A short period of time until research seated in sort of good order and through that process. The most young people who tried to come to europe and germany really had reason to flee their own countries and in the process in. More and more young people did not come because they had to flee but because they read wanted to come to europe and to germany and especially to enjoy the opportunities. That have risen in germany for a long period of time. We had one of these processes in the sixtys and early seventys mainly the sixtys when a couple of when about two to three Million Immigrants if you want to call it that way from turkey from italy and spain but then from turkey came into germany because we needed to. This time it is not an invitation to young people to come to germany but there was a resistance and there is a resistance within the population to have for immigration germany because people who are worried and this is one of the issues that if t. Is playing on that the National Character of germany might be changed to some way but mr been called i would agree with you that the a. B. C. Is perhaps exploiting this issue too much but dont you think that part of the reason why they have been allowed to exploit it is also that the government hasnt had. A full discussion and open discussion of basic stream lee touchy subject because its not just a moral issue as chancellor merkel likes to present it its also a social issue its an issue about how your country is going to look like for decades and decades and i when i say look like i dont mean the ethnic aspect of it but its a serious decision and its a serious policy change dont you think that that issue perhaps should have been discussed a little bit morbid this society so that people wouldnt feel that migrants are being forced on them ever since the first measure of our going to america we are discussing it its not that people are not as just that thats maybe an impression in mosco but theres a very broad debate which has now subsided because increasing part of the population is understanding that is a new phenomenon and as social problem and social question is usually have a condom our own content so you cannot sit separate social and moral bases small issues well mr been called we have to take a short break now but well be back in just a few moments stay tuned. For. That. Server i want to do it just show you very soon we will be very clear go away go poof. Man i mean. Im a young they they when they have them they have the little. Skinny yeah they feel theres really. Something im them what do you have at the bahamas a look at what do you look local just and do you wonder. If the soon going back to mexico mean that within theres just across the continent like you. Are. Welcome back to worlds apart but the Board Meeting called for a better and german politician and former Prime Minister all six and he must have been called just before the break we were talking about lead a ship and Angela Merkel has been in power for quiet a long time almost as long as large an absolute and now one of the benefits of staying in power for so long is obviously the experience but on the other hand there are multiple studies suggesting that when people stay in power for that long their perception of reality changes in many important ways youve been a Political Animal for most of the alive how long is too long for a head of state. Who has no head. Has now three terms three terms. If i would have asked her if she would have asked me i would say be very careful was trying to get a force one the same problem arose was. Cool and the the force he had was only. Excepted because he heads to two different blocks of terms. Chancer and decided in a divided germany and chancellor in a united germany but if i were to. Able to reform our constitution on that issue i would look very much to countries that have limited the election of person or of individual to the top government position like in the United States where just one reelection is possible you can also have two maria lections but if you have a limitation then the government is almost forced by the situation to think about the continuation through electing. People in the next term. You have more mobility now Angela Merkel and put in may have very different personalities but the political trajectories do you have certain overlaps both have been in power for quite some time and both now deal with the countrys. Going press following changes in germany if the reintegration off migrants in russia its economic and hopefully political reforms do you think established leaders like that can change with the times in politics can you teach an all dog knew that they dont change they have a political leader that has been in office a very long time usually feels that he has done everything well so he could continue. And hes not very receptive to the idea that not the leader but the general condition has changed much should change in response to the change in society you know that ties between russia and germany have ever very long and perhaps a very complicated history and they certainly a big hit in two thousand and fourteen after the events in crimea and more broadly in ukraine do you think we will still see any improvement between our countries while i. Lied to put in for that matter are in office so will we have to wait for somebody to replace them to a certain extent both countries are interested and should be interested in relations. To have two or three objectives the most objective is to maintain peace. Jobless of conflicts may arise the second issue is. Exchange and Technological Exchange but is specially trade trading between there is a lot of trade third there is