whole situation in turkey could have been avoided i mean. of course that the most with strong doubts. about the critics. of one. of the. many issues that if you all doors time dots. you could. skip some programs. but. this group is against the speech. they explore some democrats rights. so if. i may be. a little to do this so. many problems. can i ask you the last question and it would be a historical one because turkey is following father's including stuff i came up with that sort of made the case in their memoirs that turkey's entanglements in the middle east. verily and well and that's was part of he's argument that turkey has to be a pro western secular republic i don't know if you agree with him on the secular part but do you think fifteen twenty years from now will remain. where there's a drafting doesn't see does it still see the south as a bridge between the east and the west or is a jeff in the direction of the east both. mostly. europe. eurasia occur. so what's important is the critique in for democracy in fact the stunned our demo

the jihadists next door that makes turkey islamic for turkey and for us. it means turkey can become a recruiting tool for their ideology. there's a chapter in my book -- i will tell you more about it because you have to buy it but i want to take the other question before finishing on foreign enemies. because the polarization politics won't help him win another election, there will be another election and he has to when that because otherwise left to do what the french call. [inaudible] will be president and his parliament will come under party and the system is not set up to function like that. it set up to have a majority controlled by the present in the pilot. he will have to have akp solid majority in the next election and to not and up in. [inaudible] yes to win the election. whenever the elections are this year, or on time in 2019, foreign enemies is his only way going forward. nationalism will drive his agenda and it's easy to unify. yeah, they're very different parties but akp base and mhp -based in certain areas overlaps significantly in turkey. ag

but turkey is a huge. hardly a fortified area in terms of balance interferences your district. is located. you know you new players said it's not all so loud joe when you know the story also when you write you. start it is a part of that fight is the european union is constant yes you are negotiating with the european union. although the negotiation process is not going. but it is life. on the political side. on the. relationship. you know we are european custom union so we hope. but does this mean that. you have the european union maybe turkish people. maybe the friends. they will have a referendum on the membership. so they may see that turkey is not good for them and they may refuse this. fix them that's what i can. to the legal system that is good for us all of us and that's great to hear has specially from you let me ask you specifically about the diplomatic democratic rather. legal standards because in many of your interviews three or four years ago you used to stress the separation of powers as a ke

group that turkey has been fighting for many decades.believe the u.s. decision to arm the ypg could have severe impact on turkey's ability to fight their homegrown terrorism. on the other hand, the u.s. views the ypg and pkk as distinct entities, which turkey disagrees with and says that is hypercritical and even a betrayal. turkey have bombarded the ypg in syria before. it has engaged in combat with them through syria. it is likely it may do so again, which could bring turkey into direct conflict with the u.s., which has special forces on the ground. >> let me pull in carsten. from where you are sitting, is that anything turkey could do that would make u.s. president trump change his policy regarding arming the kurds? >> not really. i think the decision was made in early may to directly arm the mainly kurdish forces of the syrian democratic forces with guns and other equipment, including antitank guns, heavy machine guns, armored vehicles, and engineering equipment. so basically, that was in early may the signal that the offensive on ra

and the european union especially between turkey and germany could push turkey. more east and i think turkey could join this shanghai treaty organization. the really are so many things we could speak in this so many implications between the relations of the do but time is just presto we appreciate your time on your thoughts on the matter german journalist martin. hughes. a moscow court has fined five people guilty of killing high profile opposition figure boris nemtsov back in twenty fifteen one person has been convicted of shooting them soft the other four of assisting the killer all five men were chechen and pleaded not guilty the kremlin spokesperson says the man who ordered to kill is still at large and is being searched for by police barson himself shot dead two years ago crossing a bridge near the kremlin in central moscow. now in a few months time sweden will conduct its biggest military exercises in twenty years it coincides with russia holding large scale drills but there's a third event in the pipeline two on its own a very different mission there descr

