england in an empty stadium all the details coming up. thanks for your company everyone well we begin this broadcast with some breaking news a turkish court has lifted the house arrest of u.s. pastor andrew bronson the ruling allows him to leave turkey immediately present it was arrested two years ago hasa special of having links to fits for the good then the cleric uncorrupt blames for the failed coup attempt back in twenty sixteen his attention has caused ties to fall apart between washington and ancora with both sides imposing tit for tat for tat penalties. all right let's get you the very latest on this developing story yulia han is on the ground in istanbul covering events for w. news and maya schrader joins us from our washington bureau you know i want to give

you the first word the pastor has been sentenced but we are here we reports he's read is already on his way back to the u.s. as we speak. yes after leaving court today he went home to his house in izmir end he now will leave for the u.s. as soon as possible on a u.s. military plane according to the reports why at germany he will have a medical evaluation at the u.s. air force base in germany and then finally had home to the u.s. he is able to do so because the court today lifted his house arrest and a travel ban he himself was quoted saying this is the day our family has been praying for so he must be incredibly relieved that this judicial ordeal that lasted about two years is over now for him but mrs a court said he wept as the decision

was announced but let me point this out turkish officials and turks pro-government media emphasize that he indeed was found guilty and sentenced to three years and one of the health months of jail time and that he just doesn't have to serve the time because he already spend one and a half years in jail i want to say that explains that verdict. us turkish bilateral relations are spiraled out of control over the detention of pastor bronson i mean they reached a a low point frankly now with this issue seemingly resolved at this stage will washington lift economic sanctions on turkey. it looks actually like that was exactly the key point here that got bronson released the u.s. agreed to lift the sanctions in exchange for him being allowed to go home and it looks like there are some reports that erda won and trump discussed this this negotiation the series of events that would take place as far back as june at this

nato meeting that occurred was not forget that the u.s. and turkey are allies in nato despite these ratcheted up tensions but it also was very important for turkey and politically it was very important for everyone to not look like that they were giving in to u.s. demands even though it could easily be assumed that was happening that the pressure from washington was just too much and they ended up having to release bronze and because of these tears because of the spiraling economy in turkey and therefore in order to put a better face on it for turkey they decided to set its into this time in prison to find him guilty still release him and sort of. compromise shall we say sure saving measure you want to give you the final word to thirty seconds left to why is formed is this a turkey's way of trying to come out from the cold. well as my already pointed out pressure on turkey was high this pastor brunson was

really at the heart of this dispute between the u.s. and turkey and all the up service here say that now this will at least pave the way for the two countries to mend ties even though it console that differ a differences that still remain but turkey really disputes really rejects the claim that there has been a deal and they really emphasize turkish courts are independent no deal has been struck this is a decision by independent turkish courts reporting from istanbul i'm irish writer in washington thank you both. i am going to stay in turkey because that country claims it has recordings of the killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi at the saudi arabian consulate in istanbul that's according to the washington post the u.s. newspaper writes that turkish officials have informed the trumpet ministration about the recordings because shogi who worked for the washington post is

a known critic of riyadh he has been missing since october second when he was last seen answering the consulate while the paper says onkar is wary of releasing the recordings because they would reveal that the turks spy on foreign governments inside their country. back here in germany alarm bells are ringing for the governing political parties an opinion poll out today shows support falling dramatically fortunes on the americans coalition government while voters in the state of bavaria look likely to up and the political status quo will have more on that opinion poll in just a moment but first we want to go to bavaria where the conservative c.s.u. has been the dominant party for much of the post-war period of the election of a very could also have implications for chance on the americal because the c.s.u. is part of her coalition government our reporters make a fair and mexico six went to varia to find out why voters appear to be shunning

the party that has ruled there for so long. once a year the top figures in bavarian politics gathered at the grave of hans he was a stalinist the man celebrated in something between the patron saint and godfather of modern bavaria. germany's interior minister hostin who is here too in berlin he's the troublemaker. government in bavaria the c.s.u. party leader is already. trying to distance himself from an expected election defeat calls for his head are getting louder. there's an expectation that you should take responsibility this sunday if this goes badly for your see if you party will you do that. this is an incident it's nice of people to

