just because you can see violence against children doesn't mean it isn't there make the invisible visible of us might violence against children disappear. this is deja news coming to you live from berlin ungrammatical starts what could be the toughest talks of her career three weeks after the election she's meeting doctors from the left and the right to try and forge a new governing coalition but does she have the authority to seal the deal also

coming up chinese president xi jinping sets out his vision for the country at the start of the communist party congress he says his dream is to turn china into a global superpower. and the rooms of rock are it was the heart of the islamic states brutal regime now the city has fallen to us back to seven militia but does the loss of the city mean the i guess is finished. color of a warm welcome to you i'm on the third cheema the early one month after germans went to the polls chancer uncle american is beginning the complex task of forming the next governing coalition megas conservatives are holding preliminary talks with its likely partners in the future government the pro business free democrats and

the green party because the colors of these parties make up the jamaican flag this is known as the jamaica coalition for now that aims to get all parties to agree to launch a formal coalition talks for. that could prove tricky while this broad consensus on german foreign policy makers hopeful partners have major differences over germany's positions on for example ted a-t. on migration as when as energy policy let's not was straight to political correspondent hans brunt. let me see ok so this is you're seeing a picture of the german parliament of that is hundreds of grandstanding very close to two of the jailed one dissenting towns under metis trying to build a coalition with bodies which have why do they different positions will never governed in a national coalition difficult is that going to be it's going to be pretty

difficult obviously i'm going back is in charge of these talks she is the leader of the majority party it's all taking place formally at her invitation but obviously with the greens environmentalist greens on the one hand and on the other hand those coalition or macro system party of the christian social union from bavaria on the other hand this is the spectrum that has to be covered in these talks and i think in the end one has to say that biggest problems could actually be within marcos own political party with her sister party which is at the moment weakened by recent election results very worried about coming elections in its own region and very and southern germany and pushing for a much more right wing or a much more conservative agenda so that'll be where the pressure will come come from at least initially so as you said she's under tremendous pressure you mentioned that she's facing trouble from system bodies that were also facing

trouble within her own conservative party she how much how she being reconned by all of the last election results want to see the u.s. had in decades. well so far america has not has managed to keep her party in line and for the party politicians the party leadership to follow her line which is to continue with the policies that she has been pursuing for the last. ten ten or more years and. not move to the right with her policies this is obviously also necessary in order to bring the other parties in these coalition provisional talks on side to especially the greens especially on issues such as migration but also on environmental issues and market liberal free democrats as well need to be given some sort of access to policy as it were not good at the moment is managing to keep the policy at the center of the political spectrum and also in full by talk someone who stopped in that building behind you

with the f.t.p. party the pro-business party is what is the green body went down in germany expect to get a new governing coalition or is there a possibility that after this fractured man did they could be fresh elections well everyone is expecting the talks to take a very long time several weeks at least people are saying if we have a coalition treaty as it were by christmas in other words late december that would be good going in this building behind me that the talks are likely to continue for months if they do fail there is a possibility that there might be new elections but at the moment that seems very unlikely right tang's fanta political correspondent thank you very much ok listen take a look at some of the stories making news around the was a top kenyan election official has quit and said the country just days before i believe on off the presidential votes that resident of congress said that next

week's election would not be free and fair last week opposition leader. of the presidential runoff citing illegalities. amazon studios chief roy price is resigned following sexual harassment claims by a producer working on an amazon t.v. series the accusations come in the wake of the harvey weinstein scandal rocking hollywood price has also been accused of ignoring rosemont garments claims that weinstein raped her. turning out to china where president xi jinping says his country is facing a bright future but also severe challenges his current comments come as the opened the communist party congress in beijing he also said china would become a strong power and a leader on the world stage by two thousand and fifty the meeting brings together the early twenty three hundred delegates in the coming days they agree on policies

to guide the country over the next five years. so what will be agreed by the party congress is huge interest in the proceedings then to talk about that i'm joined in the studio by a china expert by band botching the better month. foundation thank you very much now in these proceedings of the communist party secretly a closed door sessions we don't know what's happening what should we be looking out for do you think well i think the most interesting moment is going to be next week on tuesday the final session that's when the the new core leadership group is going to be revealed and that's when we will know whether all the power struggles that have been happening over the last couple of months will have come to the result that many expect that he can ping will be all powerful or whether other fractions in the party have actually prevailed and remain some of the power that they have

