Where a gathering of people probably around the world is. Into the. I saw appears to be on the verge of being pushed out of its selfproclaimed capital in syria rocka local Officials Say that some myself isis have been allowed to leave the city after a deal was brokered by tribal leaders on saturday its not clear how many faces are still inside. The city kurdish backed Syrian Rebels have said that the battle could take hours or days and take you live now to our series hashem is following developments for us from an attack here on the turkish syria border what is the latest fashion on the fighting in iraq are. Dozens of foreign fighters to occupy fewer buildings in the very center of the city of the problem fighters face of this particularly. Further advance to words the. Many narrow alleyways that lead to the area were concerned about suicide bombers booby trapped buildings snipers or will be trapped. Cars there they are trying to move very slowly and carefully this to try and convince the remaining of foreign fighters to leave the area but it seems that some of them have decided to continue the why. To the this explains the confusing reports that weve been getting over the last twenty four hours about whether iraq has been fully liberated or not but many top officials now inside the rock from the which is the alliance of different factions backed by the u. S. Say their announcement is going to be made today question i just want to remind people that ice will enter draka in twenty fourteen its control though soon spread to areas of iraq in the armed groups seized control of large swathes of both countries three years later its territory has been reduced to the Iraqi Government launching an offensive to push it from its last stronghold there as well as being on the brink of losing rocker in syria i saw has just lost the town of mayor dean Syrian Government forces and their allies are also trying to drive the armed group from the last areas it holds in the city so how significant would rackers capture be what does it mean for eyesore. Its a major setback for i said because in two thousand and four feet fourteen when they swept through who use ways of land in syria and control most of the eastern part of the country. This is their capital and syria and they were hoping to use it as a platform to further expand the provinces like homs. And lattakia that wont happen any more now. For many is the beginning of the end for ice in syria. Yesterday the last seen in there and. For them from an Economic Perspective because it has most of the oil fields in syria and when i said took over those fields it used the money it generated from from the exportation of the. Fields to finance its war machine not only in syria but also in iraq to get more weapons and to recruit people from different parts of the world now those resources have been drained and i said is that just confined to a few areas. Like a book about on the border with iraq if the rock falls today as the the syrian army the russians the International Coalition led by the u. S. With further consent trade their final push towards the south to control all of the areas that were under control of isis in syria. Many thanks to their lives on the border between turkey and Syria KurdishPeshmerga Forces have rejected a warning from iraqi troops to withdraw from an area south of the disputed province of kirkuk the contested position controls access to an airbase and oil fields tension has been on the rise since kurds voted overwhelmingly for a session from iraq last month John Strafford reports from west of kirkuk. Two weeks ago these Iraqi Government forces were fighting eisel in this area now after their victory they are advancing towards Kurdish Peshmerga positions the vehicles you can see there in the distance are shia militia vehicles they have moved closer to that burn to that modern wall in the last few minutes the dust you can see on the horizon there the peshmerga are telling us are actually tanks they say there are at least fifty tanks in that convoy the situation on this defensive position with the peshmerga is increasingly tense it was a similar situation to the southwest of this peshmerga position more shia militia and iraqi army that closed in the peshmerga say they will not withdraw. Before the iraqi army were fighting i saw them and they didnt Pay Attention to us but now i still have been beaten they have moved towards our position here we will not withdraw we will defend this position to the last peshmerga we will not leave our position the peshmerga took control of the disputed or oil rich city of kirkuk in the surrounding area in two thousand and fourteen when the iraqi army fled and i saw a fence of. Shia militia groups under the command of iraqi Prime Minister hyderabadi have threatened to take control of the Oil Fields Peshmerga reinforcements arrived soon after the Government Troops advanced towards this position. Some of the more than six thousand patients got deployed here in the last few days everybody denies he is force he has had moved into the area to fight the patients but he has warned the Kurdish Regional government not to obstruct Iraqi Military operations in the area the kurdish governor of kirkuk says there is only one way to prevent a potential conflict here for the iraqi army and has decided to go back to their places to go back to where they say they will go either way. It will not deescalate but its the only way. These kurdish fighters fulton defeated i still in Northern Iraq in cooperation with the Iraqi Military and shia militia now they say theyre having to defend their positions against them what chance is not a big deal in Northern Iraq and joins us live as weve heard rumors about deadlines and threats against the Kurdish Forces what whats really going on. Well sadly according to the Iraqi Government the Government Spokesperson for d. C. Hes flatly denying any such rumor about a deadline. Weve heard as a say conflicting reports a lot of these reports coming out of the k r g. Commanders saying that theyve received deadlines from the shia militia groups and at least one report of a placement a commander saying that the line had come from the Iraqi Government itself but as i say they rocket government flatly denying these rumors but whats interesting is the kind of language thats being used here is well subtle how do you see the government Spokes Person has previously said and ill read the statement out he said that the government has a mandate from parliament to impose federal all sorts of on disputed areas those areas around kirkuk and this was a vote that Parliament Got in the wake in the immediate off tomorrow controversial referendum last month as we know the Kurdish Peshmerga took control of these areas in two thousand and fourteen after the iraqi army fled and as we saw in that report there has been a large troop build up from the Iraqi Military and shia militias in that area we spoke yesterday to a commander in that area to come out kill cookies head of the west and come on a large contingent of peshmerga troops and west of kit a cook and he said that they would continue to defend those positions and demanded that the hotshoe the xabi the shia militia and iraqi forces withdraw all to what he described as the sort of historic boundary for the kurdish area of Northern Iraq which is the hum rina mansons. But the government as i say denying that there is any real kind of offensive and they saying that this is just part of a standard redeployment off to the battle against eisel in that area around. It was one in the last ten days or so chance many thanks for the live below.

