hello and welcome my name is christopher spring a good to have you with us u.s. president almost trump has made a spectacular you turn on remarks he made off to monday's helsinki summit with his russian counterpart vladimir putin i think previously said he accepted putin's denial of any meddling in the u.s. twenty sixteen elections trump is now saying he does believe that russia attempted to influence them. except our intelligence community its conclusion that russia's meddling in the two thousand and sixteen election took place pretty other people also. a lot of people out there there was no collusion at all. well trump went on to say that he made a mistake at the summit news conference when he said he saw no reason why russia would want to interfere here's his new explanation and

a key sentence in my remarks i said the word would instead of one hundred. percent and should have been i don't see any reason why i wouldn't or why he did it wouldn't be rushing so. just to repeat it i said the word would instead of words. and the sentence should have been and i thought i would be maybe a little bit unclear on the transcript or unclear on the actual video said should have been i don't see any reason why it wouldn't be rushed. sort of a double negative. and just to give you the context of all this here's a reminder of what trump said in helsinki on monday in his statement by the way he starts by referring to dan coats the director of national intelligence in the us. people came to me did coats came to me and some others they said they think it's russian. i have president putin he just said it's not russia i will say

republican leadership is going to react to trump's backtrack the party's facing a challenging mid term election and the will probably try to avoid a direct confrontation with the president fearing that that could lead to a loss of control in the house and the senate alexander phenomena our washington bureau chief moving on now it's a year since iraq's armed forces liberated the country's second largest city mosul from so-called islamic state i asked had ruled the city for three years with the support of some of its citizens as mosul struggles to rebuild now reconciliation between those who supported i asked and those who didn't is an almost impossible task so for the time being those in charge are concentrating on keeping the two sides of this exclusive report now from the w.'s big issue. good there's good one zero zero zero zero zero zero. zero zero zero zero zero achmet

mohammed ramadan is a busy man he's a mixture and elected mayor his district can be found among the ruins of western mosul. from his workshop he organizes clearance of rubble and booby traps and is also in charge of food and water distribution the recent past is ever present even in these mundane tasks. that my when there's an assessment for food and somebody says this is the son of an i.a.s. family as i go out there won't be anything good for that family. then this guy blames another family who wasn't i hafta and so they don't get any food either. you . have to run man says about half the people in his district supported the i.r.s. some from fear some from conviction. the evidence of what that led to is everywhere

in mass graves like this one. the old boy how my son just wanted to cross the street they shot him in the back he was my only son. so he had six children. after rocket man asks for details tries to comfort her but there's nothing he can do. accusations eat through the community to try to find out what's real and what's not after a man is registering everyone he sends the data to the police military and secret services to be checked against lists of known i asked perpetrators. those who didn't do anything can stay those who cause problems after the. some of those thought to have worked with i asked are still in the neighborhood. but they're not coming out talk. opposite their house is

clear i asked we want your blood it says. the problem is that people are thinking about what happened all the time they don't have anything to do we need to give them word jobs which could reformat their minds i think the mind is like a memory stick if you don't raise it properly the grief will return all the time the. reconstruction of the city is slow as the right man would like more support from the government in baghdad jobs schools infrastructure. reconstruction a society is even slower. the phone rings it's not weirdo with an i asked. she says she wants to return home even if the family is in the neighborhood accept you i could let you come back but i'm

sorry to tell you that the people don't want you here. reconciliation he says will take a hundred years he retreats into this work mending things takes his mind off the huge problems he cannot fix. it time now to catch up on some of the other stories making news around the world latin america's leftist leaders have wrapped up a three day conference of ana cuba venezuelan president nicolas maduro lashing out at the united states accusing washington of rexton whose country records also pledged support for president and left wing government to nicaragua which is facing on going rogue. patrol boys and soccer coach were rescued from a flooded cave in thailand to just speak to the media today about their ordeal they've been in hospital following the high risk operation to set them free from

the cave in the province of china rai the group became trapped in the cave nearly a month ago. and brother troops of those killed were malaysia airlines flight m h seventeen was downed over ukraine have marked the disastrous fourth anniversary during the ceremony in the netherlands each others who brought out all names in ages of their deceased family members say two hundred ninety eight people were killed when the plane was shot down by a russian made missile international investigators have claims pro russian. now former us president barack obama has used a speech in south africa to attack what he calls the loss of shame among political leaders speaking at a tribute to nelson mandela on the centenary of the former south african leaders about also called on people to resist the rise of political strongman in an apparent reference to populist leaders across the world for democracy to work he

said people should follow mandela's example. but the micro see the man's. that we were able also to get inside the reality of people who are different than us so we can understand their point of view maybe we can change their minds but maybe they'll change us moniba he lived this complexity. in prison he studied afrikaans so that he could better understand. the people who were jailing him and when he got out of prison he extended a hand to those who had jail because he knew that they had to be a part of the democratic south africa that he wanted to build to make peace with an enemy he wrote. one must work. with that enemy and that enemy becomes one's partner. and south africa marks the mandela seventeen or it's perhaps worth pausing for a moment to remember his extraordinary life

a life that changed of course not only his nation but politics around the world and the rose to prominence when he joined the african national congress back in one thousand nine hundred forty three he began traveling all over south africa speeches speaking out for other against apartheid till one hundred sixty two when police arrested him he was then sentenced to life in prison on charges of sabotage twenty seven years later after a massive political change in south africa he was then released from prison and quickly was used as a political work he was elected president of course in one thousand nine hundred four off of apartheid with a whole list and then remained active in public life until his death in twenty thirty. so little doubt really about nelson mandela's legacy to the south african past if you want the nation today though is plagued by many troubles including a high proportion of people without jobs with few prospects for the future the freedom mandela fought for has little to offer them especially the young generation

