dismisses allegations that moscow have meddled in the us elections he also says use basant of what's going on in the united states. killing fields an aid organization has revealed that at least six thousand seven hundred looking gov muslims including many children were killed in the first month the violence that erupted in me and bar in organist. also coming up in the next sixty minutes india's shame for trade in goods to sex this will soar to a man of seventy five when she was just eleven as ill and the authorities are cracking dogs but really this succeeds in eliminating sex slavery. i don't welcome my mum but that she must. to have you with us the leaders are

gathering in brussels for a two day summit british prime minister to resume said to urge the european union to approve an agreement to move rigs the talks on to a second phase delegates are expected to give the go ahead on friday for talks to start a future trade relationship with britain the summit will also focus on migration as several eastern european countries come under pressure for refusing to accept refugee quotas. and of course a watching those developments for us in brussels is correspondent a matis now gil as you saw e.u. leaders have begun gathering for the start of this summit is going to be another tough meeting tell us more about the agendas which are up for discussion. a number of key issues really here for this two day summit you have the euro you have defense you have breakfasted and you have migration and a lot of light shaded in their shade for example is the row over migration

still very much simmering if you want in the e.u. skitch with some say they want to see more solidarity for the countries who carry the strongest burden italy and greece and others who would like to focus only on the defense of the extra borders and who do not want to hear anything about relocation or taking in refugees a lot of light for instance today will see the kick up of the defensive lines something that the u.k. has blocked for many years the british firm is there to resume is at the summit just after she suffered a setback in her own parliament sounds and this is weakened a position would it have an impact on discussions. i don't think it will have much of an impact i mean do you has gotten used to recently having internal problems the only concern you really remains that the year you once to hear a clear position from theresa may they hope that she will be strong enough to push

through any form of deal that is found within the next year so do you prevent a cliff action momentum where the u.k. could crash out without a deal something that would hurt not only the u.k. but also the. government is in brussels thank you very much. as we had this summit in brussels to endorse an agreement between the two sides last week which will then pave the way for a second stage of beggs i think it was a hard fought that almost collapsed before prime minister to resume and the european union announced what they called a breakthrough correspondent shot a chazzan pill has sister look at this report for you. with sufficient progress sufficient progress the months hearing those words have been top of negotiators christmas lists the e.u. have refused to one last phase two of talks until they'd been sufficient progress in phase one then after a last minute scramble and

a dash in the dead of night by to reason made to brussels finally a break three negotiators have reached a deal on three key issues citizens' rights the deal we've struck will guarantee the rights of more than three million citizens living in the u.k. and of a million u.k. citizens living in the on how much money the u.k. owes the e.u. after some tough conversations we've now agreed a settlement that is fair to the british taxpayer some forty billion years. and all of this instantly veiled threats from each member islands the european union is a family and families stick together there's a guarantee there will be no hard border dividing ireland and the u.k.'s northern ireland. last week's deal was like christmas come early for the british prime minister now with the e.u. heads of state expected to formally approve the deal here on friday this summit was meant to be another chance for celebration instead they we're seeing something quite different this week because don't blow after blow for projects breaks it

really dampening the festive spirit. london's brags that minister david davis was the first to burst the bubble he caused on parole in brussels after indicating the u.k. could legally back out of everything promised in phase one this was a statement of intent more than anything else it was much more so that it was a legally enforceable in all opinion that is really undermining. the trust that is necessary in such negotiations the ghost of brics its future is also hanging over this summit phase one was tough enough but phase two is expected to be even tougher with the u.k.'s future relationship with the e.u. still to be hammered out let us remember that the most difficult challenge is still ahead we all know that breaking gobbed is hard. about breaking up but. it's much harder and to make things worse the reason may have been

forced to give parliament a very time any final deal potentially derailing a future agreement all in all the prospects of what's ahead is drawing very little christmas cheer of course nothing is agreed until everything is. not a rush of a president body be pushing has been holding its mouth on and their press conference this is came just a week off to put in enough that he would stand for presidential elections next year the event lasted several hours and was attended by over sixteen hundred journalists one of us reporter asked about the allegations of collusion between the trump campaign and russia let's take a listen to what he had to say. you know all of this is being invented made up by people who are opposition to president trump with a view to shedding a negative light on what he's doing. for me it's very bizarre it's as if they were doing it without understanding one simple fact by doing that the people who are

