welcome to the program our top story turkey's foreign minister has hit the u.s. saying he does not believe washington is a trustworthy partner tensions are escalating between the two nato allies or turkey's offensive against american backed kurdish militias in northern syria which on korea the scribe's terrorists. at the moment said the u.s. hasn't kept any promises and mr trump told president everyone on the phone that no more weapons will be given to the why should we want to see guns put into action well tensions between the u.s. and turkey have been escalating ever since the u.s. announced its collaboration with kurdish forces in northern syria but trump an air on have attempted to ease tensions but somehow that seems to have gone wrong as well the turkish foreign minister had a few things to say about all of this he first commented on the general state of affairs a between the u.s. and turkey saying that the u.s.

did not keep a quote single promise to turkey regarding the kurds and that there is no trust between the countries but he also said that the u.s. has distorted a recent phone conversation between the two leaders president trump relayed concerns the escalating violence in africa syria risks undercutting i shared goals in syria he urged taking to deescalate limit his military actions and avoid civilian casualties. the one time statement about the content of the phone call between trump and i was one was probably drafted before the conversation took place because it did not reflect the truth well turkey claims trump didn't express any concerns about escalating violence saying that it was just an exchange of viewpoints but the call comes after on current nouns that would be extending its operation and syria to another kurdish held city well the operation has been underway for over a week now with casualties on both sides but neither side seems to be willing to wave a white flag. should

be noted however that washington and encore have never been on the same page over the kurdish issue there's always been contention but they just brushed it aside as if it didn't exist so this is been brewing for years and it's now finally blowing up in their faces about regardless it doesn't seem the us is helping the situation any further so we're just going to have to wait and see what happens with political scientists going to mars believes there's a lack of trust in us turkey relations the united states you know getting to understand what it means works or for talks related to the syrian issue now they're

serious and i think to try to de-escalate the. issue between turkey and united states the most important problem between that states and turkey is that is that there is not you know nobody you know trusts their other one this is the main problem for tricky especially turkish people and turkey's government never rely on never trust in. the united states especially in with loosened issues. america's president has met with the u.k. prime minister at the world economic forum in the swiss resort of davos also i think event for us directly in the gut. after their meeting both donald trump entry some may talked about how wonderful their conversation was how much they appreciated meeting one another and what a wonderful relationship the two countries have with one another donald trump went

on to say that he really respects theresa may and that contrary to what some may believe they do have a wonderful relationship they probably. had a great relationship with them but we. don't necessarily believe that but i can tell you i wish that if you. were like you. love you that idea that the two countries still have a special relationship comes just weeks after donald trump canceled his visit to the u.k. open the new u.s. embassy there the president said that he canceled the visit simply because he thought that the deal that was brokered to sell the old embassy was a bad one but many did see that as a bit of a dent in that special relationship donald trump is here at the davos world economic forum with his america first montra most likely going to dominate his speech tomorrow and his meeting with world leaders throughout the next two days now transportation secretary said yesterday that if anyone doesn't like that message

they're more than welcome to not listen america first is a continuation of the american affirmation of american exceptionalism so i don't think well i think this you know all these questions are why the president is coming and again i think very flattered. he has chosen this as a forum. and some of those that don't want to listen to him you can they can lead you know this is part of what discourse and discussion is all about so we'll have to wait and see if anyone takes her up on that suggestion and does leave during his speech tomorrow now meanwhile we've heard already from mccraw on and merkel and they both had sort of europe first message that they were putting out which maybe isn't as nationalist as america. first but it's not globalist either which is a bit strange in the setting of this forum let's take a lesson it isn't gentleman mime my first message he said france is back france is back it's the call of europe because we will never have any friends to exist

without the europeans if between our twenty seven member states we're not able to send a clear and united message to major powers such as china india and the united states if foreign policy is made on the national level then we will feel. and today during teresa mayes speech at the conference she also had similar sentiments talking about how the u.k. would be one of the best places to open a company or to work on a lot of we would be the best country to open new businesses to start new things in the safest country to be on the internet so a lot of that sort of idea of european leaders looking at their own countries in europe as a whole as a leading force but of course we still have the rest of today and one more day tomorrow of davos and with the what else comes out of it we discussed some of those upcoming talks with economists people who feel. what do i expect from mr trump's

visit to davos dolphin lot of security police and army also you've got to bear in mind that mr trump is a stable genius as he puts it he likes to be astride the world stage and so i think because of the list of the president of china. was the great favorite star at davos last year i think mr trump wants to be the star this year i think that will be a lot of politicians wanting to speak to the gallery mr trump will be wanting to play to his political base over in the state so he wants will want to be seen to be talking tough and in a similar fashion mr mack wrong mrs merkel who's still trying to form a government in germany will also be wanting to be seen to be supporting their national self interest so i suspect we're going to be seeing quite a few fireworks. so another headline stories russia is a limpid committee has condemned the list of its athletes allowed to compete in the

