when east and how does iraq. zero. zero zero and welcome to the al-jazeera news out lie from my headquarters in doha the product coming up in the next sixty minutes president everyone calls on turks to support their currency as the value of the lira plunges amid a widening valve of the united states. chemical company monsanto has had to the two hundred eighty five million dollars damages for failing to warn about the health risks of a wheat. the u.n. calls for a credible and transparent investigation into
2:01 am
a sound the led coalition air strike that killed school children in yemen. a delay and emma said man in god was in all the ration legal challenges postponed the crown the moment those involved ways president. and dozens were injured during protests and book arrest as tens of thousands returned from the cities to demand the resignation of romania's government. the us president has escalated a feud with turkey doubling steel and added many in tariffs as a monetary crisis pushes ancora towards the economic brink at the heart of turkey's failing finances as its volatile currency which is now fall into a record low since the start of the year the turkish lira has lost thirty five percent of its value against the dollar much of that decline has happened since president of egypt five at the on rita office with hugely expanded powers
2:02 am
a month ago well at the un has now urged citizens to sell their dollars and buy lira instead to prop up the currency of reports from istanbul. turkey as president. yes this large rally and have this massive for his citizens yes. if there is anyone who has dollars euros or gold under their pillows as you go exchange for lirot our banks this is the national domestic battle this will be my people's response to those who have wage an economic war against us turkey's currency has lost more than thirty per cent of its value so far this year at least fifteen percent of that was just on thursday night the turkish going to be 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. or mr r.
2:03 am
and his you know eighteen would be very really ready to hear a robust economic program today after they had been elected are fortunate with a little bit later 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
2:04 am
in european banks would generally have bigger exposure to the turkish ganymede 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 they you know. states is trying to beat them with a financial stick and some even believe it's just a political move by president trump head off november's critical election now it's a question of how turkey will handle all these pressures while its currency is at ten all time scene up to solo al-jazeera a stumble. but it's got more on this now we're joined by the chief market economist at spartan capital securities and he's joining us live from new york very good to have you with us on al-jazeera so what steps could president of the one take now to help the economy seems to be ruling out you know the obvious ones whether they're economic or political he says he won't raise interest rates release the american
2:05 am
pastor. well i think the first to begin with i think you know if the release is the american past that would show some sign of goodwill and perhaps maybe you know the trumpet ministration might back off somewhat on these heavy duties that were imposed on then and of course the other thing is that the central bank is probably going to have the raise rates. you know maybe two or three fold in the present levels if that doesn't happen the speculation against the turkish lira will continue and that means that. we could see crises developing then you're old and as you know some of the banks in the southern region of euro land have exposure to turkish that debt.
2:06 am
this speculation continues and turkey should implode then we could see a renewed crises on the european banks especially in countries like spain france and italy at the despite all this president and the law on maintaining that he is not going to take any of the steps that we have talked about how long can he and take you to take a check on a me would stand this sort of fresh air well you know it all depends and obviously the speculation is not going to let up i would be a bit surprised if we come in monday morning and we see a renewed attack on the turkish lira and if that continues then the markets will probably force him to do something or he's at risk of being toppled or are we going to see the sort of you know economic crisis in that we saw two thousand and one.
2:07 am
oh no question about it i think you know that will happen i said a few moments ago that the. going through. mean the crises. will extend over into europe and you do think mr gardener that this could cost this president politically so much of his success has been due to the economic prosperity tikki had seen under his rule so the declining economy could cost him to. say look we work no matter where you are when you have a decline in your car or me or a car to me that's about. you know implode. those are always that element of political risk it's no different. than any other country.
