this is deja vu news live from berlin a fourth term for russia's president vladimir putin thanks his supporters in moscow after they hand him his biggest victory ever will get the reaction from the russian capital. meanwhile the attempted murder of a former spy and his daughter in the u.k. leaves russia increasingly isolated chemical weapons experts are heading to the u.k. to test samples of the nerve agent used in that attack we'll get the latest from london. plus an update on the drama in the bundesliga like the hosts of runaway leaders byard munich and beat the barrier for the first time ever we'll bring you

the highlights. i'm sumi so much going to good to have you with us a lot of your putin has been reelected to a fourth term as russia's president final results given more than three quarters of the vote his biggest victory yet many say putin's win was a foregone conclusion that's after his most serious rival opposition leader alexina volley was banned from the race. that was. precious currency and future leader vladimir putin was met by jubilant supporters when he made a brief appearance near moscow's iconic red square. sure thank you for your support. this victory demonstrates how much we've achieved in the last years under

very difficult circumstances. this victory demonstrates the hope and the trust of the russian people that we will work just as hard and just as responsibly and just as effectively in the coming week yes. he later joined in the election celebrations of his campaign headquarters and then it was back to business spicy by. official results said more than seventy six percent of russians voted for his reelection was never in doubt but voter apathy and calls for a boy cost could have compromised his legitimacy opposition leader and next in of on the he was barred from running urged his supporters to boycott the election in an attempt to undermine the results he highlighted the ways putin was trying to boost his number. in the past few weeks the government has been doing anything it can even using its civil servants to get people to go to the polls.

in the end official tallies put turn a sneer sixty percent but some question if the turnings was really that high hidden cameras installed to prevent election fraud show signs of forged ballots that had already been filled out being submitted a few dozen such incidents have already been reported says. even ahead of the election independent monitors said they'd seen an alarming rise in complaints people claimed their employers were pressuring them to vote especially when it came to states owned companies. been seeing how people were bused from their workplace to the polling stations on election day that's a violation of the rules responsible. though there may be some other game sions of fraud the outcome of the election won't change putin will still have another six years at the helm of the country. let's bring in our correspondent in moscow yury rachet who is standing by for us with the very latest good to see you

know germany new foreign minister has said that these elections were neither free nor fair what did you find in your reporting yesterday i assume you're well actually i just saw an attempt to make this election look free and fair. election which president putin won with almost seventy seven percent of the votes and sixty seven percent participation the attempt to means and you electoral commission was established c.c.t.v. cameras were installed in the polling stations stations plenty of observers from different science and countries took part but the problem wasn't the election itself or the problem was not even the amount of over two thousand many palatial speeches observers and the opposition have to take to the biggest problem sumi was obviously the whole system ahead of the election how this election was organized the only real opposition leader. he wasn't allowed to run real critics of the

kremlin were intimidated to with out about cases where universities pressure to their students to vote at their universities rather than their homes and the efforts to control their participation so these events are all evidence that make me doubt to think that this election was free and fair and on alexion day itself yury we did see footage there of ballot stuffing voter intimidation taking place in some of the polls will any actions be taken there will be violations go unpunished . while the central electoral commission a central electoral commission reported some protests even heard over one case where the head of the polling station was fired at the cases which has been documented by c.c.t.v. camera c.c.t.v. cameras are now supposed to be investigated but at the end of the day to sue me they had over the electoral commission elop on feel of our announced that from her point of view there was no significant for all it at all yuri we saw that here put

in campaigning on a very strong nationalist taken very anti western message now that he is one what we see him continue that rhetoric or change it. mr putin showed himself to the russians as a strong politician who leads a strong foreign policy and shows that the best that russia is strong and invincible it helps in consolidate his power this image even if it's sometimes counterproductive and even sometimes dangerous for his country and leads to poverty and isolation but he will continue this cause i suppose and you know what do you think those who revolted for vladimir putin now expect him to do well first there are indeed millions of russians who like putin the question is rather why they do it yet again it's all the fault of the popular myth of stability

is empty has created in that which is very carefully maintained by state television giving the opposition little chance to criticize the system and to expose the high number of problems in this country so what's having no will the putin system go on or will protests grow in the country will liberal or conservative forces win in the kremlin russia needs modernization that's clear through twenty years that have passed the last twenty years as a country it hasn't developed that much neither economically not political and so mr putin has now six six years ago or two to develop the country. davies your ear shattering reporting for us from moscow thank you yuri and put in victory comes as russia faces increasing isolation of the attempted murder of a former russian spy in the u.k. international chemical weapons inspectors are due there today to test samples of the nerve agent used in the attack. and his daughter yulia are said to be in

critical condition after they were poisoned in the english town of salisbury two weeks ago the u.k. and its allies have blamed russia for the attack but moscow denies any responsibility well speaking in brussels a short while ago u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson said he believed russia was not telling the truth this is a classic russian strategy of trying to conceal the lead in the truth in a haystack all more use out of the stage and what really strikes me talking to european friends and partners today is a true view of to the assassination of alexander litvinenko you know i'm going. to be anybody you know. let's get more from london now with our correspondent barbara vessel who is there covering the story for us hi barbara we just heard foreign secretary of course john some there will he be pressing his parts for more concrete support. absolutely that's really his main

