wherever you are tuning in from right around the world this hour welcome to moscow and to our to international on the economy our top story turkey is ready to abandon the u.s. dollar in its international trade president gave a defiant speech after donald trump's latest chart of sent the turkish currency into a tailspin. we are preparing to use our own national currency with our biggest trading partners such as china russia and ukraine if european countries want to get away from the u.s. dollar then we are ready to set up such a system as well. the turkish leader went on to say about his country needs to look for a new friends alliances and he also appealed to citizens to sell their u.s. dollars and buy turkish lira to defend the currency in the wake of trump's punitive trait measures. i have just authorized

a doubling of tariffs on steel and on the menu with respect to turkey as their currency the turkish lira slides rapidly downward against our very strong dollar and the mini moon now be twenty percent and still fifty percent our relations with turkey are not good at this time well the traces back to turkey's refusal to release an american posture accused of being involved in a failed coup two years ago a move that i'm good many in washington the countries are also at all over turkey's purchase of russian military and missile defense systems they have clashed over strategies in the war against islamic state in syria and in iraq the former turkish ambassador to the united states told us no one stands to gain from a trade war between the two countries. but is a trades. fight going on certainly hurts turkish interests but the local people in the us i don't feel very good about these are steps taken by the

truckload ministration hurting the american economy not in the short run certainly in the media my new little run i think it is not just a turkish american problem grouping and also uncomfortable with these steps being taken by the united states what these steps are telling us is that there is a need for a very deep transformation of the international trading system these problems are pushing that turkey or tipping more other alternatives and this means mostly getting closer and closer links with russia. to another big story of the weekend american chemical giant monsanto has suffered a major blow after losing a lung mark trial over claims its best selling weed killer causes cancer a u.s. court ruled the company was responsible for the terminal illness of a school groundskeeper the jury unanimously agreed that months until acted with

malice and ordered them to pay almost three hundred million dollars in damages to. the case could set a precedent for thousands of other planes against the chemical giant wayne johnson who was diagnosed with none hodgkin's lymphoma in twenty fourteen ses his case is much bigger than just step personal victory. to begin this case i received a lot of support and a lot of thank you and a lot of you know. everything from a lot of people that i don't even know you know i'm glad to be here to help with this situation after i learned about. rip and go at the same everything i'm glad to be you're able to help the cause is way bigger than me. well the dispute over the counter risks of monsanto products have been going on for decades the main focus being on one key ingredient life a state now widespread herbicide it was discovered by a monsanto chemist back in one thousand and seventy but in march twenty fifteen the

world health organization says agency for cancer research concluded that like to say could be carcinogenic monsanto for its part claims the product safety has been developed by scientific research however some reports allege that the chemical giant fuck should research in an attempt to discredit the negative findings its claim the company paid scientists to publish studies affirming roundups safety monsanto has pledged to appeal the court's decision cancer is a terrible disease but when you asked me about the verdict today the verdict doesn't change the science glyphosate is safe it has been used safely for more than four decades around the entire world it has been studied with and there are more than eight hundred published peer reviewed studies that demonstrate a safety. while jeffrey smith from the institute for responsible technology thinks

the case has dealt a huge blow to monsanto's reputation the entire process of this trial has forced monsanto to to reveal millions of secret documents and though show clearly that it manipulated the data in their research and they ignored a lot of research that they had see over decades pointing to the fact that roundup and life is a cause cancer so i don't know exactly what they're going to do but i did hear their closing arguments i was in the court and they came with so many so much decision from asian that the plaintiff's attorney was able to show oh they just they just read now a portion of the quote when you play the whole quote it turns out it's exactly the opposite conclusion that nancy it was trying to to drop this is it so we show that they were actually covering up the health dangers even in the courtroom this could be a death blow ultimately two months if the science wins and they're not able to manipulate the process. a democratic senator from florida hoping to keep his

