this is news coming to you live from berlin the turkish lira falls to a new low the president says his country's financial system is under attack he probably has to take steps to stabilize the currency today but fear is growing that the crisis could spread to other markets including europe also coming up. drowning out the white supremacists anti racism stern out in force to protest against a new nazi rally in washington d.c. . and by munich begin the new season with an emphatic victory over frankfurt in the

german super cup bringing you the highlights from their latest trophy winner. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us the turkish lira hit a record low during monday's trading in asia it has since recovered but the currency is still very unstable it's lost forty five percent of its value so far this year putting the turkish economy under a lot of pressure from the business desk as more in fact terry the turkish president tried to type out of the on says his country is in a state of economic war and his government is about to announce an action plan that is supposed to stop the lyricist continuing decline but a diplomatic dispute with the united states that has led to donald trump to double tariffs for turkish steel and aluminum is unlikely to be resolved anytime soon.

turkey's lira is in freefall last week alone it fell by one fifth against the dollar president retta tie affair to one has appealed to the public to stay calm and believe in god he's also urged them to convert their foreign currency holdings into lira but people are doing the opposite hoping to keep their cash safe in dollars and euros. that's accelerated the dive i'm sent inflation soaring it was a ready hide back in january ten percent by july it had risen to sixteen percent . the ripple effects could soon be felt beyond turkey with concern growing about foreign banks being exposed to turkish debt within the e.u. spanish banks of the most vulnerable have been lent a total of eighty billion dollars to turkish bar whereas. turkish companies are concerned they won't be able to meet their debt commitments to foreign investors.

u.s. president donald trump's decision to double tariffs on turkish steel and alue many i'm imports have come as a further devastating blow to the economy investors are now seriously questioning whether the country can free itself from what's turning into a major crisis. it is a critical situation let's go to. correspondent. for us good to see you the government was very quick to say that they have an action plan that there is no economic reason for this turmoil are people there buying that what's the sentiment . well the sentiment on the street is a complete shock they've seen their currency implode in the front of their eyes and it's now fear and trepidation about what the future will hold because turkey is no stranger to currency crisis it knows what the repercussions are of these and that will be massive inflation turkey relies heavily on imports i have to be paid in

foreign currency and there is awareness that this is tsunami of price rises is will it turkey and with that there is the fears of rising unemployment so at the moment there is a great deal of fear of what the future will hold and despite the president's calls of people to convert their foreign savings into the lyrics of the fender currency it appears that that court is not being heeded as the currency continues still fall and we do know that the governor wants to announce this action plan we know don't know the exact details yet but what types of measures could we see there taking it over. but it's very difficult to say i mean the the finance treasury minister on friday who is the son in law of the president the new economic model one for an hour it did very little to comment versus concerns is unclear what measures he can take because the president has ruled out all the measures that international investors are calling for no increase in interest rates that the friend the currency the president says that is out of the question even if the case

if they could even for no reining in of turkey's massive public expenditure which is over leverage the economy and also nowhere talks or any prospect of making an i.m.f. agreement which is seen as key by investors to bring stability to the markets and the reason why the president is taking this harsh stance he doesn't believe this is a financial crisis he believes this is being generated by washington and what he calls his economic war and therefore he says there's no need to take financial steps he says this is a battle between the two countries so that means that the situation will probably get worse if there is no actual solution could there be a contagion to other emerging markets for example because that's a big fear. well that certainly doesn't fit peter to be the fear on the international markets in the middle east emerging markets there have been heavily particularly banks that have large investments in turkey and there is a similar concern about european banks that have strong local links to banks in turkey they could be exposed and you have to realize turkey owns in the region of

well over two hundred billion dollars in foreign debt so most of many much of that is linked to the european markets and turkey continually needs this money to sustain the economy how it will do that is the big question and that is putting a big question mark over the sustainability of the turkish banking system going forward if the currency continues to sustain these heavy thoughts. durian turkish government has given some indications that it may try to develop more economic ties with russia and gravitate away from the west is the turkish government ready to go that route do you think. well it certainly is the message of president nerve wanting in fact he wrote he penned an op ed in the new york times outlining that he says turkey's very strategic partnership with the united states is at stake and he's already alluded to the growing ties with moscow and now beijing in fact turkey recently signed a loan agreement of several billion dollars with china that is being suggested as

