formerly an advisor to the indian finance minister and chairman of the center for policy alternatives he joins us from hyderabad mongo to swami these two currencies the rupee and the turkish leader they're not linked in any explicit way they're not pegged to each other so why is this having such a toxic reaction in india when i don't think you know that we're going to look at the year. the relation to you earlier we're. in the last month what is the you know going to last two months that will tell you it was ok so then confusion different things happening you know as soon as it has increased in one of those sixteen or so billion dollars it's a one or two million dollars worth of believe it was more a little similar to yours yeah i would tell you that was it this year you were active a little as one will that has if it please as well are on the
6:01 pm
dollar. about it apart from that they use it by a lot of treasury bar go as well that others find for you who is clear. and then family and normally what happens if the dollar is. going to get. together with the people who keep the money abroad or it's you know this is a lot now and that is also ok i'll get one thing now that. i just want to interrupt you with with one brief point given that the indian economy is not the same old will as the turkish economy even if mr erdogan won in ankara manages to to hold the flow this downward spiral of the turkish lira if that contagion has spread independently to weigh you all might it be more difficult for the indian government to step in and do something to mitigate the losses there. i don't i don't think
6:02 pm
that's a good just because you know. we had to be beat along with michelle along with south africa going to a few countries called to be fired. and then been dead for a wider because the plaintiff had a kind of honor those who break up and we haven't had that it was a bad we had the biggest and there was well that's not all done all the other things are happening the deal of you know is there's a little problems but it's not a lot of people here the medic and the human physical problems actually there are there is even here it's rather friendly to who residents are so you know it is very talented but realises he wasn't going to be part of it we're likely going to be one of the ones that so i think things are good but in a sense. macroeconomic. situation if i was close at the start of
6:03 pm
the year. ok we'll leave it there many thanks for talking to us. about. the battle for the afghan city of gasoline into day five and shows no signs few signs of ending according to the u.n. as many as one hundred fifty civilians have been killed since the taliban began its attack afghanistan's military is sending in reinforcements after the president called an emergency meeting with police and the military chief correspondent just recently returned from the afghan capital kabul so clearly the afghan government was caught on the back foot here and they're playing catch up all the winning beginning to get there while they want people to believe they're winning for sure every day we've had statements from them saying we we have this under control they're clearing we're doing a clearing operation at this point and the taliban that's a few straggling kind of fighters in the city but that's it and it is vastly different to what we're hearing from residents on the ground who are still sheltering in their homes still hearing rockets gunfire airstrikes running out of
6:04 pm
food and water and saying that they are seeing under siege can the taliban sustain what they've been doing for five days. residents this morning said that they're seeing more and more taliban on the streets and the taliban themselves are putting out statements saying that we're running checkpoints and taking trucks and weapons and essentially stocking ourselves within the city hiding out in residential areas so they're essentially entrenched themselves in people's homes and are relying on civilians to kind of. taking me from the military gangs so it's incredibly difficult battle for the afghan military trying to get into the city and then trying to win all these taliban fighters out is anyone blaming the afghan government for apparently not having seen this coming there were protests in kabul yesterday outside the ministry of defense and he was always vulnerable. it has been surrounded by taliban fighters in the villages the government is now on this the police inside me said he were aware that there were taliban fighters inside the
6:05 pm
city but it was some kind of an unseen agreement that we would just let it slide nothing happens everything's fine it's peaceful for now until the taliban launch this attack on friday morning if in two or three days from now we're still talking about this battle going on or and it's a big if i know if he is about to fall to the taliban the symbolism of that will be huge because so many of the external actors the external people who contribute to the fighting force of what goes on on the ground the people who fly the planes etc the symbolism of that will really strike home with them indeed and the timing would be terrible for the afghan government i mean the timing as it is with the elections coming up they do not need this kind of price that they are having trouble securing one of their a large city so close to kabul thanks very much. still to cover for you here in algeria including the divide over hong kong status talk beaching wanted by them raises new questions about freedom of speech. and consulting the people cubans have

