their critics accuse both of stabbing their allies in the back and it will be in power like a dictator 2 leaders who appear to see eye to eye and that has lawmakers in washington seeing red i burned off in berlin this is the day. we've been friends for a long time almost from day one we worked to build a more stable and peaceful and prosperous middle east the kurds have risked a lot to stand with america to fight against our shared enemies we had a great relationship with the kurds. we fought with them very successfully against isis we do not want to see turkey engage in all kinds of action against the kurds. we have to distinguish between 2 things we have no problems with the kurds we have problems with terrorist organizations. a big fan of the president.

also coming up with the american football quarterback colin kaepernick his performance on the field has never been questioned his kneeling on the field well that kept him out of work is that about to change. i know that he's better than so many other of these quarterback that are in the way. of the n.f.l. can get past the south a little better. be on the right side of things. going to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with turkish president to one receiving a warm welcome at the white house getting the cold shoulder from the rest of washington these are tough times for the u.s. turkish relationship from nato to our media from syria to russia there are fundamental disagreements that threaten to pull both countries in opposite

directions add to that public impeachment hearings in washington and you wouldn't expect president drunk to roll out the welcome mat now if the president ever won but that is exactly what he did and while it may not have been a disaster the visit was all crude and uncomfortable for the turks and the americans a members of congress did not play poker face with mr erda one in a closed door meeting at the white house a heated exchange reportedly took place over turkey's assault on the kurds and over turkey's denial of the armenian genocide president trump yesterday tried to tell reporters that all is well between the 2 native allies despite turkey's invasion into kurdish controlled northern syria last month. and i will say that we've had a great relationship with the kurds and we fought with them burrs successfully against isis we have a great relationship with the kurds we have had we're with them now we get along

with them and by the way i think the president he may have some factions within the kurds but i think the president has a great relationship with the kurds. and we have to distinguish between 2 things we have no problems with the kurds we have problems with terrorist organizations and there are some terrorists among the kurds and who are they p y d n y p g they're offshoots of the terrorist organization p k k the kurdistan workers party does have it didn't it's we have coverage tonight from washington and is stamboul the problem for the alias is with us from the u.s. capitol and yulia hahn from turkey's largest city to both of you good evening public me start with you the timing of this meeting it seemed well it could have been better was the focus of an impeachment hearing just the street and aired of one roundly criticized by the west for invading northern syria i mean it is pretty

bad. you said it brant the timing definitely could have been better for president trump of course the impeachment hearing just literally oped the street from the white house was taking place and as you can imagine most of the journalists who were there in the white house were eager to get some sort of reaction from president trump but he says he was actually too busy to watch the proceedings and he focused instead on of course that meeting which was taking place or had taken place with his turkish counterpart president of the one we also conference at that actually many had been asking from both the republicans and the democrats for president trying to rescind this invite to president of the one over concerns with regarding at turkey's treatment of the you know the u.s. has long standing at kurdish allies in syria and also of this you know anti missile

system that turkey from russia and also at the crackdown from turkey on opposition figures but president continued with the meeting as we saw essentially ignored what was being asked of him from members of you know the republicans and democrats who will probably get your take on what happened in the oval office yesterday you know we had trump there to one and a bunch of us senators who feel very differently about mr elder one truong seems to feel how did that. well 1st and foremost i think it's important to stress that that's this is not something that we often see in fact it's pretty unusual brant as you know to invite me in this case 5 republican senators to a meeting of this level now among them was actually one of president trump you know a close allies that's lindsey graham a senator and he was there because of course they along with members of the republican party and the democrats have been very critical of turkey's purchase of

this weapon system from russia and also like i said before you know the treatment of the kurds by turkey in particular in syria and of course they were pretty outspoken in many respects against president trump in the past few months and also of that you know turkey's policies in general now what was quite interesting is what we heard with regards to president out of line taking out an ad and showing at what's being described as a propaganda video showing what's been said is turkey kurdish terrorist attacks didn't go down well in particular with lindsey graham who was very vocal you know and like i said before an ally of a close ally of president trump but what's quite interesting again is that today we've heard from lindsey graham you mentioned that earlier he's actually you have blocked a resolution that you know formally recognizes that the armenian genocide which was one of the issues had really angered the president of the one so it's been

