darkness city's after war. starting march tenth. this is deja vu news live from berlin an attempted murder with a deadly nerve agent more clues but still no suspect in a poisoning attempt that's left an expert on his daughter and a policeman fighting for their lives despite a call for cool heads and speculation swirls of brush up was behind the attack also coming out of the danish inventor peter madsen goes on trial for killing journalist jim wallace in his summary prosecutors say madison plantar murder. also coming out

of its international women's day and look around the globe as women who are changing their world in south korea raise over sexual assault gains a voice with a me too movement without a soul for demands for accountability have toppled a politician on the rise. i'm sumi so much donna thank you for joining us british police are racing to uncover who poisoned a former russian double agent and his daughter with a nerve agent last weekend there has been speculation by top lawmakers and the media that russia is behind the attack sparking an angry denial from moscow clues have led investigators to believe that survey script ball and his daughter yulia were deliberately targeted but there are still several missing pieces to the case that's being treated as attempted murder. surrogate's cripple lived

a quiet life in the english cathedral town of salisbury this c.c.t.v. footage was captured days before the former russian spy and his daughter yulia collapsed near a shopping center. british police now say she was deliberately poisoned so having established the nerve agent is the cause of the symptoms leading us to treat this attempted murder i can also confirm that we believe the two people originally who became well were talked through specifically. scruple worked as a carnal in russia's military intelligence service in two thousand and four he was arrested for selling russian secrets to british intelligence six years later the double agent arrived in britain as part of a spy swap. russia has strongly denied any involvement in scruples poisoning just gotta be honest it's difficult to evaluate this story as anything other than

provocative media allegations intended to further exacerbate relations between our countries solution but london has threatened a robust response if the trail of the poison leads back to moscow that if this does turn out to be in any way. the result of hostile activity by another government or directed led by another government. then the people of this country can be absolutely sure that the u.k. will respond robustly no details about the nerve agents have been released but experts say this kind of substance is difficult to produce and not available to the general public some areas of salisbury are still cordoned off the first police officer on the scene is now in serious condition in hospital. and for more on the story we can talk to journalist abigail simon route in london hi i have a gal for us up to date on our service to get power and also his daughter and the

policeman who was affected as well what is their condition so we're hearing this morning is that all three are in comas and there is great concern that this crippled condition is the most severe sources told the times newspaper that they hope that his daughter you know will pull through and the policeman condition this is the policeman who treated them at the scene on sunday in salt great his condition is thought to be less severe but actually all three are in a very precarious position and i think it's very significant lead and what are police saying about the nerve agent that was used as that hack and who could be behind it. well the very fact that the tool metal nerve agent does suggests i mean these are sophisticated chemicals to manufacture it would take a great deal of expertise and resources to be able to manufacture these this is not some kind of anything that a criminal or could could do at home so this is

a gesture and it does point to this thing state involvement by sophisticated. so and the fact that they're now using words like this an intent to murder unscrupulous daughter talked in specifically is very significant also the suggestion is that must be a fairly unusual legend because if they can police tweeting to identify it. what about the speculation that's been swirling in media about russia's involvement and a possible motive there would have authorities been saying about that so the british government is anxious not to jump to conclusions and to exacerbate tensions . and the road yesterday was saying that we need to have the full facts which certainly contrasted the tone taken by the foreign secretary going to junction that are you for. increasing the because nerve agent has now been identified by police. that is where people's minds are going that you know if there's any state behind

this then russia have the resources and a possible motive however until they identify. which nerve agent was used that could hold details of which state might be behind it and even which laboratory might manufactured it or a journalist out of the frame and routes with the very latest for us from london thank you. and now a savvy reporter who traveled around the world to allegedly murdered close to home the trial starts a dead mark today for the man accused of killing swedish journalist kim wall she planned to profile adventure peter madsen on board his homemade submarine last summer but she never returned madsen denies killing her but has admitted to dismembering wall before dumping her body parts in the sea. it's one of the most gruesome murder trials ever to take place at copenhagen city court inventor peter manson is due to take the stand here charged with killing.

