Jared kushner tells the u. S. Senate he did not collude with the russian government. But was everyone convinced . We asked our washington correspondent to peep through t he keyhole. Brent i am brent goff. It is good to have you with us. Tonight the free press in turkey is being put on trial on trumped up charges. That is how critics describe the trial that began today involving 17 journalists and executives from the turkish newspaper cumhuriyet. The defendants are charged with helping terrorists and all come from the newspaper which is critical of president erdogan. There were protests as the trial began today in istanbul. Reporter protesters outside the court. Inside they from they say freedom of speech is on trial. Observers both in and outside of turkey are calling the trial a crucial test for press freedom. Tit is about punishing thoseo speak out. The world is washing watching. In cases like this which try to it will be neither ignored or accepted. Reporter the 17 are charge would terrorrelated offenses come accusations made after last years failed military coup. The government says they were behind the coup attempt. The charges are a farce. Are journalist friends are jailed because of the news stories they have written. But the government cannot admit that. Therefore they found a cover for the accusations that can convince anyone. Reporter a brief trial is expected and the defendants could be hit with sentences of up to 43 years if they are found guilty. Brent were joined now by ilhan tanir, when of the journalists accused in this trial. Hes a former washington correspondent for the turkish newspaper. Thank you for taking the time to talk with us tonight. What went through your mind as you saw your former colleagues today . Ilhan its very difficult. In turkey, this is obviously not the first time journalists are being tried, especially since the 2013 protests. Turkey became much more polarized. Current president erdogan has basically been following very divisive policies and putting pressure on the journalists. Today, i have seen reports and defense of my friends, journalists from turkey, they are still defending journalism because there is no indictment. The socalled accusations are definitely absurd and laughable charges. My friends in turkey brent if i could just interrupt, the you know what the charges will be against you . Have you read the indictment, have you seen with the government is claiming against you . Ilhan yes i have seen the indictment, it is over 400 pages. They have about 10 pages on me and decided about a dozen stories and they cited about a dozen stories. I dont know exactly which Terror Organization i am accused of, but its pkk because i gave some interview to prokurdish news agencies. Also the accused of it doesnt say which one. But the new stories are the accusations. Brent that was ilhan tanir, former washington correspondent talking with us earlier. Turkey says it is no longer investigating hundreds of German Companies on terrorismrelated charges. Turkey had handed over a list of nearly 700 countries suspected of aiding terrorists. It reportedly included daimler. The industry has been told they are not probing the companies and German Police were sent a list by accident. The poland, where the president in a surprise move maybe rescuing the independence of the nations courts. He will veto controversial legislation which would sharply curtail the independence of the judiciary. The surprise move defies the efforts of the party to control the appointment of Supreme Court justices. Protest seven taking place across the country against the reforms. Reporter a heavy setback for the leader of polands most powerful party. As he arrived for an emergency meeting at party headquarters, legislation continues outside. The president earlier french pledged to veto two of the three bills. It was never part of our tradition that the attorney general fear the work of the Supreme Court. Not to mention the work of the judges. Reporter the report would give prosecutor General Department power thousands took to the streets across poland and they are still there, not ready to back down. We expect the president to do his job and protect and defend the constitution. We want him to veto all three bills and we want a new political direction. Reporter monday, the countrys top judge went to the president ial palace. Shes outspoken critic of the reform and has pledged to work with the president on a new proposal which is expected in two months. Brent we want to bring in mirko kaupat, a journalist. This was a big surprise. Whyd do you think the president veto this bill . Mirko he did it because the pressure is growing and i am pretty sure he got some phone calls from leaders all across europe and the world. Those phone calls had not been advertised that they have taken place, i am very sure about that. And he knew that he had to do something. He could not just let it go because the pressure would have mounted even stronger. What he did was he kind of took the strategy divide and conquer, because i dont really believe this theme that you really surprised his governing party. I think he tried to take a little bit of pressure off the cooker, so to speak. He is feeling one thing and passing he is vetoing one thing and passing another. Brent he say he is taking pressure off now but what happens moving forward . Would the governing party found a way to get around this and still get influence over the judiciary that it wants . Mirko yes, i think it might. It depends on the ongoing pressure from other countries, from europe, and from inside. The demonstrations have to go on. Its a dangerous time because people feel a little triumph, they have achieved something because the president the node vetoed two bills, but he will probably sign the other one which is the damaging. The Justice Minister as we heard in the film there, will still be able to appoint new judges all over the country, just not the Supreme Court. Brent youre talking a lot up the pressure coming from inside and outside the country. What do you think was more important domestic pressure or threats from the European Union of possible sanctions . Mirko to the outside world, the polish government is always posing as being totally not interested in pressure from outside. But i think pressure from outside is pretty important as there is lots of money and influence at stake. Poland, even the nationalist governing party is not willing to give it all up. So i think it is more important than they are willing to admit, but the pressure from inside, and the strongest terms, people being traiottors, still importa. If you have hundreds of thousands of people in the street, it is always important. Brent thank you very much. Here are some other stories that are making headlines around the world. In pakistan at least 26 people have been killed in a car bombing. Dozens more were wounded. Officials said the bombing targeted policeman on a busy road during the afternoon.

Charlies father said the prolonged court battle had robbed charlie of precious time. He is now beyond treatment. Deteriorate devastatingly to the point of no return. This is also never been about always wanted to do was take charlie from one well pronounced hospital to another in the attempt to save his life and be treated by a world leader of his disease. We will have to live with the what ifs that will haunt us for the rest of our lives.

