Secretary general and could be on. Those tickets to the chance of a sure. Sign a russian fake news factory a whistleblower tells d. W. Of the people indicted for alleged meddling in the us president ial elections are just the tip of the iceberg. So coming up in the next sixty minutes day ten in film shocking scenes a Winter Olympics debut a snowboarding some big competition wows the crowds in north korea. And where the World Premiere yes the controversial new no region film its the first movie to look at the devastating terrorist attacks in norway in two thousand and eleven the last seventy seven deaths. I dont feel welcome. Program syria made is reporting that pro us out forces will answer syria as a free in the region to help Kurdish Militias repel turkish troops could arrive in the rebel held area within hours turkeys foreign minister responded to this news by saying that if the Syrian Regime moved to protect the kurds the turkish assault would continue to his cross border offensive into syria began last month. A good move indeed a because one until yulia han who is in istanbul welcome so this warning from turkeys a foreign minister looks as though turkey is taking things reports seriously. Well the Turkish Foreign minister is the first high ranking Government Official here to comment on this potential cooperation or deal between the Syrian Regime and Kurdish Forces in north and syria let me quote him here directly he says if the regime is entering there to cleanse the p. K. K. And p y d then there are no problems however if it comes to defend them then nothing and nobody can stop us or turkish soldiers so a really harsh comment here which indicates that turkey is indeed taking these reports very seriously and that there are in the worst case willing to escalate the situation however so far we dont have any direct confirmation of such a deal by the Syrian Regime by domestic goes we just have state media reports and on the kurdish side there are also conflicting information so the situation is very unclear right now we dont have any exact information on whats going on on the ground or what might be happening within the next hours so how would a deal between the kurds and syria affect his operation olive branch. Well turkish troops would not only be confronting Syrian Kurdish fighters in north and syria but also forces allied with Bashar Al Assads regime this would of course make the whole military operation much more tougher much more complicated and it would also complicate turkeys larger goal of ofter often moving further north north of towards the majority kurdish controlled area of beach so everything overall an already unpredictable situation will get more unpredictable you have to understand there are so many local and International Actors trying to calm fears of influence in syria so the outcome whatever it will be the situation is probably getting more messy so cooperation between the kurds and the Syrian Government would have been unthinkable so what does each side get out of this well this is of course right now speculation since we dont know if there will in fact be such a deal the cuts could be out for up for a pragmatic alliance with Bashar Al Assads regime in order to first of all push back turkeys military offensive there is no talking so far about a political agreement for Bashar Al Assad of course it would mean that he would be maybe getting control back over these kurdish controlled areas in north and syria his troops have backed out in twenty twelve so if he finds somehow a deal with the cuts it would mean that he is back in charge and it would give him overall in the end major advantage in the Syrian Civil War im just looking at this hugely complicated situation from up from a Wider Perspective we have Kurdish Militias in Northern Syria who have been working with the United States against islamic states washington of course poses serious president s so the kurds seem to be at risk of alienating their us allies by this move. Well phil as your question already suggests the situation is very very complex and my feeling is as we saw in the past years in the civil war alliances are shifting there are often very pragmatic alliances that can shift very quickly so right now its really not possible to say anything of course american support for the kurds was focusing on the fight against isis not on the fight against president Bashar Al Assad so well have to be a bit patient and see whats going to happen there on the ground and wait for further reports from both sides the Syrian Government and the Kurdish Forces. In istanbul thank you but with turkey engaged in syria on korea is looking to improve military ties with its allies including germany where the past few days have brought an improvement in relations this after i credit released a german turkish journalist as usual who was behind been held in istanbul for a year without charge but now some are wondering what turkey might get in veto they think a deal for a tank factory maybe to his price. Seeking speedy approval from germany turkish Prime Minister banally yielder him is hoping the two countries might soon cooperate on building tanks in turkey a deal potentially worth billions. In january German Foreign minister sic Mark Gabriele signaled berlin would ok a proposal to retrofit tanks with new anti mines systems but that plan was put on ice after turkey invaded syrias african region with german built leopard tanks gabriele rejected speculation the deal for a tank factory would be approved critics fear there may be a secret deal to approve the factory in exchange for the recent release of the german journalist dennys you jel. The foreign minister would never admit it but in my view its perfectly clear theres a connection there if you look at the whole story i assume is a direct link to. The German Foreign ministry has denied those claims it says the countrys acting government doesnt have the mandate to make such a deal and the putting out of the city court in this countrys future governing coalition has agreed in its negotiations to further tighten weapons exports so i wouldnt be able to support an agreement like that. After turkeys controversial use of german leopard tanks against the kurds in Northern Syria both sides know a strengthening of ankara and butlins military ties would likely be unpopular. Meanwhile turkish officials have said that dennis usuals trial will begin on the twenty eighth of june in istanbul no charges were made against him during his year in detention but on the day of his release on friday he was charged with supporting terrorism. Now lets take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world irans Civil Aviation spokesman has said on state media that he cannot let the wreckage of a plane that crashed on sunday has been found that this followed earlier reports that search crews had located the crash site.

