a massive impact on the german economy. and there was plenty of excitement to be had at the world cup on friday granted check out score the goal of the game as switzerland beat serbia in cullinan gras we'll bring you all the spectacular goals from friday's match. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us turkey heads to the polls on sunday with the future of the country's political system at stake if president. wins he has promised to deliver sweeping constitutional changes to further strengthen the presidency which was once only a ceremonial role despite his challengers everything is pointing to another win for the strongman. what it was. president. has been steering the course of turkish politics for more than fifteen

years. he has a good shot of reelection which would allow him to further tighten his grip on power. after this presidential election the most controversial constitutional changes in a generation or will come into force they were only narrowly backed by the turkish people in last year's referendum is out on wins the necessary majority he will be on almost all powerful president but he is not there yet. these people stand in his way they are add ons biggest challenges. sixty one year old medal action as the only woman running for president she has already served as interior minister and last year she founded a new political party she's seen as right wing nationalists and religious some call action on the iran lady of touch.

him into represents the center left c.h.p. turkey's biggest opposition party the fifty four year old is an outspoken defender of the text republic as envisioned by most of like a mulatto. he's a charismatic speaker and a harsh critic of add on. his turkey's first presidential candidate to run from behind bars despite international protests he's been in custody for a year on the health on terrorism related charges. represents the pro kurdish a party despised by the turkish government many of those backing the forty five year old attorney all young voters. only three challen. just want to limit the powers of the presidency and see a return to the parliamentary system they want to improve relations with your openly turkey out of its economic crisis it's unlikely any of them will win

a majority but if they manage to force add one into runoff elections it might end up a much tighter race for the seemingly opower for president. that report from years yulia honchos covering the elections from turkey's capital for us i yulia good to see you you've been talking to a lot of voters in the run up to these elections have you sensed a desire for change. oh yes there is definitely a desire for change and you can feel it when you talk to people on the streets at tea shops at the supermarkets offer ole miss out on and his justice and development party b a k p have been in power for more than fifteen years now and now there are many people who say it's enough there is nothing in it for us anymore they say for example the economy is not doing well on employment is high youth unemployment for example stands at over twenty percent and additionally due to doubt many people say

that their freedoms are being limits if they don't want to be told anymore what they can watch online they want a free media landscape i talked to people here in ankara today let's have a listen to what they have to say. well you know everyone should be treated if it's what we want but it's not happening in our country hopefully it'll change with. god i think i believe he'll bring justice and he's one of us. too much to do movies says our children have no jobs i'm really tired but my pension isn't nearly enough now when i did my help this ok or should it be what i mean joe try that harder manchester answer from i don't know why new democracy secularism he said there ya know we have many common values and. so yulia we heard some voices there supporting the how to ensure he's been described as the candidate who has the biggest chance of beating at a while a what is his message to voters. well actually he is using

this feeling this desire for change to mobilize voters first of all he is a very good speaker and he can challenge missed out on that and he has the guts to openly criticize him mr engine has a really really simple message he is telling people you are you have the choice between freedom and fear if you will for me you will for freedom if you work for mr adelman you will for fear beyond that he is trying to give a deeply polarized society a vision for real if he cation a turkey is after all a deeply polarized society there are many conflicts here and he is trying to get to people beyond the traditional base of his own party he is appealing to religious voters he is appealing to many kurdish voters as well so his message is if you will for me i'll be a president for all of you all be a president all eighty million people in turkey with

a country so polarized as you said yulia what is the most likely outcome of sunday's election where the polls say. well there are many polls but many of them are not reliable at all but there is one picture emerging here and this picture is that mr add one will most likely win the presidential race he is the favorite candidate off the roll maybe not in the first round but in the second round although the opposition is hoping to force him into the second round runoff where he will maybe run against mr engine as he's the most popular challenger and then the opposition has already agreed they would back mr injure or the remaining candidate against miss out on so there's still that hope and there is still the mood they missed out on after all is not invincible that's for the presidential level on the pallium entry level the poll suggests that missing out on might lose the majority in parliament his a.k. party and the alliance the electoral alliance he has might lose the majority and

