case in his fraud trial without calling any witnesses on a fault is accused of tax evasion and lying to taint bank loans but charges aren't related to his time with the trump campaign the case was brought by a special counsel robert mueller who's investigating possible collusion with russia during trump's presidential run. police in london are treating a car crash outside the british parliament as a terror incident three people were injured when a man drove through a group of cyclists and pedestrians before crashing into security barriers and security minister says the suspect is a twenty nine year old foreign born british citizen and he says searching the three properties in central england the monthly reports. the palace of westminster is a sleepy place in august as the politicians are on holiday here during rush hour this was the scene as heavily armed police swooped on a car which had apparently been driven deliberately into the crash barriers surrounding the parliament the force of the collision clearly seemed to have crumpled the whole front of the small it's only occupant showing no resistance as

officers calmly took him out and led him away the question is who is he and what was his motivation my friend it was deliberate it wasn't it was no over you know for sure if he if it was a direct hit this video taken from on high some distance away shows the car seeming to drive normally before swerving violently across the road and then veering again through the security barriers and coming to a stop to police officers had to jump clear to avoid being hit. as he crossed lanes on accelerated to point his car parliament the driver plowed through a group of cyclists at least one was injured though not seriously. by now the full security apparatus agree there were no weapons in the car but the incident was soon treated as terrorist related the driver's refusing to answer questions from the police and they didn't know anything about him

a priority now is to formally establish the identity of the suspect and establish his motivation if we can. he is not currently cooperating with the morning or on it became clear there was no further threats though the government's full counterterrorism unit met to discuss what they didn't know about the matter if the aim of this was to repeat last year's attack on westminster bridge that it was more or less a complete failure but if the point was to prove that it is still possible to hit an emblematic targets by the houses of parliament then clearly it succeeded space was of the same time not a major incident but something that the security services are taking very serious. of course are strong reasons for the security services to be last year westminster killed six people including a police officer and injured fifty what this was isn't yet clear but it is at least a reminder that no security can protect everything lawrence lee al-jazeera london

hello and welcome to the program. the turkish lira is facing an unprecedented crash it has lost more than forty percent of its value against the dollar in recent days and its meltdown is rattling global markets turkey central bank has stepped in with measures it hopes will reassure turks and financial markets and the finance ministry says it has an action plan in place turkish president regift everyone blames the crisis on what he calls economic terrorists but he's been criticized for his influence over the economy from istanbul cinema solo reports walking through a business street to people take nervous glances at the foreign exchange screens wondering how much less their money might now be worth. the dollar the prices of what she wants to buy overrun serb budget. give me a discount or leave. her request it's turned down turkish airways down at least

thirty percent against a dollar in ten days this doesn't only hurt the buyers but the sellers too. including tibet's cartel he has run the shop for at least twenty years how far his products are imported is cost horizon tremendously. stronger more notice and we are almost at stagnation waiting for exchange rates to settle my purchase in dollars so my costs increased forty percent i'll have to reflect this in my prices. however exporters are happy with the depreciating. our house owner who has run the silver wholesaler with his brothers for twenty years say's his profits have grown. to for the other although i import my products i explored them all we don't have a problem my profit margin is bigger now also we bring foreign exchange to our country but there certainty of worry seventy one the finance minister says it has

an action plan to help ease the markets concern and turkey central bank has pledged to provide all the liquidity needed by the banks many economists say the markets the men do you trust to stop the us trouble but present ads on this financial team are totally against that i don't say as this is a speculative attack against still there are by foreign countries and might continue. if it does experts fear it could have a spillover effect into europe where turkey's biggest lenders are see time to solo al-jazeera a stumble the financial crisis comes as ties between turkey and the u.s. worsen president erda want to action against american goods days after the u.s. doubled tariffs on turkish steel and aluminum. boycotts american and the china products. all over our photo was so they had the i phone three samsung elsewhere. there are now in country we have

a vested. german chancellor angela merkel has called on air to want to respect the central bank's independence movement of a dozen hits a host the german perspective is that no one has an interest in techie's economic destabilization but everything must be done to ensure that there is an independent central bank that can learn. all right let's bring in our panel joining us ancora locus articularly director of the un corowa office of the german marshall fund of the united states and berlin dietrich von couch former german ambassador and permanent representative to the e.u. and in london egg skin a senior political risk analyst at the firm i.h.s. market welcome to you all want to start with you today what can the government of turkey do to stop this slide well i mean they they should do first of

