the markets that they will abide by basic economic principles one of which is of course central bank in the pendants which in turkey's case has been eroded incrementally in the past couple of years another important step would be to abandon their obsession with low interest rates and. acknowledge that the central bank also needs to deal with inflation and that in the absence of that type of action the turkish lira will lose value in the manner that it has done in the past couple of months while speaking of the central bank we know that one of the measures announced will be to add about ten billion liras that's about when and how a billion dollars. and as well as three billion dollars equivalence of gold liquidity to the financial system so is that all going to help at all. definitely there will be short term benefits but the key matter which is the structural problems that that are lurking underneath unless those are addressed it

will just be a matter of kicking the can down the road and this is what the turkish government appears to have done in the past couple of years and this crisis or if you would call it a crisis that's a matter of debate but what we are seeing now is the culmination of a long series of events. which the government has managed to again delay until now but a combination of domestic instability of dawn having completely lost the trust of the markets and of course the global conditions no longer being as favorable as they were. in the past couple of years the combination of these is resulting in the level of instability that we're seeing as we await for more detail on what this action plan is going to be that is expected to be announced are you confident that this actual plan will be able to get on top of things will be able to get a handle on the economic situation in the country. well it's

definitely a much needed the government needs to show the market starts they acknowledge the source of the problem and they are moving to address it however the statements which we have seen from various sources from the government do not really indicate that this is the case. framing the whole issue as an economic war as a plot contrived by international speculators to bring down turkey and i've even heard the description of a second coup attempt but this time in economic terms these are not very promising in terms of showing the garments. really isn't in a college and what the issue is which which is in turn necessary to produce the correct solutions let me just ask you finally what all of this means for international markets and how important would have would it be for the global markets to contain all of this. turkey is

part and parcel of the global financial system several european banks have large stakes in turkish banks and of course turkish non-bank private sector groups have been taking massive amounts of credit from places like europe to fuel the growth that we have seen in the past couple of years so if turkey was to suffer and insolvency of some sort that would inevitably have an impact on a on a broader global scale of course the neighboring countries as well which have intense trade ties with turkey they would also bear the brunt of such an issue all right so we thank you very much for joining us from london. zimbabweans have been urged to unite as the country marks thirty eight years of independence the president elect emerson is addressing the crowd in his first appearances his

inauguration was delayed the opposition had filed an legal challenge over the results of july's election the president elect says it's time for the country to put the elections behind them under brace the future. the first. phase. is a great one yet as you know is. the economy and. our great nation. he learned of immense possibilities. we should never do but jim crow served dogs all the get to the reserves which in turn you know goes to big and. free. and prosperous. the blue one hermit also joining us from harare what's been the

reaction to what he has to say how are you. what he did you that was friday night and day to divide the country if you make that he told me was that he believes and he's let me and he blames the authenticity and he's the alliance for the post-election violence basically people were shot and killed by soldiers do you think you're going to set up a commission of inquiry to investigate what happened but he's urging all zimbabweans to put the left behind them and move forward the main opposition to the nelson chamisa release a statement as he always does well as it is nothing to celebrate on heroes day has is that some of the supporters for the system actually cause a hit by the ruling party and he says he insists that he won this election and the matter is in court how the judges decide what bob is awaiting to see whether it will be it when the go order the chinese will be declared the winner all within the country let's go to a christian action within sixty days so that it's all in the hands of the courts right now where does the legal process actually stand and what should we should

respect in terms of the legal complaint going forward. with anything but if your party is saying it's going to file papers telling ging the application filed by the opposition if that happens the opposition of three days to respond and then the judges will eventually sit it all depends on what they thinking what evidence they have and which way they rule if they say that there's no case that means when and goggle is sworn in within forty eight hours if they want to say selection people wait for sixty days or they could say they could order a recount they can go to. the way the opposition that some of the judges they are supposedly reading party they don't think they'll get a fair trial but there are some we thing you know a lot of people still support the president and some of the judges who aren't happy was removed maybe they could side with them all up in the air but. not going to interfere with their rights or hermits also saying too. well they heard some

of the public lands and state railway agencies in kenya have pleaded not guilty to corruption there among seventeen people charged with misusing public funds the allegations relate to a three billion dollar rail link that was inaugurated last year catherine sori has more from nairobi. well the seventeen suspects including very senior government officials have been charged with seventeen counts all of you know economy crimes corruption on abuse of office etc they have just pleaded not guilty and this specifically involves the standard gauge really the way they are accused of fraudulent authorizing. states to pay out money as compensation to individuals that did not exist and that does not exist and even land that already belongs to the state so this is a very significant development in the last few months we've seen the government

