then to have to have the awesome responsibility of lethal force to take a life. thank you. nobody wants to see a shoot out in a school and to arrange sociopath on his way to commit an act of. murder in a school with the outcome knowing the outcome is going to be suicide is not going to care if there's somebody there with a gun that's their plan anyway trump also vowed to improve background checks and said he was open to raising the minimum age for buying high powered weapons. it was a meeting heavy with raw emotion just doesn't make sense fix it should have been one school shooting and we should have fixed it i turned eighteen the day after or up to the news that my best friend was gone. and i don't understand why i could still go in a store and buy a weapon of war. listening session is unlikely to quieten the growing calls from

7:07 am
of a school shooting in your own school i'm a completely afraid of our security at school think you need to be high incomplete . after these type of events keep reoccurring everywhere you need to make a change make a change in the gun laws make a change in security make stricter gun laws stricter security make a school a safe place not a place to be about possibly having school get shot up every day the only way to make a difference is if the kids in the school get out and make a difference and stand up where we are in our nation's capital that that's what's going to make a difference not sitting in school and letting these things happen every year because it's not it's not a challenge. today day for been sitting for hours in front of the white house to protest sent to remember the victims of gun violence victims that could have easily been their own classmates. now let's take a look at some other stories making news around the world today an attacker has thrown a suspected grenade at the u.s. embassy compound in montenegro and then blew himself up with another explosive

ceasefire syrian government strikes are again pounding eastern today the syrian military says it's targeting terrorists but independent monitors say more than three hundred people have been killed since sunday most of them civilians we want to warn you that you may find the images in this next report upsetting. for a war that's been raging for nearly seven years the images a new less shocking and no less harrowing. this boy's parents face is unknown and will become of him. in towns already reduced to any hospital still standing is completely overwhelmed. since sunday the syrian government's reportedly aided by russian forces has stepped
7:10 am
up its bombardment of this rebel. with little regard for those who inhabit it. and still the fighter jets keep coming if what happened in homs in aleppo is anything to go by they won't stop until there's no one left to survive there being starved in their own homes. so the situation is getting worse and people are forced to stay on their grounds to avoid the shelling on able to go on to the streets or whatever's left of them to collect or buy food. condemned the syrian government but that comes as little consolation to the people of eastern. actions
7:11 am
have far more facts than just what's. going on. and the un security council is expected to vote on a resolution demanding a thirty day cease fire in syria to allow for humanitarian aid and medical evacuations that vote could come as soon as today. well here in germany chancellor angela merkel is due to give a key policy speech in parliament today it will be her first major address to the bonus talk since the general election pov months ago and will focus on the e.u. summit starting on friday the talks are expected to focus on how to plug the brig's the budget hole for the remaining twenty seven members of the britain's departure and twenty nine team could leave a twelve billion euro annual short fall short haul medical admits will be very challenging. more of the chancellor's speech let's bring in the w.
