The turkish town house is only a few kilometers away from the fighting come back to brock and his friends are discussing turkeys operational if branch nobody here believes in its wish to make sure. That we dont know the area around offering well so we cannot really say how long it will take but yes it may take a long time. How long do you think.

For civilians you know whats on the sort of. Quality metalwork you both sides of the border want to operationalise branch could still bring. Jones is in the door in the turkish president had wanted a short shop operation targeting what he calls kurdish terrorists but it doesnt seem to be growing that. There is severe face of vicious fighting now reported in many areas of this for an enclave much of the fighting is now focused on these remote numerous villages in this very or rough terrain reports of villages are exchanged continuing to Exchange Hands and its a massive deployment of forces by turkey nato second largest army much of the operation is being hampered by bad weather which is restricting the use of air power which the Turkish Military are relying very heavily on this operation but the military claiming to make progress claiming to have killed over two hundred fifty fighters although an independent monitoring the syrian observatory says that the numbers are around a hundred spread between post sites equally activists need to allies have been calling for restraint but why has the criticism of turkeys offensive into Northern Syria been so cautious. Well i think there is realisation among turkey turkey a nato ally said that directly confronting president over this operation will ultimately prove counterproductive given the fact that the president has staked his reputation on this hes made this a national war war for the future of the country so i think its a realisation that directly challenging him will probably only make him even more intransigent i think there is a speculation of behind the scenes theyre trying to rein in this operation bring it to an early end limit the scope of this operation also there is a fear that turkey could be moving increasingly towards russia given the fact that moscow has given the green light to this operation as it controls syrian air space so russia is dorothy in this conflict because the longer this conflict goes the more danger there is that this will widen to something much bigger isnt it dorian. Well that is the really the big fear among nato partners and i think also are the key regional players iran and russia while at the moment a moron and russia may be quite happy with this operation given the fact it is straining relations between turkey and its western allies i think it would be concerned about how far turkey goes at the moment turkey seems to be confined to africa but all the rhetoric coming from korea that they want to expand this operation across the whole of turkeys southern border with syria now that would cause big concerns i think particularly among iran and russia they are anxious to keep turkeys presence in syria restricted and while russia does seem to have the card of controlling airspace and believe that do have this power of influence over the more the one who gets deeper and deeper involved into the into the conflict it may be more difficult to rein them in so i think that will be a factor in moscows considerations but yes youre right moscow is seen as the key player in this ongoing situation and dont really think you can avoid all the implications of this operation for the civilians trapped by the fighting. That is the really the big concern given the fact that is fighting is now moving into inhabited areas these villages many of the villages are believed to be trapped and the big concern is what will happen to the main city of a free home to several hundred thousand people many of them are now trapped believe it or not been able to get out if the fighting reaches that city then there really is a fear of a major humanitarian crisis daryn jones in the stumble thank you very much for that update.
