minds. this is the. president. of us who leads a deeply divided over. to bridge the gap. also on the program america's judicial committee prepares to vote. on a supreme court nomination before the full. after hearing dramatic testimony accusing him of attempted rape. the indonesian island of so the ways in.

powerful earthquake and tsunami waves up to to sweep buildings away. i'm phil gal welcome to the program. turkish president might have taken a first step towards repairing the fractured relationship between the countries at a joint press conference in berlin chancellor merkel admitted the differences between the remain but said that she's hopeful of finding common ground this despite fierce criticism from within germany of turkey's human rights record. even in germany there are sometimes moments when journalists cannot behave exactly as they please president here the one was in the middle of his press conference with chancellor merkel when a man stood up and revealed a t. shirt with the words press freedom he was quickly bundled out by security officers

the brief distraction seemed to amuse ed of one but his crackdown on journalistic freedom was one of the issues the chancellor raised with him at their meeting. it's no secret that there have been serious differences between us in the recent years and there still are. good it's mainly about the rule of law and about press freedom that fogged up testify head at the stardust asked about the case of chandan darr a turkish journalist now in exile in germany everyone was defiant they could be the bush flew for such which he used a loophole and he fled to germany. but his court sentence remains valid. and this person belongs in jail because he has revealed state secrets. which is outside on the streets of berlin protesters were also drawing attention to

the lack of basic freedoms in turkey a protest it's not against other one but it's against his politics is politics often violation of human rights is politics of violation of freedom of press and journalism is not a crime but it seems to be a crime in turkey. earlier german president steinmeyer greeted area one at bellevue palace this visit is an attempt to normalize relations when times are anything but normal turkey is holding a number of germans as political prisoners not to mention thousands of his own citizens many politicians worry the owners go too far slobbered a cause for peace i think this appeasement course and to me it smells like appeasement is totally wrong because it by trey's and mocks all those who are victims of oppression and there are hundreds of thousands of them in turkey holes in them and in their took. a number of demonstrations both for and against the want

to do over the next twenty four hours but with thousands of police deployed in central berlin there's determination that street protests will not overshadow the diplomacy. or president heard one will attend a state banquet in his honor tonight hosted by germany's president frank. political editor mckenna cook for is outside the palace whether banquet will be held welcome we have or i would heard chancellor merkel acknowledge the significant political differences between the two countries what the president urged won't say about the . well he basically doesn't really see the problem at one point he says that he demanded respect also for the judiciary in turkey this after the german chancellor had criticized the lack of rule of law in his country so clearly they won't find any common ground on that part of his argument i mean he didn't he didn't mention donald trump you didn't mention the united states but at

one point you could hear that seeping through between the lines when he said these are difficult times we are both for free markets and that's of course something that donald trump is against and the tone was more kind of we have to stick together and make the free trade work in a sense well this is a very difficult issue for the german chancellor who on key values that she that the european union stands for has more than just reservations and everyone comes here in his hour of need he needs economic support he spent a good part of this afternoon ahead of this dinner in bellevue palace behind me talking to german business leaders and the interesting question will be what kind of guarantees he might get out of the german government to back up more german investment in turkey at this point in time so turkey wants or needs economic support from germany who want to germany want from turkey. well they have a lot of common territory by default i mean there's

a lot of talk about friendship or lack there of at this moment in time but they are essentially family they're culturally intertwined there's some three million either turkish citizens or german citizens of turkish descent or both here in the country and that is also a major constituency for and one they have joint strategic interests within nato but also when it comes to energy security the european union needs turkey and there is of course syria and turkey borders on syria that's where much of what became known as the migration crisis came from and the migration deal that the german chancellor struck with turkey is basically keeping her that problem pretty much off the euro spark for now so a lot of common interests and a lot of issues beyond the very heated debate but that we saw over press freedom that they both need to talk about ok so that there has been a lot of sort of diplomatic shouting over the last few months and indeed years does

