i'm still going to welcome to the program germany's chancellor and key party leaders have ended an initial crisis meeting aimed at resolving a rout over the head of the country's domestic intelligence service i'm going to marcos coalition partners the social democrats want to hans-georg mohsen to resign following his controversial comments about the recent protests in the city of candidates there's been no word yet on whether he has gone talks about his fate are due to resume next week. could the president of germany's domestic secret service bring down the government that's what the papers are asking social democrats a conservative huns georg masson must go if not they could quit angela merkel's

governing coalition and there's been anyone at the head of a security institution of our country has to be absolutely trustworthy and it's obvious that this trust no longer exists so there must be consequences for now conservatives are backing marson he's accused of improperly passing on sensitive information to germany's far right populist party the f.t. and f.t. member told germany via the data was contained in an unreleased government report. when we spoke with mr marson about the reports it wasn't available in printed form yet we talked about various numbers and figures such as right wing extremism left wing extremism and islam and threats. s.p.d. chairwoman under they are not less met for crisis talks with merkel and conservatives in an attempt to end the impasse but no breakthrough was announced. let's get more political correspondent christopher springer welcome chris so that

meeting is over does hands martin still have a job. apparently he does still have a job the meeting as you say is over all three lead to none of the three leaders involved chancellor magical for the conservatives for the bavarian conservatives hosty hope for the interior minister and the leader of the social democrats and three and others none of them have made any public statements what we're hearing from government sources is that all three leaders have agreed to keep the contents of their meeting secret for now apparently it was a good and serious set of talks and as you mentioned the same three leaders will be meeting next wednesday with the intention of continuing working as a governing coalition that's what we know so far so it's the s.p.d. pushing for this man to go how important is a victory for them in this. well i understand that the

party leadership had a telephone conference earlier today and one of the lines they did agree on was not to put the governing coalition at risk over this issue so they're pushing very hard for. mohsen to be fired or for him to resign but seen from today it doesn't look as though they are going to push the red button as in the sense that they will. leave the chancellor merkel's governing coalition so the coalition seems safe what about the chancellor herself how much pressure is she under over this. well i would say all of the three leaders who are talking in the chancellery behind me she's. least under pressure as it were. the person who really is in the focus is the interior minister. who for because he is

the political boss of hands masson the head of germany's domestic intelligence service he would be the person who would have to fire him so he's under a lot of pressure essentially if he was convinced to fire him that would be a huge climb down for him at the moment i don't see him doing that especially because his party the christian social union they are the bavarian conservatives and they face a difficult state election coming up next month christopher springer it let's well let's ask you what more briefly one of the a.f.d. germany's far right opposition party they do seem to be enjoying themselves at the chancellor's expense. that's one way of putting it i mean they're definitely dominating the headlines at the moment everybody is talking about how to address the threat that they pose the far right threat that they pose for them any published is good publicity good talking to thank you so much. you're welcome

let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world french president emmanuel macro has presented a plan to combat poverty and he said the government wants to spend eight billion euros over the next four years to help the poor critics accuse him of failing to address the needs of people living in poverty. spain's parliament has voted to remove the remains of former dictator general franco from his to rule space for thirty six years until nine hundred seventy five disparate in the valley of the fall on the same monument holds the remains of thirty seven thousand dead from both sides of the civil war that brought him to power. russian protest groups foresee riots as one of its members is in a grave condition due to possible poisoning vessel off was hospitalized in moscow after losing his eyesight and the ability to speak the group last made headlines by briefly disrupted the world cup football files. the catholic church in germany

says it is distressed and ashamed by the findings of a new report into the sexual abuse of children by priests the dependent report commissioned by the catholic church found that clergymen had abused all raped really four thousand children over seventy years starting at the end of the second world war most of the victims were boys under the age of thirteen one of them has been talking to day doubly about the violence he endured as a young boy. when he was eight years old little kaiser was one of the world renowned catholic choir boys in the southern german city of lake and work he lived in a boarding school where he was sexually abused by priests for several years two years ago he shared the painful memories that still haunt him iranians but of a consumer into the prefects room. down with my pajama bottoms. head into his lap. then he thrashed me and

groaned loudly. i only realized later that he pleasured himself by rubbing his genitals on the back of my head. in the study the catholic church noted three thousand six hundred seventy seven victims of sexual violence over a period of nearly seventy years the victims were mostly male and mostly children one thousand six hundred seventy priests are accused of committing the crime. observers complained that the church didn't release all its documents to the investigation and that abuse survivors weren't given the chance to be heard the authors of the study also pointed out that the number of victims has probably been greatly underestimated during the study they examined forty thousand files and they found that every third reported case was dealt with by the church itself and forty percent of reported cases were brought to court. the study says perpetrators were

