The release of human rights organizer. It comes on the same day that his trial got under way stuart was arrested and has tested relations between turkey and germany will go to istanbul for the latest also coming up the rerun no one wants to watch ahead of tomorrows disputed repeat president ial election kenyans say their country is deeply divided and germanys president appeals for better times between berlin and moscow on the visit to russia he tells led amir putin that the two countries have to Work Together if they want to trust each other. Its good to have you with us tonight we start off with some breaking news from turkey a prosecutors call that may have diplomatic echoes turkeys Public Prosecutor is seeking the release of german human rights activists. To start his trial got underway today after he was arrested it is stamboul last july there is accused of links to terrorism but berlin has dismissed those allegations and demanded that he be released he is among the group of eleven. Activists being persecuted prosecuted rather including several from the rights watchdog amnesty international. I want to go now to our correspondent dorian jones he has been covering the trial proceedings for us in istanbul good evening to you dorian so was this decision from the prosecutor i mean was it it really expected certainly wasnt him speaking to amnesty officials ahead of the start of the trial today there was a hope the possibly some of the turkish defend human rights defenders koop be released following talks with turkish officials but there was very little hope that peter. And the. Would be released particular in the present climate of tensions between then and this decision came in the evening for out that theyd prosecute to a pursuit a very tough line and gave very little indication he was ready to make any kind of gesture but he out of the blue made this request in the middle of the evening and took everybody by surprise and a lot of the criticism that we have heard against this trial has been at the the notion that the judiciary in turkey is independent do you think this move by the prosecutor was an attempt to show the world that yes we are independent. Well i think that certainly would be the message the encore will present to its International Critics has always insisted that the judiciary is independent in the face of growing International Condemnation and accusations that many of these trials are politically motivated but it has to be said that there is growing rumors and speculation the reason behind this surprise move is that it comes when there is a reports are all across turkey and in International Financial media that burleson was on the verge of using its influence to could tail the lending by Foreign InternationalInvestments Development institutions now that would potentially hit hard the turkish economy because it depends heavily on borrowed money from abroad and there already the turkish currency is the suffering very heavy forces evening so there will be links be made between that decision especially as the prosecutor made that decision in the evening you know the power of the purse many say is what made this decision possible do we know when the activists or when he could be free well there has we have to be clear that the judge still has to make a decision on that although it is very powerful that the prosecutor does call for his release is unusual the judge to go against prosecutors wishes but if he does agreed to release along with the other seven human rights defenders he could be released possibly very late tonight or in the early hours of the morning that is entire news or so if all goes well then peter storm that could be free in the early hours of tomorrow morning so this could be a developing story then we will go back to you as events warrant our correspondent in istanbul dorian jones on the story for us tonight story and thank you very much. Well tonight the mood is tense in kenya ahead of tomorrows disputed president ial Election Rerun authorities confirm that the vote will go ahead after the top court threw out a last minute petition to delay the poll of the country is deeply divided between rival political camps only ten years ago postelection violence in kenya cost more than one thousand lives now the opposition is already denouncing tomorrows vote. What kenya is a country on edge. Here in the Third Largest city of kisumu an opposition stronghold police and protesters clashed. The demonstrators are determined to ignore thursdays repeat election. Acting president going out to your country to want us but you know if you love stop us you will kill us but you will rise again. There is no there is no election tomorrow and. There will be going to believe they wont bring the ballot next year if you are confident that then thats enough for you and pretty well in mind that there would be no election in the morning. Their anger stems from the failure of Kenyas Supreme Court to consider a petition to postpone thursdays planned vote several judges failed to show up making it impossible to make a corum only the countrys Supreme Court has the authority to delay the poll which was called after it an old an election held in august because of what it described as irregularities and illegalities. A short time later kenyas electoral board confirmed that polls would open at six a. M. Local time on thursday based on those assurances given to this commission. That anyone who thought it was. Based on the brokenness. Mit in the commission. Lets. Go on to morrow the twenty sixth of october when seventeen. At a rally in the capital nairobi main opposition candidate right now doing a called for a boycott under new elections in ninety days. The. President who kenyatta defended the independence of the kenyan judiciary saying the events of recent months made the country a stronger democracy and the fears of violence he called for an easing of tensions as evening i speak to you not. As all maintain peace as we exercise our constitutional right. No matter what the outcome of thursdays election there appears to be no end in sight for the political battle between kenya and. Both leaders have refused to meet to resolve their differences adding to the deepening divisions among kenyans over what passed their country should follow in the future. Well heres a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world in barcelona demonstrators have made a fresh call for independence for the region of catalonia this after a Catalan Leader carlist. Turned down an