2nd round. Case president. Is in russia for talks on the war in syria bus relations between the 2 countries are under strain thats despite the signing of a deal to create a deescalation zone near the rebel stronghold of a year ago and then a strike by russian backed Syrian Forces targeted a turkish convoy on its way to 2 weeks ago adding to the tension. And with russian backing syria increased its aerial attacks on it lived and how many provinces in april to regain rebel held areas to support some of the rebels in the region but ankaras purchase of russias s 400 Missile Defense system is a fact thats keeping relations more or less on track to 0 step and is with us now from chicago ski near the russian capital moscow and can tell us more thats where the meeting is taking place so whats expected to come out of this meeting step. Well for now a president putin is showing off his assail salesman skills he has so shown the turkish president the latest version of the sukhoi 57. 00 fighter jet and hes showing more equipment to the turkish president right now but its not sure if the gun is in any mood for shopping right now because he has hastily travel to moscow to talk to put in about whats going on and it described the situation in a phone call last friday as a humanitarian crisis and also as a threat to Turkish National security he wants put into rein in the Syrian Forces but put in spokesman said that he does understand the concerns of president out of gun but he also is very concerned about the rebel forces in the area which he describes as terrorists and theres also an increasing feeling here in russia that there is some kind of impatience with what john has been doing after he promised to rein in these rebel groups and this armed im joining a meeting and saatchi last year russia feels that nothing has been done so it is a big question here how much compromise russia wants to give to oregon today all right stephanie thanks indeed lets across live to pundits miss whos in antakya near the turkey syria border bernadotte a one wants russia to safeguard turkish troops observation posts in northwestern syria south of it what problems is the Turkish Military having in that area. Well present the Turkish Military are in a real bind there are a dozen observation posts in what are supposed to be deescalation zones thats why they were established but really fighting is continuing in that area particularly as the Syrian Regime pushes ahead in and is attempt to encroach further on the last rebel held strong stronghold of so as one turkish observation post that is now really marooned in syrian controlled territory territory that was retaken last week so those soldiers there are surrounded on the other observation posts are essentially in areas that could come back under control of the Syrian Regime as the regime a regime pushes its way towards it so what good one wants to do is to guarantee the safety of turkish troops in those observation posts he wants he has said that any threat the smallest attack we will retaliate of this is a lot of dash to moscow to make sure that his soldiers are an hour protected but in the long term what decide got to decide what is going to do with these observation posts but attorney thinks indeed probably felgenhauer is a defense and military analyst hes also a columnist for the voyage and he joins us now live from moscow good to have you with us problems trying to interpret the body language there when we saw the other one together earlier what is the current state of the relationship between russia and turkey would you think they consider themselves to be allies. Well were not allies then close partners and both leave that both president s have. Important interest to avoid right now clash in the between russia and syrian and Turkish Forces us to continue this close relationship so i believe that theyre going to be trying to find some kind of compromise but thats going to be a very uneasy compromise because theyre on the ground interests of turkey and the interests of russia and the mosque us are very much at loggerheads and theres very little trust between the Syrian Regime the turkish regime and between the Russian Military and the Turkish Military because its also important for russia of course to secure its air base in clean him close to attacking against rebel attacks and its even moscow that failed to secure that that the rebels from the live province have still been trying to lob attacks using this homemade drones and thats acceptable so theres a tactical reason that puts the turkey and rob russia against each other but theres a big wont there of strategic reason for them to try and find a compromise for russia its very important to be close to turkey its important to push the rebels as far away from khamenei must possible and possibly end the Syrian Civil War by. A big row with from rebel forces about the same time its maybe even more important for russia to push turkey away from america and nato and closer to russia puzzle in an ideal world what sort of relationship moscow want with turkey and is it realistic. Well moscow would ideally want turkey to further their worst of us through ations with washington and the west in general if not to formally weaving nato undermining its nato connection so that the russia with its have friendly power controlling the black sea straits the bosphorus and the dardenne out and that has been the russian objective for several 100 years actually if not the millennia to have a friend to a regime controlling the straits russia fought many wars because of that and thats a long term very important strategic objective and what is the 11 from russia that. Had a gun right once of course to show the 30 ish people that his independent policy kind of opposing the United States some different. Moving closer to russia is giving fruit that russias going to compromise its going to rein in its soldiers and its allies and the mask a saree she and that turkey of influence in the middle east may increase using i know i and if not no i its a close relationship Strategic Partnership with russia 1 the walk their dog on of course does not want to fight a big fight in the leave that well we need 2 100000. 