responsible for it are dealing a blow to the entire political environment of the country. they impede what president trump is doing means they do not respect those who voted for mr trump. only. as we now do and i'm moscow bureau chief you go to the chateau and you were just putting dismissing allegations of confusion about what do you see a bug relations in general with washington. well riddle let me put it in as we heard this as expected to reject at all the geishas of any interference in u.s. elections saying that there are still contacts between politicians russian and american politicians who are normal but russian president praised quite unexpectedly u.s. president at least his economic policies sell it shows apparently that he still believes in trump at least in trump's intention to improve relations between the two countries this was one of the let's say surprising moments during that press

conference to me personally. of course forty eight in surface facing an election a few months down let's take a listen to some remarks he made about his potential challenge is. when we talk about the opposition it can't just be about politicians who make a lot of noise about an anti democratic regime the opposition has to come up with something concrete proposals on how to make our lives better. of course people are dissatisfied with a lot of things and indeed it is justified because we could have done better but when we look at the leaders of the opposition especially the non-system opposition we have our dogs as to whether they offer a concrete alternative. what exactly is president bush in trying to say about the opposition there. well that isn't putin criticised expectedly russia's national position and compared for example particularly russian opposition politician alex in

a volley with the former judge and politician and the georgian president and now the opposition politician in the ukraine mikhail saakashvili he said that the opposition would only run from one place to another one from one street to the other one and to do nothing so great to see if she criticised very clearly the protests here on the streets of moscow recently for the first time we have a female candidate here in russia a female candidate for the next presidency her name is ksenia sub chuck and she is in detroit she was also joining the press conference as a reporter of the independent channel doest not as a candidate for example of course senior sub chuck seems to be opposing letting the putin yes she's got absolutely identical values to alex and of ali who is undoubtedly opposing putin but he isn't allowed to participate in the election the problem is that kenya sub chuck norris put in personally from the childhood from the old times her father was putin's boss and st petersburg and she said she

wouldn't do anything against let me putin that unlike natalee who has pledged that he would prosecute mr putin but he wasn't at the press conference as a journalist and it this is usually a very highly anticipated event a huge press conference with some sixteen hundred journalists this time and of course have a long press conference how important is this press conference for the president. what looked like a bit like an old father tells stories from earlier to the to his relatives to his children and. some bad questions you know. this press conference is one of the two big t.v. shows of let me put it in this country in spring he celebrates himself as a carrying considerate father of all russians and now at the end of the gear he presents himself traditionally as a determined president who draws conclusions of the old year and shows directions

for next month or so especially today just two weeks after his announcement to run for the russian president's next year it was of course an attempt to show his platform to show his program and to start here election campaign right here rachet or in moscow thank you very much for that live update from there. and sting which remarks made by the russian president chris herren tim is with me now from us forces us to discuss some of fourteen's comments relating to the upcoming winter olympics welcome christiane we know that the country's been banned from the winter games in south korea that put himself with some a strong counter accusations against the i.o.c. as to why does she was penalized lismore well that's right vladimir putin has come out with some big accusations especially concerning the whistleblower who used to run the nation's anti-doping leg grigori rod shane cough let's hear some of what

putin had to say. it's obvious that this scandal is happening at the moment because of the upcoming elections and i don't care what people say because i'm convinced this is the case. when you go. grigori roche and called his working under the control of the american special services. what are they doing to him what kind of substances is he being given so that he says what they want him to say it's ridiculous. so chris what do you make off of president putin statements for one there are very strong words and i think it's clear when he says american special services sounds like c.i. a to me when he talks about you know he alleges what he's been given i don't know if putin is suggesting a truth serum of some sort but one thing is clear he's dismissing everything

