embassy in ankara and a warrant issued for another the u.s. took the unusual step of saying they would stop issuing visas for some turkish nationals traveling to america the first explanation was posted by the u.s. ambassador to turkey on twitter we don't know if these arrests are singular offense or if we should expect other turkish staff members to be arrested turkey quickly followed suit with similar measures but president rich a type one said he did it reluctantly and on kind of this is a very sad decision and the ambassador has taken a decision and started implementing it so it's a source of sadness. this is just the latest in a growing list of diplomatic back and forth the relationship between these two nato allies started souring during the syrian civil war turkey upset the us didn't do enough against the assad government even angrier when the u.s. backed kurdish fighters and later armed them. then last year's coup attempt and it

got worse blame to cleric for two of the golan who lives in the u.s. they wanted him extradited for his alleged role the obama administration refused and the trump administration hasn't moved on it either that was a big issue when he first met president donald trump but that was overshadowed by what happened when he left the oval office. turkish security officers violently attacked what appeared to be peaceful protesters outside the turkish ambassador's residence fifteen of them were indicted in u.s. courts and as a result the u.s. stopped a planned sale of small arms to turkey turkey further angered the u.s. when it agreed to buy a russian missile defense system equipment that wouldn't work within nato has indicated he would be willing to trade americans imprisoned in turkey for golan but given that would be hard to do within the legal system something he really wants the case thrown out against her citizen reza zurab who was awaiting trial in the u.s. for allegedly helping turkey of aid sanctions against iran it was

a matter of wanting it back then wanting the case to go away it wanting him not to testify not wanting any of the details about their role in helping iran evade sanctions coming out in the course of a trial it will be yet another chance for the ole ready frosty relationship to cool even more political hang al-jazeera washington. moving on to other news now and iran is promising a crushing response if the u.s. designates and the revolution we've got as a terrorist group president trump has been promoting a more hawkish strategy on iran accusing it of supporting terrorism and exporting violence across the middle east and to withdraw u.s. government support for the two thousand and fifteen u.k. a deal this week say invest has more. in the last few days the headlines here have been dominated by defiant rhetoric from iranian leaders who say that any actions by the united states to impose new sanctions or to abandon the two thousand

and fifteen nuclear deal will be met with a strong response at a news conference iran's foreign ministry spokesman backroom kasumi has said that it would be a strategic mistake for the white house to place the country's revolutionary guard corps on a list of terror organizations and that he hoped for a more rational response from the u.s. president. position is very clear we hope that the american authorities will not continue their mistakes or commit such a strategic mistake and impose new sanctions that would declare the revolutionary guard as a terrorist organization if they do that iran's response will be decisive and overwhelming the u.s. will not be able to face the consequences we hope that those who are wise in america will take the right steps and stand against such a decision the language in recent days from the revolutionary guard itself has been much stronger the chief commander has said that if the united states was to take such an action then its bases in the region would be considered strategic targets and that its troops in the region would be given the same status in the eyes of the

iranian forces as i saw fighters and even as countries who helped negotiate the nuclear dealers' the united states not to take any actions to abandon it iran wants people to know that it will need any new challenges from a position of strength it's posturing on both sides that is putting the obama administration's hard won nuclear deal in jeopardy. about four u.s. republican senator bob corker has issued more criticism of president donald trump and to view with the new york times the chair of the senate foreign relations committee who set to retire said trump is trading the presidency like a reality t.v. show and making reckless threats that could stay the country into world war three the comments follow a spat on sunday between the two men and which trump claimed senator corker had bad temper one endorsement ahead of a congressional election and his state of tennessee. officials in the u.s. state of california say ten people have been killed and fast moving wildfire has

without charge for a relatively long period of time and one has to question whether or not evidence has been gathered by the authorities or whether their detention was simply arbitrary the conditions of night in nigeria and places of detention are pretty bad amnesty international for example has estimated that some thousands of detainees have died mostly from disease lack of water lack of food so yes the fact that the trials are going ahead means that there is a judicial process in place it remains to be seen whether it will be fair some odd ways president robert mugabe has a shelf of his cabinet and a bit to boast of party support for his wife grace gobby resigned reassigned rather

hardware that is increasing in sophistication and also in the type of new materials that they are getting this is the policy of president moon j. in increasing the defense budget for the largest increase for several decades so it is now two point nine percent of the g.d.p. the aim is that south korea will gain the kind of military self-reliance that it can launch if it has to for example preemptive strikes against north korean missile missile bases instead of relying upon the united states forces it is all the way of boosting its own sense of deterrence giving them the build up of the north korean nuclear threat moon jay is the president is a liberal he says he wants dialogue with the north but since coming to power he has stressed that it has to go hand in hand with a stronger military very much

outbreak of world war two. and then i think if we go after that madrid was called the heroic city they fought tooth and nail if madrid fell the next poets agree franco would have won the war sooner they want to talk all about this here because it's so important not only for historians what happened here eighty years ago plays directly into the sense of outrage that many spanish people have about what's happening in catalonia right now the catalans they say are using the campaign for independence as a historical crutch to cover up their own sense of entitlement and victim hood the sense that the cats lands were the only people who suffered under franco when actually much of the rest of spain did too. in the nearby town which is nothing like as rich as much of modern catalonia the spanish flags are out in force large parts of spain suffered starvation after the war they will do it but the claims of the council are leadership for special sympathy. up in april but i feel we are sad

and worried we can't repeat history during the civil war the town square was washed in blood it wasn't only one region that was suffering history can be read in more than one way. the legacy of franco is used in catalonia for a new sort of nationalism here though in an age of new european divisions they say it is a reason for unity lawrence lee al-jazeera in the forum a valley. still ahead on the vote down on climate change denial. ending and i bomb. emissions from coal fired power and. cleared from taking a look at what's being done to bring the former i somehow back to life.