00 more refugees pouring over the border into turkey which would be a disaster for him internally Public Schools took too many thanks to you for being with us probable phil going to school. Irans president says his country wont hold talks on any nuclear deal with the u. S. Unless all sanctions are lifted. His comments come a day after u. S. President donald trump said at the g. 7 summit in france that he was open to meeting the iranian leader president of money has offered to facilitate talks between the 2. 00 sides but rouhani insists washington must take the 1st step for talks to happen pass. On the 1st step is to remove sanctions without it this lock wont be open all sanctions against the iranian nation must be lifted they are all illegitimate and cruel if you lift the sanctions and apologize to iran then you would be a different situation this government is moving forward in line with this National Interest we have been open to negotiation and the word agrees with this fact. Aljazeera said beggars and i have more on rouhani speech in just a few moments but 1st the sasha butler reports from the g. 7 summit where the french president called on teh front of washington to get back to the negotiating table. The prospect of a meeting between the u. S. And iranian president was not unlikely outcome of the g 7 in berates but is the summit came to an end its the french president suggested talks between donald trump and Hassan Rouhani were possible. At some point there has to be a meeting between the iranian president and the us president i hope that in the next few weeks this meeting will take place france plays a role along with the other partners who signed the iran deal trump who pulled the u. S. Out of the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal last year and imposed sanctions said he was open to diplomacy were looking for Nuclear Weapons globalist missiles and a longer period of time very simple we can have it done in a very short period of time. And i really believe that iran can be a great nation id like to see that happen the development came one day after the unexpected arrival of the Iranian Foreign minister in berates jihads our reef was invited by the french president who had been asked by some g 7 leaders to mediate in the crisis. Trust conciliatory tone was also extended to trade he said beijing and washington could begin talks to resolve the tariffs disputes going into this summit a man or mackerel said he wanted to use it to make progress on the escalating tensions over iran and trade help tackle the amazon rain forest fires and kill divisions using multilateral cooperation at the end of the 3 day meeting it seems the french president has succeeded on several fronts they were unresolved issues though the u. K. s Prime MinisterBoris Johnson received only a vague promise of a future trade accord with the us and was no nearer to a deal on breaks it with the European Union i think its the job of everybody in parliament to get this thing done making it what the people want i also think by the way its what our friends and partners on the other side of the channel want they want they want this thing done they want they want it over last year trump refused to sign the final g 7 statement this year has scrapped it replacing it with a one page summary of the meeting so with no commitments in writing the challenge will be to. Compel leaders to act in the full promises they have made such a popular aljazeera spirits are lets get back to what i said big in tehran i said you were listening to that speech by president rouhani on tuesday he sort of backtracked from what had originally been reported but in principle does it look like hes willing to meet president trump. Well he has been speaking this morning and hes basically reiterated the previous lines that iran will not talk to the United States they will not have negotiations with the United States as long as those sanctions are in place so it does look like there has been some backtracking or changing of policies he said that all the sanctions against the iranian nation must be lifted that is illegitimate and cruel now the iran has called these sanctions economic terrorism they have resulted in the reduction of oil exports for iran the Banking Sector has been hit and the economy has suffered president rouhani said that he did not see any positive developments unless the United States change its wrong path now again this is Something Different that came from president rouhani yesterday because what he said yesterday gave some people hope that they could be some talks because he said if you have to enter a meeting to talk to someone to forward the iranian cause and to alleviate iranian peoples problems then he would do that for the National Interest at that seems to have changed for some reason but what we cant rule out is the Supreme Leader of iran are to the how many who do who decides the direction of all major policies here and hes always said that iran will not sit down and talk to United States as long as those sanctions are in place in fact he said to do so would be double poison meaning that you are sitting dissension sitting down with the very people that are making your country suffer given that is there any possible way forward that could result result in talks than between the u. S. And iran. Well president rouhani and donald trump are set to attend the United Nations in late september the new york so the president of france has been trying hard to work something out there has been the suggestion of suffering of sanctions or a way to compensate the iranian people but one thing that they cant possibly agree on is that donald trump says he does not want