moreover we discussed the implementation of the e.u. turkey agreement we stand by the commitments we had in two and one hundred to make sure also in the future that funds provided by the european union for refugee projects is made available without bureaucratic obstacles or. cooperation regarding the committing of terrorism is also to. intensify as we have a lot of contacts that will be reactivated after ministerial level we also see an intensive dialogue of foreign affairs ministers not just concerning matters of foreign policy but also instances regarding german schools in turkey all questions important to turkish citizens living and we would like to live their cultural life here so on the one hand we do have a chance to teach again tristin enjoying good relations. and germany also has an interest in developing this relationship but on the other. particularly in all these questions. a democratic free society what that should look like there are some very profound i said misunderstandings but i meant to say differences of opinion and sometime

which was true of course but just from a sort of up very principled position that turkey was just didn't belong to e.u. and that was a big mistake because at that time. was actually fulfilling you know taking positive steps and we the democrats in turkey we need it germany's support i think that should not be. forgotten she's a. not necessarily a friend of you know she's also a very pragmatic political leadership things about her own political future and the refugee deal deflects that having said that the. about economic crisis i do want to emphasize you know the arab on and his government they're acting like a lazy student you know like a spoiled child when things go fine he claims he all the credit to himself and to his government and when things go wrong he blames everybody else that turkey is in the coming crisis it's his own fault and i find it actually appalling to hear from german high level politicians including s.p.d. leadership that germany should actually help turkey it is his policies of this expecting the independence of the central baghdad cetera i mean you the can name it that has cause

missiles from russia which is not compatible with with nato so it's turkey is a were is and should be a reliable partner for the e.u. but right now there are a lot of challenges in that area we've talked a lot about what turkey might be looking to get out of this visit what president are the ones in here is what about in germany were saying both sides need each other what does germany need from turkey well germany needs a stable turkey that's clear that's what the german government is also voicing they've been saying that from the beginning when turkey started having these comic problems these financial issues germany said well we need a stable turkey why does germany. stable turkey well of course there is the the refugee issue which is really really crucial turkey is hosting more than three million syrian refugees and with the e.u. deal that turkey made it has been really blocking syrian refugees from leaving turkey and coming to europe and that's really important actually is an agreement that the e.u. signed with turkey on slowing the flow of refugees so this is an important one it is an important one and they al

to get the same financial support he wants to gets funds he needs funds because turkey's economy is depending on the e.u. but turkey is not the same turkey any more and some in berlin even call it that add on republic so you know those is germany ready to give our go on. what he needs i'm not sure i think it will have to be witnessing a change in bilateral relations but also a change in turkey's process officially it's not ended but i mean you have mentioned the e.u. process and e.u. has no leverage on un turkey anymore what could be a way to convince our dong or to make a move in a certain direction is of course the economy and dimension and as for. as i understand where they're going to try to do that but fred at the moment the message from the german side is go and knock on the door of the i.m.f. the international monetary fund that is the right address for the problems that you offer a single t. he cannot do that no i don't think that berlin is is saying you know regarding financial aid yes turkey would have to go to the two i am if but we are forgetting something after twenty six of july two thousa

one that turkey is still formally in the e.u. accession country so it is it should be expected should be forced to you know your torso mccrary to remember nato member to it and secondly it is reliant on like putting it is completely dependent on you know germany and the e.u. this is really an opportunity to press hard. to try to get whatever you know concession that the german government can get and not just for german citizens i mean i find obviously it is certainly disconcerting from the german perspective that german citizens are in jail in turkey but also that elected parliamentarians kurdish part of ontarians elected kurdish mayors journalists academics you know i mean you name it that these people are injured and these are europeans to write because turkey's also council member and so i think their dens to be a holistic approach here not to single out you know all sort of german citizens but to. really pressure to add on to change of course he will never be a democrat he will make such you know he can we can expect him to s

they already reached their limits in what they can do but i believe that in this case this whole e.u. turkey deal would need to be renegotiated missed out on would ask for much more financial and human syrian assistance from europe and that's something europe seems to also take into consideration seems to be aware of the german foreign minister visit to turkey this week and he said in the case off such an military offensive on the lip germany would consider to step up its humanitarian assistance to countries like turkey. in istanbul thank you. middle east analyst i don't gather is the editor in chief of the german middle east a magazine. welcome to the studio tanya thank you so nothing concrete out of today's meeting between russia and iran other than let's keep talking absolutely that doesn't mean by the way that this offensive will start tonight or tomorrow. the fear is there and the political pressure has been raised but that does mean that the events of months must stop now to the russians have started bombing. targets inside italy but frankly they've been doing this since some time now

refugees sitting in turkey desperate to get to europe there is the worry of an economic crisis banks and businesses here in germany would be badly exposed to that and there are worries in the e.u. about turkey's continuing move towards russia as its alienation from the west continued so keen perhaps the germans now to bring mr earlier one closer to the fold rather than to continue pushing him away ok then at the moment many thanks. now in a few hours from now the u.s. senate judiciary committee will vote on the fate of doubleton supreme court nominee that has had testimonies from. trance nearly nine hours from brett coming on the woman who accused him of sexual assault when they would teenage is a washington d.c. muslim jordan has more. historic hearing in washington a woman recounting a traumatic event for her teenage years and here today not because i want to be and terrified versus a man fighting for his future and a seat on the u.s. supreme court this confirmation process has become a national disgrace christine blazin for it seemed on the verge of tears as she told the senate judiciary committee about what she calls the worst night of her life the night before it says a t