Our top stories, protests in istanbul as prominent journalists and other staff at the leading turkish newspaper cumhuriyet went on trial accused of supporting terrorism. Critics say they are a target of turkeys crackdown on press freedom. U. S. President Donald Trumps soninlaw and close advisor Jared Kushner has begun to days of testimony before u. S. Lawmakers. He was grilled today by the Senate Intelligence committee in a closeddoor hearing. The committee is probing whether russia helped the Trump Campaign windy 2016 election. Kushner told he denied not everyone was convinced. Sign my russian flag, please brent he did not sign it. Following the hearing, kushner gave a statement at the white house. Here is what some of what he had to say. Let me be very clear i did not collude with russia nor do i know of anyone else in the campaign did so. I had no improper contacts. I have not relied on russian funds for my businesses. And i have been fully transparent in providing all requested information. Brent lets go to washington. Our correspondent is on the story for us. Its a very unusual and rare occasion when we hear Jared Kushner speak in public. He is under a lot of pressure right now, isnt he . Maya indeed. He is notoriously private and mediashy. This may be the first time some people have even heard his voice. But he is coming before these committees to give this testimony, probably in part because it seems like he wants it off his plate. A lot of the statement we saw him give today as well as the statement he put out this morning prior to his testimony had a lot of words like, i dont recall, i didnt read this, i didnt do that really trying to shove the blame off of himself. He has two days of testimony, today and tomorrow. We will see what comes out of this. We will see whether there is anything or these investigations to work with. Brent where does this leave the investigations against trump or into those suspicions of collusion with the russians . Maya because this testimony is behind closed doors at his heart for the media to know what is said or what other questions were asked. If we parse the statement that kushner put up this morning, there is something there to work with. There is confirmation that he did in fact talk with a russian agent about setting up a back channel between the white house and Russian Communications around u. S. Intelligence. There are certain dates and conversations he alleges happened or perhaps did not happen that can easily be fact checked not just by investigators but by journalists. There is some for investigators to work with but well have to see if anything more comes out that is confirmable. On wednesday we are expecting to hear from donald trump jr. And paul manafort. Brent a very exciting week on capitol hill, thats for sure. Maya, thank you very much. Good news for the global economy. Helen is here to tell us more. We want to hear good news. Helena overall it is looking promising but individual regions may have a harder time, thats according to the International Monetary fund which is forecasting exhilarating Global Growth despite uncertainty surrounding brexit. They say global gdp will grow by 3. 5 this year and 3. 6 the year after. It expects eurozone growth to be slightly stronger next year, pointing to what it terms of solid momentum. Revised british growth downwards, citing a weak firstquarter and also cut the u. S. Out to 2. 1 . Lets go now to wall street to jens korte. Why the downgrade for the u. S. . It did appear the economy there was improving. Jens well, the economy is improving and growing, but not as fast as the imf thought a couple months ago. By the way, they did not just lower the expectation for this, but also for next year. One of the main reasons seems to be the administration does not really get forward their proposal to cut taxes. That seems to be the big blow to Economic Growth and no one can really tell if donald trump will get a majority in congress this or maybe next year for his proposed tax cuts. Helena indeed, everyone is waiting on that. We also had earnings season in full swing. What is the latest on that . Jens i mean, earnings season is well underway and most companies exceeded wall streets expectations. Thats also why nasdaq achieved another record close on the monday session. Talking about the close after the closing bell rang. We had earnings from the Mother Company of google and google exceeded wall street expectations on revenue and profits. Still, the stock traded lower in the afterhours session. Wall street had high hopes on google and even if they came in betterthanexpected the stock still pretty much traded on a record level. We will get the big car companies, the numbers of facebook, intel, amazon later in the week. Its a most active week for earnings that we will see. Helena thank you. Greece is back in business. It is planning to return to the debt markets in the first time in three years on tuesday with the issuance of a fiveyear bond. We will find out tomorrow how much the new notes will be priced at but its a sign perhaps that the country is finally on the road to recovery. Analysts say there is still a long week ago. Reporter it is being called a psychological milestone. Greeces returned to the bond market comes after years of austerity and tough reforms. I believe it is a good step but it is only one step. Now we need to look at the framework. It is certainly a move in the right direction. The future, the near future will determine if it was in fact a good news good move or not. Reporter the hope is that selling new bonds will enable grease to become less reliant on loans. The countrys current Bailout Program is come is set to come to an end in july 2018. At the height of the financial crisis, greek fiveyear bonds headed Interest Rate of 63 . Now the government has reportedly set a target of just 4. 2 . A lofty goal, but after no growth at all last year, the Greek Economy is expected to expand by over 2 in 2017, a forecast that adds to its credibility on the markets. Helena ryanair is flying high. It is set to wrap up pressure on its rivals by cutting to get fares as much as 9 in the coming months. The looming brexit means they are still hurtling towards the unknown. So far no progress has been made on a new airspace agreement with the eu. The ceo has said if there is no clarity by autumn of next year, europes leading lowcost carrier a hefty suspended flights between the eu and u. K. For frances vineyards, the glass is half empty. They are predicting a historically poor harvest. 17 fewer grapes than last year. Many were hit by a late spring frost. This area might only see half of last years volume. They are still optimistic. The quantity of grapes might be smaller of their quality depends on the weather during harvest time which takes place from august through october. So there is still hope. Brent something that also takes place with the weather, you have probably seen pictures of the aurora borealis. But i bet you have not seen them from this Vantage Point before. Behind me, nasa astronauts have captured studying footage stunning footage of the aurora dancing across the atmosphere of the earth. The time lapse was shot above the International Space station. It was the result of accelerated electrons colliding with the upper reaches of the earths atmosphere. Let hollywood try to match that. Heres the reminder of our top stories.

In around 1100, an irish king gave cashel to the church, and it grew to become the ecclesiastical capital of all ireland. 800 years ago, this Monastic Community was just a chapel and a round tower standing high on this bluff.