this state visit this is signify a turning point in relations between the two countries no it doesn't and we heard that out of the german foreign ministry ahead of this visit at a softening in rhetoric which we've definitely seen from the turkish president who just a year ago also called on german voters not for a vote to vote under the marcos party or any of the major parties producer that really was seen as interference as a provocation he might be softening his tone but will he really change his ways and i think we saw quite quite clearly within the course of that press conference today that he is rather stupid in sticking with his course of turkey into potentially a more thorough tarion regime and that is something that the german chancellor is very worried about and now will be strategically interesting point in time will she use that economic leverage to get some concessions out. chief political adviser thank you. so how is the president obama got

so ready for tonight's state to. city center. protests till it's near potsdamer platz where there is not welcome protest going on a welcome shot that's what's to the protesters want. joining me is several thousand people all munching through the streets of the city center then heading towards. the jenin president's residence where he will haste president add one for a state banquet they see evening that route of course is deliberate people here want to bring that directly to the president out to one who will be at that banquet this evening now there are several dozen groups represented among the protesters here they're off for example kaddish activists they say that they are extremely angry concerned about attacks military offensive taking place against. militia in

syria they're also not of left wing protesters from within germany they say that they're concerned about a present at once increasingly or third terry rule that in a lot of chaunce here calling president out of one a dictator as some calling president add one factions there are also a number of people here represented from takis very large from jennie's very large takesh community here they are worried about what's going on back in turkey issues like press freedom we're hearing a lot about political prisoners and of coolest number of german political prisoners who are currently still behind bars in turkey so lots of people with lots of access to crime if i can put it that way i wonder do the protesters believe that germany is rising actually engaging with president obama. one thing that really unites all of these protests here regardless of which group that is an anger that he has been invited to a state visit to germany they say he think dictator should not be invited here by

the german government as a lot of a. they say germany is essentially well literally rolled out the red carpet for president ad when he has that state banquet as the evening he's been welcomed here with full military honors there is a lot of concern and that is simply not sending the right message though there was something i think that the dialogue is important and to see international for example pressed the german chancellor angela merkel to push everyone on issues of human rights she said that that's something that she's done but people we've spoken to here say that it's simply not going far enough and he is not welcome in the city one of the charges that we've heard is president add one get out of our city a shot shells and fill and downtown but then thank you. to the united states now where the senate judiciary committee has agreed to vote later on whether to put president trump's pick for the supreme court to a vote of the full senate some democrat members have walked out in protest of the way the nomination process is being handled despite this

a full senate vote on broad confidence nomination could happen as soon as next week today's session comes just twenty four hours after an explosive emotional hearing which christine blasi forward told committee members the top of the one trying to write but when they were teenagers then the committee listened to cover to refute allegations. that there's some more you're about senators questioned christine blousy forward and supreme court nominee kavanah in separate sessions over more than nine hours well brett kavanaugh and i were in high school. brett groped me and tried to take off my clothes. i believe he was going to rape me i'm not questioning that doctor ford may have been sexually assaulted by some person in some place at some time but i have never done this to her or to anyone that's not who i am it is not who i

was. i am innocent of this charge dr ford with what degree of certainty you believe brett kavanaugh assaulted one hundred percent one hundred percent how are you so sure that it was. the same way that i'm sure that i'm talking to you right now just basic memory functions so what you are telling us is this could not be a case of mistaken identity absolutely not the day of emotional testimony was not without elements if these are and attempts at political point scoring across the aisle this is the most an ethical sham since i've been in politics and if you really wanted to know the truth you sure as hell would have done what you've done to this guy are you a gang right this. no this

is not a job interview. this is hill this is this this is going to destroy the ability of good people to come forward because this crap your high school yearbook my friends and i spent the supreme court nominee appeared emotional throughout his testimony often on the very edge of tears. those are some all some women. minutes after brett kavanaugh left the president took to twitter right saying judge kavanah should america exactly why i know many to ten donald trump described kavin as testimony and spiritual honest and riveting he then called in the senators to vote. correspondent my show is on capitol hill in washington i asked her how she expects the today's vote to go . well just before the committee met this morning we got breaking news that