in these rooms thirty seven witnesses will testify that's huge interest from global media with more than one hundred journalists following proceedings it won't be easy listening. prosecutors say the swedish journalist ken wall died under horrific circumstances. mattson invited her to interview him on his private submarine the north. these pictures such as show the vessel leaving ports last august the indictment says matson had planned the murder because he took a saw a knives with him the next day the submarine sank police think deliberately only mattson was on board and he was rescued on harmed i'm fine. obviously. it was unfortunate but oh well. first matson told police he dropped off an island

but then he changed his story saying she died in an accident and he buried her at sea he still denies killing her. late was mutilated torso washed ashore and divers pulled her body parts from the sea. blood was found in the recovered submarine. it's here but investigators say in months and caught and stop the war before killing and dismembering. the nautilus is now wraps up but the trial is only just beginning prosecutions one months and jailed for life for so brutal a crime the verdict is expected at the end of april. now to some other stories making news around the world syrian government forces have seized half of the territory held by rebels in the damascus suburb of eastern around four hundred thousand people are believed to be trapped in the area as

russian backed troops intensify their assault the un has urged all parties to about abide by a cease fire and an aid convoy bound for has been postponed. japan's chief nuclear regulator says the two thousand and eleven fukushima disaster isn't over radioactive waste is still being removed from the three crippled reactors a hugely challenging task that could take decades this weekend marks the seventh anniversary of the nuclear accident and the tsunami that cost. police in the sierra leone have quassia clashes in the capital freetown following wednesday's election tensions mounted after an opposition spokesman said authorities had come to search the party's offices without a warrant at least one person was stabbed in this form shows vote counting is ongoing with initial results expected to by friday night and saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin sama has arrived in the u.k. for an official visit but the event has sparked controversy with critics staging a protest over saudi arabia's involvement in yemen civil war it's also led to calls

in parliament for the u.k. government to take a stronger stance on human rights abuses in the kingdom. today on international women's day there are demonstrators across the world as women press the first progress south koreans are rallying to show solidarity with the movement against sexual harassment the protests come after a politician on he junk viewed as a future presidential candidate quit his post as a provincial governor after being accused of rape the government has promised to strengthen laws against sexual assault and implement new measures in an attempt to tackle harassment and abuse. and let's go right to seoul we have gen moon with us chief correspondent from our iran t.v. hi jon so there are demonstrations going on right now what more can you tell us well thousands of women here in south korea have taken to the streets this march eighth international women's day carrying signs stop sexual violence now this has

been made possible because female workers across the nation have called for all women to take an early leave from work today at three pm the first time since massive protests have taken place on this particular issue in this highly pincher arco computer society here in korea general for us now from south korea on the need to movement there thank you very much. you're watching d.w. news still to come think germany can dance away with the prize for women's equality we have a quiz that might make you think twice. but first despite international anchor donald trump's a trade strategy a look set to move forward helena the question is could this be the firing guns at the start of the trade war sunni because just a week off to donald trump announced those plans for new trade tariffs on imported oil and even steel the u.s. president is reportedly set to sign off on them this afternoon now that take effect within a month canada or mexico could be exempt but not the european union in brussels

announced yesterday that is poised to strike back in what could be the beginning of tit for tat. donald trump's tariffs could soon drive up the price of imported steel and aluminum in the u.s. but with talks underway to renegotiate the north american free trade agreement the white house now says its neighbors might not be included. and there are potential carve outs for mexico and canada based on national security and possibly other countries as well and if that's a sign the nafta talks may be going trumps way other u.s. allies have so far been restrained in their response the european union has threatened to retaliate by slapping tariffs on a number of iconic american products like motorbikes and whiskey that don't account for a huge share of transatlantic trade meanwhile trump's democratic rivals have warned against the danger of a trade war saying he should focus is energies on where the trade deficit is biggest the president's instincts to go after china are correct but the policy

