The Obama Administration decided to abandon its programme to train fighters battling i. S. I. L. In syria. The state Department Says there needs to be a shift in focus to train leaders instead. Over the past few years the u. S. Spent 500 million trying to equip thousands of fighters. Only a handful made it to the battlefield. Rosalind jordan reports from washington d. C. Reporter when i. S. I. L. Fighters captured parts of syria in 2014, the u. S. Came up with a plan. Trained Syrian Rebels to go after i. S. I. L. Instead. 500 million over three years, to raise an army some 15,000 men strong. A year later the u. S. Is dumping that idea and planning to give basic military equipment and support to existing groups. U. S. Officials insist the goal is the same. Enable, capable motivated forces on the ground to retake territory from i. S. I. L. , and reclaim syrian territory. Fewer than 100 people were aggravated. They collapsed when they entered the battlefield. It was an embarrassment for the Obama Administration. Can you tell us what the total number of trained fighters remains . Its a small number. The ones that are in the fight is we are talking four or five. As i see it right now, theres four or five u. S. Trained fighters. Lets not kid ourselves. Thats a joke. Once the war ends, the rebel fighters should have a seat at the table. One of the reasons to provide support to a variety of opposition groups in syria is clearly to fight i. S. I. L. But another reason is to ensure that there are credible opposition factions in the country who could be a part of the transition. With russia running its own operations in syria. The u. S. Is worried there wont be anything once the war ends. So far, in terms of Russian Military activity, and the strikes are taken, they are predominantly without opposition groups. With one change in u. S. Policy, the situation is unstable. The u. S. Has no quick way of ending the violence now, the u. S. Says it will hold a second round of talks with russia to ensure air safety during the Bombing Campaign in syria. Moscow says 300 fighters have been killed in syria during air strikes in raqqa, homs and aleppo. Five were killed in an air strike on a camp for internally displaced people. 50 were injured in the strike on the village in idlib province. A palestinian has been killed by Israeli Security forces in occupied east jerusalem. 16 palestinians and four israelis had died since the beginning of the month of unrest. The violence spread to gaza on friday, where seven palestinians died after israeli groups opened fire on protesters. More than 1500 palestinians and dozens of israelis had been injured since october the 3rd. The unrest began at the alaqsa compound in occupied east jerusalem. Palestinians fear that israel is seeking to change the rules which govern access to the site. The violence spread to the gaza strip. The leader of the palestinian faction hamas is calling on supporters to join the protests. This follows days of rising tensions. There has been stabbings and shootings across the region. Hoda abdelhamid has been following the matter. Given the ratcheting up of tension, what is it like today . At the moment, its calm. We know students have actually said that they will march to this area behind me, and thats where the scene of the violent clashes over the past few days including yesterday and in hebron, it will be the funeral of two palestinians who died in the previous days. One of them is alleged, according to israeli police, and has been trying to stab the soldiers, and the other stabbed another israeli soldiers. We are expecting during the funerals, or just after the funeral procession there. There is an effort to try to bring the situation under control, especially here in the occupied west bank. The issue is whether the youth will listen to the leadership or not. What appears to be the case so far is the fact that these clashes are pretty random in nature. They are sporadic, they are not organized yet. We are not seeing a mass oshingistration of protests yet, are we . Absolutely not. These are not clashes called for by the various palestinians factions, its an expression of frustration and anger from the palestinian youth. As you said before, theres the issue over the suspicions, the growing suspicions over the motive of israel over the alaqsa mosque compound, and theres built up anger and frustration. The family that was killed inside her home by an israeli settler is something that is brought up all the time. The expansion ever settlement, the fact that they have no hope and see no future the. That is really at the crux of the matter. Continued Israeli Occupation, and many tell you that the Israeli Occupation will end when israel takes the land. Thats what they believe. They are angry at the Palestinian Authority, saying that the Palestinian Authority is too wake in front of israel, it doesnt stand ground and gave it too much, giving too much to israel. Theyll say theyll not be silent and will put as much pressure as they want. In the wider public, theres less appetite for this to grow and expand into a third inte fadda. They have had two, and it led to nothing much. Hoda abdelhamid reporting live from ramallah in the occupied west bank. North koreas leader warned the u. S. That he is ready to respond to any threat.
