Courts takes an unprecedented stand against Racial Injustice basketball leads a boycott of games following the Police Shooting of a wisconsin resident complained. 24 hours ago turkey warned greece not to test its patients now it is revealed what that actually meant so he will hold live firing exercises in these to make the east mediterranean next week the latest escalation in a maritime dispute with greece over control of potential oil and gas reserves both countries have been holding military drills already near a patch of sea which they both claim the turkish. And is also extending the work of its vessel conducting seismic surveys of the area and greece is expected to ratify a maritime agreement with egypt which turkey opposes so theres a lot going on there also germanys top diplomat has been calling for an end to the exercises as the e. U. Tries to pull greece and turkey back from the risk of confrontation spoke at a meeting of e. U. Foreign ministers in berlin. We will see how things develop at the end of this month where the ships will move to and we will also work here to create the conditions for turkey and greece to solve their problems directly with each other and to do Everything Possible to avoid military confrontation so well have more on that position with dominic cain in berlin in just a moment but were starting in istanbul on the news hour with new sim. As i said it was that that word dont test our patience which is what he said and now quite an escalation in. Well yes come on there has been explanation for a while but were also hearing constructive messages from both greece and turkey side the spite threats also take place for instance today turkeys defense minister was host of live on a t. V. Show and he said that turkey is open to dialogue turkey is open to find a solution but 1st all the problems must be a rest and sold before coming to a solution wouldnt come so turkeys systemic operations. In the. Mediterranean the defense minister who sarkar said that we are doing all our facilities in the in the area that is over the defined turkey has submitted its coordinates to the u n 20 years ago and the latest one was back in 2900 according to the un says the law of the convention the un doesnt assign you any border its not like continental territory or land territory the water territory case is different so it gives you some it defined to. Some definitions but it is up to the 2 countries to decide and come to a solution so actually this is a by later problem between turkey and greece that they have to agree on a fair share of rights and resources this is what the Turkish Foreign minister defense minister has been saying that but he sat everybody must know that if there is a threat coming from those territories against turkey we will be defending defending ourselves and we are a capital maybe what turkey has been but there it is actually in its 3rd parties being involved like france and the u. A. E. Because turkey says that military exercises and Maritime Training exercises even the words if i live life fires are conducted within turkeys territorial waters. Not in a way that is actually. Violating greek waters thats why they say why those 3rd parties are involved and this is seen like as a threat then provocation by the turks but Turkish Defense minister said that the older they have 3 meetings with greek counterparts in both athens and the turkish capital ankara a 4th was scheduled it was supposed to happen now we are waiting for our greek counterparts to decide whether to conduct a day or not if they decide to we are happy to host them in the turkish capital ankara but of course we have to preserve our rights and we have to find a fair solution for Food Distribution of waters and the resources under the waters this is what the turkish say ok. In istanbul thank you for that dominic. Making the point there that the turks and the greeks have been talking bilaterally at least but europe has very much involved itself and will be clinging on to that idea that these 2 sides will still want to talk in the light of this escalation. The ministerial mantra here has been to emphasize the virtues of dialogue and deescalation we heard it from haiku mass weve heard it also from an interested observer in this. Meeting thats. The secretary general of nato who said specifically that precisely that that dialogue and deescalation all the ways out of this particular dial emma but the problem in so far as the e. U. Is concerned is that turkey is not part of the e. U. And yet it is very important to the e. U. Remember that the deal between the turkish government and the e. U. Regarding refugees is a central plank of policy something that matters particularly here in this capital city in berlin and so clearly where possible the e. U. Wants to remain on very good terms with the turkish government but then equally it has to remember that 2 Member States of the e. U. Greece and cyprus also have a vested interest in whats going on in the Eastern Mediterranean which again is why what theyve been really urging here is dialogue and deescalation specifically that came from angle americal who said shes particularly concerned about how things are unfolding in the Eastern Mediterranean. Thats dominant cain updating us on the european side of things there from berlin thank you dominic were on to other news on the president of belarus is accusing western countries of waging a diplomatic war to exploit instability there russia has also said that Alexander Lukashenko has asked for help to create a reserve police force but in a putin said Russian Police would only be sent to belarus if the situation quote spins out of control protesters and a growing number of striking workers demanding