:04:43. > :04:47.middle of all that is happening here in Brazil, the political crisis that
:04:48. > :04:50.Brazil is facing. There is massive corruption investigation that is
:04:51. > :04:56.going on here known as the Car Wash scandal. That has implicated many
:04:57. > :05:02.political parties, top political figures in bribery schemes that
:05:03. > :05:09.started with the petrol giant Petrobras and that has led to a
:05:10. > :05:12.discrediting of the workers party, the party of Dilma Rousseff. It is
:05:13. > :05:18.quite compensated because some people who are in favour of
:05:19. > :05:23.impeachment, although they want to imply it is the full. The workers
:05:24. > :05:26.party, we see this is deeply ingrained in the political system in
:05:27. > :05:32.Brazil and other political parties. People here don't really have a
:05:33. > :05:37.feeling that with a substitution, if Rousseff is confirmed, if the
:05:38. > :05:40.impeachment goes ahead, there is not really a feeling that will bring any

:10:08. > :10:13.is a huge balancing act. On the one hand they believe that Kurdish
:10:14. > :10:17.forces, YPG forces, they have been capable fighters in the battle
:10:18. > :10:21.against Islamic State. The US has armed and trained them. It regards
:10:22. > :10:26.them as perhaps the most organised of the groups in that area. The US
:10:27. > :10:31.has failed previously to trade its own forces, so it is backing the
:10:32. > :10:35.Kurds stop its Nato ally Turkey is very suspicious of Kurdish

:10:44. > :10:48.territory along that southern border with Turkey. That is why there is
:10:49. > :10:52.this conflict. It is not something that is a great surprise, but it
:10:53. > :11:00.will require a lot of arm-twisting by the US to stop them going at them

:11:33. > :11:38.starting to come into view in northern Syria because now that
:11:39. > :11:46.places like Jarablus has gone, the way is much more open to Islamic
:11:47. > :11:51.State capital Raqqa, the big prize against ISO in that northern part of
:11:52. > :11:57.Syria. There must be concern in the US that they cannot afford to upset
:11:58. > :12:02.the Kurds, just as much as they have to keep Turkey onside. US needs both
:12:03. > :12:07.sides of this. In his the Turks, it needs the Kurds in both these things
:12:08. > :12:12.and that is where the lies. You are seeing at the moment, statements
:12:13. > :12:16.from the Pentagon, we're waiting for the Defence Secretary to speak, as
:12:17. > :12:19.well. We are seeing statements trying to balance these competing
:12:20. > :12:25.demands saying Turkey shouldn't be shelling these areas where there are
:12:26. > :12:29.no IS fighters. And telling the YPG to move back across the Euphrates
