The battlefield in Northern Syria appears to become more complicated Syrian State Television is reporting that progovernment militia will join us backed kurdish fighters in a free and theyll Work Together to repel a turkish offensive after a call from the kurds to help protect the region state television says the forces will arrive within. A matter of hours now this could mean Syrian Forces directly confronting turkish troops whove been engaged in an operation against kurdish fighters since last month syrias kurdish why p. G. Has been a key u. S. Ally in the fight against eisel but turkey is opposed to the group which it views as a terrorist organization live now to istanbul aljazeera is a solid in job news job it is following the story for us from some lets start with this deal that could if fighters have reached with the Syrian Government forces to help repel tookey in Northern Syria this could could see the syrian army in direct conflict with turkeys forces could. Absolutely adrian thats the fear that many analysts have that what will happen when Turkish Forces come face to face with Syrian Government forces so far the turkish government hasnt responded to what it feels is going to happen because its waiting to see what is going to happen on the ground from what were hearing according to syrian media state media as well as other Media Outlets progovernment outlets that is they are saying that it is not going to be Syrian Government forces per se it is going to be the militias which are allied to the Syrian Government are supported by the Syrian Government and its International Allies including russia and iran just to give you a picture of who is fighting here these are goodish fighters backed by the United States who are asking for help from the Syrian Government which the United States has been calling a murderous regime and they are going to be also being backed by russia and iran who are backing the Syrian Government here and then all of these forces will be pitted against Turkish ForcesTurkish Forces are backing arab fighters here who are saying that they are making gains around free and this is the border town where the tensions are going this Operation Olive Branch has been ongoing by the Turkish Military since last month and they say that they are confident that they will be able to repel any sort of alliances that comes their way because they have been fighting the Syrian Regime for the last seven years at a summer while while weve got you want to ask you about another development away from that northern border near the capital damascus Syrian Government strikes on the rebel held on clay the recent goose of fourteen People Killed on sunday will that eighty rockets hit that particular area looks like the strikes are probably you to some sort of major offensive that could get underway in eastern kuta. Absolutely its the humanitarian suffering in eastern guta that seems to be it that seems to have no end in sight in the last twenty four hours weve seen these relentless strikes being stepped up by the Syrian Government not just air strikes but artillery strikes as well and what were hearing on the ground from syrian sources is that a number of government contingent who were stationed on aleppo countryside in it live and in hama have been told to fall back to words eastern huta which is raising fears that there might be an all out offensive a ground offensive in this besieged area its a rather large on cleavage hosts nearly four hundred thousand people who are who have been without a basic necessities food and medical supplies since two thousand and thirteen the United Nations and other humanitarian agencies have been calling on the Syrian Government to stop what it what they say is a starve or send a tactic and people on the ground in ghouta fear that once this operation this ground offensive begins everyone in this area going to be seen as opposition fight the Syrian Government regards all of them as terrorists and it is going to be a bloodbath it remains to be seen whether the Syrian Government is actually giving up on an all out offensive because its been steadily targeting rebel positions and weakening them from the ground and on in the air. Or at bay thanks indeed. Thats not a zero sum a binge over there in istanbul this is the moment that Syrian State Television announced the progovernment militias involvement in that operation in a free. To follow in the turkish attacks on our families and our friend and follow in the request of our Friends Citizens from the regime to protect them from the ongoing tega should question that lets just say many killings and destruction it has been declared now that popular troops will end to efren within hours lets get some analysis then from now in kabul on whos director of policy analysis of the Doha Institute for graduate studies he joins us now in the studio and good to see you again so the battlefield in syria becomes ever more complicated what are the implications of the fact that the Syrian Government. Supported militia could come directly into contact with Turkish Forces it is in fact becoming much more complicated in fact because we are having different parties with different objectives even the parties who are supposed to be fighting in support of one another. But the turkish intervention was made possible last month because of the agreement between russia and Turkey Russia allowed to keep to enter syrian territories in order to remove this forces from from a free today we are having the iranians actually stepping and with the Syrian Regime and trying to broker a disagreement with the core dish forces inside the city. The army and the Syrian Regime was a full up from the very beginning against the russian agreement on every so if there is to be managed to get the agreement with the Kurdish Forces inside the city that would mean is the city would return back to under the control of the Syrian Regime but the consequences of that will depend very much on