all we should maybe look into why this crisis is. even before the fall out with the united states i could cite six reasons first of a high cost deficits second the private sector adept third political risk at home for geopolitical risks abroad fought for markets on friendly economic policies and then six fix fiscal normalization in the united states some of these that there's nothing that turkey can do about such as if you school normalization in the united states but there's still a lot that turkey can do for market friendly economic policy is decreasing political risk at home decreasing private sector debt than decreasing the current to const dificid this would require political reforms as well as economic reforms dietrich have any of the efforts by turkey central bank thus far to try and reverse this decline been effective are there see any signs that any of them are working.

i think they might get go in the right direction but it would probably be in all likelihood not be enough because what we are facing is a lack of confidence by investors by international markets in turkey and that has to do with the attitude of the president of rwanda and there is a lack of confidence and they have for the central bank would have from my point of view have to increase interest rate and take really firm measures which might not be very popular with the general public and therefore. the president hesitates to accept that. the markets know this so they're select of confidence and as long as this will stay

on it will be very difficult for turkey to recuperate again you heard richard their talk about the fact that president air to want to has resisted thus far raising interest rates why exactly is that. well for a long time the general consensus in the markets was that when i heard one insisted on his theory that high interest rates result in high inflation rather than the other way around that was largely for the purpose of playing to the crowd sort of speak for for the for the domestic audience however we saw in a meeting recently when dawn came to london to talk to international investors. the president repeated those claims and it was at that point that the markets started understanding that these were things which are gone genuinely believed and that was really

a turning point in terms of perceptions of turkey and expectations of policy on there i do on. the president appears to have a deep seated fundamental opposition to interest and whether that's rooted in his religious beliefs or what it might be. the result is the same turkey has been avoiding. the levels of interest which would be dictated by rational economic policy and the result is. the stabilized the turkish lira and rampant inflation and to act now and to follow what the market is saying now means that they have to do even more than what they would have had to do before because it's at this point it's very late and the results are as we can see all right let's take a step back for a moment turkey is one of the fastest growing economies and the sixth largest in europe but it's facing major challenges the inflation rate has reached fifteen

percent this year the highest in fourteen years turkey's budget deficit rose by more than a half to thirteen billion dollars in two thousand and seventeen the value of turkey's imports is higher than exports leading to a negative trade balance of almost so. many seven billion dollars last year but on a positive note the economy grew by seven point four percent in the first three months of this year oscar let me ask you how much worse could this now get for turkey i mean could you envision a total financial collapse or meltdown in turkey. that is very unlikely because despite all the negative factors turkey's public sector is still strong turkey does have a high international debt but it's coming mainly from the private sector and the public finances are very sound and as a matter of fact among the soundest in europe as so i talked to the financial meltdown is very unlikely at this moment dietrich why specifically is what's

happening in turkey affecting emerging markets the way that it is well but because emerging markets in certain ways in similar situations as turkey is it's a precarious situation you are trying to stimulate economies and there's always the risk that you go beyond. the limits but in turkey this has taken place do you want to the editor or the president and therefore there is the risk that other three in order to be affected by the way. we are in europe very much into twined in particular germany with turkey. economy could leave and therefore there's also the risk that we buy suffer to

a certain extent by far not as much as turkey but to a certain extent we would we expect. at one to visit us in september eleventh serious discussions we are partners in nato with our partners if you have a customs you when you're in between the e.u. and turkey we have we have three million turks. popley but the turkish nation in the pot the with the property with both living in germany working here we have a vital interest in stable in a stable turkey and the trickle down relationships are to enter by the interest of starting interrupt is just that since you're bringing up the ties between turkey and germany that leads me to a follow up question for you because on monday german chancellor angela merkel said that they want to make sure that you know that the central bank in turkey has its independence she said nobody has an interest in economically stabilization in

turkey and everything must be done to ensure an independent yet central bank so my question for you is would germany be in a position to help now in some way. well i don't know we will give him. on the advice that our stability our arising out of the ashes of world war two was largely due or saw due to not only our efforts and support and free trade and so forth but also that we were run by in our monetary policy by an independent central bank and also the european central bank has the insisted on that is independent nor central bank that cannot act independently can pursue rational and reasonable monetary policies and if everyone doesn't understand this it may be almost hopeless to help turkey but if he

should decide to see the light we might be able of course to head them because we have a vital interest in a stable turkey for all kinds of strategic economic reasons but also because turkey due to the three million turks in germany is part of our domestic policy scene again what are president are the ones options right now. well there are several options i mean the first obvious right thing to do would be to do what our other guest was suggesting to provide the central bank with the independence that it needs to fulfill its mandate but if out on continues with his in insistence to not allow this then the other options are one one of them of course going to the i.m.f.

