A possible breakthrough the scandinavian country is expected to see a far right surge in elections this weekend amid discontent over migration. Times for me so much got a good to have you with us the leaders of iran russia and turkey are meeting today to discuss the future of serious last pocket of rebel resistance it live province turkeys head of state recha tired of want to arrived in tehran in the last hour ousted russias president Vladimir Putin now the cheerleaders will join a rainy and president Hassan Rouhani to discuss the looming military assault on it live in northwestern syria damascus is determined to take it live province by force aid agencies are urging world powers to avoid what theyre saying could be the greatest humanitarian catastrophe in syria. Seven year war. The Northwestern Province of idlib is syrias last rebel stronghold tens of thousands of people were bussed here when other antigovernment areas fell around half of the estimated three million residents both civilians and rebel fighters have come in from other parts of the country. The first big influx came in december twenty sixth after Government Forces took control of aleppo then in twenty seventeen the last rebel fighters left the city of homs and in march this year after fighting ended in eastern guta convoys also headed to it live. Now the Syrian Government wants to retake the city its army video shows tanks apparently preparing for a ground offensive. Around ten thousand rebel combatants are thought to remain in it lived most of them radical islamists and members of terrorist groups theyve been digging trenches and blowing up bridges to counter any assault by the syrian army and its allies. This could be their last stand they have nowhere to run in other places there was a solution for the fighters to move them to it live from italy it is more difficult to know where the fighters will be moved so the risk of military confrontation is very high you risk of course many deaths of civilian people of innocent people which would be. Terrible a humanitarian catastrophe to avoid this Turkey Russia and iran need to mediate a shared goal but with very different motives for. Turkey more than anything wants to prevent hundreds of thousands of Syrian Refugees from pouring across its border it also wants to stop the kurds from founding an independent state in syria russia and iran on the other hand are primarily concerned with expanding their influence in the region they want a unified syria under president Bashar Al Assad. Seven years of war in syria have lift at least three hundred fifty thousand did millions of refugees and a country in ruins if the offensive on it does go ahead as many as eight hundred thousand people could be fools to move again. Which. Ones get. Jump ship by sekhar is head of debbies Farsi Service and he joins us in studio for more on the story jumps to thank you for being with us Turkey Russia and iran as we heard in that report have very different motives the leaders of those countries are meeting in tehran today is there any chance that they can agree on a diplomatic solution to prevent a full out military confrontation and it lip. Unfortunately. This point it doesnt seem so there is no diplomatic solution unfortunately for that. He has criticised for instance over the last few days russian air strikes on the ball of any food military action against their lives at least. It seems that the regime. Has our did you decide to. Support that openly giving him support that openly i mean as a months that immediately after the meeting in tehran they might start. Action and im a patient and i get so i to this point. Its not the question they be taking that i think its not the question because in how to do we innovate that for instance and you raise up refugees to our savior for instance due to our sort of our its our military offensive is imminent is what youre saying lets look at these three players because russia and iran they have given support military aid to the Syrian Regime to Bashar Al Assad on the other hand turkey has backed the rebel forces and turkey is now dry. Up this plan to offer armed rebel groups to leave it safely does uncle really want to stop an assault on it its very difficult to say that are the ones that goes to tehran and face to face to putin States Military him there are three main concerns for turkey first of all is the new raise of if you just including militants in the past. In the report theyre safe channels for rebels or civilians to flee from. Zones to at the blood from i think too that there is no place for them to go it does sort of cave ready to accept them its very unlikely the second course and concern for turkey is that a new could just go. Along its border and that ted actually. The forces of Physicians Group thats what you called them mother and oppositions and support and so he has already about seven hundred. Troops in at least some about twelve outposts there so on the ground so its a little bit difficult and very complicated for turkey but for iran and russia its clear they want. Be captured im sure assad regimes you mentioned the civilians three Million People in what is facing them unfortunately. As you and i miss you and all of their agencies want there is a possibility of bloodbath and there is no immediate solution for that maybe a me think they can find if they that the people in some of the trinity and avoid you know bloodbath in