I apologize we dont have that report. But we do have one from our correspondent. Whos. It was a press conference that was very heavy on rhetoric but very light when it came to details of the messaging that came out from the joints meeting between us are said Rex Tillerson and his counterparts milou jewish or grew was one where they emphasize the strategic relationship the enduring friendship and the very Strong Partnership between the United States and sarky but fail to say exactly how they were going to resolve the deep issues that the contradictions are all posing views between washington and now there are those deep issues essentially can be summed up into two main problem areas the first is syria the princes supporting the Kurdish Militia or the why p. G. Turkey considers them a terrorist organization because theyve been attacking turkey protecting the past few weeks launching rockets at turkish soil and killing at least seven civilians the other issue is the presence of such an agreement in the United States the person that psyche accuses to be behind the failed coup attempt of two thousand and sixteen its also the americans hand them over the americans have so far rejected it not so strong words in terms of friendship whether that is an attempt to patch up something that is irreparable or whether the next few weeks will show us some sort of time jubal action taken between the two allies to resolve this issue will have to wait and see. If they want to other news now and the world has moved towards the brink of a significant conflict thats the warning from the chairman of the annual Munich Security Conference of policymakers and experts have gathered in the german city to talk about Global Security challenges organizers say the role of the European Union will be one of key issues for discussion the gulf crisis north korea and the conflict in ukraine are also expected to be discussed our correspondent hashim i have bought is joining us live from munich they are all very big issues hussian what can we expect on them. Elizabeth the report which was recently released by the Munich Security Conference which usually sets the stone with the tone for which way the debates are going to go during the next three days talks about the European Union concerns about whether the United States of america is committed to maintaining a strong relationship with its traditional ally to the point experts are concerned the United States of america is undermining the International Political order it helped create more than four decades ago they say that the with the Trump Administration of the rise of populist movements theyre just concerned that the growing mistrust in multilateral institutions like nato like the u.
