And far as well have all the days sport news including a shock defeat for Liverpool Chelsea down the English Premier League leaders out of the f. A. Cup. Hello everyone turkey and greece are trading accusations about the growing crisis on their border for thousands of refugees and migrants turkey is allowing them to leave towards both grace and bulgaria which of course both members of the European Union the greek government though denies turkish allegations of causing injuries spice stopping them from crossing the border and the greeks accuse some migrants of even using military grade tear gas lets get an indication of things with natasha going to name who is near that border area tell us more natasha about what youve been seeing. Well lets start with the war of words we have going on between turkey and greece turkey is saying that today the greek police shot and killed one man and injured 6 others turkey says that members of the parliaments Human Rights Commission witnessed these events the greek government is flatly denying that anyone was killed at the border it is saying that turkey is disseminating fake news and as you mentioned its saying that migrants are throwing Turkish Military grade tear gas at greek police i can tell you what weve seen here at the border throughout the day we heard what sounds like sound bombs we saw a black smoke fire we spoke to farmers in the area who say they heard gunshots i can tell you we saw multiple ambulances leaving the scene and then this news emerged that there had been a possible casualty and injuries according to the greek government there are about 12500 migrants amassed at their North Eastern border with turkey but here at the checkpoint in journey there are several 100 and there have been reports for the last several days of a lot of tension and frustration as hundreds of migrants push to try to make their way into Greece Greece of course has stepped up its deterrence it has massive amounts of personnel which weve seen even here on the other side. To try to deter people from getting in they say that at most since turkey opened its borders last friday 1500 people have made their way in and theyve stopped more than 26000 greece is continuing to rapidly deport people they say that for the next month they will be suspending asylum applications meanwhile the Un Refugee Agency u. N. H. C. R. Says that. Entries must not use excessive or disproportionate force against migrants that asylum applications must be processed in quote an orderly manner and Human Rights Watch has expressed concern that under International Law there could be a violation if migrants are not allowed to proceed with asylum cases once they cross over into greece. And the times are going to im in again in turkey near the border there thank you so much natasha turkeys defense minister meanwhile says 2 of its soldiers have been killed in syrias it led province in an attack by Government ForcesTurkish Forces then retaliated striking Syrian Military targets dozens of tokers soldiers have now been killed in in just the last month but turkeys president is vowing to continue the offensive. Or show you none of our martyrs none of our veterans and none of their blood none of their drops of blood will be in vain we are going to continue our struggle as we aimed and hopefully with the help of god were going to build a strong turkish republic. In time for us near that turkish Syrian Border is. Hashem a lot of us i said dozens of turkish soldiers have been killed i think its upwards of 50 at least in the past month but not deterring the turkish president at all. At all from them it has become an existential issue there from a turkish perspective the military presence in live is very important for Different Reasons they say they would like to stop the Syrian Government from driving refugees into cross into turkey they say that the syrian the russians the have not implemented the terms of the 2800 deal that was signed between russia iran and turkey and therefore they see that isabella time to implement an immediate cease fire but what is happening on the ground is quite extraordinary come out for Different Reasons now because of this crucial meeting which is going to happen tomorrow between president dillon and his russian counterpart vladimir putting the battle for has become pivotal for all the parties since yesterday the Syrian Government backed by russia has managed to make gains into the city but then later at night the rebels backed by the by turkey launched a counter of fences and joining vats come to this offensive the Turkish Military pounded government positions defense lines destroyed a mission depots and the fighting still escalating inside iraq and it seems that all the parties are trying to take over starcade before they move forward to words moscow and negotiate a settlement because the moment the meeting in moscow the going to took about demarkation line the buffer zone and and the cease fire to be implemented and each party is now vying for a bigger to tori again before the ceasefire comes into effect and how would you describe the nature of the whole operation in the moment were obviously focused on whats been happening to the turkish soldiers there but the fact is the Syrian Government has been trying to pull back from the rebels for them for months now. Indias come out it has sort of turned into a confrontation between russia between sit between syria and turkey now the president of the end of it and the minister was a 1st for the sea a car so that they have dealt the Syrian Government severe blow in the liver and they say that they have killed more than 3000 syrian soldiers over the last few weeks and destroyed heavy weapons. Fighter jets and also i mean ition deposed but at the same time the syrian army has managed to make some quite significant gains in. And also in rural and it will the rebels be able to reverse those gains these looks like impossible as we speak but however from a turkish perspective they remain determined the Operation Spring shilled will continue in its lip province until the Syrian Government pulls back behind the Demilitarized Zone cease quite an extraordinary moment for all the parties with an ever changing political and military map in the province of it lip. Thank you. There now hashem alluded to this russia accusing turkey of