3:05 pm
security agencies, any particular for japanese domestic intelligence agency, they have a specific task to look at these kinds of spine cooperation and see what kind of impact those could have here in the country. so it's not necessarily all new government authorities have been warning for quite some time that that could be an increase in spine cooperation is coming from countries such as russia or china. but these cases that we've heard in the last few days are turning really into very sensitive issues, both from a political perspective, but also from a security perspective as well. our security correspondence always bear with the latest here in berlin. thomas is always thank you. at least 5 people, including a child have died while attempting to cross the english channel from france to the u. k. hours earlier, the british parliament passed a controversial bill to send asylum seekers to for one that became part mystery. she soon atkins, this thing, the 1st wides carrying migrants will leave within weeks. but legal challenges to

3:09 pm
dies ball to shredded deuced battle that our connection with the brotherly and friendly country of talk is done to this is not limited to us being night is when we have historic relations party and we have deeply rooted faith related connections between now to country at all. do you have a, do you need a visit? also sickness. the door of resetting did relations it on get it out. an air strike on a buckets on the board it down in january saying it was targeting militants focused on responded good strikes on it on the 3rd street by tracy's visit and to gets it on consequence is right, is changing the douglas and the fees of going west and hostility eat on is looking to build a close alliance with its neighbor, a neighbor with people large the support it on. jump getting the palestinian cause
3:10 pm
. i came mostly mano cool, but you and your country have taken a very strong and principled stand on gossip over the barbarity and inhumane treatment that is being inflicted on muslims of gossip out of pocket on focused on also stands without palestinian brothers and sisters bank and gaza focused on has been going through a political and economic crisis. it needs western allies, but also hopes to expand great died speed on which has been limited by us sanctions to buy from warner. i'm joins here at the big table by my colleague bean is john vin diesel. let's talk about what this visit means. how is right uses visit, how is it being seen in pakistan? considering you've got the backdrop of this conflict with israel? brent, especially when we consider that is right on it on conflict, but largely this visit. in fact the font is seen positively
3:11 pm
a box if i use the generally are pro palestinian and this and i'll give you an example. for example, when it on a duct is try block. if any social media was full of pleases for it on buckets on the beach, on those had guests calling it on a hero state. and therefore generally because focused on these are pro palestinian in this conflict, their sentiments are more towards it on and generally bucher from the government is also giving this visit a huge importance. lacey's not only will to think of somebody who's going to the hardest to cut archie and fuckers, and the state is giving him a v i. p protocol of what message does braces it to pakistan. what does it send to the western world because i'm thinking, particularly the united states, which is a big ally. israel, it's also an allied to pakistan. yes. and as a us and it's western allies want it on you,
3:12 pm
i solution. and therefore with dispos that tracy is giving the message that he has, he still has friends in that each and 4 block of fun. it's an incredibly difficult choice because focus on once a peaceful neighborhood focus on already has strange relations with india, rid of gone this done. it cannot happen at the full in the neighborhood. but at the same time, occupant doesn't want to make it's a restaurant life angry. and because focused on is going to an economic crisis is trying to seek funding from the eye a mess. so it needs western support. and therefore, what's interesting is that we see the focused on criticism of israel, and this conflict has been very mike and contained as compared to previous bucket from the government sort as compared to other muslim countries like malaysia and indonesia. so at the end of the day, what are these 2 countries trying to do? are they, are they trying to shore up bilateral support?
3:13 pm
and at the same time, are they trying to minimal wise, i guess any, any damage beyond their borders. so it definitely is seeking diplomatic support from august on august on has eyes on gas results of it on it on has the 2nd highest gust itself in the was after russia and focused on desperately needs energy to bring its economy back on track of focus on we'd like to see progress on the multi 1000000000 it on focus on gas pipeline pipeline project, which has long been delayed due to us sections for pockets. and we're trying to maneuver to get that project starting again. and so both of these countries are trying to take advantage of this visit. yeah, it just quickly, if they're, if we didn't have the, the conflict with israel in their run right now, would we really be talking about this visit, or would it seem as important as it seems right now? internationally, the a trip seems as if it seem as important because of, you know, because of this kind of conflict between as dry as it on. but as i've mentioned,
3:14 pm
it is very important for bucker's son to have good relations with it on not only because it wants to be for the neighborhood, but also focused on has 10 to 15 percent of she up operation and focused on doesn't want a proxy was happening and focused on between. so did it be on it on an bed for, for your son drives to have good relations with funding was already solved data. yeah. and she i'm and daughter. yeah, exactly. there are lots of seniors, lots of directions there. you just jotted bean is going to have you hear the studio . thank q. a staff at the turtle hospital in the florida keys have released to rehabilitated sea turtles back to their ocean home. all in celebration of earth day . no sherry be easy here on the left was found entangled in fishing line, suffering from a tumor causing virus. well, pretty girl was also found with the heavy tumor low. both the turtles are now the