winter olympics it's publish the list online before the i.o.c. is official release on sunday it sees russia's most prominent sportsmen and women have been excluded the total number of those allowed to go to south korea in two weeks' time has been reduced from an initial five hundred person squad to one hundred sixty nine uplifts russia's sports minister is the mounting justice or the competitors. for the interest of all our athletes reassure their clue we haven't had any claims in terms of doping the list doesn't include russia's most prominent athletes it's actually could be disappointing move but actually there is no surprise we heard about russia's leading athletes not invited to the games in pyongyang this february several days ago and now the country's olympic committee just confirmed it among those who did not receive the official invitation there were expecting that our top ranking athletes the country's major hopeful such as

six time olympic champion a short tread skating victory on a cross-country skier sygate to go for two thousand and fourteen olympic gold medalist. until she pauline he has his reaction to this news i was shocked by the news i thought about leaving everything behind and returning home it was my dream to compete in the olympics and i was working towards the goal through hundreds and thousands of difficulties through sweat and blood throughout my sporting career i have never given any one reason to doubt that i'm clean i've even avoided taking ordinary determines that's why it's more difficult for me to accept what's happened i was devastated by grief after receiving this terrible news later on i realise that you should never give up life doesn't end and it's important to carry on you should fight to protect your name right to the end of this decision leaves many questions and here's why early in december the international olympic committee to bend russia from participating in the upcoming winter olympic games in

kong turn following the investigation that lasted several months over. doping allegations dozens of fast lives were banned disqualified from the games but the biggest concern now is that among those who were not invited are those whose names never mentioned during this investigation their names never emerged in connection with doping allegations. so it is unclear what's behind their ban the association of international olympic winter sports federation has asked the sea to explain what is behind this decision one of their representatives has said that they are sure that their raw clean athletes among those not invited to the games it is very there is no direct proof of guilt be you tested human numerous occasions and never tested positive for a banned substance earlier the head of the international olympic committee has said

that the committee wants to invite so-called clean athletes from russia to participate in the winter games in pyongyang chan in such a way to encourage the country's new young generation but the thing is that there are those among those not invited to the games who are in fact representing this very new generation of russian sportsmen young generation and it's hard to understand how they could be encouraged by this decision and another concern which is already also very big is that this news comes just two weeks before the games actually start which means there are few chances that this sportsman could actually fight for their rights to participate maria fanaa snow well the i.o.c. recently released information on why some russian athletes have been excluded from the upcoming winter games the cover seventeen points focusing on alleged violations the panel also used reviewed information based on. a base locations presented in

the maclaurin report on alleged tampering with some boards sports lawyer lucien vallone though sees the i.o.c. is not following basic legal principles. mclaurin report was was based in the beginning especially on anonymous sources on no documents not provide that icing the zs not fair now they're trying to back it up with intelligence you see it already did prove that the report as it was used to discredit all athletes was not a proper report in the beginning timing is a little bit problematic because as you know the at leats will have very short period of time of trying to appeal or correct these decisions which are taken. view to exclude everybody who has the slightest doubt on his record and

that is not acceptable. a student in moscow has shared online the gruesome details of her murdering and raping his flatmate before committing suicide the incident has left the russian public stunned with people describing the man as a promising student from a good family our correspondent frank a went to the heights where they lived and spoke to their neighbors you may find parts of his report the stabbing. this is the area where our entity on our rented their flat together the center of moscow very close together in the universities where they study they seem to have everything to enjoy their lives in the capital the students who were once in a relationship but after breaking up they continued to share a flat in the building right there it turned out to be unbearable for art to leave

that's the right entrance they lived on the ground floor and one social media post are to describe everything he did behind these walls on one horrifying winter night it was late had been drinking when tiana and heard a room he started punching her the details of what was happening there and the next few hours are far too grisly to go into and this report but it included stabbing rape and necrophilia. after what everyone i guess would call a psychotic frenzy art to hang himself this is the entrance to their flat with a police notice but this shouldn't be the most challenging investigation for the authorities the couple's whole lives were out there on their social media accounts

for everyone to see and art films very long suicide note that he posted on his account was a full description of what happened that night where he explained his motivation. this is a very small section of the building with very few apartments and none of the neighbors here agreed to talk to us i was mad for this particular. but one security guard outside agreed to share some details lucille with this most people through the biblical story. is a boost with little to the soaps are still a good little son mode is the still not to children look at the people in the ball

