durée : 00:04:44 - Le Reportage de la rédaction - Le taux de fécondité des femmes turques est au plus bas en cette année décrétée Année de la famille. Le président Erdogan part en croisade contre la pratique des césariennes au plus haut parmi les pays de l'OCDE. Mais est-ce le bon combat ? Pourquoi les femmes turques ne font-elles plus d'enfant ?

Julianne Moore has won countless awards and nominations for films like Boogie Nights, The End of the Affair, The Hours, as well as winning an Oscar for her performance in the film Still Alice. Her latest role sees her play Kate in the upcoming film Echo Valley alongside Sydney Sweeney, who plays her daughter Claire. Julianne tells Nuala McGovern about her character who's coming to terms with a personal tragedy while running her farm and training horses, when her daughter shows up, hysterical and covered in someone else's blood, flipping Kate's world upside down.From today, nursing staff in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are being asked to vote on the government's proposed 3.6% pay increase. This compares to a 5.4% average increase for resident doctors, formally known as junior doctors, and 4% for consultants and other senior doctors. The Scottish government has already agreed a two-year 8% pay offer with health unions. Around 345,000 members of the Royal College of Nursing union will be asked if the pay award is enough in what has been described as the biggest single vote of the profession ever launched in the UK. Nuala speaks to Steve Ford, editor of the Nursing Times.Turkey has imposed a restriction on elective caesarean sections at small private medical clinics, without a medical justification, under new health ministry regulations. President Erdogan has declared 2025 to be the ‘Year of the family' and has been campaigning for women to have vagina births, or 'natural births' as he's calling them, in a bid to encourage women to have more babies. Turkey has one of the highest rates of caesarean section births according to health ministry figures from 2023, where out of all births 61.5% were by c-section. This compares to the UK's 42%, according to the latest NHS data. Nuala talks to Guardian journalist Ruth Michaelson and Dr Irmak Sarac, a gynaecologist and feminist activist in Turkey, to discuss why these restrictions have been brought in and what's happening to women's reproductive health in Turkey.Daughters of the Bamboo Grove: China's Stolen Children and a Story of Separated Twins is the real life story of twin girls born in China who were separated as toddlers in 2002. One girl was adopted in good faith by an American couple who believed that the baby's Chinese birth-parents had given her up. The other remained in China to be raised by her birth parents. The story shone a light on China's one child policy which ran from 1979 to 2015 and China's involvement in international adoption, a practice that was ended last year. Nuala speaks to the American journalist Barbara Demick, who unravelled the truth of what happened to the twins, eventually broke the story to the world and who has put their story into this book.

At the 9th Our Ocean Conference in Athens last year, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced that Greece would create two marine parks that would raise the extent of Greece's marine protected areas to 30 percent. Last year's announcement also led to objections from Turkey, adding a geopolitical angle to this discussion. Now, reports indicate Greece is about to pass legislation to make this a reality. John Psaropoulos joins Thanos Davelis as we break down what this could mean for Greece's delicate marine areas, while looking at how Turkey's objections are complicating this story.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Greece poised to make marine parks a realityPlans afoot for an Erdogan trip to the White House“The right time is coming and it will come soon,” vows Greek Foreign Minister regarding Crete-Cyprus power link

durée : 00:04:44 - La BO du monde - Pourchassé de longue date par le régime turc, le groupe contestataire d'Istanbul n'a jamais renoncé à son engagement à gauche malgré la répression. Mais depuis quelques jours, sa musique a tout bonnement disparu des plateformes en Turquie !

“You can essentially divide the region between two sets of players. You have the, broadly speaking, Western-aligned players, which essentially consist of Israel and the non-Islamist Arab countries—countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE—and then, on the other hand, you have the axis of Islamism—of support for Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood and jihadism. And that, these days, is mostly the Iranian regime of course, Turkey unfortunately under Tayyip Erdogan, and Qatar, Qatar being the lead financier of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood,” says Josh Hammer, host of the Newsweek podcast “The Josh Hammer Show” and author of “Israel and Civilization: The Fate of the Jewish Nation and the Destiny of the West.”“Iran is the source of evil in the Middle East. We should be very clear about that,” he says. “This is the world's No. 1 state sponsor of terrorism. They have been ever since the hostage crisis that formed this horrific regime that ended the Jimmy Carter presidency in 1979.”What does an America First foreign policy look like? How does Trump's Middle East strategy fit into it? And what about the U.S. relationship with Qatar?“America has always been engaged on the world stage. So the fact that we're not necessarily going to be going around crusading in the name of spreading liberal democracy does not necessarily mean that we have no interest in the world. We're America first, but you have to be America smart as well,” says Hammer.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guest and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

We are in an age of authoritarian democracy, and Turkey and its leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan is its paradigm. Erdogan has been in power more than 2 decades and created the template men like Victor Orban and Bibi Netanyahu have been followingin using democracy's tools to become authoritarian leaders. And now there's Donald Trump. Veteran journalist Andrew Finkel who has been reporting from the country for decades explains the process. You can hear parallels to what is unfolding in the US. Give us 39:30 to explain.

