So were going to have more on whats happening at first an attack and i reports on the developments in and around it lip. A sound all too familiar to many syrians as the war enters its eighth year the concern in italy province is just how large the scale of the death and devastation could be syrians here remember what happened in two thousand and sixteen when Government Forces regained control of aleppo once syrias biggest city. Im not then the mold i was tempted you bashar we will look leave we will die in syria we are all civilians why do they do this then america then the arab league then the Security Council. Is the largest remaining rebel stronghold in syria during peace negotiations it was designated a deescalation zone or safe haven for civilians. Has been anything but since the government began its offensive in october to recapture the province civilians have been killed in increasing numbers one of the latest attacks was a car bomb explosion killing at least thirty people. In the last week alone the turkish Human Rights Group i h h says more than one hundred thousand people have been forced from their homes. In this is. The story of this union cut. More when syria its music and more regional agreement on the first one. The syrian observatory for human rights says in the last two weeks the government has regained control of sixty villages in it live including singe are. There but its just becoming we have liberated singe or fully this is singe our school and these are grain silos senor has been liberated from the gangs of job out on the road. The Syrian Government is keen to make gains in Northern Syria the kurds control all but a small area of territory in the north and dream of it becoming their homeland theyre also hoping for a seat at the negotiating table during russian sponsored peace talks later this month the success of those talks is already in jeopardy more than forty rebel groups including previous attendees say they wont be going natasha going to. All this im joined by money his a Senior Research fellow at the London School of economics a very complicated picture in syria now as it has been for some time but a lot of intensifying military activity around in the north of the country is just looking that looking at that in the report will discuss that in a moment but can i ask you about the confusing and contradictory reports around east and tell whats happening there its really not clear i mean there are voting tense clashes but until now the two sides are reporting two different stories as who is winning who is breaking the seizure around where the cold Vehicles Administration building which is a very strategic location but to what this confirms that they are very intense clashes and theres environment and the civilians are old is the victim of all of this it live province in northwest syria on the border with turkey a great deal of activity around there with government as strikes around the countryside as well. What is what precisely is the regime trying to do what is their objective i think their Main Objective for now is to reach the very Strategic Air base of the who are which they lost in two thousand and fifteen to bug than just putting nasr and to get there of the house to goo across what is called the east room of the very way that is literally with that kind of cross that region there so they have to go from a torsen job which they did take today towards the who and most likely they will continue towards it which means an entire area has about five hundred villages that is under opposition control is now going to become besieged by the regime and will be taken over by the regime this is causing the use r. D. P. Movement more than one hundred thousand of people have moved from these areas towards the borders with turkey in the last few days right so that theyre taking a very specific route to retain control of a strategic base to which you mention five hundred villages along the way you already have displaced. Billions in ad lib and now that could be more of a humanitarian crisis how much resistance are there facing it with this area was agreed to be under tribal forces control the sit on their meetings and there was a race as to who actually is going to control the tribes who are going to control this so turkey was claiming that they know who are the right to i believe just take over the regime was naming their own tribal leaders so there was already competition over the area but the plan was not to take it over militarily what stimulated this is lots of leaks and talks from turkey saying they are going to be a number two who are the you know lots of news lately from sources close to turkey saying theyre going to have a base of the horse or the regime or a stop to take over who would be for anyone else and its going to be terrifying for all the people in the opposition controlled areas if the regime takes this because this is the airport where the regime was attacking the opposition controlled areas and of their pool specially with bomb so to have it back it will create lots of panic and they would be more and more people making their way towards the border in turkey that weve been speaking about the areas that are under bombardment being part of so called the escalation zones i mean even there its not clear because this was agreed in the us tonight a standard process and i think there was information that wasnt made publicly available so its very difficult to verify but i guess. Much of it is under the control of which is viewed internationally as it is a terrorist group this complicates things. How does the who shop has a presence and its not necessarily the Strongest Group its the one that is fueled the most because of the certain tools they use and they propagate fear around them but they are not the one that is the strongest or most respected that has voted for to look to just. A true right now many people are accusing them of treason because there are withdrawing from watts of the villages in certain areas that the regime is moving very quickly. And right now. Its not clear where this is going to go but most likely the machine will reach the pole through the route that its taken right now so we go to the door and beyond and the whole area that is called east of the railway line will be under siege around four hundred villages but its unlikely that we continue to the rest of it live because that would be extremely big operation it would generate massive idea people move meant i dont think turkey or russia are going to allow this thank you very much appreciate your analysis.
