happens that led to a backlash particularly from who ended up citing his young daughter saying well look dad. she apparently said that it's not all bad news you will then have to be able to spend more time with us and not the man with the head in the face now that man with the hair in the face is indeed mark i just don't see it and there was a huge backlash just not just in german politics but there was outrage that he would steep so low as many people felt to cite his own daughter he spoke about broken promises and he's a character one would say in jimmy's political landscape who is well known for being very smart very fast thinking but at the same time very temperamental and this is what i hear from everybody who's worked with him including people in the chancery and this seems to have been too much under the analysis who's destined to become the new party leader had pretty much in turn you. ruled out really working with him again and despite him lobbying very hard including pledges from.

that russia is behind the attack sparking a route between the u.k. and moscow investigators are treating the case as attempted murder but much still remains unknown about how the crime unfolded. lived a quiet life in the english cathedral town of solsbury this c.c.t.v. footage was captured days before the former russian spy and his daughter yulia collapsed in 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 a well were targeted specifically. scruple worked as a connal 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 like to 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 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 cells are still cordoned off the first police officer

on the scene is now in serious condition in hospital. the trial has opened in denmark of the man accused of killing swedish journalist kim wall wall disappeared last august after boarding a submarine belonging to the inventor peter madsen she intended to profile him but never returned her headless torso was later found in the copenhagen harbor prosecutors are seeking to have madsen jailed for life he denies murder but has admitted to dismembering walls body before dumping her body parts at sea her killings shocked the world prosecutors say swedish journalist ken wall died under her retic circumstances. inventor peter madsen invited her to interview him on his private submarine the nautilus in august last year these pictures are said to show the vessel leaving port the indictment says madsen had planned the murder because he took a saw and naives with him the next day the submarine sank police think deliberately

only matson was on board and he was rescued on harmed i'm following a bill so obviously seeing nautilus go down was unfortunate but oh well the first months and told police he dropped fall off a denial and then he changed his story saying she died in an accident and he'd buried her it seems he still denies killing her. later walls mutilated torso washed ashore and divers pulled her body parts from the sea her blood was find in the recovered submarine it's here that investigators see manson cuts and stopped wall before killing and dismembering her the nautilus is now wrapped up but the trial is only just beginning prosecutors want months and jailed for life for so brutal the crying the very date is expected at the end of april. and today on international women's day there are demonstrations across the world as

women press for progress protesters in spain got an early start launching a twenty four hour women's strike there demanding an end to unfair wages the message violence and the country's prevailing macho culture and south koreans are rallying to show solidarity with the need to movement against sexual harassment the protests come after a politician on he junk who was viewed as a future presidential candidate quit his post as a provincial governor after being accused of rape and let's go right to seoul we have jen moon with us chief correspondent from our iran t.v. hi john 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 armed as 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 on winning to take an early leave from work today at three pm local time some women

activists groups are handing out white roses which symbolizes stop sexual violence and that women are wearing black and her whole marching this is really the first time such massive protests have taken place on this particular issue in this highly pincher arctic cold. fusion society here in korea general and for us now from south korea on the me too movement there thank you very much jan now it takes courage to race down a mountain on skis but it takes a lot more when you're almost blind like noemi risto the twenty six year old will be competing in all five alpine disciplines at the paralympic winter games and kyung chang that start tomorrow our reporter joined her as she carried out some final practice here at home in germany. training for the paralympic winter games in pyongyang a new enemy of the stow is severely visually impaired without her guide lucianne who skis in front of her twenty six year old would not be able to tackle the slopes despite all her courage. and his own chances when the sun is shining i can't see

anything when it's shady during the slalom or giant slalom i can see lucy he has a bright colored suit and skis in front of me i can make him out from time to time but i can't just follow him in a focused way that's impossible. that's why she doesn't just follow lucy but is also connected to him via radio with less than two percent vision noaimi sees the downhill run something like this. yeah. but it's more like a shadow passing by me. it is the most important thing about new amy and that's what makes us fast and if she dares to do more. together. i know amy has been skiing since she was three when she reached puberty she gradually lost her sight due to a hereditary illness she didn't lose her courage and it takes

a lot of it to go down a ski slope in flight at the paralympics she'll be competing in disciplines downhill slalom giant slalom super g. and combination. just like she did at this season's world cup which was a big success for her. every discipline so i think i've got a chance to win a medal. this saturday. will have. to do so in the downhill visually impaired. so many people here in europe have been struck by a time consuming problem they've noticed their clocks have been lagging behind the last few weeks six minutes to be exact that's because digital clocks haven't been thinking correctly two baltic nations that ticked off at each other maybe behind the slowdown as their disputes affected europe's power grid. whose stolen time

clocks are running slowly in many homes some have lost more than six minutes as the world ends of the time warp. unfortunately clocks are losing time so people are turning up late to appointments they're leaving home late and missing their buses it's mostly clock radios that are affected and clocks eleven's they're part of a europe wide electricity network that normally operate sort of steady synchronize frequency that has about one 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 i'm dependent. so the perfect excuse for the bitch. across europe trusty timepieces are just plain wrong fortunately the clocks of the german railway system a radio controlled so the great slowed used as a cover for trains but the worst consequences. 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. showing the right time is. one. so there's no need to get a new clock simply adjust the old one and enjoy a soothing night's sleep before that hateful device screams you awake in the morning. ok we just have time for a minder of our top story german foreign minister has announced he will not be

included in. the new coalition government. push. his party the social democrats. thanks for watching. we'll have an update on your headlines coming up at the top of the hour. that. information. for us. facebook and twitter are up to date.
