That we have been back on this operation to eliminate the terrorist organizations want p. G. And p. K. K. That carry out attacks against turkey. With a regime and a friend or not what is important if it comes as why its doing so. If the regime comes in to defend the y. P. G. Then nothing and nobody can stop outscored the turkish soldiers is it just to custody issues from south of the. Syrias war just got more chaotic as alliances shift the country save media says that pro Regime Forces are going to help Kurdish Militia expel turkish troops from the border region of afrin that turkey invaded last month the move pushes turkey a nato ally and syria one step closer to direct conflict possibly even war and so far neither side is backing down turkeys foreign minister responding to the news by saying that if the Syrian Regime moved to protect the kurds the turkish offensive would continue we will hear directly from the former leader of the syrian kurds in just a moment but first this report on the fighting in the territory that his party currently governs. An entire town in mourning this is become a familiar sight in a free in recent weeks with residents regularly attending mass funerals for kurdish fighters killed in clashes with turkish troops. Its against this backdrop that syrian state t. V. Reported on the move to change the dynamic of the fighting the news anchor of this bulletin announcing that militias allied to the Syrian Government would soon arrive in a free in to help could his forces push back the turkish offensive. But meanwhile in government held aleppo just south of a free syrian kurds have been demonstrating against the turkish offensive and in support of why peachey falling to his many of whom can be seen in the city. No no the syrian army and we are one of the Syrian People and we are one we are all one and we have one will. Visit to jordan the Turkish Foreign minister said a deal wouldnt affect his countrys resolve. To my kitchen or to my solemn duty if the Syrian Regime really does enter affray into clans Kurdish Militia then theres no problem however if it comes in to protect them then nothing and nobody can deter and stop the turkish army its very clear Operation Olive Branch and affray names to cleanse these areas from terrorists. Terrorists that it would tell your. Turkey is keen to avoid a kurdish stronghold on its southern border with syria so its own forces launched a Major Military offensive into a frame last month in a bid to expel the kurdish fighters that control the region the offensive has further complicated an already but will during web of alliances and rivalries in syria. And joining me now here in the studio is the former coleader of the Syrian Kurdish party the p. Y. De salvo muslim thank you so much for joining us this evening from thank you very much do you have a deal on military cooperation and offering with the Syrian Government no there is no deal yet but there is and maybe with some mediation by the russians and others still they have reached the idea of b. And they are just waiting for the announcement by them if they have done. Anything well it seems as if story and state media at least has announced a deal why do you think that they have gone ahead with that announcement if theres not currently a deal and say well its its rumors on the thats true there is Nothing Happened that may say that forces are moving forces i want me towards history well even though i have a saying force is it which forces that we just believe in the syrian army and the Syrian Military military is service about not the. Procedure and iranians or is one of the others not to overcome go areas so. A deal though however is progressing and you seem to be optimistic that there will indeed be a deal in the end what has been discussed have there been preconditions of the assad regime and what have might those preconditions have been what do they want from you well no actually there is no deal the politics of the violence mainly is the military was there because now we have priorities as you know the. Government is for who are piling up part of syria which is an issue of the north of syria and they are trying to recoup. You know also and the policies to make demographic changes and so the priority is to protect the civilians you know syria and this is the governments duty to do it now it is their mission and of course from the beginning i mean from the beginning of the Syrian Revolution we stated all the time well part of syria we have to protect that the syrian territory. I mean im not looking for any separation or any different ways all we are trying to do to get the Democratic Syria for all the components including the Kurdish People and others and mainly they are saying Kurdish Forces is actually is not Kurdish ForcesDemocratic Syria imports which include the kurds out of all the components over there in the north of syria and now even the forces are fighting in off limits to all the components of sharing and it is not only the clippers so everybody is sharing to protect their homes their lands and their villages so this is the case and the priority is to protect this territory of syria so you see it on the military level but of course we know that there isnt such a difference between the political and the military level that the two really go hand in hand at the end of the day ultimately. If the assad regime if the military forces were to step in and aid you know the y. P. Ga and the p y d. The the kurds there in syria arent you concerned alternately about allying yourself with a regime which has spent much of the past seven years massacring its own people yet the last could be poor protection of syrian territories or that but i mean in syria we have to agree to live by syrian territory you mean are free and free men all the other areas also north of syria i mean we were talking about shah behavior for example is a poor point but Turkish Military already there in general seem houses all this area should be protected i mean even the sharma should get out of this areas so we are concerned about this one i mean just protecting growth the syrian territory is the priority now and then we look for the four hundred two thousand and eleven i mean this political regime must this region because could not be there should be a new syria i mean for democracy for everybody and we are part of if offering is syrian territory. The we know of course that the kurds are currently governing that area would it be an option for you that the Syrian Regime would step in and be the administration in that area in exchange what youre some sort of deal should be if you are talking you know that the motor things of course we have a project for the which is the cedar should be disarmed from august because now we are talking about sunnis we are talking about the holidays the doozies the easy days the christians muslims. Are talking about the ups the curse me now two months so have how you can keep all those verses all together