really ratcheting up its fight against corruption federal government officials have been arrested some of them are in court involving millions of dollars and you know scandals in public offices the president come out very strongly saying that he government is going to deal with corruption in this country there's been a lot of concern by people the president saying that it doesn't matter who you are how powerful you are how much money you have if you are quoting corrupt activities you're going to go to jail a lot of people really supporting him and think that it's about time that the government really takes up this fight against corruption saying that beyond people being arrested and taken to court kenyans want to see speedy trial convictions and they also want. to hear the news hour there's plenty more ahead coming up including we'll have more on the allegations of ballot stuffing and voter intimidation during mali's

of a polling station in a village north of timbuktu was killed by unknown gunmen but the president's camp says there should be no cause for concern. without any doubt this is the most transparent electoral process in mali's democratic history a few months ago a new electoral law and other reforms were introduced at the request of the opposition the government has agreed to count the results at every single polling station separately upon a demand from the opposition international observer missions have all praised the voting process in the first round. sunday's turnout was reportedly very low in parts of the country particularly in the north the main opposition party came in a distant second in the first round of voting in the two weeks since then opposition leader so my lissie failed to convince his colleagues and the other parties to join him in a united front that has left sisi with even less chances of winning there's

a vast amount of rain across the region that's what been seen across the philippines another ten excess of two hundred millimeters of rainfall in places this massive cloud just being fed in on this circulation of low pressure which is up towards high nine so as a result we're getting some significant flooding across luzon causing some real problems here and i think it may well be another couple of days before we start to see that flooding begin to subside because there's still this circulation there and you certainly see across more northern parts of the philippines significant rain coming across region central southern areas looking somewhat quieter house to be said meanwhile further towards the north we've had the remnants of what was typhoon yaki going across shanghai cause some real problems but who is on its way out on the weather here is quoting down. the weather. catarrh. national borders would be based on migration is polarized to include too strident

president elect. addressed crowds in his first appearance since his inauguration was delayed the opposition had filed a legal challenge over the results of july's election. indonesian officials say the damage caused by last sunday's powerful earthquake on long island will exceed three hundred forty two million dollars aid is slowly arriving in remote areas affected by the magnitude six point nine tremor emergency crews have started drilling for fresh water sources closer to the temporary shelters and tens of thousands of people are expected to stay in makeshift tents for weeks if not months having lost their homes so if we take a closer look at what's been hampering efforts to get help to those in need for days the lack of heavy lifting equipment have slowed down the search for possible survivors stuck under the rubble some rescuers were forced to dig by have and in the north of book nearly seventy five percent of homes were destroyed due to poor

construction many of the villages there became unreachable for days as a result of electricity cuts and communication blackouts last sunday's earthquake was the second to hit in a week a magnitude six point four tremors struck the popular holiday island on july the twenty ninth killing sixteen people damaged dozens of homes let's speak to rosemarie north she's the asia pacific communications manager for the international federation of the red cross as well as red crescent society is joining us from kuala lumpur thanks for speaking to us you recently came back from just tell us what you saw there and describe the operation one week on is it still an emergency response operation or has it moved on to become a recovery operation. thanks for having me on it's very much still an emergency response operation i came back today and what we're seeing in the field and what i'm hearing from the red cross teams is that they're still discovering people who

haven't been reached with assistance and at the same time they're delivering very basic emergency assistance food water medical care shelter of course we're starting to make plans further ahead but the focus right now is on reaching people in real need we know that the north was pretty much destroyed what be the worst affected area or are there other areas that are still unreachable. i heard today from a team that went out in the north to a community that hood was badly off but no one had reached them yet they had to stop the vehicle two kilometers away from the village and they had to proceed on foot they took with them some limited food and rice and the medical team so this is another group of people who hasn't been reached and probably hasn't been accounted for the damage hasn't been assist we think there are other communities like that so every day the red cross is fanning out to try and find people and help them and in terms of the work that the red cross does in these types of situations how long

would the red cross be involved in this operation providing some sort of assistance or when i talk about the red cross i'm really talking about the indonesian red cross who were there before long before this disaster and will be there long after so people like me kind of come in and out when we needed this this community based network of people who know their own conditions language they know the community they know their way around and that's what we really rely on in a situation like this as well so people will have the support of the red cross for the long haul and in terms of the priorities of what people are right away is a just the basic necessities that you were telling us about a moment ago. yes and i've also been talking to people and one woman told me now that she knew her son was safe her next priority was a toilet because they having to go out into the paddy fields or into the bush other

