are brought before in istanbul court. they are guilty of supporting the failed military coup earlier this month. the crackdown has a ready seen more than 18,000 people to attain to continues. i'm sarah kelly, thank you for joining us. how can you put into words the horror of the holocaust? it is a question the struggle -- the world has struggled with for generations. the pope opted to a completely silent visit to the site. more than one million people were killed during world war ii. >> silence is how pope francis chooses to face the suffering endured behind these gates over 70 years ago.

silence at the inhumanity of the crimes committed. silence as a mark of respect for the more than one million people, mostly jews, who the nazis killed here. after working through the notorious gates, the pope sits alone. in contemplation and prayer. he meets survivors of nazi germany's largest concentration camp including 74-year-old eva laumlauf. and he pays respects at the death wall where thousands of political prisoners were executed.

then into the cell of a polish franciscan monk who volunteered to die in the place of a stranger. he was later made a saint. and then following the tracks the transported trains packed with prisoners to the gas chambers, he makes his way to the center of the slaughter. a memorial marks the end of the railway lines where the crematorium once stood. here, he meets some of the righteous among the nations. 25 that risked their lives to help hide and protect jews during the holocaust. it is that spirit of compassion,

empathy, and sacrifice that pope francis is promoting. a message she is taking out of the death camps into a world that sorely needs it. sarah: let's turn to the united states were the democratic national convention is over and hillary clinton is the party's nominee for president of the united states. with both parties conventions out of the way, it is full steam ahead to election day in november. what can we expect from the campaign trail? first, a look at some of the policy positions of both clinton and trump. senator clinton: we will strike

their sanctuaries from the air and support local forces taking them out on the ground. we will surge our intelligence so we detect and prevent attacks before they happen. mr. trump: we must work with all of our allies that share our goal of destroying isis and stamping out islamic terrorism and doing it now. doing it quickly. secretary clinton: i believe when we have mayans of hard-working immigrants contributive to our economy, it would be self-defeating and inhumane to try to kick them out. mr. trump: we are going to build a great order wall -- border wall to stop illegal immigration. to stop the gangs and the violence. and to stop the drugs from pouring into our communities.

secretary clinton: donald trump can't even handle the rough-and-tumble of a presidential campaign. he loses his cool at the slightest provocation. a man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons. mr. trump: after 15 years of wars in the middle east, trillions of dollars spent, thousands of lives lost, the situation is worse than it has ever been before. this is the legacy of hillary clinton. death, destruction, terrorism, and weakness. sarah: i am joined in the studio by clare richardson. it we heard a little bit of the rhetoric coming out of both of these conventions from the republicans and democrats. what have we witnessed?

what can you tell us? >> what you have just seen here is a small slice of what's to come. we are going to see the democrats pushing a message of hope, that it will be to continue the policies of obama and try to make america a great place. republicans are looking to make america great again, meaning, to the past. we saw during his speech, a message of fear, looking at the crime and violence and highlighting elements to give him a platform to say he's going to be the law and order candidate. sarah: 101 days until election day. what are we going to see in the next couple of months? is this a battle of who can be the most sensational? how does this work?

>> it is going to be bitterly divided. it positions are very entrenched at this point, so they will be battling it out for the last people that haven't decided yet. saying the temperament, donald trump calling her crooked hillary and trying to use her experience over the past few days to turn it against her. >> neither candidate particularly popular. what does it mean for voter turnout in the country? >> clinton is distrusted and seen as dishonest. not to try to reconcile this image that she has with the public but to say i don't mind if you think that i'm dishonest,

but let's acknowledgment by far the most qualified candidate. the most qualified candidate ever, more than himself. and turning to donald trump and look at this guy. wake up, what are you thinking? this man that build his career on scamming the poor and not paying his workers. what makes you think he's going to turn around and be a champion? >> she is a woman and a lot of fire -- people fired up. how much is elected hillary clinton and how much of it is about electing the first woman president? >> americans are really ready to see a female president. that's where she gets may be the strongest base of her support and it is something you seen her emphasize last week.

they got buried underneath. it is definitely a huge sticking point. you saw the choice of tim kaine that they are trying to reach out to the white male vote. she had the option of an all-female ticket with elizabeth warren or the first black vice president like cory booker but she went with the relentlessly optimistic but very likable from both sides tim kaine. >> donald trump is tapping into this feeling of disenfranchisement. a lot of people don't want an establishment candidate. talk to me about these candidates that have sprung up in the wake of this.

>> it has been a race of outsiders. now you see an establishment candidate like hillary clinton, a vote for eight more years of the obama administration or trump who is of the two major outsiders. who's no longer in the race, but people who previously supported sanders are looking at alternative options like jill stein or perhaps a libertarian party. those parties aren't going to win the presidential election, but certainly if those voters hillary clinton needs goes to a third-party candidate, it could be bad news for the democrats. in other news, the turkish president is pushing back against criticism of the sweeping purges in the aftermath of the failed coup.

they say the crackdown was harming the fight against the so-called islamic state. the military officers were working closely with the midwest. they tried to overthrow him. his comments come amid a massive purge that has widened this week. police are preparing for a major rally. there are fears that there could be clashes. they are seen as supporters. >> there is no room for confusion here.

