Transcripts For DW The Day 20240713

Also coming up with the american football quarterback Colin Kaepernick his performance on the field has never been questioned his kneeling on the field well that kept him out of work is that about to change. I know that hes better than so many other of these quarterback that are in the way. Of the n. F. L. Can get past the south a little better. Be on the right side of things. Going to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with turkish president to one receiving a warm welcome at the white house getting the Cold Shoulder from the rest of washington these are tough times for the u. S. Turkish relationship from nato to our media from syria to russia there are fundamental disagreements that threaten to pull both countries in opposite directions add to that public impeachment hearings in washington and you wouldnt expect president drunk to roll out the welcome mat now if the president ever won but that is exactly what he did and while it may not have been a disaster the visit was all crude and uncomfortable for the turks and the americans a members of congress did not play poker face with mr erda one in a closed door meeting at the white house a Heated Exchange reportedly took place over turkeys assault on the kurds and over turkeys denial of the Armenian Genocide President Trump yesterday tried to tell reporters that all is well between the 2 native allies despite turkeys invasion into kurdish controlled Northern Syria last month. And i will say that weve had a great relationship with the kurds and we fought with them burrs successfully against isis we have a great relationship with the kurds we have had were with them now we get along with them and by the way i think the president he may have some factions within the kurds but i think the president has a great relationship with the kurds. And we have to distinguish between 2 things we have no problems with the kurds we have problems with terrorist organizations and there are some terrorists among the kurds and who are they p y d n y p g theyre offshoots of the terrorist organization p k k the Kurdistan Workers Party does have it didnt its we have coverage tonight from washington and is stamboul the problem for the alias is with us from the u. S. Capitol and yulia hahn from turkeys largest city to both of you good evening public me start with you the timing of this meeting it seemed well it could have been better was the focus of an impeachment hearing just the street and aired of one roundly criticized by the west for invading Northern Syria i mean it is pretty bad. You said it brant the timing definitely could have been better for President Trump of course the impeachment hearing just literally oped the street from the white house was taking place and as you can imagine most of the journalists who were there in the white house were eager to get some sort of reaction from President Trump but he says he was actually too busy to watch the proceedings and he focused instead on of course that meeting which was taking place or had taken place with his turkish counterpart president of the one we also conference at that actually many had been asking from both the republicans and the democrats for president trying to rescind this invite to president of the one over concerns with regarding at turkeys treatment of the you know the u. S. Has long standing at kurdish allies in syria and also of this you know anti Missile System that turkey from russia and also at the crackdown from turkey on opposition figures but president continued with the meeting as we saw essentially ignored what was being asked of him from members of you know the republicans and democrats who will probably get your take on what happened in the oval Office Yesterday you know we had trump there to one and a bunch of us senators who feel very differently about mr elder one truong seems to feel how did that. Well 1st and foremost i think its important to stress that thats this is not something that we often see in fact its pretty unusual brant as you know to invite me in this case 5 republican senators to a meeting of this level now among them was actually one of President Trump you know a close allies thats Lindsey Graham a senator and he was there because of course they along with members of the Republican Party and the democrats have been very critical of turkeys purchase of this Weapon System from russia and also like i said before you know the treatment of the kurds by turkey in particular in syria and of course they were pretty outspoken in many respects against President Trump in the past few months and also of that you know turkeys policies in general now what was quite interesting is what we heard with regards to president out of line taking out an ad and showing at whats being described as a propaganda video showing whats been said is turkey kurdish terrorist attacks didnt go down well in particular with Lindsey Graham who was very vocal you know and like i said before an ally of a close ally of President Trump but whats quite interesting again is that today weve heard from Lindsey Graham you mentioned that earlier hes actually you have blocked a resolution that you know formally recognizes that the Armenian Genocide which was one of the issues had really angered the president of the one so its been a very interesting 24 hours you can see that again what about from where youre sitting right now i mean how