providing a glimpse into someone else's world. witness on al-jazeera. turkey's president says he will not lose an economic war with the u.s. . tumbles to a. this is a live from doha also coming up. hours of gun battles as taliban fighters storm the city of me in central afghanistan. the day of attacks and counterattacks and with a truce has been reached with israel. and we take a look at the impact of pollution climate change and tourism one of the world's

most important bodies of course up. here as president donald trump has doubled steel and tariffs on turkey to force the release of an american pastor who's being held on terrorism charges the threats came not long after turkish president. addressed his country's declining currency at a rally in the northeast on the lira has hit a record low after steadily falling all week blames it on what he's calling an economic war well on twitter president donald trump talked of additional measures taken against turkey saying i've just authorized the doubling of tariffs on steel with respect to turkey as their currency the turkish lira slides rapidly downwards against all very strong dollar. twenty percent and still fifty percent or relations

with turkey are not good at this time can be joins us now from washington d.c. so quite a steep announcement there in a rise in tariffs against the steel. exports from turkey was this to be expected. it wasn't unexpected given the signs of the escalations that have been taking place in just recent weeks what we've had is this tit for tat exchange between turkey and the united states if we back up a little bit it was just a week or so ago that in fact the trumpet ministration impose sanctions against two cabinet ministers over the continued detainment of an american pastor in turkey andrew brunson and then turkey response a sort of income mind with its own tariffs or rather sanctions against two more ministers here in the united states but we have to ask why all of this is happening not only do both of these leaders have

a reputation both donald trump an heir to one of not backing down but as well what's going on here is that there is a genuine frustration over differences between these two key allies and it has been simmering for many many years certainly turkey is upset that more allies did not come to his assistance during that failed coup in twenty sixteen the one that swept up this past or the united states also made turkey very angry with its use of kurdish fighters in the north in syria in the fight against eisel and turkey is also upset that the united states has not released the cleric that many have accused of inciting that twenty sixteen coup so the back and forth has been going on for some time but what seems to have raised donald trump's eye or even more is this belief that this american pastor that seems to be at the center of these most recent tit for tat tariffs and sanctions that he essentially thought he had struck

a deal with turkey's leader for the release of that pastor when in fact that pastor was not released but instead put on house arrest that's when the u.s. escalated the tensions and took action and i must be some kimberly about relations getting this bad when they're between two key nato allies. exactly and the rift doesn't appear in the short term that it's going to be resolved and it's having not just a diplomatic impact laura in terms of the fact that this is a very strategic ally for the united states it's having an economic impact as you touched on just at the beginning of this program the fact that the lira has tumbled losing a third of its value this year and you have to remember this isn't the only trade war that is going on between the united states and one of its sort of trusted partners we've also got escalations going on when it comes to steel aluminum tariffs in a trade war with canada the mexico in the european union then there's the whole escalating trade war with china that continues with with the threat of even more

tariffs being slapped on chinese goods in september so donald trump has found himself with a very complex chessboard of of terror of sanctions that continues to escalate and it has the potential to blow back on the president while the u.s. dollar right now is strong while the u.s. economy is strong many question whether or not the president could pay the political price for this if there starts to be some blowback in terms of the american sooner and lost jobs ok thanks very much for the update that from washington d.c. well speaking at a rally on friday afternoon president obama insisted that he will not lose the economic war with washington. the dollar will not stand in our way to know more about it i see it again i call on you all citizen to change the euros dollars and the gold that you are keeping beneath your pillows into liras no banks this is a domestic and national struggle we will not lose his economic will we will respond

we should make an honest source against rosengarten with our national currency. so because of who has more now from istanbul. turkish economy is made to be one of the fridge all economies like many other emerging markets and since the coup attempt in july two thousand and sixteen turkish leader out was under pressure the rate for one dollar was three point five last year around this time and today it's more than six lee arise however the latest political dispute between united states and turkey over their arrest of pastor bronson is actually challenging because it's turkish government supporters and the government itself see this as a political movement as a manifestation speculation over the turkish lira but the end of this market analysts warn that turkish economy has structural problems and turkey's finance minister and that's pressure minister barak trying to deliver messages that turkey

this is the twentieth week of these friday protests and it comes early a couple of days after the worst escalation of violence between hamas and israel since the two thousand and fourteen war that as yet it seems as if that truce seems to be holding there have been no reported rockets being launched but you may or may not have heard that then we are hearing already what sounds like live ammunition being fired here close to the border by israeli soldiers and we were already hearing reports of a couple of injuries at least from the palestinian ministry of health one person injured in rough and another person injured we believe in the north of the gaza strip it is tense here and as i say it seems as if any serious provocation by either side there are fears that we could yet again see another escalation of
