a historic day for saudi society for men and women for years some saudi women have gone behind the wheel as part of a campaign with global support on social media even. this activist lost her job when she was caught others have gone to jail now they are celebrating their victory . saudi law and forces a strict form of islam known as well her business women have to obey strict dress codes they can't associate with unrelated men if they want to work travel access health care they need the consent or accompaniment of a male guardian. but slowly things changing on saturday women were allowed for the first time in to a national stadium for celebrations marking the kingdom's anniversary the movie's part of a program headed by the crown prince to modernize society and saudi women are

already wealthy well educated and ambitious and i do mean women now are two levels there in the government advisory council that duct is now women are in big positions so why shouldn't we join the men that matter most to our nation. and i want. that boldness would suggest that saudi women will carry on the fight for greater rights. and on social media we're seeing a lot of conversation about this development saudi women's rights activist malala sheriff who helped start a saudi women's right to drive campaign said it's just the start to end longstanding unjust laws that have always considered saudi women miners who are not trusted to drive their own destiny but optimistically added the rain begins with a single drop and i celebrate saudi women who have for decades fought for this and

shamed the regime for its massage any those women will liberate sisters from guardianship on the same time she questioned whether the right to drive would be subject to a male guardian's permission the saudi based twitter user is conflicted being a saudi i have mixed feelings about this happy and ashamed all at once but also many on social media remain skeptical one of washington d.c. based twitter calls it a step in the right direction but as long as the male guardianship system exists saudi women will still lack true freedom of movement. meanwhile arab and middle eastern policy analyst millionaire urged caution interpret in the announcement reminding us that it does not take effect straight away he tweeted the saudi order was about issuing driver's licenses to women by june twenty eighth teen pending committee recommendations this is far from letting women drive well

it's to somalia now where the internationally backed government there has been struggling with the job hottest insurgency for years in april president trump announced he was sending ground forces into the country to help fight the job stood up to reporters and repeaters men and young philip schultz out of this exclusive report on how the deployment is taking a heavy toll on the civilian population already devastated by three decades of civil war. but to a means to survive in somali it's a fitting name for this refugee camp on the outskirts of mogadishu where life is a struggle for the next meal the next bucket of water. fatty mind her daughter found refuge here two weeks ago they are still waiting for official assistance. but that's preferable to starving and where the islamist militant group is in control.

they would rather let us die than accept any aid from infidels. who are. not also hunger and up a few kilometers away in another refugee camp we need not a young man who is from barrier about sixty kilometers south of the capital at least ten civilians were killed there in an attack by somali and u.s. forces almost a month ago marianne's husband was among the dead. we are used to the fighting but this was by far the worst we've ever seen. in march the u.s. president on a trump ordered the u.s. military to intensify the war against al shabab bringing in special forces the militant group killed more than four thousand two hundred people last year its

leaders and agents with al qaeda want to establish a theocracy. and your government has been in place in mogadishu since february and it's getting a lot of international support but the drones and raids employed to combat terrorism are endangering the local population. and this is being exploited by al shabab one former member of the militant group tells us that the people in dispute it. areas feel the government backed soldiers just as much as the militants. but. the people here don't trust the government in the areas controlled by al-shabaab people fear the military will loot and right for them and al-shabaab has become skilled at tapping into those fears. peacekeeping troops from the african union also serving in somalia under the un the un special representative is convinced the

conflict cannot be solved only through military means. while he welcomes u.s. involvement he wants the main objective should be strengthening the new government and state institutions. too many civilians are being killed protected by insurgents particularly here in mogadishu because they're soft targets . yes if you are fighting an insurgency being very careful not to kill civilians is incredibly important because if you do you you lose the support of the population internally displaced somalis arrive in the capital every day almost seven million are dependent on emergency eight that's about half the country's population these women and children will likely have to wait years before they can live in a state that can keep them safe. them joined us here in the studio by sandra peters

she's a reporter you just heard in that piece and returned just a couple days ago from somalia welcome to the show sandra you've visited a number of refugee camps what's the biggest challenges people you are talking to are facing right now it's really you know finding basic means of survival getting enough food to getting enough clean drinking water to the conditions in the camps that we visited which are really very overcrowded where rather filthy so what you do see in a lot of people in the camps is they suffer from infections like upper respiratory infections. you know a lot of them have acute watery diarrhea and of course that can spread easily so it's really basic means of survival that people are fighting for ok these people of flood there from fighting this is raging in a number of locations in somalia how do they view the fighting what's their take on that is a become a part of life for them it has become a part of life like this one woman said we have very used to fighting but this one

