my name is elizabeth dole and i work at. this stage every new year's live from berlin turkey voices impatience with the u.s. over a long standing extradition requests on our one support the muslim sheriff is you know cool and on trial for orchestrating the failed trading sixteen crew so he's foreign minister saying it's time for the u.s. to same poulan hoed also coming up. over time

deal in poland on climate change puts teeth into the twenty fifteen paris agreement but many attain beings are not satisfied with the results. and christine wonder welcome to the program turkey's foreign minister says u.s. president donald trump told to cash president rich of type i don't wanna bet washington is working on extraditing turkey's most wanted man turkey has wrong sort of the extradition off the muslim cleric fits one of the man ancora ses was behind the failed military coup in twenty sixteen and has lived in the united states for almost twenty years he denies any involvement in the coup attempt. foreign minister . ses trump and a one discussed the matter at the g twenty summit two weeks ago. this guy and the.

other others in this organization eighty four names that we have aggressive united states takes a dive if you would so i'd prefer. that well last time we met one of. the president from told everyone that they had been working rightful more on the story and i'm joined by the correspondent story engines in istanbul and stephens the amman in washington gentlemen hello to you both jeff and i want to start with you have there any been reactions to the statements in the u.s. no i'm afraid not not as of now at this point nobody rect it officially or unofficially nothing from sources and nothing for officially from the white house state department or department of justice those of the three to entities who are actually involved in any decision going to be made in terms of extraditing mr goulden for the gloom and perhaps we won't hear anything until tomorrow or not at

all because there are suspicions from observers and experts that maybe something got lost in translation there between president trump and president adelong because of course the d.o.j. and the u.s. government is looking at the request of turkey to extradite mr fetzer log but that this is going to happen any time soon it's rather unlikely and has not changed what sort of. story and i want to bring you in why is extraditing and so important well the government. well some turkish ministers have gone as far as to describe him as turkey's osama bin laden and reason why he's seen as such as danger he said he's not only blamed for masterminding the failed coup attempt from his network of followers but according to those followers are still posing a threat to turkish democracy and every week now we see more and more of the hundreds of his followers allegedly follows being detained on top of the tens of

thousands that have been held since that failed coup and beyond also looking to washington to crack down on the. believed to be vast business networks across the united states which anchor claims to be bankrolling his network and further undermining turkey's democracy. stefan what is the off the u.s. government on this issue. the u.s. government holds one position and that is that the turks have to present proof of what they're saying and alleging in terms of the involvement of mr gillum in the coup from two thousand sixteen and as soon as this proof is sufficient then they are going through the motions of. approving or assessing this this proof and the evidence and then make a decision if there's grounds for an extradition however again i say there is three entities involved in this is not just the white house it is the department of justice and they're looking at this proof as i mentioned and then there's the state

department which also will assess how much diplomatic damage or benefit a extradition of mr golan to turkey would again for for the united states since this is not just about mr gillon but also about the relationship between the united states and turkey when it comes to the u.s. support for example kurdish fighters in northern iraq and in syria as well as turkey's role in syria as well as turkey's purchase of as four hundred missile systems from russia so we could go in the weeds here but it's really complex and the point is the united states will take it's good and this is a time to check on all evidence presented by the turks and if this is current then maybe there is some movement there but as long as. he is not happy with what they have i don't think there is will be any movement any time soon during i'll come back to you if and where should be extradited what will this mean for taking.

well this could be a complete game changer in this relationship between these two key nato allies because it has poisoned relations i mean while uncle doesn't expect the immediate extradition of what they expected from the white house is to expedite this process they said it's been more than two years since they put in this request for extradition and it hasn't even reached the courts and this is accusation of the white house and elements of washington have been foot dragging over this they haven't been taking turkey seriously what they want is an expert to expediting this process and until that happens it will fuel suspicions over the ongoing suspicions of whether washington was possibly involved or complicit in the coup which we did he repeated allegations of key turkish ministers if there was to be a change in washington's attitude of the process was to be expedited this could open the door to resolving many other issues that have been poisoned by this mistrust over the controversy right stephanie mindsets in washington for us and

getting admission out of a very bad fifteen year old sweet grettir to merck has become a voice for the younger generation by inspiring children all over the world to strike from school in protest to climate change she had sharp words for the adults at the conference you say you love your children above all else. and yet you're stealing their future in front of their very eyes. until you start focusing on what needs to be done rather than what's what is politically possible there is no hope in. climate activists both young and old feel world leaders have once again done too little too late. at least seven protesters have been arrested in moscow during a demonstration against alleged abuses by russian security forces the protest outside the security services headquarters was off by the sentencing of human

who feel injustice in their own courts can still turn to the council of europe and the european court of human rights. these avenues are an important last resort for rights activists. i am in favor of russia remaining a member of the council of europe this is important for russian citizens but also important for the citizens of european states exclusion could have negative consequences other political systems could follow this example. for human rights activists the situation remains bleak international rights organizations have accused the kremlin and its secret service of human rights violations but the west's condemnation appears to have made little impact.
