2:05 pm
said enough is enough the war has to stop and what are the chances of ending hostilities the u.n. has already described yemen saying it's on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe i hope one about the future and that a compromise can be found to bring peace to the region. a compromise has to be found right now eight and a half million years many have no idea where they will get their next meal ten million more you won't be free conditions if assuming these don't start by the end you know this is why the peace talks have to say see this crisis was created by the or it can only. force. he's a drunk from the united nations humanitarian coordinator for yemen thank you very much for talking to. a ship with eighty seven refugees on board has docked in spain after being turned away by italy in

2:08 pm
spain's new government is taking a lenient stance with migrants but the conservative opposition is in disagreement and the spaniards are worried. because how many immigrants could cause us problems that's just how it is. spain is a country with high unemployment. there's just not enough jobs for so many people. are the spaniards see things differently until you are bad volunteers for an aid organization and supports migrants like abu any way he can. he helps up to plant vegetables and takes care of red tape until new sees the refugees as an economic factor the plantations in the region couldn't get by without them. thanks to these people many others are
2:09 pm
getting rich. the immigrants live off what little money they can earn so they're cheap labor. but. they're not going to work the problem and they have to put up with everything and never complain. the bay wants people to know what's really happening in europe. but he's not ready to give up on his dream of a better life. now i'm living it. for me. to help myself. you know. what my future. will be. eventually once he saved enough money to be intends to return to ivory coast my son needs me he says all of africa needs us but that's in the future right now he's got to

figure out where he can sleep tonight. now let's take a look at some other stories making news around the wild bolivia's president evo morales is inaugurated a new government headquarters in la paz morales open to the people's great house project to replace an older building he said represented the colonial stage but he's facing criticism for some of the luxury residences trappings. use authorities say a fifty one year a man has been arrested on suspicion of setting a massive wildfire known as the holy fire in southern california as orange county forest clark faces a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted and will be formally charged later on friday the fire has to be some twenty thousand people. aid agencies are warning of the potentially catastrophic effect of a heatwave on north korean crops you see a full blown food security crisis is threatening the isolated country the

population already faces food shortages and international sanctions and reports suggest malnutrition among children could now worsen. federal prosecutors here in germany said they are planning to release a convicted member of al qaeda and nine eleven accomplice monied father from prison several weeks ahead of shed you most of their coups been in prison since two thousand and three will be released in mid october and deported to his native morocco he was jailed for assisting nine eleven mastermind mohamed atta leader of the so-called hamburg said that it was convicted of membership in a terrorist organization and being an accessory to murder. chief political editor michel a coup for me is following this story and joins me now in the studio. now more just said dick is due to be released after fifteen years in jail he was convicted of
2:12 pm
helping kill three thousand people in the nine eleven attacks going just leave prison and walk a free man and yes well that's certainly what the german authorities are trying to prevent from happening and this is also why this whole issue of releasing him early even started because it does somewhat sound strange that you would want to release them the pure reason is that there's a conditionality that the german. doesn't want him to be set free and money and to then be stuck with somebody who's still perceived to be a danger and this is where this whole question of releasing him october comes in he was due to be released in november and the big question now is whether the authorities in morocco will take him back so explain a little bit more about the strategy and by releasing him early he was supposed to be really released from prison in november this year but he's being held one month
2:13 pm
in advance this is actually a bit more than one month he was actually do to stay in prison until january but because of behaved very well in prison with you kind of get bonus days that's how the german judicial system works and now there seems to be dialogue with the moroccan authorities from who the average programmer thought about it really wasn't also able to get any official statement on this particular case but the hope is to get his papers ready so he can be directed transferred from a german prison to morocco if he is set free in germany this would be a much more difficult process he could potentially also try and apply for asylum in these are all complications that the german authorities want to prevent but they need the moroccan side to cooperate as they need the broken to news in algeria and all sides really when they to. try to extradite some to send somebody back or something when they want to deport somebody and one of the indications that the moroccan side will cooperate and take back what was still due to get some kind of
2:14 pm
official statement but having spoken to this there is a growing concern also in moroccan society that people who are criminals who are essentially terrorists. is still seen as somebody who is dangerous who didn't move an inch reading when it came to his extreme islamist convictions also during his time in prison the debate there is why should they take them back and this will be very interesting to see this actually happening. in the political editor thank you you're welcome. turning now to france in the south of the country about six hundred people have been evacuated to escape flash floods caused by heavy rain the hardest hit region is god where helicopters had to take seven hundred fifty people to safety yes. flash floods reduced campsites to mud. it was something it became so it was here so the river swept right through

