and with that, it might be link it to the p k. k, but it's to need to say for certain towel my assessment, it tends to p k k. okay. and the lead up to this explosion. was there any thoughts, anything to suggest that something like this was a possibility? no, i'm for there wasn't any, there was no any kinds of remarks or statements. there were no threats. it more than usually from details organizations. there was no uprising in totally, but it took society at the time. when it says most said that this is the tragic how we also have to that this comes off, the p. k has a huge money to take more than you are. and maybe they felt so much on the truck in all the work fast they gave to him. the truth is probably hitting the church economy and trying to cut off to where going and great the going to them. it says to them of turkey and 200 took chicago me basically and to give to message. if you hit us, we wouldn't hit your economy and this is the part to get those needs to continue on today. thank you so much for your time and your inside

make these investigations and arrests, snell at the turkish government blames the kurdish militant p k. k, which is listed as a terrorist organization by encore, but also by the european union. the u. s. and other western countries. interestingly, the p k k itself published a statement denying any involvement in this attack. so did another kurdish let group, the s d f in syria. now that certainly a raises some questions, but the means for us journalists here in turkey for anyone, basically to independently verify the various claims coming from different sides is very limited, very difficult here. the government strictly controlled the flow of information yesterday immediately after the blast. they imposed a new span to what they say in order to avoid panic spreading among the population of today, they're widely sharing the images of the main suspect and our her arrest. but right now, this is the main source of information. we have to talk briefly through d reaction to this most serious attack in 5 years. well, there is, of course, a great sense of sadness among is stumble residents. i

now the p. k. k has since come out, denied any responsibility saying that they would never target civilians directly and that they have nothing to do with the blasts that we saw in a symbol. however, earlier we heard from turkish authorities that a woman from syria was detained and she apparently confessed to everything and said that she was working on the orders of the p k. k. that's why when the white house press secretary released the statement saying that they stand shoulder to shoulder with our nato allies, turkey encounter and terrorism naturally disrupt them the wrong way in the countries and serum minister, even when the further saying this is like a killer return into the scene of the crime 1st and that there will be announcer and not everyone will soon see what that is. we clearly understood the message that we're trying to deliver to us will be called the terrorists, and we'll give this act a strong response. of course, our alliance will state that supports terror regions and sends money

but normally the p k. k admit to such attacks and they said they said we don't target civilians but been 2 groups linked to the p. k. k. haven't carried a packet including attack on the stumble football much 5 years ago. but again, they usually own up to these attacks. and as far as the safe, the fact is that no one help but so far has come for them. admitted this attack to a lot of question marks of the sunday for me to are you jones, if sample during, there's always thank you. you watching a d. w. news live from berlin after a short break. i'll be back to take you through the big stick around and we'll be right back with with ah ah wow, wow. how do you tell cool to mentioned you come into the 21st century with dublin. we want to show it to the i div electric spacious and iconic in the colony. you know ref, check the long awaited id buzz from the dumping you read in 60 minutes on d, w o g music. com be destroyed. you can try, but it's impossible. ah, she performed for her life in auschwitz. jewish telescop

the p k. k. anchor a says that it's targeting bases in syria belonging to the y p g, a kurdish group with links to the p k. k. since 2016 turkish forces have conducted 3 ground operations to clear y p g fighters from northern syria. now the president is promising to conduct another offensive see how the lay of dullness over as though no opperation said plains. canons and drones are only the beginning from hattie to her curry. our determination to secure all of our southern border with the faith thunder, so as to remove the possibility of attacking now, countries lands is stronger to day than ever before. because his look at the areas of control, turkey is striking targets in the border area near manage, which is on the sd of control. the region in yellow freak syrian army fighters control the areas in green from where they support turkish military offensives. turkish syrian forces also control the purple parts here and the government of basha, our side has control over most of the country in r

it accuses washington of supporting the band kurdistan work his party or p k k, which it claims is behind the attack lyrics on the senate, all of them. the insincerity of our so called allies, this ruler, who officially sent the terrorists money from their own senator. but it is evident that a good while the political fights continue, it stumble, cleans up the mass as the most deadly attack in 5 years. leaves this city on edge. accosted a g, a han is in istanbul, and earlier she told me more about the police investigation. will turkish police have surprisingly quickly identified and detained, a main suspect less than 24 hours after the deadly attack. a syrian woman is believed to have planted the bomb on istic la avenue here in central eastern bowl, according to the police, she received training by the kurdistan workers party or p k k. and it syrian affiliates, and entered turkey from north and syria. 46, other people were also detained in connection with the attack. police say they went through the footage of more than a 1000 security cameras here in istanbul, in order to be able to make

