Turkey-Syria tensions
Will Turkey attack Kurdish fighters after the US pulls out of north-east Syria?
President Trump has threatened to destroy Turkey's economy if the country goes "off limits" following his surprise decision to pull US forces out of north-eastern Syria. Kurdish forces were key US allies in defeating ISIS in Syria but Turkey regards them as terrorists and could launch an attack on Kurdish fighters across the border.
We spoke to General David Petraeus who led US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan and was head of the CIA from 2011 to 2012. We also hear from Dr Alan Semo, the UK Representative of the PYD - which has been described as one of the most important Kurdish opposition parties in Syria.