worry about these things but i didn't see a single election post with my face on it as i was driving up here. instead state premier marcos today is on the posters and in the spotlight he used to have a picture of francis of styles in his bedroom and still likes to quote him. there should be no space for democratic party is further right than us the far right ear of the campaign that strauss would have voted for them so he did for them became. the stars family has criticized c.s.u. leaders for failing to act against the rise of the far right they had even started adopting right wing rhetoric themselves it was hoping to take over as the sea issues new strongmen who have put a stop to that. here in lower bavaria many voters have long fled from the c.s.u. and gone further to the right. although the varian support

for the far right if d. is patchy the region of dec and or get around thirty percent in last year's general elections. making this line. around. the room is how i stay parliamentary group please everybody here the executive director thank you so much constituency i am very very much. he's come all the way for me but that is because you may need to read your election talk about much more. i'll use my liz he is supporting the if d's bavarian shooting star. is young traditional and i know apologetic about her key ambition.

justice will be the final nail in the coffin of the woman who wants to abolish germany until america thank often by our. in bavaria too spoilt illegal immigrants ninth great people and small villages and towns. during her speech she cites figures suggesting migrants are ten times as likely to commit violent crimes you cite just crime statistics we are not aware of those where exactly did you get them from the us. that is the official police statistic processed by our chief superintendent who is also a member of parliament. this is to stick she quotes do not come to this conclusion fear is the driving force for many here tonight you. can no longer let my kids out on the street on their own what i see on t.v. or hear on the radio. just can't do it anymore this is for. help.

the main issue is security i have children and were really afraid for our children and. that's the mood marco suit is up against as he faces the deck and off crowd hear hear knowledge is he can't stop a broad populist movement preaching the very. sweet. wind of change blowing across europe and the challenges established institutions. and that spirit of change doesn't stop at germany's borders not it various borders it's sweeping across our country. to figure out a very heirlooms large over the october fest generally a politics free zone but the state election is being fought in the name of defending what it celebrates best and bavarians whole first year. i.

i i i. i learned parties good quality of life. time outs. and then being happy i took the fast. the i was in this area like the rest of germany emotions run high as soon as it comes to migration you see ross is here the migration debate is that made me feel that this area's global. housing brewery has been in the family of lot to turfing yet and for more than five hundred years. german purity law makes sure the beer recipes are as old as the traditions behind them the great concern here is that nationalism could threaten business.

if people also try me. here i want them to think of a beautiful country i want them to think of different kinds of people i want them to think of cultural traditions i don't want them to think of violence and hate and racism these things like this so we have to watch wake up and what's going on and this cannot continue. visitors from around the world have been welcome at the abbey of auto boy for more than a thousand years. i'm going to america is expected here today there are demonstrations against but also for her a fixture since what became known as the migration crisis in twenty fifteen. it's her only joint appearance with conservative top candidates mark. merkel calls

for confidence in being german as an antidote for fear of others there's a lot of those and those who are no longer aware of their own foundations of course don't know how to integrate others and in this debate about islam i sometimes get the sense that some may have become jealous that others are living their religion while we forget ours against. the very near lections used to be coronation style transfers of power but marco sudan knows he faces a fight in sunday's elections. believe me it's currently we're seeing something totally different here in germany you know people should be happy and content because things have never been better in germany i mean. despite that strong economy the public are unhappy and turning away from the scene as you in both directions current polls predict the greens could become the various second strongest political force and could well join the c.s.u.

led government the top candidates see themselves as living proof that a left wing alternative for germany is possible by either to ensure the smart on this area have a great martyr to live and let live and i think that sums it up perfectly and of course we're open to the world where pro europe and we want to stay that way and i believe the citizens of the very down the politicians are not there is spreading hate and fear. on hustlin hits afresh. here in munich like the whole of europe. politicians are struggling to understand the new public discontent many feel a new right wing mainstream. refuses it is open to the world which has been very in seoul about how we should behave we don't need those nazis. the nazis to put on it. what we need to do sponsored the gap between rich and per year

in germany and the rest of the world but i don't think the fourteenth of october will get us any closer to that. or focused first time in german post-war history this very an election campaign smacks of pro change sentiment at the very least that's expected to blow away the interior minister. but it could also deal another blow to her own grip on power. all right let's cross over now to max or kosik who is outside to see a serious final campaign a rally max good to see you parties are making their final pitch ahead of sunday's the state election and polls predict that america's various departed could lose their my juror majority how nervous are the c.s.u. right now. well the sydney bros at the big guns tonight here at the live in the middle of munich it's one of the mesa stablished additional brewery houses in the