then he would face a party in the very diverse parliament but since turkey is making a transformation from the parliamentary to a presidential system on sunday the big question is how much will a parliament here in turkey still have to say after this election or in yulia earlier this week you did a report about turkish people who are concerned about possible election manipulation just briefly if you can how free and fair are these elections going to be. when many people say these elections have never been free or fair from the very beginning since eighty percent of the media according to reporters without borders are now owned by companies close to the government this vote is taking place under a state of emergency which basically limits the rights of assembly and gives police added powers so these are the circumstances which don't make this election a very free and fair one from the beginning it appears yulia han reporting for us from thank you very much. and we have much more on what's at stake in turkey's

elections you can find it on our website at www dot com also follow us on twitter for updates our handle there at g.w. news now germany's chancellor has ended her brief visit to the middle east to discuss the migration crisis on sunday oncle americal is scheduled to travel to brussels for informal talks on the same subject with sixteen other e.u. leaders reaching an agreement will not be easy. on the americal seen here in lebanon needs an international deal on migrants to quell a rebellion within her own conservative camp in germany her domestic opponents want germany to reject some refugees of its national borders malcolm favors a european solution but is dampening expectations. on talk of brussels is just a working meeting there won't be a final declaration. given that we know as well that there won't

be any solution among all twenty eight member states on the level of the council next week to the entire package of questions on migration that's. a good illustration of america's problem is italy which says it is overwhelmed the country is rejecting migrants rescued by n.g.o.s from the mediterranean and says it won't take back any from germany either. for eastern european member states are boycotting the brussels meeting their leaders also don't think much of reimposed german borders within the e.u. . they were going to get around to. very thought preventing illegal migrants from entering e.u. territory has to be done at the coast of europe or at the coast of libya and not inside the schengen area which. otherwise the whole singing area would break up saying. that's

a view shared by austria which is about to take over the use rotating presidency and with which germany could soon have a hard border again. but this is because i think it's important that we no longer primarily fight about the distribution of migrants within the european union. but instead focus on securing our outer borders together. but beyond beefing up the use external border security member states don't agree on much concerning migrants and even france merkel's closest european allies is warning that the bloc could potentially break apart over this issue. did have used chief political editor of misallocation or traveled with the chancellor on her trip to jordan and to lebanon she joins us in our studio now. how. sure did the chancellor see on this trip she's very good being business as usual and she's very routine

she's been at the helm here and me for more than twelve years now almost thirteen so from the outside it was all pretty much business as usual we even saw her actually stick your tongue out at kids at the school where she was today but there is a sense also amongst advisors people traveling there everybody is aware that this is indeed a very serious situation here in germany after or her own sister bhatti those who should be in her own political camp now threatening to basically blow up that union between these conservative parties and endanger her as over that very issue of migration that has so become hallmarks policy we did hear her say on the strip that she's going to seek are aiming for rather by try or multilateral meetings rather than a europe wide deal how complicated is that going to be while she admits herself that she doesn't really know what exactly she can achieve in the big question is will it be enough to satisfy the see you soon now the signals we're getting here is

that whatever she delivers is not going to be enough at the same time we've heard from a cause that has never been shy of not just talking about a vision for europe but also that the european project could fail because of the eurozone that's too weak but also over this very issue of migration no matter wouldn't put it in such drastic words but she too is very much concerned. at best start will be made and there will be is so force of her supporters within the european union because that's what it is visors a busy phoning those european capitals for sure none of those eastern states who are completely anti migration will appear around the table but there won't be any kind of concrete outcome in the terms that will be written down on paper that something that was that was important to me as well but it will be a pretty disgusting round for that e.u. summit that's less. the week later and that then the just straight back into this particular crisis here in germany will it be enough and they'll be

a lot discussed in here months her own political allies and foes within the camp of other magical c.d.u. c.s.u. now in lebanon she was asked about the so-called disembarkation centers these are centers in countries outside the e.u. were refugees can apply for asylum here's what she said about that. we think that there are also good reasons to accommodate refugees close to their home country as the prime minister has said and we see our own as being a reliable partner but it comes to finance and most projects. is this a solution that could possibly emerge from this weekend's meeting but what to separate that comment site from these in disembarkation centers because those are something that is reported to be on the table from the e.u. commission potentially and this is something that the united states actually also sees as the way to have refugees come legally to the us they are kind of prescreen pre-selected by the un by the international office of migration and quotas are fulfilled for legal entry but at the same time what i'm going to michael was