TURKEY: NO EU OBSTACLE TO ERDOGAN 1870 ISTANBUL

Last week a $7 billion energy deal involving the United States, Turkey and Qatar, was signed in Damascus, a move designed to revive Syria's crippled power sector. The move raises questions about Qatar and Turkey's role in post-Assad Syria and about the Trump administration's Syria policy. The move also comes as Turkey's President Erdogan is continuing his crackdown on opposition voices. Henri Barkey, a Professor of International Relations at Lehigh University and an Adjunct Senior Fellow for Middle East Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, joins Thanos Davelis as we dig into Washington's green-lighting of Turkey and Qatar's embrace of Syria, and look at how this could impact Erdogan at home.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Turkey's big Syria play: Rebuild, but only if Gulf can pay for itTurkey and Qatar Are Buying Into Syria.

Groong Week in Review - June 1, 2025In this episode of Groong's Week in Review, recorded on June 2, 2025, guest Benyamin Poghosyan joins hosts Hovik Manucharyan and Asbed Bedrossian to unpack a tense and volatile week in both regional and domestic politics. The conversation opens with rising tensions in the Ukraine war, as drone strikes reach deep into Russia, Germany lifts missile restrictions, and Trump labels Putin “crazy,” all while Iran nuclear talks remain frozen under hardline U.S. demands. The focus then shifts to the South Caucasus, where Turkish FM Hakan Fidan met Lavrov in Moscow to push the “3+3” platform and floated Istanbul as a summit venue for global powers. Meanwhile, Erdogan, Aliyev, and Pakistan's PM Sharif staged a PR spectacle in Lachin to inaugurate a third airport in occupied Artsakh, signaling strategic realignments. Back in Armenia, the Pashinyans launched harsh verbal attacks on the Armenian Church just as Baku's Grand Mufti claimed Etchmiadzin as Azerbaijani land, prompting questions of tacit coordination. The episode also revisits the impeachment debate versus opposition planning for the 2026 elections, probing whether security and corruption can drive real political traction. Finally, the hosts spotlight the rise of regime-aligned oligarch Narek Nalbandyan, whose sweetheart deals, state-enabled asset grabs, and government-backed expansion raise serious concerns about the erosion of anti-corruption values in Armenia today.TopicsStatus of Ukraine and US-Iran CrisesHakan Fidan in MoscowErdogan, Aliyev, Sharif in LachinAzerbaijan and Pashinyan Attack the Armenian ChurchImpeachment vs. ElectionsThe Kitchen SinkGuest: Benyamin PoghosyanHostsHovik ManucharyanAsbed BedrossianEpisode 442 | Recorded: June 2, 2025SHOW NOTES: https://podcasts.groong.org/442VIDEO: https://youtu.be/oo_B7xhOVlMSubscribe and follow us everywhere you are: linktr.ee/groong

Preview: Colleague Sinan Ciddi measures that there is not sufficient information yet to decide if Sharaa of Damascus is an avatar for Erdogan or not. More later. 1934 TURKEY AVIATORS

Turecko bude usilovat o schůzku Volodymyra Zelenského s Vladimirem Putinem. Mohl by se jí účastnit také prezident USA Donald Trump. Po pondělním druhém kole přímých rozhovorů ukrajinské a ruské delegace v Istanbulu to řekl turecký prezident Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Pondělní rozhovory, které podle agentur trvaly necelou hodinu, označil za skvělé. Skvělý byl ovšem spíše ukrajinský dronový útok na základny ruských strategických bombardérů.

