players. play to play. this is the w. news live from berlin as the u.k. ramps up its investigation into the poisoning of a former spy and foreign secretary boris johnson points the finger at the kremlin. somebody has to be responsible somebody has to be accountable and we in the u.k. think that the. evidence points the evidence for culpability points to the russian state. johnson's comments come as diplomats expelled by the u.k. leave the russian embassy in london and head back to moscow. also coming up

europe's human rights court condemns turkey over the jailing of two journalists it's of course first such ruling in connection with turkey's crackdown on anyone suspected of having links to a failed coup attempt two years ago. also coming up a sad day for conservationists the world's last mail northern white rhino dies in kenya only two females remain can anything be done to stop the species from going extinct. and facebook under fire over its links to the controversial political consultant the cambridge analytics it's alleged to have illegally obtained a data from more than fifteen million facebook accounts so what can you do to protect yourself from. the last. place. i'm sumi so much kind of good to have you with us diplomats expelled by the u.k. have. after russia's london embassy headed back to moscow this as international

weapons inspectors have begun analyzing the talks and used to poison a former russian spy and his daughter in the city of salzburg russia has hit back at british allegations that it is behind the attack demanding evidence or an apology but police in the u.k. say their investigation is likely to take months the daughter of ex russian spies sergei script all travelled home in this car after returning from moscow earlier this month now the british military has removed it for forensic tests iris after you the a script returned to sunscreen she was found unconscious alongside her father on the spaniards. scientists at this bio chemical weapons facility say they were poisoned with the narrow agent novacek this finding is no central to britain's case against russia but a direct link to pitch in remains elusive t w correspondent john and yet sat down

with british foreign minister boris johnson to have any it's solid evidence that poor then directly ordered it because what he said is the most direct accusation of russia's leader that ever if somebody has to be responsible somebody has to be accountable and we in the u.k. think that the. evidence points the evidence or culpability points to the russian state and as it did in the case of alexander litvinenko when you remember the trail of polonium led back very clearly to the russian state and in the end. mr putin is in charge and that is you know that i'm afraid he cannot escape responsibility and cope ability. both putin himself and there is a range him have staunchly denied these allegations. sooner or later these unsubstantiated allegations will have to be answered they will either need to be

backed up with something with some evidence or they'll need to apologize. to you for truth. chemical weapons experts have arrived in the u.k. to test samples of the toxic substance used in the script the results will not be known for at least two weeks more on this story with our correspondents emily sure when in moscow and bob levey zal is in london good to see you both emily let's start with you in moscow and the kremlin is asking london to back up its claims with evidence but when d.w. spoke with british foreign secretary forrest johnson he said there is no access to case materials for russian investigators what do you think we're going to hear from the kremlin on that. well we've heard a more general reaction from kremlin spokesman can he keep his calls today he said that the u.k. is basically considering moscow guilty until proven innocent rather than the other way around now i think that we'll have to wait for the results from these

international chemical weapons experts to see what moscow's response to that will be so we don't know yet but i think as long as russia doesn't get access to the samples and to the facts of the investigation which is what they've been asking for from the very beginning they have every reason and every reason to call cow fall foul play if they want to or to say that these experts for example are biased we'll have to see what they say but so far russia is kind of acting as it as it often does when when and when accusations are leveled at it strategies so far for example also with the doping scandal was to deny then to kind of question and undermine the investigation the facts of the investigation as it goes along and also to portray this whole thing as part of an anti russian campaign well barbara let's come to you know because the twenty three russian diplomats that london expelled had to leave

the u.k. today how has that been proceeding. oh that was a fairly smooth process the russian embassy here in london has beforehand sort of put on a social media sort of family photo was everybody before they were leaving and thanking them for their services and then everybody got into buses and these buses are now on the way to the airport at heathrow and then they will be going how women will back in moscow within a few hours from now so that was a fairly smooth process but the other side the political reaction off the government and london that is something that proves to be much more difficult because they are those here as the foreign minister boris johnson for instance who are rather hawkish and who really is say we cannot look weak on this and then there are those who want to proceed was a bit more caution say we will need to maintain relations with russia we will need

to be able to talk to them where does that leave the british prime minister theresa may she's met with her security team to talk about possible additional measures against russia do we have any indication of what those could be. we roughly know what these measures are supposed to be the there are supposed to be new legislation to sort of tighten rules against money laundering we've known for years that london is to be considered one of the world capitals of money laundering and there are billions of russian unaccounted to russian money sloshing around the financial markets here so that always all has been known and it is something that the government has tolerated for so many years and the problem now is to sort of tighten the screws and sort of think about doing things that we are unsinkable fall while for instance expelling some of those russian oligarchs here who are friends who was cuttin and who are supporting his regime but we're not that far yet we are

still in the sort of. on the plane of countermeasures that are rather rather timid and the right of the modest and the reason may is between a rock and a hard place she wants to look tough but she really cannot and doesn't dare to somehow really thump that table and say enough of this writer our correspondents emily sure when in moscow and barbara basal in london good to talk to you both and you can watch t w is the complete interview with british foreign secretary boris johnson online. dot com now to some other stories making headlines around the world former french president nicolas sarkozy is reportedly in police custody for questioning into the financing of us two thousand and seven campaign it is alleged that the regime of the late to libyan dictator moammar gadhafi provided millions of euros to sarkozy in a legal contributions. and your strike on

