courts today have fled turkey after dick during the coup with a helicopter is stolen by the turkish army so turkish government and turkish course have been accusing those soldiers for being in a wolves indeed quicksand which was said to be orchestrated by if it's a lucky man a cleric a turkish cleric based in pennsylvania united states so basically turkey has asked many times for extradition of those soldiers but greek courts have denied it and those soldiers have actually applied for asylum in greece the fact is as you know turkey and the e.u. have have signed a readmission emigrate refugee readmission deal a couple of years ago which stopped see it regulate immigration to europe also before that in two thousand and one turkey and greece have signed a bi littrell deal again in that term. in order to stop the irregular immigration

as turkey is a transit route between europe and asian countries and today during his campaign visit turkey's foreign minister reacted against the greek court's decision saying that it was political and he and knows that turkey suspend this by literal deal between turkey and greece it's a technical issue actually for now we haven't heard any statement by the foreign ministry but according to what we can what we can guess is that it might mean turkey will accept riyadh smits the refugees that are stems back from germany or other e.u. member states but not greece but considering that most of the refugees first settled down and greece as the first destination on their way to europe and this is a critical issue and we are expecting an official statement by the foreign ministry very or assume thanks very much indeed the latest there from istanbul. still to

president not to impose metal tariffs on his ally. the red cross says it's pulling. out of yemen because of security incidents and threats of mounting a possible offensive by saudi backed forces. deal with. return of refugees and migrants who crossed from turkey it is in retaliation for greece's refusal earlier this week to allow the extradition of. after the two thousand and sixteen. japanese prime minister has just arrived at the white house for talks with the u.s. president elect from its second visit to washington in two months his aim to get some one on one time with the president ahead of those to start talks with north korea in singapore next week it's been an official he joins us live from washington

and. a very concerned about swear japan stands amidst all these negotiations. exactly he wants to make sure that any deal is good for the whole neighborhood not just for the united states for donald trump and for his b.s. and so he wants to make sure that certain japanese priorities are considered when it comes to the discussions in singapore not least the return of alleged abductor there are many japanese citizens that the japanese see were abducted by the north koreans and also the fact that the north koreans have been developing a medium and long range ballistic missile program which puts most of japan in their flight path and so he wants to make sure that that is considered as well notions e.i.b. it's considered to be slightly more hardline on the position of north korea than perhaps see the president of south korea so he wants to make sure that his concerns are noted by donald trump the could have met at the g. seven but the fact is you see he's here for the second time in just

a couple of months shows that he is concerned is worried and wants to make sure that he steals donald trump's resolve to raise some of these important questions during the summit and i know we're hearing any more about the summit itself. well we know that the discussions that have been ongoing about the format of the summit are going pretty well you remember that when donald trump initially canceled it a white house person the white house official came out and said there is no chance of getting it back on for june the twelfth no seems that both sides are accelerating that idea there was a concern the last twenty four hours when donald trump's attorney rudy giuliani speaking in israel said that kim jong un came back on his knees begging for a summit now you'll remember that john bolton the national security advisor talked in fairly. interesting tends show we see about how north korea and libya there were

piles including the removal of moammar gadhafi the north koreans were very angry they said look there's not going to be a summit we're going to walk away from this john bolton has no been sidelined might pompey or the new secretary of state taken on a much more important role and so both sides are there they're talking about how this will all develop another concern of course is the donald trump said if things aren't going well then i will walk out perhaps what the americans are forgetting is that and the north koreans say their leader could also walk if he's not getting what he wants so i suspect there are discussions to make sure that there's enough progress we might not get a final resolution we might not get a huge treaty signing at the end of the talks in singapore but there is enough progress for a second summit and also to make sure that both leaders who can be quite volatile actually stay in the room sit down and discuss things or leave it there for the moment and selling fish in washington d.c. . united nations says she won a rights must be on the agenda at next week's summit between the u.s.

president donald trump and the north korean leader kim jong un the un's envoy head thomas when tun says too many north koreans do not have adequate access to food with ten million people relying on humanitarian aid and while he welcomed the release of three u.s. citizens last month he said hundreds more presidents should be freed the gesture of goodwill. not the opinion that that human rights dialogue will undermine the opening and the talks under the new credit at all i don't think that he said the limit. on the contrary i think that from then the p.r. side to show a willingness to open to to open up to the human rights make any sense we can give them could the ability in their intentions to engage with different stakeholders in the intention to denuclearize the price. and it will play in their favor definitely