goal in brussels because he really tries to sort of look into this hardening opinion that russia really is at fault here that putin staged this whole affair and this poisoning in britain the first chemical weapons attack since the second world war on european soil as everybody repeats of over and over in order to sort of bolster his own support in order to show himself as a strong and invincible leader as we just heard from moscow and it is so boris johnson really tries to sort of get everybody in the european union and nato because he's going to have talks there too behind him and they are first talks about it probably for the sanctions something that seemed to be totally off the table last week so we may see a change of opinion there but probably mention that chemical weapons inspectors have arrived in the u.k.

what will they be looking at today. they'll be going straight to salt spray and they are looking for traces of course over ground traces somewhere in the environment that will be very difficult because it's freezing it has snowed and it would be difficult to detect anything out there however they will also of course go to the military level of court and stand with the with the traces are held that have been removed after the attack against this cripples and they of course will try to analyze those the point now is that boris johnson over the weekend sort of said and he at the end he really he said that russia is has been stockpiling chemical weapons this wrote the last ten years and this can nearly is the case for the weapons inspectors they will be analyzing this and trying to sort of trace it back to russia and then of course further logical steps will have to follow and barbara meanwhile bring us up to date on the condition of circuits and his daughter

yulia. there is nothing concrete of hospitals climbed to the government doesn't talk about it to the condition is constantly described as stable but serious but there is speculation of course britain that the two are very close to deaths that i'm in the life support machines off they will sort of stay the same look out so many experts have now said that this is the kind of poison that is some kind of toxic nothing and done about it and it seems that the true scruples are almost too much to do us. barbara base or reporting for us from london thank you barbara not some other stories making news around the world authorities are warning people in southeast australia to remain alert as wildfires rage in the region the blazes involved victoria and new south wales have destroyed dozens of homes and forced hundreds to flee it's stopped they were sparked by

lightning and then fanned by hot dry winds mean mars leader aung san suu kyi has received a ceremonial military welcome on a state visit to australia the trip comes amid international criticism of suchi for her response to the ranger crisis some seven hundred thousand were injured have fled violence in the in march since august australia's prime minister malcolm turnbull has said he will raise human rights issues during the visit at least a thousand people marched in brazil's rio de janeiro on sunday in the latest of a number of rallies protesting the murder of a councilwoman a human rights activist franco and her driver were shot dead last week while returning from an event prosecutors say the shooting appears to be a political assassination to syria now where turkish forces have taken control of the northern town of free it's been the target of turkey's two month campaign against the syrian kurdish militia it feels as terrorists the fall of offering marks a major victory for turkey which is vowed to expand its offensive to other key towns

along its border with syria. it was the moment turkey had been fighting for this town have been controlled by syrian kurds for the past five years now it's the turkish flag that wave's over after in. the turkish backed forces captured the center of the town on sunday these fighters a proud to have ousted the kurdish militia known as the people's protection units a y p g techie says the y.p. g. is an offshoot of the kurdish nationalist p k k group it claims it's made up of terrorists and is a threat to its national security across the border news of africa's capture was met with jubilation by turkish president and one and his supporters most of the terrorists have already fled with their tails between their legs our special forces and members of the free syrian army are cleaning the remains of the traps they left

behind in the center of how freeing the symbols of trust and stability are waving instead of the ranks of terrorists. one of the first actions of the turkish backed fighters was to demolish a statue commemorating a legendary kurdish figure. there are also reports from the syrian observatory for human rights of looting right across the city. but the kurds remain defiant with an official warning that the war with turkey has now entered what they called a new phase. was that the how are our forces and afan will be a nightmare for the turkish troops and its allies the resistance and afrin will continue until the liberation of every inch of the town and until the return of the residents of afrin into their villages and homes. what are you what the idea. for this of alien population of africa in turkey's offensive has been devastating more

than one hundred fifty thousand people most of them kurds have been forced to flee for their lives in the last week as turkey attacked the city from the air and the ground at the bottom of the of us we fled because of the airstrikes and the bombardment of our villages by the turks there is no united nations or international community anymore they have forgotten all morality what can we do if civilians turkey is amongst a country. without all. up until the recent turkish attacks afrin had been a safe haven cheering syria's war now in its eighth year after the capture of africa and it's unclear what will become of those fleeing the town and if or when they will be able to return to their homes. let's go right to due to be as correspondent dorian jones who's following the latest developments in our frame for us hi dorian what will happen to the people that have been displaced by fighting in a free. well that is the big question over it's believed around one

hundred fifty thousand people fled the african town in the run up to turkey overrunning it it's unclear where they are why we believe that most of them are still in nearby syrian regime controlled territory now according to reports the syrian regime forces aren't allowing them to proceed towards the east where there are kurdish controlled regions where it is believed most of the people fleeing are from want to go to the place they will feel so safe and there are other reports confirm that seem to claim that many of these people haven't received food or water for the last forty eight hours so there is growing concern about the humanitarian situation and even if they are allowed to proceed to the east to these kurdish regions turkey is already clear that those regions are its next goal in its operation during looking at the military operation turkish backed forces seem to have taken african with little resistance why is that well that is

