a new low against the dollars and fears grew that the crisis could spread to other markets the currency has nosedive this year over worries about president branch of tire to once increasing control over the economy and a diplomatic dispute between turkey and the united states. let's go to istanbul where our correspondent dorian jones is standing by with more on this story for us hi dorian good to see you so how confident are turkish people that the measures the government is taking today will actually stop the slide. well it depends who you speak to nearly everything in this country it is split more or less down the middle between supporters of the president and opponents if you speak to supporters they are confident they reflect the president's strong message that they believe the economy is strong this is nothing to do with financial and economic weaknesses but purely a war economic war being launched by washington but if you speak to opponents there is a lot anger at what they believe has been the mismanagement of the economy has put

turkey in this part carious position but if he's going to do recognize that there will be strong financial consequences because turkey is no stranger to currency crisis like this people will be aware that going forward there's going to be a surge of inflation will bring a recession. and a lot of paying for this country whichever side of the political you are all doing you mention describing rest between washington and uncle remind us you know why have relations deteriorated so much. of this is been like a slow motion train crash has been building up over several years it goes back to washington strong support of a syrian kurdish militia in its war against the islamic state. in the late show of being linked to an insurgency inside turkey which they consider an existential threat of terrorist organization being supported by a nato ally has caused a deep chasm of mistrust between these two countries on top of that you had the

failed coup in twenty sixteen where turkish minnesotan openly accused washington of being behind the coup attempt and those suspicions have deepened over the failure of washington that extradition request by uncle of the man who claims to be behind the coup attempt. islamic cleric there to lead good men and what has become the final focal point the breaking point as it were is turkey's ongoing to take charge of this american pastor andrew bronson who is accused of being linked to the coup attempt washington says he's a political hostage and that. refusal to let him go has been the breaking point in this relationship. during part of this chasm of mistrust as you called it is that turkey is indicating now they may try to develop closer economic ties with russia and move away from the west how far could it actually go. well that is the message coming from the turkish president but there are questions about whether moscow has deep enough pockets to bail turkey else turkey needs around two hundred

billion dollars in renewed and fresh loans every year to sustain the economy it's unlikely for sure the moscow can support that also looking to china but again china is very unlikely to be able to meet the financial demands that turkey needs only europe and the american financial markets can do that and that's tied to turkey meeting in best of the moment. and also possibly a reproach mom with washington d.c. is correspondent dorian jones reporting for us from istanbul durian thank you for your analysis. and we'll have more on that story for you in business coming up a little bit later in the show now to some other stories making headlines around the world hundreds of people have been injured five seriously after part of a wooden prominent collapse at a music festival in northern spain authorities say many people were on the boardwalk in the city of vigo when it gave way at around midnight on sunday none of the injuries is thought to be life threatening. human rights groups have called on

european governments to allow the aquarius rescue ship to dock and let one hundred forty migrants enter europe this after it leaves locked its ports to migrant ships and accuse the charities of colluding with human smugglers to run a migrant taxi service that encourages illegal immigration. north and south korea have agreed to hold a summit in pyongyang in september it will be the third meeting between the leaders of the rival countries this year the announcement came after officials held a fresh round of high level talks on monday morning the negotiations in the demilitarized zone between the two countries were proposed by the north last week its relations on the peninsula have been thawing further despite tensions between north korea and the south ally washington. let's get the latest on the story from seoul and josh smith the standing by a correspondent for reuters hi josh good to see you we don't have an exact date yet for the summit but what do we know about what will be on the agenda here. both

koreas have been trying to move forward on a number of issues north korea's likely to tout what it says have been goodwill gestures on its behalf stopping its weapons testing program and providing or returning the remains of u.s. troops who were killed during the korean war in return for some kind of easing of sanctions south korea meanwhile is likely to push north korea to make more concessions on its weapons program bring back something that it can bring to those allies in washington who are very skeptical of north korea these days just to mention this going to the third meeting between the two sides since april how significant are these talks now how deep is this stalled that we're seeing both koreas do seem very committed to peace maintaining this level of interaction which we haven't seen before this will be the first time a south korean president has met three times. at any point alone in one year with a north korean leader and so this meeting in pyongyang is definitely expected to

have a lot of pageantry a lot of symbolism a lot of. you know symbolism of korean unity trying to show some kind of progress even as some of the more concrete issues like nuclear is aging remain unsolved and just you know these internationals sanctions against north still exist how much are they getting in the way again between economic cooperation between the south and the north here. this is something that the north has increasingly complained about it said that it's made of measures taken steps to reduce tensions and that sanctions should be reduced accordingly however south korea has pushed for some diminished sanctions however in washington they say that they won't we do sanctions at all until there's major progress on the knees but there is a ship that's a bottom line here are we really any closer to seeing the denuclearization of north korea. it doesn't appear so i mean you can be optimists here