. there are many observers who are betting that this will end up being the case however of course there is a big issue with that and that is the fact that the government really invested a lot in its claim that it was under this government that turkey finally came out of these i.m.f. programs and subs it subjugation to policies and posed by international organizations for i don't want to go back to the i.m.f. would be a big embarrassment another option would be to seek support from alternative allies which are known as already hinted he might do russia china qatar but again it's dubious the extent of the help which these governments me be willing to offer. and obviously releasing the pastor would be yet another option very obvious solution to diffuse the economic strings and the problem there of

course is the fact that with the sanctions having been imposed on turkey by president trump no one no longer has. a way to. come to a solution with the u.s. was also of saving face and not appearing like turkey is capitulating to it to the u.s. as threats and certainly to release the past they're under bunsen right. you know without any major concessions from the u.s. side would appear to be doing exactly that so hence the difficulty of the situation . you heard a their talk about the detained american pastor andrew bronson my question is how much of this confrontation now is basically a fight between u.s. president donald trump and turkish president. air to one i believe that it

is the tip of the especially because particularly in the united states as a matter of fact sanctions towards turkey delayed to past and they're all going to be cooked in the congress so even if the president had not weighed in you would see sanctions coming from the u.s. congress forced turkey so as a matter of fact it's divisible part of a much deeper and bigger problem between the two and between turkey and the united states it includes turkey's purchase of as for on the us from russia it includes well i mean it it includes differences between the united states and turkey when it comes to syria and actually the whole of the middle east it includes public opinion towards the united states in turkey and public opinion towards turkey in the united states so i would not call it a problem between the president's idea trick is the u.s. turkey crisis beyond repair at this point or do you think that it can be mended whale two types. special tides if you want to put it to egomaniacs

getting at each other. squarely seeing what i think about the two and there that's always difficult in particular because they are both determined by. let's say don't mess with policy considerations in the united states for instance that they have a november elections and the bible belt the pot store the bible belt it is important they stop in the united states as support for president trump and his party so we'll have this split and i would say that to the parts store who is of the same. protestant titian christian connotation is the vice president of the united states plays a big role and we need to find

a face saving mechanism to get this passed out of the fire line i think that is important yes they are other considerations and so on so like the game. turkey plays by being own have in have alternate or have with the web sabas putin buying war materiel from the russians etc etc i think he is over stretching its limits and where he's vulnerable he has now been taught that there's no free lunch even though not for it took trish president on the other hand the american president doesn't care too much about what's going on in europe including turkey. he has in his or on the mystic agenda so we are in a very precarious situation and i as

a german european i therefore think that not what you germany but the european union the heads to play a certain role in order to get things calmed down but for that we need also some flexibility from both sides including ords or the president of turkey again it looked as though you were reacting to what the trick was saying there did you want to add to what he had remarked upon. well my reaction was one of agreements for the first time the turkish government finds itself with u.s. counterparts where which doesn't really care what their turkey remains in the nato are not appeased when we talk about trumpington of it's not really one of his primary considerations that go into his decision making. until now turkey always use that current based on the assumption that the u.s.

