Germany has rolled out the red carpet for turkish president wretch up tie a pair to watch tonight he attended a state banquet in his honor at berlins bellevue palace where he was greeted by the german president frank beltre steinmeyer it was a glamorous occasion that took place within earshot of noisy demonstrations against the turkish leader earlier aired one met with german chancellor Angela Merkel for talks aimed at repairing the fractured relationship between their countries and at a joint press conference in berlin chancellor merkel admitted that differences between them remain but said that she is hopeful of finding Common Ground this despite fierce criticism within germany of turkeys human rights record even in germany there are sometimes moments when journalists cannot behave exactly as they please president had a woman was in the middle of his press conference with chancellor merkel when a man stood up and revealed a t. Shirt with the words press freedom he was quickly bundled out by Security Officers the brief distractions seem to amuse and but his crackdown on journalistic freedom was one of the issues the chancellor raised with him at their meeting. Its no secret that there have been serious differences between us in recent years and there still are. People its mainly about the rule of law and about press freedom that fogged up testify hurt by this davos to last about the case of gender of turkish journalists now in exile in germany everyone was defiant they could be the bush who for such. He used a loophole and he fled to germany. But his Court Sentence remains valid. And this person belongs in jail because he has revealed state secrets. You show you steve. Outside on the streets of berlin protesters were also drawing attention to the lack of basic freedoms in turkey a protest its not against the one but its against his politics is politics often violation of human rights is politics of violation of freedom of press and journalism is not a crime but it seems to be a crime in turkey earlier german president steinmeyer greeted at a one at bellevue palace this visit is an attempt to normalize relations when times are anything but normal turkey is holding a number of germans as Political Prisoners not to mention thousands of his own citizens many politicians worry the owners go too far. Better course for peace i think this appeasement course and to me it smells like appeasement is totally wrong because it had trays and mosques and those who were victims of oppression and there are hundreds of thousands of them in turkey holes in them and you know took. A number of demonstrations both for and against the want to do over the next twenty four hours but with thousands of Police Deployed in central berlin theres determination that street protests will not overshadow the diplomacy. And part of president obamas program on friday clude a state banquet in his honor hosted by germanys president frank. House and pill is outside of bellevue palace where that banquet is being held and here with me is the ws turkey correspondent yulia han with some analysis in the studio charlotte id like to turn to you first because id like to talk about the banquet its significant not only because of who attended but also because of who did not. Thats right sara number german opposition politicians announced ahead of the state banquet that they would boycott it as a sign of resistance of opposition to the turkish president s state village state visit a number of people have also pointed out that the german chancellor Angela Merkel is not taking part not been taking part in the the state banquet that has to be made clear is not something thats especially unusual she doesnt usually take part in these statements its not any kind of signal thats being sent so father we heard that the banquet had been going as planned fairly smoothly although there have been reports the president after one in his speech at the banquets went slightly off script there were reports that he reprimanded the german president. Apparently upset and angry by shaima as reference to Political Prisoners in germany and of course to a number of politicians a number of german Political Prisoners that are currently behind bars in turkey reports are still emerging but it appears that there was some anger at that statement but no shortage of controversy with his visit here in fact many germans also highly critical of the fact that i am the one has been welcomed with full honors to the country and without id like to turn to you yulia because it also comes at a very interesting time for turkey this visit what is erica one hoping to achieve in germany let me say one thing sara looking at looking back at what happened today this is already one of the most controversial if not the most controversial state visits to germany this year quite a number of scandals that we saw today and that outburst of anger there by mr out on the child that was just mentioning again there are just reports we have not been at the banquet we have not listened to his speech but thats what coming out whats coming out and media report. Now is one of them and its probably not exactly what he was hoping for for sure he was hoping for some glamorous pictures he was received with military honors earlier today by the german president he was handshaking with machall and for sure he wanted these pictures because it shows he is respected and received as a statesman here in germany europes economic powerhouse and my feeling was that he was looking for to these kind of pictures to reassure Financial Markets to regain trust to show that hes among the europeans he is well respected there a difficult time for the country we know for example they are pretty much to. The country the country very much under a lot of economic pressure coming to germany hoping to increase the Economic Cooperation between germany and turkey also with europe just generally speaking and and charlotte you know not everyone in germany is happy about that in fact you were on the streets today and there were protesters out. Thats right there were tens of thousands of people on the streets today what they were looking to do was to counter that image that you see it was just talking about that image of president to on as a statesman being welcomed in jimmy the protesters wanted to show that there are loads of people who feel very strongly against his visit the name of the protests that took part that was going on this could add to on was not welcomed people walked through the streets but streets were closed off to make way for them as they headed towards the president ial palace where they said that they wanted to make their voices heard by president out of one another would people from dozens of organizations taking part in this process including getting far left organizations people hes told me that they were