the war because many syrian refugees have come to australia but the reason i group of syrians in australia who do not support the syrian scene because they see it as a wing of bashar al assad's regime they say he has planted lots of money into the syrian scene but lots of support behind it because he wants to show that syria is a functioning society with a good football team a very i mean they're supporting australia but it has to be said that the protest outside the ground before the match was very small and the protesters were totally outnumbered by they if you like the syrian support is there to support syria rather than the home team here in trying leigh as well some of the players in the syrian say i don't support the assad regime in fact one of the strong syrian players when it cools our chests he gives one of the big players in the first leg and was again here tonight has been again has not he boycotted the syrian saying for four years before deciding reluctantly to get involved again in this world cup campaign he came on as a substitute early in the second half and he's already bee

kind of threat is very true but on the one hand if you ask about syrians depends on which syrian you are talking about because if you are talking about loyalists those who are supporting that they have different different answer to that if you are talking to the opposition and also within the opposition there are different answers to that but concerned in turkey and its interest in in fact i see this this process the whole process having to mean objectives for. the other parties to this agreement that your onions and that a chance for turkey is the main issue here is containing the free and the dominated the could dish dominated a free area and the northwestern part of the country and by getting involved intervening militarily and directly in adlib we have in fact just surrounded the whole area which are the cause are controlling in this part and because i was not them from moving out not spam they don't know i am there their current that the turks actually deal with very much concern that the americans will be supporting the senior democratic forces into a military operation into th

many syrian refugees say they no longer feel welcome in turkey. >> a young syrian whom we'll call mahmut fled his country's civil war and now lives anonymously in istanbul. his flight was a nightmare. he says that when he reached the syrian border, turkish soldiers abducted and threatened him and other refugees. >> so he was pointing at me the gun and he said i should say my last prayer. another had a panic attack, started to cry and yell. after 10 minutes he looked at us and said, i am kidding. >> mistreatment of refugees at the turkish-syrian border is being reported more and more frequently. this recently filmed cell-phone video shows turkish soldiers beating and kicking syrian youths who have crossed the border. human rights organizations are alarmed. racist attacks against refugees are on the rise in turkey's big cities. the refugees' precarious situation makes it easy to encourage hostility. >> if you have a situation where it's difficult for people to register in some circumstances, for them to get a solid legal status. and some of the country's political parties are making negati

the syrian democratic forces. in this case, it means employing syrian democratic forces with aalition assistance to coordinated framework. equally represented by syrian kurds and syrian arabs who have created a remarkable operating operative with the coalition. civil councils as a result of this arrangement made up of syrian civic leaders from the inal area, it has aided alleviating governance concerns for the local corporations. this approach is working well and has facilitated the reintroduction of local control and the return of displaced persons to their homes. another partner another partner -- is united arab emirate as we operate gather in yemen. uae share the common national interest of eradicating terrorism. we have adapted our approach so that u.s. advisors work with moroccan forces as they employ a six full strategy. the hybrid approach works well. andforcing a local approach local ownership over the solution. that is the goal. local solutions to local problems in u.s. assistance where and when our natio

syrian army to a. strong position on the freight this in order to cross the north through to the north area of syria so that's why they focused on their design and they gave less importance to this was one factor another factor was that the syrian army was pressing and that is not on at the same time was launching. another attack on my idea and i believe that this was the main reason and of course we need to mention the support of the russian air force and the russian military experts and of course iranian forces fighting alongside the syrian army just another aspect to get your thoughts on in another nearby city iraq where the u.s. backed anti isilon peroration is ongoing the russian military say the coalition is using the wrong tactics as they're trying to destroy the city's water supplies which could of course impact greatly on civilians and your thoughts on that aspect . well the technique used by the united states forces whether in syria or in iraq is to cause as much damage as possible for it to

the stigma just mentioned around mental health east is one of many barriers to treating syrian refugees many have experienced or witnessed atrocities during the war in syria now in its seventh year that war has created a staggering number of refugees more than five million many are risk of psychological trauma and in need of mental health services to cope with off to brutal memories from home and the difficult journey to escape and start life in a new country turkish authorities have estimated that fifty five percent of the three million syrian refugees there need mental health care while half of those families believe they need psychological support in germany which is taken in almost two hundred seventy thousand syrian refugees one study estimates fifty percent have mental health issues and have been victims of violence resources to address mental health scare us but experts say immediate treatment is needed to avoid long term damage is one way a syrian child expressed the trauma he experienced in war have a look. so just how difficult is it to receive treatment well here to help us d

across lebanon the syrian refugee sentiment is now plastered on posters and billboards like these put up in recent weeks by a political party demanding they go home earlier this month president michel own also said it was time the world help syrians to return back to their country if you continue doing this not at that if you continue to exist today then mobilize your community again and it is your day that the you know the impact of the scene as i created this for you. and in the next four months until the elections comes this is really something lebanon has a long and complex relationship with refugees as well as almost one and a half million syrians there are also more than four hundred fifty thousand palestinians many descended from those who fled after the creation of israel. years ago together the communities make up almost a quarter of lebanon's population of six million which is why some politicians say they want the syrians to leave mourning lebanon its own history of sectarian divisions will only worsen if they remain. in al-jazeera beirut let's make. a middle east researche