well let's hear now from our correspondent wayne hay who has more from south korea's capital of seoul. the comments by the special reportorial were clearly an attempt to try to keep the issue of human rights in the mix as the world very much focuses on that summit between donald trump and kim jong un in singapore next week it's not known if donald trump will raise the issue of human rights when he meets with kim jong un but the special wrapper to a thinks it has to be part of the equation particularly when it comes to discussions around economic sanctions against north korea because he believes that sanctions have a direct impact on the humanitarian situation in north korea but there are others who say look you cannot raise this issue directly with kim jong un in this first summit because it is too sensitive for the north koreans and if donald trump does go ahead and talk too much about human rights in singapore then it raises the risk

of de railing the entire process of improving relationships between the two koreas and between north korea and the united states american government officials are saying that they have been raising the issue of human rights constantly in their meetings with their north korean counterparts in the lead up to that summit next week. at least eighteen people have been killed in baghdad after a stockpile of weapons exploded in the basement of a mosque ninety others were injured in wednesday's blast which destroyed surrounding buildings cars charles stratford reports now from the iraqi capital. the crater and surrounding devastation shows how powerful the explosion was in the heart of sort of a city in north eastern. homes and businesses destroyed. the area is the stronghold of the influential shia cleric. so are you a fool and a little mad that you knew they were missiles grenades and other mena shin stashed

gravely injured we don't know who to complain to is it rational to store weapons in such residential area look at the destruction and judge by yourself witnesses say mourners were using a tent after a funeral next to the mosque before the blast they say the heat all flames from cooking in the tent may have caused the weapons to explode other released a statement thursday morning calling the patience and call he said it was important for people not to take advantage of what he describes as the improved security and political situation in iraq because of the setting up of a special investigative committee into the blast and for it to release its findings within seventy two hours. baghdad. the united states as well could be announcement of a temporary cease fire with the taliban by the afghan president the holton fighting is set to coincide with the end of the muslim holy month of ramadan the government says it operations will continue against other groups like isis well jennifer gloss

has more now from kabul. president gummies announcement of a unilateral ceasefire it seems to be a calculated gamble following on his offer instead of the afghan taliban for unconditional peace talks and a seat at the political table if they came to negotiations so far that hasn't borne any fruits now but he made clear in his announcement that this ceasefire only applied to the afghan taliban afghanistan your movie that the government of the islamic republic of afghanistan announces a ceasefire from the twenty seventh of ramadan until the fifth day if you don't fit are following the historic ruling of afghan religious scholars afghan national defense and security forces will only stop offensive maneuvers against the taliban and will continue to target eisel and other foreign backed terrorist organizations and their affiliates the question is what will the taliban do now will they respect this ceasefire through one of the holiest weeks in the muslim calendar and how will

insects make up eighty percent of the species on earth through over two hundred million of them for every human they play a critical role in pollinating crops decomposing waste and supporting food chain.

but a german study from twenty seventeen has caused worldwide alarm showing that in some areas flying insect numbers of food and by over seventy five percent in the last twenty seven years and humans are to blame if development and pesticide use continue we could soon face what some experts are calling insect to get in the ecological collapse of the insect population whether to how can it would change life on earth as we know it. i mean our beloved home in new zealand where an enterprising group of scientists are bringing a dinosaur era insect back from the brink of extinction and i'm guillory to robbie in great britain to see how overlooked industrial waste lands are being turned into bug reserves.

new zealand is rich in wildlife and. because of its isolation there are hundreds of plants and animals but it won't hit that i've found nowhere else but human introduced pests have threatened and even wiped out many species one of those in the native white of congo it's one of the world's heaviest in six and has been around for one hundred ninety million years even outliving the dinosaurs they used to be found all over new zealand and now big close to extinction. these amazing aging creatures play a financial role in the go system and without them other native plants and wildlife could also disappear forever. the o'loghlin zoo has launched a set of programs to save the word of congo. starting with a new interactive exhibition that aims to excite the next generation about in six.

like i was there. featuring a giant tree model in six with educational games and puzzles bug lab shows just how fascinating effects are. double what do you like about the really. easy these are really cool. these children have never seen a way to conquer yet had they lived several generations ago they would have spotted them in the garden. reading center guide coast to the lady explains why we should all care war about on beaches in six there was a mayday and people just dismissed them and i knew that they're really really important for the environment that everything works together like that and sticks with me here how important is it to teach young people about insects whatever fits right for the other ones are going to have to be helping her and her kids and fix