proposes doesn't fit the bill it's not well targeted it's not precise and as a result it could cause a mess of collateral damage that hurts america more than it helps. a more subtle approach levying the tariffs provide some hope to european steel producers they're worried about a major upheaval in the pricing structure of their most important market and a potential flood of cheap steel from china that is no longer going to the u.s. . let's get more on this now with our financial correspondent. in frankfurt for us to know with us tires essentially being signed off on today are investors that concerned about that. well it would seem that markets are seeking comfort where they can find it we've seen asian stocks firm up on the news that there could be some exceptions within this new tire for g.m. and the dax here in germany seems to have

a fall that followed suit opening with small gains today but of course none of that translates into a big sigh of relief for the markets at all this is still not good news now if the if we're still talking about the kind of tariffs of course that could inspire retaliatory measures back and forth where the way out would be unclear now theoretically countries could get the world trade organization involved and see what the united states but historically that's usually a protracted and long process and an uncomfortable wait for an uncertain outcome is a prospect that not many countries will find attractive so that's what investors will be watching out for a proclamation on tariffs to come out of the white house today that may or may not come however of this being the trump white house even that is unclear the e.c.b. is meeting today we were expecting to hear about interest rates but with the prospect of a trade will do you think that they will say something about. a policy outlook and

a rate decision is expected early this afternoon but all this talk of tariffs of course has many observers expecting a light touch from e.c.v. chief mario draghi and you know he already has a lot on his mind yes to think about this moving trade war the fact that anti-establishment parties in italy made a strong showing in the elections and the fact that the inflation that we have now is still a way away from the just below two percent target were aiming for now that's what he has to face the some more hawkish elements from the governing council that would like to see and to stimulus more quickly and investors will be watching closely if they if those elements have won any concessions at all and where. thank you very much. well launches demonstrations and rallies are kicking off around the world tomorrow international women's day one of the most pressing issues for women today is the persistent gender pay gap according to the european statistics office germany has one of the highest gender pay gap in the e.u.

taken as a whole women in the german workforce almost twenty two percent less than men women leaving in the e.u. and sixteen point two percent less than men on average while the city has one of the smallest pay gaps at five point three percent. women watching might want to ask if they have been paid the same as their male counterparts if not they should ask for a series that's right home and maybe today is a really good day to do that as well as we said it is international women's day an annual event celebrating women's achievements and pushes towards gender equality and this year's theme is hash tag press for progress here again we're setting our own women's day agenda including a little quiz about women's rights here in germany. sebastian down by the fallen russian fleet stood in households a field by the mob adding him and am i not allowed to. miss it i told him to. present your chance nine simple not sponsor you so much and.

there's a good times you know stephen said please none series of oh oh my book you mention you do indeed says yeah but. since when is rape and a marriage punishable in germany so i could see it so listen. to me have a. bottle of beer. who hope. to show us a sense was national council wants to know and. trust justice will be done so this doesn't. have a bit to some modest donbas to i'll. not have demanded it and yet signal from temple bottom up. temple.

like some from seattle a chemist and friend. started my comments on my attitude after i. was of them. all. i was soon on all of us who did. all those. houses in tokyo and all those little shrimp you can use to try. to cut. costs by monday. just about. when the enemy i'm up with i wasn't just looking for the smooth polish on control measures but because. with. now in honor of international women's day it was profiling women around the globe who are working to change their societies progress has been made in many areas it often looking at milestones also illustrates how

much more is needed to reach levels of equality and break down gender stereotypes so now let's meet yulia borat says she's a carpenter in moscow but it's one of the hundreds of jobs women are legally barred from holding there because it's considered too dangerous or too arduous and this isn't a vestige of a bygone era and update the resolution was passed in two thousand under president vladimir putin. caught up with yulia and her business partner. a passion for power tools is hardly a crime but in russia this repair and remodeling business is officially illegal because you and nadia run it and there are women in russia women are banned for more than four hundred fifty jobs they're considered too dangerous carpentry plumbing and electrical work are on the list. also legally off limits for women at work lifting more than ten kilos more than twice an hour and nadia are pushing back