that remember that about half of these three Million People displaced before that move from some other part you know at concert tonight. And there is no other place to go no and unfortunately this is the concert. In new england. I would jump ship by sekhar Farsi Service thank you so much for sharing your insights with us. Some other news on the front runner in brazils president ial election has been stabbed at a Campaign Rally and taken to the hospital where he said to be in serious condition rightwing a candidate just her boss took the lead after former president Luis Ignacio Lula da silva was jailed on corruption charges and disqualified from running in an already divided nation the incident could now turn the election upside down. The moment that could alter the course of a country the front runner in brazils president ial race stabbed in the gut. Hes rushed to the hospital with a life threatening wound the crowd grabs this man a daily Obispo Olivera believed to be the attacker hes now under arrest police say hes mentally unstable his motive for means unclear hours later inside this hospital doctors await the results of surgery to repair the damage. And outside rage over the attack was able to get no sight below your balls an hour as a fighter hes on his feet hes alive hes on his feet and he will be elected in the first round whatever it takes. Yet you guys you know who your arcade where you are. This would make both an hour withdraw from the president ial campaign a very wrong. How this attack it shakes up next months president ial race is now the big question sixty three year old boss a narrow has shocked many across brazil with his racist and homophobic comments but the far right candidate has performed strongly in recent polls. And his closest rival has been ordered to prison thats former leftist president louisiana. Lemme still overturn a ban on him running in the election after being convicted on corruption charges so now relief among both sinatras supporters as word spreads their man is expected to recover from a brutal attack that could throw the nations sympathy and support his way. Now to some other stories making headlines around the world Iraqs Parliament will convene an emergency session on saturday to discuss the situation in basra demonstrators there set fire to a local government building despite a curfew imposed by authorities people have been protesting for days in the city over collapsing infrastructure power cuts and corruption. Officials in japan say at least sixteen people have been confirmed dead after a powerful earthquake struck the Northern Island of hokkaido on thursday rescue workers are continuing to search for survivors after landslides more than twenty people are still missing. Now its been almost two weeks since protests broke out in the eastern city of kenneths here in germany over a fatal life attack allegedly committed by Asylum Seekers but now the countrys Domestic Intelligence chief has raised doubts about reports that far right mobs were chasing down and accosting foreigners encampments now in an interview with germanys build newspaper mohsen said quote i share the skepticism about media reports on right wing extremists hunting down people in chemists quote the Domestic Intelligence agency has no reliable information about such harms taking place. Now that statement appears to contradict chancellor Angela Merkel who has spoken about targeted harassment and chemists and hate in the streets and video circulated after the clashes and cabinets they appear to show demonstrators running after people judged to be non german a fatal knife attack allegedly committed by Asylum Seekers through thousands of protesters onto the streets including far right groups and neo nazis. Lets bring in our Political Correspondent nina for more on this story hi nina so the Domestic Intelligence chief is contradicting the chancellor what do we make of. That is indeed a very strong material for a political thriller. Mohsen is particularly referring to this video that we also just saw as being circulated on the web allegedly showing people chasing down foreigners the problem is that there is some sort of a semantic debate going on here in germany now whether the those cases of manhunt were orchestrated or not and whether that is the actual allegation that is happening and mohsin says that these videos could have been circulated to. A case of deliberate misinformation and he says that there is no proof that this video is authentic of course they say is highly critical of on but again hes not the first one who said that there was no such orchestrated manhunt is also a member of. Own party the state premier of the state of saxony way. And he also said that he can see any proof that there was orchestrated cases of manhunt but media arent there i witness accounts also from journalists of targeted harassment. That is something that is clearly the case targeted harassment happened not just directed against foreigners our very own reporters spoke of aggression and aggressive acts against members of the press so this is something where a very heavy debate is going on and where it is specially mohsen has come under criticism because of course people from the s. P. D. Party for example so from Coalition Partners they say that he as the intelligence chief of germany should not take part in such speculations whether this video was false or authentic he should present