time gorbachev and the opportunity for peace starts october third on g.w. . this is deja news coming to you live from berlin turkey's president says he wants to reset his country's strained relations with germany speaking ahead of a state visit. calls for a new start between ankara and berlin good work me lies behind this general and really succeed or coming up. european football's governing body if op is to

announce who will host the two thousand and twenty four your being championships it's a choice between germany and turkey we don't trust sports correspondent bob both bids. and in the us said today's supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh prepares to respond to allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman as a teenager his accuser professed a christian black ford says the alleged attack changed her life. played. hello and welcome i'm to thought she took is president. is starting his first state visit to germany today di's between the two countries a strained of a number of issues including turkey's detention of germans in a post-coup crackdown but now adams says he wants a new start. ahead of his arrival security has been greased to

a level usually reserved for the u.s. president and the israeli prime minister protests are planned in berlin and five thousand police officers will be out on the streets a large part of the city center a will be closed off during the three day state visit the turkish president will visit several landmarks there's a chance to meet on friday the bedu palace where the state banquet will take place and at the woman more noir. a wreath and also road closures in place around the famous could tell where the turkish president will be staying joining me now from the heart of berlin is our chief political editor. usually you are in a busy part of town in mill brandenburg gate security must be very high there tell us first why is this visit so significant. yes but i mean you can see the german

parliament and two blocks away is the afghan hotel where the turkish president will be staying and he's due to arrive there within the next hour the reason for all of the security no doubt is that he takes the many conflicts with him wherever he goes that he's facing back home but also internationally and that ranges from human rights protesters criticizing the clampdown on journalists on civil servants is deemed to be anywhere near the movement but also journalists and fine german citizens are still in turkish prisons this is something that will most likely be raised and then this is open issue of the turkish kurds which has flared up again recently not to mention the involvement in the syrian conflict so many different protesting groups out here in force potentially today and of course the german government doesn't take any risks that i don't as you land in berlin

shortly and then he needs chancellor angela merkel tomorrow what does she want to get out of this meeting with him. while she wants a more stable more predictable turkey we've seen very tough and rhetoric in recent months and years he still is a very important and reliable partner throughout those accusations of nazi methods in germany that came from the turkish president he's still stuck with the migration deal which of course is a benchmark policy which is an insurance to the german chancellor that something like the migration crisis of twenty fifteen won't happen that quickly again so he is absolutely vital but having said that he also called on voters in germany ahead of those general elections just a year ago not to vote for chancellor merkel's party all the social democrats all the green so you got directly involved in politics here now he's calling for meeting at a level because quite clearly he's in the weaker position this time around so

that's a key. changing dynamics because the turkish currency has has plummeted by some forty percent since the beginning of the year he needs cash he needs investment and germany wants reassurances that turkey remains and continues to be a stable partner also for its companies rights chief political editor. of course we talking to you through the day state visit. so we look for german chancellor angela merkel once from the state visit with the turkish president what does he want from germany and. turkey correspondent reports from istanbul. america looks friendly yet aloof while. sleepy is that the plummeting. that's how cartoonists portrays the turkish president's visit to germany he says turkey's currency crisis is a huge problem for it's affecting everyone in the country he's had to reduce the

size of his satirical magazine because the price of paper has more than doubled in the last few months. just getting to know that a. business in the is a dedication and self-sacrifice always been a part of like in turkey. was a sort of especially in our field other than the picture looks as though look at the letter. but now it has become a real struggle to survive for them and i don't know if we'll be able to make it there. many turks complain about the rising cost of living due to the currency crash and they worry about the future some are hoping germany and the e.u. might step in. but they should help us all mothers of all we don't have a problem with germany or the germans. in germany is our oldest friend michelin's

