10:03 am
helping to solve the situation in the middle east it is destabilizing it and it can wipe out the prospect of peace a mediocre bulis utilitarian to tune in could. the u.s. decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel has caused outrage in the whole world it has caused disappointment and it is an irresponsible step to take it as a result the heightened tensions are obvious put in an add on also discussed bilateral issues including trade to resume and joint energy projects relations between uncut on more school have come a long way since november two thousand and fifteen when turkey doand a russian fighter jet the two didn't see eye to eye on most issues regarding syria but still have differences on the future role of president bashar al assad and the issue of syrian kurdish fighters the wife e.g. put in began his wall when chip in syria the fust time the russian president was that the country since the start of the war the early seven years ago he was
10:04 am
greeted by senior officers and warmly embraced by president. putin's forces have been helping his troops is two thousand and fifteen when the syrian government was on the brink of collapse in a speech put in declared victory over what he described as terrorists and amounts to a partial pullout of his soldiers from city. to the general command i give this order russia's military presence in syria has come to an end the motherland awaits you friends safe journey i thank you for your service put in also pledged to continue to support syria militarily by keeping some of these forces on the ground here then departed for the egyptian capital there he met president of the fatah. the leaders have been strengthening ties in recent years putting n.c.c. also signed a deal on nuclear power the growing ties between russia and the second largest recipient of u.s. military aid after israel egypt could potentially strained relations between cairo
10:05 am
and washington and yet another sign of putting attempts to expand russia's influence across the middle east mohammed at all just. want to say this all we can speak not to mention john who's a security analyst and a columnist. he joins us now from istanbul on skype welcome to the program that's and p. did and do and it's talked about them about initially they clearly see this is mutual relationship to be highly beneficial for both countries. just write this rice or i mean put to mr tanqueray you know it's a part of regional his regional tour giving the message of mission accomplished for a russian led coalition fight against isis and it's time to turn over a nearly if so this was the message hope is a regional tour and the prime object therefore his visit to ankara and meeting with president calderon is what to celebrate most close the opening ties with uncorrupt
10:06 am
particularly in the fields of foreign policy and regional security ended giving the message that turkey will be the primary actor russia will continue cooperating inside syria and in the region and also i have to emphasize this fact that this was their target meeting in amount and eighty one in the past year meaning that we see very very close cooperation right this defense deal russia supplying four hundred surface to air missiles turkey is a nato country a country presuming this sort of deal will be of concern to nato wouldn't. that's right that's right i mean in this methinks you yesterday the president turkish president are there on an asset this controversial purchase of russian missile systems. say thirty finalization of the deal will be done next week of course. nato stronger or pauses this say i'm claiming that it's comparable
10:07 am
a bit it's into greater air defense system and that turkey will use this systems as a stand alone systems but at the end of the day the purchase of this s four hundred will be a big blow for turkey's tysabri to nato in particular and turkey spiced with the western security block in general and so what implications does have for that block and what does it mean which direction russia and turkey are going on this. i think four s. or four hundred deal in the outcome the delivery of those systems into turkey is not the. i mean issue at hand the process the talks the quantity issues of the debates or turkey or spirit trades or four hundred four hundred are extremely important and these are good for i think russia and president putin with this is a debate about it for honduras i think moscow has been trying to make turn
10:08 am
a change it's a traditionalist said nato centric your strategic orientation so this was an moscow's prime objective this change russia has been trying to create a sort of in terror of debate within nato and western security a bloc that was at the end of the day. because that bottom up crisis within nato or i've met. we're going to leave it there but we do appreciate your perspective on this fascinating talking to you thanks very much matt and good gen there just appreciate. now amnesty international is accusing european governments of being complicit in the abuse of thousands of refugees in their efforts to curb migration in a report the human rights group says that the use policy of containment shows little care for the consequences for those trapped in libya one example given is
10:09 am
the funding by the governments of the libyan coast guard to intercept migrants at sea and the these refugees are then sent to detention centers where they suffer abuse and exploitation there are nearly twenty thousand people in overcrowded buildings the report also says the e.u. is aware of corruption within libya's coastguard accusing it of working with human smugglers. let's speak to cruz over saudi who's a visiting senior scholar at the national university of singapore joins us via skype. so this is a very distressing report one would imagine the e.u. are aware of these suggestions these allegations. yes and i'm sure they are. they have been migrants and been crossed into europe for the last many years since the war and it is possibly europe's most difficult problem today and so the report that is international i think comes out of a very opportune time for the european union to seriously address these problems
10:10 am