Turkish authorities are intensifying their crackdown on Istanbul's imprisoned mayor, Ekrem İmamoğlu. The move comes as İmamoğlu, despite his incarceration, remains President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's principal political rival, with protests continuing over his arrest. On Wednesday, a suburb of Istanbul witnessed the latest demonstration in support of the city's detained mayor. Despite the protest taking place in a traditional electoral stronghold of President Erdoğan, tens of thousands attended.İmamoğlu masksIn a recent attempt to quell the unrest, Istanbul's governor's office issued a decree ordering the removal of all images, videos, and audio recordings of İmamoğlu from state buildings and public transport across the city. Within hours, social media was flooded with footage of people wearing İmamoğlu masks while riding public transport.Turkey's youth rise up over mayor's jailing and worsening economy“Up to 75% are against İmamoğlu's arrest, as the aversion to Erdoğan's attempt to sideline his opponent with foul play was widely distributed by all parties,” claimed political analyst Atilla Yeşilada of Global Source Partners, citing recent opinion polls.Yeşilada argues that the poll's findings underscore the opposition's success in winning over public opinion.“There is a strong reaction. This is not a temporary thing. It's a grievance that will be held and may impact the next election whenever they are held,” he added.Recent opinion polls also show İmamoğlu enjoying a double-digit lead over Erdoğan in a prospective presidential race, with a majority of respondents believing the corruption charges against the mayor are politically motivated—a claim the government denies.Erdogan's jailed rivalsPolitical analyst Sezin Öney of the independent Turkish news portal Politikyol suggests Erdoğan may have expected İmamoğlu to follow the same fate as other jailed rivals, whose influence faded once imprisoned. “The government is counting on the possibility that İmamoğlu is jailed, is out of sight, out of mind, and the presidency will have his ways,” explained Öney.Further arrests as Turkey cracks down on protests over jailed Istanbul mayorTurkish authorities have persistently sought to curtail İmamoğlu's presence on social media. His accounts on X (formerly Twitter) and Bluesky have been frozen following court rulings.The fate of opposition journalistsSimilar actions have been taken against opposition journalists and their supporters. “The operation goes deeper and deeper in recent months; it's just a very concerted policy to create a blackout in this vibrant society,” claimed Erol Önderoğlu, Istanbul representative of the Paris-based Reporters Without Borders.The legal crackdown on the Istanbul municipality continues, with further waves of arrests extending even to İmamoğlu's personal bodyguard. His party, the Republican People's Party (CHP), is also under investigation for alleged irregularities at its party congress.Analyst Öney predicts that further crackdowns are likely, given the potential implications for Erdoğan's political future. “I am sure this is being calculated and recalculated every day—whether it's beneficial to throw more cases at him (İmamoğlu), by weakening his party, the Republican People's Party, weakening him personally, or whatever is convenient. But the sky is the limit,” explained Öney.Nevertheless, each new crackdown appears only to fuel the momentum behind opposition protests, which continue to attract large crowds across the country—including in Erdoğan's own political bastions.Protest movementThe leader of the main opposition CHP, Özgür Özel, has earned praise for his energetic performances and has won over many former sceptics. However, analyst Yeşilada questions whether Özel can sustain the protest movement.“I feel in the summer months, it's very difficult to keep the momentum; the colleges are closed, and people are shuffling through the country, so if that (protests) is the only means of piling the pressure on Erdoğan, it's not going to work,” warned Yeşilada.Istanbul's mayorial elections mean more than just running the city Yeşilada believes the opposition leader must elevate his strategy. “Özel needs to find new tricks. It will take two things: A) hearing what the grassroots are saying, in particular the younger generation, and B) being able to reshuffle the party rank and file so true activists are promoted—so they can energise the base,” he added.In 2013, Erdoğan weathered a wave of mass protests which largely dissipated with the closing of universities and the arrival of the summer holidays. This year, he may again be relying on summer to quieten dissent. For the opposition, the challenge is to ensure that Erdoğan's summer is anything but peaceful.

An der Kurdenfrage werde sich entscheiden, ob die Türkei zur Demokratie zurückfindet, meint Nahost-Experte Walter Posch. Ein Podcast vom Pragmaticus. Das Thema:Sind mit der offiziellen Auflösung der PKK bzw. der KCK im Mai 2025 auch die Kurden in der Türkei am Ende des Kampfes um ihre Rechte und politische Anerkennung? Die „Kurdenfrage“ sei mit dem Ende der PKK nicht aus der Welt, erinnert der Naohostexperte Walter Posch: „Es gibt das PKK Terror-Problem nicht mehr, aber die Kurdenfrage bleibt als verfassungs-, menschen- und minderheitenrechtliche Frage.“  Können die Kurden Erdoğan unter Druck setzen und mehr Demokratie in der Türkei bewirken? Diese Hoffnung teilt Walter Posch nicht und ist doch nicht ganz ohne Zuversicht. Unser Gast in dieser Folge: Walter Posch ist Iranist und Islamwissenschaftler. Er forscht und lehrt am Institut für Friedenssicherung und Konfliktmanagement der Landesverteidigungsakademie in Wien, die zum Bundesministerium für Landesverteidigung gehört. Einer seiner Forschungsschwerpunkte sind Untergrundbewegungen des Nahen Ostens.Dies ist ein Podcast von Der Pragmaticus. Sie finden uns auch auf Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn und X (Twitter).