seat in the upcoming midterm elections ses moscow has hacked the state's voter registration system but the local authorities say there is zero information to back up but play with more in the story here is our taste killam up. bill nelson democratic senator from florida has some alarming news he says that russia has hacked its way into the state's voter registration records they have already penetrated certain counties in the state and they now have free rein to move the boat well time demand the battle stations this is big news except for some reason no one in florida has ever heard about it there are revelle from the florida department of state says that no law enforcement is aware of anything of this nature she says they have received zero information from nelson about his claim and that the f.b.i. the d.h.s.s. and all the florida law enforcement have is observed nothing of the kind the

department of homeland security in washington d.c. has now confirmed that they've never heard about it spokesperson sarah sendek says that it didn't happen to she says we have not heard any news of compromises by russian actors of the election infrastructure bill nelson however says he has obsessional inside information about russian hackers in florida but he can't tell us the details because it's classified he can't tell us which counties have been hacked because it's classified and he can't tell us who told him this you guessed it it's classified nobody in florida has heard of it the department of homeland security has not heard about it but let's take bill nelson at his word let's say the russians actually have hacked into the voting records don't you think that bill ought to be giving whatever information he has to the d.h.s.s. and to florida officials shouldn't he be telling them before he tells the media if they haven't heard about it yet shouldn't they have heard about it now and

shouldn't they now take that information and stop the breach why is bill not swing into action getting all the local and federal officials involved well that's classified so classified that bill is holding all the cards and leaving the rest of america in the dark talk of russia is certainly a headline grabber but this time no one is rushing in to see. save the unnamed counties in florida and that's what makes it a bit too fishy it sounds a bit like somebody isn't telling the truth and that somebody is a lot closer to miami than the moscow. let's turn our attention back to europe now where tens of thousands of protesters look at the streets of the rumanian capital on saturday night for corruption rally the arrest has been gathering pace over the past few days with people demanding the government's resignation it was triggered by a new law that reduces the punishment for abuse of office dozens of people have been arrested hundreds injured in clashes with police.

a puss injure plain stolen by an apparently suicidal airline employee has crushed near seattle in the northwest united states there were no other people on board when the your craft was taken video of the plane flying low a rough sickly over residential areas was posted online. what is happening now. yes. q four hundred one. should never be here.

we're just trying to find a place for the ransom. there's no indication that this was an attack of any kind or a terrorist act. apparently it was somebody who did something wrong did something foolish and may well have paid with his life exactly the circumstances of why this person was flying a small commercial plane with. i have no idea. yeah a lot of questions there but what we do know is the plane was no. four hundred it's

capable of carrying up to seventy six passengers the man who stole it is thought of died in the crash but to us yet nobody has been recovered an independent aviation expert we spoke to believes our company should have a stricter vetting process. report says that he's an employee so he already has access. this is what we call an in and inside the risk is being highlighted over the past several years by various sources in including i are. you know with all the security measures that we have around we've got the passengers it has been warned that we need to start looking into employees but unfortunate that's not a very popular subject within the industry people need to realize that look flying an aircraft is not flying it correctly. so i understand that there's a ton of they know that there's astonishment by people how could this guy on pilot the aircraft but this is not the first time. in the sixty's we had a u.s. a u.s.

air force mechanic stealing a u.s. air force transport aircraft and ending up crashing so this is you know this is nothing new to the industry thirteen minutes into the program or a israelis are voicing their anger over a new law we get into that and plenty more besides in ninety seconds time.

my love hate relationship with the united kingdom. and the love it because it's shambolic i'm struggling. because thousands tens of thousands of people have to live streib i.r.b.m. . hello again fellows ins of israelis have taken to the streets of tel aviv to a controversial new law the israeli parliament recently passed

a jewish nation state law crowd chanted resist apartheid and we are all brothers the noodle created are a big from an official language of israel to a language with so-called special status journalist on a right minimal as there are for forty. we're apt to tell of even if the khalidi at racine square where an estimated eight hundred thousand salmon streeters have shown up to protest the nation state bill one thing here calls for peaceful relations between jews and arabs one can see lots of signs that are in both hebrew and arabic talking about shame a lot of people have come from all over the country in order to protest here today so much just lieschen states that israel is the nation state of the jewish people with exclusive rights to self-determination supporters see that individual rights continue to be protected under israeli can mock the sea and that the p.l.o. is the will of the majority critics of the nation state legislation which has

