uh, you know, problem an issue in turkey. that goes back to the very origins of the targeted republic. there is definitely a way forward in terms of uh, keys and that in terms of settling this conflict, it definitely depends on the uh, you know, good wheel and uh, the, the understanding of the interest of both sides. but uh, you know, even though there has been, uh, conflict over the past several decades or in the early republican era, between the curves on the charge of republic that are just government. that does not mean that, that has to be the, you know, the future of course, of this relationship that there is a historical precedents which can be drawn upon cold upon in terms of charging and new passing turkey on. i think, you know, as long as there is some serious goodwill and if negotiations are being conducted in good faith on both sides, but in particular uh on the side of the turkish government, given that it to the dominant, the party in this conflict that there is a very good and decent chance for peace. who knows

what turkey would 111111 11111111 like turkey.fi'f. it�*s about elong: taken think it�*s about being taken as part of that seriously as part of that it is clear that family. it is very clear that over the last decade and a half, the relation between turkey and europe has become a lot more distant. what present and is and|slook|ng77 w w wihdiétééuhgisf w w w ww w wahd7igl7ooki7nngot7isw w w w ww w wahd7istookithfotwisswome w w i do and is looking for is some re—legitimisation the eyes europeans. of europeans. eff; to natalie. we talk to you, natalie. we to keep a close eye on continue to keep a close eye on what happening the venue what is happening at the venue for security summit. saw for the security summit. we saw on a france arriving president on a france arriving �*minutes ago. will keep 7 eic7tu7ré; 7 eictuié; fowrw ww 7 eictuié; f67r77y57u.7 7 eictuié; fo7r77yo7uwyou those pictures out for you. you can keep an eye on all the comings and goings for this summit. joining me now is dr neil melvin who is director of thank you for

so it will, it can only how really, you know, impact towards turkey and turkeys energy security. so i had the meeting off tomorrow in london. i think uh, so there are some corrections with within each side of the complex and that one some uh, you know, that they are seeking for some personal age on this rather than having a prosperity in the region. so when it comes through the alaska side, so i think they were just trying to have some oper, hon. the head of the are meeting with the drum. but now a 2 plus 2 is not for animals because as jang is on one side, if you have no place to escape, then you will start as acting. so it's, it's really basic uh, you know, method of understanding the, the understanding of science are right now because trump was right in just one topics. even though i don't find it as it goes. what happened in white else yesterday because there were, even if you don't like him, you wasn't presenting a site that's like this. but trump was right in saying ukraine has no cards. now, european union has no cards, and that's why a charge these sensors, these technolo

of course the pick occasion the t a gun to present all comes in turkey. but the, because of the main was a ment appropriate for turkey because after, because of weather for the kids of the military development they're on more than 50000 has been to both sides. so that means i think 4 trips and it's gonna be the good of the then populate for trinity to stop the new phase off of the solution after this voicemail is and to keep them. that's news, therefore uh for the kids the after this step 3 sounds good, all known enough to be done today, the pick our case the has declared the ceasefire for today. so let's move it to you should also have a serious paternity to this step to be uh, to be successfully done. because uh uh, for example, the carriers do, they said the old july should be, they need how they going to join the confidence of the coffee to dissolve those pump, the, the, the puppy without the, the physically on the online presence. and also, if it is a pinch off, leave us off, ben, puppy the broker this puppy, and to keep in prison, know they should b

the security to middle east trade west coast vision is taking roots loose feeling 10 turkey and russia are aware of a new world order. emerging western head gemini, is eroding, and with it's a new multi lateral world, is being built. russia and turkey are shaping it together. rushes initiatives from ukraine to syria are more than piece stocks. there's a foundation of a multi po, the world with turkey is partnership and us a go sions back on must cause leading to the shift. wow. that rose of this and he is, i always a pleasure to have your company last here on asi international. let's see. don't com. that's right. so is that movie that some of the out the the the whole from the fi, you know, just like dozens of other ukrainian souls might have gone unnoticed. but the pirates contacted journalist to ensure this boils would go public. and so the name of the ship that home, the biggest shipment of arms became known over the world. and we'll address this issue on snyder. other 3 said the duncan chase to spend the groceries and you just download them. there is to put this out there to progre

