5:02 pm
as a find against terrorism the german foreign minister also urged turkey to comply with international law when dealing with refugees moss' visit comes amid tensions over turkey's military campaign in syria. for more let's bring in our turkey correspondent 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 the un cry and this is because the german foreign minister had previously called turkey's a military offensive in the northeast syria and i quote him here an invasion that is not in accordance with international law of cause the turkish government does not want 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
5:03 pm

5:05 pm
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 unquote today and pitch the idea to his turkish counterparts but still journalists were asking about this proposal and this is when we have a child the turkish foreign minister has said he doesn't think this idea is realistic all right for 100 porting for us in istanbul thank you very much. let's get a check now for the other stories making news around the world in iraq relatives helped funerals in baghdad and the city of new jobs for anti-government demonstrators who died in violent protests on friday at least 42 people were killed and thousands were injured hundreds of protesters have gathered again in central
