was in response to an american consulate employees being arrested in istanbul accused of links to last year's failed coup in turkey turkey immediately suspended its own visa services in the us and is now reported to have issued a warrant to question a second u.s. consulate worker richard tither one expressed his disappointment during a visit to ukraine. above all this decision is very upsetting. for the u.s. embassy in ankara to take such a decision and promoted it is upsetting. our foreign ministry colleagues have contacted their u.s. counterparts over the issue. of turkey's currency and main stock index have both dropped sharply since both countries suspended these services for each other's nationals observers mamadou has more on this diplomatic dispute. in the latest sign of fraying diplomatic relations between two nato allies the us say it

was suspending the issuing of visas to turkey nationals twenty four hours later turkey retaliated through its embassy in washington with a tape but that effectively mirrors the want released by the united states with some exceptions the move effectively blocks turks from traveling to the united states and americans to turkey and definitively. from the americans. or already there warning. at all with. regard to the american interest the dispute comes just days after u.s. consulate employee who was arrested on charges of espionage and alleged attempts to damage the constitutional order in turkey. attack each national is also accused of having links with the cleric for to. the u.s.

denies those charges turkey has also expressed a depressed rational by its fruitless calls for the united states to extradite guillen he's accused of planning the failed july two into sixteen coup but denies any involvement. as others have also indicated the coup was a scheme but who planned it who was involved in it. thousands of people have been detained in a cut down since the failed coup including u.s. citizens tuckey remains a valuable nato ally it is home to the indian peace as true to dick military facility for the u.s. in the war against isel turkey is also part of the u.s. led coalition against isis but ties with washington are strained over u.s. support to the syrian kurdish fighters the y.p. . they're viewed by turkey as an extension of the outlawed kurdish workers pertti b

k k to the us though the white p.d. is the most effective fighting force against i saw mohammed oh i'll just say. let's go live now tell us state department correspondent all hey she's in washington d.c. for us and passe this dispute suddenly isn't helpful is it to i the country's economy right now. it isn't and turkey is a little bit more vulnerable because tourism is such a huge part of their economy and it's been suffering during the crackdown as for its part the u.s. obviously tourism is a vital interest story here and that is also been down really ever since president donald trump was inaugurated talk about international tourism so this could have a big impact besides this being a diplomatic row though this will impact individual people people who for america hope to travel to turkey and people in turkey who wanted to come to the united states whether for business or for family here this is going to have a real concrete impact and it is just the latest and what has become

a long list of differences between both turkey and the u.s. under both the administration of president barack obama and now president donald trump or particle he lived in washington for a stunt for that party well meanwhile iran is promising a crushing response if the u.s. designates its elite revolutionary guard as a terrorist group the patch was made a week before president will trump is expected to announce his rejection of the iran nuclear deal once that happens the u.s. congress can then decide whether to reimpose sanctions supposed to betty that iran says it's taking very seriously same bus route he has this update from tehran. in the last few days the headlines here have been dominated by defiant rhetoric from iranian leaders who say that any actions by the united states to impose new sanctions or to abandon the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal will be met with a strong response at a news conference iran's foreign ministry spokesman backroom hosmer has said that

it would be a strategic mistake for the white house to place the country's revolutionary guard corps on a list of terror organizations and that he hoped for a more rational response from the u.s. president the language in recent days from the revolutionary guard itself has been much stronger the chief commander has said that if the united states was to take such an action then its bases in the region would be considered strategic targets and that its troops in the region would be given the same status in the eyes of the iranian forces as isis fighters and even as countries who helped negotiate the nuclear dealers the united states not to take any actions to abandon it iran wants people to know that it will meet any new challenges from a position of strength it's posturing on both sides that is putting the obama administration's hard won nuclear deal in jeopardy while the us president himself is embroiled in a bit of back and forth with a powerful us republican senator bob corker who is chair of the senate foreign relations committee and is set to retire launched

a remarkable attack on the weekends on twitter he said that it's a shame the white house has become quite an adult day care center trying to claim senator corker had begged him for an endorsement ahead of a congressional election in his state of tennessee then in an interview with the new york times called to accuse trump of tracing the presidency like a reality t.v. show and making direct threats that could stand a country into a world war three. at least twelve people have drowned after a boat carrying wreckage of refugees from mammal to bangladesh capsized said of those who died were children it is the third such accidents since people started fleeing violence and. sixty people drowned twenty boats capsized last month. has more from cox's bazar in bangladesh. with news that yet