we will drink and shower in your blood. one of several brutal threats that the club has received since the attempted coup. accused of being linked to the turkish preacher, calls for a boycott and a list of members has been published. we were extremely shocked. it has a worldwide work of educational establishments with about 30 schools and 150 tutoring organizations in germany. it's unclear who is behind the threats. there have been death threats, insults, hate mails, calls for informers. there has also been property damage and stones have been thrown. the movement rejects the

accusations that it is connected to the coup attack in turkey. meanwhile, the turkish government has demanded they be extradited to turkey. it is something german politicians have unambiguously refused. >> we certainly won't be extradited anyone to the turkish regime on his request, especially given that turkey is seriously considering reintroducing the death penalty. our response will be a cool rejection of his demands. >> they want to show the support publicly. a rally of 30,000 people is expected in cologne and the critics are planning counter demonstrations. the split in turkish society has very much arrived in germany.

sarah: he played 120 times for germany and won the world cup for his country. why is he calling it a day? back in a minute. don't go away.

sarah: welcome back. the u.s. has issued concerned about a plan for people to leave the city of aleppo. he u.n. has asked russia to let them manage the core doors to reassure the population. u.s. officials have said that russian u.s. cooperation could break apart if the plan turns out to be a ruse. some have suggested the initiative might be a plan to make fighters surrender and depopulate the city.

the u.n. says 250,000 people are trped under the siege and bombardment of aleppo. the envoy for syria had this to say. >> how can you expect people to want to walk through a corridor door? thousands of them while there is shelling, bombing, fighting. how do you expect convoys of humanitarian aid to reach those people if they are shelling and bombing from the air and from the ground. sarah: meanwhile, a maternity hospital has been bombed in an air raid causing casualties. the charity supports the hospital. the observatory for human rights confirms the attack. it is not yet known if the rain -- the raid was carried out. earlier, we spoke with a doctor

from save the children. he is based in turkey and regularly works inside syria. he had more details. >> targeting the main entrance of their facility, people usually wait for the women delivering in the facility. a number of injuries, we don't have an exact number of injuries at the moment. we are talking about at least 10 people. they went to the ground floor of the hospital. one midwife was attempting a delivery at that moment. >> a change of pace, heading for business news. we're here with the latest.

>> the news is just out. [indiscernible] aimed at cleaning up balance sheets. cord knitting a test of 51 lenders and the results show there was still more work to do to put banks on firmer footing. >> they represent 70% of the banking business. banks from portugal and greece. the u.s. government had been very obliging when it comes to helping them shed the office.

$400 billion in 2008. it was 150%. assets of the top 10 european banks. today, it-- $870 billion. some economists say the hard times are not over yet for europe's banks. >> they have low interest rates or negative interest rates. they have much tougher regulation. and it is affecting business models. i'm afraid it will be hard times for the next five years or so. >> u.s. banks made $60 billion profit in the first half last

year. twice as much as european institutions. >> the official results of stressors are out. no german banks failed. shares shot up in advance of this release. rebounding after results this week. the imf called it the worst threat to the world's banking sector. stocks surging after being down in profits. withstanding the ability for economic shocks. to help boost european shares in general this friday. ecb has approved a lifeline for one of the lenders. the financial institutions are overloaded with bad loans. it is a debt pile of 47 billion

euros. they have received approval. fun for doubtful assets. the u.s. economy is growing more slowly than expected. the second-quarter growth rate will equivalent to 1.2% annually. there wasn't any growth, consumer spending shot up by a full 4% in the second quarter. the company is much more cautious. they slammed the brakes on investment. they see the u.s. economy performing below expectations. no wonder the federal reserve didn't go for an interest rate hike.

>> at this point, it might be a little silver lining. it might be some expectation that we might see a pickup in the u.s. growth in the first or third quarter. the switch a huge disappointment. the stronger darl or -- dollar probably hurt corporations. oil prices, by the way, in the past month down by a good 14%. you already mentioned the federal reserve. it did not change interest rates this week and it will probably also not do so in september and it will put pressure on the dollar.

>> politics also play a huge role in the economy. the gop and dnc have made their official nominations. who is more popular? trump or clinton? among investors. >> overall, i would probably say wall street is a little bit more in favor of hillary clinton but it really depends who you ask. it's like a fish tank. there are all kinds of hedge fund managers there. it is a pretty conservative crowd and people over here say everybody but hillary but if you look at the hedge fund managers, it is a different story. it have new data on friday. mostly hedge funds, actually gave about $48 million salary

hillary clinton and only 90,000 dollars to donald trump. a lot of people over here believe you know a bit more about what hillary might do then what would be the case with donald trump. les and certainty with hillary clinton and that's why overall, she is favored a bit in the financial industry. sarah: one of germans legends is leaving the game. the 31-year-old took to twitter asking the german team coach not to play you anymore. he first made his mark in munich and played a crucial role at the wind at the world cup.

>> he made his announcement early on friday. he mentioned the highlight of his career. 's career started in 2004. the high point was winning. the midfield mastermind loved playing for his country. >> he defined the german national football team as well as german football itself. it was a pleasure for him to play with us. >> he rose to fame, helping the club attain eight titles. a handful of german cups and the

biggest prize, the champions league. he played a total of 17 years at the club. over the past few years, he's been plagued with injury. with speculation over his thomistic future, fans will have to wait and see if he enters the pitch in england or elsewhere. >> you are up-to-date. thank you for tuning in.
