Siege of Afrin City Center will start rapidly in the coming days. I think that the problem this problem is that. Now they can stop they cant go back and. Bring. We begin in syria where at this hour the fight for our freedom has become all the more complicated there are reports that hundreds of prover seem fighters have arrived in the northern kurdish enclave to take a sound against a turkish led offensive in the region in fact reports say that shots have already been fired raising the specter of a deadly direct confrontation between turkey and the Syrian Regime turkey says that it will lay siege to the city in the coming days. Well we will ask a high ranking official from turkeys a k party about that in just a moment but first here is turkish president wretch of type air to want speaking on tuesday. Toward the evening today we determined that they were about ten pickup trucks full of shia militia coming towards. Then they were forced to turn back off the shelling this five has been closed for now. During christmas stations with the russian and iranian president s and these are issues we have already agreed on i said these kinds of terror organizations may take wrongful actions like this sometimes when they make their own decisions of course we cannot let them do that they will pay a high price. And joining us now from istanbul is her own arm a gun he is a high Ranking Member of president of type of ones a key a k party thanks so much for joining us this evening. Now we just heard president erika one describing the reinforcements damascus is sending to africa as ten pickup trucks of shia militia is he in denial about assads support for the wipe e. G. Well first of all i would like to like to correct the bird that was using your footage turkey isnt in the raiding syria turkey is doing its self defense and it is a given right to turkey at international at you an article fifty one because we have been we have been attacked from the Syrian Border over seven hundred times in last one year and that gives us why to self defense and clear the track that is threatening to people on our border so we but also membrane mr arm and on i mean this this is currently syrian territory isnt it. Are you saying that because you know you have had those and. Are you willing to go to war with syria right now. Like sarah i think i am trying to make it very clear that we are not in a war with a country we are just trying to nationalize a tread to our citizens and mortars and this is an International Zero right given to turkey as an in a part of International Law in two thousand and twelve we made we updated the rule of engagement in our syria border look we have over nine hundred kilometers border and then there was ice is there is there is the theory speak ikey n p y the in syria there is a civil war in this country and three Million People who came to our country and many more are coming and now when we are trying to neutralize the threat its not a painting a war to a country its just securing to people that actually philine fleeing to us and securing our border thats make it very clear we are very open that there is and we want to make it very clear for everyone we we are respecting the territorial unity of syria this is why we are the only country that is if fighting with all terrorist organizations in syria and let me give you one example that when we make the operation in. Or were hundred thousand people went back to syria for resettlement and this is more than many countries many European Countries a number of the accepted refugees i mean turkey is stabilizing syria. Its very clear especially from what youre saying and also the rhetoric that weve heard from from turkish leaders that you have committed to this offensive but ultimately now it seems as if as if the dynamics on the ground are changing with the involvement of these prover shion forces given that arent you worried that the russians assads allies that they might close the airspace over offering to Turkish Aircraft and how would that change your calculation we are being very clear on our position regarding when it comes to terrorist organization whether its isis or p. K. Kit and we shared our concerns and our position very clearly with russia the United States and other allies in the region including iran and syria and we made it very clear that will never allow any terrorist organization to to florists in our border if some local forces connected to redeem are supporting in helping this is a terrorist organizations and we would we would do what is necessary to be done to to naturalize it and weve been very clear on the but today with the president s speech as we have also seen that that we are in contact with president putin and we are sharing information with president rouhani and we are sure that the local forces may be on control local forces will be will be more careful when the are actually supporting a terrorist organization. Now president and one for his part i mean he says that Turkish Forces will lay siege to the city of affray why isnt turkey planning to take the city by assault. Well we are not we left i said we are not trying to take in city we just want to neutralize the threat that has been attacking Turkish Border in turkey seasons more than seven hundred times in the last twelve months i mean maybe our European Partners and allies dont know that but there is be a key and q i the in syria are the same organization that turkey is fighting over twenty years and let me make it really clear that. The the main branch of these is also a terrorist organization according to the top so we are actually defending need to voters in syria and we are doing this for a ship and i would like to my people to gerard loose your office fit operation areas when we cleared from isis be open to the legal. Settlement of the syrians now one of the best services of health is to the education or give it a leisurely are men serious from another other regions are coming to these arya be remitted very clear in the beginning when syrian war was starting no one can take three million refugees we v are hosting over three Million People in our country and the we think that the solution is creating security zones inside syria so people can stay in their own countries and we made it remote we made an example in your field should operation and this is in this operation we expect our allies come with us they treat us against this terrorist organization and create more security security zone and so people can go back to syria and id like to talk a little bit more about those alliances and also some of the terminology they have been using youve been youve been saying that theyre fighting against terrorist organizations are you referring there to the syrian kurds or grouping them with the p k k but ultimately we know that the groups that are there in syria the y. P. G. The p. Y. T. They are really seen as allies of the United States at least the United States is backing