come to the program our top story u.s. president donald trump has escalated a feud with turkey doubling stale and adamantium tariffs as a monetary crisis pushes the country towards economic disaster at the heart of turkey's failing finances is its a volatile currency which is now for until record since the start of the year the turkish lira has lost thirty five percent of its value against the dollar west of that has happened since president russia type one we took office with hugely expanded powers a month ago well under one has now its citizens to sell their dollars and buy the lira instead to prop up the economy reports from istanbul. turkey its president. addressed this large rally and have this message for his citizens. to. there is only one us dollars euros or gold on the

pillars that you go exchange of polluted our banks this is the national domestic battle this will be my people's response to those who have waged an economic war against this turkey's currency has lost more than thirty per cent of its value so far this year at least fifteen per cent of that was just some thursday night the turkish gold army has been struggling for a few years of recombination of several financial and political factors the lira tumbled even faster after just presidential election which gave all executive powers to president our john i wish that k.p. or mr r. and his you know eighteen would be very ready ready to hear a robust economic program today after they have been elected fortunately they're a little bit late on that as a growing about fragile economy the lira was not protected against any current suspect lation especially after the two thousand and sixteen failed coup and

turkey's continuing dispute with the united states over a variety of issues has not made things easy the most urgent disagreement has been is the tension of an american pastor named andrew branson who is on trial on terrorism charges there is a currency crisis kind of promoted by the geopolitical risks which is obviously used by the american foreign policy decision makers another factor is turkey's unwillingness to join the recent u.s. sanctions against iran turkey buys energy from iran along with russia and azerbaijan now the crisis is being felt approach with the master selling of shares in european banks would generally have bigger exposure to the turkish kaname the dispute was supposed to ease as delegates from both sides gathered in washington this week but it didn't and it went to went further turks say the united states is trying to beat them with a financial stick and some even believe it's just. political move by present trump

to head off november's critical election now it's a question off how turkey will handle all these pressures while its currency is at ten all time low see an abcess solo al-jazeera a stumble or the white house is saying president raised the tower ifs on the grounds of national security alan fisher has more on that now from washington. well it's been described to me as two big international figures who don't like to back down who don't like to show weakness so there's no clear indication where this row between turkey and the united states is going to go we do know that it's a week ago that the united states decided it was going to sanction two senior members of the turkish government saying that no american business no american individual could do any sort of transaction with them and that was in response to the pastor andrew bronson who's come to be held under house arrest in izmir in turkey the united states you see he's an evangelical christian who has met many

people because of his ministry in turkey and that includes people from all different communities if you are tuckey you see that he was a key figure who spoke to people he shouldn't been speaking to before the field in twenty sixteen and will go through the turkish court system but this all goes back to beyond that or you'll remember that for tulo girland who is a turkish cleric he lives here in the united states president says he was behind the field coup in two thousand and sixteen the turks have asked for his extradition on a number of occasions that has been turned down by the united states so they tend to see andrew brunson's detention as being almost hit for tat there are also other problems as well at the united states upset turkey by using kurdish fighters and some of the battles it was waging in syria the united states isn't overly keen on some of the things that the turks have done in the offensive in northern syria as well so all of this please into

a big trade war with the united states saying that they are going to double the sanctions on steel and aluminum no the white house explains that the paperwork is being sent to the commerce department to make sure that this can be implemented soon and we're told that president trump is doing this because he sees what the talks are doing as a threat to u.s. national security. yemen's who the rebels have joined the united nations in calling for an independent probe into a saudi led coalition attack on a bus full of school children on thursday the un has held a special session on the strikes which killed fifty and wounded seventy others inside a province a saudi led coalition insists it struck legitimate targets are going to joe has the latest from jersey. it's hard to imagine a more disturbing and sickening image of the futility of war in the media. of the

secretary general antonio guterres called for an independent investigation the saudi government has already said it's going to in take a close look at what happened during those missile strikes on thursday but there are critics who are raising questions about whether it's the saudis who should be intrusted with coming up with the dents. now two people have been killed by israeli fire as fresh protests a place on the gaza israel border this according to the palestinian health ministry demonstrations attesting an uneasy truce reached between hamas and israel on thursday ceasefire followed two days of intense violence for sort least three palestinians killed andrew symonds has the latest from gaza. there's a truce but just here on gaza's border with israel there's no such thing as calm you see anger soon followed by live sniper rounds.

conditions dominate kane reports from berlin. sleeping on the airport floor rather than in a holiday hotel all because of the strike that's hit ryanair for these passengers their vacation is beginning with uncertainty and lots of tricky questions like this couple freshmen from the states and we landed here in berlin right yeah i mean really. they told us that the ryanair flight to athens that we had booked are being canceled because the. pilots on strike so we just went through a couple different ways of getting to athens and their line rebooked scaling up that's all they need the tonight and then tomorrow in the morning bouncing from that's the only thing to athens so what's behind this industrial action ryanair employs about four hundred pilots here in germany they are members of the pilots union cockpit and for the union issue with ryanair is very clear they want improved terms and conditions and they say ryanair really needs to reform.

does. today is not about want to debate ryanair and it wouldn't be possible any way against a transatlantic employee but what it is about is to signal to management that there needs to be an end to them trying to beat their own staff today you want to send a clear message to dublin ryanair must change so far at least the airline appears not to want to but as chief executive has accepted ryanair will take a financial hit it's hard to assess the damage of a new features from the one he said no quarter would still says there are fears this summer you go through with your first four percent you know it's trivial you get paid one percent so here's the damage that that's what this is. but not perhaps for those caught up in friday's strike action. al-jazeera had been shown a third airport. yes president has repeatedly threatened to end the so-called dreamers program which gives temporary protection to young people who came to america with

end of the dreamers program altogether new jersey's newly elected democratic governor of signing a law that expands rights to the dreamers allowing them to apply for financial aid to attend college and state. it's a direct rebuke to trump president trump and many of his republican enablers and congress have cast the worst aspersions on our dreamers but we're due to receive no better we know that economic progress could not be achieved without social progress new jersey now becomes the tenth state in america to offer financial aid to undocumented immigrants or dreamers just here in the state of new jersey it's expected to benefit over six hundred people but critics say the new law will be expensive and encourage undocumented immigrants from other states to move to new jersey interests he was ranked number one in the entire country for him plucks of

new un documented immigrants within the state we're already spending in excess of i believe two hundred twenty million dollars per year in public education funds just on the e.s.l. programs so it has a financially detrimental impact on the state. and supporters say it's a matter of fairness and i was there we believe firmly believe that all students should have access to financial aid nobody should be rushing to a dilemma of whether to pay for college out of i mean the cost of which are increasing year by here jersey's not only asking undocumented immigrants to stay and attend college but now also providing the money to do it gabriel's on doe. newark new jersey ancient objects looted from iraq during the two thousand and three invasion have been returned to the country and mesopotamian artifacts which
