pleasure and they still hope they can find victims a life under the ruins it is a race against time. north korea's leader hits back at donald trump as the country threatens to test a hydrogen bomb over the pacific because the u.s. president deranged and says he'll pay dearly for threatening to destroy a north korea. also coming up on the program germany's main parties in their final t.v. clash ahead of sunday's federal election will get the blow by blow analysis. hello and welcome i'm terry martin thanks for joining us. well it's been more than two days since a powerful earthquake in central mexico leveled buildings and killed almost three hundred people now rescue workers are racing against the clock in their search for survivors in the rubble and the window for finding people alive is closing we said
10:02 am
our correspondent carolyn ashame lloyd to see where one of the most desperate efforts is taking place at a primary school in mexico city. this has become the most important symbol of hope for mexico city after the earthquake it sounds far silence please someone might be calling for help under the rubble. volunteers are equipped at least with a spade or a hammer so they're not all as germany though every one helps with a hammer or with bare hands lifting stones have you found people. stones that yes of course a lot to do that while i was there at least eight people. but meanwhile there are hundreds of people willing to help around the colored buildings in the city some are even turned away by the authorities they ask for more control that's what they're doing but what is it about. losing it's about controlling the numbers
10:03 am
and i think there. once we are inside the end to see and good will of the people seems only many. people are working here for hours many of them for the last two days. they don't sound as who has been here for over twelve hours even fell unconscious but she still wants to help. that is why she was transferred from moving rubble to helping distribute food and beverage says. she strongly believes that there are still victims who are alive under the rubble. yes i really think so. this is why i'm still here. even though i fainted at least i can help a bit here. as. to when. i think it's about them so i can no longer do so because these are my people this
10:04 am
is my country i'm going to stay here at you where you. according to the major of mexico city at least forty buildings in the capital have collapsed like this one experts say that people could survive up to three days under the wings this is why the atmosphere witnessing here is very tense people and the pressure and they still hope they can find victims alive under the ruins it is a race against time. d.w. is currently not sure more they're reporting from mexico city well north korean leader kim jong un says he's determined to make u.s. president donald trump pay dearly for what he calls the most ferocious declaration of war in history that's after trump threatened to destroy north korea state media released this photo of kim reading the statement kim was responding to trump speech before the u.n. general assembly earlier this week came called trump's speech unprecedented rude nonsense from a doraine just dotard in new york north korea's foreign minister re on ho then
10:05 am
double down with this threat. i think the strongest ever hydrogen bomb test might be conducted in the pacific ocean . or earlier asked our correspondent jason strother in seoul whether north korea's threats to test a hydrogen bomb over the pacific were credible. well right now there is no indication that such a test is being prepared i haven't seen anything from south korean intelligence indicating that preparations are under way i mean and quite frankly depending on how the test was conducted let's say taking a a barge out into the middle of the pacific or even dropping it via an airplane i mean that would open up north korea to potential attack or retaliation from japan or the united states of course if north korea were to shoot a missile carrying
10:06 am
a nuclear warhead into the pacific it would certainly demonstrate that it has mastered the technology to mount a warhead onto a rocket when trump announced new sanctions yesterday on korea he made an interesting intriguing remark chasten let's listen in china central bank has told their other vacs it's a massive banking system to immediately stop doing business with north korea just happened just reported so president trump there saying the that he's got cooperation in pressing north korea adjacent if these sanctions are actually implemented how much would it hurt north korea. well beijing has not said publicly yet that it has asked the central bank to pass these measures of
10:07 am
course china likes to kind of stay behind the curtain when it comes to dealing with north korea i'd rather not discuss these things openly certainly if chinese banks were to stop doing business with north korean entities that would put a hurt on the regime but it all but that would not stop much of the cross border trade that's going on between china and north korea. it also isn't clear there's also no reason really to expect that china would would tighten the stranglehold around kim jong un's regime so tightly that it would cause a collapse because at the end of the day china does not want to see a north korea taken over by south korea backed up by the u.s. military jason to what degree do you think this crisis is becoming a personal duel between trump and kim. certainly
10:08 am
judging by kim jong un's statement today he did not take very kindly to being referred to as a rocket man the vice president trump you know this is a thing that is a relatively new phenomenon in the u.s. north korean relationship very used to pyongyang sending unleashing very bellicose rhetoric calling names but we've never had the u.s. president before in gage in name calling whether or not this really gets at the tos egos will be remain will be remain to be seen chasten thank you so much journalist ration struggler there talking to us from seoul south korea. well rocket man that was trump's phrase old beast a lunatic is the literal translation of the korean word kim used in his statement to describe tromp north korea's state news agency however chose the more archaic
