may find disturbing. it's a story more than a 100 years for turkey it's a chapter that's to and but for the united states and other members of the international community turkey must apologize for the events that started in 1915 that was when ottoman turks. deported hundreds of thousands of armenians from eastern and atoll year to the syrian desert but what happened and how many were then killed remains disputed many historians say more than a 1000000 armenians lost their lives turkish officials deny any systematic killings took place saying it was a time of war and the death toll has been exaggerated turkey has always been angered by government describing the event that began in 1915 during the ottoman empire as a genocide the armenian genocide remembrance day that takes place in armenia and is

observed by many armenians abroad on april 24th every year is why this scene in turkey as a western propaganda aimed at a time issue in the country's reputation turkey has very strong objections to the use of the word genocide those see it as being linked to the holocaust even though these are 2 separate atrocities 30 years apart so that's not really the case they also worry about some kind of legal claims against them but again these are tragic events that occurred more than 100 years ago so that's very unlikely the announcement by biden comes at a delicate moment in u.s. turkish relations ties between the 2 nato are lies have been strained for years. in 2020 the trump administration imposed sanctions against turkey over the spur chase of russian weapons systems but trump and turkey's president reza. managed to

prevent an asian and described the relationship as friendly but when biden was elected president turkish officials expressed concerns that might get worse during the u.s. presidential election campaign last year when biden was democratic candidate he described as an autocrat and over the last few months the by the administration has pressed to improve its record and human rights with biden's latest move the u.s. joins dozens of countries that have declared the atrocities against armenians more than a century ago an act of genocide him about our al-jazeera let's take a closer look at president biden statement each year on this day we remember the lies of all those who died in the awesome an era on meaning genocide and we commit ourselves to preventing such an atrocity from ever again occurring on april 24th

9151 and a half 1000000 on manias were deported massacred all marched to their deaths in a campaign of extermination we honor the victims of med which is a term used by all means well the armenian prime minister nicole passion and has welcomed the u.s. announcement calling it an important day for all armenians he says the u.s. as once again demonstrated its on wavering commitment to protecting human rights and universal values let's go to alan fisher's live for us in washington d.c. allan no previous u.s. presidents have made such a declaration so why has biden dunnit. ronald reagan claimed close in 1801 but if you go back just exactly a year ago on the 24th of april last year joe biden who was then candidate joe biden said that he would recognize what happened to the armenians as genocide remember back in 2019 both the house and the senate here in washington on

a bipartisan basis that cleared what happened in that area just in 1915 as a genocide joe biden believes that by doing this it will stop future atrocities of this kind but the statement is coached in terms of trying not to upset turkey too much e.m.c. the ottoman era genocide you take it i'm talking about how not to cast blame and how it's important that both countries look to the future we know that joe biden and the president of the one do not get on well that goes back to joe biden this time as vice president in the obama administration there have been tensions between the united states and turkey over recent years there was always a feeling that presidents were unwilling to go this far and declare what happened to the armenians as genocide because turkey was

a close ally it straddles europe and the middle east there were u.s. air bases in turkey they really didn't want to upset ankara this decision by joe biden to make this announcement has been welcomed by nancy pelosi the speaker of the house saying her hearts are full of joy this will not help relations between ankara and washington d.c. . many thanks for that alan fischer giving us reaction from washington d.c. well turkey has rejected the announcement on twitter the foreign minister said words cannot change or rewrite history we have nothing to learn from anybody on our own past but it's cool opportunism is the greatest betrayal to peace and justice when tani reject the statement based solely on populism let's go to cinemas so do our correspondent in istanbul talk us through the reaction coming in from techie. well in actually the officials in ankara have been expecting such

a statement at the finish and by the u.s. president joe biden especially given the latest signals from the washington authorities it was expected and it was all over the media everybody was discussing that even after the last night's talk between the 2 presidents some government officials presented to us had had expressed reaction on twitter for to turks perspective this is not a genocide them but rather saddening situation that's happened during the world war world war war one and that's why we heard every side of the government of opposition leaders and government allies oh we also heard from the turkish are many and. the patriarch of the turkish armenian mr much shelby and also delivered an interview to the turkish turkish state agency yesterday he said that bringing

this issue to the parliament for 4 decades hasn't served 42 nation 2 people our main is and turks get to get close each other but it's actually increase the tension between 2 people and a 3rd parties should actually contribute on peace efforts that was what he sat in his interview and also today turkey's president sent a letter to the 85th patrick of the turkish air many community saying that turkish shares all this is sadness or turkish shares the sadness of their main armenian people due to the incidents that happened during world war 2 and turkey is committed to building peace and doing whatever necessary but turkey supports the peaceful coexistence so basically. turkey rejects the idea or

definition of genocide but considers that this is something that happened not not only because of all our manias but the turkish territory jess that our main eons back then when russia invaded the autumn and soil in history under told us some of them were actually menu plated by the other. armenian in groups like the facts and they acted they guess the ultimate government that the time this is why it happened it's a sad situation and many other people died this is what the turkish rhetorical actual the ses but apparently uncle raise upset because they were trying to enhance the by literal ties with washington that has been strained for a while but apparently things will be a little bit difficult to improve the ties back with washington ok many thanks for that cynical giving us the take from turkey. turning now to the corona virus pandemic and the worsening crisis in india where

after days of searching and sea crews found this debris in waters near the island of bali a torpedo launched pipe a bottle with grease sponges and even bought appears to be a primera this debris is crucial evidence but also cause for concern. with the discovery of evidence of equipment from the submarine this is the proof that there are cracks in the submarine juta heavy pressure the carolina girl 0402 was initially classified as missing authorities now say they are certain it sank crews found an oil spill with a radius of 16 kilometers in the search area. and the vessel could be lying as deep as 850 meters below the ocean surface exceeding what the submarine was built to withstand 53 people were on board experts say it's very unlikely any have survived my x.

