And in the German Bundesliga the story of the minnows shaking things up at the very top of the Bundesliga Freiburg are in the top 4 and intent on staying. Im brian thomas thanks so much for joining us u. S. President donald trump says the United States could respond militarily to the attacks on Saudi ArabianOil Facilities to drone attacks hitting the facility the largest of its kind and the cross oil field thats the countrys 2nd biggest now washington has blamed iran President Trump tweeting there is reason to believe that we know the culprit we are locked and loaded depending on verification but are waiting to hear from the kingdom referring to saudi arabia iranian backed who the rebels based in. Yemen have claimed responsibility but the u. S. Is there is no evidence the attacks were launched from there. For his part irans president Hassan Rouhani had this to say. Americans instead of confessing that theyve presence in the region or. In syria in yemen and other areas he has been problematic they accuse the countries of the region. Now all over salad has this from washington about the discussion in the u. S. Capitol about how to respond to the attacks President Trumps twitter threat is causing confusion the pentagon reportedly urging restraint and observers actually believe the firing of hawkish security advisor john bolton would pave the way for a more conciliatory tone now President Trumps tweet retching up tensions with iran once again his plans of negotiating with irans president rouhani are becoming more unrealistic while a new war is clearly not in the president s interest it also becomes obvious that the u. S. Is lacking a strategy on the middle east and that puts both countries in a dangerous position. So how are the markets responding to the loss of 5 percent of global delhi Oil Production monica jones who did have your businesses here for more on that good morning monica prices spiking right away on the news whats it looking like right now east somewhat i think you mentioned it also ive just checked just before i came to the studio currently brant crude stands at 67. 00 a barrel still 10 percent higher than it was before the attack but its somewhat east and were not surprised of course that Oil Prices Spiked those attacks were hitting the worlds biggest Petroleum Processing facility and saudi arabia of course being the biggest oil exporter shipping more than 7000000. 00 barrels a day a knock out of 5 percent of global oil surprise crude supply is dramatic at least at 1st especially when consider that the facility will not be operational for weeks to come according to experts and this represents 50 percent of overall saudi Oil Production so so it is quite quite a blow and in the shows you know just how vulnerable our global oil once i connect is isnt it its all connected its not just vulnerable i think its very important to say that its very volatile let me just remind you that weve been talking for weeks and months about forwarding all prices in fact they were falling below 60. 00 a barrel in recent weeks to the point that only last week on thursday opec members came together and saudi arabia in particular demanded that everybody sticks to cutting output in order to keep prices somewhat ok especially after it seemed on wednesday last week when u. S. President on a trump sort of implied that he might ease sanctions on iran which would have boosted out put an obviously weigh on prices so were talking about a very volatile situation but not that dramatic get the situation in saudi arabia what happened is dramatic but when it comes to oil. Prices the peaks this year weve seen where 75. 00 a barrel when not there yet much much lower right now ok where are we were are we at right the 60 mark 6767. 00 a barrel barrel thats just what we having right now right now ok but what about consumers i mean when i drive up to the pump later today im im i dont it to feel this immediately i dont know if you can feel it immediately here in germany just yet of course whenever something happens with the Oil President ial itll hit the consumer but its quite interesting that i found out of all itll be the motorists on the u. S. West coast who who are most likely to feel it why because all facilities those that were attacked account for nearly half of all u. S. Croll crude imports from saudi arabia and california in particular relies very heavily on those imports due to lack of pipelines to connect them with oil rich texas so theres just this is a problem for you so the sun doesnt always shine you know and calaveras you hunter when it comes to problems like this monica thanks very much ok.

