erdogan's response to u.s. sanctions was for his own stand out pretty mild. >> the turkish establishment has been saying for some time, it is simple, we would like to have patriot symptoms -- systems. we went for the russians. that is not the americans are saying, they are saying this is wrong, that is not exactly what happened between turkey and the u.s.. >> let me remind you that turkey requested from the u.s. and said for the israelis to buy the missile-defense systems, but the united states refused it. later, turkey opened a bidding. china, france, together with the united states and russia was on the bidding and according to this bidding, turkey wanted two criteria. one is the price, the second is the technology transfer. according to the bidding, the united states refused the technology transfer and after that, turkey decided to buy the missile system, also the s300 systems were used without opposition by the united states. i do not think that this problem is only the s400 system because you look at mike

erdogan in effect opening the door to the russians. it was not very smart for mr. erdogan if he has a problem with the americans and nato, to have chosen this route. i would have chosen something else. >> president trump has been reluctant to sanction president erdogan, perhaps seeing him as a strong man. will this be more impact of when joe biden takes office knowing the democrats have been pushing republicans over this deal? >> the congress has just approved a veto-proof defense bill, which includes a provision that was in 30 days, the administration has to impose sanctions on turkey. mr. trump has preempted that by doing something that is less than congress asked for. when mr. biden comes in, i don't know what he will do because he has a number of conflicting views on things he wants to achieve. he wants to have better relations with nato in general than mr. trump did, but he also wants to be careful not to compromise american technology and potentially american security, which in this case, the transfer of technology, mr. erdogan is making life difficult for a

following the 2016 coup attempt in turkey, erdogan blamed the followers of guilan, bosnian officials were pressured to shutter schools that had ties to his movement. then in 2016, six turkish nationals were arrested in kosovo and secretly extradited to turkey. we know that there were false charges issued by the turkish government. as a result, journalists, human rights defenders, and him icians associated with and others who would like to see a greater degree of democracy in turkey have been subject to pressure or arrest. secretary albright, does turkey continue to pressure countries in the balkans both with regard to harboring any turkish national that erdogan doesn't like? and with regard to other matters. secretary albright: congressman, i am very concerned about turkey's behavior generally in terms of the kind of activities that erdogan is undertaking. it raises -- i hope we spend more time at some point talking about what their role is, what's happening in nato as a result of turkish behavior in buying russian arms. i do believe that there are isolated cases of pressure that the

. >> president erdogan made a speech saying this man should not have been acquitted. he is responsible for the year's events. erdogan condemned the court for trying to convict him and made it very clear he wanted this man behind bars. >> turkey is a member of the council of europe and is bound by the decisions of the european court of human rights. phil: this weekend, germany marks four years since the terror attack on a christmas market in the heart of berlin. the terrorist escaped and was shot dead by italian police four days later. >> in the days following the december terror attack, this emergency pastor supported victims. "it did not work well at that point. people understood clearly they were on their own." to a certain extent, that is because the berlin agencies and institutions were themselves overwhelmed. as a result, people waited a long time for financial and psychological help. a public memorial service happened very quickly. the day after the attack, possibly too soon. the memorial service was meant to be for victims' relatives, but many at the time had n

president erdogan called the journalist a traitor and foreign agent. the 59-year-old has been living in exile in berlin for the last four years. the campaign group reporters without borders condemn the trial is a farce. phil: dw spoke with the journalist and asked if he was surprised by the verdict. >> unfortunately, not surprising. from the beginning, it was an attempt by erdogan's government to force me, and everyone was trying to force me to give the most possible price for this story, which is a true story. they wanted to punish me because ofhis true story and at the same time, try to intimidate other generalists in turkey who dared to try to touch that kind of sensitive issue. phil: the u.k. is set to hold elections this weekend as planned despite an upsurge in violence. authorities assist the situation is in control. others want the pole postponed. >> these people will not be deterred. they have come to register. they hope this will and the violence. "i'm sure that i will vote. i know the vote will take place and that's a good thing for me. and a

