where the victims came from and they're asking members of ukase the vietnamese community for help. i'm married to evanston it's good to have you with us germany's foreign minister heikal moss has called for a lasting cease fire in northern turn in syria after talks in ankara moscow and his turkish counterpart met commented on proposals to limit the conflict on syria's border have a shoulder blasted germany for criticizing turkey's offensive against kurdish militias in the region calling for more solidarity in what anchors sees as the fight against terrorism for his part the german foreign minister urged turkey to comply with international law when dealing with refugees here's the turkish foreign minister's response about suggestions. we would investigate even

if it is the tiniest bit of violation allegation or complaint our president has straight orders on this matter we would investigate until the end we will not tolerate even the tiniest bit of human rights violation so that it is a state of law we are very sensitive regarding the tissues our fight is against tara. let's bring in our turkey correspondent john who's standing by in istanbul so you let tell us more about what came out of that meeting between the german and turkish foreign ministers well it's been quite a tense meeting there in ankara today and this is because the german foreign minister had previously openly criticize turkey's military operation in the north and syria he called it and i quote him here an invasion that is not in accordance with international law of course this kind of criticism does not go down well with

the ankara so the turkish foreign minister in return accused to german politics and german media especially of disproportionately criticizing turkey but then again it also became clear that germany considers turkey an important a nato ally too important to lose so today german foreign minister mas was pricing up for a permanent ceasefire there in north and syria the current troops well and on tuesday evening and the german foreign minister now once said that the fighting. starts again ofter tuesday. well you know is it likely that turkey is going to huge of the words of the german foreign minister i mean how likely is it that we're going to see a permanent truce in northern syria. well that does not only depend on germany of course the current ceasefire even though turkey doesn't call it

a ceasefire was brokered by russia and include and it includes that russian military police and syrian regime border police are trying to make sure that a kurdish fighters are withdrawing from a designated area close to the turkish border and today present an add on threatened if this is not happening that turkey would take masses into its own hands suggesting that there could be renewed attacks off to tuesday evening well there was event proposal by germany's defense minister for an internationally control security zone in northern syria did this idea come up in the talks today it dead dip bravely come up in the press conference because journalists asked about and it's important to mention that germany's coalition government does not have a joint plan or a joint proposal this was a proposal by the german defense minister the foreign minister did not back this proposal in fact he even dismissed it today let's listen to what he had to say.

because we were told everyone it's not a realistic suggestion that's why we used the time to deal with those issues which are important for the people in syria right now the issue of what happens with the cease fire after 150 hours the issue of how humanitarian aid continues with those who are fleeing in syria but also in jordan turkey lebanon. stuff looks to you know these disagreements that are in the german government that's something tacky turkish officials notice as well and that's why turkish foreign minister today said you know 1st the germans should come up with a common plan approach as with that but so far he said he doesn't think that this proposal by germany's defense minister is realistic. well meanwhile the turkish president rush of air to one seems to be keeping up the pressure he said today he's

threatening to open turkey's borders to allow refugees to go to europe if europe does not support turkey's plan to save their own in northern serious you know how serious is this threat well present has made this threats repeatedly in the past weeks and months even he of course once to increase pressure on the europeans he wants them to support his safe zone plan a plan by the way that will be a very very expensive the estimated cost for setting up a safe zone building houses that infrastructure and so on according to turkish media reports is more than $20000000000.00 u.s. dollars and it's safe to say that turkey won't be able to come up with the money by itself so in the end they are likely to turn towards europe and asking them for financial aid for this project and i think that's what's behind prison ed was latest sites nearly 100 in istanbul we appreciate your reporting thank you

russians never give up. well what can some of the world's most popular you tube ers do to help fight climate change that's the question some of the platforms biggest channels are trying to answer as we speak with a new drive called team trees and i'm now joined by the digital reporter arun tilton who's in the studio he's been following the campaign. for us so aaron what is this team trees all about well basically team trees is a new initiative by a number of prominent you tubers where they're trying to get the funds together to have 20000000 trees planted by 2020 by the end of the year 2xw2xw exact that's a lot of tree that is definitely a lot of trees basically the brainchild of creators are you 2 creatures one called mark robber and the other one called mr beast and basically a couple months ago they jokingly took a question or read it where they said look we're approaching 20000000 subscribers under you channel what should we do and somebody said hey plant 20000000 trees of the great for climate change and i guess you know kind of goes to show the kind of the manic energy sick energy that's out there in the you tube community they said

all right we'll do it so they've gotten together some of the platforms of biggest presenters and biggest content creators and they're all calling on their supporters now to donate money and draw attention to the climate change by making sure that they can have enough money to get 20000000 trees planted by the end of the year and how successful are they i mean are people responding over this they definitely are based on information published on their website without the nets team trees that org it looks like even though this campaign has only been running for 24 hours they've already gathered enough money to have $3000000.00 trees planted by the end of the year and that's just in the 1st day alone remember they still have 2 months to reach their goal and if he keeps continue at this pace they're likely to reach it if not surpass it and you know they're working with the arbor day foundation together which is one of the most established n.g.o.s and charities in this sphere and they also seem to have been taken quite aback at just how much resonance this campaign has had among social media and especially you tube users all right so 3000000 out of 2xw2xw trees it sounds like a lot but will this really make

a dent in the challenge associated with climate change well if you're looking at climate change an entire globe generally yes $20000000.00 trees sounds like a lot but it's several orders of magnitude below what we actually need in order to make any type of meaningful gains when it comes to climate change however you have to remember studies have shown again and again that plane 1000 trees is one of the best easiest the most cost efficient. and ways to actually strip greenhouse gases on the atmosphere china and india have engaged in similar campaigns for a long time now so basically this is just it's you tube trying to give back to the community and do something to mitigate climate change and i'd say you know it's really a step in the right direction all right digital reporter aaron tilton thank you so much for telling us all about it thank you and some soccer news now and reigning champions byron munich have gone top of the bundesliga after a 21 win over it when you on berlin robert lewandowski scored byron's decisive 2nd
