foreign policy chief. arrived in brussels a little bit earlier and he said that really one of the main focuses for the e.u. foreign ministers meeting there today is discussions on turkey and foreign ministers will be talking about what sort of relationship the e.u. wants to have with turkey because there is a sense that has been growing over the past few weeks and months that some of turkey's actions are simply incompatible with values held by the e.u. not actions in syria in libya it's the role it's playing in an oil drilling dispute in the mediterranean its recent decision to turn the fear museum back into a mosque there have also been of course tensions flaring between paris and ankara where recently france accused turkey a turkish warship of being aggressive towards a french naval vessel in the mediterranean that was part of a nato patrol off the coast of libya so many in the u.s.

saying is are these sort of actions compatible with evaluation if they're not what should we be doing and that's why you foreign ministers will be discussing a series of steps possibly for example placing imposing more sanctions on turkey there are already some sanctions on ankara over this or drilling dispute or turkey drilling for oil and gas in the mediterranean just off the coast of cyprus but some e.u. foreign ministers might press for more sanctions we know that something that france has talked about and other countries such as germany of also raised the question of perhaps a suspending all negotiations on turkey's accession to the. monitoring developments for us from paris thanks very much natasha. well another thing on the agenda today is hong kong where more than half a 1000000 people have cast their ballots in the 1st ever democratic primary elections the vote will decide which candidates will stand in legislative council
