11:07 am
aren't waiting and so we have to start with our government governmental work really fast that's right it's been almost half years since the german elections and only today is the coalition agreement finally being signed do you think this new government is starting its job a big vacant by all the bickering that took place in all these months and let's be honest and the parties reluctant to work together i believe there are very interested persons for called for ministers now and i believe they will work together very very good and this is coalition for four years and we have a coalition agreement that stilling with a lot of very very important topics the future of europe the digitalisation of our society bringing more money also to the families in germany so i believe we have a lot to do and that will be a good government one of the fifteen issues for the new government will be as has been with the previous government is

european countries including germany the far right f.t. party is on the single largest opposition party the german parliament how much pressure do you think the c.d.u. will be to move further towards the right to wean away support from the f.t. i believe a lot of the voters that voted for the. national election are not satisfied with the refugee policy but also they want to reform of the european union our idea is to solve these problems and so to take back the voters from the f.t. you know one of the issues that you are also responsible for you supervise as chief of staff is a cybersecurity jimmy has a very pretty high performance technology how does it happen then that they've been several high profile cyber attacks in this country including ministries. at the moment we see that every day hundreds of cyber attacks against the network of the
11:10 am
federal government and we reject them all. in the. last week we had one. incident that was really a problematic one and we learn from the standards always a fight between defense and attack and also in the last four years we've improved on the military and sector but also in the civil sector our cyber security strategy and people go on with this like is it out of work to be done there another she would you yourself mention was digitalisation that's been a big priority for your chancellor anglo american and yet all the surveys show the job he's not doing very well even within europe as far as digitalized issue goes what do you think are the key measures needed to turn that around for the country i think that two point three we have to work out the first is we have to bring fiber to all the areas in our country and therefore we spend the biggest amount of
11:11 am
money we ever did about ten to twelve billion euros we want to spend within the period of this government for fiber and this is the one thing and the other thing is that we have to bring the digitalisation effectively to our industry and the new minister of economy will work on this to make our part of me strong even in the automotive sector and production sector where our industry is really good and to bring them really effective into the age of digital as they should suit a lot of big challenges for the new government i finally want to return to you now you know what they closely with the chancellor mechelle as a chief off stock what is expectations of you in this position as you've seen vendor stepless in this government under them act. always really strong he has a lot of ideas for the next four years and that there will be some things that

11:14 am
be interested in taking over energy but it looks like now. on a favoring a national champion here at national a german run company. car after being divvied up what will those two companies look like. well you will only have one real power producer left out of the u.a.e. it will deliver electricity made not only from renewable energies but also from nuclear coal and natural gas on the other hand you will have the on which will manage the power grids and it will manage the retail customers and many of them forty five million customers in europe whether or not this will have an impact on prices for those consumers remains to be seen it's very likely that the competition watchdogs will take a very close look at least in some of the markets we are talking about here that is