them to say yeah i could go to turkey too much work you shouldn't have gotten into the situation in the first place i hope everything improves you michelle a lot you're going to show john. germans depend on each other but last year relations between turkey and germany hit an all time low pro-government turkish newspapers repeatedly ran front pages criticizing and even personally insulting chancellor merkel accusing her of nazi practices. now it seems the turkish government is looking for a fresh start and academicians turkey's full my e.u. affairs minister bausch is among those who want relations to improve the war in syria the unpredictable us president and the currency crisis provide plenty of reasons for turkey and germany to work together he says this is his wish list for the machal adlon meeting or. more understanding from chancellor merkel to turkey sensitivities cooperation with turkey in the fight against terror more business

cooperation. and to be more. optimistic. prospects and what can chancellor merkel expect from president. she can expect from turkey through friendship through cooperation and everyone. would agree that if he makes a promise he keeps it so if she can. to make some promises in exchange of the promises that she will make of course then she knows she will be delivered a cartoonist who will be watching the macula adwan meeting closely at the very least he says it should serve up enough material for some fresh set tire. not by sheer coincidence the edge on his coming to berlin on the day that europe's

football governing body. decides of his country turkey or germany will host the two thousand and twenty four european championships germany favorites to win big foot format turkey is desperate to host in two thousand and twenty four having made failed bids for the last three to an immense. euro twenty twenty four is set 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 as shadow looms over germany's bid the message is he'll affair

the arsenal midfielder's meeting with turkish president richard tie a bad one caused an uproar that eventually ended in israel retiring from the germany national team 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 were ready to host the iraqis we love football we deserve to be the host of . football's been played in turkey for over one hundred years it's part of our lives here. but financial instability and the drop of the lira could put turkey's bid on potential profits in jeopardy. europe's football

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 pecks huge tax breaks from the hosts. its executive committee is made up of twenty members. of the german and turkish representatives come vote one member netherlands prague has publicly thrown his support behind turkey. in case of a stalemate you wait for president alexandre shefrin will break the tie some think he will lean towards germany as it stands it's all up in the yeah the only certainty for the bid for euro two thousand and twenty four is going to be a close race. joining me now is chris how can from welcome chris everyone is waiting with bated breath for that result which is going to come

out in a few was still come to us was evaluation gemini's the frontrunner on what basis well i think four words been there done that you know germany has hosted major football tournaments and they were praised for their inspirational creative and professional vision you know everything's already in place your he love the head coach for the german national team he chimed in of course naturally he's biased with the decision he wants to host but he thinks the decision should be made based on merit and not political reasons and we all know that politics has been thrown into this conversation you know but germany does have the upper hand it is warranted i believe that would many would argue that you know until he's been rejected so many times the people there love football that they should be given a chance now you know. to combat that you know what people do expect or hope for in turkey's regard they have been given i believe in consolation the right to host the twenty twenty you wave the champions league final and that's not to. shabby but

you know according to this report that praised germany so highly they actually as we heard in the report we just witnessed they put turkey's human rights record in question as well as their economic infrastructure promises you know because as it stands right now if turkey were to be awarded the right to host as big tournaments they would have to renovate you know a stadium in the things like this and obviously pump more money into their economy and there are financial issues that are troubling turkey at the moment and for but of course is also about money to what extent do financial considerations play really been a decision is made well we heard of the report who has a deciding vote the u.a.e. for president alexander suffering is the deciding vote he stated the economical side is absolutely crucial and then when you factor in the number of seats that germany have more than turkey three hundred thousand more tickets can be sold in germany if they host compared to that of turkey so you have to factor in how much

that can you know bring in profits and you know all that all this tournament the profits that it does generate the profits are allocated to all of the federations after the turn it leading up into the next you way for tournaments so you know the last one that hosted twenty four teams eleven million euros per team that's how much they got that's more than the world cup ok so there's a lot of money at stake you know and i think there will be the deciding factor i would say germany will host the two thousand and twenty four euros that's my opinion only that's what i think ok we will of course be covering the vote in fitful in class we have chris and the rest of the crew here in berlin for updates chris huntington thank you very much. let me now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the world police in slovakia have detained suspects in the killing of a journalist and his fiancee a young teen. both twenty seven were shot dead at their home outside bodies