a very interesting 24 hours you can see that again what about from where you're sitting right now i mean how did this oval office visit play there in turkey or if there were people there talking about the video that mr. well what donald trump and others got to see there in that video is basically the dominant narrative here in turkey that the kurdish fighters that in syria are terrorists and that the u.s. is betraying its ally turkey by supporting the terrorism that narrative is repeated being repeated over and over again by media that are overwhelmingly pro-government that so that's what brady many people here in turkey if not most of the people do think so not many thought it was where that ad and showed trump that video they even thought it was it was great that he did well upon his return from washington

to add one today this visit basically as a success he said i quote him trying to make sincere efforts based on mutual trust and nothing really substantial came out of these meetings but maybe that's not what mattis right now the message really is that donald trump rolled out the red carpet to prison edwin just weeks after he started his military incursion into north and syria an incursion that has been widely criticized not only in the u.s. and what about this tight rope that mr everyone seems to be walking right now we do turkey is of course a member of nato was an l.-y. of the united states but the same time it seems to be cozying up more and more with russia how's that being portrayed. well you met many critics say that turkey is not exactly behaving like a nato ally right now and that's because that's what pablo mentioned before.

the russian made s. 400 missile defense system the 1st part of that system was delivered in summer and has not been made over racial yet and apparently trump to add one not to activate best system at all and today rejected that proposal and said i quote him it's an infringement of solver right so he says he's not going to let the russians down but at the same time he still holds out the option of buying us a power treated defenses so it seems like everyone is trying to see how far he can take this i mean in the end so far he avoided u.s. sanctions over buying this russian made to system yet so far he's avoided the sanctions. lawmakers in washington there are what they're thinking about these sanctions aren't there because they don't want what they're seeing you do they this relationship between the wall and blood to be a pollutant. you're absolutely right on it and it's quite stark difference because

let's not forget and we actually heard it there you know present from some very kind words to say for president out of line actually at one point he said he was a big fan of president and the one that did not go down very well at all here at like i said before republicans and democrats are feeling very onesie about that and you know you he has been mentioning there this purchase as well of the turkey you know turkey you know from russia s 400 missile defense system which you know president tom said was a very serious challenge but you know you he also said it didn't it didn't seem like anything was really resolved in this meeting that took place here in washington and that congress does want to sanction out of the one and you know many members of the press and members of it you know think tanks and so on have been very critical of those policies towards the kurds but once again no sanctions mean appear to have really materialized and this you know despite the fact that the

white house national security adviser robert o'brien reiterated that you know there was a real threat and this was a real threat to the united states and it's causing a lot of unease here once again president trump you know just how very kind words to say for the president at the once so for the moment doesn't seem to be any sanctions on the way and you'll see before we remember a time a b. and a major focus of the moment is turkey's handling of not only a massive number of syrian refugees but also these former fighters from so-called islamic state is heir to one do you see him trying to weaponize this situation. well that might turn into a major problem for europe in particular and yes many are afraid he might use these suspected isis militants to accept pressure on the euro like he has repeatedly threatened to set to open the gates and send syrian refugees to europe whenever he

is unhappy about something the european union does and the numbers are really huge at owen says he holds currently more than a 1000 isis suspects in turkish jail 700 of them about $700.00 of them offering and nationals and that's just the people here inside turkey there are thousands more currently in kurdish camps in the north of syria and are now shares the responsibility of dealing with these people and he just started this week of just sending them back to european countries and many of these countries do not want to take these people back others including germany some people were sent to germany today seem to be unprepared and edwin knows all of this he knows how to make european governments very uncomfortable yet that he definitely does a correspondence really haunted stamboul in public legally else in washington to both of you thank you.

