a ship surveying the seabed for gas and oil reserves greece says the area where the turkish fleets ease overlaps its continental shelf. president issued a warning to greece on monday which has been followed by a shock rebuke from athens known as. the non muslim no not a lot of greece is throwing itself into a chaos that it cannot get out of as of now greece will be responsible for all negative developments that may take place in the region and it will be the only country to suffer damages it would be useful for a greek neighbors to know as we know that those who throw greece on the past of the turkish fleet will be nowhere to be seen tomorrow in the event of trouble that may emerge. but we are witnessing the attempt to implement expansionist aims against neighbors and allies we are witnessing the display of neo ottoman ideology expansion and control of the mediterranean we are witnessing the undermining of the stability of the entire region with blatant and absolutely can dimmable violations

of international law even to the detriment of 2 member states of the european union greece and cyprus let's bring in c.n.n. kosovo any stumble for assessing them the german foreign minister has now arrived in turkey it seems the ball now is in ankara scored is there any indication that turkey is ready to sit down and talk. well fully is sold for until after the. german foreign minister and greek foreign minister had this press survey haven't heard from the turkish officials but as far as i can tell is that it will not be that much happy about these statements because i have spoken to some experts and they tell me that it is perceived as germany. as a bit bipartisan country who is trying to mediate between 2 neighbors sounded a little bit of backing the greek side this is how anchor are probably perceived

today's talks so these will be on the table of course. and we will be hearing about these details when german and turkish foreign ministers begin their joint press says the church believes that greece is provoking tension in the eastern mediterranean actually this is how both neighbors have been accusing each other but the main dispute between the 2 is if 1st about this continental shelf issue territorial waters because greece claims that. even the islands that belong to greece there are thousands of islands between turkey and greece and most of them are beloved to greece and reese claims that these islands can have individual exclusive economic zones but turkey claims that this doesn't happen unless a country is an archipelago ark archipelago country. and that there turkey always

gives the example of the exclusive economic zone agreement between spain and. cork and the exclusive economic zone agreement that france says there are islands in between and those islands are not considered to have individual exclusive economic zones but only the continental territory is perceived also. another issue that turkey and greece has been at loggerheads is the turkish side for you to turkey recognize the northern cyprus as an independent state and turkey claims that all those that are all resources all those resources. found discovered by the greek side the turkish side also has rights on that then those should be shared equally this is what turkey is against also another thing is about the islands the crete and maize islands for instance maize islands is a couple almost 2 kilometers far from territory an atoll that but it's 580

kilometers to the greece that's why turkey say's all those activities that greece has been conducted around manus island is illegal there should be in this these islands cannot have individual it cannot mix zones this is what turkey has been claiming but one more thing that is actually. rising the tension between the 2 countries is that if france and the u.a.e. has been backing greece in the latest tension yesterday turkey's president don made a call to greece saying that if you come up front with the pressure with the backing of some actors hinting that that's france and the u.a.e. you will be left alone and you will not see them protecting you when you're in trouble turkey france and the u.a.e. have been a lot of their hands especially in the bath after 2 kids signed a maritime zone deal in a couple of months ago they are totally backing vocals that sides of the libyan

conflict probably all these are right now on the table between 2 foreign ministers but we're going to be learning more whether the sentient is going to be mentally to germany especially after being initiated by german chancellor america or will it turn out to be a military conflict between the 2 neighbors we will see thank you very much see them for their sin them with the need to say from a turkey. in other world news the world health organization has declared africa polio free the continent's last case of naturally occurring polio was reported in northern nigeria 4 years ago the announcement is a major step in the 30 year long campaign to eradicate the disease worldwide. we must continue to protect africa's children against all forms of polio and other childhood diseases and shoring they're protected by even

an investigation because a range of causes may have triggered his illness the longtime opponent of prizes invited to a putin remains in a coma after collapsing on thursday soon after he had a cup of tea. let's bring you some breaking news now on iran and the president of the u.n. security council indonesia says it's not in the position to take further action on a u.s. bid to trigger a return of all u.n. sanctions on iran because there is no consensus in the 15 member body as you recall 13 council members had expressed reservations and opposition in fact on friday to resumption of sanctions on iran arguing that the u.s. had. basically does that it's with the u.s. move was void given that the u.s. had canceled its participation in the 2015 iran nuclear deal meanwhile any

iran the head of its atomic energy agency says talks with the head of the u.n. nuclear watchdog have been constructive rafael grossi is in tehran pushing to visit 2 sides suspected of storing undeclared nuclear material the u.s. has been pushing for the reimposition of u.n. sanctions for alleged violations of the nuclear deal which washington left 2 years ago iran's president says if the u.s. wants a deal it should return to the 2015 agreement. certainly iran has shown over the past few decades that if it carries has been created against us iran has shown that it does not bow down to demands that reach beyond its commitments this is certain we make decisions based on our national sovereignty and interests but we are committed to what we have promised and based on that we have held negotiations the i.a.e.a. is also acting based on agreements that it has made with iran. in the united staes

wars so allan donald trump has blamed the f.d.a. in the past for impeding the rollout of vaccines for political reasons i imagine is not going to be happy about this apology from stephen hamm. well convalescent plasma has a very short but very dramatic public history you're right on saturday donald trump tweeted out saying that the people at the f.d.a. deep state or whoever were holding back some treatments that could help cover it and then on sunday here at the white house with the f.d.a. commissioner by his side he announced that he was giving emergency authorization to use convalescent plasma saying that it had a 35 percent success rate that was backed up in that news conference by stephen had no a number of scientists came up with the figures and said look there have been no big tests of this you can't stand by that 35 percent figure there is something very wrong here steven hahn has now admitted that perhaps he overstated the benefits of

convalescent plasma because there have been a new big tests carried out nor big surveys so donald trump probably isn't terribly pleased because there is the feeling that he pushed through this announcement to give him a political when coming on sunday the day before the republican national convention and we know that the president has invested a lot of time and a lot of money and trying to find not just therapeutics but also a vaccine for covert ninety-nine has talked often about how he believes will be a vaccine before the election although the scientists still say that they are working to the original timeline 7 which would mean much later this year or perhaps early next year before we start to get that so i think stephen han has in the last 24 hours reflected in what he said and realize that it does damage not just to his credibility but also to the f.d.a. the food and drug administration and this time with so many therapeutics and possible cures being touted that is something that the f.d.a.

can't afford to do in the eyes of the american public thank you for that alan fischer live in washington. south korea meanwhile has reported 280 new coronavirus cases on tuesday as it continues to tackle a recent surge in infections and the government's efforts to contain the virus have now become entangled in a conflict with some religious groups robin wright has more from seoul. hundreds of new cases in this surge are being linked to the controversial rightwing sudden jail church in seoul deeply opposed to the liberal government it continue to pack in worshippers promoting the conspiracy theory that the virus is a terror attack by north korea against its members. a member of our church said some hand sanitizer was delivered that smelled more like chemicals than alcohol now i see so many infections. floating social distancing rules church members led by

a church service but we don't want any further spread of the disease at the moment i'm going to move them on and 6 months on churches like the one run by pastor jay so are still holding online services it's hard because it's important for churches to have congregations and having a meal together afterwards financially it's also difficult given the reduction in individual donations but they are hardships that the majority of churches accept. the saddest thing is the friction between the government and some churches which is led to all churches being criticized the should be mrs of hope it's wrong to fight like this. but some highly politicized churches seem happy to mix religion with anti government rhetoric to fire up their followers robert bride al-jazeera sold. authorities in gaza have announced the 1st few cases of community transmission of the virus a mass has to carry 48 hour knocked down in the territory long lines formed as
