says. he knows that he's among many refugees hoping to reunite with their families . but he and his brothers have little chance of bringing their relatives here the german government expects refugees like him to return home at some point if they're not in danger of persecution the u.n. disagrees with this policy. the need for protection is the same you cannot predict a conflict is significantly shorter than the need for protection based on individual persecution for example because someone is a political opponent mentioned people need to be with their families we have to see the situation from a humanitarian perspective it's not right that people should be separated from their spouses and children for years at a time and this is a question of humanity and for the teat cussen isn't sure why it's difficult for refugee families to be reunited here imagine he says if germans were in his

situation all alone in a new country without family in any case he's adamant that returning to syria is not an option there's nothing left for him to do but wait for the decision from the authorities and keep in touch with his wife every day online. here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world observers say at least sixteen civilians have been killed in government airstrikes on syria's province that brings the death toll to thirty three people since sunday is the only province in syria under the control of opposition forces government troops have. been making advances in recent weeks israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu was in moscow for talks with russian president vladimir putin the two are expected to discuss israel's concerns about an expansion of iran's military involvement in syria russia has close relations with both countries thousands of people have reportedly been left homeless following a fire at

anyone else who rebels against the legitimate government no matter who they are left right silence east if they're not with the government then they're an enemy of the entire country but of course. the complex conflict has devastated yemen already one of the region's poorest countries long running u.n. backed efforts have so far failed to bring peace now the u.n. is urging parties involved in the latest violence to end the fighting and pursue dialogue. or earlier we spoke to political scientists many are from the university of zurich and we asked her what the latest developments mean for civilians caught in the crossfire of yemen's complex one. means another. case another. source of money kerry and is that says that the situation is complicated enough and right now we need this

here at the university clinic in africa in two thousand and thirteen and fourteen a group of twenty five healthy people were made to inhale nitrogen dioxide in varying concentrations over periods of hours several times a week manufacturers' wanted to use the tests to determine exactly how dangerous nitrogen dioxide was to humans the tests were commissioned by the european research organization for environment and health and financed by german car makers v.w. b.m.w. and german parts supplier bosch the study was supposed to be conducted under the car the that they were to be no negative effects on the human subjects but the methods which have now been revealed have let loose a wave of indignation. it's absolutely understandable that people are outraged that tests on monkeys and even on human beings cannot be justified. that amounts to nothing more than hot air according to environmental organizations they

say the german government has been in bed with the automotive lobby for years. mrs merkel is really the first chancellor and she even fights in brussels to make sure that emissions regulations are less strict and if possible not controls which control yet and it seems there were no controls at volkswagen either the supervisory board says it knew nothing about the studies and is now threatening consequences. to complex this complex is reprehensible ethically morally and in that sense i think the w. will have to hold the employees who are responsible for this accountable so they can shift. these revelations will deliver another blow to the german car industry's image. david beckham has launched a major league soccer team in miami the announcement was made of a ceremony in the city on monday the new team has yet to be named but back when he
