Watching the news live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes. On the move into syria in a new operation to enforce a truce in province. Kurdish forces on high alert in Northern Iraq over what they say are possible threats from iraqi forces in kirkuk. More trouble ahead for jacob zuma south africas top court topples a ruling to reinstate corruption charges against the president. Also this. Mothers agony and pain after watching me in Marseille Jews massacre her family. The turkish army says its begun setting up observation posts in syrias province turkey has deployed its troops as part of a deescalation deal with iran and russia it was announced that the soldiers would be advancing south to central italy to fight the armed group to sharm the several reports suggest they are actually moving east towards the town of shake at this puts them in close proximity to the areas controlled by Kurdish Forces in the north of the region. Is that the jewel of the goes to Border Crossing on the turkey syria border for us hashem what are they trying to achieve here. Peter hundred turkish soldiers who are now in syria are hoping to establish those surveillance supposed to be able to monitor the womens between the different factions operating in the Syrian Government and the russias but now we dont know what will happen to the. Russia and the many countries consider a terrorist organization to have said that we wont hand over these weapons and we continue the fight to the now we know we do understand that the Turkish Military now is stationed in mind which is a village all the border with thats very close to a territory controlled by Syrian Kurdish factions particularly the wipe e. G. It could be a sign that the Turkish Military artemis goal here is to try to prevent the y. P. G. From expanding further to was northwest some provinces like and. But is this proposed deescalation is around to the south this surely means the deescalation zones not going to get off the ground on shared jewel when they wanted it. Exactly for four Different Reasons head to head in a sham is very powerful he has many. Very well trained fighters across the province of idlib now in theory all the countries that have agreed on the cease fire agreement russia and iran insist that they had to have. Either pull out from. Their weapons we dont think this is going to be the case and we have to wait and see what the turkish media is going to deal with. Are they going to engage militarily with a with the near future or work out a settlement where they can. Free passes this is this is the big question about this whole operation what we know so far is that the Turkish Military is definitely now taken position in areas. Opposite territory controlled by the white b. G. So the white b. G. Could be now the top priority for the Turkish Military not this ceasefire agreement and it many thanks lets get more on that story for you holdren yelchin chi is a military specialist and professor at the Top University of economics and technology joins us from anchorage. For everyone except the turks this seems to have a one stream approach the turks it would appear to have a two stream approach can they pull this off. The. Problem. Because actually the characteristic of the military operation was already a big problem for turkey and it was a big military operation because it is not to call for the Peace Process there are lots of warring parties in need but after the astana meetings joining to us all parties gave did consent but some third. Changed after the astana meetings now the kurds p. K. Killed it. Might change the situation is often indeed got to the your following news. As you know in. Another time in the region eastham board ofter order part of the iraq so it has correlated to in syria so our concern military concern surely first of all. Extraneous people in it but before that unfortunate changes changes or changes possible changes of policies in the region might cure conflict religion is a big. Youve turned. In it escalation in design that would be a big accomplishment and very important and difficult task i guess surely one way to avoid that escalation youre talking about there is if the turkish authorities talk to. But crucially would. Be prepared to talk to turkey. Yeah i dont know any idea on the issue but to kill it speaking in us tone or give all parties their constant iran turkey and russia board all these three parties have connections to the all parties so this is why did action from last time in meetings all are the nonstate actors also again did constant this is on my direction as an academic so i dont know the specific vendor it is in told or not so its on the process of to process the content was an assisted in i understood deduct from the operation they had already taken their consent but this is deduction is the location of italy as a deescalation zone inherently flawed because if you look at the territorial map of who controls what territory inside syria as of today those fighters have been in effect kettle theyve been corralled to that area in it live so if you get all those fighters in that area why designate that as a deescalation zone the logic seems floor shortly. Yes yeah actually thats true there is a really big fighters i mean dickey big amount of fighters in it live we might really result