captain chuck ness. we start with you, turkey, the day before british exit vote there was an announcement that there would be an ex pediation of their entering into the eu, they are a member of nato. many consider them an ally, we're vi with an attack that takes lives of 50 people. >> today is two year anniversary of declaration of the caliphate. this is a country that has been a loyal nato ally. but president erdogan is trying to changes constitution to move it more toward his islamist beliefs, this is right on the border with syria, we all know there is a massive civil war, and multinational food fight going on there with millions of people displac. turkey living with the brunt of that it is just a big mess over there. and fact they have identified isis as the likely perpetrator does not surprise me. when you talk suicide bombers, you are talking isis. charles: although, hasn 't there been reports that turkey has worked with isis. at least buying cheap oil from them? it gets so convoluted from time to