russian office testified to his test of testimony led to the ban that russia is currently dealing with and the russian authorities pretty much dismiss it off as a nut job scientists say that he has some kind of gripe a bone to pick and they are upset at the idea that he's even in the united states and not in russia so it's clear with putin where he stands he's on the line and he's pointing fingers but is there any chance that the i.o.c. will look at into some of the claims being made by putin and could anything change with this ban in the winter you know what could they really do i mean if anything this makes it worse the i.o.c. will not lift their bed unless russia complies which they failed to do so currently the russian athletes have to compete under a neutral flag if they manage to prove to the i.o.c. didn't comply to the conditions the flag might be available during the medal ceremonies but as of right now they're only words from putin putin fueling this and the i.o.c. made their decision based on the testimony from raw change of so it looks like it's

a dark tunnel ahead of russia in russian athletics as a whole chris huntington from us process thank you very much. turning now to soccer and linda siegel he does mine munich were licking their lips at the prospect of windows cologne coming to town last night but the basemen side put up more of a fight than even their own fans might have thought possible after school this opening half cologne started on the offensive off the break and could have taken the lead had. not lost his cool however bines a robot eleven doffs he kept his cool one live the fun school in munich and still no win for cologne sixteen matches into the season. you're watching the news coming up ahead entire families burned to death in their homes a charity says an aid organization says it has evidence showing that thousands of routing the muslims were killed in her afic violence. in manama.

then joins me and this seems to be a sigh of relief on the markets ben what's the story there is a big sigh of relief today no big surprises no rates change that's the story the e.c.b. leaving its benchmark refinancing rates at historic low of zero percent and it will stay there for an extended period of time well past the horizon of its net asset purchases the e.c.b. is right sitting council plans to continue its bond buying program at thirty billion euros a month from january until the end of september at least in the u.s. the federal reserve has pushed the benchmark rate to between one and a quarter and one and a half percent move seen as a vote of confidence in the economy the central bank there expects the jobs market and economy to strengthen and it predicts three more rate rises next year. years let's go over to daniel cope our financial correspondent in frankfurt down

you're following things there closely details trickling in what's your judgment good news or bad news. well pretty much it's the news that was expected here by investors nobody here at the frankfurt stock exchange was believing that mario draghi would be announcing higher interest rates today also we are also getting word that there also is not going to be any kind of change of the bond purchasing program remember that during the last meeting taking place a few months ago this bond purchasing program was reduced from sixty billion euros amounts to just thirty billion euros a month i was just actually just looking outside at the blue chip index that after this news that has been going down a little bit but pretty much it's everything it's the news that everybody was expecting here ben and we're hearing for the e.c.b. that the right to go to stay there for an extended period of time well beyond the horizon of its net asset purchases it all sounds very. very distant

yeah very distant indeed i mean we know that the bomb purchasing program is extended until fall next year this would be the earliest time we could see higher interest rates but many here also at the trading floor are thinking that the first time we really might see high interest it could be in two thousand and nineteen and two thousand and nineteen mario draghi will also retire so this could be kind of his last job on the job at the end to announce higher interest rates for the eurozone bam do you cope thanks for your analysis the update there from frankfurt. you might be asking why the europeans haven't implemented similar monetary policy to the united states well one of the main reasons is that their respective central bank structure is a just too different the e.c. b. is a european union institution in which eurozone member countries have voting rights

the u.s. federal reserve is regulated by u.s. law but is owned by private banks the fed structure hard to fathom its governors and chip person chosen by the president e.c. b.'s prime objective is to maintain price stability so it's trying to keep inflation at around or below two percent annually the fed doesn't have those open its job is to prevent financial crises but it does like to see inflation when two percent as well the e.c. b. doesn't take the jobs market into account when making policy the fed eyes employment data very closely it's supposed to ensure full employment which it defines as no more than six percent of employed full americans. the meeting of the world trade organization in desirous has ended in discord the three day summit of world trade ministers failed to solve any of the most pressing issues drawing strong rebukes from trade chiefs from europe the u.s.