israel says a series of rockets have been fired from gaza despite a cease fire that was agreed to earlier with the militant palestinian group islamic jihad the last few days had seen the heaviest fighting in months along the gaza border 34 palestinians died in israeli strikes on gaza. metal soar into the night sky above gaza before being snuffed out by israel's iron dome missile defense system. but as day broke it seemed to beckon a fragile peace here. news of a deescalation in the area. also confirmed that a cease fire deal was reached under the supervision of egypt and it went into effect on the ground at 5 am with islamic jihad conditions along. the dealing

it an olive branch for a once shunned american football star or just a public relations stunt quarterback collin kaepernick will all dition for n.f.l. teams on saturday but the trial leaves many questions unanswered like why now and who will actually be there to watch 3 years ago kaepernick started kneeling during the pregame national anthem to call attention to racial injustice sparking a backlash in the united states kaepernick couldn't find a job after that season and later filed a grievance against the n.f.l. and its owners accusing them of colluding to keep him out earlier this year the 32 year old and the n.f.l. reached a settlement every. so what's going on to help answer that question and more i'm joined at the big table now on my colleague chris harrington from beat abuse boards chris good to see you this impromptu work l's. called by the n.f.l.

. what's the n.f.l. what to with this it doesn't smell right brained it doesn't smell right at all 1st off the short term notice kaffir nick in his advisors only had a 2 hour window to accept the offer by the n.f.l. the day it's taking place on a saturday typically quarterbacks in captain exposition trying out for teams free agent trials with teams are conducted on tuesdays after teams have played the n.f.l. kicks off on sundays this is an open trial for 32 teams to come not sometimes have said they're not coming we don't know exactly what kind of representation the teams will bring to the tryout you know but for a number of reasons and still the details of the trial itself we have no idea what he'll be doing in the n.f.l. at last reports haven't even decided on what kind of throwing regime in quarterback passes he'll have to conduct you know along with the type of workout it is but we do know it's

a combine style workout which i'll touch on what we know and he has been basically out of the job for what 3 years now right but he says despite that he's kept himself game ready. as. without being in the game that's pretty tough to do he's been conducting workouts he's been very proud he's been you know for a continual basis waking up at 5 o'clock in the morning you know posting his social media workouts throwing quarterback passes and so on he actually went to twitter and here's a tweet now i'm just getting word from my representatives the n.f.l. league reached out for a workout in atlanta on saturday i've been in shape and ready for this for 3 years i can't wait to see head coach is a g.m. that's the kicker right there the head coaches and g.m.'s unlikely to be there the combine style workout bring it what it is is basically reserved for players that are about 2223 years old that have yet to play in the n.f.l. and we know that he's not 20 already and so years old if he's going to get those

same measurements you know you're comparing the times because basically it's a series of running you know a lot of drills you know fitness tests basically to see you know how good his body he has stayed in shape over the his hiatus you know but. the short term situation all that all this together is it seems like potentially it's a set up for failure well remind us how did he get to this point i mean he's had a fall from grace significantly and one point you know he was celebrated as the 40 niners signal caller led them to a super bowl did very well they lost a super bowl you know you know but he was nailing asked a question about after why reporters and know why he was needed he addressed the issue saying that it was you know to bring attention to the social injustice and he cited one example saying a lot of african-americans have been gunned down by police police have not been held accountable well court of public opinion associated him nailing during the

national anthem is being unpatriotic and that's when president trump chimed day and during this you know time but you know now trump has come out and said well if he's good enough maybe he. he gets a shot to play you know but that's when things went downhill from college capron he did the nike ad and so forth and became you know really the poster child for social injustice you know what i mean cause that's what people remember now when you say his name they think of the nike. let me ask you about music icon jay z. yes so he recently signed an intertainment deal with. commissioner roger goodell was he involved in any of this what we're seeing happen this week yet that's what some reports are saying jay z. is also now not only just you know overseeing the management of the music but he's also revamping inspired change it's the social arm of the n.f.l. and this has jay z. written all over it for what when the announcement was made in the interview was may we with roger goodell he basically made the statement we are past kneeling