10:09 am
heard now that shakespearean insult is a top trending word on merriam webster with the american english dictionary tweeting kim jong un calls trump a mentally deranged us dotard searches for dotard are high as a kite when many on twitter are noting the two leaders respective grasp of english one user sums it up when kim jong knows better english words than the president of the united states has tag well but not everyone thinks it's so funny some social media reaction recalls the big picture here user writes that awkward feeling when you agree that pot is the president united states is indeed a dotard but also must cope with impending nuclear annihilation. now let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world today iran's president hassan rouhani has vowed to strengthen his country's arsenal of missiles he says iran needs them as

a deterrent to any aggressors the move comes despite criticism from the u.s. and friends want to reconsider have been surveying the damage to their island now that hurricane maria has moved off shore the u.s. caribbean territory remains without power after being hit by the storm on wednesday authorities say restoring electricity could take months it was the strongest hurricane to hit quite a rica in eighty years. and in manila thousands of people have demonstrated against philippine president roderigo to terror to they demanded an end to extradition killings as part of his drug war and protested against detaches threat to introduce martial law organizers say around twenty thousand people took part. germany's federal elections are coming up this sunday and parties here have been making their final push ahead of the vote last night candidates from seven parties
10:11 am
clashed live in a t.v. debate with the evening producing some real skirmishes charlotte pot says more. it was their last chance to sway german vote is ahead of polling on sunday representatives from the country's seven biggest parties took to the stage when but could they sell their vision of the future to view as a. dutch monday germany doing well but that doesn't mean that all of its people gemini's a wealthy country but we have to make so to invest in the future. there was broad agreement on a number of issues spending more on digital infrastructure for example and the need for thousands more police officers in fact on domestic security there was competition to see who could talk toughest less to my body police officers must be equipped with body comes as a matter of course and i think they need smart technology to video surveillance phone surveillance the possibility to trace groups and messenger to. where
10:12 am
one might wonder where martin schulz an angler merkel the two top candidates skipped the event sending their deputies instead they had no qualms about clashing with their rivals something critics say has been lacking in the election campaign one big question they faced was how to deal with the far right alternative for germany or a.f.d. if as expected it enters parliament. you're in typical form tonight always starting with a provocation. i haven't provoked anyone yet here you have the days now and here you are now sitting comfortably and pretending that everything's all right with you and your party for me it's not ok i want to make that clear. you want to leave the european union at a time in the world where if it didn't exist it would need to be founded right now . a stiff challenge to the f.t.'s populous message still they could well finish third biggest party on sunday but three other parties also have a shot at that
10:13 am
a sign of germany's fractured political landscape just ahead of the election. political correspondent of course was following last night's debate as well let's pick up on that last point there in charlotte's report which focused on what party is going to be the third biggest and the bonus target could well be the far right they have to coordinate. yes indeed it looks very much like that will be the case and the latest polls show the f.t. gaining slightly it's not eleven percent of the vote that would make it probably the largest third largest party in parliament and there is always a certain amount of doubt when where polls are concerned that regard the right wing populists because there is a feeling that a lot of voters do not honestly say that they're going to vote for those right wing party because that is still regarded in germany with quite a lot of. disfavor quite a lot of the. condemnation and under these circumstances is possible that there
10:14 am
will be in fact a kind of hidden vote for the f.t. that will only come out in the actual polls. talk to us more about last night's debate hans do you think it helped any undecided voters make up their mind because i understand about forty percent of the electorate haven't made up their mind here is that is true there is still a large section of the electorate that has said so far that they have not yet decided what party to vote for. last night's debate did was an actual debate there was quite a lot of fierce exchange of views i think most clearly the profile that was most clear was the profile on the extremes of the political spectrum on the one hand the a of d. which in fact did not participate very strongly in this debate was bipolar but was attacked by all the others and on the other side the far left party which of obviously has the advantage of being able to simply to attack everybody and managed
10:15 am
to do that pretty well in the center of the political spectrum it was clear that there was a lot of consensus on the major issues so little infighting as it were in the center thanks so much political correspondent hunter blunt. well germany's election will have europe's full attention on sunday but today all eyes are on britain's prime minister as she delivers a speech spelling out her country's key positions on breaks that theresa may is hoping to convince european leaders that britain is ready to cut a fair and of or steal after major tensions in our own government should be speaking later today in the italian city of florence our correspondent has been looking at the many divisive issues with money top of the list. what does bracks it have in common with a night out at the pump when the funds over someone has to pick up the bill it's a comparison many brits will understand. and maybe that is exactly why do you