against these laws found against gender stereotypes this is. people only very rarely react well to especially men people don't say it's great that you do that they usually incredulous or they just loff they react negatively. in that gender roles are deeply entrenched and russia and russian law and forces that apparently doing too much heavy lifting at work can harm a woman's health and also harm her so-called child bearing function. protecting women and their reproductive organs from dangerous work is a remnant from post-war soviet russia when the government wanted to increase the birth rate but the latest list of banned professions was passed in two thousand and many russians still approve of its spirit. or. existence of a family that's men's work. for

a long long time and while hundreds of those women go to the home office. women probably can't carry railway ties and men would probably find it hard to knit or do embroidery so everyone has their role. there were to most emerge. from the center for social and labor rights in moscow the list of banned women's professions is outdated and discriminatory. there's no distinct not so new to profusely new stylist of professions needs to be reviewed to see if they're dangerous nowadays. and if the working conditions are dangerous then they would have just as negative an effect on men as on women this law treats women and men differently. when you're with gnashing emotion. and

nadia changing attitudes to gender is as important as renovating apartments they make a point of only working for women and of treating their clients as if. it would have come time as a client will say that's interesting that's probably hard we tell her grab the wrench and don't pull it too tight and often our clients end up helping with the repair as of course we don't charge them. unlike when i have worked with men not to join you the i treat me as an equal and they actually listen to what i want. instead of sticking to russian labor laws and not hope to expand their business hire other women and put such work within the reach of a new generation. now many people here in europe have been struck by a time consuming problem they've noticed our clocks have been lagging behind the last few weeks six minutes to be exact that's because digital clocks haven't been

sinking correctly our next report will tell you why. stolen time clocks are running slowly in many homes some have lost more than six minutes as the world ends in the time warp. and i don't even see unfortunately clocks are losing time so people are turning up late to appointments they're leaving home late and missing their busses it's mostly clock radios that are affected and clocks eleven's they're part of a europe why electricity network would normally operate sort of steady synchronized frequency as a bones in our kitchen and in the living room we have two clocks and one is running ten minutes behind the other. the reason for the slowdown is a dispute between serbia and kosovo it means there's not enough electricity being pumped into the network so the frequency is reduced result clock radio slowdown. normally they operate at a frequency of fifty hertz. the reason the clocks have gone

wrong is that the frequency is full and you can see it going down a bit no to the german road system a radio controlled so the great clock slow to be used as a cover for late trains but could be worse consequences this kind of you haven't got so i could always be a power failure of course such as when a generating station breaks down but then the network can draw power from other countries so customers don't have to worry. about showing the right time it's not by someone in the offices it's just expensive. so there's no need to get a new plug simply adjust the old one and enjoy a soothing night's sleep before that hateful device screams you're awake in the morning. right in the champions league last night event has produced a resilient performance against tottenham to progress to the quarter finals

tottenham took an early lead through human song and look to be on their way to victory but inventus turned the tie on its head in the second half gonzalo higuaín equalized in the sixty fourth minute and paolo di bella netted just three months later minutes later rather than to give you went for the two one victory they went through to the next round four three on aggregate. now an all girls football team is given by the indian refugees a ray of hope in the largest refugee camp in the democratic republic of congo the morning star squad has precious few resources but that hasn't dampened the enthusiasm of all the players. the morning star. these young girls were forced to flee burundi in twenty fifteen but have discovered a love of football in their to march was lives now in the democratic republic of congo they have formed an all girls football team in the us and the refugee camp.

we forget we are refugees when we are playing we could be anywhere in the world. despite lacking football boots or even their own bar the girls are making the most of what they have. we are the best football team in this camp everyone has their own style of playing and their own nicknames. this is louis auroras that is packed a. business are actually on the severe lack of funds the girls rely on volunteers coach and fellow refugee eric intend is their biggest fan there aren't any means to play football here i'd like to see the girls be encouraged to play and to have the equipment they need to play sports. refugees continued to face hardships in neighboring countries the morning stars provide a glimmer of hope and the girls have big ambitions as well. as seeing

you nando here that they are refugees playing in the olympics that is our dream. parindey has never sent a football team to the olympics with passion and dedication this morning stars are determined to make history. thanks for watching don't forget you can go to our web site www dot com for all the latest news and information around the clock or follow us on twitter our handle at g.w. news we'll be back at the top of the hour.
