officials go to turkey. well there is such low trust at the moment between brussels that i'm corrupt on both sides that in the end it will be transactional negotiations what do you offer what do you want but the point is that it is also will reach an outcome that is good for both sides the question for european union is is it going to put on the table something that is meaningful to turkey don't forget turkey has 3 and a half 1000000 syrian refugees 3 times more than the whole european union so far european union to want to help for all in a humane way irregular migration it is obvious that there needs to be support not just for the refugees in turkey already but also for another 3000000 at least internally displaced in syria close to the turkish border are currently being supported in the humanitarian way through turkey so i guess the question is what will the european union put on the table at the same time turkey has an interest in a new agreement because due to the breaking down of they dream and it's no

in turkey. well actually it's quite symbolic that we have watched your leaders in and cracked to date bits i wouldn't be so pasts getting into the group lucian that day will be positive reset because i think it is going to do you leaders the ball is in turkey's court right now because to do a live protest that they have announced in the european council means it meeting like saying that if things go well that it be escalation in eastern the training is sustained for example then it will be a positive agenda very close to it and on the table if things go bad on the other hand the least of pristiq the measures sanctions is also. on the table i think with today's visit the you have the most tweeted that if has each rests in a low functioning relationship with turkey and atlanta on the table but as i sad the ball is on turkey's floor right now what do you make of the e.u. used talk of respect for human rights and is that just window dressing and at the end of the day the a you still needs turkey to

as a major diplomatic victory for turkey in itself and this is very much a reward for turkey starting. with its neighbor greece she's an e.u. member the 2 countries have even frighten the possibility of military conflict over ongoing territorial disputes in the chin and the mediterranean and the fact now that turkey is talking with greece this is seen by the e.u. as taking a more constructive approach and very much a reward for that approach now they will be looking for concrete measures to look for a framework going forward between the 2 very much. is that still on the table. no i think while it is still a turkey still officially and e.u. accession applicant few people believe that that is going to happen in the near or far distant future what we're seeing here now i think is an effort for mapping out a relationship with turkey eason seen as an e.u. member but still a fact that they can work together going forward and turkey is so important to the e.u. and to put it in terms of this migration deal turkey's infectivity europe the gate keeper for migrants and refugees entering europe o

officials have held talks with turkey's president. ursula fund a lion in charles me show said that they expressed concerns about turkey's commitment to human rights migration and richard g. policy were also on the agenda today. you're watching news live from berlin i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news followed by the day i hope to see you then. kick off. town atmosphere means listless clay soft from the. looks of guns and the men plus 5 successive. non-stop excitement to the final match to. sneak up. on d w. 100 small thieves in my hands. where i come from roggio remains an important soft transmitting and for mission and when i was young my country was drawing. the war throbbing of people most people were gods that i wanted to see. it was my natural to to in want of the law to just say so as not everyone in the town. and listen to was against. nothing has been from incident my own copy out in john's mall designed so long even it's not by us i was it's with. my choice in this card because given their way toward tran

you know initiative which turkey has called for to look at the archives to turkey has said you know we will open our archives and make it accessible to anyone who wants to come and actually. study this and in you know we will talk on an objective. reality rather than saying this this is politicized because we know you know it is not secret that the armenian diaspora armenian lobbies in the united states have been extremely powerful and could be have been pushing this forward not because this is that this is necessarily a fact to to be labeled as the genocide but to to to because they want to pressure turkey into you know something that they want to achieve ok ultimately ok so i let me just let me just go into nick then forth in washington for a 2nd nick mistake of assuming that the turkish foreign minister described mr biden's comments and his use of the word genocide as quote political opportunism is there any truth or any accuracy in that. i think what's important to point out is that of course the entire debate about this all history is political but what really politicized this was

turkey deal we will further engage with turkey on issues such as migration financing high level dialogues and modernizing the customs union if turkey does not move forward construction constructively if it returns to a unit that will actions or problem in particular in the eastern mediterranean of course we would suspend these corp measures relations reach a low point when turkey is data drilling in the mediterranean sea in areas that countries crease in cyprus consider their territory turkey has now put these activities on hold but other strains remain for example turkey and the use diversion policies on regional conflicts like libya and syria and you concerns over democratic standards in turkey even if the. hoping for a new chapter in their relations cooperation between the 2 will likely remain fragile. as. dorian jones in a stumble well dorgan a press conference is about to start one of the what is each side hoping to get out of this meeting. well this meeting is seen as pretty important the message coming from e.u. diplomats is that they seek to create a new framework to work with tur

