He wants tonight the Serbian massacre at Srebrenica and compared Serbia's fate to that of Jews during the Holocaust b.b.c. News. Hello you are listening to us from the b.b.c. World Service with me via Aria we sit here in the middle of the b.b.c. News room which means we can track the significant stories from around the world that are coming into the journalists working around me and we continue to track the story in Syria after Turkey launched its military operation over the border just over 24 hours ago Turkey says it wants to establish what it calls a safe zone inside Syria fighting what it calls terrorists and also resettling many of the $3600000.00 Syrian refugees inside Turkey Turkey's government considers the Kurdish fighters in Syria as terrorist groups and those Kurdish fighters allege that Turkey has been targeting civilians. All the mare is from b.b.c. Turkish and they have been running a live page on today's developments She's here with me on what's the latest the latest news a Turkish offensive upon the Syrian northeastern part is still going. To marry fighter jets and ground offensive and the latest news arc coming from Turkish cities itself there are 6 people have died in 2 Turkish cities. And one of them is a Syrian baby I'm one of them is 11 year old kid so there is the rockets are fired from the Syrian part so 6 civilians have been dead in Turkey so an intensification of the conflict and casualties now it appears from both ends what have you been putting out on the live feeds because there's all this information coming in can you just scroll through it and sort of take us through that we have been working on our live page for 2 days since the operation have started actually delight page every day but this is specific afford operation so we are putting information over there which I verified because there are also many false information going on in social media and Internet and for example we are putting international reaction coming to the operation for example what Jeremy Corbyn has said about operational. Now from this trial they have bored the operation of Turkey we are also putting some internal reactions against the operation for example most of the operation Party opposition parties have been supporting the operation which is going on in Syria northeastern part there are some M.P.'s for example one m.p. From c.h.p. Position and. She has reacted against the operation because she says that the peace is the only solution for the region so the region should not be at rest stabilized and also we are talking about the social media reaction to it is operation for example there have been almost 70 people have been detained some of them have been released but some went almost 70 people have been detained and 2 of them of are journalists because of the social media posts they have posted in social media and there's also a lot of fake news which is what can be called as fake news on social media lots of videos. Shared how you verifying whether that is actually the situation on the ground actually we are just following the thrust of all the verifiable sources on the ground because as you have said there are so many photos and videos and also there are so many photos and videos related to Kargil face all there are also very graphical graphic images so we have been trying to go through the people on the ground and to do it as we are sometimes they are fine by calling their sources so we are just following on we are updating the page with the verifiable reliable sources and of course there's been a lot of reaction on social media a journalist my good Leo staff writer at The Atlantic has tweeted and the once threat to open the gates and flood refugees into Europe is one he has made and followed through on before you used to be able to watch migrants back into buses headed for the coast as Istanbul police stood and watched this is the ugliest kind of politics there must be a lot of anxiety in Turkey with all the refugees who are there. Actually it's true there have been many reactions to the Syrian refugee policies of the government so that's one of the reasons for government to secure that border according to their statement and put some Syrian refugees to the border inside of the Syria because our Don has also said that and the government has been saying that we have been having 3600000 Syrian refugees over here and it has also economic consequences so they want to have they want to build some houses in the warder and they want to move some refugees to the inside of Syria because Turkish citizens have assured him so much reaction against Sometimes the existence of the Syrian refugees inside of the cities and how has the Turkish media been covering the conflict actually it's a little bit controversial because the structure of Turkish media is mostly pro-government saw most of the media institutions have been praising the operation but there are also some opposition websites spot that everybody is very cautious about covering what's going on on the ground well thank you so much for that information always demand from b.b.c. Turkish was running a live page where you can if you know Turkish You can also go on to their website and follow the latest developments on that now with the decision by the United States to withdraw from its position in northern Syria and Turkish forces moving in the fate of thousands of suspected Islamic state detainees remains unclear Sophia Lee is from b.b.c. Reality Check the team who fact check stories to help you understand the reality of the news we report and today they've published a piece online with the headline Islamic state who is taking back the foreigners who joined his Sophie so for fathers in these detention camps and Syria being held by the or created by the democratic forces which is a Kurdish led force according to the u.s.g.s. It's a system it's about 12. Foreign fighters these are men foreign fighters in their detention centers and off these 12000 fighters 4000 they say that they're from foreign countries as in they're from Central Asia or Europe Southeast Asia and other places we looked into it trying to check whether because these numbers are very difficult to check this is an effort as the of because they're on the ground and then they are keeping that these prisoners so they're claiming that they're about $12000.00 the American Department of Defense which also carries out operations in Syria and has a new lease and they've been withdrawn by President Trump according to their report their quarterly report they say that there are about 10000 fighters there and from that 10002000 are from foreign fighters and 800 of those 2000 fighters from European countries so the this is the basic sort of laid kind of a different levels or the different place sort of categories that if these fighters are we we have seen that the detention can centers are very small and they were kept in really sort of a horrid situation and if I could ask you I can see there's a map in the piece that you know Don And where exactly are these sent does and where the conflict is in context of that so mostly these does detention centers in North Eastern and North of a certain Syria along the borders of Turkey these are these are the places that are under control of Kurdish led forces as the f. And this is where the Turkish offensive is right now they're targeting this this part of the country exactly Yeah so one of the biggest camps of this detention centers of course a different scattered different areas in northern eastern Syria Syria but then there can. As well where they're they're keeping refugees or families of bias fighters of the one of the biggest camp is a whole camp which has about $70000.00 people in there and according to the u.n. 94 percent of these 70000 women and children and of those 970000 people 11000 are believed wives of foreign fighters and their kids so those who belong to other countries other countries are willing to take those fighters or their families back and keep them in detention there instead off in these areas in Syria yes I think that that's one of the things that the United States and particularly President Trump has accused European countries that have refused to take these fighters and their families I think yes the process of taking that biters back is been piecemeal there have been only about few 100 people that have been particularly only minor in movement have been taken out of so for example I can tell you from from your of Francis taking about 18 sort of minors in women Germany less than 10 Sweden Norway about 6 in 4 so the the process is slow and I think there is a reluctance in European countries to take these these fighters by because there again they're worried that it did they take these people baggage than than the the reaction from the public and how to sort of assimilate in them and into the into the society. That was a lead from the b.b.c. Reality check team and later this hour on o s 3 off to bring you some of the reporting by our correspondents on the border we'll also provide you with a little background information about the codes.