to turkey. we want to be part of you but accept a rules and if you don't accept the rules you have to accept the fact that we are a little bit harder than you city elections are coming in germany and they try to use this as some. yeah that's a very famous in order not to assume jorma these kind of things and they started again i think it will carry on up to next election elections in germany. can also. be normal after the. news next this morning that italy's having to fork billions of taxpayer euros to wind down two failed banks we also have people worried and not well if they were ready to bail out the bank is. this is money that's been taken from our pockets why should we have to worry about saving the failing banks there are so many other priorities hospitals schools and small businesses are in crisis if politicians want to help the telling economy they should start with the middle class not saving the banks we've had enough no it's not right the banks do not deserve to be given this money th

place to appear not very likely but then again should we be surprised tensions between germany and turkey have been building up for months now starting with germany pulling its military from turkey is airbase and sending it to jordan after ankara denied german officials a visit to the big house on the other hand you've got turkey angry with germany for granting asylum to turkish citizens who allegedly took part in the failed cool of twenty sixteen and of course girl and also stepped in to stop turkish rallies in germany to support or want to push for broader powers in a referendum back in april germany you have no notion of democracy your practices are no different from the nazi practices of the past my comment that the nazi comparisons in turkey's part must and is valid without our butts and fortunately we see that this comparison is haven't stopped and we are not going to allow it. they would revive gas chambers in concentration camps if they weren't ashamed this is their mentality they are disturbed when we say that this is not semen. well it's no

by all the parties concerned by the special ed by turkey . toters oldest question i think that we have to be. really didn't question the need the better of the two and the motivation behind this behind these arrangements. but how good a b. on the other countries the. demand for the closure. are they prepared to demand the closure of all u.s. air bases in qatar as well i think this is a crisis that needs careful. maneuvering by all sides. why do you think that let's look at some of the other implications here why do you think that the u.a.e. sporran minister was upset about the publication of these demands and he wants that's how it. most of those because why why do you think the u.a.e. foreign minister was so upset about the publication they called to leak all these demands i mean what is there to highlight. if thou to questing get something from a sovereign nation. some of those demands may be reasonable in so far as the relationship between. these other upon trees. they may be reasonable demands but i think you know the. draw doc to be a pa

turkey's journalist with double nationality, including famous ones who have been detained in turkey. german parliament, condemnation, the armenian massacre, a whole host of factors. where do things go from here? both sides meet each other, they were at pains to say they want to preserve the relationship but this transfer of forces could be a blow. >> thank you very much. we will be back in just 60 seconds with more news. stick around. . >> germany is a strong country. we have achieved so much, we can do this is something hinders us, we must overcome it. >> going where it is uncomfortable, global news that matters. dw, made for mines. >> did you know it cost 50 said -- >> welcome back with dw news from berlin. our top stories, several islamic state have severed ties with qatar. they are accusing qatar of supporting terrorism in the region. they have denied the charges. british police have released the names of two of the men carried out saturday night's terror attack in london. one was a british citizen. he was known to authorities but there was no intelligence to suggest that he was

germany and turkey related to immigrations of me to free weezer and they are sort of promised to the development of some kind of six million dollars for the syrian. creators but they didn't deliver their promises and then when in turkey president are gone or the government when the we're speaking about this kind of things. they are you know always saying different kind of things and accusing turkey of doing something but this is not fair. the strongest economy in the world and the strongest military power i guess that both europe and the us have. to react in a proper way and to sit and to see should. we want to be part of you except your rules if you don't accept rules you have to accept that we are a little bit harder this used to be elections are coming in germany and they try to use you know there's some kind of islamophobia or to go for b. or xenophobia it's a very famous in order not to assume jorma of these kind of things and they started again i think it will carry on up to the next election in elections in germany. i think also that. the relations will be normal after that. i

have allowed usually to react in a proper way and they should too turkey you know we want to be part of you but accept the rules and if you don't accept the rules you have to accept that we are a little bit harder than you city elections are coming in germany and they try to use this as some. kind of islamophobia or to go for b. or xenophobia it is very famous in german these kind of things and this started again i think it will carry on our next election in elections in germany india and of for i can go autumn then. the relations there will be normal after a bit. less available to c.n.n. though it seems three journalists from the american network have resigned over the retraction of a russia related story c.n.n. now confirming that the reporter on the story in two editors will be leaving their posts after an article in the channel's website was found to be in violation of its standard editorial process is as they've described it the story which was based on a single anonymous source claimed that congress was investigating a russian investment fund with ties to the trump team it also