in big direct to the Turkish Forces but. It was a case for day to go or urge turkeys main concern was all know these extremist peoples but are changing this generation. And the referendum process. Securitas of the kurdish mormons in their. Vest and border off to syria to turkey you name it often so far in turkey we have been discussing the possible. Cure from often to tell you i dont know where that is the answer your christian or i know thats fine thank you so much for joining us hell dont yelchin good to talk to you again. Yeah ok thank you thank you. Kurdish forces in iraq are reportedly mobilizing after accusing baghdad of sending its forces to two areas near kurdish controlled oil fields close to the city of kirkuk the Kurdish Regional Security Council says soldiers have been seen south of the city iraqs government has denied its planning a military attack on the kurdish controlled region of the country tensions have been rising between the two governments since the kurdish the session referendum last month lets go straight to Charles Stratford in erbil in Northern Iraq charlie if theyre not planning something military what are they doing. Its very difficult to say i mean according to the Kurdish Regional government here they are planning a military attack certainly weve been speaking to sources in and around kirkuk theyre telling us that they have indeed seen the Iraqi Military and a shia militia groups moving into positions in the south in the west of kirkuk within around two to three kilometers of peshmerga positions the k r g government saying that thousands of patients have been moved down to kill cook in anticipation of any potential military action down there now the iraqi paid off their joint military command center is saying that this movement of troops does not represent any great Prime Minister hydrilla body has said that he doesnt see any military solution to this to this crisis after this very controversial referendum held last month but he also warned that the pace most of the Kurdish Forces should not interfere with any Iraqi Military operations in that area of course killed cook is hugely important to both sides very oil wealthy and it was part of this referendum that was held that controversial referendum despite kirkuk being in disputed areas where the kurds say describe the care cook as being their jerusalem in the peshmerga have not to give it up interestingly the last sort of ten or fifteen minutes to pay. Have tweeted all read out what they said the peshmerga must be in the highest state of readiness to defend the people in a land of kurdistan and retaliate against any threats and attacks and we also understand the peshmerga chief of staff saying that top brass top generals are meeting in kirkuk as we speak. So it doesnt matter seemingly what the Iraqi Government to say according to the k r j this represents an escalation around kirkuk charles to get the sense that the Kurdish Forces are kind of having to do this in a little bubble of their own making in a way because there was so much pressure on the region of kurdistan the kurdish region from across the border on one side iran on the other side turkey not to go ahead with the referendum then there was a wholly negative reaction to the result of the referendum. When you speak to kurdish officials here and they feel exactly that they feel completely trapped and they feel very let down by the International Community i mean we spoke to the head of Foreign Relations here at our stuff a couple of days ago and i had to not put it you know to be blunt about it he was angry he said look at the amount of work that weve done in the battle against eisele he says that the k r g the last one thousand seven hundred. Fighters in that fight he said that theyve been demanding dialogue with baghdad with respect to future independence since two thousand and five since they signed up for the constitution they feel very let down and they do feel increasingly pressured as you say by surrounding countries those joint military operations between the turks and the Iraqi Military in turkey a similar scenario in exactly the same scenario across the border in iraq that statement yesterday from president russet type Spokes Person saying that turkey intended eventually to take control of that northern border in coordination with baghdad and teheran so you begin to understand the kind of pressures and the kind of fears that the Kurdish Regional government here has at the moment charles thank you. Plenty more news still to come for you here on the news hour including these stories we will continue to work toward to our shared goal of a win win win agreement to ensure that the canadian Prime Minister meets his mexican counterpart with an uncertain future for their Free Trade Agreement with the u. S. Find out why african filmmakers a dominating at the london Film Festival. And test cricket is set for some big changes details with our in the sports news in about thirty minutes. The u. S. President on the trump is expected to finally announce whether hell up whole the Iran Nuclear Deal later on friday under the landmark accord sanctions against iran what he used in exchange for curbs on its Nuclear Program but President Trump has criticized often the deal and has threatened to scrap it in a moment ill be joined by diplomatic