was particularly bad and yes people are fleeing the fighting people who are fleeing hunger people are fleeing clashes rivaling clans because the drought is intensifying conflict which can be easily exploited by the militants so the conflict is intensifying in terms of drought and it's displacing more and more people if you look at mogadishu alone you're looking at the capital was about five hundred refugee camps in the greater vicinity about six hundred to seven hundred thousand refugees in mogadishu alone now with the environmental factors compounding an already difficult situation the clan warfare the stowing all the various rival groups the u.s. is now increased its military involvement to try to sort things out what were you hearing in somalia what's behind the u.s. deployment there what's its hope what's its goals well obviously one of the goats is to feel it is to defeat the islamic insurgency there and. you know the fear of

course is that by two thousand and twenty this might not be done two thousand and twenty is a year when the twenty two thousand african union troops are supposed you know to withdraw if so who is going to fill the vacuum i think the somali state is not nearly there yet we hardly have something like a somali army and the state itself hasn't really represented itself as an alternative that's why you see also still getting support from within the population what about the u.s. deployment has it inflamed the conflict has attempted down how's it influenced this three decade old civil war well we have seen ever since the trying to create came out which was in march we have seen thirteen you know operations with american involvement that we know off ten of them aerial attacks and three of them ground offensives and if that goes wrong of course you are in danger of the civilian population and you find both you find people who say look that's the enemy those

are invaders we don't want these people here and you find those that say we need them because otherwise we will never be able to get back our state and that state is a failed state it's still a long time to somalia will be able to protect its people and their protect their people from al-shabaab briefly if you can what kind of support does al shabaab do the radical islamic stuff right now well i mean they were driven out of all the major cities but they controlled areas in the countryside and they do have support there ok thanks very much for for that report sandra and for coming in for us today sandra peterson just back from somalia thanks very much. now to some of the other stories making the news at this hour president trump says he will fly next week to the u.s. territories of puerto rico and the virgin islands which have been devastated by two hurricanes traumas approve the release of more federal funds to help the relief effort now this comes after criticism that the president wasn't offering puerto

rico enough support arlen's prime minister leo varadkar is announced plans to hold a referendum next year on whether to ease abortion regulations the largely catholic country is some of the world's strictest abortion laws a total ban was lifted in two thousand and thirteen to allow exceptions only when the mother's life is in danger. or here in germany on the americans christian democrats have held their first parliamentary meeting since elections on sunday machall is now preparing to build a new coalition government now her christian democrats got down to business on tuesday the center right party has its work cut out for it in finding coalition partners the most plausible option is a three way coalition with the pro-business free democrats and the left leaning greens who also met on tuesday a survey by the german public broadcaster a or d. shows a majority of germans would back such a coalition so what might

a new german government look like hans brandt joins us more for more on that from our parliamentary studio yeah how could a coalition with the free democrats and the greens differ from the last government . well it's already still very much up in the air the coalition talks haven't really started yet at the moment all parties involved trying to position themselves at the moment are trying to say which matters are particularly important for them refugee question is a central question in that there is of course the. sister party of america in bavaria the christian social union who have been pushing for some sort of cap on the number of refugees that can enter germany berthe the other parties involved the free democrats and the greens have said that there's no no chance of such a cap being imposed so they are the positions at the moment are still very far

apart and it's very difficult to say how these things will work out and what kind of government will come out in the end the whole process is likely to take a long time if it's finished by christmas people will be satisfied. lost her party lost about one million voters to the far right in the right after that electoral catastrophe she said she wanted to win them back how can she do that. well she said that she's going to do that through application of policies through new adaptive policies from the side of her party i suspect this will mean especially additional measures additional strictures in terms of refugee and immigrants immigration policy there is much talk about this coalition having to decide on some sort of immigration law for germany which the country in fact does not have at the moment something similar to a point system like the canadians have for instance something along these lines but

those are the situation those are the kinds of issues on which i think it's going to try and win back those lost voters ok now her former coalition partners the social democrats say they're going on to the opposition benches they also lost about half a million voters to the a.f.d. what are they going to do to get those former supporters back well why the current while the conservatives seem to be moving more to the right the social democrats are indicating that their policies will move more to the left one indication of that is the new leader in parliament of the party who is likely to be elected today she's called under the law she's the current labor minister and comes from the left wing of the party so there seems to be a strong indication from the social democrats they're going to look for more left wing policies in order to increase their profile and increase the difference to the conservative hans thanks so much for that from our parliamentary studio.