the facts and. Its not the first time that hes under criticism you also allegedly met members of the h. D. To warn them to how to avoid being put under surveillance by the intelligence agencies need a lets put all this into context and how the german public sees this because a new opinion poll shows that the far right is now the largest Political Force in the countrys east for the first time the anti immigrant alternative for germany a. F. D. Is more popular in eastern germany then conservatives there currently polling at twenty seven percent ahead of the c. D. U. On twenty four percent so you know this is the First National poll taken since kennett so are we seeing a widening a widening divide between the east and the west. Yes but of course they say deepening gulf has been here for a long time this tendency its not since its not just sins committed that weve seen if he has won support has been gaining support and we will have to look very closely at what happens in next years state elections in those eastern german states whether this will be actually cemented and become a reality for german politics at the same time its very interesting it is a clear sign of this divided nation when you look at how the a have been faring in the west because the same poll shows that has lost one percentage point in the west and that a majority of people actually want the a of them to be put under surveillance or at our Political Correspondent nina following the story for us thank you nina voters in sweden could install europes next populist government this sunday the Sweden Democrats writing an anti migrant and law and order ticket are surging against established parties according to opinion polls a populist government in sweden would be following a europe wide trend right when populists are now in Coalition Governments and eighty e. U. Countries these parties are united by ideas of nationalism euro skepticism and opposition to immigration these issues are also weighing on voters minds in sweden. And there is the issue of crime the Sweden Democrats have made it one of their key talking points we have this report from the city of mama. My attitude he is just in time to break up a dispute between young arab immigrants in miami he knows that once the fists begin to fly someone could end up dead especially here. But the young men listen to him. To hash dealers got into it here. One said the other was muscling in on a deal these are the kinds of things that can lead to violence. Turkey knows what hes talking about a lebanese immigrant he spent four years behind bars in sweden for convictions related to violence and narcotics now hes trying to prevent crime in his adopted home that night she and others like him patrolman most streets talking with young immigrants and others interested in dialogue. Were here to talk we want to prevent chaos and violence so the police wont have to get involved its a matter of prevention. To a key called his initiative no two crimes supporters are recruited via the internet turkey knows what life is like for young immigrants in the citys disadvantaged suburbs and hes able to talk to them although only half of them dont finish school. The surge in Violent Crime has become a decisive election issue and the right wing populist Sweden Democrats have benefited the partys hardline stance on refugees and immigrants has gained it close to twenty percent of the vote in recent elections i have told he also wants to talk to the right wingers he blames their Campaign Rhetoric for souring relations between a swedish majority and migrants bob. Youre always talking about more police harsher penalties and deportations but shouldnt we all instead be addressing the causes of the violence and asking how it comes to that will be a min of work even then go forth this is a fine but we still say that a foreigner would arrest. Dence permit commits a crime he must be expelled. For them or for people in the countries racists are hoping for some wind beneath their wings what happens if these parties when the elections everyone should be asking themselves that more there be war in the streets. And immigrant and former convicts campaigning for social trial no two crimes will soon be taking to the streets to prevent violence and take all across. Lets bring in under and i know hes a political scientist an expert on populism in sweden and europe he joins us from gothenburg andreas thank you for being with us how big of a problem is crime in sweden and what are the causes well thats one of the divisive issues in this Election Campaign even for the last year in sweden experts and politicians do have their different opinions on whether crime has increased or and whether its a big problem or not so its very politicized issue in the areas where crime has increased andreas what are the causes there what are the identifying causes. Well if you ask the left there will point towards social economic factors and if you ask the right they will mention that are you big racial cultural issues. Now how have the right wing populace the Sweden Democrats managed to drum up soul so much support you know what is it that theyre actually promising to do this is an antiestablishment party. This this we democrats over it is one of many similar partisan cross you rhythm they have grown steadily for for seventy years theyve been the swedish polman for eight years now they had almost thirteen percent in the