i am. me a and. getting. this news coming to you live from above in afghanistan announces a week song in this file with the town of on its president a shotgun is full unconditional office of the polygon it coincides with marking the end of ramadan with one of the bali bombers accept it or the coming out. as bottom on a morning it's a tense time is running out to find survivors of sunday's massive volcanic eruption

and they are warnings of the gentlemen involved again in the days ahead. and campaigning in both an unschooled and against the to president turkish citizen but living in germany have begun costing their bonnets in the country's election what impact is their votes have on the outcome. plus in the next thirty minutes the mystery of the japanese citizens abducted by north korea we need the model of one man who disappeared when he was guilty until and she tells us how she found on to what happened more than two decades ago. me. alone welcome i'm on the. the government in afghanistan has announced a recall on file with the taliban to coincide with the festival of aid which marks

the end of ramadan president a shotgun he made a surprise announcement after a meeting with islamic clerics this week and they declared a five hour ruling against suicide bombings and this is done is first unconditional offer to the taliban for suspicion of hostilities so far there has been no comment from the group itself let me now join journalist france marty he joins me from the afghan capital kabul francis how significant is this declaration of a unilateral ceasefire by the government. thanks for having me at the moment it is hard to tell how significant that is as you said this fire unilaterally is limited to one week getting on the twelfth of july to nineteen. it is also limited in certain other parts president when he said that it only affects

offensive operations against a problem and that operations offensive operation against islamic state groups or other what he calls for the terrorists will continue so there is a bit the problem how this will be solved what will be continuing what. this plus you also say that troops will nonetheless you're ready to defend and the hostilities from insurgents site so one question is how much it will affect if they decrease violence and all the question of course is if the taliban will also react to this as you said there is no official reaction so far and putting on spokesman's couldn't contact it now when i tried a few minutes ago by telephone but it is interesting that this often unconditional ceasefire has only been made for the taliban and not the other militant groups rich operating in afghanistan why do you think that's the case and as you said

a valid one has not even responded to this offer as yet. it is not that surprising if one follows the situation the year all forces fight was hard of a broader piece all for the president on the mates to the column bar at the end of february this year so this comes as a confidence building set and the garden peace negotiation the ethnic government has been always very clear that the politics are ask and this and with ben they want to find a peace that all the terrorist groups and. their own states let me say bronchi not going to stop is a foreign phenomenon that kong. t. swift that has to be defeated so dead this is only the top this isn't surprising again it is a confidence building measure so given the taliban reactions to the growth of peace all through which was it is official statement all the time very belligerent it

seems unlikely that this on condition as he's fired will turn to complete the but it could be a confidence building step then referred to a process called but how far this is possible or not is very difficult to say at the moment at the falls but it also comes off to the top clerics of gonna stand declared suicide bombings as machines forbidden is the afghan government's strategy changing to was the taliban think if you can give me a brief answer to that please. note also that the fault of all those part of the broader peace offered it was announced early. strategy isn't changing it should also be noted that the policy. then my home friends and also for the want to forget indonesia they call the american conspiracy and say that they spoke all it has no reason to miss you so well shouldn't you overstate the importance of its friends monti in kabul thank you very much for that assessment

and. now if the cease fire does come into effect it would bring some relief to the country of god the son is blighted by fitment attacks that have been mindi on the taliban and the so-called islamic state now earlier this week seven people were killed in the capital kabul and outside combat helmand province is not the most volatile regions in the country the harrowing story of one woman in our next report mirrors the fate of a nation called between tradition and war. eighteen year old khadija can barely remember her fast husband they were engaged when he joined the taliban and was killed by u.s. troops as is customary i was then forced to marry his younger brother. we had a daughter and when she turned one my husband was killed i was fourteen afterwards i had to marry the youngest brother. mother in law shows us

a photo of her most recently killed son he and another brother became policeman for the new government both lost their lives in an attack by the taliban. the. taliban killed two of my sons but another one died at the hands of the americans i hate them both. so we. could d.j.'s now married to nineteen year old chums the last surviving brother he's thinking about joining the police force for financial reasons but khadija is against it so what the nurse says i would rather live in poverty and starve the net to join the police he would probably get killed to the tune of lots of booze. five dollars a day as a rickshaw driver with which he has to support his whole family he used to work as an entire protest of the u.s. forces until they withdrew and left him to face the taliban's wrath.

