Welcome to the news hour turkey says its forces are ready for military action in Northern Syria its Defense Ministry says preparations are complete but there is continuing criticism of the operation irans foreign Ministry Says the mission will lot and turkey security concerns the u. S. President is facing widespread criticism domestically for pulling troops out of Northern Syria kurdish fighters in the region say donald trump stabbed them in the back. Weve got more from the u. S. Shortly but 1st lets cross over to Charles Stratford in cali in turkeys border with syria and charles a great deal of military movement being reported where you are what seems to be the situation so far. Yes reports certainly of turkish heavy weaponry being moved into position close to where we are now right along this border so we understand the town behind me the town of telling our tale ill be out was taking control of from eisel by the s. D. F. By those kurdish fighters with the help of u. S. Coalition forces in 2000. And 15 and as you say the s. D. F. Of described this decision by president john to withdraw all those troops u. S. Troops from this area as being a stab in the back and there are serious concerns with respect to the global fight against terrorism when you consider that there are thousands of i saw fighters for example in s. D. F. Jails and the s. D. F. Of say that they cannot guarantee that these fighters would they would be able to maintain their detention in the event of any military escalation by the turks. Say theyre doing this because they describe the main fighting force of the s. T. A. If as a Terror Organization with links to the p. K. K. Here and organization that is also described as a Terror Organization by the us it has been fighting an insurgency in turkey for decades so the turks say they have every right to go in and theyve been saying that for a long time for many years now in fact ever since the s. T. A. If took so much control of this border area. If about to retaliate to protect what they describe as their people and their land and of course all this very complicated jigsaw puzzle for our viewers to make out and of course with those comments by President Trump less than 24 hours ago they have run the patients they have domestically in the u. S. They have ramifications where you are on the ground rules expecting International Comment as well what are you hearing. Well i think internationally its safe to say that everybody is concerned about what this could potentially lead to in terms of the security of this region as i say with respect to so many of those detainees that could either escape or without any clear indications so far as to turkeys position as to if indeed it did go in how would the turks deal with those. Prisoners and then of course there are huge fear about the potential humanitarian fall out. Hundreds of thousands of people across this border have suffered years of war already and certainly its some of the sound that were hearing from these towns across the border people very afraid very concerned as to you know potentially that humanitarian disaster getting even worse so the situation here is very tense at the turks certainly arent pulling back there seems to be no indication of them. Deciding against some sort of military escalation its just very difficult at this stage to gauge exactly when or indeed if that will start and of course we coming back to you through the day as we see developments there certainly on the board of the moment charles strength of that in taki. Wealth and consumer who has more from istanbul. In turkey political circles whether progovernment opposition or from any other political faction when it comes to their fight against the outboard Kurdistan Workers Party which turkey the e. U. And the us deemed as a terrorist organization is welcomed by the turkish public because it turkish nation and the state actually has the Kurdistan Workers Party for decades and it costs around 40000 lives for both sides thats why this military operation in order to have palace a safe zone that will bring back the Syrian Refugees who now live in turkey is welcomed by many turkish people and by some by Many Political circles however u. S. President Donald Trumps there which targets the turkish economy hasnt been welcomed and many criticize the government that uncle rush should have should have responded to these threats. Put all of this in context for you with the comments of the actions that weve seen certainly in northern in Southern Turkey in Northern Syria well as mentioned President Trumps decision to pull troops out has drawn criticism from across the domestic political divide or White House CorrespondentKimberly Hill to tell us more. As u. S. Troops begin pulling out of positions in Northern Syria their commander in chief donald trump defended his decision to withdraw now weve captured isis weve done what weve done we had 50 soldiers in the area talking about and i said we want to bring our soldiers back home its been a long time its a major shift in u. S. Foreign policy one being criticized by members of the president s own Republican Party senator Lindsey Graham one of trumps biggest supporters on twitter pledged to reverse the withdrawal of the u. S. Senate calling it a disaster in the making a move also backed by the top democrat in the senate and i can tell you this it is getting roland condemnation from democrats and republicans and i expect congress will take some form of action either a resolution or something even more. U. S. Officials credit Kurdish Forces with helping take back territory from isolating Northern Syria but there are tensions between turkey and the kurds the turkish government considers one of its most effective fighting forces the p. K. K. To