and must should be an offer to understand the differences. Has have always been the relationship between russia and germany we have different histories way beyond back we have different philosophies we have different attitudes towards government and we have differences too. In the extent of participation of the population in government issues so we should learn why this is so and we should understand now you mentioned the issue of trade and i know that you come from east germany just last month we had leaders from five lands and is germany coming out with a statement saying that they are opposed sanctions against russia because they view them as both inefficient and unfair that point was that is germany is paying a much higher price for those sanctions than west germany do you think they have a point and do you think that voices are heard in berlin well i dont think you should put too much emphasis on these statements do have certain sanctions and we have considered them well and it is very difficult and of course vice versa would also russia would also try to influence the behavior of germany and say restraint in trade and. Commute forms of communication. Im not a very good friend of sanctions but there are always some issues that one or the other country is trying by rate of sanctions to change the attitude of the other party. And i dont think you can do it wave as to the size of germany german states in terms of population all of them the five of them have as much population the same size of bavaria. So that the five important but they certainly do not form. Germany. So european. Activities and trade feel now you mentioned the sanctions one of the purposes of sanctions is that to change the behavior most of the german sanctions originate in russia perceived behavior in crimea americal believes the borders should not be changed and perhaps i think on some level even though i didnt put in the will agree with her on that but the im sure you understand that for russia in crimea it was not only a matter of principle it was a matter of Strategic Security the expansion of nato the possibility of losing the the base in the black sea and those when you deal with Strategic Security its very difficult to uphold principles even if you agree with that do you think russia could have played any other way alternatively do you think that russia is likely to. Repeat what has happened in crimea. This is a very difficult question that i would have to say youre followed because it reaches far beyond the issue of of sanctions that we have chests discussed. Sanctions could be could be justified im just. As a business reservation in relationship to. The developments in ukraine or another border states. And as in the feeling of your or not germany alone of europe the development in. Your career in your crane is considered to be unfortunate and now the only the only way to end to put this. To put this to russia is not just simply arguing but also. By. Introducing. Corporations or. So solutions of conflict in this field so far we havent been very successful. That well you know that the crimean issue at least for russia is closely linked to. Its is for expansion which traces its roots back to german reunification and the promises. That vera made to moscow back down and were not necessarily saying is no kind of promises have made that was not prepared were not carried through while it is believed at least if this is an opinion in moscow. Russia was promised that nato will not expand to the east following the reunification of germany. Has not expended towards. Unless countries in the east as to be permitted to join. Nato as such has not expanded well i think that mr gorbachev there for the last president and the first president of the soviet union even in his memoirs stated quite clearly that this is not how it was perceived at least in russia many perceive that there was an explicit promise that nato would not keep moving towards russian borders and maybe that has been a misunderstanding but rather than arguing about that i want to ask you whether you believe germany has any special overall in solving the issue here in ukraine in helping Russia Ukraine others to come to certain accommodation or whether you believe this is just a European Security issue that has to be handled by all well. I dont think in this particular case since one of the basic. And dominating purposes of the European Union is to keep the peace thats from thats from where the union idea started after the Second World War and so if there is the route to rid the relationship to your crane if there are these differences basic differences developed having developed in the eastern thought. It is a european issue and germany is acting was in this european understanding we have no special nose we dont see we have special responsibility here the european responsibility is the governing idea mr been called free have to leave it there i really appreciate you being on the show today on to our viewers please keep the conversation going in our social media pages sunny i hope to see you again same place same time here on a well to part. Of. Our. If north korea really believes were about to conduct a preemptive strike its going to be significant in a serious preemptive strike may. They may be motivated to make it to try to be just of the floods have their own pushbike. Mistakes couldnt be higher and its happening in syria the goal of destroying the Islamic State is largely complete now the syrian proxy war is in train the new stage for the players and one of their aims and what does winning the. In twenty forty you know bloody revolution to. The demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous.