capital of the bavarian states and they've invited nobody less than the only chance that sebastian codes to join them in their final campaign rally the lead candidate marco souter and the party leader who will see her for who is also the german federal interior minister here in berlin and yet they're quite nervous of course because as current polls suggest he sees you could face historically quite bad results currently polling at around thirty five percent which is far far away from top results they had in the history of their. it was sixty. almost single party rule in bavaria and so yeah they're trying to now mobilize their electorate and tomorrow is the last day where they actually can do that on friday that's not allowed anymore and they also said today ahead of their campaign event that tomorrow they want to go back to the streets and get everybody to they come all right now all let's talk about numbers are you already brought it back so this

election comes as findings of a nationwide opinion poll show that the traditional parties are losing voters to the greens and the far right let's take a quick look at the numbers right now in the poll say that if the entire country were to vote today a chance to anglo-american conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. bloc would get twenty six percent of the votes down three points from september the social democrats the junior party in the coalition would be at fifteen percent the greens in contrast with stand to gain three points with seventeen percent of the vote and the far right would be unchanged on sixteen percent mark so you know hearing these numbers seeing is these numbers what's causing this shift in the german political landscape. where when you stephen over the summer over the last six months where the german grand coalition government came into place this is something we always have to remember that the current government has been governing

for six months and these six months how i've been. see i have been facing a lot of crisis is actually. contributed to by the federal interior minister whole super who is the had of the seas you party here in the various and this has a really did the confidence of the electorate in dick grand coalition and have them look to alternatives for once on the right as the far right a fifty and also to the other side to the greens which is after the f.t. the second largest opposition in the german parliament and also is here in. the various become the potentially the second strongest party in the government max the curse of reporting from outside the c.s. used. temp ain rally thank you so very much. all right now to some of the other stories making news around the world. pope francis has accepted the resignation of prominence cardinal all of a prominence cardinal in the wake of

all right some football now for you and three months ago croatia and england were playing in a world cup semifinal in front of almost eighty thousand fans tonight they meet in very different circumstances there will be no frowns at all this is because of a stadium ban imposed on croatian fans after a swastika was cut into the pitch at a previous game both teams agree the nation's league will be an eerie experience. it was supposed to be an empty come coming croatia take on england in their first home match since reaching the world cup final later on friday but there won't be a single fan in the stands. it will be very hard to play without our fans but what can we do we have to accept it and play as best as possible and achieve a good result. has got to go but as with the. supporters of banned from attending

the match after a swastika symbol was carved into croatia pitch ahead of a previous match against italy. so advantage england coach karen southgate isn't convinced. it means that corrie should get the energy the. support can give you those moments where you're on the pressures of teams it will be different definitely whether it's an advantage to know friends or not croatia are in need of a win after a six nil drubbing at the hands of spain in their previous nations league match. but face an england side out for revenge after losing to croatia in the semifinals of the world cup. so plenty on the line for both teams in this clash even if nobody's watching. are right how has the week been ending on the inside as a lark and very mixed and we're also at an end weight wall street stocks jumped into early trading on friday recovering some of the losses from a three day rout

a few minutes into the session the dow was up over one percent on the final day of a volatile week but it's slowly losing ground the small recovery is thanks to powerful earnings reports by leading banks j.p. morgan chase wells fargo and citibank they all reported higher profits and said the u.s. economy is strong at a code comments by the treasury secretary he said fundamentals is solid and cold this week's losses and natural correction in a high market. that's what frank traders think out very young conrad blues in is at the stock exchange conrad that graph behind you looks full of doubt. absolutely investors here in germany remain very doubtful and i think also in the united states too much optimism isn't warranted either despite today's recovery of the dow jones the s. and p. five hundred and the nasdaq index on

a weekly scale all of those leading share indices in the united states are still down around about four percent and those banks which reported their earnings today yes they came up with higher profits but in terms of guidance what they have what they had to say was rather underwhelming so it's probably a good idea for investors to stay alert now market turbulence is not good for a company going public is it. that's true but we saw an i.p.o. here today in frankfurt it was the second biggest i.p.o. of this year the name of the company is no it's an expert for brake systems and steering systems for large trucks and for railway trains for all billion euros worth of shares were sold here at today's demand was very high despite this being such a shaky week on the markets and despite the fact that nothing of the four million