and south africa in light of the lack of progress the w t o director general cold on the body to do some soul searching. no agreement on agricultural reforms no agreement on scrapping subsidies that supports illegal fishing no agreement even on a joint closing statement there was some lip service paid to the importance of the w t o but ultimately for director general roberto azevedo the words help little waste what is disappointing is that this. translates into action if we really all supported that which you really do. we have to bury more. that multilateralism doesn't mean that we get what we want. what is possible it's not comparable to expect multilateralism to

work and at the same time expect to walk out with everything you want speaking of walking out earlier in the week u.s. trade representative robert likes heiser accuse the w t o of losing its focus on trade and becoming a little geisha centered organization he then proceeded to leave the meeting early . on the streets outside thousands of demonstrators marched to protest against what they see as the effects of multilateralism greater inequality and weaker workers' rights with their representatives unable to reach any meaningful consensus their conviction that globalization has failed is only likely to strengthen. and to a mega deal in the entertainment business disney is to spend fifty two billion dollars to acquire a large part of twenty first century fox and you will see it is they take over forces film and t.v. studios as well as cable and international t.v. operations before the buyout twenty first century fox will separate its programs to

crackdown the un has called it a textbook example of ethnic cleansing no please you joining me now is florian best he's the general director of doctors without borders here in germany welcome florian i mean i'm up with the death toll from the violence in iraq kind state at four hundred your one issacson is not presented a much higher number how do you reach a figure of six thousand seven hundred. and this figure is based on a series of surveys we conducted in the refugee camps in bangladesh primarily obviously amongst those ranges who had reached in bangladesh recently since to twenty fifth of august and overall we interviewed more than two thousand four hundred households asking them about this in the household both joining the period and christians or late august until late september but also before it often so that we have the basis for comparison and then looking at with these people who live it is realistic to draw an extrapolation and to arrive at these numbers and the six thousand seven hundred at this in the first months we think is

a conservative estimate because obviously what we have not been able to do is to survey those strangers who never left me and mom we're still in iraq and states say you also have a has in a sense what a number to the chorus in min ma what impact do you think this will have. well we hope that it will draw attention to what the extreme situation the ring guess i exposed to in myanmar also to the fact that we simply do not know in many respects what is happening to those rain us who are still in rakhine state in myanmar but also that it really puts into doubt the recently announced agreement between me and mon bangladesh concerning the return of these people we do not believe that dream guest should be forced against their will to return to me and under these circumstances because clearly their security cannot be insured. and then you had big concerns about very bad trading i don't hear back to tell me and

not what you think that is the notion because bangladesh is not happy to keep them either. well at the moment the solution has to be to try and take care of these people as best as possible inside bangladesh and that remains extremely difficult in overcrowded refugee camps to try and take care of the material and especially their medical needs which we are very heavily involved in but under the current circumstances it simply appears as if their security their protection cannot be and should inside me i'm right now so it should be left up to those people themselves to decide whether they want to return on not that incidentally is the general principle of international refugee law that nobody should be forced back into a situation where they're potentially exposed to persecution and violence feel invest director of doctors without borders in jail me thank you very much for the.

and was attended by over sixteen hundred journalists. child marriage has been outlawed in india for mood. in a decade but that hasn't stopped it from some poor neighborhoods criminal middlemen scam the streets for child brides for on demand visiting from the arab states parents and clerics receive payoffs to allow the unions loose the so-called marriages are a sham with devastating consequences. not even. when you're a con is that work at a woman center and head there are bad she tells us she's nineteen but she doesn't know exactly when she was born. many years face reflects her tragic past she was only eleven years old when her parents sold her for fifty thousand rupees the equivalent of eight hundred euros. it made. no one asked me my relatives came together and decided to marry me off to

a seventy five year old man from amman they only told me on the day of the wedding when i saw the old man all i could do was cry i tried to persia estan said i'm far too young. but he's going to give me every. india outlawed child marriage in two thousand and six but in the nearest case as with many other women here the marriage broker used to falsify documents. a corrupt the man presided over the wedding ceremony when he arose forced to go with the old man for three weeks he sexually abused her in a hotel in hyderabad then he disappeared when the man was informed that nero was pregnant he divorced her over the phone from oman that was eight years ago until recently the muslim practice of instant divorce used to be legal in india many of his daughter muskaan has never seen her father. and that i have suffered a great deal whenever i think about it it still upsets me mentally i don't want to