breaking its agreement to create that Demilitarized Zone in Northern Syria and also helping what it calls terrorist groups in the province turkey hasnt commented on that one yet but as hashem said it comes just 24 hours before turkeys president is due in moscow for talks with flooding near putin the turks and the russians closer than ever to direct confrontation in syria in just the past few days a quick word with step bason in moscow that one this meeting step would have been important anyway but just whats happened in the last few days seems to make it even more crucial. Absolutely its a very important meeting and of course so russia is now were placing itself in a very strong and hard to position the 40 year tough negotiations i had with president hu on tomorrow in moscow of course russia has been accusing turkey many times before for breaching this archie 2018 agreement which was meant to demilitarized region russia has always had that turkey has been backing the militants they call them a terrorist and now this morning they gave more details about what turkey is exactly doing observation post manned by turkey which are the result of this such agreement are now also being manned by decent militants according to the Russian Defense ministry and attacks are being assaulted from that those observation posts nearly daily not only attacks to the neighborhoods near days of observation post but also to a Russian Air Base which is very important in the area also russia says that the turkey is violating International Law because to troops the amount and the scale of the operation is much larger and larger than the west is is knows at the moment they said its a mechanical division as they call 814002 turkish soldiers around that number heavily armed are in that area and according to russia this is a violation of International Law so basically russia is positioning itself ahead of these very important goshi ations in moscow on thursday and also making a very strong point that the patience is running out of course russia was stepping back slightly in the last couple of days after turkish soldiers were killed by Syrian Forces they the russians were sort of holding back but now with these says statements in the last couple of days making sure that russia is very much present and that patience is running out and full coverage of that meeting of course tomorrow thursday with steph and the rest of the team there youve seen step barson in moscow. Were on to other news now in 3 separate attacks in northern afghanistan that killed at least 19 soldiers and police 15 soldiers were killed including province 4 policemen in a 2nd attack there and in the 3rd attack government kidnapped 10 Border Patrol offices and also southern afghanistan the United States has carried out its 1st air strike against the taliban since the signing of a preliminary peace deal last week u. S. Commanders say they were responding to taliban attacks on afghan army positions in Helmand Province washington is calling on the taliban to stick to its commitments that it made in the deal aimed at ending 19 years of war more with Hoda Abdelhamid in kabul for us on the news. First of all why are attacks by the taliban increasing after weve had the signing of this deal. Well actually they have increased considerably just a few moments ago the Afghan National council has said that ever since the reduction in violence period ended that was basically. It ended on sunday and it was the 7 days prior to that the week leading to the signature of the agreement in deal however since then there have been 76 setbacks in 24 different provinces across the country so certainly the the taliban really putting on to pressure at this particular moment it could be did theyre trying to put pressure on president and on the americans if you recall just 2 days ago president and he said that he will not release the 5000. 00 taliban that are held in afghan jails he said that he did not sign that agreement and that was a sovereign matter that should be discussed do it during those intra afghan talks could be that the taliban are using this tactic to try to put more pressure do more to people died it was basically all their fire is against servicemen the more that happens aboard the Afghan People get angry and the more a lot of questions arise around this agreement that was signed then what will the americans and the government do next what is there almost a situation here where youve got the official taliban members who came to their hands signed the deal but then youve got splinter groups or parts of the taliban which dont agree with it which can still launch attacks just questioning the unity if i can call it that of the taliban. Well as of late the taliban have been wanting to show that they have a united front that they all stand together you had the political branches that was negotiating in doha you had the head of the military side of the taliban. Can you actually wrote an op ed in the New York Times saying that he wanted peace but the reality is that they have not been united over the past few years and actually when those negotiations started in some 18 months ago well a lot of them foot soldiers of the Haqqani Network so thats the Military Branch of the taliban were very angered about that they said well you are now dealing with the enemy with the non muslims like they do a day put it and a lot of them at the time defected to other groups including so they will be spoilers to dial it back as much as they want to show that they are united and not as united as they want us to think so now its a matter of figuring out who exactly is behind those attacks at the moment does that tax mostly happen at this trick and village level that means that theyre not in contradiction with the agreement that was signed in the u. S. But do more of these attacks happen to more of servicemen died the more. Everything will be put in question and actually you heard of from the u. S. Top commander here in afghanistan saying that the taliban if they continue this past will be squandering the chance for peace now is a matter of knowing where there is the taliban to the ones that were that deal directly with the u. S. That are in control of all of these attacks or you have splinter groups that are actually carrying out this to spoil it thank you bill hamid in kabul.