2:08 am
to thank you very much for your time on those that's joining us live from new york thank you. let's move on to other news now and a u.s. jury has ordered that the makers of a controversial weed killer to pay two hundred and eighty five million dollars in damages a california groundskeeper who's dying of cancer accuse monsanto of ignoring the health risks of its product round up to wayne lee johnson's lawyers of the company's product gave him a form of cancer called non hotchkin lymphoma monsanto since it will appeal the ruling let's go live to our correspondent mike hanna in washington d.c. for more on the story so tell us more mike about the judge's ruling and what he had to say here. well this is very much a landmark judgement and one most notice world that there are thousands of cases pending against the company in particular against the weed killer roundup so now you are likely to see these cases occurring in courts throughout the united states
2:09 am
following this judgment now of significance to is that off that two hundred eighteen million dollars awarded two hundred fifty million dollars were described as punitive damages now in order for that to be achieved the jury had obviously thought that the company had acted with malice and oppression against the plaintive this is a very significant point because it indicates that the jury believe the company did know that the we did contain a carcinogenic and despite a request for further information from those who use it it continued to insist that the roundup itself that we've killer is not a cancer course that's despite the w.h.o. classifying life os eight that's the ingredient in round up as a probable human carcinogen why does it remain legal in the us and will it remain legal in the us do you think following this ruling. well this has been
2:10 am
a massive debate going on for years within the us the environmental protection agency within the us found a couple of years ago that it is not necessarily gleiser genic basically carcinogenic basically kicking the can down the road as it were however the evidence in this case is centered around this particular point for four weeks a jury heard expert after expert arguing this particular issue now what emerged during the process as well is that the company itself had got a lot of academic research written every time a report came out saying that this element did cause cancer the company would brief an academic work denying that this was the case so this is something that has been going on for a long period of time whether the e.p.a. is mind is now focused on the fact given that
2:11 am
a jury one jury at the moment has found that the substance does cause cancer maybe the e.p.a. will be forced into a review but before that you are going to have as i said thousands of case cummings before us courts in the months and years ahead and we also have that monsanto saying that they're going to appeal mike very much so very clearly they argue that the jury were wrong they continue to insist that the weed killer did not cause cancer they continue to insist that they do not inform people who actually use it they are going to argue to have higher court if they possibly can against this verdict because as i said it could open the gate of millions and millions of damages being paid out and eventually lead to the complete ruin of the company itself mike thank you very much for that for now that is mike hanna live and washington d.c. thank you. now the sollie

2:15 am
review if more is this. well for more than three years the saudi amorality led coalition has been bombing what the rebels and we have in the campaign is in support of the exiled yemeni president. hadi as had devastating consequences and has led to calls for arms sales to saudi arabia and its allies to be suspended in march the us state department approved the sale of six hundred seventy million dollars worth of anti-tank missiles to solve the arabia the u.a.e. is the second biggest test. nation for american arms exports britain exports nearly half of all arms to saudi arabia since twenty fifteen london has license five point eight billion dollars worth of arms thirty yards from a city and spain also supply the saudis and the u.a.e. with weapons some european states have reduced their arms sales and protest against the war in yemen belgium the netherlands norway and germany have suspended licenses for arms sales to those countries in the sale of the emirates he led coalition well
2:16 am
anderson with us from the campaign against the arms trade and he said specialist government has hypocritical policies towards heaven i think it exposes the rank hypocrisy at the heart of u.k. foreign policy where the u.k. ambassador has rightly talked the humanitarian concerns in yemen and yet u.k. government has licensed billions of pounds worth of arms that are being used in yemen i think what lies behind it is the geo political strategy but also frankly money and money talks macedo regime spends billions of pounds and arms miyuki every year unfortunately many of whose weapons are being used in yemen right now is the u.k. fighter jets are flying over yemen or the u.k. bombs in the u.k. missiles that should be dropped from the sky pool after paul has shown the overwhelming majority of few public or firmly opposed to these arms exports in fact polling done in march this year a phone but only six percent of people in view key believe these arms sales to are
2:17 am
