is demanding his immediate release. or for the latest now as cross over to our correspondent there in jones in istanbul dorian who is andrew bronson and how does he end up at the center of a major diplomatic dispute between the u.s. in turkey. well andrew bronson is an evangelical christian he spent more than twenty years in turkey much of that time running a church in turkey's western city of ease media now he was arrested after the twenty sixteen failed coup attempt in turkey one of tens of thousands and is being accused of being a supporter of the islamic cleric centrally goodwin who lives in self-imposed exile in the united states he and his followers are blamed for the failed takeover and also bronson's accuse of supporting kurdish insurgents k.k. now washington has dismissed this whole case they say this is a baseless charges and have accused her of political hostage taking if using

younker of trying to use their bridge to resolve a number of very deep between washington and cross that have really poisoned relations and we understand in the last few weeks there was some kind of deal between the turkish and u.s. presidents but that deal broke down and that was the trigger for us launching these sanctions on president thanks again. so what impact are these sanctions that the u.s. is impose now impact of those sanctions likely to have on the two cabinet ministers who have been targeted in turkey and what's the response from ankara. well i mean these sanctions are pretty symbolic any holdings or investments they had in the u.s. will be frozen they don't have any and they just dismiss the charges but the key thing here is that there's a worry that this is the beginning of a series of very painful sanctions possibly economic ones targeting turkey's fragile economy we've already seen a collapsing reaching record low. following the announcement of these sanctions but

there's been very strong pushback by. the turkish foreign ministry in a statement dismiss this it said this is an unnecessary aggressive stance while the turkish vice president has said that there will be reciprocal retaliate against washington immediately and all of turkey's main opposition parties with the exception of the main kurdish parties have rallied in support of the government because there is a very deep vein of anti-americanism. exacerbated by this latest crisis between the turkish and u.s. relations. what does this mean then for u.s. turkish relations going forward. well at the moment turkey is taking a very resolute position and saying it's not going to back down and i think the fear is that they don't want to appear weak to washington because they are aware there's a number of outstanding commands from washington and particularly implementation of iranian sanctions and. we seem to have

lost dorian there the line to dorian in istanbul there was our correspondent there in john's there and we have to talk to him a little later. lebanon is stepping up pressure for on on syrian refugees to return home some one point five million syrian refugees are currently in lebanon and officials there have repeatedly said that's putting the country under strain hundreds of refugees have returned to syria in the past few weeks many more are afraid of what would happen to them if they went back to that your correspondent traveled to the town of our soul where she met a woman who fled syria the assad government killed her husband and son she and her children fear for their lives if they return. it was not a voyage. ever imagined undertaking but the mother of eight and grandmother of three children was forced to flee has syrian home. to take refuge in the town of

ourselves just across the border. although it happened five years ago the memories are still fresh this is my son or husband and his son who were killed in the syrian war. the beginning of the uprising protests were not violent they were peaceful but my husband was killed because he took part in the my son was with the regime army doing his compulsory service in the syrian intelligence service killed him because he deserted. who fears the assad regime but the pressure from lebanon to leave is building some three thousand syrians have already registered to return i can never go back to syria. she is especially worried about this man. goosen by a is

a member of the syrian committee tasked with collecting the names of billing return is and sending the list to damascus for approval who is suspicious but the government mitali the names with those who protested against the regime and neither of us them upon arrival or refuse them approval to return but golson denies the charge. it's not a condition not an issue of approval it's just about informing the government of the names of the people returning. he claims syria is now safe and to convince us he asked one of the refugees who have applied to return to talk to us do you want to go back of course what's keeping me here but it doesn't go quite as he sought so he is confronted by angry syrians know their jobs are going back to syria safely is impossible. he shows his blood scars the military did

this while still a leader. but lebanon's government is eager to stop one of million syrian refugees so many say they may be forced to look at europe again. and her friends are among those thinking about making the journey to europe they know that it won't be easy but the risk of reprisal by assad security forces is high. one of the ladies has just heard of the arrest of her sister by the syrian regime. i want to migrate to europe for the future of my children and i applied to the u.s. but they didn't help me other than. they had mobile smugglers want one thousand euros for the trip and i said that if you're one of them that meant that i feel. doesn't know what she would do yet and many here are facing a similar dilemma. it may be too soon to say if there will be

a second they will for refugees to europe but the conditions are right. for now despite all the hardship best bet seems to be levanon. the lebanese. trade dispute between the u.s. and china is continuing to heat up but could washington be getting its way with a new class and more coming up in our business segment with. language courses. video. anytime anywhere. w.b.'s.