iran to have Nuclear Weapons will this morning president rouhani has reiterated the ring in line that iran does not want a Nuclear Weapons he said that the military doctrine here is not based on attaining the nuclear bomb and iran does not want weapons of mass destruction with a nuclear or chemical also the foreign minister foreign minister zarif has been speaking hes been on the asia tour and he said that the meeting between donald trump and president rouhani is imaginable unless United States comes back to the j. C. P. O. Thats in 2015 nuclear deal and joins the other countries within that otherwise would be no bilateral talks so somethings changed in iran from yesterday that had given people hope that president rouhani was willing to meet donald trump or people within the u. S. Administration somethings changed overnight and theyve gone back today reiterated policy which is no talks no negotiations with the United States as long as those sanctions are in place. As a big reporting live from tehran as atlanta thanks. This from our series still to come on the program. On the line. With bill but the nominee might get some of. The damage. Stranded at the border venezuelans fleeing crises at home apart from entering ecuador under its new visa restrictions. And its forced into balance do you strike that means business he shares his italian club just why hes worth the money. China insists there were no recent contacts between washington and beijing to talk about trade the comments came after u. S. President donald trump said they did talk by phone on monday donald trump predicted that there would be a trade deal with china very soon both sides have increased tariffs on each others goods in recent days gone from scott heide beijing. The Chinese Government flat out said no that hasnt happened so i guess as you mentioned obviously there have been a lot of myths truths out there that have been stated about many Different Things that a lot of it about this trade war so i guess one way to maybe interpret this is maybe this is a negotiation tactic that present donald trump has deployed and existing there is a little bit of a reeling back by his officials there who are with him at the g 7 meetings saying that yes theres been contacts so he went back from 2 specific phone calls and yes theres been contact Chinese Government saying no that hasnt happened at all but you also have to look at from the other side maybe this is a negotiating tactic from the chinese too so theres a lot of. Fog of understanding around this but right now the Chinese Government official line saying there has been no contact about moving these trade talks forward one thing thats interesting to note they were already scheduled supposedly did to go ahead in september with some meetings but we havent heard any details about that particularly after we saw this kind of very heated tit for tat last friday and then over the weekend brazil has rejected an offer of 20000000000 dollars from the g 7 leaders to help countries affected by files burning in the amazon and president jaya both scenarios said that the idea of creating an International Alliance to save the rain forest treats his country like a colony. Of the reports now from port of l o one of the worst affected areas. From one side of the plane and the. Pristine life too big to destroy then suddenly its gone. The rate of deforestation in recent months breaking all records fires are started by speculators aiming to impose mans will on nature but they often rage out of control and the devastation is immeasurable. This year the fires are much stronger than previous years there are very very strong affecting our visibility on work i think people took advantage of the dry. Season to start the fires they do it to dispose of them wanted vegetation to enrich the soil and clear the way for lucrative cattle ranches and soya plantations only from up here you get it they make. The suction 1st for the great plates and found one ready because i think that last point by the fire we simply. Doesnt jive also not off the strong criticism from around the world that he wasnt doing enough to fight the fires has deployed the military these hercules c 130. 00 s. Taking off from portal vale to spray some of the affected areas. All the order was given on thursday and by saturday biami was supporting the operation so personal of being in the fields and steam combating the fires on sunday it rained would also help to put out the fires. This is the beginning of the rainy season which the author of his hope will douse the fires of the still burning there bemused by the International Concern saying they are dealing with what for them is an annual but containable problem people tend to see the problem with their always ends or with the letters that offer today and i think that we there are here right now inside of the problem we have lets say very used to the problem and now we know we we really doesnt look at it as a broken or such a big problem as is so right now. People come to the Amazon Region believing they can tame the wilderness can take control of the 40 developments from up here looks at the only way to tame the rain forest is to destroy it and when now does iran what will the north west and brazil and his personal struggles to control tens of thousands of files people in peru be using brooms shovels and branches to fight back flames the government says that forests covering more than 140. 