>> it is true that there is some sympathy toward the pkk from some sections of the finnish and swedishal systems. but not all. we have seen a trick like this pulled before by president erdogan just before nato's 70th anniversary meeting in london in december of 2019. there was a lot where he tried to do the same thing unless nato recognize them as terrorists, he would block provisions and enhance -- for the baltic states in poland. he is making a point that he is not happy about the lay of the land regarding other perceptions of the pkk within nato, that he is a strong mend as he always projects himself, but there is often a lot of diplomacy taking place behind the scenes. he was talked down in 2019 and the move in stockholm and helsinki is that they have enough and there is enough within the alliance to talk them down the sign as well. everyone -- erdogan and turkey are quite isolated. it is fortunate for western strategic influence in ukraine as teresa mentioned, but it is not in his interest to be isolated in nato, either. he has to make a choice. >> if i could follow up with you, i

, but turkey has not shown a link between them and the pkk.e discussions in the alliance many times before, i think we have always found sensible solutions and i think that we will also this time. on saturday the finnish president reiterated his country's enthusing that enthusiasm to join the military alliance. we have to move as fast as possible because we have had our discussions and we are having now are additions and there is no doubt that it will be an application to nato. that position has riled finland's neighbour, president vladimir putin, and in a phone call between the two the russian leader stressed that the end of the traditional finnish policy of military neutrality would be a mistake since — in his words — there is no threat to finland's security. russia's decision to suspend electricity supply to finland is being seen as an early sign of retaliation in its move towardsjoining nato. putin has always been clear that ukraine should notjoin nato, but its invasion has pushed its southern neighbour to dojust that. mark lobel, bbc news

the turks have a domestic terrorism problem, a political party called the pkk, which has a terroristcks inside turkey. sweden and finland do not recognise the pkk as a terrorist body, and there are kurdish representatives in sweden and finland who turkey believes are connected to the pkk, even if the finns and the swedes don't. so i think this is something for them both to talk about now because i think they agree on the principles that they should be no support for terrorism or harbouring of terrorists whatsoever, but they disagree on who is who and i think this can be worked out over time. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. lebanese officials say voter turnout was just a1% in the country's parliamentary election. it is the first vote since an explosion of a container ship in beirut�*s port which killed over 200 people in 2020, and a devastating economic collapse which has led to the currency losing 90% of its value. the uk government has denied playing politics by seeking to change trading arrangements in northern ireland, insisting that the brexit treaty had

the turks have a domestic terrorism problem, a political party called the pkk, which has a terroristattacks inside turkey. sweden and finland do not recognise the pkk as a terrorist body, and there are kurdish representatives in sweden and finland who turkey believes are connected to the pkk, even ever the fins and the swedes don't, so this is something for them to talk about now because i think they agree on the principles that they should be no support for terrorism or harbouring of terrorism, but disagree on who is her, this can be regarded in time. taking matters because nato makes a decision by consensus, so this does require turkish listing two kurt volker there, fantastic to have you on the programme. thank you forjoining us with your thoughts. let's turn to north korea now. state media have reported eight new deaths from fever—like symptoms as it deals with a covid outbreak. nearly 400,000 more cases of people with similar symptoms were also reported. the country's state news agency said kim—jong—un has ordered the military to help stabilise the supply of medicines in pyongya

, but turkey has not shown a link between them and the pkk.two sides remains open. we have had those discussions _ two sides remains open. we have had those discussions in - two sides remains open. we have had those discussions in the - had those discussions in the alliance many times before, and we have always found sensible solutions so i think that we will also this time. fin will also this time. on saturday _ will also this time. on saturday the - will also this time. on saturday the finnish president reiterated his country's enthusing that enthusiasm to join the western alliance. irate join the western alliance. we have had our— join the western alliance. - have had our discussions and we are having now are additions and there is no doubt that it will be an application to nato. that position has riled finland's neighbour, president vladimir putin and in a phone call between the two the russian leader stressed that the end of the traditional finnish policy of military neutrality would be a mistake since in his words, there is no threat to f

the ypg who has organizations with the pkk which was instrumental in helping drive out. i will like to bring you in here as well after we hear the swedish ambassador. what can you do to overcome the bilateral swedish and turkish concerns, which also into the pkk living in sweden? >> thank you so much for having us. this is a discussion we are having with the turkish government right now. they agreed to stay in contact and see how this can be resolved. i just want to underline that sweden is a very strong ally in all of the issues that deals with terrorism and anti-terrorism i should say. the european union has had a pkk on its territory since 2002. we have always been there for them. we have been operating in these organizations in syria. as of the united states have done and many other european units have done. we hope we can see i to i with the turkish. i just want to make clear that just as our prime minister did when she was here, we take nato it extremely seriously. we see ourselves as a partner strengthening all of its territory. we are giving our location and gray