A Istanbul si sono svolti i nuovi colloqui tra Kiev e Mosca per concordare una tregua, ma di fatto l'unico risultato raggiunto è un nuovo scambio di prigionieri.

Con Expósito, la última hora en la linterna. Cope, estar informado. En estas últimas horas, los mediadores para una paz en Ucrania han aumentado su presión para que se celebre una reunión entre líderes al más alto nivel tras dos encuentros entre Moscú y Kiev en Estambul. El presidente de Turquía, Erdogan, ha dado un paso al frente y ha propuesto una reunión a cuatro: Putin, Zelensky, Donald Trump y el propio Erdogan. La Casa Blanca dice que para adelante, por ahora el ruso Vladimir Putin es el más reticente. El ucraniano cree que ese encuentro sería clave para el futuro de las negociaciones. ...

* Israel reportedly expels 250,000 Palestinians from Jabalia * UN reports 'catastrophic' conditions in Gaza despite renewed aid * Israel targets Macron and threatens to build 'Jewish Israeli state' in occupied West Bank * China 'rehearsing for the real deal' in Taiwan: Hegseth * Leadership-level Ukraine-Russia talks key for peace process: Erdogan

Türkiye celebrates Istanbul's conquest by launching gas platform "Türkiye sent off its first floating production unit Osman Gazi, towards the Sakarya Gas Field in the Black Sea. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan led the ceremonial send-off in Istanbul, accompanied by top officials and a traditional mehter band. Marking the 572nd anniversary of the Conquest of Istanbul, the platform's journey through the strait began with presidential blessings and radio communications. Expected to double gas output, Osman Gazi is seen as Türkiye's bold stride towards energy independence." US flag returns to Syria after 12 years of frozen ties "In a landmark move, US envoy Thomas Barrack raised the American flag over the ambassador's residence in Damascus. It was its first appearance since 2012. Though embassy operations remain suspended, Barrack's visit signals renewed US-Syria engagement. Appointed on May 23, Barrack met with Syria's President Ahmed al Sharaa and reopened the residence with Foreign Minister Asaad al Shaibani. He reiterated US support for current leadership, hinted at peace talks with Israel and confirmed that sanctions had been lifted by President Trump, including Syria's removal from the ""terror sponsor"" list." Ukraine open to Istanbul talks but wants Russia's peace terms first "Jumping on to another volatile region, Ukraine has expressed its readiness to participate in peace talks planned to take place in Istanbul next week. However, Kiev insists that Russia must share its proposed peace terms in advance. Ukraine described Moscow's refusal to do so as “non-constructive,” warning that the meeting risks being ineffective without transparency. Meanwhile, the United Nations has reported a sharp increase in civilian casualties, with over 13,000 civilians killed since the conflict began. The United States has called on Russia to agree to a comprehensive ceasefire, emphasising that there is no military solution to the conflict. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has also urged all parties to keep dialogue channels open despite stalled diplomatic efforts." South Koreans show record turnout as early voting continues "South Koreans turned out in record numbers on Friday for the second day of early voting, aiming to end months of political chaos sparked by ousted President Yoon Suk-yeol's controversial martial law declaration and impeachment. With the economy under strain and a revolving door of interim leaders, liberal frontrunner Lee Jae-myung leads the race, followed by conservative Kim Moon-soo. Already, a record 21 percent of 44.4 million registered voters have cast ballots, with overseas turnout hitting historic highs ahead of the June 3 election." "Hamas: Israeli ceasefire response fails to meet core demands "Palestinian resistance group Hamas says Israel's response to a US-backed Gaza ceasefire proposal falls short of its demands. The plan, put forward by US President Donald Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff, remains under Hamas review. Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes bombed southern Lebanon, striking several towns days after a deadly attack breached the 2024 truce. Separately in Gaza, the head of the United Nations relief agency for Palestinian refugees Philippe Lazzarini, warned that Israel's war tactics, including starvation, threaten future generations in Gaza. He urged unhindered access to aid to avert a deepening humanitarian catastrophe."

