each country's bad. and high drama expected in the u.s. senate today a supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh compares to respond to allegations he sexually assaulted a woman as a teenager his accuser professor christine blasi ford says the election time changed for a long. low thanks so much for being with us i'm brian thomas turkey's president tired barrel long is starting a visit to germany today ties between these two countries are strained over a number of issues but now everyone says he wants to turn over a new page security throughout berlin at this hour ahead of his arrival is that a rare level one usually reserved for the american president or the prime minister of israel large parts of berlin's city center will be closed off during this three day state visit protests are planned here in berlin five thousand police officers

will be on duty in the coming days. our chief political editor michelle we're covering this worse joins us now from our parliamentary studio good morning michele why are we seeing the highest possible level of security today because wherever the turkish president goes he takes the controversies that surround him his presidency but also that involve the whole country of turkey we know that there will be human rights groups protesting but the whole range of protests that will go from human rights protesters to p.k. potentially p.k. k. groups the kurdish separatist organization which is which is also in turkey will be very interesting what the police response will also be it's been much tougher in taking any kind of symbolism directly off protesters in the past so a lot of contentious issues also the role of turkey in the conflict in syria so there are many groups that have a stake in this and when it comes to the diplomacy here in germany there are also

a lot of difficult issues on the table and there's a lot of difficult history of the past two years so let's just have a look at that. this handshake is nothing more than a photo op to politicians who are unlikely to become friends turkish president air to one loves pomp and circumstance and he's considered quick tempered. americal on the other hand is said to be a serious humble politician who loves harmony. it's a relationship that's certainly not based on great personal friendship but more on the knowledge that the political relations of the two countries are very important and must be maintained it's certainly not a marriage of love. and in the spring of two thousand and seventeen relations were at a low point the german government refused to allow air to one's party to hold election

campaign events in germany the furious turkish president responded by playing the nazi card. about right now. are using nazi methods against whom against my turkish brothers and sisters who live in germany i'm against all ministers and deputies who travel with. america was calm and objective in her response are you going to do these comparisons between the federal republic of germany and national socialism must cease they are unworthy of the close ties and relations we've built up between the people of germany and turkey politically as nato partners socially and economically the chancellor is also concerned about the human rights situation in turkey tens of thousands of heir to one critics have been imprisoned including german journalists friends relatives and the german government are campaigning for their release. but ere the one is

gradually transforming back into a serious partner his country is in the midst of an economic crisis urgently needs german aid and is increasingly isolated because of its foreign policy so turkey is now signaling a willingness to compromise with germany. they are moving closer together after last year's flare up and the more difficult years proceeding that but their relationship will nevertheless remain strained because the issues that lead up to the separation and that is above all domestic policy in turkey won't change very quickly. and yet both germany and turkey know that this is far more than a marriage of convenience. so michelle aware is the strained german turkish relationship added. well it's still very strained of were main so that's what we heard from the deputy foreign minister state secretary of war today who said there would have been a lot more would have to happen than the easing of rhetoric one must bear in mind

that the role of the one is almost schizo phrenic in the sense that she times singlehandedly kept the migration crisis as it became known. at bay for the german chancellor some one point three million syrian refugees are in turkey through that turkey deal what became known as the turkey deal at the same time he called upon turks living in germany german turks of turkish descent not to vote for the main parties not to vote for german chancellor angela merkel party and the social democrats in the past general elections now he's coming he wants he wants something from the german chancellor he needs support particularly economic support to stop the free fall of the lira in turkey so it's a very different kind of playing field in an article today he calls for eye level well right now he's looking up but there were other times and no doubt other times could arrive once again so very interesting what will come out of this. thanks so

much for now we'll of course have continuing coverage on this visit throughout the day and over the next three days. well by coincidence or long is coming to berlin on the very day that europe's football governing body will decide if his country turkey or germany will be hosting the twenty twenty four european football championships germany are the favorites right now but football mad turkey is desperate to host a twenty twenty four made failed bids for the last three tournaments. twenty twenty four is said to be a footballing spectacle twenty four countries competing in a total of fifty one games but who will host the prestigious event germany are regarded as frontrunners you wafers evaluation committee has already backed the bid the german football association see this as a chance to follow up on the success of the two thousand and six world cup and

they're clear on the benefits of their bid. we have the stadia the infrastructure the accommodation we also have great fan zones we're basically ready to host the euros tomorrow. but a shadow looms over germany's bid them as it is still a fair play arsenal midfielder's meeting with turkish president richard tie a bad one caused an uproar that eventually ended in retiring from the germany national same he accused the german football association of racism and discrimination. could that be an advantage for turkey the country is confident its bid can stand on its own turkey's footballing culture its modern stadia and even president add to one's passion for the game positives after three unsuccessful bids this one is meant to click. around everyone can see we're ready to host the year yes we love football we deserve to be the host