be meaningful for us as long as our sensitivities are respected, giving all kinds of support to the pkk and the terrorist organization in asking us for support for nato membership amounts to say the least, to inconsistencies. nato is a security entity, therefore we cannot say yes to depriving the security organization of security. >> currently five nato members share land borders with russia, they include estonia's in latvia's entire eastern frontiers. norway touches them in the arctic circle while lithuania and poland flank the ex clave. finland's membership of nato would add 1300 kilometers to the alliances lamp order with russia, more than doubling its length. finland's prime minister wants nato members to ratify the applications as soon as possible. >> i think, at this stage, we have to keep our eyes on the ball, and that is a very smooth and fast ratification of our membership in every nato member country. so this is what we are focusing now. and i think our most important job in nato is to defend our own country, our own region and also making sure that the nordic region is secure

the countries have long taken in kurdish opponents of the turkish government, particularly from the pkkturkey's president erdogan says he'll use his veto to block finnish and swedish membership over the issue. i sought the views of emre temel of the bbc�*s turkish service. pkk has been designated as a terrorist organisation by the united kingdom, united states and the european union. however, most nato members supported and armed its syrian offshoot in its fight against islamic state in syria. and another key request from ankara is sweden and finland should add to their arms export restrictions they put on turkey, following the incursion of — turkish army's incursion in northern syria. i think most, if not all of the nato countries rather irritated with turkey for the way that erdogan has posed these demands, but what do you think he's likely to get out of them? vetoing nato�*s enlargements and blocking these two nordic countries�* entry into nato at such a crucial time, when nato reshapes its security strategy in europe, following the russian invasion of ukraine. it is very risky for t

the syrian kurdish militia operating in northeastern syria that turkey views as the same group as the pkknd this is something that has been really at the heart of disagreements between turkey and other nato allies over the years because they had chosen the ypg as a partner in the fight against isis and also turkey wants sweden and finland to lift bans on military exports to turkey, some arms exports, some restrictions on its defense industry. basically they're saying they are not closing the door, this is not a firm no but they want discussions that have started over the weekend. the turkish foreign minister meeting with his swedish and finnish counterparts saying they presented them with evidence for these allegations turkey is making. they are getting proposals from these two countries. we have heard from u.s. officials, the secretary of state, also the nato secretary general, everyone seems to agree that this is something they will be able to address and work through, not overly concerned about turkey's objections so far. >> it doesn't seem to be so far that they're going to peter in a

even though they have, as you say, this big issue with pkk, i mean, why would they come around?s within the alliance. they've already got problems within the alliance. there are ways that they can address this issue. this is not a big problem. the turks have problems of their own. they've been caught between the russians and nato, they bought some equipment from the russians now they're kind of embarrassed by it. so i don't think the turks will be standing in the way of an expansion that will improve the security of all of europe. the swedes and the fins as part of nato will be a benefit for all of europe, including turkey. in the end, they won't stand in the way. >> let's talk about the status of ukraine today. so ukrainian soldiers are making strides in the north, the russians are retreating. the russians are making strides in the east. what does the future look like? what do the next few weeks or couple months look like in ukraine right now? >> it doesn't look good for the russians. the russians already well earlier have been pushed out of kyiv. they made an attempt to come d

i understand that turkey, which is a nation that has suffered quite a few terrorist attacks by the pkkn organization we recognize as a terrorist organization, has intense concerns about kurds and kurdish organizations. i am hopeful that by the swedes we assuring them the connections they have with the ypg, the group from the pkk, that they will be able to provide some of the reassurance needed for the turks to get past this moment and that will get a unified vote by nato for sweden and finland before the upcoming summit in madrid. >> in the last minute or so i have you, i want to ask about the u.n. saying the war in ukraine is exacerbating a hunger problem. what, if anything, do you think can be done to solve this issue while the war continues? >> garrett, i have worked hard on that. it's in the subcommittee i chair. we are adding $5 billion in global hunger relief. it has been added to the bill that was just passed by the senate. that is a stopgap. ukraine feeds 400 million people every year. russia is blockading grain exports from the critical port of odesa, for the longer term, for

countries a guest house for terrorist organizations, according to the turkish leader, members of the pkkcountries, but are also parliamentarians in ankara demand that candidates refuse to support kurdish structures in turkey, iraq and syria, which the turkish authorities consider it terrorist and lifted the unilateral embargo on arms supplies to turkey. again reason to think about is there that, the very thing, unity in nato, alexander lukashenko also raised a similar question in moscow, only at the summit of the csto blocs in the current situation, unity is needed, more than ever without the speedy rallying of our countries, without strengthening political economic military ties, we may not exist tomorrow. on the part of our enemies and opponents, there is a systematic loosening of strongholds and allied ties, and in this, we ourselves partially help, the west is sure that if we immediately acted as a united front, there would not be these hellish ones, as they say.