00 hectares of the poor a mark region of burned down. The grim existence of women trafficked from nigeria is being highlighted in a new report victims of trafficking described how they prayed for death or cried until they couldnt cry anymore Human Rights Watch says an unknown number of Nigerian Women have been forced into sexual slavery and physical labor many of them before the age of 17 the report says the support for survivors is inadequate at existing systems either fail to help or sometimes breach victims rights Human Rights Watch has recommended an overhaul of the countrys support system and says that by jiri as government has to do more to prevent trafficking earlier my colleague Richelle Carey spoke to agnes or the ambo the author of the report shes a womens rights researcher for Human Rights Watch she spoke with people whove been subjected to human rights breaches by traffickers and the government. So there traffic because of really come up with very crafty methods of you know reaching with these women sometimes when we men were talking to made out like a truck because were really predators who had been preying on them and looking at the have in our vulnerability and these are we men particularly and girls who had been frustrated in their homes in that community as they were facing violence in their home or they had dropped out of school because their families could not take them to school when they were struggling to you know to make a living and so they did leave them with promises that theyre going to get very good jobs out of nigeria or need to force them into forced prostitution in and domestic servitude so what are. Once they realize that they have basically been entrapped and lied to in what are some of the experiences like for them that they that they lived through yeah i mean they have gone through horrible experiences right from through the agendas from nigeria many of them traveling through you know. Being held in places late i got days traveling through their Sahara Desert with no food least no war 3 women and girls were talking of old being raped by that dries was being the 10 and you know witnessing some of them dying and just you know being thrown as the vehicle is moving and then once in captivity they are forced to work for long hours without raised on fire and some of them i can find in a building theyre not allowed to talk to their family lives sometimes theyre not going to allow to be friends with the other girls that have been trafficked theres a lot of violence you know a lot of threats when girls were sistar say they are not able to work many of them say that they go pregnant they were forced to undergo abortions in very unsanitary conditions and then theyre white charged for most abortions and immediately i. That they have to start liking and then go out on their own so much money you know Something Like 20000. 00 u. S. So really they remain very traumatized and very distressed they come they have come back with a lot of pain and with a lot of trauma and poverty once they survive such a horrible thing like this what is the type of support if any of that is there for them well unfortunately the nightmare does not and when they come back to nigeria because many of the Government Services are lucky and. Some of them are locked up in government run shelters where they are not allowed to leave at will theyre not allowed to communicate with their families almost replicating some of the conditions that they experience when they allow the traffic up or something seems of sex trafficking in nigeria end up leaving the country al jazeera on an address has met some of them while he was reporting from libya and mali is now back in a budget from where he joins us live what todays women tell you well basically her ruling experiences for them and ive met a lot of them. Teenagers some of them underage some of them as the youngest 11 who have been forced into sexual slavery some have been trafficked based on the track that they were actually going to get jobs in europe and north america and other developed societies in the world however they end up in the hands of traffickers for example the libya situation is such that these goes are trafficked forced into sexual slavery and also tortured in some cases theyre kidnapped and then showed over to other people after resumes been paid for them now that is only part of the problem and this is we also were only talking about migrants who travel through libya. A few months ago we were in mali argentina was in mali to follow up on a story of more than 20000. 00 nigerian girls and young women who were trapped inside showed slavery in the mining fields of mali we met some of them we took a trip to that region in mali and Police Escort eventually we were told that the police and enough to handle the situation so we were given extra reinforcement of the military and even at that when we went to that region we were in the military was intimidated because the number of hundreds of people on motorcycles and machetes guns and all sorts of weapons emerged out of nothing and they wanted us out eventually we got to meet some of these nigerian girls and we were told that they cannot leave and they have to follow due process and youre talking about 20000 people some of these goals were practically young off the streets in their School Uniforms and taken over to mali others in fact also trafficked based on the 5 or based on the promise that they while going to get jobs in mali some were told that they were going to mali and then all of a sudden after travelling through beneath a public across other parts of west africa into mali the she had a thing ended so they ended up in mali and they ended up in brothels and being exploited sexually and the conditions then even very horrible conditions of many thanks to address them reporting live from bhutto.

What were trying to do with the assistance of the department of Foreign Affairs and try and with the Foreign Affairs minister is to determine the foundation of that charge one would assume it would be more than simply being a democracy activist it seemed conceivable that he could be charged simply because of a political view that he minded spouse as to the nature of the the political structure in China Australia has foreign minister says the young has been held in harsh conditions and that a government has some serious concerns for his welfare we have heard those reports and we are deeply concerned.