the foundation of a multi poto world with turkey is partnership. and us a go sions back on must cause leading to the shift bow to south east asia. and the name is who are full. so for us gamma peroration in me, and i would send into that home and i'd be united with the families all 3 quarters, one and i'm backing up a to, to me as the story free at last. a beautiful nightmare ordeal. these 84 nations are finally back home. only a week ago, there were still trap in myanmar, forced to work in online scam operations. after being lowered by false drop offers the are the living breathing result of indonesia is commitment to rescue and re petri its citizens. and present is human trafficking around south east asia from 2020, to february 2025. and the nature of the ministry of foreign affairs has recorded at least 6800 in the nation citizens involved in online scans across the time countries with the majority phone and come bodya, the philippines and the on mar. but the real number likely even higher the, the nation government has been working to rescue it

now, european union has no cards, and that's why a turkey stands, turkey sector, a g i that they have been trying to threaten turkey in terms of energy because they can not, you know, they're to lose 30 by just directed targeting it, turkey and russia. we together used to say some serious measures in the black sea because otherwise, they will probably try to just summarize your relationship between turkey and russia. by hoping that it might have some furniture around notifications when it comes to relations with the united states. and now to washington, where 24 hours on the dust has still not settled on the dramatic events of the oval office. what it was supposed to be. a constructive meeting between donald trump and ukraine's flag and his the lensky, descended into one explosive route, with the bitterness and resentment all caught on camera. what makes america a good country? is america engaging in diplomacy? that's what president trump is doing. can i ask you? sure, yeah. okay. what do you mean? i'm talking about the kind of diplomacy it is going to in the destruction of your count

now european union has no cards and that's why a turkey stands turkey sector in p. i that they have been trying to try to in turkey, in terms of energy because they can not, you know, they're to lose 30 by just directed targeting it, turkey and russia. we together used to say some serious measures in the black sea because otherwise, they will probably try to just several sides relationship between turkey and russia . by hoping that it might have some perjure around the conditions when it comes to relations with the united states. because we know the united states is isolating, it's still just it did in the past in 19 century. but now the circumstances are entitled different and windows for new calibration and understanding between russia, cherokee, and the united states. there will be no winner of this new episode, action and now to washington, where 24 hours on end dust has yet to not settle on the dramatic events in the oval office. what was supposed to be a constructive meeting between donald trump and ukraine's loved him? is it lensky, descended to one explosive

turkey is a nato ally. they are also an example of a backsliding democracy that was never able to reverse course. so the ominous example, erdogan is a poor role model in my view for president trump. not quite as bad as mr. ormonde in hungary, the principal exemplary. we know hungary, also a nato member, part of the eu and very complex set of relationships. we know countries like turkey, sensible allies, turkey has been a good ally in some ways in nato historically. as well as countries that have a more intense or even hostile relationship with the u.s., and even friendly countries. every foreign national that you deal with is an intelligence risk. their nations all want something from the united states. so in that environment, to have enforcement action where we are trying to cut off in the adams prosecution, establish accountability for an american official. in my judgment, the evidence was quite strong. to see this unraveling where you have ended quid pro quo that are alleged. not only that adams did favo

it was very much in america's interest to put those missiles in turkey. when khrushchev found out in april of 1962 with those jupiter missiles were in fact operational in the soviet union. khrushchev was furious. and he told his defense minister when they were at a meeting in bulgaria, he said -- what he meant by that was he was going to try to put missiles, russian missiles into cuba pointed at the united states to offset the jupiter missiles in turkey pointing at the soviet union. and there is no doubt that during the negotiation that led to the end of the cuban missile crisis there was talk on both sides about getting american missiles out of turkey, russian missiles out of cuba. one dependent upon the other. where i part company is good while those talks were going on, no question about it. the decisive, what was of fundamental importance of the time was not the sideline discussion about an exchange of missiles, but in the middle, the decision by one of the two leaders of the time, namely the russian leader khrushchev, his decision on that fateful sun

