One minute past eight pm here in the russian capital thursday january twenty fifth im you know neal this is our t. International our top story President Trump is in the swiss resort of davos for the World Economic forum hes already spoken to british Prime Minister trees in may when our team. Is there to. After their meeting both donald trump interest in may talked about how wonderful their conversation was how much they appreciated meeting one another and what a wonderful relationship the two countries have with one another donald trump went on to say that he really respects theresa may and that contrary to what some may believe they do have a wonderful relationship. Have a great age. Dont really believe that but i mean. That if you. Like he showed a lot of that idea that the two countries still have a special relationship comes just weeks after donald trump canceled his visit to the u. K. To open the new u. S. Embassy there the president said that he canceled the visit simply because he thought that the deal that was brokered to sell the old embassy was a bad one but many did see that as a bit of a dent in that special relationship donald trump is here at the Davos World Economic Forum with his America First montra most likely going to dominate his speech tomorrow and his meeting with World Leaders throughout the next two days now trying to transportation secretary said yesterday that if anyone doesnt like that message theyre more than welcome to not let. America first is a continuation of the american affirmation of american exceptionalism so i dont think well i think this you know all these questions are why the president is coming and again i think very flattered that he has chosen this as a forum. And so those that dont want to listen to him you can they can lead you know this is part of what discourse and discussion is all about will have to wait and see if anyone takes her up on that suggestion and does leave during his speech tomorrow now meanwhile weve heard already from across and merkel and they both had sort of europe first message that they were putting out which maybe isnt as nationalist as america for. But its not globalist either which is a bit strange in the studying of this forum lets take a lesson it isnt gentlemen my my my first missy he said france is back france is back at the call of europe because we will never have any french success is without a european success if between our twenty seven Member States were not able to send a clear and united message to major powers such as china india and the United States if Foreign Policy is made on the National Level then we will feel that. And today during teresa mayes speech at the conference she also had similar stuntmans talking about how the u. K. Would be one of the best places to open a company or to work on ai a lot of we would be the best country to open new businesses to start new things in the safest country to be on the internet so a lot of that sort of idea of european leaders looking at their own countries in europe as a whole as a leading force but of course we still have the rest of the day and one more day tomorrow of davos and with the what else comes out of it we discuss the upcoming talks with economist field. What do i expect from mr trumps visit to davos dolphin lots of security and police and army also youve got to bear in mind that mr trump is a stable genius as he puts it he likes to be astride the world stage so i think because the midst of the president of china was the great favorite star at davos last year i think mr trump wants to be the star this year i think that will be a lot of politicians wanting to speak to the gallery mr trump will be wanting to play to his Political Base over in the state so he wants will want to be seen to be talking tough and in a similar fashion mr mack wrong mrs merkel whos still trying to form a government in germany will also be wanting to be seen to be supporting their National Self interest so i suspect were going to be seeing quite a few fireworks. Turkeys foreign minister has hit out at the u. S. Saying he doesnt believe washington is a trustworthy partner it comes as tensions escalate between the two nato allies over turkeys offensive against the u. S. Backed kurdish militias in Northern Syria which ankara described as terrorist groups. Or took most of the u. S. Hasnt kept any promises mr trump told president on the phone that no more workers will be given to the were. Going to see you go into action. Whats your account now joins me live from washington with more details in the sim youre do we know more about what was said in the phone call and indeed why the two leaders spoke at this stage. Well tensions between the u. S. And turkey have been escalating ever since the u. S. Announced its collaboration with Kurdish Forces in Northern Syria and latest attempts to ease the tensions appear to have gone wrong as well and now the Turkish Foreign minister says that the u. S. Has misrepresented what was said in a recent phone call between trouble and aired on President Trump relayed concerns the escalating violence in africa syria risks undercutting i shared goals in syria he urged taking to deescalate limit his military actions and avoid civilian casualties. The one time statement about the content of the phone call between trump and i was one was probably drafted before the conversation took place because it did not reflect the truth well turkey says that trump did not express concern over the socalled escalating violence and it was just an exchange of views now the call comes after encore announced that it would be extending its military operation in syria to the kurdish held city of beach and the operation has been going on for