political change of course accused of rigging his reelection earlier this month. In moscow for us now xandra one of a good word to take us through this what do you think are the shots is really here of Russian Police or russian presence being deployed in belarus. Well there is actually very hard to tell at this point we heard a confirmation from the top of russia which is like the russian president Vladimir Putin that said that on the request or a question called he did form the reserve a task force of Law Enforcement that are going to act only if the situation spirals out of control only if as he said extremist elements try to create chaos started burning cars banks try to takeover by violence or official buildings and saying that this is not happening so far now he was actually quoting 2 treaties one is the collective security treaty and the other is states union state between russia and belarus are saying that they ease. Their death would allow this the thing with the security the collective security treaty is it actually refers to external threats so some 3rd party threatening one of the Member States as for union states there is there a point which says that protecting libyan democracy public order but it is very way because this state actually union state has not been fully formulated and fully created and that is actually due to the look of shame cause resisting that before his election and before he ended up with so many people on the street now putin also said that. These protests cannot be ignored these people wanting good changes cannot be ignored and they should be talked to but at the same time he said the coalition of opposition is sort of not the ones to talk to he didnt say that directly but he said the Constitutional Court court in about us said no not constitutional. So whether he will deploy troops depends on how the situation develops for a look at shanghai himself and how much russia is willing to go into this adventure which potentially can if it really comes to Russian Troops being deployed to their strange population which generally is not against cooperation with russia for them this is not about east in the west this is about them one thing to go away then one thing Fair Elections alexander leave that story there for a moment if you could just stay there for a 2nd i want to address Something Else here coming out of moscow that is russias top prosecutor saying there is no indication of a crime involving the Opposition LeaderAlexei Novell mature remember this one hes been in a coma for a week after collapsing on a flight in russia doctors at the berlin hospital where hes being treated say his medical examination suggests he was poisoned but moscow is demanding to see those medical files insisting the diagnosis is in conclusive so alexander does rupture or for any other explanation or is just saying no it wasnt poisoning. Well on the official level russia is actually saying that no one knows what happened to alexina valley there is no proof going either way it could be anything basically and no one should claim its poisoning they say until we have solid proof and moreover no one should claim it was deliberate poisoning so we from official line this is the official line from up from officials like we dont know and we should wait and see and we wanted to see the proof and thats no criminal investigation is possible because there is no proof of foul play and officially we have threw up all sorts of analysts and all sorts of a lower officials all sorts of theories being placed to the public like he could have eaten something or there was some medicine he took or maybe he was on a diet these is a sort of a creating a cloud of dust to obscure and that is not the 1st time such a tactic has been employed from a repeat official level they insist that no one knows and that also what the german doctors said that he its what it was an intoxication it here because of cholera nester eyes theyre saying they did not find a toxin they did not find poisoning and they jump to the conclusion of intoxication and since these same state lower ends him was also found the by the russian doctors but no analysis show no traces of poison so at this level it stays at the 3 investigation level of sort of Fact Checking but no criminal case opened whatsoever at the same time russia is official requesting from germany to send the proofs of the claims of the german doctors as well as all the medical files and analysis done from the point he and 30 he was placed in the plane and further on in the hospital example of a church good for keeping us up to date with events in russia today thank you. Were almost a quarter past the hour heres whats coming up were looking at the Foreign Policy legacy of president Donald Trumps 1st term in office so why smoke from fires in the amazon rain forest could worsen the coronavirus death toll and in sport 2 time grand slam champion says its time for tennis to take a backseat. The latest on hurricane laura now which is battering the Southern United States with forecasters have warned of survivable storm surges. Laura has been downgraded from a category 4 to a category 2 storm but that still means top wind speeds of almost 180 Kilometers Per Hour winds of thousands of people are without power and the governor of louisiana is worried that some coastal residents who were issued with evacuation orders have actually ignored them. Which is in lake charles louisiana which is taking the full force of the storm heres his report. Thankfully we are getting a bit of a break the wind has died down the rain has stopped for now well continue to see a bit of that spinning rain and some wind gusts for the next hour or so as the storm finally clears all the way