trade war between the u.s. and turkey is escalating turkey has now filed a complaint with the world trade organization over u.s. tariffs on steel and aluminum imports well donald trump all that a doubling of tire of surly 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 are nation that prefers to be shot in the name rather than to be chained at the knee. but best amani is a professor of political science at the university of waterloo in canada she says it was right for turkey to take its dispute to the. the united states is claiming

that there is some sort of national security imperative and putting on these tariffs and it's supply having too 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 an air 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 and construction is very important so it's going to hurt definitely many of those very close to her one himself 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 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 homegrown problem some of which it wants of making by certainly the announcements

of tariffs on turkey and just the overall sort of you know instability brought into the currency market is definitely enough to rattle a lot of people and this is going to cause turkey more headache and grief economically for sure more than a million people are now living in temporary camps and kara floodwaters have started receding allowing rescue workers to deliver aid to communities that have been cut off but they're also discovering more bodies the floods have killed around four hundred people and cause billions of dollars in damage well now health officials are trying to prevent the outbreak of disease and to thomas has more from a column in caroline. carolus chief minister says there are now more than a million people living in temporary relief shelters across the state he's also given an update on the weather situation carola has had two and a half times the normal rainfall in august so far now the water's all receding the weather has improved in the last twenty four forty eight hours it's been more

sunny been rainy that's the good news but of course that brings its own problems as the water level drops the problems of disease is increased things a lot more skitter use can breed in pools and then of course with this much water around much of it dirty because it's been sewage people are having to defra kate in the open because they're not put toilets in the facilities where they are that brings the risk of things like the favor in the case of mosquitoes or cholera is also another problem to add to the mix snakes but been more than fifty people admitted to hospital with relatively minor snake bites from viper's if such a thing can be minor but that is just another problem to add to those of the state el salvador has severed diplomatic ties with taiwan and announced it will establish relations with china instead the deputy minister of foreign affairs carlos castaneda china's foreign minister one he sealed the deal by signing a document during a ceremony in beijing el salvador is the latest diplomatic ally taiwan has lost

this year the development means only seventeen countries currently have diplomatic relations with taiwan brown joins us live now from beijing adrian how significant is the timing of this announcement by a little. well thoroughly significant because president zion when of taiwan has just arrived back in the country following visits to paraguay and billy's and she stopped over in los angeles on the way back and became the first time when he's needed to speak in the united states in ten years that upset the chinese are no low and behold just a day or so later we learn that el salvador has decided to sever diplomatic relations with taiwan this is another symbolic victory for china as it seeks to isolate the island republic which of course china regards as part of its territory and gradually one by one the aim of china is to pick off those seventeen countries

that are left that still have diplomatic ties with taiwan this is the third country this year that has now severed relations with taiwan if fact since zine when became president in january two thousand and sixteen five countries have severed diplomatic relations so this is a blow for the taiwanese they were insisting on on choose day at the foreign ministry that they knew that el salvador was planning to do this in fact the taiwanese foreign minister took a swipe at china saying that china was engaging in what he called trying to lure away china's allies with promises of vast financial aid he said this was not again that taiwan was prepared to play well of course taiwan can't afford to play that game because it simply doesn't have the money what this boils down to daryn is there's been a bidding war between you know taiwan and china over who could get el salvador could could taiwan convince el salvador to stay probably it just simply didn't

offer enough money so it was a simple bidding war and china inc one agent thank you. venezuelan president nicolas maduro his new monitor reforms are now 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 fled to neighboring countries in the past three years those countries have started cracking down on the venezuelan migrants seeking to cross the border. it's a trick to make over the government is doing to the national economy it's a terrible deception removing five zeroes doesn't improve the economy at all but it will improve the. 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 they tell you look at this it costs five all of ours 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 latin america and its alysia newman has the latest. confusion concern and especially uncertainty of the only way to describe how most when israelis 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 shaven zeroes off the bills but is raising corporate and sales taxes and increasing the minimum wage several thousand percent venezuela's 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 an economy that is underwater because of a severe depression if hyperinflation is not controlled the impact of this increase will be totally counterproductive. president 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 one day a public holiday. thing is open complained this man not even the many supermarkets were waiting to see what happened. 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 feeling to other countries police in the russian republic