another question people are asking in the run up to turkey laying siege to afrin town the leadership of the syrian kurdish militia the white p.g. declared that they would fight to the bitter end to their last breath is what one commander said but then it seems a few days before tokyo took the town the decision was made to leave now officially they say that is to prevent the humanitarian crisis to prevent humanitarian catastrophe is what one spokesman said but there is a questioning that possibly there was some possible deal between turkey and the syrian kurdish forces because these kurdish forces left the town with relative impunity no real attacks by turkish forces and they left only a few hours before the turkish forces arrived and it coincided with the various sturrock and symbolic day here in turkey martyrs day and that's seen as a very important boost for the turkish president who does have all eyes on possible early elections later this year meanwhile those same militia are saying that they're starting a new phase of guerrilla warfare what will that mean for turkey. well

that is another thing that turkey will be mulling over the syrian kurdish forces say they are going to war wage of guerrilla war they say they know this territory it's their own territory they say they have forces all over the afrin enclave and they say they will make it a nightmare for turkey and the syrian forces it's backing now it's unclear whether they will carry out that threat but if they do this will be a key factor in determining whether turkey continues to expand almost towards the east of the kurdish areas and if they are forced to consolidate that position that plan may be put on hold due to these correspondent dorian jones reporting for us dorian thank you for your insight. i'll swear in syria president bashar al assad has visited army positions in eastern near the capital damascus official footage shows the president greeting soldiers and telling them they were quote fighting in the whole world's battle against terrorists the syrian observatory for human rights says the syrian government is in control of more than

eighty percent of the area while civilians continue to flee besieged eastern. you're watching news still to come we have all the goals from sunday's big upset in the bonus league of bahrain munich fall to leipsic it's a misstep for the league leaders but a huge step for like sick. but first to christophe and more fallout from the latest data breach at facebook that's right i don't know about you sue me but i feel when a company announces a comprehensive internal and external review usually something went quite wrong before hand now facebook has announced it would launch such a review that after a whistleblower claims personal data of fifty million users was misused by britain's cambridge analytic in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election now facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg the man who has made it his personal quest to connect the world is facing some serious questions. facebook's mark zuckerberg enjoys the limelight as

much as the next guy had least when the news is good but as far as the latest data scandal is concerned he's keeping a low profile more than two years ago his company discovered that cambridge analytical was using a data leaked to spy on fifty million of facebook's uses but facebook failed to inform those affected cambridge analytical was simply told to delete the data which according to media reports never happened instead facebook has opted to delete the accounts of those who brought the scandal to light people like chris wiley former research director at cambridge analytics he's described how the company worked a magic when i go and ask you i say hey if i give you a dollar two dollars could you fill out the survey for me just do it on this app and you say fine right i don't just capture what your responses are i capture all the information about you from facebook but also this app then crawls through your

social network and captures all about data also so by you filling out my survey i capture three hundred records the user's facebook friends were spied on without their consent of course their likes their gender sexual orientation and political leanings everything was gathered on friday facebook announced it had suspended cambridge analytical but that's not enough for politicians in britain and the u.s. they now want to tackle the issue and confront those responsible from facebook. tech giant apple is apparently developing its own micro l.e.d. device displays in a secret plant in california that's according to the news service bloomberg the report says apple is investing heavily into the project micro screens are flat panel displays that make gadgets dinner brighter and use less power compared with current displays it could up to it could take up to five years before the screens

appear on the market so far apple is only designing chips for its mobile devices. for more on this let's cross over to our markets correspondent genoud in frankford to ginnell apple has not commented on this report what do people on the trading floor make of it well nobody's especially surprised those have been watching apple closely you know that back in twenty four team playoff wire this company called lux the which specializes in micro t.v. and let's not forget that apple has been making a bigger effort towards producing more capabilities and house they might only produce chips for now but you know they design their own software they run their own stores and so on and trying to discover the next big thing often dissipates investing more in in-house tech as opposed to off the rack solutions now there's also a bit of speculation here as to whether this could be a reaction to donald trump's tariffs given that apple has a lot of china exposure but two things would seem to detract from that theory the

fact that they've been moving into this space for years secondly analysts say about the risk posed to apple the financial risk is quite manageable only about like fifty million dollars added and will lead to apple's costs every year which we know for apple is a drop in the bucket still if it allows apple to cover its bases then this is a move that's helpful anyway and you know this news could potentially be quite bad for apple's suppliers how seriously are they taking this development. indeed quite seriously we've seen shares of the likes of sharpe of japan display and obviously of sound come down on this news now samsung's the slave business would stand to take the biggest hit it is the undisputed market leader and overall the technology at the lever ninety six percent of the smartphone size screens last year now the biggest threat of course to samsung would be if full did manage to effect an interest in the street wide shift if it did manage to push micro ltd onto
