Well according to the United Nations its senseless humanitarian suffering that needs to come to an end since sunday ive seen a Relentless Campaign on from the air and from the Ground Forces off the bashar Assad Government and their allies on this besieged area this is been the worst death toll that weve seen since the Chemical Attacks in this area by the assad regime in the early days and early years off this conflict have been telling us that it is and has been so intense that now they dont see how they are going to survive in the coming days because what is being targeted is not just the rebel positions but everything is under attack and it seems that this sustained attack is on everything that could sustain life inside busy. Including bakeries including food warehouses and aid workers have been think that this particular campaign is also targeting the Road Networks so it is going to make sure that when people are wounded and there are casualties in areas that aid workers done get to and centers off the White Helmets have also come under attack so it is one of the most intense periods off shelling and when did you seen in this busy on play which is home to nearly four hundred thousand people one hundred fifteen People Killed since sunday the sama more than three hundred wounded over the past twenty four hours with medical facilities having being being hit i mean medical supplies were already in short supply in eastern gusa before this latest onslaught workday. Well one of the doctors who i spoke to a few minutes ago told me that they have no idea how to cope with this because their facilities have been under sustained attack by the Government Forces they were forced underground but now theyre running out of those spaces as well as the intensity of these strikes of the basements have become full and they dont have supplies there are doctors who are treating patients with that severe of wounds who are people who are being im pretty to with just basic pain medication which is running out has been so doctors have been seeing that they have to lead their case to the world they dont know why the world is remaining quiet in this theyve been saying to United Nations and other areas of their agencies that this is a humanitarian suffering these are people in their hundreds of thousands who need medical assistance but the world doesnt seem to care. Somebody thinks did some up in the job with their lives in. Gaziantep im sorry. In Northern Syria a progovernment militia reported to be heading to the african region thats where the Turkish Military has been fighting Kurdish Forces aljazeera Stephanie Decker reports. Syrian state television and now says that forces loyal to president Bashar Al Assad will be deployed to a free in. Turkey launch an operation against the Peoples Protection units or y p g who are in control of the province almost a month ago ankara calls the y. P. G a terrorist organization the United States considers the group its most effective ally in fighting eisel. This new move by damascus in africa could mean its allied militia directly confronts turkish troops turkeys foreign minister was defiant you know. If the regime is interesting the it claims. He whitey and there are no problems however if i come in to defend the y. P. The nothing and nobody can stop us this applies to efren as well as maam and to the east of the Euphrates River the developments hence said behind the scenes negotiations the details of which are unclear if the kurds are going to accept the major conditions of the Syrian Regime well decide on that very heavy weapons. Dance artillery rocket launchers will they be exiting the city because a Syrian Regime is. A Democratic Forces to exit the city and to move to the east of the euphrates the kurdish why p. G. Holds the areas in yellow which include the region of the green areas land controlled by the Syrian Opposition supported by turkey and they are advancing on africa and under the Turkish Operation olive Branch President assads government controls the area to the south and the i. P. G. Is territory to the east of the euphrates is where the u. S. Has military bases and personnel on the ground syrias seven year war seems to have entered a new phase with the foreign powers who have long backed different sides trying to solidify their spheres of influence Stephanie Decker aljazeera. John kass apolo is a defense analyst specializing in Turkish Foreign policy for the center for economic and Foreign Policy studies he joins us now live from berlin these Syrian Government allied militia forces was supposed to be arriving within africa in. Within hours we were told this time yesterday theyre still not there what do you think is going on and what are they going to be doing when they get that. Well i think International Community should focus on the request to know what the Syrian Regime can do instead or what they will do the same as such forces we know they can operate in any part of the country but they cannot operate in all parts of the country simultaneously and now they have their hands full in east ghouta there is a huge concentration of elite forces like the Fourth Mechanized Division like the tiger forces like the air forces Intelligence Special operations units and we also know that assads forces are also very busy in eclipse so what we are seeing now moving into the city of afrin is the militia force this is not a credible war fighting power that can match the Turkish Armed forces contingent in the area but what they can do is they can make the urban warfare phrase or operation. Of the Turkish Operation really hot they can really make it like bleeding for turkey and they can also use air defenses recent that they captured who are air base and we know that according to the open Source Intelligence they deployed further air defenses in the area they recently downed an israeli fighter so they cant deny the airspace to Turkish Air Force which will disrupt of creation to a great extent i think this is more or less the frame of that we are talking about but are a real bargain the real negotiation is between washington and moscow damascus is not the primary player in this equation just what it want to clear something up here you think that these these. Syrian militia these Government Allied militia are there to fight alongside the kurdish y. P. Cheer not to