>> welcome back. you are watching "live from "france 24. i am laura cellier. blames kurdishan militants. 4 people have been arrested. the last and for hillary clinton and bernie sanders. expecting a big turnout even after reports that clinton has only clinched a good french bank societe generale ordered to pay millions of euros for unfair dismissal.

bank 5 million euros in unauthorized trades. laura: we begin this hour in istanbul and the fourth major bombing to hit that city this year. seven police officers and 4 civilians were killed after a car bomb went off in rush hour. there has been no claim of responsibility, but turkish president recep tayyip erdogan has suggested the involvement of kurdish militants. 4 people have been arrested according to turkish media get kate moody has more. kate: police patrol a security perimeter set up around the side of the tuesday explosion istanbul. investigators have made some arrests as they hunt for the perpetrators, while local residents and shopkeepers clean up the damage. >> the damage to our store is

the most -- is not the most important thing. there should not be any more terrorist attacks in our country. damn them. we would be ready to give up our shops if our lives were safe. kate: at the hospital, president recep tayyip erdogan arrived hours after the blast. he vowed to continue turkey's fight against terrorism and put kk. finger on the p president erdogan: this is a struggle that will continue until the end of the world. the fight against terrorism isn't close to being over. the important thing is to minimize these attacks. police forcesnd are carrying out this fight together and will continue to do so. rip through surrounding buildings and morning rush hour. the bombs were remotely detonated in a major tourist attraction. violence in the country has escalated in recent months, with

the islamic state group and kurdish militants carrying out attacks. tora: earlier i spoke someone from the tricky institute who told us more about erdogan's battle with kurdish separatists. >> the local court imposed a protest been --broadcast ban after the attacks so our informations are a bit limited. we know the two-year-old case where the pkk broke down last summer and after that there is an operation against the pkk. also those cannot be pardoned, but a great many people living in turkey have a big question mark in their minds how this happens after the adp lost the parliamentary majority.

which group,that, thatr the turkish group calls itself so-called isis state. laura: renew to violence with kurdish separatists. there have also been of course several tax by the islamic state group. we have literally millions of syrian refugees inside turkey. this is a country really battling security that's on many levels now. ahmet: yes, that is correct. in 2 days come as you mentioned, 7 officers in the center of istanbul died, passed away, and the region is very vulnerable -- veryich is near close to the underground station. time, turkey is part of the coalition against isis on

the coalition claims to use its territories. many groups claim -- nothing is certain yet, and the broadcast ban, so we don't know yet who will be responsible about the issue. laura: to the u.s. now, and hillary clinton is playing down reports that she has reached the number of delegates she needs to secure the democratic party nomination for president. the associated press news agency says clinton has clinched it, making her the first woman in u.s. history to represent a major party's bid for the white house. she says there is still work to do. six states including california and new jersey head to the polls tonight. this report on what has been an extraordinary primary season. reporter: primary season is coming to an end. democratic party voters in six u.s. states are going to the polls, including here in new jersey.

california is voting as well. delegates are up for grabs. that is 20% of the total needed delegates for the nomination. delegates alone, 806 will be attribute it to either bernie sanders or hillary clinton. but even if it is expected to be a tight race in several tuesday states, the associated press has been declaring clinton the winner since monday. ms. clinton: i got to tell you, according to the news we are on the brink of an historic, historic, unprecedented moment. but we still have work to do, don't we? reporter: reports say clinton has gathered the necessary delegates to become the country's first woman nominee. the official nomination won't come until the democratic convention in july. bernie sanders hopes if he wins a big state like california and

of superdelegates who are free to vote for whom they choose switch their vote from clinton to him, he will be in a position to challenge the front-runner. senator sanders: as of today we have won primaries and caucuses in 20 states across this country. and tomorrow in the most important primary in the hole democratic nominating process, we are going to win here in california. reporter: tuesday's vote marks eight years to the day since clinton withdrew her bid for the white house in the 2008 race against barack obama. but for now, sanders refuses to do the same. laura: let's get more on the story now, let's go to the united states. a professor of political science at augustana college. thanks for being with us here on "france 24." as you saw, this race is still going on, according to bernie