constitutional weight and checks but it does not include a provision stating that all israelis are equal under the law this is a small affair sickness is citizenship this is a mall equality and for dignity that mission is this law is that discriminatory will. basically kept ignores the. community wasn't as one as a second or third of the class citizens and we're here to say that we cannot allow those and we will continue all of a sudden to repeal this law and to achieve a full equality in our homeland i don't think this law we immediately affects people directly it's up of the north that something bad would happen immediately but i think that in the long gonna think it's it's a big mistake to start making laws that discriminates against them so it's cool the initial low it's mean this it should be to the jew and me. should be oh

so it's really it's unbelievable it's a dictatorship it's going to be apartheid so it's going to be a dictatorship still and i want to serve this is a democracy and this rally follow several demonstrations one of which included tens of thousands. members of the jewish community who are arabic speaking israeli citizens that also serve in the military it's expected that the battle against the nation state law will continue to the supreme court several petitions have been filed against it demonstrators are now marching about a kilometer away to tel aviv museum where the rally will continue and a right to man mark t. intel of the. the company at the center of the long running scandal over polluted water supplies in the u.s. city of flint is lining up to be a private supplier in nigeria picking up the story for a sears artie's acres of elf. nigeria is

a country going up against all sorts of hardship poverty corruption the resurgence of terrorist groups but there's an even more fundamental one water about forty percent of the country's population almost seventy million people live without access to clean water for the eighty thousand people who live here there's only one borehole for every sixty households who used to walk miles to fetch water by the river now we fetch from this bore hole nearby and have time to cook and wash the only uses the water for cooking and laundry of course. we don't need to drink it so we had to look for tony lake package the water that's all we you know we drink because of how the water systems pipes have decayed now a quarter of all supplies literally seep through the cracks three major companies have been shortlisted to seize control of nigeria's water by privatizing it healthy

competition or so when you think but actually it's a choice between the bad the ugly and the really ugly the first company i'm going to talk about is france's veolia it could be known for many things but it's not tori's for just one oversaw the quality of water in the u.s. city of flint michigan which turned into a major disaster. yes it's fascinating in its own way but in response to be only a shrug it off saying some are just too sensitive competing with it is a compass. called i've been goal which took

a shot at facilitating water privatization in bolivia and let me just show you how that turned out. not only did it triple the price of water had been go imposed fees on collecting rain water which world was the last straw and the final company i will look at is a dubai based through its largest shareholder it's linked to the infamous decoder access pipeline which was accused of ignoring heritage and putting business before people.

well frankly nigerians don't stand to lose much red comes to water supply it's so scar's activists have called for a state of emergency but with business sharks calling the shots of the country's crisis kind of down the drain entirely so-called investors are ready to call in and then there's more. for me to do one million people do for liberty government it is just purely business commodification of what the nationalization of this little bill good a beautiful word little revolt we were all glued to accept it because each will. he will who are lonely in. the laws of the world to be a busy gay human rights it will be a lot of conflict in lives prescript you are one of those. in the public but you still go

spray containing the powerful opioid. and only meant for breakthrough pain in cancer patients but while substance is only f.d.a. approved for cancer patients and says stott why should cancer patients be the only people to experience pain relief from subsystem. and that not so legal shift which led several former incessant lawyer to file whistleblower lawsuits alleging that the addictive drug was marketed to patients who suffered from all kinds of pain not just cancer patients with breakthrough pain and detailing dubious sales tactics like taking doctors to strip clubs paying kickbacks for more prescriptions and posing as doctors representatives and where to get insurance to cover the drug according to two different complaints sales reps were trained to tell doctors and patients that the initial one hundred microgram dose was ineffective.