people tell us that they feel very very in secure because of all the aftershocks and fact the first big earthquake on the twenty ninth of july destabilised buildings that then came down on the fifth of august so we've had big aftershocks since then that have caused more damage people are very wary of going into the buildings even rebuilding at this point so there's a lot of. and solution to about the future also spoke to people in matter of the main town who told me they were sleeping in a car or sleeping in tents in the garden their houses looked undamaged but they're just third jittery they don't want to return what about the government's response to all of this and how much help there been from the outside international help that's coming in and also in terms of the coordination between the governments of the military as well as organizations such as yourself has there been much

coordination yes we did that with the government and with the other agencies on the ground you have to remember that long book isn't used to having big earthquakes so this really is a new situation where we're all having to figure out the best way to respond and make plans to work together right now and and for the long haul all right so rosemary north we thank you for giving us that update from kuala lumpur on the situation in lombok thank you thank you you know the european union has asked saudi arabia for more details about their arrests of female human rights activists and what charges they face some of the women had campaigned for the right to drive and an end to the kingdom's male guardianship system the arrests have been condemned around the world and canada is calling for their release and that led to the kingdom cutting ties with the country. well the u.s. president donald trump's decision to reimpose sanctions on iran is expected to have an impact on its neighbor iraq its shares

a fifteen hundred kilometer border with iran with good some people crossing daily the name reports from the border districts off in iraq. each day trucks slowly wind around treacherous roads in the zagg gross mountains carrying goods from iran to iraq since the u.s. announced it was reimposing sanctions against iran rumors and uncertainty are also traveling back and forth across the border iranian bus driver rahman adult is worried soon the border will close and his job of six years will disappear. that's a bit was going to give me an edge on his chest and really i don't know because you can expect anything here the politicians haven't made any agreements if they make an agreement it should be for the sake of the poor people iran is iraq's second largest trading partner it exports fruits and vegetables fuel and home furnishings

and for about a decade it is also provided electricity here and wind district and other iraqi border towns the iraq central bank has prohibited all iraqi banks from conducting business with iran in us dollars. on the words we think the situation will get worse by the day the iranian currency is dropping against the dollar it's halting business between iran and the kurdish region. people are already coping with an economic crisis in iraq shoe store owner robin raman says iranian shoes offer the right blend of quality and affordability for his cash strapped customers but they were dumped on. especially in the last few years we're buying a lot of shoes from iran the good quality but now the situation is different last week i was there and because of the fluctuation in the iranian currency against the dollar most of the factory ceased production so buying shoes in iran was difficult

. for as long as the almost fifteen hundred kilometer border has been recognized smugglers have crisscrossed between iraq and iran. won't come in the second choice uncontrollable because there are social historical and perhaps religious relationships between the two countries in the end these relations trade will continue. but merchants are wondering how to conduct business in such an unpredictable climate with no guidance coming from their government yet and no idea what will happen next in iran natasha can aim in penge when district on the iraq iran border. dozens of white supremacy have been outnumbered by counter protesters outside the white house in the u.s. capitol the marches were held to mark one year since violent protests in charlottesville brought long running racial tensions in the u.s. out in the open mike hanna reports. supporters of the extreme right wing gather

outside a d.c. metro station good at by a number of onlookers but the rallies principle organizer insists he simply asserting the right to freedom of speech white people are having a minority right here on the face feel discrimination on twitter so if people see something right they see the periphery and. escorted by police the right wing is begin their march to the designated rally area near the white house where counter protesters were gathering it's kind of ridiculous that in two thousand and eighteen i have to make the sign that our friends have to kind of come here i saw a really great sign or that said i'd rather be at brunch but i have to come protest nazis he said among them family groups intent on making the voices heard we wanted to be part of all the positive energy resisting some of the mean nasty spirit to

spirit to the. examples of the neo nazis and it's so magnificent look coming people are out here people can now they would work we want to show the people who are here that the nazis the white supremacists that are here now what they're doing and what the police they have are unacceptable and they're un-american it's not ph out and get us the real americans we love this country we will not tolerate that kind of behavior but here to some who say they are prepared to use violence rather than ideas to oppose the far right members of the self-styled anti process movement intent on remaining anonymous by d.c. standards this is a small demonstration. still throughout the day it became clear that the counter protesters composed of disparate groups far outnumber those that label themselves the old right huge by those here as white supremacists the groups were kept apart by a maze of police.
