the twenty twenty two games which will make it the first country on the continent to hold on electric fans. i'm phil welcome to the program administration has been hit by another resignation this time u.s. ambassador to the united nations and he highly she appeared alongside president trump at the white house to confirm the move but gave away a little about her reasoning was haley is one of only a few original trump appointees left in his team and will step down at the end of the. the u.s. ambassador's resignation took many by surprise. nikki haley and u.s. president donald trump haven't always seen eye to eye but addressing the prince after the announcement the two were singing each other's praises nikki haley
10:02 pm
ambassador to the united nations has been very special to me she's done an incredible job she's a fantastic person that afternoon he was appointed to the u.n. post in november two thousand and sixteen prior to that she was the first female governor of south carolina. the forty six year old was seen as one of the most central figures in the trump administration last month she coordinated the president's second trip to the united nations including his first time chairing the security council as highly said surfing had been an honor but it was now time to move on i was governor for six years and we dealt with a hurricane a thousand year flood a church eating a school shooting of the mom and the comment and due to years of russia and iran and north korea it's been eight years of intense time and i'm a believer in term from think you have to be self was enough you know when you step on someone else to be the president trump made no indication as to who may replace
10:03 pm
haley in the role and but he said he would make a decision in the coming weeks. let's get more from d.w. washington correspondent at marsh why don't. you having been to this administration . well she was one of the few prominent women in the administration and especially on the fall on foreign policy side she was one of the only women who had any sort of visible role and this is an administration that has shown we say not traditionally been very progressive on women's issues so she was very much a figure head of she was also one of the few moderate republican voices within the team she is not a trump acolyte she is very much part of the establishment as we heard she was governor for six years before she joined the team and she was one of the few people who could really speak her mind to the president who could temper his more hard line in parts. absolutely it seems that the senior staff didn't know this was
10:04 pm
coming and even her own staff wasn't aware that she was going to make this announcement until this morning just before the news broke although the president heard did say that she had let him know about six months ago that she was thinking about making this move as she said she's a she's a believer in term limits she said she's done her two years it's time to move on and she was one of these people were sort of guess that maybe she would try to run against trump in the two thousand and twenty presidential election she has put that to bed it is unclear what's coming next for her although it is still very clear that she and trump have a very close relationship talk to us about the timing. definitely interesting timing here the u.s. has just wrapped up its turn as president of the u.n. security council for the past month and we also have the midterm elections coming up in a month this is something that's been hanging over the entirety of u.s.
10:05 pm
politics for the past year if not more. this really does harken back to the old days of the tribe of ministration if we can call it that what it seems like you someone was resigning every other minute and it adds to this picture of the administration looking in unstable less than a month out from these elections so how does nikki haley's departure how is that likely to affect u.s. foreign policy. well this will somewhat be answered when we know who the next person is who's coming forward and there have been a couple names floated around in the pipeline nothing confirmed at all yet but there is some fear from the establishment from the left wing that whoever is picked next will not be as moderate as haley has been and will be much more of a hard liner which could in fact push the u.s. even further to the right on the international stage and make for less room for negotiation in these tough diplomatic circumstances so much for
10:06 pm
a while since i think you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world the u.s. officials expect eric and michael to be a major category three storm when it hits western florida on wednesday one hundred twenty thousand people have been ordered to evacuate low lying areas this is what the hurricane looked like from a cruise ship off cuba last night. a former vice president of guatemala is being jailed for more than fifteen years for corruption roxana ball deathy and twelve others were found guilty of organizing a fortune and government contract or you were in fact anti corruption commission system that got him on the prosecutors about that he still faces further charges. moscow says it will not comment on the report that identifies the second suspect in the script case investigative website katz says the man who entered britain under the idea of the alexander petroff was in fact an intelligence officer named alexander. last month betting cat identified the other suspect as another
10:07 pm
intelligence agent. series of explosions have broken out at an arms depo in northern ukraine twelve thousand people were evacuated after the incident in the around one hundred seventy kilometers from kiev authorities also closed the air space around the site it's the second six major fire in three years training and. i suspected taliban suicide bomber in afghanistan has killed a candidate in forthcoming parliamentary elections as well as seven other people this is the latest in a series of attacks by bomb taliban insurgents opposed to the election. he says it will search the saudi consulate in istanbul say to investigate the disappearance of the journalist jim out because shogi was last seen entering the building a week ago so do with offices of granted permission following an international outcry was to can show he has been
10:08 pm
a vocal critic of the kingdom and investigators believe he was murdered inside the building. this is where the shockey we seen for the last time a c.c.t.v. camera captured the moment when he entered the consulate the saudis say the fifty nine year old left shortly afterwards one week later they've invited turkish police to search the building but protesters outside the consulate suspect that the saudis spirited away. some arab officials and at the same time some turkish officials we've talked to have said that the possibility that he was killed is very very high one way or another he was taken somewhere else we want the details. because shockey case is a political tightrope act for turkey many opposition figures from the arab world have sought refuge in the country. on monday president. urged the saudis to provide evidence that shockey hard actually left the consulate. words alone weren't