one of the senators who was considered a key swing vote who might swing this against kavanaugh was in fact going to vote yes so they are scheduled to vote in a few hours on whether or not to move his nomination to a full senate vote and it looks like at this point barring something else happening that that will actually go through and that as early as monday next week the full senate could vote on whether brett kavanaugh will be on the supreme court which weighs a vote like this ago. at this point it is looking like he could actually make it through despite what we saw yesterday despite the high emotions on the high drama of the hearing yesterday there are the republicans hold a very very slim majority in the senate right now and they really want to get this seat on the supreme court secured by a conservative jurist which brett kavanaugh definitely is if you look at his record

and so there they can spare the republicans in the senate can spare exactly who votes and there are two senators who look like they could be swayed based on what happened yesterday so we can imagine that their offices are being bombarded with calls by their constituents saying vote one way or vote the other so it will be a narrow vote but right now the mood is looking like he is actually going to be confirmed so you and i both watched yesterday's dramatic testimony how have people have been reacting to the scenes that unfolded. well your reaction to it really depends on what side of the aisle you fall on if you're a democrat or someone who says that they believe dr ford and these accusations against brett kavanaugh what you saw was a woman come forward with a lot of bravery and a lot of poison a lot of dignity and speak very credibly about something horrible that happened to her over thirty years ago on the other hand if you're someone who is

a republican and you believe wreck haven't all what you saw was a man who has been falsely accused of something terrible come forward and very effectively clear his name and we even saw a tweet from the president saying now you all see why i nominated wreck cavanaugh and he is an honorable man and he should be on the supreme court it really is an interesting diversion of views on this here in the u.s. for people who are very now very strongly are convinced that brett kavanaugh either should or should not be on the supreme court much later in washington thank you but as some of the other stories may be new guinea plane hit the water after missing the runway but help survivors to safety no serious injuries were reported. police in the netherlands arrested seven men suspected of planning a large scale terror attack heavily armed officers carried out raids across the country after a months long investigation or thought to save

a terrorist cell was headed by a thirty four year old iraqi male a previously convicted for attempting to join the islamic state militia group. you're watching news still to come to me as a high waves as we've way buildings in indonesia as a powerful earthquake triggered a tsunami. first. from the business desk with news of italy's problematics spending plans it's been a very interesting day on stock markets today here in europe especially in italy and a clash is in the making the european commission warning italy to rein in spending the populace government in rome agreeing to boost its budget the blonde stock exchange lost over four percent as investors panicked selling off italian assets. the new budget proposals dominating the headlines across italy today italy's populist government is planning a big increase in spending the country already has the second highest level in the

year is own after greece the governing five star movement and league parties say they will lower taxes and bring in income subsidies for the poor but the e.u. is concerned. that there we have no interest in triggering a crisis between the commission and italy italy is an important eurozone country but neither do we want rome to disrespect the rules and not reduce its debt which is explosive so not over whether the joke is that i am very worried about what is happening in italy. this economic maneuver is not for the people but against the people it will create problems in the north without solving those of the south it will not increase employment but will put italian savings in trouble and will increasingly put our country in the hands of creditors not only internal but also external. because the plunge new debt of two point four percent of g.d.p.

was pushed through by the leaders of the two governing parties matteo's of uni and luigi demaio overruling italy's more cautious finance minister he has pushed for a lower deficit to bring down the country's public debt the mood on the streets of rome is mixed. people because i'm confident because i feel for the first time we're doing something new. i'm very concerned you just need to look at the market this morning it's losing nearly three percent banking stocks are down five percent. the mainland stock exchange has certainly taken a beating and government bonds have also shot up. beating has been. joins us from. update us on the situation. yeah it got a whole lot worse actually banking stops the stocks didn't just drop five percent

may dropped down all the way to ten per cent at which point trading on the mainland it was suspended for these shares and you can see are the result of that also behind me the dax suffered minus one point five percent and it didn't recover all day neither did. it tell you. index well that's it is this the next euro crisis. it is italy is considered by many analysts the top threat for the european economy however let's say this is a warning shot they're not seeing the crisis go full on just yet if italy can stay within that three percent deficit limited by the e.u. and if it can continue its moderate growth which of course is more difficult if you have to refinance your debt and that's more difficult now who exactly is a heap more debt based on

