easy ride. thailand's rescued cave boys are back with their families the young footballers have been remembering the brave diver who died trying to rescue them. and we focus on the podium wars invisible children now in their mid twenty's they were born to mothers and right during the conflict in the early one nine hundred ninety s. no one wanted to acknowledge them then and now they're fighting for their rights. hello and welcome my name is christopher spring thanks for joining us it's been two years since turkey introduced a state of emergency after a failed coup that left hundreds dead state majora now saying that emergency rule is over turkish president. used it. people to govern by decree
8:02 am
and crackdown on the opposition tens of thousands were purged from the military and from the civil service hundreds of politicians and journalists were also arrested although the government has now opted not to extend emergency rule it's proposing a stringent anti terrorism bill to replace it. and for more we're going to cross now to istanbul to our correspondent there dorian jones door in the state of emergency is lifted opposition parties though say that this new legislation that president ed one is putting in place effectively makes the state of emergency permanent did they have a point. well with the lifting of the state of emergency the tens of thousands of people currently jailed under those emergency powers on the more than one hundred thousand dismissed from their jobs will still remain dismissed from their posts and being jailed going forward it means to those powers that were used against these people will now come to an end and there is some hope that possibly
8:03 am
this could herald an ending or at least an easing up on this unprecedented crackdown since the twenty sixteen failed coup attempt but as we speak going through parliament is a new sweeping anti terror goal that reinstates many of the most controversial aspects of state of emergency including prolonged periods of detention without charge and access to lawyers empowering local governments to ban protests and also retaining the power to dismiss public workers from their posts controversially a new power is also being introduced allowing local governments to restrict access to cities to people and restrict people leaving cities and this the government says he's necessary for costs a threat posed from the failed coup attempt still remains they say least pals are needed to protect democracy but for the opposition they say that this law will mean a permanent state of emergency a concern that is also reflected by many international human rights groups talking
8:04 am
about human rights groups dorrian some of them are saying that you know everyone needs to lift the suffocating climate of fear that some gulf countries that are an accurate description of the public mood in turkey at the moment. well it does depend who you speak to turkey is a deeply polarized country the last month's presidential election saw the president only narrow winning with fifty two percent of the vote while the other half of the country are stormily opposed to him and one half believes that these emergency powers are being used to stifle dissent but the other side say yes this country is facing a still of had a failed coup attempt over two hundred fifty people died there is a danger still to be faced and we need the special powers that has to be said that . two years in power even among supporters of the president opinion polls indicate people do want the lifting of those pals but that does still remain to be said
8:05 am
though that there is still support for strong measures to supporters of president argue needs to protect democracy. a little over a week ago door in turkey reaffirmed its intention to become a member of the e.u. or at least continue the membership admission process how does that fit in with what's happening today. when it has to be said the lifting the state of emergency in many ways is seen as a gesture more to the european union and rather than through people in turkey european union have been pressing very hard for the lifting of the emergency rule they say that this is a block for any kind of progress or dialogue going forward and the fact is now this is being lifted there has been welcome signs from europe although there have been reservations too but it does open the door to greater dialogue now turkey wants the the starting of new negotiations to create a new customs union arrangement we have between token european union that's seen as
8:06 am
key to. the street but on top of that you're also needs turkey cooperation going forward to continue to control the access of migrants coming into europe there is a deal that has been seen by europe as a great success in stemming the flow of migrants they want that deal to continue. and they need to reckon they also recognize that they need continued cooperation dialogue the lifting of the state of emergency facilitate that although there is growing concern about the fact that this anti terror law does in states reinstate many of the most controversial aspects of the state of emergency ok dorian always good to talk to you during jones there our correspondent in istanbul. now u.s. president donald trump has spent another day trying to manage the fallout from his controversial summit with russian counterpart vladimir putin in helsinki on monday at that summit he defended russia allegations the country interfered in the twenty sixteen u.s. election or later though making a major u. turn by claiming that he had misspoken the press conference during that summit
8:07 am
