Turkish forces say theyve captured 15 villages from Kurdish Forces that pushed 8 kilometers into Northern Syria tens of thousands of people have fled the area since when say. And u. S. Democrats pushing for impeachment against President Trump a visit subpoenas the 2 businessmen linked to his lawyer Rudy Giuliani theyre accused of violating Campaign Finance rules. Because former president jacob zuma is expected to find out shortly if a Corruption Case against him will be thrown out now former president zuma is accused of taking bribes from a french Weapons Company in exchange for 180000000 dollar government contracts this dating back to the late 1990 s. His lawyers have argued the case is politically motivated and have requested it be dismissed and later today a high court in pietermaritzburg the trial will make its decision well there at the court is a correspondent for media miller and for me. There is a bewildering a ray of accusations and allegations against former president jacob zuma what do these specific these specific charges amount to if indeed they are dismissed or otherwise. Fall in this case zuma is facing charges of racketeering and corruption as you said related to that arms deal with the French Company but also in that time with that company had requested allegedly had requested jacob zuma to protect them against any investigation into whats always been considered a controversial arms deal it allegedly took place when you were at that was the premier of this province has to do natal but these allegations of of course followed him into his presidency of the African National congress and of course his presidency of south africa its been 15 years since those charges were 1st laid they were then dropped and they were reinstated last here jacob zuma though has said he expects he wants to defend himself in court he he wants to have his day in court to clear his name but hes also at the same time asked for this case to be thrown out and if indeed the court rules today that he should stand trial there is also an expectation that that may not happen anytime soon because his defense does have the opportunity to ask for a possible moment and essentially jacob zuma facing a criminal trial may not necessarily happen any time soon it could be a period of a year or 2 if indeed that goes ahead and just to be clear i mean there are other cases against him not least the commission of inquiry into state capture which of course involves the zuma presidency. Jacob zuma hasnt been able to escape accusations of corruption in this case charges have been laid but as you say hes facing a commission of inquiry with related to his relationship with a prominent family who had lived in south africa and their influence based on their relationship with jacob zuma in terms of political deals gaining government contracts essentially to benefit the spam really now while that inquiry is ongoing and we understand that jacob zuma is expected to attend the inquiry again as a witness he did previously he then found fault with the inquiry saying he was accused rather than appearing as a witness he withdrew and then immediately city would come back again is expected to return to that inquiry around what isnt any formal charges but serious about what could eventually lead to criminal charges against jacob zuma and those connected to him all right thank you for that for me to come back to you as soon as we get that decision. Barely 5 people are being killed in ecuador after a week of violent protests a protest of fear as a new austerity measures introduced by president lenin modern or that have led to a massive rise in fuel prices in america and italy reports from the capital.

U. And u. K. Prepare to square off in brussels what will Boris Johnson do next followed the e. U. Breaks it summit on aljazeera. Fears of a new humanitarian crisis in syria as turkey launches a military offensive against Kurdish Forces turkey says its creating a safe still in full refugees to return home will it succeed and do displaced syrians want to go back this is incisive. Cohen welcome to the Program Fully battle hundreds of thousands of syrians over enjoyed 8 years of war are in the firing line of a new Turkish Military offensive troops crossed the border into northeast syria following as strikes dogging Kurdish Forces turkeys leaders say the operation is aimed at clearing what they call terrorists as well as creating a safe zone for displaced syrians to the kurds have been instrumental in the fight against size so the turkish assault began after donald trump ordered the withdrawal of u. S. Troops from the area the us president says he isnt endorsing turkeys offensive and denies abandoning kurdish allies to their fate that turkeys president is defending the military operation into syria. You cannot discuss all of the people of syria but our problem is with the people who are with the organizations like p y g p k k and eisel tear organizations were trying to invade syria we have no problem with the kurdish brothers and syria the only problem is with the terror organizations trying to digress and change it we have no problem with our brothers in the region we are only fighting against terror organizations maybe turkey is the only legitimate power in the land of syria. Well lets look at exactly where this is all happening territory to the west of man is controlled by turkish and syrian rebel forces to the east is kurdish territory mostly held by Kurdish Forces several camps house 2000000 syrians who escaped fighting in other parts of the country and captured fighters are in prisons there as well turkeys leaders say they want to create a socalled safe zone are along the border area to allow some syrians to return the zone with villages schools and homes is intended to be 480 kilometers long and 30 kilometers deep now the start of turkeys offensive triggered panic people escape the battleground with the few possessions they have aid groups and the United Nations fear a new humanitarian crisis in a harder has more from on the border between turkey and syria. International aid agencies are worried and warning really about the possibility of a humanitarian crisis as a result of turkeys military operation in northeast syria they are sounding the alarm there saying that this is going to create even more human suffering it is going to create further displacement hundreds of thousands of people displaced people already live in this corner of syria the best the f. Controlled region did not come under attack by the syrian army