out of this area but lake whole think of the wreck that last night burst the storm makes landfall about all 3035 miles to the south and cameron in the move in and a process that didnt and as it did it wreaked havoc here we know that flooding is an issue and will continue to be the water is still building hundreds of thousands are without power not only in this area but that power is going to be lost as the storm continues to push to the north in an eventual leak off to the east its still going to be a powerful storm at that time as well look we know theres significant damages to buildings here we dont have a good handle on all of that because when still some strong for teams to really get out at this point power lines are down flooding and pockets of this city are just too intense but again if things are really up in the next hour still well get a much better idea of the then of the damage. So thats the story from louisiana well go wider now with andy gallica following things from miami you know the storm came ashore pretty much actually on the border wasnt it louisiana and texas where else has it gone and what other reports are coming in. Well the big headline yesterday was that the storm surge would be in the words of the National Hurricane center unsurvivable that didnt come to pass we didnt get those 6 meters storm surges that were predicted so there is somewhat of good news coming out of that area but it seems the storm track slightly to the east so it impacted louisiana more than it did texas and weve already got governor john Ballard Woods of louisiana reporting the 1st death of 14 Year Old Girl died in a home when a tree fell on it but as jay said the true extent of the damage here will not be known until search and rescue crews can get out into those low lying communities south of his location because thats the real concern at the moment certainly when this storm hit those 2 coastlines the winds were in excess of 200 Kilometers Per Hour we expect catastrophic damage more than half a 1000000 people now in both of those states without power you were talking about people that didnt have people often misunderstand that mandatory evacuations can be ignored but a lot of people were simply afraid of the pandemic as well they didnt want to go to evacuees in shelters so that has a real concern i think for the Emergency Services and officials as they head southwards down into those very fragile delicate low lying communities to see what they will find at the moment its too dangerous for those crews to get out on the ground because the winds are still so strong but certainly the tidal surge coming in wasnt nearly as high as forecast is as predicted so were at the end of august now and how long just more widely for viewers who dont know does this storm season go on because i mean there was another storm wasnt there mark which was supposed to hit at the same time. Yeah i mean its 6 months of the year the Hurricane Season the atlantic Hurricane Season lasts 6 months they get it but in in my experience covering hurricanes for the last 20 years its normally september thats the busy year remember in 2017 when we had about 3 major hurricanes come into the United States so they do seem to be happening a little earlier that Climate Change is also playing a role according to scientists they are now lingering for longer they all whites are in potentially stronger but i think the thing that might have saved these 2 states from absolutely catastrophic and unsurvivable damage is that this storm sped up so quickly as it approached the coastline if you look at katrina back in 2005 that had become a category 5 for a good deal of time before it but coastline therefore had more power to push that surge in line so that maybe a small mercy for the state of louisiana in particular but as daylight comes as the search crews go out into these low lying communities we will get a better picture of just how about hurricane laura has been for those 2 states ok thank you for that update Andy Gallacher in miami right staying in the u. S. Donald trump says federal troops are being sent to assist the National Guard following a 4th night of black lives matter protests in connection with the constant around 500 guards and now in the city where police shot and paralyzed like american jacob blake on sunday during protests on tuesday 2 people were shot dead and a 17 year old suspect has been arrested and charged more now from john hendren reporting from connection. Hundreds of Law Enforcement agents at all levels are descending on the small city of can osha where local police have struggled to quell escalating violence. The ramping up of Law Enforcement follows a fatal fight between protesters and a teenager who fired an assault weapon on demonstrators killing 2 and wounding one. Using video from the scene sheriffs deputies arrested 17 year old Kyle Rittenhouse emanuel and then we are going to blame it on everybody else it was not clear whether rittenhouse was among the armed militia members who verbal e clashed with protesters after days of looting arson in violent clashes the city has responded with a new curfew were not going to put up with what we saw monday night were not going to is that mean were going to stop it all. It comes on numbers that come were not to be able to stop it all but were going to be assertive in helping to protect the city at the notion that. The governor has called in a broad array of Law Enforcement from across the state of wisconsin the region and the federal government governor tony even has called in 500. 00 more military troops from the National Guard to join hundreds of local police and sheriffs deputies in riot gear President Trump offered up federal troops saying toda