the conditions if the kurds are going to accept the major conditions of the Syrian Regime will decide under very heavy weapons. Dance artillery and rocket launchers will they be exiting the city because the Syrian Regime is asking syria democracy. Forces to exit the city and to move to the east of the euphrates if these two conditions are met and of course i mean there are other details if these two conditions are met that didnt actually be a problem for turkey because for turkey the whole intervention in the first place was actually to force syria the Market Forces to leave the city and to move to the eastern part of syria to the east of the infinities these two things happen actually i think that we shouldnt be seeing any sort of fighting between the Syrian Regime and the could and that of course is so this isnt necessarily going to make matters worse in syria not because because as as as i said the russians will be trying actually to prevent any sort of confrontation between turkey the party which they have the agreement with in the first place in order to force the Kurdish Forces from a free in to the eastern part of syria and the Syrian Regime did a major ally on the ground so of these things happen i mean that would in fact should make in fact tookey happy with the consequences or that because if this operation continue on the ground. Its not necessarily that the turks will be able to take the city by force because it has been the military operation has been going on for the past four or five weeks and the turks have not been able to make major progress on the ground and they have actually been also having receiving casualties because of the fighting with the could this force so if he managed to get the could this force is now out of the city the major or the much object there should have been met in fact all right so where does the u. S. Stand of all this if it backs militarily the its been supplied weapons to the y. P. Gee its very true but here we are we are talking about their free the americans they made it clear from the very beginning that actually in a free in the forces who are fighting in a free in the could this force of writing if we are not our allies and we are not committed towards supporting them so in this particular area the americans are completely irrelevant its something between the russians that iranians the turks who are trying to work something out in order as a city to prevent the sort of confrontation that many people have been expecting maybe between the Syrian Regime and the kurdish for the took his forces in case the enter the end of their free zone thanks for explaining that putting it into perspective for us many thanks steve now in kabul and.

An internal report released by oxfam has revealed three of its workers threatened witnesses during an investigation into Sexual Misconduct in haiti the charity released the report after being criticised for a lack of transparency about allegations that its director in haiti used prostitutes during an aid mission the report says that roland van how why myron how martin im sorry admitted the behavior though he previously denied the claims lived out a london zoo is about to be phillips can tell us more what exactly is this report got to say bobbie. Well as you said i think one of the most shocking details is that three of the witnesses three of the suspects rather physically threatened intimidated witnesses during the investigation the overall impression that it gives of that oxfam operation in haiti in the post earthquake stage is that it was a dysfunctional and im happy place the very intimidation of those witnesses for example only happened because someone within oxfam had leaked the existence of the investigation to other Staff Members if you follow me it talks about intimidation bullying downloading of pornographic material it says that the use of under age prostitutes cant be ruled out now the names of the seven people themselves have been redacted this oxfam says is in compliance with various International Privacy laws and in compliance with u. N. Standards in cases of Sexual Exploitation sexual abuse but the full report which will be handed over to the government of haiti by oxfam later today will include those names so the government of haiti will be able to see for itself what oxfam was investigating in two thousand and eleven and the internal conclusions that oxfam reached so broadly what are the implications of this report for both oxfam itself and for the why the aid community. Well i think oxfam as an organization is still very much on on tenterhooks and its future is unclear as the report says oxfam needs better procedures to make sure that quote problem staff dont go and work for other aid organizations yet we know that in this particular case some of the individuals including the country director to whom you referred he went on to a prominent position with a different charity in bangladesh oxfam were seems just under ten percent of its income from the British Government it is agreed that it wont be good for any more u. K. Government contracts until it has effectively cleaned up its act if the British Government were not to resume financial help to oxfam in the long term while ten percent is a lot but i think the reputational damage to oxfam would be severe but yes this goes beyond oxfam and this is important to say for example the sunday Times Newspaper here in the u. K. Yesterday said that it believes that one hundred twenty different members of leading aid organizations have been involved in sexual abuse cases in recent years of course you have the president of haiti last week and we wait to see what his reaction will be to this report and he was asking embarrassing questions of m. S. F. Asking why seventeen members of its country stuff in haiti had been ordered home and why the haitian government wasnt given more information as to those circumstances are going to be many things to be phillips there live in london.