but the s. P. F. Engaged in a serious fight with i still across much of the north and east of syria so many towns cities have been destroyed among them rekha so so many of these people have no homes to go to and theyre already displaced and with the latest bombardment we saw thousands of people making their way further south according to the turkish government this operation will serve 2 purposes 1st it will ensure its security interests because it considers the y. P. G. The Syrian Kurdish armed group a terrorist organization they want this group this. They dont want the school to have any presence along its border at the same time they want to create a safe zone to allow millions of Syrian Refugees to return now the International Community is still not on board with that plan the e. U. Making it very clear theyre not going to provide funds because if it believes in one way or another it is going to cause a demographic changes but if you talk to the turkish government or the arab opposition in syria they will say that the y. P. Gene was responsible for demographic changes in this corner of syria because they pushed many arabs out of the area over over the past few years so it is yet another battle in this ongoing war in syria a very dangerous battle now pitting 2 communities against each other the arabs and the kurds and this operation this Turkish Operation will definitely cause even more suffering among the population. Center for the for inside story. Lets bring in our panel now in istanbul men made managing editor of the english language sub daily newspaper in turkey on skype in geneva bracieux carbone a director for the near and middle east at the International Committee of the red cross and joining us from london is chris doyle director of the council for our bear British Understanding a Nonprofit Organization that works on British Middle East policy welcome to you all thank you for being on inside story gentlemen. What are the objectives of this Turkish Military operation in northeast syria in the short medium and long term. Well i think if we begin from sort of medium and long term we can see that turkeys aim is basically theres 3 parts to it 1st of all he wants to clear the Security Threats posed by the y. P. Long its border with syria it wants to ensure that there is a political stability brought to that region specifically and in the long term we can say that turkey wants to ensure the safe return of the nearly 4000000 refugees once a political stability is achieved in these regions and a safe zone is created but in the long term i think there is one thing that took has made it clear and that is the territorial integrity or syria should be protected and a political transition must happen for a democratic transition must happen for syria to to establish its political stability in the country so how is it taking a long term goal responding to the warnings of risk of a humanitarian catastrophe with this new operation warning some various International Organizations and what are they going to do to make sure it doesnt happen with this operation well 1st of all turkey has a very good record of ensuring civilian safety and security during its 1st 2 operations in syria and i fight i think. All of range in africa as a good example of that turkey will take very small steps and baby steps literally to ensure that. Safety of civilians is maintained turkey will take it will use its technology and intelligence to make sure that it strictly and only targets targets terrorist positions rather than just a random bombing which you know some of the other actors in syria have done previously let me bring on. Fabricio. Thank you for your answer on that let me bring in for bristow boni in Geneva Bristow the focus of the 1st phase of this Turkish Operation in northeast syria has been mainly along the border between 2 Syrian Border towns what is your concern today as an Aid Organization what impact do you think this operation is going to have on the lives and livelihoods of the civilians who live in this area. For the time being its mainly speculation. What we know is that northeast syria which you choose places like iraq like then i saw the camps of. Its an area which suffer quite a lot over the last 8 years and we can say that the population in this area they are really on the you know to have really a hard time rebuilding their lives its not what the contamination it is redy heavy. Military operation which is ongoing now its obviously a concern. Because we have already you know we. Appreciate in this area that the 2nd element is there are many people in this area so its very dependent on on humanitarian aid if i go to the camp of ill where you have 68000 people. 2 thirds of those people are children 40000 children there. And they are totally dependent on my 18 you know as i. C. R. C. We provide how to 1000000 liters of water every day to what to trucking 10000 me use we have a fear on going and now concern its that this support is disrupted and that in addition were not in a position anymore to keep on working according to our principles of independence and you try to crystal in london your thought says mehmet said turkey believes this military operation will bring. Will bring about a safe zone that is essential for the stability of northeast syria what are your thoughts is this operation going to being prepared instability to Northeast Area what i think you can see from the reaction internationally is that there are not many other countries not mother and many other institutions who believe that its going to be their reality i think that there are great fears that actually what will happen as a result of this turkish invasion is actually the storing up of ethnic and sectarian tensions that would be pitting turk kurd and arab against each other in a way that actually will disrupt the stability of the region for not just years but perhaps even longer i think in the immediate term there is massive fear and youve heard about the humanitarian situation but people are fleeing they dont know where to flee to there arent clear areas that are going to be safe i dont think it is talk exactly who turkey has been bombing shelling except her and what will happen i think that it has been another example of a collective failure of the International Community wants or in which there are no actors who have. Behaved and i havent missed out standing record it is absolutely true that other parties have bomb civilians certain regime is used barrel bombs the anti Isis Coalition of pretty much leveled