a spy swap deal in two thousand and ten authorities have confirmed that two people a man and a woman were found unconscious sunday on a park bench in the southern city of salzburg. a crime scene that could be straight from a bond movie. police don't hazmat suits as they decontaminate the street where the former russian spy surrogates group pal and a woman had collapsed the substance that has made them critically ill hasn't been identified. the treating it as a major incident and have even close to a nearby restaurant as a precaution apos of buying said it looked like the pan had taken drugs. on the bench that was a couple. an older guy and a younger go she was sort of let in on him it looked like she passed out maybe he was doing some strange hand movements looking up to the sky. i thought i'm just i

felt like i should step in but to be honest they looked so outfit i thought even if i did step in i wasn't sure how i could how emergency services rushed those people to soulsby hospital where they remain in intensive care police and also guarding the former spy's home as the investigation continues. this has not been declared as a counterterrorism incident and we would urge people not to speculate. however i must emphasize that we retain an open mind and we continue to review this position the focus at this moment in trying to establish what has caused these people to become critically ill and we are working with partners to prioritise this diagnosis . sixty six year old sergey screen pal was granted refuge in the u.k. after spy swap in two thousand and ten peepin sentenced in russia to thirteen years

in prison for spying for britain gets more on the story from our moscow correspondent erin tilton what can you tell us about sergei script paul the former russian agent who has taken ill in britain. well what we know about mr st paul so far is that he was a former member of russians of russians g.r.u. secret intelligence service now the g.r.u. is the military branch of russia's intelligence service some initial reports that indicated he may have been a member of the f.s.b. the federal security service that took over from the k.g.b. after the fall of the soviet union but it does appear he was a member of the military intelligence service now we know the russian government accused him of being a double agent for british secret service a secret intelligence services and he was actually convicted of turning over information regarding the identities of dozens of agents working abroad to british

intelligence services now of course he was sentenced by the military courts to several years in prison for his work for british intelligence services and he served several years of that sentence now we do know in two thousand and ten he was exchanged as part of a spike exchange with western powers that spice change actually rather notably involved and chapman who was the russian sleeper agent who gained rather infamy after it was discovered that she living monogamously in the u.s. now in. contradiction to some of the other or actually it is difference to some of the other birth russian agents who had gone to britain i'm sorry description mr paul i should say actually rather lived a rather low key life and tried to home of void the limelight to a large extent now this story of sergei script all falling ill in britain not a park bench is making international headlines today is it getting attention in russia. well so far the official reaction has been

rather muted you haven't seen it in the social statements coming out of the kremlin so far that's not too surprising this news story broke rather late last night and also in similar incidents that have come in the past the kremlin tends to try to play the long game and doesn't asli react to the events. that lead now in terms of the media reaction we have seen some reporting from newspapers in opposition to his sources but there hasn't been a large media echo in terms of the t.v. channels that words is actually the main source of news for the vast majority of russians and thanks so much in moscow correspondent erin tilton there thank you now another step towards improved relations on the korean peninsula north korean leader kim jong un has welcomed delegates from the south to kill and yank for the first time since he took office in two thousand and eleven north korea released the images of the country's leader with the south korean negotiators it's

the highest level south korean delegation to visit the north in more than a decade the visit is aimed at easing a standoff over north korea's nuclear ambitions un has described the visit as a positive move secretary general is knocked. it is for seoul encouraged i think by the trip today to pyongyang to direct talks. that are taking place. we have to see what the outcome is obviously the focus needs to remain on their denuclearize ation the peaceful denuclearize ation of the korean peninsula i think more let's bring in our our correspondent in seoul jason strother jason tell us more about this meeting between kim jong un and the south korean delegation what are the two sides saying about. well we don't know the specifics yet the south korean envoy will return here to seoul later today and

