And a Treasure Hunters and poland big for gold. Their only on the hunt for a missing nazi train. They are on the hunt for a missing nazi train. Sarah welcome to the program. A confidential German Government report reveals that berlin used turkey is the central hub for Islamist Groups in the middle east. The report says that they have made supporting islam is in terrorist organizations part of its official policy. A. R. D. Says this is the official assessed the report was released after a request made by germanys left party. What exactly is being alleged . Earlier i put the question to our political correspondent, simon young. Simon this assessment is apparently based on information from germanys Intelligence Services who say that the turkish government has been supporting armed Islamist Groups in syria as well as the Muslim Brotherhood in egypt and the Palestinian Organization hamas. These organizations are not new. In fact, a lot people would say it is an open secret in turkey that they had been supporting islamic state, among others, although they have denied that. But there have been visits in the past. I think the real story here is that this assessment was in the hands of the German Government and it appears to have come into the public domain, not officially, through the a. R. D. Sarah that assessment was supposed to be confidential and yet it was uncovered. Do you think it was an accident that came out it came out . Simon this is where it gets mysterious because this information was provided to the left party on the basis of a parliamentary question. That was normal as it would have gone. The thing is the left party has something of a record of leaking confidential information. This confidential assessment was attached to the answer they were provided with. So, you might ask why were they given all that information and what did the interior ministry who said this answer hope to achieve why it . By it . Some were speculating the German Government wants them to know they really think of it without having to say so officially. Sarah perhaps the public faces differed from the private one. How is this likely to affect relations between turkey and germany . Simon the relations are already strained and i think they could become even more strained. In turkey itself, journalists who make these kinds of allegations are being locked up at the moment. It could create problems. Turkey has been talking about hostility from europe and it has been threatening to scrap the deal to hold back refugees coming through to europe and that is important for germany because of the number of migrants who have been arriving here. It is a very strained situation already. I have to say some are attempting to take a pragmatic line. We can hear a clip from the german finance minister. I do not like what mr. Erdogan is doing at all but that certainly does not mean we should stop working with him, which is what many members of the green party and the left party are saying. We rely on cooperation with turkey. It is in our interest and it is our responsibility to Work Together and that means we have to manage this in a reasonable way whether we like it or not. Simon opposition groups are saying that this underlines the need for berlin to change course in relation to turkey. Sarah simon young, thank you. In other news, the United States says it has sent 15 inmates from the Guantanamo Bay prison camp to the united arab immigrants, emirates. Hundreds were detained at the u. S. Base on cuba after it was set up following the september 11 attacks. The transfer leaves just 61 inmates there. Reporter to some, it is a symbol of american injustice and torture. Minotaurs detention facility is located on a u. S. Naval base in Guantanamo Bay, cuba. It was established in 2002 by former u. S. President george w. Bush. Following the september 11 attacks under his administration, suspected members of the taliban and al qaeda from or from over 40 countries were detained here. At one point, more than 700 prisoners. Among them, the alledge it mastermind of 9 11. Interrogation methods in groove include waterboarding and sleep deprivation.

Supreme court. When he took office in 2009, president barack obama pledged to shut it down. Guantanamo will be closed no later than one year from now. Reporter but there has been fierce resistance, especially from the Republicancontrolled Congress did they argue closing it would be expensive and transferring the most dangerous suspects to u. S. Civilian prisons is out of the question.

He knows his successor could change things. If republican president ial candidate donald trump becomes next commanderinchief, he has said more bad guys will be rounded up in the offshore prison. At 454 million in operating costs every year, the facility is a costly reminder of americas selectiv adherence to international law. Sarah given his promise to do so, why hasnt president obama close guantanamo already . A question with into a security and human rights advocate at Amnesty International usa in washington. Thank you for having me in covering this important development. There had been a number of factors that have prevented guantanamo closure over the years. One is a lack of political will from the obama administration. Closing guantanamo is going to take big, bold steps towards closure. Thankfully, this latest transfer shows that, perhaps, they have the political will to follow through on his promise to do the right thing and close the detention camp. So far, they have not exerted that will. There is also misinformation and false information, fear mongering that has crept up in the conversation about guantanamo. The u. S. Public in many members of the u. S. Congress do not understand who is at guantanamo and exactly why it must be close and unfortunately that is a very loud voice, a loud presence in the debate. But we still believe in and is the international. If we have the public pressure and he will, guantanamo could be close. Be closed.