already a week now with casualties and deaths from both sides but neither side appears to be willing to wave a white flag but here is a key quick recap of how the situation looks on the ground. I. Well the situation has been brewing for a while now but it doesnt seem that the u. S. Is helping the issue so were just going to have to see what happens you have potentially a lot of from vacations to the similar can from washington d. C. This hour thank you very much well lets bring in our mcgann from turkeys ruling justice on the developing party to that try and answer some of those queries are very welcome first of all are you able to comment on what was discussed during the leaders phone call in particular did donald trump voice concerns over escalating levels of violence and why is there now this dispute. The speech the speech to that was actually. Between two leaders actually made it was actually clear in the statements of turkey we didnt understand why. U. S. Authorities made the statement. In this breach. Or minister made it very clear what was discussed and weve been very clear. Weve been very clear on this issue since the beginning for restate the g. s that there is the organization it is not it is not on the benefit or you know its been a little Syrian People to come but the terrorist organization is flourishing in syria well the relations between your two countries they are diminishing it seems at a rapid rate because of this what can the u. S. Do to regain turkeys trust then it in your eyes. United states is one of our long long kind of middle lies and its a nato member and in the relationship we understand that there might be disagreements but how there were we would like our u. S. Consular park to understand the sensitivities of the situation because we are talking about a terrorist organization that kidnap children farms and suicide bombs i mean in last two. Months its been more than seven hundred attacks from the other side of the border to turkey it is now not only a small disagreement its a nation trip to turkey and we have to take that with a sense of mission as well as we speculate states immunity but all the International Yeah sorry for interrupting but of course that there is the argument of course isnt there that if we take a step back and look at this what right does turkey actually have to be invading Northern Syria and attacking the kurds there especially when they were instrumental in defeating Islamic State in that country let me correct that we are not taking kurds in and indeed we are trying to solve we are trying to protect the kurds and security and chroma terrorist organization that indeed makes the suffering in the atrocities to curts that first place i mean when we have the have accepted or were over two hundred thousand kurdish refugees from syria theres no escape from why p. G. And i says and we have seen clearly of footage that isis why puji cooperated in some areas of syria and now we are told king about the terrorist organization is no different than isis ok there is a just accept what happens next do you think if the Turkish Military does head for monday start there is a real threat of confrontation with u. S. Troops as had been said. We have made it very clear that our red line is the worst and puttered of you freights and United States p. G. A. Even the made it very clear that they will leave room beach is in our up town now under way pujol completion and we are very clear that is long as the wife could use things and diverse. Its a Nation Security trip to turkey just like we have taken the necessary measures in our free we would do the same image ok how to ruin our mcgann from the ruling turkish justice and developing party thank you very much for your take this i think in an. Eight pakistani doctor who was the key to finding the some of bin laden looks set to spend the rest of his life in jail pakistans authorities have accused him of helping militants and arrested him soon after the u. S. Operation in may twentieth eleven two american president s have promised to get him released but its now been seven years right because the if has more. You can argue dr Shaquille Afridi helped catch the centurys most wanted man the man who did this. Right here right here in. The. Sama bin laden you can also argue he was a traitor and a fraud it all depends on where you are from the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama Bin Laden the leader of al qaeda tonight we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome gratitude though has its limits dr afridi set up a Fake Vaccination Program in the area bin laden was hiding in in order to collect his familys d. N. A. And give the cia proof he was there clever shortly after bin laden was eliminated dr afridi was arrested by pakistani intelligence and sentenced to thirty three years he was charged. In. Two thousand and eleven of being money to the militants that. He was assisting in medical term that he was making some. News a hospital i met him in. In june and he said that i am innocent and the charges they are totally illegal dr afridi was first accused of aiding local militants and then of murdering a patient though how fair those charges is debatable bomber tried and failed to get him out donald trump well trump is trump you you think. Get the doctor out and yes i do i think i would get him out in two minutes i would tell them let him out and im sure theyd let him out it didnt fly its even upset the pakistanis a little being threatened with blackmail its been almost two years since trump made his boast stand nothing the man who helped catch some of bin v. Icon of terrorism is rotting away in jail we believe dr afridi has been unjustly imprisoned and have clearly