s 26000 migration deal with turkey greek authorities with e.u. support have to examine whether each person arriving here has a right to asylum those whose claims are rejected must return to turkey and as long as asylum seekers don't have an answer they can't leave the islands critics claim this model is simply not working because it creates a situation of deep injustice because people are kept in some cases for many years in the home. and as we've seen the conditions there. they're really not effective and if we look at the coach of auditor's report on the hot spots for instance they show that extremely expensive and not serving the original purposes of rock decision on cases instead of setting up appropriate infrastructure to deal with asylum cases in a swift manner 5 years on from when the deal was signed with or to use our operating emergency even the e.u. commissioner your hands on agrees this system has to change i don't want to have hotspots i would like to have proper reception facilities but people should not stay for long and then. syste

what about these negotiations for turkey to possibly become a member of the european union does turkey still want to join. well president one only a few weeks ago said that this sees a key policy of turkey to join the european union but it has to be said that neve aside believe that this is really a stick in the short medium or even long term most people think the turkey's accession bit is dead and that has presenting the european union with a big problem because turkey's accession it was also always its most important leverage over turkey now that that is seen as the e.u. is now looking for new leverage and this is why i think they are opening up to talks of a customs union modernization and possible live a visa liberalization they see this as providing very important leverage going forward and that's important given the fact that they are looking to turkey to all its migration and we heard that that is seen as a priority for the e.u. that turkey continues to know all of the parts of the migration deal all right you don't use dorian joins with the latest tonight from istanbul during t

does turkey still want to join?ian: president erdogan a few weeks ago said this is a key policy of turkey to join the european union, but it has to be said that neither side believes this is realistic in the short or long-term. that has presented their pin union with the problem. -- the european union with a problem. the eu is looking for new leverage, and this is why they are opening up talks over customs union modernization, possible visa liberalization. they see this as providing important leverage going rward, and that's important given the fact they are looking to turkey to honor its migration deal. we heard that is seen as a priority for the eu, that turkey continues to honor all parts of the migration deal. brent: dorian jones from istanbul, thank you. here's a look at some other stories making headlines. egypt and sudan say talks aimed at resolving a dispute with ethiopia over a dam on the nile river have ended without progress. ethiopia is constructing the dam and says it is vital for power. sudan is concer

in turkey. well actually it's quite symbolic that we have watched your leaders in one crack to date bits i wouldn't be so fast so getting into the completion that there will be a positive reset because i think it is going to do you leaders the ball is in turkey's court right now because to do a lip roach that they have announced in the european council means a meeting like saying that if things go well that if the escalation of these to mean the training is sustained example then it will be a positive agenda very close to it and on the table if things go bad on the other hand the least of pristiq the measures sanctions is also. on the table i think with today's visit do you have the most traded that it's has each rests in a low functioning relationship with turkey and atlanta on the table but as i sad the ball is on turkey's floor right now what do you make of the talk of respect for human rights i mean is that just window dressing and at the end of the day that you still needs turkey to prevent

officials go to turkey. well there is such low trust at the moment between brussels that i'm corrupt on both sides that in the end it will be a transactional negotiations what do you offer what do you want but the point is that it is also will reach an outcome that is good for both sides the question for european union is is it going to put on the table something that is meaningful to turkey don't forget turkey has 3 and a half 1000000 syrian refugees 3 times more than the whole european union so far european union to want to help for all in a humane way irregular migration it is obvious that there needs to be support not just for the refugees in turkey already but also for another 3000000 at least internally displaced in syria close to the turkish border we're currently being supported in humanitarian way through turkey so i guess the question is what will the european union put on the table at the same time techie has an interest in a new agreement because due to the breaking down of their green meant it's

