just minutes earlier members of the zimbabwean parliament listened as the speaker of the hives read a statement from robert mugabe i wrap it up and then in terms of fact and i just see from one all the cost two thousand of them bob we're here by for my tender my resignation as the president of the republic of about the way we immediate effect. the speaker went on to read mugabe's reasons for stepping down. my decision to resign is what i'm talking on my part and out rather well michael said. for the welfare of the people of them bob there my desire for a sure it's more peaceful and nonviolent found. that and up here is

a national security peace and stability. mugabe's departure marks the end of a crisis that began last week when the military intervened to stop the rise to power of mugabe's wife grace that then developed into a popular revolt. and you did will be named within forty eight hours but for now zimbabweans are enjoying what marks the beginning of a new era in their country. and we won the take you known to harare that is where my colleague christine is standing by good evening to you kristie i mean i have to say we've been watching you today you've been right in the thick of it right where history has been happening and what are you seeing right now. this really have exploded with excitement that here and i'm about a few pieces away from hot buttons in the middle of the crowd keeps getting.

revelry really it is it feels like a big sporting event in the countries that. they see us is that people are. hearing . what on sin a break here in zimbabwe capital. the former vice president emerson when god was he's widely expected to take over from robert mugabe the you were there with opposition leader morgan tsvangirai just as mugabe's resignation was announced today and you you asked him for his views on him are saying when in god what listen listen to what he had to say to you. is it not is an unknown. caracter there will only cut into the city that defines him assumes that. he's there. and it comes under a very strong personality. that i'm

a compromising but listen. and i don't think that's what we need to do is currently so years making that kind of. institute if they'd read. that image to be good to add to mugabe's email. and christine it sounds like what we're hearing there from mr genger right and the opposition is they're worried that mugabe is going to be replaced with some someone who could be just as authoritarian as the president was. socially and this is why the opposition the emphasis is to say follow the constitution this evolving constitution says that if it takes over from a president who has stepped out on his side needs to only hold that position for the duration off he has to now robert mugabe would have come to an end next yet what the country holding a general election between to lie and ok so what the opposition is calling for it

in many ways this is the it to stop in addition on that what he is to take this transitional government is will be a year to the constitution and only stand as president what if you were made to look obvious to him and christine what about robert mugabe and his wife grange do we know where they are tonight and do we know where they're going what's going to happen to them. that's a very big i know there's a lot of speculation that the family owing a lot of properties and a number of places around the globe this includes south africa single whole countries on the continent. we doing magine that. they've got some kind of deal that they will be protected if they choose to remain in zimbabwe but we don't know what's what we see able to make looking at the last few days that defines that you have robert mugabe has really possessed this country this is when you spoke of

zimbabwe he said my eyes are probably i think it's going to be difficult when you to step up and leave and have to try it in exile but that might be the best option for the family but we don't know at the moment and we believe they are in the country as we speak that is probably the biggest unknown tonight at the end of what has been a historic day and you have been right there in the thick of it our colleague christine we're in harare tonight some excellent reporting today christine thank you very much. but police in nigeria see at least fifty people have been killed in a suicide bombing the attack took place at a mosque in the town of movie in the northeast of the country police say a teenage bomber targeted worshipers as they were gathering for early morning prayers there has been no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack but it bears all the hallmarks of both go the wrong extremists nigeria's

president has expressed his sorrow over the suicide attack unveiled once again to secure his country from bowker her wrong all that's despite his claim nearly two years ago that the group had been defeated so why is the government not able to provide that security we put that question to our correspondent in a brooch. well. ex-parte actually had these two different problems some see it as luck intelligence between the agencies to be able to tackle this who might have run a wee from the bush to this city and caught in these attacks and then some see it with the wig did show i guess i've been treated that i mean what if i can book have been complaining of so many problems ranging from lack of payment outside a lousy is and some have been steered there for too long without changing damn and you've been in the bush five people who are on for quite

a long time on this effect and there we are of the critism on commitment to fight require but that doesn't know we're going to continue to have this soft target attack because if you degraded before it is going to take a long time to find to get to define a solution to the problem. and that was you also interesting reporting from. well here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world at least twenty four people have been killed and dozens wounded in a suicide truck bombing in northern iraq no one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack into school motto iraqi forces returned to the contested town from kurdish forces back in october. german police have arrested six syrians suspected of planning an attack in germany on behalf of so-called islamic state the suspects were detained during a series of dawn raids in four major cities across the country they're thought to

have been planning an attack on a christmas market. or here in germany the country's president has been seeking a way out of the political deadlock created after the collapse of talks aimed at forming a new coalition government now the man whose party scuppered those talks christiane listen there of the liberal f.d.p. met with the president from both of my earlier today and the co-chairs of the green party were also summoned to the presidential palace here in berlin president steinmeier is pressing the parties to avoid fresh elections. or for her part german chancellor angela merkel has already said that she would rather run again in a new election then lead a minority government it's an unprecedented situation for germany's something that was very much in evidence during today's parliamentary session. newfound trust between germany's conservative alliance and the green party. which when the

