Also peace accord is over he lays the blame squarely on israel and donald trump. Plus the bonus league over turns from its winter break rock bottom cologne face to crucial brian darby against atlanta well see who earned the bragging rights. Thanks for joining us im mary and i havent seen we begin in iraq where at least thirty eight people have been killed and more than one hundred others wounded in twin bombings in central baghdad Officials Say two suicide bombers detonated back to back explosions during rush hour in the cities where all the area has been targeted by similar blasts since two thousand and three theres been no claim of responsibility so far but this latest attack is similar to. That is bombings by the socalled Islamic State. For the latest on the story lets cross over now to Susannah George shes the if in the neighborhood where the attack occurred one of the people we spoke to at the scene of the attack said that he wasnt surprised that the attack occurred and it just shows that the Iraqi Government is only concerned with military victories against islam mixtape groups and not concerned with protecting its own civilians in civilian areas in baghdad so you have thats a normal kind of tension normal kind of anger that you see following these attacks which is one of the reasons why certain groups carry them out in the first place to stoke that anger and stability well clearly hurting as many civilians as possible was the goal of the bombs were detonated during rush hour at a very busy square why is this area of the city the scene of repeated attacks. This is an area of the city thats in the heart of central baghdad its near a lot of important government buildings theres a lot of commercial districts in that area and if you were to try to move explosives from outside baghdad into that area where the attack occurred you have to cross dozens of checkpoints so when insurgent groups carry out attacks are able to carry out attacks in these kinds of areas it really does erode its case in the governments ability to protect its own civilians and thats why seargent groups target these parts of the iraq capital when planning such large tax well its just been about a month since the Iraqi Government declared a victory over the islamist militants in the country was this declaration premature are we going to see a resurgence of the Islamic State in iraq. These are the inst mixtape group has maintained an insurgent presence in iraq for years even at the height of the groups territorial power when they controlled nearly a third of the iraqi country they still maintained an insurgent presence in baghdad and carried out these kinds of attacks so this isnt new but what it really does point to is the lasting presence of that insurgent arm of i asked so while theyve lost their territorial hold in iraq they maintain the ability to plan and then also carry out these rather sophisticated attacks in baghdad its important to mention that even when iraqi officials were trumpeting the military victory over i asked last month they were also warning that these kinds of attacks were expected and that these would likely be the next big issue that the Iraqi Security forces would have to deal with so this is not something thats catching people by surprise but it does come after a bit of a lull in violence and it gets a lot of iraqis were kind of hoping that the next few months would i would continue with that lull all right says anna george the Associated Press bureau chief reporting for us in baghdad many thanks indeed for that update now turkeys president retch of time of air to one says his armed forces are poised to launch an assault on u. S. Backed kurdish fighters in northwestern syria aired on also said the operation which is centered on the city of offerings it aims to quote purge terror from his countrys southern border all the areas controlled by u. S. Backed Kurdish Militia known as the y p j area one considers a terrorist Group Turkish troops are already stationed in rebel held territory on the outskirts of the city. Well for more on the story did obvious you know han joins us now from istanbul. You know good to see you so tell us why erica why is threatening to attack the why p. J. At this particular time. Well im missed out on has repeatedly made such threats in the past but this time indeed they do sound with very serious in fact hes also slamming and i think thats the reason hes slamming the usa and a us the Us Led Coalition against state in syria because washington has announced plans of establishing a thirty thousand Strong BorderSecurity Force along the Syrian Border with turkey and that troops would mainly consists of kurdish fighters kurdish fighters the turkish government considers terrorists so addon had really harsh words i quote him a country we consider an ally and he means the us is insisting on forming a terrorist army on our borders and our mission it is to strangle this army before it is even born so this is really a military threat by the turkish side to what specifically towards these plans by washing by the u. S. All right so the wind p. G. Is only going to be a part of this thirty thousand strong force and the y. P. She has been one of the u. S. s closest allies in syria would an attack by Turkish Military forces lead to a further deterioration in ties between turkey and the us. Yes i do think so i mean turkey and the u. S. Are of course nato allies but they have very different strategic goals especially when it comes to the role of the y p g militia as you rightly mentioned the u. S. Considers the y. P. G. And essential if not the most important proxy in its war against Islamic State jihad inside syria while taki on the other hand thinks the why peachey is a terrorist organization with links to the turkey based p k k the Kurdistan Workers Party that is fighting for independence and fighting the turkish army inside turkey so this is a very huge conflict i do not see any solution to this conflict so yes this is going to cause definitely much more tension. To you leon reporting for us from istanbul thank you.