kind of compromise made, think both those countries are going to have to talk about their view about pkkn kurdish populations. so there is some talking that is going to have to happen, but i think something will come out of it, and turkey will eventually agree for both these nations to come into nato. >> kremlin spokesperson dmitry peskov gave an interesting statement, saying russia's reaction would depend on how far and how close to our borders the military infrastructure would move and now today, putin saying this could force us to retaliate. what is your expectation of what russia will do if this continues? >> well, i have a couple things. one is we have lfr seen the russians cut off the electricity that -- that finland buys from the russian net. but that is only 10% of the finnish requirement. so they have been able to deal with that and weren't surprised so it is that kind of retaliation we are going to see there russia. it won't be military. there is going to be perhaps a lot of harsh rhetoric. think we are going to hear that. we might see some cyberattack of some type. we are goin

the problem is that these two countries openly support and interact with the pkk and ypg .s is a terrorist organization. they attack our troops every day. yesterday we lost another soldier, so it is outrageous that our friends and allies should support this terrorist organization. finland sweden was invited to meet as guests and have already declared their readiness for dialogue with turkey in order to solve the problems that have arisen. yesterday i called my colleague. to luda chebusha oglu to the minister of foreign affairs of turkey in order to relieve tension. we have the same way. the meeting today is uneven . and i'm sure we can find a solution on this issue. of course, each of the 30 nato countries has the ability to block the process, so it's important that we at least maintain good relations with everyone. neighbors, supported by the minister of foreign affairs of norway, we do not know exactly what the turkish representatives had in mind, but as for norway, we will support finland sweden, if they decide to apply for nato membership, this will also strengthen coop

this means that the official legal funding of the pkk has been withdrawn.the second of those whom looking for these people are accused. not only do you know there, they are some especially smart ones who write completeness. there is no terrorism, of course, that is, on the territory of his state. these people are accused of some kind of activity, either collecting weapons, or fighting. they are there of them there 50% killer 50% instigator of this murder. the most important person in germany who collects money for the kurds. he walks around calmly. so erdogan. now i am the only chance once and for all to end the financing of separatism on my own . territory. it's just the way you describe it . serious situations, if you said that you need these 33 terrorists, otherwise i won’t sign anything here, then either you get these 33 people by plane with bags on your head, as if nothing happens. anywhere, we supply weapons, but ukraine in large quantities, but not in turkey, but not in turkey, i told you, remove the imbards for the supply alexander and not only swed

the expansion of nato, it would make sense for us if we saw respect for our feelings to support the pkknd other terrorist organization and at the same time asking us to support nato membership is at least not consistent in the current situation. turkey goes for broke, placing the maximum demands on the line may be its own membership in nato and even the integrity of the entire alliance in an expert word. consider, america is now increasingly discussed the theoretical probability and possibility. and in order to exclude it, but turkey is a sign. uh, they also say that it is possible not to get up once again and hungary is an exception, that is, two countries with which it is clear in the us, circumstances are now out of hand. wow, bad problem. here, of course stands in the fact that there is no order of exclusion due to this north atlantic alliance. obviously turkey well, like, uh, any such, uh, knowledgeable, yes, the person participating in the bargain understands that this is some kind of maximum that they want, and then the bargaining begins, so something will succeed here you are tr

we take from that he is talking about kurdish militant groups, the pkk in particular.he americans and the british will be trying to work out whether this is an attempt by president erdogan to get some concessions from the process, because remember, they need the agreement of the existing 30 members for them to join, whether it is a policy on behalf of the turks or represents more fundamental opposition to the expansion of nato. in terms of the timetable, what are we looking at for finnish and swedish applications and accession? well, interesting, this. over the weekend, sweden in particular, the governing party there, the social democrats, they have been meeting, the prime minister and otherfigures within the party have been talking about whether this is a good thing for sweden, because traditionally the party has been against sweden joining nato, so the indications are that they will be changing their policy on that. it is not every day you see that — apologies for the noise there. but in terms of finland, we think in the coming days, there will be a decision. the way