did this oval office visit play there in turkey or if there were people there talking about the video that mr. Well what donald trump and others got to see there in that video is basically the dominant narrative here in turkey that the kurdish fighters that in syria are terrorists and that the u. S. Is betraying its ally turkey by supporting the terrorism that narrative is repeated being repeated over and over again by media that are overwhelmingly progovernment that so thats what brady many people here in turkey if not most of the people do think so not many thought it was where that ad and showed trump that video they even thought it was it was great that he did well upon his return from washington to add one today this visit basically as a success he said i quote him trying to make sincere efforts based on mutual trust and nothing really substantial came out of these meetings but maybe thats not what mattis right now the message really is that donald trump rolled out the red carpet to prison edwin just weeks after he started his military incursion into north and syria an incursion that has been widely criticized not only in the u. S. And what about this tight rope that mr everyone seems to be walking right now we do turkey is of course a member of nato was an l. Y. Of the United States but the same time it seems to be cozying up more and more with russia hows that being portrayed. Well you met many critics say that turkey is not exactly behaving like a nato ally right now and thats because thats what pablo mentioned before. The russian made s. 400 Missile Defense system the 1st part of that system was delivered in summer and has not been made over racial yet and apparently trump to add one not to activate best system at all and today rejected that proposal and said i quote him its an infringement of solver right so he says hes not going to let the russians down but at the same time he still holds out the option of buying us a power treated defenses so it seems like everyone is trying to see how far he can take this i mean in the end so far he avoided u. S. Sanctions over buying this russian made to system yet so far hes avoided the sanctions. Lawmakers in washington there are what theyre thinking about these sanctions arent there because they dont want what theyre seeing you do they this relationship between the wall and blood to be a pollutant. Youre absolutely right on it and its quite stark difference because lets not forget and we actually heard it there you know present from some very kind words to say for president out of line actually at one point he said he was a big fan of president and the one that did not go down very well at all here at like i said before republicans and democrats are feeling very onesie about that and you know you he has been mentioning there this purchase as well of the turkey you know turkey you know from russia s 400 Missile Defense system which you know president tom said was a very serious challenge but you know you he also said it didnt it didnt seem like anything was really resolved in this meeting that took place here in washington and that congress does want to sanction out of the one and you know many members of the press and members of it you know think tanks and so on have been very critical of those policies towards the kurds but once again no sanctions mean appear to have really materialized and this you know despite the fact that the White House National security adviser Robert Obrien reiterated that you know there was a real threat and this was a real threat to the United States and its causing a lot of unease here once again President Trump you know just how very kind words to say for the president at the once so for the moment doesnt seem to be any sanctions on the way and youll see before we remember a time a b. And a major focus of the moment is turkeys handling of not only a massive number of Syrian Refugees but also these former fighters from socalled Islamic State is heir to one do you see him trying to weaponize this situation. Well that might turn into a major problem for europe in particular and yes many are afraid he might use these suspected isis militants to accept pressure on the euro like he has repeatedly threatened to set to open the gates and send Syrian Refugees to europe whenever he is unhappy about something the European Union does and the numbers are really huge at owen says he holds currently more than a 1000 isis suspects in turkish jail 700 of them about 700. 00 of them offering and nationals and thats just the people here inside turkey there are thousands more currently in kurdish camps in the north of syria and are now shares the responsibility of dealing with these people and he just started this week of just sending them back to European Countries and many of these countries do not want to take these people back others including germany some people were sent to germany today seem to be unprepared and edwin knows all of this he knows how to make european governments very uncomfortable yet that he definitely does a correspondence really haunted stamboul in public legally else in washington to both of you thank you. Israel says a series of rockets have been fired from gaza despite a cease fire that was agreed to earlier with the militant Palestinian Group Islamic Jihad the last few days had seen the heaviest fighting in months along the gaza border 34 palestinians died in israeli strikes on gaza.