believe that that kind of process will take years if not decades and so that's something that u.s. officials are increasingly impatient about north korea does say that it is committed to eventually genial rising the korean peninsula one thousand data beyond what kind of time people will have to see. correspondent josh smith speaking to us from seoul josh thank you very much. a fire at a hospital in taiwan has killed at least nine people another thirty are injured and investigation has been launched into the cause of the blaze the fire broke out on the seventh floor of the building which was used for hospice care. it was a ward for critically ill patients many were bedridden they couldn't move when the blaze broke out hospital staff tried to remove them but for some help came too late . hospital officials say the victims included not just patients but also nurses and

caregivers. first responders raced against the clock to save those injured in the blaze nearly twenty remain in critical condition. the fire started early in the morning on the seventh floor of a public hospital in the taiwanese capital firefighters were able to contain and extinguish the blaze within an hour but its effects were still devastating. still sassoon fourteen victims were experiencing cardiac arrest five are unconscious and four are awake the other hospitals are now giving emergency treatment to those experiencing heart attacks. it's still unclear what caused the fire but firefighters say they suspect it could have been triggered by an electrical fault. right now an investigation continues into the blaze and many patients who are already gravely sick are now fighting for their lives. not to the u.s. where a white supremacist rally in washington d.c.

fizzled out on sunday after only a handful of neo nazis showed up the supremacists were massively outnumbered by hundreds of counter protesters the rally was held on the first anniversary of a demonstration in charlottesville virginia or one woman was killed. i think hundreds of people marching through washington to condemn racial hatred the year after 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 yet 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 with this empowerment of people who think that their copper isn't confort zone we see that people's rights is the way out of line and because of

a stance on is a really big unless. the group of 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. in the east side but be sure. to use the little. street the 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 to confederate general robert c. late the rally ten violent as protesters clashed with counts of protest this

combination the death of head the higher it was killed when a man for a for his car into a crowd was. back in washington a downpour brought an end to a day of remembrance and protest without any violence. our correspondent my schwager was at the demonstrations in washington here's her take on how the protests unfolded. in washington d.c. there were far more counter protesters who converge 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. are there reporting in washington now cubans are starting a debate on

a new draft constitution today for the next four months people are being invited to voice their opinion on the document at hundreds of public events on the island a vote just be taken in february of next year the new constitution would be for the first time recognize the role of the market and the private sector many welcome the changes but some worry it could spell the end of communism in cuba. cuban hotel owner julio roquet 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 challenges of the night. and 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 and. the national assembly as adoption of

a draft constitution followed hated debate some lawmakers expressed concern that the changes could effectively mean the end of communism julio feels insulted by some of what traditionalists 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 input in the one hundred ten or talent and skill matters to me when people said it's a demeaning role they were degrading our country. to him what i said in. 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. typically when 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 mining and i live in a commitment to the state ok ok the private sector should be recognised the companies like cooperatives are more in line with our system which is socialism this is. a head of the referendum the people of cuba will be able to have they say on the draft constitution. or tele houllier ok is planning to attend bites to propose his own ideas on what should happen next. in. the input individual enrichment always brings about a collective irish right. through taxation i'm going to 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 divide over the country's future. few issues are as controversial here in germany as the wearing of the headscarf by some was on women critics say it is a sign of oppression by men supporters say in a democracy people should be allowed to dress as they please the debate is coming to a head in the region of north rhine-westphalia the local government there is considering banning the headscarf for girls under the age of fourteen as starbuck found out emotions are running high. and three classmates three muslim girls so he there has been wearing a headscarf since she was ten it bothers her that some politicians want to forbid girls from doing so. well right because this time only twelve minutes 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 of. integration minister says that younger than fourteen is too young and he's thinking about banning it for. me it's very important to us we want women who voluntarily decide to wear a headscarf to be accorded full respect for society this is nothing to do with marginalization but we do not want young girls to be forced into it behaved because . most school girls here at elizabeth comprehensive school in bonn say they were the headscarf voluntarily. and. almost all of the students here are muslim but only very few of them actually very 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. meir gunsmiths that's the 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 schoolgirls who are searching for ounces wearing a headscarf ease of course a symbol that strengthens one's identity so to ask about such a personal decision i can only do this when is trust and one would wish for top six great islam plus supposed to inspired his 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 fourteen 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 it just makes me sad 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 on t.v. so. these are religious traditions that have continued and of course there are also seen as traditions by their families. and their own absolutely seen 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. to sports now and in soccer byron munich have won their first piece of silverware of the new