trump is still facing massive criticism over his handling of the summit from politicians and from the public demonstrators have been keeping up protest in front of the white house for three nights now. last night trump told news channel c.b.s. that he did agree with u.s. intelligence claims that russia had meddled in the twenty sixteen vote and said that numerous times before and i would say that that is true but you haven't condemned putin specifically do you hold him personally responsible well i would because he's in georgia of the country just like i consider myself to be responsible for things that happen in this country so certainly as the leader of a country you would have to hold him responsible yes. well even the trump set off a firestorm of protest in washington once a call from. competent hasn't reached this range cowhorse classic the writers
8:08 am
getting ready to compete think the talks were nothing to worry about they're happy to see trump talking to putin and think you probably did a good job or at least tried his best i think that no matter who is in office somebody can always do a better job and they're always going to be criticized for whatever they do. i do feel that president term does have our best interest at heart. i think that is mr personality it could have been handled better i am impressed with the fact that he like most presidents of the past or human and make mistakes and he's willing to admit it and come back and attempt in his fashion to fix some. skepticism in trump heartland also runs deep of how the media is portraying this summit with putin and why politicians are bickering over at. a republican state senator paul bailey says they're simply not enough information to judge trump's performance there's just
8:09 am
a lot of speculation out there from others especially those politicians that want to criticize the meeting but in reality we do not know exactly what took place behind closed doors and i'm assuming that it was a good meeting and i'm assuming that our president basically was very pro-american and and he certainly let president putin know that. but some republicans have condemned trump for what democrats say was disgraceful or even treasonous appearing to believe in adversaries denial of election interference over information from his own intelligence service says the republican leadership has been frustrated by the putin trump summit because they think it's given democrats more fodder to rally their base around they would prefer voters to be thinking about things like the tax reform plan passed last year as well as the strong state of the u.s. economy as november's midterm elections come up they. they're hoping that the scandal surrounding this summit will blow over quickly but trump supporters here never thought it was a problem to begin with they don't think putin is taking him for

launched when they failed to return despite no one knowing that the boys were even alive. nine days later people found safe divers carried out an unprecedented rescue operation over three days racing against rising waters and falling oxygen levels. the extraction was decided by the team those who lived through this from the caves with a first out. safe and hospital the team page tribute to a thai diver who died during the operation. the boys say they want to be navy seals a professional footballers' when they grew up out of hospital they are now finally reuniting with their families and once again kicking a football. let's catch up with some of the other stories making news around the world hungary is withdrawing from the united nations agreement to manage worldwide migration for mr c.

themselves the invisible children and that's because they were born to mothers who were raped and became pregnant and i mean it was during the war between one thousand nine hundred two and one thousand nine hundred five the children grew up marginalized in a society saw them as unwelcome reminders of war and war crimes committed on all sides they're now in their mid twenty's some of these children fighting for their rights. twenty four year old usage was conceived when a croat soldier raped her mother during the war in bosnia growing up after the conflict without a father surname was enough to mark as an outcast. children born of war aren't recognized as victims of war in bosnia and that often leads to discrimination. and i just your program gets us the most common problem these kids face during their upbringing is with documents that's because their documents have
8:15 am
names missing on them so these kids have problems when they want to start university. now is publicly defying social stigmas and challenging bureaucratic barriers she co-founded the forgotten children of war bosnia's first ngo linking children of rape so they can lobby together for recognition. twenty five years after the war our goal is to let these children come out and let both the bosnian state and society know that we exist so that we get legally recognized by the government. n.-g. o. for war children is itself in its infancy across bosnia fifteen members have joined so far but founders are searching for more. allen movie was conceived want to serve a soldier raped his mother in one thousand nine hundred ninety three these children born of ethnic cleansing are now working together to break lingering ethnic
8:16 am
barriers. that long before i met anya i knew there were more of us. there was only a matter of time until we finally met at a table and shared our stories and experiences. it's not known how many children of war there are in bosnia today some estimate that twenty thousand women were raped during the conflict and that around four thousand of them had children as a result. many rape survivors kept the assaults and their children's paternity a secret women like alina. posted to the president after my child was born i hate her because i was afraid. i thought someone would take her away or attack or kill her. alina who asked to speak anonymously was twenty
8:17 am
