And is there a chance transfer is in just across the border from iran and syria charles whats the latest. Sony were the specs say hey a. J. And theres been a lot of heavy shelling in the last hour or so on or around that town russell line which was disputed for so many days weve heard actually in the last 10 minutes or so the Turkish Military defense saying that that town russell a now is on the turkish control but we also know certainly according to pictures being released by the Syrian News Agency sana that syrian troops the syrian army are located in a town called. Hama which is very close by to there we also understand that the Syrian Military have moved into locations moved into positions in various towns. In and around various towns down west along the border those towns including places like top which is close to rocca i know and as you mentioned in the intro and money in beijing we were getting reports on the again in the last hour or so that Turkish Forces were moving close to money around about 1015 kilometers away there are reports of bridges being set up across the Euphrates River very much an indication that president or the one hes sticking to his word and that money will indeed be taken mr with a plan to as he says send arabs back their arab refugees now whether this is a reference to the fighting forces of the Free Syrian Army that been enlisted to take part in this campaign the Free Syrian Army of course backed by turkey for many years in syria that remains to be seen Big Questions also over the town of cope bonnie which is on the similar kind of close to further north on the border there are the one saying that negotiations were still going on with the russians as to want to do their the end of the day. The circs have made serious gains in recent days and that is why the s. T. If what with the announcement of the departure of those u. S. Forces has reached out to the Syrian Government and the Syrian Government and the syrian army have been seemingly very quick to respond just a little reports that u. S. Forces who were supposed to withdrawn from the area have prevented syrian troops getting into man bridge. You heard of those reports i mean if turkish troops are there our syrian troops rather are unmanned vision and turkish troops are intent on on making that one of the next targets but could set up quite a nasty confrontation couldnt it. Well of course it could yes i mean weve heard similar reports that certainly some u. S. Soldiers were still in the area and as you rightly say were putting up some sort of effort to prevent any kind of syrian involvement and we cannot confirm that what we do know is that all u. S. Forces have been announced to be with drawn and of course this is. This is what has stimulated what is forced the s. D. F. To make this deal with the syrians the fact is is that the situation is so fluid here at the moment on so many different multiple fronts and its very difficult to get clear information out the situation is obviously been hugely complicated and made worse arguably by this syrian offensive syrian push north because effectively what youre looking at now is youre looking at 2 National Armies facing off against each other and of course there are hundreds of thousands of civilians potentially in between the 2 the u. N. Says already around 160000 civilians have fled the violence there expecting that to increase getting civilian casualties increasing every day in fact there was a report certainly from the Turkish Military saying only a few minutes ago that another civilian had been killed actually in in in russell and so the situation is deeply complicated very fluid and of course very frightening for hundreds of thousands of aliens living in this region.