now, the turkish govern blames the kurdish militant p k. k, which is listed as a terrorist organization by encore. but also by the european union, the u. s. and other western countries. interestingly, the p k k itself published a statement denying any involvement in this attack. so did another kurdish let group the s t f in syria. now that certainly raises some questions, but the means for us journalists here in turkey for anyone, basically to independently verify the various claims coming from different sides is very limited, very difficult here. the government strictly controlled the flow of information yesterday immediately after the blast. they imposed a new span to it what they say in order to avoid panic spreading among the population a today, they're widely sharing the images of the main suspect and her, her arrest. but right now, this is the main source of information. we have to talk briefly through the reaction to this most serious attack in 5 years. well, there is, of course, a great sense of sadness among is stumble residents. i

this is chuck ish, then a p k. k. so i will, it's a logical for them to do it because if they really them 8, the united states will have to respond. and united states, or it will really be stored in relationship between the syrian kurds and united states. it is not in the interest cards to do something like this. ok, so it makes absolutely no sense. who did it? i don't know. in the past we have seen the islamic states do many attacks in cherokee with lots of casual. and so i, i don't, i would like to see a real evidence unfortunately from even i know from my own experience with the church. they owned makeup stuff constantly. and maybe i did meet with izing a coup in 2016 with a guy. and so they really have very little credibility and from an american perspective, we don't really take many of the accusations very seriously because they never us. what do you think the chances are that turkey will use this incident as a justification to launch a new military incursion into northern syria? it can only do that if it gets t

and the interior minister who has been very harsh against the p k. k groups inside to care was saying that and they were 100 p k k members left inside to get. most of them were either captured by the police or were also to care, but apparently, at least one person was able to for the paper. i think a sent him christina that live in a stumble. ukraine's president is accusing russia of committing war crimes and killing civilians. in the southern castle region, a lot of miss lensky made the allegation in his nightly address on sunday ukrainian forces. we took part of the region, including the city of cas on last week, after russia withdrew. sleeps loza. investigators have already documented more than full 100 russian ball crimes. bodies of both civilians and military are being found in the her san branch in the russian army left the same savagery behind as in other regions of our country. are it managed to invade? we will find and bring to justice. every murder, awfully. without any doubts. with the humanitarian situation in castorena's being described a

an attack authorities blame on the outlawed courtesan workers party or the p k. k one. tomorrow to see tomorrow, the last time i saw her was on friday, we had plans. i don't know what else to say because it was here where the suspect a woman is believe to have left a bomb that exploded and samples busiest st. mr. glenn is a major tourist attraction and many fear the target was chosen to cause fear and stability issue all our vision or a 3. i'm very tourists and stop coming and i'm also worried about our safety. my wife tells me not to go to work. how long can i stay home? police say they have detained dozens, including the woman whom they identified as a lamp bush here. the interior ministry says she came from syria where she was trained by the y p g. the syrian curtis group, which turkey considers as an offshoot of the p k. k visit elements as usual. we got their message and i want them to know that we will respond to this in a very strong manner. and missing the p k. k, which has claimed some attacks in the past, has denied the accusations. there was a time when attac

but many here say it's the military's recent operations against the p k. k in northern iraq and northern syria. that may have been the reason for sunday's explosion. 8 law, the timing of the attack also months before a general election. the government is already under pressure from the worst cost of living crisis in decades. it now was faced with a security challenge. then there also data stumble. government forces and rebels have been exchanging more heavy fire in eastern democratic republic of congo. fighting has taken place about 25 kilometers from the regional capital goma between ki boom and rigari and 23 rebels have won a string of victories against the congolese army and north keep in recent weeks. increasing the territory under their control piece talks mediated by east african leaders to take place in kenya next week. welcome web is in the town of cuba, not far from gomez. in eastern democratic republic of combat. there's been ongoing fighting on 3 fronts, between companies armed forces and the m $23.00 rebel group, which is widely seen to be a pro

the security analyst was talking about the p k. k. obviously they, along with i so, ah, of the c m, you know, potentially involved here. what do you think and why do you think that either one of those groups i would want to attack at to kia like us at this moment as we do not have any concrete evidence more and your official statement that is confirming a particular actor. so it is all just we can just put the stuff into a, into a context. so turkey in 20152016 had gone through it, had gone through, has gone through a tremendous, tremendous tubal and time regarding the constant attacks in particularly in base. it is like capital anchor, the largest, the in turkey stumble and the frontier cities like gus yon tab. and they have been several that are conducted by ices by the p k. k. and some of the other marginal arm groups as well. and they claimed tens of lives. so this tree years were one of the i will say, the darkest time of the with more than turkish republic. so now i'm the potential suspects here that or fish laurel. so i should