had in previous government so they could be active within the party they could be some kind of challenges to season ping but i want to talk about china's position in the world this mean expanding its influence in many parts of the world with infrastructure projects for example in africa in parts of asia has been building boats some say in fact that she didn't bring is the world's most powerful leader share that assessment. i think it definitely is the man of the minute the leadership vacuum that the u.s. has produced the weakness of europe is definitely very helpful to china's ambitions to play a bigger role on. in global affairs the big question is how does china and how does she want to use this role they don't want to be dragged into responsibility for all kinds of issues and problems that they don't have an immediate interest to be involved in so they have been rather reluctant to play

a bigger role in a lot of institutions they're very picky about the subjects that they want to be involved and how do you see china playing a role in the north korean crisis the two countries have very very close ties and china is north korea's closest ally. it is and it is really up to china to make a big effort to solve this problem one of the big problems that we have now though is that north korea is not only suspicious of the u.s. it's also become very suspicious of china and now that china that north korea actually has nuclear weapons and is a real threat it's become much much more difficult for china to push them. to some kind of compromise. in this very dangerous situation that advice from the battle months that it's lunch to thank you very much for that assessment. helen now

from the businesses and the proceedings in china of course being closely watched by australia the two have close trading links helena yes indeed in fact china is the biggest export market male market for australia so it's certainly watching what's being said at that party congress now let's take a look at the state of the australian economy now because it set a world record for going without a recession for the last twenty six years now since nine hundred ninety one the country's economy has been growing and as largely thanks to an paralleled broom in war materials it has thousands of tonnes of minerals coal gas and precious metals most of which are exported to china now the inclusion of australia in the trans-pacific partnership suffered a major setback when u.s. president donald trump referred to the agreement as a potential disaster with during his country from the negotiations now as a result australia's economic ties with the e.u.

and its largest economy germany became even more important but australia does need new stimulus if it wants to continue growing because housing prices well they are going through the roof many australians are in debt an infrastructure poses challenges as well with power outages and slow internet which of course are key in the era of industry four point zero soils the country's minister for finance how they plan on co's closing that crucial gap. well we're very focused on all of these things i mean you're quite right as an open try to economy it's very important that we're internationally competitive and across the board across all of the area of public policy we are pursuing a pro growth agenda we are investing of course and all of the necessary infrastructure to ensure that we can participate competitively in the opportunities of a digital economy we work closely with germany for example on the industry four point zero. standard and pursuing opportunities between germany and australia to

closer together to offer opportunity for business in a strip business is in australia to become part of advanced manufacturing value china around the world so when this does all things that focus on that we are working on and will continue to work on but look at the situation for the average australian then there are high levels of per capita day it's the banking system for example the commonwealth bank of australia didn't report over fifty thousand cases of money laundering how can you clean up that sector to make sure that risks of a banking crisis are not passed on to the average person that. well we have a strong and well regulated banking system banks are very profitable a very strong a very stable home and if you look at the situation around the world post the

global financial crisis by any standards banks in australia came out of that very very well compared to banks and other positive world potential regulation you know it's very effective and always specific issues that arise from time to time and when they do it have got to be properly addressed and we've always got to consider carefully you know what improvements can continue to be my two regulatory settings but in an overall sense you know we've got a very strong very effective internationally very competitive banking system and you know compared to europe compared to the united states banks in australia performed very well when this the ultimate stress tests happened in the context of the global financial crisis mathias cormann australia's minister of finance thank you for being with us hey on d w and i started out as the latest on the off them off of the fight for rocca in syria they might helena us back forces in iraq are

carrying out mopping up operations one day after they took the city from so for islamic state they're removing land mines and clearing main road six-pack to announce the formal liberation of the city later today syrian forces captured the former i s stronghold on tuesday after an intense campaign. after an assault lasting four months they finally taste victory syrian fighters raise their flag in rocker's main square. it's almost a. near the main roundabout and we haven't seen any i.s.i. tell us we haven't seen any near the stadium either i think the city will be fully cleared in the next two days. how do i feel i'm flying look at me i'm flying and i'm so happy. jubilation on the spot known as the round up out of hell over the past three years my ass used for public beheadings and crucifixions shoring the

terror that characterize the militants rain. in twenty fourteen it was here that i celebrated its push into the city rocca was declared the defacto capital of it's self styled culliford it became home to thousands of jihadists from around the world after a call by the i.r.s. leader. to migrate to the syrian city it's sort of was where they plan terror attacks across the globe. this is rockers municipal stadium the militant sets up a prison here torturing people who oppose their rule it's where many of the foreign jihadists were killed making a last stand after refusing an offer of safe passage. small pockets of i asked militants still thought to be holed up in the city but there's