Other threats cannot might not be a name that rolls off the tongue here she is especially for those of us who are not german speakers but you might be hearing and seeing a lot more of her in future because the countries that chancellor Angela Merkel has told her conservative c. D. U. Party that she wants ms crap about to become secretary its general secretary his main should be charge of the partys day to day operations which puts in pole position to take over as chancellor if im going to hold steps down. The position close to uncle americal is nothing new for and they cannot come out and shes been one of americas closest advisors for some years now. Many say that come qanbar his victory at the state elections in the sar region one year ago was key to merkels win in the nationwide elections just a few months later. On this hoping that many people would support her politics of the center on a grand coalition and me personally and that seems to be the case its great that this mood was translated into so many votes and that many nonvoters came back to us and this is. Afterwards the media gave come convo or the nickname mini americal but a. K. K. As shes known in the c. D. U. Party is much more than just a mini the fifty five year old lawyer has managed to secure a conservative majority within the saar region traditionally a social democrat stronghold. A. K. K. Is considered to be down to earth her matter of fact approach to politics is very popular come current powers nomination as general secretary can also be seen as a way of reaching out to americans critics although shes loyal to the party leader come convo or has never been too shy to voice her opinion in the past as give over a Political Correspondent to all of us and well what message is unclear sending with this decision. Politician with a complicated name on a good come common ball for non german natives at least its a very interesting move to follow here im going to america has received lots of criticism foam from within her own party in the refugee crisis of two thousand and fifteen and sixteen for the general move off the conservative party to the left so not everybody is very pleased right now at this point after a very complicated weeks of negotiating to form a new government also please weekend and the question is always been will she present her own successor at some point now and again come come convo is not necessarily her successor but as weve heard in the report shes in sort of like a pole position there will be as the new secretary general its a very powerful position of very influential position coming right after the german chancellor and it will be certainly very interesting to watch if im going to america will step down at some point and this might be the person to follow and it is a done deal with will it gets this job and if she does what does she stand for well shes a very factual politician and weve also heard this before in our coverage shes very factual shes not consider very emotional but thinking about things a lot before she takes decisions and this is a style that appreciates a lot she is seen as a close adviser all for as well and she stands basically for the continuation off the medical style shes very successful within the state of sond where she is the Prime Minister and she will bring that experience certainly to the conservative party and that is something that im going to michael would appreciate very much and why is there a vacancy for general secretary. Well the former general secretary. Was ill that is not the official reason why he stepped down he was considered weak also because of the Election Campaign that is one of his job one of his duties and now he voluntarily leaves this position in an effort to strengthen the party all of a sudden fact here and have u. S. Special councils decision on friday to charge thirteen russian suspected of meddling in americas president ial election was thrown International Attention back to kremlin backed internet propaganda the deluge has been speaking with a former Internet Troll who worked at the Internet Research agency in petersburg u. S. Investigators say that this is a fake news factory she told the ws must have correspondent youre in russia so those thirteen arrests barely scratched the surface of what she describes as a mass operation. Russias second city St Petersburg apparently the center of the fake news operation aimed at disrupting the twenty sixteen race for the white house two years ago this Young Journalist was working alongside the socalled Internet Trolls at the Russian Agency for Internet Research the official name of the troll factory whose buses have now been indicted by the United States. But employees at the troll factory get a list of topics every day that they have to work through if bad news about the United States was always one of the more important topics. It would be in. Dutch avila tried to make contact with those working inside the building to no avail. The revelations by lit miller lifted the lid on the troll factory on savage kena street instant petersburg. Curtains on the windows no sign at the entrance in this that and suspicious looking building here in san pittsburgh so called Internet Trolls are supposed to have dramatically meddled in the us election american investigators say. This video from inside the complex was sent to touch a valid by another whistleblower that minute says theyre better paid than the average russian more than a thousand people are thought to work here and its by no means the only troll factory in russia but the old. Testament toys Less Movement today no one can exactly say how far these trolls have really influenced the us elections and individual voters mean yes but but its absolutely clear that there was some meddling going on. And as he is. Its enough for just one person to put out false information in return for payment that clearly constitutes an attempt to tamper at the. Up with. It miller says the handful of russians indicted in the us is only the tip of the iceberg. In thats its worse there werent just thirteen there werent even just one hundred thirty of them there were many more that there was and still is an enormous operation going on. In the thirteen who have been accused or just the ones the americans have got hard evidence against i hope the investigations will continue. With them there are simply so many people who are working professionally for the russian Propaganda Machine i hope that others will soon be investigated would suddenly sean.
