putin even buying erdogan ice cream on the sidelines of the airshow. in many ways, that is a strategic partnership we are seeing in defiance of the west. the leaders were looking in part at writer jeff today. that, of course, against the backdrop of the fact that turkey is buying a missile system from russia, much to the dismay of turkey's nato partners. they were, i think, showing a picture of defiance, a picture of friendship to the west and kind of yeah, defiant. brent: brazil's president says he will only accept an offer of aid from g7 countries to fight fires raging in the amazon if he gets an apology from the french president. you may remember emmanuel macron announced an offer of 18 million euros over the weekend, but brazil's president says macron called him a liar and insists macron first say he is sorry piers morgan 80,000 fires are burning in the amazon, many of them out of control. >> the scale of destruction is plain to see. brazil's state is one of the worst hit regions. as soon as one fire is out, another starts. after international pres

worried about the rebel forces and also the threat they pose against russian forces so basically erdogan wants put into rein in the syrian forces but the big question here is how much he wants to compromise after you fear he feels that erdogan fails to live up to a disagreement one year ago in sochi and he didn't do what he promised which was this arming these rebel forces i was arrested 1st reporting live there from should come in russia many thanks indeed. iran's president says his country won't hold talks on any nuclear deal with the u.s. unless all sanctions are lifted his comments come a day after u.s. president donald trump said that he was open to them beating the iranian to beating the iranian leader if the circumstances are right trouble speaking at the g. 7 summit in france president emanuel mccrone has offered to facilitate talks between the 2 sides but insists that washington must take the 1st step for talks to happen pass. on the 1st step is to remove sanctions without it this lock won't be open all sanctions against the iranian nation must be lifted they are all illegitimat

. >> president erdogan has now gotten the u.s.o help him due to the creation of a so-called saison. >> we establish a joint operation center with the americans. president erdogan says the british ypg is a terrorist organization, an off dude of the pkk, which had operated for decades in turkey, but for the u.s., the organization is a key ally who has fought against the islamic state group and could be needed again. turkey has struck twice before, and 2017 and 2018. threatened to target them again, for the u.s., the buffer zone is to protect the ypg. the u.s. wanted to stop this attack with a single word, it could stop all of these issues, but it seems they do not want to pressure turkey more t than needed. the question now is how much washington has conceded, how large will the safe zone be? rejected the u.s. offer of a five-kilometer strip weapons and and at for nine kilometers with no heavy weapons. ankara is demanding the area be twice as large. the key question is who will control the buffer zone was the out. are forced onire:

what will be happening to them that's of course a big question erdogan had as well we haven't heard any details about that at all but both leaders stressed again that their relationship is very strong and is getting stronger and they have been discussing possible new arms deals even the defense secretary off turkey will be left behind here after earlier one goes home to do they discuss these possible deals so basically both nations have this stressed how important their relationship is but we have very little detail i think we can see the backend of some 29 days if i'm not mistaken at least behind you there and all of the ones been looking at military hardware. you mentioned officials be left behind to talk what exactly is on the table for russian turkish military corporation beyond simply missile cells. well one thing that i was very interested in was the news of cory 57 style fighter jet. put in has actually left him into that fighter jet and showed him around and they sort of joked like is this for sale so that's that's possible on the table of course auto deals are being discussed a

it is a different style than erdogan, more subtle.he remarkable thing is that he is a man on the left who doesn't want to spend money. imagine you spent all your life waiting to become prime minister of ireland or president of america, and through that time you sat on the left-wing, then come into power and do the opposite. you clamp down on spending because you think there is too much corruption, and you want to be clear mexico will not be badly run. that is a novel way of looking at it, a different thing. whether he can keep pulling it off, we will see. taylor: up next, a troubling reality at victoria's secret. jason: raising capital and raising standards. this is "bloomberg businessweek." ♪ jason: welcome back to "bloomberg businessweek." i am jason kelly. taylor: i am taylor riggs. you can also listen to us on the radio. jason: in london on dab digital. taylor: time is not being kind to victoria's secret. jason: jeffrey epstein's decade-long relationship is weighing on the company, but not the only issue for the lingerie brand. vi

so far in my mind, it has worked inside of turkey with his relationship with erdogan.d be worse. it has yet to be seen if that is going to play out inside of pakistan and india. >> you have had senior positions in the state department and the dod. from the military point of view, what is the extent to which they are concerned about what we have talked about? syria, india, pakistan, other conflicts. what are they most concerned about? ofed that is the brilliance the goldwater nichols act. we petitioned the world into different commands. in the case of india pakistan, that falls under what we used to call pacific command. now we recognize the importance of india to the point that we now call it into pacific command. oft is being handled outside the region in honolulu. on the other hand, for the middle east, we have central command. what is difficult about specific issue in turkey is that turkey is in the orbit of the european command. are in the orbit of central command. we have very good generals who are working all three of these issues and we have pretty good backup a

