Pope francis begins his visit to chile find out about the controversy overshadowing his church. And the star american gymnasts of the rio olympics simone biles says she is among dozens of athletes sexually abused by a former team doctor. Taking syria and russia have criticized a u. S. Plan to form a thirty thousand Strong Border Security Force in Northern Syria turkeys president accused washington of trying to create a terror army and pledged to quote drown it before it comes into being and the Syrian Government has vowed to drive the u. S. Presence from its territory the u. S. Says a force will secure areas along syrias border to the north with turkey and to the east with iraq it will be mostly made up of fighters from the Syrian Democratic forces a large part of that group is made up of kurdish fighters who turkey considers terrorists yes death is a u. S. Backed alliance of kurdish an arab fighters which currently controls almost twenty five percent of syrian territory in the north and east or each islands reports. Russias foreign minister had a stark rebuke for the u. S. On monday speaking as a Media Conference in moscow a lover of said the creation of his own controlled by u. S. Backed rebels risks syrias territorial integrity turkeys president also opposes the plan hes attacking reports of the u. S. Backed Kurdish Border force russia type says turkey will launch its i would military operation against the kurds in the Northern Syrian city of a free shot at that it is secure well and now the United States has confessed that they are forming a terror army along our border what we have to do is to strangle this terror army on our borders before it is born turkey has for its kurdish factions inside its borders for decades and doesnt want to see them gaining more power in neighboring syria box in Northern Syria the americans have long been supporting some Kurdish Forces this is a predictable turkish escalation against us steps to concretize our military part of the Syrian Democratic forces into an enduring Stabilization Force that can secure the long term turkey has been Crystal Clear actually that it regards the Syrian Democratic forces as a threat to its interests. Although u. S. President donald trump promised he would stop supporting kurdish fighters the pentagon never made that official the reported thirty thousand strong u. S. Backed border force would primarily come from kurdish led Syrian Democratic forces and would deploy along the syrian borders with turkey and iraq and along the Euphrates River valley the dividing line with Syrian Government forces. One of the syrian wars detectable trends last year was the emerging axis of cooperation between russia and turkey often joining together to criticize steps taken by the United States well if todays developments or anything to go by that the trend looks set to continue into two thousand and eighteen where we challenge aljazeera moscow jemma iran is a policy analyst at the arab center in washington d. C. He says the u. S. Appears to lack a clear plan. And obviously the u. S. Is trying to counter the u. Turkish russian. Plan with the support of iran of course to try to basically have control of those lips so now you see a u. S. Reaction its not clear whats the end game is the forces are already on the ground they are changing their their their amended basically to be a border zone which means if theyre going to have a Border Control they want to stop the turkish if it was inside syria this is what is the bit reacting this way but the the end game of the of the u. S. Troops is not clear where they are now so far is they want to finish the fight again isis civilize those are senior and go to run if those when they went to congress of u. S. Official to look to to put forward their policy they dont have answers about whats the end game this is the the most crucial issue that two thousand and eleven theres no Clear Strategy for for syria so this might backfire because you dont have on the Ground Support you have turkey on one side you have syria already on one side and then you have also iran so who are the allies of the as the f. And the u. S. In this supposed struggle now palestinian leaders have recommended that the Palestine Liberation Organization suspend its recognition of israel i mean taking part in the meeting of the Central Council focusing on the american recognition of jerusalem as israels capital in one can is not from the occupied west bank. Late on monday night the palestinian leadership issued a statement that could have far reaching consequences for the Peace Process the statement includes the call to suspend recognition of israel suspend security coordination with it and unite the palestinian factions through reconciliation the statement comes from the Central Council of the p. L. O. After two days of meetings it will be discussed further by the p. L. O. Executive committee and its up to that committee to implement the most policy at some point in the future. The statement also said that the u. S. Is no longer a partner for peace and that the palestinians want International Involvement but given that the us is perhaps the only country that can put pressure on israel will this work. We have to utilize different forms or back on to believe it has to know that this occupation this form of brutal