conservative alliance in the social democrats these uncertain times the collapsed coalition talks loom large over the bundestag oh out of frustration there needs to be understanding for this difficult balancing act which means everyone who bears political responsibility should shift away if only partially from their election plant friends for a compromise that would benefit the majority this is neither a failing or a weakness but the parties he referred to the business friendly f.t.p. and the social democrats through the plane at each other. don't miss to let you know i think you should be very quiet today you don't take any responsibility for having long planned your excess and then you put on such a show that question irv. see you who could barely wait for election results or that you could cowardly throw in the towel you have a cheek to blame us for anything. the most miserable often uncertainty has arisen

in a country used to stability when the acting defense minister emphasized what has long been regarded as a given. germany stands for reliability ladies and gentleman applause only came after repeated prompt. distinctly. dutch line germany stands for reliability ladies and gentlemen. yes yes that's perhaps not so easy in a situation. the specter of fresh elections is overshadowing the bundestag work on the one that we see you know just an uncertainty in people's eyes what will happen in three or four months are not can change. if you must let us know how to go on as normal what do you do with your staff a lot of jobs and dependent on members of parliament if you mention that and might have team and i special focuses digitalisation i want to deal with the future and that will last being put on hold. new elections within a few months or

a minority government without a stable coalition both would be a first for the bundestag and for germany. you're watching t.w. news live from berlin still to come the plight of me and maurice were hinge or muslims amnesty international says their persecution is tantamount to apartheid we'll be talking with a human rights expert from the european parliament about their plight. all right time now to talk about a mega merger with u.s. president donald trump wants stopped in its tracks stand that's right and brant they people say that the concern is justified but that trump might have all tyria motives the u.s. department of justice is suing to stop eighty and t.'s proposed acquisition of time warner the suit sets up the biggest anti trust court clash in decades of the eighty five billion dollar tie up the u.s. government says the merger of the telecom and the content creator would harm competition resulting in higher costs for customs. it's no secret that u.s.

president donald trump doesn't like c.n.n. in fact he seems to relish lashing out at the broadcast company which he calls fake news his most famous attack may have been a retreat a gift of him pretending to wrestle it's logo that's we could become exhibit a in the antitrust battle about to be waged between the u.s. government and eighty in the president's outburst give life to a counter argument in the case namely that the government is trying to squeeze c.n.n. by making a poison to take over of its parent company time warner. appears ready to make just such an argument there's been a lot of reporting of speculation whether this is all about c.n.n. and frankly i don't know but nobody should be surprised at the question keeps coming up because we've witnessed such an abrupt change in the application of antitrust law here so any agreement that results in us forfeiting control of c.n.n. whether directly or indirectly is

a nonstarter yet trump was already critical of the deal before his feud with c.n.n. calling it unfair during his campaign a deal we will not approve in my administration because it's too much concentration of power in the hands of too few that's hardly an extreme position senators in both parties have openly worried the merger would hamper competition supporters say the companies never competed with one another in the first place trump's fixation on c.n.n. now threatens to overshadow those arguments it's become a recurrent theme in his administration his own words as a burden to his own policies. equal access online that's been the aim of net neutrality and that's exactly what a new plan by an appointee of u.s. president donald trump would like to dismantle internet providers must currently treat all traffic across the web equally no matter its destination new rules would allow internet companies to charge users as they wished and even block sites

critics say the move set for mid december lets a few large companies steer internet traffic advocates say it will boost investment in broadband that. there out the european banking and medicines agencies are moving away from london paris and amsterdam will be hosting them post breck's it still well over a year and three months to go but already the e.u. is making clear preparations for the divorce. this is the future home of the european banking authority paris won the right to host the agency after winning a coin toss against the irish capital dublin competition to host the institution had been fears though in the end it came down to chance france's europe minister described the outcome as a testament to her country's standing in the block. sit down literally get out of the some people said we didn't have a chance and yet we won we managed to convince people that france was back on the

european stage that we were serious about banking regulation on that paris was attractive as a european banking harbors the fact that the e.p.a. will soon be in paris shows you trucked in most of paris as an economic and financial hub the hope in this election was a blow to the german city of frankfurt which had been hoping to cash in on its reputation as a center of european banking. it's a pity that the banking authority isn't coming to frank for us of course people can see that germany is not on top right now as the french are just ahead but still will get the majority of the british banks that are currently still in london frankfurt is and forever will be europe's number one banking location and float on to just want for the most are in their finance plus the mines are all part. and the other city in celebration mode is amsterdam it won the right to host the european medicines authority. the and they currently employ some nine hundred people but

estimates suggest that twenty percent of positions could because as a result of the move from london. u.k. banks and london based e.u. institutions. the twenty seven remaining member states are ready carving up the spoils of britain's departure from the european union. unemployment continues to be a major problem around the world especially for people between the ages of fifteen and twenty four the latest report by the international labor organization estimates that more than seventy million young people are jobless this year that's an unemployment rate of over thirteen percent global youth unemployment peaked after the financial crisis in two thousand and nine and exceeded seventy five million but dropped steadily in subsequent years until began creeping up again as you can see towards the end the ilo says that it could hit seventy one million next year although europe as