and stop her coming back into the bike and really connect with them. i have an item and put a number from my view but going to be by traffic so. it's a business can be great for raising awareness for causes but it's just on the other side of the zoo that some really significant work is being done to protect and revive the threatened when a punk i'm meeting ben good with an entomologist at oakland sousa played upon good breeding program hey ben page hi you can think sorry this is where i would have kept. seeing. this is one of the world's only industrialized in sixth conservation programs providing the optimum lines to temperature conditions which upon go to these are the ones that you read so about some adult would appear in here it's incredible. they one of the heaviest and six in the world this isn't at all funny so they don't get too much bigger than us

which upon the can weigh up to seventy grams that's the equivalent of three small bites to think i can hold her hopes are big shot wow. that's incredible do they do they fly not so they're totally flightless they're not really good kind of they're nocturnal so they're very very well adapted for. predators memos and just now on the mount says that when i started to die out they were considered really common and so the middle part of the ice in hundreds and their humans extremely disturbed misreads a new zealand and one to a century and i split start you heard from one island for the birds the factor being credible why would you say. they have all functions to play in the ecology so it's foliage does mess up players and i was the ground. for a species which i read about in books as a kind of star i feel privileged to be where. the breeding program started in two

thousand and twelve with. only twelve since then over three and a half thousand in six have been released onto a few key islands which still provide the ideal conditions for them to flourish today bends readying a batch for transport. so they will be the easiest ones to learn because it allows. so this whole thing comes out like hardness that ensures touring and the surprise that you want to be taking to the island yeah once they've got a bit of sauce on them they're a little bit more a boston but if you're going to choose to decide to move just pump you know if you're not sure it was you know yeah that's. right that's the first fail so i just tell here. what's the success rate of fuel rating program it's about eighty percent of all right which is really really good. to see me upset everybody in the uk are sure that. that's what it was going to come to

the right. sense everything that's going to really smart it's better here. we found three hundred eighty five ways have packed and ready to move it's time to head to the docks. we're off to a private island in the how to keep gulf one of four still hospitable to west. it's a one hour boat journey from the mainland. right ensuite noid to the island's onus of that conservationists who have given their land over to the protection of native species and. yeah yeah yeah right and in. fact have you always been involved in the releases as much as possible in two thousand and three brought in sue finally breed the island of invasive mammals like

rats stoats and fair. cats making it a safe. we've never really looked at their selves as i mean as more as guardians of this wonderful place that we had privilege of growing up and how does releasing the one upon going to the island actually fit into all of your plans sorry they're critical to the health of the all and nothing exists in our selection so the way to punk one of the missing links for them not only to go through this is part of the jigsaw. crucial piece of the landscape here the young in sixty will need to be handled carefully. selecting the first exports for their new home. how do you choose the thoughts where you release wes's yes so this is one of our early sites here and so we want to look for places got lots of modern spots and some where it's got lots and lots of good food plants as well.

oh my goodness this is incredible how old is this tree just needed to be about eight hundred years old. you can see the pellet from one of the wood a plant that's not so good ways there around sometimes to take it presents if you can actually find them and that's all this is really important for the ecosystem and yes let's hope it fill in the transfer that is recycling with eating and that's good for them in the soil help finding these droppings isn't totally a sign of a healthy environment but also evidence of an old ready thriving population that was sure the bulk of new comers this is kind of the ideal spot for the best place in the wall and for them to be released into this is good heaps and heaps and heaps of holes for when opponent has one of their preferred food plants they can go from this tree industry as we ride across the whole forest syracuse but a huge crown on. the west who will be released at night when they are most active

this peak tafe will help us find this spot in the dark later on. i can't believe they have trusted me with phase one of. our ah the start of the release like here yet. you can see a much more active when. this one i'm going to release more on this trial now with more. so how important is it for you to reestablish what a pond a hero it's often because of just giving back something that probably would have been here years and years ago hopefully the droppings well into the forest.

for once and not on. your skin real soft touch on the back. so how much longer do you think you're retiring may fourth of releases for all but a few more laces today and then after that it's mainly just monitoring the populations. which upon the now exist on for islands as invasive predators us lowly removed from other locations that number is expected to rise the hope is that one day later punk could return to the mainland with a wants thrived. there is certainly the bill for change here in new zealand while people and institutions are taking action in support of native species the government has even committed to rid the country of human introduced pests by twenty fifteen there is still

a way to go but at least the future is now looking optimistic. plants reproductive cells are found in its pollen. when an insect visits a flower to feed off its nectar pollen rubs off from the male stayman on to the insect and sticks to the has on its body. as insect moves on to another flower grains of pollen are transferred to the female stigma that's when pollination happens so that seeds and fruit produced. around seventy five percent of all crop species require pollination by an animal often insects including beads but also other animals such as birds and bats but two out of five insect pollinators a disappearing.
