lola this is al-jazeera. and welcome to the news hour live from our headquarters in doha. i'm coming up in the next sixty minutes turkey takes its case against u.s. targets to the world trade organization as president everyone calls the measures an attack on his country. police in chechnya killed five people who targeted them in a series of attacks. confusion in venezuela after the government introduces a new currency in an effort to stabilize the economy and pope francis what letter of apology to all catholics value will be 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 the world trade organization the u.s. tariffs on steel and alimony and ports. a doubling of earlier this month after 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 in the turkish nation to hold a captive we're a nation that prefers to be shot in the nick rather than to be chained at the nick meanwhile two people have been detained after bullets were fired at the u.s. embassy in the turkish capital ankara six were fired from early monday morning in

the gator and security post but no one was injured in the attack so 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. is mere nearly two years after he was initially arrested turkey 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 to also 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 beslow mani is a professor of political science at the university of washington in canada and she says it was right for turkey to take the dispute to the doctor to your. 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 way 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 appear to want 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 but good having steel in construction is very important so it's going to hurt definitely many of those very close to her won him so we can't really blame the united states for all of economic troubles of turkey because certainly it's been in high debt situation increasingly of manning 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 announcements of 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 it's live on to other news now in place in the russian republic of chechnya have shot and killed five young men the target of them the attackers try to run one of the two police officers attempted to stab another

officer and failed to set off a civil side bomb i saw has claimed responsibility for the assaults but chechen authorities say the group doesn't have any support in the region we took 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. oh 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 warts on 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 thirty's 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 fails 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 had had their minds perverted by ice and indeed in the arthur march of this attack or these this series of attacks i

still through its media channels has claims responsibility to venezuela our presidential nicholas motherhood has new monetary reforms are now in place in a bid to control the country's spiraling economy but many venezuelans are confused by the measures as 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 those countries have started cracking down on them as well in my bones trying to. it's a trick to make over the government is doing to the national economy it's a terrible deception removing five zero doesn't improve the economy at all but it will improve the theft people are going to be confused there's no posters explaining 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 that they tell you look at this it cost five the people are going to have to take out a calculator how many are five ball of ours are they five hundred thousand or five

million the government has to better explain to the public eye latin america. that has the. confusion concern and especially uncertainty of the only way to describe how most winners wayland's are receiving their new currency these are ten new until friday they were worth a million of the old body that is there the maximum amount that you can take out of a cash machine at one time but they are not worth more they just have five less heroes than the old bills faced with the world's highest hyperinflation the government has not just shaved and zeroes off the bills but is raising corporate and sales taxes and increasing the minimum wage several thousand percent venezuelans largest private business association says that this is not the way to save the economy. although it's necessary to raise salaries raising the minimum wage by thirty five hundred percent makes it impossible for businesses to meet

these new increases in the county that is underwater because of a severe depression if hyperinflation is not controlled the impact of this increase will be totally counterproductive. president nicolas maduro says he'll subsidize small and medium sized companies for ninety days here in caracas almost everything was closed on the first day of the new currency the government had declared monday a public holiday. letting is open complained this man not even the many supermarkets were waiting to see what happened and. indeed people are confused and with very good reason they don't know how to calculate what they're spending especially since the new salaries don't go into effect until next month in the meantime at least part of the opposition is calling for a general strike on tuesday to protest against the reforms which many economists say do not address the real issues the real causes of the crisis that is sending millions of venezuelans fleeing to other countries what francis has apologized for

child sex abuse committed by clerics ahead of us trip to ireland in an open letter he wrote the. in the past no effort to beg pardon and to seek to repair the harm done will ever be sufficient looking ahead to the future no effort must be spared to create a culture able to prevent such situations from happening but also to prevent the possibility of there being covered up and perpetuated when the pope's message comes just ahead of the online release of a list of child sex abuse and ireland's catholic church an international research group will post a list of priests and religious brothers and the allegations against them the church is still reeling from a scandal in the us state of pennsylvania where a report released last week found that three hundred priests had abused more than a thousand children of the seventeen years judy clapper lawson as a board member at snap of the survivors network of those abused by priests and she says the pope needs to take action instead of just apologizing i would like to see

the church open these secret archives that they have and give that information to law enforcement and the people officials who can do a better just a geisha of these things. having the bishops investigate themselves. smacks of conflict of interest i think the royal commission in australia is a good template for everybody i think that the. grand jury investigation that was done in pennsylvania should be done and also if the states and united states and other countries should follow the lead of australia. to india now where a report has revealed the widespread sexual mental and physical abuse of disadvantaged children and adults living in care homes in the state of bihar researchers from the tata institute of social sciences found fifteen state funded homes needed immediate

time to interact one to one with the residents in privacy of. we took them in confidence we didn't promise them that we are going to improve the tang do this or we'll do that we just inform them we just a short them if you have a story to tell just tell or write it down and we'll make sure that he through the government reports and that's when he struck the head up at the bottom and my recommendation would be to make the social or that mandatory and this exercise should should be carried out in every state because i'm sure things are going to come up later in other states also because situation and institutions are not. second the social order in this process the stakeholders you know the residents of the institution should take part in this article they should be certifying for the purpose of being rendered to them in these situations are acceptable or not whether their freedom their dignity are being restored or not their lives are being violated or not they should be the major focus point who who should actually do the process of social order along with other eligible members and that. we have plenty
