donald trump labor secretary alexander acosta resigns over his handling of the jeffrey abstains sex scandal. and hope on the horizon in the battle against aids off to a pharmaceutical giant announces an experimental h.i.v. vaccine. turkey says its defense minister has spoken to his u.s. counterpart on the telephone to discuss his nation's controversial purchase of the russian s 400 missile defense system lucy a call reportedly told. that the deal does not made turkey is changing its strategic orientation it came just hours after the 1st consignment of the s $400.00 system arrived at the base near the capital ankara but several more delivery scheduled over the next few days a car also reportedly discussed america's offer to supply its own patriot missile

system which does the same job as the s $400.00 the us earlier warned it's ready to impose sanctions so as a threat to stop supplying turkey with its f.s.a. 5 fighter jets well the s 400 will give turkey a significant advantage over its neighbors in terms of the system's missiles can track and destroy incoming targets up to 400 kilometers away. hey the u.s. is concerned that turkey's s 100 purchase will compromise the security of its f. 35 jets the stealth fighter is the backbone of the u.s. and nato has future air power is already bought for and wants another 116 but the u.s. believes russia might use the f. 400 system to collect sensitive data about the f. 35. has our report now from istanbul. this russian plane cargo that's got turkey's allies who are it. this 400 surface a year missile system is expected to give the turkish military a clear advantage in the region it can detect and destroy incoming missiles up to

400 kilometers away back to u.s. and nato say it is not compatible with their weapon system and insist it could pose a risk to their new stealth fighter jet the f. 35. we don't know exactly the extent. the russians would allow this means size to be used in what kind of targeting the possibilities of course the turkish sides argue that turkey would be totally free to use it but the more much depends on the called the. friend in full i didn't cations nato says it is concerned about the potential consequences of this missile purchase while washington has vowed to impose sanctions if that 400 ever become operational. for turkey this is a done deal despite a possible setback for its defense industries that would earn up to $12000000000.00

from their $35.00 program. surgeon refuses to use the s 400 as a temporary solution to turkey's immediate need for air defense but we have many partnerships of the us in f. 35 and other defense industries that are vital for us because the engines of the helicopters fighter jets we produce are u.s. made no one would desire any ban on these imports. the list of possible u.s. sanctions range in several and include cutting turkey off from american and international loans preventing its transactions on foreign exchanges and targeting turkish banks businesses and executives took a series of tools the russian system because that's for hundreds were more sophisticated and cheaper among other reasons the system is expected to be operational by october during last month's g 20 summit in japan u.s. present donald trump said it was the obama administration that refused to deliver american patriot missiles to turkey and that was unfair presence our don says trump

has now promised not to impose sanctions on tricky but it is unclear whether trump will be able to persuade congress to do the same scene and go solo al-jazeera stumble and alan fischer brings us more now on the reaction from washington. donald trump said at the g 20 in or soccer that he didn't think the u.s. would impose sanctions on turkey if they went ahead with the part just the understood why present the one was looking at the russian system he blamed president obama for not doing enough to help out a need to ally but the reality is he can't stop the sanctions it's no american law that if turkey went ahead with this part just that we actually switch on the machine then sanctions start and there's a list of 12 sanctions that can be imposed all financial donald trump picks 5 from the list no you might be able to perspire in imposing the sanctions for 180 days but after that period they come in and there are a number of congressional leaders who say look if turkey goes ahead with this we

will punish them through sanctions so where are we no illusions of both sides have taken this to the absolute brink but at least they are no talking the u.s. about selling a new system to the turks which is the petri system which the turks of wanted for a long time and the turks are talking about not switching on the russian system which you have just bought for hundreds of millions of dollars. west african leaders in ivory coast have agreed to roll out a single shared currency called the. 8 former french colonies will have to give up their use of a currency known as the c.f.a. franc it was created by france in 1945 and is used by 14 african nations in 2 zones one in west africa including senegal ivory coast and jack. and 6 others

in central africa including on and chat accounts he is back to the euro and has a financial backing of the french treasury in return france holds 50 percent of the fine exchange reserves of a country is supposed to say provides economic stability but critics say it's as a relic of french colonialism that restricts growth i meant address has more now from abidjan ivory coast's economic capital. it's definite now leaders of west african nations using the c.f.a. front the 8 countries in the region under the west african wanted to union have decided to go ahead with the rollout of the proposed west africa single currency the aecl this said there are they have decided to go ahead with a process and any other country but wants to join or who are not decided to join can join later so in the next few months we will see the roll out of this currency in west africa that is going to be. legal tender in this region our question was to

president ouattara the president of ivory coast and was president of this conference and he went on whether or not the new currency would be a park or the existing currency to which he answered. the exchange rate between the existing front see if the euro will remain the same with the echo comes on board today the exchange rate is $65.00 to the euro before the heads of state decide to join next year the rates will not be affected immediately we hope when echo is launched others will join us they're welcome it will be nice to have 12 of the 15 now basically people in the region will be looking up to a bigger economy is like nigeria ghana and others as to whether or not they will quickly join this process now will be the deciding factor will be how quickly these countries will join the process of utilizing what other joining the call currency which will facilitate trade according to the leaders of the other meeting here today now. what economists are wondering is what how this will impact the economies

for giving a very lenient deal to an accused child sex offender jeffrey epstein in 2008 when a customer was a u.s. attorney both he and the president tried to downplay the case cabinet. are temporary right. it would be selfish for me to stay in this day and then you're talking about a case that alters all rather than about a week on me right now you made a deal that people will be with them and 12 years later they're not happy with it go up to figure all of that out of the bag. did a fantastic secretary of labor a cost is just the latest to go this president has had more turnover than any other president in modern history looking at his original cabinet he's replaced the secretaries of defense health and human services homeland security interior the attorney general of the justice department the secretary of state the veterans affairs the environmental protection agency the u.s.
