Some very interesting details are now coming out of the joint investigation in the netherlands about the downing of m h f one team here in ukraine 5 years ago intercepts of phone conversations between leaders of the separatist movement here in the east of ukraine with the people high officials lower officials in moscow are now being published and one of these high officials is flooded sluff off with a special advisor to Vladimir Putin on ukraine and in another phone call the minister of defense. Was mentioned also very close confidant for Vladimir Putin and in that phone conversation the leader of the separatist movement sat that on a man that with a mandate of man were traveling from moscow to the separatist area basically to remove the leadership of that separatist area all these details are important to basically paint a picture not only military help came from russia but these phone calls also being depicted that the whole administration of the separatist area also the whole budget was coming from russia until now the joint Investigation Team has mentioned for sub suspect 3 russians and my new craney and theyre basically from a lower level and the Investigation Team is now aiming for do. Those who are high ranking who have given orders to make sure that the book missile that bound the mh 17 made its way to it into ukraine and that it was actually being used its very doubtful that any of these suspects will actually go to trial which starts in march next year in the netherlands but there will be destroyed more suspects a possibly going to be mentioned the International Criminal court has agreed to investigate crimes against muslims in the i. C. C. Says there is reason to believe me and most military committed widespread acts of violence in 2017 and that they could qualify as crimes against humanity more than 700000 women get fled to neighboring bangladesh to escape when human rights officials have called ethnic cleansing a Foreign Ministers from more than 70 nations are gathering in washington to talk about strategies to defeat isis the 2nd meeting this year of the Global Coalition to defeat the armed group it was set up it was called to review their strategies particularly after the recent deaths of ice a leader beckon in baghdad today were watching the space once occupied by this fraudulent caliphate like a hawk thats why were maintaining our residual president saddam from southern syria and a capacity to conduct air operations we reposition some of our troops in northeast syria and in the broader region as well to make sure that isis will never get a 2nd wind and to prevent isis from recapturing the oil fields. Weve gotten assurances from Coalition Partners and our partners on the ground on their responsibility for foreign fighters and well hold them to account. Our mike hanna has more on this from washington. This week the commemoration of the soldiers who lost their lives in service and speaking at a veterans day event in new york President Donald Trump highlights what he regards as the signature military victory just a few weeks ago American Special forces raided the isis compound and brought the worlds number one terrorist leader to justice thanks to a marriage in war al baghdadi is dead. The killing of abu bakar bug he was welcomed by all members of the Global Coalition to defeat isis but most were less enthusiastic about another recent development that had a major impact in northeast syria the unilateral withdrawal of u. S. Forces from the region which led to a massive military operation by turkey against Kurdish Militia that had long been fighting alongside coalition forces. The kurds had forced i sold out of Northern Syria and assumed the governance of the land they captured losing an estimated 11000. 00 troops in the process but now the kurds have been driven from many of their strongholds by the Turkish Military and with the u. S. Protection stripped away they are turning to russia and syria for support on the ground at least the Global Coalition is beginning to brag meant the division intensified by President Trumps decision to redeploy u. S. Forces to guard oil fields in northwest syria we want to bring our soldiers home but we did leave soldiers because were keeping the oil i like the oil were deep in the oil this unilateral shift in objectivism deep concern to a number of members in the coalition with some contending the seizing of Oil Facilities in a sovereign state contravenes geneva conventions in russia has an excellent propaganda point now President Trump has made the u. S. Mission in the kolisch and about not only securing the oil but taking the oil and profiting from it in moscow theyre going to have a heyday accusing the United States and its allies of stealing oil i mean in the imperialist war its a subject that will be at the heart of discussions at the u. S. State department this week all agree the situation in northeast syria has grown even more complicated but many members of the coalition argue this is a consequence of unilateral u. S. Action the seizure of oil fields a particular point of division one that could threaten the unity of a group that is held together in the 5 years since it was formed by khanna aljazeera washington. All right lynn jordan is live for us now in washington where those meetings taking place so roslyn it would seem that in the killing of abu. I would beckon in baghdad he was the one is the one bright spot in all of this a lot of areas of contention news those meetings take place well as we heard from mike hanna the real problem is the president s decision to essentially give the green light to turkey to carry out its attack on what turkey has called terrorists which a lot of officials including here in the u. S. Government have said were actually partners of the u. S. And the Global Coalition kurdish fighters and making the Syrian Defense forces or estee out people who were very very skilled in going after members of eisel and of helping to eradicate the caliphate in both iraq and in syria this is raised a lot of concern particularly among the u. S. European allies as well as among human Rights Groups who have said that essentially the white house made it possible for the turkish government to go after not just those fighters they believe who might be working in tandem with the p k k which is of course an outlaw terrorist group inside turkey but to also go after civilians as well and they say that this is a situation that is not just become complicated but is morally suspect as well.
