Congress signed a personal appeal from President Trump has convinced president other one to release any of the dozen or so americans detained currently in turkey edgar said skinners a turkey specialist at the Risk Consultancy group i. H. S. Market joins me now from london good to have you with us on aljazeera but lets just begin with the fact that this issue of detaining a severe Turkish National who happens to work in the American Embassy is actually part of a much larger broader issue about the way turkey and the u. S. Seem to be on different sides of the fence when it comes to issues of syria relationships with iran or even neighboring countries in the region. Very much so this is but the latest episode of what has been a series of disagreements between the two nato allies. We have seen the two countries disagree about the u. S. Support for syrian kurds in the past several years in the Syrian Civil War they have disagreed about various other issues and another important aspect we cant forget is the continued residence of the islamic cleric fit a lot better than in the us which is leading a lot of people in the turkish government and the wider turkish population for that matter to perceive the us as having had a finger in the two thousand and sixteen coup attempts and there is no evidence necessarily pointing in that direction but this is the perception nonetheless and thats what matters. And this is really weighing down on the relations between the two countries and if it is weighing down on the relation between the two countries and you have you might say both sides trying to find a way forward how do you see that actually do you might see a crack in the stalemate that were seeing because all we see is a ratcheting up of tension and in this case diplomatic an activity. I mean what we have seen this morning i think is very important the Justice Minister in turkey announced that or he denied rather that there had to be in yet another arrest warrant issued in the aftermath of the emergence of the crisis yesterday i think thats a very important indicator pointing that turkey is probably unwilling to escalate further there will want to see attempts from the u. S. Probably to initiate some dialogue but importantly i think its turkey recognizing the red line that the u. S. Has now drawn and that right red line is ok we have seen all that has happened in turkey since the last year but if this is going to extend to our own employees in turkey whether or not theyre turkish citizens were not going to let that happen and i think statements by president the one about the matter will be crucial to show as which direction theyre willing to take would have to be chosen very carefully certainly by the respective president s of the administrations but is this one really more so for the diplomats to work you might say behind the scenes now because as you say red lines have been drawn turkey of the United States our nato allies they Work Together when it comes to issues in syria that they in fact have been backing different sides in the scenario its hard to find a way forward perhaps if you are drawing red lines and youre trying to find a way forward at the same time. Let me try to describe the relationship like this the two countries are so entrenched in so many ways economically also in terms of turkeys security infrastructure its membership in the nato its reliance on us the Nuclear Umbrella sort of speak all of these factors that entrenched the two countries into this alliance however as we see more and more often these various spots occurring these disagreements these. Sentimental crevices and merging between the two countries that will contribute to a longer term shift of turkey away from the United States. And we will see probably the country seek to rekindle its ties with various other are turning to as we have definitely seen president do on voice such intentions but again this is not something to you can do overnight and any speculation about turkey having now become a russian ally as opposed to its alliance with the u. S. These are exaggerated these things take much longer time and then than that indeed will have to and see what does happen certainly in the coming weeks for the moment and i said can thanks very much for joining us from our london studio. At least twelve people have drowned after a boat carrying ranger refugees from bangladesh capsized ten of them were children mohammed is following developments in coxs bazaar in southern bangladesh. With the news that yet another boat full of refugees capsized while it was attempting to cross from me and more to bangladesh comes another reminder of the magnitude of this refugee crisis and the fact that our hands are refugees are still trying to flee and come into bangladesh this area you see behind me these people that are here they all crossed by foot into bangladesh just earlier today weve heard horrific tales from them about what happened to them was a woman over there who told us that her husband was executed in the past week by me and mars military theres a young boy over here showed us a wound on his legs that he got that when the mean more army shot at the group that he was with very sad stories more reminders that this exodus doesnt seem as though it will in anytime soon thats one reason why aid groups humanitarian organizations are so concerned about the plight of these people while saying in the region the International Committee of the red cross says it will reduce its operations in afghanistan Seven Members of its staff of being killed the six died in an attack on an aid convoy in february and last month a physiotherapist was shot dead by one of her own patients another four workers have been abducted but the i. C. R. C. Says that a lot be leaving the country altogether. Exposure to release has become. Our greatest challenge. We know that there is no zero risk in afghanistan and we are not aiming at that we dont want to build. Differently our security than we have always done our security is built on acceptance and dialogue and that. Meaningful service is that get and be provided to people the u. N. Says a peacekeeper has been killed and twelve others injured in an attack on a military base in the democratic republic of congo the attack took place near the northeastern city of ben i theres been a fresh outbreak of violence in the region where ethnic tensions are high and soldiers have been battling the allied Democratic Forces a group dominated by hardline Ugandan Muslims spains deputy Prime Minister is warning that the madrid government will act on any catalan declaration of independence so rare say as has labeled the castle and president a fanatic she supported by spains socialist leader Petro Sanchez who says his party will back the