A statement has said that the operation has begun saying soldiers have crossed across the Syrian Border into these. By the Syrian Kurdish militia this follows. By turkish jets and turkish pounding. Bases. Possibly the Turkish Military expediting this operation into previous operations in the past couple of years of the air strikes last a full days even one case a couple of weeks this to. Me a few. These operations ground operations this could be closely in reaction to the growing backlash in washington you just heard u. S. President trump again threatening to destroy turkeys economy if he if they go too far again so there is a realization. Now with the Ground Forces on the ground this spring tempo in the operation and without the risk of more civilian casualties what do we know of the situation on the ground in Northern Syria. Well its very difficult to get really confirm reports but what were hearing from the syrian cut issue militia theyre describing scenes of. Mass panic following the bombing of one of the towns. Many Syrian People living in these towns streaming out of them heading away from the fighting in a way they will be going to humanitarian groups have voiced concerns that these people who go into places where its very difficult to deliver aid there is fear that it could be another refugee crisis looming we see pictures of plumes of smoke rising up from these towns that have been a heavy sustained the tillery and strikes with reports of civilian buildings have been among those buildings have been targeted insists that this operation is only against the Syrian Kurdish militia who they consider as terrorists and say that these the safety of civilians is a priority for this operation and the the goal here is to. One called safe zones along the border with syria but for them to be safe. Of the turkish president means that there can be no more kurds living there so were talking about getting rid of the kurds were talking about demographic engineering in Northern Syria are we not. Well thats certainly is the fear among many about this operation although turkish president ial spokespeople have insisted that this operation isnt again sickos its only against what they say is this terrorist organization they say that the priority and safety of civilians is the up most in their minds but the fact that the turkish president is talking about sending between one and 2000000 refugees currently living in turkey to this region most of them are believed not to lived in this area and many are believed to be mainly sunni arabs in this area is predominantly kurdish is fueling fears that turkey is in party on a major demographic change of this area this is attacked is being used to centuries in this area where by trying to dilute one group as consider the threat by to another and that is the fear that turkey is embarking on a major dilution of this area turning it from a put on the kurdish area to the sunni arab region that is aligned closely with turkey and this is against International Law and this is certainly a growing concern among International Aid groups and many foreign governments as well. Jones with the latest tonight from istanbul dorian as always thank you earlier i spoke with. Hes the spokesman for the us the Kurdish Forces in syria and i asked him what he and his people are experiencing now. Well there is little slow. Chaos and i think there is not fear specially in the areas that have been. Tried and shared by the turkish army during the last few hours we have several casualties several kid and others wounded mostly from the civilian population and. I think that created a lot of fear among the people about the gain in other areas little bit far from the border. The life continues as it was and there are a lot of people who are trying to support those in the border cities and towns and everyone is trying to work everything together in order to pass this period of time of peace. That we are facing now. Tell me if you cant you know these airstrikes that are coming from turkey what are they targeting i mean what is being hit. We really dont know what what they are trying to target but mostly they are targeting civilian populated. Mostly neighborhoods in the cities of the towns where the border. Is that is why. The casualties are from the civilian people so we dont know what they are what they want. Shelling to get within the site each city what is going to be in for for them so we are still more interested to ation and we are. Or so far we havent not responded against those attacks made by turkey and we are waiting for what is going to happen in the next few hours and that was kenya gabrieles spokesman with the s. D. F. The Kurdish Forces in syria here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world in the United States jimmy. President ial contender joe biden has called for the impeachment of donald trump for the 1st time during a Campaign Speech he said that the republican president has violated his oath of office betrayed the nation and committed impeachable us in ecuador protesters have clashed with riot police at antigovernment rallies in the capital quito ecuador have seen 6 days of nationwide protests following cuts to fuel subsidies and other all steer were the measures the government has decreed a state of emergency nearly 700 people have been arrested. It is not enough that is how climate activists are describing the German Governments draft for a controversial new climate protection lol the movement Extinction Rebellion has been holding a series of protests here in the german capital this week to make the point. A wave of plastic symbolizing the waste in our oceans climate activists from the Extinction Rebellion movement say drastic measures are needed to fight environmental pollution and global warming. Immense and at the moment were still in the privileged position here its often not noticing the effect so much other countries are far more affected we have to act something has to happen on a political level the citizens have to be taken so that there can be a stop to this. Doesnt stop them con. While climate activists were taking to the streets the German Government introduced a whole package of measures its the 1st time germanys climate goals could become legally binding. Starting in 2021 a ton of c o 2 will cost 10. 00 euros. Greenhouse gases should be reduced by 55 percent by 2030. The German Government had already made a decision to phase out coal by 2038. Complete miscount promises i want something when we manage to bring together different interests these compromises will be sustainable and they will restore peace in we got societal conflicts all the phaeton. Compromises are not what these climate activists were hoping for. A c o 2 tax is not enough to deal with an issue like Climate Change thats a global topic and calls for drastic measures but the government delivered in a weekend version enrages me to put it mildly. The German Parliament still has to vote on the new climate bill these activists say theyll continue protesting to keep the pressure up.
