after washington imposed sanctions on some of its government officials the sanctions are in response to the detention of american pastor andrew bronson who was arrested in the wake of the failed coup back in twenty sixteen despite the bush stance from turkey's currency sunk as the sanctions took effect. effect of the u.s. sanctions on turkey can be observed over the course of just one day as the donor rises in value. or has fallen even further we're lucky if it doesn't fall further than ten. i just milk and eggs have become more expensive gas is more expensive and so is a bridge that your brand the divide between nato partners u.s. and turkey is deepening interior minister who himself was hindered by the entry ban tweeted this someone who belongs to us in america for to no good and we will take him back so he was referring to the islamic preacher who fled to the us have to president declared him responsible for the twenty six thousand attempted coup the

president trump on the other hand is worried about this man he was fast and through branson seen here in turkey last week as he was transferred from prison to house arrest three months after the attempted coup bronson was arrested on charges of terrorism we've seen no evidence that pastor bronson has done anything wrong and we believe he is a victim of unfair and unjust attention by the government of turkey. the u.s. government blames the turkish justice and interior ministers for bronson's incarceration those ministers u.s. assets have been frozen and in turn foreign ministry said that the threat of sanctions from the usa would not remain without consequence and. an outdoor way is looking to make its waterways more green the country has been investing in the development of battery powered and autonomous navigating ships launching more zero emission vessels is also part of a national push to save norway's famed fiords. this boat may not look so

impressive but she could be the future of the shipping industry. the seven metre long plywood prototype called land can operate autonomously. experts in houses in norway have been developing autonomy's ships for decades now the first self driving cargo ship designed for regular commercial use is nearing completion a full scale. is due to be operational from twenty twenty she'll carry fertilizers from manufacturers onto further transport at one of the larger ports relieving traffic on land. by doing this they're reducing the number of truck journeys by forty thousand per year. urban areas so it will have a huge impact on local society with emissions less dust less solemn less emissions and also safer traffic situation norway is investing in modern shipping not only

developing a thomas ships but also looking at green technologies with many of the country's few words heavily polluted by fumes from large cruise ships norway's adopted legislation allowing only electric ships to enter the few words from twenty twenty six boats like this one are now being developed this forty two metre long ferry the future of the few words was launched recently it can carry four hundred passengers and is powered by a large battery which can be charged in twenty minutes at a pier docking station. there are no emissions when we use the ship. the energy comes from norwegian hydro power which is produced directly here in the town of our land it's a green project that couldn't be more environmentally friendly. by supporting this technology the government hopes both to protect the environment and promote a burgeoning economic sector. the yarra be

a common project is supported by a fourteen million euro government subsidy people here want this project to be a success engineers are trying to perfect software to enable the ship to handle stormy weather and oncoming traffic they're working on steering it via satellite and they've also decided a two person crew will be needed at first for safety they would be cyber security risks there would be maybe the social interaction people might play a kick in right and the technical ability for it. but it's it is so that it is in place. but thomas ships like the yarra burkle and will likely only be used for short distances during their initial deployment but in the future perhaps these carriers will be able to seal the world's oceans without a crew. and now here in germany this summer's scorching heat wave has depleted some

of the country's most iconic water race rivers such as the rhine and the elba are at far lower levels than usual and that is working havoc for big boats and small. only a few pleasure boats are still out on the river elba in dresden bigger boats can sail water levels have dropped to forty six centimeters here about one and a half meters lower than normal. we should be up to our knees in water here but students need smaller vessels were still able to operate until recently but now they're going nowhere the. older boats with a shallow draft are still able to sail but it's difficult for them to dock so they've had to reduce or even shut down operations. on the river rhine near collins were barges are still on the water but most can only carry half their normal cargo so as not to run aground in the shallow channels but very passengers here don't need to worry yet these boats can still dock. about favorite tape

is it is all there is can still operate even if the water levels drop further what if i couldn't but if i can but it's possible that some of our passengers services won't be able to run just reduced field couldn't near the city of mines low water levels on the rhine have brought history to the surface police divers have found sixty six anti aircraft shells from the second world war they say removing them entirely is too dangerous these and you know i'm too scary condition is such that we don't want to transport them and cheating so we've decided to explode them underwater feel. the low water levels have also attracted treasure hunters on the lookout for precious time ject or to. a quick reminder now of the top stories that we're following for you here at d.f.w. international observers have condemned police action in zimbabwe following the country's election security forces killed three protesters yesterday and have now