invitation to address Spains Senate this week the senate is due to hold a vote on dismissing the government on friday saudi arabias crown Prince Mohammed bin salomon has pledged to restore a moderate form of islam in the kingdom at a conference in riyadh he said that he wanted to end extremism and to make saudi arabia a country open to all faiths based on what he called quote the true values of our religion. In Austria Coalition talks are under way between the center right Peoples Party of incoming chancellor sebastien courts and the far right Freedom Party the f. P. O. Of that party led by christiane. Came third in elections earlier this month cordes has promised zero tolerance on antisemitism and said that future partners must be pro europe and bangkok the five day funeral ceremony has started working to me paul and his son has been performing rights in the citys historic order while tens of thousands of mourners have filed into the surrounding areas to bid farewell to the monarch the king died last october at the age of eighty eight. Well germanys president. Has told russian president Vladimir Putin that he is unhappy about the state of relations between germany and russia he made the remarks while on an official visit to the russian capital steinmeyer also met with human rights activists after his talks with the russian president its the first visit by a german head of state to russia in seven years the official reason is the handover of st peter and Paul Cathedral back to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of russia the change of ownership comes as part of the festivities marking five hundred years since the protestant reformation. An era of celebration at a normal sunday service the last one before this evangelical lutheran congregation in moscow officially gets its church back. Lutherans are religious minority here in russia most in the community have german roots their ancestors came to russia centuries ago on the invitation of the czars who Promised Land and religious freedom but later the soviet government persecuted lutherans and seize Church Property including this cathedral the Community Led by archbishop de takes power has been using it again since the fall of the soviet union but so far it has remained russian government property. With the courts here on a case like someone started living in your apartment and its not yours anymore so they let you turn up but the whole time you how much of the ceiling isnt yours for you on any point it could end up in the governments hands or other hands its ours it feels like home again. But not so in the soaps and then. In the officially atheist soviet union many churches were repurposed from nine hundred thirty seven this cathedral was used as a Movie Theater and a film studio by then all the churches across the country had been closed and many of their pastors arrested and shot. Here at vidia cemetery in moscow long known as the citys German Cemetery the scars of that persecution are still tangible many gravestones here were neglected and destroyed after the Second World War the Lutheran Community struggled with the additional stigma of its german origins often associated with the nazi enemy. But. The return of our church to some extent restored historical justice historical truth but only partially i hope that this will just be the beginning of a new stage in the development of our country and our community. The number of churches that were destroyed by a crime of course the fact that this cathedral is being returned thats good news. Because the church belongs to the congregation it belongs to the people that come here and look after it. Now the congregation is getting a church to call home and since its in the capital they hope this transfer will set a precedent and that the russian state will return other churches as well or here in berlin it is the speed that has called practically everyone by surprise for Political Parties trying to form one governing coalition after last months election appear to be making progress much more quickly than predicted talks between chancellor Angela Merkels conservatives the Free Democratic and the greens had been expected to last several weeks if not. So much concrete agreement probably came as a surprise theres already an initial paper outlining common goals and everyone has been tweeting about it the main point no new debt. But for the green party that represents simply a notice of intention. Your boy and we want a balanced budget but we also want to do something for people with low incomes for families we want to do something about the environmentally destructive subsidy its about constructing rental housing. All parties involved want to invest and to relieve Financial Burdens especially on families with children and lower to middle income groups but is all that possible without new debt up be going to greenstone believe it can work wonders and we know that it can and that is the whole point of the negotiations to determine how to make something sensible out of the aims agreed together and if you guess what that will require further discussion but the bavarian allies of merkels conservative c. D. U. Party worry whether their Expensive Campaign promises can be implemented because as i hope this wont be a Single Company no solution that is the least amount of relief but then we should focus on making sure that relief is palpably effective reservations a bound despite the Common Ground found so far the next round will focus on refugees and migration reaching agreement there is expected to pose fresh difficulties are you know when it is you know with Business News a contentious discussion about what we eat what we drink and how safe it is or is not or its not is a contentious issue were talking about a life is a brand and if you want to resolution on that dont hold your breath put a decision on a life to say all that but i once again Member States cant agree on renewing a european license for what is a very widely used herbicide every million europeans have signed a petition against this stuff theyre worried that the chemical causes cancer but studies prove otherwise. Its the most commonly used herbicide in the world in europe farmers sprague life is saved on around half of all fields used to raise commercial crops but the weed killer is highly controversial due to concerns that could have an impact on human and Environmental Health today the e. U. Once again postponed a decision on whether or not to ban it activists in brussels hit the streets on