Again i visit w watching aljazeera live from doha also coming up will be live in germany where World Leaders and top policymakers amusing for the annual Munich Security Conference. Political uncertainty in ethiopia after the sudden resignation of the Prime Minister haile mariam desolate. Also this hour why the Lunar New Year is a time of both celebration and sadness for some families in south korea. Ok our top story the u. S. And turkey have agreed to mend relations and Work Together over the war in syria secretary of state Rex Tillerson has been holding talks with his turkish counterpart this method of a sword in ankara both sides admitted ties had reached crisis point over the u. S. Support for kurdish fighters in syria jamal al sheil is in ankara hell. Rex tillerson didnt receive the warmest of welcomes when he arrived in the turkish capital ankara turkey has been angered by u. S. Policy which it believes threatens its National Security and president. Made that clear during a three hour long meeting with the u. S. Secretary of state. In syria the United States has been arming and supporting the Kurdish Militia the y p g i turkey says the y p g is a terrorist organization thats killed dozens of talk of civilians and soldiers in recent weeks the support for the kurdish fighters has baffled the turks who say the americans should be siding with their nato allies and not with an outlaw group according to tillerson the disagreements over syria are being resolved and both ankara and washington will now be working towards the same goal our two countries share the same objectives in syria the defeat of isis. Secure and stable zones and independent and unified syria to listen and his counterparts. Announced that they did stablished the mechanism so that the two nato allies would be able to resolve all issues and thats a collaborates but no details were given and theres another problem this is not going away the continued refusal by the u. S. To extradite for no good in the mountains or cruises of orchestrating the tonight twenty sixteen felt. Only in fed up honest and invited me in relation to fit to land do we have evidence do we not have evidence can he be extradited or not rather than having these discussions in the press and in public we will have these discussions and Work Together on these issues thank you very much us talk as the nations have probably never been worse off but rex citizens visits seems to have been a positive one with their message that the two allies will start working together again whether they will succeed only time will tell. I dont see it. Ever him for is an associate professor at the Doha Institute for graduate studies he says there are still many unresolved issues despite the talk of progress. We have to understand there is a very strong anger on the turkish sides of the Foreign Policy of the United States dealing in the northern part of syria with the Kurdish Militias. Escalated by responding with the military operations in the Northern Syria and their. Condition as theyre. Seeing a lack of understanding from their from their strategic ally the United States to the head of National Security and on that on their seven borders you know. When he says that theyre fighting against turkey its very important to listen carefully to that authority that came from the press conference where in fact you notice that there is more of a tough rhetoric on the turkish side than that with the american better rick like the Turkish Foreign minister said that clearly that our relationship has been at the most a critical stage. Indicating that their dissatisfaction of the outcome of this meeting now on the other hand you know. That isnt saying that all of them in syria all of the seem so very broad vague statements and hes talking about i want to ship you know fighting together back in korea in the fiftys talking about this small man think relationship you know shoulder to shoulder so that was not very would reflected on the Turkish Foreign minister side and that the real issue is if member age that the. Source of the conflict for now actually that have not been talked about in a we that would give us signs for a position. Now going to live to the german city of munich in just a moment because the world has moved towards quote the brink of a significant conflict thats the warning from the chairman of the annual Munich Security Conference policymakers and experts have gathered in the german city to talk about Global Security challenges organizers say the role of the e. U. Will be one of the key issues up for discussion the gulf crisis north korea and the conflict in ukraine are also expected to be discussed our correspondent joins us live now from munich so hashim so many potential hot spots around the world that could get a lot more dangerous. Indeed peter this is a conference that comes against a backdrop of a white a ray of conflicts bearing up a different boss of the world war of words between the United States of america north korea over pyongyangs Nuclear Program the mounting tension between israel and iran and also the bible read between iran and saudi arabia over syria yemen and also iraq which will get about many issues the leaders Security Experts and officials are trying to debate over the coming days joining me to talk more about the challenges that the International Community faces is karyn von hippel she is director of the Royal United Services institute which is a defense and security think thank you very much indeed for joining us this is a conference that comes when the united he you seems to be concerned about the United States of america distancing itself from an order which it has created four decades ago and people here saying that if that order collapses we all walk into unchartered territory yes is there is a concern certainly last year at the munich conference dont forget trump had just been elected now its one year into his administration and there are concerns about the u. S. Pulling back from that leadership role it really has played since the Second World War now doesnt mean the entire situation collapses europe and other countries can step into that void and provide the right type of leadership i think the concern is if those countries dont do that then does leadership go to the highest bidder russia in one area iran and another area china in another area it might get very fragmented the downing of an israeli fighter jets a few days ago which was conduct an operation against iranian targets inside syria raises the question once again of potential confrontation between israel and iran after israel and iran if youre talking about syria but of course russia the United States turkey israel. Iran and some gulf countries are supporting various militias inside syria and there is a major concern right now that there could be some. Confrontations may be inevitable but are accidental confrontations between russia and the us between israel and on the Syrian Regime so theres that situation is this is just is very tense right now and theres also the growing rivalry between iran and saudi arabia over regional influence over who should have the biggest say in the region again i mean im not sure the growing its pretty major already its pretty wide rift right now be great if there were a country like the United States or the e. U. As an organization that could help pull people back from the brink and pull countries back from the brink not clear to me right now who is playing that mediating role and it really is needed right now maybe the u. N. Can do it but certainly we need to see more assertive leadership pushing for peace in these areas this is going to be my last question the munich security report which sets the tone for