Give me children now bellows Opposition Leaders for one of the kind of sky a tells the European Parliament that a peaceful revolution is underway. No reason to investigate alexy no vote on these illness the kremlin says the german finance initial poisoning diagnosis is not conclusive. Montana how much not have all the support the bron james they live is a big performance to put the lakers they just one win away from the western conference semifinals. And. Germanys foreign minister is urging turkey and greece to hold direct talks to defuse tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean says enough and will travel to turkey later in an effort to mediate the 2 countries have announced rival millet. Exercises in the mediterranean escalating a dispute over Gas Exploration in contested waters turkey has been operating a Research Vessel accompanied by warships to survey the seabed for gas and oil deposits greece claims the area with the ship is overlaps its own Continental Shelf athens says its ready for dialogue but it will defend its sovereign rights this shows the exclusive Economic Zones of greece turkey and cyprus as defined by the un it accords greece 71 percent of the aegean sea and turkey 8. 8 per cent but this is how turkey redraws the same map claiming much of greece is waters as its own and this is the area where turkey has started looking for oil within its self defined waters but that infringes on greeces Maritime Territory according to the e. U. And the un and joins it up with us is enough ans with more on the greek reaction. We did hear the Greek Foreign minister open with. Initial remarks in saying that right now we consider that turkey is behaving illegally in the Eastern Mediterranean undermining stability in the region and affecting to Member States of the European Union greece and of course the other one is cyprus in whose exclusive Economic Zone turkey has been conducting drilling in seismic tests as well we question for the greeks now is whether turkey will agree to stop these activities in both greek and cypriot exclusive Economic Zones and agree without further action on the exploration front to sit down for talks which would take place on the basis of un maritime law and would disagree with its sign a statement to the effect that should those talks fail to achieve a bilateral compromise between greece and turkey on maritime jurisdictions would turkey agree to settle this through up which ration at the International Coal at the hague the those are broadly speaking the things that greece is looking for in this initial round. Of contacts between the greek and turkish sides through the German Foreign minister the effort this week is to get the 2 sides to agree on parameters. Under which they would resume talks hopefully by the end of the week when european Foreign Ministers get together if that doesnt happen. Then Foreign Ministers in europe may be encouraged to approve a draft list of sanctions on turkish economic targets which the European External Action Service has been drawing up ok lets cross over to sin and cos we all know in istanbul going by what John Psaropoulos was just saying it seems that the emphasis now is on what tookie does next and whether or not its going to be prepared to sit down and have talks is there any indication that that might happen. Well of actually the main dispute between 2 neighboring countries is about the boundaries of the territorial waters and john has been touching the seashore as well turkey is not to turkey it doesnt hasnt signed any exclusive Economic Zones with any country but it has the Continental Shelf boundaries at the to the United Nations years ago so the main the main dispute between turkey and greece is that greece claims that each island that belong to greece has its own exclusive Economic Zones which claims which actually aims to reduce turkeys territorial waters or excludes the Economic Zone area but according to law it is just the opposite the islands do not have its own exclusive Economic Zones and the experts merit and they will experts in tricky always give the example of the exclusive Economic Zone agreement between spain and morocco and there are islands in between so thats the main issue and turkey claims that turkey is doing its systemic studies in the area that is that is inside its maritime boundaries and turkey and nouns and now text not text is an information system. In enable studies so that you inform all parties that you are operating as a systemic russell or you are doing fishing so what has been a lot has triggered the tension is that greece has an announced now tax in the same area where turkey has been has been drilling for the last couple of days so. Announcing and now tax in the same area where others are working is not legal experts say this is why turkey has been very angry and today turkey held a military training accompanied with american and italian. As wall but turkey says that the greece is trying to provoke turkey especially given by the help of france and the United Arab Emirates where turkey has been in dispute this special when it comes to libyan issue but german chancellor and america has been and mediating and trying to make it which been 2 countries were going to see after high school must visit whether this tension can be easy or is it really going to become a real military tension in the Eastern Mediterranean given that there are over the 2 men the tensions in syria in libya in many of the other places in the surrounding region ronsin in kosovo bringing us that update from istanbul thanks and im so done is in no position to normalize relations with israel thats the message from Prime Minister abdullah whos hosted rare talks with the u.

Yes indeed rob now the Prime Minister of the im doing has been very much looking forward to visit visits and when the visit will or when the meeting between the sudanese Prime Minister and the u. S. Secretary of state did he tweeted out that it was a very fruitful meeting and that they discussed a number of issues including bilateral relations the issue of lifting sudan off the list of countries sponsoring terrorism thats a list that sudan has been on since 1906 and something that sudan has been trying to get off since a Transitional Government took power last year and now following the meeting we did not hear any statements from the Prime Minister himself off from the u. S. Secretary of state but we did get a statement from the Government Spokesperson saying that while they discussed the issues of support for the Transitional Government and support for the Peace Process that is currently going on in the south sudanese capital juba the Prime Minister said that because this government is brought to power by a coalition of Political Parties with different ideologies and different believes its very hard for this government right now to take that step forward and normalize ties with israel especially because this government is not mandated for that agenda in fact it is actually just mandated to lead this country forward until elections are held and he said that until an elected government is brought to power they can all take that step he brought him to remember back in february this deal was 1st moved to doing the rumors over were going abroad there were protests in khartoum against the deal how are people feeling about it. We have seen a lot of condemnation over this. Or what would have been a possible step people have said that this is not the right time and they also repeated what the Government Spokesperson said just a few minutes ago that this government is also not mandated and till an elected government is brought to power then that steps can be decided whether it should go on forward or whether it should not go on. Weve also seen various Political Parties that are coming out to condemn the ties between the normalization of ties between the within the state of israel and the u. A. E. And weve heard from various Political Parties here in the country saying that this government should not take a step in that direction before an elected government is brought to power weve also seen some protests early this morning rob in front of the United Arab Emirates embassy here in the capital khartoum people condemning the move they are posters in front of the Foreign Ministry but there is posters stuck on the walls of the Foreign Ministry people think that this is not a step that this country should go on forward with civil morgan bringing us up to date from khartoum thank you very much indeed the Opposition Leader says a peaceful revolution is underway to remove longtime ruler viktor lookers shankara so long as a kind of sky has addressed the European Parliaments Foreign Affairs committee from exile in left the wording here but back in belarus authorities have continued to detain several leading opposition activists protests calling for president on xander looking shanker to step down have been growing ever since the disputed elections earlier this month.