7:12 am
political correspondent thomas sparrow good morning told us morning terry chancellor merkel regularly addresses parliament thomas what makes today's speech so significant that's correct she does address parliament to regular basis but as you mentioned this is the first time that she will do precisely that before the parliament after the election in september so it will also be the very first time that she will be confronted directly in the parliament to for example her most vocal opponents the elected members of the alternative for germany the anti immigrant populist party so that's one reason why it will be particularly important but it's also important because it will happen against a backdrop of uncertainty here in germany the fact that germany still doesn't have a new governing coalition and also uncertainty at a european level when you talk about for example breck state and that will be one of the topics that will be discussed at the european union summit namely that long . way to them of the budget or the long term composition of the parliament in other
7:13 am
words issues that go well beyond. the membership of the u.k. in the e.u. so uncertainty at home uncertainty over the european union so the chancellor is briefing parliament just ahead of that e.u. summit coming up to morrow i'm going to go still hasn't formed a new government since september election as you noticed. she take charge in any european decision making given that she's essentially a caretaker chancellor or she is a caretaker johnson and the fact that we have uncertainty here in germany is also the fact that we have uncertainty to european level germany's european partners are rather concerned about the fact that germany has been now for more than four months without a new stable coalition it is probable that academical will also address this today in a speech before parliament she will also be talking about what role. europe plays in that coalition deal that was signed on that she says and he hopes the members of
7:14 am
the social democratic party will vote in favor of so obviously the uncertainty here in germany the fact that there is still no government after so long will play a role in what i'm going to michael says parliament under discussion that will fall off thomas thank you so much from. thomas sparrow there from our political desk. and we will be covering chancellor merkel speech live you can also stream it off line w dot com that's coming up in just about two hours from now saying here in germany in just a few hours a federal court in life is set to hand down a landmark ruling that could clear the way for a ban on diesel cars in major cities the case was started by an environmental group which says the city of stood has not done enough to limit the harm caused by diesel a mission. well for more that expected court ruling let's bring in christopher
7:15 am
spring gate he is in today how did we get to this point that the country's top administrative court has to deal with the issue of these deliberations. well terry the crossing you see behind me here the nica tour crossing is crucial for this process basically the russias getting underway here in stuttgart and thousands of commuters coming into the center of the city and the emissions that they are causing mean that the readings of a. quality monitoring station which is just to my right very high and they have been quite high for some years now especially the readings for nitrogen dioxide which is a fairly noxious substance caused by diesel cause and as you mentioned
7:16 am
a leading german environmental group took short got to court they won that case last july the court suggested that diesel bans on diesel powered vehicles. should be imposed that's when the state to vote and back took over they worried about the legality of such bans so they appealed to that ruling at the administrative court here in stuttgart they took it to the top court in germany the federal administrative court in light station that's the court ruling that we're waiting on later today ok chris if there is a diesel ban who would be affected the most. well of course the owners of diesel powered vehicles will be directly affected if there is a ban they won't be able to drive into central stuttgart for instance and there's another group that is very very warry that's the large community here in germany of small businesses tradesmen handy craftsman they've invested heavily in diesel
7:17 am
powered vehicles and as i say they are very very worried about the possibility of a diesel ban as i've been finding out. it's the busiest time of day at this family run bakery and. dozens of customers throughout the city are waiting for their morning deliveries. like many small businesses in germany it's invested in diesel powered delivery vehicles which are cheaper to run due to years of tax breaks for diesel a ban on day use would hit the company hard. with a ban on diesel powered vehicles covers the whole city then we have a problem in principle we'd have to shut down. we can't deliver our products by public transport so we'd have nowhere to go. zinah blames the sheer volume of traffic in german cities and has some of the country's worst it's in
7:18 am
a city absorbs over four hundred thousand commuters every day this busy stretch of road in central stuttgart is called the neck of talk crossing and it's become something of a household name in germany that's because with an average of almost seventy thousand vehicles passing through in both directions every single day it's now one of the country's absolute hotspots for air pollution. last year the monitoring station at the nec atoll crossing measured an average of seventy three micrograms with nitrogen dioxide a cubic metre that's almost double the legal limit which is why activists are calling for tough measures. a lot of people here suffer from respiratory diseases old people in particular and. people move out of this area as soon as they can afford it and that's why we urgently need to diesel back here it would have an immediate effects. is keen to avoid diesel bans so it's introduced traffic reduction schemes and public awareness
