BETWEEN TURKISH AND KURDISH

FORCES IN NORTHERN SYRIA.

THIS AS WE LEARN THE PENTAGON

IS PLANNING TO DEPLOY TANKS AND

ADDITIONAL TROOPS TO THE REGION

TO PROTECT OIL FIELDS FROM ISIS.

BENJAMIN HALL IS LIVE FROM

NORTHERN SYRIA WITH A

FASCINATING REPORT FOR US.

>> THE BIG NEWS ON GROUND THAT

EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT IS

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S DECISION TO

SEND TROOPS AND TANKS TO

EASTERN SYRIA.

NOT WAS THE U.S. WAS DEPLOYED

BEFORE BUT OF IMPORTANCE AND

THEY'LL MOVE IN TO PROTECT IT

FROM ANY POSSIBLE INSURGENCY

AND IRAN AND RUSSIA.

IT IS RUSSIA THAT WE'RE SEEING

ON THE GROUND MOVING IN.

300 TROOPS TODAY HAVE COME IN.

WE HAVE SEEN THEM DRIVING

AROUND AND FLYING THEIR FLAGS

HIGH ON THE STREETS AND IT IS

THEM WHO ARE NOW TELLING U.S.

TROOPS TO LEAVE.

ONE OF THE BIG WORRIES CAUSED

BY ALL OF THIS UNCERTAINTY AND

WHAT WE SAW TODAY IS WHO IS

GOING TO GUARD THE ISIS PRISONS

IN THE CHAOS?

TODAY AT THIS FACILITY WE

VISITED WE SAW 5,000 FOREIGN

ISIS FIGHTERS WHO HAVE BEEN

CAPTURED.

HALF OF THE GUARDS AT THIS

FACILITY HAVE HAD TO LEAVE TO

PUSH NORTH TO COUNTER THE

TURKISH INVASION.

NUMEROUS ESCAPE ATTEMPTS.

SOME SUCCESSFUL.

IT IS THOUGHT UP TO 100 MAY

STILL BE ON THE RUN.

AMONG THOSE WE SPOKE TO TODAY A

BRITISH FIGHTER WHO LOST HIS

LEG AND NOW ASKING THE U.K. TO

TAKE HIM BACK.

>> THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS A

MISTAKE.

IT WAS A BIG MISTAKE.

A LOT OF PEOPLE -- I AM TALKING

ABOUT MYSELF.

>> THESE PRISONERS ALL SAY THEY

WERE COOKS AND CLEANERS AND TOO

YOUNG WHEN THEY JOINED ISIS AND

MADE A MISTAKE AND THEY DESERVE

A SECOND CHANCE.

MANY OF THEM BEAR THE SCARS OF

WAR.

THEY'RE CONSIDERED DANGEROUS

AND A REAL THREAT IF THEY ARE

NOT SECURED.

IT IS ALREADY THOUGHT THAT

14,000 ISIS FIGHTERS WERE NOT

CAPTURED AS THEY MELTED BACK

INTO THE POPULATION AND THERE

HAS BEEN AN A RISE IN ATTACKS

OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS.

PRESIDENT TRUMP CALLED FOR

EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AND OTHER

WESTERN NATIONS TO TAKE BACK

THEIR FOREIGN FIGHTERS THE TRY

TO LIGHTEN THE LOAD ON THE

KURDISH FORCES HERE.

THEY HAVEN'T DONE THAT.

MANY HAVE REVOKED THEIR

CITIZENSHIP AND AS SUCH RIGHT

NOW THESE PRISONS ARE
