the northern german city of chevy. our political correspondent simon young is following this story for us assignment what have police been saying well brian this is a nineteen year old man of syrian nationality identified so far only as young men a and he is suspected of preparing to carry out a major terror attack in germany prosecutors are saying that he was already assembling the high explosives for that purpose and they say they believe he had an islamist motive now the prosecutors have also said that he's been planning this attack since july of this year that he'd. assembled materials and in particular chemicals in order to make a bomb and they also said that they don't yet know if he had

a specific concrete target already in mind but special police units moved in early on tuesday morning to arrest this man they've also searched addresses in the city of varying in northeastern germany and reportedly also in hamburg and obviously they've arrested him because i'm in thanks so much for now for that we will of course have more details on the story as they come in. it's to the u.s. now and donald trump's former campaign chief all manner of ford and his associate rick gates are under house arrest on their indictment in the special counsel's russia investigation both men pled not guilty to charges including conspiracy and money laundering another former trump advisor to urge papadopoulos has pled guilty to lying to f.b.i. agents now the president has denied any collusion between his campaign team and moscow during the twenty sixteen presidential campaign

a trump campaign chief tons of self and to the f.b.i. . a key advisor makes a guilty plea as the russia investigation closing in on donald trump's white house . palm on a four was at trump site when the billionaire outsider accepted the republican nomination so when four men show he is said to have handpicked trump's vice president mike pence the man just behind him has also been charged flanked by his lawyer he surrendered himself to the f.b.i. on monday he reacted with stands accused of acting for years as an authorized agent of the pro russian ukrainian government. for there is no evidence that mr mann a fort with a transparent colluded with the russian government even so the judge placed metaphor under house arrest. the white house insists the charges are not the feds have evidence of links to russia. we've been saying from day one there's been no

evidence of trumped russia collusion and nothing in the indictment today changes that at all but washington was in for more surprises a special prosecutor robert miller's investigation into russian meddling in last year's election gathers pace miller's team had secured a guilty plea from former foreign policy advisor george papadopoulos seen here in a meeting with trump and a signed indictment he admitted lying about meetings with russian government connections offering darts on hillary clinton the white house played down his guilty plea. it is nothing to do with the activities of the campaign it has to do with his failure to tell the truth it doesn't have anything to do with the campaign or the campaigns activities but talks with papadopoulos no cooperating with f.b.i. investigators these three charges may be just the start of a new phase in the investigation. for the very latest let's go to our correspondent carson phenomena in washington carson two former trump aides are charged thirds

cooperate ing with the f.b.i. but the bottom line is is there any new evidence right now that russia tried to sway the u.s. election campaign and that the trump side knew about it. well yes and no i mean if you look at the indictment self poem manifold and richard gates these charges clearly predate the trunk i'm painting as trump himself as also pointed out this is also not about russia this is about ukraine and the pro russian regime in ukraine at the time about money laundering and text evasion that does not directly affect trump and the allegations of collusion of the trump complain with russia the other story the. case of george puppet though pulis the foreign policy or former policy advisor of donald trump that's a different story because this is now the second confirmed attempt that we know of

members of the complain to trying to get compromising information about hillary clinton from russian sources the other case of course the infamous meeting organized by donald trump jr the president's son and other. trump allies with a russian law also an attempt to get some compromising information on hillary clinton so this does not look good for donald trump but there is no clear connection to donald trump yet again while with that line what do these indictments then mean for the president. well first of all the optics bad as i just mentioned and then of course poll man afford his former campaign manager and a close ally now could go to jail if proven guilty of course then you have the case

of general michael flynn the former national security adviser who also had to resign because he lied about his contacts to russia and other foreign governments and many other members of trump's inner circle in the first ten months of his presidency had to resign over fired for a number of scandals so this all doesn't look good the indictments maybe don't really change that but they put some pressure on donald trump for now the base his base and the republicans in congress stand by him they try to muddy the water by saying well the democrats and hillary clinton they were also dirty they also had foreign connections also to russia but in the long run of course this could this mood could change if robert miller the special investigator has more people he could in diets and could bring into the public focus ok thanks so much for that this morning from carson phenomena in washington now to some of the other stories