cry here in front of my daughter. most conscient have to ask why her mother isn't happy that would upset her too much that is on so many but to go without sunni or takes us to her parents she had no choice pregnant and still a child herself than a single mother or a had to move back home her mother rafia big tells us how much she also suffered because of the story specifically because of her daughter's divorce she still doesn't see anything wrong with the marriage itself she only wanted her daughter to have a better life she had no idea the older man was only after sex. it was the our neighbors also married off their daughter to a shake and she got a new house and a small fortune. i was hoping for the same from one era that's why we married her

off as well being in no way to have more money or is family lives in a poor muslim area many people here believe that selling their daughters off in the emirates will be their salvation the women's rights group shaheen says that this happens in every third family here. every day desperate girls show up at the women center not all of them are about to be sold off abroad often they come because of everyday problems jamila nishant is the founder of shaheen. she doesn't accept poverty as an excuse. but it was she says the problem is that many muslim families view women as property. they have it it's not just. because it was already a you know like creed is one of the things and especially as the girl was married many thousands gave a giving so much of its time money supposing she is married one day she may get

fifty thousand sick in bed in the few hours and if she's a good looking maybe she's the one when. authorities and head there are about have recently started to crack down on the trafficking of women and girls earlier this year police arrested numerous people including indian marriage brokers and men from the emirates seeking a child bride many of them are already married in wanted a second or third wife we're just a quick thrill when we meet the man who made these arrests possible haji khan himself spent years brokering illegal marriages to arab men he shows us the hotels they cooperated with him he warns us not to go there there would be trouble he tells us trafficking the women and girls is easy because until recently many indians did not have official birth certificates or i.d.'s. the girls now say they were eleven or twelve years old but that's not true in reality there were already

eighteen i think all right maybe some were only fourteen or fifteen but only a few of them in any case were just for the paperwork to show they were twenty four or twenty five. the shakes contacted us via middlemen they then travel to india officially for medical treatment in a hospital then they married the girls. most of them left the girls behind i knew the entire time that all this was illegal and i could end up in jail if the police caught me. he tells us that at some point he started to feel guilty. can men went to the police and help them crack a trafficking ring. the story is confirmed by the deputy police chief of his era bad he led the investigation and still cannot believe how parents are willing to sell off their children many of them underage.

that happening ho ho the beatings that. are. going to the school. is not coming back given. the. beings in the country really you don't how. many people in the muslim slums of his era bad are deeply religious the corrupt islamic clerics involved in the trafficking of child brides take advantage of their authority the indian government gives the country's muslim minority the right to issue its own marriage certificates. the islamic clerics conducting the marriage ceremonies tell parents it's all in accordance with the koran. and when you're a can has paid a bitter price for the cynicism as a divorced single mother she will have a hard time ever getting remarried. i made

a comment but i want to share my story with everyone i don't want more girls to be sold off but the goal should be made aware of what's in store for them. even if most of the women at shaheen have experienced horrible things the center offers them a place where they can feel safe and where they can think about more pleasant things at least for a few hours. was. that report by peta get a hot telling out of business and to ban and most stranded passengers in german carriers a mounting a joint rescue operation exactly this time at nikki it's a subsidiary of air berlin which is bankrupt now it's gone insolvent the fans it was going to buy it was blocked by competition health authorities now the austrian based low cost holiday carrier has collapsed leaving us still stranded. someone

like nicky lauder perhaps the former racing driver who founded nicky and then sold it to another for a new kid i'm still interested in nicky it's important to secure jobs and i want to fly with nicky again but it's more complicated now because we're looking at insolvency again fortunately nicky has a thousand employees and up to ten thousand frustrated passengers with worthless tickets the austrian government is considering offering the airline a bridging loan. in them and think we should help but we need to work out how that will look exactly and what it will really mean it it or. aviation giant lufthansa offered to buy nicky following a berlin's insolvency but then said the european commission's come dishes for the takeover were too strict and withdrew its bid the german government has given ample in a bridging loan of one hundred fifty million euros and so if no new bit it can be found to nikki german taxpayers could be hit hard. to report on today