a kurdish group linked to the p k. k to k considers the p k. k a terrorist organization. the defense ministry says the ground defense. it will be launched as soon as possible. anchor blames the y p g for recent attacks in the stumble and ghazi and i q ations, the group denies. center call saw the has more from killers near the to clear syria border. everybody was expecting a ground operation last night, and there are so many turkish media outlets at positioned themselves in garza and there been killers. of course, these kinds of offensive offenses are also based on negotiations. but what everybody expects on the ground inside syria, and i'm all the people that we have spoken to so far, this is imminent and an operation must be coming soon. according to the expectations took here is preparing for an election that is scheduled for a june 2002023. i, of course, the military operation is not the main target main objective or of as an election campaign, but definitely it will impact or the consequences it will, it, it, with how consequences as the turkish a people and not only

could this don't work as far as the p k. k. as we know when it's cronum and sama text perpetrated by i. so i'm talking about the past, so we don't know who will claim this attack or who has perpetrate. it might be even even an individual and radicalized individual. we have seen these kinds of incidents, especially in the united states for the last couple of years. we have no idea about this, but i totally see that we are seeing and it's like now on social media, on the agencies, on tv right now. totally remind us what happens in an, in some other tourist big areas of gumble a couple of years ago as to kids big cities including on cur, up the capital was targeted by the out both groups by the groups and for the last couple of years. because of the security policy has been harsh and by the government has been stronger against these kinds of groups. we haven't seen any, any kind of these attacks, especially in this tumbled incidents. sometimes a continue in south is some part of turkey close with serial iraq border. we hear that t

k flags out numbered any other flag by far so you do have a very high visibility of the p k. k in sweden, and that is something that the government feels must be allowed under freedom of speech. now there's a new government in sweden, a new, more conservative government, and they see that they're going to crack down on support for the p k. k because that is outlawed since it is considered a terrorist organization. so there may indeed be movement on this on the sweeter side that allays even more president air to one's concerns. but this is a complaint that he's had against sweden for a very long time. and sweden's wish to join nato simply now gives him an opportunity to basically exploit it. gothenburg says it's time to welcome finland and sweden. but what does that timeline realistically look like? you know, the conventional wisdom has been that president air to one who is running for reelection would actually drag this out through his reelection campaign to show that he has power over nato allies to show that he can get things done to show that he can make other countries mak

the p k. k. my anchor says it's targeting bases and syria belonging to the kurdish group, y p g, which it considers as an offshoot of the p k. k. the group gained grounds in the area after the joint fight against iceland, 2015 to kia has carried out 3 ground offensive offensives that cleared some parts of northern syria from y p g. since 2016 to key as president says, he'll order the military to conduct another ground operation. soon on lay off dumas offered us, you'll know operations, your planes, canyon and drones are only the beginning parties from hattie to her curry. you know, a determination to secure all of our southern border with the faith, so that enough, so as to remove the possibility of attacking no countries landsey is stronger today than ever before. but are lou saint m casino, who is following developments from near the trickiest syria border there is an ongoing operation against the out of a grip a p. k. carry in northern iraq as well. and through that operation, turkish military

both sides of the p k. k. have the night so far. and as some of the international news agencies report, senior turkish officials have told she had the perpetrator has is framed by the p k . k. but they are not out. so they are not ignoring a possibility of iso involvement. there are too many details to be discussed, and too many questions to be answered as, as this woman entered to kia illegally a despite the borders close. oh, so in the investigation is still under way and probably we will hear more information and more details about some sleeping cells of these outdoor groups into care. all right, we're just 24 hours into this for now. so of course we're going to get more information as the time goes by a cinema castillo glue reporting from his stumble. thank you very much. i want to discuss this with gary, signer durham, and she's a professor of political science at moore murray university and joins a slide from is stumble that address 1st. this was sent him was just telling us that normally, ordinarily, if the kurds are behind a

message and i want them to know that we will respond to this in a very strong manner and decision the p k. k which has claimed some attacks in the past has denied the accusations. there was a. * time when attacked, similar to sundays, happens frequently from 2015 until the last major violence incident nearly 5 years ago. it's the cloud street was also among the target that attack was blamed on iso fighters, but many here say it's the military's recent operations against the p k. k. in northern iraq and northern syria. that may have been the reason for sunday's explosion. 8 the timing of the attack also months before a general election, the government is already under pressure from the worst cost of living crisis in decades. it now was faced with a security challenge center for their elders, the, to the stumble. the democratic republic of congo is military says, fighting with rebels has moved closer to the key eastern city of goma. the hundreds of new recruits in the area had been sent for training to help boost government forces. young people from across the region who signed up to fight