of. football's been played in turkey five or one hundred years it's part of our lives here. but financial instability and the drop of the lira could put turkey's bid and potential profits in jeopardy. europe's governing body has sent out mixed signals they have set clear requirements including on matters such as human rights and freedom of expression on the other hand you a fix pect huge tax breaks from the hosts. its executive committee is made up of twenty members. the german and turkish representatives can vote one member netherlands michel van praag has publicly thrown his support behind turkey. in case of a stalemate you wait for president alexander shefrin will break the tie some think he will lean towards germany as it stands it's all up in the air the only certainty

the bid for euro two thousand and twenty four is going to be a close race. well just how close a talk about that press harrington from either of you sport is here to fill us in good morning press morning you know when we look at the uro's we are taking a look at one of the biggest sporting events on the planet how many people do we have an idea if you want to look at the most recent euros tournament twenty six team five billion viewers six hundred million tuned in for the final between portugal in france alone so when you factor in we have a little more time more people will get mobile phones i think those numbers will increase this this upcoming tournaments you know i don't see why it would need twenty twenty four so more than more than five billion yeah i think that's why you get. a germany or according to according to the report we just saw there press that you a for a valuation has the edge right now why why does it have this edge well you know they were called is for a snow creative they had

a professional vision and then you have to look at the recent history you know there were tournaments and they were highly profitable tournaments not to mention and that was something that alexander separate the president of u.a.e. who has the deciding vote said is paramount you know the money return is very important in a tournament like this soldier germany you know across his board definitely is going to be the favorite ok there's more stadiums here for stadiums here more than three hundred thousand can actually fit in go to games here opposed to turkey and then when you look at turkey they do have some renovating to do they do have a thing to do as well in their major stadium they won big state and they do have so germany's been touting its infrastructure as well getting the people around getting them to the course those additional stadiums your turkey though has been rejected three times just if you look just at that simply based on that shouldn't it be given the tournaments around each basin of always the bridesmaid never the bride argument and i think you know you have to factor in that that turkey has not held

it hosted at a major tournament like this they were awarded a consolation not the first time but the u.a.e. for a champions league final they will. be able to host you know so that is something but i did mention the if a structure you know they have one stadium the to turkey olympic stadium needs to be rebuilt after it hosts that major tournament and then also another factor in the decision making process is going to be the human rights issues as we heard in the report so this is obviously a strike against turkey as well ok so you a fas considering the crackdown and what's happened there in in its calculation in the calculus of or the first time in the history of the design process this is a new factor chris aren't and thanks so much for bring us up to date you'll be covering that vote in switzerland expect the next few hours and we'll have press on the rest of the state of use force through here in berlin for updates. while also taking a look at this standings in the bonus league later in the show now going to look at some of the other stories making the news around the world a british online investigative group says a russian man accused of poisoning

a former russian spy and his daughter in salisbury britain is a military officer who received an honor from president vladimir putin twenty four team the website belling counts as the suspect his passport name was boucher off was in fact colonel and a totally deaf ago. and a russian member of the anti kremlin activist group pussy riot has been released from a berlin hospital. believes he was poisoned by russia's secret service for investigating the deaths of russian journalists german doctors say it is quote highly plausible that he was poisoned but cannot determine how it happened or who could be responsible. while these shoes are probably not made for walking in the world's most expensive footwear cost a cool fourteen point five million euros these luxury high heels on veils of the seven star burj all are rob hotel in dubai crafted from pure gold featuring

a cone jobs to brass something their group leader in the senate strenuously deny. this isn't a democratic smear job as the leader so callously and disrespectfully suggested this is a republican rush job and i might add a rush job to avoid getting to the truth. regarding the extraordinary hearing president trump said i think it's going to be a very very important day in the history of our country and i want to thank you all sir to young men who served there to young man young to thank you very much nothing to say no more to say for ny christine please the forward will be first to give her testimony followed by brick kavanah soon after. german football for you now in the bundesliga wrapped up in midweek slate of

matches with percy a dark man looking to jump from force to second place in the standings they hosted nurnberg but didn't present much of a challenge. dortmund was in a festive mood and even coach lucianne farver was all smiles and was expecting to extend its perfect home record against newly promoted nuremberg. and accordingly it took dortmund just nine minutes to open the scoring through the broom larsson. to meet flicks the first from provider christian political the second to finish off the move and give dortmund an early lead. which marco royce should have doubled a minute later only to be denied by norm berg's fabienne brave low. but shortly after the half hour mark dortmund's captain made up for his wasted chance i. to milk a well deserved lead coming through royce who's shot took a slight deflection through the onrushing georg mcgregor. in the second half the

already one sided affair became even more humiliating for the visitors first awestruck he made it three after forty nine minutes the on loan players from rail madrid scoring on his bundesliga debut parishad were playing cat and mouse with nuremberg markel royce with his second of the evening making it for now. by this point the dortmund players were taking turns at trying to score against their hapless opposition manuela conduit make it five nil after seventy four minute . and it wasn't over yet jaden sensual scoring the sixth of the evening and he later turned provider for julieann vital who rounded off the scoring at seven now cartman's biggest bundesliga win in more than thirty years. and by a late because in start to the new season has been their worst since one thousand nine hundred eighty two with three defeats in just one when only added to that when