From the United States we demand that this relationship and by that i mean we want them to and all the support given to the syrian arm of the p. K. The white b. G. Are lets take a closer look at the two groups referred to by the Turkish Defense minister the p. K. K. Is the Kurdistan Workers Party a group thats been in conflict with the turkish authorities for more than thirty years. Considers the p. K. K. A terrorist organization the wife is a mostly Kurdish Militia based in syria seen by the u. S. Led coalition as a key ally in the fight against i still however regard it as a branch of the p. K. K. Now in january i started a military campaign against Kurdish Militias in Northern Syria thats after the pentagon announced it was creating a kurdish led Border Security force in the region and the move triggered a furious reaction from ankara which has long been calling on the us to stop arming the kurds however washington now seems to be denying it ever actually supplied their weapons in the first place. We have never given heavy arms to the y. P. Jews so theres none to take but in terms of weapons the United States has provided weapons to the Syrian Democratic forces for use in iraq we need to arm and train and equip their pressure help the kurdish government in erbil and strong and starch allies we should be using we should be doing the kurdish region to be the bin smoothers really proving to be the most reused one of the long standing. Support of the kurds were the peshmerga who are on the front lines fighting us now the turkish government considers these Kurdish Forces operating in syria to be terrorists and feels quite threatened by them and has been a long outspoken in demanding that the United States and its support for these forces why you still here why do these weapons still arrive america is in the process of creating a terror army on our border do not encroach on our borders do not provoke us we will run out of patience tillerson has arrived in turkey and hell be going to an embassy a u. S. Embassy in turkey that is on a street thats actually maimed for the military operation against those Kurdish Forces armed by the United StatesOperation Olive Branch thats sending a pretty clear message to washington that they do not approve of this policy of arming Kurdish Forces the United States is caught in a strange place between two allies its aligned with the Kurdish Forces and its also aligned with the turkish government a member of nato that considers those Kurdish Forces to be terrorists. The french president has decided to close the press office out the palace lists have been stationed there for decades but now theyll be moved on to a new site officially its being done for operational reasons and to make the office bigger. But some say its a way to keep the media away from president ial activity maybe its just that the french president wants to try his own hand as a news maker by launching his own you tube channel. Explains. This is been the basis of frances president ial press school for decades but the doors are about to close and journalists tenure at the least a callous president now call decided to break away with a press room inside music palace basically get away from the seat of power and now its sort of putting them somewhere remote they will have to ask for appointments every time they want to speak to someone it is keeping them. At a distance and thats exactly what i mean back home since his election last may mark close relationship with the press has been strained hes cherry picked the journalists who can cover his trips outraging multiple media groups he refused to give the traditional bastille day News Conference as its claimed his thoughts too complex and has suggested that journalists are too interested in themselves some say this move is another way of controlling the price pressure media furious on the devaney furious because they were so prove a point during the Electoral Campaign the president ial campaign so. They now realize that its not because you make friends with a politician on complaining that theyre going to treat you well afterwards. But while many in the french media are accusing the president of giving them the Cold Shoulder perhaps it shouldnt come as a surprise. That. If. Not maybe you should take. The story up or about the whole thing that. As artie knows too well call has already bought some Media Outlets from the lease a menu in accordance emanuel micron organizes a briefing off camera with more just before his trip to cali he sent invitations to the media when i arrived there i discovered that i wasnt on the list of accredited media is that they said im not a journalist and that i had to leave so what impact does that have on your ability to do your job in manual mode a manual macro wants to pass a law against fake news theyre refusing to a credit certain media you know the result is you block has access to directly to the real information and sources of information all that awfulness its not as if the president who once famously compared himself to jupiter the roman god is media shy he simply prefers to use social media platforms like this you tube page to make statements. Although it seems not many a watching and it means there are no awkward questions from done journalists to afterwards a Government Spokesperson said moving the press call from release a was made for racial reasons and would give reporters a bigger space in which to work.

More than a year has passed since the libyan city of sirte was liberated from my soul terrorists but locals still fear for their lives the threat of she hardest returning to the area looms large while residents wait for aid to arrive to the ruined city. Just goes. To the biggest mistake. These are everywhere around the food in in the complex and should be shunned in the years following completely out of the sea and mashed into the ground. I mean its impressive even though its been destroyed. As you can see here is damage state flag has been drawn on the site this year. The area is completely destroyed and there is no local or International Assistance for the population there are fears that ice will return to this area again and be entrenched after the one you. Said people were displaced from this area even after the return to find their homes because of the mass destruction there is no house left especially because of the claims all make up room is not parcel. Of the city of sirte and its been a terrorist stronghold the cities around the compound valleys and noisy. Meanwhile the capital of libya is in danger of losing its historical heritage tripoli has many Historic Buildings including castle chairs and places of worship but the unstable situation in the country has put them at risk one photographer from the city has launched a social Media Campaign to raise awareness of the citys historic architecture.
