a lifeline to the besieged people of eastern hold. dozens of aid trucks from the un and syrian arab red crescent have arrived they've brought enough food to feed forty thousand people but that's just a fraction of the area's three hundred fifty thousand residents. doctors painted a grim portrait for the newly arrived relief workers many people are at risk of starvation some have already died children are particularly vulnerable. we told them the truth about the situation here. we showed them serious cases of men the tradition. we showed them tragic cases. we showed them cases of moderate malnutrition and. we also showed them cases of people in need of medical attention and i hope these are some of the wrenching images to emerge from eastern hope the

baby zahar was already close to death when her parents brought her to the doctor her mother was too malnourished to breastfeed the child she died at only thirty four days old u.n. officials say over a thousand children here are suffering from malnutrition they're demanding the syrian army and its blockade of the region to allow in more aid. cheerful solution to the plight of these people has to be found meanwhile immediate access to enable lifesaving assistance for the civilian population is critical but whatever happens it is our collective duty to avoid yet another humanitarian catastrophe in syria. eastern hotels were supposed to be one of the so-called deescalation zones in the country's civil war instead the syrian army has tightened its siege in recent months shelling the region and destroying tunnels used by
11:08 am
smugglers to bring in food and medicine. monday's delivery was only the second time in two months the syrian military has allowed aid to reach civilians it means the people here in eastern hold will likely continue living on the edge of starvation as spain's central government takes over direct rule of catalonia the country's political crisis has now spilled into brussels the catalan president who was sacked by madrid travel to brussels on monday that triggered speculation that carlos pushed him or may seek political asylum in belgium a belgian lawyer confirmed that he has taken on as a client spanish prosecutors have announced they will seek charges of rebellion against the deposed catalan officials. let's go to brussels our correspondent dan rivers is standing by for us hi ban can you tell us what the ousted president is looking for in belgium is it asylum or is it support for his push for independence
11:09 am
. so far mr puts them on to his no intention to apply for asylum according to his budge and lawyer he hired a lawyer yesterday and with some experience in defending alleged terrorists and also an extradition cases but there is no case as of yet because there are no charges officially fired in spain it's on the prosecution's only seeking an indictment and there's no rest of our and and so that no grounds to grant somebody asylum and to stand trial in another country is not sufficient to apply for asylum so we don't know exactly what the legal indication might be the legal path mr putin wants to follow on the other hand there are some aides that say as he wants to internationalize this conflict by going to brussels through to the headquarters of the european union but also the union has no intention to get involved in this
11:10 am
conflict in spain so we have to hear from mr putin the moment the cuttle and x. catalog leader announced the press conference late in the day that is that why he chose to flee to belgium itself because he was looking for support from the e.u. . this mud one be one of the reasons but the cutting of independence movement also has strong ties to belgium it's feel we have a nationalist flemish party which is supporting the independence movement and one of the politicians of this party which is in a coalition government here has just hit on the weekend that mr putin on might apply for asylum here maybe he had misunderstood that as a kind of an invitation and there's also one deputy of mr putsch doing party here in the european parliament he met him allegedly yesterday for dinner so there are some connections for belgium but mr putin money is a free man of course as

apartment local media say the suspect used several picnic coolers to store the remains of nine people investigators made the grisly discovery while searching for a missing woman who was seeking a suicide partner via social media. now lawyers acting for asylum seekers an australian run detention center in papa new guinea have warned that detainees there face a catastrophic situation authorities on nonis island want to relocate asylum seekers and have close the controversial facility housing them that has led to a standoff with hundreds of asylum seekers who fear they will be attacked by locals if they step foot outside. again they're refusing to leave their conditions at the detention center have been described as unbearable so many here fear what comes next could be even worse local authorities want to relocate them to nearby facilities but many fear for their lives following a string of threats and violence from locals. they are not going to give us
11:13 am
a safety guarantee that's what i'm saying here but the odds are stacked against them on tuesday authorities are set to cut off water electricity and food supplies they're also warning they won't take any responsibility for those refusing to resettle even then many refuse to budge. what we do is this water we just put a little bit of sugar and salt and we drink this water we can as they maybe for a month we go to. the asylum seekers are caught in a limbo created by a stray strict immigration policy the island nation refuses to settle any refugees who arrive by boat instead it's been paying its neighbor papa new guinea to house the in silence seekers the last year that country's supreme court ordered the detention center to close meanwhile protesters gathered in sydney demanding authorities guarantee the refugee safety it's a human right to seek asylum these people the government just keeps banging on
11:14 am
about illegal immigration when it's not illegal i think human rights to seek asylum in the meantime many of the asylum seekers will continue to live in limbo as our lawyers seek a court injunction to keep the facility open. let's speak to david manne he's a human rights lawyer in australia and head of an organisation called refugee legal david thank you for joining us on our program there's been a lot of criticism of australia's immigration policy its refugee policy and the government argues that this policy actually cracks down on people smugglers by turning back boats isn't that the government's duty. while the government's fundamental duty is to uphold the obligations we just wrote his standard under the refugees convention which at its high means that dr ian barker signatories around the world has agreed to ensure that flame from persecution
11:15 am
and not expose to further harm but instead what we see with forcing these refugees from a stroller through indefinite limbo cruel remember. jane is really the kind of trade that replicates many of the forms of inhumanity from which the refugees have fled but david if we look back at the turn back the boats policy itself the government says that this has helped prevent deaths at sea and the numbers have fallen indeed after the government introduced that policy hasn't. well certainly it is absolutely tragic that so many people say. mistrial was lost their lives say but really what we say now is a policy where. for those people who did not get to astronomy at stake they would instead. be incensed to a situation where their rights have been so severely abused that in some cases
11:16 am
people of they've lost their lives i meant the conditions have been widely found survey by independent human rights bodies and the un refugee agency to match a cruel inhuman and degrading treatment so it's one thing to say to prevent loss of life. but it's all together another for those that do survive to be had this kind of degradation and humanity inflicted upon and we look at if australia is actually providing status granting status to some people between two thousand fifteen sixteen us really accepted thirteen thousand seven hundred fifty people through its humanitarian program it also took on an additional one time acceptance of twelve thousand refugees fleeing syria and iraq what is your take is that simply not enough. well it's absolutely not enough of a strategy should increase its aid it's humanitarian into its refugee and
11:17 am
humanitarian interacting as a good go i will citizen but the reality reminds that there are very few people seeking asylum in a strata very few people seeking asylum in australia. and and what we say globally vastly. vastly greater numbers of people say he has every passage he type in more refugees the sign tom how does obligations by not sending paid exotic a call who are refugees to places where i can face the kind of the use from which they have fled remembering it every person has the right to say to saddam under the universal declaration of human rights so you know saddam is not a crime it's a right right david not a human rights lawyer in australia head of refugee legal in organisation there david thank you very much again for joining us on our program thank you.