government if it takes action. You know yes but you know. If the cattle on president declares you know actually independence we will have to take measures and that decision will be made by the government of spain we will try to have other political groups join us but as im saying that declaration will have a response is that convincing enough. Or lets join join the whole now whos a life for us in boston of course the focus of attention is on the court where you are the significance obviously is bringing in the National Police to god that quarter of one wonders why thats been done. Yes this is news today the building behind me there the superior. Tribunals of justice of catalonia its the highest court here in catalonia subject to the Supreme Court in madrid alone as autonomy doesnt extend to do judiciary and what seems to have happened here is that the president of this court made a request to the Supreme Court asking for units of the Guardia Seville the National Police to be brought in to stand alongside them or sourced squad rather let alone his police force to guard this building in anticipation of what may happen tomorrow tuesday when carlos preached to mark the regional president s address parliament some believe he may unilaterally declare independence now why does that matter here well because there is a transition nor passed by a couple of Years Parliament in september before the referendum setting out what would happen if catalonia declared independence as it went about setting up a sort of infrastructure the fabric of state and one of those things is that this court would immediately no longer be considered a National Court it would become a catalonian court catalonians highest court again and of course there are worries about what may happen to the people who were there so the Supreme Court complied quote in order to preserve the integrity of the current tribunals and all who were there so a move here certainly in and to ship it to separation of what happens tomorrow but not as some people have been suggesting part of a process of triggering section one five five that clause of the constitution that you heard the deputy Prime Minister talking about there by which catalonia is autonomy would be revoked and replaced by direct rule although the threat of that remains very much on the table but the pressure to use article one five five seems to be mounting so if there is such a declaration in real terms jonah what could we see on the streets or in the political circle. Both madrid and barcelona in terms of reacting to article one five five. Well in a sense so while nobody knows this is not a clause thats ever been used before there is a procedure in place a procedure that may take some time it requires the government in madrid to forewarn the government here that it is intending to use section one five five because to give the government here time to comply to return to the rule of law or to put right the things that are seem to be wrong and then the government has to go to the senate in madrid where it has a majority it has to be said but go to the senate and the senate then has to look at the way that the process has unfolded to see that compliance has has been correctly done check whether catalonia has made right the things that are wrong and only then does section one five five effectively come into force so the question of what happens in the minutes and days after a declaration of independence were to happen suppose tomorrow evening i think its pretty unclear exactly what that would entail although looking at the rising tensions in the last two weeks here in catalonia anything is possible both of them will leave it there of course follow events coming out of barcelona and madrid for the moment jonah thanks so much. Plenty more ahead here on the aljazeera news hour including britains office of communications rules and aljazeera is favor after we exposed israels campaign to smear critics of their Foreign Policy plus one of the middle easts internal issues water becomes a factor in the kurds push for independence. And a very Public Statement from the Vice President as mike pence walks the house often an et al game over dealing players those details coming up with joe and sports. At least ten people have been killed in airstrikes in syrias itll a province despite it being part of a deescalation zone there were chaotic scenes in the popular market town of a woman in in the aftermath of the bombing sources on the ground believe the strikes were launched by Syrian Government warplanes most of the victims are believed to have been civilians. And it looks increasingly likely that syrian president bashar assad will stay in power following the six and a half years of a brutal civil war focus is already shifting to reconstruction of towns and cities reduced to rubble in the conflict many countries are already preparing to cash in especially neighboring lebanon in just a report from the port city of tripoli tripoli port has been running below capacity for years but operators arent is the painting that will soon change the huge terminal is just twenty eight kilometers from the Syrian Border and the lebanese government is positioning itself as a major player in the reconstruction of syria when the giant task of rebuilding the country destroyed by war will begin is anyones guess fighting continues in northern and Eastern Syria as well as in small areas around the capital damascus. But after a series of major victories president Bashar Al Assad and the Syrian Government is looking increasingly likely to retain power over large areas of the country introducing an element of stability into economic forecasts not protected by economists since the war started six years ago then the close struction all said he had to mention has been so much in the news lately this has given a lot of hype if you want to get on that lebanon and that to put it can play and this hopefully will. Serve our interests tripoli port is nearing the completion of the first phase of an expansion project first drawn up in two thousand and nine then revised last year with an eye on syrias reconstruction regeneration of the port hasnt gone unnoticed by allies of the Assad Government including russias and bassett or to lebanon b. A. P. Visitor on a recent government organized tour the World Bank Estimates it will cost around two hundred billion dollars to rebuild syria for lebanon that could be just the economic stimulus that it needs for the past five years its Economic Growth rate has hovered at around one and a half percent and its hoped that this port will lead the way and bring it goes numbers up the lebanese government estimate syrias construction boom will create a demand for thirty million tons of Cargo Capacity annually which has a