wednesday to push for one they say its institutions have colluded with the industry at the expense of the public so they want the commission to come out with a nonrenewal a full band any number of years whether its one year five years ten years as long as its revenue its not a ban and european citizens have been clear they want to ban studies dont agree on whether glyphosate is a long term cancer risk or not the World Health Organization has said it could pose a danger the e. U. s Food Safety Authority has proclaimed the chemical harmless but has also been accused of basing that opinion on studies sponsored by manufacturers like monsanto greens in the European Parliament say thats not acceptable. We need to look at independent studies not just ones carried out by the industry we have to finally end this thing with life i say there are standard farming methods that work fine without the heavy use of chemicals. By standard farming methods martin hoisting means organic agriculture but many farmers say those methods are too expensive and think its enough to only ban use of the herbicide directly before the harvest the battle will now continue as the e. U. Committee responsible for making a decision was once again split at the conclusion of the meeting no vote was taken the commission took note of the position of different delegations often in the states a form which you could now reflect and really notice to date of the next meeting shorty. The commission is in favor of extending use for another five to seven years but it will have to reach an. Remit soon life a states controversial license in the e. U. Expires by the end of december. Now germanys largest lender dontcha bank has agreed to pay out a combined total of two hundred twenty Million Dollars to forty five states across the United States over its alleged manipulation of aid to bank lending rates the states investigation allegedly under cover uncovered rather that Deutsche Bank along with other big banks including barclays had inflated the libel rate that is the rate which is used to work out how much banks charge each other for borrowing money georgia has already agreed to fines of two and a half billion dollars with federal authorities in the u. S. And or thirtys in the u. K. The bank says that these payouts agree to today close the case once and for all. Well time to check in with wall street now a financial correspondent joins quarter is standing by yes case closed seemingly for deutsche and banks in the u. S. Have to be breathing a sigh of relief today off the senate kill that ruling to make it easier to sue banks tell us more about that. You know i was a little help of Vice President of my. Senate voted against the proposal for former president barack obama that would have made it easier for consumers to file a class action suit against the finance a huge. Vote of the senate all that is missing is the signature of the u. S. President donald. And pretty likely to happen any time soon it is seen as the biggest regulatory victory for the financial industry since the new administration took over if you look at financial stocks overall they have been on fire in the past couple of months and even if that is seen as good news at least for big Financial Institutions stock in that area it didnt move that much on wednesday but as i said so financial stocks saw an incredible increase in the past couple of months absolutely quite a coup for the banks now the markets definitely not as chirpy as they were yesterday seems that some of those Quarterly Earnings out just not managing to convince. There well maybe its a little bit of buy on the rumor and sell on the facts because weve got a couple of Big Companies earnings boeing cocacola the chip Company Advanced micro devices that actually the numbers were pretty solid came in more or less in line but still we saw some heavy selling Advanced Micro Devices for example losing thirteen percent in value but that stock in comparison to last year has more than doubled also boeing on the rise and that stock was the biggest loser in the Dow Jones Industrial average so even if we got used to it what we contest a new record every single day now the focus is on thursday when the first Big Tech Companies will be coming out where their earnings microsoft intel amazon just to name a few absolutely and whatever goes up has to come down as well so some stability is welcome to in new york thank you very much and also most of us a spain a drive in a sky is still a way off in the future but right into driverless thoughts well for that you just need to get yourself to a bust off of a small town in the southern german region off the very a the first drive this bus in germany has taken it to the streets there and its free. This tiny thing is Cutting Edge Technology the first glance that may be hard to believe but its the first travel espouse operating in public ruled in germany its being tested on the streets of but then by a small the very in town two hours from munich. Here in the countryside and where theres a lack of the potable transportation i really believe that we need to have a service that sufficient sustainable and affordable like he was on and at the same time environmentally friendly. Going to an image on. The bus is free to the public and maybe with reason its slow moving at just fifteen Kilometers Per Hour but riders probably have time to spare the shore truett connects the city center with us. Hold on to your hats if youre all not one now a vision or a member are saudi arabia is planning to build a mega city in the does it or oil one pumped through the heart of this metropolis only alternative energy robots trains and Driverless Cars will dominate the price tag a cool off the treated us dollars. If constructed as planned this saudi megacity neon will be the largest building site on earth covering more than twenty six thousand square kilometers thats an area of land half the size of switzerland itll go up on the coast of the red sea not far from the hundreds of ships that had for the suez canal every year ten percent of the worlds exports pass through the waterway saudi arabia wants to be a new Global Center for trade crossroads between asia africa and europe trade is just one of nine economic sectors planned for the city the saudis also want to draw companies from the fields of transport robotics biotech food science Internet Technology and energy with little for the difference between it and a city of today is going to be like the difference between these two phones.
