These fields of acacia trees have been tended by means of a mans family for generations for 30 years hes been planting harvesting and tapping them for their sap the liquid flows slowly for days before drying into gum arabic its been the main source of income for his family for decades but hes concerned thats may not continue much longer.

Attack against ground in its offensive against kurdish fighters the u. S. Announces it will withdraw most of its troops from Northern Syria in a matter of days. And our intent is al jazeera live from london also coming up exit polls from tunisia suggest law professor head is the countrys new president after securing more than 70 percent of the vote. Pakistans Prime Minister office to play the role of mediator in talks between regional rivals iran and saudi arabia. And it would begin in syria where state media has reported the syrian army has been deployed to the north of the country to confront Turkish Forces there is just hours after the u. S. Announced a major troop withdrawal from the area and this turkey gains strategic ground its operation against kurdish fighters turkey launched its assault last week to try to drive kurdish led forces from the border region when 130000 people a fled homes near the conflict the u. N. Warns that figure could soon triple roselyn jordan has more from washington. 5 days into the Turkish Military operation in Northern Syria the u. S. Military is pulling about a 1000 soldiers out of the combat zone we find ourselves as we have American Forces likely caught between 2 opposing. Dancing armies and its a very untenable situation but the kurds have been very good partners in the d. A. s campaign they were very good fighters on the battlefield we obviously enabled that as well but at the same time we didnt sign up to fight the turks on their behalf the u. S. Administration would rather keep the focus on turkish president recip Tayyip Erdogan whom they accuse of planning to attack syrian kurds no matter what on twitter President Donald Trump said will be held accountable dealing with Lindsey Graham and many members of congress including democrats about imposing powerful sanctions on turkey treasury is ready to go additional legislation may be sought there is great consensus on this turkey has asked that it not be done stay tuned but trumps withdrawal order has critics accusing him of abandoning the kurds even those democrats now drafting a sanctions bill against turkey for gods sakes what are they waiting for right people are being killed right now are Syrian Kurdish allies are being killed right now it looks like many of the isis detainees theyre about 10000. 00 fighters are now possibly going to be able to escape there are reports this morning that isis sympathizers have already escaped thousands of them and here you have secretary minutiae saying oh well well think about it maybe well do something President Trump tweeting that hes going to destroy their economy if they dont they look ridiculous right now and those republicans who normally support trumps Foreign Policy to see this yet again you know leaving an ally behind abandoning people that we frankly told that we were going to be with is disheartening depressing frankly its weak and i dont see how it follows through on the president s promises biggest promise in the campaign to defeat isis because i think it is going to research conflicting priorities in a war zone with no clear idea where the u. S. Troop withdrawal will lead rosalyn jordan aljazeera washington. Taiki and its allies are pushing further into what kurdish controlled areas controlled areas in Northern Syria as it now controls a strategic supply line that connects west syria to iraq and hoda is on the border of turkey and syria is into the picture on the ground seems to be shifting quite quickly bring us to right up to date the latest yes fast moving developments new front lines emerging a new political new landscape really following the announcement of the of the United States that theyre going to be leaving northeastern syria 1st of all you have turkeys military operation in the northeastern corner they have advanced into syria they have pushed the kurdish Led Syrian Democratic forces away from the border theyve pushed them away from 120 kilometer stretch of that border and theyre now 30 kilometers deep into the country and according to the Turkish Defense ministry they could troll that strategic highway the m 4 highway which is really a critical supply line for more than one player in in the syrian war so the initial phase of turkeys operation is now complete that the 120 by 30 kilometer pocket of territory today the president or the gun giving an unscheduled speech saying that or hinting that there is a 2nd phase to this operation that turkey plans to move to hostile to ein a lot of which is the arab name for for co bonnie well if he intends to do that then there could be further fighting because the as the f. Still controls the area and now the syrian army saying that were going to send our troops to the north of the country so this whole corner of syria is now up for grabs a new map really is emerging so i mean on the bases i mean weve just been getting some was coming in that theres actually a deal has been done effectively between the kurdish ministration in Northern Syria saying its agreed with the Syrian Government for the syrian army to deploy along the syrian Turkish Border if it is a deal that theyve made how