The only for the team the league of the player nothing wrong on the right direction. And it is positive as players team owners in n. F. L. Officials prepared to meet for a second day to discuss player protests during the National Anthem. Welcome to the news i would begin in iraq where the obvious says its Mission Accomplished in an operation to take back kurdish held territory in the north its now and. Drole of the areas around those holes and nineveh province including the bows all day its a punishing response to last months vote by the kurds to secede from iraq in recent days Kurdish Forces have pulled out of several towns and oil fields pushed by an Iraqi Military advance now the towns were seized by the Kurdish Peshmerga over the past three years as part of the war against eisel the offensive began on monday when iraqi troops moved into the contested city of kirkuk Prime Minister. He has ordered his forces to take back kurdish held areas lying outside the autonomous region losing the oil fields is a big setback for the kurds without them the wealth they bring to session from iraq becomes even more difficult iraqi Prime Minister about he says that kurdish troops help kurdish hopes for an independent state and now i think of the past child strafford has more from erbil. Iraq a Government Troops and shia militia on the outskirts of kirkuk this in twenty four hours after Kurdish Peshmerga forces withdrew from the oil rich city no one predicted the ease and speed with which Iraqi Government forces could take control of the oil fields and most of the remaining towns in the disputed areas of northern iraq. Forces withdrew in some areas without even firing a shot the iraqi Prime Minister says the nord orders from erbil also are not the mark of what they went against your instruction and didnt kill the iraqi forces please take this as a lesson. Many people who had fled kirkuk the day before began to return home like were about to enter but we dont know if its safe or not so were going to go where else can i go its better to go back were going back to our house and our city. Some arab residents in this ethnically diverse region celebrated the arrival of Iraqi Government forces. Now all of kirkuk is retaken and we are happy some of the peshmerga killed in the sporadic fighting which taken to a morgue in the kurdish region second city so many of the Regional Government hasnt released figures yet on how many medical killed there related to and this is to let you know since last night we received twenty five corpses of the troops killed in battles of coke and its suburbs relatives of those killed in battles received twenty one corpses so far the bereaved relatives are gathering at the morgue to receive dead bodies of their sons you know bill many people say they are shocked and feel betrayed accusing the International Community of siding with the Iraqi Government against them. It looks like there was an international betrayal of the kurdish nation and that is due to the fact that we had a plan to move towards independence unfortunately we are facing a situation where we lost everything that we had before all this loss as a result of the fact that the kurdish nation is not united evidence of factionalism and rivalry between kurdish groups and Political Parties is growing in a Statement Released by the k r g president and head of the k d p party muscled barzani said the withdrawal of peshmerga it was because of unilateral decisions made by some officials the peshmerga general command is blaming this incredibly quick withdrawal of peshmerga fighters from these territories as being as a result of what it describes as historical treason by some senior members of the p u k party one former senior aide. The p has called for a Transitional Government and says more constructive channels of dialogue should be set up with baghdad after the iraqi army has taken so much control of territory that the k r g was hopeful would be part of a future independent kurdish state president barzani is facing one of the biggest political crises of his life Charles Stafford aljazeera north of erbil but as you hear that charles his piece this is a crisis for the Kurdish Administration lets get more on this with victoria phone a Senior Research fellow at the university of the hope she joins me now of via skype from leo in france we spoke to an iraqi diplomat earlier on and he was of the opinion that baghdad would not be marching into erbil so therefore perhaps saying that theyre not looking for any sort of confrontation is that how you read the situation at the moment absolutely. Two thousand and fourteen after the fall of most president barzani took advantage of the you can void to advance in mixed areas. Could use an arab areas and i think that now this territory has been reclaimed by the Iraqi Government but it is very unlikely that the government will go into territory this is just a rethinking of land that was taken at a time over of the need to reform it do you think that Masoud Barzani as president of the autonomous kurdish region completely miscalculated the sort of political dynamics of whats going on on the ground not only in the autonomous areas but also in baghdad and that he wouldnt be fully backed by calling for independence as were seeing the sort of fracture at the moment within kurdish politics. Well as you know the kurds always say that they have no other friends than the mountains and i think that in two thousand and fourteen when our president barzani under two going to fight against Islamic State he thought that he would be rewarded afterwards by the United States and International Powers with independence this has not happened so this is definitely a political miscalculation on his part and i think that now as the fight against the Islamic