10:09 pm
enough he said. the affair is also casting a shadow on ties between washington and riyadh which was donald trump's first foreign destination after becoming u.s. president a key u.s. ally being accused of masterminding the killing of a refugee journalist right in the heart of istanbul isn't going to end well in washington i am concerned about i don't like hearing about it and hopefully that will sort itself out right now nobody knows anything about it this is a pretty bad story i do not like. a prominent critic of the kingdom's rulers had been in self-imposed exile since last year he went to the consulate to paperwork to marry his turkish fiance she waited in front of the building and never reappeared. what investigators focusing. well the key part of the
10:10 pm
investigation is ceased to fansub belong to the saudi consulate and the stamboul one of them was visible in the last image of. entering the consulate now according to turkish officials there is his belief that those fans were used to spirit away the dead or alive from the consulate now turkish security forces are now scouring c.c.t.v. even images of these fans and ball is has some of the most extensive c.c.t.v. coverage around of any city in the world and turkey had does have very sophisticated software for identifying and using these images now they are putting all that expertise to fall used to find out where those plans went and who the people were using them and also another key part of the investigation is these fifteen saudi officials that arrived on the day of disappearance they arrived in two private jets and they were scheduled to stay several days at a hotel left the same night on the same private jets which flew to riyadh via dubai
10:11 pm
and in cairo a lot of a lot of investigations on who those people were there is suspicion they could be part of some saudi team that was responsible for his this journalist disappearance or possible death although the saudis are insisting they have nothing to do with his disappearance this will be a difficult balancing act for turkey with saudi arabia being such a key regional player player. absolutely i mean both turkey and saudi arabia of two of the most powerful countries in the region they already have deeply strained relations which is having repercussions across the region so i think anchor realizes there has to play this quite carefully also saudi arabia is a key trading partner commies not include states in the shape at the moment so it will not want to jeopardize those trading links so ankara realizes it does have to tread carefully over this potentially explosive situation so do investigators still believe jamal khashoggi was murdered inside the saudi cultureless. well
10:12 pm
this will these two officials who have over the weekend have pointed fingers saying that they believe he has been killed now that hasn't been repeated in public by any turkish official since in fact the turkish president regev type heard the one on monday did not repeat those allegations over them stressing that they do takes the situation very seriously also we've been hearing in some pro-government media there is a question he could be still alive now has to be said behind the scenes so officials also briefing foreign journalists they may believe the most likely outcome is that he was killed so there's a lot of conflicting signs of memphis images coming out at the moment and i think that's indication of how difficult the situation on kurds in jordan jones in istanbul thank you. and more than thirty schoolgirls in the indian state of bihar have been taken to hospital after being beaten with sticks by a group of boys it happened on saturday police arrested ten people this is the
10:13 pm

unfortunately we were not able to achieve car free zones today but the court did acknowledge that creating such exclusion zones would be better than solutions that would lead to traffic the tours. at least eleven streets in berlin will have partial bans where levels of air pollutants are especially high around two hundred thousand car owners will have to take detours around the exclusion zones. as most of my zones traffic should be reduced in general they just have to see for themselves what it's like here you can barely get across the street. because of this cause or your plans if you know there are so many cars here it's a bit questionable whether the ban will really help if it is on a hot day should make the cars smarter then we wouldn't need any bands. and. diesel engines are the main reason for poor air quality in germany the pollutants they

risks as relations between the world's top two economies worsen other countries could get caught in the middle pakistan a key recipient of chinese infrastructure loans has called on the world's wonder of last resort for a bailout a move that could instant washington if i.m.f. money is used to pay off china. the prime minister consulted all the leading economists and after consulting with everyone he decided that we should begin talks with the i.m.f. program for stabilization and recovery on the basis of which we can control the economic crisis. program instability further go over there it's not alone in needing help argentina has taken on the biggest loan in the i.m.f. history turkey for its part is still rejecting i.m.f. aid despite its own crisis but it's in venezuela that the i.m.f.
10:22 pm
forecasts take on unimaginable dimensions said hyperinflation there could have ten million percent next year. and our financial correspondent joins us now yes the i.m.f. has made it very clear it is lowering growth based on moves initiated by the u.s. so how is the news playing out beth. well the i.m.f. is not necessarily famous for being super timely was their forecasts for example when the i.m.f. is talking about emerging markets like turkey like brazil like for instance to having a tough time that's not necessarily new is we've seen that for quite some time and then also the forecast is not super dramatic at least for this year we are still talking about matching globally. the biggest grows in about seven
10:23 pm
years and then a slight change in the forecast for next year and for this year the forecast for the u.s. actually still remains unchanged so there was not a big reaction here on wall street even if we traded slightly lower on this news all right yes do you think the president will take heed of what the i.m.f. had to say well probably not directly from what the i.m.f. has to say because the u.s. president donald trump is not a big fan of institutions like the i.m.f. but let's say that because of the trade policies because of higher tariffs more and more u.s. companies will suffer and maybe we will hear something like that in the next coming days and weeks because their earning season is about to kick off maybe you might consider there are some lobbying efforts on its way here in the united states from industry groups from big corporations so maybe that could make the president.
