a moving situation and the afghan police for their part they're saying that the rockets were fired by the taliban but can we confirm that at this hour has anyone claimed responsibility. well you have your own guns for hire them because all of these military whatever happens in afghanistan and then. claim responsibility for it goes. down the. prism of donnie darko course it is done by the taliban because. they. are kind of lent the money. that they have gained ground in afghanistan and of course even to say that. it is stake in terms of negotiation. on government or the kind of long presented any. welcome for some people but international community. on the ground so they didn't

want what presented on the colored. the only way to fight the taliban. they believe the taliban while. for the young. people that it's a good example or fall in the north will become an example come on in the north as an example. you know at least thirty six or thirty. years ago here could very independent journalist joining us from kabul where as we mentioned afghan security forces at this hour fighting militants after rockets were fired during a speech by the president here thank you so much for bringing us up to date. thank you. now in just a few hours venezuelans will have the first indication 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 are new bills with five fewer zeros it's part of the government's plan to tame soaring inflation today will be the big test as banks and businesses reopen a condom a sworn that the government's latest efforts to write the economy could make things worse. they've got their money now for these venezuelans it's time to wait and see stores and banks remained closed on monday as the new sovereign bonneville was rolled out with five few as heroes compared to the former currency president migiro declared a national holiday to help ease the transition. to the bank systems are totally operational in the case of a.t.m.'s which is no our responsibility we're in the process of stocking them with the new builds. but many store in

a still fear materials gambit which includes a three thousand percent increase in the minimum wage could bring fresh hardship such a large amounts forty five million old full of hours per week per employee then you have to buy produce and it's expensive how do you manage we're going to have to fire employees what can we do the only himself would have to work for his own business. 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 venezuelans who are desperate to leave the country despite fresh travel restrictions in ecuador and peru and violence in brazil they push on in their thousands determined to find a better life for themselves elsewhere in south and. erica. let's get more now joining us from the venezuelan capital caracas is journalist osgar schlink i 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 venezuela's economy whoa whoa slow mo here but as well or not that but the government wants to make their supporters believe that they know what they're doing and to understand what the government wants and listen 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 muito now there has been little information on the details of many of the measures neither were announced and this is created a lot of confusion in the streets so let's perience now we know that heavy smoke runs 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 seen 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. well that is wells 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 right to justice we call them as well migrants beggars and slaves so there is no real interest in plans to keep people in various where no 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 them to swear that in the coming months i ask her what is the mood on the streets because we're hearing that supporters of president by 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 one 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 core supporters an 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. aakash lanka with the very latest from the venice spending capital caracas thank you. now let's

get a quick check of some other stories that have been making news around the world taiwan has lost another ally after el salvador establish diplomatic ties with china becoming the third country to switch allegiance to beijing this year taiwan considers itself independent from china struggles for international recognition the taiwanese government has accused beijing of using its economic clout to isolate it . a flash flood in the mountain gorge in southern italy has killed at least ten people and injured several others officials say that hikers were swept away as raging water tore through kolob areas rug and mello gorringe rescuers worked throughout the night at least three hikers are still missing. australia's prime minister malcolm turnbull has survived a leadership challenge by his home affairs minister turnbull defeated peter dutton and will continue to lead the liberal party has called the ballot himself after weeks of failing to pelee following opinion polls ratings

you're watching t w news still to come on the program with its currency shedding half of its value this year and new threats of unemployment and inflation turkey's economy has investors worried more and more of them saying that the real problem is president of the water. but first words alone are not enough that is the reaction from many survivors and law enforcement officials to pope francis is letter condemning sexual abuse by priests they're calling for an end to church protection for sexual predators the pontiff's move follows a far reaching us report that found hundreds of clergy members sexually abused at least a thousand children over 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 u.s. grand jury report which found 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 turgid we're going to get this from i mean we are aware. yes ongoing we are aware in the developing countries that there is 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 say any meetings this time around would be tokenistic . of get more now on the story we're joined by our religious affairs correspondent martin gap. welcome to you martin what do you make of the timing of the pope's announcement i mean why now this is been a topic for quite a while well i think that you know there was subsequently no way to stop the flood of news on the brochure that came out of pennsylvania so the grand jury presented

its this report the report was absolutely lucky there yeah i mean it really sort of showed a very very very but big picture not just of the last seventy years in general and but of the last sixteen s. well which is actually since two thousand and two weeks when these scandal figures first came to light so this goes to say that in the last twelve years no great developments no serious attempts are visible at least in terms of the church controlling abuse sexual abuse this means that obviously about to confess it was absolutely important to come out and say something but you know saying something words are really one thing but it's quite another to have actions what do you make in terms of the prospects of the church taking actual steps to prevent future cases it's very hard to say because if in sixteen years nothing had has happened in terms of you know i mean there's been a lot of talk there's been a lot of gestures or has been a lot of meetings and so on but there are no specific policies or protocols in

place to stop either there be uses or the cover up so it's hard to say if we're going to see anything sort of in a week or a week and a half on the other hand the fact of study this letter contained language that is quite new so we're no longer the pope was no learning longer talking about since he was talking about crimes and the tone the change in tone also means that perhaps the vatican is looking at ways to essentially address crimes that of course would have to be a would justice systems from around the world there are so many catholics out there who are just really disillusioned you know as this news this wave of news we have to say trickles through how can the pope regain the confidence of those catholics. really think that there is snow silver bullet here i mean this will. to be a very long process of institutional change and the church is an enormous institution and the one thing that is very clear is that there is one question directly ahead of the pope and this question is whether he will turn the cases the

documents they have events and a goose ations to local authorities to investigate to punish but at the very same time to establish the systems to prevent further abuse so far there has been a policy of like a voluntary cooperation or right out prohibition to church members of bringing out to lunch no authority said with and this has to change the question is where this pope will allow it martin gak our religious affairs correspondent thank you so much for your insight. the most terrible place in the world those are the words of germany's foreign minister heikal mosse on a visit to auschwitz the nazi death camp in poland on the first visit by a foreign minister in twenty six years wrote the following in the visitor book it was a german creation by the name we need this place because our responsibility never ends here's more about a solemn reckoning for. more than one point one million people were killed here