State. Reaching its end the west and International Powers no longer need us going to stand as much as they used to therefore there is not as much backing as they could have been before how do you regard the way that the Kurdish People as a whole will be viewing this both within its sort of loose borders a beyond the borders of the of the middle east because they obviously were hoping for that politicians to take a very firm decisive move forward to something that theyve been longing for for decades. Absolutely and i think that the kurdish leadership has been playing with this for decades and has been playing on peoples hopes and now tongues are becoming untied and mostly outside of going to stand since it can be difficult inside and people are starting to say that the leadership should resign and that the two leading they call in the royal families should really. Be sidelined in that the new leadership should actually initiated talks with baghdad to come out of this crisis situation but i guess that people are becoming more and more wary of promises that have been going on for years probably if you put promises to one side if you see one large kurdish faction then siding back with baghdad is that seen as a betrayal would it be seen as a betrayal of the wider masses. Not so much a depends though from which side you stand of course the president barzani side has been saying that this is a new minion he trailed but if you take it from the other side things are much more complicated i think that now the Political Leadership the alternative Political Leadership. Starting to think that a negotiation needs to take place and that the betrayal of the people can no longer be played on to actually a failed to reach. A political solution i think theres a lot more ahead for us to focus on in the future for burma victoria fulton thank you very much for your insight. Democratic forces say theyll redeploy fighters from rocka to the current front lines against lysol in the Eastern Province of duress or the u. S. Backed alliance took rucka from the of group on tuesday the city was eisel declared capital the kurdish leader s d f raised its flag of record stadium after four but battled to push the group from the city however our correspondent joins me from there the turkey syria border its all about the clearer. But also about the future between syria that derailed officials the damascus is where we should perhaps focus. So first of all im in the air for the time being the saying that its moving forward with his plans to secure the city and clear it from rest of my eyes this explains why were not allowing civilians into the city but the biggest question now is there we have it a ship and the recall direction of the city where hundreds of thousands of people have fled the fighting in iraq and wont be able to go back home anytime soon now the kurds over there are waiting for commitments from the International Community to finalize the operational recalls traction but as you know this wont be possible any time. As long as the situation remains unstable in the area just to give you an idea of the challenges ahead i see in the syrian army officer was killed today in their own in the fight against. His he was killed by. A landmine earlier in. The instability. In the region syria and iran youre meeting in damascus today its very important for the both parties iranian. President. Has been involved militarily in syria to prague to tell the ground in favor of particularly since two thousand and thirteen when his troops suffered major setbacks across the country today the chief of the joint staff said that. Israel has no. Syria i think he was referring to the previous attacks by the israelis against targets in syria and israel says it. Has never officially said that hes been attacking targets in israel but. He has been concerned about what he says. And that the iranians to build bases inside syria so i think this could explain. The strained relations now in the region of the mountain turns in israel on one hand concerned that iran is expanding its influence in the region while iran on the other hand is think about its just to provide for the syrian army. Thanks for the update. Still ahead of the aljazeera news of chinas most powerful leader in a generation sets out his long term vision for tackling corruption Climate Change and consolidating his grip on power.

I am now Security Forces are burning all our villages and killing our people which is why escaped to bang the danish they are taking all rwanda men into forced labor camps making them work without pay and beating them up they also looting our livestock and goods if we protest they beat us and even kill us.

List ten to fifteen thousand people are stranded here in no mans land i what is called zero line between myanmar and bangladesh brought out this area. This paper that flag me on my way the last two days that been stranded and has no safety to go to most of the people are exposed to whether majority are women and children or elderly people the government has given permission to some of the aid agencies to bring Critical Care medicine and food but theyre still taking shelter in the pedophile and manmade dike just doesnt make sense theyre coming under critical review by the un agency and other International Aid agency that still kept. The border guard officer that wind up taking to shelters and said we need a coordinated approach before we take them in that.

In spite of the weather this was a day of choreographed unity after what has been a tumultuous few years for the party. But there was a stirring welcome for the president.

She reported on his past five years in office saying the party had achieved miracles he also warned serious challenges ahead. Our country is at a Strategic Point in.
