State of mississippi these are live pictures its already killed dozens across Central America. And well tell you what South Koreans are celebrating almost a year after a massive street protests brought down the president. Has announced that starting an operation in syrias edler province the turkish president reza type on says turkish soldiers havent yet into the area much of it live is controlled by. An alliance of factions spearheaded by a former al qaida affiliate. On turkeys border with syria. This is what we know so far the Turkish Military standing reinforcement of their highly Border Crossing with hundreds of free syrian fighters also present in the area phase one of this offensive will be the Free Syrian Army leading the fight to take on the head in live face to will be the Turkish Military crossing into it live to secure the city this is part of a deal that was signed with iran and with iran and russia in a stand last month but with turkeys involvement in syria this could pose many challenges for the turkish with the first of all because the head of this is one of the most powerful rebel factions operating inside syria they have issued a statement warning that any attack against them with be met with stiff resistance warning all those who try to dislodge them from it live to pay a heavy price the second major challenge for the Turkish Military is basically the town of a free and all the border with. Turkey which where there is significant presence of the s. D. F. Which is a coalition of turkish fighters i think military planners in the Turkish Military will trying it out just like a delicate balance between the need to take on. The same time but also to prevent any attacks. As the operation starts well lets get more now on the significance of it live province the region was labeled a deescalation zone last month after an agreement between Turkey Russia and iran but fighting has continued there the deal is not recognized by a coalition of armed groups who control large parts of it well down to lyons called high. Is dominated by fighters from the former Al Qaeda Linked group. It became its key stronghold in twenty fifteen and the area is one of the few crossing still open on the turkish Syrian Border which is a security concern for ankara bordering it led to the north is an area controlled by kurdish y. P. G. Forces turkey considers the white b. G. An extension of the Kurdistan Workers Party or p k k which it says is a terrorist group. Well everybody is a professor of International Relations at university he says turkey supporting the ad lib campaign is mainly for domestic security concerns we have to look at this operation that turkey is mounting more as a domestic politics issue and also one that has to do with the United States turkey United States have now fallen quite a part of each other because of american support for the white b. G. For the syrian kurds in their struggle against the Islamic State and the turks have been trying to to stop that to block tried to convince americans not to do it but they have this by by aligning itself with iran and russia i think what the turks are trying to do is to send a message through to washington but im afraid washington is not in a mood to listen to that to that message secondly mr i dont has been threatening to go into syria for a long time has been threatening to go into iraq following the referendum in Northern Iraq so hes been in the Turkish Press has been full of stories of imminent military action by by turkey and everybody has been expecting some kind of military action so theres a way in which you can argue that the in the operation will kind of satisfy this this jingoistic urge that has emerged in turkey and add one will be able to say yes we are doing military operations and of course they will be successful in his in his book so this is it may be that the. Intervention is a side show for both domestic politics and especially us turkish relations lets cross into neighboring iraq and talk about the fight against i so that the armed groups been pushed from the northern town of who we are all the fighting continues in surrounding villages the Kurdish Peshmerga who fought alongside iraqi troops say hundreds of i saw members of surrendered ahead of the progovernment advance his child struck at.

I still set fire to oil wells to try and make accurate Coalition Air strikes against them difficult most of these men are fighters with the iran backed shia militia known as Popular Mobilization forces ohashi the xabi. The eisel sign reads we are hitting you hard you persians who reject the true faith. I still turn this building into which there were locals to impose that distorted interpretation of the law.

To see the damage ninety five percent of all infrastructure in bob you that has been destroyed by. The terrorist hold on to zero the island nations are the first victims of Climate Change.

Building resilience in the islands of the caribbean as we manage in that in the next few years seems will get worse than worst the world bank is promoting a meeting in the context of their annual meeting and i urge the International Community to fully support these caribbean states there are small islands they are sometimes completely destroyed they are classified many of them as middle Income Countries they have no access to grants or to soft loans these needs to be revisited and i think its essential for the International Community to be able to help these states allowing them to reconstruct and overcoming the enormous difficulties that they face not only because of the natural disasters but because of the i levels of depth that they already had before they need International Solidarity they have not contributed to Climate Change but they are the first victims of these dramatic impacts of Climate Change.

Catalonians foreign minister the will of the people needs to be respected for a single reason there is no alternative to this we tried for years to enter into negotiations with the state no one shirt in the positive manner repression was the only answer and despite this the people went to vote. The market peacefully and that is what the parliament of catalonia needs to acknowledge we have two projects here one is democracy the other one is repression of violence which one the people.
