and commented on the strained relations between berlin and anger due to friction over the refugee deal aimed at slowing the flow of migrants into year the e.u. agreed with turkey in 2016 that turkey would attempt to stop syrian refugees from transiting turkey in an effort to reach greece and thereby to enter the e.u. and agreed in return that that it would pay turkey 6000000000 euros for that now turkey has long been complaining that it has not received the payments that were promised although it has upheld its and of the deal and in fact refugee flows did fall drastically after that agreement was signed now the president added one is warning and he did so at the press conference that as many as 400000 people in refugee in syria are once again on the road trying to flee the conflict area in heading for the turkish border and as we heard there from the chancellor she was

very sympathetic to his request that the e.u. do more for these people they are living in tents they are their needs are being met by turkey and turkey itself has taken in 3600000 syrian refugees on its own territory as well so in fact what we heard from the chancellor wasn't specific reference to these refugees hart who are now being housed in tents within syria but being taken. by turkey but clearly there was some real sympathy there for the claims that have been made by turkey that they simply need more help from europe so it is that in all of branches that the chancellor extended to president because obviously bilateral relations have been somewhat strained they have been strained indeed but the fact is that these 2 countries need each other and they do have one

common interest both are very concerned about rising instability both in the middle east and in north africa witnessed the president. on making the trip to berlin for the libya conference last sunday now germany needs turkey because it has become a very important player in the region in these very unstable countries both syria and libya and therefore also an important player in terms of stemming refugee flows so that's the german side and very interest driven clearly despite the fact that berlin often isn't satisfied with turkey stance on human rights protection of minorities and so on on the turkish side turkey absolutely needs germany and the e.u. for trade for investment in regard to to nato relations it's been making friendly with russia but russia is simply not a real substitute for the e.u. now germany is going to become the e.u.

council president of the 2nd half of 2020 and germany is going to be very important for turkey in that position so no wonder that at this particular press conference things were looking a lot more relaxed and friendly than they have in recent months when the crane our chief political correspondent reporting thank you. u.s. president donald trump has been speaking at an anti abortion rally in washington today while the 1st president to do so it took to the stage as thousands gathered for the march for life the annual rallying point for opponents to a woman's right to choose which was legalized in 1983 well turns presence comes as senators conduct his impeachment trial just a few blocks away and his campaign for reelection continues to gather pace all right let's take you now straight to washington correspondents all over salant is standing by and i could see in the backdrop there rally there all over president

the 1st sitting american president to address the antiabortion or rally what does this signal his decision to physically attend the rally now. that's right for the 1st time in the 47 years of the history of this rally president trump spoke to the pro-life protesters here today well 1st of all trump has been an avid supporter of this poll so-called pro-life movement since he's president he has imposed several loss on the federal level that make a fortune more difficulty here in the united states and therefore you will celebrate it here like a pop star by these thousands that you can see here right behind me the rally is still underway well let's not forget a very crucial point here is that we're in the middle of the 2020 election campaign and president trump at the same time is under severe pressure in part by the ongoing impeachment trial that is just starting right now on capitol hill so he is

certainly enjoying opportunities like this where you can be celebrated where he can show himself in the best light possible long the potential voters and also always lee trying to energize his voter base here at the module life rally here in washington d.c. right however what did he tell a crowd. well we heard those typical arguments basically that unborn life has to be protected that they have to speak up for those who can't speak themselves so he addressed all of those arguments and he also took a considerable time off his speech to really attack the democrats you know so it became very clear that he's using this opportunity here also as an election stunt calling the democrats the most radical party in decades in the history of the united states and we only have a couple of seconds left who is participating in the march of life what are they trying to achieve. well this is

a very symbolic significance you know this march we've been seeing people of all ages mostly young students and mostly wide people and what they're doing here since 47 years is march to the supreme court and call for an end of the right. oliver solid reporting for you from washington all over thank you. you're watching still to come. as china battles the coronavirus at home airports in africa scramble to prevent it from entering the continent. that on a whole lot more coming up into the e.u. music business africa with monica johns on little rock in berlin and this happens to be your weekend i wish you a great weekend until next. what