Is it an olive branch for a once shunned american football star or just a Public Relations stunt quarterback Collin Kaepernick will all dition for n. F. L. Teams on saturday but the trial leaves many questions unanswered like why now and who will actually be there to watch 3 years ago kaepernick started kneeling during the Pregame National Anthem to call attention to Racial Injustice sparking a backlash in the United States kaepernick couldnt find a job after that season and later filed a grievance against the n. F. L. And its owners accusing them of colluding to keep him out earlier this year the 32 year old and the n. F. L. Reached a settlement every. So whats going on to help answer that question and more im joined at the big table now on my colleague Chris Harrington from beat abuse boards chris good to see you this impromptu work ls. Called by the n. F. L. Whats the n. F. L. What to with this it doesnt smell right brained it doesnt smell right at all 1st off the short term notice kaffir nick in his advisors only had a 2 hour window to accept the offer by the n. F. L. The day its taking place on a saturday typically quarterbacks in captain exposition trying out for teams free agent trials with teams are conducted on tuesdays after teams have played the n. F. L. Kicks off on sundays this is an open trial for 32 teams to come not sometimes have said theyre not coming we dont know exactly what kind of representation the teams will bring to the tryout you know but for a number of reasons and still the details of the trial itself we have no idea what hell be doing in the n. F. L. At last reports havent even decided on what kind of throwing regime in quarterback passes hell have to conduct you know along with the type of workout it is but we do know its a combine style workout which ill touch on what we know and he has been basically out of the job for what 3 years now right but he says despite that hes kept himself game ready. As. Without being in the game thats pretty tough to do hes been conducting workouts hes been very proud hes been you know for a continual basis waking up at 5 oclock in the morning you know posting his social media workouts throwing quarterback passes and so on he actually went to twitter and heres a tweet now im just getting word from my representatives the n. F. L. League reached out for a workout in atlanta on saturday ive been in shape and ready for this for 3 years i cant wait to see head coach is a g. M. Thats the kicker right there the head coaches and g. M. s unlikely to be there the combine style workout bring it what it is is basically reserved for players that are about 2223 years old that have yet to play in the n. F. L. And we know that hes not 20 already and so years old if hes going to get those same measurements you know youre comparing the times because basically its a series of running you know a lot of drills you know fitness tests basically to see you know how good his body he has stayed in shape over the his hiatus you know but. The short term situation all that all this together is it seems like potentially its a set up for failure well remind us how did he get to this point i mean hes had a fall from grace significantly and one point you know he was celebrated as the 40 niners signal caller led them to a super bowl did very well they lost a super bowl you know you know but he was nailing asked a question about after why reporters and know why he was needed he addressed the issue saying that it was you know to bring attention to the social injustice and he cited one example saying a lot of africanamericans have been gunned down by Police Police have not been held accountable well court of Public Opinion associated him nailing during the National Anthem is being unpatriotic and thats when President Trump chimed day and during this you know time but you know now trump has come out and said well if hes good enough maybe he. He gets a shot to play you know but thats when things went downhill from college capron he did the nike ad and so forth and became you know really the poster child for social injustice you know what i mean cause thats what people remember now when you say his name they think of the nike. Let me ask you about music icon jay z. Yes so he recently signed an intertainment deal with. Commissioner Roger Goodell was he involved in any of this what were seeing happen this week yet thats what some reports are saying jay z. Is also now not only just you know overseeing the management of the music but hes also revamping inspired change its the social arm of the n. F. L. And this has jay z. Written all over it for what when the announcement was made in the interview was may we with Roger Goodell he basically made the statement we are past kneeling which outraged a lot of column capper nick supporters or you know he received a lot of backlash for that and for all we know this was in the works for quite some time you know its interesting whats been coming out the narrative it makes it very clear the college caprona camp and the n. F. L. Cant even agree on the agreement but it looks like this is coming to fruition with jay z. Because it was reported the settlement that he did sign it so this was not part of the settlement that was already reported so the only thing that that you can connect. Well he was in the to be in that settlement maybe he agreed to that settlement to never take in the again or to never imagine it again so at the end of the day are we looking at a situation where this could be a win win for the n. F. L. And a lose lose for Going Company well the win win for the n. F. L. Its definitely good for p r you know one of colic happening former players eric reed whos still active in the n. F. L. He still kneels during the anthem hes come out publicly say it is a p. R. Stunt you know so that way the n. F. L. Can always cover themselves and say we gave him a shot hes been bragging that hes been ready its put up or shut up and he wasnt ready but collin capper nick i think the measuring stick is so difficult if hes mean compared to what Spring Chickens do in terms of assessments and all of the physical drills hell have to go through but if he does shock and awe a scout maybe we do see him want to team. That old man and chris we have to say i say 32 and last but not least he has a figurative the end literally show up we havent had final confirmation i mean i think well at the way until saturday but you know what was that happened on saturday yes definitely Chris Harrington as always chris we presented thank you ok. Well before we leave you tonight we want to take you to south asia and the story of a National Hero in india a most stuff Fighter Pilot was shot down in pakistan in february during a standoff over the kashmir region the Pakistani Air force has just opened an exhibition featuring a wax figure of the indian Wing Commander and eyed him from his captured plane pakistanis they are flocking to the gallery.

The exhibition also features debris of the downed indian fighter jet a reminder that the incident at the heart of it was serious following a Suicide Attack in Indian Kashmir india and pakistan conducted tit for tat airstrikes in each others territory in february and analysts raise the alarm that the skirmish could turn into an all out war but i doubt tensions come to when pakistan freed about a man from captivity and handed him back to india but the hype around the pilot didnt die down. Neither did the nationalist feather that his capture had fueled on both sides of the. I. Was at the exhibition many of his it is a feeling as patriotic as ever.
