Years ago here could very independent journalist joining us from kabul where as we mentioned Afghan Security forces at this hour fighting militants after rockets were fired during a speech by the president here thank you so much for bringing us up to date. Thank you. Now in just a few hours venezuelans will have the first indication as to whether
a still fear materials gambit which includes a Three Thousand percent increase in the minimum wage could bring fresh hardship such a large amounts Forty Five Million old full of hours per week per employee then you have to buy produce and its expensive how do you manage were going to have to fire employees what can we do the only himself would have to work for his own business. Experts warn the wage hike combined with higher fuel prices could backfire. If this is poorly executed in the end it could trigger tremendous Economic Contraction layoffs and a much more limited supply of goods.

Erica. Lets get more now joining us from the Venezuelan Capital Caracas is journalist Osgar Schlink i thank
you so much for joining us oscar this is really a radical plan here to try and curb Hyper Inflation we have a new currency being rolled out the minimum wage being raised how high are the hopes that this will actually help save venezuelas economy whoa whoa slow mo here but as well or not that but the government wants to make their supporters believe that they know what theyre doing and to understand what the government wants and listen just to look at these measures as political rather than to solve an economic crisis with a rising discontent even among former supporters political control over the private sector and society seems to be what is on the agenda for muito now there has been Little Information on the details of many of the measures neither were announced and this is created a lot of confusion in the streets so lets perience now we know that heavy smoke runs on chaos and with the country at the brink of collapse creating chaos could be
the key for my daughter to stay in power lets talk a little bit more about that chaos because in the wake of it i mean we seen many people trying to flee the country it appears you know venezuelans are continuing to do so bring us up to date on that front. Well that is wells have been fleeing for years now at a rapid pace this has never bothered the government many government leaders have said as whaler is better off without those who left and right to justice we call them as well migrants beggars and slaves so there is no real interest in plans to keep people in various where no but there might be plans to have more control over those that are still here and that is what many people are fearing so there might even be a rapid increase in immigrants leaving them to swear that in the coming months i ask her what is the mood on the streets because were hearing that supporters of president by does reforms theyve organized marches throughout the country today but on the other side we have the Opposition Calling for nationwide strikes and
protests how high are the tensions on the streets right now well tensions have been on the rise for a while now we have registered an increase in protests this year compared to last year that left over one hundred dead and thousands in prison the difference is that protests in Two Thousand And Eighteen are smaller and are targeted towards Medicine Shortages energy and Water Supply Crisis rather than politically and it includes core supporters an opposition away so if the Opposition Leaders are successful in channeling just discontent once again into a united front through large protests then we can see tensions escalating but with a large part of the population fleeing and another part fearful of change into the streets it might be difficult for the opposition to unite against.

Welcome to you martin what do you make of the timing of the popes announcement i mean why now this is been a topic for quite a while well i think that you know there was subsequently no way to stop the flood of news on the brochure that came out of pennsylvania so the grand jury presented
place to stop either there be uses or the cover up so its hard to say if were going to see anything sort of in a week or a week and a half on the other hand the fact of study this letter contained language that is quite new so were no longer the pope was no learning longer talking about since he was talking about crimes and the tone the change in tone also means that perhaps the vatican is looking at ways to essentially address crimes that of course would have to be a would justice systems from Around The World there are so many catholics out there who are just really disillusioned you know as this news this wave of news we have to say trickles through how can the pope regain the confidence of those catholics. Really think that there is snow Silver Bullet here i mean this will. To be a very long process of institutional change and the church is an enormous institution and the one thing that is very clear is that there is one question directly ahead of the pope and this question is whether he will turn the cases the
documents they have events and a goose ations to local authorities to investigate to punish but at the very same time to establish the systems to prevent further abuse so far there has been a policy of like a voluntary cooperation or right out prohibition to Church Members of bringing out to lunch no authority said with and this has to change the question is where this pope will allow it martin gak our religious Affairs Correspondent thank you so much for your insight.

On Now Monica Johns is here and were talking about turkey is troubled economy which apparently will not be getting any help from germany certainly not anytime soon and
certainly not financially immediately sarah berlin has played down a suggestion that germany should offer age to turkey and and did Swindling Economy the idea was brought up by a leading german politician who said economic stability in turkey was in everyones interest and right now turkey is anything but stable the league has lost half its value this year while inflation and the Unemployment Rate are increasing and critics say that the countrys president recha type add to one once the face off of the prospering Turkish Economy is now keeping the country from overcoming the current crisis. Whether its a bridge over the bosphorus and Istanbul Subway System or an imposing mosque hes president Richard No One is known for his began visions. The countrys Construction Sector has traditionally been an engine of economic growth. But recent events have
put the brakes on turkeys economy turkish banks and companies have accumulated Four Hundred Seventy Billion Dollars of foreign debt and as the lira plummets its getting ever harder to repay the Loans Analysts say Interest Rates need to be raised to offset the liras rapid decline they want the central bank to act independently of the government and believe the country should accept help from the International Monetary fund something to one has ruled out.

In an interview donald trump said he was quote not thrilled with the hikes he also refused to say if he believed in the feds independence powell said the committee will not bow to political pressure. That is something to discuss
with our man at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange are today outside the Frankfurt Stock Exchange corp of president s normally dont criticize the fed but breaking rules is not exactly anything new with donald trump is it. Yeah exactly monica well when you are the president of the United States you should be aware of a couple of things first there might be organizations or institutions like the f. B. I. Or like the Federal Reserve in the United States that you might not agree with but who can act completely independent even without your approval and in this interview donald trump has proven once again that he is either not aware of this or that he simply does not care and something what he said in this interview that he doesnt agree with the policy of the Federal Reserve is really considered in the financial world as a complete no go and it is also very surprising because it was donald trump himself who appointed Jeremy Powers as the new hands off the Federal Reserve after deciding
that the contract of janet yellen the previous test of mr power would not be extended now we know that donald trump once a week dollar but how weak exactly. Yeah exactly you already said