10:16 am
commission chose this example to demonstrate why the u.k. by federal it's bunch of commitments in full. it is. like going to the pub with twenty seven friends your the round of beer but then you cannot leave well the party continues if you want to stay friends you pay your share of the final bill and for britain that's a hefty sixty billion euros. let's take a look at the biggest portion of the bill infrastructure signs and environmental projects such as this one in france all of these projects have been approved by e.u. member states but many still need to be paid for the u.k. share here amounts to thirty billion euros. another liability is pensions one
10:17 am
option would be for the u.k. to only pay the costs of british e.u. officials but most experts agree london is liable for its share of all e.u. officials that's worth nine billion euros on the divorce bill the nationality doesn't matter or european union employees of iraq and the european union better and the united kingdom why it was a member benefiting from the single market and other european facilities now some good news for lunch the u.k. has a share of the e.u.'s property and cash assets that will offset the brics a bill by nine billion euros but will they have to pay this bill you know very think legal sense do you need to pay a penny. because when do you think you all european union laws cease to apply to the united kingdom including the north that govern the financial contributions to the water but the e.u.
10:18 am
parliaments chief directed to go she tells me a good future relationship will require a settled bill. i have no experience in divorcing but i know that in a divorce. you cannot walk out of the house and letting the other family members alone without taking your financial responsibility which takes us right back to the negotiating table. who's going to pay for the last round. of my colleague they're working very hard in brussels for more on theresa may is a much anticipated speech he joins us now from brussels good morning they are a lot of suspense surrounding theresa may speech what are officials in brussels bracing for without a doubt you officials will follow the speech very closely but the prospects that the reason may will call bracks it not point of departure or an end to something
10:19 am
but the beginning of a great future relationship and that is at least how history she's expected to be to say and we'll remember this point of departure of this. that is nothing that gets anyone excited here in brussels the chief negotiator michele been able to very clear when he said he's rather puzzled that even at this point with eighteen months to go the u.k. has not been able to come across with concrete commitments on the key questions of it well concrete commitments hard numbers that's what many people are looking for in her speech today theresa may is expected to say that the u.k. will pay roughly twenty billion euros to the e.u. during a post bragg's a transition period with that break the deadlock in a p.c. with a szell's. that would of course be a step forward that would be one of those concrete commitments the e.u. is looking for where negotiations could start but if course as i've said in my
10:20 am
piece in the report this is just a fraction of the actual breaks that bill we're looking at the sixty billion twenty billion that wouldn't even include for instance the question of pensions though there's a whole list of other issues parts of them not even in my report which have to be tackled so the twenty billion frankly a step forward what about the rumors that have been circulating that negotiations have run completely into the ground that there is a deadlock is that your impression it really depends which side you tend to believe that there is of course david davis the press it resents to from the u.k. who says the discussions are fruitful which is a far cry from actual agreement and there is michele dunne you out ruled that there is actually a deadlock but who said we know we we have not made sufficient progress now i would say. the e.u.
10:21 am
side tends to be able to be more honest about the actual state of affairs because they have not made the promise to their electorate that bracks it can be a huge success for the e.u. the backs of negotiations have always been about damage control and about a lose lose situation that europe is about to face thank you so much for now. in brussels. well here in germany the fight for air balloons seems to be coming to an end chronical us and that area it looks like there is a champion german flag carrier is poised to snatch of the largest chunk of bankrupt in that is according to local media reports citing inside sources looked on as reported to be considering a takeover of the bankrupt airline subsidiary nikky as part of a bid to cough up the company the report say easy jet and condo to split evidence remaining assets the airline now says the kosi asians will continue until october

talking with lufthansa with condo and also with easyjet and that those smaller bidders are already out of the already received a statement from one of the smaller bidders his name is mr worley used to be the owner of a smaller airline in the past here in germany he was saying that he is speechless on how you know basically a tax money is being spent on this credit that air berlin received and that brand you know with this is going to be destroyed because you know what's going to be most likely to happen you know when a big airline really takes over those big parts of air berlin we are not going to see anymore in the future the logo of air berlin on airplanes well daniel if you can put it in a nut shell of what this looked on so have the other stand. what i can tell you you know we're always talking about that interesting to take over air berlin and the reality is
