government couldn't contain their joy after an intense day in which troops re talk cancellations including an oil and gas field and a military base. cook an oil rich province claimed by both kurds and the iraqi government had been under kurdish control since a rocky forces fled an islamic state militia and swept through the region in twenty fourteen. it comes three weeks after residents in the kurdistan region voted overwhelmingly in favor of independence from baghdad in a controversial referendum. thousands of kurds fled the city ahead of monday's iraqi advance. of summer we're heading to where bill because the situation is getting worse the iraqi troops have entered and there's no way we could stay on the run up of the kids were terrified and we were afraid that there would be clashes and mortars would fall on us that's what i'm worried about.
12:04 pm
prior to the retaking of kirkuk but dunn said it didn't want an armed confrontation but kurdish peshmerga leaders have said the iraqi advancement is a declaration of war. now with me i have florian oil journalist who has reported extensively from iraq including kid welcome from afar and he will often embedded with iraqi forces it seems they have taken control of many of the disputed regions what is the latest you're hearing about the offensive well after taking a cook quite easily yesterday is there now also have moved troops interesting. syrian border and everest closer to the iranian border and also moved on to that was proof they controlled by the kurds around the city. and it seems to me that the peshmerga retreated without a fight today after that where some clashes yesterday now give us some context why is this certain area of northern iraq. considered disputed regions and this was
12:05 pm
territory that was not part of they did not become part of the autonomous. coach autonomous zone after the second gulf war which the kurds very much see as part of a greater kurdistan why is that because goats on a majority that know these areas are ethnically mixed and there's no real certainty as to who provides an majority there where there's arabs talk we're not kurds because there haven't been any sense of stand for generations for decades so there's no real clarity there but it's technically iraqi territory not kurdish apart the kurdish zone now this iraqi army offensive comes shortly after the kids held a referendum where they overwhelmingly voted in favor of independence on the concerns that the iraqi army might now push into what is considered autonomy goodish areas. there will be concerns personally i don't really share those i think the strain of the kurdish regional government is so dire in any case that the measures that the
12:06 pm
iraqi government to take and nonmilitary measures are strong enough to bring a bill to its field over time and how did this see this conflict evolving florin for example iraq is a largely shia country do you see this conflict between the shia led government and the turks and the goods i beg your pardon escalating. i think they have pesky lated as as much as they possibly can again i don't think there will be iraqi units moving into the autonomous zone itself. and you have to remember that these areas that the iraqis are moving to are part of the iraqi territory and i think once they have reclaimed those i think they will hold their advance but that's not accepted by the code as you've said the bush medica have redrawn for for now but is that going to stay with that be a state or would they try to retake this which they consider as a part of the autonomous region. given that they have drawn largely without
12:07 pm
a fight be surprised if they now suddenly change their talk and start attacking the iraqi army i think they advance by the iraqis will not become testers fluorine noyo for genesis was extensively covered in the iraqi conflict thank you very much for joining us now hopes of a high for some on saddam when it became the youngest nation six years ago but today the country is in a disastrous state more than four million people have been forced to flee their homes because of an ongoing civil war more than six million people need food aid to survive before the struggle of one woman to try to put food on the table for her family. honey has been waiting for this moment for six weeks. she's walked four hours from her village to the refugee camp inventive to get food
12:08 pm
to feed her family. i'm very grateful now i've got some beans next comes the children's food and the grain and oil to. the ngo that hunger hits from germany together with the u.n. world food program provides food for more than two hundred thousand people here every month under the most difficult circumstances. there are frequent attacks which require u.n. soldiers to protect the camp. but hanna doesn't live in the camp for the mother of four the most dangerous part of her journey is just about to begin. transporting the food to the village is very difficult but i have no choice my family has starving who are woman but if i take everything at once armed men will
12:09 pm
take it all away from me so i have to make several trips. if i have only a little bit on me then they can only take part of the food away with the. government troops and rebels have been fighting here for years but what started as a political conflict between the president and his vice president quickly took on ethnic dimensions pitting the two largest ethnic groups the dinka and the new or against each other. the minister for humanitarian affairs is seen as one of the few balanced voices inside the government he admits mistakes have been made. people into their own hands even within the government that i'm some. individuals. and that's why i don't know whether you heard that some people were arrested and being taken to court but people like qana now already have little access to the courts and justice before embarking on the treacherous hike back to where home