we have some breaking news coming in right now thailand's top court has ruled that the former prime minister in guilt is guilty of negligence in looks verdict was a result we do in august but she threw the stories a curveball standers supporters when she failed to appear she is reportedly fled the country to join her brother in exile of course sentence in glove to five years in jail for failing to stop corruption in a government rice subsidy program well coming up in the show by nina prepare for their champions league clash with big spending p.s.g. get the but mostly the champions prevail against neymar and co. we'll take a look ahead to the big game. or if you need to get something off of your chest or could soon be more room to do that online helena right that's right brian i think the jury is still out as to

whether this is exactly what the wold needs right now but nevertheless if you've ever felt like he had more to say on twitter but you lacked the space to say it will soon you might be getting twice as much room to do so twitter announced it was testing out a two hundred eighty character limit within a small group on the micro messaging site and that's double the current stand bought experiment has received mixed reviews from all over the wall with many uses unable to see the value of the change but it is all change in the world of european transport siemens and alstom have announced a merger to make a huge european train build and now the french government has encouraged the deal which analysts say is a change of strategy the focus is now no longer on protecting french business but about creating a european powerhouse at a time when international competition is certainly fair. the fusion between siemens

and alstom is on track to create a new european giant in the train building business. in the near future the german i.c.e. and the french t.g.v. will come from a single manufacturer siemens wants to bring its entire train division in return for a fifty percent cut of the new firm which will be based in paris but they're not doing it entirely of their own free will. the rail construction and signposting market is in a state of advanced consolidation the chinese group c. r. c. is today bigger than alstom siemens and kind of his bomb body a combined the next step of this chinese group is in all likelihood continental europe where c.r.c. could rely on a purchase of a european manufacturers. even after the new firm is founded the pressure on the europeans will increase siemens has considered canadian company body a but the deal was reportedly derailed by bomb

body is shaky finances however if the competition authorities aren't all aboard that big european deal will hit the buffers. well let's talk through this now with . business good to see you that's how this why does such two big name companies even need to do this is that the sense that they're trying to tackle fierce competition from china because joining forces seems to be a good idea if we look at a competitor chinese c r r c. corporation is the biggest drolling stock manufacturer in the world and even though this new combined company buys humans and will have a projected revenue of fifteen billion euros per year sixty two thousand employees c.r.c. is still much bigger and the company is not only growing in china it's also trying to gain a foothold outside china it has just recently secured projects in britain and in

the czech republic and as i another high speed project in the u.k. so in order to meet that competition i think teaming up is a sensible move here but it's also a change of strategy from the french government in the past have been quite reluctant to companies to sell up so what been their reactions you know european side to the this time up well the idea of this tie up ties in nicely with french president a model marc rawls idea of a pro-business agenda on the one side and a new franco dermont partnership at the heart of a more integrated european union so this is this this deal basically symbolizes this whole vision on the. business scale backers of the deal usually side european airplane maker airbus as a as a good example where companies from four european countries have joined forces in order to form a competitor to u.s.

rival boeing so what we're looking at here many say is an airbus for the rail right but you cannot tell me that there hasn't been any backlash to this there has been backlash of course i mean that has been backlash from french opposition politicians maybe citing that this deal french france is now going to lose the influence over its iconic t.g.v. high speed train something that has symbolized the the french engineering skill for decades and also there's the concern about job losses because the new company targets synergies of almost half a billion euros per year and that usually comes along with job cuts all right christopher from the business thank you very much indeed. now you might not know the name james dyson the man behind me box now james dyson says he's investing almost to an all for you new road into developing an electric car it is quite a leap for the british inventor he's known more for his backless vacuum cleaners

but the new vehicle is set to be launched by twenty twenty now prosecutors in the united states have charged ten people including an executive with bribery and fruit that's following a widespread investigation into corruption in college basketball prosecutors accuse the manager of bribing athletes families to get players to attend the university sponsored by adams german sports or make it confirm the arrest of an executive on tuesday saying it was unaware of any wrongdoing on the. well sports news now with bryant and a bad law even on football i don't think it could avoid any worse actually to tuesday's action the champions league biggest match of the night was here in germany dortmund hosting defending champions real madrid dortmund hopes for an ob said dented in the eighteenth minute when gareth bale put the spatters side on top rail added another just after half time when who else were although fired home

hosted pole won back in the fifty fourth minute but with ten minutes to go and all those second sealed the points where we are dortmund have now played two and lost two in the champions league this season. well here's a look now at all of tuesday's champions league group phase action which featured a number of big victories as we saw their dortmund losing to real madrid fellow bonus league a club leipzig also defeated losing to the should toss of the mara border where as liverpool were held to a draw in moscow elsewhere there were big wins for matches city napoli porto and tottenham. well the german side bar in munich are of course of course a club with a rich european tradition but history will not do them any favors as they line up against my the p.s.g. the french club spent wildly over the summer putting together a star studded squad in the hope of joining europe's elite on the world's biggest

stage p.s.g. turned heads in the off season they saw and world football's hottest young talents killing them up a on loan from monaco with a top should of one hundred eighty million euro as they also shelled out a world record two hundred twenty two million euros for brazilian star neymar p.s.g. fans are excited the club's qatari owners are hoping the unprecedented spending spree will transform the french champions into a new european super power. but only success in europe's most prestigious club competition the champions league will deliver that status and p.s.g. won't be receiving any favors from their opponents. today we have many more enemies using the me. because other teams can say that we are serious and know the players that we have bought this year and in past years. says it will
