the parliament building nicole understand police are treating this as a terrorist incident what more can you tell us. yes hi terry well metropolitan police metropolitan police here have issued a statement only a couple of minutes ago saying that the counterterrorism unit is leading the investigation and as you said that they are treating this as a terrorist and they have arrested a drive in his late twenty's at around seven forty in the morning seven forty ish this fake that arrested him at the same you could face in police custody at the south london police station and yeah he drove a still the ford fiesta into the security area business morning injuring a number of people. ok so you so it's a it's a male driver in his late twenty's you say what more do we know about him and what his possible intentions were. but police are being very tight lipped about the

intentions as the only thing we know at the moment is that it's being treated as a terrorist offense we know that he wore jeans and a black jacket that some witnesses said that it looked like he was driving the car into the people deliberately among them some cyclists and pedestrians and that only we know at the moment as you say a number of pedestrians were injured what can you tell us about that. well they treated two people right at the scene. police were called at seven thirty and then working within minutes they came in with free ambulance cars to treat this to people on the scene who have been brought into also the most in life threatening condition so that's the good news that they have been injured but we don't know how bad but it seems to be rather treatable ok i understand even talking to a number of people there on the streets what are witnesses saying i know there's also been a lot posted on social media. so i talked to run two to three people and. one

of them said it looks like this call went into the people who were on the streets deliberately. didn't look like it was out of control and they also said it was bad so the car they couldn't say what kind of competently i already have confirmed. and they will obviously are shocked to witness this same couldn't believe what they was being and so far i'm right now standing up between westman central falls a square which obviously is cordoned off and people still stopping by and they don't know what happened to news also like getting to the crowd very very slow release like all those clouds on the street ok we've got some information coming through on social media in fact stay with us nicole we've got a tweet from prime minister theresa may she's been reacting to the incident she wrote my thoughts are with those injured in the incident in westminster and my thanks go out to the emergency services for their immediate and courageous response

and there's also praise for the police it's been pouring out in all corners of the internet then in to ny witness tweeting absolutely astounded support and response by police within two minutes of impact they had everything under control yes. sadly we have to say london is getting used to these full time into them and battlefield it makes it possible for them to reckon a proper way in the last couple of years i have trained people and they're very quick on the scene within two minutes i have three and then the cia person car incident and also the terrorism incident and they searched the car very quickly but there were no weapons and have the care of the people on cordoned off everything but in no time nic olds just remind us that what happened there last year there was another terrorist attack. believe four people there people were killed tell us

again what happened. the last here that was i think the same time as this here. man drove into the security areas and got out of the car and actually stabbed a police officer to school people were killed on the scene that's a very similar incident which shocked the whole city of london. obviously like this police officer was also trying to protect the people and then she will be back in them kept. nicole thank you so much for now as t w correspondent cole reece there talking to us from london thank you. well as catch up on some business news now and turkey is very much under pressure in fact in the middle of massive diplomatic and economic turmoil and it's getting worse as we speak terry turkish president of egypt type of the one has warned his

country will boycott u.s. products in response to what he calls economic terrorism done by the u.s. he's referring to the trump administration doubling tariffs for turkish steel and aluminum the turkish lira appears to be pulling back from record lows after the central bank in turkey took emergency measures but rising prices are still hurting the turkish people. new stock at last for pharmacy owner bullet move to glue the relief among staff is palpable the leave us loss in value against the dollar has made some products like this medication to fight high blood pressure hard to come by. the first sign that something was wrong was that we were no longer getting this counts on large orders right now and our around one hundred types of medication you can no longer get the leader has plunged over the last few days leaving the people of turkey to watch in the spares their currency nosedives president recip type of add on holds the united states responsible for

his talk because of a trade war albeit one he says turkey will win the mood on the streets though is less defiant. on the ticket i need to finance my child's education i don't know how i'm supposed to manage my pension is worth one thousand five hundred lire that's around two hundred dollars. that tick tick tick tick we don't own any property we live from our pensions and increasingly we're asking ourselves if we're going to have to go hungry god help us. economist most of our sun mess things the government should step in immediately and increase interest rates. the country has to pay two hundred thirty billion dollars in foreign debt over the next two months. turkey won't be able to raise this much money with low interest rates if anyone at all wants to invest in such a fragile system right now in the end turkey will have to look for help from the

i.m.f. . check. meanwhile things could get worse for people who move to. this constant has been looking for an imported drug all morning he's been told it's not available because of the dollar exchange rate and here they can't help him either. the turkish president has just held a speech threatening as we mentioned to boycott u.s. products our correspondent dorian jones listened in dorian it's good to see you of course everyone is listening when adeline speech these days speaks these days what are the takeaways from the speech which struck. well as you said as a turkish president did announce measures of a point call taking us to electronic most articulate pick taylor we've had announcements to turkish national carrier turkish airlines they say that they are. accepting any ads from u.s.