a whole is not suffering too badly young people in southern europe still often have few or no job prospects in spain every third person under twenty five is unemployed . that's it for y'all business news i'm going to hand you back over to brendan and look at the unfolding refugee crisis in me and do you think you amnesty international has published the findings of a two year investigation into the crackdown by me and mars military on the ethnic row hinge of people in a kind state amnesty accuses the authorities and me and mark of creating a system of apartheid which is a crime against humanity and they will hinge i have faced state sponsored discrimination for decades the report says but this is worsened since two thousand and twelve when violence broke out between buddhists and the muslim minority to date is six hundred thousand row hinge i have fled to neighboring bangladesh amnesty international has now called for the un human rights council to hold

a special session on the crisis. these are the latest real hinge arrivals seeking safety at the refugee camp and cox's bazaar in bangladesh the camp is run by the international organization for migration it has seen a massive influx of rutin just since last august several hundred thousand are sheltering here and in the surrounding area violence and persecution in their home country of me in mar drove them here. either visit my p.c.'s and forced us to work as forced labor taking our identity cards from us. they burned down our houses we cannot live there we had to leave to come here that got out but i didn't know that . back in may in mar the country's leader sun suit she has expressed what appears to be support for the brutal crackdown and for that she's been heavily criticized brault. the authorities and me and maher have accused the real hinge of terrorism

and regard them as illegal immigrants their hinge of crisis has also been overshadowing the mission of asian and european foreign ministers in me and maurice capital not be told one glimmer of hope china has proposed a three phase plan to end the violence starting with a cease fire. the plan has won support of me and mine in bangladesh but that plan if implemented will take time to come into effect and as the negotiations go on the exodus of ranger looks set to continue. and for more on this i'm joined by barbara below from brussels she is a german member of the european parliament for the green party with a focus on human rights is looking there it's good to have you on the show the european and asian foreign ministers are meeting in me in mar this week do they have any leverage to help resolve this crisis. yes they do

i think they have the possibility to discuss with the chinese and with the myanmar government on this plane you just mentioned and it's good that there's a ceasefire in this could that they agree that all those refugees from the rakhine state that are us have the right to return to their place of origin but what is not in the plane of the chinese government is that we have to look who is responsible for this atrocities which the high commissioner for human rights face it amounts to ethnic cleansing so the e.u. foreign ministers and their asian foreign ministers who have to insist there to those who are responsible for this have to be brought have to be held accountable well amnesty international claims that b.m.r. has a certain effect we created a state of apartheid and it's discrimination against the road if that is true then the international community should be reacting in trying to stop that.

yes i mean one effect is that within me and my are the routing guys do not have any legal status or citizenship and this is very essential every plane and every possibility that they return and then have a decent life has this as it is its end and yes the human rights institutions in the united nations but also the european union has to insist that this fundamental discrimination has to end and there's a lot of discrimination on the side of the government but also within the society like a buddhist groups out reaches preachers and teachers haters against the ruling guess and the government has to address this you mentioned the government's mean mars leader aung san suu kyi she has been harshly criticized for her failure to stop the crackdown on the rohingya what more can be done in your opinion to pressure her to

act well clearly to see that for example the chief commander of the myanmar army should be held accountable what he did in reaction to this takes in august and i think sung suki has to be more vocal and maybe more determined to find a solution to it she refers to a plan. drafted by kofi annan or two could be done in the right kind state she's willing to do this they describe it but this plan does not include all the atrocities and the human rights violations committed there so she has really to be on the side of her people in this includes the routing as ok barbara look below joining us tonight from brussels misl ocular thank you very much you weigh. on now to a touching story in israel where

a one hundred two year old holocaust survivor has been reunited with a nephew that he never knew he had they discovered their family connection thanks to an online database of holocaust victims created by israel's young holocaust. it may be one of the happiest days of his long long life at the. house finally met the nephew he never knew existed until two weeks ago. he thought his entire family had perished in the second boat will. i'm so happy i can talk to you and see you such a good man and you are a copy of your father. john xander as the son of piotr younger brother who died six years ago. now he has come as his father's place all the way from russia. it really made me very

happy that there's at least one other remnant from my brother. and that is his son. pietro was only twenty four when he fled poland for the us s. r. in one nine hundred thirty nine. his parents i want to strangle brothers died in nazi death camps but his other brother voice managed to escape and such as later and russia. it's a miracle i never thought this would happen. and now having gone from complete strangers to the close is a family that you are about to make up for lost time. after a short break i'll be back to take you through the day.

risk it's part of the business of doing business. but what if an investment goes bad if performance doesn't meet expectations. and what if people

get bitten by the gambling bug. where managers can learn how to manage risks and what poker can teach them about risk assessment made in germany in sixty minutes on d. w. . as long as. i'm not just in a good day nothing would change you know the banks pay me just fine and so was the language of a bank money. speaking the truth global news that matters you made for mines. tells us starring stories. it makes us laugh. and cry. trouble and smile. magical images and emotions going out.

except his absence and a letter of resignation.