7:19 am
campaigns encouraging people to cycle to work or use public transport policy makers are also progressively reducing the cost of public transport. and the city is also hosting this pioneering project using a wall of morse to suck cum pollution out of the atmosphere the walls about one hundred metres long three metres high whether it works though isn't fully clear yet . germany's powerful car makers are also firmly against driving bans but in the wake of the emissions cheating scandal the tight lipped at the moment. the quest for you know there are. other ironic that would be considering a diesel cars given that basically germany's motor city. what are carmakers saying about all this now. well some of the bosses are talking
7:20 am
about expropriation. essentially if there is a diesel ban even the prospect of a diesel ban has already begun to affect their business model which you know they do sell a lot of diesel vehicles i think thirty three percent of the new registrations in january were diesel vehicles although that is down from forty five percent at the same time last year so this is affecting their business model and the other thing is the resale value of diesel vehicles is plummeting a lot of candelo sitting on the sold secondhand diesels that nobody wants to buy at the moment chris thank you so much they'd always christopher spring day there in stock on. their welcome. well how to clean up the air it's a big question and people in the business world of course are giving it a hard think they're going to have to be ready on day with those days the bands on
7:21 am
the table terry of course that verdict that we're waiting for could have a nationwide impact here in germany and it should hopefully fuel the debate over how to improve quality in cities now the e.u. commission is already called on germany and eight other european countries with high pollution to take action and many european cities are already taking steps to clean up their acts. the special plants plight and pollution enthusiastic in germany say they can grab a particular matter out of the air and even convert it into pop. several places in germany now have the so-called city trees. london has another right it sits up to tell you the drive is an old polluting cars have paid an extra ten pounds a day more than eleven you're raised to drive in the city center of britain's capital thoughts on top of the congestion charges. already in place limits a part of a package of measures were the most recent fossils of the buses that
7:22 am
a cleaner was stopped by diesel buses only hybrid electric and a hardened double decker buses will license it in a diesel taxi's we're encouraging them give them the assistance to move from diesel to. increase the amount of money we spend on public transport but also for kate and cycling spain's capital madrid also introduce drastic measures at the end of twenty sixteen when pollution levels get too high half the privately owned cars abound from the road and whether you can drive depends on your license plate number the idea came from italy where these temporary bans have been implemented in rome in milan paris also adopted the idea. in the bulk area in capitals the fia levels of particular exceeded the limit for several days at the end of january. the city issued thousands a day ticket spoke public transport it's a heavily discounted price. one idea currently under discussion in germany is free

7:30 am
but i also admire people who want to stay here who decided to create something. in peace time who are the people making it possible what needs to happen if tolerance and reconciliation are to stand a chance. this city's after war starting march tenth on t w. welcome back here at the news i'm terry martin our top story u.s. president donald trump has suggested arming teachers as a way to stop more school shootings the outlines proposal at a meeting with survivors of the florida gun rampage that killed seventeen people. the. leader is preaching hate governments ignoring basic freedoms the suppression of minorities every year and the stay international releases a report on the state of human rights around the world this year it paints
7:31 am
a very bleak picture we'll talk with an embassy spokesman about the report in a moment but first here are some of the main finding us. free at last. after a year in detention the german journalist denise you chel has been released from prison in turkey but many others have not been so lucky. amnesty international's report describes the dead. stating human rights situation not just in turkey but in many countries around the world. we are concerned to see that individual governments are not just blatantly flouting international and national human rights standards but also support an alternative approach that builds on national unity letter realism violation of international legal obligations and of the notion of might makes right. and the stock of governments are especially targeting those who advocate freedom and human rights
7:32 am
one in two thousand and sixteen about two hundred eighty human rights defenders were murdered across the world one year later the number was over three hundred in colombia alone more than one hundred people paid with their lives for their human rights activism. but there is also a glimmer of hope in many countries more and more civilians are defending themselves against state repression for example in poland in the summer of two thousand and seventeen thousands of people demonstrated against proposed limits on the constitutional court's authority it's named in spite of the increasing encroachments on the freedoms of opinion and assembly in many countries there are active civil society groups and human rights defenders and now it is important that the community of nations and many governments support these people these are mentioned. until now that has just been an idealistic dream and the release of
7:33 am
