to china's move some experts say the view inside china is not as pessimistic in a weaker you one was expected at some point in the past the u.s. has been hesitating with the currency manipulator label or a concern that it could trigger a trade war but we're already in one so the consequences are low and the negotiations with the international monetary fund could take up to a year and some feel that the i.m.f. won't act against china despite the u.s. accusation of manipulation when he started mentioning the i.m.f. the question is what could he do there the i.m.f. consentual organization they're not going to take sides in fact 2 weeks ago they already issued their own statement about china's currency and they said that it is and why with international standards despite the arguments the u.s. says it still planning for a visit from a chinese trade delegation in september it's got harder al-jazeera beijing puerto

your headlines the news continues after inside story during the t.v. company the coming hours all see from 70 tomorrow. what's at stake for the kurds in syria turkey considers a kurdish led syrian democratic forces to its security and wants to establish a border buffer zone the u.s. backs the kurdish fighters and says it wants to prevent a turkish offensive against the candidate bridge that differences over the this is inside story.

hello welcome to the program. took his president has warned he's lost his patience with the united states over the establishment of a safe zone in northern in northeast syria and iran says he will always out an offensive against the kurdish led syrian democratic forces the turks consider the u.s. backed s.d.f. a terrorist organization and wants to protect its border with a buffer zone but american troops and the pantai gold warned against and it. targeting is kurdish in the battle i guess i still. city any clues indicate that about talk the new cool puck it's our top priority to train the terrorists want in northern syria turkey cannot feel safe as long as a structure in the south which is growing like a cancer cell and is increasing with a heavy weapon itself our allies is not eliminated if we don't do what's needed

today we would have to do it tomorrow by paying a bigger cost he said god willing we will bring our operation so a different face very soon so. we've been heavily engaged with the turks with regard to their own security interests in northern syria. clearly we believe any unilateral action by them would be unacceptable and so we're trying to do now is work out with an arrangement to address their concerns and i'm hopeful we'll get there at the same time we're going to do is prevent unilateral incursions that would upset again these mutual interests that both the united states turkey and the s.d.f. share with the article in syria. saying the whole doha's more of the talks from ghazi on tip on the turkish syrian border. for months the united states and turkey have been engaged in discussions over what turkey calls a safe zone along syria's north eastern border as i was negotiations have been difficult differences but it has been difficult really for the united states to try

to balance the interests and demands by 2 allies turkey being a nato ally the syrian armed kurdish group the why p.g. is an ally of the united states in its fight against the i saw. the differences really have been over the length and the depths of the zone as well as who will control the zone and most importantly the fate of the wife p.g. turkey considers the y.p. geo terrorist organization and if it wants the group to be in its words neutralized but do knighted states want to continue to cooperate with this actor in syria it's what he calls a partner in syria in the in the ongoing fight against isis so it is not clear if the these 2 countries will be able to reach a deal it has tested their relationship a lot with the us is at stake because turkey has repeatedly warned that it will act alone it will carry out a cross border operation if there is no deal with the united states the united

states has warned against this of course across the border a unilateral cross border our operation would be risky there could be unintended confrontation between 2 nato allies and it's not just that the white peachy house promised to fight back for a corner of syria which is so strategic for many players many players want this corner syria it's rich in oil and it is of course the bread basket of syria and it gives each of these players more influence in the syrian conflict center whether for inside story. is to. incursion into syria in the past 4 years the 1st was 2 years ago. the northern town which was held by 2 and a half. of years the turkish operation was also aimed at limiting the growing influence of the syrian kurdish led alliance and the formation of a kurdish state on turkish border turkey considers the us back soon democratic forces a terrorist organization there and

a 3 in offensives followed in the next 2 years turkey agreed to set up a deescalation zone as part of a deal with russia now turkey plans to target areas east of the euphrates river where hundreds of u.s. troops are stationed. let's bring in our guess here with us in doha is syria political analyst and head of the policy analysis of the arab center for research in ankara batting kill or professor of world history of the american university of iraq so a manny and from norman oklahoma last guy just one on this director of the center for middle east studies university of oklahoma and editor of syria comment blog welcome to the program marwan this seems to be. a push to come up with an agreement between the turks and the americans about safe buffer zones but.

