but this is of course a hugely complex metes so i don t expect too much to come out of this. report we did mention the turkey and russia have different and sometimes competing interests in syria so can we expect any real progress at this meeting today. well turkey and russia of course are acting on the ground on opposite sides of the conflict of course and recently turkey has been holding talks with russia and iran mostly when it comes to syria and these talks have been observed with a certain degree of suspicion by the so-called west now this is the first time two major european leaders are sitting at the table as well mccall and merkel wolf course interested in preventing any similar refugee crisis to the one in twenty fifteen it s also interested they have been invited basically by russia and turkey to join such a meeting so turkey and russia have an interest in the europeans being here as well
targeted are outspoken critics of president donald trump trump address the issue at the white house calling the acts despicable and saying they had quote no place in our country later he said they defect to the republican campaign for the midterm elections republicans had tremendous momentum and then of course it happened where all the people talked about was that and rightfully so it was a big thing rightly so but now we have got the momentum to get trump who so said his political opponents and the media were trying to score political points with the mail bomb scare. mike sand from the news desk has been following this story for us and he now joins me in studio thanks for joining us so max a story that has definitely captivated a magination of many people what do we know about the suspect well definitely it turns out this suspect was quite active online and he s believed to have shared tons of political and radical contents conspiracy theories over across multiple it