denise you chel an exception in turkey alone more than one hundred journalists remain in jail. for more on that report let's bring in david griffiths he's head of the secretary general's office at amnesty international and he joins us from london good morning to you david in your new report it describes a devastating human rights situation around the world what countries concern you the most. well i think what we don't as the international has said in our annual report released today has good news and bad knees bad knees is that in so many countries across the world we've seen had the rhetoric of hatred and fear from many leaders has crossed into reality and real policy making and action from those leaders and go we've also seen the guinea's of people standing up and saying no to that we've seen the rise of resistance movements right across the world and this
7:34 am
has been a global patent now we have launched our report this year we've chosen to launch it for the first time in washington d.c. because of course the impact of president said donald trump's administration over the past year on the human rights in the world is being extremely concerning we've seen how the that there rhetorical traps campaign has translated into real action three things like the attempt to ban. the citizens of many muslim majority countries from entering the u.s. it seems that reinstatement of the global gag rule which is that the health care of millions of women and girls around the world at rest we've seen had the refugee resettlement program which for so many years has been a beacon of hope for refugees has been cut right back to its lowest numbers in the u.s. so what's happening in that country is particularly concerning but let's be clear
7:35 am
that this is a truly global trend but on the other side of the ledger there's plenty of good unease too you know we saw right at the beginning of trump's administration that extraordinary women's much in washington d.c. with its around world one of the biggest protest movements well all time and we've seen that. pattern replicated in many other countries today in poland for example as your report mentioned massive protests against gun. and attempts to use. to repress the freedom of the judiciary have held back that particular. challenge today human rights in poland so you know that is the good news that people's resistance is working. ok so you mention the united states one particularly problematic place in recent given recent developments there colombia seems to be a particularly dangerous place for human rights activists despite the twenty
7:36 am
sixteen peace accord there we saw something in our report about that is that because purely because of the drug trade. well i mean in colombia there is one are many countries around the world where we've seen a significant increase in the threats to human rights defenders to people standing up for justice in human rights you know there are there are particular causes for that in colombia but cross the world we see how governments. have been jailing activists and journalists in huge numbers. in china are actually the world's largest. of journalists across the world. seeing an increase globally in the number of killings of. human rights three hundred twelve recorded seventeen which is the highest that is being recorded it now we are when you look at the trends in recent years david because you're released this port
7:37 am
report regularly do you see the human rights situation on a global scale improving or getting worse. well we see any movement on both sides actually you know that there are there is serious cause for concern and amnesty international has warned for the past years that you know governments ignoring human rights obligations. is causing a race to the bottom of this viral and respect for human rights and we've seen the way that human rights of civilians are trampled upon so poorly in conflict situations nothing more clearly than the assault on civilian lives in peace and a good step in damascus over the past few days we've also seen hauling atrocities taking place in. the past year that's been one of their realness dia's that human rights and twenty seventeen the military campaign of ethnic cleansing against the
7:38 am
range of book relation which has caused more than six hundred thousand women men and children to treat across the border into bangladesh fearing for their lives and you know this birol of conflict and targeting of civilians is only going to stop when countries are willing to take action and to stand up to the abuse of civilian lives that flagrant abuse of civilian lives first twenty eighteen is the year when the universal declaration of human rights then seventy years old and it's really incumbent on all of us to stand up for our rights to claim them to reclaim their fundamental values of the dignity and equality of all members of the human family and to say clearly to our leaders that that is what we want as the basis of policy making in the world david thank you so much for that david griffith there head of the secretary general's office at amnesty international speaking to us from london . thank you. well as david mentioned amnesty has decided to launch their
7:39 am
report in the united states which it says has endured an especially difficult year in terms of human rights other activist groups have also expressed concern about what they see as a rise in religious and racial intolerance under the troll presidency. for the first time and this internationals and all report is being released in the us capital washington d.c. for the human rights watch jack it's supposed to send a clear message and the secretary general explains why the united states is a country which has huge influence across the world but we have a president who has interviews of global gag rule who is scuttling free to resettlement numbers and who has introduced a muslim by an suv we want to hold it here to highlight the serious human rights violations which are being caused by this country and the message is clear that you know if you sacrifice human it comes at a huge human cost and it will never make america great again muslim
7:40 am