colonialism can no longer be accepted and therefore we have to go to the International Criminal court we have to go to the International Court of justice we have to join an organization. Accede to charters and conventions that would protect us from the one hand count the us President Donald Trump has said he will cut u. S. Aid to the palestinians if that happens there will be an Economic Impact this factory produces extract of olive leaf tablets and hes part of a multi Million Dollar project to encourage enterprise in jericho the occupied west bank the factory was set up in this Industrial Zone with Japanese Investment without it it wouldnt have been successful for the Operations Manager here it shows that there are alternatives to the u. S. For example if your family is. Helping. To meet. It once is complete and this japanese funded Industrial Zone will house around five thousand workers and thats going to have a positive impact not just hey locally but across the palestinian territories now if you speak to palestinians what will tell you is oftentimes foreign aid unlike u. S. Aid comes without strings and preconditions. But its not Just Economics politics also plays a key role according to one analyst palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas has options. The mission community. Mission. And he. Will have. Looking for. Solutions if you are not ready for it. Despite palestinian confidence that there is no alternative to u. S. Involvement in the Peace Process how the International Community will react is key at some point the israelis and the palestinians will need some sort of framework for talks without the u. S. Will that will look like is currently on line imraan khan how does their occupied west bank the libyan coast guard has rescued more than three hundred fifty migrants who were trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea three boats carrying the migrants to europe capsized near the libyan coast all were rescued and brought back to tripoli and are now in a detention center. And armed group has attacked an airbase in the libyan capital tripoli killing at least twelve People Security sources say gunmen stormed mitiga air base where fighting spilled onto the runway causing flights to be diverted was the only functioning airport in tripoli after the International Terminal was damaged in twenty fourteen. Days following developments from tripoli. The brigade that attacked him. The individuals of that brigade say that there is a prison inside the base and controlled by this special Deterrence Force and that prison holds thousands of suspects and so many suspects have died on the floor by the special Deterrence Force they also accuse the special Deterrence Force of extra judicial practices inside the prison they say that the prison is outside of the state control and also does not belong to the official legislative institutions in the country pope francis a survived in chile for his first stop on a visit to south america crowds greeted the pontiff as he drove through the streets of the capital santiago but there were ten scenes ahead of his visit with five churches vandalized in recent days security for the papal visit was ramped up as a result a latin america editor listen human has been following the visit from santiago. Pope francis is finally here in chile and hes making his way right now to some travels main far affair with these people are waiting to see him pass in the popemobile but the reception is not exactly what the Catholic Church here would have hoped for there are people here of course as you can see but not nearly as many as one would have expected and certainly a lot less than in the other latin american countries that pope francis has visited this is likely to be the most challenging in latin america his home region because of widespread disillusionment with the church and its origin tiny leader this used to be one of the most painful countries in the world now less than fifty percent of chileans call themselves catholic and one of the reasons is the number of children who have been sexually abused by priests and even a nun these catholics came all the way from southern chile they wanted to be here when the pope passed so that he would see how upset they are with him for appointing a bishop to their city who is accused of covering up abuses. We have to do something we have to clean up the church we are angry at the heads of the church who have closed old doors to us indeed the popes visit to chile has brought survivors of clerical sex abuse from all over the world to pressure the pope to make good on promises of zero tolerance of predators theyre all priests in this country who are still in ministry eve some have even been. Prosecuted and convicted for abuse but then they are put back into Ministry Come up possibly be the right. But there were many here who were overjoyed to see pope francis when he mounted his popemobile. Who says he hopes the popes visit will help unify chileans organizers tell us that the pope is perfectly aware that hes coming to a country where the Catholic Church is in a deep crisis where people have lost faith but that is the reason why he is coming the big question is is there anything that he can say or do in the short time that hell be here just three days to revert the situation.