information in my experience would say the time for searching is past the time for for risk us. now is the time to understand what happened in tunisia navy ships are on the scene and other countries including australia singapore and the us are assisting with the search days after the submarine lost contact indonesian authorities say they are committed to finding it and trying to start the evacuation process but they warn it will be risky and complicated when the search began navy officials said if they had been a total power outage on board the crew only had enough oxygen to last 72 hours that time has now passed. we cannot say how the victims are because we haven't found them until now so the conditions of the victims cannot be determined the submarine was built in the late 1970 s. and completed a 2 year refit in south korea in 2012 now after 40 years the karen and 4

bridge passes maritime vessels naval vessels merchant vessels to the russian and ukrainian ports in the sea of thought from 9 o'clock tonight russia says ukrainian naval vessels and 3rd party nations vessels will not be allowed through here and that will stop the ukrainian navy reaching east and ukrainian ports it is essentially another way of russia cementing control over this area they're not supposed to be able to cement control here because there is a treaty allowing russia between russia and ukraine giving them equal access to the sea of hours off and this is clearly in breach of the treaty the exercises the well russia says they're going to close access until october until the end of october that's an extremely long time for naval exercises to go on for let's get the perspective from the ukrainian side strath that is at the port of not in power.

well the ukrainians as you can imagine a very angry about this they called it a gross violation of the right to freedom of navigation and a violation of the u.n. convention of the law of the sea they see it as being a provocation by russia only adding to the kind of tension that we've seen in the region in the last couple of weeks around that vast troop deployment by the russians along ukrainian borders and around crimea this will to the eyes off see in the strait is supposed to be on a joint jurisdiction when the russians and ukrainians according to a 2003 agreement now cover days ago we were out with the marriott poll maritime that work with the ukrainian navy and they were saying that that agreement was signed in 2003 and he's now almost redundant because of course we've had a conflict that started in 2014 and russia annexed crimea so the ukrainians are feeding weakened policy if you like to to act and that's despite obviously great

international support in rhetoric at least calling for the russians to to maintain freedom of navigation in these very strategically important waters for both countries. in iraq most camps for displaced people are struggling to provide shelter aid workers estimate that more than 100000 people have been made homeless sharing the coronavirus pandemic and no money has been provided to rebuild homes destroyed during is a fighting some a binge of aid reports from camp in northern iraq. i am not sure how to take care of his 5 children this tense all they have after being made homeless for the 2nd time the iraqi government has shut down most camps for the people displaced by the fighting and of 1000 an hour left with no shelter. my house was destroyed by an asteroid. i lived in a camp for 3 years they asked me to leave the last one and i heard about this camp

i have been here for 4 months 12 year old son his abdominal comes but he and many others don't have access to health care at this remote camp in the northern self-governing kurdish region. we believe the iraqi government's decision to close the camps isn't military but a political decision kurdish regional government opened its doors we don't benefit from the refugees there are a burden on the carriage of government but we look after them for humanitarian reasons. aid workers say 70 percent of the people here are in debt many for trying to find food in a home it's kitchen there's barely enough to eat. living here is also difficult but i don't have a choice i can only buy potatoes rice eggplant we can't afford meat i haven't tasted meat for months since of the camps for shut down 300 families have arrived at the house and charm you to camp those in charge say the government is intentionally making matters worse to force out people. the iraqi government did

not include them in the food baskets for displaced families and help from n.g.o.s is not enough for all the world food program gives money which is not sufficient concern and fear is that the situation is going to become more difficult for the last 2 months there have been no electricity in this camp which is home to about 5000 people but even in a day's conditions people find life easier than what it is when they try to go back and rebuild their homes which have been destroyed in the fighting. so i had i would have found shelter in this construction site he's angry for being forced out of his tent with nowhere to go and no opportunities to rebuild his life. yes they forced me to leave the camp kick me out without any alternative my house is totally damage if the government pays me i will rebuild my house i want to return but the situation has forced me to live here in addition to destroyed homes there are security issues arab residents of sent fear kurdish groups such as the y p g n p k k. others displaced from the province are afraid of fighters aligned with the

popular mobilization forces iraq's government told al-jazeera people were not forced to leave an official with the ministry of migration says 26 camps are still operating in northern iraq but he admitted the financial compensation promised a dog who left has not been paid. iraq's budget issues for several years has been an obstacle to receive and distribute money for iraqis like ahmed those reasons just sound like excuses from people who no longer care. how to camp kurdish region of northern iraq. ever wonder what it would feel like to disconnect from the world and hide away in a cave for a few weeks well 15 people in front's have found out a group of french scientists and explorer explorers have emerged from a cave up to spending 14 days in size they went deep isolation without any sense of time under schapelle has more in story book with a jeweler an anesthesiologist
