the u.s. secretary of state says washington will limit its support to the syrian kurds during a visit to ankara intended to improve ties with nato ally turkey. experiences being embraced by competitive from around the world at the winter games in south korea with rivals helping each other around. the specific russian athlete he offered me help technical help the fact that he was willing to reach out and help me in such a desperate time shows that sport can bridge the cultures it can bridge politics. and french president emmanuel. out of the presidential palace which has been their home for decades.
11:21 am
you're watching altie international line from a moscow studio with mina do what you do welcome to the program the u.s. secretary of state is in turkey in an effort to mend ties with ankara rex tillerson promised america would limit its arms supplies to kurdish militias. we have always been clear with turkey that the weapons provided to the syrian forces would be limited mission specific provided all experimental bases to achieve military objectives only the nato allies have been at odds over kurdish forces in syria in the run up to the meeting the turkish defense minister made clear what i am pro wants from the us. we demand that this relationship and by that i mean we want them to and all the support given to the syrian arm of the p.k. k. the white b.g. . let's take a closer look now at the two groups just referred to by the turkish defense minister the p.k. k.
11:22 am
is the kurdistan workers' party a group that's been fighting a turkish authorities for more than thirty years and quote considers them a terrorist organization the white p.g. on the other hand is a mostly kurdish militia based in syria ankara regards them as a branch of the k.k. however the us led coalition sees the white b.g. as allies in january the pentagon announced it was creating a kurdish led security force right on turkey's doorstep to northern syria in response i launched a military campaign against kurdish militias and cross has long been complaining about the us arming syria's kurds however washington insists that his weapon supplies a limited. we have never given heavy arms to the wife e.g. so there's no one to take but we need to arm and train and equip their pressure and help the kurdish government in erbil and strong and starch allies we should be using we should be doing the kurdish region to be that been.
11:23 am
really proven to be the most really do is not a long standing. supporting the kurds or the peshmerga who are on the front lines fighting isis now the turkish government considers these kurdish forces operating in syria to be terrorists and feels quite threatened by them and has been a long outspoken in demanding that the united states and its support for these forces here why does the u.s. continue to send weapons in syria even off to i suppose being clear why do these weapons still arrive because you must be pressing against america is in the process of creating a terror army on abdulla what we have to do is nip this terror army in the bud american do not encroach on our borders do not provoke us we will run out of patience tillerson has arrived in turkey and he'll be going to an embassy a u.s. embassy in turkey that is on
11:24 am
a street that's actually maimed for the military operation against those kurdish forces armed by the united states operation olive branch that's sending a pretty clear message to washington that they do not approve of this policy of arming kurdish forces the united states is caught in a strange place between two allies it's aligned with the kurdish forces and it's also aligned with the turkish government a member of nato that considers those kurdish forces to be terrorists one expert told us turkey is losing patience with the u.s. and needs more than just words from its ally. actually there i don't know what united states want but in turkey the government and the people of turkey believe that actually is of you are fed up with these words that's coming from america i'm a saint good to be you know i understand the security teams of turkey it's the same kind of big kurdish forces. turkey is expecting there's some you know not promises to do something related to syrian issue now turkey is
11:25 am
you know not waiting for any diplomatic sentences from the united states just want to keep its promises to deliver this promises to keep otherwise i think it doesn't work you know this kind of diplomatic meetings for turkey. is now one week since the winter olympics in south korea officially began less to be embracing the olympic spirit but some fans have been saluted to making online threats to reports from china unfortunately with these winter olympics the story has been that every other day yung chang treats the media with some sort of scandal so far perhaps one of the most disgusting ones for me was when a canadian short track speed skater was receiving death threats from the locals after she finished fourth first but then a south korean athlete was disqualified and then her position was upgraded to third
11:26 am
place and that's when the ugly things started happening but you shouldn't get the impression that the a look big games are doomed because in many sports there is such family spirit it's the kind of family spirit that goes first after nationality rivalry politics it said sure there was one good example when during a cross-country skiing competition a row. skier lost a part of his equipment and then an american coach rushed to help him out if the russian sphere had to do this u. turn you don't come back to pick it up that would have been a disaster for the race but thanks to the american coach it didn't happen and we talked to the man in the cross country ski family is this exactly that it's a family we often benefit from russian or no region coach is giving our athletes a pole in a race and we'll do the same i would say it's very friendly when you walk by
11:27 am
a russian athlete or coach will always say congratulations or if we've had a good race they will say congratulations to us three years ago and most of the entire russian women's team came up to our hotel in her tea and cookies with our own her continue and not many people spoke the same language we know a few words of russian a couple of them they knew some more english than we knew russian but we had a great time and it was one of those moments in my career that i remember well i guess when it comes to whole what i call rivals russia and the u.s. helping each other out in sports it works both ways and here with me i got the chang silver medalist in luge bris master who definitely knows what i'm talking about and he's ready to tell us about a story that happened to him a few months ago as far as a distant chris hi again congratulations and what's that story with the russian
11:28 am
athlete i guess helping you out yeah thank you very much it was a couple weeks ago where i was having a very difficult last season people were starting to reach out and help me and there was a specific russian athlete he offered me helpful technical help with with my i pod with with fiberglass with with aerodynamics and although it didn't work because i'm much larger than he is the fact that he was willing to reach out and help me in such like a desperate time shows that sport can bridge. you know cultures that can bridge politics that we can connect on the human level through sports and that's that's really what embodies the olympics here is that so many countries are coming together connecting through sport it really shows the power of the human spirit absolutely this is a small little step it takes a lot of people to get one of these and i can't think simulate enough for thinking about me and just trying to help me out and it's a time of need i am very close friends with with so many different russian athletes
11:29 am
and yes there's been a lot of scandals and i'm really i can't wait for the day that we can move past this and we can just get right back to sport clean sport it's so easy to talk about negative things but it's really difficult to highlight these positive situations you know who knows maybe one to a live picture this will all be behind us and we'll get right back to you know clean competition and a lot of fun and kathy's from russia it's another day another medal early on friday the team won another bronze and another silver skier this third in his race won the key to came second in skeleton that makes a total of seven medals. from russian team. now the winter olympics on the any major sporting events you might want to follow this year with the football world cup not just months away. it's into the history of one legendary football club that despite its massive influence on the game now
11:30 am
to hit the big time. which could spoil all white kicks. which quote gave all eleven players to three. which inspired one of brazil's right football clubs ladies and gentlemen i give you corinthian casuals. what actually happened was in nineteen zero seven there was a split between the if i became the i. and it was quite acrimonious to do with the amateur professional and the if i refused to allow any if i play as all clubs to appear on the pitch is all there so there was a complete split their spirit was he wouldn't you just saw in the first world. after the first.
