Im headed home for a glad you could join me german chancellor Angela Merkel has told turkey to and mediately halt its offensive in Northern Syria merkel made a demand in a phone call with turkish president type at a one on sunday thats according to a German Government spokesperson now it comes a day after germany announced it would stop arms exports to turkey but the fighting rages on in this driving thousands of people from their homes. Safe at last sheltering in a School Classroom in a hostile fire when the 1st bomb was found see her. Is mile took her 2 children and fled their border town home leaving all their possessions behind the pregnant mother has no idea what the future holds. Why doesnt anyone help us our children will suffer and what it was supposed to do where are we supposed to go help us if just for the children its a small block and oh. More than 200 people are sheltering in the school about 5 to a classroom food and water are scarce medical supplies to you and yet conditions here are better than for their friends and relatives still in. Videos purported to originate that show a desperate situation. All of us of since yesterday have been bombing without interruption entering houses laying mines detonating them destroying everything stealing everything credible we will be. Tens of thousands of people are fleeing towns on the Turkish Border to our interior its just 75 kilometers from the castle i mean but its safe from air raids at least so far. This small town is struggling to cope with the influx. But when all the schools are full already. We dont have the infrastructure to provide for so many people. Options are very limited. Because hospital is treating wounded fighters from the front terrorists if you believe the one son is one of them his mother hasnt left his son made. The kurds not terrorists we havent done anything to anyone we havent attacked people. In every day they demonstrate on our streets for their homeland their fighters and against what they regard as occupying forces. And joining me now from istanbul is the correspondent dorian jones dorian german chancellor Angela Merkel has told turkey to immediately halt its offensive in Northern Syria have we heard any reaction from the turkish side. No theres been no reaction as of yet but it is expected to make what is a listen to these latest call in fact earlier in the day speaking mocked european leaders calls for an end to this operation underline the turkeys commitment that they are going to pursue this operation until all their object is or have been achieved and the present heard one does appear to be indicating a further expansion in the initial objectives of creating a 30 kilometer safe zone it now talk of expanding the operations far further than that im speaking to a source head of the operation he said the Turkish Military persians could be as far as 100 kilometers deep into syria possibly the Taliban Health sako where the many of the reminded of refugees are fleeing to possibly took shoppers could extend as far as that turkey really sees this is an opportunity of securing its border in its mind once and for all and even possibly staking a claim in the future of syria given the fact that the situation is rapidly deteriorating the Turkish Military to see an opportunity here and it appears president wanted to turn in to grasp the opportunity in spite of calls from european leaders to end the operation well despite an apparent ramping up of the operation before that phone call germany and other countries also announced an end to weapons exports to turkey heres how president edouard responded today take a listen. Despite the fact that weve been saying this for months. There are those who are threatened with economic sanctions and embargos. Those who think they will turn turkey away from its path have been mistaken and are mistaken. Now we should say that the netherlands france norway and others have also announced an entity weapons exports and yet all of those countries including turkey all nato allies so where does that leave added one does he have any allies right now. Well speaking to turkish officials ahead of this operation they says soon on the question of its what they say is their fight against terrorism turkey hasnt had any alos allies in nato from many many years months if not years they say that they are fighting this war against terrorism on its own much to its anger and its always been a big source of tension between turkey and its nato allies so the fact that these countries now are threatening arms embargoes will not come as a surprise to uncrate says youre never with us before so why should we care if youre not with us now and given the fact that turkey has a very developed into fence industry these threats of an arms embargo will have very little effect at least initially on the ongoing operation where turkey does he has an ally is in the u. S. President donald trump but now donald trump does appear to be standing by turkey not enforcing sanctions that are being demanded by all of us within washington so for now the most important person in her cares about internationally is President Trump now another facet to this whole situation of course is the fact that kurdish officials now say that more than 700 Islamic State supporters of escape from account in syria as kurdish guards left to fight what more can you tell us about that daria. Well we understand several 100 posse as many as 700 people have escaped from this prison was under so that they rose up when they realized the fighting was very close to where their prison was these people. Are freedom the kurds have been their enemy with the Kurdish Militia brought them to their knees and ended up in prison now they are facing being destroyed by this military offensive these people have a chance of freedom and they least in this one prison the fact that there are estimated to be around 12000 jobs is held by the syrian Kurdish Militia along with tens of thousands of sympathizers and family members all across this war so it will be a major concern of all of turkeys western partners and the big fear is that this will be a door to the resurgence of Islamic State and that is the big concern was so much pressure. President trump said its on course responsibility to deal with this situation but the fact this is a war zone is no realistic possibility of a handover between the 2 sides are the prospects of more of these scaping can only be seen as more likely.