last election there just close of twenty percent according to opinion polls now they have gained of course mainly due to the immigration issue for a very long time but every only part in sweden that advocated more strict immigration policy and how it went all the big parties are also promising a more restrictive policy many voters think that they should stay with the original and not listen to the caucus because they are you know that you agree should party in sweden so that is the main factor driving their support their polling around twenty percent they could become the second largest sun if they even the Largest Party in the country after sunday how have they changed politics since when is the country which is seen around the world as liberal and progressive. The main change is that neither of the left center left nor the center right will be able to form a majority in parliament so we can as traditionally been very divisive between the left and the right for example we have a liberal party in sweden that has always been equalization the conservatives never with this of the democrats so only election to sweden ended up with even a center left or center right forming a government and by the same democrats also big so that traditional political blocs wont be able to do do do that anymore. So even or it will mean that the center right will have to deal with this we can democrats make compromises with them all that the liberal party in the in the in the center will for the first time in history for cooperation with the social democrats so it will be a new new chapter to switch politics no matter what happens all right a changing Political Landscape in sweden and yes and hina in gothenburg for us thank you so much thank you. Some showbiz news now in a big loss for hollywood american actor Burt Reynolds has died at the age of eighty two according to his manager reynolds a rose to fame in the one nine hundred seventy s.

Are telling us here with business now and how in a crisis looming in developing countries absolutely what used to be the beacon of hope when we take a look at the emerging markets right now they seem to be in meltdown their currencies losing value dramatically were talking about the turkish lira the argentine peso south africas rounded dinny indonesias rupee yet to name a few currency traders will have to have strong nerves right now but of course its far worse for those People Living in those countries. A supermarket in the turkish city of dia but here things used to be a lot busier here but rising prices are hitting sales so does the u. S. Were forced to increase the prices of the new products we buy we raise the prices in accordance with the profit margin of course our people no longer have as much purchasing power they used to be able to fill a shopping cart for two hundred lire but now it costs them three hundred to three hundred twenty five percent of the. Prices are climbing because the turkish lira has lost so much value against the dollar in the first half of this year it plummeted by a stunning seventy two percent. South africas economy is also stuttering that countrys currency the rand has lost a full thirty percent against the dollar south africa is now considered as being in recession following two quarters of falling g.

And all financial correspondent otiss box is with us now at the front but Stock Exchange and what he said german exports were in dymov but also we saw that increase in imports to the country so thats got to be good news for the countries trade balance. Thats right and its good news for germans if you will because behind this increase in import is a very very solid labor market with lots of firms looking for qualified personnel and not finding them employment that is the number of people employed in germany is at a record since reunification and because jobs are in demand in the economy is going on exports are going. The incomes of people are having are increasing and so theyre spending germany used to be known as a country full of very stingy consumerism but thats changed and you can see it in the numbers and its of course good in diffusing criticism from the e. U. Commission or from the International Monetary fund or from trading partners like the United States that germany is not doing enough to play its role in the World Economy. Its exporting too much and consuming too little well these numbers are not going to change that completely but the work towards improving the situation from the point of the critics at least absolutely im talking about germanys robust economy and from a robust economy to looking at a crisis in all of this the merging markets currencies that did help in stand up people about. Theyre very concerned because theyre seeing signs of contagion and people are being lumped into the same category but analysts here warn please dont all look at the emerging markets just with one focus you have to differentiate argentina and turkey on the one side asian economies being much more stable so thats one way to look at it and they also say that before the Central Banks of this world especially the fed and the European Central bank which are so powerful allow this to escalate and spread into the World Economy spread into the industrial nations the Central Banks will do something in order to battle the emerging financial crisis among emerging markets are in spots for us the frankfurt Stock Exchange thanks to you.