them in the fight against the socalled Islamic State are you concerned are you prepared for a potential backlash among your nato allies. We are not we are not fighting with syrian kurds youre fighting only the terrorists if you id and peak in syria indeed we have accepted over two hundred thousand syrian kurds who really are actually fleeing from ferries p k k there is purity and assad regime so if you were fighting with the with turkey would mean we wouldnt really accept that they are now used to living in turkey and they are eating for the day that the syria their own soldiers. So close to thirty three will be safe and they will go but so why were you fighting with thirty three to tell you why did you feel the attack in turkey for were to in the us two years ago secretary of defense. To carter he made it very clear that the n. P. T. Does seem to sort of innovations but they are using this organization to fight against isis now we would like to we would like to make it very clear that one terrorist organization is fighting another is terrorist organization doesnt give any legitimacy all terrorist organizations are the same and if you want a more stable syria if you want Syrian People go back to their country we should around all nor terrorist organizations to be strengthen our own armagh on high Ranking Member of president or to type heir to once a k party with thank you very much for joining us this evening with your view we appreciate it home. Here in germany the center left social democrats have launched a crucial inter internal vote on whether to enter a Second Coalition with Angela Merkels conservative members of the party have a little over a week to cast their ballots and the deal is deeply divided the as pretty as rank and file and its battle that has pitted the Party Establishment against its future leaders in some cases the divisions run through family. Father and son one for the grand coalition the other against at this s. P. D. Event in northern germany theres only one question on everyones minds should the party risk another coalition with anglo mccalls conservatives its up to Party Members to decide including fabby and stake now the critical young socialist and his father the veteran s. P. D. Man and takes the lead with the party roush taking or. Yeah i believe the majority of members will say yes if we convince them so we need to use the time ill try to do my part. Even save for his son fabio and most of the partys younger members its far from a done deal they want change. Thats clear to me if im able to see that we need to be more proactive in forward looking string quartets are ok but we need some heavy metal too and a political keyboard. At home with us staking is of course theres plenty of talk about politics the prospect of governing with angloamerican for another four years has triggered a number of arguments between father and son when this shift if the grand coalition doesnt happen and i think wed face a debacle in fresh elections itd be likely because everyone would blame us for pulling out. But fabby on stage now believes the party needs to have courage and refocus on its core values when the club where people say this is social democracy this is the kind of society we want this is our idea of humanity of social cohesion of solidarity in social justice. Things are certainly not harmonious in the s. P. D. Right now the rank and file is spit right across the party. Critical ill vote against the grand coalition quite simply because it would not be good for the s. P. D. This bullshit is pretty. Good in their fiftys you know ive been a member of this party for over forty years but if the majority refuses to appreciate the many things that weve achieved and the good cabinet posts with gained then ill be handing in my Party Membership. For. Voting is set to continue until march the second social Democrat Members will get to decide on the fate of germanys next government and the future of the countrys oldest political party. And i am joined now here in the studio by tim brett man who joined the s. P. D. Only last summer he is a member of a branch here in berlin welcome to the program tim glad to have you thank you for having me why did you join us today because i want to be part of the change and i was seeing like that the esprit de falling everythings very bad so i decide ok i can either be outside and just complain or i just start to be part of the political process and i mean things really fell actually you know in the election we know that they had that historic disappointment when it came to the vote losing a lot of ground to the s. P. D. In terms of support how are you going to vote when it comes to the grand coalition this is a really big vote thats coming up in the next week yes of course i will vote for no so very clear. I would vote against the. Coalition deal so i mean that really sets the country up then into uncharted territory because that would mean no grand coalition with Angela Merkels conservatives arent she worried what will happen to the asked if there are new elections this year. I dont think so because i dont im not quite sure if there will be new elections so theres another option. That minority rule for example so that this is a little says she wont do that she says that she doesnt want to minority government yeah but it would be the first time that she changed her mind right. Fair point very fair point tim i want to talk with you all of it more about the dynamics within the party itself because you know the youth of the s. P. Day they asked people to join the party just to vote no. If the vote is decided by those people we know twenty five thousand that thats about the number which have done so is that democratic in your view because you know is it democratic to join a party just to vote no and a ballot that then you know will probably leave again i think it is them critically because i think that most of the people who join the s. P. Do you know they will stay in the s. P. D. They dont come just for leaving a vote and then they leave like this ten euros for a vote or Something Like that so i dont think that they will leave i hope that they will stay and then its a big its a good deal for democracy in germany right because twenty five thousand people joined the democratic party. The presumptive head of your party she made a very passionate plea. For negotiation with Angela Merkels conservatives and we have to say that i mean your party got major concessions you got three of the most powerful ministries under your control isnt it irresponsible to leave that deal and walk away i wouldnt say so because from my point of view its not so much about whats in this Coalition Deal or which ministries we can get more its more about. The responsibility but responsibility as well but about. How believable the Party Leadership is so whatever they say so it might not be true so even if we have a great deal. Its its not of some fixed we cannot be sure of