once and for all now is not to me seen as to whether they are willing and able to do that well exactly and the fact that these refugees are sent to detention centers where it's very clear that they suffer abuse and exploitation and the coast guard seem to be complicit in the smuggling of these refugees these migrants what can the e.u. do about. well one way is to. craft better and i will aid governance we do know based on the report that there has been technical and financial assistance that's being given to the libyan coast guard so that they can patrol the i mean it's better but money is not enough and neither is twenty one has to have stronger oversight and we do know from aid mechanisms that sometimes this is sorely lacking between the aid giver and the aid receiver so it's not
10:11 am
a matter of fact and better and since. the owner of country is the european union gives money in assistance to a cut like libya that they're also there every step of the way to make sure that the money's being put to good use and better of that they are not only giving out technical assistance but they're also pulled in oral speech that you. know. we're in this or that does not seem to be happening. i think the orders getting a bit dodgy that we will try to proceed on this. isn't this just a wholesale failure of the international community of which includes governments which includes meter organizations like us perhaps the these despite all the challenges and despite all the dangers despite all of these migrants just keep on coming. right sure well i wouldn't be too harsh on either the media or the international community i mean one is that i don't think they do
10:12 am
national community or even the world has not faced the scale of a crisis like this i mean look us what the what's not in this part of the world and in myanmar for example i mean who would have guessed who would have known that you would have you know half a million rohingya has crossed into bomb edition a matter of weeks and the media i think is doing a darn good job given restrictions in keeping this issues of the forefront off of the public the general public so in that sense you know let's let's build that more a little bit more kind to where there is the guy at the job that you guys are doing but having said that sure there's a lot more that can be done and a lot more that should be done and i think one is that the european union which is a very strong regional body should really sit down and come to grips with this problem that it's not going to go away now you mentioned you know
10:13 am
why the migrants keep coming despite all these problems anyone who has migrated and anyone who has left their home know that the uncertainties are there the risks are there but also these small ferments are fueled by hope no matter how hollow spin that hope might be i come from a migrant background myself and especially when the background is not of libya failing state where you don't know what more is going to bring you don't know how your children are going to grow up what future they have the little hope that you have it's what's going to fuel this this movement and that i think we should continue to expect and that the european union should be even more prepared for this fueled by the persian perhaps the crews the resort are pretty sure at this thanks very much indeed. well tens of thousands of african asylum seekers are facing deportation from israel after parliament approved
10:14 am
a bill allowing the government to force them out of the country the detention center which houses some of them will also be closed within months or false reports now tel aviv salaam says she doesn't want to live in israel anymore but leaving would be worse the neighbors have screened off the comical entrance to her television apartment keeping her and other african residents out of sight this year a new government policy saw her and her husband lose twenty percent of their salaries only to be returned if they leave israel they've both been imprisoned in the native eritrea returning there they say would be impossible the alternative rwanda unsafe i don't have any choice i'm going to get i can go to war and because they're small. sorry i want to be in jail whether he kill me. i don't want to go back to africa that choice jail or a third country widely thought to be rwanda is precisely the one israel's prime minister is now presenting as government policy benjamin netanyahu recently told
10:15 am
cabinet colleagues that he'd secured an international deal allowing for enforced deportations of more than thirty five thousand africans. it would also speed the closure of the isolated hole at the tension center in the southern negev desert thousands of african migrants have been sent here in what campaign groups call a deliberate policy of making their lives as miserable as possible even running at maximum capacity of a law could only house about ten percent of the african asylum seekers in this country this policy these announcements are much more targeted at those who live in communities like this part of israel's open policy of trying to force them to leave salaam says she was brought to israel against her will by people smugglers extorting her family she's found work as a translator and advocacy group assaf her asylum application has she says gone unanswered since it was filed two years ago and it's not the only one they slowly shift is what israel has the right and a duty to say who is a refugee and or is not however israel still hasn't done so we definitely say that
10:16 am
not every sudanese or it deserves the status of refugees but the issue here is that out of forty thousand of them only ten have been recognized as refugees israel's prime minister defines the rest as illegal infiltrators his reported deal with the rwandan president would see israel pay five thousand u.s. dollars to rwanda for every deportee accepted and of course game we are here on a mission and the mission is to give southern tell of the back to the citizens of israel israeli government itself deliver the migrants to this already deprived neighborhood but now it remains their precarious home well the message only gets louder with every repetition they aren't welcome here are a force that i'll just tell of it. the palestinian president is seeking to rally middle eastern countries against the u.s. recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital and i'm going to buses medic leader abdel fattah el-sisi agreed to consult with other countries including jordan and saudi arabia a spokesman for about said action would be taken soon to preserve the rights of the