the summit expose distances over the whys of populist movements all over the wells the wet spots which are multiplying the potential for medical front ations all over the well the whys of groups like bicillin and affiliated in the region is this something which requires from the International Community a different approach to trying to contain those crises certainly maybe a different approach or to get back on the path that perhaps the International Community was on prior to trump getting elected i think his election has really thrown. Through and i dont know its there and its theres more disarray in the system and of course also brecks in the u. K. Has made the european situation also much more confusing and so really i think i think many countries and many people in different parts of the world are really just waiting for morris. Of leadership to really play a more proactive role for hippa thank you very much indeed and this explains why the e. U. Peter has been pretty much concerned about how to move forward and how all the parties can set their differences aside and try to chart a new platform to try to move forward and tackle the quizes that the world faces and some of which could turn into geopolitical confrontations one of those crises hashim the going to be talking about going to hear from the emir of qatar a little later in this will carry it live here on aljazeera of course but is there behind the scenes perhaps a realisation that that the blockade of cattle the blockade of of doha is being normalized because theres no one saying look we can get a route out of this and go back to where we were before and the status quo has kind of shifted now since what june the fifth june the sixth one since it all kicked off. Peter the report which was released by the Munich Security Conference expresses concerns about the ongoing located or impose on qatar and one of the reasons why theyre concerned is basically because when once you have a crisis in the region where some of your key allies are involved you would just watch and also undermine any chances to get all the allies together to tackle other issues that the International Community faces particularly the fight i guess i said in different parts of the world particularly the middle east and also rehabilitate in and with building places like. In iraq and this is going to be a platform for the emir of qatar just i mean but how much money to express of the same time the position of his country you remember back during the United NationsGeneral Assembly meeting and also the key its been no speech of the Shura Council in doha the m. E. s said that is willing to negotiate any way out diplomatically with its neighbors but at the same time he said theres absolutely no indication to suggest that the blockade in countries are willing to move forward and to resolve the problem qatar says that these are the no way you will meet some of the demands which were presented by the blockade in countries and you remember that includes shutting down the aljazeera channel and also downgrading ties with iran and shutting down the Turkish Military base those demands were rejected by the qatari government that was seen as violating its National Sovereignty so now. So far we have no indication from any party that would give us. Some sense of a diplomatic and to this. And i think the emir of qatar is going to take this opportunity to further say that this absolutely no way this could be used as an excuse particularly the demand as an excuse to turn into a pariah state in the region question will come back to the next half hour or so in the meantime many thanks. The coming out of south africas new leaders several rum opposable outline his priorities in the first states of the Union Address that hell deliver to the parliament his promise to revive the economy and to tackle corruption critics say that was widespread under the man who went before him jacob zuma matheson has more now from some way to run the post his hometown. For a lot of people several run up from the fifth and newest president of south africa is about to put his cards on the table. Is about to make a state of the nation address and a lot of people are going to be watching very closely and im of course has made a lot of promises his promise to fix the economy hes promised to do something about high crime rates on high unemployment but hes also promised to root out the corruption with that which is alleged to have permeated the way through government during the years of jacob zuma his predecessor some of the opposition say thats not his only problem is the other problem is his own party the ruling a. N. C. They say that the a. N. C. Isnt going to allow him to make any changes each year just going to keep things the way they are in the state of the nation address probably wont be able to answers to all these questions its probably more likely to be a broader approach to hopes and aspirations for south africa for the coming years but wrong thing is almost for certain its likely to be one of the most closely watched president ial addresses for many years in south america for me the milage joins us live now from cape town for me to what can we expect from the new president. There will certainly be a lot of emphasis on the Economy Development and creating jobs long still the new president i did say that he wanted to create a one million jobs course of africans and up primarily through state the Manufacturing Sector so people will be watching out to see exactly what he outlines now something thats the last week i am still ramapo son has been committed to in the last disabled. Years is this idea of radical Economic Transformation investors will want to know exactly what that entails this radical economy transformation of timothy would want to transfer control of the economy into black hands and there is some concern around what exactly land expropriation without compensation means to rim of course or did last just say he supports this idea but he wouldnt want the Agricultural Sector or food. Production to be affected in any way so ultimately people are watching to see what he does around the economy what this idea of a new deal means and also what he will do to stamp out corruption a very successful businessman in his own right a very wealthy successful businessman i guess theyll be looking to see if he can bring some of that Business Savvy to running the country to running the economy. But we do know since the room of course it was named president of the African National congress the ruling party on south africa we saw the rand strengthen immediately and that trend has not continued after he was sworn in as president of south africa just yesterday so we distort that hes background both as a unionist and as in business would definitely inform some of these decisions Going Forward people will also be watching to see what he does around the finance ministry in particular its been surrounded by a lot of controversy in the last couple of years and thats when former president jacob zuma changed ministers a number of times at one time putting in somebody that was loyal to him but had absolutely no background in finance no one in even heard of this really allowed for the South African economy to suffer jacob zuma as presidency really was one that didnt help the political and Economic Situation here in south africa so people are waiting to see what seoul remark was of all do around the finance ministry if the existing finance minister will stay or that will change but this is a man who is known to be a strategist a good negotiator and certainly his background would benefit him Going Forward the media will come back to the next half hour or so in the meantime thank you.
