lead. the magazine on the dummy. this is g.w. news live from berlin turkey anyways it's two years state of emergency but new anti terror legislation has opposition groups worried they believe the president had won will use his sweeping new powers to consolidate the antiterrorism introduced jury in the state of emergency and look at the latest from istanbul. also on the program as president trump struggles to contain a political storm in washington we get the view from tennessee at the rodeo they

are giving him an easy ride. and thailand's rescued cave points are now back with their families some of them say they want to become navy seals or professional footballers when they grow up. hello and welcome my name is christopher spring eight thanks for joining us turkey has lifted its state of emergency which was introduced two years ago after a failed coup that left hundreds of people dead turkish president richard typepad one used a measure to rule by decree and crackdown on the opposition tens of thousands were purged from the military and from the civil service and hundreds of politicians and journalists were arrested. although the government has now opted not to extend that emergency rule it's proposing a stringent anti terror. well 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 so say that this new legislation that president everyone is putting in place effectively makes the state of emergency permanent 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 and the more than one hundred thousand dismissed from their jobs will still remain dismissed from their posts and being jailed going forward it means that those powers that were used against these people will now come to an end and there is some hope that possibly this could have all the an ending or at least an easing up on this president a crackdown since the twenty six team failed coup attempt but as we speak going through parliament is a new sweeping and terrible that reinstates many of the most controversial aspects of state of emergency including prolonged periods of detention without charge and

access to lawyers power in local government to stop banned 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 say is necessary because the 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 more will mean a permanent state of emergency a concern that's also reflected by many international human rights groups well talking about human rights groups dorrian some of them are saying that you know everyone needs to and i quote lift the suffocating climate of fear that some gulf countries that are an accurate description of the public mood in turkey at the moment. what it does the pain who you speak to turkey

either deeply polarized the country i mean the last month's presidential election saw the president only narrowly winning with fifty two percent of the vote while the other half of the country are stormily opposed to him and one half believe that these emergency powers are being used to stifle dissent but the other side say yes this country is facing a still up right we had a failed coup attempt over two hundred fifty people died there is a danger still to be faced and we need these special powers that has to be said that emergency will be in two years in power even among supporters of the president opinion polls indicate people do want the lifting of those powers but they still remain to be said though that there is still support for strong measures to supporters of president argue needs to protect democracy thorin journeys there our correspondent in stamboul now u.s. president donald trump has spent a second day trying to manage the fallout from his controversial summit with russian counterpart vladimir putin at that summit in helsinki he said he believed

putin's denial concerning allegations of russian interference in the twenty sixteen u.s. election a day later that trump made a major u. turn claiming he had misspoken when addressing the media trump is still facing massive criticism over his handling of that summit both from politicians and from the public demonstrators keeping up protests in front of the white house for three nights in a row now. last night trump told u.s. network 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 you hold him personally responsible. well i would because he's in charge 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. so donald trump a firestorm in washington but what true ordinary americans think she doesn't is clear richardson has been traveling in country in tennessee where she found out that most people aren't too concerned. donald trump is getting an easy right here in tennessee the uproar over his summit with vladimir putin hasn't reached this range cowhorse classic the writers 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 a little better i am impressed with the fact that he like most presidents in 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 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 an adversary's 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 mid-term elections come up 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 a ride. turning now to some of the other stories making news around the world the israeli parliament has now only passed a bill to explicitly defined the country as the nation state of the jewish people the bill makes hebrew the country's only official language downgrading arabic to special status arab israelis have condemned the new law as discriminatory and grapes of. britain's press association news agency is reporting that british police believe they've identified the suspects responsible for an attack on a former russian double agent and his daughter and munch. script fell ill in
