years later george bush sr saw his son george w. bush become the forty third president of the us i'm joined now by our correspondent . in washington what reactions have there been to george bush senior's death. well we've already seen reactions pouring in from across the u.s. and across the political spectrum we have the first reaction from president donald trump in which he said having read here through his essential authenticity disarming wit and unwavering commitment to faith family and country president bush inspired generations of his fellow americans to public service to be in his words a thousand points of light illuminating the greatness hope and opportunity of america to the world and we've seen that reaction from former president obama saying that his life is a testament to the idea that public service is a noble calling president clinton saying that he is grateful for his friendship with president bush he was a really a man who was admired broadly across the political spectrum especially after he left office and continued working in public service in the way that he did br

everyone asked about their families another man who i spoke with who said that george w. bush has in his mind the last great president for international affairs someone who really projected image that he approved of to the rest of the world. people who are alive and remember his presidency remember really just a different time in american politics as we've said one where president could get bipartisan support for things like the american with disabilities act which requires access to buildings for people with disabilities in this country and it's sort of a solemn harkening back to that era all right melinda this is of course a president who was very much outward looking multi-lateralism was basically his invention almost so to speak here in germany where we are based of the flags flew half mast what's the significance of president bush today here in berlin for germans but i think if we had what was president bush's greatest achievement it was surely navigating the end of the cold war and to that achievement absolutely belongs to the unification of germany he wrote in the book that he coa

these covers are from the george w. bush era so little bit dated of course the spiegel those people has been criticized for many rather blunt still are covers in the trump era his critics went after though his broad brush strokes a reporter from the german public broadcasters e.d.f. got involved he interjected every real journalist is outraged by the fabricated story she said to richard grinnell on twitter but every journalist should be outraged by what you the ambassador make of it to you yourself are critical about german politics but nobody calls you anti german so he and then went back and forth on twitter about these these very importance of you all through this morning so where does this story go i mean at the moment the institution of dish beagle its integrity is on the line how do they get out of that and do we just keep seeing back in full on twitter right so you know the current the current issue they go through a long investigation of how this all happened they apologized time and again government officials complaining about unfavorable news coverage is of course nothing

from the george w. bush era instead they went after his broad brush strokes we have a we had a reporter then from the german public broadcasters e.d.f. here in germany he interjected every real journalist is outraged by fabricated stories but every journalist should be outraged by what you make of it too you yourself are critical of german politics there is now you can see but nobody calls you anti german and he and grinnell went back and forth on twitter all you can see for yourself this morning for several hours. we're still going i mean in one hand some of this is not new government officials complaining about unfavorable media coverage is certainly nothing new in fairness certainly not unique to the trump administration barack obama's own ambassador to germany john emerson in two thousand and fifteen wrote a very similar letter to speak ill for a story that they did about u.s. sanctions on russia saying many of the same things. and spiegel is often criticized for what's seen as outlandish editorial style layout style not just against the u.s. but in general and of course al

thousand and three george w. bush in the u.s. he declared major combat operations to be finished in iraq in two thousand and eleven president obama announced the withdrawal of troops from afghanistan both were criticized for doing so prematurely do you see parallels to trump's announcement concerning syria i see one big peril is that the u.s. always tends to step out of its engagement without really making sure what comes afterwards but there's a big difference because in syria it's not about the policy inside the country it's not about. the u.s. went to afghanistan they went to iraq to change the ruling regime there this is not the case in syria the us went to syria to fight and now to contain iran so this is regional strategic purposes regime change in damascus it's a complex proxy war there in syria as we know the us has relied heavily on kurdish forces to fight islamic state that's always been a thorn in turkey's side which regards the kurds as terrorists is the news from washington a green light for turkey to move against the kurds i think so and this is the big catastrophe for
