help this after pope francis apologizes for the sexual abuse scandals rocking the catholic church and choice or duty sweden has reintroduced compulsory military service for high school graduates the move has ignited a debate over whether germany should follow suit. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program in just a few hours venezuelans will have the first indication that as to whether a new currency will pull the economy back from the brink on monday president nicolas maduro declared a national holiday to roll out the sovereign those of the new bills with five fewer zeros is part of the government's plan to tame soaring inflation today will be the big test as banks and businesses reopen economy. sworn that the government's latest

efforts to right the economy could make things worse. they got their money now for venezuelans it's time to wait and see stores and banks remain close on monday as the new sovereign boulevard was rolled out missing five zeros compared to the old currency president maduro declared a national holiday to help ease the transition. the bank systems are totally operational in the case of a.t.m.'s which is now our responsibility we're in the process of stocking them with the new bills. but many store owners still feel my daughter's gambit including a three thousand percent increase in the minimum wage could bring fresh hardship. i quickly crunch the numbers forty five million old believe on his weekly perm ploy. then are you going to go buy your produce and it suddenly really expensive so how do you manage we're going to have to fire employees what else can we do. experts

warn the wage hike combined with higher fuel prices could backfire. if this is poorly executed in the end it could trigger tremendous economic contraction layoffs and a much more limited supply of goods. and those fears seem to be shared by the over two million venezuelans streaming over neighboring borders despite fresh travel restrictions in ecuador in peru and violence in brazil they push on determined to find a better life for themselves elsewhere in south america. let's get more now joining us from the venezuelan capital caracas is journalist osgar shankar thank you so much for joining us oscar this is really a radical plan here to try and curb hyper inflation we have a new currency being rolled out the minimum wage being raised how high are the hopes that this will actually help save venice well as economy. whoa whoa slow mo here as well are not that high but the government wants to make their supporters

believe that they know what they're doing and to understand what the government wants analysts just to look at these measures as political rather than to solve an economic crisis with a rising discontent even among former supporters political control over the private sector and society seems to be what is on the agenda for moto now there has been little information on the details of many of the measures mother announced and this is created a lot of confusion in the streets from experience now we know that chevy small thrives on chaos and with the country at the brink of collapse creating chaos could be the key for my daughter to stay in power let's talk a little bit more about that chaos because in the wake of it i mean we see many people trying to flee the country it appears you know venezuelans are continuing to do so bring us up to date on that front when those walls have been fleeing for years now at

a rapid pace this has never bothered the government many government leaders have said as whaler is better off without those who left and looted just this we call them as well migrants beggars and slaves so there is no real interest in plans to keep people in british well but there might be plans to have more control over those that are still here and that is what many people are fearing so there might even be a rapid increase in immigrants leaving the us where that in the coming months is going to what is the mood on the streets because we're hearing that supporters of president does reforms they've organized marches throughout the country today but on the other side we have the opposition calling for nationwide strikes and protests how high are the tensions on the streets right now. well tensions have been on the rise for a while now we have registered an increase in protests this year compared to last year that left over a hundred dead and thousands in prison the difference is that protests in two thousand and eighteen are smaller and are targeted towards medicine shortages

energy and water supply crisis rather than politically and it includes of course supporters and opposition away so if the opposition leaders are successful in channeling just discontent once again into a united front through large protests then we can see tensions escalating but with a large part of the population fleeing and another part fearful of change into the streets it might be difficult for the opposition to unite against. oscar schrenker with the very latest from the venice spend the capital caracas thank you. words alone hard not enough that is the reaction from many survivors and law enforcement officials to pope francis is letter condemning sexual abuse by priests there calling for an end to church protection for sexual predators the pontiff move follows a far reaching us report that found hundreds of clarity member sexually abused at least eight thousand children over second seven decades while others turned