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 was centered on strengthening ties between the two neighboring countries. some sports news for you now and the first round of the german cup is already in the books dortmund barely escaping crashing out of the tournament thanks to a marco royce goal in the dying minutes of extra time in a match against second division furt now dortmund have already scored in the final seconds of normal time through new signing alex fits all too strong the side's level after effect took a deserved to lead the two one win gives the new coach lucien fofa a winning start to his tenure and let's take a look now at the other german matches from the german cup the season long tournaments it often pits top tier teams against lower division clubs second division power born defeated second division in go stop two one the bundesliga

parents of barry lynn managed to managed a two one win against third division. the match between third tier composts and the been a sadist freiburg finished two two after ninety minutes in extra time but freiburg avoided the upset in a penalty shoot out and finally there is that match as we mentioned the dortmund victory against first. premier league club liverpool are in advanced talks with sheikh taj istanbul about it potential two year loan move for the reds german goalkeeper loris caria korea has not played a competitive match for liverpool since his two errors were crucial in his team's defeat against real madrid in the champions league final in may in july the reds find brazil keeper alison as their new number one. on now monica johns is here and we're talking about turkey is troubled economy which apparently will not be getting any help from germany certainly not anytime soon and

certainly not financially immediately sarah berlin has played down a suggestion that germany should offer age to turkey and and did swindling economy the idea was brought up by a leading german politician who said economic stability in turkey was in everyone's interest and right now turkey is anything but stable the league has lost half its value this year while inflation and the unemployment rate are increasing and critics say that the country's president recha type add to one once the face off of the prospering turkish economy is now keeping the country from overcoming the current crisis. whether it's a bridge over the bosphorus and istanbul subway system or an imposing mosque he's president richard no one is known for his began visions. 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 to one has ruled out. 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 it 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 there 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're predicting a hard landing for uncorrupt 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. the dollar has dipped on markets after u.s. president on the lashed out at the federal reserve saying he is not pleased with the central bank raising interest rates the fed is currently expected to raise its kill rates two more times this year and another two times in twenty nineteen chairman jerome powell says he's concerned about inflationary pressure. in an interview donald trump said he was quote not thrilled with the hikes he also refused to say if he believed in the fed's independence powell said the committee will not bow to political pressure. that is something to discuss

with our man at the frankfurt stock exchange are today outside the frankfurt stock exchange corp of presidents normally don't criticize the fed but breaking rules is not exactly anything new with donald trump is it. yeah exactly monica well when you are the president of the united states you should be aware of a couple of things first there might be organizations or institutions like the f.b.i. or like the federal reserve in the united states that you might not agree with but who can act completely independent even without your approval and in this interview donald trump has proven once again that he is either not aware of this or that he simply does not care and something what he said in this interview that he doesn't agree with the policy of the federal reserve is really considered in the financial world as a complete no go and it is also very surprising because it was donald trump himself who appointed jeremy powers as the new hands off the federal reserve after deciding

that the contract of janet yellen the previous test of mr power would not be extended now we know that donald trump once a week dollar but how weak exactly. yeah exactly you already said throughout his campaign that he is in favor of a weak a dollar and for the moment he got what you wanted we heard it the dollar has been going down the euro has been stronger but when you talk to experts here also on the trading floor in frankfurt they don't think that this is really going to stay for a long time as a result we don't really see big market movements because of that usually when we have a strong euro the very export oriented blue chip index is going down but even though donald trump has also made a statement that he doesn't think that there is going to be an agreement very soon happening with china on the trade conflict traders here today in frankfurt are not

very concerned. in frankfurt thank you so much. and daniel just mentioned that a trade conflict between the west and china and the two countries are currently preparing to meet in washington this week to discuss that ongoing trade dispute but even without this extra worry china is beginning to lose its appeal at least for manufacturers the costs of labor regulatory compliance real estate and raw materials have all been rising steeply in recent years not to mention of course u.s. president on a trans punitive tariffs and some foreign business people there feel a shift maybe in evitable and they're looking for manufacturing possibilities in other countries. for over three decades american businessman larry slogan has exported millions of dollars worth of goods from china to some of america's biggest retailers but he's now reducing his exposure to china my next move is to is to

investigate opportunities in countries outside china. thailand cambodia. you see what i'm making in china can be made in those countries slogan tends to favor thailand as this new location he's impressed with the economic advantages for foreign investors there. no import export tax. pieces and now no restriction on work reeses. five to seven years no tax. no tax from the government so they have actively put in some ingredients so to speak. people make it more entice thing with so many new manufacturing possibilities across asia in countries that have more affordable tariffs and favorable tax benefits some companies exporting to the u.s.