This week Turkey's President Erdogan said he was putting together a team to draft a new constitution, a move that comes in the wake of Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu's arrest. Many critics see this push for a new constitution as a power play designed to allow Erdogan to remain in power beyond 2028, when his current term ends. Sinan Ciddi, a non-resident senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and an expert on Turkish politics, joins Thanos Davelis to look into what's at stake for Turkish democracy and why it matters for the US and Europe.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:A Turkey With No Elections?Turkey's Erdogan appoints legal team to draft new constitution, sparking fears of extended ruleIndia turns its gaze to Cyprus as gateway to Europe and the Middle EastGov't drafts tougher law for rejected asylum seekers, Mitsotakis says

The United States and Iran have drawn clear lines in the sand regarding Iran's nuclear program. The U.S. demands that Iran must never possess a nuclear weapon. Iran insists it does not want to have a nuclear weapon. The U.S. demands that Iran must stop enriching uranium at near weapon's grade levels and dismantle their nuclear sites. Iran insists that it will never give up its right to enrich uranium. Is it possible for the two sides to reach an agreement? And what's behind Iran's demand to enrich uranium at such high levels if highly enriched uranium is not necessary for domestic energy use? During this episode of the Blessors of Israel Podcast, Pastor Rich Jones joins Dr. Matthew Dodd in studio to discuss what is behind Iran's demand to enrich uranium. They also discuss the historical and biblical significance of Jerusalem Day along with recent developments in Israel's war against Hamas.

China is planning a new version of its Made In China 2025 industrial strategy. Just as America is punching holes in its own science funding budget, we'll be reporting from the output gap. Meanwhile, the new US ambassador to Ankara has declared that he's against carving up Syria in a modern Sykes-Picot, the treaty that drew up the Middle East modern borders. Is this an important anti-colonial action or just a license for Erdogan to gobble up his own Ottoman empire?Finally, Harvard continues to come under shelling by the US government. Not content with disbarring international students, Trump said on Monday that he is considering taking $3 billion of previously awarded grant money and giving it to trade schools. Is this a case of frightening them to with an inch of their lives or is Trump genuinely guillotining the credentialed aristocracy that runs the United States?

Reports indicate that President Trump and members of his administration are looking for ways to circumvent or lift CAATSA sanctions and put arms sales, particularly of F-35 jets, back on the table with Turkey. They are coming up against a challenge that is significantly more complex than simply waiving sanctions. Lena Argiri, the DC correspondent for ERT - the Greek Public Broadcasting Company - and Kathimerini, joins Thanos Davelis as we look into why CAATSA may not be the real obstacle standing in the way of Turkey and the F-35s.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:CAATSA sanctions not the real obstacle between Turkey and the F-35 programTurkey is not acting like a US ally, say AJC and HALC chiefsGreece hooks up undersea power link to Crete that's key to Mediterranean expansionTurkey's Erdogan appoints legal team to draft new constitution, sparking fears of extended rule

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 203-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 21,539, on turnover of $4.8-billion N-T. Dongyin Township in Matsu Islands joins global Cittaslow network Dongyin Township in the Matsu Islands, known officially as Lienchiang County, has become the seventh place in Taiwan to join the Cittaslow network. The Lienchiang County government says Dongyin qualified for the international Cittaslow movement, which promotes a slower pace of life through a community-centered approach that supports sustainability and counters (對抗、抵銷) the pressures of modern living to improve quality of life. Dongyin will be officially introduced to the Italy-based association on June 21st at the Cittaslow International Assembly in South Korea, with Dongyin officials invited to attend. Six places in Taiwan have received Cittaslow certification, including Hualien County's Fenglin Township in 2014, and Dalin Township in Chiayi County. CWA: Increasing Chances of Rain in Afternoon into Evening The Central Weather Administration is forecasting increasing chances of rain across the island this afternoon heading into the evening, as a frontal system approaches. The CWA says moisture is set to accumulate in the air today, leading to more clouds and sporadic (零星的) showers across northern, central areas as well as the eastern half of Taiwan. Temperatures will also feel muggy, with highs reaching 33 degrees Celsius. And according to the Ministry of the Environment, southeasterly winds may leave western Taiwan with a slightly higher level of pollutants in the air, and ozone concentratiosn are likely to rise in the afternoon. (NS) NPR Sues Trump for Federal Funding Cuts NPR has sued President Donald Trump over his executive order to end federal funding for NPR and PBS - claiming it violates the Constitution. The White House has not immediately responded to the lawsuit (訴訟). Toni Waterman has more. Turkey President Team Working on New Constitution to Remain in Power Turkey's president says he has appointed a team of legal experts to start working on a new constitution which critics say could allow him to remain in power beyond 2028, when his current (目前的) term ends. Erdogan has called for a new constitution, arguing that the current one, which was drafted following a military coup in 1980, is outdated and retains elements of military influence. He said Tuesday he had appointed 10 legal experts to draft a new charter. The effort comes months after the popular mayor of Istanbul and key Erdogan rival was arrested and jailed on corruption charges that are widely viewed as politically motivated. Netherlands Hals Paintings Returned A pair of paintings by Dutch Golden Age master Frans Hals, possibly depicting his own children, are returning to the Netherlands after more than a century overseas in the hands of private owners. “Boy Playing the Violin” and “Girl Singing,” were bought at auction Monday for $7.8 million by the Frans Hals Museum and the Mauritshuis museum, with financial support from the Dutch government and a group of foundations. Painted around 1628, the works are seen as an important part of the country's cultural heritage (遺產) and as especially interesting because Hals may have used his own children as models. The museums will alternate showing the works, but will always keep the two together. That was the I.C.R.T.

