turkey is expanding. i think there's university branches or faculty that are being opened. >> well, i mean, it's by default right now it's occupation, by definition. i'm not sure how far he wants to go with that. it may depend on whether he can strike agreement in terms of what kind of autonomy will occurred get there that might threaten the turkish-kurds so to speak. it remains to be seen. the way it goes, it continues this way, i don't think there's going to be a lot of legitimacy. no question. >> to this point, i think there's an important point he make, i think the issue is key and will be whether -- what is happening defacto to what's playing out already rather than where formal lines are. we haven't talked about yemen on this panel, but to me the really interesting discussion about what is happening in yemen and whether there can be resolution to the conflict. if you move sort of politicized, what was yemen before this conflict and does it hang together? i kind of tried to address that and i think,

this is the the news live from berlin a controversial move by turkey's parliament in the fight against the coronavirus president other launch party and allies agreed to release thousands of prisoners to ease overcrowding but critics say the bill intentionally exploits journalists and politicians jailed a journey of 2016 crapped out also on the program as china announces victory over the coronavirus in a book on its threatened with a 2nd front on its remote blonde border with russia. i'm phil gal welcome to the program turkey's parliament has passed a law allowing tens of thousands of prisoners to go free as the country tries to reduce overcrowding in jails and curb the spread of the coronavirus but opposition parties and other critics say the law excludes anyone critical of president iran's government the temporary releases don't cover people jailed on terrorism charges including politicians and journalists who were arrested in the crackdown that followed the attempted coup in 2060. it's an awkward moment for a group photo members of air to one's party ignore appeals or physical distan

if you look at turkey, it is a source of stability. it's an authoritarian way but it's a force for stability. if a look at some of the context, let's say early 2000s 1990s in turkey again, it would be a force for instability because it was three of the opposition. it was pushing them in trying to get more political space and representation or change policies. so it totally depends on the context i think. i don't think islam by itself is different than many other religions. it depends on the political context, depends on actors, depends on overall circumstance in terms of what kind of a role it is built in this country. and iraq for example, or in syria it can be force for instability but in tunisia, at this point in time it can be a force for stability. if the seeming commitment for democracy in the words of -- in terms of modern democracy. >> i think this is one of the major issues where witnessing now inside iraq although it's not being framed that way in the media in that window look at the grand ayatollah who is the march of the mo

inst is turkey basically trying to extort more money out of the e.u. by using migrants as blackmail material. when techies the country of most refugees in the world and has been for many many years and the money that you gave turkey and promised is a very good investment it helps syrians go to school 680000 children it provides money for clinics in turkey all these one in 3000000 syrians have access to healthcare not but it was enough for us it's all running out the question is can they agree on a new deal when the e.u. continues to fund the integration of syrians greece can't move those around the islands to the mainland and reckon just like germany can help greece i think some of them. mr sharon now sweeping your time in your insights tonight thank you i thank you. well here's a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world that germany's education minister has told the w. news that the government plans to give interest free loans to students in need the loan program would be extended to international students who are not fr

when it comes to turkey i think this is the major challenge posed to the world. when we look at the fact that it remains occupied ever since mom in 1974, when we look at northern syria, the turkish civilian post offices i would worry a great deal about that and whether the world is going to be into position to respond to that whatever the true ambition is that we have an expert here so i won't be for. >> the problem is i think the context has changed from what it was in terms of legitimacy. there are some faculty being opened. >> i'm not sure how far he wants to go. it may depend whether he can strike an agreement in terms of what the autonomy. it remains to be seen. the key will be what's happening and playing out already rather than what the formal lines are. to me the interesting discussion about what is happening and whether there can be a resolution to the conflict if you move beyond the sort of politicized. it's about the decentralization, and i think again if we want to be serious about diplomacy and you think these other tools, understanding how the diffe

turkey's largest city and many of our cities in the blame game has already started turkey's interior minister sort of a solo who the order was given out under his name said this was his decision he pointed the finger at the presidency and that is a sign that there is some discord within the ruling party over the way this whole incident was handled even though there was these growing calls for these measures of curfew to be introduced even by. immoral but the way it was carried out i think has one little few ports in the country. so we're seeing a panic buying and clearly one consequence of the last minute announcement were overcrowded supermarkets and the like are there others saying that the measures are counterproductive. well i think that certainly is a criticism because these there have been these widespread calls for social distancing as there has been for a while to globe and it has been pretty much largely followed by turkish people especially in istanbul and many other cities but when you had these people faced with the fact that they had to have to shop of in the space of 2

