Had to culhane reports from washington d. C. After the arrest of a worker at the u. S. Embassy in ankara and a warrant issued for another the us took the unusual step of saying they would stop issuing visas for some turkish nationals traveling to america the first explanation was posted by the u. S. Ambassador to turkey on twitter we dont know if these arrests are singular events or if we should expect other turkish Staff Members to be arrested turkey quickly followed suit with similar measures but president rich a type one said he did it reluctantly and on kind of this is a very sad decision and the ambassador has taken a decision and started implementing it so its a source of sadness. This is just the latest in a growing list of diplomatic back and forth the relationship between these two nato allies started souring during the Syrian Civil War turkey upset the u. S. Didnt do enough against the Assad Government even angrier when the u. S. Backed kurdish fighters and later armed them. Then last years coup attempt and it got worse blame to cleric for two of the golan who lives in the u. S. They wanted him extradited for his alleged role the Obama Administration refused and the Trump Administration hasnt moved on it either that was a big issue when he first met President Donald Trump but that was overshadowed by what happened when he left the oval office. Turkish Security Officers violently attacked what appeared to be Peaceful Protesters outside the turkish ambassadors residence fifteen of them were indicted in u. S. Courts and as a result the u. S. Stopped a planned sale of small arms to turkey turkey further angered the u. S.

S. For allegedly helping turkey of aid sanctions against iran it was a matter of wanting it back then wanting the case to go away it wanting him not to testify not wanting any of the details about their role in helping iran evade sanctions coming out in the course of a trial it will be yet another chance for the already frosty relationship to cool even more political hay in aljazeera washington. To other news now and iran is promising a crushing response and the u. S. Designates at some revolutionary guard as a terrorist kind of President Trump has been promoting a more hawkish strategy on iraq accusing it of supporting terrorism and exporting violence across the middle east and hes due to withdraw u. S. Government support for the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal this week he has more. In the last few days the headlines here have been dominated by defiant rhetoric from iranian leaders who say that any actions by the United States to impose new sanctions or to abandon the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal will be met with a strong response at a News Conference Irans Foreign Ministry spokesman backroom kasumi has said that it would be a strategic mistake for the white house to place the countrys revolutionary guard corps on a list of terror organizations and that he hoped for a more rational response from the u. S. President. Position is very clear we hope that the american authorities will not continue their mistakes or commit such a strategic mistake and impose new sanctions that would declare the revolutionary guard as a terrorist organization if they do that irans response will be decisive and overwhelming the u. S. Will not be able to face the consequences we hope that those who are wise in america will take the right steps and stand against such a decision the language in recent days from the revolutionary guard itself has been much stronger the chief commander has said that if the United States was to take such an action then its bases in the region would be considered strategic targets and that its troops in the region would be given the same status in the eyes of the Iranian Forces as i saw fighters and even as countries who helped negotiate the nuclear dealers the United States not to take any actions to abandon it iran wants people to know that it will need any new challenges from a position of strength its posturing on both sides that is putting the Obama Administrations hard won nuclear deal in jeopardy. Well toms wish to withdraw from the nuclear deal has to be endorsed by the u. S. Senate but his latest target on twitter happens to be the influential republican head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee bob corker says trump astray from the Oval Office Like a reality show in an explosive newspaper interview he said he was alarmed and concerned by the president s actions from washington helen fisher reports person of course who has a reputation as a reliable republican which makes his attack on the president even more remarkable in that interview with the New York Times he accused donald trump of treating the office of president like a reality show but he warns his reckless threats on twitter could set the u. S. On the path to World War Three such is the risk says the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that he says i know for a fact that every single day at the white house its a situation of trying to contain him its not the first time bob corker has spoken out against the president after announcing last week he wasnt going to run for the senate again he felt bold enough to say this i think. Secretary tellers and sectarian matters and. Chief of staff kelly. Are. Those people that help separate our country from chaos that candor seems to upset President Trump he took to twitter to claim that corker begged him to back him in the senate race but he refused that he asked to be secretary of state and was rejected and then you know expected corker to be a negative voice corker decided not to let that pass remember this is an open exchange from two Senior Republicans he responded its a shame the white house has become an Adult Daycare Center someone obviously missed their shift this morning he then followed up with the interview with the New York Times hoping and that more senators will really i go to her program has said and really perhaps put some pressure on the white house to tighten their act and really once in control of this president corker is said to be close to secretary of state Rex Tillerson who held a News Conference last week to reaffirm his support for the president after it was claimed he called mr trump a moron let me tell you what ive learned about this president whom i did not know before taking this office he loves this country he puts americans and America First a smart center corker still has more than a year of his final senate term to run and could cause issues for the president and his agenda if his feud with the white house continues and if other senators actually break ranks and express the concerns senator corker insists they also have alan fischer aljazeera washington.

Now more than one thousand six hundred people are facing mass trials in nigeria accused of being members of the rebel group. The trials are being held behind closed doors that a military facility writes quote said theyre worried about the lack of transparency its estimated twenty thousand people have been killed and millions displaced during eighty as a fighting between Government Troops and the armed groups for John Campbell is a former u. S. Ambassador to nigeria and he says the International Community needs to keep a close eye on the countrys judicial process we should be concerned because we will have no independent way of verifying how fair the trials are but there are other reasons to be concerned as well i think first of all the numbers to be tried are very large sixteen hundred at least at first there are only four judges that have been chosen to conduct the trials. That means the trials will either be very quick or the whole process will go on for a long time and then finally most of those who are being tried have been detained without charge for a relatively long period of time and one has to question whether or not evidence has been gathered by the authorities or whether their detention was simply arbitrary the conditions of night in nigeria and places of detention are pretty bad Amnesty International for example has estimated that some thousands of detainees have died mostly from disease lack of water lack of food so yes the fact that the trials are going ahead means that there is a judicial process in place it remains to be seen whether it will be fair.