Ankara's latest effort to end a four decades long Kurdish insurgency is opaque and is full of risks and opportunities for Turkey and Syria's Kurds says lawmaker Cengiz Candar.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Turkey and the United States are stepping up their cooperation in Syria, strengthening a partnership that has grown despite tensions with Israel. The two countries say they are working more closely on security and stability in the region, reflecting a broader reset in their relationship. The pledge was made during a meeting of the US-Turkey Working Group in Washington, where diplomats committed to “increasing cooperation and coordination on the security and stability of Syria”.Ozgur Unluhisarcikli, who heads the German Marshall Fund office in Ankara, said this signals progress.“I think it shows us that Turkey and the US can get on the same page when it comes to Syria,” he said. “Disagreements in Syria were part of the problem between Turkey and the United States. There are other issues, but this one was one of the core issues.”Unluhisarcikli believes the good chemistry between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Donald Trump is playing a role.“I think it's significant President Erdogan is one of the leaders that President Trump likes working with and trusts. But of course, this is the case until it's not,” he said.Macron urges Syrian leader to protect minorities after deadly clashesIsraeli pushbackThe move comes despite a warning from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who told Trump during his February visit to Washington that Turkey was a security threat in Syria.Both countries have troops in Syria and see each other as rivals.Trump appeared to dismiss Netanyahu's concerns, speaking to the international media from the Oval Office with the Israeli leader at his side.“I told the Prime Minister: Bibi, if you have a problem with Turkey, I really think I can be able to work it out,” Trump said. “I have a really great relationship with Turkey and its leader.”Erdogan, along with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, is credited with helping persuade Trump to lift sanctions on Syria. Israeli foreign policy analyst Gallia Lindenstrauss said the decision went against Israel's position.She explained that Israel wanted any easing of sanctions to be linked to concessions by Damascus.“I think the fact the US ambassador to Turkey has been appointed as the envoy to Syria also means the Turkish position will get more attention from the US side,” Lindenstrauss said.“That in itself makes some concern in Israel. Because here Israel has its priorities with regards to Syria, it wants someone pushing Turkey to be more flexible and not, of course, to build bases throughout Syria. That would be a very threatening scenario regarding Israel.”Turkey's rivalry with Iran shifts as US threats create unlikely common groundTurkish airbasesIsraeli warplanes recently destroyed a Syrian airbase that Turkish forces were preparing to take over. Turkey says its growing military presence, including control of airbases, is aimed at helping Syria's new rulers fight insurgent groups like the Islamic State.“For Turkey, Syria's security and stability are of the utmost importance, and Turkey is devoting resources to keep Syria stable because Syria's stability is so important for Turkey's security, and that's what Israel should understand,” Unluhisarcikli said.But Turkish airbases equipped with missile defences would restrict Israel's freedom to operate in Syrian airspace.“Israel has just found an opportunity, an air corridor towards Iran (via Syrian airspace), which it can use without asking for permission from any third party,” Unluhisarcikli said. “If Turkey takes over the bases, then Israel would need to get permission from Turkey, which it doesn't want to, and I think that's understandable.”Azerbaijan has been mediating talks between Israel and Turkey to reduce tensions. The two sides have reportedly set up deconfliction systems, including a hotline.“There has been progress between Israel and Turkey over Syria. There have been at least three announced talks in Azerbaijan which is positive,” Lindenstrauss said.PKK ends 40-year fight but doubts remain about the next stepsIran and the F-35sIran's nuclear programme is another source of friction between Israel and Turkey.Unluhisarcikli said Trump seems to be leaning more towards Erdogan's view than Netanyahu's.“For Turkey, military conflict with Iran is a very bad scenario. I am not entirely sure that's how Trump feels, but for him, any conflict should be just a second choice because conflict is not good for business," Unluhisarcikli said."It seems Israel has made the judgment that it is time for military action, the time for talking is over. There should be military action. Trump disagrees. He thinks he does have a chance of negotiating.”US and Iranian negotiators met in Rome on Friday for the fifth round of talks. Erdogan supports the talks and has also claimed that Trump is open to lifting the US embargo on selling F-35 fighter jets to Turkey. That would remove Israel's technical advantage in the air.Trump's increasingly close relationship with Erdogan comes amid reports that he is uneasy about Israel's war in Gaza. But Lindenstrauss warned that Israel is counting on Trump's unpredictability.“We know that Trump has a basic favourable view towards Erdogan. This was already in his first term, and it is continuing now. But we also know that Trump can be tough towards Turkey, and he did implement sanctions against Turkey in his first term," she said."So this good relationship depends on whether Turkey is in line with US interests. But of course, Israel is watching.”However, with Israel's war in Gaza showing little signs of ending, threatening further diplomatic isolation, Erdogan for now appears to have Trump's ear, with the two leaders sharing similar agendas.

