support off the kurds the demonstrations blamed the u.s. for the deaths of turkish soldiers and civilians. first day to the president. described in their talks as open and productive both sides measure emphasized and during the nation ship despite the recent tension. while the u.s. and turkey have not been seeing eye to eye. i apologize we don't have that report. but we do have one from our correspondent. who's. it was a press conference that was very heavy on rhetoric but very light when it came to details of the messaging that came out from the joints meeting between us are said rex tillerson and his counterparts milou jewish or grew was one where they emphasize the strategic relationship the enduring friendship and the very strong

partnership between the united states and sarky but fail to say exactly how they were going to resolve the deep issues that the contradictions are all posing views between washington and now there are those deep issues essentially can be summed up into two main problem areas the first is syria the princes supporting the kurdish militia or the why p.g. turkey considers them a terrorist organization because they've been attacking turkey protecting the past few weeks launching rockets at turkish soil and killing at least seven civilians the other issue is the presence of such an agreement in the united states the person that psyche accuses to be behind the failed coup attempt of two thousand and sixteen it's also the americans hand them over the americans have so far rejected it not so strong words in terms of friendship whether that is an attempt to patch up something that is irreparable or whether the next few weeks will show us some

sort of time jubal action taken between the two allies to resolve this issue will have to wait and see. if they want to other news now and the world has moved towards the brink of a significant conflict that's the warning from the chairman of the annual munich security conference of policymakers and experts have gathered in the german city to talk about global security challenges organizers say the role of the european union will be one of key issues for discussion the gulf crisis north korea and the conflict in ukraine are also expected to be discussed our correspondent hashim i have bought is joining us live from munich they are all very big issues hussian what can we expect on them. elizabeth the report which was recently released by the munich security conference which usually sets the stone with the tone for which way the debates are going to go during the next three days talks about the european union concerns about whether the united

states of america is committed to maintaining a strong relationship with its traditional ally to the point experts are concerned the united states of america is undermining the international political order it helped create more than four decades ago they say that the with the trump administration of the rise of populist movements they're just concerned that the growing mistrust in multilateral institutions like nato like the u.n. could do bowed to the political order and get everyone to uncharted territory a point of no return where no one would be able to find a good direction so this is one of the issues which was going to be debated. in the coming days for some a the british prime minister is going to try to negotiate security deal with the e.u. bloc when britain officially departs from the e.u. in march two thousand and nineteen but the e.u. is saying that the british are not giving us a sense of bloody about what kind of relationship they want to maintain

particularly when we come to trade deals in the near future so this is going to be one of the contentious issues. you have also a stalemate in east ukraine with this new proposal to deploy twenty thousand united nations peacekeepers but you know this is something they can do only when you have a consensus among the key players there is also the growing tension between israel and iran israel has been saying over the past few days that iran is trying to maintain a permanent military base in northern syria which has been always considered as a red line by the israeli government so we'll we will hear today from the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu which has said he's going to make the case against iran so we have a way of quite interesting issues which are going to be debated over the coming days what hashem thank you very much for that joining us live from munich there. now to south africa where the new president civil rights is set to give his first

state of the nation address and expected to appoint a new cabinet around impose a pledge not to disappoint south africa says he took over from his predecessor jacob zuma problematic in reports from johannesburg it's true. it's taken more than nine years but several ram oppose a fine so he wants the leadership of south africa and his nomination members of his party the ruling a.n.c. have been dancing and cheering i do believe that when one is elected in this type of position you basically become a servant of the people of south africa and i will seek to execute that task with humility with faithfulness. and with dignity as well but within minutes hence one big hurdle the new president must face we don't have a jacob zuma problem we have in n.c.

problem. mr mom of course i wish you strength but no we will hold you accountable and i will see you in twenty nineteen on the ballot box some of the opposition is refusing to recognize his presidency we just want to put it on the record speaker that we cannot be part of an illegitimate illegal process. also has to hold together a ruling party which has seen support plummet during the last election voters have high expectations of their new leader i am. even sure. to. tell she was there because i must admit you. are not helping much and run opposer is facing a struggling economy high unemployment and allegations of widespread corruption the

a comic boom melissa. he rolls from relative obscurity as an a can they make to president of the solvent region before being appointed foreign minister who's an deputy prime minister his departure fulls the current wave of unrest on a national state of emergency doubt and last. ethiopia's lodges regions only on omaha to have witnessed must have the most russians in recent months with protest as mainly made up of youths calling for political and economic reform and an end to state corruption. in recent weeks the government doesn't list thousands of opposition supporters from jail but a protest of continued years of unaccountability and at this isolation of the country's politics of push if you appear to tipping point injustice repression on luck of minute full democracy some say you have instilled a sense of despondency particularly among with your peers youth driving many to view protests as the only viable means of bringing about change their own going

disturbances are also led to dip divisions within the governing coalition with some of the few players powerful and it's coming to see the prime minister as weak and locking in for coups hyla modi i'm surprised his ignition may not satisfy all of if you press protesters. it's us but mohammed atta well just. well let's look at the events that led up to the finance resignation in two thousand and fifteen hundreds of ethiopians were killed by security forces and anti-government protests in two of the most populous regions of all media and. those protests spread across the country leading the government to impose a ten month state of emergency in october two thousand and sixteen but the demonstrations continued into this here forcing the ethiopian government to release more than six thousand political prisoners. tong dogma is the address of a correspondent for the economist and he says any change will be dependent on her

differently. i saw gary coleman go in barry's life where he was one certain fruits he was one shoulder gifts he was one that was going on different holidays and different tours seen a party merging with fire with all the young people if you ask me i would say that jerry will have suffered abuse at the hands of barry we've also spoken to more than one witness with even more direct knowledge because it's so sensitive an actor is reading one man's words on a few occasions gary was in the same bad battery would abuse one of course then turn over and then abuse each other you are absolutely certain that gary speed was abused by the now one hundred percent well not in on point nine percent because you literally both in the bed at the same time. you don't actually witness site wise but basically the same process is happening to the other person in the trial that's just ended gary speed was named as one of four players coached by bin l.

of the week and it's to federal agents on their knees and surrounded by armed men they were forced to read a statement made up of that he's ations about the treatment of people by mexican security forces. actions like dropping kidnapping and disappearing people with the respect to meet their women or children in the video is really shocking image scary because it's rare for federal agents to be treated like this on tape almost in a way that's reminiscent of terrorist propaganda in part the statement the agents were forced to say that the cartel respected the as the authorities and that's why they were still alive but now it seems that the governing could have changed their mind the attorney general's office has released a statement saying the remains have been found that could possibly be the agents and that they're know for sure within three to five days now the gunmen are identified in the video but this state with the two agents were kidnapped is in the

control of the new generation cartel it's going to be one of the most powerful in mexico and it's been very militant it gets authorities in its territory in two thousand and fifteen its members shot down an army helicopter killing ten soldiers this is more bad news for the government violence has risen to record levels even higher than what was considered the worst period of the drug war and events like this only reinforce the impression of authorities failing to take control. now people around the want to celebrating the lunar new year ushering in the dog this is the scene in myanmar took to the strange foundation and astray in the occasion was at a sydney opera house. well central to the chinese new year festivities is the ancient practice of fame shway more than a billion chinese hope it will help them be prosperous in the year ahead but despite the popularity the practice is increasingly being questioned in modern
