this is deja news coming to you live from berlin turkey's president raises the stakes in this showdown with the united states the president says his country's financial system is under attack by the central bank and promises to do when it can to stabilize of the euro but it's unclear if the measures will be enough to stop the slide also coming up. edging towards peace in the world in south korea agreed to hold another summit for the glorious remain of the nuclear standoff between the north and the u.s. . and nine people are dead another thirty injured after a fire sweeps through

a window possibly in taipei patel mentally ill patients authorities want to know how the blaze started and why it took the hospital so long to alert the fire department. of a warm welcome to you i'm. turkey central bank says it's ready to take all necessary measures to shore up the country's currency the announcement comes off to the leader to a new low against the don't see rate return to a reasonable level. joining me now in the studio is belied by he's an analyst at the think to and the global public policy institute welcome bill and first. if you don't have to say he's going to reassure the citizens of to again your assessment how serious is the situation the situation is

quite serious it's it's kind of shocking because believe our last. value against the dollar against the euro of around thirty five to forty percent that is enormous and from the beginning of this year imagine if you are a businessman in turkey and you have. a loan you have to pay almost double back that is a serious question also for our drawn because his strength was always the economy and now it's a weak point for him and one reason for just a consequence of course is the dispute between the united states and and keith and this huge debate don't have gone so far as to say i mistimed looking for other allies and i'm just thinking might mean russia how likely is that well there's a risk turkey is already shifting towards russia in terms of values is shifting towards russia in terms of syria policy but to be honest syria is not the real alternative for turkey. looking from an economy point of view.

russia is not the alternative in terms of security post politics because russia is not a reliable and resistant or resilient part of pataki. so this is what turkey would remain like within the western institutional architecture but as we all know the shiftings to from one pole to another happen gradually so there is the risk maybe of the purchase of the s four hundred. s. them my instruments was that good you don't have to be using very strong lent language when talking about nato he's talked about being stabbed in the back my used to teach it and that. he's talked about the country being under economic siege and he's talked about you know economic tetra on social media against his country how why did should need to be about such comments and. as reliable

need to ally well there are two reasons why our dawn is doing that the first reason is by portraying an enemy from outside he is shifting the responsibility from his misguided and failed colonic of fiscal politics and policies to war in the exterior dynamic. also he knows that rebelling and protesting against the west particularly against the united states gives him political credibility gives him support from his voters that's the reason so he wants the turkish people to unite in these difficult times. how difficult. how serious is that problem. set turkey perceives as the current debate or the current crisis not as a crisis within nato but as a bilateral one with the united states. which is far more

a conflict which is far more risky is the conflict in syria but if you sense isn't he playing with fire he's prepared to sacrifice his big international relations for domestic policy goals while he is doing the classic brinkmanship so going towards the outer and stressing the relationship as much as possible but he knows that how valuable these there was the relation to the west of for turkey that is why he is still loyal to the e.u. migration deal with would be european nations so he tries kind of to balance out to to shift the responsibility but still be loyal to. the old. and out of this with the deal that public policy institute thank you very much thank you. let me bring you up to date but some other stories making news around the world wildfires raging on the greek island of have forced evacuation of two villages and

. 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 place within an hour but its effects were devastating. sounds as though it wasn't on the monday to me it was unfortunate that the ward stalled was open when the fire broke out. as a result the smoke came inside. up and since the whole sort of song there are many mattresses made from polly your thing so the fine spread very fast and was relatively large as a result. the country's premier expressed his condolences. the fire broke out at the ministry of health and well first time pay hospital and caused many deaths and injuries. i would like to apologize to patients family members and to society on behalf of the executive. also for me even as i

think without those affected. it's still unclear what caused the fire but firefighters say they suspect it could have been triggered by an electrical fault there had been nine hospital fires in taiwan in the past decade claiming thirty seven lives right now an investigation continues into the blaze and many patients who were already gravely sick are now fighting for their lives. turning out to mali where vote counting is underway in a presidential drawn off after a tense election that was mobbed by violence a time to see a poll worker was killed by extremists in the north of the country and the threat of violence kept tellin out yo incumbent. is expected to win the vote the result is to you later this week. string checks at polling stations security measures were once again stepped up for mali's presidential election runoff voters chose between the incumbent president even him. and