Leaders of Turkey Russia and iran are meeting in ankara today for talks concerning the last rebel stronghold in syria elop turkish president bunch of area one fears a syrian offensive there will send tens of thousands of new refugees towards his country in response he wants to set up what hes calling a safe zone for refugees inside syria is also threatening to quote open the floodgates as he put it and allow more refugees to start coming to europe once again. Turkish troops by warning shots and tear gas at the border with syria. Theyre trying to prevent syrian protesters from storming across the frontier. The demonstrators are demanding protection from an offensive by the Syrian Government on the last rebel stronghold of. 2 this is a warning that if nothing is done to help us then we are coming to turkey and europe a lump of our. This is added once fear that the destruction and the death in a clip will send tens of thousands more Syrian Refugees towards his country joining the nearly 4000000. 00 whove already fled the carnage he say says will have to match the consequences not just for turkey but for europe too it was the couple that are small children we will be forced to open the gates. Of little children that we will be forced to open the gates you know this if youre going to provide support then provide support if youre not sorry everyone sees this area in Northern Syria as one solution to any new refugee crisis. Turkish and american troops are already patrolling ahead of the establishment of whats being called a safe zone for the resettlement of up to 1000000 Syrian Refugees but everyone says the International Community and europe in particular and not offering enough support for the plan. He also accuses the e. U. Of failing to honor its commitments in a landmark 2016 refugee with turkey. The e. U. Offered ankara 6000000000 euros to stop the flow of migrants into europe in 2015 but added one says hes received barely half of the money europe says its willing to have a discussion with added one but greece which takes in most of the new arrivals says he must 1st change his tone. By the migration issue is a european matter it is not a bilateral issue and mr edwin must understand that he cannot threaten greece and europe in an attempt to secure more resources to handle the refugee issue in a love like it inevitably. But with more migrants reaching greek shores in august 29th teen minutes any other time in the last 3 years athens also knows the dissolution needs to be found. Ok lets get the very latest on this now dorian jones our correspondent in istanbul good morning dorian president area one was to prevent a new wave of a syrian migrants from entering turkey we saw he has a lot of reasons to do so in that report what does he need from the summit today to get that. Well i think hes looking for a sea sation of war airstrikes by the Syrian Regime forces particularly those targeting civilian areas which is causing this Mass Movement of refugees on top of that moscow will counter and say that the only people being targeted is what they say are terrorists who are not covered by the cease fire agreement that was hatched out last year now that the discussion between the 2 sides on who is a terrorist and who is not will be a key part of the discussions today on top of that turkey will be looking for a guarantees of safety for 12 of its military outposts in syria in the idiot province which are there to enforce a buffer zone between Syrian Regime forces and rebel forces one of those observation posts is now surrounded by Syrian Forces and others have come under fire tokyo looking for guarantees of safety for those Turkish Military forces during does it look like no one will be able to get around and russia to play along with that does he have any opportunity there to apply pressure on them or is there any hope that he can achieve that wehle turkey is find itself an increasingly difficult situation the the the forces of Syrian Forces are slowly advancing and there is a feeling that its only a matter of time before they overrun this last outpost of the syrian reach Syrian Rebels but turkey does have military forces in this italy province there is a fear that possibly they could be a clash between turkish and Syrian Forces now moscow iran will be looking to avoid that scenario turkey also has forces in other parts of syria so turkey does have some important leverage at the moment ok how is all of this been affecting the situation at the border the syrian push as you mentioned it mentioned in province. Well what were seeing is there is around 3 and a half 1000000 syrians who are trapped in this it live region many of them around half are believed to be people who have fled the fighting in other parts of syria and the belief is that the if this real area is finally overrun by Syrian Forces these people have nowhere to go but towards turkey there is already reports around half a 1000000 refugees are now building up on the Turkish Border according to the Turkish Red Crescent and the feeling is that if theyd leave does ultimately fall there will be a mass influx into turkey turkey is strengthening its border wall to prevent that but the feeling is if you have a 1000000 people trying to enter the country they will not be able to stop it and turkey will be facing a major influx and a humanitarian crisis ok if that comes to pass will air the one as he put it open the floodgates and let more refugees cross into europe well there is this feeling in ankara they have around 3 and a half 1000000 refugees Syrian Refugees in turkey there is growing fatigue in the country one poll said that 80 percent of turks want the syrians gone this is hurting one politically and also feeling the fear that they could be ultimately a social explosion in the country given the rising tensions growing economic problems so the feeling i would want to give to his European Partners is turkey cannot cope with any more refugees and europe has to take its responsibility if they dont then turkey will say has no responsibility to open its borders door in jones thanks very much for that from istanbul.