a heap more spending what's brussels will do about that. brussels of course isn't happy about this deficit spending plan. most of it she said that much but it's probably not going to do very much based on history of at least it will look at the budget closely it may reject the budget of. the commission once but it's never done that before neither has it really fine companies in countries sorry for going over that three percent limit france has been getting away with it for nine years and spain and portugal were also spared. focused inputs with the latest from. teslas is taking a huge tumble the u.s. securities and exchange commission accusing chief executive of fraud is the seizes most knew or was reckless did not go and that he was misleading at best it's it all

started with a tweet. considering taking tesla private at four hundred twenty dollars funding secured this is the message test a c.e.o. elan musk tweeted to his twenty two million followers last month and here's the response of u.s. regulators who've charged him with fraud. musk statements misled members of the investing public to believe that it was virtually certain he could take tesla private at a price of four hundred twenty dollars per share which was a substantial premium over a share price at that time because funding for this proposed transaction had been secured and the only contingency remaining was a shareholder vote. the market reacted to this information and tesla star quickly traded out we allege that most statements were false and misleading because they lacked any basis in fact on the day of musts tweet last month test shares shot up

causing the nasdaq to suspend trading for an hour and i hop. that calls huge losses for so-called short sellers investors who borrow a company's stock betting that it will fall in a statement issued by tesla must called the allegations of fraud unjustified and said that he was taken action in the interests of his investors test shares fell nearly twelve percent after news of the fraud charges broke. more now on that developing story from indonesia feel bad thank you a powerful earthquake has rocked indonesia triggering a two metre tsunami dramatic footage has been posted online showing the tsunami hitting the city of politics on the island of so the way see at least two states he's afraid affected officials say houses have been washed away communications are being cut have also been a number of strong aftershocks. so let's get more from

correspondent ricardo perez a celera who joins us on the line from the indonesian capital of jakarta welcome to g.w. i what more can you tell us. slogan like well on the moment there are so many being a confirmation of several casualties after the last quake something of a turn on pipes and break them rock climbing known to the west the sun think this is a communications are down there can a power flush out in the area that is really making it difficult for the thirty under different eighty nations agencies doing all the bailouts of the damage and can you talk us through that the sequence of events because we're talking about to two quite powerful events first the earthquake and then the tsunami. for the employees i mean there are something very come on in the in this region in the in the in the ring of fire. for the perfect people. of the tsunami is that the

something that can happen that often i mean everyone can remember all avenues of housing and for a doctor saving event but what we have. talked it all the pages but you have to seen these images of that my model of water and pushing through all the infrastructure is. at the moment everyone is asking like what what did they do it in there because they think these aid agencies and they've got their management agency they don't really know there's they don't have contact with the people on the field. so tell us about the ways the which has been ahead by this tsunami what sort of place is it how on earth are just coping. so the two motorists it was real want are how do. you convince a couple of central sulawesi is relatively remote place but i mean still has

the region has a look population as it has two hundred fifty thousand people so it's not only circles what what our aren't they in the cities speaking of but certainly in the villages some of the smallest structures has been completely carried away by. so we're talking about a play that effectively could be called to reach. because it was important to remember indonesia is this this group of islands so it is that proving logistically difficult for authorities to get rescue and aid to so i said. well as i was saying before some of the agencies like the search and rescue agency that has already announced spending helicopters and about they cannot get in contact with their people on the field that doesn't happen that often. coming to usually. it's probably time for tomorrow then they communicate just could get back

on and everything will be working here but at the moment the problem is not so much how to research it for the information from the people to know what are exactly the needs are not what we wish you well thank you so much for joining us ricardo perez a sunny. thank you very much. that's it you're up to date i'll have more for you at the top of the hour in the meantime of course that's almost the bad side. of a good.

thank you come get busy week for the bundesliga small headline in six cisco ma-ma clips i make myself to be trounced by a man. whom shall i give to get back in the game console isn't a crime going to still bottom of the table with zero zero zero zero zero. zero zero to go. on to double. the contentious figure at home. in germany. gorbachev was one of the great heroes of the twentieth century mikhail gorbachev