A decision earlier this year by authorities in the occupied northern part of Cyprus to allow headscarves in schools has led to mass protests against what many see as President Erdogan's increasing authoritarianism and a creeping Islamification from Ankara. The protests also touch on broader issues, with Turkish Cypriots expressing concerns about money laundering, crime, and a wider Russian and Iranian presence. Nektaria Stamouli, the deputy editor in chief of Kathimerini's English Edition and Politico's Eastern Mediterranean correspondent, joins Thanos Davelis to break down this protest movement and look at what it says about where Turkish Cypriots stand vis-a-vis Erdogan.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Turkish Cypriots resist creeping IslamificationErdogan says US CAATSA sanctions on Turkey defense sector easing under TrumpGreece takes legal action over drone show advertising Adidas near AcropolisOutrage in Greece after Adidas advert shows drone shoe ‘kicking' Acropolis

Wednesday, May 14 marked the 77th anniversary of Israel becoming a nation. This significant historical and biblical event was overshadowed this week when President Donald Trump traveled to the Middle East but did not visit Israel. During this episode of the Blessors of Israel Podcast, Dr. Matthew Dodd discusses the opportunity that Trump missed this week along with other alarming developments and how they are setting the stage for the fulfillment of another Bible prophecy concerning Israel.Visit the Blessors of Israel Website: https://www.blessors.org/ Thank you for supporting Blessors of Israel.

Darrell Castle talks about Present Trump's trip to the Middle East and how it reflects Trump's vision of the world --- how it can be more peaceful and prosperous for everyone. Transcription / Notes WHY NEO-CONS HATE TRUMP Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 16th day of May in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about President Trump's trip to the Middle East which should be finishing just about as I record this report. The trip reflects Trump's vision of the world and how it can be more peaceful, and prosperous for everyone, in other words the anti-neo-con view of the world. President Trump is currently on a Presidential trip to several Middle East countries including Saudi Arabia, his first stop, and then several of the Gulf Arab States including Qatar, the second stop. While he was in Riyadh, he spoke to the new leader of Syria which is interesting because until the fall of Assad that man was listed as a wanted international terrorist. Apparently Mr. Erdogan of Turkey joined in the conversation by phone and lobbied Trump to lift the sanctions on Syria which Trump agreed to do. His reception by the Middle East countries has been phenomenal and met with similar joy as his election was met with joy by his supporters. That joy is in reality hope for what could be and hopefully will be with the Trump Presidency. When Air Force One entered Saudi air space six Saudi jet fighters came out and flew escort for the descent into Riyadh. The Crown Prince, Bin Salman came out to personally greet his arrival something he publicly did not do when President Biden visited. A long purple carpet stretched from the airplane steps to the waiting limousines while American music played from loudspeakers. The Saudis even rigged up a mobile McDonalds restaurant on the trailer of a large truck in reference to the President's legendary fondness for McDonalds cheeseburgers. Trump seems to have an affinity for Middle East people and especially their leaders because he shares a few things in common with them. He doesn't drink and he does not condemn their culture and way of life. Let me pause here for a moment and give a little history to illustrate my point. First we have George H.W. Bush's war to oust Saddam Hussein from Kuwait with its “this aggression will not stand rhetoric.” Then we have 8 years of Bill Clinton's no fly zone over Iraq with its starvation of hundreds of thousands, allegedly. We then follow that with 8 years of George W. Bush's Global War on Terror with its invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. We follow that with 8 years of Barack Obama's Afghanistan the good war as opposed to Iraq the bad war. Donald Trump comes in and tries to extricate himself from Afghanistan but Joe Biden finally does it, albeit with an extreme cost. Joe Biden almost immediately becomes embroiled in a European war between Ukraine and Afghanistan so it's basically been a 25-year struggle of war which means killing, dying, and total destruction. The leaders of the Middle East apparently see this man Trump with his prosperity instead of war rhetoric and they like it and are hopeful. His statements before the trip reflected the new attitude and purpose of the trip. He said he wanted to make new deals for peace and profit and that went over especially well in the Saudi Kingdom. Quote from the President, “a land of peace, safety, harmony, opportunity, innovation, and achievement right here in the Middle East is within our grasp.” That was apparently music to the ears of Bin Salman and when you think about it's hard for me to find fault with that ambition. Perhaps Trump's joyous reception is because his approach to foreign policy in general and the Middle East in particular, in contrast to all those presidents I just mentioned, is not ideological. To illustrate here's a quote from the President that was apparently well received in Saudi ears, “too many American presidents have been afflicted wi...

