And turkey is discussing the creation of a buffer zone along turkeys southern border with syria. The counter fighters to counter fighters from the Islamic State of iraq and the levant. Syria fighters known as the ypg the kurdish government denies that claim. Al jazeeras zeina khodr reports from kilis in Southern Turkey on the border with syria. Turkey says it plans to send no troops across the border, instead it says its cooperating with Ground Forces already inside syria. Those troops are not syrias kurds who the coalition has been relying on. But opposition groups who are fighting both i. S. I. L. And the Syrian Government acknowledge turkeys Prime Minister says u. S. Which leads the coalition against i. S. I. L. Has agreed that those opposition groups should be protected. Expectations to a certain level i cannot go into details but for example an important point was the air cover for is Free Syrian Army and other moderate groups fighting against daesh. It is an open secret that turkey is unhappy with the loins between the coalition and the kurdish ypg force. The kurds have expanded their presence. Turkey is worried about this for many reasons. It doesnt want the kurds to create a state and inflame separatist sentiments among its own kurdish population, it also considers the offshoot of the pkk which it has declared war on. It doesnt want the force on the ground to be partners in the coalition. Ypg needs to meet before what the Prime Minister called the new syria. It will need to cut its links with the Syrian Government and cooperation with opposition groups. So far main rebel movements particularly those backed by turkey. Thats not all. The ypg is now accusing turkey of repeatedly attack their units across the border, an allegation turkey denies. The syrian kurds also accuse turkey of declaring war on i. S. I. L. As a coverup to launch war against kurds both in turkey and syria. They are trying use the agreement with the coalition against daesh to target the political parties. And this is something unacceptable because we have to differentiate between the terrorists and the political movements that demand for humanitarian right for some ethnical groups. Turkey decided to militarily engage i. S. I. L. A few days ago but its decision to also target the pkk is causing the most controversy where yet another front line seems to be emerging. Zeina khodr, al jazeera Southern Turkey. More now on the discussions between Southern Turkey, an i. S. I. L. Free zone, will encompass about 100 kilometers on turkeys southern border. Patty culhane has more. The white house calls an i. S. I. L. Free zone would cover roughly 100 kilometer stretch on turkeys border. Once established they say it will be a safe haven for the refugees in turkey, but u. S. Says it will not create a no fly zone and they dont have disagreement on the issue. The opposition to are assad regime either doesnt have the military capacity or some are extremists that the turks would not want in that zone on their border the united states, european allies, other arab countries are too far away nor providing that military presence so it really will come down to the Turkish Military actually guaranteeing that the zone would be free of i. S. I. S. But turkey has also started bombing the pkk in iraq and that came just days after the u. S. Was given permission to use the bases in turkey. I understand the coincidence of all of this but it is just that. The attacks against the pkk were in retaliation for attacks they the turks endured. The pentagon said they could have an agreement in the next few weeks. For now saying they want to create a safe zone but not who will do the fighting to find one. Patty culhane al jazeera washington.

But scientists are creating soft robots. A soft robot is inherently soft, it will bounce off of you. What we would like is to make systems that humans can collaborate with, people can Work Together with a robot and you dont have to have the fear that a robot is going to crush somebody if the robot is soft. Reporter and its the snarl world thats been the source of many of the ideas behind the systems new designs.