another boat full of refugees capsized while it was attempting to cross from me and more to bangladesh comes another reminder of the magnitude of this refugee crisis and the fact that we're going to refugees are still trying to flee and come into bangladesh this area you see behind me these people that are here they all crossed by foot into bangladesh just earlier today we've heard horrific tales from them about what happened to them was a woman over there who told us that her husband was executed in the past week by me in mars' military there's a young boy over here showed us a wound on his leg said he got out when the me and maher army shot at the group that he was with very sad stories more reminders that this exodus doesn't seem as though it will in anytime soon that's one reason why aid groups humanitarian organizations are so concerned about the plight of these people and a nearly released video by the u.k.'s disasters emergency committee shows the huge

scale of the rahane crisis. numbers of refugees have been forced to settle in the colley refugee camp just want to several in bangladesh around five hundred and fifteen thousand rand to have arrived in the country from a law. there's a national committee of the red cross is reducing its operations in afghanistan seven members of its staff of being killed there this year alone six died in an attack on a convoy in february and last month the physiotherapists was shot dead by one of her patients another four workers have been abducted exposure to reason has become . our greatest challenge and. we know that there is no zero risk in afghanistan and we are not aiming at that we don't want to build. differently our security than we have always done our security is built on

acceptance and dialogue and that comes from. meaningful service is that can be provided to people spain's deputy prime minister is warning the government will act on any catalan declaration of independence catalans president is due to address the regional parliament on tuesday and the national governments worried it will vote to unilaterally declare independence catalonia as high court is also the spanish national police to provide extra security at the court building in case that declaration goes ahead. if the catalan president declares unilateral independence we will have to take measures and that decision will be made by the government of spain we will try to have a place groups join us but as i am saying that declaration will have a response to sarah's join a whole has more now from barcelona almight decision to deploy spanish police to the high court. well arguably this move has more symbolic significance than it does

political significance because there they are a line of national police vans lined up outside the high court here in barcelona a substantially unusual sight on the streets of barcelona on the streets of catalonia a hugely provocative site for anybody in favor of independence and it points to the level of anticipation ahead of the speech by carlos pleased to mark the regional president of parliament tomorrow evening whether or not he will unilaterally declare independence from spain and the question of independence of course leads to the question of what happens the day after nobody really knows but among the things that will change and change very quickly is that institutions of state like this court will change hands which is why the president of the high court here appealed to the supreme court to say look send us some additional reinforced security to stand alongside the most hostile squadron couple of his own police force just in case to protect the integrity of the building in those inside so this is a judicial decision it's not

a political decision as such yet having said that though it is very clear that the use of section one hundred five of the constitution which would revoke catalonia autonomy it's never been used before but the government in madrid has made it very clear they may well be prepared to use it the day after any declaration of independence here. on the program kurdish iranis. to punish them. and condemnation. acquitted of war crimes. however got to get autumn flowing now whether the moment that westerly flow the winds coming in from the atlantic city. streaming in the fair amount of cloud and

welcome back undermined the top stories on al-jazeera a diplomatic dispute between washington and ankara has intensified with turkey issuing a warrant to question a second u.s. consulate official us a suspended visa services the turkish nationals turkey riyadh retaliated by doing the same to american visitors. at least twelve people have drowned after a boat carrying ranger refugees from a lot of bangladesh capsized ten of those killed were children. and spain's deputy prime minister has warned the central government will act on any declaration of independence by the castle and regional parliament which may vote for succession on tuesday. now iraq has already taken measures against its semi autonomous kurdish region for the independence vote it's held last month and now kurdish pharma say they're being punished by neighboring iran too they're accusing

tehran of stemming the flow of water to border towns hold up the homemade reports from northern iraq. it's been a tough season for many kurdish fire. and there is concern that this is just the beginning of a series of bad ones. usually produces watermelon string beans and now he has to make choices as the quality of his crops has declined. if there was enough i could plant this land but now we only work on two. we need to estimate how much water there is before working the land and we have to make a choice if they continue like this we will have to abandon the land. the problem started a few months ago when across the border iran closed the dam on the little river which is shared by both countries some here say it all started when the kurdish

referendum was first announced but iran says. for its own domestic consumption here it meant that during the summer season farmers couldn't. and most of the harvest went to waste farming. but. well. underground water is becoming scarce faced with this problem one hundred thirty deeper well to save his fish farming business. the lack of water. on the fish the size also depends on the quality of water. and clean water we don't do that anymore from the first and it goes out from.

but this is not sustainable for much longer many subscribers have also gone dry. the water is trickling back again but the flow remains at less than eighty percent of what it used to those living in the area say they only get three hours of water . you can see with the water level used to be we build these dams. it's primary emergency reaction so we can stock some water that can feed the city and the areas the pumps need a certain level of pressure to function water is not something to be neglected and it's not replaceable i think the crisis will grow. the little zab river also feeds into can lake one of two that produces hydro electricity in the kurdish region here to the level is going down so far negotiations between iran and iraq's kurds haven't gone anywhere and kurdish authorities have now been threatening to cut off water supplies to central and southern iraq to provide for their own. put up the