turkey is still officially and e.u. accession applicant few people believe that that is going to happen in the in the near or far distant future what we're seeing here now i think is an efforts for mapping out a relationship where turkey eason seen as an e.u. member but still a fact that that they can work together going forward and turkey is so important to the e.u. and to put it in the terms of this migration deal turkey's infectivity europe the gate keeper from migrants and refugees entering your role to continue they will be talking about money and they will also be offering the incentive of what visa free travel liberalization also a customs union agreement modernize seize a key things that turkey want these are seen as a carrot to the e.u. believe they can offer to keep turkey on the the constructive road but speaking to you speaking to human rights groups and people there is a growing fear that the talk of human rights is now being slid off the agenda as pragmatism now the order of the day few expect that the e.u

and turkey right now are really strained at the u.s. is not very happy that turkey purchased a russian missile systems that's something that triggered sanctions actually it is not happy about turkey's role in the region its role in libya and syria it is also a not happy about what it sees as a backsliding on democracy and human rights and turkey so certainly these disagreements seem to have bolstered a president biden into making this announcement and i should say there seems to be a certain sense among administration officials that because ties are so bad they are ready and willing to take any blowback that might come from ankara. scandal reporting for us from washington thank you. now let's get the view from turkey and for that i'm joined by our correspondent in istanbul dorian jones hello to you dorian so there has already been a reaction from ankara to the u.s. statement referring to a genocide in armenia what is the turkish government saying. scandalous is what the turkish foreign ministry said in a statement saying this is inflict

is not happy that turkey purchased russian missile systems that actually targeted sanctions towards turkey they're not happy with turkey's role in libya and in syria and they're also not happy about what they see as a backsliding on democracy and human rights question so certainly these disagreements bolstered president biden in his decision and there is a sense among some administrative officials that because times are so bad they are ready and willing to deal with any blowback that might come from uncle ron. in washington and for the other side of the story we spoke to our correspondent dorian jones in istanbul about the anger biden's decision has sparked in turkey. scandalous is what the turkish foreign ministry said in a statement saying this is inflicted deep wounds to turkish u.s. relations while the president of egypt typer the one and a message to the istanbul armenian patriarca said that this issue should be resolved by historians and shouldn't be allowed to be exploited by 3rd party political opportunists while the turkish foreign minister met a charter show low in a tweet said t

in turkey especially in meetings held in turkey applies to protocol that is in line with international protocol rules as well as world renowned turkish hospitality traditions always extremely accusations against turkey within the framework of the importance we give to women and other issues. let's go back to brussels and i can tell you that what's even more ridiculous is that such high profile officials as the president of the european council had to explain themselves and why he didn't stand up for as callie in turkey and give explanations about his behavior. i was convinced that any reaction among the public could be perceived lism there was a risk of provoking an even more serious incident which would reduce the already fragile chills of having listening to relations with turkey. as we just heard the chances of good relations are already fragile so if we can just for a moment aside what was the actual purpose of this meeting this high level diplomatic meeting and i encourage rory this is what makes the situation even more absurd because in the 1st place the e.u. officials headed to

i believe in turkey, turke is the genocide. i believe in turkey, turkey is going — the genocide.to _ the genocide. i believe in turkey, turkey is going to face _ the genocide. i believe in turkey, turkey is going to face this - turkey is going to face this genocide one day, and we will have thatjustice, i'm sure about it. would you see it in your lifetime? i would you see it in your lifetime? i hope to see it. but two generations have passed, without seeing it. without seeing justice. this will cause breast tension between america and turkey, two nato allies, but the reality is, relations are already deeply strained over a range of issues including turkey�*s human rights record, and president biden is making it clear he is not too worried about keeping the turkish leader happy. 0rla guerin, bbc news, istanbul. an indonesian submarine which has been missing since wednesday with 53 crew members on board has sunk — the country's navy has confirmed. officials say debris from the vessel has been found. it follows an extensive search of an area north of bali, where the vessel disappear

and those are down sides with turkey.emely important ally of ours in syria and libya, the ukraine, afghanistan, the caucasus, and in nato and in containing both russia and iran, which are both on the march throughout the middle east and the region. >> so we understand that turkey summoned the u.s. ambassador. that is to be expected no doubt. what other chips is mr. erdogan holding right now? how could he make life difficult for the biden administration? >> first of all, it depends on whether he speaks out personally. sooner or later he will. he hasn't yet. that may be a good sign. president biden sensibly called erdogan yesterday to give him an alert. what he could do, that is, erdogan, is to limit american non-nato military operations out of turkey. we have significant forces and significant use of turkish bases there. secondly, he could make life more difficult for us particularly in syria but also in these other areas where we and turkey are more or less on the same side, but they're all complicated. libya, ukraine, an