often transferred to other parishes without the community's knowledge of what they had done. a received a one time payment of twenty five hundred euros for his suffering he and many others are demanding that the catholic church confront it sexual abuse crisis with more transparency. let's look at this further with peter. head of the national association for people abused childhood welcome to. do you think it's fair to say these latest revelations this time from germany physic. believe me phil by i absolutely do i mean i've been working with victims and survivors and i am one myself. for over twenty years so none of these rev revelations are actually new what is horrible is is to actually have to confront the reality that as institutions go the catholic church

harbors in reality more criminals than any other institution on the planet i mean if it were if we were talking about a multinational corporation a business that had so many rapists and perverts dotted around the globe many in the southern hemisphere that we don't tend to look at very often week there would be an absolute out cry out right each but there hasn't been until now and now organizations like my own in the u.k. that has the support of the british government thank god and ending clergy abuse the organization that i'm here in berlin meeting with tomorrow we're having a congress a conference in this wonderful city to discuss this issue at long last something is starting to happen but there are no excuses feel that the church hasn't taken this issue seriously in the past and done something about it because it absolutely could

you know this is a pope who many of putting their hopes on to promote change and until recently you were working on his child protection a commission you would be disappointed by your experience was well beyond disappointed when i met the pope in two thousand and fourteen i really thought the things i thought he was taking this mass of seriously i thought something significant fundamental was going to change because you know abuse in the catholic church is is is a pandemic it goes on everywhere i've heard from most of the adults who were abused as. kids of course from all over the world and during the course of my brief period of time on that papal commission absolutely nothing had happened and of course i was ejected because i started to voice that opinion so the church doesn't like to air these issues it doesn't like transparency it protects its own and as i say it's

the biggest organization in the world i would say that that has more i hate to use the word paedophile because they're not all paedophiles but child abuse is more than the than any other organization is a is an outrage and so stop. we have on the one hand we have the pope's commission that he and you are part of it you're looking at this for on the inside dissatisfied with what you you saw and left it so it was a public relations exercise so what is it that why is the church so resistance to the idea of arresting all these criminals within it and just cleaning out the stables as a way if i can mix my metaphors and mix you metaphors all you like you need to get some of the cardinals or the archbishop's sitting here and trying to explain why they do this i've personally you know as a christian i don't understand these are supposed to be people of god but the way

they behave clearly they many of them there are good priests and nuns around let's let's not forget that but the people at the top of the tree the people who run this institution are basically morally corrupt as far as i'm concerned so do you think that they think they can just ride this out because barely at day goes by without there being another revelation of thousands more children having abused here there and everywhere do you think they can just wait for this to pass that's what they're relying on and that's what they've got away with for generations but long last you and i are having a conversation about race we've got this congress in berlin at the weekend where discussing this six more states in the united states of america have announced that they are doing an investigation into the catholic church within their own states this is you know we have the independent inquiry in the u.k. that is also looking at the catholic church we have the royal commission in australia that has strongly condemned the catholic church the church of my

upbringing things are going to change and i don't think and i think at last the pope if nobody else realizes that they can't get away with this criminality any longer phil complicated question that i would ask you to try to answer briefly. national government is complicit in this why aren't national governments national legal authorities prosecuted more of these people well it's a good question we could talk about it for hours in too many parts of the world but the church has had far too much power and far too much of our cozy relationship i mean island being an example a place close to where we were brought up that is no longer the case but the church was a dominant factor in a dominant force in our them for generations last that is no longer the case but in many other parts of the world it still is feel good talking to thank you so much for joining us now from the u.k.

set national association for people who abuse the child. now a better president is here and he has your business news welcome ben thank you phil we're talking about the turkish lira and the turkish lira has made a major turnaround today surging after a decision by the central bank to braise interest rate by more than six percent so his financial authorities met today in a last ditch effort to pull the lever is dramatic the center or at least to slow it the currency value has plunged more than forty percent against the deal of this year alice to downgrade for a drastic interest rate hike to keep prices from further skyrocketing but turkish president richard type it wanted to post such a move claiming higher interest rates could worsen the country's economic problems turkish regulators have also decided to ban all real estate business in foreign currencies all transactions will now be handled in lira. it's also another attempt of course to support the county which continue to tumble even after many to explore

