things like the situation has been brought under control at the bus terminal which has reopened their buses coming and going out and people are able to travel but the subway station down below us in which. the detonation dictate play one of the under policies that remain close to the still a degree of communicating in midtown manhattan and what about the mood of new yorkers particularly people who have to use the port authority to go back and forth between home and work. yeah well you know you had one of the accounts the one of the witnesses and one can only begin to imagine level of panic and distress that is cool and alone when funny like a pipe bomb goes off the people describe huge crowds of people running away and sarah because when one of these not take place you don't know if it's an isolated incident and the. he just thought is all that's going to happen over there or

something else whether it's the law is no more white but i thought which thankfully it was no in this case but. what's happening now at the busiest bus station the well which handles sixty five million people and you awake as you can see right behind me in that there are commuted moving around and in many ways. that we the early this morning commute this continuing to move in new york continues to grind on you know that new york resilience there in action for the world to see we know this is the second attack in just a few months in new york city and we also know that the port authority there that bus terminal there is no security people can go in and out as they please i have you heard our authorities planning to change anything in terms of security in the hopes of preventing another attack like today. what i mean of course is no stranger to tower at that but you have nine eleven and a number of attacks leading up the one eight wink the go down town from here where

a man in a taco got hold of a truck and drove want to buy a pot getting people. the president in the area where i am right now let me leave them in the area and you'll governor andrew cuomo says that over the weekend there's going to be a doubling or tripling of the number of office will be on the street because nobody knows the moment whether or not that look i think i thought i didn't i don't know whether. something else happening in the coming days. journalist james wrong on the story for it's there in midtown manhattan in new york city change thank you very much. russia's president vladimir putin has ordered a partial withdrawal of russian troops from syria putin made the announcement on a surprise visit to an airbase in syria where he met with the syrian leader bashar al assad it was putin's first trip to syria where russia launched an air campaign

back in twenty fifteen. the military was tossed out fighting militia groups here in syria the toxic that was supposed to be solved using military force was in general achieved. it was achieved brilliantly. i congratulate you but. now putin also made stops in turkey and egypt journalists ruth michaelson is following putin's tour for she joins us from cairo tonight good evening to you ruth so what did we see in syria today was this putin's mission accomplished moment. well i think that event he certainly wanted it to be his mission accomplished but that he touched down in a syrian and base to be met by president bashar assad as he said made an announcement about troop withdrawal from syria we actually still quite a similar and outspent lot of men whose in about

a year ago and it wasn't necessarily matched with policy on the ground large number of russian troops state than not and so you know it's not clear what the actual cost outcome of today will be but the timing of the announcement seems to be extremely significant especially given that it is just announced that he'll be running for reelection again next year and what about the u.s. declaration of jerusalem as israel's capital last week by u.s. president trump we know that has stirred up a lot of anger in the middle east does that open the door for russia to extend its influence in the region. well it's certainly possible and never sent me people out as that would all be that russia would like nothing much and we still are in a statement put out by the egyptian president see that they really focus on the consensus reached between the president of the field and yet made.

and you know it was a statement that said that they have the importance of not taking any decisions to complicate the situation in the middle east and you could read this is saying that you know the the u.s. is perhaps a bit of an unpredictable cotner the countries in the region not just egypt but for countries like saudi arabia or the united arab emirates that trump has had very good relations with since he came into power. that these are also partners that don't want any surprises from the u.s. it's minute station such as the announcement that we saw from trump at the same time as you know it's gone three thousand asking the saudis to that located in yemen which is something that i like to enjoy very much to will let's let's talk a moment about egypt and putin's talks as you mentioned with the president's policies see today we saw putin agreed to resume civilian flights to egypt now they were halted two years ago after militants dalam the russian passenger plane over the sinai and the leaders also signed in one thousand billion euro deal to build

egypt's first nuclear power plant is all of this taken together is this a sign of deepening ties between cairo and the kremlin. well i mean it's sent me a sign of continued deep type yes this is the latest. set of agreements between the two countries we sold when sisi visited russia in twenty four teach that they signed an agreement that still roughly each week point five billion u.s. dollars the fighter jets and will ships and all kinds of military equipment given to egypt buying by russia and the two countries actually published a drop to clean that a tweet tropically meant and at the end of november saying that they would be allowed to use each other's ad space now obviously russia values its ties to egypt not just the egyptian domestic policy but also for its connection to other countries and that in nearby especially libya and say for russia you know that ties

to egypt are extremely important and they really have found that today all right ruth marcus and force on the story in cairo egypt tonight we thank you very much. well despite that new violence between the palestinians and israelis israel's prime minister has urged european governments to follow the united states and recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel benjamin netanyahu says that the move is simply a recognition of reality and is a step towards peace with the palestinians his words however got a firm rebuff in brussels today where he's been meeting with e.u. foreign ministers. a rare ok asian but you mean it on ya is the arrival in brussels mock the first visit in twenty two years by the israeli head of government. let me say of this quite historic opportunity it's far too long for friends and partners

we are a big moment made even bigger by donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital just days ago what president trump has done is put facts squarely on the table peace is based on reality i believe that all or most of the repeating countries will move their embassies to jerusalem recognize truth when this israel's couple but instead the reception in brussels was as frosty as the temperatures outside the council building protesters gathered to condemn mr netanyahu visit now they are inviting him so they will talk but there is nothing to talk about you don't do such things are what they are doing in israel. to the palestinians. the decision to move the capital needs to be discussed between both sides it also can't be up to europe or the united states to decide that. because you need to deceive the e.u. ministers also shook their heads at the move. we did not agree.

