a one insists that the situation will be eased global investors are worried the president has suggested over the weekend that if the u.s. persists with sanctions and tariffs that it might seek alliances elsewhere we know that. russian president vladimir putin spoke over the weekend so i think that's probably what's troubling investors because at the moment we seem to be in a very much in a risk mood. as turkey seeks to emerge from the crisis it has also moved to take legal action against what he calls economic terrorists or thors he's accused hundreds of social media accounts of. looking the karen sisco by posting this leading information they say he won't back down on what they call an economic war. or today after country of mali now where presidential challenger somalis to say

critics say it is a sign of oppression by men supporters say in a democracy people should be allowed to dress as they please well the debate is coming to a head in the german state of north rhine-westphalia the local government there is considering banning the headscarf for girls under the age of fourteen. and shine three classmates three muslim girls so he that has been wearing a headscarf since she was ten it bothers her that some politicians want to forbid girls from doing so. well on our screens 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 if 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 no point

with various integration minister says that younger than fourteen is too young and he's thinking about banning it. i mean 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's elbert 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 jobs 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. against mystic at sea 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 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 here one would wish for tone sixth grade islam plus is supposed to inspired this peoples 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 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 it's. a party these are religious traditions that have continued and of course they're also seen as traditions by their families. and their own absolutely seen that way by the mosques. are often more. than about. them both commish is trying to get his pupils to question traditions for him school is just the right place for it. well. the fifty seventh anniversary of the construction of the berlin wall communist east germany began to build the wall in the early morning on august thirteenth one thousand nine hundred sixty one for twenty eight years the wall divided berlin to prevent east germans from fleeing to the west today most of it has been removed but now a forgotten section has been discovered on