three when an enemy soldier raped her she didn't tell her daughter but she learned the truth from her mother's police report that she discovered by chance. i know i know since she found out how she was conceived my daughter has been driven by raich rage against the so see rage because she is an outcast they swept us under the rug as if none of us has ever happened they denied it when we showed ourselves their only talked about this when they needed something like our votes when there are elections. by asserting themselves publicly bosnia's invisible children can become a symbol of progress for the country a bridge towards ethnic reconciliation and societal progress but if ignored these young men and women can become another symbol of a society stuck in a cycle of post-war divisions and zero ethnic politics. but for
8:18 am
now voices like i know as are the only ones breaking the silence about bosnia's invisible children. is the state doesn't want to talk about it somebody needs to that's why i feel responsible if i've started something i need to see it through to the end it's the only way to finally achieve peace after all that's happened. to me . ok we're going to check up on progress and the truth of the eleven stage was the relatively short one hundred kilometer ride through the alps from bellevue to la has yeah team sky is great thomas launching an impressive attack on the final climb and that for him cross the finish line first snatch the other jersey and leave himself well placed to win. wichita now heading deep into mountain territory it's time to weed out the serious contenders from the also rans team sky set the pace at the front of the peloton
8:19 am
happy to let a breakaway group advance i hate with thirty three kilometers to go on the days and ultimately climb spaniard out one hundred out of a day went on the attack native joined by tom to move around another to a contender but they were always in team sky sights the pack soon swallowing up a resigned battle that day out front to make county have a was now the lone breakaway leader there was a storm coming in the shape of grant thomas the team sky man peeled off in search of glory in the last kilometer he pulled away from a group including to move man before catching the last man in his way an incredible solo win by the great. for me just an amazing day i think i said whatever happens now as a bonus you know i think this race has been amazing for me so far and. there will be a success whatever happens that thomas takes over the leader's yellow jersey he's now the man to be. in golf the british open gets underway today with jordan speak
8:20 am
looking to defend the title he won so brilliantly just a year ago but retaining a major goals title is no easy task and one man who's been talking about that is full time major champion rory mcilroy he of course has had his fair share of ups and downs and had this to say ahead of the tournament. you know my performances in the majors at that point that wasn't the norm i was in my normal level that was above my normal level and then you sort of you you go back on and then you build yourself back up again but you know every everything finds its balance and it's you know. and you jordan's have a nice little run these one three in three years am i had a nice five one four and four and if you continue to do stuff like that you're going to be one of the greatest of all time but you know there's only really being one guy that's done it for like a ten year period where he's well not many and that was tiger i mean what he did and you know it was eleven years and he won fourteen major championships i mean not

is. pretty ridiculous. tom phillips has business news now in front of a chart and not the best of outlook for belief and see not the very best in fact didn't work for e-bay sales forecasts for the third quarter filled by fears that the all the marketplace is losing momentum it's also lowered its arriving new guidance for the year the company now expecting to make two hundred million dollars less than previously forecast the news comes as e-bay faces overwhelming competition from amazon of other retailers that are beefing up their online presence last month even a slashed three hundred jobs in silicon valley. the european union has introduced temporary vote on steel imports nor makers fear that u.s. terrorists will encourage major producers like china to send their steel to the e.u. instead leading to a search that could destabilize the industry and it's not an irrational concern
8:22 am
there is currently a glut of steel on global markets probably due to chinese overproduction china makes almost as much crude steel as the rest of the world combined to quote us will stay in place for a maximum of two hundred days. tough time seeing greece's economy but huge pressure on small businesses after years of crisis many forums call apps but one traditional family run company fall away to bill survive and thrive ringing up plenty of new orders quite literally. to go in oculus family has been making bells for over two hundred years the last remaining bill making business in greece is run by christensen thomas now in the fifty's when the financial crisis struck the two brothers refused to give up a trade that their forefathers began in the eighteen hundreds. making barrels is
8:23 am
labor intensive and time consuming and then. plunged by sixty percent in the wake of the financial crisis alongside a fall in church donations but the brothers refused to shut down instead they focused on exporting their bespoke chimes. there's a moral satisfaction that comes with continuing something your grandfather did your great grandfather your great great grandfather it's quite significant you know. now more than half the gallon of production is ringing out in countries like australia africa and the us. christofferson thomas sons will continue the business much to the relief of their fathers who feared it would end with them. there was no way i was going to let all my fathers and uncles efforts in building all of this be lost and secondly as a trader i love it i like it i find it enjoyable. that it will be