should be democratic or otherwise you cannot keep them if you have talking about the unity of the syrian territories should be all of those should be in the Marketing System which we are to decentralize syria it means offering and other places not on the off brother please also they should have a Democratic Administration who used to live together and the people should decide so in this stage when we are talking about the protection of the syria protecting this year it means the priority to defend syrian land not to be accompanied by the other forces you mentioned a democratic system you mentioned the ability for the people to decide who are currently living there you mention people from various different backgrounds from from various different areas we know that you have been fighting against the turks and what you say are authoritarian which are not democratic according to your own definition but doesnt your government also have authoritarian tendencies as well because i mean we have reports for example of forced recruitment force can see conscription and restrictions on press freedom just to name a few demeaning the crude sheria saurav in the north of syria you know this month or through to you because we have. Everybody is sherry and we have elections before the maybe communes and there were local elections and we were just going to make the elections for all the area also so its democracy where. Everybody is sharing and so its democratic system even for gender equality for example is not available in syria and other areas what we are trying to build is really democratic system and i think it could be an example for all of syria and it is the first time in the middle east i mean what we are trying to establish over there institutions the most with the constructions there grassroots democracy where everybody is sharing in it true this is the system you have trying to establish and that that democratic system you actually have a name for it on which is when i mention it for our viewers its called democratic can federalism or a democratic south and ministration astronomy its one that you talk about a lot but you know through that point. We have reports that your party p. Y. T. Does not allow other Political Parties to operate in the areas that you control i just want to bring in this quote from Human Rights Watch and bang that you are to respond to it because this is part of Human Rights Watch is world report twenty eighteen this is what they said about your party they said the Security Forces in t y d controlled areas conducted a series of raids to close opposing Political Parties offices and detained and harassed members of the political opposition and activists most were detained without any charges brought against them why do you not allow other Political Party doesnt it doesnt sound like democratic countries are honest its not true we have a low for parties to establish parties and very is now at this moment about twenty two parties all over the permission and if in the area different parties but those. Some parties roky to do in turkey mainly specially their heads and trying to do without permission they are trying to. Do i think of it to be active without any permission because they dont want to recognize the system over there so this is different we dont have parties i mean we have a lot of concerts is very is is very democratic is needed only one hundred members to say to get the permission for political work thats all and ultimately we have twenty two parties and everybody is allowed to go and see them hes not pure joy the im employed is one of those parties and we we were the first party who applied to get them permission who work in Political Activities lets just ask you turkey says that the why p. G. And that the id that these are terrorist organizations. They say that they are no different from the p. K. K. Which we know that many governments around the world have classified as a terrorist organization the links are strong arent they know its not true but i know war where you yourself though once with the p k k no i was with them civilian engineer in so there. Was an injury and engineering what is it that then nothing to do with it why is it then that for example the Atlantic Council they say that the y. P. G. s Casualty Data confirms that kurds from turkey total nearly half of the y. T. G. s self reported casualties between two thousand and thirteen and twenty six to the implication there that those are coming from the picnic a no no no we have actually i mean we have some numbers there were syrian kurds or syria they were among the people and then when the syrian conflict started that example to defend their families and their syrian their curves for them not the people here anymore and we have i mean many people. Because you know some pity for mr donahue was in syria for twenty years and hes a pro pollution not only in syria all of part of kurdistan so this is Something Different and to have all going to relations with that because it is different do we dont see people as a terrorist organization but what to say is trying i mean is that they just the. I mean the account everybody who looking for the democratic friends for the Kurdish People as a terrorist and their want to connect them with a figure which is not true i would just like to look forward for a minute before we go because you know everyone recognizes the very Important Role that the kurds in syria played in fighting the socalled Islamic State supported by the United States we have to mention this right this turkey says that it is going to push the y. Peachey out of man bitch and then all the way back to the iraqi border that is threatening the system that you have in place right now that is threatening the territory that you are currently governing are you sure that your American Allies are going to continue to support you well the question is not that trick is just dreaming to do it because we have defeated. I mean which was instrument of turkey. To be. Implemented their plans their dreams because they are still thinking of humility and we defeat that i mean as the Kurdish People why puji envoy p. J. They have defeated the truth is true months and we are depending on ourselves and our people and our organization and they want anybody we dont want anybody to to fight instead of us if we are have a new coordination or or even with the International Alliance against the still valid and doing the drop a perfect doing i mean human. Davis or and others and this that its enough it is kind of support for the irish because the actual meaning being defeated in the reserve so is a kind of relief i mean to open another front with the Kurdish People and many fighters there were fighting in their resume out there withdrawn too often to defend their families over there so its kind of support of them to feel supported. Depending on the International Alliance yes we have a member of the armed forces we have some kind of over agreements with them