their joints, commitment to stability, a stepping stone to broader influence. russia aims to use turkey has leverage to engage politically diplomatically and even militarily with serious new actors. currently, russia already has basis in how may mamma and to love talk here. because this is 3 plus 3 initiatives that divide circuit extends rushes reach. sidelining, western dominance of courage, a retired veteran and bassett, or frames. this as part of a seismic shift rushes peace efforts are building a multi polar world. where regional powers, not one superpower calls the shots. from blacks, the security to middle east trade, west coast vision is taking roots, loose ceilings and turkey and russia are aware of a new world order. emerging western head gemini, is eroding, and with it's a new multi lateral world is being built. russia and turkey are shaping it together . rushes initiatives from ukraine to syria are more than piece stocks. there is a foundation of a multi po, the world with turkey is partnership and us a go sions back on must cause leading to the shift. all right, so to south

it is eu, u.k., norway, turkey.a large coalition involving turkeys military and what role they can play. norway will hit 2.16% of gdp on defense and they share a border with russia. i said is it time to take the money into defense, that's not over doing. is it time to think about investing, the geostrategic arm, build out defense, no, they don't want to. there is strong rhetoric but they will have to do things to build up. tom: indeed and europe still needs input on security and intelligence and defense in the secretary of defense called upon the pentagon to stop operations against russia, walking back on moscow. indeed. norway was invited to the summit over the weekend. fenlon says russia will not stop with ukraine if it is not counted with strength over cease-fire. they spoke to francine. guest: no one can trust vladimir putin but do not underestimate trump's negotiations, understand that if the deal shows weakness we have all lost. it's an issue about the triangle of statehood, independence, sovereignty and terri

and those with the sporting devices for the goods and the turkey government. and the directors of thought are, these are on the same side of the page right now. so there is a reason that they are waiting for this consent and consensus. uh uh for make a political stability in city i because with the, i will do this kind of the compromise and the consent and the consensus between the codes and the between to key it is lots to achieve the a stable cd onto the current circumstances via there is a lot of stakeholders are involved. so the 2nd thing is this. that'd be 40000 people. since this move it has been started, has been data. so i think that that is a major room in law. so and the sufferings of the people and those non ottam divorces, like in the good the room but the binding, the 20 percent of the land for the couldn't just on and all of this. i think that that is also that would be a major concern for them in the future. yes, we're up. indeed, why i didn't find that means we can quite nicely to my next point because it is important to note, but not ok. these

so turkey may use it this incident to reassert its role as it may the age of cooling, a cooling for the escalation and offering to officially 8 dialogue between russia and ukraine. and also we have from trump also has been saying that the president, the he has been val alone in, in, in terms of fees trustees. and he can also play a critical role for ending this for a long conflict. all right, we have to leave here now delta med jackie poto, assistant professor at marty in the article university. thank you so much for your insight. thank you. right, it's been reviewed that the us national security advisor was one of those tasked with giving ukraine's loved him is the last key, his marching orders from the white house. you follow the ghost of exchange and the oval office with donald trump? how do you come in salt? someone when you're practically begging them for money and assistance? when you're wholly dependent on the, the lark asked to be american people and then walk into their white house in their own hall offers. and try to be argumentative and insulting. in fact, checking. so we mad

ready and among geostrategic issues, russia, israel, turkey, east, and west iran terrorism. it is a mess, rebuilding it, trying to bring back the people so that they are one after the higher as of the side is going to be usually difficult. there are bands of unemployed former soldiers, barbara baptists, who are going to cause trouble. and so the work is cut out for them. okay, well the, obviously the 1st step for one of the 1st steps is to get this enter in government announced and up and running that there's 2 committees obviously that we mentioned before. that will be part of that. they will be appointed by the president, and i got ahold, significant power with no external over size. is that concerning it, or how do you think it's we're going to work? i don't know, and nobody else does the fact that there's no external to oversight. maybe a good thing or a bad thing. these are individuals who do not have any track read, probably not known all that well to the west. and each of them is dealing with an extraordinary problem. the country is collapsed. there was no government.