i live in fear. but anything could happen there are so many attacks and shootings are nothing new to us. near the provincial capital lashkar gah the taliban have raised the flag on the roadside they cultivate opium poppies on these fields to finance their weapons their fighters haven't yet managed to get past the tight security checks bordering the city but morale among local security forces. it's sinking but. so many of our policemen are being killed because we have in effect of weapons and too little ammunition. the taliban are much better armed than us. but some of the city's inhabitants are hoping for a taliban victory the militia draws its strength from the government's weakness. and help you immediately what. hurts there will be peace one day she and her

husband have registered to vote in the upcoming parliamentary elections it would be a rare taste of freedom and her life. that's a lot less than i would have liked to go to school but it's too late for me to stay italian and make sure my children have a better future. i don't know what it means to be happy. all my life i've only known suffering. under the lid of a mother she did open up with. still mourning her second husband and she misses the woman he loved before he was forced to marry khadija they've been brought together by a war that won't and. this it's among the stories making news around the bond an explosion at a weapons deploy in the iraqi capital baghdad has at least sixteen people officials say the blast destroyed a nearby mosque in the mostly shia district and severely damaged other homes and

buildings the government says it's launched an investigation into what caused the explosion. king philippe of spain has sworn in a new government with the largest number of female ministers in the country's modern history the new pro e.u. cabinet under prime minister president sanchez includes eleven women and six men the socialist party leader took over off the conservative incumbent. was ousted in a vote of no confidence. to guatemala now where time is running out in the search for survivors of sunday's massive volcanic eruption and the warnings of new imminent eruptions the death toll following sunday's adoptions risen to a least ninety nine now with close to two hundred people still missing there is growing criticism that early warnings of the deadly of option and office of international aid what ignored. clearing the rubble after disaster

struck. the biggest priority for crews is to find and remove bodies buried under volcanic ash. it's a grim task and dangerous the volcano could erupt again at any time. we're motivated to do our job with everything we have been assuming that whatever it takes no matter how difficult the conditions even if it means risking our lives something we're very aware of. harms is on the scene and says there is growing anger as hopes diminish in finding survivors authorities say after seventy two hours in with the heat in the area it's almost impossible to find anyone alive anymore and the smell of dead bodies is becoming even more evident the president visited the area but refused talking to the press as his government is experiencing much pressure because of the late response he has shown during this catastrophe now

the most important thing will be to help those who have lost it all people that fled their homes what they were worrying only and may never be able to return to where they lived their entire lives. in safer parts of a screen emergency shelters have been set up for the evacuees. those who made it here are the lucky ones. lucas had little as he was we had to leave we couldn't take anything with us. the ashes were coming after us but the people who stayed behind were buried underneath in iowa nancy minus a battlefield we had a body of music of that on their house full of the moving around the lava came and took everything with it. which many people were killed. and. we have nothing left nothing at all. but the community has come together in a show of solidarity with people donating food and other items to help fill of

water moland who've lost their homes. a makeshift memorial has been set up to remember loved ones who were unable to flee the volcano's dudly reach. monica joins me now in europe style house is losing steam money bit by bit to germany doesn't look as strong anymore as we're used to it german industry is beginning to slow down in april demand for industrial products dropped for the fourth months in a row germany's federal economic ministry think is show that to germany recorded two point five percent less factory orders in the months before due to declining demand from within the euro zone economists expected growth of north point eight percent but the reason given for the receding orders is the general insecurity caused by international trade disputes and with that it is over to our financial correspondent to the frankfurt stock exchange only those figures are not very nice