huge parts of iraq are in its operations but that doesnt excuse turkey from its obligations and i think going into Northern Syria i think that its got to demonstrate which it hasnt as yet it really is going to produce security for the people there and i think also on the issue of the return of refugees those refugees have to be returned voluntarily to the areas of syria that they come from not to the area that turkey wishes them to be and i think there are very very Major Concerns right that this would be a very serious violation of International Law while turkey is hoping that 2000000 of the more than 3600000 Syrian Refugees. And the whole scan be returned to this safe space in Northeast Area now we spoke to noor adam whos a syrian refugee a journalist and commentator living in france right now and he told us that returning home was not a reality for many syrians like him lets take a listen of course i want to go but for the life of a man who i mean its not safe for anyone who would like to come back even like that for the civilians over there i mean for and most of the people get out from syria i mean theyre like starting your life but the big quote was so in that area it will supplant and they cannot go out because in our country like. Opening there the whole bit open the door for daycare efficiency on syria and then a candle or from any Family History i mean i know people there and there are so i mean theyre like tragic like and no one them and even respond for the for their even have to accept and their country or. Make a new life for them so to me as if it is of course its not. Right to come back to syria and but theyre very tragic on civilians who are stuck in there also of syria and who i can more than one more than one group start to hit and russian. Government turkish then they take a ices and like that only the end the only one who was infected from all of that is are the civilians. Or are they Syrian Refugees in turkey who are willing to voluntarily return to go to this safe area that turkey is planning to establish in the northeast look there are there are nearly 4000000 refugees from syria in turkey right now so it will not be realistic to say that all of these refugees 1st will be voluntarily returning to turkey will make all these 4000000. 00 refugees returning home and and 3rd to say that none of these refugees will will go back to. The established zone saw there all demain one of the main reasons why turkey wants to establish design is to enable those who want to voluntarily return to syria to basically establish an area where they can actually go back so turkey will of course not do this by force but in order for turkey to say hey those who wants to go back to syria there is a place for you as on must be established and i want to comment on on the previous speakers some of the remarks he made 1st of all i think one thing should be clear and i think that the western media particularly has been. Doing some sort of a dissin formation about this whole operation and that is being turkey waging a war against the kurds turkey is not in a fight with the kurds turkey has launched an operation against syria for the it which is the y. P. Terrorist group there is a huge we should make a clear distinction between the kurds as a minority or as an ethnic group and the y. P. G p k k so to say that turkey is fighting the kurds on its own is a is a mistake i think to begin with and with regards to community arion. Comments made i think 1st of all it hasnt been a full 24 hour i think maybe its just been 24 hours and youre asian started it is early days now met let me allow add let me allow us going to respond to what you just said about the kurds and crystal your response to that theres been a lot of criticism of turkey from the International Community about this operation or human Rights Groups for years have been reporting about turkish maltreatment of kurds both within turkey but also elsewhere and i think that there is very little credibility in the claims that you know turkey is sympathetic to the needs and interests of the kurdish population in syria it sees kurdish groups as potentially wanting to stablish an autonomous or semi autonomous presence or even worse for them states. Perhaps in Northern Syria and this is something that turkey says as a considerable threat so yes you cannot deny that there are some threats of course nobody is not saying. I hope from certain kurdish groups to towards took you but there has to be something that is justifiable and you know. Proportionate and i dont think that an invasion of Northern Syria again is one of our and lets bring back catherine feeling to the conversation integrates i want to go back to this notion of save zone the tech you want to establish in northeast syria to allow for the return of Syrian Refugees how feasible is this and what goes into moving such a non number of people one of them just accept such an operation i mean 1st of all we need to acknowledge that countries like iraq turkey jordan lebanon i really sure during a massive burden when it comes to refugees is not just an economic a burden its a political one eats the social fabric of those society and i really believe that as a starting point we should show. Support and accept to share the burden which in our view its not always the case we are also in favor of the return of refugees to to their place of origin but it needs to be but in terry. The dignity any needs to be sustainable when it comes to a safe zone again if its recreation were not sure what it means its probably more a military concept a pretty good concept than a humanitarian one. In this area if the Public Services are provided to the population willing to go back if they would they want to go back and tell the most welcome but. From from where we are we see that to bring back 2000000. 