increasingly concerned by president ad what they say is president ed once increasingly authoritarian rule we spoke to people who were concerned about press freedom free speech Political Prisoners there were also a number of code kurdish protesters as well on the streets here who said they were angry by this military offensive against Kurdish Militia in syria so a number of different groups here but what unites them with anger at the fact that essentially were quite literally germany had rolled out the red carpet for president so a lot of concerns on the table as these two leaders meet we know the day one was on friday day two tomorrow saturday and yulia id like to turn to you because there was a press conference between air to one and merkel you live in turkey you know youre viewing this through that lens and id like to know if you see the possibility of progress here in this relationship i mean is this a relationship of reset between the two countries do you see the political will. I see some political will i see that mr advani in general has changed his language lets remember last year he accused the German Government and chancellor merkel all of the nazi practices of being enemies of turkey so he has tuned down this. Sharp criticism and now we approach is them saying he wants to revive the friendship and so on and there are reasons for germany and turkey to call parade of course economic reasons geo strategic reasons lets think about syria the migration crisis but as the german chancellor said today there are profound differences they remain and these differences appear when they talk about the rule of law and human rights and there are really have the feeling that they dont speak the same language miss medicals bring that up and then missed out on later on says well we have a stable constitutional democracy i dont know what youre talking about basically so in order for this relationship to get any better to improve they need to you know to speak the same language basically and i think its a lot of work that remains to be done there w. Turkey correspondent yulia hahn and Charlotte Charleston pill joining us from the fields thank you so much to both of you. Now we head to the United States where the u. S. Senates Judiciary Committee has said that it will ask President Donald Trump to open a new f. B. I. Probe into the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh earlier the Committee Recommended that the full senate vote. Hoping to achieve with this visit we are turning now to of course talking about that testimony yesterday from christine before who said that hed assaulted her at a gathering back in nineteen eighty or rather in the eightys and a Vote Along Party Lines the committee backed cavanagh the deciding vote was cast by anti trump republican jeff flake he says that he is urging the Republican Senate leadership to delay a full vote on kavanah for a week until the federal bureau of investigation can complete a probe into allegations of misconduct against cavanagh lets listen in now to flake statement to the committee i think it would be. Proper to delay the floor vote. For up to but not more than one week. In order to let the f. B. I. Continue to do an investigation limited in time and scope. To the current allegations that are there and ive spoken to a few other members. Who are on my side of the aisle that may be supportive as well. So lets break down what all of this means is very on my estate are standing by in washington so my we have the committee here saying that it will ask for an f. B. I. Probe are they likely to get it whats next. That is the Million Dollar question right now sarah because were in very much Uncharted Waters when it comes to Supreme Court nominations i certainly cant remember a time when its calm down exactly like this in the meantime Senate Republicans are also teaching the full senate vote on cavanaghs confirmation despite the fact that they have agreed to have this f. B. I. Investigation happen so it looks like theyre still trying to push forward with this. Even with these compromises being made these obstacles being thrown in their way the vote scheduled on saturday to see whether or not they can even go forward with a vote and then the thing is the senate can still simply move forward with their vote and not have this investigation happen and this is a really double edged sword because they couldnt let this they could give this full week thats been asked for and let this investigation happen the investigation could turn up nothing and they could go ahead with the vote but they could also give enough time for these senators who are sort of declare that theyre on the fence particularly two key republican senators to be swayed one way or another and its interesting to see one of those key senators jeff flake of course pushing for this investigation that coming after he first announced that he would support cavanagh he was then we have to mention confronted by Sexual Assault victims in the halls of congress and id just like to play that footage and then get your reaction after a while. Hard you take responsibility for it and you carry your lover someone with im willing to take responsibility for you the moment i was sure id really look forward to her that was not my moment to. Be a hero. Underwater robot i want to be. One of the great minute. We were. Very clear that if you can just hear the emotion there i mean this issue has really struck a chord in the nation and therefore wed like to know how much pressure is flake and other lawmakers under to vote against their republican party. This is one thing that flake said in his request for this f. B. I. Investigation he said this country is being torn apart indicating that he wanted to do something about that i mean you can see this if you look on the rhetoric of bowl sides depending on what side of the aisle you were on you took away two very different messages from yesterdays very emotional testimony you either completely believed dr blasi forward or you completely believe judge kavanaugh and there was no in between and the the senators who have indicated they are on the fence about this are under an enormous amount of pressure right now both from their party and from the Opposition Party not to mention from their own constituents who im sure are on the phones are ringing them nonstop and the longer that this vote is delayed the more pressure there will be my a spanner in washington thank you. Lets get a quick check now of some other stories that have been making news around the world Gaza Health Officials say that at least seven palestinians have been shot dead during clashes with Israeli Soldiers along the gaza strip border they say that over five hundred others were wounded palestinians have been holding weekly protests there since march the Israeli Army Says that its soldiers were provoked.