replace them. Thats a very good question because turkey and syria i think the International Community even the strategic turkey forgot about that but turkey and syria in one thousand back in one nine hundred ninety eight signed the other on the agreement which prohibits the Syrian Regime in all forms to support p. K. K. Or its leading organizations. If the syrian militia if the Government Forces if the Bashar Assads forces fight alongside it why p. G. It is a clear while ation of nine hundred ninety eight other than the agreement and this is actually a clear putting a clear red line in. National defense understanding i think the Syrian Regimes intentions here goal is to replace them at least curb any kind all kurdish autonomy intentions it is in the rest of the you freighters away from the u. S. Coverage generally has to achieve any thanks indeed because a poll of the in berlin here with the news out from aljazeera still to come on the program followed by the u. N. Is accusing the world of failing the most vulnerable. This is the street party people are out in force in brazil to protest against the military well tell you why. It was a bad night for Manchester City and their multipronged pursuit of silverware the details coming up later in the sport. The palestinian president wants to set up an International Alliance to mediate with israel thats the message that Mahmoud Abbas will deliver to the United Nations later on tuesday it marks a step away from a longstanding policy of accepting the u. S. As the main intermediary but smith reports from ramallah in the occupied west bank. Donald trumps promise of the deal of the century turned into what the palestinian president called the slap of the century its forced Mahmoud Abbas and his team back to the drawing board. Has been involved in palestinian policy making for decades he now believes the u. S. Is losing its dominant role in the world in a world that is changing i mean the calculation is not only on our wishes its also on our and alan says whats going on in the world including what israel now practices israel is seeking very much better relations with the russians with the chinese was the indians with the with the japanese israel itself knows that the world is changing and it cannot ignore these other important forces abbas has been telling leaders from Europe Russia china and elsewhere that he wants them to have a role in mediation with the israelis while retaining u. S. Involvement for any new form to work though the israelis would have to be willing to take part with trump at his back there seems little incentive for now the Prime MinisterBinyamin Netanyahu to change tack i doubt that can be and the renewal of the Peace Process especially that the alternative sponsorship will be refused by israel we will witness a period of no process no solution whats a period i mean probably the coming one to two years at least a massive fairly Bleak Outlook isnt it thats right but this is less harmful to the palestinians from continuing with a process in which this sponsor of the United States might come up with a proposal. That can be even more harmful than the continuity of the current difficult and political reality that were living. Anger with Donald Trumps recognition of jerusalem as israels capital came with criticism of the palestinian leadership but depending on u. S. Mediation for the last twenty five years its felt the pressure to come up with an alternative we have no other option we dont want to go back to violence we are not abandoning our commitment to the Peace Process and when you do that then you really have to find a new International Alliance a new legal methods and ways and means of really saving our country from being totally overtaken by the Israeli Colonial project as the palestinians cast around for a new mediation the reality on the ground is that illegal settlements are expanding day by day eating up more and more occupied time is not on the palestinian side but its with aljazeera in the occupied west bank and Egyptian Company has agreed to buy fifteen billion dollars worth of israeli natural gas operators of israels tama under fire from offshore fields will supply a private a gyptian firm with around sixty four billion cubic meters of gas over a decade israel hopes the deal will strengthen diplomatic ties the club uses the millions we need to understand it this who put billions into the state treasury to benefit the Education Health and social welfare of israel citizens many people did not believe in the gas outline we lit it knowing that it would strengthen our security economy and regional relations. Nonresident fellow at the tar institute for middle east policy joins us now via skype from cairo timothy good to have you with us a previous deal to send gas the other way from egypt to israel collapsed what are the chances of this deal actually coming to fruition. Well assuming that the proper rules are put in place from the inside its very likely that hell go forward that doesnt mean that on the cups once simple minds of the current infrastructure for movie gas misspelt egypt passes food or cyanide which is an area that i see a lot of disruptions in the past partly the reason why the last had to meet the teams before there was an issue with the lack of dont put. But yeah i mean theres a lot of possibilities of Security Issues with something thats sometimes the pipeline as it goes for this. Change gets. Back to. Eat sometimes when you look at whats in this for egypt why does it feel the need to get its gas from israel when it could get back channel gas from elsewhere in the middle east well i mean you know egypt its currently a time towards substations production with the need so i feel probably not mine that that prospect is. Actually quite realistic that said if and subsequently that start. That will eventually returns even in order the next five or six years yeah lets point out we got a live supply of gas coming from israel to be useful for its businesses. Who have been cut off in the past for the sort its not that the opportunity to be next for her yeah sometimes its hard for ukrainians some simply find gas and that its europe. Is something that its and saw it as a way to become sort of a problem for axel gaston hereditary. Some of the many thanks indeed to the coldest day in cairo. The white house says u. S.