barcelona where correspondent also tells us that. we now know that. is in fact in belgium the question is what's he doing there. that's the question that everybody here wants to know the on the sea is now lawyer has released a statement he wasn't able to refuse to shed any light on that. at the moment we've just got speculation and rumor some suggest he might be in europe to seek the help of european leaders for his independent schools others though are saying that he might actually be looking to claim asylum we know ever the weekend that a belgian minister did suggest that that would be open to him the belgian minister said that he was concerned that priest wouldn't get a free trial here in spain in spain but the belgian prime minister has now totally ruled that out and says that that is something that is not on the cards we know

though that personally is facing some extremely serious charges in spain rebellion alone one of the three charges he is faced with carries up to thirty years in prison and madrid will expect him to answer to that at some point in the near future as to what one himself is thinking we don't know at the moment so far we've heard nothing from the man himself we're hoping though that he's going to give a statement later today that is certainly the rumor perhaps he'll shed some light on exactly what his motives are ok well what are people where you are saying about their separatist leader who promised resistance leaving the country. yeah i mean if you're an outside observer to this whole process you could be mistaken for thinking this is something of a farce when you have the man who on friday declared independence on saturday he then said that he was going to stand by that independence claim pushed forward with it he said he was still the man in charge everybody then of course was that

expecting him to live up to that yesterday to come into work and to to reject regime his seat as president in spite of what madrid was doing that though wasn't the case in fact we spent the whole morning here press supporters waiting to find out exactly where he was essentially he went missing then later in the day hundreds of miles away he turned up in brussels now for alton proenza been supporters that is extremely frustrating many that we've spoken to a very dismayed they said that they wanted independence for years or decades even and that they thought they had it on friday now it looks like it's far further away and then you put those who are for independence against independence rather who are thought to be the majority of the people here in catalonia who i think are a little relieved today that the situation appears to have calmed down it could have become quite volatile it hasn't and now it looks like we're heading towards a democratic elections on the twenty first of december ok when when we talked

yesterday it's time twenty four hours ago we were wondering what direct rule from madrid would mean and what's it like twenty four hours on what's the difference. there was a lot of concern that you would see people boycotting this building here behind me trying to block officials from madrid from entering we were concerned that we would see defiance dismissed catalan officials being dragged out by police none of that materialized in fact he was extremely calm when he had one minister tweeting foreign minister tweet a picture of himself at his desk while he his whereabouts now is a night he then went off to a meeting other officials it appears are. living up to what madrid is hoping for and functioning now under direct rule from madrid charles thanks so much for that front will be following developments for us throughout the day so stay with you more on that. still to come on the show much improved byron munich faced celtic in

the champions league but how will they be doing without their top striker romanov's . ok first we have samsung shareholders and actually having for a change reason to celebrate get our heads for a change they do actually brian because the korean electronics giant has focused substantial increases in shareholder returns for the next three years shareholders will reap the benefits of record earnings quarter three profits are up nearly one hundred fifty percent some some said it will increase its annual dividend by twenty percent this year and double it next year then it plans to hold it at that level until twenty twenty the company's share price has more than doubled since the beginning of twenty sixteen with a growing demand for memory chips in advance display panel something is likely to post even bigger outings in the coming quarters. now when you listen to the news these days you might worry that we're heading for a fall bad times economically the u.s.

president trump threatening to cut the us off from globalization britain turning away from the e.u. three breaks it and separatists trying to tell countries apart like inspect but in my piece of france to find that global trade is actually booming for. german engineering companies are overwhelmed with work. and the orders keep coming in other industries as well. demand for german products is not just growing at home but elsewhere in europe and globally experts say the main reason is an unexpected upswing in world trade. the outlook for international imports and exports is far better than it was at the beginning of the year the world trade organization expects global trade to grow by three point nine percent this year the international monetary fund even forecasts that an increase of four point two percent is possible. the trend is expected to continue in the coming year as well.