and so after the abolishment of slavery, 80, and turkey it, the british now look as we are for cheap labor day move the in. yeah. the indians came on the or on the ridge meant call the indent or ship. of course, the majority of the indians were hindus approximate the 17 to 20 percent of the indians who came where most things they were allowed to practice their religion. they were also allowed to congregate in the, in the 6 is most of them start to leave diana and will brought to study the slum, named mostly more focused on getting the ariba egypt less then start to rock this as my more in performing the prayers, more regulated must it sacked open. uh, is there a standard with need for the arabic language and the you would appreciate a our big language us being thought by an hour of the set i'm either going on with the law. ok. believe this thought if the site then sort of baja, this may not have enough mom about the, the kind of just been melody him and he had done well. and that's all i do that even though a lot of the sat in the cities and the let the 100 of them and do most of us,

an in term government led by on that l . shara, following the fall of president bush charl assad, turkey it has warned, it will resume military operations against kurdish fighters if there does all of that process, fail the out loud. curtis on workers party known as the p k. k earlier declared to cease fire after it's jail leader of della urge loans call to lay down arms. those are your headlines. the news continues here on l. g 0 after the fans who make football. the me the early 1949 pages. such a little tape, the cause of blank people's trump. the world war 2 was rage. and this city was a refuge for many trying to escape the nazi rooms. thousands fled to hear from you're hoping for a safe passage to prison or the united states the stairs. you slipped the coach atkinson's for so he had found her to come up to give the cause of blank, of course. but to continue so little plus now she planned to take over a small custom to do something truly belong. the less for the sake of the main as ego spring child grew into one of the african streets quoting institutions. roger, cuz up like the only

ready and among geostrategic issues, russia, israel, turkey, east, and west iran terrorism. it is a mess rebuilding it tried to bring back to people so that they are one after the r, as on the side is going to be usually difficult. there are bands of unemployed former soldiers for a baptist who are going to cause trouble. and so the work is cut out from the problem is that syria, which is an important place by itself, is a tertiary issue. obviously ukraine is a focus of the united states and the mission, the meeting, the president trump had been present. zalinski yesterday didn't help things, but they're still the cause, the issue of phase 2. and so how serious get squeezed into, among those to really larger issues is going to be very, very important. my recommendation is that the united states should temporarily relieve most of the sanctions. it would be relatively easy to find out which ones have the greatest leverage which still retain the capacity to reimpose them at the situation wards. but given the fact certainly in america, we do not have a government. we have a pres

many out of countries where a sort of doing a similar kinetic scene because at that time is real and turkey, we're moving from a boldly on into the syrian territory. there is a rush as presence in ukraine. we know about, is there a israel's operation in gas? donald trump is now talking about expanding american borders officially by quite acquiring greenland and canada. i wonder if you take that all as sort of isolated incidents or do you think perhaps the some of the countries have become far more liberal when it comes to redrawing the map. i think that we are mixing as many issues together. the 1st is no to sufficient of similar a you'd effort to bucks on strikes. that is was a result of the intelligence base report that need to be cover this work order and a, and the, and do a planning. so those are precision strikes based on incursions and not on the one nationalism one. and then a similar strike took place the back in last, last rules. again, the same intelligence base. the reason was that these 2 people, they are taking folks really know what's on the as for the you in the report, the

turkey i think is also very interesting, does it have to be just europeans?rainet atone ukrainians, be and theuk... i-h- uhrainet along ukrainians, be enough? and theuk... i-h- uhrainet alng ukrainians, be enough? at with ukrainians, be enough? at least in the short term, to allow some sort �* pathway to allow some sort of pathway to an agreement, to a deal? a, an agreement, to a deal? couple of weeks ago people were 110,000 trgops, that talking 110,000 troops, that total fantasy. talking 110,000 troops, that totalfantasy. i the was total fantasy. i think the wording the british side a reassurance force, was a reassurance force, ukrainians are on the front line, they will be behind line, but they will be behind it to help against it to help ukraine against russian aggression. the problem have got as webavegot is thatas people webavegot is thatas people we have weioavegot is thatas people we have spent years europe and taking all the sort t all the sort of t all the sort of force t all the sort of force you t away all the sort of force you be a credible need t

was exported 1st to mexico and then beyond the western hemisphere in places like symbolic way turkey focused on india and thailand. the impact was tangible within a decorative, so i'll think agriculture technologies being implemented. attention was focused on seeds and soil, high yielding crops that were easy to have as sheets were developed through skilled grading and genetic modification. the slope was also supercharged with modern irrigation systems sprayed with pesticides and enriched with synthetic certain lives. in the initial decades, it was hard to see the green revolution as anything but a success. agricultural production jumped policy more consistent on the price of food plunged in some places it actually prevented mass starvation. in fact, in 1970 the american agronomist to let the green revolution norman bold received the nobel peace prize for his efforts. it is true that the tide of battle against hunger has changed for the better during these past of 3 years. but the nice that shiny glee machine was some really big problems when they introduced lucy, you know what to me