a spade doubts where the nicky lauder is even interested in buying up the. struggling airline explaining to you why no one really wants to buy the airline at all it's actually a fairly small asset and the question is it was suppose it was regarded at first as like the crown jewel of the former aberdeen assets but now it turns out it might be more like a hollow shell like in name only and a thousand employees it actually doesn't own very many aircraft anymore as they have been already shifted around among less sores are given back even or transferred to your wings even so it's not totally clear besides the name what this small holiday on really consists of at the moment so that's why it interest hasn't been overwhelming so far since yesterday the u.s. federal communications commission is set to perverse net neutrality rules championed by former president barack obama they bought providers from blocking or

slowing access to content or charging consumers more the rules were intended to ensure a free and open internet. every day hundreds of millions of people browse countless numbers of websites the principle of net neutrality means that operators cannot give preferential treatment to the speed at which certain websites laud advocates say it's a democratic system but net neutrality could soon be a thing of the past in the u.s. pilot the head of the u.s. communications regulator wants to turn the internet economy into a free market by allowing internet service providers like eighteen t. and verizon to charge websites for their data to be transported at a greater speed critics say that would create a two class internet a faster one and a slower one we could find that first part of next year that there are substantial harm to the economy based upon internet transactions if you can't complete them when you thought you could or if they are smaller or let's use the example of

netflix if you're unable to download and watch a movie that you thought you were going to be able to stream simply because it's not available during that time because your eye is b. doesn't allow it websites that want to be accessed quickly could be forced to pay to get on a fast internet highway some say higher costs could lead to less investment in innovation but it's more likely that the companies costs could be passed on to ordinary users. a story that you will remember for about half a year ago it's been hard for years since that horrible fire in actually the grenfell tower fire a memorial service is being held in london honoring the victims of the grenfell time fire which took place six months ago the same body was in simple as cathedral survivors of the fire one attendance along with senior politicians and members of the royal family at least seventy one people were killed in the town fire that broke out in the early morning hours of june the fourteenth the base quickly spread to up the twenty four story building trapping dozens inside the disaster shocked

the nation for many the charred ruins as a symbol of the city's disregard for its low income residents. the many of the survivors are still unhappy with local authorities for how they handled the situation then did the obvious london correspondent to get moss was at that dreadful ptolemy moral service and she explains why. survivors have been really putting on the blame on the council and i think it's due to the fact that many people had before the fire broke out warned that there is a danger that this is a building that's not safe and then the fire broke out of course it's something that still looms over the area even now six months after i spoke to a friend who lives in the area recently and she still had tears in her eyes because she needs to walk across the street and see the building and when she talks about it she's still really moved and then imagine how this must be for people who are

much more closely attached to. survivors so they are blaming the council mostly kensington and chelsea council but they don't feel that they've been treated adequately many people are still in accommodation that they don't find us appropriate they also talking about not having them the help that they want from the council changing offices changing people that deal with them and that they find it very difficult to be had. that was big news correspondent a major retrospective of the works of american pop artists and james rosenquist who died earlier this year has just opened in big museum in the city of cologne in germany robin lehner from a. more avant it who isn't this is not the most kind of well known names in the movement get people don't seem to know him that then why well they know andy warhol

the royalist and james rosen chris really is up there with them. are well known because he didn't like the. uneasy with this title and he was in a very good self publicist either when you think of warhol he was. screen painting it used collages that were talking about advertising logos paste. paintings now rosenquist used this as well and used a lot of consumerism in his early art but he did it all he painted it all he was actually the most fantastic into this comes back to when he worked for a billboard companies in new york doing advertising symbols you know and he considered himself very much the painter and he didn't want to be categorized in some.

james rosenquist is an icon of pop he started out as a painter of advertising hoardings and this was perhaps the most important influence on his later. i always wanted to end with a question rather than an answer and he wanted to keep it surprising and he didn't want. for someone to come and say oh that's what that is he wanted to create a mystery for the viewer and. it took almost a week to install this one monumental trip alone swimming in the economist a vortex of images reflecting on politics economics war and commerce originally created for an exhibition in germany after the fall of the. rosy request liked to make collages using images from every day consumerism.