companies and also we heard of giving a very defiant message saying that the turkish economy is still strong the only explanation for these dramatic falls in the currency is because of this economic warfare and any went on to try and paint a picture of a future prosperity promising by the hundredth anniversary of the republican twenty twenty three the conduct action probably will have doubled in size so he's trying to present a positive optimistic message going forward but also a clear message that they see ongoing conflict with the united states will continue bantered peronist to push back. the door and we know that most economists consider that very different measures have to be taken to solve this problem at all and somehow explain how these measures how a boycott is going to help ease the problems of the economy. well he did take steps a man painting a picture of how turkey will economic he resists against the united states and faces ongoing currency crisis he talked about the need for

a massive increase in exports if you like export all die he called on companies to expand production from just all attention on generating more exports which in itself of course will bring foreign currency into the country and then also we. talked about the news what he. meant by thirsty defuses products that they have a little negro in now this brings back memories of the one thing seventy's in one thousand six hundred molly was a funny little intoxication and that was a very difficult time for the country to slow growth on going over thanks to the now but will this be a different if it's going forward with this new again this return to the strategy is clear but as we had to be just right for it to push the high in the scene there is on going to the market for. the u.s. authorities diplomats those folks folks have failed to produce any progress that does indicate that the ankara you're looking for a way out of this a crisis of the world boxing or tons of economic policy going briefly if you can

when all added on have many followers so what we actually have you heard is this somehow comforting people well for now at least it does appear that the base is continuing to support one that is in part due to the fact that he doesn't roll completely the media in this country which is backing the president and also as we said it's because of the real effects of the dramatic decline in the currency have not yet that we're becoming the next weeks ahead with rapid price has been increased in price it's possible i do mean perfection but is there that impact we will see whether he can please continue to get the big support as he has a moment. last we've heard about this thank you very much store in jones in istanbul for the insight. business back to terry for use thanks we're going to just take a short look at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world today some of the stories we're following for you in india flash floods triggered by annual monsoon rains have left at least thirty nine people dead in the

southern state of carolla more than thirty thousand people have now been evacuated from villages and low lying areas heavy rains have ravaged farmlands are expected to continue for the next two days. an australian court has ordered a former catholic archbishop convicted of covering up child sex abuse to serve his one year sentence at home rather than in jail philip wilson the most senior catholic cleric to be convicted on such charges was spared jail time due to health problems and soul music legend aretha franklin is seriously ill and receiving care in a hospice the seventy six year old singer had cancelled planned concerts earlier this year due to health issues as after she announced last year that she would retire from performing. for mali and opposition candidates say says he will reject the results of a presidential runoff held on sunday he called on people to rise up against what he

called the dictatorship of fraud in mali votes are still being counted after a tense election that was marred by violence incumbent ibrahim boubacar keita is expected to win. the counting all the ballots could take days. but molly's newspaper is out already talking of the president's reelection. and not even the opposition is whiting for the fish or results candidate some mileage sissay has already rejected president abraham. is likely victory say alleges fraud and his quote on his supporters to mobilize mali will not be built on for old we will not accept that a million president be elected by for old. yet african union observers described a credible election process and many minds felt the democracy had been served.

and i even heard on the radio there were cases of stolen votes but you can't avoid that in a democracy you have to accept that there are opponents and people who are not even members of political parties who seek to destroy democracy. but others voiced concerns over security in the west african country is that what i don't like is that despite the presence of all these foreign forces mali qaeda hasn't managed to bring security to the country that is a shame really. in some regions violence mot the election process a poll worker was shot and killed in the northern region of timbuktu a haven for the islamist militants. and low voter turnout mark this runoff vote less than thirty percent of eligible voters costs a ballot. we're going to take

a closer look at that country today right now fishel say that over one hundred members of the security forces have been killed as they battle with the taliban for control of the city of god's name televen forces launched a surprise attack last friday all the city. which is just one hundred twenty kilometers from the capital kabul defense officials say some two hundred taliban fighters have been killed in the fighting hundreds of civilians have fled the city the u.s. is providing military support to afghan troops washington has denied reports that the city is on the verge of collapse. our correspondent son of the pages joins me now in the studio she spent years reporting from afghanistan knows the place well what are you hearing from your sources in gaza need today what's the latest on the ground where we see a fifth day of fighting we know that most people in the city are still without water electricity communication system and so it's really difficult to get

