Hello. A fierce battle is taking place around a syrian town near the border with turkey. Kurdish fighters backed by u. S. Led air strikes are trying to hold back an advance by Islamic State militants near kobane. The town has been besieged for weeks, forcing tens of thousands of kurds to flee the area. While these are the pictures live from the turkishSyrian Border, there is some movement of turkish tanks lined up. Lets speak to the bbc persian service. Just tell us what is the latest picture first of all with control of kobane and where the i. S. Militants are. We can see kobane, looking to kobane right now. In my left, there is pounding. They are pushing back. Just a few minutes ago, i talked to one of the soldiers in tanks, ask whether there is any reas reason to kobane for attacks. He said that right now [ inaudible ] some houses there. No action right now. Okay, thanks very much indeed. Sorry about the quality on that line, it is quite difficult to make out that, but hopefully you