this will really happen so why should i say yes i cannot trust this leadership anymore i really feel that from you that you you feel as if you cant even trust people that are within your own party and that really leads me to the question because we see so many young people within the as that which are which are going up against the senior officials within the party is there a generational conflict right now in the s. P. D. And if so why do you think that that is happening thats a difficult question because i dont have numbers. That would be really. So well because i dont know if theres a general conflict so of course there are young people who are against the many young people do the usals which is the use organisation of the social democrats they are against the coalition but that does not necessarily mean that all young people and old people are standing against each other. Ultimately i mean the saying goes a house divided cannot stand youre right. Both within your party now with these divisions and also within the country dont you think that there needs to be more of an atmosphere of consensus building of working together because i mean if we just look internationally for example theres so much change in the world right now you know many of the world looking for to germany for leadership looking to germany for consistency are you putting the priorities of your party over the priorities of the country i think thats too easy because we need this party in this country. If we go in this coalition we will resist the existence of the party so in four years i dont want to stand on the street and explain to the people why they should vote for this party who i cannot believe myself in anymore. So i think thats much more dangerous ok and you have that ballot i think right here if you can just show us this is this is just to tell our viewers this is the ballot that s. P. D. Members have received and over the next week there are going to be voting yes or no as to whether or not to enter a coalition with angle americans conservatives and tim bragman thank you very much for joining us this evening to tell us about your vote we know it will be no way as it is for many young people within your party to and so thank you for joining us to share that view thank you very much. Well now down at the Berlin InternationalFilm Festival do you know because my skater and David Leavitts are standing by the lucky ones who get to watch all the movies and theres been a lot going on at the red carpet this evening hasnt there. As we just saw willem defoe arrive to receive his honorary golden bear for a Lifetime Achievement very exciting yeah and what a lifetime what a versatile actor you know we were talking to him earlier and he was telling us about some of the roles he played and how he wants to get as far away from his own normal life as possible playing some dastardly villains playing jesus what a versatile actor and what a great person to honor and you might know him from such films as the last temptation of christ or even the spiderman films and the early os but hes actually nominated for an oscar this year and so hes had an expansive career with lots of different sorts of roles and here lets take a look at that career. I got a videotape of the kids illegally entering with you to leave the room. In his most recent movie the florida project willem dafoe place Motel Manager bobby. Any money is a. Huge the performance could win him an oscar this year its his third oscar nomination after the war movie platoon and the nosferatu shadow off the vampire. Different place the character max check an actor who takes his role as vampire a bit too seriously. Gives us time and love to look at the dinosaurs about. The secrecy and great expense you will not damage this production. When im to phillis biggest blockbuster success came in two thousand and two a scientist turned villain green goblin and the marvel movies spiderman. You sat him down. And yet. To wear this to. Just show has proved more than once that hes a master of many roles. And what a career he has had and he isnt the only Hollywood Star that has been down there at the tell us a little bit more about todays big film. Well a little earlier we saw Joaquin Phoenix walk the red carpet he was here for his new movie directed by gus van sant its called dont worry he wont get far on foot this is quite a story its a true story actually its a dramatic comedy its about the cartoonist John Callahan who is originally from portland in the us and he is actually quadriplegic and this entire movie is about his struggle with alcoholism and his accident that made him paralyzed and his becoming a cartoonist through that its very heartfelt its very honest. And i thought i thought i thought the storytelling here was a little disjointed i have to be honest but i did think that the performances were stellar especially Joaquin Phoenix and some of the supporting characters jonah hill as hes a sponsor what a performance theyre not watching phoenix we saw earlier on the red carpet he was in an ok mood he was taking selfies with the fans earlier not so much he was definitely not in a good mood when we saw him at the press conference just after the screening of the movie and he is known as being very media shy but he actually turned his back on the press room when we were asking him questions and refused to answer one of our colleagues questions when she starts asking how he prepared her for the role so not not in a good mood earlier today at home but he seemed to perk up for the red carpet so hopefully hes having a good time to belly not only if we are. Ok at bums out down there though for politeness you should always be nice to the press. Meantime we know berlin all up easily obviously obviously the berlin wall is of course renowned for its gritty ads and yet i understand that youve actually been to see a musical today do i hear that right. Yes unfortunately this musical did not have any singing cats or mysterious phantoms and interesting themes it was it was quite a gritty as a musical as musicals go also quite experimental it was a four hour long film by the filipino director now this is actually quite short for him normally i should say two years ago he came with an eight hour film so we were glad that he cut it a little short for us this time heres a look at his musical season of the devil. You see i must. Have been boys you like about that. Song love and what not going to mean what you would have thought it was. So you saw young guy you know. Season of the devil picks up on a dark chapter in philippine history the Marcos Dictatorship in the one nine hundred seventy s. Militant groups oppress a village in the jungle causing its members to slowly turn against each other a toxic atmosphere where no one is saying. Youre. Independent filmmaker. So just the latest one to watch there at the berlin David Leavitts with the very latest from the red carpet to both of you thank you very much.