on that of shara following the fall of president for charlotte sought after 14 years of civil war, turkey it has warned, it will resume military operations against kurdish fighters if there disarmament process fails. the outlaw curtis den workers party known as the p k. k earlier declared a ceasefire after it's jail leader. abdullah urge lands call to lay down arms. those are your headlines. the news continues here on l. g 0. after the bottom line, we'll see you then the . ready a hi, i'm steve clements and i have a question. it president trump the leaves, the e u was created, the quote, screw the united states. what does the future hold for european american relations? let's get to the bottom line. the suddenly rush, it is america's friend again, also suddenly, europe is being accused of hypocrisy about it's liberal democracy, and it's being lectured about how it can take uncle sam to be uncle sucker. the us led talks to in the ukraine where are being held without ukraine and european countries were cut out as well. as donald trump argued that they didn't do anything to end the fighting

rushes for a minute for surgery, a lab robin for me is that produce can afford the for administer of turkey alpha. what is happening here seems to pay closer tension. so ukraine service tax take a listen. the minister honestly asked his took his counterpart to use encore, his capabilities in working with kids to stop such attempts by the key of regime to carry out terrorist attacks against civilian infrastructure. feet on a showed that the necessary measures would be taken. crane have a weaponized as their transit for russian natural gas to europe a long time ago. and the 3rd stream that was attacked has been beat, so rude, supplying a russian gas to southern and south eastern europe, not just fixture the map. so that's greece, serbia hungry bulgaria, slovakia and ball. stan, here's the golden. uh uh, that's certainly had an effect. so not only on a regular consumers, but also on inside economy's international voc, as i mentioned, is just one of the countries in the europe that was affected to take a listen to this. the slovak republic will not support ukraine, neither financially nor milit

case is it has declared to cease 5 with turkey. is government ending decades of fighting. it comes days off to is joe laid out of the also long cold on the group to, to spend and to some is appeal was read out by pro curtis politicians on says that the group has issued a statement cooling onto a key to release or show on who's been in prison for 26 years, or let's just bring you some pictures from the last couple of minutes in london with president zalinski from ukraine is expected to meet his stomach is due to me in the next few minutes. obviously this comes less than 24 hours off to his extraordinary public arguments in the oval office with a vice president funds, as well as donald trump. in the last few moments, and we've heard from the polish president who has basically caught them, the ukranian president, that he should get back to negotiating table with president trump. as you can see, stomach and zalinski meeting. now obviously looking for a way of fluids for ukraine into number 10 downing street. 0 now is we can hear ripples is cool out to christians once the once

wind continues to blow down the black sea, bringing those wintery conditions to the north east of turkey. the shot was stopped to move away from the balkans. and it's me so appear a picture here. that's not the case. unfortunately with you. i barry and punch that we but more heavy rain pulling into east and pox is spending some showers stretching across and so forth. school. but there's lots of sunshine at southern roles and to the west of that person and the island violence and heavier rain. however, moving into scotland on choose day now in terms of temperatures, they will be picking up evans as impressing double digits of the on monday to similar story for also on choose day. but we'll see a cool down for took here by tuesday of the the agriculture revolution promised abundance, but it's damaging the planet. this is destroying the habitat that tries leeway explodes. how sacrificing by the best, the teeth, a maximum view is leading complete insecurity and threatening on the very existence of leaving the self based on able to adapt to climate change reaping what we so full hell the plan

i have won the lead $35.00 times, but not since 2022 in turkey, if and a bus that goes to say, moreno is not taking legal action against god. that's us. all right. after the accused him of racism is suing for around $50000.00 for what he calls a tax on his personal rights. got assessor. i previously said they would sue him for accusing the bench of jumping like monkeys and criticising. took his referees moreno is given a full game by no for his comments, by the toughest football feather ration it is exactly one year until the women's asian cupcakes off in australia, asia's top 12 teams will go head to head over 21 days. the tournament will be held across 3 cities. sidney the gulf coast campus for $60000.00 fans are expected to watch australia is matilda play in the opening match. stadium, australia and sydney will face the fine. the 1st one is asian cup was in 1975. who makes it the oldest international him is football, competition. china are the defending champions that have won the trophy of record 9 times. the tournament also serves as a qualifying event for the women's woke up and

