this is news live from berlin it's a dilemma for nato as turkey expands its cooperation with russia and northern syria leaders are meeting to discuss a deal between nato member turkey and took adversary russia to force the kurdish militias out of the region. but how much scope do they have to rein in their ally uncle right.

you have to keep turkey inside nato. nato is better off that way, the thinking goes, and turkey is better off, so there's really no discussion of turkey leaving nato or being kicked out, but nobody knows exactly how to truly bring it back psychologically, politically into the fold of western allies. brent: it is a geopolitical love-hate story almost. teri schultz in brussels covering the nato summit for us. thank you. here are some of the other stories making headlines around the world. u.k. prime minister boris johnson wants an early general election on to super 12. he says he will put forward a motion on monday to ask parliament to approve that. this comes after mp's refused to fast-track his proposed brexit deal earlier this week. police and the u.k. say they have secured a warrant to question a truck driver for another 24 hours after the bodies of 39 people were discovered in the back of his truck. the man was arrested on suspicion of murder. no charges have been filed yet. the victims were all chinese nationals. u.s

the nato secretary general and other governments basically accept the results of this turkey russian deal because that's going to mean that russian forces are just a few miles from from nato is border and truly they are not comfortable with it but it just doesn't seem like anyone is getting details out of turkey on exactly what that deal means and turkey remains strategically important to nato i guess that's part of the the problem here but it appears to be forging closer ties with russia so what do you think this means to nato and its unity moving forward. it is a problem for nato and u.s. defense secretary mark esper mentioned that specifically in a speech he gave this morning he said that turkey has always been a real reliable ally but it seems to be turning more toward russia and less toward the west and he really urged on korea to change that direction at the same time this isn't completely new for turkey you know it did by a russian missile defense system the s 400 instead of a western missile defense system and they blame the west for forcing them into that they said the u.s. d

i'd hate to see a single nato ally, especially one as important as turkey, the second largest army in nato, in this kind of odd one-on-one relationship with russia. let's broaden it to the whole alliance. >> and with regards to the nuclear weapons? >> reportedly the united states keeps nuclear weapons in turkey. >> i thought the president shared that with the world a few days a ago. >> well, let's assume the president was sharing correctly that there are still nuclear weapons in turkey. if there are, this would be a good time to consider strongly repositioning them. >> as we await the president's remarks again, he faces intense pressure not just on syria but also on impeachment. right now a defense department official is testifying behind closed doors on capitol hill as part of the impeachment investigation. it comes on the heels of explosive testimony on tuesday from the administration's top diplomat to the ukraine. let's get right to msnbc's garrett haake who is on capitol hill for us. garrett, as we're having this conversation, as i understand it, mara cooper who serves as the depu

to increase further and how should the west respond to russia's partnership there with the nato member turkey those are some of the questions being discussed by nato defense ministers during a 2nd day of talks in brussels. moscow is the new puppet master in syria russia's defense minister talks with the head of a kurdish militia that and it's clear who's giving the orders. that's the reality facing nato defense ministers scrambling to catch up with the political reality of post-war syria and more to the point the west's role there. there are different views. on the allies as stated in the meeting also views which are publicly know it was a strong support for a political should solution a strong. support for the stronger international engagement german defense minister and a crack from karrenbauer proposed an international force to police a secure zone but she only had a few details for a moment to look like u.s. defense secretary marc kasper might support have an idea i think it's fine that because it's something that we've been calling on our european partners to do for quite some time is to

germany's defense minister is still looking for support in brussels but nato allies turkey and the u.s. are pulling in different directions. well order to pulling hard enough to crack nato more in that we're joined by ben to shell out the heads of the many sections of the hybrid bowl foundation's a think tank close to the german green party good morning thanks so much for coming and we have high level talks going on in brussels say that nato is nato facing a threat to its future future not from external enemies but from alliance members well indeed i think to have never faced a more difficult challenge now with the 2 may or not the 2 major but one major part of nato one major member being so much at odds with the other i don't think we've ever witnessed a situation like that before ok it's hard to find a divided disagreement like this between turkey and the united states what could it be that they are actually working together that they have agreed with russia to create a safe zone for the resettlement of hundreds of thousands of syrians possibly so it is just that if you look ahead to

nato. because turkey is not a member of nato he wants to make turkey one of the big powers of the world. so he plays the game. but then to see how far he can go. >> so there is still mistrust between turkey and russia so they trust each other just a few years ago, remember that erdogan realized to withdraw the patriots. and in some ways recently just a few months ago the eastern mediterranean it is very important and the turkey russia partnership is not that type is not to the point we can talk to that i see the relationship is very fragile but to see that and russia is only where you are reporting from and the caucuses everywhere. so despite that close partnership and i don't understand this it's one of the reasons why. >> to add to that but erdogan is pragmatic obviously that's a continued tool in the alliance with the number of nations that pay close attention to the domestic turn as well as the authoritarian action so as long as turkey is in nato it is a chip for erdogan to make sure others are not paying too much attention or expressing frustration with what he is doing in his own c

and germany's defense minister still needs support in brussels but nato allies turkey and the u.s. are pulling in different directions well on the 2 pulling hard enough to crack nato and that we're joined by ben to shell out the heads of the section 100 ball foundations a think tank the german green party good morning thanks so much for coming and we have high level talks going on in brussels say that nato is nato facing a threat to its future future not from external enemies but from alliance members well indeed i think that to have never faced a more difficult challenge now with the 2 may or not that 2 major but one major part alf nato member being so much at odds with the other. i don't think we've ever witnessed a situation like that before ok now the united states president donald trump said that american troops would be pulling out of syria now it appears will be redeploying to the comical guest that's near die is or and will be teaming up with kurdish forces there what do you make of that well that's the most bizarre maneuver because as you learned over the past says' kurdish

building a better relationship between on korea and moscow and weakening the nato alliance and of by by making turkey's position in nato ever more problematic and the russians are having some success in this the american decision to work with this syrian kurdish militia the one called y p g which is an anathema to turkey absolutely made putin's task is objective much easier all right robert ford we'll leave it there we thank you very much for joining us on the news hour. coming up in just a moment as the u.s. imposes new terrorists on european goods we ask is the white house opening a new front line in the trade war and the countdown is on to the biggest day in the history of japanese rugby we'll look ahead to vail world cup quarter final against south africa. had though that how much is have been steadily. coming down across areas of the middle east is quite a bit of travelers been streaming up from west to east in the last few hours and we will actually have the potential as we head through the weekend mostly dry on saturday but about 37 celsius in baghdad 27 in beirut and we could see a few showers

in turkey, there is nothing with nato, much diminished power. remember he wants to create may turkey and make important power in the world. another nato, your wings will have been cut. so he's playing this game, because the as/400 his, but is never going to be made, he keeps pushing to see how far he can go. >> we also have to know on the fact that there is mistrust in spite of everything going on between turkey and russia. there is still a lot of mistrust between the countries. they don't trust each other. just a few years ago, in 2016, remember what that's when shut down the russian jets. at its nato allies, they appealed to them not to withdraw the patriots. that was in some ways, a turning.but is recently is just a few months ago, when he was talking about the tension, and again, and appealed to the nato partners. some nato is still very important. russia partnership it's not that tight. when at the point where we can talk about strategic partnership, i think that relationship is still very fragile. there's so monday parts of this unit. the e