side would not. risk losing turkey to russia and breaking the nato ranks and i think that was the source of the turkish government's miscalculation in what happened in the past couple weeks. and the question now is based on what they have experienced whether the president mr i do want will go into a strategic reconsideration in how it deals with the us based on his realisation that the old tactics no longer work that's the optimistic scenario the pessimistic scenario is one in which we are seeing the beginnings of a permanent break between these decades a lot old allies well what do you think what are the strategic and geo political ramifications of all of this. first of all i would like to express that although a diplomatic solution is possible it is also very difficult at this point because

the president of the united states with this tweet sad statement says not only dig his heels into his current position but is also denied the president to go on and on the way out of this crisis so at the moment a unilateral. decision by president added on to release pastor bronson would make him appear weak domestically and also it initially and that is something that president added one would hate so the solution should be something in which pastor bronson is released in return for something that president add on japanese that to the turkish society as a success and the ramifications i actually did it concerning i don't think that either president trump or president add one has any intention to see turkey outside of nato though maybe needed would care deeply our i believe that this crisis could trigger a dynamic at the end of which turkey is nato membership would be questionable in

turkey as well as outside and even if it's not the intention of the turkish president actually events could drag turkey towards such as tradition i believe that a lot is that state. and we should start acting today dittrich analysts have been saying that this financial crisis in turkey has been a long time in coming has this been a long time coming of course it has but it has been now reinforced by american counter measure because of this the clergymen issue. which should not be underestimated i would like to repeat we germans as well as we europeans have no interest in letting. turkey go down the drain so to speak economically we want a stable turkey in good relations in terms with the e.u.

it was nice to. with or possibilities for turkey or to play a role in the middle east etc so we want to be partners and be able but they had one comes to visit us in berlin in september we will do our best to be of help whether that will be enough depends on the edge of to yes of the american president also but also of mr everyone i would like to remind you we were recently and the heavy threats from the american president on trade issues and the commission took a strong stand but also a flexible one and it came to a standstill and we are not on the goats you think it is not impossible to bring a similar situation about. between turkey and the united states but it

will require the head of friends and partners of turkey that we are still economically strongly linked with turkey and ought to domestically through the three million turks in germany we will try to do our best whether be the enough to do a sort of you'll have probably the help of the commission the e.u. commission and major partners like france in the e.u. and we will do our best this all because i hope it depends also on the flexibility on all parties called participating in this. all right we are out of time so we're going to leave there because. i want to be optimistic. dietrick the duration of the trick i'm sorry to interrupt what we have run out of time thank you very much we're going to have to leave it there so thanks very much to all our guests always go and look at dietrich vaughn cow and egg

carried a boat away at this time of year the road is busy with tourists and many italians who are preparing for a national holiday it's unclear why the bridge collapsed it was built in the one nine hundred sixty s. and what was being carried out to shore up its foundations at the time of the incident that also storm the moment though that should intervene for them now is the time for the rescue operation for work for sweat and prayer but tonight will be the time to find out who is responsible the names and names of those who are guilty of an acceptable debts. the author wrote is have pulled there are unlikely to be many casualties while the tally and minister has called to come out and events tragedy ever haywood al-jazeera. or miranda branch came down in an industrial area in the city of genoa and on a main highway that connects italy to france cause more than one thousand meters into a riverbed railway and buildings below. also been excessive franco has they just

forests from italy so it gives an indication of the the scale of the rescue operation is going on that moment. you know it's ongoing lauren and it will continue to go on until everybody who is feared to have been on that bridge in one of the vehicles or underneath has been accounted for so round the clock operations until everyone is accounted for they're saying they have already saved you know more than ten people survivors and taken them to the hospital the nearby hospitals and the if they have to work throughout the night they will continue to work throughout the night the italian prime minister just epic won't they has arrived on the scene the transport minister expected tomorrow as well as the interior minister but there are some venial who says that

someone must be brought to justice everybody who was responsible for this collapse must be brought to justice so those are the calls being made at the moment one interesting aspect now is that some of the homes in the end where the bridge actually collapsed on one side because it came very close to hitting some apartment buildings now they are evacuating some of those apartments for fear is that if anything else happens to the current bridge what's left of it. you know there won't be a problem to those have in addition there now are the authorities now saying that the bridge will be demolished by october. and it will be reconstructed there will be a different way for the try and support of those cars they'll have to go use different roads and this will be communicated obviously to the population so those

are the two latest suspects but mainly the work will continue and. well everybody is accounted for and these evacuations are under way as we speak and at this stage most people have been saying that it's too early to say why this happened but presumably a big investigation under way under way to into what could have caused such a terrible thing to happen and and i suppose concerned about the rest of the metro network and other potential areas of weakness yet this huge concern about the motorway network all over italy and there are calls for a nationwide check of all the bridges and generally the motorway network that most of it was constructed in the same years as this current bridge was constructed in the sixty's and there are calls for better maintenance and a better understanding of what exactly went wrong the idea that the weather