12:10 pm
village hannah visits her mother in the camp. hannah says she feels abandoned by her husband who has gone underground to fight with a rebel group by the international community because of the continual difficulty to keep food on her table and above all by her own government who soldiers she lives in fear of as she makes her way back home. let's take a look at some other stories making news around the world in afghanistan at least fourteen people have been killed in an ongoing suicide and gun attack at a police academy the taliban has claimed the attack in the eastern province of the militants also earlier killed seven people in nearby got the province office setting off a bomb outside the police headquarters and then storming the building firefighters in portugal are battling hundreds of wildfires in the north and center of the
12:11 pm
country so far at least thirty six people have been killed higher than average temperatures strong winds and drought have made this the raw still for fires since two thousand and six in island a powerful storm killed at least three people and knocked out power to tens of thousands of people what started as hurrican ophelia in the atlantic ocean had weakened by the time it shores but gusts of up to one hundred thirty kilometers per hour led authorities to ground and shots goes down. from the business just joins me now and helena is aiming high tell us about its latest venture well that's right sights set on italy now and you remember of course that lufthansa has just bought parts of it as well but now lufthansa which is germany's largest airline has put a bid in for a tally of us italy's ailing flag carrier and i love cancer and british budget
12:12 pm
airline easyjet two of the seven companies that handed in sealed envelopes yesterday in the hope of scoring parts of the italian airline the battle to carve up is heating up the ailing airline has only made a profit a few times in its seventy year history. among the big names interested germany's last turns its reportedly offering half a billion euros for parts of the airline the air giant is only interested in aviation business and not its ground operations if that deal goes ahead half of the employees of italy's largest airline could lose their jobs that's around six thousand people another bidder is british budget carrier easy just put it to only once a slice of the pie europe's largest budget airline ryanair has already withdrawn its bid for the airline office for parts of may not find favor in rome which wants to sell the whole airline. and joining us now from frankfurt is van back
12:13 pm
he's the head of the monopolies commission that's an independent group which advises the german government on competition questions thank you very much for being with us today now look cancer has put in four parts of the tally as some say it's already been allowed to simply pick the best bits of do you agree with that assessment. times has taken part of a billion but you have twin cities that it's the largest ally and company in germany buying the second largest so there are a lot of competition issues arising saw when you mention some best parts they have to take care that it only takes those parts where no competition issues come up or what advice did your panel give to the german government regarding the case and do you feel that they took your advice on board that it was a fair that is acting in a fair manner yes that's action issues the says a procedural vote ok so the bill in mint insolvent sends
12:14 pm
a creator's committee took over and they decided to sell parts to the tons and other parts of the negotiation so that's ok but at an early stage the german government already expressed its interest that lufthansa should take at least part of it in and i think that's a private companies they are negotiating with each other and so it's not so drop of the government having said that it's a. is a good company so it's there's no harm in this that lufthansa buy some parts if it's not for competition issues so what we've seen now is said to groups and commission will investigate this merger and if there are complaints so if their review broadens to competition issues then i guess you drew a conclusion will step in well what will it mean for us the passenger. so i think we have to wait until the decision of the group commission will be made and it's you know they have to investigate blind by line because you know if you fly from i know from from from frankfurt to london it's no eternity of to fly to or
12:15 pm
to paris instead so so they have to investigate every line what is it is what is the competition situation there and you know is that ok is it the fans of bias evelyn and that line or not and otherwise they have to give up slots so the right to start in the end i guess they have to give up some of the slots if you know him as a general remark you know it's a lot is the largest one in germany spying the second largest it's not good for competition. van but head of the monopolies commission in germany thank you very much for your insights. now to a move that could go u.s. president donald trump european aviation giant bus has acquired a majority stake in it will body is ailing c. series passenger jet business at no costs now the move would enable the canadian plane maker to use an amp assembly line in the united states possibly bypassing tons of tires imposed by the u.s. government. so let's bring our
12:16 pm