11:16 am
a trade war and what can your of do to avoid it i asked the chief economist of germany's commands from your camera if europe should prepared to fight back. i thought so one and a half weeks ago but then i found out that the european union is even more protectionist than the united states european union travis are usually higher than those imposed by the united states therefore i think a policy of retaliation is not the right approach the european union should should have to show talk to trump and indeed talk trump has offered the possibilities are to come to an agreement to come to a compromise so you use a trump has a point there do you i mean but what are the terrorists that be you could lower. for example terrorists the european union tariffs on imported costs are ten percent and compare this to the mere two point five percent of the united states i asked myself why does the european union not offer to cut its two percent cut terrorist
11:17 am
to the mia to a half percent of the united states i think this is exactly what what trump wants to see and i think this could be a solution in the dispute your claim of the commencements chief economist thank you very much for this analysis. saudi arabia is likely to delay the listing of its state owned energy company around co a british officials have told the financial times what will be the biggest i.p.o. ever was initially expected to happen this year i have a difficulties in securing the two trillion dollar value ace and saudi officials were hoping they could push the date to twenty nine t. riyadh has also yes it is side on the foreign stock exchange before the listing london new york hong kong and others are competing for the sas. and that's a business it's very tough thank you very much. we have some breaking news from
11:18 am
nippon where a passenger plane has crashed the aircraft came down when it was trying to land at port risk you crews arrived on the scene to bring the fire under control officials say they've been an unknown number of fatalities seventeen people were reportedly rescued from the wreck the plane was reportedly or to cut monday from taka and run by a u.s. airliner it was upon the dia dash eight propeller plane which can hold up to eighty passengers as and for the very latest i have on the line amanda sunless from under the capital often amanda panky you witnessed the incident unfold at the airport tell us what happened. a little bit higher than katmandu so we were sitting up on a rooftop. airplane it looked to me like it was taking off but it was
11:19 am
because i saw it as it was after it was northbound coming out of the airport so then it flew near by i saw it cart to the right so the east. and i thought for sure it was going to hit you and it wasn't in time but then i said oh yeah there it goes it started declining a little bit but about a minute later it came back around and it looked like it could come right into our little hilltop village and then the lights were on and it was very close and then it went and then looked like ok it's going to make it and it was like it was going to be just fine but visibility is very low today so once it landed then i saw one like explosion and then another one light next to it like it bounced i guess so obviously you saw in big graphic detail what exactly
11:20 am
happened but you seem to be a little distance away from the actual wreckage what are you hearing about the emergency response at the airport. well from my perspective. bird's eye view of it it was very low visibility. within just a few seconds the fire was. so i saw the explosion and then as i went to show everybody the look of it blew up the ground fire and then the by the the buildings were and they took care of it i think admirably. and the band. is meant to be one of the most difficult airports to land and take off what can you tell us about that briefly.
11:21 am
but i'm surprised the airplanes very very seldom have a problem so you know i think it's fine they do the best they can i believe in a very serious. i. am sure there will be investigations going on as to what led to this crash amanda summers thank you very much for giving us your a firsthand account off that plane crash in katmandu a new report from amnesty international says meehan maza kind state is being militarized at a rapid pace this after nearly seven hundred thousand rohingya muslims fled the region following an army crackdown that began last on this amnesty says satellite images show military bases are being built and we're talking of villages that were burned to the ground just a few months ago the group says its report is also based on eyewitness testimony hundreds of thousands of ring of have fled to neighboring bangladesh since the
11:22 am
crackdown began the un has called it a campaign of ethnic cleansing in a high end state. now for more i'm joined now by laura has she works for amnesty international and specializes in myanmar she joins me from london and all of these satellite pictures show what you're calling a land grab how can you be certain that these pictures show military structures and not other structures say like back to ration camp. well thank you for having me we've actually looked at a number of different sites for this report including these repatriation sites that the government has announced and what you can see is very clear difference in the types of buildings and structures in the repository areas and in the areas where we found these security sites where we then cross check that with interviews with people in our current state as well as people who have recently fled it's very clear that in some areas we have security force bases being built directly on to
11:23 am
beverage of images so you seem to be fairly certain that these are military bases what in your opinion is the objective of building these military bases on that location do you think. well i think it's very clear that the myanmar authorities are increasingly militarizing rock and states they see a whole range of population as a security threat and this is very much an attempt to introduce that military and security operates as but i think it also goes to show that actually they went just content with driving the right injure out of iraq and state they're actually determined to see that they don't come back how is that broken chicken return to their original places where you know what used to be the homes and fields now have security force bases on it and also as a variant if you just fled a campaign of death and destruction would you really want to come back and have those very same security forces living just next door to you and let you tell us what the situation on the ground of those doing go of not to bomb now this what are
11:24 am
you hearing about them. that the situation is just as appalling as a house being for a long time to be honest if it's not improving in any way there are still extremely tight restrictions on their freedom of movement right injure on allowed to basically leave their villages so they're confined to these areas and that's how they get a huge impact on that food security on their ability to support themselves and that families and at the same time international humanitarian access is still very very limited and restricted which is why we've also documented re-injure actually saying arriving in bangladesh just because they have been fearing starvation and the threat of further violence and. not stopping to return home because bangladeshi me and my did signed a repack creation treaty what progress has been made there. because to be honest very little to date and there's a there's a repatriation agreement that has been signed it was frankly private sure and would constitute reform science it would be illegal under international law because at
11:25 am
the moment there is no way that the very future can retire and safely and indignity to me as a witch which is what would be required for this to be an effective for a time process it's premature and it's quite clear that the very hands of themselves don't want to go when there are tons of them a minute you know just what appears to be an attempt to appease the international community and make it look like myanmar as well can bring them back with these new buildings and infrastructure and make very clear that they're not welcome right from the from amnesty international in london thank you very much for talking to us . thank you very much a bit of sport and time to look at sunday's been missing action and two teams the champions league teams going head to head dortmund with a usually home advantage based frankfurt who've proved to be strong on the road or the makings of a blunder see got through and it was. over eighty thousand packed inside technology you know park for this one early in the match american wonder kid christian policy