our findings show the p. k. k, tara group was behind the attack, and i repeat, we will have venge this attack and heard them more than they heard us last happened on is to close street a bustling shopping area. it's pop up with both locals and tourists. al jazeera selim consumer reports ah, blood shed and panic on one of his stumbles, busiest streets is the glass of pedestrian eyes, road of shops and restaurants. bombed wants by. i sell in 2016 now. the see, you know as 2nd, badly explosion in 6 years. these pictures show the aftermath filmed by some one high level to the recitation below, for emergency services, rushed in to treat the wounded police shut the area down, and the witnesses spoke of what they had seen. the look, given a huge issue, we were a bit far away, but we saw a few people lying on the ground. it was a huge blast noise. and afterwards there was dark smoke rising. later on, people began running away. i want people not to panic, as there were children and families present turkey as present, roge

it accuses washington of supporting the band kurdistan work his party, or p k. k. which it claims is behind the attack lyrics and his and i told him that the insincerity of our so called allies, this ruler who officially sent the terrorists money from their own sen, which is evident, had a good one. the political fights continue, it stumble, cleans up the mass as the most deadly attack in 5 years leaves this city on edge. so my next guest is mr. henry barky. he's a senior fellow for middle east studies at the council on foreign relations in new york. mr. morgan, it's good to have you with us on the day to day turkey's interior minister basically snubbed a message of condolence that came from the united states regarding this tragedy. how worried are you that this incident could trigger tensions, or even a bigger crisis between turkey and the west, particularly between turkey and the united states? look the minister of interior, mr. so like, so through a lot of grandstanding he has in the past is united states of directly being involved in terrorism as sets up the un

k, and it syrian extension the p k. k is listed as a terrorist organization by on cra and it's western allies, including the u. s. and the european union. this woman was arrested here in istanbul, in the early morning hours. she entered turkey the statement. the police statement further says from a friend in north and syria, and more than 40 other people were also detained in connection with the attack. i should add, though, that no group has so far officially claimed responsibility for this attack. so what we know so far is coming from turkish officials. one of them is the turkish interior minister, who was the at the scene just a little earlier, he was here. and he interestingly lashed out and washington, he accused the united states of supporting the terrorist organizations. in syria, the turkey is now blaming for this attack, and that is why he said turkey rejects all the condolences coming in now from the u . s. embassy. okay, we're talking about the most serious attack in some 5 years. just talk us through more of

we know that i saw obviously, and the p k. k in the not too distant past have conducted regular attacks on various targets within turkey. so with all that as a context, ma'am, it your thoughts on what you're seeing in this rapidly developing and use event. well, 1st of all, i think one thing we, we have to make sure that we do is the to, to make sure we are following live updates from the, the official authorities. as you know, there has been speculations about this. explosion and speculations are usually using as a source of propaganda that feeds into to terrorist organizations. hands. having said that, if we are going to base our, our comments or speculations on a b, this being a terrorist attack, i think we, the speakers have made it very clear to turkey has been fine fighting terrorist groups very successfully in the recent years. and that's why we have had relatively calm and you know, we've had the past 2 years when it comes to terrorist attacks. now is stickler street is a very symbolic place. and you know, when it, when

and she apparently said that she was working on the orders of the p k. k. now of course, when the white house press secretary said, and i will quote here that they san shoulder to shoulder with our nato allies, turkey a in counter and terrorism. of course this rob, them the wrong way, and i would save and go as far as saying that it made them angry. let's listen. and this, we clearly understood the message they were trying to deliver to his will be called the terrace and will give this act the strong response. of course, our alliance with a state that supports terror regions and sends money for their development should be up for discussion. wanted unconscionable financial from the interior minister also added. and i'd like to say here that they do not consider themselves enemies of any country that they are not claim in any one's territory. and that they see a betrayal. and that for a patient has really run out what that means remains to be seen, will be monitoring that. but of course, this occurred, this issue has become a thorn and relations not only betw

the south east turkeys kurdish heartland where the state is fighting a years long conflict with the p k. k. it's also where the majority of the kurdish population lives. their vote will be important if not decisive in the presidential and parliamentary elections next june. that's why the largest pro kurdish political party, the h d p, is being ported. not just by the opposition. in a major break from the past, the governing act party members of the countries 3rd largest party. for a long time now, our party and partner in the alliance may be having no thing any contact made with h t p because of their ties with the terry organization p. k. and they were criticizing the opposition about having implicit dialogue with this part sundays attack may make it harder to continue that dialogue as part of an election strategy. the m h p is calling for the closure of h d p, describing its members a separatist and terrorist bombing has created a new political atmosphere months ahead of an election. many se could be president or the gone, toughest battle. he has lost some support. the economy is in t