00 people in these areas which is today a conflict area its going to be a massive challenge and. And its going to be difficult i believe and having traveled to the region and spoken to people fabricio do displaced syrians want to go back today under the Current Conditions i mean the war is still going on talking to 2 syrians they all want to go back if you look at the survey made by unit shell all of them i mean close to 90 percent of syrians wants to go back i mean who wants to be displaced person living in very difficult conditions no perspective so 90 percent of the syrians wants to go back but it wants to go back if Safety Security is provided and today in syria. Despite the great efforts of many actors you might an actress pretty good actress eat still difficult for refugees to be reassure that. Little be safe and secure and especially if we talk about an area like northeast syria which is today an unstable area and as i said you my 1st intervention if its contaminated by a weapon by unexploded ordinance by mind every day you have people injured if not killed so i would say not the syria for return of refugees i mean a dramatic change is needed its. Probably to ask an important question about the safe zone whether its a humanitarian concept turkey has said that Development Projects have been planned for the safe return of Syrian Refugees can you tell us more about these plans i mean once the military operation is done then what what is in place to welcome these refugees back to the other side well 1st of all if we look at what how. Up in a free in one thing we should make clear that the administration will be given back to the locals like it had it has happened in africa and local councils elected by the locals will be established but aside from that when it comes to infrastructure and providing Services Turkey has a very clear plan in fact president. Recently announced that plan and there will be villages set up there will be some small towns set up there will be schools hospitals even a leisure areas but for all this to happen of course a political stability and security must be established and i think part of that the big picture is clearing a terrorist group from the region before a political transition happen in north sea north east syria as well as in syria as a whole country and turkey has been part of the a stunning group to and thats also an aim to contribute to political transition turkey has been the only country with boots on the Ground Fighting against that also aims to bring stability to the country with regards to some of these speculations i think we should. Think of we should give turkey support for its going to tension rather than saying hey you cant do this and let the Terrorists Attack your citizens along your horror i mean the e. U. Countries and the us i mean the e. U. Countries mostly have been against this plan but what about all the refugees that are in turkey and want to go back to europe i mean what do we do with these we cant contain them forever and we cant keep them you know keep them within our borders because they dont even want to go back to christine 120 years later that act christo and what do you say to that techie says it cant bad at the but not these refugees a need that the International Community should do more to help especially the europeans ive been arguing that for a very long time that turkey jordan and lebanon have not got the help that they deserved and that they have been left to carry the burden and i think it was wrong for europe by. Fences and borders and Everything Else and that it is actually completely mishandled the whole refugee issue but that doesnt mean that turkey come along when you hear president one announces plans a u. N. General Assembly Says not speculation overturning want to 1000000 Syrian Refugees into this area in Northern Syria now that is not identifying this is some voluntary plan taught it is saying here are a number of jews theyre going to go back and here are a number of towns that are going to spend in a 27000000000. 00 project and theyre expecting other countries to contribute to that now it does mean of course that we have to find a solution to the refugee issue and ultimately of course you go back to the entire failure on syria from day one and turkey has been caught up in that europe has been caught up in that and there are all the actors concerned of exacerbated this problem i think the other issue and security youve got to mention the issue that this will only benefit these actions the possibility of isis stylish breaking out of these camps and posing a greater threat because they will certainly try to profit from the chaos of war that will go on right now present ardo and had some very harsh words for arab leaders particularly for saudi arabia and egypt earlier about this Turkish Operation because the arab league as you know has called for an extraordinary meeting over this Turkish Operation what do you make of that i talked about the various actors who have a responsibility in this what about the arab league. Well absolutely i understand where hes coming from and that of course you know you have had saudi arabia and other partners going into yemen and there has been a disaster there when the worst humanitarian disasters of the 21st century so there arent many countries in the region that can actually stand up and criticize turkey without being very hypocritical you can also add israel into that as well in the way that it deals with gaza but none of that should take away from the fact that there are obligations here in terms. Of International Law in terms of. Rules for civilians and thats not unfortunately going to be the case that its going to be a hit ive had recently in geneva ill give you the last word on what impact whats the scale of the potential humanitarian crisis we could see here if this Turkish Operation goes on for a while we dont know how long its going to last obviously its early days but what are the risks here for the people who work on the ground this crisis needs to and it would have added unless a crisis of the syria crisis it will and only with a collective action and we dont see this happening. On that we have a hard time to believe that the use of force will bring any peace and he says that belief in syria beyond even the use of force we have very difficult issues to address we raise that issue of the refugees which is dramatic but we have also another one we should never forget is the 100 thousands of people who are in camps today people who came from the last territory have by the Islamic State group mainly civilians mainly children who had done absolutely nothing and i think this last minute area offensive show again that status quo turning a blind eye to the situation of these people in those camps is not an option and collective action is needed no one we solve this alone thank you so much well leave it on that note thank you very much for being part of this discussion mehmet the presale club only and crystal i thank you for being on inside story and thank you for watching you can always watch this program again any time by the sitting our web site at aljazeera dot com for further discussion go to our Facebook Page at facebook dot com for stash a.