when when when when let's set aside the differences between the americans and the turks what when erdogan says that he is determined that sets are moving forward east of youth euphrates should we really take him seriously on this given the fact that the military establishment seems to be really really really skeptical about a deeper involvement in the conflict in syria. yes and no that's also a great question yes and no i would say because on the one hand since turkey conducted its 1st major military incursion into syria in 2016 against 1st isis in august 26th the. operation euphrates shield and then last year early last year against a p y d in the region operation olive branch there has been talk of staging an operation they even have the code name out operation euphrates sort of very clearly geared aimed at the eastern part of the eastern part of the euphrates river and so he exists on the one hand yes we have heard this before on the other hand. president adlon may either deliberately or unintentionally paint himself into a corner and and that end up delivering if you will. basically f

president erdogan has laid the foundation stone for the first new church to be built in turkey sincecame a modern republic in 1923. the church will serve the syriac christian community of the country. three leading telecoms bosses have written to the british prime minister, questioning his ability to deliver a promise to rollout full fibre broadband years ahead of schedule. in an open letter, the heads of three trade bodies say the pledge will require 100% commitment from the government, including further investment in skills, and a reduction in red—tape and taxes. our business correspondent katy austin reports. good internet is now a priority for hotel guests like those in southend. the manager here says the speed and reliability of full fibre broadband have been game changing. we've been able to increase our bandwidth and this is giving the customer a much, much faster and better, much more consistent experience throughout. at the moment, most of the country can get superfast broadband. that's a mixture of fibre and copper technology that results in a download speed of 2a megabits

president erdogan lays the foundation stone for the first new church in turkey in nearly a hundred years

and it lube and to normalize the situation in this region and in syria as a whole we spoke with mr erdogan about it in detail and we found understanding on how and what we can do together to resolve these issues despite their cooperation over there and said his forces would react against the syrian government if necessary. the provocation by the regime have reached an acceptable level i would like to say it is especially by our borders our right to self-defense and this leaves us no choice we have to act to protect ourselves i discuss this matter with my honorable friend the president and we are happy to work to cooperate within the spirit we've got bernard smith standing by for us in one tank here on the turkish syrian border but 1st the status and who's in where putin and the 2 are and have been meeting so has this mean things that lead to any new understanding in the lip. well that's a very good question of course as you said they have announced new measures to basically neutral neutralize the rebels but there hasn't been any information about details what are they going to do together

ally in the battle against isis considered a terrorist group by ankara erdogan has said he was losing patience with washington over setting up a so-called safe zone in the area in northern syria. we have a lot of mutual interests in northern syria right we we want to sustain the continued to be at least of the physical caliphate of isis right now becomes a question if they move in and yes yes this impacted the city holding thousands of fighters isis fighters and so those are some of the some of the things we risk if there is a unilateral incursion into into northern syria so again i'm hopeful work out something to address there are security concerns we just need to take one day at a time. to work through the process should be an increasing deterrable talks to look at it but it's our top priority to train the terrorists want in northern syria turkey cannot feel safe as long as the structure of the south which is growing like a cancer cell that is increasing with a heavy weapon itself our allies is not eliminated if we don't do what's needed today we would have to do it to morrow by pay

put them in the pantheon of world leaders you have talked to over the past couple years -- putin, erdoganel. how does he compare to those peers around the world? andres: he believes -- he believes in unorthodox economics. he has a theory that if he cuts spending, everything will be fined and there are bits -- he lashes out at a mere liberal. now that the gdp number is not advancing as he hoped, he made comments like that but it is a very different style. it is much more gentle and the remarkable thing is the man of the left does not want to spend money. that is unusual. lifene you spend all your waiting to become from minister and on the left wing talking about doing this, doing that. then you come to power and did the opposite. you plan on spending because you think there is too much corruption but also because you want to be absolutely clear that mexico was not going to be badly run. that is a noble way of looking at it. that is a different thing and whether he can keep pulling that off. next, a troubling reality at victoria's secret. jason: plus, the silicon valley's top shot. this is

it is more of erdogan's fingerprints the central bank and what happens next.obal yields have been declining, the turkish lira has been outperforming because of the yield play and the carry play. most of the traders i talked to are getting nervous about this because it is getting close to a point as to where these carry trades blow up. when they snowball, you cannot get out fast enough. turkey is a play people are starting to pull away from because it is getting dangerously close to a play that could fall apart. scarlet: nicely put. thank you so much. for more on this week's market action, we want to welcome the ubs senior bp of wealth management -- senior v.p. of wealth management. the conversations must have been different on monday to thursday two today. >> yes. markets certainly pivoted. this is an indication of the entire year. with thethe year tightening policy and then them being neutral. right now, we are looking at the possibility of easing. you are right. the conversation with clients was different on monday versus now. the market is extremely reactiv
