and- the various ease states to restore normalized relations he said and this is key and this is something that he actually spoke about. because we're talking about two parties are actually mutually dependent on a plethora of issues on trade on defense. on migratition and o that needs to continue and no earlier today speaking to an analyst that was saying that it would be a last option these heavy punitive measures that suddenly athens seems to be pushing for. for the eu to impose them so. it appears often now they going for diplomatic route. and if they do decide to impose the sanctions it would have to come at a later time ankara saying that this is not a great idea because if you do end up doing that we would have faced. legal and political issues we are rejecting the sanctions of course. the technician also really not appreciating my corn frances interference who appears to have taken. a very significant role when it comes to the region whistle the role

that france has been playing in lebanon and for the past months and now of course. and the summit hosting it here in front so for the time being that appears to be an attempt to de escalate said the tent increasing tensions that we've seen. so for the time being we're not talking about sanctions was certainly not talking about military confrontation between the two sides. thank you very much indeed for that to some extent if. much love as desk thank you so much. let's get more now from tech and we can the from. of just more smoke who's standing by for us in anchor. i'm just i'm just w wondering what your thoughts are as to how what was said there is likely to go down n in ankara. well this mororning the tururkih foreign mininister m mevlut chocolate s sold- told t the european parliament so foreign affairirs committee in a video conference calall. the tecech he wants the e. u. to be neutrtral inin thehe turkish greek disputs over maritime borders. so when emmanuel macron came out

solidly behind athenens as hehed ababout conferencece just nowow. turkey. wilill dismiss this as biased. . you know the marititie bordrders between greece and turkey i is a very complicated isissue- turkey o owns the maind grgreece owns dozens o of small islandss very close to the turkish soul-l- you know that'sa swimmingng right e every yeah bebetween one o of these greekek islalands had turkey- and always sleepp younow greecece. arguess ththat but- if i'm energy depost is found next to one of its either but deposit belongs to greece a and t turkey says n no- but ireland stands on turkey's continental shelf it's all. about what turkey w wts t to sosolve this issssue was not international arbitration but direct negotiaiations with greee government to gogovernment not greece has come out and said it wants to say so we're in a

position where both countries have made this. the rights declclaration was sayaying declaration butut they y han't mamanaged to followow through ad actually doo it- tonight president macron s ss the e. u.'s supports dialoguee b but te dialogue must bee based on principles i'm one of thehese principles i is what he cacallen ilillegall oil exploration. in other r wordsurkey's oil exexploration shihip musust reto portrt. but he's not going to accept that. i'm so what do the- pub could make of this issue with rick to. maritime boundaries the right to energy exploration you've just been talking about their needs the mediterranean w what what doess public opininion say. well intereststingly- an opinion poll conductedd i in both greece andd turkey a couple o of months ago found that 81% of turks standnd

solidly with their governmnment all l on the issue o of offshore energy. deposits and it also powered by strange coincidence but 81% of greeks stand behind their government on the same issue- so both athens and ankara i can be confnfident. tht they've got state populations. behind them on this point. okay well thank you very much indeed for that update from anchor front so it was just the most about thank you so much. for we go to all the world news now desperate families many of them with young children all spending a second night out in the open on the greek island of lesbos. after a massive fire swept through the overcrowded moria refugee camp destroying everything in its path. w well homeless and hungry m most of te camps twelve thousand seven hundred residents left with just the clothes they were wearing. well the greek authorities now face to face a fresh challenge because local
