turkey relations turkey is working hard to improve it you have the u.s. envoy to syria james jeffries in on courage trying to hammer out a deal with turkey regarding safe zones and security in syria and then you have all this going on in washington right now you have decades long deals being ripped up so there's a lot of question right it's not right now and. it's the balls in washington square and we have to analyze what's going on very very closely you said it's good to talk to my guests use a fair and political analyst for the us to t.l.c. will many thanks. briggs it now just around the corner of course also. gaining momentum in the. french presence around your microphone as outlined a grand vision of his for a reformed europe is open letter features a number of ambition plans but they've already infuriated many. the money will mark on promises an ambitious europe in a climate europe is nothing but hot air tax evasion multi-nationals diktats free and fair combined in europe. and while it may not be all that warmly welcomed at home the idea did receive

well i mean turkey has in turkey have been wrought with allegations of vote rigging in the last few years from the opposition and in fact the last local elections in there was major scenes of major allegations of vote rigging and vote fair there was reports of ballot card of men breaking in and stealing fowl of boxes and that was a very closely for campaign campaign and that really set the ground for opposition concerns over these future elections but this election for now at least there hasn't been any real reports of major irregularities although we are now in the critical phase of counting of the vote and that is where the opposition have voiced for concerns in the past of irregularities the ruling a.k.p. government of the night is we are in for a tense few hours especially as predictions are that many of the votes the key cities in turkey are expected to be very close so local elections but national political consequences absolutely and in fact the turkish president urged one has made these polls a referendum about his rule in fact in a rally on saturday he said to the very gains that

going further than that by saying that if any australians came to turkey with murderous intent then they would in his words go home in coffins like their grandfathers from literally now this is a reference to the literally campaign of the first world war when thousands of australian and new zealand soldiers died in the battles against turkish troops it is something that is very close to the hearts of all australians and any attempt to misuse or disrespect the memory of these soldiers is regarded here as being highly offensive morrison has called in the turkish ambassador for a dressing down on wednesday and for an explanation of these comments afterwards he said he did not receive a satisfactory explanation and he's still demanding that the one with draw his comments saying that if he doesn't then australia is likely to take action and that all options are open. and so then course he has more from istanbul. all march thirty first turkey is heading to the ports for local elections and to the ruling party which is headed by president done this local election is also seen as an event t

by turkey's president. that's brought this response from his australian counterpart remarks of been made by the turkish president. that i consider highly offensive to astride the ins. and highly reckless in this very sensitive environment he's talking about the claim made by erdogan that the alleged australian gunman in the christchurch shootings had also made threats against people in turkey he went further saying give us trade unions came to turkey to do harm they would face the same fate as australian soldiers killed in the first world war battle of can the police. if you come with the same intentions you are always welcome have no doubt we will send you back like your grandfather's murder one has already been widely criticised for making political capital out of the christ church to things by showing footage from the attacks at his rallies but the memory of the thousands of australians who died in the literally is revered here and people are offended if that's not respected turkey's ambassador was calle

turkey also wanted to buy.nted to buy. again, i welcome the fact that we continue to address the issue and turkey and if the us are talking... you welcome the facts but with respect, you are not taking any position. i am asking a simple question... that would not be helpful. the best thing i can do is try to find a solution between the united states and turkey. if i went out publicly and gave them advice, i think that would not make my work easier. one other specific situation, afghanistan. again, the americans, donald trump's administration appears to be intent of at least cutting by at least 50% the number of american troops in afghanistan in a short order. he wa nts to afghanistan in a short order. he wants to focus on counter insurgency operations and stop the work alongside the afghan military training and helping the afghan military. i am pleased that we now see progress when it comes to peace talks for the first time in many, many years. before we get to peace talks, there are many european nations, part