acceptable and they are having a catastrophic and we have seen we've seen the way it is calm from is the u.k. politics as well where when the saudi crown prince was visiting london in february he was given the fool red carpet treatment and yet no matter how many terrible devastating attacks have happened no matter how many homes have been destroyed how many lives have been lost was arms sales of continues. we have plenty more ahead on the news hour including the dreaming of college some u.s. states step in to help undocumented young people barred from accessing financial aid and. victory for manchester united as they kick off a new premier league season against leicester. the inauguration of the president has been delayed because of a legal challenge to his electoral victory earlier lawyers for the opposition
2:18 am
movement for democratic change alliance follow their case for the supreme court and they say they have evidence of fraud and election breaking out of the toss has more . this is the first time in zimbabwe's history an inauguration has been stopped the m.d.c. alliance party say they want the election results overturned they say they have evidence forms that show that the results were tampered with the judges could meet quickly if they think this evidence is weak they could throw the case out if they want more time to look at the evidence that could take a couple of days if they don't meet over the weekend monday and choose their public holidays here which means they'll meet on wednesday they'll fourteen a day to make a decision and i can do is wait president elect city respects the court's supporters aren't thrilled with us opposition supporters are static but most above wins think are concerned about the economy this election was different from other
2:19 am
elections regardless of who people voted for a lot of people we spoke to whether the opposition would say it's the first election on the ballot they hope for a fresh start especially when it comes to the economy they're worried because they're so that you can business community has warned you don't get your house in order we can come and invest we can come and create jobs people are concerned the longer this political stalemate drags on the more negative effect it's going to have on the economy. now cameron's government says it will investigate a video apparently showing the military shooting at people and this to international says it's verify the video through what was testimony and analysis of weapons and uniforms a spokesman for president poor be a says the video was released to undermine the government ahead of elections. let's get more on this knowledge oin by the advocacy director for africa at amnesty international and he's joining us on scott from washington d.c. very good to have you with us on algis they are so firstly tell us more about this
2:20 am
video and what was seeing it yes thank you very much for having me that video documents. cameroonian soldiers basically lining up men women and in the far north and basically committing actually judicial executions the soldiers and can be heard on the t.v. saying that they're committing it coming cause the type of operation it seems like the footage was by one of their own soldiers so it is very clear and as you said we've been able to confirm that these are indeed cameroonian soldiers and that there are no. operation based on the fact that this has happened before and that this seems to be a pattern of operation by the security forces in the country well that's right amnesty has said that this is more credible evidence to support the allegations that cameron's forces have committed grave crimes against civilians. that is
2:21 am
correct. in twenty seventeen we released a report that documented incidences of torture by the korean security forces the elite forces known as the her who had been operating in a camp call sound like these kinds of. treatment beatings and action for executions even proceed those kinds of incidents there's years a culture of impunity the government has been fairly dismissive calling the concerns raised by both domestic and international human rights group says. not credible so today's announcement that they're going to actually investigate as an incredibly important positive step but of course a single incident is not going to address all of the incidents of abuses that have been documented prior and mr al queda given everything you've said do you believe
2:22 am
the investigation into this incident will be credible especially because they've also said that this video has been released to discredit the government ahead of those upcoming elections i think we have concerns we're going to wait to see what the membership and the formats of the investigation is and we're hoping that the international community in particular the countries that support cameroon in providing security assistance insist. impartial independent best a geisha because not only do they need to get to the truth of this and hold those people accountable they need to hold themselves accountable for the cameroonian population that is now increasingly worried that their own security forces may be their greatest threat stockwell thank you very much for your time annual and sides of the situation that is amnesty international's though they are quickly joining us live from washington d.c. thank you. right to remain here now where dozens of people have been injured after

2:24 am
