a letter of apology to all catholics. no more cover ups of sex abuse in the church . the trade war between the u.s. and turkey is escalating turkey has filed a complaint with a world trade organization over u.s. tariffs on steel in alimony and ports donald trump ordered a doubling of tabs earlier this month the turkey refused to release an american pastor who's been detained for nearly two years the turkish government retaliated with tariffs on some u.s. imports if. there's no difference between the direct attacks on our call to prayer in our flag and the attack on our economy the goal is the same the goal is to bring to heel turkey and the turkish nation to hold a captive we are nation that prefers to be shot in the nick rather than to be chained at the name. meanwhile to people having detail. the bullets were fired

towards the u.s. embassy in the turkish capital ankara six shots were fired from a moving car early on monday morning hitting the gate and a security post was injured in the attack so on your guy you go has the latest from istanbul this incident has taken place at a time when there is unprecedented tension between ankara and washington d.c. not forgetting of course the ongoing dispute that there is over the arrest of the american pastor andrew bronson who remains under house arrest. nearly two years after he was initially arrested he maintains that he has had links to terrorist organizations and is also accused of spying but the american government and donald trump have taken on his case very vocally and using it to strong arm using coercive economic measures such as sanctions and also

tariffs raise tariffs but it is the holiday season in turkey and this is not the first time that such an incident has occurred at the u.s. embassy in ankara and also the consulate in istanbul what is important to note that this dispute is going to remain after the holiday period is over and there has been pressure on both sides to resolve this dispute diplomatically. is a professor of political science at the university of canada she says it was right for turkey to take the dispute to the w.t. . the united states is claiming that there is some sort of national security imperative and putting on these tariffs and if so why been to many countries as you said including canada which really finds its search so that's probably the right you know right move to take but of course that's going to be very painful for turkey and i would also point out this hits turkey specifically an arrow won and his political base because they're very much dependent on economic growth in the

building sector in the construction sector so this is of course a very important input going having steel in construction is very important so it's going to hurt definitely many of those very close to her one time so we can't really blame the united states for all of economic troubles of turkey because certainly it's been an high debt situation increasingly amounting allowing interest rates to rise enough to sort of combat some of these dilemmas a lot of dollar denominated that i mean it's very much i think a home grown problem some of which is early ones are making but certainly the announcement tariffs on turkey and just the overall sort of you know instability brought into the currency market is definitely not to rattle a lot of people and this is going to cause turkey more headache and grief economically for sure let's move on to other news now and police in the russian republic of chechnya have shot and killed five young men who targeted them the

attackers tried to run over two police officers attempted to stab another officer and failed to set off a suicide bomb i saw has claimed responsibility for the assault but chechen authorities insist that the group doesn't have any support in the region. look it up with that criminals tried to destabilize the situation but they failed thanks to the accurate and orchestrated efforts of law enforcement and security agencies their plan was foretold the situation in the territory of our republic is under control there are no reasons to worry there have been no losses among police personnel. for a challenge is following developments from moscow. well there are two notable things about this series of attacks the first is that it took place at all despite its warsaw in history these days attacks like this are a pretty rare event in chechnya the second is notable thing is the youth of these attackers or thora these in chechnya say the youngest was eleven years old and the

oldest of them was almost seventeen teenagers kids basically now the attacks three of them happens over the course of a short span of time one of them was an attempted stabbing on police officers the second was an attempted suicide bombing which failed the attacker didn't kill himself nor anyone else and the third was a kind of hit and run in a car no police officers died in these attacks no civilians died in these attacks in the aftermath all but one of the attackers was killed by the security services so you could say that this was not particularly sophisticated in its execution and not particularly successful either the leader of chechnya rams i'm good dear of has said that they were. basically young people that have their minds perverted by

eisel and indeed in the arthur march of this attack all these this series of attacks i still through it's media channels has claims responsibility venezuelan president nicolas mother's new montrevel forms allow in place in a bid to control the country's spiraling economy but many venezuelans are confused by the measures and several of the country's opposition parties have already called for protests more than two million venezuelans have fled to neighboring countries in the past three years as those countries have started cracking down on them as where the migrants trying to cross the border. is assuming it's a trick to make over the go. from is doing to the national economy it's a terrible deception removing five zeros doesn't improve the economy at all but it will improve this that. people are going to be confused to those new posters explain how to convert the old currency to the new one people have to take money out of their accounts and divide everything by ten thousand so this they tell you look at this it costs five all of ours the people are going to have to take out

a county later how many are five ball of ours are they five hundred thousand or five million the government has to better explain to the public a lesson america at a solicitor newman has the latest from caracas venezuela as awoke to a new reality but it was declared a public holiday so all the shops were closed the banks were closed and most a.t.m. machines were not issuing the new currency which we were lucky enough to find a little bit of this is ten new believe it is the new sovereign believe it is this used to be the equivalent of one million of the old body about is said to the maximum amount that anybody can take out of the cash machine right now but with this you still cannot buy more than a cup of coffee salaries have been raised or will be raised as of the first of september by three thousand percent the currency has been devalued by nearly one hundred percent people are absolutely having you know they just cannot get their minds around this things that were worth millions now being worth less than the

single digits or double digits and yet even before. the shops open again prices are already starting to go up in the small markets that was selling things people are already hearing about the black market which is no longer a black market dollar having gone up by one hundred and forty percent in just the last forty eight hours and so there is a lot of uncertainty here as some opposition parties called for a national strike and protests are tuesday. at least eleven people have been killed and anti drug raids by the police and military in rio de janeiro are over four hundred soldiers launched raids in two of the city's most impoverished neighborhoods they removed roadblocks and detain suspected drug traffickers brazil's military has been in charge of security in rio since february after police failed to curb violence emergency workers in the southern indian state of carola have been handing out medicines and disinfectants in

are not allowed to. jordan has been here for nearly three months despite a judge's order that all children separated from their parents at the border be reunited with their families earlier this summer the government says the delayed reunifications are due to the difficulty of tracking down more than four hundred parents who like ever had been deported without their children in washington a democratic member of congress called the operation a colossal mistake i know. systematically bree improves in time from very. soon to me. the government says it has no parental information about least five children in its care effectively rendering them orphans eva's worst fear is to never see her son again you have been someone to say more or i regret all of this because of the pain
