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 bronson 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 activities 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's vowing retaliation against the u.s. tariffs what's likely to follow from a move like this. or turkey 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 are 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 lobbying very hard to

comply with its new iranian sanctions on current major trading partner with iran is seen as key to washington in its success of putting pressure on iran for now of course said it will not comply with those sanctions it's very unlikely in the present vironment it will change that stance. well joy 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 terrorists 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 there will be concerns of that if this route of the currency continues it could put pressure on turkish banks the today there is meant to be an emergency meeting between turkey thirds who provides a real border and turkey's banks to discuss the car currency crisis but beyond that the fact that turkey imports nearly all of its energy

a much of many of the 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 to fears about the future of those companies will be increasing the focus of attention and without the fear of growing unemployment tough times ahead for turkey whatever happens. well tough times ahead as you say it's important to mention 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 blight betray themselves with strong men and i think knievel will be prepared to back down even though old one is aware of the incredible costs of costing his country what 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 that president 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 they do not comply the stakes are very high in the coming days and pressure on the press president to back down will grow. all right our correspondent dorian jones reporting from istanbul thank you. so sports news now and in tennis and greek teenagers stefano says it has continued his final run of the toronto masters by beating defending champion alexander stare of sissy pos wearing pink battled back from a sect and five two down to turn the tables on german player is there a nineteen year old upset no by the joke of it in the last round he's saved two match points against a frustrated xv to take the clash into