do their highnesses acts because people are the conceal or ignore what they do this is totally unacceptable it's a betrayal of the victims of a trial of the community and it's a big trial about children of the future because if the lackluster laws of the present are going to be used again in the future then the results of the past are going to be the results of the future wilson intends to appeal his conviction but this case is being seen as a landmark decision with broad ramifications for the church it sends a message that the church is accountable and can hide behind canon all the confessional seal to escape reporting crimes like this yarber mohammed al jazeera sydney. a leader of a party advocating independence for. hong kong has accused china of suppressing freedom of speech rival protests greeted and churned as he arrived at the foreign correspondents club to give a speech of the chinese and hong kong government wanted the event to be cancelled last month the police put forward an unprecedented proposal to ban chan's party for

6:16 pm
changing and the constitution is part of that change it won't make the change go faster. the constitution is not a change it won't protect everything people want nor will it give everything that they expect. the process from here is a painstaking one officials are expected to take down the participants commons and send them back to the assembly line a cuban's will been vote on a final document in a referendum early next year julia galliano al-jazeera. severe flooding in the southern island indian state of terror has killed at least thirty nine people and property damage is already being put at more than a billion dollars although the water is receding the state is bracing for more rain injuring one of the worst monsoon seasons in a century thirty four thousand people have been moved from villages in low lying areas and living in relief camps. pakistan has started celebrating seventy one

6:50 pm
as it continues to slip against the dollar the lira has dropped forty five percent this year turkey's central bank is easing bank restrictions to try to stabilize the currency or blames that a cotton on a plot against turkey's economy simcoe seller joins us live now from istanbul so the efforts by the central bank seen him to reverse this decline are there signs that it's actually working. well rachelle yes since since the markets opened this morning at nine thirty we see a decline we see some ease of the pressure on the turkish lira it was one dollar was up to seven turkish to resit one went to both that but right now it's down to six point five zero so of course the government measures have some impact on this is it is a small is when you when you think that one dollar was equal to four point eight and now it has been up to seven the rise within the last ten days so despite that
6:51 pm
this is a small move it is working also that the turkish business associations you know chambres and co want it exchanges also gave support to the government but they have always warned that the government should be taking the necessary measures without it being late one of the measures that the government is not is not actually a fond of but which is an expectation by to turkey central bank is the is that is the increase in the interest rate so the markets are expecting an increase in the interest rates by the central bank to ease the pressure on the turkish lira however the government is totally against that but at least today is the markets are are not as panic as before but i have to underline that presence there don when he says that there is no crisis in the turkish of despite the three men the slide he says this is not a crisis like that happened in one thousand nine hundred ninety four when the
6:52 pm
rhetorical asian tigers collapsed or during the crisis in two thousand and one he warns that the turkish banking system is solid and very strong and there is no crisis in the banking sector that's why he finds this as an. as an attack as a speculative attack which is mainly targeting the turkish economy so sit him if you could expound upon that a little bit he has tried to talk the currency into stability basically saying it's not that big of a deal but he has said that what is happening is not normal so what are the politics of this for him. well from the person's perspective he says you cannot you can't explain the slide and the turkish lira from four point eight to seven within a week or in ten days he says we have faced the turkish lira losing value double times in two thousand and one crisis over
6:53 pm
a night but that time our banking system was bankrupt t. says but this current s'sluys in the turkish lira happened right after a tension between the u.s. president donald trump and the turkish government following the rest of journalist american pastor in turkey and pastor and dr branson he was arrested after the failed coup in two thousand and sixteen based on knowledge of terrorism charges along with some other american nationals who worked in the u.s. consulate in istanbul and the u.s. has been has been asking for do release of these. of these suspects but turkey says the judiciary is ongoing and so judiciary is underway and we have to wait for the results of tests of russian was put under house arrest just a week ago but to us the men's immediate release of pastor bronson that's that was followed by president trump so it's that our relations with turkey is not good
6:54 pm
these days so and then this tremendous slide in the turkish lira happened that's why president zardari believes that. the stance from the u.s. the u.s. government is the reason against the slide in the turkish era plus the he says that the u.s. government has been threatening turkish economy with sanctions over turkey has some support from the european countries. as the biggest. load loan lender to turkey as well as russia iran and some other neighboring countries or it's seen and thank you very much live in istanbul. the weakness of the turkish currency is starting to affect other emerging market economies binion rupee hit a record low on tuesday morning india's currency is falling around nine percent this year amid higher oil prices and widening trade deficits andrew thomas has more from a in northeastern india.