a big problem in romania for a long time and people are angry about that and feel that the system needs to change so tonight's protests there were an estimated one hundred thousand in bucharest and maybe another thirty thousand in other cities so it was a large protest it wasn't as large as the half million people we saw last february in february two thousand and seventy when the government first tried to pass. some legislation that would have weaken the rule of law but it's the largest protests we have seen in its eight nine months so it was large anyway but then what happened tonight it was shocking it was very surprising in the parts of the protests have been have been peaceful i have been covering remaining now for five years and tonight was the first night i've ever been tear gassed it's the first night i've ever seeing the use of water cannons by the security forces it's the first night seeing large scale clashes. now for the twentieth week in succession

2:38 am
government and left us government forces alone as the fark critics however said the court lacks the powers to hold the culprits accountable. manuel de parle reports. is a grieving mother her son who was murdered by members of the colombian military in two thousand and eight. she was told her son was the leader of an enemy insurgency you know says that's impossible as her son lived with both severe physical and intellectual disability but i mean. it was hard for me to be told that a boy with such an innocence. as being a member of an armed group. over a period of six years thousands of young men between the ages of eighteen and thirty were falsely accused of being anti-government insurgents. while the colombian government was fighting a war against disk or as innocent colombian civilians were being rounded up by the
2:39 am
hundreds some were tortured killed and dumped in mass graves. the families of the victims appeared before a special tribunal recently established in. fourteen members of the military prison sentences of upwards of forty years were in attendance by testifying before the special tribunal these soldiers were allowed to carry out their sentences at a military prison. two thousand and two and two thousand and nine assassinations grew exponentially and they happened to coincide with former president counter-insurgency director which gave members of the military incentives for positive results in combat. human rights organizations have registered more than five thousand seven hundred victims that means that these false positives occurred throughout the region which leads us to believe there was a policy behind the killings. the mandate of the tribunals was recently amended by
2:40 am
the colombian congress and exempts and former president one man with santos from being forced to testify the special tribunal is facing a lot of criticism the office of the prosecutor for the international criminal court is observing the series if it determines that. willing to really investigate and prosecute these cases the i.c.c. could open its own investigation. going over old photographs of her son says her story is that of thousands of families in colombia. that my son was very considerate every day who would come up to stay with his hands behind his back and hand me a rose he would say mom i thought of you i think that's what i miss the most and that's what they owe me. this money no says her hope is that through this special tribunal what happened to her son will never happen to anyone ever again and. over to. the u.s.
2:41 am
filemon a building barriers to try and contain. still raging and southern california more than twenty one thousand people have been told to leave their homes the state of emergency has been declared so that more ways. to flood fight the flames police have arrested and charged a fifty one year old man for deliberately starting the so-called holy fire in lake elsinore. now u.s. president donald trump has repeatedly threatened to end the so-called dreamers program which gives temporary protection to undocumented young people who came to the u.s. with their parents but even if they stay the dream eligible for the loans many of them need to attend college but now some states to help them with that as gabriel is on the reports from new jersey. was yet the chance of teenagers wanting the opportunity to go to college in america who can't afford it there the so-called dreamers from the dhaka program started by
2:42 am
barack obama in two thousand and twelve it gave temporary protection from deportation to undocumented migrants who arrived in the u.s. as children but dreamers are barred from getting government aid for college most coming from working class families it means college is out of reach such as for this teenager whose mom couldn't afford the college fees she barely makes it now with all the bills so i think a college tuition on to that is unthinkable. while president donald trump is into 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 did do jersey go
2:43 am
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 on 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 to have. supporters say it's a matter of fairness and i was there we believe firmly believe that all students
2:44 am
should have access to financial aid nobody should be rushing to a dilemma of whether to pay for college added i mean the cost of which are increasing year by here jerseys not only asking undocumented immigrants to stay and attend college but now also providing the money to do it gabriel is on doe. newark new jersey. the travel plans of fifty five thousand people across europe have been disrupted after ryan air pilots went on strike one six of the budget carriers flights have been canceled as harlots in germany sweden belgium and the netherlands walked off the job of pay and conditions on a cane reports from. sleeping on the airport floor rather than 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 fresh in from the states when we landed here in berlin right yeah i mean
2:45 am
