President ial election are just the tip of the iceberg. Also coming up in the next sixty minutes and they tend n. P. R. Chatting sees a Winter Olympics debut as new warnings of big air competition wows the crowds in south korea and. Then were live at the red carpet for the hot wind bark at the twenty eighteen Berlin International Film Festival well give you our picks so i thought that coveted gold and that. Laid a hallmark thanks very much for your company every. On human rights monitors say the Syrian Government has stepped up its bombardment of a rebel held area close to the syrian capital damascus killing scores of people the syrian observatory for human rights says the Government Air raids on Eastern Ghouta have killed seventy one people over the past twenty four hours and injured three hundred twenty five a suburb has been under siege by Regime Forces for more than four years the United Nations has warned of a humanitarian crisis in the area which is home to some four hundred thousand people. Well elsewhere in the syrian conflict the Syrian State News Agency says per Regime Forces are going to help Kurdish Militias expel turkish troops from the border region that turkey invaded last month turkeys foreign minister responded by saying that if the Syrian Regime moved to protect the currents a turkish offensive would continue present aerator ones at the Syrian Government would have to face the consequences. All right while to help explain the potential ramifications of a possible deal between the syrian kurds an aside i want to turn now to saviles beric she is head of the berlin based European Center for kurdish studies a very good evening misses of about how much of a surprise is this reported decision is this something that was being discussed to your knowledge. Well there are people who already said like three weeks ago that the assad regime will come in when turkey doesnt stop its in ways and and i think its not really a surprise because some of those currents in power at the moment in ascii in the white b. G. Which is the branch of the p. K. Has been working closely with the regime for a long time all right so this is not a surprise so its not really a surprise that necessary i mean if this materializes if they get the backing of assads forces well the big question i think is how will turkey react for turkey its of course most important that they get a solution for the security problem took a security problem with the could just north of syria because the b. G. The Syrian Branch of the p. K. K. Is currently in power there and the question is will they trust the regime to really. Keep the influence of this militia or will then what thats basically the question for those living in syrian kurdistan its a different question i think they will neither they neither like to live under turkish power nor under such power and there are many of course also criticizing. Why p g ok well lets lets lets first start with deal with damascus with the assad regime. Are they willing to grant these currents autonomy independence some know that they aspire to no i dont think so there is no reason to believe that the. Courts allow the kurds any form of autonomy any form of federalism any form of them local governments are they turning to them well actually for the. Turkey is the big enemy and they have always been dealing with the assad regime and so for them it means that if they can fight with the assad regime turkey they were turned to the us have to say they are more or less not really interested in the interests of the kurds living in syria but they are interested in the interests of the party of the care of the picket ok lets look a little bit now towards turkey why is this such an existential issue for them that theyre even willing to get bogged down in syria over this over this issue well in a way its understandable i mean there is a war between the p. K. K. And the trucker state since the one nine hundred eighty s. And now the americans have really armed the y. P. Militia with a lot of really great so there are about twenty thousand people now right on the border to turkey so for turkey its really a Security Threat this white turkey came in and one could know for a long time that they wouldnt accept for at least not for mid term that the syrian crunch y p g would stay there with all those on their borders so it was quite clear that they would intervene of course there are other thoughts to say that the fact that the one wants to be elected again next year is important and of course if you want to be elected in turkey its always good to go against the courts because you can then collect certain number of people behind you so in this seems to work to what i wonder though do kurds have any Viable Options in syria but i think they would test head well its difficult to say. Im not sure if they really have other options i mean they could of course try there are groups that try to fight against the y p g u but those groups were really strong and to the white b. G. Could turn them down because they were the only ones armed so currently there are no good options with us there are no good options for the syrians and where does this all leave the americans very brief ive got twenty seconds left for the americans right who have been supporting the kurds of course and our allies with the turks well it seems at the moment that the americans are beginning to let the courts want to let the y. P. G. Down and this seems to be at least for those living there a good thing but now since turkey came in we dont know whats going to happen. She is head of the berlin based European Center for kurdish studies thank you if you. Owe it turkey engaged in syria anchor is looking to improve military ties with some of its allies including germany where the past few days have seen a thawing in relations well this after on her release a german turkish journalist then as you shelter who was held in istanbul for a year without charge but now some are wondering what turkey might get in return they think a deal for a tank factory may be on course 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 afridi 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 your general also a minister of 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 in the putting on the stick or in this countrys future governing coalition has agreed in its negotiations to further tighten the 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. All right want to tell you now what some of the other stories making news around the world. Irans Civil Aviation spokesman has said on state media that he cannot confirm that the wreckage of a plane that crashed on sunday has been found this followed earlier reports that search crews have located the crash site Authorities Say that all sixty five people on board are presumed dead. Five women have been killed in a shooting at a Christian Church in the city of kids we are in that russian republic of dagestan a twenty two year old man fired at people leaving an Evening Service before being shot and killed at the scene the Islamic State group said it was behind the attack. Indonesias Mount Sinabung the volcano has shot five thousand meters of ash into the atmosphere after erupting this morning no fatalities or injuries have been reported a red notice has been issued to all airlines. Now on agr at comp Current Power might not be a name that rolls off the tongue especially for non german speakers but you might be hearing it a lot more in the future because chose the americans told her conservative c. D. U. Party that she would like comiccon bauer to become its secretary general while that means she would be in charge of the partys day to day operations and it places her in pole position to take over as chancellor if miracle to sites to step down. Its by all means a colorful choice and agreed to come take the position as general secretary of the cd hugh although she already has helped more important posts within the party but conservative leader wanted a Party Manager whom