a major semiconductor maker qualcomm the trump administration cited national security concerns in flushing the twenty one billion dollars hospital dead from a single core base dr bill brock. also coming up a mafia style murder shocks slovakia and strikes fear among journalists. and you can get the whole where you feel your work. and pretty much everything in life something. public anger over the killing of an investigative journalist threatens to topple. the good to have you with us britain has issued a midnight deadline for russia to explain why a deadly nerve agent developed by the soviet era military was used in the sack. the

nation attempt from here in germany a conservative ally of chancellor merkel says if russia doesn't provide answers there should be a quote joint western response the former russian spy service cripple and his daughter remain in critical condition more than a week after being found unconscious in the city of saulsbury. this is where as the prime minister puts it somebody attacked the u.k. authorities say the nerve agent was made in russia the question is who deployed it a rogue element for the russian state. mr speaker this attempted murder using a weapons grade nerve agent in a british town was not just a crime against the script miles it was an indiscriminate and reckless act against the united kingdom putting the lives of innocent civilians at risk officially moscow says it has nothing to do with the incident a russian foreign ministry spokeswoman said made a statement was a circus show put on for parliament russian state t.v.

went even further if the problem was crushing if you think about it the only ones who would benefit from the poisoning other british in order to feed the russophobia that's why you are all saw for the. people in salzburg who are near where the attack took place have been told to wash their clothes the russian ambassador will be summoned to say whether his government was responsible refuse answer fails to allay suspicions that the kremlin was behind the attack with theresa may has promised a robust response although she did not say what that would be. like it was. correspondent alex forrest whiting is following the story for us he joins us in our studios hi alex how can britain here be so certain that russia was behind this poisoning well they know that this nerve agent called not the chalk which apparently bain's new comma in russian in russian was developed in the seventy's and eighty's for the soviet military it was part of that cold war strategy and

apparently it was developed so that it couldn't be detected by the u.k. by america and as far as we know it has never actually been used so i think it's been a real shock to scientists that they have discovered that this was the particular. chemical agent that was used it was analyzed by scientists porton down and those are scientifically trees in the u.k. in fact very missiles free which is the city where this attack took place which is probably particular key for scriptural that he was so near these scientists that they were able to actually treat him so quickly so i think that there is no doubt that this is certainly soviet produced and that they were in in some way behind this the clock is ticking we saw the theresa may has given russia a deadline to give a full explanation for what happened by midnight why did she go as far as to give

an ultimatum to get a coordinated response not just from within the u.k. but also from her allies and she's got it you just mentioned chancellor merkel there there's also been france there's been a you there's been nato and in particular there's been the u.s. and i think they are particularly pleased downing street and the u.k. foreign office that they have got the response they've got support so the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson was very strong in his wording saying we stand in solidarity with our allies in the u.k. we will continue to coordinate closely our response is that's just what the u.k. wants to hear and saying that those responsible should face appropriately serious consequences and i just remember that reason made before she was prime minister she used to be home secretary it was her job to keep the u.k. safe so this is her battle she wants to make sure that she's proving to the u.k. and to the world that she's doing everything she can to get to the bottom of this

and to impose whatever she can on russia in response so now she has the backing of her allies behind her if russia moves past this deadline and britain does not get the explanation it wants what are teresa mayes options well there are some very obvious options that they can do for example they can expel russian diplomats. they can freeze bank accounts of those russians who they think have particularly close ties to the kremlin they're also talking about confiscating assets of russians so that could be house is so of the assets which could also be associated with the kremlin this talk of invoking offical five of the treaty that the nato allies have always he signed that means if you attack one member of the u.k. you attack us all so there are there are lots of ways that they can try to move to prove that they are tough on this but really they need allies across the world to