maybe within nato, a reasonably big military pilot, and nothing like the us or turkey, but it's still some would question whether it has the capability to lead this sort of operation. we understand the from is also offering to help the other countries that are much less willing. i may not be part of the condition of the winning. what will be the attitude of germany? we have a shots, the chancellor here at the meeting today representing jeremy of course he is not going to be the johnson for much longer as the coalition negotiations continue here . so i'm gonna plan from the u. k. a plan, the other countries now and as we go through all of the different countries of the 10 digit listen to them. all the leaders speaking to that price. because each of these leaders is accompanied by a small group of journalists and each will give a little brief thanks to them. we perhaps can get some idea of how many countries are willing to join such a condition. and i think we'll get an even bigger picture when on says say the 27 countries of your opinion meet for us. another summit is going to take pla

that is the pleasure of coming from turkey. some of the things that i've heard of going to possibly be discussed guilt while, while they're here. one of them is the worry among nato members. the perhaps told trump will pull back the troops that were put in place of to the invasion of ukraine. there are 10000 us troops in poland. i think there are gonna be some discussions behind the scenes of what they to who would fill that role. and i think it would be very, very difficult for them to do that. and to find those troops quickly, also remember that those $300000000.00 a frozen assets of russian assets that are in the hands of the you, you at the moment that you use, taking the interest from dice. but it's not sees that money that is still under discussion until another possibility to some of the other discussion is every time that russia hits the tom is a new cat. ukraine. they could say, well, that's a power station rebuilding that is going to cost certain. so a $1000000.00 and we will seize that specific amount of money. so ro

the turkey should become the host of those sort of bypassing the us. which moment sees itself as the piece broke up times. uh as the say a lot to discuss. but the central to the discussions will be security guarantees can explain what's at stake. yeah, so, but it means that that is something that's been discussed for many months. now you crank clearly things, but it, conte, trust russia are the guarantees back in 1994 when you try and gave up. it's nuclear weapons that that ukraine security then and it's boat is, would be secure. then after 2014, that was uminski agreements. and of course, despite all of that, that was the invasion 3 years ago. the us is supposed to act as the ultimate guarantor for this. but is there any trust from the ukrainians with the united states, the u. k. and friends have suggested, if the u. s. was going to act as a back stop, potentially sending troops to monitor any c spot. that's an idea that's firmly opposed. in most cases, these are recent comments from the russian from and as a 2nd level. as most of the social cost of t

the role of the us, it is wanting to perform perhaps turkey could be the venue for talks between russia and ukraine. lots of ideas floating around the discussion, still going on that supposed to, and pretty shortly when i think it'll be clear on what they've decided here. but it doesn't mean you're going to get definitive outcomes here, maybe some new ideas because they're all going to be the summit. it's going forward . and another one on the 1st day of european leaders is taking place in brussels. okay, what is central to these discussions are obviously the security guarantees for you crying? we hits domiciled this is a once in a generation mine and it can you just explain, give us a bit of context here about exactly what is at stake. yeah. well, the central idea that is being sold about for some time and talks to file is this deal for a cranes, minerals, and then deal with the c solve backs by security guarantees with problems. and the u. k. floating the idea that it might send troops if that was a back stop of the as i say, of support from the us. but that would require those countr

. 50 it's maybe turkey. with that exception, the western europeans have completely underachieved and underperformed, and they've had three years to increase military spending. you know, whether it's as a percentage of gdp or an absolute numbers, and they're just not doing it. the germans are the worst example. they talked a huge game in february of 2022 after the war started. and then they completely abandoned their commitment. so it's going to require keir starmer because the uk is the only country that�*s punching above its weight at 2.3% heading to 2.5. it�*s 2.3% heading to 2.5. it's inadequate. and so is the us defence spending at 3.3 also inadequate. but at least they're spending a lot more and are a lot more committed to defence and security than the rest of europe. >> now, zelenskyy made a big deal about the fact that donald trump met putin before him. it wasn't any special visit or state visit or anything like that, but it was just a meeting. yeah. now zelenskyy has been offered a meeting with the k