and when im done she is not going to finish tuesday and there was many statements by the american. I mean responsible people that are saying theyre not going to withdraw from members from the areas so it means its not easy not easy for that if you that its that theyre not able is it to go to the border or to any of their life theyre just dreaming do you think they want to thank you so much for joining us this evening to talk a little bit about the shifting situation there in syria we very much appreciate it former coleader of the Syrian Kurdish party the p. Y. T. Salah muslim thank you very much and. All the u. S. Special councils decision on friday to indict thirteen russian suspected of meddling in americas president ial election has thrown International Attention back on to kremlin backed internet propaganda d. W. Has been speaking to a former Internet Troll who worked at the Internet Research agency in St Petersburg but u. S. Investigators say is a fake news factory she told the moscow correspondent yuri was shadow that those thirteen arrest barely scratched the surface of what she describes as a mass operation. Russia apparently behind the fake news operation aimed to disrupting the twenty sixteen race for the white house. Two years ago this Young Journalist was working alongside the socalled Internet Trolls and the Russian Agency for Internet Research in St Petersburg the facial name of the troll factory whose bosses have now been indicted by the United States. And they have. Employees at the troll factory get a list of topics every day that they have to work through bad news about the United States was always one of the more important topics. That it was getting. Two years ago tortured rather tried to make contact with those working inside the building to no avail the revelations by lifted the lid on the troll factory on saturday streets in russias second city. Curtains on the windows no sign at the entrance into that unsuspicious looking building here inside a pit as work so called Internet Trolls supposed to have dramatically meddled in the us election american investigators say. This video from inside means the only troll factory in russia. Just as we saw it last night and today that no one can exactly say how far these trolls have really influenced the u. S. Elections and individual voters. But its absolutely clear that there was a meddling going on. And as. Its enough for just one person to put out false information in return for payment that clearly constitutes an attempt to tamper with. The handful of russians indicted in the us doesnt even begin to address the scale of the measuring. In thats its yours there werent just thirteen there werent even just one hundred thirty of them there were many more that there was and still is an enormous operation going on its a ticket that i suggest that those biscay and the thirteen whove been accused are just the ones the americans have got hard evidence against i hope the investigations will continue. With them there are simply so many people who are working professionally for the russian Propaganda Machine i hope that others will soon be investigated that would suddenly shown. Until that happens face indictments appears to reveal just a teacher of the icepack of russias fake news. Well the Berlin InternationalFilm Festival is underway right now and my colleague scott roxboro and charlie bell are among the lucky who get to see all of the films down there so guys. Its about half time there at the berlin nala what are your favorite so far. Yeah well for me i mean its funny because its the absolute first film i saw i love dogs which open the festival Wes Andersons movie stop Motion Animation film and its just a delight i mean its its quirky its fun theres a really weird sensibility what you expect from wes anderson i loved it from beginning to end i was why i get my tail to go home and i think. And of all the films ive seen since none of them talked this was this is my absolute favorite film so far without i was really looking forward to this was im this is the only one of my favorite directed in five days ways and isnt found out that he will not let you down. But i actually have my money on another film for the gold and best so far this and that is a most sensitive moment even film it could feel the anea its an italian film very Strong Female cause to female action a little girl as well and if they see me tells a very complex story of motherhood and also what it means to be a woman as a female director and i think if this means to climb them then i really think that this could be a womans year that definitely definitely interesting stuff yeah everyone was wondering what pearl and olive would do with regard to that need to movement but in the meantime i want to ask you guys about an unusual press Conference Today for a movie that was screened right and i understand that you were there. You know the film is called you toilet screen today its a very haunting and harrowing film its the story of the norwegian massacre of true remember two thousand and eleven terrorist attack in norway where seventy seven people were killed and this film is sort of a rican. Struction of the event in real time very powerful at the press conference this morning there were some of the survivors of the massacre and thats right the release of. The director of this film was part of the script and they were at the shoot so they really shared their stories of trying to turn shake the picture of what happened that they were given a huge round of applause from the press and in that press conference i think for those of us who watched the film and it would draw with those with that moment on this story i think we especially need to then see and to see that hair and in person is very moving very very quickly but there has actually been a lot of criticism about this has to be said people worried that it was it was too soon as any seven years since the attack there was also considered concern that it would glamorize the attack another right the direct address that full on in the press conference he was saying it feels like its the right time its already today for this film if it feels like its not painful that its the wrong time to this he also said that its part of the. Political environment at the moment lets take a listen to what he has to say. You see right wing. Extremism coming up in the new europe i mean the new york. Bach so we need to remind people of what took place and what didnt happen again so for me some other of sort of bracing into our collective memory about this happened not long ago and it might happen again if we dont stand up and protect our society. So such an important topic that was explored today just briefly guys just thirty seconds left in the show whats coming up tomorrow. You have a lot of. Film so far to morrow its going to be all about the stars oh its a exciting weve got Joaquin Phoenix on the right off its mark but that was like jonah hill and one of my favorites.