almost all turkeys community talk to people here. head horses. in fact many turkish villages were sealed off by military checkpoints well into the 1990 s. . places like the village of at you know us. ox a haka was a boy at the time but remembers it while. this and in the mid ninety's until van or somebody who was from other parts of greece it was not possible for him to come in this area without any specific parish. why you how to how. special identity in order to come to your area because it was minority because it is a minority and. it was a policy. minorities to become isolated in the villages isolated in get. at the time as dick turks went just having a difficult time in greece. in neighboring bulgaria joining the 1980 s. the communist authorities and balts on a brutal policy of force assimilation including giving ethnic turks slavic names. this was the impetus for the because of the so did that it's because their names were changed through christian mass which for a muslim to have a christian name is in france. and in the sound of 100-9000 t

hello again i missed on here today and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up turkey overtakes neighboring iran as the country with the highest number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the middle east. a rush to boost testing in france as it's just weeks away from loosening lockdown ordinance. and music with a serious message how global stars are helping health care what kids must lose we need to strengthen. the systems in the world. now the vexing question of when to ease coronavirus down restrictions is dividing the epicenter of the pandemic us president keeps pushing a positive message saying there are signs that that 19 has passed its peak but experts warn that moving too fast could be disastrous and you got a guy is in florida with that story. after weeks of stay at home hundreds flocked to the reopened beaches in jacksonville florida the medical of this country. move as essential activity even as a state hit more than 27000 coronavirus cases it's what authorities call a pathway back to normal life. but in other parts of the u.s. the scenes a very different across the coun

turkey is expanding. i think there's some university branches or faculties that are being open. >> but is the world ever going to see that as legitimate are just a turkish occupation? >> by default it's occupation, by definition. but i'm not sure how party wants to go with that. it may depend on whether he can strike an agreement with assad and russian terms of what kind of autonomy will the kurds get, might threaten turkish kurds so to speak. it remains to be seen but i think the way it goes, it continues this way. i don't think will be a lot of legitimacy. no question. >> to this point and think it's an important point you made. i think the issue is he and will be whether come without putting the factor, what is playing out already rather than where the formal lines are we haven't talked at all about yemen on the panel. but to me the real interesting discussion about what's happening in human and whether they can be a resolution to the conflict, if you move beyond the politicized is what was yemen befor

turkey, like other nations, wants to shape the perception. it's been showing off a new mega hospital with locally made ventilators at the ready. turkey has more intensive care beds than many european countries and a much lower fatality rate from the virus. it denies deaths have been underreported. the health minister, fahrettin koca, says the country has given the world health organisation the information it wants in a transparent manner and will continue to do so. but the family of torhan kaya say there was no transparency about his death. the turkish actor, who was 69, died last month. his son theo says he had all the symptoms of covid—19 and was treated for it but tested negative, so it's not on his death cert. theo sent us this testimony. we were seeing each other a lot because he was more than a dad. he was really my best friend, actually, and we used to drink coffee, play tennis, run, etc. i would say that people in this harsh period need truth. they need the absolute truth because covid—19 and death itself isn't politics. i mean, y

turkey is saying a stink up turn in the number of new cases of coronavirus at this critical moment is the health care system. but it's very difficult to say it's hard very hard to get in the pendant of reports from the turkish hospitals which are very much under constrict control of reporting early were cases of doctors speaking out on social media resulted in several cases them being removed from their post some facing even possible prosecution so it's very hard to get concrete details the ministry of health says that they have from social media of people being turned away from hospital saying that they are full of who to verify but even though turkey does have a pretty good medical service even though it's a relative peace pandemic could yet cause major problem to turkey's medical services daryn at this stage do we know is the lockdown likely to be extended. well that's another big question the fact that people only receive 2 hours' notice of this latest move it's are unclear whether this curfew could be possibly extended they are as awareness of this problem is continuing to escala

it's not that way in turkey. so that's why i'm glad i have a club here rather than turkey. song. a different band takes to the stage most nights at the. most abundant jazz club is known for its intimate atmosphere there's only room for around $200.00 guests. at the n.h.l. institutional in the german capital. although. what makes any organizer happiest is seeing his location full. when the guests come and you see the joy in their faces that makes me very happy. just as. sudden has run the task since 1997. that's when i wanted to make an announcement. i know that i was really nervous. he's proud that some of the biggest names in jazz have to. like american jazz pianist heavy hancock for. musicians like herbie hancock and marcus miller who performed here do it as a one off thing. they do it to support this club. that was the idea behind it at the time. they were once young and unknown to where did they get their start where did they hone their craft. includes. german style trump. is a regular guest at the. his career began here and he's still good friends with. the nonstop spy whene
