Im still going to welcome to the program day two of the World Economic forum and germanys chancellor has told the gathering of politicians and Business Leaders protectionism is not the answer to the worlds problems im going to medical also offered a figure us defense of free trade and call for renewed european integration to make the e. U. Single market fit for the digital age a warning against Rising Economic nationalism comes the day before u. S. President donald trump is set to arrive in davos where hes expected to defend his America First policies heres more of what chancellor who had to say. We know that they are right National Ecosystems we see populism on the rise we see in many states a polarizing atmosphere and a polarized state of affairs many people seem to worry wilmont naturalism actually find an answer to tackling the problems that people. Half that mankind has in a fan equitable way and also if we look at the great challenge of the disruptive changes of technology when a Technology Offers this Digital Change many people seem to doubt that in many countries germany wishes to be a country that wouldnt lend its contribution also in future to solve the problems of the world together we think that shutting our selves off against the rest of the world isolating ourselves and will not lead us into a good future protectionism is not the proper answer and we believe that if we are of the opinion that things are simply not fair that there is no rissa prosody bent then we have to seek Mountain Natural answers to this and not pursue a unilateral protectionist course or less from d. W. Political correspondent simon young welcome or silas go through the chancellor speech that everything seems to be aimed at the man who isnt there when to donald trump arrives tomorrow. Well hes on his way and certainly dont trumps view of how the International Community should Work Together or not Work Together hes sort of rejection of multi latter lism if you think of the paris Climate Change deal for instance thats certainly on the minds of european leaders not least among them angle a magical so she did a little bit of a History Lesson stuff to die she said you know if you think back to the roman empire all the great wall of china you know these are examples isolationism hasnt worked protectionism hasnt worked economic entities down the ages of had to find a good way to you know trade with the well and have good relations with the world to find a cooperative approach that is angular medicals approach and as you say that message was effectively talked to trump before he gets that she also talks about that they need for europe to Work Together he she is on defense policy. F. I. O. S. Somehow threshold we have this shiite emission on our threshold and africa is very close to us syria is the neighbor of cypress so what are the fact that year in its Foreign Policy has not been all that active in the past we quite often relied on as we got our security on the United States of america but now they concentrate on themselves and their own security all of that needs to tell us a lesson we need to take more responsibility. We need to take our destiny into our own hands and thats what we did by forging this new defense cooperation and also looking more and the challenges of migration we know there are still differences of opinion and differences of approach within the union on this but well continue to work on this. Its all about working together so not just defense and migration but many other areas as well yeah i mean is she talked about this idea of a deepened European Security policy common Security Policy but she immediately went on to say that that would include Common Development policy and i think shes thinking there as she also said in particular of africa the importance for europe of having good relations with its major neighbor a continent and doing what it can to stabilize countries there to improve the economy is there she said that migration is of course destabilizing in europe all of these things are things that we know but the way that angle americal drew it together here she really had a focus on africa in this speech because she said you know europe of course has its colonial history in africa thats a responsibility that lies on european shoulders to find Good Solutions but also theres a self interest there as well because weve got these migration flows and we have to do what we can to make sure africas future is a good one frances president is due to speak at davos later today he. As already outlined his vision for our deeper european integration many times before not did Angela Merkels vision a match up with his well the two leaders of course are very much on a similar page you know he also has talked about digitization the big revolution of the Digital Economy that tango america had a big focus on in this speech hes also focused on the environment and on the common Security Policy as well but of course macro francis there went further he said hes talked about a european Rapid Response force i didnt hear that from Angela Merkel today she was very much broader in her lines but i think from the tone you could say you know this was a good warm up act for macro later on i mean of course angle americal stands a little bit to one side shes not looking for a radical change a man who on the crawl hes young hes more dynamic hes got a different image and maybe he thinks he can sort of you know steal a march will say a simon young thank you.

A turkish president. Says he will expand the countrys military offensive in Northern Syria to take in the town of man be the moves in defiance of International Concerns about his operation targeting kurdish groups which i think are regards as terrorists. All the new front in this unrelenting roar in turkeys decades long attempt to push Kurdish Militia out of the region ankara is aiming for a swift victory with Operation Olive Branch turkish soldiers are optimistic on if they will take on freeman succeed in this operation within the next couple of days. But the kurdish y p g wants the world to know they are going to defend the enclaves. People resist and will not allow the enemy to invade or low and to the last drop of blood we have we will never retreat from here. Not in the past kurdish fighters have relied on support from a major player the United States thirty one dismissed International Criticism of the offensive and announced plans to expand the operation eastwards. God willing starting from monday which we will continue to top these games along our borders and will completely wipe this trouble from a region that the moment to music has. That the u. S.

Joins us from erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan welcome to detail what are you hearing from your contacts in africa all theres a lot of bombing by the turkish our forces artillery and there have been a lot of civilian casualties also children and theyre quite worried about the Current Situation whats on going after. Kurdish forces in that area has been backed by u. S. Troops in the past america at the moment its response to this is to defense it has been quite luke warm how the kurdish fighters feel about that. Well i was talk to people enough in yesterday and they said there are sort of discipline because they were the ones that fought against isis with american support and now turkey with the help of even geodes groups are attacking us so they are disappointed. But american troops are still there i wonder do you think this means the end of the u. S. Kurdish alliance all in three and there are no american troops thats the reason that the u. S. Says they have no responsibility there well theres a possibility that the turks wont move further and that the city of mumbai that you are there are u. S. Troops so its possible if america does nothing and those not going to help the kurds in that case then the kurds will definitely end alliance with the u. S. So hes president one has announced that his countrys military is to expand its offensive move closer to those u. S. Forces in syria. Looks like well go to see a much more serious conflict of interest between nato allies yeah thats true also even the last few days there have been bombings and other kurdish cities where there are u. S. Troops present but its really out on launchers the ground assault on the city of mumbai then it would be very difficult for america to keep this position and say nothing because there is u. S.