organizations are also concerned about current trends the council of american islamic relations has been challenging really just stereotypes since one thousand nine hundred ninety five founder ibrahim hooper says their job has become harder under president trump. obviously this president has issues in terms of his personal views on on white supremacy on racism on being against immigrants or people of color somehow he believes he benefits from increasing divisions within within society and as he creates the divisions he decreases respect for the constitution for democracy itself and that's something that's very troubling the u.s. congress muslims who work on capitol hill are allowed to pray here every friday a right granted to them in one thousand nine hundred seventy. the mom leading
7:41 am
today's prayers says it underscores america's openness towards different religions . first and then you have the right to pray and this is the people's house that's what we called the captains the people's house and if you work here you work and you have the right to pray here you heidi up to my leak has warships in congress for ten years he has a different view on how to ease the current tensions in american society. what we need now to right this tension that we're seeing and being exacerbated by the trump administration is for us to look at the fundamentals of what is happening to the middle class poor and working class white people. not just latinos not just blacks and we and i'm one of them i left my white brother behind and so his response is to say well if you didn't care about me i don't care about you that has
7:42 am
to be fixed the midterm elections in november will take the pulse of american society and will be a crucial test for the presidency american voters will have their say and they may decide to absent the balance of power in congress. let's move on to france now where a president. is embarking on sweeping reforms he's promised to tackle problems in the so-called. the an elected immigrant suburbs of paris that are often hotspots of social conflict and bought what's in our next report we take a closer look at thirty kilometers south of the french capital and we meet some people there who want to leave behind the vicious cycle of poverty and crime. it's an opulent metropolis. the grant of power symbolized the city's wealth and worldliness. but just a short drive from the city center is the suburb of could be mocked by drought

it's about the general malaise in france. i've witnessed these kinds of situations at home since i was a child the police brutality is that's what i wanted to show. back and get any a lot of people know these kinds of stories firsthand fifty percent of students leave school without a qualification. but here at this training center many i'm getting a second chance they're learning skills that will help them on their way to becoming electrical engineers also sort of people. in this area and there aren't many companies that give young people the chance to develop to join i didn't know this was on p.c. sinclair giving us an opportunity so we need to do our best you know but it wasn't all that they'll fill it with a year old is the mayor of can you. joining the last regional elections he and

second leg but when you factor in there were no goals scored you had to give the advantage of the home side you know ahead of this match up a lot of questions around a paul paul would he play or would he not he was left out the starting line up an injury to under our era her early in the first half open up the door for paul but he did come in alex sanchez joined the team specifically to contribute in the champions league his debut was lackluster he didn't really show much their best opportunity came with who he had an opportunity early on but he failed to hit paydirt the game was really about the defense in the goalkeeper david de hey he's arguably the best goalkeeper in the world civilian had twenty five shots on goal and remarkably david haye was there to stop everyone. best that came right before the first half luis morel had a header and the quick cat reflexes have to save the day the game ended even but as i've mentioned early on i do think the home side has the advantage paul and steve

in zone z. shared their actually french teammates and how they walked off. off the pitch but on the home side you have to give a lot of credit to them and i think that they will move forward i think so there's a lot of talent on the field that manchester united put a lot of money into putting their team together if you think they're going to be like deeply disappointed having comma this with only an illness of course you'll be disappointed if you don't get a return on your investment i mean look at the money they just offer paul pope over eighty million you know roman who came in as well you know for a hefty pinney you know about two seasons ago and then you have to look at alexa sanchez he's causing a lot of money he's getting you know it's a four hundred thousand a week or something and part of those areas so he's going to have to be productive you know but that's the plan the mission this team you know is destined to go further they have the team in place and then it's rumored even brought him of it's training so if he comes back maybe he gives them

a little extra boost forward ok moving on to the other game we got chuck todd done nest beating right two one do you think the ukrainian side has what it takes to finish the job and go through it's going to come down to the away goal situation because they did come from behind which says a lot but they are at home and they're a team that eats or wins or loses you know the game opened up for roma changes or gave them the lead early on but then it was comeback time by a lot of f.'s. and strangely enough. he took advantage of a defensive mistake levelling the thing then frederico fred the brazilian youngster had a free kick that was outstanding but it all comes down to see if roma who have yet to lose at home can come through and they have yet to concede so it's a tough game to call the roma slight advantage. thanks so much ok.
