Turkey PM in 'decisive' US talks

Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan is in Washington for what Ankara has called a decisive meeting with President George W Bush on Kurdish rebels in north Iraq.
Turkey has threatened to send troops across the border to hit bases used by the Kurdish PKK rebels unless the US and Iraq do more to stop attacks.

The Turkish government is under public pressure to use force against the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party).

But Washington has urged Ankara not to launch cross-border strikes.
