quote
2:08 pm
a year had been taken away from the life of him and his daughter also a german politician a member of parliament expressed also was seeing as a positive sign by anger but said she was very unhappy at the fact that the case was still continuing and she was told it was not allowed to leave the country and during you know even german chancellor angela merkel has weighed in on told his case as well at a press conference here in germany earlier today let's listen to what she said. as for ms told and i've also heard that on the one hand it's good news regarding the fact that she will probably be released. if you talk to her on the other hand it's not entirely good news because she may not leave the country. and on the other hand the proceedings are still ongoing. but altogether it's initially good news in a way. so daryn chancellor merkel there are saying it's initially good news
2:09 pm
what do today's proceedings mean for turkish german relations that have been i don't know for a. while i think it's one small step to stopping them getting any worse and i think that has been the priority of both sides it is the i think the results of what we've seen is a. communications to private communications that's been going on that started last month when the german foreign minister made a surprise visit to turkey and that house saw the process where we see him post side slowly making small gestures to each of our and i think that this sort of release of tolo although it is not a full release is seen as a part of our ongoing process but there's still a long long way to go before we can talk about any kind of normalization particular fact that there are still seven or eight german nationals in jail notably the german journalist and if you jail and they'll be a lot of pressure for his release to. correspondent dorian jones reporting outside the courthouse there for us in istanbul thank you dorian. now to some other stories

2:11 pm
in austria making it the only western european country with a far right party in its ruling coalition the new chancellor sebastian courses teamed up with the populist freedom party together there pledging to tighten immigration policies while maintaining a strong commitment to the e.u. but the inclusion of the freedom party in the government is sparked protests as thousands gather in vienna. are brussels correspondent max off mine is covering the story for us i spoke to him earlier and asked him what a far right party in austria government means for europe. well it means a for the european union that there's a mixed message coming from austria there's potentially some good news in there for example there seems to be a clear commitment by the new coalition to the european union saying for example in their program that a strong austria can only exist in a strong europe and that involves a party the freedom party that only a couple of years ago played with the idea of exiting the european union altogether
2:12 pm
but on the other hand difficult message also because this will most likely deepen the rift that we already have between eastern europe and western europe on the topic of migration relocation that countries like germany italy greece are in favor of a quota meaning that every country in the european union would have to take in migrants according to a certain quote in our countries like hungary in poland are strictly against that and now with this new coalition in austria they most likely will be on the side of hungary and poland because their program indicates that they will toughen up generally speaking on immigration. hoffman thank you very much. to football now and leverkusen sports start to the bundestag a season is a distant memory they travel to hanover on the back of a twelve game unbeaten streak that has put them among the leading pack in stark contrast to their hosts have had only managed one win in the last six months later
