S. Backed Kurdish Forces it follows president Donald Trumps decision to begin withdrawing u. S. Troops from syria well our correspondent charles structured is in cali on takis border with syria charles what kind of troop movements have you been seeing where you are and is an incursion imminent. Its very difficult to say whether they think any kind of incursion is imminent but certainly evidence would suggest last night that that may well be the case on our drive back to hotel last night we passed dozens of military vehicles heading in those direction a. P. C. s what we believe to be trucks carrying ammunition and flatbed trucks transporting tanks as a safe to safe to say at least 70 vehicles just in the course of our journey 45 minute journey back to our hotel were also hearing reports certainly on the tricky media certainly turkish media some outlets saying that there were turkish drones that may have been operating last night over syrian territory across the border possibly on Reconnaissance Missions we cant confirm that and you mentioned in your intro yes this interesting point that the turks are going to be joined by what it describes the Free Syrian Army they call themselves as the National Opposition of syria and we saw buseys all of these fighters being transported from syria around aleppo across the border into turkey yesterday we believe theyre staying on a camp close by and its understood that they will be joining the in any kind of ground force operation military military analysts suggesting that they think that the f. S. A. Troops might actually go in from an area around among beach which is to the west of here with a plan to join forces with any Turkish Ground forces to go in from this area further east of course we cant confirm any of this this is speculation from analysts who say that beginning to get leaks even from the Turkish Military officials the speculation goes on but all evidence would suggest that yes some sort of material put operation could be indeed very imminent and tell us what options then do the cads have now could receive an unlikely alliances forming on the other side of the border as well. Well again quoting military analysts that looking at basic facts in terms of weaponry and how the stiff can defend themselves lets not forget that the s. D. F. Were very successful in their endeavors in the battle against eisel because they were supported so heavily by u. S. Led Coalition Airstrikes thats not going to be an option if indeed this military operation happens we understand that the americans and other other countries have been helping the s. D. F. Of supplied weapons they have antitank weapons that analysts are saying could present a problem to the turkish tanks but militarily certainly analysts are saying that you know that they could be very easily outgunned by the Turkish Military in terms of the s. D. F. Strategy thats very interesting yesterday we heard from also only there was a tweet released by the f. D. A. Leadership saying that they were contemplating appealing to the Syrian Regime and the russians for help in case in the in the eventuality of any kind of aggression an interesting lead just in the last few hours the Russian Foreign minister has said he tweeted that the russians. If theyre asking the syrians or calling for some sort of dialogue between the s. D. F. And the Syrian Regime so it sounds like at least the russians are taking that kind of comment from the very seriously theres been no full comment respect to that idea from the Syrian Regime but it just shows you how allegiances and alliances could will shift and it shows you how desperate the ball as this military build up when this tension increases along the border town stratfor that keeping an eye on talking has border with syria for thank you channel.

The statement about the iraqi protests from the u. S. State department is the 1st official comment from washington about these demonstrations its a readout of the phone call which the secretary of state mike pompei o had with the iraqi Prime Minister and its pretty tough in the statement pompei o apparently told the Prime Minister that he condemned the violence that those who may have committed Human Rights Violations need to be held fully accountable for their behavior and that the Iraqi Government needs to do much more to address the complaints and concerns of the protesters from baghdad to nasiriya to other parts across iraq the statement says that the government needs to do a much better job of respecting peoples right to protest as well as the right of the press to carry out their work and mr problem pale said that much more needs to be done to provide iraqis and especially young population more access to jobs to more reliable utilities and food and to basically make it so that its a place where they want to continue to live and not simply see their country go the way of others that have concentrated power in the hands of a very few. Now an overnight curfew is in place in ecuador as capital kits are after thousands of protesters forthwith Security Forces during a 6th day of violent demonstrations many are furious at the governments decision to end a 40 year old fuel subsidy as part of Economic Reforms in america it is and you see in human reports from peter was that the indigenous ecuadorians continue converging on the capital to give their president in ultimatum either repeal highly unpopular austerity measures or get out they say so to them as with dealers and weve come from the middle of ecuador to reject this unpopular government thats taken measures dictated by the i.
