Project, the National Unity project and we cannot tolerate anyone taking advantage of the current climate and try to form into try to form illegal institutions or bodies. We have to be prepared to pay the cost of living in a country like turkey if we dont take that into account, if we are not prepared to pay for it then we may not have the luxury but whoever targets turkey they should be in no illusion and never forget that turkey is strong and turkey is powerful to punish those who try to target and attack turkey. I dont want anyone to have any worries due to the fact that turkey has just come out of an election and a new government is in the process of being formed but while that takes place we are in our office and we will of course take all necessary steps accordingly. Accordingly. So these are the live shots you are looking at from turkey that is the turkey Prime Minister, he was giving a statement on the resent developments in turkey saying that turkey cannot stand by as kurdish, leftist and Islamic State militants as help calls them all target turkey and said the security operation on friday and we saw raids going on across the country and air strikes take place inside syria targeting i. S. I. L. And said that security operation is not a one off but part of a comprehensive process. Also saying this marks the beginning of a period where operations will continue and they will widen gradually so he was speaking in ankora and crossing over for developments in the border of syria and interestingly mohamed he said that negotiations with the United States on that air base are separate from current Security Operations of course referring to developments that turkey is now allowing the u. S. To use that air base to launch attacks on i. S. I. L. In syria. Reporter yeah, that is right, doreen and we had heard earlier reports which officials had been saying that turkey agreed to let the u. S. Use its air base and possibly another air base from which to launch attacks from i. S. I. L. And, in fact, an item on an agency which is the official state media agency for turkey had also carried such an item quoting u. S. Officials and now it seems as though the Prime Minister denying this saying this was a separate issue saying that turkey was not under pressure from any outside country to do more, that they were dealing with terrorism if their own way although he did discuss the fact that the u. S. And turkey have been holding negotiations especially these past few weeks and we have seen u. S. Defense officials come to turkey and meet with officials here and try to figure out how they can broaden their cooperation and how they can more effectively fight the terror group like i. S. I. L. That are so threatening not just to turkey but the region as a whole and saying turkey is dealing with this in its own way and this negotiation was a separate thing and seeming to deny turkey had given access to any air base of the u. S. Or u. S. Led coalition from which to launch attacks from i. S. I. L. He also did say speaking about coordination he said that there will be more intensive coordination with allied nations and that is something that is going to continue. Also how are these comments going to be received across the country . Well the main message of Prime Ministers speak was this he said very definitively that he has given authorization to the military here to take any measures that they need to anybody who poses a threat to the borders of turkey. He is basically saying that turkey is not going to sit around any more that they are bolstering their military on the border especially they know how much of a threat they face right now from i. S. I. L. Now, one of the things we noticed here in this region in the past few days there is a lot of anger from the Kurdish Community because they dont feel the turkish government has done enough to protect them and fight i. S. I. L. And we spoke with a farmer just yesterday, here is what he told us here is our report report. Reporter he says he wishes for nothing more than a modest country life. The simple pleasure urs of being able to feed his animals without looking over his shoulder. Translator we used to be able to relax, to sleep well but since the start of the syrian war and especially the fighting in kobani we cant any more. Reporter now, there are worries over the safety of his wife and five children. Translator i. S. I. L. Could cross this border just by walking. They could do it very easily. Reporter he has seen it happen before and believes it will happen again. While this back drop certainly may not look tense its in small villages like this one on turkeys long border with syria which residents are constantly feeling a threat to their security. The village is directly across from the Syrian Border town of kobani and last year he saw the pitched battles from i. S. I. L. And kurdish ypg borders from his door stop. We saw this with our own eyes and still scared because the military does not catch i. S. I. L. And they are not arresting them. Reporter it was just down the road in downtown where security levels had already been raised that a suicide bomber killed 32 people on monday. Since then the tense relationship between turkeys government and kurdish population has grown worse. Many kurds accuse the government of not doing enough to combat the threat from i. S. I. L. And protect them allegations that officials strongly deny. Translator for those who say our government is connected to and supporting i. S. I. L. This is totally untrue. Our government is fighting especially against i. S. I. L. Because we see i. S. I. L. As the biggest threat. Reporter now, fears are growing but the fragile ceasefire between turkey and the pkk, the outlawed kurdis tan party will be broken and they claimed responsibility for the killing of two Turkey Police officers who they claim collaborated with i. S. I. L. He is weary of it all and far closer to the violence in syria than he is the security meetings, waiting for the chaos and conflicts to end, wanting only a life of simplicity he says his family deserves. Now, allow me to set the scene for you and our viewers a bit. Behind me what you see just about two kilometers in that direction that is a part of the border attacked by i. S. I. L. Yesterday, that is where the clashes ensued with i. S. I. L. And Turkish Military and calling the first direct clashes between i. S. I. L. And the Turkish Military, very significant development. Now, just in the past hour we have seen more turkish tanks heading in that direction so certainly this really highlights the measures that are being taken by the turkish government as something that Prime Minister spoke of just moments ago saying they will be bolstering Border Security as something we see with our own eyes and continuing to see and will it be enough and people dont think so but the turkish government saying they will protect the country from i. S. I. L. And other groups. Reporting and thank you very much. In burundi there has been more violence aimed at both government and opposition supporters results from tuesdays president ial election are due to be announced in the coming hours and his ability to run for a third term has been heavily critical likeand we are at the capitol and when do we expect the results to be announced .

