Meanwhile turkeys president recha top birder one has told his parliament that his forces would soon capture syrians Northern Region of africa in syria and progovernment militia are reported to be heading there where turkey is involved in a military operation against kurdish fighters ankara has said that it will confront the Syrian Forces if they help the kurdish y p g which it considers to be a terrorist group. So at the same time it takes to make certain perp reagent in the field the seeding of the effort city will start rapidly in the coming days. Lived out to go on the turkey syria border or near the border i was there as a summer binge of it is there so were turkeys president says that turkey has halted the deployment of Syrian Forces to the african region whats the latest youre hearing us on. Absolutely adrian this is what they have and the gun has been telling reporters after this meeting with his cabinet ministers hes been saying that it was after his phone conversations of it with the iranian president and the russian president that this advance by the Syrian Government was stopped and he saying that this advance is no longer in place and all that we heard in the last forty eight hours was by the by p. Z. The kurdish fighters who are now who are now stranded in this enclave off are free and city have been saying that they were going to get help from the Syrian Government according to the turkish government that is no longer going to come out of the ground has also said that it will happen in a matter of days that his forces. Besieged this area so all this prospect of syrian aid coming in is going to be just a prospect but it is easier said than done military sources on the ground have been telling us about how difficult this terrain is and how cautious the Turkish Forces have been in advance towards the city of a free and its a mountainous region and the fighters who are the kurdish fighters often by p. D. Know this area well but having said that the Free Syrian Army out of fighters which are backed by turkey have been claiming that they have continued to get make gains in villages around the city of offering they now control almost ninety points around the city of a free man they say they are close to this position where they will be able to sit around the city completely until all of the supplies coming in all fighters and weapons into this if you are free and so then they will have no other choice but to surrender to the turkish government but the white b. G. On its its nonsense that it will not surrender and its forces will continue to fight so twenty four hours ago we were reporting that these syrian allied militia just hours away from the african region where are they whats happened to them. When these if you look at the. The geography of this area this area is divided between of various factions in syria some of its controlled by the by p. G. That is the Kurdish Militia some of it is controlled by out of fighters called the Free Syrian Army while some areas are under the control of the Syrian Government and the Syrian Government made it clear that it is not going to be its regular forces who are going to go in it is going to deploy its fighters in the area in the surrounding areas in aleppo countryside in hama and push them through words the area some sources on the ground told us that there was at least one bought off fighters belonging to the y. P. The Kurdish Militia who went from the city of aleppo to our free so it is like everything in syria is divided into areas which are into pockets which are under control by a number of groups so it is not going to be simple for any one site to control it but for now the turks seem adamant that their advance is successful and we havent heard from the Syrian Government after these comments by the tickets president that whether this advantage has been halted postponed or they are not going to going at all some of many things. In just a few hours the palestinian president is expected to address the United Nations and seek a new International Alliance to mediate peace with israel it marks a step away from a longstanding policy of accepting the u. S. As the main intermediary it follows president Donald Trumps recognition of jerusalem as israels capital lets go live now to a serious bone at smith whos in ramallah in the occupied west bank so why is about going to the u. N. Well aging out is really twenty five years that the palestinians have accepted the u. S. As the main intermediary the main mediator in talks between the palestinians and the israelis and that recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel by donald trump really ended that as far as the palestinians are concerned but they need they want to carry on with mediation they want a solution they want a palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital so this speech is the first excuse me since Donald Trumps announcement we part of this diplomatic push for the palestinian is proper listening in president is making to try and create some sort of new form perhaps under u. N. Auspices the catch to wall of this though is persuading the israelis to take part in whatever new form the might be because of the moment israelis are more than happy with the americans. 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 that is is whats going on in the world including what israel now practices israel is seeking very much better relations with the russians was the chinese was the indians 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 it. 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 the 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 angle with Donald Trumps recognition of jerusalem as israels capital came with criticism of the palestinian leadership for 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 land time is not on the palestinian side but its with aljazeera in the occupied west bank. Here are the news out from out zero still to come on the program crowds gather in zimbabwe to bid a final farewell to form Opposition Leader morgan china plus. Im wayne hay with a rare look at the second day being constructed on the lower mekong river as laos pushes ahead with its goal of becoming the battery of Southeast Asia. And in sport well hear from the football manager who says his team need to get ready to suffer in the European Champions League. Oxfam says that its investigating twenty six new cases of sexual abuse by stuff the new details came out as bosses were questioned in the u. K. s parliament about Sexual Misconduct in haiti in two thousand and eleven charities already apologized to haitis government but the british politicians want more answers some of oxfam staff are accused of using prostitutes during an aid mission in haiti following an earthquake. I repeat oxfams brooder apology and my personal apology i am sorry we are sorry for the damage that oxfam has done both to the people of haiti but also to wider efforts for aid and development by possibly undermining public support so i wholeheartedly apologize for those comments and commit to work in that Greater Public interest so they can make a powerful role role in the work that we all believe in life not a london aljazeera spot to be for that says that bob youve been listening to all of this what else has Bach Goldring had to say. Well he came under a real grilling his defense adrian in fairness was that he joined oxfam in twenty thirteen when he did he was told about the investigation that had taken place around events in haiti two years earlier in twenty eleven and he was given every assurance that the matter had been dealt with appropriately and was now closed despite that the m. P. s in that Development Committee really were putting him under fire they want to know in particular why oxfam had not reported the perpetrators to the police in haiti at the time and you can you could sense that he was in a very awkward position he wasnt the only one who is coming under fire as well there was a panel of senior oxfam membership including a woman we need down huma shes the executive director of oxfam she originally came from uganda she came to United Kingdom as a refugee and this is what she said. These are loaned me to begin by seeing how slowly our young of on twenty something a machine ive spent my life trying to stand up for womens rights and to fight for People Living in poverty this is painful for me so probably what happens next what are the wider consequences for both oxfam and the Aid Community in general. Well i mean not oxfam are facing enormous crisis Mark Goldring admitted during the evidence that seven thousand people in the United Kingdom individual donors the general public if you like had cut off their subscriptions to that charity over the past two weeks and of course theres no government money coming for the time being but this is an issue that is bigger than oxfam in the last half hour weve been listening to Kevin Watkins hes the c. E. O. Of save the children another big British Charity and certainly theres no complacency in other charities at all hes saying that this isnt just a matter of a few bad apples it is a systemic problem but he also reiterated the belief that a lot of people have in the aid sector in this country that attacks on aid at the moment perhaps can be opportunistic those who are saying britain gives too much a point seven percent of Gross National income for Gross National income that needs to be reduced hes trying to break that link between that line of attack and the very real moral and ethical crisis which the British Aid Agency for british aid world faces at the moment or about the many thanks probably phillips live in london. Zimbabwes formal Opposition Leader has been laid to rest in his hometown of who. Died of cancer last week politicians