turkey has targeted kurdish white p.g. militia forces on syrian territory the attack on weapons that took place in one of the country's many hotspots the tone of offering. well here's where the fighting between kurdish turkish forces is concentrated most of the bottle is on territory this yellow area claimed by the why fight or something strongly disputed by turkey meanwhile the u.s. considers both sides allies in the fight against islamic state that hawkins looks at how the u.s. support for their rivals may actually lead to more instability in the region. it's turkey versus the kurds both of them u.s. allies and it's left washington walking a delicate tightrope between its two friends which happen to be you shall have sworn enemies. we should be using we should be looming that we do not need terrorist organizations like the p y d n y p g and the rock operation we could have a lot of great success over the next coming years a difficult balancing act to say the least but lately the scales seem to have tipped to favor the ku

support for the kurds turkey in the region. and from around the world this hour welcome to moscow to the international my names you know neal good to have your company our top story this hour the russian foreign ministry's media spokeswoman washington's allegation that the syrian government is planning a chemical attack she say such claims could be a sign of an upcoming u.s. intervention. it is even we knew about statements from washington we also knew that the u.s. officials refused to confirm the claims with any facts so we don't know what these conclusions are based on the situation looks like a massive provocation both military and informational its star getting not only syria but russia as well it's good if you're meaning it is likely that what we are seeing at the moment is the threshold of a new intervention the gist of what russia is saying is that we are witnessing the united states lay the groundwork for a full on intervention in syria an anti acid intervention and this chemical craze is part of it they're trying to j

it's turkey versus the kurds both of them u.s. allies and it's left washington walking a delicate tightrope between its two friends which happen to be you shall have sworn enemies. we should be using we should be looming that we do not need terrorist organizations like the p y d n y p g and the rock operation we could have a lot of great success over the next coming years a difficult balancing act to say the least but lately the scales seem to have tipped to favor the kurdish side after all kurdish groups have been washington's weapon of choice in the fight against islamic state the us government to supply them with arms and even sent special forces to support them we have already started to provide the weapons and equipment in the area nation to or syrian democratic forces both the syrian arizona syrian kurds so what happens to the kurds when i still on the brink of defeat is taken out of the equation will the us remain such a faithful friend probably not it turns out the weapons washington has given to its kurdish allies were ac

because turkey is an ally. we have our differences with turkey. but we are dependent on turkey for security matters. if this had never happened before, perhaps we could say that turkey just doesn't understand how we operate in this country. the fact that it was the third instance makes it particularly bother some. -- bothersome. now, we are aware of how sensitive this matter is. you cannot deal with a foreign adversary who happens to be an as if he same time were simply the enemy or our opponent. we have to understand the sensibilities of operating in the international sphere. but it's clear that turkey didn't understand that. i was particularly concerned that mr. erdogan was in his car the entire time. he could have gotten out of that car and called attention to his security detail. he could have asked the staff members to do the very same thing. instead he stayed in hits car, got out -- in his car, got out after the security detail from the d.c. police department had calmed things, stood there and had nothing to say. if we let this third instanc

america the coalition and turkey can join hands and turn rocca into a graveyard for dash. as the united states is aligned with two bitter enemies in syria the turkish government and the kurdish fighters it's got a tricky bit of maneuvering to do secretary of defense mattis says that the united states will eventually take back the weapons it's now supplying to the kurds after the defeat of isis and this is turning into no small matter at this point the united states is shipping in heavy machine guns mortars other small arms and even some armored vehicles it's totaling over one hundred million dollars worth of war toys a large portion of which are going to the kurds when it's all finished some five hundred u.s. military personnel will have the task of collecting it all in an area that's almost the size of pennsylvania maybe they'll knock on doors and say hey you know those weapons we let you yeah you're finished with them right and who knows what answer they might get the united states has promised to monitor the area and send out a monthly report that will include photograp