that is a body that very few people have heard of but it reports to president erdogan. it targets the head of that presidency and three other individuals. it has taken washington an awful long time to impose these sanctions. the missiles arrived in turkey in august last year. i think that length of time is a testament to president trump's personal regard for president erdogan. trump made it known very well he did not want to impose sanctions and i think it is also a testament to the u.s. reluctance to penalize a fellow ally. i believe this is the first time the u.s. has sanctioned a nato member under the anti-american activity legislation. the question is, will these sanctions work? i think that depends on their effect on the world money market's investment market. >> that was just amerigas -- that was jasper mortimer. it is time for business. kate moody is joining us via skype. hello, kate. a major cyberattack. it has targeted branches of the u.s. government. whato we know about this cyberattack? >> the u.s. national security council issued an emergency warning to all

and erdogan talks about highways but also the ottoman empire. so for people to dream about a grandeur of that loss day to capture for their people. that is very convincing and appealing to many people especially if they feel dissatisfied. that the title that they are the only people in those to be put in office by god but that is when trump is anointed as the person who can bring america as the savior complex is a large part of that. >> and with that interaction and that larger context new we see them coming add a time when there is a sense of a national crisis and germany with the great depression and pinochet and the sense that chile word fall for the horrible communist ways and the united states not just the declining power internationally but the demographic shift to make white citizens feel like it is changing in ways to leave them behind. so to feed off of these rulers that are facing real problems existing establishment parties are not address things successfully. >> and then to fix it and then i get said into the propaganda tool and then

erdogan the world's going to harm his chances but we can say it's been for decades turkey is trying to enter the e.u. doing almost everything that the e.u. asked them and they keep the european union keeps asking them more and more and more and more time and one of one of the differences between turkey and france is because france doesn't want turkey to get into e.u. that has been since jacques chirac france or mitterrand and sarkozy and all along and not only mccall saw they keep discussing with turkey about then getting in the e.u. but i think they have no chance because european union they consider themselves as a christian a christian part of the world and turkey is a muslim country so they don't want turkey to get in and i think there is nice with the european union here if he keeps insulting insulting all the president he has almost no chance in getting into the european union and the bigger picture also we had one before he called on people to boycott french products you know he has criticized before and that has been a wave of anti micro protests as a result in muslim countries

>> i'm not a specialist in turkish politics, but i think this serves erdogan's political domestic needs, and it helps him beef up his credentials in turkey and with the wider muslim community where he wants to be considered a leader among the muslim world. he is considered a leader. as my two colleagues here, i agree with the fact that these moves by micron are responding to domestic french needs, and it's not the discourse that will stop france from acting the way it wants to act. imran: if this bill is problematic, is there a better way of dealing with this? >> to be fair, the alternative would be no bill at all. i think leaguer -- legal experts and judges should come forward in france and debate. if you want to criminalize online hate speech, we've got that. the answer would be no law. i think france needs appeasement. we should be addressing the whole nation. it's forming an insidious climate where you tend to designate enemies with in. that was language coined in the u.k. by mayor gray that are under different circumstances. when you start flagging up enemies within, it's very bad

but now these might be different on some issues with president erdogan. sometimes we are worlds apart. but he's a person who always delivers. he's a real gentleman. he never does anything, he never walks back from a promise. he does everything to do good for his country. and it's easy to forecast what his next step will be. and being predictable is a very good quality. it's good maybe because i know what to expect from him or other such people. you mentioned the project. this project is undoubtedly, absolutely clear that it is a win-win for everyone. it's a huge, huge win for the e.u. and for germany in particular. there's a different option for them. they can buy a more expensive energy resource. liquefied gas from the united states, it's priced 20% higher than the pipeline gas that we supply with. that will make the economy of germany less competitive and the prices for households would skyrocket. that's all pretty simple. it's cut and dry. you don't need to be a professional to know these things. and of course this project reflects national interests o
