Theres been more fighting between Kurdish Peshmerga and Iraqi Government forces close to a key oil pipeline up in the north of the ton of fires kabul is the iraqs borders with both syria and turkey commanders say they stopped Government Troops advancing towards the south of the time Stephanie Deca has more from bill stuff weve got these reports of these border skirmishes what else do we know. From what we understand and there was a confrontation around the area of mahmoudiya this is around forty kilometers south of that Border Crossing that you were referring to and of course this is an important area peter its theres two Border Crossings in that area also it which has been contested its two points on the border with iraq and syria if you go further north again as you mentioned significant fish the border really all not to try troll border between turkey iran and syria and also the Oil Pipelines the one from iraq and the kurdish one that was built in the last few years go through that what were seeing now and we do know that secretary of state. Is really cooling for dialogue between the two signs but its got to do with repositioning territory now that the fight against i still is pretty much over in terms of that territory its now who controls what what the kurds want and the interesting thing is this is what ten percent actually said two days ago that this was about going back to Locations Held before two thousand and fourteen before the push against isis because the kurds got a lot of territory because of how they for these areas what the iraqis seem to want is to go to back to something called the blue line this it was implemented in one nine hundred ninety one by the u. N. To protect the kurds from Saddam Hussein very different territorial demarcations so were going to have to wait and see how this plays out and of course the Border Crossing or is hugely significant to the oil pipeline so i think this will be an interesting one to watch and the Parliament Session down in baghdad what do you think theyre discussing. While one of the main things theyre discussion is elections elections were supposed to be held here november first parliamentary elections that was postponed now theyre trying to debate on whether and vote in fact whether there should be held within eight months of the reports of perhaps two years well have to wait and see theyre talking about that and also theyll be discussing on the last events of the last week huge losses for the kurds here charged. Real losses the loss of her coke really peter is the economic heartbeat that could have sustained any potential state you cant underestimate what the territorial loss means so theyre going to have to regroup theyre going to have to figure out how to stay united because of course is a lot of fractions between the parties here too and figure out how best to move forward with baghdad and again they have said theyre willing you know to engage in dialogue that hasnt happened yet but i think debating all those things and seeing what kind of path theyre going to try next stephanie thank you.

Benjamin is a walkie hes an independent asia analyst he joins us now from bangkok. Sanctions what will they actually achieve. Well its hard to say theyre looking at asset freezes potentially against some targeted burmese individuals of members of the military possibly travel or visa bans and also prevent preventing american citizens from doing business with these people but look its been a month since this campaign of ethnic cleansing has begun well over six hundred thousand bridges have been if successfully cleanse from myanmar with very little possibility of return any preventative elements of these sanctions has long pent a long since past its sell by date the only thing left now is a sort of punitive element to that remains to be seen whether or not they will be felt as such by these by these generals that are being targeted if the u. S. Or the u. N. Or indeed any other country goes for some sort of Economic Impact package that involves broader sanctions might that work. Well it didnt work before one needs to keep in mind there was a broad set of economic sanctions in place for over a decade through october of last year that was initially ineffective in eventually counterproductive visa vi the kind of Economic Opportunities that myanmar had with india with china it with other players in the region i think the targeted sanctions that are being suggested today are far more appropriate but again there are a month late there simply being proposed as opposed to being fully and acted. And if theyre not effective if they if they dont in fact have a punitive effect on these generals they need to be strengthened and widened and or something by way of military force projection should be considered as well a military force projection what you mean by that. Wel