a blind eye. a crime long ignored kept quiet or silenced in the pope's unprecedented letter to the world's one point two billion practicing catholics he addressed the issue of sexual abuse at the hands of the clergy francis responded to to last week's us grand jury report which finds systematic cover ups in the state of pennsylvania the holy father understands how much these crimes can shake the faith and the spirit of believers. survivors and victims should know that the pope is on their side he wants the church to listen to them so that we can root out this tragic horror which has destroyed the lives of so many innocent people. the pontiff letter comes ahead of a trip to ireland where the last papal visit was by john paul the second nearly forty years ago the church's credibility there has been devastated by years of

revelations that priests raped and molested children acts hidden all the while by their superiors. mark vincent healy an abuse survivor absorbing the pope's letter is critical. because two thousand words are just too much. really have very little meaning or content to the idea that sort of bring about the end of child sexual abuse for example even within the clergy were does it get this from i mean we are aware. yes ongoing we are aware in the developing countries that there are still suffering from sort of like a lack of spotlight. helium it pope francis four years ago as a rule the pontiff tends not to share meetings with abuse survivors in advance of his trips skeptics in ireland see any meetings this time around would be tokenistic . the most terrible place in the world those are the words of germany's foreign

minister hi. on a visit to auschwitz the nazi death camp in poland on the first visit by a german foreign minister in twenty six years mosse wrote this following statement in the visitor's book it was a german creation by the name of auschwitz we need this place because our responsibility never ends here is more about a solemn reckoning more than one point one million people were killed here most of them jews it's been described by many as hell on earth among those the german foreign minister michael must. keep a to visit to auschwitz on what is his second visit to poland since taking office earlier this year. introduced us i know it's this is a place of remembrance that reminds us germans above all what we did to millions of

others. we need this place because our responsibility never ends. earlier this year most claimed he entered politics because of what happened in auschwitz saying the memory of the atrocities must be kept alive for the next generations. later moss met his polish counterpart chopper told reach despite demands by polish officials for germany to pay hundreds of billions of euros in world war two reparations the issue was firmly kept off the agenda. the focus of the meeting between the two bush centered on strengthening ties between the two neighboring countries. and let's get a quick check now of some other stories that have been making news around the world afghanistan says that the taliban have fired rockets into the capital kabul jarring a speech by the president. smoke could be seen rising above the city's diplomatic

stand today but sweden's defense minister argues that the annexation of crimea by russia has made conscription necessary here's a look at what the recruits think about the duty of service. these young people are undergoing military training in sweden's force they're being put into shape to defend their country. this year sweden introduced conscription lasting eleven months for every high school graduate and that means both young men and women. for me it's a matter of course it gives me something and i probably would have done it voluntarily. i mean for me my family and friends think i should stay in it's most believe it will become my profession i'm not so sure myself but i really enjoy it. this year only about four percent of graduates and four thousand other

young people will be involved in. the swedish government has reintroduced the draft mainly for defense reasons. when russia annexed crimea when we have conflicts in ukraine and the military presence and activities at our doorstep in the baltic sea we have to make our army ready. and that's why we need general military conscription. in militarily neutral sweden a return to conscription is taken rather lightly it must be. a true i don't believe in a professional army everyone should be involved because i did military service years ago and sounded good oh you know i'm almost a fish but you have to defend your country i think it's good that girls and boys learn something before they take on further study thing and i various today. besides learning how to use weapons the young people also learn things they may not have learned at home. so let's go right to them we teach them how to make their

beds and how to take care of each other the national so that's very different from today's culture discipline so here we are into vigils where a group. and the group is set to get larger regions army aims to increase the number it calls up in the near future. so that's the situation in sweden but in germany the debate over mandatory military service has been reignited recently germany suspended conscription back in two thousand and eleven and a key figure involved in that decision was the free democrat marie agnes struck simone at the time to free democrats were part of america's coalition government she tells v w what was behind the move you know there were good reasons why we did it first that only twenty per cent of young people went to army but the main thing is they went to the army for six months and you know you can train people for six months even if you have a really good job to do and we need

