days pilgrims will perform a number of rituals including climbing mount arafat and the symbolic stoning of the devil as one of the world's biggest gatherings. a turkish court has lifted a travel ban on the german journalist misawa tolu she was arrested and held last year after being accused of being a member of a terrorist group. she had already been released from custody but wasn't allowed to leave the country until now. the newly elected pakistani prime minister imran khan has announced that the government will begin an austerity drive to tackle the country's debt in his mavin t.v. speech after becoming pm khan also promised to introduce an islamic welfare system to reduce poverty. the new york times says that the actress and need to campaign or asia are gentle paid money to settle a sexual assault claim her alleged victim said that she assaulted him in a hotel room in two thousand and thirteen he was seventeen at the time argento

spoke out for victims of sexual abuse after accusing disgraced producer harvey weinstein of rape last year. of dozens of elderly south koreans have crossed the border for a long awaited reunion with family members in the north a convoy of buses made the crossing earlier for the first reunions in three years they bring together families who were divided after the korean war in the one nine hundred fifty s. some haven't seen their relatives since the end of that conflict their unions were agreed by the two koreas after a historic summit back in april part of the recent thaw in relations between the two countries. of course over now to josh smith he is a reuters correspondent in the south korean capital seoul welcome to you josh how exactly are these reunions playing out. so the koreans from both sides who will be involved in this have about three days meetings. with

which to reacquaint themselves with their relatives during those three days however they will only have about eleven hours total of several rounds of meetings face to face with their relatives people who we spoke to who have participated in the past described obviously a wide range of emotion obviously a lot of excitement but also worry sometimes awkward encounters with people who they may have not seen since they were small children and then of course there's the additional trauma of walking away from those meetings not knowing if you will ever see them as people again and these are unions they're part of the fall between relations between the two koreas what is the state of affairs in this process as you mentioned this is something the two sides have agreed on as part of a broader effort to achieve enter korean reconciliation and reduce tensions this was something that ended up being back in two thousand and fifteen.

broader political disputes between the two sides and so this comes as both sides are trying to increase cooperation not only on the three unions but things off like potential economic projects a lot of cultural and sports programs and some political and military liaison efforts as well so given all of those efforts that you just highlighted can we expect family reunions more of them on a regular basis in the future. that is something that south korean president kim dae and has explicitly called for he hopes that this will become a regular occurrence and of course all of these families are also hoping for more regular contact with their relatives that of course does depend on continued good relations between both sides and so as we move forward this will be something certainly that the families involved will be watching very closely josh smith in

. and in tennis former world number one novak djokovic became of the first player to win all of nine masters one thousand tournament's with victory over roger federer in cincinnati the thirty one year old sir beat federer six four six four wimbledon champion djokovic how the loss the sense in that the final to the swiss on three previous occasions. their time is a charm now it's over to monica jones and it looks like greece is out of the woods this time is no longer running out for greece at least it looks that way sarah a major milestone there as the country greece emerges the last of three bailout programs today for the past eight years athens have been dependent on aid from the european union the european central bank and the international monetary fund the loans given to greece amounted to two hundred sixty billion euros and in return greece had to implement painful austerity measures and reforms well now the time

has come for greece to finance itself independently on the capital markets again the towel realistic is that. finally back on their feet financially no more cash injections or bailout funds that's the greek government goal after all the economy has been growing since last year mainly due to greek exports big gaining ground last year greece exported goods worth twenty eight point nine billion euros exports have risen by thirty five and a half percent since twenty ten but the lion's share is in refined petroleum products a worrying concentration experts say greece itself has no domestic oil reserves it only process is imports and then exports them small businesses are also important to the greek economy but they hardly make any money many banks are still sitting on bad loans and investors still don't trust the upswing they're also shying away from

greece's high taxes and labor costs are well below the e.u. average wages and taxes have risen sharply in greece since two thousand they were at a high point when the crisis really hear it in twenty ten then they sank again they've picked up again since last year making greece less attractive for companies in the domestic economy greeks need to earn more money and spend more of it again almost one in five are still unemployed greece or. suffered through economic austerity now the country needs to start its recovery. and for more on this major milestone for greece today let's rope in our correspondents and he cassava in athens and in brussels good to have both of you on the show i would like to start with you anti because obviously big day for greece today question is are people there in the mood to celebrate the end of the bailout program well as you said it is a momentous moment here for greece but there is no one here celebrating because

there is continued hardship in store for these people. and this because while the numbers have started to look good while the macro indicators are looking much better for this economy it still remains weak and this in these in this upbeat in this improvement has yet to trickle down to the really come to me and to the purses of the greek people and this unless the unless investments kick in and jobs are created this misery will continue to linger on don't forget we're dealing here with exhausting years of austerity that shrunk incomes by thirty percent one in three businesses have have gone bankrupt and more than a million people remain unemployed all right some mixed feelings there in brussels mixed feelings or it in absence what about the mood in brussels then. the mood to

in brussels is relatively upbeat because in a sense of course the european union thinks this is a sort of victory if we look back to two thousand and fifteen the euro and the whole euro area was in a serious wobble the greek crisis was not just a blip on the arising it was a really deep conflict within the eurozone and so you know things ok we avoided the worst be avoided for instance a grex and that was something that was being talked about in two fifteen and so now it everybody knows this is a compromise everybody knows things could have been dealt was better over those eight years of bailouts and of course the e.u. things of succession of greek governments who are supposed to have made a lot of mistakes but still now we're at the point we're at and there is a sliver of hope and of course brussels talks up the success and says yes greek movie and we hope they will be capable to stand on their own feet economically so

just very briefly there how reliable is absence now because they're tempted figures in order to join the euro in the first place of course everybody remembers remembers that a lot of creative bookkeeping however now they said see for us government has shown itself to be quite a reliable partner after the initial problems and everybody hopes that the elections next year up if may be the same or another government that will also be reliable and everything hinges on that greece has to stay on course that's what the european union says and cannot leave reforms all right. last question to you of course first of all is grex it really off the table and what does the government in athens have to do in order to keep it that way and keep greeks happy within the euro. well any and every economist i've been speaking to says that that prospect of greg is off the table at least for now but the baby out exit

greece comes at a very precarious moment there is a turkey that's facing a financial meltdown italy's economy isn't doing well and brags it is on the charts so don't forget greece is still a very weak economy and that's why you have a lot of economists here even the central bank governor saying that greece should not lead on its reforms that yes it has gone through in his reach this important milestone but any. any any showing any semblance of letting up on its reforms may invite a new crisis all right auntie carrousel over there in athens about that obviously in brussels thank you so much to both of you. and to asia now where markets have risen on optimism that reported u.s. china talks this week could ease the trade disputes between the world's two biggest economies the two countries are holding talks on tuesday and on wednesday that aim

to end the conflict before us president donald trump and chinese president xi jinping meet in november according to media reports investors are also holding out hope that the negotiations could head off further u.s. tariffs on sixteen billion dollars worth of chinese goods due to take effect on thursday china has already said it would respond in kind that is a reminder of the top stories we're following for you. brazil's president has deployed troops to a border town which the clashes between venezuelan migrants on the local population more than a thousand venezuelan migrants were forced to flee back across the border. and dozens of elderly south koreans have travelled by bus across the border to meet with their family members in the north a reunion sweat arranged by the two korean leaders at a summit in a cruel us part of a recent fall in renovations and watching the news come july from berlin more coming up at the top of the aleksey event.
