from tehran eric good morning to you all what kind of response can we expect from iran when the new sanctions are announced later today well the. k.g.b. they don't want to give the impression that the

that cannot tolerate that our people have nothing to eat and no medicine and that our money is worth the money and nothing that i know to. the government says it has already arrested several

the united states over the fate of u.s. pastor andrew bronson is threatening to further destabilize the lira the u.s. imposed further sanctions on two ministers and president rest of the wants cabinets after months of plunging exchange rates the currency is now hit a fresh low against the dollar inflation also rose again in july to nearly sixteen percent that's a fifteen year high increase in pressure on the central bank to hike interest rates . for days one issue has been dominating the front pages of turkey's newspapers. the country's spat with the united states has fueled fears of full blown economic turmoil. at the center of the dispute is u.s. pastor andrew brunson's seen here in a white t. shirt turkey accuses him of helping to plot a failed military coup in twenty sixteen after spending twenty one months in jail he was transferred to house arrest at the end of july to speak about that didn't go far enough for u.s. president donald trump who swiftly imposed sanctions on two senior turkish ministers. that in turn caused the lira to slide to a record low against the u.s. dollar continuing and already existing trends take a look at this. as you can see the number of turkish lira you need to buy a dollar has been rising since the beginning of the year but in august of record was set five turkish lira and now by new just one u.s. dollar on surprisingly on the streets of istanbul the mood is far from upbeat. things aren't going in a good direction it's terrible that one u.s. dollar is now worth five lire we are ready have financial problems and i don't approve of it things will get worse that's what we're expecting. turkey's dispute with washington isn't the only factor affecting its economic prospects concerns over the independence of the country's central bank president ed one's ability to tackle soaring inflation are among other issues weighing on investors' minds. and this just goes beyond just this dispute between the us. he's a professor of economics at the university. constance and joins us now from. how traumatic is the situation in turkey and how is everything. you know we need to see that these sanctions imposed by the u.s. are so cold smart sanctions and they aim on a very specific problem but at the same time they tried not to harm the whole economy so the direct effect of the sanctions i would not see a big one i would not expect a big one the reason why we have seen such a big reaction last week on the exchange rate originates from the general problematic economic conditions inflation has risen again current account deficit is increasing so the country is moving towards a serious financial crisis day by day a crucial question is the sanctions have a signal and the question is whether other countries will react in a similar way and their financial investors serving the reactions very clearly turkey's worship with europe is also on the rocks but what role can the e.u. play in this dispute. yeah exactly the question is the americans have reacted very clearly because of what one single pastor there are thirty german citizens and there are increasing war says that europe should also take such strong steps but one need to bear in mind that turkey has different interests with the european union compared to the us or was it worse that we have a migration deal as europeans with turkey we have also this financial integration a large extent of these loans in dollars and your terms for turkish companies are coming from italian banks from spanish banks so i'm skeptical that europe can act as heavily as the us with respect to sanctions and the question is also whether we should do need because a collapsing financial system in turkey will have having costs also for europe just let's talk more about that is a is a collapse really eminent and in which way would it be limited to turkey or would it would it have further consequences. so it is no exaggeration that turkey is moving towards a financial collapse because it's a tragedy how can an economy stabilize the exchange rate and the current account by keeping this high growth rate so there is no signal that there is a political will to reduce its kinds onsen based growth rates at the same time if this collapse comes of course we have a large amount of loans in italy and we know at the same time that italian banks have been in troubles for months or just remember after the elections how critical the situation was in europe and if turkey the financial system collapse and turkey the central bank in europe has also again to bail out italian banks and that will trigger a political conflict again and europe so in this bigger picture. destabilizing turkey is not in the interest of the european union. and thank you very much for this analysis. china says it's prepared for a long trade war with the united states the statement comes in response to a series of tweets from the u.s. president on a trump praising the effects of trade