how's it going down on the floor. not that well it's not the primary reason why the taxes losing steam and the euro is going up but that's more speculation about the future course of the enter interest rates here in the euro zone but it's certainly not helping if the data had been better than i think you'd see a different picture here people are talking of a nosedive it's very surprising you already mentioned that there was an increase in speed expected on the other hand there was a drop especially from demand for industrial goods from the eurozone customers that's alarming and people are saying the sorts this one now is the one thing or does the other one is out is there any light on the horizon that that show indicates that things are improving. but we don't know but the production figures

yet there's still to come but of course the orders are the prerequisite to later production so we're going to have probably a little bit of trouble down the road these are april figures so may june figures for that we'll have to wait and see but you know people are still seeing some sort of silver lining at the end that the comments have been more negative than they usually are when there's disappointment because it's four times in a row but people are saying well after all in absolute terms the order books are still chock a block full and the production is still going along very nicely and you still have the problem in germany i think even if there were more orders it might be difficult to satisfy them because so many firms here are frantically looking for qualified individuals for employees they can't find here in the labor market at the moment oh it's that that's down there right now it might even do them a favor at least for the time being in front thank you so much. well the turkish

central bank has meanwhile raised interest rates to seventeen point seven five percent the move provoked a shop jump in the value of the turkish currency the lira and it comes less than three weeks ahead of the country's presidential and parliamentary elections the interest rate hike off over one percentage point had been widely expected as data showed this week turkish inflation hit a six month high last month president recha tied as the one announced his intention to exert more control over economic policy if he wins the election and that's driven losses in the lira putting further pressure on the turkish central bank to race wraiths and today's central banks decision comes only two weeks after an emergency interest rate hike a growing number of foreign investors are pulling their capital out of turkey since the beginning of the year the lira has shed twenty percent of its value against the u.s. dollar is a major foreign companies are afraid to invest in turkey and its foreign currency

is a huge problem turkish firms have foreign currency debt totaling over two hundred twenty billion dollars and the makes it more difficult to repay the loans to make matters even more interesting among the lend european banks including italian banks. yeltsin professor of international economics at constance university of applied science what insolvency off turkish debt is could mean for the e.u. . it's italy it's spain and these are exactly the countries which have been going through a very difficult financial period and the central bank in europe had an eye on this loan positions with respect to turkey but still the in particular you mentioned it this country is in a political unstable situation and the link it should turkey will force european politicians to think about the potential bailout off turkey fire italy but i'm afraid that the german politicians in particular are not going to be happy about

these kind of into linkages and dependencies just remember the discussions in germany that bailouts basically why should germans pay for mismanagement in other countries and given the rhetoric between germany and turkey over the postes years that will be a very very difficult situation also for the european banks and european politicians i might marry if you want so now before the e.u. bails out there is another alternative for one has asked the international monetary fund for aid could turkey do the same and what the i.m.f. stepping. well there is a major difference and the i.m.f. is a lender of last resort basically comes in if there is a potential to restructure governmental deputy particularly in turkey we have a large commercial private death which creates this friction some problems and besides that i have my doubts that the political will in turkey is existing to take

in foreign international organizations i just want to. remind you that i don't himself was always boasting we as a as adept a country became now a credit to country in within the i.m.f. that would be not very hard right in times of the election ok that sense i know you think so. professor of international economics at constans university of applied science thank you so much i think you. so certainly a lot at stake there in turkey and i'm rita has more on the upcoming election there as you well know monica germany has a large ethnic minority and turkish voters living abroad have started casting early ballots in the country snap elections on june the twenty fourth here in germany polling stations open this morning across the country of the more than three million turkish overseas voters nearly half live in germany and they could have an impact on the outcome of the election in the last election three years ago some