out of the james bays but first mike hanna wraps up with guns from the u. N. In new york. Repudiation of the iran deal was a central promise of the Trump Electoral Campaign and im disgusted ive never seen anything like it in my life and by the way be careful because we made a rare and a real power gave one hundred and fifty dollars. Now think of it thank you the crowd booed almost certainly unaware that wasnt the case the sum of money released in terms of the deal was in fact irans own funds that had been frozen by previous sanctions we didnt get anything we got nothing during his first months in office President Trump had to acknowledge the fact that iran was complying with its side of the deal formally certifying so on two occasions but the Us Ambassador to the United Nations has apparently been at the forefront of finding a way in which the president could fulfill his Campaign Promise coming up with the argument that iranian compliance was not the only thing that need be certified we owe it to ourselves to look at every aspect of this deal and understand that this was a flawed deal and understand that this flawed deal has negative consequences as well this argument that other factors such as u. S. National interest should be taken into account rejected by other signatories to the deal the new agreement is about Nuclear Nuclear is fulfilled the agreement is the living. Made clear to the fact that the u. S. Cannot take unilateral action without Security Council consensus the deal being signed by the five permanent members along with germany known as the p five plus one how many you cannot join with me iran has. All members of the p five plus one stand in line with iran except that one russia china three European Countries the holy you and hundreds of countries they are all standing with iran. Perhaps the real interest of President Trump is not the deal itself but the perceived political and personal need to meet one of his Campaign Promises if so president tran could pay a long term cost for the short term satisfaction of his right wing support base not least the dilution of trust in u. S. Commitment to International Agreements the fracturing of relationships with traditional allies and the possible if not probable repudiation of a Security Council Whose Authority would be disdainfully flattered by a thumping member. Mike hanna aljazeera at the United Nations ok our diplomatic editor james bays following that story for us here out of the heart today james what are we expecting mr trump to do just over six hours from now were going to have a speech in the white house what theyve already done is release this fact sheet which says its their new strategy on iran this basically tells us why theyre unhappy with iran and the fact that they say iran is destabilizing influence must be stopped particularly its support for terrorism and militants what they going to do we believe is decertify the Iran Nuclear Deal now i should probably explain that let me take you back to july twenty fifteen in vienna thats when the International Community six world powers including the us signed the deal with iran they signed a deal called the joint comprehensive plan of action it wasnt a treaty they didnt use the name treaty because under the u. S. Constitution if you have a treaty it needs to be ratified by congress and president obama knew was going to have problems getting this ratified by a Republican Congress congress was unhappy that it didnt get its say so it put an actor congressional act in place saying were not happy with this deal we want to monitor it we want you every ninety days to certify its in americas interest President Trump has done that every time every ninety days of his presidency he said yes its in americas interest now it looks like for the first time hes going to say no this deal is not in americas interest that then means under this act that congress has sixty days now to decide whether to put the sanctions back in place that are related to Irans Nuclear deal and that effectively would pull of america out of the deal or be violating the deal for this is ministration in washington what is the central knob of the problem here because its not only according to many people a good deal its the only deal well the problem is they describe it in this fact sheet the myopic focus they say joe. On the Nuclear Program of president obama they say if you look at the Technical Details of the deal then iran is complying with the deal and everyone has said that the secretary of state secretary of defense President Trumps point is that iran is doing all sorts of bad other things in the region its involvement in yemen they say its involvement in syria theyre also very unhappy that that irans Missile Program ballistic Missile Program is not covered under this deal so theyre asking congress to look at all those things i think its worth noting that those around President Trump didnt really want to take this course of action and will probably be Encouraging Congress not to reimpose the sanctions on the Nuclear Program they all were in favor of decertifying President Trump last time he had to sign the certification said im not doing this again ive had enough so theyve tried to come up with a strategy that keeps President Trump happy and in the end keeps the deal in place interesting you
