Shooting world war 2. And has more on the latest developments. Tensions started growing when donald trump announced that he was withdrawing u. S. Forces from North Eastern syria at that point we understand turkey began its offensive against the kurdish militias which it considers to be terrorists now earlier trump had denounced the decades of war by the United States and said that he intended to deescalate and bring u. S. Troops home from around the world at this point as trump has announced that u. S. Forces have withdrawn from northEastern Syria where they were intermingled with the kurdish fighters he also announced that the captured i still fighters will be transported out of the region we have no soldiers in the area. Weve been talking to turkey for 3 years theyve been wanting to do this for many years as you know theyve been fighting each other for centuries we were put into this battle it projected it was supposed to be a 3030 day period and weve been there for many many years we are. Taking some of the most dangerous isis fighters out weve taken him out and were putting them in different locations where its secure donald trump has faced Harsh Criticism for his decision and its being widely reported that he seems to be turning a blind eye on turkeys offensive against the s. D. F. Fighters who were allies of the United States now trump has responded to this criticism by pointing out that the kurds did not support the United States during the 2nd world war and were not involved in the invasion of normandy has been a key. Used by any political figures in the United States of a centrally abandoning a longtime ally of the United States but trump has said that the United States really had nothing to gain by supporting these Kurdish Forces now its being reported that the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs spoke to mike pompei o the u. S. Secretary of state and that they have reached a common understanding regarding their operation against the kurdish militias in northEastern Syria now there has been a strong reaction from a number of European Countries that do not approve of turkeys recent decision to assume. To the street and to scope. Pollutions. As we are speaking on the weight this action is looked leading to good results and we have to say. To turn sion of. Friends the secretary general is very concerned by the recent developments in northeast syria. Any military operation must fully respect the un charter and International Humanitarian law the turkish offensive in the northern Eastern Syria is a danger he danger to the safety of the currents it danger because it helps dies who have been fighting for 5 years it needs to stop so france has brought the matter to the Security Council now theres been a strong reaction from a number of middle Eastern Countries as well jordan lebanon and other countries have spoken up denouncing turkeys move we also heard from the president of iraq the iraqi president said that this was a grave escalation that will cause untold humanitarian suffering and empower terrorist groups throughout nato secretarygeneral stoltenberg has said that turkeys response should involve restraint and that it should be proportionate to the threats that it faces our ally turkey is at the forefront of the crisis on the house a legitimate security concerns it has suffered a horrendous terrorist attacks and it hosts millions so soon for g. s it is important to avoid actions that may further destabilization the region escalate tensions and cause war human suffering now on thursday there is expected to be a un Security Council meeting regarding the situation with the turkish offensive against kurdish Kurdish Forces in northEastern Syria tensions remain high in the region as the United States has withdrawn its forces and turkey has swung into action. For the president of the code of assembly all of syrias. Thanks for joining us so great to have in the program today donald trump saying take a look back at history saying the kurds didnt help the u. S. In the world war 2 on the beaches of normandy or suppose hes about to shoot here is one of betrayal thats how the kurds see it at least would you agree with his sentiment. 1st of all i think he needs to go back to school and get it because it seems to me hes not listening to his National Security team he does not understand the complexity of the issue the kurdish issues the Kurdish People exist in that region but they were not a nation theyve been theyve been homeland been divided among for nation iraq iran iraq syria and turkey so the kurds been a natural ally for the United States for many years and for the World Community as well and question i says. All these terrorist islamic groups so and also protecting christian minorities years edis kurds and other groups in the group as well so the courts have been natural ally for things like the state and allies for the united stated for the World Community and the u. N. Fortunately it looks to me that donald trump does not understand his Security Team his National Security team in his own administration and many folks disagreed with him from matters to bolton and others so i think this is a problem for him he makes a decision in his trying to come up with excuses to convince himself and this is wrong the Kurdish People deserve and they fought on behalf of the humanity to to crush isis and now donald trump is going to let them loose any terrorist attack on the world its going to be the 1st perspire unstable person would be donald trump 2nd turkey and 3rd the you and the International Community for allowing this to occur so it is essential for the you really to stop turkey from invading this kurdistan the only haven in that area so it is important for the russia for all for china for a european for american to stop. At the u. N. More and basically to make sure that turkey doesnt. It doesnt get the coverage it needs to do whatever it wants in syria speaking of the battle against isis laws can so many as whats going to happen to the largest prison is in the region the u. S. Has said that taking the most dangerous fighters out of that area moving them to another location what do you make of that move i mean hes going to take responsibility hes going to control what happens to these prisoners later. Because again it looks like he doesnt understand the issues again i says youre talking with a group of people who believe that they will destroy themselves and they go to have and these are the terrorists and dangerous group and if one goes another one gets in this place now theres 12 camps or 12 prison that the Kurds Holding them these thousands of people if you let them loose are going to be a threat to the e. U. To the United States to russia to everybody else in the world it is essential to stop donald trump from allowing