way over to our financial correspondent and out of who's in who's in frankfurt conrad clarify this for us is this a brilliant move by boeing badia an ad boss or is it too blunt too simple an effort to try and avoid those terrorists. if this were only about the terrorists helena it probably wouldn't work according to a fact sheet by the us government on this matter the duties were applied to see series planes regardless of whether they enter the us fully or partially assembled so it's quite likely that the us department of commerce will continue to impose punitive tariffs on the parts which are no going to be imported to alabama from canada and from northern ireland nevertheless this is a brilliant move for airbus and bob barr do you bombard you get a lot of money resources a strong partner in this political battle with the americans and of course in
12:17 pm
developing and selling its airplane and ever us on the other hand gets a smaller plane in its portfolio something it doesn't have yet and of course. gets a very modern airplane here so this is what people often call a win win situation and come around the dispute over state subsidies in the aviation industry certainly is not new but why is it ramped up so much lately. well competition has ramped up as well the chinese have entered the market and they're getting better in terms of technology by the hour the russians have become more active again and especially when it comes to smaller planes there's still a few more smaller competitors in this market and as you know building especially developing new planes is very expensive and state subsidies are very common here of course the conflict about those subsidies has become louder and tougher

12:20 pm
crimean island which is home to some four hundred paris and people. family friend luke friend o. told the crowd her death would not be in vain. i think definitely was not only a journalist and an absolutely fearless human being but. a fourth pillar of our democracy and that today's heinous crime was was not only against a human being against a journalist but against a pillar of everyone's democracy and i i hope that's why i know the hell life is is it was definitely not for nothing and i'm sure that the torch will be carried by somebody else. sees prime minister joseph miscount who kind of wanted to leave here accused of wrongdoing earlier this year called her killing a barbaric attack on press freedom. the journalist had revealed that the panama papers allegedly showed the prime minister's wife owned

a journalist and furthermore it is journalists a.b. about zhan tweeted this is a very sad day for freedom of speech journalism this is a reprehensible and unforgivable terrorist attack and european parliament president on your tie jani described. as a tragic example of a journalist who sacrificed her life to seek out the truth she won't be forgotten he said joining me now from mortar is one of death closest friends grace he is a digital editor of the times off more tom foreman thank you very much for joining us this must be a very difficult time for you to tell us what are your thoughts when you heard about this car bomb attack and the loss of deafening in this attack. no i mean look definitely going to get it is. quite possibly the most controversial of journalists ever lived in malta case she was
12:23 pm
a no holds barred kind of writer she used to. call a spade a spade she used to go overboard sometimes which proclaims she used to dig in to put people's personal lives there were. certain ethical john standards that's i think she went overboard sometimes but in reality she was a very very good journalist she was still one of the ones who were dark and deeply into and to the crime scene the crime criminals drug gangs and. money launderers she was the first to also break the paper scandal which had links to offer more. government officials to the pentagon papers so she was always in the line fire line of fire and he was. probably resented it will measure and she would take on everybody she even took on any describe you as a friend i am not really a friend of hers but i mean she i respect we're expected to each other's connie but
12:24 pm
in reality she just decided that nobody is untouchable but of course in the line of fire was always the ruling labor governments now what was it that she was investigating which would put her in the line of fire and make somebody so angry that they would want to take her life. take your pick periodicity. she wrote about drug barons she wrote about money launderers and. she spoke about the pandemic papers in detail shoot to kill on everybody that's she felt didn't apply the rule of law or the what people who went astray from from what you're told the norms of society should show it's more just rife with corruption she felt it was just about money and nothing else so trust me it's going to be really difficult for any investigators to try to get to the bottom of it and the problem is the way
12:25 pm
she was killed yes it was not some random shooting you know she was blown up into smithereens. this is a kind of mafia pitting style and you know her car was blown up right outside her residence. so this is not just some random killer here this is just must be more organized than that henman a digital editor of the times of moore to thank you very much for talking to did. your work tend to sport on later today but does the club sign action in the champions eva gabor daughter one and leipsic facing do or die fixtures don't want to travel to cyprus having lost the opening two champions league games they must claim three points against upwell to have any hope of progressing to the knockout stage and to be. the portal in group g. they have to be awaiting their first ever win in the champions league setting