Is reporting that 2 missiles may have hit a new raney an oil tanker off the coast of saudi arabia the ships crew are reported to be safe the vessel is said to be in a stable condition theres been no Immediate Response from saudi arabia but the u. S. Navy says it is monitoring developments closely lets go live to tear on the iranian capital our correspondent there is in as ravi and zain this is information that were only at the moment getting from the iranians what else are they saying. Well martin weve had a few updates in the last few hours according to the iranian National Oil Company what they want to make clear is all personnel on board are safe the leaking has been controlled and has been stopped there is currently no fire on board and the tankers general condition they say is stable now what theyve told us so far is that 2 explosions took place on the tanker one at 5 am local time the other 20 minutes later at 5 20 am local time and that is approximately 2 g. M. T. The explosions happened while the tanker was in the red sea approximately 100 kilometers off the coast of saudi arabia technical experts who are still investigating say one of the causes may be terrorism they say those were the early reports on state media and as you said theyre also pointing to the possibility that 2 missiles may have struck this vessel but again it has to be made clear that at the moment the cause is still currently under investigation right but the early reports of the possibility of it having been hit by missiles does it mean that theyre discounting the possibility of an having been an accident. Well without hearing more from the technical experts all we can presume is that so far in the initial findings they do feel that this is some sort of external act not some sort of internal issue now to that end what we can say is that according to the tanker trackers website tanker truckers this is the 3rd time in the last 6 months that in the running and oil tanker has been incapacitated in these waters but this is the 1st time that we know of that this tanker specifically experts on board are saying that this happened because of some sort of external action now weve reached out to the Foreign Ministry for comment they are refraining from comment for now that is the standard m. O. Iranian officials generally wait until they have all the information so as to make more intelligent comments so we are expecting to hear from them but probably not until later today but what we do know is that this is something that is very likely to affect diplomacy in the near future we know the Foreign Ministers of odds are if has someone else trips we dont know exactly where but he is expected to travel for bilateral talks and regional discussions later this month this will certainly put a cloud over that trip and to morrow into iran pakistans Prime Minister in iran han is expected to visit as part of a 2 day trip to try to help mediate between iran and saudi arabia no doubt this will put a cloud over that trip all right for now the same thank you now is turkeys military offensive into syria enters its 3rd day Turkish Forces and its rebel allies are now 8 kilometers deep inside syria the military says 15 villages have been captured and its taking control of the kurdish checkpoint and set up a military base one turkish soldier has been killed the Defense Ministry claims its killed more than 270 kurdish fighters since the offensive began on wednesday.

All right well go live now to istanbul where that meeting between you. And the president of turkey as well as the foreign minister is due to take place is our correspondent there and jamal given that the europeans have been pretty critical of this operation as have the americans after a fashion sort of message are we expecting them to come from the head of nato. Not quite sure exactly because the meeting that was that is taking place now one has been scheduled prior to the operation beginning however obviously turkey has been warning its allies that it would be embarking on this incursion for several months now in fact if not even more than not however what the turks are more concerned with is trying to find some sort of supportive message from nato they believe that as part of an organization not as a joint defense agreements between its Member States that if it demonstrates that its National Security is under threat from those states should come and essentially aided however what weve seen over the past 2448 hours is certain countries. Like norway and finland saying that they would suspend any military cooperation with the turks weve heard some statements from france saying that it was critical of their military operation attachment each operation inside syria not on Upcoming European upon european meeting they would be discussing the possibility of imposing some sort of sanctions as far as the current talks are concerned they see this as a hypocritical because they believe when theyre been brought to other countries have described terrorist threats they have come in no more important. 3 words.