Now palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas says israel is to blame for allegedly jeopardizing the landmark also peace accord the greenman it was signed in one thousand nine hundred three at a ceremony with u. S. President bill clinton the attack rabin and Yasser Arafat in rubble on sunday abbas rejected the United States as a mediator but he shied away from completely abandoning a two state solution abbas also had harsh words for u. S. President donald trump who said he would achieve the peace deal of the century between israel and the palestinians. Even though its a trump theres no we will not accept his project. Told him the deal of the century is the slap of the century and we will retaliate. For. Well for more im joined in the studio now by shiny rosana shes the middle east expert based in berlin shani thanks so much for joining us so some very harsh words from Mahmoud Abbas hes calling the also a corps into question hes now rejecting the United States completely as a mediator is the mideast Peace Process essentially dead well in many ways you can say yes and you can also see that say that. As trump was giving his. Announcement about jerusalem he said hes just stating the obvious is just acknowledging reality and in many ways abbas is doing the same now acknowledging reality that Peace Process is dead for quite some time i mean officially its still always on the table but nothing has been done for many years now so its not like hes cutting now and its any immediate or or actual efforts that are being made and you know this is all about future prospects of things that have been talked about for so long but nothing really has been done for so long well abbas puts the blame squarely on israel and the United States is he right well you know we have to take this specific speech into context of. A leader at the end of his of his time you know hes a hes going to turn eighty three in two months hes he knows you understand hes at the end of his rope with his back to the wall he doesnt have much to show for his legacy what hes done so far he doesnt have much going for the palestinians hes very desperate this is a very desperate call the leader who was this was over so very emotional speech for him he was going off from off his text for several times being so passionate but very much tragically also pointing out hes got not much other than with oryx this is the only weapon hes still got left all these really government has responded to this theyre saying that abbas has now chosen confrontation over negotiation but is the israeli side proposing serious negotiation you know as i just mentioned earlier theres nothing concrete happening in the netanyahu him self keeps saying he is proposing is willing to go for negotiations only when there is no preconditions if the passings are also willing to acknowledge the israeli state as an independent state the right for existence this is of course not not where the palestinians are also going to remember when we talk about peace talks when we talk about besting as were talking about a divided nation and were talking about fatah were talking west bank were talking gaza theres still so much going on. In the Palestinian Authority to solve and figure out before really go she can make Real Progress alright but where will abbas go from here he had this fiery speech and theyre supposed to unveil a strategy later today what kind of concrete measures can we expect well what the palestinians are in for is finding another mediator somebody to step in to the american shoes probably france he was also hinting in his speech against other arab countries mostly in you know hinting to egypt and saudi arabia who are not by accident of the United States what to palestinians want is a different framework that is built by the International Community community and has more neutrality as they want to see it this is probably what were going to see a dnd of this conference of the of the day these are the resolutions are heading at im not sure how much chance this new framework has but this is what they want. The rose honest middle east expert many thanks indeed for sharing your insights with us today. Now russias foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has lashed out at the United States accusing washington of issuing ultimatums and ignoring the views of other World Leaders lover of made the comment that its annual press conference in moscow he said threats coming from washington and twenty seven thousand had seriously aggravated tensions in different parts of the world including in north korea and iran lavrov said moscow would not support u. S. Attempts to modify the landmark nuclear deal with tehran. These latest announcements are intended to sabotage the implementation of the comprehensive joint action plan on Irans Nuclear program but they also give no reason to be optimistic about stability. But unfortunately now our american colleagues and their allies aim to do business on the basis of pressure and ultimatums. They do not want to listen to other Global Political centers opinions. And means they do refuse to accept the reality of the multipolar world that is taking shape. While the days may be numbered for the Worlds Largest passenger aircraft and been flew zylon is here to tell us more about that than whats going on the european aircraft Consortium Says its on the verge of ending production of its a three eighty three eighty super jumbo a massive aircraft can see five hundred passengers and was supposed to revolutionize air travel but its a significant cost. Emirates is not ordering enough planes to justify production. What was hoped to be the companys biggest success is turning into a disappointing defeat with just over three hundred planes sold and few on order airbus says it will stop making the a three eighty super jumbo if it doesnt get more business from top client emirates which is now buying planes from boeing says that the dubai based airline is key for its business theyre probably the only one who has the ability right now in the marketplace to take a minimum of six a year for a period of eight to ten years and then we can add some on top of that so quite honestly we cant work out a deal with emirates i think there is no choice but to shut down the program but im hopeful that well work out a deal with emirates and others can add airplanes on top of that some hold three mains apparently but the revolution will have to wait.

Lets get some an analysis from this side of the about it with then to cope our financial correspondent in frankfurt daniel how popular german cars in the u. S. Especially after the dirty jeans all scandal. Well actually this is not very easy to answer and i think you have to look at this from two different angles band because on the one hand yes german cars made in germany german engineering all that is still very much appreciated in the United States whoever thinks that they have enough money and they want to show off they would probably go for a german car and remember donald trump just saying last year that hes pretty much upset that he sees so many european so many german cars on the american roads rather when he is here in europe he hardly sees any kind of marrying american car but on the other hand you also have to say that the diesel gate scandal was really also hurting lots of german Car Companies in the United States just when you look also at december of last year Sales Numbers there are still dropping so many investors are thinking that two thousand and eighteen even though the companies have recovered from the diesel gate scandal its still going to be a rather bumpy year for them and heres Something Interesting those tax cuts for the u. S. Weve been talking about over the past weeks could actually boost european manufacturers. Yeah thats a story that was also discussed here among investors today because there are some reports that those could actually at the end help european Car Companies which again donald trump is not going to make happy were hearing that there could be a boost of about four percent another interesting figure also donald trump always promised that he would create new jobs with the car industry those half not happen analysts think that with the tax reform this now could happen lets see whats going to happen at the end.