a way possibly out of this although investors are very skeptical that will be a solution. really the message coming from her is if washington continues to take its hard stance towards it will look to our partners and that cast doubts about even the future of turkey's nato partnership dorian thank you so much for bringing us up to date dorian jones there in istanbul. a white supremacist rally in washington d.c. fizzled out on sunday after only a handful of neo nazis showed up the supremacy ists were massively outnumbered by hundreds of counter protesters the rally was held on the first anniversary of a demonstration in charlottesville virginia where one woman was killed. i think hundreds of people marching through washington to condemn racial hatred

hereafter a white supremacist rally in charlottesville ten deadly these counter-demonstrators far outnumber the white nationalist protest which is also being how the new u.s. capital yes it's vital that. we don't allow white supremacist and open fascists to take the street uncontested i don't want nazis and white supremacists to speak for me i thought it was important to come out so that there's other voices to counteract them this empowerment of people who think that their congress and conference suit was easy because rights is way out of line and because of a skin tone isn't it diggler says. the group around twenty white nationalists was much smaller than expected and was escorted by hundreds of police officers who were out in force to ensure no clashes erupted. the organizers downplayed their role in last year's violence. side i be trying

to use oh there'll. be a police i mean i didn't even do what i. i i. think in charlottesville where the far right was forbidden to rally this year largely peaceful commemoration events white house last year hundreds of white nationalists descended on the city to protest the removal of a monument in confederate general robert c. late the rally ten violent as protesters clashed with counter protest is common ating the death of head the higher it was killed when a man for a his car into a crowd was. back in washington a downpour brought in and sewer day of remembrance and protest without any violence . our correspondent my is straight or was the demonstrations in washington here's her take on how the protests unfolded. in washington d.c. there were far more counter protesters who converged on the city to stand against

the white nationalist message of exclusion and white supremacy a lot of these people here came from all over the country and there were several hundred more than there were actual white nationalists who came to protest for their cause but a lot of the people here told me that they fear that the tide has not turned since last year in charlottesville when heather higher was killed they fear that white nationalism is still on the rise in the country fueled in part by a president who refuses to speak explicitly out against it. you know his bias waiter there reporting from washington now to some of the other stories making news around the world today officials from north and south korea have agreed to hold a third summit between their leaders some time before the end of september decision came during a fresh round of high level talks relations fall further between the two countries the meeting is taking place in the demilitarized zone a long their mutual border. fire at a hospital in taiwan has chilled at least nine people and injured more than fifteen

massive changes are underway and that formerly communist country last month the country's single party assembly approved a new constitution recognizing private property the draft builds upon changes to the cuban economy taking place since two thousand and ten that's when the country began allowing people to run their own businesses in dozens of professions for many hardline communists these changes go too far and so starting today the party is consulting cubans in a series of public forums correspondents found that the debate is already well underway. cuban hotel i know julio has been working in hospitality for more than a decade he's closely following the debate over amending cuba's soviet era constitution the national assembly has recognized the right to private property its decision could come into effect next year but even if it happens julio is not

expecting changes of a not good i mean i don't think that recognizing private property in the constitution will automatically mean that we'll see the creation of small and medium sized private companies in cuba but if. the national assembly is adoption of a draft constitution fall i'd hate to debate some lawmakers express concern that the changes could effectively made the end of communism julio feels insulted by some of what she had to say. well we. like herds of males in the national assembly over whether it would be right to allow artists and athletes to accumulate wealth. but it can and put in the one hundred talent and skill matters to me when people said it's a demeaning role they were degrading our country. to him. and. private property and the role of the market and now set to be enshrined in

a new constitution but this still has to be officially approved in a referendum. certainly it would i agree with what's happening and i hope other changes in our country will also be taken into account through further modifications of the constitution that mining the labor level to the same play ok in the private sector should be recognized that companies like cooperatives are more in line with our system which is socialism as. head of the referendum the people of cuba will be able to have they say on the draft constitution. catelli houllier ok is planning to attend bytes to propose his own ideas on what should happen next. in. individual enrichment always brings about a collective irish right with. through taxation i'm going to go through the creation of individual employment or else by creating improvements in a community. so entrepreneurship ought to be seen as

a potential opportunity for the cuban government because it can assist in improving citizen's quality of life. for. many cubans hope the brand of socialism set to be enshrined in the new constitution will bring them greater prosperity the vote has created a new debate over the country's future. speaking of debates a number of countries in europe have banned muslim women from wearing certain types of clothing in public such as burkas and face veils to know no such law has existed here in germany but now one reason is considering banning the headscarf for girls under the age of fourteen as. found in one school it's a highly controversial issue. and three classmates three muslim girls so he that has been wearing a headscarf since she was ten it bothers some politicians want to forbid girls from