he stressed it was not appropriate given the tensions between turkey and germany. two particular elements, one, the number of people in germany with turkish descent. they do not love the turkish president to talk about the tensions in the country and export this complex to germany-- those conflicts to germany. a few months ago, we already have a debate in germany about turkish officials being allowed or not being able to hold rallies over the british referendum. >> the foreign ministry has decided that in the future we will not allow campaign appearances that only serve to import domestic conflict from other countries into germany. >> german-turkish relations have been strained for months now. could this be merkel wanting to be seen as taking a firm stance against turkey with her eye on the elections? >> you can see it that way. every decision in the next few days and weeks will be analyzed as part of the debate, as part of the process leading up to the september election. in this particular case it is much more than a decision referring to the election. it was a d

will have to likely admit its mistakes and this point it doesn't look my germany or turkey are ready to do that began francis and thiago r.t. going to expert opinion on where german turkish relations stand than at the moment . but everyone can see so weeks ago exactly because life got misbehaved badly and this is exactly will generally don't want to see it on its own territory ok in turkey we have some you know mistakes related to democracy and some shortages but they should how to improve it better than to you know to push turkey towards the east if you look at germany politics what's tricky over the last few years in germany has accepted every. into lightness and in every the relations of the church thought and this has gone too far now a lot germany tries to set limits europeans are champions of democracy and home arise when we speak about the middle east but then. speak about the home or rise and move number ites in europe they are you know of some kind of double standards and hypocrisy as tricky isn't the strongest economy in the world and the strongest military power i guess th

no problem for mr president turkey we believe this is the only country that doesn't have conflict of interest with its neighbors because everybody else does i mean the russia has so many conflicts of interest with its neighbors you maybe they like exception but i guess my point was that the way the means that the cherokee chose to intervene in the syrian crisis may have long been. the most efficient means because as you pointed out there have three million refugees that you have to deal with it's a big burden on the budgets certainly not all your goals have been achieved in which but you have to remember of the beginning of the problem it was not the turkey it was the syrian people. that. the more freedom so they made the most crucial for this. regime. sold them.

in this and open this up to the stage that i was talking about it's also extremely important for turkey that's where the pipeline is heading towards so on this special occasion vladimir putin made a phone call to type barito on right from the pioneering spirit they talked about and they congratulated each other on that occasion but moscow's ultimate goal here is to deliver its natural gas to southern iraq and south eastern europe that's the extension that moscow is eyeing here but you know russia's attempts to build a gas pipeline and the black sea really these attempts have turned into a saga where remember before that there was the so-called south from here to bulgaria that got scrapped because of pressure from brussels then moscow came up with plan b. and that was the turkish stream but it really was in jeopardy and was holten for a while when ankara shot down that su twenty four russian fighter jet over syria then finally when relations were restored in twenty six doing. the project was back on track and i can tell you what right now it is finally enforced way i saw it with my old e

the failed coup attempt the last year in turkey saw tensions rise after germany said it may consider offering asylum to some of those who took part or accused of taking part in that coup attempt there was also a diplomatic for rory over the president to one side wanting to campaign here in germany during the referendum that they held earlier this year they were tonight the rights to do that that flared things up and there's also been name calling from ankara towards in which even president the one going as far as accusing the german government of nazi tactics all of this between two nato allies who are really at the lowest ebb when it comes to their diplomatic ties your next world news update for me is in just over half an hour across talks next though on whether there's any way out of the saudi led blockade of qatar and the overall tensions right now on the gulf been injured. social environment. right. chemical discoveries over the last century made every day life easier but at what cost this is cereal is exceptionally sick. no wonder it's confidential. cysts as the years old indust

and we've also seen turkey and germany clash when it comes to the comes to germany potentially giving asylum to some of those who are accused of taking part in or at least organizing the attempted coup in turkey last year the very latest in this diplomatic snafu that keeps deepening is that president after he attends the g twenty summit here in in germany which will be and how coming up on the seventh and eighth of july after that he wants to address the turkish population who live in the state of north rhine-westphalia it's a big there's a big turkish population live in that particular part of western germany however he's coming up against a brick wall when it comes to finding a venue he try to book a place in dos and he was told that it was already booked he tried to book a place in oberhausen was told that it's gone through going to bed of ations during that time so we are seeing is although solutions have been found to the immediate problem of where to place the blunders there is air force takes part in that coalition against isis the big point is still continuing and it we're see