turkey to invade this area and the other thing is also need to look at it turkey does get in there as they did and are free in the western court of the spawn of syria they would take these people and put different uniform and there and create a column Syrian National army most of the Syrian National army the Syrian National council of the syrian groups opposition are mostly terrorist group that turkey funds and support and these are the same troop that isis today exist and their critics jails right now theyre the ones there will be creating terror acts so throughout the world again donald trump would be responsible in turkey the 2nd in the International Community for not acting hes saying that hes going to take them to our places that is not correct many time donald trump said something and he did Something Else so you cannot really believe what he says and he more friends or foes dont trust his word anymore he is defeating United States prestige and obama started by eroding america of christie each as a superpower and donald trump is finished and that is worse than obama. Just look at the wider picture you mention the International Community the u. N. Security council set to meet on this issue we have unity from countries on this issue urging restraint not to do this do you think were going to see some particular actions and consequences for and as a result of this military operation. I would hope so i would i would encourage russia the United States canada all the groups u. N. Security Council Groups to to to force turkey not give cover to invade and create a no fly zone kurdistan the only region again lets look kurdistan of Iraqi Kurdistan of syria the only safe haven for minorities for christians for the jewish for years it isnt muslims and everybody else and this is the only compatible region in that part of the world with us 40000000 people deserve to have their nation tricky is only doing this for one reason ethnic cleansing and changing demographic wants to bring 4w5w Syrian Refugees put them into a kurdish area change demographic at it as they did and are free and thats all they want to do destroy a kurdish identity and also promote the new Ottoman Empire this is a threat to the International Community yes the Kurdish People. And you would be have as an International Community you need to also protect the kurds and if you dont the threat is going to be tremendous what we have seen i says and al qaeda that would be isis 2. 0 or more dangerous far more secure and dangerous especially knowing they defeated a superpower in the region and they have a nato ally the 2nd biggest army in nato supporting them directly and this is something to consider i think it is important for the russian not to allow it all the terrorist chatter in another group who are fighting with these isis to regroup and become a threat. In the later days for russia not to be transactional as donald trump they need to think what is more important also it is essential to really look at the middle east not allow turkey to reach reshape iran intricate to reshape middle east according to their interest then they need to really step up and protect the kurds just briefly want to talk about the humanitarian situation in the region there are millions of kurds there it is theres refugees the situation is fragile as it is weve already heard of civilian casualties occurring the 1st ones with the artillery offensive by how concerned should we be by the humanitarian situation here could we see it getting out of control. Yes absolutely when. The shell attack by airplanes in turkey shells today ill give you just from one city of commission where im from one Christian Lady older lady and 5 other civilian including 3 children. Teens were killed this is as a result of turkey just shelling so where theyre attacking theyre not just attacking. Idea go are Syrian Democratic forces theyre basically attacking the critics population to terrorize them to leave the region and allow bringing 4 to 5000000 islamists. Or other Syrian Refugees to change that demographic as they did not free enough when it was 99 percent kurds today is about 10 percent credit because most of. The day you find overwhelming majority they were for her i says members and exist in rule that area under the Syrian National army that tricky supports and trained with american and nato money and dollars and weapons and so it is a dangerous. It is its going to be a disaster for all these people because they have to flee for their life whoever can mobilize and manage to sleep so again i ask russia and the International Community in the United States to reconsider not allow turkey to do what it wants to do and there again i want to remind and when i says we are solving the kurds the turkish tanks and troops are waiting and watching and laughing cheering for isis to do this and helping in providing logistical them while slaughtering kurds in christian the other group and beheading the groups. Or so this is what turkey is trying to do the same thing here is sort of is not trying to help and it its all about we all running out of time we already have time but mr. President of Kurdistan National assembly of syria of us thanks once again for your time here today and all to international. Now for a 6th day running thousands are again protesting against austerity in ecuadors capital i made unrest in clashes the governments been forced to relocate to the countrys 2nd city the protests were triggered by the removal of fuel subsidies as part of a deal with the International Monetary fund many demonstrators come from poor and indigenous communities the protests became violent with molotov cocktails and stones thrown Police Responded with tear gas which hit all correspondent Nicholas Odonovan he reports from the unrest in quito. Right now in an early chaos there is our friends and thousands of 1st i says lets try and get closer to the problem line just that just a few feet and why its the president ial palace its heavily armed call good military and Police Forces these protests to florence again. In minutes ago while i was there in the large show you that were spanish version we dont hit by. And thats what weve been seeing all day the protesters are using sales stones bricks just like the. And Police Firing back with tear gas with sound bombs its a situation of extreme tension in the streets. Just to give you an idea like riddles made clear suspended any activity in the city center they say its not safe for doctors and for ambulances instead weve got crews are volunteers that are just taking the dozens and dozens of wounded people to bus stops and train them there so its actually pretty sure can as you mentioned these protests and floaty measures that were implemented by the government included scrapping the subsidies or do you know.
