syria's border travel show lou blasted germany for criticizing turkey's offensive against kurdish militias calling for more solidarity and what ankara sees as a fight against terrorism for his part the german foreign minister urged turkey to comply with international law when dealing with refugee moss' visit comes amid tensions over turkey's military campaign in syria. for more let's bring in our turkey correspondent who's standing by in istanbul so you tell us what came out of that meeting between the 2 foreign ministers. well it's been quite attends a meeting today in this is because the german foreign minister had previously called turkey's a military offensive in the northeast of syria and i quote him here an invasion that is not in accordance with international law of cause government does not want
4:03 pm
to hear such criticism and that is why his turkish counterpart may have. in a press conference today accused harshly accused german politics and german media as well disproportionately criticizing the offensive and offensive that so far has killed many people on both sides of the border and that has displaced an estimated 300000 people unoffensive turkey still insists it is about protecting national security and fighting terrorists and there you hounded the german foreign minister response to this criticism. well i think it became clear today that germany considers turkey a very important nato ally too important to lose so with kathie lee watching the words he was using that he pressed again for
4:04 pm
a durable cease fire in the region let rima let me remind you here turkey paused its military offensive off a u.s. backed truce on a separate deal with russia earlier this week but this deal with russia will come to an end on tuesday and it remains to be seen what will happen next so it's important for the german foreign minister that turkey won't start it so peroration there again and the other big issue is the safe so in the so-called safe zone turkey wants to establish a north and syria prison and wants to resettle up to 2000000 refugees currently living here in turkey to these areas and there have been reports there has been criticism about possible forced returns to these areas and today. the turkish foreign minister confirmed again that any returns would be voluntarily that was an important message i think for the germans here. so disagreements of course but
4:05 pm
i think for the german side it's very important that they keep talking to each other now you know what about this proposal by germany's defense minister for an internationally controlled security zone in northern syria did that idea come up in the talks today. it did come up but rather as a side note because this is not an official proposal by germany's out federal government it's a proposal by the defense minister and the foreign minister did not back that proposal so he did not go to today and pitch the idea to his turkish counterparts but still journalists were asking about this proposal and this is when they have a child the turkish foreign minister has said he doesn't think this idea is realistic all right 100 porting for us in istanbul thank you very much. let's get

4:08 pm
or resign. you're going to be made up to make 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 listening to the people that soul. 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. a woman who confessed to spying for russia has returned to moscow after serving more than a year in an american jail maria bettina's case rose to prominence around the same time as the mother investigation into alleged russian meddling into the u.s.
