8:05 am
a little bit to the italian drama but in the end he has no choice but to say yes ok so just i think conti has a lot of support but but he has the kind of tech or tragic background that contradicts the campaigning message of the populist parties that have chosen to lead the country why have they chosen just epic antti and i know no law professor from florence with no political experience is the perfect compromise between the two extremes the leak and the five star movement he has the talks now to push through this wishlist if you will this coalition treaty which contains everything that was in the contain platforms if you can do that that is not clear but he will be. a kind of a puppet on a string for bows. and he was the party leaders might be in this coming eight ok ban to help us out on this i could you usually after

8:11 am
has the intent to become to achieve a nuclear weapon we also want them to stop the terrorism and the violence across the middle east we want them to stop violating the human rights of their own people and these are all reasonable demands so i think that we've become desensitized to a lot of what iran has been doing over these last many decades we've gotten used to it in some ways and we need to change that paradigm we really need to get iran to join a more civilized sort of community of nations than it has been we've seen over these last many years. fellows brian hoke senior policy adviser to the u.s. secretary of state mike compare speaking to diffuse alexander phenomena. now for some of the other stories making the news today and australian court has found a catholic archbishop guilty of covering up child sexual abuse in the one nine hundred seventy s. philip wilson is one of the most senior catholics in the world to be convicted of

8:13 am
gary hart here now elections in turkey are approaching fast while a look at how the economic situation there will be influencing the outcome of a little over a month brian you for the next elections turkey's president said out on is trying to draw the image of the of a country with a strong economy on the first glance he's right the country's g.d.p. grew by more than seven percent last year however growth is not the only number that accounts for a strong economy other figures count as well and some paint an entirely different picture. many young people in turkey can't find a job a sure sign that the boom years are over one in five in that age group is now jobless and the country's economy has taken several hits in recent years one main reason more and more foreign capital is leaving turkey an emerging economy especially dependent on outside investment. those factors have sent the country's currency the lira tumbling by twelve percent since mid april alone it's lost
8:14 am
seventeen percent since the start of the year. to stop the trend and to attract foreign money again the central bank would have to raise interest rates even further it lifted one key rate to thirteen and a half percent in april. president richard bedouin recently called interest rates the mother of all evil and pledged to force the central bank into lowering them seen by many as an election bribe to indebted citizens and companies. plan to influence this ostensibly independent institution is only likely to further deter foreign investors the meeting new jobs could remain a pipe dream for many for some time to come. as well you know our correspondent julie holland from. growth in turkey is quite impressive where does it come from. well indeed turkey's economy is one of the fastest growing in the euro but experts
8:15 am
say these growth rates are powered by stimulus measures tax incentives for example and cheap credit and instead of investing this money from abroad in the turkish agricultural sector for example or other productive sectors missed out on was pushing these funds into infrastructure projects mostly so-called mega projects or crazy projects like the gigantic istanbul appetite for example or another project called can now istanbul which is worth twenty billion dollars and once it's finished it's going to be something like turkey's suez canal of course such mega projects attract public attention but they don't really increase productivity so experts say this growth is anything but healthy or sustainable. is not the reason why investors. well one argument that i keep hearing here over and over again is that it's the
8:16 am
rapidity of the changes in turkey's economic domestic and foreign policies in the path. that has scared investors off let's remember there was a military coup attempt in twenty sixteen last year a controversial referendum on extending presidential powers so many actually don't know where turkey is headed politically this year turkey start of the military intervention in north and syria so all of this basically combined with diplomatic clashes with the us an important trade partner scaring investors off even doe turkey because of its current account deficit needs a steady inflow of cash and you also mentioned mr altgens eccentric remarks just recently when he said it's a high interest rates that cause a high inflation and he's going to even extend his grip on the economy and control monetary policy of course this suggests that he is willing to compromise the
8:17 am
independence of the central bank and that again has left analysts and investors scratching their heads a correspondent from istanbul thank you very much. back to brian now with news of another top level meeting on korea this one as with south korea's president arriving in the united states to meet with president donald trump three weeks before the unprecedented u.s. north korean summit is supposed to take place and singapore president mungy ends white house visit was originally arranged as a meeting to fine tune a joint strategy for dealing with north korean leader kim jong un instead it has become a crisis session after pyongyang threatened to pull out of this planned summit last week. now meanwhile earlier this month north korea announced that it would dismantle its nuclear test site at point you very scheduled for this week foreign
8:18 am
journalists will be invited to journey deep inside the mountain to observe the closing and a moment we'll go live to our correspondent in seoul but first let's take a closer look at this nuclear facility. in a notoriously secretive country this is one of its most secret sites north korea's main nuclear research facility is hidden away in a system of tunnels several hundred meters underground. situated in the north east of the country sixty kilometers from the chinese border the site has been central to kim jong un's nuclear ambitions it's where all of north korea's six million nuclear tests of taken place. the latest one in september last year pyongyang declared as its first successful test of a hydrogen bomb. a bomb that could be used on an intercontinental missile to carry a nuclear weapon as far as the united states as north korea has threatened in the
8:19 am
past the closure of perm yuri was announced after the historic meeting between the north's leader kim jong un and south korean president in at the end of april in which the two pledged to work for the complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula. north korean state television carried the news saying that all of the tunnels at the site would be collapsed and the entrances blocked it also announced that foreign media would be invited to cover the event. however some analysts have said that the closure of the site doesn't prove kim jong un renewed plans to denuclearize and so far north korea has not responded to calls to that independent experts verify the shutdown. skeptics have pointed to the destruction of the young people and nuclear complex by kim jong un's father ten years ago the cooling tower of the plant was blown up in front of
8:20 am
foreign t.v. camera teams and fell into to special day for the occasion. the nuclear activities at the side however continued. let's go to our correspondent jason strother now in the south korean capital seoul jason is this all spectacle we just saw what happened in the past and no substance right well i think the fact that analysts experts are invited to go on this sightseeing tour of north korea could be indicative that this is mostly for the photo in video opportunities foreign journalists are reportedly on their way to punk they have been flown to north korea however south korean journalists who were originally reported were denied visas and chung young really hasn't given a reason why although it could be related to north korea's anger that south korean
8:21 am
the u.s. have been conducting joint military drills ok now given the deception of the past does pyongyang have all their testing sites if kim decides to continue developing nuclear weapons. we really don't know if there are other testing sites north korea is a very mountainous country there could be facilities tucked away very deep inside some of those regions we just don't know but even if gator e. is demolished as north korea says it will do this week some experts say it could be a matter of months before it was able to get the facility back up and running again just like it did back in two thousand and eight when it destroyed the cooling tower at the young beyond the reactor site which then later began processing plutonium again south korean president moon j and is in washington today what's he going to be looking for in his talks with president truck well i can i guess your reporter
8:22 am
said it's more or less crisis management bryan it's moving jay and was flying to washington with the hopes of you know giving president trump the perhaps some intel on kim jong un perhaps out a form of chummy relationship like he did back in april when they met inside the d.m.z. however there has been some doubt now cast on this summit but news just came out here in south korea that. who is president moon's top security adviser who is in washington along with the president says that the trump kim summit is scheduled to go ahead as planned so they'll be meeting on june twelfth in singapore ok so some positive signals on that summit moving forward from south korean leaders there jason strother forest in seoul thanks very much for that thank you. well
