turkish minister blasted germany over its criticism of the offensive calling for more solidarity in what turkey sees as the fight against terrorism mosse called for a lasting cease fire in the area and urged turkey to comply with international law when dealing with refugees. well for more on the story i'm joined now by our foreign policy editor status there dar here in the studio with me and turkey correspondent he would be a han is standing by for us in istanbul hello to both of you yulia i'd like to begin with you tell us what came out of that meeting between the 2 foreign ministers. well tensions were running high at this press conference there in ankara between the 2 foreign ministers the turkish foreign minister. started with harshly criticizing germany 1st of all

he said germany does not appreciate not turkish efforts when it comes to hosting refugees we know the taki is hosting 3600000 refugees from syria more than any other country in the world and then he also said that the turkish military operation in north in syria has been and i quote him here disproportionately criticize been disproportionately criticized in germany and the german media he said trust has been breached so sounding quite angrily there and then he also mentioned the agreements turkey has reached with the u.s. and russia about the situation within syria and he emphasized that these 2 countries have recognized the legitimacy off turkey's over ration and this is the major source of disagreement here between the taxation and the german foreign minister because heiko mas as we know ahead of his visit clearly said that he considers the turkish military operation i quote him an invasion that is not in

accordance with international law he repeated this today and that was something you can you could clearly feel in this press conference this was causing a lot of tension all right so a tense press conference and the turkish foreign minister sounding rather angry as you described it saying that turkey is being unfairly criticized for its campaign in northern syria say to how to respond to all of this well yes the press conference was quite tense also last year at a similar time we had another press conference which was much more friendly than this one. was made for important points that he said it was important for him 1st he said cooperation against the i.r.s. has to continue that's very very crucial. for germany for turkey and for all of the allies the other point he made was that the cease fire should continue after the sochi agreement deadline expires which is going to be next tuesday by 6 pm and he

said he got a guarantee from a little bit later in the question part said well we're not talking about guarantees here let's just say we gave confirmation the other point that was important for germany is that what i call the legal international law how the 2 countries perceive this turkey's military operation there is very different and. so that was another point that high cost made and finally he also said the most important thing actually which is what is coming up next week is the meeting in geneva where a new syrian constitution is going to be discussed so a political solution to the syria problem was the most of their final points that i must meet all right now you know i want to ask you about this proposal by germany's defense minister who is suggesting there should be an internationally controlled security zone in northern syria kind of a controversial idea did that come up in the talks today.

well it came up in the press conference but let me emphasize this is a proposal by the german defense minister not by germany's foreign minister there is no agreement within the german coalition government about this plan and this is of course something the turkish side clearly noticed so they said you know there is no agreement in the german government once they have a plan they can approach as will have a look at it and we of course appreciate any kind of help with a safe zone plan there but in the end. dismiss this plan as a realistic attack he it seems is determined to go ahead with its own so-called safe zone plan so 1st to clear the area of the kurdish fighters which ankara considers terrorists and then start setting up a safe zone and then returning refugees that but he clearly emphasized that any refugee who would go back to that so-called say so would do so voluntarily this is

something i was asking him about was pushing for so. no was keen on emphasizing that old would be voluntarily. all right since still clear that there is a lot of disagreement about turkey's activities in northern syria with regard to the refugees with regard to its campaign against the kurds saida tell us about just the state of german turkish relations these are some very serious issues that they're disagreeing on yes these are very serious issues that they're disagreeing on in the specially when called the military operation an invasion of course that was something that the turkish sides fully rejected and president on afterward said anyone who calls this an invasion should be ready to receive the 3600000 syrian refugees living in turkey so yes the relations are tense but at the same time the 2 leaders made an effort to meet and said it is better to talk with each other instead of about each other so there are some steps being taken baby steps but yes

the relations will remain a bit tense right status and are here in the studio and you know hunt for us in istanbul thank you so much to both of you. let's turn our attention now to some of the other stories making news around the world in iraq at least 40 people are dead after police fired at anti-government demonstrators at several protests across the country crowds gathered in cities including baghdad and basra and set fire to around 50 official buildings the protesters want the government to resign and they're calling for anti corruption reforms. a russian woman jailed in the united states on spying charges has returned to moscow one day after her release from detention marie of the teen them pleaded guilty last december to conspiring to act as an unregistered agent for russia the russian foreign ministry says she was the victim of anti russian attitudes in the

u.s. . now across chile massive crowds have taken to the streets for a 7th day of anti-government protests demonstrators are calling for economic reforms and the resignation of president sebastian pinera the signs of the largest demonstration by far was in the capital santiago. a march such to go down in the history books as possibly the largest ever seen in chile an estimated 1000000 demonstrators converged on downtown santiago bringing traffic to a standstill as crowds made their way to central plaza italia. protesters vented anger over low wages and pensions inequality and the rising cost of education and health care their fury has been fanned by president sebastian pinera response to a week of unrest imposing a state of emergency and night time curfews protesters called on him to listen up

or resign i. get out of the middle of the 1st thing the president has to do is get the military off the streets and change the cabinet and he needs to ensure that there are conscious people making statements to the country that are consistent with what people want with listening to the people outside. president pinera has already promised social reform measures and in the face of friday's record breaking rally he took to twitter stating we have all listened to the message we have all changed. but his post is unlikely to quell public anger as night fell violence erupted once again with demonstrators fighting pitched battles against police on the streets of santiago. all right some soccer news now in saturday's bundesliga action that sees shall the host versus dortmund and what is germany's fears this game between 2 local rivals just one point separates them in the table but ahead of the encounter dortmund coach is
