A turkish prison in this video aired on twitter you jealous sang to supporters bunty expressed regrets for the many jailed journalists hes leaving behind in germany strike a secret deal to have him released. Hello and welcome to the program i marry in evanston and its good to have you with us. Day two the Munich Security Conference is underway here in germany leaders from around the world are meeting to discuss Global Security challenges with a focus this year on europe british Prime Minister to resign may used her address to stress the importance of maintaining strong ties between the u. K. And europe in a post brags that world transatlantic times during the trump era were also in the spotlight in speeches by the German Foreign minister and the u. S. National security advisor h. R. Mcmaster. Standing by for us in munich is mission to krishna our chief political editor. So the German Foreign minister is in my gob to get was the first leader to speak at this morning and he expressed concern about u. S. Foreign policy under the Trump Administration lets have a listen to what he had to say. Perhaps this explains why we germans are sometimes irritated when we look across the atlantic. That we no longer wish to recognize america these days. We measure america by by words by tweets. All right michelle was so the governor speaking there what kind of policy then does gum care want to see from the trumpet ministration. Before he went into back home and basically praised americas traditional role of also defending interests of its allies in europe now that is something the United States also general a master and weve heard here has recommitted to at the same time you criticize that there was a global architecture there is this not just perceived but actual withdrawal of the United States from many regions in the world and he said that others would move in quite specifically china would move in to broaden out its concept for the world singling out china of course. The only country that really has a long term vision and he basically criticised that neither the United States has this nor does the European Union also he back to the Iran Nuclear Deal once again which has been once again criticized by general mcmaster as something that is deeply flawed while this is seen something as something that is as a model really for resolving conflicts for the future so both sides are quite way apart on that issue at the same time weve heard the almost usual rhetoric here of recommitting to nato and to this alliance of defense and the other big topic of course was bragg said and british Prime Minister theresa may spoke earlier lets have a listen to what she had to say. The u. K. Is just as committed to your security in the future as we have been in the past europes security is security and that is why i have said and i say again today that the United Kingdom is conditionally committed to maintaining it. All right terry said mistaking their mission how was the british Prime Ministers case. For a new Security Partnership with the e. U. Greeted by the audience in munich. Already what she knocked out was seen as a given that was one of the first things that britain signaled is that security would be off the table when it comes to renegotiating its relationship to the European Union post rex it and what we really heard is home mopping out what would be lost if they couldnt be any agreement found that this Close Corporation is vital both for British Security interests also for European Security interests which raises the question why does she map it out if everybody is aware of it anyway well there is some kind of clue to that in a comment applies on food was asked about this later on the European Commission president said that he would certainly want to see a separation of Security Issues and other issues in those negotiations of a postbox agreement so some question marks at least more to be discussed all right michelle and i krishna reporting from the Munich Security Conference many thanks indeed. Now german turkish journalist dan as you jel has arrived back in germany after spending a year in a turkish prison news of his release came yesterday as six other of turkish journalists were jailed for life over alleged involvement in twenty sixteen the failed coup attempt in turkey german politicians have reacted with relief at the news but still faces charges of spreading terrorist propaganda in turkey. Touching down at butlins to go at port denis you child was once again on safe ground freedom at last after one long year in prison the german turkish journalist spoke his first public words in a video posted on twitter last night. I think everyone who supported me all here three hundred sixty seven days if i remember correctly my lawyers my people my friends from the president his campaign my family the German Government for its efforts and of course most of all my beloved. And it was his wife who was the first to embrace him outside the prison walls. Child was held in istanbuls high security syllabary jail with months in solitary confinement. The correspondent for devotes newspaper was detained a year ago on allegations of spreading terrorist propaganda. Until yesterday no formal charges have been brought against him nothing to explain why he was kept under the pretrial detention for more than a year or course. Judiciaries not independent at all now prosecutors are seeking up to eighteen Years Imprisonment for you child but they opted to free him ahead of a trial german diplomats escorted him from jail german chancellor Angela Merkel had pressed the childs release. Because pay for him and his wife all this in the system we know that there are also other cases of people perhaps less well known who remain in prison in turkey and we hope that that Legal Proceedings will also be resolved quickly so far. As you chose release was announced a court in the same building sentence six other journalists to life in prison without parole. Among them the prominent brothers mehmet and ahmed. Both accused of being involved in turkeys failed two thousand and sixteen coup attempt. Well for more im joined now by our correspondent in istanbul yulia han and here in the studio with me is the Political Correspondent nina has a thank you to both of you for joining me now nina id like to begin with you we know that dennis you jel was flown to berlin last night and a government airplane where is he now and what do we know about his condition well the last weve seen of him since his release is that video that was published on twitter on friday evening and since then we have only heard from his employer who tweeted on twitter please refrain from trying to ask. Is all we can tell you is that hes all fine and well considering that hes enjoying life and freedom all his release was apparently somewhat unexpected and it came after months of campaigning just how likely is it that there was some sort of deal made between the German Government and turkey to get him out while this is of course something that popped up straightaway and it is something that the German Government denied straightforward straight from the beginning from the announcement of his release they said there was no does he deal of course turkey and germany have very close ties because theyre both nato partners so there are lots of arms deals going on but then we mustnt forget that the current German Government is an acting one its an interim one so whether or not they have a new powers to offer turkey something in seoul is questionable and well probably only find out once we have a proper government hopefully in three weeks time well you know what about inside turkey itself how is you jones release being perceived there. Well let me answer this by showing you the front page of the newspaper which is one of the only left only opposition in newspapers left here in turkey they are covering this issue and there had line. Means in english there has been a bar again about the law implying that they dont think that there hasnt been any kind of a deal between the turkish and the German Government to get dinner as usual out of jail they also published the picture of dennis reuniting with his wife dee like the iconic photograph but on the other side you can see see here they also are showing pictures of turkish journalists who have been sentenced to life yesterday so the same day one journalist got his freedom back others got jailed for life which kind of gives you an impression about the Current Situation here in turkey and especially the situation for journalists we also know that you gels only legal or indio isnt over yet whats next for him. Well the state prosecution has finally published an indictment its not a very long one ive read it its just three pages long and the allegations there are all basically the same allegations that we heard over and over again hes accused of spreading terrorist propaganda and inciting hatred and they are referring mostly to his journalistic articles and interviews he did here as a correspondent for the newspaper and theyre all skiing for up to eighteen years jail time so theoretically he would have to appear in court here one day in turkey but the big question is of course is he willing to take the risk and come back here to turkey. Angelina we do know that you just case has been a major point of contention in germany and turkeys strained bilateral ties does his release signal a Foreign Relations was always seen as the first step thats what the German Government stressed when they announced his release as well that then as you joe have become Something Like a figurehead for all those people who are. Without charges and centrally the situation hasnt really changed at all and theres not we cant really say that was the sole in the relationship between turkey and me all right nina joining me here in berlin and you know in istanbul many thanks to you both.