And will he win a third term and carry another five years in office and supporters will be happy and will celebrate on the streets, the question is those who are not happy about this how they are going to react. That is what i wanted to ask you, the opposition says he simply doesnt have legitimacy and how tough will it make the presidency and what are they expected to do the opposition . People are concerned about the threat of possible violence. They know that during the evening things go wrong like gunfire and explosions that happen. Last night a woman with her four children were injured when a grenade was thrown in a house. This place here this market, is also netorious for violence and people throw grenades at women with vegetables and concerned about potential of violence and that said they understand life has to go on and they have to go out and try to make money but they are frustrated and are concerned there could be more violence and all they can do is wait, wait and try to learn a few things but hoping to hear very soon. Thank you very much.

Reporter this mother was a teacher in the capitol and says her husband left the refugee camp two weeks ago after a series of meetings with an unknown rebel group to fight in burundi and talking to husband us with identity hidden is dangerous but she says she just wants her husband back. Translator he hinted to me he was going to fight for the country and go bring peace but he wouldnt give me details and when he left he didnt even carry his phone or anything. Reporter we also talked to several young man who say they have been approached by recruiters and know refugees who left for weapons training. This is an issue discussed and many people are afraid to speak out and those who manage to talk to are already saying their lives are being threatened. The u. N.

Reporter according to refugees we talked to the mass recruitment in the days of the conflict in burundi has gone down but people like this woman who doesnt know where her husband is say they are worried.

The u. S. Had an uneasy relationship following the president ial elections and he was indicted by the International Criminal court accused of crimes against humanity. Those charges have now been dropped. Thats the reason why this president ial visit is going ahead. He will be asking obama for more assistance in his fight against alshabab. We have been working very close collaboration with american agencies in our fight against terror and im certain that that is an agenda that we shall further strengthen during this particular meeting. We will be asking his counterpart we need more more support and participation of u. S. And more presence of the u. S. And more training of special forces of u. S. So they can go in and do the work.

Reporter vetting iran from making Nuclear Weapons and the deal of u. S.

Secretary of state john ker roy told the Foreign Relations committee that wasnt true and asked them to embrace the deal. If they unilaterally reject what was in vienna the result will be the United States of america walking away from every one of the restrictions that we have achieved. Reporter but the anger largely from Senate Republicans couldnt be contained. I believe we have been fleeced. Bamboozled. And this has capitulated. Convince me this is not a big sharade.

Slip sliding away and losing the heat very very gradually and you can see we have a bit of mobility taking place and quite an active weather system coming from the west and that is going to come into fun and games in a day or so and running through the area of High Pressure so you think it will be a weak affair and quite nasty in places and temperatures are the key feature and austir temperatures should be 25 degrees in july and here we are up to 11 degrees above average. Those changes are now beginning to take place look at the temperatures across europe and this is 33 probably during the course of friday but then as we move into the weekend the cooler air starts to swing in and by the end of the weekend we look at hot air being there and the temperature of moscow coming up and kiev 36 and bukarest is 2 and the weather system will give quite nasty weather across parts of the baltic and low countries.

Reporter Energy Creation the German Government wants to see much more of. For the past three years Renewal Energy generation has increased, meeting a growing demand across the country. But if the demand is high so too is the cost of the consumer. Although German Energy bills are the largest in the eu some say support for renewables is strong. Drive among ordinary people because the larger share of investment for the Renewable Energy investment comes from private people and that is interesting to see on one hand. On the other hand some also complain because of high electricity prices. Reporter wind farms like these are a fundamental part of Angela Merkel and the power generateed by turbines like these in northern germany has tens of thousands of mega watts to the grid every year but most is consumed in southern germany. Getting ever more energy there is problematic and this is the valley area of general germany famed for its beautiful landscape and he has run a kayaking and canoeing center for years and says the clean air and postcard landscape are the main reasons people want to come here but a group of energy firms will install vast new power lines and cables across this area under a plan called zoodlink with pylons 60 meters high dwarfing those already installed and people in the community are deally lyly lyly deeply worried.

