Joe bidens bid after pulling out of the president ial race. And im far as well have all the days sport news including misery for josie marine years tom then this thing added. To. The lower for what was starting with the meeting between the leaders of russia and turkey which is expected to begin in the next hour of course theyre discussing the situation in northwest syria with the 2 countries backing opposing sides of that conflict i may recently came close to a direct confrontation in the if they province in Northern Syria turkey trying to back or push back the Syrian Government forces who are supported by russia also is also accusing on for a violating a 2018 deal to create a Demilitarized Zone and helping what it calls terrorist groups in the area meanwhile inside it lay witnesses have told al jazeera that russian airstrike. Have killed at least 15 people in farms which have been sheltering displaced civilians and there are many more injured correspondents on this story at this hour well be with you shortly shes on that turkey Syrian Border but starting with step outside the kremlin in moscow hi step this is a big may i mean this would always have been an interesting meeting an important meeting but just taking on so much more significance given whats happened in the last week. Yes exactly and its its actually already significant that this meeting is happening in the 1st place because no one has been reaching out to put in for a couple of weeks already to to have a meeting initially suggested in istanbul but what it was very reluctant to meet until the moment that the turkish offensive went much further into. Put in have no other choice than to to agree to this meeting so both leaders will meet here in the kremlin in an hour or so from now the russian official position is still to say they want to stick to such a 2018 agreement meaning that they insist that turkey works on this demilitarisation. Area meaning also that these militants and terrorists they call them here in russia will be disarmed and yesterday russia lashed out again against turkey saying that they are but basically backing these terrorists and attacking russian airbase and civilians on a daily basis the question here of course is how close their leaders will get and how much they are willing to compromise no one has made it very clear that he doesnt want to back off. And put in his playing this very very complicated just game with assad from syria on one side and other one on the other side and he doesnt want to break this relationship in any way with both his very crucial partners so its going to be a very very interesting meeting and it would be also very interesting to be in that room today wouldnt it just here well talk more later on in the diary as we hear from meeting thank you step dancin in moscow and now it is you whos on the turkey syria border whats your take on it seem from the turkish perspective as pointed out president is in no mood to back down. Exactly neither of the sides seem to be backing down but this is for sure about those 2 leaders who have signed all sun and such agreements and who provided some time for themselves including the players in syria will try to come out with something whether its a factor for either side or not theyre going to come up with something this is what the turkish experts expect from todays meeting turkey has 2 things on the table today turkey is asking for for a security zone which is which is which both sides can agree on without a u. N. Decision a security zone 30 kilometers deep inside where the civilians can. Live in peace that far from the Syrian Government strikes and the and the other thing is that turkey doesnt want to move to withdraw its military forces from inside were agreed by the asana and sochi agreement and a permanent cease fire is a must which is not which russia seems not to be willing to accept 7 just stay there for a 2nd for me if you would because once we focus a lot on president one i think we should also look at whats been happening in the Turkish Parliament some heated scuffles and debate over the military involvement in Northern Syria have a look at the pictures the same shoving each other. After one opposition member accuse the president of disrespecting turkish soldiers have been killed and. President is also called quote irresponsible for sending troops into the conference conflict allegedly without adequate air cover they quite extraordinary pictures as we look at them i mean its its basically a brawl in the parliament and it makes me wonder obviously we focus so much on what the president s decisions are but there is opposition to his position from within the parliament. Exactly come on especially when it comes to. The latest springfield operation conducted inside opposition has been very vocal about its stance against the Turkish Foreign policy in syria by saying that without any of cover inside syria the turkish most turkish soldiers are trapped and you are killing the turkish soldiers and one of the legislators of the Main Opposition Party he was he actually insults of president add on with words saying he is dishonorable ignore well law and creature is and then this role actually broke rules a bros are kind of common in the Turkish Parliament not to this extent of course it was a female m. P. s members of the parliament who were involved in this and enter a geisha and was conducted for this main Opposition Parliament member because he insults of the president according to turkish low insulting president can be a matter of into regulation but it will position believes that turkey has nothing to gain from the operation and there is no National Interest mol National Benefit the spied on and his his his Party Members and officials claiming that this is all new