6:55 pm
we will have that story for you and let's continue this discussion about the effect of the declining there at the south african markets have been really taking a hit from this let's bring in alec concept she is a financial analyst and c.e.o. of rich management a financial and political advisory firm he joins us via skype from i really appreciate your time so much so why specifically is what's happening in turkey specifically affecting a merchant markets in a way in the way that it is. so that you know the proximate cause to this emerging market weakness and cute contagion has been. but you know we've got to take a step back what we're seeing is the reduction of dollars being supplied into the system the end of the quantity of easing when the markets the global markets will slump that cheap them three dollars everybody got terribly excited particularly
6:56 pm
across emerging in front of markets and we've seen a with lash up with china and the dollar has been weaponized whether it's deliberate or by design it's not clear to me but it's become a very very. financial instrument coerce a financial instrument in the hands of president trauma and essentially the repricing has spilled over into other markets as you said the rabbit fell more than ten percent yesterday that's an extraordinary popping drawl unprecedented in the last decade and essentially we're seeing this sort of. spillover contagion effect yet the india route be it the south african rand and other markets and unfortunately i think this is an extreme example of a policy maker. that he has no options left each time he speaks ascension the
6:57 pm
markets unless he puts up interest sharing what they're doing the only do you think he's making it worse. he's making it much worse i mean it's just extraordinary this is part of the problem when people drink the kool aid they try and believe that they can somehow you know keep in new style fight the markets are confident the markets this is actress and. many people have said it and it's essential it's a losing battle he's going to have to see he's going to have to raise interest rates by now to be five hundred basis points if we go he's going to have to raise it by seven hundred fifty to bring the situation on the console i'm afraid how much worse can it get could this become venezuela how much worse could it get look i mean we're looking at a precipice right now i mean i know we've had to score forty something percent which is just extraordinary but if he refuses to raise that interest rates the only thing that can give is the turkish lira and people are allowed beginning to price
6:58 pm
in the weimar republic wheelbarrow type scenario where the currency ultimately collapses inflate it takes all and will be wondering about the wheel barrows of lira trying to read. and i'm interested in something they said if i could go back he said that the dollar is being weaponized that's a really powerful word and you were clear to say that you didn't necessarily know what the intentions were but now that it's very possible that a lot of this is related to the way the dollar has been. treated is it incumbent upon the u.s. to try to reverse some of this. i don't think that is it that isn't aligned with the president trumps financial warfare strategies which are proven so often i think you know the whole thing about magda is bringing everyone down to science and the dollar is basically kneecapping countries and ed gun is the first father to lose
6:59 pm
his kneecaps there to be others if they if they pursue the policy that again is seeking to pursue so let me be clear the trunk is wielding something much more powerful than a new weapon he's using the supply of dollars into the financial market everybody has gotten the stuff all over borrowed they've been living high on cheap dollars that this is the end of cheap dollars and it is the law that they take to address the situation the worse the situation because i suppose the one to big thing is in our favor it's the whole concept of populism very popular leaders stuck themselves on the pedestal now that was an effect disparity simple everyone can point out whether it's president whether it's rouhani comment day or whether it's my tour but they are all. under
7:00 pm
a remote controlled drone attack just like madeira was except that drone is the us dollar ok we will leave it out at that alekhine such a thank you very much for joining us we appreciate it. computer. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov and his turkish counterpart who are meeting in ankara to discuss the situation in syria for more let's go now to say a holder who is live in beirut so what it what have they been saying to the media. well both russia and turkey are stakeholders in the syrian conflict they support opposing sides but they have been cooperating for some time now through the so-called asked in a process but it is clear that these two countries disagree over what to do in it live it was clear from the statements made by both the turkish and the russian foreign ministers the turkish foreign minister saying that we will discuss how we can work together in live now it live as.
