Is over he lays the blame squarely on israel and donald trump. Plus will have all the goals from the weekends bundesliga matches dortmund were looking to fill the gap left after pierre and mark obama was dropped again but they failed to get the better of all spark. And from no magic to National Champions how harsh desert living and bruce lee movies helped push this arraigning kurdish kickboxer chin the top of her support. You know. Im sumi so much god theyre good to have you with us we begin in iraq where at least thirty eight people have been killed and one hundred five wounded in twin bombings in central baghdad Officials Say two suicide bombers detonated back to back explosions during rush hour in the citys al Tyrone Square the area has been targeted by similar blasts since two thousand and three theres been no claim of risk. Instability so far but this latest attack bears that similarity to previous bombings by the socalled Islamic State. Lets bring in Susanna George shes the Associated Press bureau chief in baghdad she joins us for more on the story hi suzanne a good to see you give us an idea of what the atmosphere is like in baghdad after these the twin bombings. The mood in iraq capital is very tense the people who we spoke to at the scene of this mornings attacks said they were worried as they saw iraqi politicians preparing for elections those are Iraqi National elections that are slated to be out later this year they were worried that a wave of bombings would soon come to the iraqi capital and so theyre concerned that this is just the beginning and that more of like this will follow suzanne of this must be an embarrassment for the government Prime Minister all of bodies government declaring victory over the socalled Islamic State last month concretely how are they going to improve the security situation there well adi was very quick to react to the attack this morning he called a meeting with his top security and intelligence officials thats according to a statement from his office the rocky government is desperately trying to project an image of stability at the moment not only because of this victory the earlier declaration that we just saw a month ago but also because the Prime Minister is running for reelection on a platform of improved security and unity all right so that will be a very important point for him to prove now tell us more about Tyrone Square where these bombs that were detonated why has this area been the repeated site of attacks in the past. Well this is an area thats in the heart of central baghdad its near a lot of important government buildings and also some commercial districts that are very important to the iraqi capital so attacks here are very effective at undermining confidence in the Iraqi Governments ability to protect its own citizens so thats why insurgent groups and its not just i asked but insurgent groups that came before the Islamic State group thats why they attacked these kinds of parts of the iraqi capital if we continue to see more of these types of attacks that further destabilize iraq are we going to then see a resurgence of the Islamic State. Well this is something that a rocky american officials have been warning about for years they said that even after military victories against i ask the country would likely still be grappling with these insurgents silent tax its important to remember though that this presence of i asked fighters you know underground socalled sleeper cells as the Iraqi Government likes to call them this is nothing new this is something that the group has maintained throughout iraq throughout their presence in the country even when they controlled nearly a third of the country they still had a very powerful sleeper cells in baghdad so this is not exactly a new iteration of i asked within iraq but its something that people have been worried about for some time and its something that iraqs Security Services services have really shrugged will to fight in the past insurgencies are much more difficult for them to fight in conventional wars is urgencies require a lot more intelligence and much more surgical operations something that Rock Security forces are still struggling to master Suzanna George the Associated Press a bureau chief with the very latest in baghdad thank you suzanne. Now turkish president says a military assault on u. S. Backed Kurdish Forces in northwestern syria is imminent erdogan also said the operation which is centered on the city of offering aims to purge terror from his countrys southern border the areas controlled by u. S. Back to Kurdish Militia known as the why. Turkish troops are already stationed in rebel held territory on the outskirts of the city. And didnt use yulia hama standing by in istanbul with more on the story lets bring or in now. Why is everyone threatening to attack the y. P. Jean now. Well said show threats by the turkish president are nothing new but this time he is actually specifically threatening the u. S. Led coalition against the socalled Islamic State in syria he slammed plans by the u. S. To establish a certain a thousand Strong BorderSecurity Forces along the Syrian Border with turkey thats a force that would mainly consist of kurdish fighters since the u. S. Is backing such fighters but im going to considers these kurdish fighters terrorists and i quote mr add on he said a country we consider an ally and he means the us is insisting on forming a terrorist army and its our mission to strangle this army before it is even born so you see there really harsh words here by the circus side and meanwhile you know the why p. J. Has been the closest ally of the us im fighting islam ists in syria will a turkish attack lead them to a further deterioration of us turkish relations. Well i think so if there is going to be a further deterioration between because the two nations they are actually nato allies but they have very different strategic goals in syria and at the core of this conflict is really the why p. G. Militia the u. S. As you rightly said is considering them an important proxy in fighting the Islamic State while turkey is considering the why p. G. Militia a terrorist organization with close links to the turkish based p k k that is struggling for independence inside turkey and fighting the turkish army and as long as this conflict is not going to be solved and there is no easy solution to this tensions will rise and its going to be definitely interesting what the u. S. Is saying about such threats and imminent full scale turkish intervention in syria could have user yulia han reporting for us there in istanbul yulia thank you very much for that update.