communicated our position to pakistan on dr afridis case both in public and in private and the us well do they bring it up once in a while thats what gratitude is worth nowadays we spoke with political analyst java about what the future holds for. Us pakistan relations continue to sour so i think theres a question of this of an interview of some snow here it is not the question that i want to read the marquis had the americans in in look at in a somber love and a pakistani establishment see that the it wasnt that on pakistans intelligence and the military because that man was not supposed to provide any assistance to the american cia in look at the Us Army London i dont think pakistan would get whatever country applying to be a dick and release and the reason being is quite simple because. China hasnt rested fifty six billion dollars in this in this one of the prime projects so focused on is not longer financially dependent on americans as it used to be done ten years ago or five years ago you have no longer dependent on american aid we dont need it i think i have believed that funnels on ever listen to the americans when it comes to a different strategic interest. An update on russias Winter Olympics i guess right after this stay with our team. Other tax reform bill next year just simplified bringing a flat tax. Cut will bring in the fifteen percent tax rate across the board what should be the best possible solution to the. Question in the u. S. You know one of the things we saw in this entire Campaign Leading up to trumps election was very little discussion of the facts nobody said look you know you may be the smartest person in the world in your area of treating people in the Real Estate Market but when it comes to actually understand economics you have no background i think any you know good economists could possibly have won that election. The press paid attention to the. Minutes into the program youre welcome back Russias Olympic Committee has condemned the list of its athletes to compete in the Winter Olympics russias most prominent sportsmen and women have been excluded the total number of those allowed to go to south korea next month has been reduced from an initial five hundred person squad to one hundred sixty nine athletes the head of the Russian Committee is demanding justice for the competitors. Who will stand for the interests of all its we are sure theyre clean we havent had any claims in terms of doctrine but the list doesnt include russia smallest prominent athletes. Ok lets cross live night or tease me if im not who has been following developments on this it does seem like a never ending saga this doesnt it weve just two weeks away from the Opening Ceremony maria what does this mean for the russian athletes. Well it could be a said news but there is actually no surprise we heard about russias leading athletes not invited to the games in pyongyang this february several days ago now the countrys Olympic Committee has just confirmed among those who did not receive the official invitation they were hoping to receive it last minute are six time elaine pick champion in short trick skating victor on a crosscountry skier said again girlfriend two thousand and fourteen olympic Gold Medalist in the affluent and torn she pool and heres his reaction. I was shocked by the news i thought of leaving everything behind and returning home it was my dream to compete in the olympics and i was working towards the goal through hundreds and thousands of difficulties through sweat and blood throughout my sporting career i have never given any one reason to doubt that im clean ive even avoided taking ordinary determines thats why its more difficult for me to accept whats happened i was devastated by grief after receiving this terrible news later on i realized that you should never give up life doesnt and its important to carry on you should fight to protect your name right to the end earlier in december the international Olympic Committee bend russia from participating in the upcoming winter Olympic Games in pyongyang and it followed the investigation over alleged doping allegations and there were several athletes involved dozens of them have been banned from participating disqualified but russias biggest concern now is that many of those who did not receive the invitation to the games their names never emerged in connection with this candle and its quite clear what is behind banning them from participating in the Olympic Games the association of International OlympicWinter Sports for the ration has already asked the international Olympic Committee to explain the move. It is very sad if there is no direct proof of guilt the i. B. U. Tested human numerous occasions and never tested positive for a banned substance. Earlier they had of the international Olympic Committee has said that the committee wants to invite socalled russias clean athletes and in such a way somehow encourage new young generation of sportsmen of from country but the biggest concern is that many of those who were not invited are in fact representing these very young a new generation mr barch mentioned and another concern is that they sneeze just two weeks before the games start to it actually means that the chances are very low that sportsmen could fight for their right back to you you know it is definitely a disappointing day for those are the two are not going to be going after having never doped in their careers maria with the latest on the thing. Just a little bit more to update you on the i. O. C. The recently released information on why some russian ark leads have been excluded from the Upcoming Games they cover seventeen points focusing on alleged violations the reviewed information