season after beating frankfurt in the german super cup the reigning league champs were in unstoppable form eventually winning the game five nil the result made it a happy return for byron's new coach who won the german cup with frank for 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 biron opened up the scoring in the twenty first minute the pass from yahshua kimock set up robert levin dosti to haiti and gave biron in early i've. been things got a bit heated between marco fabini and goalscorer eleven dogs he told gave the perfect response again with these he was great for goalkeeper frederick grunow looked uncertain to neil buyer hummels was lucky not to get a red card for this foul on me got cheated bitch. after the break byron took

advantage again through that window ski who completed his hat trick the of but biron weren't finished kingsley komang added another to pour salt in the eagles' mood civil m and then tiago added a fifth goal to seal the game was the coco botches new side of mali's his old one they probably won't give him such a warm welcome next time though when is byron's seven super cup victory. right having us here with business and back to our top story how have your turkeys economies increasingly under pressure that's right and is worrying the markets of course to me watching the turkish lira very closely this monday and today's trading session the turkish turns he has recovered slightly after a twenty percent drop on friday but it's still moving your all time low speed at

the same time the government is announcing a plan to stop the freefall and reassuring investors that the economy is robust but a several issues are hitting the turkish economy simultaneously solutions will be very difficult to implement. markets have been waiting for turkey's central bank to take action and finally it has announced how it plans to help banks weather the ongoing crisis its proposals include providing banks with a cash flow they need and enabling them to borrow foreign currency for a month but some experts say those measures won't solve the biggest problem inflation the turkish value has tumbled to record lows against the dollar and that's due in part to the fact that the central bank has not raised rates leading some to question its commitment to tackling the leroy's tumbling value and the country's economic woes could have ripple effects beyond turkey to the european central bank is concerned about e.u. banks being exposed to turkish debt spanish banks are the most vulnerable having

lent a total of eighty billion dollars to turkish borrowers and turkish companies are concerned they won't be able to meet their debt commitments to foreign investors on monday new higher tariffs on turkish steel and aluminum imports to the u.s. went into effect they could deal a devastating blow to the economy investors and now seriously questioning whether the country can free itself from what is turning into a major crisis. there's of course doesn't sound that well let's bring in our financial correspondent in frankfurt all of it bad has been following the story for us only it's good to see you well european markets opened in the red this morning you told us about it and it seems like it's not getting any better. that's true and when you look at some banking shares it's getting worse not all are really losing heavily but if you look at the first five losers in the euro stocks fifty three banks are among those i and j deutsche bank and also. and unicredit in the

land is also losing heavily and so are all the basic market parameters that you have the dax here in germany is down. in france and u.k. and in switzerland the indices are down and having said that it's not quite as much damage as on friday it's far from it investors therefore are not panicking but they are worried and the banking shares are central banks are central to an economy and it's not to be ruled out the banks may get in trouble over their business in turkey at this present time and that depends on how everything is going to develop now we know that the government in turkey wants to tackle the problem the central bank saying they are ready to take all necessary measures why isn't that called investors. because the central bank is not ready to take all necessary measures that's the estimate that's the opinion that's the evaluation of the people here in

the market the only remedy that the people now want to see is one that shows that the central bank is independent of turkey's president everyone and that is a rate hike and not just a rate hike but a major rate hike and i would suppose the verbal either support that it's not to be the major rate hike or the last one but that there would be more to follow in order to bring down inflation in order to prop up the currency anything less is not going to convince the people here is going to sustain nervousness in the market will keep that story very closely with you thank you very much in frankfurt. and we're going to stay at the frankfurt stock exchange taking a closer look at the sessions biggest loser so far. that's german chemical giant buyer shares have plunged to ten percent on today's trading session this follows a decision by a us court it's not forget after a groundskeeper successfully sued monsanto a company in the u.s.

that buyer recently acquired dwayne johnson who suffers from lymphoma claims his cancer could have been caused by his contact with one santos roundup weed killer the jury agreed ruling that monsanto should have warned by others that the product could cost cancer and ordering the company to pay two hundred eighty nine million dollars in damages to johnson observers believe thousands more similar claims could follow buyer which is planning to shed and one santo brand when the takeover is complete says the court's decision goes against scientific evidence. there watching d.w. news from berlin more coming at the top of the hour and don't forget you can get all the latest news and information around the clock on our web site that's v.w. dot com thank you very much for joining us this week son back. to.