sanders. he is not stepping down anytime soon, it seems. pretty worrying for hillary clinton. polls show that fewer than half of his supporters will vote for clinton when it comes down to it. will she be able to win them over? >> i believe hillary clinton clinton will be able to get enough of the sanders supporters on her site to make a good run and perhaps beat donald trump in the fall. what lots of viewers need to remember is that this is very early in the process even though it seems like things are winding down, and that the process for the general election is very, very different than what is found in the primary race, when people are fighting for the nomination. laura: why is he staying in the race, do you think? christopher: right now bernie sanders publicly says he is staying in the race because he sees a number of avenues to get the nomination. the reality is that that is just about not going to happen in any way, him getting the nomination. i think the real reason bernie

sanders is staying is to keep his voters and supporters engaged and also to try to be the spearhead, the leader of this movement of much more of a progressive wing of the democratic party, and to be able to get some of those issues on the party platform and influence of potential clinton presidency. laura: she has got a pretty divided democratic party at the moment. republicans, you could say, are looking even worse. mitch mcconnell, the u.s. senate republican leader, is the latest senior republican to really late into donald trump for recent comments he made. christopher: republicans are worried that donald trump and his continued statements and various actions he has taken that have been labeled as racist and even by people like palm wine -- paul ryan and top ranking republicans, can really hurt them in the fall when it comes to congressional races as well as other races up and down the board.

we see them trying to figure out ways to maintain support for their party's presumptive nominee while also distancing themselves so that they can have the wiggle room as they move into the fall for the many other races that will be on the ballot. like this do spats play well for clinton? do they help her? christopher: i believe things of this nature would help hillary clinton as she tries to solidify support on the left, where she can point to donald trump and even tell some of those "bernie theyst" people come as like to label themselves, that they need to take second look at the situation in comparing her to a possible trump presidency and consider throwing their support behind her as they move into the fall. she may be able to use this as a point of leverage. laura: christopher witt, thanks very much indeed. christopher: thank you. laura: from the u.s. election to the brexit referendum now, and

pulls .2 growing support for britain leaving the european union. a television debate will be aimed at winning over the last undecided voters. who spent 20 years campaign for britain to cut ties with brussels, will be against the prime minister david cameron. cameron called the referendum amid pressure from his own party but he is making the case for britain to remain. the referendum is less than three weeks away. gauging which way britons will vote in the u.k. referendum has been any pollster's guess. an online survey for "the times" newspaper and a telephone pole for "the daily telegraph" shows aleader for the remain cap -- campaign. conservative prime minister david cameron joined rivals from the labor, liberal democrat, and

green parties, to seek support for britain to stay in the youth. while a peddle fantasy politics, in the real world the economy is slowing because of the real uncertainty over britain's future. it is unacceptable for them to continue to dodge questions. they are performing and economic con trick on the british people. reporter: as he campaigns to win over voters, to be availing uncertainty is causing uncertainty in financial markets, with the british -- british pound on wha monday calling 1% against the dollar. reporter no -- >> no country the size of the united kingdom has ever left such an integrated economic union. in other words, there is no precedent to look back upon and draw some lessons. we are in uncharted territory here. reporter: trade unions are also

urging a vote for the stay cap, warning that a brexit would threaten worker rights. how the pendulum swings on referendum date is likely to come down to voter turnout. laura: earlier i spoke to our london correspondent. she told us more about the format for tonight's encounter. reporter: they will be appearing live for one hour, 30 minutes each. they will be questioned by the audience, not by each other. and nigel farage will go first, then prime minister david cameron. it is clear that david cameron is there to very much for the position of remain, and nigel farage will be putting the brexit position forward. the problem for the leave camp, the pro-brexit camp, is that he, farage, is not officially part

of the campaign. what we are just witnessing just before the debate is for the first time in the united kingdom someone challenging given cameron, the prime minister, to a proper face-to-face debate after his claim during a hastily convened press conference earlier today, the prime minister's claim that the out campaign are telling untruths. he didn't say the word "lies" but he says they are telling untruths about the eu membership. all eyes will be on this debate -- not a face-to-face, but there will be 2 separate sessions. it will be interesting to see whether on sky news there will be a hostile audience particularly towards the prime minister, because what the risk is is that this is turning into an eu referendum into the popularity of the prime minister, not actually on the substance. laura: the french banks a

citation a row has been ordered to -- the french bank societe generale has been ordered to pay jerome kerviel millions of euros. employer 5 million euros to date but today a french labor court ruled that the bank had no right to fire him because he did not intend to harm his employer could the bank plans to appeal, calling today's decision scandalous. mark thompson has more. mark: another twist in france's largest banking scandal. sociéte chanterelle -- sociéte generale fired jerome kerviel. >> what is important is that the decision is the first victory for him and creates a sort of doubt. mark: the bank has been ordered to pay kerviel 450,000 euros in damages. it includes a bonus that dates

