Host good to have you with us. We begin with turkeys turkeys growing aggression against the Kurdish Military group, the pkk. Turkish planes have reportedly hit pkk targets in Northern Iraq including shelters, daves, and storage units. The bombings came after and it caves, and storage units. An estimated 200 kurdish fighters have died in airstrikes in recent days. Lets pull in our correspondent, dorian jones. He is on the story for us. What more do we know about these latest attacks against the kurds . Dorian they follow the killing of three kurdish soldiers in an ambush in turkey. They are backed up by turkish artillery targeting 100 20 targets. This follows a bombardment two days ago which involved 17 jets hitting targets in turkey and iraq. That number could be surpassed, as further attacks are expected to night. Fohe purpose of context, this and the Islamic State. There were 75 strikes against the pkk and only three against Islamic State. It doesppear the military is totally focused on the pkk. They are claiming success, saying they have killed 119 rebels and wounded 300. If that is true, that would put the pkk leadership under immense pressure and possibly lead to nationwide protest, like i october, which caused nationwide chaos in the country. The Turkish Military are expected to soon run out of targets. Then they face a choice. Do they resort to ground operations. That carries diplomatic, military, and Even Economic risks. Host what do you think this strategy could be . As you said, at some point they may run out of targets, but Islamic State is still the problem, and that problem is not going away. What could be the strategy beyond next week . Dorian that may be the deal among western allies, that to the Islamic State is the major threat to the region, but turkey does not see it that way. They even say the pkk is a bigger threat, more sophisticated. Host dorian joins us from his temple, thank you very much. In israel, six people from istanbul, thank you very much. In israel, six people were stabbed during a gay pride parade. The suspect has been convicted of a similar crime before. The procession was marching under heavy police security, then panic broke out. The attacker rushed into the crowd, stabbing indiscriminately. Security forces quickly overwhelmed him. Authorities say the alleged assailant is a member of the ultraorthodox community and a repeat offender. In 2005, he stabbed three people at the same event in jerusalem. He was released three weeks ago after serving time for that attack. Ultra orthodox have repeatedly taken to the streets to voice their opposition to gay pride. Personally, i think homophobia is rooted in this city, but i think that is the point of the parade, the march. We are trying to change that, and hopefully we will change that. It takes one man to create a scene like this. Hopefully, he is a minority. The other participants are defiant, vowing not to be intimidated. Host tonya cramer is in jerusalem. What more do we know about this attack, tonya . First of all, we understand that one of the victims, a young woman, is still in Critical Condition at this time, and five other people were wounded in the attack that happened in early evening in jerusalem. The attacker was a religious, ultraorthodox man. He attacked three people at a gay pride rally three years ago. This march was under heavy Police Protection, as always. He managed to injure six people. Host we understand that the suspect was just released from prison three weeks ago, serving time for doing what he is accused of doing today. What more do we know about the suspect . He did this in 2005. The pictures were shown very quickly because there was a lot of media and press. He was arrested on the spot, from what we can see. He apparently said, although he is in prison now and was taken and rearrested, of course, he said to the media reporting here that for him, this is against what god is saying. That he would not accept this kind of gay pride would happen in jerusalem. Host we know jerusalem can be a powder cake for gay pride events such as this. Do you get the sense that Police Protection at this event was not enough . Craigs i think the Police Protection was there. I can i think the Police Protection was there. There were other demonstrations from religious right wingers around this event. It seems this person tried several times to get within the march. Somehow, he was there, and he managed to stabbed and injure those people. There will be an investigation. We will wait to see what this will bring out. Host thank you very much. Now to the first possible clue into the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight 370. Despite a Massive International search, no trace has been found of the missing plane. The search was focused off the western coast of australia, but a piece of a wing has been found on the Indian Ocean Island every year in. We are talking about found on an Indian Ocean Island. We are talking about thousands of miles from the search area. Experts say it could be from the missing plane because of ocean currents. They may have carried the wreckage for thousands of kilometers. We are going to talk to an expert in just a moment about the currents, but first, more on the chance find that could help solve one of aviations greatest mysteries. Washed up on an island sure, this piece of plane begins a new chapter in what has been a horror story for many. Investigators say it is most likely from the type of aircraft flown by malaysian airlines. Authorities say it could be a major lead. Clearly, if this is wreckage from 370, it is an important breakthrough, particularly for families. Then we could have some sort of closure until they bring the whole aircraft back, and then i can give my husband the peace that he needs. And australian an Australian Team has led the search for the wreckage for more than a year now. Flight 370 was traveling from kuala lumpur to beijing when it disappeared. Until now, the search has focused on a part of the indian ocean 4000 kilometers from where the debris was found. Some experts say it is quite possible the wreckage could have made it that far. Finding this piece of debris is entirely consistent with the current patterns in the southern indian ocean to be originated from the area that they are doing the current search for the wreckage in the bottom of the ocean. If it is from the boeing 777, this wreckage could provide clues to the fate of those on board. Host we are joined by a next bert on ocean currents. Jonathan, thanks for joining us an expert on ocean currents. Jonathan, thanks for joining us. This piece was found thousands of miles from where we thought the plane crashed. Is it possible we have been looking in the wrong place all this time . Jonathan not necessarily. It is possible for debris to drift from the western side of australia all the way to india. The flow pattern is westward in this part of the indian ocean. Host so, we have the currents then that would explain why we have seen this piece of the wing washup. What about the barnacles, the sea life found on the wing . Is there anyway investigators could look at those barnacles and maybe find out where this piece of the wing may have come from . Jonathan it is possible. As an oceanographer, i can only speculate. Marine biologists will be able to identify and perhaps provide a better understanding of where these muscles possibly dwell or come from. This is entirely possible. Host definitely some new leads in the story, at least. Jonathan, thank you for joining us. The chinese dissident ai weiwei has arrived here in germany after his passport was returned to him last week. The artist has been offered a teaching position at a university right here in berlin. His plane landed in munich, and there was one person he was especially looking forward to seeing. Ai weiwei enjoying his first moments in years outside of china. I feel very nice. I have no plan now. I just want to meet my son. He lives in berlin. I want to see my boy. I havent seen him for a year. And then the reunion with the sixyearold boy. The Chinese Government began relaxing its stance on ai weiwei a year ago. He was able to open his first major solo show in beijing. On display was a more than four century old ming dynasty hall. As always, ai weiwei made political art, in this case referencing traditional chinese values. Four years ago, ai weiwei was among several dissidents taken into custody, shown here in a reenactment. His passport was taken away, and he was jailed for nearly three months. I felt desperate, hopeless, but without power, you still have joy. You still feel the effort is worth it. This is a replica of the prison cell where ai weiwei was held. In 2014, it became part of his exhibition in berlin. Also on display were 6000 stools left behind by chinese migrant workers, a powerful depiction of social upheaval in china. Berlin is very important to him. He has a studio here, which is a very important place. He received a lot of public support in germany while he was in jail. I think you could say that the public outcry contributed to him getting out of that terrible prison. Host we are going to take a break, one minute.

Venezuela, saudi arabia, and canada have the biggest reserves. Iran is in fourth position as far as the largest depositors in the world go. Russia is a couple places back, but is key to the eu.