2:16 pm
but there are some new ones which could be a challenge to navigate our correspondent and their fund of. berlin is on a quest to make the german capital more bike friendly but this new bike lane seems to have missed them a more. i have never seen a bike lane like this. it's really difficult to stay in the leg but it's also fun. to new lane has left local residents in a bit of a spin. when i came here i couldn't believe how precisely the line had been painted. to tell us this is a joke but it looks totally absurd it's not really usable either for cyclists or
2:17 pm
pedestrians. apparently the bike lane is the result of a communication problem with the contractor who painted dennis petri from the pro cycling group fox and shot found out that the land has a lot to learn from other european cities. in cities that are just beginning to improve cycling like paris madrid or barcelona they're spending huge amounts of money and redesigning their infrastructure that's yet to happen in berlin so berlin doesn't have a real other cities are going to overtake it was. according to a bulletin city council member does exact lines will be repainted this time st. and jim in cycling great nations being arrested in frankfurt on suspicion of assaulting a sixth and it comes less than a week after the former tour de france winner appeared in court on the spanish. he

athletes finish ahead of britain's next in the mitchell blake and switzerland alex listen. again how joins me now on european markets a falling over on why it is a turkey's economy it's hard to write to the lira heads of fresh low of six lira to the dollar amid strained ties with washington over the jailing off an american past the euro was hit hard after the financial times reported on friday that the easy be as also concerns about banks in spain italy and france and their exposure to. boss . struck off concerns saying turkey has its people and its gotten. turkey's economic boom was fueled by government spending but the upswing has come to an end official forecast suggests the economy will only grow by three to four percent next year markets are losing patience and that's taking its toll on the
2:21 pm
national currency. the lira has been sliding since the year began losing sixty six percent of its value since january. that stoking inflation which recently hit sixteen percent many in turkey are fleeing the lira for dollars or euros currency exchange offices are doing big business and the crisis is revealing turkey's underlying shortcomings. when you ask what's wrong it's the lack of production nothing else. what we need to talk about is a policy that would focus on exporting agricultural goods we cannot do anything with industry it's not well developed the. type of fluctuation we're seeing causes crises in countries that don't have a solid economy. i lived in europe i lived in germany for twelve years and i never saw anything like this. and it took. as turkey's people come to
2:22 pm
grips with the crisis the government has no easy options when it comes to regaining the confidence of the financial markets. so how serious is this crisis for the view from the ground and. turkey correspondent dorian jones who joins us from istanbul and for the market side of things our financial correspondent conor who is in from frankfurt dorian let's start with you on average turkish families already feeling the pinch. well i think they've already suffering the effects of double digit inflation before this latest rout in the current see those inflationary pressures now on that we will be further stoked. all of it in the oil and gas. a big green creases in fuel prices transportation costs and also much of turkey for materials are denominated in foreign currency so there is a major surge in inflation expected that will hit the pockets hard of many turks
2:23 pm
i'm going for there's already concerns about the ability of possibly importing some products there's rumors and reports that certain medicines are already being difficult to find because they've been imported so going forward there is a lot of concerns that that if this currency route continues it will be felt very hard by turkish people. on the ground kind of european markets are down across the board because of that drop of the lead investors in europe so worried. well investors are worried that european banks might be drawn into this as dorian just pointed out the recent the turkish economy was largely created driven and many of those loans came from european banks banks from spain france italy alone gave out loans to turkish business worth two hundred thirty five. billion euros and with the accelerated depreciation of the turkish lira of course it's becoming more and more unlikely that those loans will really be paid back and that is why the
2:24 pm
european central bank which is the major supervisor of the european banking system is taking a very close look at this and is on high alert. current pain the worst case scenario for the markets. well the worst case scenario as it was explained to me by traders here is. controls of capital flows which might be limited by the turkish government when the situation or if the situation escalates further further capital controls and no corporation of the turkish government with the international monetary fund the i.m.f. a look in the past there has been other occasions where we saw boom and bust situations in the turkish economy and at those times the most recent one happened around the year two thousand the government. cooperated with the international
2:25 pm
monetary fund with. the president added and his rather patry arctic nationalist stance it's of course difficult to imagine that he will cooperate with the i.m.f. . in frankfurt during joins in istanbul thank you both very much. pilots of europe's biggest budget and ryanair are in a coordinated twenty four hour strike across europe germany is likely to be worst hit with two hundred fifty flight cancellations at ten airports pilots in belgium sweden and the netherlands have also walked off the job. it's the biggest industrial action ever to hit europe's biggest budget airline the effect is visible here at frankfurt hahn airport where check in desks are understaffed and passengers nowhere to be seen many planes won't be flying today pilots union representatives in frankfurt say their message is ryanair must change. defeating
2:26 pm
ryanair it's about sending a signal that they have to stop trying to defeat their own employees. some passengers were forced to spend the night of early in the show and i felt airport many don't know when they will be able to fly out but some are showing sympathy for the pilots demands. it's unfair that the pilots have to pull the short straw just because passengers want to fly cheaply. and i think it's a potential safety risk if employees don't stay at home when they're ill because they're on a freelance basis and wouldn't get paid so i do think it's justified. ryanair pilots are striking across europe for twenty four hours as they demand higher salaries and better working conditions that's led to the cancellation of four hundred twenty four hundred scheduled flights affecting more than seventy thousand passengers. is