of chechnya have shot and killed five men who targeted them the attackers tried to run over two police officers attempted to stab another and failed to set off a suicide bomb i suppose came sponsibility for the assaults but chechen authorities say the group doesn't have any support in the region to keep up with the 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. 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 and history these days attacks like this are a pretty rare event in chechnya the second was 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 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 her said that they were. basically young people that had had their minds perverted by

eisel and indeed in the aftermath of this attack or these this series of attacks i still through its media channels has claimed responsibility. time for a short break here on al-jazeera when we come back where's all the money gone south africa opens an inquiry into missing state funds corruption and a former president more on that stay with us. from the waves of the soon. to the contours of the east. hello and welcome back to international weather forecasts where across lavonne we are watching the trend for more dust coming into the forecast in many cities here so with the northwesterly winds acyclic your forecast map as we go towards tuesday because quite city going to be seeing forty seven degrees temps is going to hover

a complaint with the world trade organization over u.s. tariffs on steel and aluminum imports donald trump ordered a doubling of tariffs earlier this month to turkey refused to release an american pastor who has been detained for nearly two years. el salvador has severed diplomatic ties with taiwan and announced it will establish relations with china instead it is the third diplomatic ally but taipei is lost this year means only seventeen countries currently have diplomatic relations with taiwan. and venezuelan president nicolas maduro has new monitor reforms are now in place in a bid to control the country's economic crisis opposition parties have already called for protests they bring countries have also started cracking down on venezuelans trying to cross the border to escape the crisis. that muslims around the world are celebrating also known as the festival of sacrifice the holiday marks the end of the pilgrimage the holy site of mecca these are live pictures from the holy city when millions of polygamous have gathered over the last week well throughout the muslim world families marked the holiday by coming together to pray

eat and exchange gifts for sunday gago joins us live now from istanbul so you've been speaking to syrians there in istanbul how of they've been celebrating. even though it is of course a celebration here there is. more than just a little bit of a mood of of heavy heartedness here of course many people who primarily many of the syrian community that had gathered in the fatty district just by the fancy mosque behind me here it's an area that has been dubbed little syria they do see it as a reason to. celebrate for them it's dinged with a sadness because invariably it's a reminder a painful remind if you will of the trauma that they have lived through the traumas that they are living through a reminder of relatives who are not with them

a reminder of the relatives who are missing as well and of course those who have been lost in the conflict so. these holidays often serve as a painful reminder that the holidays i would have celebrated in syria before the conflict. would have been spammy celebrations where all the relatives would have been gathered together to celebrate these holidays and of course here living lives away from their homes it's a bittersweet memory so for many here really quite a side as well as a joyful event are and so what sort of challenges then do they face as they try to make a life for themselves there into. well it is so they are facing nominally bureaucratic issues as well of course turkey did have an open door policy toward syrian refugees up until the beginning

of twenty sixteen then there were. restrictions that were put in by those who were entering the country by the by sea or by air as well they have there are those who need to get residency permits in the cities which they arrive at as well if they leave the city for example if some of them choose to go back to syria for example to see relatives then they have residency permit revoked and they will have to apply for it in another. part of turkey not a city in turkey but so that there are all those bureaucratic issues but normally people do ry fair they come here under the auspices of of u.n. . refugee protection documentation as well and while many of them do decide to make a life here about three quarters of the syrians who do a wry fare they try to make they want to apply to become residents in turkey there

are those who do want to return they don't want to stay here in this country and now there is a policy by the turkish government for those who do want to arrive who do want to return that they will try and help them to get back but of course it is a life which is in between. they do make their lives here but also it is difficult because if people feel their lives really do belong back in syria then they are sort of caught between a no man's land all right so how do you go there in istanbul setting up thank you. afghan forces of freedom hundred forty nine hostages taken by the taliban in the north many are said to be women and children security forces launched an operation to free the hostages after fighters ambushed three buses and province officials say twenty one people are still being held the taliban rejected a ceasefire offer from president gandhi on sunday. but afghanistan's experiencing a drought so severe that two million people may run out of food in the next six