conditions may have caused this collapse is now starting to go away and it appears more to be a problem with the actual having you know what kind of maintenance has been taking place and what has been done to check whether these bridges could hold the number of cars and lorries and and and heavy trucks that were crossing the bridge every day in particular at the moment the with very heavy traffic because it was being used by not only trucks and lorries but tourists that are you know in in italy for the holiday season so much more needs to be done to check out what actually cools and i think there will be a fire investigation to figure out exactly what caused the collapse of the bridge so i mean a case of trying to thank you very much indeed. turkish president richard has

called for a boycott of united states senate tronic products in retaliation for what he says is an economic attack on his country and on supporters were filmed converting their dollars into lira as the president has asked citizens to do and the currency has recovered some ground after crashing to an all time low against the dollar on monday with u.s. sanctions partly to blame him cause who has more from istanbul. turkish government has taken some measures in order to stop the developer ation of the turkish karen still iraq the central bank increase the liquidity for the banking sector yesterday on the other hand today the industrial ministry announced that they act awaited one point two billion dollars for the turkish industrialists production along with some other measures taken by the finance ministry however the business world in turkey warns that immediate actions should be taken without getting late without being late and one of the steps that is the demanded by the markets and international

markets is the high it is the increase of the interest rates by the turkish central bank however according to the school of thought that the present hour don and his economic team represents this is impossible for turkey because they see it as a pressure by the international markets by foreign powers and turkey and they wouldn't bowed down however the latest decline in the turkish euro had some impacts on the european countries as well along with some other markets the turkish private sector has a depth of at these two hundred twenty one billion dollars and most of those debts are law and are actually to the european countries like health of it belongs to the european countries so a slight in the turkish economy and instead will it into turkish economic could also harm the european countries as well that's why european politicians including until america have shown some support to turkey along with the russian president and iranian president and the prime minister of iraq however turkish president don still sees it as an economic wage against the turkish. against turkish economy and

he says a firm political stance is needed in order to deal with it. well the plunge in the rear is being felt in markets around the world argentina's central bank has raised interest rates by five percent as the peso hit a record low south africa's rand fell to a two year low against the dollar the lowest level since june twenty sixth in and the indian rupee hit a record low on monday falling below seventy rupees against the us dollar for the first time ever andrew thomas says more from guwahati in northeastern india. india's rupee suffered its worst one day ever on monday when it fell more than one point five the same in a day about sixty nine point nine rupees to the u.s. dollar on tuesday britain recovered slightly before pulling back again beyond its seventy three pages to the dollar that's the lowest level it's ever been the recent moves dramatic just continue a downward trend that's been going on here since january the first. ten percent

because the u.s. dollar meaning these one thousand rupees worth about sixty u.s. dollars at the beginning of the year are worth about forty u.s. dollars today of all the rupee of course helps exports things like textiles mighty service but it puts the price of the years in for a singularly boil and black of course leads to inflationary pressure and why do you try to. want to see i'm joined by john harrison he's the managing director of emerging markets macro strategy at ts numbered and investment research consultancy group thanks very much for coming in so this can what looks like a contagion to some of these other emerging markets why are they vulnerable. to the what's happening turkey i mean the backdrop for emerging markets have already been more challenging because of the stronger dollar and the u.s. hiking interest rates and then the situation in turkey just exacerbate so it's a risk so it becomes a you know more broad based risk of the mean that people have been investing in

economies like south africa because the interest rates there have been more favorable than in the lower interest rates over here is that what was the behind it originally or. i mean interest rates is one aspect but also you know strong growth equity investors interest rates for fixed income investors so yes in emerging markets tend to prefer it when times are good they tend to perform better and develop markets but when things turn more challenging us as they are at the moment because of global liquidity conditions then then it becomes more difficult and those markets suffer so tell me about the threats. from day one to to boycott u.s. electronics where do you see this for to into what's looking like a kind of global trade war and then with various terrorist being levied at various points from different countries yes it won't be impressive one has characterized the situation as a economic war in terms of the global trade war really turkey's is very much a sideshow the big thing to worry about is the trade tensions between the u.s.

and china that's not to say that turkey.