is this something they can agree on permanently or do you see the potential for confrontation between the americans and the turks the well theoretically i mean they might come up with an extreme and although i mean there are major differences on the on the buffer zone as in actually mentioned in the report there is differences over the depth of what the borders on the americans are willing to give the turks something like 5 kilometers inside syrian territories whereas the government is seeking actually something like between 20 and 30 miles deep within inside syria it's about also where the scan actually enter could dish villages and towns on the borders on the borders between syria and turkey and also there is the question of what happens to the heavy weapons with. because the turkish government is also asking the united states to this arm the kurdish militia from the heavy weapons which had been provided. while it was actually fighting fighting isis so

there are major differences still between talking about these although i mean as is said i mean they can actually agree on a compromise but i mean that is not the only issue and we must keep in mind there is another issue that is very important in my opinion because although it looks very much like a bilateral issue between the united states and turkey there are different regional . for the regional implications. the turks of the americans seem to be no narrowing differences over the issue of the safe zones but is this the focal point of the issue of the problem or is there is more to it. thank you 1st of all thanks for having me on the show that's a great question whether the issue of the buffer zone as as an issue of self or part of a much broader set of problems in u.s. turkish relations the answer is both on the one hand. genuinely sees dippy why the . the. party for. people's unity party

in syria as an extension of the p.k. case and in fact the p.y.t. and its and its armed wing y p g do not deny the fact that they take inspiration from of the imprisoned leader of the p.k. k. a belligerent and as we know in the west and since 2014 of the p y d as part of the syrian democratic forces s d f have expanded in the their the area under their control in the northeast and serious part of the operations as part of the operations against isis this is a genuine security threat for turkey but it also is a very important problem in u.s. turkish relations because the p y d's main sponsor main international backer is the us government since 2014 starting with 1st airstrikes and then u.s. special operations operatives being inserted into north east in syria the united

states has become. the main sponsor of the p.y.t. and the s.d.f. . it's it's basically sophie's choice you know on the one hand you have your nato ally and on the other hand you have your main and muslim affective local actor against isis since you mentioned the u.s. influence and link to the y.p. dnd why p.g. just is a whole debate just about the buffer zone of the details of the buffer zones how deep should be who should be in control who should monitor the area all. why is it from an american perspective because the moment they said that they would like to go east of the a for vegas that was a red flag from and from that for them for the vote for the top administration yes you know i think to understand the turkish point of view you have to look at the 2 major shifts in american policy we have to remember that that obama and courage the

turks to get involved in syria and that america would fall behind they were going to put the sunni arabs in power then america got spooked by the sunni arabs it's switched from the sunni arabs to the kurds in order to destroy isis it promised the turks that once it had destroyed isis it would get rid of the it would take back the heavy weapons and it would leave the region now that has infuriated the turks because both of these promises to help the sunni arabs come to power and then to leave syria after isis destroyed have not been fulfilled and the united states has switched his policy to an anti iran policy and staying in syria for the long duration now from an american point of view. they want to stay in syria because they believe they have to roll back iran there to continue fighting isis is the war on terror and that turkey is upsetting the apple cart america is convinced that they can have it both ways they can have

a turkish ally and they can continue to support the white b.g. because they believe the white b.g. is not a terrorist organization they can successfully build a firewall between the white and the pe k k ok sharks aren't by nest and we're at loggerheads. just was basically saying that it is specter or there's a deal or not about the buffer zone we're talking about now and never going to kill landscape in syria itself where the americans are looking into different potential challenges particular when it comes to the law isn't this something which could further complicate the task for the turkish government which says that he's determined if there's no agreement to move forward with mr campaign what i think i mean well i this is something in my opinion it's going to be very difficult for actually to move in without the consent of the united states specially now after the u.s. secretary of defense has warned against against that and in my opinion turkey has been actually threatening to in the 2 go and side syria for the past few months at

least since a president actually said that he would like to withdraw from east in syria. but of course i mean they knew what that the u.s. administration the strategy of the u.s. administration because it is very much complicating the situation for turkey not only for took it it's also for russia because turkey and the shop was was actually we're expecting the united states to leave the eastern part of syria is to defeat these the moment they defeat i said but that actually is not is not the case right now we all know that president is very willing to leave actually but it's been tagged on which wants to stay very much because you know i mean president from he twice actually he quit for the withdrawal of u.s. of u.s. troops from the country but i think now they convinced him that it's more useful perhaps for the united states to stay. because they can actually prevent iran from having the this land door between iraq syria and lebanon and they will actually prevent that evolve and they will use actually the presence military presence of the if it is in order to put pressure on the syrian regime to accept

a political solution to this conflict because we all know that there is somebody of syria is useful syria and fact if it includes.
