reassure a nervous public saying his government had the situation under control he promised turkey would ward off what he called an attack from abroad and called for an international struggle. if anyone has dollars euros or gold under their pillows they should go exchange it for turkish lira is it our banks this is a national domestic battle this will be my people's response to those who have waged an economic war against us. president trying to impose sanctions on turkey because of its refusal to allow an american pastor andrew brunson to return to the u.s. try and strengthen the sanctions in a twitter announcement which adds insult to injury in turkey's growing economic crisis. turkey accuses brunson of espionage and terrorist activity despite sustained economic growth the lira has lost more than a third of its value the turkish population is bearing the brunt. of course where

frayed our income has less worth and prices are rising for food too that's worrying . the turkish finance minister promised state influence on the central bank would be diminished in a bid to win back investor confidence but it's unclear whether this will have a calming effect on the markets. well for more we're joined from istanbul by correspondent dorian jones so dorian the turkish foreign minister saying he is vowing retaliation against the u.s. tariffs what's likely to follow from a move like this. or tell you can do very little economically to retaliate against the united states but it can hurt washington strategically or u.s. forces working with a searing kurdish militia just across the turkish border turkey considers that militia or a terrorist organization so it could run part pressure on that militia and the u.s. forces there on top of that washington has been pushing. very hard to comply with

its new iranian sanctions on current major trading partner with iran is seen as key to washington and the success of putting pressure on iran for now and they will not comply with those sanctions is very unlikely in the present environment it will change that stance. well during meanwhile the turkish financer has been trying to reassure the public but the reality is that the currency has been taking for months and the country has seen inflation at nearly sixteen percent and now these american tariffs what's the impact on ordinary turks i think for the moment it is complete shock they've seen their currency literally implode in front of them beyond that i think that there will be concerns of that if this route of the currency continues you could put pressure on turkish banks the today there is meant to be an emergency meeting between turkey first who provides a really bold and banks to discuss the car currency crisis but beyond that the fact

that turkey imports nearly all of its energy and much of many important imports there will be the expectation of a huge wave of inflation hitting turkey in the coming weeks and months on top of that many big companies have borrowed large amounts of money in foreign currency loans fears about the future of those companies will be increasingly the focus of attention and with that the fear of growing unemployment tough times ahead for turkey whatever happens. well tough times ahead as you say it's important to mention though that the latest u.s. tariffs were imposed specifically in response to turkey's prolonged detention of america of an american pastor would to the government consider releasing this man as a way out of its economic crisis with this passenger brunson has become basically the center of a battle of wills between the turkish and u.s. presidents both men bleich betray themselves with strong men and i think medieval will be prepared to back down even though old one is aware of the incredible costs

of costing he's a country but he's presenting this is basically a battle for the future of democracy he says that this current sea route is an attempt to remove him from power and he's vowed to resist this with our present rhetoric it makes it very difficult for him to step back reports say the americans have given turkey a deadline of this wednesday to return brunson with the expectation of further sanctions if they do not comply the stakes are very high in the coming days and pressure on the press focused president to back down will grow. all right our correspondent dorian jones reporting from istanbul thank you some sports news now and tennis greek teenagers stefanos city boss has continued his fine run at the toronto masters by beating the defending champion alexander's very of it's a fast wearing pink battled back from a set five two down to turn the tables on the german players there as the nineteen year old had upset over a joke of it in the last round he saved two match points against

a perfectionist and i think he's just what we need. far from the favorite fast attacking football none of his boring passing the ball around the key for him is that his team know the basics that's why during pre-season he's often had his side training twice a day considerably more often than peter bush last summer. it's important that i get to know every single player. not just as a person but on the pitch to change that's important and the reason why we practice is often as possible sometimes even twice a day. and poor put time to. the club of show their ambition by signing acts of it so who had strong performances for belgium at the world cup that has been dorman's biggest of seven newcomers so far. but for a team in transition it won't be easy to start the season and the fust leg. and