help them because whatever the hue case says it is just so a small country didn't do so well in how it responded to litvinenko that attack back in two thousand and six a lot of criticism that the u.k. could have done more so i think this time they want to do everything they can show they will respond maybe even economic and diplomatic sanctions or it will teresa may setting that deadline for a full explanation by tonight midnight our correspondent alex forrest whiting thank you very much for keeping us up to date of some other stories making news around the world investigators in nepal have retrieved the flight data recorder from an aircraft that crashed a couple and two airport on monday authorities hoping it might help them identify the cause of the accident the u.s. bungler airlines flight crashed on arrival from dhaka at least forty nine people were killed. mexican prosecutors have arrested a man who allegedly played a key role in the kidnapping and murder of more than forty student teachers in two

thousand and fourteen authorities had put an eighty thousand euro bounty on his head the murder shocked the country and punched the government into crisis over its handling of the case. an explosion struck the convoy of the palestinian prime minister as he made a rare visit to the gaza strip rami home dollah is understood to be safe and has attended an event scheduled the palestinian presidency has blamed for the explosion around one hundred civilians have left syria's besieged eastern ghouta under a medical evacuation deal with russia the red cross says it expects a way for further evacuations today this after the u.s. said it would intervene if needed to end what it called into human suffering in syria u.s. ambassador to the u.n. to haley circulated a new cease fire resolution on monday after last month's proposed truce failed the u.n. says syrian government air strikes have killed more than one thousand civilians in the rebel held on claims in almost

a month. and let's bring in correspondent for us she is monitoring developments from beirut in neighboring lebanon hi actual we are hearing these reports of more civilians of fleeing the area what more can you tell us about this. well i think the significance is that this is the first supported evacuation of course. in the first place and we gather. as a producer and begin. the last the beheading or so this is the first or the software didn't start to come out they wouldn't already gensis that i only said that they expect at least one thousand two hundred people to be evacuated by today but that doesn't seem as likely at the stage where we things are going because we love the united nations. desperately to said look on board today it hasn't worked out because of the security situation on the ground and because of the oceans in the wrong city the regime may be waiting for trial as to how many of these people by the end of the big gash begin to see the bottom so far who we can board

incomparably worse or the last part of civilians since this final push let me begin have left the school. didn't actually you said get to safety where are these people being evacuated to when her they're being cared for. well you know that is a very important question and narrate this really don't answer they sat there is due to go see a place for these people a lot of them a scare in the might be singled out by beauty the other lives after they lost everything that there is there to be that would be able. to live on. destitution really to go as they would be like actually against it says a lot civilians who i think is the luckiest or identity in splints of the air century just languishing in cancer and i do not allow basic needs to supply software perhaps this is the basic minimum that the at this would need of just

a. clean withdrawn they really want to get to some place where they would be is in shock. but is it sitting up with no one we know how they could be cared for there are specific stations in your masters and they want to look good to get immersed because these are all do you do not know anything at lucent yet. which is another of their own clearly we know of the deacon to damascus and yet to be deep into the sea of settlements where they were said that it was looking after their lives and i just briefly if you can you know the u.s. is calling for a full thirty day cease fire after last month's proposed truce from the united nations failed a can you bring us up to date on the situation on the ground in terms of the fighting. well readiness when they have already divided their he sued don't they was under the control of the us and it didn't go to bed.

on a good number that. it's been split into three parts oh they don't do this now and task which. was even on the floor of the stock jumped in so which is it ok for you to demonize that by at all also going back to the immediate relevance of the law that's actually to biodiesel all the time to teapots so all of this next ceasefire comes into play the regime would have to ask even further review he had to see that in situations like maybe next he believed to be this is what i see we all know what's going to happen and now the judge is to make sure that the sunni yesterday is getting it in something it's going to be. all right correspondent reporting for us there from beirut thank you. you're watching news still to come and investigative reporters murder spark some of the biggest

protests phil black has ever seen the government is under pressure to clean up corruption and the e.u. went best again if it is up to the task. but first from deal maker to deal breaker donald trump's administration stopped the mega takeover in the tech industry they're hard as well as so many are for imposing tariffs on elemental human steel u.s. president donald trump has stopped the proposed mega acquisition of u.s. chip maker qualcomm by singapore based broadcom against science in national security concerns call com has been trying to fend off a hostile takeover bid for months now u.s. president donald trump has stepped in and drew a definite lime on the unsolicited approach. welcom is the words largest producer of mobile phone chips licensing its technology which apple for example depends on for its i phones is a real cash cow that brought in five billion dollars and twenty seventeen this