. so west to south africa the township to the seas wake whose e still calls home he's part of the first generation of children born in the hopeful years after apartheid to the rainbow nation nelson mandela dreamt of is far from reality he says differing from a nation is a really big drugs everywhere in the story today yeah definitely a lot of crime. it's only one nation as well you know so many young south africans say they've had enough of the myth of mandela. they may have the freedom he fought for but what you see is that they are about a job no prospects. and everybody says. it's true. so yeah people have lost their lives in their

wonderland. their lenders deal with the people who took it and stuff so all i don't know ok let me fixed it can somebody fix it. not everyone has lost their optimism that caylee cliff it is a student of political science in johannesburg i think it. now is manila is still. something of a symbol of peace in the city and should i think he was an excellent statesman more than that he represented what it was to simply just be a good person and i think that's what resonates with the youth kaley cliff it has a mixed heritage background she personifies the reconciliation mandela fought for. a member of south africa's young well educated elite she's able to take advantage

of the opportunities in this country but cliff it is aware that not everyone has benefited from mandela's legacy i don't know whether it did enough to introduce sort of the group certain phrases and my heart of society and i think that's probably why we find ourselves in a situation mightily when you use the still very angry east a lot of resentment and sort of tension pumping beneath the surface. and an issues of race lost ordinary sense itself. in silhouette or some people have stopped engaging with politics entirely. to listen sway k.z. and his friends say politicians are only interested in winning votes. so they've taken the tosca of change making into their own hands on a street corner they've built a small youth club with a skate track and vegetable garden where people. only. just one place. and everybody makes

mistakes for them all just do everything. that we can do our own thing. to to see his way and his friends may have lost faith in politics and the legacy mandela left behind and yet they've demonstrated here that individuals of whatever background can together still bring change. the security forces in nicaragua have laid siege to an opposition neighborhood in the capital managua as part of a crackdown on anti-government protests at least ten people were killed over the weekend and police in gunmen loyal to president daniel ortega attacked student demonstrators monday families held funerals for the victims. i think grieving and angry friends and family of those killed in last weekend's violence marched through the streets of managua carrying their loved ones to their final resting place but while they were mourning the dead others gathered to demand

explosive power to appoint central bank rate setters and naming his son in law to oversee economic policy the lira already under strain has since taken a further beating with investors fearing free market forces are being suspended under an autocracy to w.s.u. johan reports from istanbul. the price of onions has quadrupled potatoes and tomatoes are also far more expensive than they were a year ago turkey is in the grip of spiraling inflation and everyone seems to be feeling the effects. in these cities we can't afford the things we need we can't go on holiday we have to limit ourselves unfortunately. president ready to tie a pair to one has promised his people a glowing future but he says he needs to consolidate his power to make it happen

his control now extending even over the central bank some analysts say they're living in an autocracy. of all the institutions that. are under the sway. over the freedoms. and the simplest solution. urgent one influence of the central bank has accelerated the turkish nero's depreciation global investors have been pulling their money out of the country for months sending the lira tumbling twenty five percent against the dollar since the start of the year that's made imports more expensive. this is crazy. this is a very misty group will go to work for. work growth tops the list of arid ones priorities so he's shying away from further interest rate hikes

that in turn promotes inflation a vicious circle that's setting a lot of turks some economists just that the lira is turkey's last remaining opposition party has. sent us this report and she joins us now in istanbul. type everyone promises grows but reality looks very different only recently fitch downgraded to take his credit worthiness from your perspective how bad is it. well growth figures are not telling the fool's story turkey was cut deep into junk territory by fitch ratings because the country's current account deficit is widening the turkish lira is plunging and inflation is at a record high with fifteen per cent so prices are increasing for households and businesses alike and these are the figures that people can really feel in their

daily lives many people i talk to here are extremely frustrated they complain about everything getting more expensive from food to fuel on the employment is also high but if you ask miss to add on the economy is just on the right track he also says that he doesn't want to hear about criticism from international credit rating agencies to the contrary he promised to make turkey one of the ten largest economies in the world and he believes the way to get there is by him taking more control over the country's monetary policy and now after his reelection he has a sweeping new powers to do so but analysts investors say this is basically a market hostile economy approach and if turkey follows this path it might face as severe economic crisis soon and might even have to knock at the i.m.f. store and ask for help transition into a state has certainly kept foreign investment at bay for quite some months

now how do you think. could regain trust which obviously is necessary. well that's the big question now certainly his approach to take more control over the monetary policy of the central bank is so cheating right now quite the opposite it's also his decision to appoint his son in law mr bad either by a doctor of relatively an experienced politician politician as ministry as minister of treasury and finance so basically as the chief economist has not gone down well with the markets and mr abbott is replacing name and shame shake an investor friendly former merrill lynch chief economist who was a very trusted expert in his field so now the big question is will missed out on his new team why they are promising to rick rebalance the economy and to decrease inflation will they really be able to manage this fragile economy and manage to

regain trust with foreign investors. reporting from us from istanbul thank you so much. and european regulators are finding google five billion dollars for abusing its dominant market position the european commission has accused the company of requiring mobile phone manufacturers to pre-install its search engine and browser as a condition of licensing apps it also accuses google of preventing companies from selling smartphones drawn on rival operating systems based on the i'm going to open source quote. and as a reminder of the top story we're following for you this president on the trump has backtracked on remarks he made after his summit with russian leader vladimir putin faced with a barrage of criticism from now says he supports u.s. intelligence agencies and accepts their findings that russia meddled in the twenty sixteenth u.s. election. watching the news coming to you live from berlin the latest again at the