Youre watching t. V. News still to come in the bundesliga of rock bottom cologne faced a crucial ryan derby against. Well see who earned have bragging rights. But first palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas says israel is to blame for allegedly jeopardizing the landmark oslo peace accord the agreement was signed in one thousand nine hundred three had a ceremony with u. S. President bill clinton been and Yasser Arafat in ramallah on sunday abbas and projected the u. S. As a mediator abbas shied from completely abandoning a two state solution though and did make a call for violence abbas also had strong words for trump who said he would achieve the peace deal of the century between israel the palestinians. Those no we will not accept his project. Told him the deal of the century is the slap of the century and we will retaliate. Lets bring in norah miller shes an analyst with the curve a foundation thats a think tank specializing in International Affairs the thank you very much for joining us in our studio. What does this say about the middle east Peace Process is this a turning point or is it dead well to me i think its certainly a turning point in the relationship between a bus and President Trump it was quite surprising to many that their relations were pretty friendly ever since their meeting in d. C. Last year in may and then on the sidelines of the u. N. G. A. In september of us would come out and say oh were hoping that the Peace Process is going to be advanced by the help of President Trump and then in december came the american declaration and drew silliman and i think that a bus a speech in ramallah was all about catering to his palestinian audience in the sense that he tried to face save after having been so positive about so i think it was more aimed and geared towards a domestic audience what were seeing the sharpening rhetoric on all sides are saying and israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu he actually accused abbas of using trumps remarks as an excuse lets listen to what netanyahu said. His use this. State. To see what we do so from run away from the negotiations done it before you want to negotiate peace youve got to negotiate. Weve never put any preconditions on aggressions. So we hear netanyahu is there saying that abbas is choosing confrontation over negotiation but is israel actually proposing new negotiations when i think what israel is trying to do at this point in time is to make the most of this very a pro israel your presidency under trum and i think what we will see in the next three or maybe possibly also seven years depending on whether trump will be reelected is israel trying to really push for many of its demands to be implemented now it could be very well the case that theyre trying to push for a renegotiation a restart of negotiations with the palestinians but certainly under israeli terms now the p. L. O. Supposed to be unveiling a new strategy for Going Forward for dealing with the u. S. And israel what do you think we can expect there in the strategy well i think in this context its interesting not only to look at what what excuse me what a bust said in ramallah but also what he didnt say in his speech and ramallah he came out with a very fiery rhetoric but he said very little on concrete action he could have for example mentioned that the p. L. O. Is going to cancel the security collaboration with israel in the palestinian territories or he could have said that there would have been a very drastic step that hes going to dissolve the Palestinian Authority all together he didnt say all of those things because they would have undermined his own tower base so i think eventually what were going to see is a very fiery a very assertive rhetoric on the part of the palestinians but possibly not the same degree of action on the ground to be taken norm miller with the curb or foundation a think tank a thank you very much for your analysis thank you susan.

Lets pull in now correspondents cost and for a nominee whos in detroit daniel cope a financial correspondent in frankfurt kasten starting with you here stealing the show even you call the Driverless Cars or the usual gas guzzlers in the spotlight. Definitely the traditional gas guzzling or Combustion Engine cars have basically this is a very traditional all to show where all the Big Companies are showing off their latest and most shining model its of course all the companies these days have to talk about emo billet. Who we just saw has said yesterday that the plan of mess. Leaders benz is to really electrified the whole fleet the complete fleet including the new g. Klaus over time b. M. W. Appointed ology they are the market leaders at least in the luxury segment for cars but the truth is that here the focus clearly is on Traditional Cars and that makes sense because only one percent of cars here in the United States are electric cars these days and if you look at the lights vehicles and trucks its clear two thirds of all cars are s. U. V. S these days only one third. Traditional sedans custom do you know why that is why mobilia t. Isnt electrifying the american. Well this is a vast country yes to be fair i mean there are enormous distances between places here and there simply not the infrastructure and also technology is not as far as advanced the most batteries in the electric cars these days have a range of less than one hundred miles and then if you dont have a place where you can recharge your battery youre in trouble and also it would take a lot of money to have plug in stations all over the country so we can expect mostly in the big cities there will be change over time but it will take time would this be a boon for the german automakers daniel theyve been pretty slow in the mobility race. Yet even though ban we are seeing that the numbers here Sales Numbers off billet he cars and also his bridge cars are going out there are still not at a level where theyre supposed to be remote when im going to america was saying at some time she really wants to make germany number one here in europe when it comes to immobility this is certainly not to think case and yes Sales Numbers are also going up here in germany with a good old petrol car and even the diesel evil billets. He here in germany is still a big problem also carson also just mentioned when it comes to the infrastructure just in berlin where you are right now ben you need up to six different contexts to go all around the city in order to charge your car volkswagen here in germany right now is to promoting their ego but still with very little success another reason why all of this i
