On little rock thank you so much for your Company Everyone we begin our broadcast in syria where Government Forces backed by russia and other allies are pushing to retake it live region the last major part of a. Rebel held territory in syria and home to some 3000000 people tens of thousands are fleeing the violence and heading to the Turkish Border well a turkish approach is present search of tired aerator one fears they will try to enter turkey which is already sheltering nearly 3700000. 00 syrians the largest refugee population in the world president on wars there will be consequences for europe if that happens. The syrian army has been subjecting rebel positions to sustained attacks president Bashar Al Assad wants to regain control of italy province tens of thousands of people have fled since fighting intensified many want to head north to safety in turkey. Turkish president heir to one says that more than 80000 people are on their way to his country. He warns that the situation is like the 2050 migration crisis. Well but the mom looked at john 67 if this violence against the people of it live does not end this number will rise further to pocono unique wash in this case turkey will not carry the burden of this migration all alone yes it did she cheated the negative effects of this pressure on us will be an issue felt by all European Countries especially greece has done over just about 3700000. 00 Syrian Refugees are already living in turkey in difficult conditions. But most have come to terms with their situation and see no other option. Its the same thing here we cant endure living through the bomb attacks we have no relatives left in syria was. Due to. Safety for the civilian population its just one of many problems the International Community has yet to solve last friday the Un Security Council could not even agree to an extension of the Program Russia and china blocked humanitarian assistance for the time being many Syrian Refugees move remained near the Turkish Border region. Well earlier i spoke with the multiverse and mid east to alice and managing director of the Security Consultancy firm plans for risk and i asked him if turkish president everyone was actually asking for help or threatening what could be a new influx of refugees coming to his country. President obama actually points to a severe problem thats emerging in the area and that is the an increase in the and the refugee migration thats a point that he has on the other hand of course we know without turkey president advantage has been in conflict with nato partners with the e. U. And with other geopolitical issues over some time so that is of course another bargaining chip that he happened earlier uses what he does have a point there i mean he alluded to in his speech that we just aired that Migrant Reception Centers in greece are already filled to capacity i mean that has been well documented can europe deal with another influx of refugees of that scale well thats going to be problematic in some European Countries since the domestic atmosphere towards. A refugee influx all welcoming you refugees is somehow somewhat divided so hostile or even hostile yeah so theres theres still this kind of welcome culture but on the other hand you have hostilities going on against refugees so thats going to create just add to the pressure thats already facing the european governments regarding about that issue. Lets talk about this country germany because of course back in 2015 when the crisis the migrant crisis as we call it here started this country received 1000000 about 1000000 people what is the readiness the willingness the preparedness of germany now to shelter or give refuge to people safe from from lip well and technical terms it is doable of course. The numbers enough itself there might appear big these are large numbers but technic the germany could receive more of those people but. The climate the overall opinion. And society has developed since 2015 so youve got much more criticism much more skepticism towards that so it requires a certain take that for example the leader of the green party has now tried by pointing out by using the subject in times of christmas to actually kind of appeal to the humanitarian sentiments but the Political Landscape is such that theyre not going to roll out the welcome mat i think thats going to be more difficult than 4 years ago mr walters east analyst a managing director of the Security Consultancy firm plan for us thank you for weighing in and.

I feel he did it i dont know whats happening to even but he may want to hes going to be relieved to know until i was. In clover the full day could. Actually. Its a wish that will hardly be fulfilled by this verdict for me yet the court did not even consider the crime to have been intentional another reason why 3 of the 11 defendants were acquitted among them the former saudi intelligence chief and the close confidence of the crown prince are just their attention now to boeing the aircraft companys chief executives in a small and work has resigned the beleaguered plane maker faced multiple set backs this year including scandals after 2 fatal crashes of boeing 737 max jetliner were regulars around the world ground at the plane and a later inquiry revealed major problems with Regulatory Oversight of the company and there will have lots more on this story coming up in our business segment in a moment with Kate Ferguson but now id like to tell you about some of the other stories making news around the world.