11:18 am
you're watching the news still to come on the program a much improved byron munich face celtic in the champions league but how will they fare without their top striker robert and dusty. but first a good day for samsung shareholders for a change that yes you can say they had so many 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 up nearly one hundred fifty percent samsung settable increase its annual dividend by twenty percent this year and then double it next year then it plans to hold it at that level until twenty twenty the companies have processed more than double since the beginning of twenty sixteen with a growing demand for memory chips and advanced display panel something is likely to pose even bigger runnings in the coming quarter. now when you listen to the news
11:19 am
these days you might worry that we're heading for a bad bad time economically speaking u.s. president trump threatening to cut the u.s. from globalization britain turning away from the youth who brags it and separatist struck to trying to tell the whole countries apart like in spain but you might be surprised to find that global trade is actually booming. 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 well trait. 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
11:20 am
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. and that trend is also reflected in fresh figures from the european commission showing a surge in the economic confidence in october the index of industry and consumer sentiment in europe rose to its highest level in almost seventeen years the mood rose by an unexpectedly high zero point nine percent to one hundred fourteen points from one hundred and thirteen point one the previous months that comes ahead of
11:21 am
quarterly growth figures for eurozone to be published later today expected to show an expansion of half a percent for the third quarter considering a time of strength thing global economic headwinds that's a surprisingly robust picture for the real economy so why is everyone so full of confidence earlier i spoke to cullen pickering is a senior economist at bear them back 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
11:22 am
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 will continue to see an improvement in economic fundamentals over time where we look at your ability specially of 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 the e.u. 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. me 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
11:23 am
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. of the brits 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 all your business and has the news of a significant terrorist laid to rest here in germany that's right there had police have arrested a nineteen year old syrian man under suspicion of plotting and islamist inspired terror attack he was arrested in the town of spend the more than two hundred kilometers north of the capital berlin federal prosecutors say the suspect was planning a bomb attack with high explosives in order to kill a large number of people. our political correspondent simon young is following the
11:24 am
story for us hi simon what else have police been saying. we're seeing with this man has been identified so far only as a young man a nineteen year old syrian national as you said and police say that at least since july of this year he was preparing to carry out what they described as a major terror attack here in germany he'd been assembling parts and chemicals in order to kill and injure as prosecutors say as many people as possible they also say they believe he has an islam missed motive for this so that's why today special police units swooped in schwerin arresting him and searching addresses in that city and also in hamburg some in german police they have been criticized in the past for being a too slow in handling terror threats does today's arrest show that that is changing . well there's been cases i like the burning christmas market attack where an attack was carried out by somebody already known to the or thor it is as an
11:25 am
islamist that's why that shows the the need to act when there is information clearly police have been observing this man for several months and it's happened before there have been previous cases where the police have had information they've sat and watched as as terrorists assembled bomb making equipment for instance in the sour land group case in two thousand and seven and you know this shows the kind of police operation that's happened in the past and this may be today's arrest may also be the result of a long surveillance operation as well. to use political correspondent simon young thank you for that update. now for a bit of a sports news a buyer new next champions league campaign continues tonight against celtic the bavarians took over top spot in the bundesliga for the first time on saturday but they suffered a blow as well a fiery injury to robert love and means their top score will be watching the game
11:26 am
from home. i mean right firearms 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's hurt not just lazy 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. the mr viper. live in dos 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
11:27 am
placement to muscular is out injured as well. but in glasgow the bavarians injury was haven't caused any overconfidence so as a coach brendan rodgers defense knows they will have their hands full come what may . be no good live in this case. because you know you know. he had two piece spares for from there for the team but then they got big 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 think the hoops will have on their side. the venue celtic park is among the most imposing stadiums in europe and buyers will need to be at their best whoever starts at center forward. thanks for watching we'll have more news for you in thirty minutes.
