a new emperor japan's no hito formally proclaims his ascension to the chrysanthemum throne the world's oldest hereditary monarchy. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us germany's defense minister has put forth a plan for the future of northern syria and they come common by his plan calls for an internationally patrolled security zone in syria along the border with turkey now that's similar to what turkey says it wants to achieve with its own military incursion there the difference is that the zone proposed by the german defense minister would be under international and not turkish control come come on bella is seen as a possible successor to chancellor merkel and she says she's discussed her proposal with maclin put it to germany's western allies here's part of what the defense

minister said in her exclusive interview with. my unflushed look instance. my recommendation is that we establish an internationally controlled security zone in cooperation with taki and russia. and. this security czar in would seek to resume the fight against terror and against isis which currently has come to a standstill. woman to todd some believe in the cold is. it would also ensure that we stabilize the region so that rebuilding civilian life is once again possible. so that there is who have fled can also return voluntarily. has criticized germany and europe for acting too much like onlookers in the syrian conflict and says a political initiative through nato is needed. this is the area in northeast syria

that ana could come kagame bower is talking about the german defense minister wants to set up an internationally controlled safety zone here along the turkish syrian border turkey launched its offensive on the 9th of october after washington decided to pull out of the region acar says it wants to clear the area of kurdish militia groups it considers terrorists including the syrian kurdish peoples protection units or why p.g. bilin considers the offensive a violation of international law but has so far refrained from imposing any major sanctions on turkey comp carven by will present a proposal on the sidelines of a meeting of nato defense ministers in brussels on thursday. this is just another and this is 1st of all the proposal that i'm making as party leader and as defense minister i notice a proposal that is supported by many defense and foreign policy experts in my party before going public with this recommendation i informed the chance that. this will

definitely be discussed within the government but we can't simply talk about europe needing to be more than a bystander we must come up with our own proposals to catalyze discussion. she also said the situation in syria severely compromised germany and europe security interests and blamed europe for acting too much like onlookers while kurdish groups will most likely welcome the proposal that you know any initiative could take a long time and they also know and grow wants to take action now. what was printed up is chief political editor make it quick who conducted the interview with the german defense minister mckillop who does the german defense minister ugly tom tom imagine would be in control of that international security zone in northern syria are un nato and russian troops supposed to work together well the basic message was as many as possible ideally she would like to have a u.n.

resolution which is really very difficult to imagine that russia would have an interest in actually backing something that would. basically take out of its hands that what it almost has which is a real stake real control so in northern syria and the entire region but the main message here i think is that she agrees with him on my call that the french president that europe can no longer be on the sidelines and she sees this more as a basis for debate so how much of this will actually stick how much of it will be translated in actual european boots on the ground i think is a very open question for now significant changes the dynamics the ticky of that meeting between russia's president vladimir putin and turkish president out of one who are due to meet today and discuss the future of that region so this is

a position now that needs to be taken into account but it could fail d.d. . this is quite a bold proposal coming from germany and its response seated by germany deciding to hold weapons exports to turkey and chancellor merkel asking president one of turkey to to stop his military offensive there. berlin decided to now begin taking a more assertive approach to foreign policy what's happening here well that's certainly the message the defense minister wants to send as she wants to also become i'm going to map the successor as the next chance and i think this is the perspective one has to see this in that she is now stepping out of under the machall shadow but there is a ready a lot of criticism here that such a proposal should have come from chancellor merkel it's that it underlines essential sitting duck kind of status particularly looking at the instability of the current government coalition here with the social democrat party which would

have to be brought on board by an eclipse compound or on the german chancellor for such a proposal already saying that they simply won't go for it and a very good coalition partners saying they all sat together just the evening before she made this proposal and she didn't say a word informing the foreign minister heikal mosse from the social democrats just through an s.m.s. so there's a lot of internal political stuff going on here as well for now we look ahead to that nato defense in this is meeting at the end of the week and see whether this sketchy basis for discussion will actually translate into something more concrete one way or the other we'll be hearing a lot more about this proposal mciver cliff the chief political editor thank you so much. and he watched me hate his full interview with the german defense minister on our website at the w. . now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today demonstrations in lebanon continued late into monday night even after the