to be. taken care of. by. this truce. on another fundamental question the union cemented its position a commitment to a two state solution yet there are worries that the united states are no longer a credible mediator. we've been waiting already for several months for the american plan and if one is not forthcoming then the european union will have to take the initiative you know i've been in this incident but even if the e.u. stepped up its peace efforts the question remains if it has indeed the ability to really make a difference in this conflict. you know there's a lot of talk about they are to do that i'm joined by our brussels correspondent barbara visa good evening to you barbara so i guess it's fair to say that netanyahu

got a chilly reception in brussels today it was very cool as much as diplomatically possible and also of history come a greenie wants to make full of this sort of unscheduled meeting with netanyahu head and invited himself in inviting for next month the palestinian president mahmoud abbas to sort of level out the european stance here and he really didn't gain any ground i mean you talked about. the europeans to move their embassy to jerusalem that is not going to happen and he can urge all he ones he really didn't get any track however the problem is in buffing and in three. pushing back netanyahu the europeans on the other hand don't have a plan they really have to come up was there was a new initiative now and there is nothing ready that they could pull out of the

draw yeah i mean that is the big question of riots if you don't have the united states as the peace broker in the middle east which is what we've been hearing now for the past week can the european union fill the shoes of washington. they cannot really because they've taken their eyes of the ball for the last years particularly the obama years they've sort of just said ok he's going to take care of it and then the peace process completely stalled i mean nothing has been moving for years now and there is total deadlock and they narrow really now have to sort of start from scratch because all the initiatives in all the european support from the powerhouse that we've seen and we can look as far back as the awesome agreement and that was over twenty years ago and have really not brought about the big turnaround and we know got to him on room across in the french president he's the

only one at the moment he seems to have the drive to sort of take up the initiative and to try something against but there's nobody home in poland at the moment so for the next months nothing can really be brought about it's a good way to put it no one home in berlin at least for the time the. on the story for us tonight in brussels as always thank you. here is some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world security was tight in istanbul as the trial began for dozens of suspects in a deadly nightclub bombing that thirty nine people died in the attack last new year's eve so-called islamic state claimed responsibility prosecutors are seeking multiple wife sentences saudi arabia is to end its thirty five year ban on cinemas the first one will open early next year on the move as part of changes being introduced in the conservative country by mohammed bin salmond the powerful crown prince of european union member states have overwhelmingly agreed to formally widen

social networking site linked in to gather personal information about germany's politicians now the country's domestic intelligence agency boss hans-georg mohsen says that more than ten thousand germans have been targeted by chinese spies posing as head hunters or researchers he says that there aim is to infiltrate the german government china says that there is no truth to these accusations which is all i can say is that the allegations from the german organization in question are baseless we hope the relevant german organizations particularly government departments can speak and act more responsibly and not do things that aren't beneficial to the development of bilateral relations. artless pull in our chief political correspondent melinda greene she's on the story for us tonight good evening to you melinda what more do we know about these accusations against china. well they're based on an investigation that was undertaken by germany's to mystic

intelligence agency the b.f. and the over the course of the past nine months a very comprehensive investigation and the charges that were made yesterday by the head of the agency mr moxon were in fact quite scathing he took the unusual step for example of demonstrating of using examples of eight different fake profiles that he said had been established by chinese presumably by a chinese intelligence organization for the purposes of essentially conducting espionage here in germany so what they did is they set up profiles on linked in which is one of the few international social media that is also available in china profiles of people who purported to be head hunters or think tank workers and these people tried to make contact with up to ten thousand different germans seeking in the beginning to perhaps invite them to attend conferences in china or perhaps to

contribute reports to publications all with the purpose of gaining information these targets were apparently often government officials but presumably also people working for german companies because there has been rising concern here in germany about chinese covert activities targeting german firms and what do what is the german government think that the chinese want to do with this information i mean what's the ultimate goal of this alleged spying. well classic spying trying to get information both on german government activities but as i said also very much in regard to two. industrial espionage concern about that has been rising throughout europe a concern that chinese investment projects may be used as a cover for stealing industrial secrets but also concern for example about cyber hacking mr marson talked about that as well yesterday saying that chinese agencies

are also using cyber hacking to try to get industrial secrets and it's worth remembering that germany leads the world in applications for advanced manufacturing patents so there are a lot of secrets here to be stolen the german government has tried in the past to get a watertight agreement from china against such measures but it hasn't succeeded so far our chief political correspondent linda greene on the story for us tonight here in berlin belinda thank you very much. and here's a reminder of the top stories that we're following for you people have been. one of new york city's busiest. device strapped to his body and he was one of those. that he was inspired. to take you through the day stick around for that.