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he's still ready for talks with Russia's President Putin, but that Moscow is not serious about negotiations. He was speaking in Turkey, where he's met President Erdogan. Mr Zelensky accused Russia of disrespecting Turkey and the United States by sending a comparatively low- level delegation to Istanbul for talks, after Mr Putin decided not to attend. Mr Zelensky said he'd nevertheless send a delegation there, led by his defence minister.Also in the programme: More deadly Israeli airstrikes in Gaza - more than 100 people killed; and President Trump's plan to end birthright citizenship is heard in the US Supreme Court.(Photo: Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky.

In a move that took many by surprise, President Trump announced this week that the United States will lift long-standing sanctions on Syria. The decision represents a sea change for Syrians, as UN figures estimate that nine out of ten Syrians live in poverty. This move was also something countries like Saudi Arabia and Turkey had been calling for, with Turkish President Erdogan reportedly raising the issue in calls with President Trump. Steven Cook, the Eni Enrico Mattei senior fellow for Middle East and Africa studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, joins Thanos Davelis with the latest analysis.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Trump says US to lift Syria sanctions, secures $600 billion Saudi dealTrump's Middle East trip makes it a big week for Turkey's ErdoganFresh momentum seen in Washington for lifting sanctions on TurkeyEuropean Commission appoints Johannes Hahn as Special Envoy for CyprusCyprus hails new EU envoyUS gets back to EU on trade war ― hinting at Trump's willingness to find a deal

El presidente de Ucrania sí está en territorio turco, se ha reunido con Erdogan y ha asegurado que Putin no quiere la paz, aunque espera que pueda salir algún acuerdo durante la reunión de sus delegaciones.Hablaremos además de inmigración y tendremos entrevista sobre el Consejo del Ártico, un órgano que lleva meses muy complicados y que trata de continuar su labor clave para la protección de la región ártica.Escuchar audio

Mentre continuano gli scontri in Ucraina, il presidente Volodymyr Zelensky vola ad Ankara per incontrare il leader turco Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Nel frattempo, a Istanbul, le delegazioni di Russia e Ucraina aspettano di iniziare i negoziati. Ne parliamo con Gigi Donelli, inviato di Radio24 in Ucraina, Carolina De Stefano, docente di Storia e politica russa alla Luiss Guido Carli, ed Ettore Sequi, già segretario generale della Farnesina e Ambasciatore, oggi vice presidente di Sace.

Strana kurdských pracujících (PKK) se rozhodla ukončit ozbrojený boj proti Turecku a rozpustit se. Jednání probíhala za zavřenými dveřmi a podle politoložky Lucie Tungul není jasné, co bylo skutečně dohodnuto. „Od nezávislosti a nastolení levicového státu PKK ustoupila už na konci 90. let po zatčení Abdullaha Öcalana, který stále je v tureckém vězení. Poté začala usilovat o autonomii, spíš kulturní než územní. Svých cílů ale Kurdové nedosáhli,“ shrnuje pro Český rozhlas Plus.
