Was built only a couple of weeks ago and has already pooled five thousand people are here but still more are arriving every day most of them are poor families from instant how much as the weather gets colder the main fear here is illness hygiene. It is a major issue so much of the prevention falls on the women here as they are the ones responsible for feeding and cleaning in dark conditions. The primary needs are attempts some things like moccasins blankets and carpets also items that are specially leaders by children and women you name it people and syrian leaders even finding a nail clipper is an issue. Survival mother cation is the priority here many of these children have been on the run from the bombings for some time some of them havent been to school in years theyre left to think again and i scape from the fed reality of their homeland people have managed to escape the regimes air strikes and the fight against arsenal they were able to find a reference here in this camp in northern. For now theyre safe but no one knows what will happen if more syrians come to the region saying im close to all of aljazeera northern italy. Where there are signs of further divisions now between the u. S. And turkey over syria with the turkish president spokesman condemning plans for u. S. Trained Border Security force the thirty thousand strong force will be under the command of the kurdish Led Syrian Democratic forces which controls the whole of north east and syria it will be deployed on syrias northern border with turkey and its eastern border with iraq also along the Euphrates River valley which roughly divides s. T. s Health Territory from areas under the control of the Syrian Government turkey views the kurdish y p g which dominates the s. D. F. As terrorists and has announced an imminent assault against offering an enclave held by kurdish fighters in northwestern syria. God willing in the coming days we will continue the operation to purge our southern border from terror for which the first step was taken with the Euphrates Shield operation and now with the frame. Is genuine in that we expect america to support turkey and its legitimate efforts we expect our friends to display an attitude up affects them and this issue of survival that is so sensitive and so critical for our country during the a free an operation i hope these powers will not give rise to error by appearing on the same side as the terror organization. Come on my team is a senior lecturer in International Relations and you know us to have sussex he joins us via skype from brighton thank you very much for speaking to us we know that kurdish positioning in Northern Syria has long been a priority for the takesh president russia. How militarily involved in syria is he prepared to be. Well i think the level of the military engagement of the Turkish Forces really is a different in the east and west and euphrates because the americans are not present on the western side where their actions and the syrians are not present and the attack on african each other one has talked about but today really requires permission by by russians especially to allow to kish forces especially operate their airplanes in their fighter jets and so on because otherwise a printer is very fortified the region is quite hilly and its not very amenable to operation of the conventional armies and so on but the on the other side they American Forces have been present for a while and this new development of training over the floor seems to have really angered circuit because it is seen in a car as a sign of american tacit support of the formation of some sort of core of who this particular entity which has consistently opposed but with the last few years and in fact this entire syrian strategy was perhaps bolstered on its kind of opposition to the kurds for which it has made a series of concessions to the russians and syrians in other parts of syria and now they feel that they are in a kind of loser situation because they have lost their leverage against asset by making compromises and the pull for instance which fell to the original forces and now this was done in order to contain the kurds but the curse seem to be actually rising into a kind of recognize entity and thats what really seems to be. Infuriating the turks yeah and this poses quite a crucial perhaps strategic question for the kurds ad because we know that the political political military map in Northern Syria has changed quite a bit as a result of the civil war in the cunt. Three as you say these y p g military gains are causing deep unease in turkey how can the kurds continue to control those portions of Northern Syria when we know the turks are prepared to intervene militarily militarily to put a stop to herself or all but i mean how and do you can you stop your friends is any direct attack by the by the turks would have met me it would mean that they are actually potentially getting engaged with American Forces two thousand of them are reportedly present and theyre american some are actually declared and in the past conditional happy to convoys oresteia forces and b. American forces with them with their flags and so on so i think that its because the level of immunity and also look makes the turks seems to us in terms of really engaging in a full scale attack in those regions but in the in the other and the and their free mary our game it really depends the degree to which that the russians and the syrians but especially russians are allowed to give the turks a free hand in order to attack a free which doesnt seem to be quite. Strategically making says a disappointing time because of the moment the Regime Forces with iranian russian help trying to capture the elite the largest remaining claim under the opposition control and this unplayed borders a free and these Opposition Forces are directly supported by turkey so its not clear to me how russia would help turkey just as you say we have so many different forces and in the area and were talking about a very small piece of territory when you think about the build up of troops but youre mentioning the have been regional realignments havent there and this is a problem for the kurds it seems as though ankara and moscow have reached some sort of understanding even if theyre not close which means that turkish troops might feel comfortable enough to enter syria without reaction from the russian. Yes but i mean russians have have consistently in my view. Diplomatically the turks because theyre very well aware of turkish. Sensitivity to the kurdish issue so they have and americans and the russians have been driving this wedge between turkey and us and the rest rest of the metro by constantly you know playing on this particular issue and they havent produced any clear distancing themselves from the kurds the russians insist on a federal decentralized future syria which by you know default would mean some sort of role for the kurds which turks cannot accept when in fact i mean syrians and iranian their iranian backers also are not going to align with this particular mine or russia but russia needs that because in some ways russia does not want to see the emergence of a fully sovereign and powerful syrian state because in that at that point it would loses its necessity for dependence on russia so far for not a number of reasons russia cannot fully distance itself from the kurds knock can it at this point in time totally innate well antagonize turkey but over the last years what we see is that russians actually have not seized their support for the kurds also partly because because have played their relation with the americans very well so if they rush and leave abandon then they could easily switch to answer to the americans and why success of both major powers seem to be trying to appease the kurds or keep them on board and that gives them quite significant political leverage in the consequence that Cameron Mccain thank you very much thank you. Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas has been addressing the p. L. O. Central Council Meeting in the occupied west bank with the u. S. Decision to recognize jerusalem as israels capital dominating the agenda the announcement by washington in december has sparked protests across the world to new groups hamas Islamic Jihad have declined an invitation to attend the meeting in ramallah as observe as they say there is a lack of agreement on how to respond to the u.