makes qualcomm an attractive targets for its competitor broadcom based in singapore to one hundred twenty one billion dollars deal would have been the technology industries most costly take over after it would have also created a new semiconductor heavyweight samsung an intel have to largest market share individually welcome as the fifth largest producer of semiconductors and broadcom a key pass to sixth place combined the companies would have had the third largest market share in the semiconductor industry broadcom singapore connections and china's potential future influence over the u.s. chip maker immediately arrest national security concerns when the deal was announced last year broadcom it up to its decision to move its headquarters to the u.s. but dispel those concerns. about the market's view that decision and cross over to our financial correspondent standing by at the frankfurt stock exchange frankfurt france recalled. all the natural national security concerns that trump

cited legitimate or is it just viewed as more trump administration protections. well of course this is a protectionist move but unlike in the case of the steel tariffs trump seems to have a point here both the pentagon and the us treasury and its committee for foreign investment have raised concerns that national security might be at risk here this is all about the future of five g. the fifth generation of technology for mobile communications if such a deal happened between broadcom and qualcomm the likeliness that other companies like the chinese who are way a chip maker a mobile phone maker would get a grip on this technology so by preventing this deal trumps prevents the chinese to get too much influence on this technology and believe it or not there are many

people here in europe who think that it's a good idea to prevent this chinese influence here so this is this doesn't really come as a surprise to people where you will. no not really also other administrations in the past like the one of president obama have prevented technology deals to china for fear of putting national security risk remember xterm the german a company which also has a large protection from the facility in the united states obama prevented the takeover by a chinese investor here at the time exxon said that it would be able to survive without the chinese investors but since then x. tran has managed to do quite well come of those in there in frankfurt thank you. now president trump's import tariffs are quite unpopular with the u.s. trading partners around the world that's hardly surprising but there's one corner of the us from where you had nothing but praise for trump up correspondent example

phenomena hopped into a japanese rental car in washington and drove the three hundred fifty miles to the home of the u.s. steel industry is in the state of pennsylvania where people cheering the import barriers as a way to make the american steel industry great again. belly steel service center of a family business owned by chris pagani the company sells the riot still products tailor made for customers in the region products that will soon cost more because presidents from imports are. in the short term and they're going to create higher prices as higher prices of it. transferred down to my customers just right down the line. like many others chris is concerned about rising prices and the potential still shot it and still he's convinced president trump made the right

decision. i'm happy that it's going to happen you know absolutely it's going to boost a master production and it will put people to work in this area. i think two plants already are slated to come back online and that's not bad you know so i'm happy that it's happened in the long run chris but again he grew up in this region that used to be the heart of the american steel industry people here still hold that for additional says and in fact one in seven of the nation's steel workers still live in this region. one of them is called so rich as the president of the local union something united steel workers union in west mifflin has been calling for tariffs on foreign steel for decades he's dream came true when he was invited to the white house in a says you guys are going to be lined up behind a president and. i can't or no way i'm going to be standing behind the president

maybe outside of the white house or something but. so they put it together and they put a plan together and it happened with a sob i was so excited i was in awe you know what i mean what a what a great on air i was so humble scott doesn't believe that the tariffs will necessarily lead to a trade war and eventually harm other industries in the u.s. if you buy a car and you buy an appliance puffed india buy it and it's a consumer knowing that it's going to go up a couple dollars on still pennies a pound and maybe it'll be up on your dollars top's on a car knowing that it will stimulate the economy is for's in our area you know and create jobs in his store and something positive who could argue that fact so i say it's wall street propaganda that's what i say. and steel workers in pennsylvania do not expect miracles but they say they are grateful that at last someone in washington has taken up their concerns and is trying to save their industry.