iran river derby by besting. it was last season. second division champions who started this one on the front foot and they would have taken the lead after just five minutes if you guess credits he hadn't spread himself to deny benito the man. after another smartly worked attack by the hosts the next chance fell to move in headings but once again laver cusins finished stop a refused to be beaten. continued to produce some fine attacking combinations in the first half but couldn't take their chances on thirty three minutes it was one small remand the next labor accusing are. still things looks good for the home side at half time. but just five minutes after the restart for two no were punished for their failure to school i kevin fall and left alone at the post after a corner poked his side in front last season's top scorer from eva cruisin with his

first of the campaign. the guests were on fire in the second half and again failed to follow and to exploit their dominance the twenty six year old battles his way through the defenders challenges before converting a beautifully weighted trust from chi advocates. deep into at a time going to ten top gave away a penalty with this foul only croaky so much. but few home fans would have hoped for much more than a consolation which reuben henning's duly provided i still at full time it was the away fans cheering heiko hellish man go into saturday's clash with dortmund in high spirits. out to a video that's gone viral here's a moment to see all slap the kayaker in the face with an octopus. karl melinda was paddling off the coast of perth in new zealand he said he could

feel the full impact of that octopus on his face lesson learnt never get between a c.e.o. and his want. ok never get in the way of business news either mark is here and all eyes are on italy this morning not just the markets just the markets as italy's minister of economy and finance giovanni is expected to present his budget plan for twenty nine thousand later today or you can be sure that the rest of the eurozone will be listened carefully because italy's question government is determined to fulfill a expensive campaign promises from a basic income for poor people to a lower retirement age now that might please voters but how to reconcile a generous tax and welfare program with budget discipline rules let alone the financial stability of the blocks third largest economy. both the five star movement and the league said they would keep the budget deficit below the

limit of three percent of g.d.p. as stipulated by the eurozone regulations now the government is expected to flout e.u. rules by raising italy's deficit targets to boost spending italy has been gradually bringing its deficit under control the country was hit hard in the global financial crisis which began in two thousand and eight within a year its deficit ballooned to five point two percent of g.d.p. but by twenty fifteen it was below the euro zone's three percent benchmark last year the deficit was down to two point three percent of g.d.p. . the central bank fears a fresh spike in the deficit would send italy's debt spiraling out of control italy has the second highest public debt in the eurozone after greece and among the highest in the world and analysts believe that italy's debt figures are underestimated because they don't adequately factor in the cost of supporting the country's ailing banks. so what does still facially financial system and ultimately

for the euro zone let's ask see from the brussels based economic think tank bruegel good to have you with us oh of course it's always great to have politicians try to fulfill the compay misses but can italy afford an expensive welfare program i think that's exactly the point this government is defined to be a populist government because he has been promising something in the order of magnitude of one hundred billion euros worth of electoral promises with tax reduction on the universal basic income that would be six seven percentage points of g.d.p. so while it is laudable the government wants to fulfill its promises has to reckon with. economic reality and that's what that's what's at stake today with the presentation off of the budget i mean a lot of analysts and you just touched on it

a worried about italy's budget deficit that would balloon out of control well last year it was below the used target how much wiggle room is there given that other members including germany remember that in the past also violated that famous three percent of g.d.p. rule. i think the three percent rule or the three percent number is misleading in this setting in the sense that fiscal rules european fiscal rules are more complex. than this and when they are designed in a way that when you are in a phase of fiscal expansion you would want a country especially a country like italy that has high debt to try to reduce their deficit in order to bring down their debt and create wiggle room for when the next recession hits so yes we have that three percent really an upper limit but here it is should be aiming at something much lower to the key target that financial markets are looking

at is more in the order of magnitude of two percent and this two percent comes from the fact that it would mean that given g.d.p. growth italy would still be on a debt reduction path. let me just because you mentioned the debt and as much was mentioned in the report italy's national debt is the highest and i think that's kind of what is at stake in these days because it is a matter of seeing whether the government respects economic reality and they cannot make reality is that italy has this huge debt you're talking about here has a fragile financial system so if the government is ready to take that out to factor that in and not follow populist promises then the country can remain solidly into the euro zone if a financial crisis is sparked and often you do it in one. unwillingly let's say inadvertently then there with there is very little the government can do not

withstanding italy's economic weight ok let's see your tendency for the brussels based economic think tank bruegel on italy and its budget twenty nine hundred thank you so much thank you. here's a reminder of the top stories we're following for you. turkey's president added one is arriving in berlin today the relationship between the two countries is strange over a number of issues and one says he wants to improve ties. with european football's governing body weight process to choose the host nation of the euro twenty twenty four tournament germany and germany and choky are the only candidates both to this will give final presentations before the cup. that's news coming to you live from berlin more at the top of the hour we want to meet you with a picture from the fascinating rolled in remission two pilots competing on the mountain
