weather blasts the northeastern united states we'll take you to massachusetts where the cold is paralyzing communities along the east coast. and the tell all book that u.s. president donald trump trying to stop from publication the white house aides back at numerous claims and including that close trump associates consider him a child i'm fit to govern. alone welcome i'm marrying in evanston it's good to have you with us germany and turkey have pledged to take steps to calm tensions between the two countries german foreign minister is it my god but in his church counterpart to my food shovel show lou were meeting to discuss recent disputes that include a wave of arrests in turkey following the failed coup attempt in twenty sixteen at

least nine german citizens have been among those arrested such as dennis you jel a correspondent for germany's developed newspaper he's been in a turkish jail for more than ten months without. a formal indictment. germany's foreign minister had this to say about the outcome of today's talks have a listen. we have set ourselves the task of doing everything possible to overcome the difficulties and the german talking. remembering what unite to find more common ground for the future. for more i'm joined now in the studio by . who's reported extensively from turkey you're good to see you so the german foreign minister and his turkish counterpart just a short time ago held a joint press conference after their talks what was the mood of their joint appearance the atmosphere was not exactly relaxed but it was friendly it was

respectful and the message of the two foreign ministers is very clear yes there are problems there were problems and difficulties we don't agree on everything but we are willing to overcome this crisis this is an important message german foreign minister gabriele said that they spoke about difficult issues without specifically mentioning which issues but i'm sure the case of a jailed german journalist in his usual is really high on the agenda all right so he's been in jail for more than ten months as we mentioned he is accused of aiding and abetting terrorists there has been no formal indictment are the talks today likely to facilitate his release any time soon well it remains to be seen but they have been some hopeful developments and that's something that. is today some german nationals have been released in recent months some of them have also been able to return to germany and the turkish foreign minister

a few days ago said that his government would encourage the judiciary to speed up the judicial process in the case so there is some hope that finally off to ten eleven months something with. we'll move ahead and i expect that we will hear from an indictment and a trial date soon or maybe a court will also decide to set your jail free pending trial so that's the hope that's the expectation of course to foreign ministers cannot come up with a solution today but i'm sure they are talking about this yes well the detention of debt is huge shell of course is only one of many issues that are have been quite problematic between the two sides what else is at stake what else do both sides expect for one another to see a thaw in relations well there the foreign ministers so of course they will talk about international crisis in syria and iran yemen iraq and so on but the turkish

side i'm sure will bring up some other issues as well for example they want germany to take a tougher stance on the p.k. k. which is considered a terrorist organization in turkey in europe as well in the european union and they also want germany to take a tough a stands on so-called goodness the organization is the organization the turkish government blames for the attempted coup in twenty sixteen so this is important for the turkish side meanwhile turkey's president wretch of type to one just yesterday paid a visit to french president mccaughan in paris and maicon came out with a very clear statement saying that at least at the moment there is no chance of turkey ever joining the european union was this an issue that was discussed by the foreign ministers today turkey's accession to the e.u. i didn't hear about it specifically but i i can assume that this doesn't go down well with the czechs president or the government members because they're often saying we will not wait at that use door forever on the other hand they are really

trying now to mend fences with european nations because they're all the partners russia the u.s. middle eastern nations the relations them not exactly great either so they really need. to approach europe so to say but of course the european union also has lost a lot of leverage when it comes to interior developments democracy human rights in turkey by pushing turkey further away and i think the e.u. as such needs to come up with a more coherent common approach when it comes to its relations to turkey. many thanks indeed for breaking it all down for us. now to some of the other stories making news around the world and the u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley has warned iran that the world is watching its response to anti-government protests her comments came at a u.n. security council meeting but iran and russia criticize the u.s.