sixty percent of turkish voters in germany supported president richard and his a.k.p. party and that's a much higher percentage than in turkey itself did have views that a guess was out in berlin to test the political temperature. tickets electing campaigning in the german capital is good good advice and his friends are canvassing for turkey's pro kurdish parties this is the word this is for the election in turkey were against terror one day if you're all against air to one ok i'll take one over. this new left because of president add on he's very concerned about politics in his home country. he's been. indicted and i've been in germany for six years. and many of my friends and my entire family are still there and they're dissatisfied and we have to change it or topple this

government. and that's why we're working from germany russia to support those who stand for democracy in turkey. but not everyone here is against and on these women are complaining for the turkish president and his a.k.p. party they don't like speaking to the gym impress me and initially brush me off as we are campaigning for the a.k.p. if you want we can take you to vote by card on the. party colleagues from the eight c.p.c. to present us to take a piece of porthos as a provocation. adding one is that terrorist agha one is a murderer. a heated answer comes right back a passer by says you are the real murderer of us she's doing the right thing with you you don't see if it i'm happy that type aggro on exists a little. bit of it. is good tries to defuse deceit to

a certain he doesn't like these public disputes with the a.k.p. supporters he thought it was shouldn't insult but did you hear what they said before you decide that you. know they are insulting. you could try to stay cool don't do the same thing as they do. at the elections in turkey tensions are running high here ambulance german turkish community people are divided by one simple question are you for or against riddick type two on. they live in germany but they are more fired up about politics in turkey to take a piece of poor to say it's only natural to do this is internally is our real home land our families live there and we're doing this work here for them with god's help. here is convinced there's more to it than that. if you don't have an identity problem because they've heard

a lot of bad experiences. yeah that's why they want to vote for turkey and why so many support the a.k.p. . but not everybody does. and it still is who don't support and that is good it's helping to mobilize by canvassing for the h d p campaigning in berlin against the turkish president. japanese fans a sense of the u.s. team the president donald trump ahead of next week's planned summit with the north korean leader kim jong un wants the u.s. leader to ask north korea what pyongyang kidnapping of japanese citizens in the nineteen seventies and eighties in our next report we meet the mother of a boy who disappeared when he was just thirteen decades later she found out what had happened. it was here after pan's west coast the first ten year old to kiss she disappeared from a fishing boat he'd gone out with both his uncles they intended to return the next

morning but the authorities declared them officially dead soon afterwards. i never believed they were dead but because the boat was damaged in the front many thought there'd been an accident which. she then tells us her incredible story twenty four years later she received a message from north korea that her son was alive. she says i traveled there i have pictures of it i could hardly take him in my arms because he was such a stranger to me it long since started a family of as own. i could hardly speak my lips were trembling so hard my knees went weak he was also shy and hardly moved a muscle. the whole encounter was so surreal i said you had

a small scar on your forehead and he showed it to me and then i knew it was him one hundred. after the meeting because his mother found out that her son had only just told his new family about his japanese origins. what kind of badges of those we ask cruise workers metal she tells us and goes on to say that the young ticket she had learnt korean very quickly and that he'd been told he'd been saved from the sea but he lived in a large apartment in pyongyang where she visited him many times but she had to promise her son that she would never say that he'd been abducted by north korea former japanese prime minister junichiro koizumi persuaded north korea to admit there had been cases of abductions but very few of those taken were able to return to japan. today there are still signs on the japanese coast urging people to report

suspicious boats once i asked a question if it's hard heard when he withheld something from me he said we'll talk about that more in the grave. and i thought that now aged eighty seven to casey's mother received a lesser offense from her son's korean family she'd set a final goodbye to them the last time she saw them. your thought on i've made sacrifices all my life or japan negotiated the return of a few who'd been abducted take a she protected himself in his own way of course i helped him because we could never be sure that anyone else would. not even now is north korea and the us discussed peace. how can we talk when we're in the grave she asked him you'll be lying alongside your wife no mother he said that's just my life and death you and i will be reunited. finally from me returned jamaican sprinter same boat is trying to kickstart his