that's down to the continued economic recovery across europe an important trading partner for many countries worldwide. trade with the us is also strengthening trumps threats of import tariffs and other trade barriers have barely been implemented. this will also benefit asian countries which are posting a strong growth as a result of robust global trade. all that optimism is also reflected in fresh figures from the european commission showing a surge in economic confidence in october the index of industry and consumer sentiment in europe rose to its highest level in almost seventeen years the mood barometer rose by an unexpectedly high as europe point nine percent to one hundred fourteen percent from one hundred and thirteen the previous months that comes ahead of quarterly growth figures for the eurozone to be published later today expected to show an expansion of half a percent for the third quarter considering

a time of strengthening strengthening global economic headwinds that's surprisingly robust picture for the european economy so why is everybody so full of confidence a little earlier i spoke to callum pickering is a senior economist at bear on the bank in london and i asked him if all this optimism is actually justified. well the fundamentals are actually pretty good certainly relative to a decade ago household balance sheets are stronger we have record employment in many places firm profits are up we kind of have this post lehmann caution still hanging over us and we're finding it a little hard to deal with the usual political uncertainty and there's something odd going on if you ask an individual how he's doing he tells you is doing fine but then when you ask people in aggregate they don't feel so good and of course they're always political risks to watch but my impression is we just have a bad dose of economic pessimism which doesn't reflect the fundamentals and over

time we will learn to live with the political worries which probably won't manifest in a major way and we'll continue to see an improvement in economic fundamentals over time where we look at your ability specially or britain for example. briggs's being the key word there are all the worries and warning is going to be forgotten that. certainly not britain is going to have to suffer for it but economic policy choice which was to go for brics it if it goes for a hard break that is the u.k. and you don't strike a trade deal britain could get hurt quite badly in the longer it but i don't think that will happen in the u.k. mii you will come to some agreement and it will probably end up hitting the u.k. in the long run something to the order of zero point four percent per year of g.d.p. so inside the e.u. the u.k. can grow around two point two percent outside it can probably grow around one point eight that is not a good economic policy choice but it is certainly not the end of the world. briefly

what do you expect. the consequences for the e.u. after brags that they'll be virtually no effect whatsoever on the european economy so long as the u.k. avoids a heartbreaks it. can pick through the bank in london thank you very much. that's it from the business desk come to sports news now by munich is to go into a key battle for the main strike of rajar lot of questions out there for them tonight gary hart by munich's champion's league campaign continues tonight against celtic the bavarians to go over the top spot in the bundesliga for the first time saturday but suffered a real blow as well a thigh injury to robert levin dosti means their top score will be watching that game from home. i mean right firings international attacking superstars packed and ready for their trip to scotland to face celtic one question remains however who will take robert levin dosti spot in the lineup and score the goal.

i don't know maybe it will come as a bit of a surprise who plays up front we don't have any other choice. really is that. i always say we need everybody who is hurt not just lavi to get healthy as soon as they can for some that might take a while but that's not an excuse we just have to come through. and it is i mean mr vajpayee. live in davos he will be hard to replace his thirteen goals across all competitions this season are by far the most on the team and his most naturally placement too much miller is out injured as well. but in glasgow the bavarians injury was haven't caused any overconfidence celtic coach brendan rodgers defense knows they will have their hands full come what may. be no good live in

this case. because no minnow you know and he had to piece pairs for from there for the team within the gobby squad. and then i'm sure they will find a way to to to replace them but. that doesn't mean that it's going to be he's going to make the game easier for us one thing the hoops will have on their side is the venue celtic park is among the most imposing stadiums in europe and byron will need to be at their best whoever starts at center forward. and staying once football cologne have been fined sixty thousand euros after their supporters cost real trouble of the europa league game against arson. last month's twenty thousand clone fans probably too long and most of them without tickets causing the kickoff to be delayed by the now are european football's governing body weight to charge the bundesliga side with four offenses including crowd disturbances like fireworks fired clung to pay arsenal for compensation for any damage caused wafer also