into the pool. for this because. jealousy and rage have often led to climbs of passion we've seen it in movies read about it in books but seldom before have we experienced it so vividly thanks to the killer of the victim's obsession with social media. and the a tranquil well psychologist and author gina loudon told us the case highlights some of the problems with social media. social media sadly is going to attract the most anti-social in a culture and it's also going to attract those who feel the most isolated and alone in the wind and social media has given people who might otherwise be isolated for whatever reason an outlet it's given them a place where they can express themselves where maybe even people can listen to them but the bad part of that is that sometimes that same aloneness in isolation

the fact that all of your friends really exists in a computer can become a pretty harsh reality to those same people who are already perhaps mentally fragile some of these incidents are closely related between terror and murder suicides and things like the incident that occurred in moscow but again the good news is that the world can kind of watch you glance at their social media and you see something strange you can report it may very well prevent something tragic. a pakistani doctor who was the key to finding osama bin loved to spend the rest of his life in jail pakistan's authorities accuse them of helping militants and arrested him soon after the u.s. operation in me twenty eleven two american presidents have promised to get him released but it's now been seven years right goes the it picks up the story for us . you can argue dr shakil afridi helped catch the century's most wanted man the man who did this.

right there in the. sama bin laden you can also argue he was a traitor and a fraud it all depends on where you are from the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden the leader of al qaeda tonight we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome gratitude though has its limits dr afridi set up a fake vaccination program in the area bin laden was hiding in in order to collect his family's d.n.a. and give the cia proof he was there clever shortly after bin laden was eliminated dr afridi was arrested by pakistani intelligence and sentenced to thirty

three years he was charged in. two thousand and eleven of being money to the militants of that. he was assisting in medical term that he was making some arrangements for their meeting the hospital i met him in. in june and he said that i am innocent and the charges they are totally illegal dr afridi was first accused of aiding local militants and then of murdering a patient though how fair those charges is debatable a bomber tried and failed to get him out donald trump well trump is trump. dr arden yes i do i think i would get him out in two minutes i would tell them let him out and i'm sure they'd let him out it didn't fly it even upset the

pakistanis a little being threatened with blackmail it's been almost two years since trump made his both stand nothing the man who helped catch some of bin laden v icon of terrorism is rotting away in jail we believe dr afridi has been unjustly imprisoned and have clearly communicated our position to pakistan on dr afridi's case both in public and in private and the us well they bring it up once in a while that's what gratitude is worth nowadays we spoke with political analyst javed run about what the future holds for afridi as u.s. pakistan relations continue to sour. i think there's a question of this of an interview of snow here it is not the question that i want to read the marquis had the americans in look at in a somber love in a pakistani establishment cede that it wasn't that all own caucus on intelligence

and the military because that man was not schools to provide any assistance to the american cia in look at the us army london i don't think pakistan would get a hold of a country applying to be a dick and release and the reason being is quite simple because. china has invested a fifty six billion dollars in this in this one of the prime projects so baucus on is no longer financially dependent on americans as it used to be done ten years ago or five years ago and you have no longer dependent on american aid we don't need it i think i believe that box on would ever listen to the americans whether it comes to a desk to take an interest. a german judge has cause i created a trial in bavaria for removing a crucifix from his court room for a muslim asylum seeker the afghan man is suspected of threatening to kill

a fellow countryman for converting to christianity our europe correspondent peter all of our has been following the trial. this judge in the bavarian alps has found himself in the eye of a storm that's after he ordered that a crucifix be removed from his courtroom during the trial of an afghan asylum up look and accused of trying to kill another afghan convert to christianity it's a move that's caused for even the strongly catholic state as well as in german tabloid media the judge says he made the move in order to show religious tolerance how can i educate the defendant to move away from his beliefs he thinks jihad exists between christians and islamists and so i did not think it wise to condemn him under the cross i do not care if there is a cross or not when the judge addressed this issue in court i just don't really understand the problem bosses in the bavarian ministry of justice say this should

never have been an issue in the first place the presence of crosses in courtrooms does not prevent the state from up holding religious and ideological neutrality. religious rights for christine converts in germany is a hot issue particularly in places like my eyes back the town on the border with austria is where many refugees and migrants either arrived or at least passed through in twenty fifteen and the move by judge schmidt has prompted a ferocious backlash on social media dear baron people this is a slap in the face of all christians do you still want to trample on your christian will lose the right judges who live me at a loss for words such an irony in the trial of afghan islamists judge class you're against me it takes christopher s. from the war of the courtroom the sophisticated islamization in this country continues judge klaus you're going schmidt are you insane such a disgrace this story comes as the trial of

a different failed asylum applicant from afghanistan is underway in a nearby town in southern germany in that case a thirty eight year old woman was brutally stabbed to death in front of her small children the prosecution say that the motive behind the killing was that she had converted to christianity the trial is expected to continue for several more days peter all over our girl in. a saudi arabian beauty pageant has seen the competitors go the extra mile to make sure they take victory but some people have got the hump of a contestant's shooting. her .