hopefully have a press briefing to let us know what was discussed up and john young but if we are to trust north korean media the talks went smashingly the case c.n.a. north korea's central news agency said that kim jong un ruler kim jong un and the south korean envoys have reached. an agreement on how to move a potential summit between kim and south korean president moon j.n. ahead the dispatch from north korean media said that ruler cam gave some on the spot guidance to the south korean envoys and they're working out the details but will have to wait and see until these envoys get back home to get a little bit more more clear information but we're hearing reports jason that a full fledged diplomatic summit could soon be organized between the north and south has that now become a more likely prospect. well you know ever since president moon

came into the presidency a little less than a year ago he has called for better relations with north korea e.-s. said that he'd be willing to meet with the ruler kim jong il. when he wasn't quite as fun young last month by kim jong il and sister kim yell john goring the opening ceremony of the come chung winter olympics movement took a step back and says that some conditions would have to be met first and those are the conditions we can presume are being worked out right now in north korea and the south wants the north to talk directly to the u.s. about easing tensions one of the prospects of that happening. right well you know both north korea and u.s. are sitting very far apart from each other right now the trumpet ministration has

said that it will not engage in negotiations with pyongyang unless the regime is committed to denuclearization meanwhile north korea has said while it's willing to hold dialogue with the u.s. it's not going to get rid of its nukes so unless some sort of compromise is reached i don't see how negotiations could go ahead right now jason briefly the north korean u.s. north korean monitoring group called thirty eight north says it's detected signs of renewed activity at north korea's main nuclear reactor what can you tell us about that what does that mean well it's hard to say i mean the route that the report from thirty eight north said it detected by a commercial satellite imagery plumes of smoke coming out of the young beyond a five megawatt reactor although some other indicators of. plutonium production were not present such as the melting of ice in the facility of the young beyond

real so it's still too early to tell if it's moving and jason thanks so much correspondent jason strother there talking to us from seoul say look at some other stories making headlines around the world today officials in the u.s. state of florida a bill to create new restrictions on life will sales and to allow some stitches to carry guns in schools the move comes in response to a deadly school shooting in the state last month a senior u.n. official has said myanmar's ethnic cleansing ever hinge on muslims was on going after revisited refugee camps and bangladesh's caulks bazaar district hundreds of thousands of the hinge a have fled to bangladesh since last august when myanmar forces launched a crackdown on their community. and japan has appointed its first female commander of a navy squadron in salute aimed at encouraging more women to join the country's self-defense

forces real co was inaugurated into her new role on board japan's largest warship she'll be commanding a squadron of one thousand which only thirty are with syria and the international red cross says a convoy carrying aid eastern ghouta has withdrawn after unloading only part of its contents and ongoing assault forced them to pull back at least sixty eight civilians were killed in airstrikes on monday as syrian government troops move to seize more ground four hundred thousand people remain trapped in eastern. after weeks of waiting a glimmer of hope for the sick unmuted of eastern. for the first time since the start of one of the war's deadliest to so aid trucks of fun they've been let in but the united nations say syrian authorities have stripped crucial life saving medical

supplies from the convoy. and confident a convoy isn't sufficient supplies for seventy thousand people were reduced to under twenty eight thousand people. some are sitting on almost. the crippling siege has left civilians stranded as syrian forces expand their assault undeterred by the international outcry the un backed ceasefire has been largely ignored as president bashar al assad's forces advance into the last major rebel held territory near damascus and. come up with a lead and about i see no conflict between the truce and the military operation it's all recent advances occurred during the cease fire as i said it is possible to achieve all humanitarian objectives while striking the terrorists we therefore have to continue our operations while allowing civilians to leave government controlled areas. but

hundreds of thousands of civilians remain trapped in the enclave and made pleas for an end to the brutal bombardment despite an agreement for peaceful aid delivery there's been reports of shelling new the crossing into ghouta. more now we're joined by alan mcdonald he's from save the children and joins us from the jordanian capital amman the red cross has finally managed to get an aid convoy into eastern ghouta how significant is this. well it's a very good step and miss the first aid convoy in many weeks and it's put intrude for thousands of people but it is only a small step it's a small amount of food that will last a few weeks for a fraction of the population inside there are more than three hundred fifty thousand people that say and three for twenty eight thousand this is very welcome but it is certainly a drop in the ocean it's also extremely worrying extremely concerning. the

