a statement if any chemical weapons used, even if it kills conducton, we will military strikes or some form of action. then you compare it to the scale in idlib that makes our

in syria u.s. seven, eight, can displacement of the families and the population going north or going to idlib, now there's no more idlib. these people do not have any other place to go. the 3 million people in idlib are trapped. they cannot go to any of the place, so some of think they can escape to lebanon or iraq, they cannot flee. it is landlocked. the fate these 3 million people are living -- over and over. she told me she wants to be a doctor. actually most of the children that i've seen in the camp they wanted to be doctors and teachers and architect. our government here can't help them be a source revealing. not only in syria but for the whole middle east. and being a a source of stabily and chaos and extremism. if we just focus on syria, pay attention to it, because syria is important. not because the iphone was invented by a syrian american but because because of the geography of syria. that's the revenge of geography. because of location of syria, the countries that are around three, the

again syria mr sarkozy can be in the so called friends of syria you know summit in which all the western countries took bought you know those of countries so if he didn't attack than or rather he's tried and they failed he knows he's going to fail now because egypt is just a small part all the syrian territory of the government controls 90 percent of syria he is in the works but with a situation right now his real dilemma is this 2 things number one as the syrian army moves to regain control of all of the dissolve into including the illegal occupation of the the americans there you're going to have these terrorist cells they only have one place to go north to turkey so he cultivated them protected them armed them money. but now when the game is over we're they go they're not going to surrender to assad and his forces they're going to have one escape route where they came from. there is also i'm sorry and the civilians and the don't forget about you know the libyan people already very unfortunate after their help run the western countries and establish democracy is that they need in this

however and i'm come out santamaria it is the biggest single day loss of turkish soldiers in syria's civil war $33.00 of them killed on thursday by government airstrikes in it labe which of course we know is the last rebel held province in the country and turkey's retaliation it has been swift its military says it's attacked more than 200 syrian army positions and some turkish politicians are even calling for a ground offensive but they've been some diplomatic moves to president reject typer one called russia's vladimir putin to discuss the deal they had signed to coordinate in italy bound to prevent the fighting from miscue lazing while nato which turkey is a member has pledged further support. condemn the continued indiscriminate strikes by the syrian regime under the shah in provence today's meeting is a clear sign though solidarity with turkey turkey is a valued nato ally and turkey is the nato ally most affected by the terrible conflict in syria which has suffered the most terrorist attacks and we chose the millions of refugees and that point that un stoltenberg makes about refu

this is the islamic state group's legacy in syria. their wives, children, locked up in detention camps, still poisoned with their ideology. their plight is a black mark on the conscience of the world. a world which fears allowing them home. in this desert of good and evil, there are the guilty and the innocent. few countries have bothered to sift in separate what isis left behind. the islamic state group was not destroyed, it was broken into pieces. there is a big chunk of it right here and northeastern syria. is was international army ofjihadists grown from the four corners of the globe who brought their families in tow. many of them have survived but some of them have escaped and others have already made it home. this caliphate is now scattered across the world. and that may be as much of a threat is what came before it. the injustice, it chokes in your throat like sand and she is being punished by the sins of her father. bringing the family here in 2015. when you are living in indonesia did you know it was going to be like when you

and targets in syria but also it has to be mentioned that iranian military advisers are inside syria at the quest of the syrian government which means that they are legally here and that israeli concerns do not legitimize undermining international law the end of the day civilians are being killed and there is an israeli clear israeli disregard of international law it regards to attacking syria every time and then hundreds of attacks that happened of course since the start of the crisis in 2011 and syria damascus government repeatedly accused israel of directly supporting terrorists and that all of these strikes are actually aimed at assisting the terrorists on the ground remember how every time the syrian army was advancing. in a very sensitive area an open answer when there were terrorists before the army cleared that area of terrorists we always saw how israel attacked syrian posts whenever there is a fight would be terrorists so it's very clear what the syrian government's stance is and now we're hearing the sounds of the russian minister of defense which are all against israeli p

presence on the ground in syria. this is usually dangerous this is usually dangerous because we know how the united states. act if anything happens so much as an abrasion or scratch appears on one of their soldiers even if they are occupying operating illegally against international law in a place in the country like syria so this is extremely dangerous from that point of view if something happens so and syria is very aware of this they're playing the long game damascus moscow are certainly playing the long game in this respect or tolerating the u.s. presence in syria they have done from the beginning but the priority for damascus is it and after that it will be africa and when those 2 areas eventually they will be liberated they will be cleared but it might not be immediately but eventually they will because this is not the sustainable position for turkey as soon as that happens then the united states is completely out of sorts there's no way they'll be able to maintain their current position because they don't have
