and you have the regional level. i'm quite sure that in the origin level there will be most salient issues to be discussed. iran and from us on the bilateral. my hope is, i don't know if there will lose something concrete. my hope is that egypt will change. it stands because we have to walk the heart to worse. if you are the real relationship on these bilateral level, it doesn't exist. the security cooperation is the bedrock up the relationship between the 2 countries. and since he came to power 8 years ago, intelligence and military ties have grown stronger. israel agreeing that the gyptian forces in breach of the cam david accord, entered the demilitarized zone in the sign a peninsula to fight isolate. and then there's a prime concern for both countries. egypt broke

a deceased fire during the 11 days warm, gaza in may. turning that into a long term cessation of hostilities has proven more difficult. both countries, also wary of iran's growing influence at their borders. but the middle east is changing and with it, the nature of the ties between egypt and israel stance appears to be more embracing . we have to remember that this comes against the backdrop of the normalization agreements that were signed last year between israel and 4 era countries. this represents a type of opportunity for a country like egypt to become more public, if you will, about its relationship with israel. obviously there's a, there's a strategic relationship there, there's an economic relationship. but i think the cc administration or the gc regime rather views this as an opportunity to become more public, a chance to curry favor with the, the bite and administration in the united states. bennett has described

enough to make its neighbors worry to hear when resumption of nuclear missile activities clearly shows that it is urgent to have engagement and dialogue with north korea to find a fundamental solution to such problems. single kid or if it's true that north korea fired a missile with a range of 1500 kilometers, it's threatening the peace and safety of japan and its surrounding region. we are highly concerned about this ah, described as a strategic weapon. it's full of provocative than the ballistic missiles, nor careers tested in the past and isn't subject to un sanctions, but seems intended as a reminder from north korea of its military strength. i've been even the chinese are concerned about this to write any proper tiny scholars would event. and you know, if you watch chinese tv and stuff like that, they actually talk about like north korea or pullover and sort of restrain itself. right? but if you're north korea, you're building these weapons is a great way to get the locals to pay attention. it's kind of

on security and raw materials in the region. german politicians are primarily interested in the evacuation of afghans who want to leave the country as are going in the absolute failure of the asylum. immigration policy will go down in the history books as the creature failure of chancellor anglo term india to shop among the mainstream parties. the view is different and closer. standing for the social democrats in central berlin. she says, germany should be looking to allow skilled refugees to work as soon as possible. i think what is really important that we drop all the rules that say right now that people cannot work from day one. equip that is very important to us that people should be able to work from day one when they come here, no matter which is the time at the moment. but of course, it should be regulated. what almost all political parties agree on is that germany face is a growing shortage of workers caused by an ever aging population. many economists

believe that as many as $400.00 fires new migrants every year on needed to fill the gap. but if not, then we have a tremendous problem with all our social security systems. first and foremost, the pension system. then we face a tremendous issue. how many people pay into the relationship of how many people have entered the pension h? and that means if this problem is not solved by a migration, people will have to work longer or the pension has to be reduced even further. in 2015 angle, american opened the borders to syrian refugees in a humanitarian gesture, saying germany could do it. she even post a selfies at the time with syrian citizens, like an us more money. now, 6 years on he lives in berlin and he's hoping one day to become a german citizen. he says he will miss mackerel in office when we all wish or i am

very sad and worried about the future. she is going now and won't be around anymore . but she has a private life and i'm worried now about the refugee policies and many other topics to see what will now change and whether things get better or worse. and if the current opinion, polls are accurate, then a left leaning government is the most likely result of this election. but with pulling day drawing nearer, there are few certainty of dominant came al jazeera and kind of take this in the past. our lawyers for britain's prince, andrew have argued, he has not been serv. legal papers, in a case bought by women who accuse him of sexual assault. junior ukraine, launched a civil case against the prince last year. she claims he sexually assaulted her decades ago and she was 17. jeffrey was an accuser convicted, sex offender, jeffrey epstein. claims she was assaulted by the prince on several occasions. the queen's char deny is all the allegations against him. the next hearing will be in

new york in a month. more than we can speak to lawyer there behind. she joins us live from washington, d. c. thanks very much indeed for being with us. so brings up to see what, what did the judge make of printers, noise argue that the papers have not been served. well, the judge isn't, you know, pretty is not too happy with them. and he's saying, you know, this just a technicality that they were probably served. okay. and let's just get on with the case. let's just get on with the substance of any rebuke, the lawyers, because it looks like prince andrew has been trying to evade service and, and the us judges really do not look lightly when any defendants that know through the lawsuit. now he's about to be start with some of the process to appear in court, and then just tries to evade and avoid service. so the judges and really having, having it on prince andrew's side. and what was the argument? what did they, what was the sort of argument saying that they hadn't been said properly? well, even though prince andrew is a british role and not every day that

a u. s. y has to serve a british, were all these, treat it the same as any other person who has is tried, is that charge, but who is a defendant in a civil lawsuit which accept that it's an international case and he's and then you can in the cases in the united states, and so the rules of the hey, convention happy fall and not to get technical. and that basically the local courts in the u. k. have to be involved with the serving of the paperwork. it's not back to mr. phrase lawyers would just send them directly to him and he would be signed and he would get them. so i'm sure that the attorneys have more than likely got it all the i's and cross the t's in terms of serving prince andrew. so when it goes back to court, if the judge then does decide that it has, will been probably, what does that mean for prince andrew? what things well, this is the civil case that we have to be clear about. it's not a criminal case, so it doesn't really have to respond on this. in that case, the judgement with the interest against him for

a monetary amount of money. i doubt if he's going to do that. i think it is. lawyers will respond if he has to serve properly because for any loss to, to go forward. the defendant, the person who is being sued for money damages must be served with the papers. they don't have to certainly have to be served personally. and that may be what he's trying to say, particularly when you're dating service or attempting to evade service. so if he is determined to have them properly with the papers and everything is in order, you will have 21 days to respond to the allegations in the last 2 in friday by his attorney's, where he has either a mirror or deny or, you know, bring up, whatever defense, if he's going to break, bring up and legal documents to the court. 21 days is what he'll have back to. the court makes this, it makes it ruling. and why has virginia afraid chosen to file it at this point? and in new york, what was the significance of that? well, i can tell you what the significance of new york is. i cannot get into virginia

your phrase head and say why she decided to file at this particular time. that is something that she would only know, but the case is found in new york because one of the allegations is that prince andrew. and there's a photo of that prince andrew when projected to fray was a minor meaning. she was under the age of 18. he had sexual relations with sexually assaulted her improper sexual relations with her in manhattan. and so that's why the case is originating in the state of new york in manhattan. thank you very much indeed for joining us. thank you. debbie hines, thank you. is the news of london still ahead a last line of defense rights groups. one of the shop rise in the killings of activists defending land and livelihoods. investors strongly indebted chinese property fun, ever ground, as the likelihood of it being dismantled grows. and his emotional night for novak