be a terrorist organization some u. S. Lawmakers are threatening to sanction turkey potentially calling for its suspension from nato if it attacks Kurdish Forces in Northern Syria but trump went even further threatening to economically obliterate turkey i have told turkey that if they do anything outside of what we would think is you main they could suffer the wrath of a an extremely decimated economy still trump has long been vocal about his desire to get the u. S. Out of what he calls americas endless wars trumps impulsive syria strategy has led to key members of his administration resigning last year his defense secretary james mattis and brett mcgurk eisel special envoy what this shows president. All of his predecessors were whether republican or democratic is only concerned about himself we have a moral responsibility to the kurds because without them we would not have destroyed the caliphate in a statement on monday the pentagon made clear to turkey the United States does not back turkish operations in Northern Syria believing it will have a destabilizing effect on the region President Trump campaigned in 2016 promising to withdraw the United States from foreign wars now with the 2020 u. S. Election just a little more than a year away it appears potential voters not his senior advisers are the ones trying to care about pleasing most can really help at aljazeera the white house. This is director of the center for middle east studies at the university of oklahoma he says trump puzzler the lowly edge of what might become of kurdish full says if turkey launches a military offensive this shows the real collapse of the Foreign Policy process in the white house weve seen this before in it in korea decisions and tweets that were made about the iran situation in the gulf just a week ago people are guessing what americas going to do next and this is this is clearly not good trump wants to get america out of syria which is understandable he promised in his campaign that he would end the stupid wars in the middle east and he wants to fill some of that now that makes sense the trouble is you knows very little promise oblio about the long history between the kurds and turkey he doesnt realize how brutal the turkish army will be once it gets amongst the kurds. Iraqs president has condemned attacks on protesters during violent antigovernment demonstrations in a t. V. Address but homs ali urged parliament to address protesters demands and called on Security Forces to ensure the rights of iraqis are protected.

S. E. Iran can is our correspondent live for us in baghdad we know the situation is very fluid in iran it seems to have gone quiet on tuesday after days of protests what seems to be going on right now. Well we saw small pockets of process here in baghdad and across the south and center of the country but nowhere near the kind of level that weve seen in previous days here in baghdad in this other city there was a very small protest what were hearing about 2030 people showed up and then there was another protest in this small the neighborhood but it very quickly fizzled out now were trying to figure out why that is it likely from what were being told by both protesters and some politicians is that from the protesters at least they are very worried about this crackdown thats been taking place and they say they senior no Senior Leaders because we dont know who is leading this protest movement is likely to be leaderless but certainly protesters have been out every single day seem to have been targeted been arrested so that may well have had an impact also in so the city there was a changing of the guard almost when the iraqi army that was in charge of quoting the protests they were pulled out by the government and they were placed by federal Police Forces using the police force used much less lethal force than the army does so that may well have had an impact as well but theyre also might be something about the politics of all of this role in the government under a lot of pressure right now so the protesters may well be just waiting and seeing to see what Political Developments happen indeed you talk about Political Developments we see protesters on the streets we see the Security Forces having a crackdown even the Prime Minister talking just earlier where all those politicians where all the parliament ariens why are they not speaking out. Well they all speaking out but they had their speaking out in a very different way to what they normally do that was supposed to be a Parliament Meeting where they were going to discuss all of this 3 of the Major Political blocs decided to boycott by meeting that was supposed to take place and so i say we have no indication as to when polman may need to get in because it simply cant get enough members of parliament to that because of this block so thats one way the opposition polling areas are actually speaking out and then weve got the speaker of the house. To see who is very vocal but no in parliament hes very vocal outside of palm and saying this government needs to resign the needs to be elections hes actually going across the country to try and meet with the governors of the various provinces this is likely to be seen as a very political move almost an election a ring move on his part to try and force the government into an election so well nobodys officially speaking theres no Parliament Session theres no statements coming out from the Iraqi Government as a whole the government has been speaking saying it needs to protest need to stop the opposition parties and like the government the religious parties are blaming the government so theres a lot of politicking but for the moment well leave it of course continue to monitor events with you through the day thanks indra.