another danger to be faced in these ruins booby traps and mines the u.n. says there has already been staggering loss of civilian life and rocca well over a thousand were killed in the battle for the city with hundreds more bodies feared buried in the rubble. and from all its consulate agendas of lot of need one billion maggie joins me from kabbani in northern syria that's about one hundred kilometers north of rocca welcome the to meet what is the situation like in . any extremist fighters left in the city well it seems that the cities is completely clean from isis they're still looking for isis fighters but us until now there's no more threats but the biggest threat still until now is the landmines. so mopping up operations are ongoing gun now we're seeing pictures of a city which is in ruins really all the civilians and when can they expect to

return to dhaka the civilians there and i did becomes the security forces are not going to allow them to come back until the city is mostly cleaned on mines so that's why it's going to maybe take some time for civilians to come back to the city depending on how long it takes to clear them like the main areas where mines and of course a huge celebrations among troops who have retaken the city off but what does the situation in iraq i mean for the so-called islamic state in syria well it's a symbolic victory over isis i mean iraq i was the capital where they beheaded many people when i was their main city center so it's a symbolic victory but still isis are completed to feed it they still have some fighters left but now the traction they have on foreign recruits is much less i mean they don't control that much territory anymore so how much of

a thread does the i spose off to having lost but still begin control as you say of some pockets of territory in syria and iraq. well it's just a matter of time before those block of iraq there are taken by you to see an army there as an iraq but if you are a part of that there's still possibility if that isis goes on the grass on the ground and do like id is on board but there are. also still they could still carry out attacks in europe it doesn't mean the for the sky will be finished but still there isis is certainly severely weakened. bloodied me of on the berg joining us from northern syria thank you very much for that. you're watching the news coming up ahead forty years off the hijack of a west german airliner jim need to flex on the darkest days of the leftist era of the nine hundred seventy s. . but first one has more business news and attempts to

renegotiate the north american free trade agreement ahead and like many trade agreements around the world on the freight anti-trade sentiment means once again enough to talks have hit a stumbling block those talks between the us canada and mexico and the pitch a snag the three parties are now saying that a still significant gaps left to wrangle over so they've set the date for the next round of talks wait for it nothing happening until the first quarter twenty eighty now the u.s. is threatening to leave the table altogether but that would probably create more problems than it would actually solve in that case the rules of the world trade organization would kick in which would hit u.s. producers especially hard and it's not just the three countries that are nervous many foreign firms of course are hoping for a deal to be reached as soon as possible so let's take a listen now to those involved in the negotiations from the three countries and

what they have to say. we have seen proposals that would turn back the clock on twenty three years of predictability openness and collaboration under nafta in some cases these proposals run counter to w rules this is troubling nafta has resulted in a huge trade deficit for the united states and has cost us tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs the agreement has become very lopsided and needs to be rebalanced mexico we continue working seeking constructive and creative solutions and being open to a dialogue but in order for this a force of mexico the united states and kind of that to be fruitful we must understand that we all have limits. trying to look at some business

news now we get i just from frankfurt we can bring in our financial correspondent clonic out of booze and conrad news just in germany's top coat rejecting a challenge to the e.c.b. asset purchase program explain that for us. well yes another obstacle has put has been put out of way of the european central bank's asset purchases with this rejection of an injunction request aimed at blocking the german bundesbank to take part in those asset purchases this request claimed that those asset purchases were unconstitutional here in germany that they have the german taxpayers and that they were harmful to the rights of the members of the german bundestag our parliament in berlin now the german top court says no we are not going to decide about this injunction request we're going to leave the decision to the european court of justice and this court is not very likely to block those

asset purchases or i am in other news of course you've got the party congress in china it's a political drives us to the markets around the world at the moment in germany what are they listening closely to well i guess the most important piece of data coming from beijing will be coming out tomorrow the update of the third quarter g.d.p. g.d.p. the gross domestic product the question whether or not the economy in china is growing the question whether or not the chinese government is meeting its growth targets is very significant for sentiment on the markets also here in europe and also for prices in terms of policies i guess it's going to be interesting to hear what the chinese congress communist party congress will have to say about foreign investments remember last year were reported about chinese companies taking over companies of broad for more than two hundred twenty billion dollars this year this