she can trust one hundred percent come come by has been close to america for many years taken on so long when we have known each other for many years now and i can say that we can rely on each other even if we both have our own opinions so i think well have some exciting times ahead of us. The media has given come combo the nickname mini america a. K. K. As shes known in the c. D. U. Party is much more than just a mini unlikely to come combo or has been state premie of the sour region since two thousand and eleven. Victory at the state elections last year was key to merkels win in the nationwide elections just a few months later now she gives up this strong position to help marco to set up a reform agenda within the c. D. U. Even that has never im firmly convinced that germany needs and will continue to need Strong Political parties not political movements dominated by single persons. And agreed to come cousin by was considered to be down to earth a matter of fact approach to politics is very popular her nomination as general secretary can also be seen as a way of reaching out to americas critics of those shes loyal to the party leader articulate come combo has never been too shy to voice her opinion in the past. Hour at lets go to our political correspondents all over south for more on this hour were going to see you have chosen Americans Party members welcomed her decision to nominate and i cant count our. Well it certainly shows this move that america is taking care of her legacy and this is certainly appreciated within the party we have to consider that america has received enormous criticism in the recent weeks and months for the weak election result of the conservative party in the parliament in the Parliament Elections here in september but then also of course for her open door policy in the refugee crisis of two thousand and fifteen and sixteen and for a general move to the left off the conservative party so the overall arching question always was will she at some point present her own successor. Come convo is not necessarily her successor but whats interesting to see and to consider here is that shes going to be in one of the most influential positions off the conservative party the secretary general which by the way even until america held herself before she became party head and before she became chancellor of germany so she certainly this name is a name to watch out for in the future all right talk to us now about the social democrats oliver is there house and or air. Well the s. P. D. Party is in a complicated situation right now it took them weeks to get this Coalition Deal underway to negotiate with the conservative party after having had one of the biggest election defeats actually the lowest results in modern german history and now they are the Party Obviously of promised. The party base actually to vote on the outcome of these off this Coalition Deal and this is going to happen and as you can imagine there are very different standpoints within the party not many are half. Hearted going back into a grand coalition someone who has been think that the party can only gain strength in the opposition so there is a group of young social democrats fighting passionately against going into forming part of a government again and this will be a major challenge then to convince the party base to vote yes for another grand coalition an hour before i let you go some new polls have been released today. Thats right and we see the a of the party the far right populist party coming out stronger than the s. P. D. Party we were just talking about thats quiet unusual its the first time we see Something Like that happening here but we have to take into consideration this institute is run by a person of form a c. D. U. Party member who was his positions were so far right that he had to leave the conservative c. D. U. Party is considered an a if the friendly politician himself and he is running this poll this institute who just came out with the with these results in fact so we have to be careful on the one hand side on the other hand if you look at other institute results then they come out pretty similar so this is certainly also a result of the long week lasting negotiations here for for forming a new government in germany and people are simply upset with this are right over salat reporting thank you all right to france to our aid workers say that thousands of migrants are sleeping rough an appalling conditions thats despite an election promise by president many on my call to curb the problem by the end of twenty seventeen on now it looks like his government may have a solution e ws the salaries reports from paris on a new Immigration Law that will streamline the asylum process and make it easier for authorities to deport migrants. When abraham arrived in paris last year he thought hed finally be able to start a new life the twenty year old senegalese had fled his Country Office parents were killed by independence fighters in the Southern Region of cousin and yet he has still not found a safe haven here. I think the police often come here to take us us there was a time when they showed up almost every day sometimes they tear down our tents just cause mayhem if someone had told me beforehand that this was happening in france i would never have believed them and france calls itself the country of human rights i am deeply disappointed i feel sick. Abraham has applied for asylum he could stay at a public charter but he prefers to sleep under this bridge he ironically calls this the hotel of the eighteenth around a small here if eels less at the governments mercy than at a public shelter. Id rather die here than go to a government shelter migrants need to be respected to we are not facts leaves or beggars everybody could be in the situation no matter what the color of their skin. Aid workers say the pressure on migrants has been mounting since president came to power and they think this could be just the beginning the government is working on a new tougher Immigration Law says its really frightening we dont know anymore what to tell the migrants this new law will give migrants less time to apply for asylum and the government will be allowed to hold them in Detention Centers for twice as long as you so youll have more time to find a way to throw them out france is setting up a down right to put haitian machines used to send people back home. But the government says the stories of Police Violence against migrants ah. Just rumors and that even under the new law those who need protection will still get it and i havent seen any pictures of policemen hitting migrants or taking away their tents if that were happening it would be a scam and we would have to put an end to it we believe and go on from one at the same time being humane of you to the new law streamline the asylum procedure so that migrants get a cricket decision and arent stuck in limbo for so long if their request is turned down we will be able to deport them more easily they should trust us to give them the protection they need. But many of the migrants here dont trust the government about one thousand of them are camping out in the streets of paris despite freezing temperatures even in this cold these people say that they wont go to public shelters because many of them are scared that if they do they will be picked up authorities and thrown out of the country. Even i am hopes nevertheless that france will grant him asylum so that he can finally start over again. And im not asking the french to give me money or anything only want to continue my studies and meet them to protect me so that i can integrate into society i am praying for france to give me a chance. He wants to study French Literature and one day find a girl and start a family then he will no longer be afraid or ashamed to show his face to the world. Youre watching the news we still have a lot more to tell you about including he looks on as he plays oddball characters and hes a european shooting star plans regard skate is also int