medical a lot of the medical supplies were taken off and there are thousands of sick or injured children and other civilians in insides who desperately need treatments whether they've been. bombed in the last few weeks or all previously or with the suffering from long term illnesses. and they need this treatment as a matter of life or death in many cases and the way we've spoken to a lot of doctors in eastern goods who have to. they have to use bandages and needles and basic equipment several times on different patients you know despite the dangers just because they don't have enough supplies is really extremely crucial and that gets him how likely is it that more aid convoys will manage to get into eastern. i think it depends on the security situation

and. the cease fire that was announced by the u.n. security council last week is not has not held there were a few days where it got the answer that yesterday was. the worst day of civilians in terms of shelling and deaths that we've seen since that announcement so the fighting is ongoing they did the convoy that came in yesterday had to turn around and will finish early because there was so much shelling going on they really depends on the security situation aren't partners from save the children. who are inside have managed to do by one distribution of. winter clothes and blankets for people in shelters but it was very very small it was just for a few hundred people and. the distributions that they have planned had to be canceled because of the bombing and shelling that's still going on. thank you very much for talking to us i was in mcdonald there from

a save the children in the jordanian capital amman turning now to us for president says he made this it israel to attend the opening of the new american embassy in jerusalem in may trump was speaking during talks with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu at the white house the two went out of their way to put on a united front. a friendly welcome for the israeli prime minister in washington from a u.s. president who sees eye to eye with him on the middle east and believes the chances for peace a good what better if we could make peace between israel and the palestinians and i can tell you we're working very hard on doing that and i think we have a very good chance and the the biggest difficulty that anybody said you look over twenty five years nobody could get past number one gerosa they couldn't get past that we've taken it off the table so this gives us a real opportunity to do peace but troops move to relocate the u.s.

embassy to jerusalem has a groove a two tensions with palestinians and many others in the region reacting angrily to last december's decision. in the oval office netanyahu praised the move and repeated his view that iran is the greatest threat to regional security iran has not given up its nuclear ambitions it is came out of this nuclear deal in boulder and rich this practicing aggression that we were putting on our own borders. and i think we we have to stop this country good chance to if you go to america iran must be stopped that is a common. talks between the two leaders focused on concerns of iran's activities in syria and on trump's push to change or abandon the twenty fifty nuclear deal with tehran. our correspondent

coston phenomenons says netanyahu stripped washington provides some respite from the problems he's facing back in israel. for benjamin netanyahu his visit to washington is a welcome distraction from his problem spec home it gives the israeli prime minister the chance to show that he is still an important player on the international stage after his meeting with president trump in the oval office he will give the major speech at the big conference of america's pro israel lobby where he's expected to once again celebrate the decision to move the u.s. embassy in israel to jerusalem and to call on israel's supporters in the united states to get tougher with iran netanyahu supports president trumps demands to either change or script iran's nuclear deal restrict iran's missile program and counter iranian meddling in various countries in the middle east positions that will certainly get a lot of applause here in washington and in israel or washington correspondent

carson for now and they're talking to us a little earlier. well trump's talk of imposing punitive tariffs is facing increasing opposition not just from international trade partners but from influential members of his own republican party and strata everything rather public confrontation house speaker paul ryan and other republican allies of president on all pleaded with him monday to back away from his threat and international terrorists which they fear could spark a dangerous trade war republican congressional leaders even suggest that they may attempt to block the terrorists the trump remains adamant and towards it's not backing down meanwhile pressure from international trade partners is growing to specially the to steal an element in producing enough the part as mexico and canada are now hoping that a new free trade agreement well exempt them from crimes tyrus other international partners to react in kind. donald trump says he's not backing down on his