which outraged a lot of column capper nick supporters or you know he received a lot of backlash for that and for all we know this was in the works for quite some time you know it's interesting what's been coming out the narrative it makes it very clear the college caprona camp and the n.f.l. can't even agree on the agreement but it looks like this is coming to fruition with jay z. because it was reported the settlement that he did sign it so this was not part of the settlement that was already reported so the only thing that that you can connect. well he was in the to be in that settlement maybe he agreed to that settlement to never take in the again or to never imagine it again so at the end of the day are we looking at a situation where this could be a win win for the n.f.l. and a lose lose for going company well the win win for the n.f.l. it's definitely good for p r you know one of colic happening former players eric reed who's still active in the n.f.l. he still kneels during the anthem he's come out publicly say it is a p.r. stunt you know so that way the n.f.l.

can always cover themselves and say we gave him a shot he's been bragging that he's been ready it's put up or shut up and he wasn't ready but collin capper nick i think the measuring stick is so difficult if he's mean compared to what spring chickens do in terms of assessments and all of the physical drills he'll have to go through but if he does shock and awe a scout maybe we do see him want to team. that old man and chris we have to say i say 32 and last but not least he has a figurative the end literally show up we haven't had final confirmation i mean i think we'll at the way until saturday but you know what was that happened on saturday yes definitely chris harrington as always chris we presented thank you ok . well before we leave you tonight we want to take you to south asia and the story of a national hero in india a most stuff fighter pilot was shot down in pakistan in february during

a standoff over the kashmir region the pakistani air force has just opened an exhibition featuring a wax figure of the indian wing commander and eyed him from his captured plane pakistanis they are flocking to the gallery. if he joined the air force for glory and undoubtedly got what he wanted a national hero in his native india the wing commander now also has a whole gallery devoted to him in pakistan they clearly for different reasons the indian pilot made international headlines after he was shot down in a dogfight and catch it by the pakistani military during a major standoff with india earlier this year. now the pilot's uniform as well as others seized personal belongings are on show at the pakistan air force museum in karachi. it's an unashamed tribute to what curators and visitors see as proof of pakistani military might and it's leaving school children and students with their

eyes that. this image that we buy day are as good if not all of his belongings were confiscated and they're now on display here at the museum it felt very good today to see all these articles on display we are proud of the pakistan after. the exhibition also features debris of the downed indian fighter jet a reminder that the incident at the heart of it was serious following a suicide attack in indian kashmir india and pakistan conducted tit for tat airstrikes in each other's territory in february and analysts raise the alarm that the skirmish could turn into an all out war but i doubt tensions come to when pakistan freed about a man from captivity and handed him back to india but the hype around the pilot didn't die down. neither did the nationalist feather that his capture had fueled on

both sides of the. i. was at the exhibition many of his it is a feeling as patriotic as ever. want to tell about the pakistani army did a good thing and they have made us proud they have failed us with enthusiasm so we can fight with carnage and pride if someone dares to attack us and we can say proudly that we are pakistani and we are no less than anyone else. the legendary story of wing commander and time on a source of national pride for the india and pakistan. and the exhibit it has sparked a flurry of reaction on social media like this tweet from an indian user in delhi pakistanis have become great fans of wing commander on the gun who spoke like a boss even under the most trying and intimidating conditions inside an enemy country as a p.o.w.

after all statues are built for heroes and this was the response from a user located impact in england with a pakistani take on the exhibit of course we love we really enjoyed our fantastic team he didn't say anything bad about pakistan when sent back through the way and border we can always invite him again when he brings us another plane and fancies more fantastic sea. closer to world peace there that is almost on the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter either d.w. news you can follow me abroad go off t.v. don't forget to use the hash tag the day every member whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see that everyone.