referring to here more specifically was that she too agrees that migrants should be much closer to home they should have to come all the way to germany is really what she says and that's also why there are significant funds your prospects of one hundred million for jordan for instance in loans are sent from germany there to stabilize those countries so they are stable enough to cope with the influx of refugees and really there's no division between her critics on her migration policy and her in that all right our chief political editor michelle with us here in our studio thank you very much. now the maltese government says it is not responsible for a ship carrying more than two hundred migrants which italy has already turned away the lifeline operated by a german aid group which says it picked up people from international waters was blocked by the anti immigration italian government roman sists malta should take the ship and it is the second time in two weeks that drone has barred

a vessel carrying rescued migrants the first the aquarius eventually went to spain in. time for business with daniel now in washington's latest terror threat thank you very much sue me yeah the lives of folks logon dimer affected by this one bomb of trump has launched another salvo in the trade dispute between the u.s. and the european union after e.u. tariffs took effect today targeting american consumer goods like whiskey and motorcycles the u.s. president threatened a twenty percent tariff on european costs he used twitter what else to say that the u.s. should build them here instead the u.s. imported cars and light trucks worth forty two billion dollars from the e.u. last year in top european comedy because most of them german dropped sharply following the news. and hence quarter is on wall street for a c.n.c. what kind of trade impact can we expect of this proposal does go ahead.

if you only look at the car industry and also include auto parts the united states is running a trade deficit with the european union in the amount of forty four billion dollars so as far as we know no exec measures are under way yet it is a threat from the u.s. president so we really have to wait and see if auto parts for example will be included in those tariffs as well and if they're actually will really be coming but there is a lot of money on the table in the financial press commenting on this that there could be potential for the plan to backfire on u.s. consumers and workers what are you hearing. that's always the case when we talk about tariffs that doesn't mean it doesn't matter if it's on a limb in yemen if it's on products from canada or and all possibly from cars

from europe and at the end u.s. consumers probably will end up paying more but on the other side the u.s. is hoping that with those tariffs some of those companies will decide to produce more within the united states and that could be or could have a positive impact on the employment situation in the united states especially late in the ninety's early two thousand we had hundreds of thousands of jobs being lost in the u.s. car industry some of those jobs have been recovered but they had been quite an impact if you look maybe about twenty years back ok and is trump has he picked the right target here is the e.u. car industry really harmful to the u.s. economy or is he just hitting the e.u. where it hurts. well if you if you look. at cars getting imported to the united states the european union is a distant fourth they're far behind countries like mexico for example or old saw

canada a good seven percent of imported cars here into the united states to come from europe so that is a certain number but by far not the biggest one but he's certainly. we have heard most of them and if you look at the car market the global car market the u.s. behind china is the biggest the second biggest car market in the world so it is. quite important area for the european companies to be in yes it would hurt europe where it hurts and it wouldn't have such a huge impact probably on the u.s. car market overall well perhaps he's less in the driving seat the more just driving the e.u. crazy thank you very much. britain will do much better economically outside the e.u.

that's what opponents claimed but almost two years to the day since the country voted to leave uncertainty reigns and is just too much for many multinational companies the latest to sound the alarm playmaker us. airbus has threatened to leave the u.k. if britain leaves the single market and customs union without a transition deal if the european every asian group strongest warning yet of the impact of a no deal breaks it. if there is no deal breaks it basically catastrophic for this country and catastrophic for us and our supply tank there's not just the u.k. supply chain the most important thing is that we have frictionless trade which is why we're putting the facts on the table today if air bus were to leave britain economic consequences would be tough the pan-european airplane builder currently employs fourteen thousand brits in the u.k. building airplane wings for planes that are put together in germany and france

airbus is perhaps the most significant company yet urging the u.k. government to reconsider its policy but not the only one if the brakes it we end up having provide significant friction provides significant cost of course that will be an argument against making investments here in the u.k. and no deal scenario is just a little bit too high in terms of the amount of friction that it will create. it's unclear if the british government is hearing the pleas from the business community although they are sounding ever more serious closer we get to that march deadline that the more last minute summits we start seeing organized in order to to get some kind of deal done the greater the chance of an accident throwing things out at the last minute i think we really worry about that and we don't have that long to go. but just how at this point there is no deal in sight british prime minister to