turkey has reacted angrily after u.s. president joe biden formally recognize the armenian genocide which took place during the ottoman era both the turkish government and opposition condemned the u.s. announcement with the foreign minister calling it populism its statement by said he and all americans honor the memory of all those are many and who perished in genocide that began exactly 160 years ago is acknowledgment comes as thousands of people in armenia as capital yerevan commemorate the mass killings deportations and forced marches. marching forward to look back on many an official to lead the nation in commemorating the horrors of the past the procession of this hilltop memorial in the capital we haven't included prime minister nicole pasha. members of the public to streamed in to on of the dead and they will come the announcement from washington formally recognizing those past events as a genocide. i think it's a great thing that biden recognizes the armenian genocide because the us are a major country and it might

why it turkey has rejected. the cooperation between an armed group and the state which is united states a basically the relations have come. come to this point so far as i said president biden statement was expected but when you look at the turkish army and so side of this is also one of the important things for instance the 85th patriarca of the turkish are many and so sorry to mr my certainly on the liver do an interview to send the state news agency and he said that the 3rd parties should be actually. contributing on the peace efforts between 2 communities and he actually welcome took his president's latest efforts to create a 6 country basin in the caucuses and he said that this proposal actually can bring peace it can be the peace deal of the century so of for turkey it's a populist decision but of course how the relations will prevail from now on it is that unknown but things will be much more difficult between washington and korea but many thanks for that for us in istanbul. lots more ahead on the news ho

is not happy that turkey purchased russian missile systems that actually targeted sanctions towards turkey they're not happy with turkey's role in libya and in syria and they're also not happy about what they see as a backsliding on democracy and human rights question so certainly these disagreements bolstered president biden in his decision and there is a sense among some administrative officials that because times are so bad they are ready and willing to deal with any blowback that might come from uncle ron. so we saw this kind of reporting there to india now where hospitals are launching desperate appeals for help as the health system there crumbles coronavirus infection rates in the country continue to break global records the government has given top priority to the transport of life saving oxygen but hospitals are running out of beds and supplies and are no longer admitting new patients. overwhelmed and under supplied this delhi hospital is one of thousands across india besieged by the country's 2nd coronavirus wave as the dead are carted off patients too sick to move languish on the

in just 2 years' time turkey will mark a 100 years since its inception as a modern republic and the man on the 100 lire note mustapha kemal ataturk was elected its 1st president but almost a century later and the man currently holding that office is finding himself in an uphill economic battle with elections not far away which up type of prime minister 2003 president from 2014 has always been an expansionist capitalizing on turkey's strategic position both geographically and politically i can 2011 when he announced a controversial plan to build the stand bull can now it would run parallel to the bosphorus now the problem is that renewed efforts to get that project moving again is open up a real can of worms there is a possible breach of a treaty that has kept the peace and the traffic flowing through the bosphorus to just who will pay for it given the states had to spend heavily on the pandemic its debts of sorts to $270000000000.00. but on top of that international investors have been losing faith and thora tarion rule and unconventional economics for the last few years maybe the simpl

former us ambassador to turkey, jamesjeffrey, explains why there was such an angry reaction from turkeyement. many of us who are concerned about the important turkish—american relationship of course cautioned against it but in the end, biden had made this commitment to his voters and he carried it out. it also has a lot of support in congress and we have to remember that many, many countries including many in western europe and russia have done this already but the us plays a special role in turkey's national security, so it has a bigger sting than anybody else to be honest. the turks feel sensitive about this not because they deny what happened to the armenians in 1915 but the use of the term "genocide", they see this associated only with nazi crimes and it's an effort to make turkey the "other" in the west even though it's a nato member. so that's the sensitivity to turks including erdogan, it's much bigger than erdogan. james jeffrey. three people are reported dead in attack on an iranian fuel tanker off syria. firefighters have extinguished the blaze following the suspected drone at
