20 MILLION DOLLAR ELECTRICAL

THERE IS A FALLACY THAT 4@YOU C
BE ELECTROCUTED. IMPOSSIBLE. IT
WOULD BE DISTURBING BUT YOU

PARK YOU CAN FACE A FINE 4@OR
EVEN JAIL TIME. ONE WILDLIFE
BIOLOGIST SAYS KEEPING AT LEAST
50 YARDS 4@AWAY FROM BEARS IS
IMPORTANT AS THEY PREPARE FOR
WINTER THIS TIME OF YEAR. BEARS
ARE FOCUSED ON FEEDING AND
FEEDING ON ACORNS AND FATTENING
UP FOR HIBERNATION. AND 4@A LOT
OF TIMES THEY'RE JUST OBLIVIOUS
TO THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE
NEARBY. THEY'RE FOCUSED ON
GETTING FAT AND A LOT OF TIMES
THEY ALLOW PEOPLE TO GET CLOSER
THAN PERHAPS NORMAL. RANGERS 4@
ARE WORKING AREAS OF THE PARK
WHERE THEY OFTEN SEE OR HEAR
ABOUT CLOSING 4@COUNTERS. THEY'
ADDING CONES IN AN EFFORT TO
KEEP PEOPLE FROM STOPPING AND
WARNING THEM TO KEEP THEIR
DISTANCE FROM THOSE ANIMALS.

CASE. INVEST4@IGATORS ARE NOW
OFFERING 4@A SIX THOUSAND DOLLA
REWARD FOR INFORMATION THAT
LEADS TO AN ARREST OR
CONVICTION IN THAT CASE. WE
REPORTED LAST NIGHT 4@ON THE NE
FIGHT IN SYRIA TIED TO THE US
THE KURDS 4@AND THE TURKS
CONFLICT IN THAT REGION DATES
BACK DECADES. IT INVOLVES
SEVERAL DIFFERENT GROUPS AND
OUR VERIFIED TEAM EXPLAINS THE
BASICS HERE'S JASON PUCKETT.
LET'S START WITH THE KURDS 4@
MERRITT ETHNIC GROUP OF ABOUT
25 TO 30 MILLION PEOPLE. WHEN 4@
FELL APART AROUND WORLD WAR 1
THEY4@ WERE LEFT WITHOUT AN
OFFICIAL COUNTRY TO CALL HOME
WHICH IS HOW THEY CAME TO BE
ALONG THE SYRIATURKEY BORDER IN
THE FIRST 4@PLACE WITHOUT AN
OFFICIAL TERRITORY. KURDS IS
SPREAD OUT ACROSS THE FIVE
COUNTRIES TURKEY SYRIA IRAN
IRAQ AND PARTS OF ARMENIA 4@
THEY'VE HISTORICALLY BEEN
INVOLVED IN REBELLIONS AND HAVE
ALSO BEEN THE TARGETS OF ATTACK
AS THEY TRY TO ESTABLISH A
COUNTRY OF THEIR OWN. AND
THAT'S WHY TURKEY CARES.
PRESIDENT ERDOGAN HAS SP4@OKEN
OUT THAT THE KURDS WHO SETTLED
ON THE BORDER OF TURKEY ARE
CONNECTED TO TERRORIST GROUPS
THAT ARE REBELLING 4@WITHIN THE
COUNTRY. BASICALLY HE'S WORRIE4
THAT THE KURDS IN SYRIA AND THE
KURDS IN TURKEY COULD UNDERMINE
HIS COUNTRY. SO WHERE DOES THE
US COME INTO ALL OF THIS. WELL
ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO WE STARTED
WORKING 4@GROUPS NEAR THE BORDE
AS CIVIL WARS REDEFINED THE
BOUNDARIES WITHIN SYRIA. THE
KURDS WERE ONE OF THE GROUPS
FIGHTING ISIS IN THE REGION 4@A
WE JOINED THEM. THEY PROVIDED
MOST OF THE GROUND TROOPS WE
SUPPORTED 4@WITH THE AIR FORCE
AND A SMALL GROUP OF SOLDIERS
ON THE GROUND AS ADVISERS. NOW
WE HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN DIRECTLY
INVOLVED IN THE TERRITORY
DISPUTES OR REGIONAL CONCERNS.
THE U.S. PURPOSE ON PAPER WAS
TO FIGHT 4@4@ISIS BUT THE PRESE
OF U.S. TROOPS MEANT THAT
TURKEY WAS UNLIKELY TO TRY AND
PUSH THE KURDS BACK BECAUSE
THEY'D RISK TAKING MILITARY
ACTION AGAINST THE U.S.. WELL
OUR TROOPS ARE GONE NOW.
PRESIDENT TRUMP PULLED THEM
BACK 4@EARLIER THIS MONTH AND N
TURKISH TROOPS HAVE MOVED INTO
THE REGION. ACCORDING THE
UNITED NATIONS THEY'VE
DISPLACED MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED
FIFTY THOUSAND PEOPLE AS 4@THEY
TRY TO PUSH THE KURDS OUT OF
THE AREA WITHOUT THE U.S.
TROOPS THE KURDISH 4@FORCES HAV
NOW 4@TURNED TO THE SYRIAN
GOVERNMENT. SO IF THIS IS ALL
GETTING JUMBLE THE BOTTOM LINE
IS THAT REMOVING OUR TROOPS HAS
REKINDLED 4@TERRITORY DISPUTES
THAT THE SYRIATURKEY BO4@RDER W
WERE WORKING WITH THE KURDS 4@B
NOW THEY'VE TURNED TO SYRIAN
PRESIDENT BASHAR AL ASSAD FOR
AID AND HE'S SENDING TROOPS TO
MEET THE TURKISH FORCES. THAT'S
A VERY BASIC OVERVIEW OF WHAT
LED TO THE SITUATION WE'RE ALL
IN NOW. WE'RE WORKING ON CLAIMS
FROM POLITICIANS AND WORLD
LEADERS ABOUT THE SITUATION AS
WELL. AND IF YOU SEE ANY YOU
WANT US TO LOOK AND TO SEND US
AN E-MAIL DEERE VERIFY. I'M
JASON PUCKETT ALL RIGHT LET'S