well the short answer to your question is no for a variety of reasons i mean if the e.u. turkey deal was a bad deal for a problem which should have been managed and could have been avoided this is a terrible deal for an inexistent problem arrivals of migrants to europe are down dramatically as the leaders of the e.u. have been keen to point out this morning and since last night and there are virtually no buyouts arriving from egypt so it's very hard to visit how you could close off a route that doesn't exist in the first place if they value also saying that the story is you that they are talking about this being a potential partnership with other north african countries presumably beefing up the existing arrangement with libya perhaps even including others tunisia algeria morocco. so there has been talk of that for quite a while of using north africa as a sort of disembarkation platform for various of our disinvite haitian platforms the problem they've run into there is that the north african states have so far consistently pushing back for a variety of reasons i mean they're pr

banks german businesses are very deeply exposed to turkey and a further economic crisis there would be very bad for it and there's a general concern in the e.u. about turkey's move towards russia following its alienation from its former allies here in europe so i think the feeling will be that it is more sensible to bring turkey closer than to push it further apart or i for the internal whole life there in the in now u.s. senate republicans say they will go ahead with a committee vote on supremes court nominee brett kavanaugh on friday that follows a dramatic day of testimony by both cavanagh and one of the women accusing him of sexual misconduct christine blassie ford says cavanagh attacked her when they were teenagers also in jordan has more from washington. a historic hearing in washington a woman recounting a traumatic event from her teenage years and here today not because they want to be and terrified versus a man fighting for his future and a seat on the u.s. supreme court this confirmation process has become a national disgrace christine was the fourth seemed on the verge of tears as she told the senate judiciary committee about what

e.u. and turkey and we. need to make sure that the money that the e.u. has set aside for refugees will be dispersed as bureaucratically as possible regarding the fight against terrorism we would like to improve our cooperation we have contacts between the home secretaries of the different both of our countries and we have a dialogue between the foreign secretaries not only regarding foreign questions but also german schools in turkey and also. the cultural possibilities for took your subjects here in germany so on one hand we can say we have a common strategic desire to have. a good relationship and also on the german side we would like to develop this relationship but on the other side regarding the questions how does a free open democratic society looks like we have a. deep disagreements. or should i say. we should that we have a different perception of what such a social id looks like and. it shows not only that. a lot of that some germans are in prison in turkey but it goes beyond that and for that reason this visit of it is so important because we c

e.u. . in the form of customs union. as turkey we always express that we are in support of open when it's in our you. know when all of our friends that we do business with around the world are concerned. ours and our approach is very sincere and obvious that's why we deem allegations and pressures against our country unfair we believe that together with the countries i'm the institutions sharing our perspective we can surmount this political and economy chaos that the world is being pulled into we are looking forward to supporting we are looking forward to receiving their support in this aspect and without further ado i'd like to share with you two additional remarks. first we believe that there's a need for the establishment of an agency within the un for the youth as youth ensures the sustainability of our future as turkey we propose the establishment of a united nations youth organization as soon as possible and suggest that istanbul one of the symbolic cities of the world history. to become its headquarters we can allocate a y

course it's important for germany to have turkey as a partner turkey is important strategically for germany but it's also important for the e.u. refugee deal but at the same time from this press conference what was important is to hear emphasize the rule of law the lack of press freedom in turkey so that was really really important to hear and from the side of our go on he emphasized to the . turkish people living in germany should be integrated into the german society so those were really important two important points spring back in charlotte chelsea is in the central valley as a show you went through a list of people's problems with president. well this was one of the biggest issues is do they believe that he germany should actually be talking to him in this way. pretty much the main concern people that we've spoken to here of course there's a lot of anger at president add well there's also a lot of anger being directed at the german government as well they say this time they should not be rolling out the right topic quite literally for a man they call a dictator for that reason that they're going to the presidential palac

e.u. has previously struck deals with turkey and libya helping cut migration to europe from its twenty fifteen peak. the migration debate showed that we may not agree on everything but we agree on the main goal. which is illegal migration do you. mean strengthening our external borders. strengthening cooperation with countries. such corporations should not be just the migration of fighting smugglers and traffickers it should be about a much broader vision of partnership. together with chantel we have started a dialogue with the egyptian president and now we can see the backing from the european council for this and similar dialogues ok we can go live now to see our correspondent who's covering the summit for us in salzburg in austria and it sounds very much as though. does have broad consensus as they describe on this particularly thorny issue that is so divided all twenty eight of them. well yeah and you see the problem they've had over the course of the last year or two is this plan that primarily the germans had because they took in a million famously with a million refugees in twenty fifte

e.u. did for instance with turkey. we're not sure that it is the print of course the situation is not exact because the search continues and between the number of people arriving today has dropped significantly since then but the motivation behind these two ideas it's their completeness a motivation of trying. to push away people rather than seeing what european countries can do what are their own responsibilities. there is definitely a situation here that is. that is completely ignoring the situation on the ground these are political agreements between european leaders that are and at the top level in order to show some kind of progress without a lot of details with either understanding of what exactly europe would like to see how an ng in the mediterranean rather than finding solutions from the ground up rather than seeing what asylum seekers and riff g.'s needs when they're rescued see what's europeans actually expertly seeing especially the ones thought or do we need countries better dealing with this type of situa

ok and melinda how do you see for example another factor here because we know that turkey has a migrant deal with the e.u. it curbs the number of refugees crossing to here this is of course and that's very important for germany do you see that factoring in at all and this may well certainly that gives the turkish side some leverage on the other hand they are very very concerned at the moment about the outcome of this offensive in it live that you were just discussing with tito about what that could mean for turkey will they see masses of refugees pouring over their border so they're going to be looking to work with germany together to try to mitigate the effects on turkey and that particular issue migrant migration cuts indeed both ways for both countries melinda crane our chief political correspondent and dorian jones joining us from istanbul thank you so much to both of you. you're watching news still to come on the program germany's team rolls its way into the world cup we will see how the women's national soccer team earn their spot with a big win over the their island. but first we are heading to th