Top stories on the al jazeera news hour turkey says it has carried out air strikes on i. S. I. L. Targets inside syria and that the attacks are part of a comprehensive operation against the group. Police have also carried out raids across the country arresting over 200 suspects i. S. I. L. Members and kurdish activists, there are reports that burundi refugees in eastern rwanda are being recruited to join a rebel group and people in the camp told al jazeera that dozens of men have left the camp to join rebels fighting the government in burundi. And u. S. President offered to give support of alshabab on a visit to kenya and barack obama arrived in nairobi friday night and the first time to his fathers homeland since taking office. The turkish Prime Minister says today is just the beginning of a wider operation. Translator its out of the question for turkey to turn a blind eye to what is going on. We have met and put together an action plan. The operations which started this morning are not ad hoc operations. It marks the beginning of a period and as of today we will continue operations which we will widened broadly. The turkey correspondence and is live from ankora and im sure you heard your Prime Minister speaking just a short while ago and said the security operation is not one off but part of a comprehensive process and in your opinion what does that mean . What do you expect to see in turkey in terms of a widening security operation . Reporter early in the morning when turkey bombarded i. S. I. L. Targets in syria we were not sure the bombing activities were going to be sustained ones but the Prime Minister told a statement and we understand that turkey has shifted its previous policy of allegedly tolerating i. S. I. L. Activities inside turkey as well as turkey to syria to the one not tolerating it whatsoever to i. S. I. L. Activities via turkish territory and the internally just said before turkish bombardment of i. S. I. L. Targets in syria, 16s were reported in syrian air space. We understand that. When you say the turkish government has now shifted its policy, talk to me about the turks now allowing the u. S. Led coalition to use the turkish air base to bomb targets inside syria and what could the turkish governments, what could have been going on behind the scenes for the turks to allow this to happen now . None of the turkish or u. S. Officials have confirmed whether it will be used for bombardment but it seems that they can actively be used by antii. S. I. L. Coalition forces perhaps in the form of armed and everyday flight and attacking i. S. I. L. Targets. The turks had said that they would agree to the use of that air base if no fly zone was part of that deal thats what they were advocating for, so could this be whats going on right now . Yes you are right. Im not of the opinion that the coalition or u. S. Will agree for the setting up of a safe zone along the turkish borders but this is the turkish allowance of usage of injury for operational purposes and is the condition and link to the creation of a safe zone along the border however, these two events may not come military in other words, turkey may allow the use of this for operational purposes and in return turkey wants the u. S. To prevent Syrian Kurdish fighters or i. S. I. L. To capture an area between this a cross on the syrian side of the border because turkish and kurdish control of the whole border region with turkey still continues.

Unprecedented security measures across the country, thousands of troops have been deployed to secure tourist sites across the country and security has been tightnessed and also here in the capitol tunis but the government says we need more we need a very strong legislation and that gives us more powers to crack down on groups affiliated with the Islamic State of iraq and the levante and alqaeda and a government launching offensive in the mountains over the last three years against groups affiliated with alqaeda. They say also they have huge problems with tunisia people going to syria and iraq and being trained in libya and cannot cope with that on their own and we need two things and we need strong legislation but at the same time we need the International Community to commit more Financial Support and provide us with weapons to be able to lead the fight against these groups.

Economists say iraq needs to expand the private sector to encounter high unemployment and rising poverty rates but the problem now is much bigger than that. The fight against i. S. I. L. Is really costing iraq the budget over 23 of the overall budget of a hundred billion u. S. Dollar. It is an economic crisis it is a fiscal crisis the country is short of cash its not short of assets, but we have to manage and we have to make our priorities. Reporter last month the iraqi dnr dropped to its lowest level in ten years after the central bank tried to impose new taxes on imports and it recovered after the plan was dropped.

Nasas telescope discovered a planet described as earths closest cousin and its so closely resembling those on earth that Scientists Say it could support or even harbor life and gerald tan has more. It is older, only slightly bigger and warmer but so very similar to what we call home. Meet 452 b or what nasa is calling earth 2. 0. This is an artist rendition of a newlydiscovered planet, the closest match to erknown to date and one which circles the star much like our sun and 452 b is 60 larger than earth, our planet diameter 2742 kilometers and estimated this new rocky world is more than 20,000 kilometers in diameter. It takes 365 days for earth to orbit our sun, what we calculate as a year. One year on this new planet is just 20 days longer. The planet was detected by nasas powerful telescope launched into space six years ago in search of worlds beyond the solar system and identified thousands of potential exo planets and none as exciting as this one. We have been unbelievably surprised by the number of planets that we have found out there, not just that but the number of stars that actually host planets that are in the zone where water can be in a liquid state which we think is one to the fundamentals for life and this planet is in the perfect, its in the goldielocks zone. Is it fair to call 452 b a distant cousin . The keyword is distant and its 1400 light years away using a space craft today it would take roughly 25 million years to reach, gerald tan, al jazeera.