a clear picture of what's going on there because of conscious coal people so a lot of the information that we get from the ground is by those people fleeing and they have been reports of the district hospital being completely overwhelmed with corpses and with people wounded so we have no clear indication whether those are people in uniform or civilians and people who just really expressed a sense of disappointment because they said we have been warning government for weeks now but there was no you know a sending of reinforcements and now it really looked like government forces afghan national security forces were caught by surprise on friday and then once again needed the international help of especially american forces through air raids and also through boots on the ground so this is a major battle we're looking at there others also more violence going on in the country right now we're hearing of another attack on an army base in northern

afghanistan fighting cross country seems to have intensified briefly what's behind this surge where we've seen this before you know when everybody is focusing on one major incident like the one in the past now of course taliban use that when troops you know moved around the country to you know east situation there it opens up a new post somewhere else and now we have seen those two provinces in the north where major battle is going on and clearly what it shows is if we want to see the taliban at the negotiating table they want to dictate terms they want to be in a position of strength and what they're showing here is through a message piece of propaganda also that they are in a position of strength you. it's a very potent insurgency so very interesting we're going to come back to you in just a moment because i want to get your take on another story that we're looking at in afghanistan despite the violence that's been going on. government says that afghanistan is a safe country meaning that rejected asylum seekers can be sent back there and

that's the point each month groups who no longer have the right to stay here in germany are deported. one of the fortunes of one asylum seeker who was sent back seemed to disappear without a trace. had fled to germany from afghanistan after his request for asylum was rejected in twenty seventeen he was deported back to kabul. i cut my wrist i don't remember how but i remember the policeman saying if you want to kill yourself i'll try anything else will drug you and still put you on the plane to afghanistan. is one of over two hundred thirty afghans who were deported from germany on charter flights between december twenty sixth teen and me twenty eighteen german doctors had attested to the young man's severe depression and acute risk of suicide he had

no family or friends in kabul his only contact at the time was for who heads a relief organization for deportees. for a long time because of the support. from the network in germany and. he said. at some point to blurred photo appeared on social media. living on the street chums left afghanistan is he like so many other deportees already on his way back to europe. at the german foreign office issued a new report on the situation in afghanistan to provide a basis for reassessment of deportation for seizures the publication coincided with the first anniversary of the terrorist attack that killed and injured hundreds at

the german embassy in kabul germany had temporarily halted the deportation flights after the attacks the new report paints a disastrous picture of the situation in afghanistan but the deportation of afghans has been resumed it's a decision abdullah gul for can't understand given the frequency of attacks in kabul. but the recent one was on a police district thirteen which is this part of the right side of me so my perception of today's kabul is like. a war said it was like a year ago. but none of the afghans in this cafe wants to leave afghanistan even if everyone complains about the security situation. is a mary's he who is with her mother samira has just returned from canada where she was trained as a pilot. people all around the world beating that it's all about the war and fights and everything but it's not about that because we are humans we live like

other people around the world but we have cafes we have burst through we have we creating public gas and everything we have every right to fifteen minutes i mean they're very good i'll come back to again this i want to build my life here and i want to build afghanistan here. it's a different story for. he could not be traced for about two months then a message came from abdul gulf war who said he had contacted him. ahmadi wanted to go to iran for said but was arrested and deported the story of shams ahmadi shows that many asylum seekers deported from europe leave home again as soon as they get the chance. that our correspondence on the papers but is still with the son to germany is deporting afghans back to their country now what sort of conditions to they typically face when they get there whether it's

another flight out tonight we don't know how many will be on board once the land in kabul because that's where they all you know end up thirsty some might decide to stay there and try to make a living somewhat that's quite a few well you know try to get out of there as soon as they can because they had made that choice a long time ago we've seen just over the past few minutes that afghanistan may have some safe pockets but there's still a lot of fighting going on there how does the german government reach the conclusion that afghanistan is a safe place for afghans to return to how do they justify sending people back there against their will i think i see two main reasons number one justifying that many has to do with national politics in germany and not so much with the reality on the ground in afghanistan you know we're heading for state elections in bavaria the flight that eve so night will be from munich once again like the last one did it so you know that's a show for us to your own populist saying you don't like migration you don't like

asylum issues so you know we send people who are rejected to wait and on the other hand by allowing these people to stay you would also basically admit that the intervention that you are part of ever since it started in september two thousand and one is a failure so to thank you so much for your insides correspondent some of the peterson. in tennis former world number one andy murray. he has been ousted from the first round of the cincinnati open as he continues his comeback from hip surgery the brit is working to get back in top shape ahead of the u.s. open later this month murray did put up a good fight against after losing the first set to new cup week of friends in the white shirt he found his composure and battled hard to take the second set but we came up with some brilliant groundstrokes to win the match six one one six six four
