darkness city's. starting march tenth. visited all we do is live from berlin german cities told that they can patent diesel cars to reduce air pollution today's court ruling is a victory for environmentalist but a huge blow for the car industry and for the millions of motorists who may not be allowed to use that comes also on the program full scale fighting resumes in eastern africa temperature humanitarian workers say they have been unable to

deliver aid and that no civilians were able to leave. have in the bundesliga goldman star marco royce and dropped an early goal against i was berg but it wasn't enough. i'm phil gale welcome to the program it's a decision that threatens to cause huge disruption one of germany's top courts has ruled that cities are allowed to ban diesel cars from mistreats to cut pollution environmentalists have been calling for a ban for years because of the harm diesel emissions do to human health today they're claiming victory but the move could prove costly for the country's car industry it could also mean that millions of diesel owners and own longer allowed to drive their cars. at the moment most vehicles may be driven in germany cities regardless of what engine they have but following today's ruling cities with high

levels of air pollution could up to all but the most modern diesel engines a clear. victory for the environmental group that initiated the legal action. today is a great day for clean air in germany we have fought for clean air for people in cities. for years the legal thresholds for air pollution have been surpassed in many german cities the nitrogen oxides emitted mainly by diesel cars are highly damaging to people's health the german government says the fumes are implicated in six thousand early deaths every year so many germans support a ban on the wonderful it's about time for the city center to just be made car free that would be super for man the things immediately there dirty water many diesel owners no fear they will no longer be able to drive in urban areas of the fifteen million diesel cars in germany the ban could affect some nine million many trucks

and delivery vehicles could also be banned. list you got there he would have to shut down right away we cannot transport our goods by street car the german government is keen to prevent driving bans. trying to calm nerves and said cities will receive help to combat air pollution it's good i insisted this applies to individual cities where more needs to be done but this really does not affect the whole of germany or all car owners in germany i think it's important to make that clear today. there's still one way to prevent driving bans auto manufacturers could retrofit their diesel engines to make them cleaner experts say that is possible the costs might be high but the alternative could be millions of angry customers not an attractive option for germany's carmakers either. rush. or people in polluted

cities. this means clean air and bill have better quality from next months on because it'll start out in september october of this year so for a lot of steel these. are not allowed to enter the city is this year and a big group five. eagles will be burnt next year. so that's a huge how destry has no it do to help people because they sold the towers if jaromir it's in the minds of friendly it's for climate and it's for activity and it was cheating cowan street was cheating there because the home base sold about nine million euro five you thinks the. earth also liberal asian only in the lab situation but not in reality in average when you are six times

more poisoning the city has been allowed and this is a reason by the highest court no total stock that is last would be banned and they have to stop now and so what do you say so those bad people who run businesses and perhaps people who own a small older things all vehicles who say well we i can't afford to buy a new car and now my business will go out and now i will go out of business. no you have to have these people because they didn't know you about the quality of the cheating of encounters and. was very intelligent i think compromise if but your five powers have. done more months most trance plot vehicles or businesses are i were you five or you were six

so we don't have to solve the problem. but congress really has to start immediately . to give me her interrupting you know certain just just so i'm clear you're as far as you are concerned this is the responsibility of the car industry to fix the car industry should should watch and pay pay these people money to buy new cars or to have them upgraded what should they do. both of you know what unity is and look to the united states for its. two opportunities to buy back the cheating costs or to root have a and business decision today the cow owners have a much easier of the unity to force industry i've got to retrofit because our daughters will. be also very intense this discussion now in germany also with our association urging industry to repair what they are but have they have

done its part of three hours of their own and you have to replace the. shuttle is eight hour and. it's the technical possible parent they can pay i hope the politician i got a map of the earth this moment. she is also one of those that read ok she has got it here an industry friend in politic and has to fight for people who are suffering and dying because of the poisoned arrow of these are missions ok you're going to ration from environmental action germany thank you so much for joining day doubly. but of course we'll bring you the latest reactions to this verdict business news that coming up later now to some of the other stories making news around the world and greece's economy and development minister has resigned demetrius papa dimitrios stepped down just a day after his wife left the government this followed

a public outcry when it was revealed that the wealthy couple had been claiming a substantial government subsidies while greeks continue to live under strict austerity measures. a check court has ordered the release of syrian kurdish leader salah muslim refusing turkey's request for his extradition. has detained him over the weekend and cross requests to sell a muslim denies turkey's claims that he was involved in attacks carried out on its territory. prosecutors in south korea demanding a thirty year jail term for former president park geun hay in a landmark corruption case as park was impeached for corruption last march and is facing more than a dozen criminal charges it's been held in custody for the. freezing weather stripping much of central and eastern europe with temperatures plunging to minus twenty celsius in some places even to several deaths the cold spell is it is expected to last through. syria

a truce meant to relieve the suffering of eastern guta is being ignored war planes and helicopters resumed their bombardment of the procedure rebel on play with both sides blaming the other for the collapse of the truce russia's military says shelling from rebel groups means that people can't leave used to go to the rebel factions say they have not bombed the evacuation route route or stopped people from leaving. or care international's middle east regional coordinator is martin melius he joins us from amman in jordan welcome to d.w. what are you hearing about the situation in eastern tutor. so basically after nine days of unprecedented level of facilities people are tired they're hungry they're free and we have seen hundreds of people that have perished in the bombing campaign . and we know off around twenty four have facilities that have been bombed

deliberately. and basically we had seen after that announcement on the u.n. security council we had seen like a brief lull there was a calmer night or partners were telling us in the morning that people were emerging from the shelters they were cleaning the roads to give space for the ambulances to go through there are trying to get food and water but then late in the day around lunchtime the bombing started again and then people went underground and into the basements again. it's important to remember that this was not a cease fire that was that was agreed but the series of five causes what kind of humanitarian groups achieve during five. i mean one was agreed to cite the u.n. security council resolution said there should be a. cease fire however there was a bank door that there is a prescribed groups inside he's huzzah that are kind of excluded from that

agreement and that's why these five foer truce is really really very. very little time to bring in humanitarian assistance care has been able through one of our partners today to distribute a little bit of wheat flour. to some of the people that were able to come through the distribution point but only a sleeve wasn't even five hours today it was even after three hours the bombing started again soul yeah it's not enough given the current situation so do you believe the united nations is doing enough about this situation. i mean we're calling for the implementation of the u.n. security council resolution decision. there is of course there is government terrorists that sit on the security council that have influence on the warring parties so at the moment definitely we are very much frustrated with the effort by

the u.n. and with the lack of implementation of a decision as was taken on saturday so if another decision is taken and another series of cease fires is agreed upon a people likely to trust that. i mean at the moment it's really i mean we have seen that in aleppo earlier you know if you open these humanitarian corridors. people will be very much and it's really unlikely for them to you know to come out from the shelters and try to cross what are active front lines and in an ongoing war so people will be very much reluctant and hesitant to take their families to take their children to take the elderly's through an active conflict zone that has really been relentless for the last nine days killing hundreds and injuring could could be more than a thousand people well it's in the millions from international thank you.
