a summit with russia and iran next week to discuss syria's ongoing civil war through a turkish taken in millions of syrian refugees and is seeking to prevent any we knew hostilities the might drive even more people across the border european countries are also concerned they fear ankara will pull out of a deal with the e.u. and the lab migrants to cross the sea to greece. turkish troops by warning shots in tear gas at the border with syria. they're trying to prevent syrian protesters from storming across the frontier. the demonstrators are demanding protection from an offensive by the syrian government on the last rebel stronghold. this is a warning that if nothing is done to help them we are coming to turkey and europe a lump of. this is everyone's fear that the destruction and the death in italy will

send tens of thousands more syrian refugees towards his country joining the nearly $4000000.00 who've already fled the carnage. he say's this will have dramatic consequences not just for turkey but for europe too. the couple that are struggling we will be forced to open the gates. of the large world building and we will be forced to open the gates you only you know this if you are going to provide support then provide support if you are not sorry everyone sees this area in northern syria as one solution to any new refugee crisis. turkish and american troops are already patrolling here ahead of the establishment of what's being called a safe zone for the resettlement of up to 1000000 syrian refugees but everyone says the international community and europe in particular i'm not offering enough support for the plan. he also accuses the e.u. of failing to honor its commitments in

a landmark 2016 refugee jia with turkey the e.u. offered ankara 6000000000 euros to stop the flow of migrants into europe in 2015 but added one says he's received barely half of the money europe says its wings have a discussion with added $1.00 but greece which takes in most of the new arrivals says he must 1st change his tone by the migration issue is a european matter it is not a bilateral issue and mr erdogan must understand that he cannot threaten greece and europe in an attempt to secure more resources to handle the refugee issue in a lover could never open. but with more migrants reaching greek shores in august 2900 minutes any other time in the last 3 years athens also knows the dissolution needs to be found urgently. let's talk about solutions and the how big a problem this is with the collapse director of a european stability initiative is one of the architects of the migration deal

between turkey and europe they're welcome to you how seriously should they take mr adams threats. well. on the one hand we've seen turkey issues such statements regularly for more than 3 years we must remember this agreement is based on a turkish proposal the turks made this offer to the german chancellor and the e.u. in march 2016 and it is in turkey's interest that it works but at the same time we have seen growing pressure domestic debate in turkey to death to many syrians and the numbers they are increasing so i think it's misstep sending a message to the e.u. to keep helping and to his public that he sees their concerns and when he says that the e.u. is not a holding its end of the deal is that should. when i want to use often it is 6000000000 euros which is the largest amount of help the u.s. ever given to

a 3rd country to deal with refugees and yet turkey is hosting the largest number of refugees in the world 3600000 syrians alone and in the last year this number has increased 520-0000 of which more than 100000 would have children of syrian refugees born in turkey so that the pressure in turkey is increasing the number is increasing and it's clear that you need to in its own interest keep helping but when when mr says the money has not arrived no that's not true that's not true and in fact this is the one aspect of the deal that has worked what hasn't worked is not what the e.u. is done in turkey but what the e.u. and greece have promised to do in the greek islands but the conditions are terrible but this is not a failure of tech it is a failure of the e.u. so how could this be made better then how could the flow of refugees into europe better be controlled where there are 3 things that you should really do urgently i mean one it should give a clear signal to turkey that it's prepared to keep supporting that the syrians in

turkey so does that mean more money on top of the present deal or just saying well it means the 6000000000 have been meant to be spent by the end of 2020 it's clear that the number of syrians in turkey not only is not going to be smaller but bigger ok so the e.u. has an interest in helping syrians in turkey with social support education health care in turkey but secondly it needs to work on the greek islands the greeks have promised this was part of the deal to process quickly the applications of anyone coming in to return those to turkey who are safe in turkey but the returns are at their lowest level in 3 years because the greek asylum system isn't able to process them this is not going to be helped by blaming greece germany france and other countries into. put together a credible plan send the resources and work with greece on dealing with this which brings our next for the rich which is that athens is frustrated by about the lack

of burden sharing but over the last 3 years all we have seen from brussels is some people say we should all do more and some people say yeah you do do you do what you like we don't want them there is no consensus and the rules aren't working so when next well i think we need to be really realistic it's not going to be a solution for the whole of the european union we have some member states that have no refugees arriving but have built governments have built their political strategy on defending their countries of an alleged mess invasion which is not happening it's the countries that are really concerned by this germany the netherlands france sweden they need to get together they need to help greece they have the expertise they know how to process asylum claims because they've done it in the last few years they need to work with the new greek government which i think genuinely wants to have a solution and they need to prove and this is what's at stake here they need to prove that you can process aside and claims credibly within

a few weeks return those who don't need protection the e.u. turkey is ready to take them and then find a solution for the others which does not leave greece alone get out the storm the european stability initiative and so much for joining us thank you sport now on the bundesliga is back after the international break table toppers abi leipsic hosted by munich on saturday making a push for the title this season while the defending champions have enjoyed a stuttering start to the campaign by a coach and he says he's expecting a hot dance and logic. blemish free is one way to describe your young august month start as a coach he's won 3 from 3 league games his team conceding just 5 days but expect no grand master plan against by an anonymous man it's a simple matter of balance that it's illusions of generally speaking a line or

a team that loves having the ball and a lot of possession are the teams or in most cases they have more position than the opponents so we have a defensive task ahead of us but we can't neglect our attack. if there's one team that knows a lot about attack it's by on their skill on cloud 9 after the 6 month hammering off minds last match day despite that drought you could call that she's expecting the competition this season he says it's a 4 horse race for the bundesliga title i. may have been through this was besides like so you guys also have to mention dortmund and les because they were all out there last year i listened and i think this year so it will play out amongst the 4 of us are some sort of dons is always a hot dancer and slight saving. night 6 will need to push themselves like never before a win for novice months site will stretched a lead at the top of the table and strengthen they've big for