extend its perfect home record against newly promoted nuremberg. and accordingly it took dortmund just nine minutes to open the scoring through yacc a 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 bird's fabienne grade low. but shortly after the half hour mark dortmund's captain made up for his wasted chance. to nail the well deserved lead coming through royce whose shot took a slight deflection through the onrushing georg mark reiter. in the second half the already one sided affair became even more humiliating for the visitors first ashraf he made it three after forty nine minutes the on loan player from rail madrid scoring on his bundesliga j.p. . parishad were playing cat and mouse with nuremberg marco royce with his second of

is almost like he's presenting it's. got to quiet. the way a positive spin on it but i've got thank you very much but as far as go global growth goes things about looking baseball is not that positive you know you have to remain positive because of that the world trade organization is downgrading its global trade forecast for the next two years thanks in part to the simmering trade conflicts around the globe the w t o expects world trade to expand by three point two nine percent this year and around three point seven percent in twenty nineteen and that is down half a percent from previous forecasts in a statement the w t o cited and the free trade measure that's prompting the move evidently a critique of u.s. president donald trump's traits policies. are right and that's as a man of the front for stock exchange. powell. before today's

statement of the w.t. oh we already had the head of this organization of about to as david was saying that well there is a dim future ahead for world trade. protectionism is a danger to the world economy as a whole that that was the message yesterday and that's the message today the w two had said that if a corporation among countries in the w t o breaks apart it would mean a loss of one point nine per cent of global g.d.p. the w.t. of course is an organization that donald trump loaves saying that it has been treating the us unfairly it's a place where all countries get together. if they have a quarrel about what is going on in trade and the us has been blocking the organization by the chilling new judges the appointment of new judges which in

effect might render the entire organizational organization dysfunctional ok so the w t o's certainly has as a good reason not to be too happy about the current trade policy in washington but the european central bank also strikes a pessimistic tone. yes it is played around a little with numbers and a model found out that guess what if you pick a fight with everyone else you're going to lose out that's what the you should be found in an assumption that the u.s. would slap tariffs of ten percent on all the imports coming to the country from all countries in which case it would lose out most and china would actually game because it could access other markets worried could do its trade i haven't quite found out of the city has sent reports to the white house yet ok well maybe they hear it through d w. but it's thank you so much for this.

the u.s. federal reserve has raised interest rates interest rates to range between two and two and a quarter percent the raise is the third this year and it's been spurred on by stronger g.d.p. growth which hit four point two percent last quarter the fed has been slowing tightening its monetary policy over the last several years mocking an end to its efforts to support the u.s. economy after the financial crisis the hike is a vote of confidence in the u.s. economy by fed policy bosses despite uncertainty on markets the trade conflict with china the fed also signaled so there might be another rise coming this year and up to three next year. well here in europe temperatures dropping after a scorching summer it's time then to wrap up in your favorite woolly garments but what does a drought in australia have to do with the cost of your winter wardrobe quite

a lot as it turns out. hungry lambs a dried stricken farm in the eastern states of new south wales astray produces ninety percent of the world's merino wool exports. but after one of the driest seasons on record many sheep farmers are struggling to keep their flocks alive what at the moment were about thirty eight forty thousand balls less this form of the the what we had last week so that's really awful so we've lost so far already for all this trail. to drop in production comes at a time when global demand for not full fibers is surging at this well auction in sydney the bids are coming in fast and strong. will be the only idea well it's certainly a great spark in demand at the moment and i guess we have to go right back to the

consumer who's now walking into the shop and morning and asking for war looking for a natural father and the the fashion for them i would this is certainly has a lot of wool incorporating it with farmers losing sheep to drives the astray and government is predicting well production to drop four percent this financial year. meaning shoppers should expect to fork out more for their believe winter wear. and here's a reminder of the top stories we're following for you. turkish president type as one is arriving in berlin today the relationship between the two countries are strained over a number of issues as one says he wants to improve ties. and european football's a governing body to a faucet to choose the host nation for the euro twenty twenty four tournament germany and turkey are the only candidates both business will give final presentations for them but. this is p.w.