a professional army this is very important for us and if you know it today we would do it again. and that was mary agnes trucks a man of the free democrats who are today part of germany's opposition. in other news one of the world's most awaited the vents in the music world the m.t.v. video music awards took place in new york city on monday night the cuban born singer company a cut band though it was one of the biggest winners of the night taking home the fourth of the top prizes video of the year and artist of the year some of the year went to post malone while ariana grande day one the best pop award before performing her new track god is a woman. the

reservations about the use of video games as a teaching tool but as the students and principal at this particular school see it the sports are an enrichment to the curriculum. this is a scene that's the million to millions few who look at these pictures will be reminded of their time in school. but video games have found their way into the classroom at this high school in jakarta with the blessing of the teachers. the students are offered up to twenty hours of competitive gaming a week coached by a special tutor it's perhaps no surprise that principal yohannes is a keen gamer himself but it's not just for fun he sees e-sports as a useful learning tool. in terms of academic skills students can learn about math economics group interaction and communication from east sports in our school we've decided to have a nice ports program because of its educational value. the students don't spend all

suggestions that germany should offer aid to turkey and it's one thing economy and the idea was brought up a leading german politician who said. economic stability in turkey was in everyone's interest well right now turkey is anything but stable the lira has lost half its value this year while inflation and the unemployment rate are increasing critics say the country's president type and a one once the face of the prospering turkish economy is now keeping the country from overcoming the current crisis. whether it's a bridge over the bosphorus in istanbul subway system or an imposing mosque he's president richard no one is known for his big ambitions. the country's construction sector has traditionally been an engine of economic growth. but recent events have put the brakes on turkey's economy turkish banks and companies have accumulated

four hundred seventy billion dollars of foreign debt and as the lira plummets it's getting ever harder to repay the loans analysts say interest rates need to be raised to offset the liras rapid decline they want the central bank to act independently of the government and believe the country should accept help from the international monetary fund something out of one has ruled out it could only zero six although there is no difference between the direct attacks on our call to prayer and our flag and the attack on our economy the goal is the same the goal is to bring to heel turkey and the turkish nation to hold a captive we are a nation that prefers to be shot in the neck rather than chained by the neck. that doesn't interest the ratings agencies they're downgrading turkey ever further making it harder for the country to raise new money independent observers say the economy's biggest problem is the president himself they are predicting

a hard landing for ancora at the moment only rising prices are affecting people but soon a wave of bankruptcies could roll across the country plunging many families into poverty. so who or what could pull turkey out of the economic crisis that's asked and a professor of economics at the constance university of applied science here in germany good to have you with us so i mentioned earlier german politicians are talking about financial aid for turkey even though the chancellor angela merkel said that that's not an option what do you think well it's a good news that europe's biggest economy shows political willingness to support the country but at the same time it would be a really bad idea to make direct payments in order to support turkish economy i mean turkey's problem is not liquidity problem there are structural problems inflation is too high the interest rates are off the central bank are too low

emergent germany makes a payment of fifteen billion but the structural problems are no tackled such a policy would actually in danger of the improving relations between germany and turkey so it's a good idea by the chancellor to say no we are will to support you but we're not going to make direct payments so you say you're talking about the structural problem problems in turkey i mean there's there's of course this other possibility that turkey asked the i.m.f. what help or the key races interest rates both add one rules out is that a mistake. yes it is from an economic part and a few a mistake because turkey has an overheated because of me and there are indicators here and there many uncertain things in an economy but we know. that inflation is too high and one fission way would be to raise the interest rates and at the same time a crisis a debt crisis like that turkey has

a different momentum. a depreciation currency is attracting also currency attacks by hatch for the currency is put more on the pressure meaning there must be a big institution that is preventing in the short period in the short time such attacks and the i.m.f. would be very helpful but one should also know that the item is going to dictate policy and domestic politicians don't like it so until the pain is not big enough my fear is that there will be no no corporation with i.m.f. right well that's a pretty dim outlook there for turkey and johnson professor of economics at the constand university of applied sciences thank you so much thank you now the united states and china are preparing to meet in washington this week to discuss the ongoing trade dispute but even without a this extra worry china is beginning to lose its appeal at least for manufacturers