push to impose tariffs directing his attention to neighboring countries mexico and canada in particular tweezing tariffs on steel and aluminum will only come off if a new and fair enough to agreement is signed also canada must treat our farmers much better but some officials in canada maintain imposing tariffs will ultimately hearth us it's self. it's the american market that will absorb the turrets impose tariffs on our construction company and does a result the price of houses went up in the united states they impose tariffs on metals so as a result the price of anything made from metal will go up in the us american consumers and industries will be the ones to pay for this type of policy which is never very successful this approach never works very well. so the question french

president among you and michael has called for collective action on the european level. unilateral measures that are against international trade principles carries with it the risk of nationalism in search of short term solutions which in my eyes is never good i believe it's important for the european union to react quickly within the framework of the w t o and in a proportionate manner. to get a position put up the funds but trump is adamant that the united states has got the wrong end of trade deals american companies continue to lose out. the head of japanese dealmaker coby announced his resignation on tuesday after the firm submitted full strength and quality data for products shipped to hundreds of clients worldwide heroic of us uk his resignation was a further blow to japan's corporate but few taishan after similar quality controls donal's had hit industrial titans ranging from nissan to me to be she the fake

colleges if you care it's issued by cobie affected materials sold to some of japan's biggest manufacturers including comic a studio to hold on mazda as well as bullet train operators jr talk high and jr west. yota says it will stop selling these old cars in europe and will begin to phase them out this year just last week diesels were dealt a new blow in germany when a court said cities could ban them that decision came in response to a lawsuit from an environmental group that has long standing financial ties to toyota the japanese maker so far fewer diesels than most of its rivals last year counting phone knew about fifteen percent of its sales to it has been pushing its hybrid cars as a target. and as whalen's are fleeing of the economic crisis and they're creating problems for neighboring colombia terry that's right

colombia is facing one of the world's biggest and least talked about migration crises more than half a million venezuela's have crossed the colombian border fleeing a political crisis and pull poverty at home colombia's government has tightened the border and warned venezuelan immigrants could destabilize the country w.'s affiliate rooty sent us this report from bogota. last april was is one of the busiest bus stations in bogota every day dozens of venezuelans gather here to eat talk or simply enjoy each other's company most came to bogota on their own leaving family and friends back our. but then when you have what you little boys twins that are four years old just imagine that staying in venezuela would have meant letting us all starve i suffer from hypertension and it wasn't easy to get my medication in. the mail and now

sells candy inside the so-called trans millenia abbas's which you can jump on and off with just a single ticket that yes i'm another venezuelan who came to this country to try and move on i know this is annoying for you because there are lots of us here majella is trying to sell enough of these chocolate bars to pay for her boys birthday party back home so she won't be able to be there herself. and she isn't the only one selling chocolate engelberg is twenty years old and arrived in colombia a month ago he feels embarrassed but needs to some at least two boxes of chocolate a day to make ends meet. i work for an entire year to gather the money to come here i was studying computer engineering but i had to migrate because of the situation i'm here trying to help my parents from what i hear and i send them at least thirty thousand colombian pesos a week. that's about ten dollars in venice well

a lot of money but here in colombia you can barely feed a family for a day the locals working outside the official system are finding it hard to share their customers with hundreds of new competitors. my income is not the same anymore we used to make seventy eighty thousand that we barely make thirty. or twenty we have to find something else. because. the colombian economy has struggled over the last four years with oil prices dropping on the international market this has led to rising unemployment and ever more people working outside the system. depending on how you look at it about fifty percent of the colombian labor market is informal that is outside the official sector. and venezuelans are coming in. with different types of informal businesses. especially on the streets and with entertainment activities.

they do jobs that don't require special permission or bureaucratic processes and this is how do you like in the financial sector or commercial business. no one knows exactly how many of the venezuelans here plan to stay some site about one hundred thousand into colombia every month that could mean over a million by the end of the year and this means not only instability for the unprepared colombian economy but also the threat of a major humanitarian crisis. just remind her of the top story we're following for you today a former russian spy is critically ill after being exposed to an unknown substance in england. a park bench in salzburg. convicted of treason in russia twelve years ago. news for now thanks watch.