there is with dollars like the president had told them let's rope in craig our analyst in london along with our wisdom bowl correspondent dorian jones craig starting with you how much of a boost is that right rise giving the lira. it's give me a quote of so far i think for two reasons firstly is that it's actually very high could self expectations by around two percent which is always going to be the reason is that there was still i think a little bit of warre that the central bank would shoot what markets were expecting because of the pressure being put on it by the president so the fact that it's going to ball sends a strong signal to markets that it is still independent and it will still act in that manner in order to support the currency and support the markets i bet investors are relieved to add one didn't want this rate rise but it's even bigger and actually the biggest in his fifteen year rule. the only question now is whether

it's going to be an off so actually calm investors or whether more is going to be needed further down the road we've seen in argentina for example we saw significant rate hikes previously and even then we need that another fifteen percent rate hike quite recently in order to try and calm events the nerves and even that may not be enough so there may still be more needed but the central buying showing its independence is in the stream an important step during a question for you doesn't this all make ed a one look bad. well i think there will be relief across the country the currency didn't suffer further falls and that was the expectation that if the central bank didn't act decisively the currency would again be under pressure and those holes have ties to country parts of the same time it does come in the face of a very strong warning by the president against increasing interest rates to the central bank how his supporters will see that going forward will be unclear but i think the priority across the deep political divide these this country gets

a grip of dealing with this currency crisis and ultimately the looming economic recession that many are expecting in the coming months ahead so relief all round but how are people coping with the crisis. well i think the first state of affairs in this country is that people are in massive shock that the currency has fallen so significantly and they are dealing with the reality of that a massive surge in inflation inflation is nearly twenty percent is expected to go up as high as nearly thirty percent and then people are already coming to terms of those things raising prices or buying schoolbooks food prices are soaring that is a big concern and that is i mean the talk of the street going forward there is a realisation that there will be a likelihood of a recession and that means job losses the country's awash on social media of talk of big companies in trouble and the fear is that there will be a major rise in unemployment so there is realisation that the country is facing

very very tough times ahead even in spite of this action by the central bank and the fear is that if those tough time to go to get worse the president could possibly intervene put more pressure on the central bank to reverse its stance and that would be a big concern among investors as well as the concern that investors expect far more steps be taken on the fiscal side as well craig you mentioned more measures need to be taken what needs to be done to ward off recession. alternately we need to see stabilization in the currency markets. for turkey to have any chance of. avoiding a recession or more likely not ensuring that it's not quite a horrible recession and i think it all that we need to get investors on side and therefore set up first by the central bank is important fiscal sensibility also needs to ensure that that's the part that people are also extremely concerned about because the seems to be decide that you can spend spend spend your way out of problems and historically that doesn't appease investors and you do tend to see

capital flight they're the two most important things i think that we need to say one of which is currently being ticked right thanks for the import credo i'm in london and dorian joins in istanbul for us. ten years on since the global financial crisis hit e.c.b. chief mario draghi says there's no room for complacency calling for strong regulation to avert another crisis the bank is trimmed its growth focus today while announcing it's set to wind back economic stimulus from october on words the monthly purchases of government bonds are going to be cut in half to fifteen billion euros exposures as are executed to keep troubled european economies afloat but the e.c.b. did leave its key interest rate untouched at an all time low of zero percent apple shares lead by two point seven percent its latest smartphone line up with the customary fanfare take john says the i phone ten s at its biggest sibling the ten

preparing. the hurricane is not even here yet it's expected to make landfall sometime late tonight or possibly early tomorrow morning but conditions here are getting very windy the water is rising underneath where i stand right now the biggest concern throughout the week of preparations has been the prospect of flooding and flash flooding this is especially true in south carolina which is expected to take the brunt of the hurricane but even around here there's a park right next to me that's basically on the water with no barrier and if this water rises even a little bit this whole area standing in front of me right here is going to be covered in water and people are really expecting that there really hasn't been much warning over what people should do where they should put their cars now up in virginia where we've also spent some time officials there have been a little more communicative with their population they've been press conferences they've been alerts they've been municipal sandbag areas where people can come prepare their houses for the rain although virginia is now expected to be almost

completely missed by the hurricane but so for officials in south carolina the biggest prospect is flooding especially because the hurricane is expected to stall out when it hits land and just dump all of its water right where it hits on the coast. iraqi officials have also begun in the northern philippines where a typhoon is heading in from the pacific well than four million people live in the path of typhoon man cut on both an eight hundred thousand a big move to safety the philippines weather bureau says man cut is nine hundred kilometers wide and packing maximum sustained speeds of two hundred five kilometers per hour it's expected to make landfall on saturday the civil defense agency says it's deploying the belief god sent disaster equipment. world leaders past and present gathered encounters capital across today for the state funeral of former u.n. secretary general kofi anna some six thousand mourners page tributes to the diplomats