doing so. on my screen this time only twelve and if they say you have to leave you headscarf i say no it's my choice you can't tell me what to do you know my parents you don't have custody of me and you can't make my decisions for me. i also want to wear a headscarf but only when i am older and mature enough to make my own decisions. but at what age are girls really old enough to make a conscious decision to wear islamic head covering the german state up north rhine-westphalia integration minister says that younger than fourteen is too young and he thinking about banning it if it was gone speak to. me is pretty important to us we want women who voluntarily decide to wear a headscarf to be accorded full respect by society this is nothing to do with marginalization but we do not want young girls to be forced into it. because. most google's here at there's a big sell but comprehensive school in bonn say they were the headscarf voluntarily

. almost half the students here are muslim but only very few of them actually where he job under the age of fourteen what is striking though all the girls i talked to say they plan to wear one in future. some teachers are critical of this trend but they feel a ban would be counterproductive the state islam teachers at the comprehensive school in bonn take a different approach. near gunsmiths to see it's very important to me as a teacher to enter the debate this shouldn't be a straight ban but there should be a conversation with school girls who are searching for answers wearing a headscarf is of course a symbol that strengthens one's identity so to ask about such a personal decision i can only do this when there's trust and. sixth grade islam plus is supposed to inspire this pupils to critically analyze the religion to make room for open discussion and allow different interpretations of the koran. you also

have to think about how things were four hundred years ago and how things are today this is. not an easy task when it comes to the headscarf debate most children have taken on their parents attitudes oh. well i think the children should wear a headscarf from puberty from the idea of fourteen or fifteen so they don't get harassed or something. like. my sisters have also started wearing headscarves and i've seen them wearing them and i was the only one left so i said ok i'll put one until. these are religious traditions that have continued and of course they're also seen as traditions by their families. and their own absolutely seem that way by the mosques. to. them bocanegra is trying to get his pupils to question traditions for him school is

just the right place for it. in soccer by munich had won their first piece of silverware of the new season after beating frankfurt in the german super cup the reigning league champions were in unstoppable form eventually winning the game five nil the result made it a happy return for by anne's new coach nico kobayashi who won the german cup with frankfurt just a few months ago. nico kobayashi returned to his old stomping ground in frankfurt and he was feeling the love. but on the pitch he was looking to defeat his former club. that the star frankfurt brought physicality and looked ready for the match but buyer opened up the scoring in the twenty first minute the pass from yahshua can make set up robert levin dusky to haiti and gave byron an early lead. then things got a bit heated between marco fabienne and goes for eleven dollars to the pole gave

the perfect response again with the say five frankford goal keeper frederick grunow looked uncertain to neil buyer humbles was lucky not to get a red card for this foul and me that she novich. after the break byron took advantage again through that window speak he completed his hat trick time but biron weren't finished kings the komondor added another to pour salt in the eagles wounds was living and then tiago added a fifth goal to seal the game was nico botches new side demolished his old one they probably won't give him such a warm welcome next time the win is buyers seventh super cup victory. over more and buy as victoria leave the hotel from devious sports joins us here in

the studio hailing impressive stuff there from beyond what stood out in their performance for you oh strikeout rather than last year but the hat trick i mean we're well aware that he's been toying with the idea of wanting to leave beyond munich and you saw phases of that last season where you were like you know how his performances were not up to pod you know like you seem trust traded he didn't seem motivated we got to see one of these yet and this is when you koch comes along basically with his great people skills takes a very frustrated robert naiman dosti to this hype convinces him to stay convinces him of his importance and what do you get the gold rush in his back ramat even dusty's fact the only one thing. so a goal machine there for for munich but what about frankfurt is this kind of a bad omen for their season i'm not going to be so hot on frankfurt i mean this is a team in transition they lost around three to four of they keep a yes on top of that to buy a new name called match isn't just any coach i mean he played

a huge role in frankfurt success last season and then there's there's also the problem how some of his players like for example the world cup run up with croatia he has missed most of pre-season training so i mean let's be realistic it's going to take time for frankfurt to adopt adapt to id her to new system so they will have their work cut out the season ok looking ahead to the rest of the season fact looking all the way to the end that given what we've just seen from by and in all minister form is there any chance of any other team maybe. the championship they set the tone and it's a very dominant tone by an a by nature they syria win us i mean they have the consistency they have the depth i don't see them getting complacent and i hate to say this but i think the bundesliga title race is over before it even gets started . for and we hope that it will mix it up a bit on the course of the earlier did obvious for.
