says turkey has accused dozens of german companies of supporting terrorism as germany's foreign ministry issued a warning against firms and tourists traveling to the country. exposed and vulnerable a turkish news agency publishes a map showing the location of american military bases in northern syria sparking concern in washington. and freezing my approval rating plummets no other u.k. prime minister has ever been so unpopular in the month following a general election.
1:01 pm
good evening welcome you're watching out international eight o'clock am in moscow now turkey has put dozens of german companies on a list of supporters of terrorism prompting a harsh response from berlin it comes following the arrest of several human rights activists into key which is also aggravated tensions between the countries will joins us live now for more details hello there the relations between these two countries just seem to be getting worse and worse at the moment. well it's almost a weekly occurrence at the moment that we're seeing another scandal driving a wedge further between burley and and this latest one surrounds allegations made by turkey over it sixty eight companies or or did they make those allegations well they claimed initially this came out on wednesday a newspaper reports here in germany that turkey it issued a list of sixty eight companies including the likes of be a s.f.
1:02 pm
the chemical giant the largest chemical producer in the world and daimler of course make automobiles including miss eighty s benz that had put them on a list of having supported the movement which the earth one government in turkey says was behind an attempted coup last year so this then prompted the question of did these allegations actually happen while turkey said no on thursday they issued a statement through their deputy prime minister met says the sec some second beg your pardon saying that these were completely false and that germany on the turkey welcomed german in vestment investment so we contacted the german interior ministry and asked what exactly happened did you receive any list from turkey while they got back to us and said this they said the turkey did send material to the police here in germany that there was no concrete allegations made or no concrete details there
1:03 pm
and they decided not to follow it up well this is the latest in a litany of scandals between turkey and germany diplomatically it also follows on from the arrest of a german human rights activist in turkey which prompted the summoning of the turkish ambassador to the foreign ministry here in lynn gabrielle the foreign minister breaking off his holiday to come back here to the german capital and issue this statement. we will take another angle when it comes to relations with turkey because this is the conviction of martin schultz and the german chancellor to the reason much else we can do ankara has to take responsibility and we have to make it clear that this kind of politics is not without consequences. well i'm curious said that the comments from german officials are unacceptable and they're an attempt to interfere with turkey's judiciary president or one spokesperson also
1:04 pm
going on to further suggest that the timing of these comments coming out from germany may coincide with the upcoming elect upcoming elections maybe an attempt to look strong and get votes but what we are seeing is they say almost weekly turkish in germany diplomatic relations just heading further and further down the pan with no sign of them well recuperating anytime soon for took. ok thanks peter that was there peter all over there with the latest for us in berlin. well one former foreign minister told us he believes that turkey could end up paying a significant economic price. and shin of course is going up unfortunately the. statement made by. the third shows that germany is planning to bring. you even to
1:05 pm
a higher level and of course we can listen will suffer from it because when there are. four german fifty there's not the good it means that the businessman will not also the turkey germany is one of the countries that has huge investment in turkey if this investment goes down the turkish economy will suffer of it turkey's human rights record of course is not the best leverage to prevent turkey was not a part of democracy but since last year's attempted coup. things are going. down. meanwhile the american military says it's concern for the safety of its troops after a turkish news agency released a map showing the location of u.s. bases in northern syria in a comment the u.s. central command said that the sources which contributed to the story cannot be
1:06 pm
independently verified adding that it would be very concerned with officials from its nato allies would purposefully endanger forces by releasing such sensitive information here and as more. this is how america's military presence in northern syria allegedly looks now according to turkish state news agency on the dollar it claims to have detected america's hidden outposts scattered across the kurdish held areas the agency reports there are as many as ten including two air bases one in army leon which is large enough for cargo planes and used to supply kurdish forces and another in hair up here which is slightly smaller and reportedly used by military helicopters there's also said to be eight more military points which it's claimed are used to house military consultants operational planning offices and units to engage in active conflicts plus the equipment cap that allegedly includes
1:07 pm
artillery batteries rocket launchers and all made vehicles with the turkish news agency revealing washington's active operations in a war zone in thirty much detail with accurate or not it's likely upsetting for the u.s. and course the pows that ally the discussion of specific troop numbers and locations would provide sensitive tactical information to the enemy which could in danger coalition and partner force we respectfully request that you refrain from disseminating any information we chose not to disseminate all the details listed by the on an agency like the number of u.s. special forces and strategic talks of the outposts arguably a bigger question here is not about the publication's accuracy but rather why would turkey want to undermine its ally by revealing potentially dangerous details of its secret military bases well perhaps it has something to do with the location of these bases which form within the region controlled by the kurdish militia
1:08 pm
a group the u.s. considers to be a key ally in the fight against eisel but one which turkey deems as terrorists probably the turks are doing this and thinking done the same by in response to this event. thinking that you know we can tamper with turkish interests probably the turks in turn are thinking well we could probably get it to be a challenge for the american administration and other nato allies if you're not for fully respected as a former member then probably should rethink this relationship in a sense threatening need to stability now turkey is regularly slams the us over its support for the kurds but now by revealing this sensitive information it appears and correct is using more direct tactics to strike back at its nato ally. stay with syria because reports are emerging that president trump has decided to hold a covert cia train in the sr program for moderate rebels in syria where u.s.

1:10 pm
some of the weapons intended for syria were actually repeatedly being stolen by jordanian intelligence agents and then resold on the black market one former u.k. ambassador to syria told us the significance of the decision though to end the program is being overblown. it is hysterical and quite simply if you can put rush or in a headline in the mainstream media in the west that makes the news in truth being saleable it is not based on any objective reality. in this case what may turn out to be quite modest inflection of american policy long overdue supported by those pillars of the state. and the national security agency. trump getting criticized for doing something
1:11 pm

1:14 pm
failing to cope with the ceaseless flow of migrants and refugees first of all the island of sicily is the migrants primary destination after they cross the mediterranean and the port city of messina is their gateway to mainland europe the mayors of local towns have gathered together right there to discuss the issue there are seeking help from rome there you have one called liked rome and its turn is seeking assistance from the e.u. and there you have your second conflict the italian government has even threatened the european union that it could issue temporary travel visas for the migrants which is of course going to be a thorn in the side of the e.u. now this of course leads to a lot of confrontation between officials in brussels and rome we need a unity of purpose you need it international regional effort and this is why the

1:19 pm
he's scored a personal best he's never been more popular than he is right now and i think what the pollsters are most fascinated by is this b. which the prime minister's fall in the popularity ratings has taken place back in april when to resume a called the snap election her personal approval ratings a matter of her conservative party worst an all time high but she was then seemed to have waged a bit of a disaster of an election campaign she refused to take part in televised t.v. debates she did many huge turns on social policy issues and of course the u.k. was also hit by a string of terrorist attacks in the run up to the general election here and and after that disastrous election result to top it all off there was also the gren fell tower disaster which a lot of people have said has become sort of two reason may's hurricane katrina
1:20 pm
moment the prime minister was forced to apologize for the government's inadequate response to the tragedy and also for the failings that led up to it happening in the first place and if all that wasn't enough there's this sort of slow chug chug of the brags that negotiations are under way it is becoming ever more apparent that these talks with brussels are going to be long and they're going to be painful we've just time for the second part of these negotiations. wrapped up in the u.k. break that minister david davis however feet he tried to sound he couldn't hide the fact that michel barnier the e.u. chief negotiator for all effectively complaining that britain hadn't done its homework that the e.u. still waiting one britain for clarifications on a number of key issues going forward so the prime minister now has a lot to think about as the politicians head away from parliament and from westminster for their summer break. children's toys could be spying on