significant is that. Well the kurdish Led Syrian Democratic forces really were left with little choice they were abandoned by their ally the United States turkey is an enemy so they reached out to russia russia brokered that deal reported deal between the Syrian Government and the s d f that the s b f would hand over territory so the Syrian Government instead of or preventing the turkish army from entering so this is a report to deal at the end of the day like i mention new front lines emerging a new map emerging but its the s. D. F. Their rule kurdish rule in syria which is coming really to an end because its unlikely that the damascus government is going to allow them to continue governing this whole region by themselves and autonomy this region they were in the gauche ations months ago and at that time they had leverage now they have little leverage but we have to point out why northeastern syria is so important for every player in this conflict their oil fields its the bread basket of syria for the syrian state the kastrup syrian state its very important to return to this territory so all these players now the whole the whole area is up for grabs and there really could be further fighting if these different armies and different groups come close together we also have to remember there are the there are the iranians as well in that there are 2 or front line further south and they would like to push further north as well to reach the oil fields a very complex and complicated situation on the ground with this sudden announcement that the u. S. Will be leaving syria very very soon zain hunter thank you very much indeed. Turkeys president has dismissed claims that eisel detainees have escaped from Detention Centers in northeast syria it follows reports that an unconfirmed number of people fled from a center in iran is sir after it was shelled by Turkish Forces we asked if says another prison camp in chemistry was shelled by turkey on friday at a one says his forces will take responsibility for thousands of isolate fighters and their families in Northern Syria. Preliminary results have begun to roll in from tunis here where voters of cast their ballots to decide who the next countrys president will be lets take a look at what the exit polls are saying conservative law professor has secured 72. 5 percent of the vote whereas media mogul kerry has secured 27 and a half percent thats based on a turnout of 60 percent actually joins us live from the capital tunis so if these results are confirmed what will it mean for 2 years here. Its a huge story here. Its the. It has managed to achieve what has eluded his predecessors is to 1011. 00 this is someone who has won the election with more than 70 percent of the electoral vote which means that he has a strong bandaid by the tennesseans to tackle the issues that the country faces particularly the economic problems and the political divides i think as soon as he takes the oath of office hes going to talk to the Political Parties to form a governing coalition as soon as possible is a call because a country cannot afford to wait longer and then start to talk in the issues that the country faces with talking about someone who has emerged as a side that not to get to through the Political Landscape into his year as a political analyst law professor to becoming. A 2nd democratically elected president however he does understand that he faces a huge challenges ahead the political divide on one hand the budget deficit unemployment and poverty and he has made a promise to the people that he would change their lives for the better and he knows that from today if we wait for him and see whether his guy into on of those promises him 8 and hes i mean especially since in some ways a kind of a technocrat rather than a career politicians or perhaps people will feel reassured by that because he had a particular taking strong Economic Program is that what you think people voted for. What basically i think what he has for the time being is this unprecedented backing his supporters are now on the side across the streets of the capital today celebrating he has the backing and this is happening for the 1st time now in tennessee after the 2011 revolution he has the backing. The leftist of the nationalist and of the conservative party so even within the key components of the parliament he has a strong backing and he has a strong. Mandate from the tunisians tonight more than 70 percent of the electorate a vote is behind him so with this i think he will go to the parliament and say you know what i need a governing coalition now and i want you to stop bickering and the feuding and i want you to form a governing coalition. Thats political civility if they can manage is to convince all the Political Parties the parties to implement some sense of stability that would help the nation to move forward and tackle the economy it will definitely have to ask for help from the International Community from the International Monetary fund from the e. U. And from neighboring countries from countries in the gulf region if that happens that could boost his chances in the future and that could also consider date his position as president but i have to tell you that there is a huge excitement here into his ear tonight optimism which is prevailing in the country that finally there is someone who can and the political divide and move forward to talk of the most pressing economic problems that the country faces.