back to 2007, and 100,000 euros for unfair dismissal. kerveiel was given a five-year sentence in 2010 after being convicted of forgery and computer abuse after amassing 5 billion euros in hidden traits before the global financial crisis. satiety --2008, societe generale accused him of conducting secret transactions and losing the bank's money. he was released after less than five months in prison and claims that they were well aware of his investments even though he was found solely responsible. kerviel's lawyers says the verdict has one apart the story that his former employer presented from the beginning. whichre is a pending case its that societe generale, could not have happened this way because they knew about it. mark: sociéte chanterelle

responded by calling the ruling scandalous and saying that they plan to appeal against the decision. iraq now and a u.n. report which makes allegations of torture and human rights abuses by government-backed troops. security forces have been battling to retake the city of falluja from the islamic state group. hundreds of civilians, many bearing marks of torture, were released from falluja on monday, and some of them they they were saved by government-section shiite militias. one of those groups denies detaining civilians. inside the city center, meanwhile, isis fighters are holding some 50,000 civilians captive. the militants are accused of opening fire on civilians trying to flee the city. there is still no definitive result following presidential elections in peru. with 95% of votes counted, the former world bank economist has a tiny lead over his rival. the daughter of the former

dictator is gaining ground and there is as little as 48,000 votes between them. support for the woman hoping to become the country's first female leader has been trickling in from remote rural areas. now a gigantic waterfall which appears to cascade from the sky has been installed in the palace of versailles. it is one of several works by a danish icelandic artist. it is the latest -- he is the latest modern artist to take residence of the palace for the summer. his works can be seen until october 30. he is speaking about his exhibition earlier. i'm always nervous, to be honest, about showing my work, anywhere, really. i had an exhibition in a kindergarten not so long ago and i was really nervous for them. course, has had

several exhibitions already. i'm excited about being in this program. working with difficult -- they have worked with difficult people like myself before so i wasn't too worried. laura: all right, let's get some business news. markus karlsson is back with us in the studio. hi there. we'll start with saudi arabia because the regime is trying to figure out ways to make the economy less dependent on oil. markus: indeed, saudi arabia is one of those countries that has taken a hard hit in the past couple years. we have seen oil prices come down for more than $100 a barrel to around $50 a barrel, where they are sitting at the moment. saudi arabia has high ambitions with a new plant to basically revive its economy. 400 50,000 create new jobs outside the public sector between now and 2020. that is a bit to prepare for the millions of new people who stopped jobhunting and possibly years. -- in the past couple years.

reporter: this is saudi arabia's that for the future, a vast industrial complex dedicated to transforming this pink rock into aluminum bars. the country since on a vast untapped reservoir of boxed set, which means it could keep production costs low. we are already approaching it now. wasrter: for decades mining neglected in the country but now it is part of a broad economic plan to become less dependent on oil revenue. >> we aspire to raise the level of investment in mining exploration from a baseline of $50 million a year, which is very low, to $500 million by 2020. reporter: this national transformation plan aims to boost non-oil related income to $141 billion by 2020 and create as many as 450,000 private sector jobs. is not the only way that

the saudi government is counting on raising funds. non-oil revenue is often expected to come from a new taxes oned tax, sin sweepings and tobacco, and fees imposed on the private sector. while the government says income taxes are out of the question, it is also planning on public sector cuts as well as slashing water and electricity subsidies. saudi arabia's turn away from oil revenue has been exploded by the sudden drop in global crude , which produced a $100 billion deficit last year. markus: from the saudi economy to the euro zone economy, it picked up pace faster than previously estimated in the first order. growth was revised higher in the fourth quarter of 2015. that is from the initial growth, of .5% according to the european union statistics agency. the economy grew by .2% during the same period.

the eurozone economy got off to a good start in 2016 but they say rising oil prices and a strengthening euro complicateds the outlook. we will bring you up-to-date with the stock market and in the united states, the dow and the s&p 500 are heading higher this session. though thehe nasdaq, nasdaq is lacking someone. energy shares are among the leaders. brent and of uti settled at $50 a barrel for the first time at $50 awti settled barrel for the first time since july. the nasdaq only of marginally so. european stocks also got a boost from the rising oil prices and all the three main indices on this side of the atlantic ended with gains could investors digested signals from the head of the u.s. federal reserve yesterday when janet yellen was seen to push off an interest rate hike to later this year. the ftse 100 off by .2% while