resign may has ruled out staying in the customs union but you officials have regularly put a damper on any hopes for free trade agreement outside the union. that's it from me that's gets more news with sumi thank you daniel let's take a look at some of the stories making headlines around the world in spain a crowds have marched through pamplona to protest against the release of five men who assaulted all women at the city's renowned both running told the attackers later joked about the incident in a whatsapp group called the wolf pack they were cleared of rape but convicted of sexual abuse and are appealing against nine year jail sentences. and the death toll during two months of anti-government unrest in nicaragua has risen to more than two hundred the interim american commission on human rights says another thirteen hundred have been injured the agency claims nicaragua has failed to respect human rights during the protests.

there have been some spectacular goals at the world cup today we have press harrington from the t.v. sports to take us through all of it high crests high for you so serbia versus what's real and this was a tightly fought match through the end tell us about it yeah you know serbia came into this one with more momentum given the fact that they beat you know costa rica but they did acknowledge this would be a hellish game and it was switzerland who came out on top but serbia was a side that struck first we have the video let's take a look you know it's except you five minutes to break the deadlock and it was alexander mitchell bitches header that gave them the one no the beautiful no where to go but the back of it all that would but that is the power ball the power ball for the arsenal created shaka becoming the first swiss players it's like hundred fifty four to score in multiple pool cups put a tight score who would it be if be shared our security with the finger of the dust in the celebration incredible hope style winning the match for switzerland employee ray two one way to go out i mean hey it was a great game and really into the end but

a nice to see switzerland come through what about the other game earlier brazil against kosta rica was that a good going to watch as well it was an interesting match you know brazil came into this fixture as the favorite there's no doubt about. that but the coach for close rica did say to his side they were not going to be so physical they were but they were to try to get the upper hand with a few assist the referee trying to act his way and be awarded the penalty but no one was buying that pretty bad act the extra time was when story came through felipe to achieve his second goal of the world cup right now giving brazil the lead and then neymar came back to sprinkle a little bit of icing on the cake he did get his goal you know he was very emotional in his game and he said he cried out of happiness over coming brit and desire to win so very emotional you know for him and i like neymar a lot of people hate him but i do like he's great to watch on the field and of course how does that set up the final match day entropy it's almost like a pack of sardines up at the top we have brazil i think we have

a graphic we can take a look at we have brazil leading in the group of four points they have the better goal difference over switzerland but those who have played each other serbia trailing coast rica bottom of the barrel now the interesting match is next on the takes place the last match switzerland first costa rica brazil verse serbia switzerland need to win or possibly get a draw it looks like every team has a feasible chance if they score enough goals the only team out of the water has no shot is close to rick at this point because you would need at least. brazil switch brazil and serbia can draw they both have four points i mean basically the teams that win need to go for it i mean this is a tough to call get the way and see how the last match day plays out but i think in brazil in special in a make it through i do want to ask you about nigeria beating iceland to nail are you surprised by that no because i like you know here i like the super eagles you know iceland did have the upper hand going into this match considering their draw with argentina but their coach did say nigeria is

a physically strong quick team with the watch up to the counter attacks and the counterattacks her ice playing this after the break leicester city striker robin moussavi finishing off the counterattack he was done he was hit by that attack as he came back in the seventy fifth minute to get another goal and that was also a rope basically ice nigeria the super eagles they were so super against croatia and now there were living up to that adjective so it's nice to see that result and present to ask you the big game we're all waiting for tomorrow germany versus sweden where the players had that right now you know that's a very good question sumi they had called you a move addressed that to the media here's what he told his team dimanche off about their mindset let's take a listen. because the mantra files our team this yesterday the two most important weapons energy and buzzing. the team that played mexico was not the team we're used time's up t.v. and with this self-confident approach them playing stuff it was all fate and even

speed those are the fundamentals so far as it's all because we've seen it almost all the games at this world cup for the level of skills i has not seen at the very top level is snitched overbidding five iniki speed and optimism or a well couple absolute dedication so there's absolutely no question he teams are throwing everything they have shot into defending the tide you can make alan bussy hop all right when he's calling out his team but here's one fun fact germany haven't lost a sweden in forty years all right let's hope they don't lose some of them cross harrington from t.v. sports thanks very much ok. thanks for watching t.v. .