Well underway in australias snap election that could see the far right Freedom Party enter into government as part of a coalition the elections being held a year early after the current government fell apart in opinion polls suggest that the conservative Peoples Party is leading which means that australia could today elect the worlds youngest leader David Schaper reports from the area. Called the austrian politics. At thirty one he may be short on years but hes long on ambition at this t. V. Broadcast with you Peoples Party shows his eyes are set firmly on the chancellor ship. The polls put it well ahead but hes done it by poaching some of the policies of the far right. On the. Illegal migration to achieve order and security in austria. Its the Freedom Party led by Heinz Christian straka that could be drawn into a new right Wing Coalition with the chancellor they draw their support from a working class aged eighteen by the waves of immigration and euro struck has said his neo nazi links and hues could now be dismissed he described himself then as stupid and naive that there is no islam does not belong in austria and we do not want to. Own homelands i think something needs to change its a very strong to the left over very strong to the right and the middle needs to come back the middle class is missing. A ban on face veils came into effect here this month but opinion was divided amongst worshipers at friday prayers at the mosque about what life might be like under you right Wing Coalition. And this no im afraid to be living in a country where the women are suppressed because of the headscarf or what they are wearing their exteriors and i am afraid of that as i want to become a doctor. I mean muslims are mature voters in vienna and we do not feel vulnerable well lets protect them before austria has been largely successful in integrating its Muslim Minority but the islamophobia card is being played in this election and its winning votes. The changing Political Landscape in australia is likely to add to the problems of the german chancellor Angela Merkel shell no longer find natural allies in government here. Al jazeera. In kurdistan a president ial election is underway none of the candidates is expected to win outright but many analysts predicting a runoff between two former Prime Ministers but security has been high due to where previous Political Violence in the country kyrgyzstans first two leaders since the fall of the soviet union were removed from Office Following riots robin for i see a walker is in the capital bishkek. This is an election unlike any other to have taken place in central asia in over twenty five years and the reason its so special is because the president of kyrgyzstan i almost make atom by is standing down according to the constitution and that means that whatever the outcome of this election kyrgyzstan will have a new president who isnt there because the incumbent died while in office or through some kind of Political Revolution and kyrgyzstan has seen two of those in the last twelve years the other reason its important is that kyrgyzstan is have a real choice there are more than twelve candidates on the ballot paper although there are two front runners saddam by. And a man called on the back of now mr sort of boy jim bianco of is the president s chosen successor hes from his Political Party hes a seasoned politician a man in his sixtys mr band of is much younger hes in his fortys hes considered young dynamic hes an entrepreneur he made a lot of money kyrgyzstan is being offered a choice on the one hand theyre being offered security and stability by the president s chosen candidate more of the same the last seven years have at least been peaceful in kyrgyzstan there was a violent Political Revolution here in twenty ten all they could choose mr but by and of who is promising to inject some energy some vitality into the curious economy the curious electoral system has undergone something of a revolution of its own in the last few years digital Voting System designed to eliminate fraud amongst voters and in accounting process whoever can get more than fifty percent will win this election if they dont theyll be a second round runoff in november. Iran has warned that the u. S. Is isolating itself on the International Stage by deciding to decertify the Iranian Nuclear deal russia china and the e. U. Have all reaffirmed their support for the twenty fifteen agreement same bus ravi reports from. Well most people will have seen the political theater the night before on their smartphones in iran newsstands are still a great place to get a check of the political atmosphere and the morning after divergent speeches from the president s of the United States and iran headline writers had a lot to play with trump save the nuclear deal says one illiterate dictator says another and this one simply hes just nagging. Formed oh i think the way he spoke was very rude and i dont think that its possible to have any relations with the u. S. As long as hes president and thats what i meant. In my opinion we shouldnt even talk about trauma because what he said was totally meaningless from a legal perspective it was unwise nonsense. From a political point of view he knows nothing at all hes not a politician hes just a very rich businessman who sits at the top of power now he cant make political decisions properly for the future of the country i think response wasnt bad but he should have been tougher we need to really stand up against the u. S. So it would stop them thinking that they can dictate what ever they want us. Iranian say trumps comments about their country are not only inaccurate but attacks against their National Pride the american president has been trying to paint a picture of iran as a Country Living under one man rule a kind of dictatorship and while it is true that iran has a Supreme Leader who presides over the country the fact is he doesnt always get what he wants this country has elected officials who have a great deal of power theres a president theres a parliament and they have elections every four years and that means that Public Opinion really matters. And no doubt Public Opinion is a concern for irans leaders hammad mousavi is a professor of law and politico. Science at the university he says when the nuclear deal was signed there was great optimism but government promises of jobs and Foreign Investment havent been kept so even before this whole trend issue from the u. A. E. Inside you have this disillusionment from the nuclear deal if things get worse then i think there would be very little incentive from the iranian side to you know keep up with this deal the nuclear deal improved irans public image on the global stage but here at home iranians are growing impatient to see its benefits.