for a National Security of border security. And stopping more refugees flocking inside turkey said in course turkey syria border thank you for that cinema as mentioned a lot there i want to have a look at why russia and turkey over that deal they made which was aimed at preventing all out war in the last rebel stronghold it goes back to september 28th in where they signed an agreement to create a deescalation zone and they said it would be a 20 kilometer demilitarized buffer zone between the Syrian Forces and the rebels also there would be the removal of what they described as the. Radical terrorist groups however russia and the Assad Government accused turkey of failing to fulfill its side of the deal and to separate the moderate fighters from what they call the militants turkey is also angered by the recent government attacks backed by russia which have killed hundreds of civilians since december it wants the syrian army to pull back or is pleased to have more in kabul and with us here in studio director of policy analysis of the arab center of research and policy studies my own as i went through the steps of all of the deescalation the it just hasnt worked absolutely right through i think both sides are responsible for that in my opinion because the russians they never stopped actually attacking the escalation zone and dont forget after all the russians they could not on our of the agreements they have made actually with turkey says the beginning of the as a 10 up process and in early 2017 they agreed for the creation of for the exclusion zone around damascus in the south in the north of homs. But they in fact on the other 3 and within within a list then and then a year in 2018 the talks only managed to see of the last the escalation after the agreement went to israel just you have just mentioned but even that agreement actually was never as is said by the russians and the Syrian Regime because the Syrian Regime there. Is to bring all of syrian territories back and on top of the Syrian Regime and they are using that agreement in fact. That the inability of to the key to to fulfill its part of that. Agreement specially as a bit in between what they call the extremists and the moderates within the Syrian Opposition use it as a pretext in order to avoid that agreement and try actually to control it once again so im imagining this meeting today and step past and of course one city earlier wouldnt it be fascinating to be in this room these 2 men basically staring each other down over over italy. And they are 2 such strong personalities 2 men who are very unlikely to back down and yet that is what the situation would actually need for there to be a difference for those people and for those pictures were looking at there it needs someone to make a compromise. But i think they have been able to compromise for the past 34 years in fact since 2016 in fact to many a tool to reach many agreements the 1st one was over the Euphrates Shield the 2nd one was. Operation. And russia agreed. For the incursion of the of the turkish army inside syrian territories the a managed to reach. At the sochi agreement the amenities that as a. Result of all that but if we virtual its why we still here i think because the 2 leaders are any bills so far because they are thinking of these agreements are something temporary rather than having like a final fine and settlement to this this conflict because find that settlement of this conflict acquires a lot of 2nd voices by the both sides and none of them actually is willing to do with that but my hunch is they will reach an agreement to deal because both actually they dont want to risk a confrontation direct confrontation between russia and turkey dont you have absolutely no interest in having such a confrontation as you pointed out. Russia and syrias goal here is to bring everything back around syrian control i mean thats completely understandable we are at a point in syrias war where the rest of the country is basically under serious control as well so whats turkeys goal here why are they hanging on so strongly because i think they believe if the if they lose that would be the end of the political process it means that the military solution have won the russians have won and hence there will be no need for any political solution if you will if you win if you win on the ground you dont need to actually to step to the negotiation table and reach reach a settlement i think to the key will be kicked out completely from the syrian conflict a deal was this one moment problem always a pleasure talking to you so thanks for coming in thank you. Now another development to tell you about turkey just announcing its deploying a 1000 special Police Forces at its border but this is the border with greece remember thousands of people trying to get to greece and bulgaria since anger opened its side of the borders as it tries to pressure the e.

To the checkpoint with greece now people are resorting to risking their lives by crossing this below. On the other side of the river bank cold and wet refugees were met by villagers looking to make a profit those who still had money in their pockets were asked to pay 2. 00 to 3. 00 for a ride with a horse and cart a tractor or a van instead of walking the short distance to get closer to the checkpoint at the greek border. All. Were also poor we dont have money and if we did we wouldnt be doing this. The odds of people making it to greece and being allowed to stay looking creasing least lim the greek government says only 1500. 00 migrants at most have entered since turkey opened its border gates last friday around 26000 have been stopped several men told us this was their 2nd attempt after theyd already been deported from greece but this was done just dig music.