a school shelter in syria's eastern has killed at least fifteen children and two women that's according to the syrian observatory for human rights it says the strikes came from russian planes this is thousands of civilians have fled the besieged enclave. the european court of human rights today condemned turkey for detaining two turkish journalists in the wake of the two thousand and sixteen coup attempt the court in strasbourg france joined a recent ruling from turkey's constitutional court saying the rights of soft and i'll high priest see here and this colleague met half an hour for violated the court sided infringements on the parent's right to freedom of expression as well as their right to liberty and security. and let's bring indeed abuse max hoffman he is in strasbourg following this case for us hi max how significant is it that the european court of human rights has ruled in favor of these two journalists. you

can't get much higher than the european court of human rights especially of course in europe so what this does it sides with the constitutional court in turkey and let me just remind everybody how this played out because the constitutional court in turkey which is of course the highest court in turkey said that these two journalists need to be released but then a lower court said we're not going to do that we're against the constitutional court so you can't really be much more outside of the rule of law than that lower court has been and by the way those two are the only journalists that are being detained in turkey approximately one hundred fifty journalists at the moment are being detained after that coup attempt in two thousand and sixteen so this gives even more credibility to the highest court of turkey it gives it more punch and of course it builds up pressure against the turkish government max what are the consequences for these two journalists and others who have also been detained in turkey after the failed coup. well the actual ruling here at the european court of

human rights gives you an indication of what's in store because one only one of seven judges ruled against this verdict right here and you can guess the nationality of the judge he is turkish so this gives you an indication that those two journalists are about to be completely released and one of them got a life sentence by the way but like i said it's about building up pressure not only political pressure but also moral pressure diplomatic pressure it doesn't sound like much at the moment but it has worked in the past and of course those still detained in turkey apart from those two sides talked about one hundred fifty journalists approximately will be able to use this ruling as a blueprint and that's what do you think this ruling means for turkish e.u. relations. european union of course has been extremely critical of the way that this turkish government and the courts some of

those courts at least are handling the rule of law in turkey this gives them more justification this is something they can use to say or to tell to say to the turkish government listen see now we even have the highest one of the highest courts in europe judging in favor of what we've been saying in the past there is going to be an e.u. turkey meeting next week and probably this will be something day they'll be able to use to point to and try to improve the situation it's all part of that package i've been mentioning building up pressure and this is an important corner store to do that. on reporting for us from strasburg thank you max now the world's last mail northern white rhino named sudan has died in a kenyan conservatory caretakers made the decision to euthanize him after his health deteriorated sudan's genetic material has been collected in the hope that future technology could potentially revive the species only to females for me.

the life of a northern white rhino can be a lonely one sedan the last remaining male of the species has died aged forty five intensive poaching has significantly reduced numbers scientists even turned to dating apps for sudan in an attempt to raise awareness and enough money to pay for a nine million dollar fertility treatment. for the kenyan conservationists looking after sudan let the tributes only a couple of weeks ago they spoke of their hope as he tried to recover from an infected leg seven days ago we thought that we would make that decision because then one morning he could not be completely was unable to rise. to seven days ago but then after some medication that we give pain and antibiotics he was able to stand up but give us hope and just maybe we would like to give him

a chance at life while there are thousands of southern white rhinos still roaming the plains of sub-saharan africa no need to northern white rhinos remain sudan's daughter and her daughter. with experts warning that the threat of extinction is day more of a case of when instead of if conservationists hope it's not light site for these gentle giants. and we can speak to charles lucania although chino he's the director of field programs at the nature conservancy in nairobi charles thank you so much for joining us on our program is this the end of the species. thank you so scaring me so the death of sudan is really an alarming bell to my unsustainable use and management of our wilderness and our wildlife in africa and

the globe so the risk is there that these cool almost be the end of a species and in one generation we have witnessed an extinction however there is hope that we decide that is being by uni and by wildlife ecology uses that we can be able to salvage through in vitro fertilization and having this sort of get female you know carried in embryo to bring forth a viable offspring so while today's death of sudan is such a somber moment for us here in africa weeping that the best use of say let technology that is being developed by specialists is going to be probably our only last hope so it's not a silver bullet but we want to get it back on it charles tell us more about what that process is like that you mentioned in vitro fertilization how far developed is

the science so the science as you too are has been experimenting on living species in laboratories they've used on my face and the idea is to be able to use the harvested spam which fortunately has been collected from sudan and he's led brother passed away a couple of years ago and try to get inside or get north and white mother too. in vitro freshly light incubated over the duration of their pregnancy and to carefully monitor and see that there is actually genetic compatibility with the d.n.a. and therefore being able to carry the species into the future so this is very cutting edge science it's literally transforming one living species

into planetary where space memes are injected in meat with the hope that life. rights are out of reach so if a new seed can imagine these we would have hope at the white house there is no i don't hope right now because all manner of exceed to fertility station that was attempted in the consequence but too successful. all right to charles the canio lutein of the director of field programs at the nature conservancy in nairobi thank you so much for joining us on our program you're watching news still to come those quick and easy quizzes that pop up on facebook well they may be compromising your privacy with the social media giant under fire for its links to a controversial consulting firm what can you do to protect yourself. but first chinese president xi jinping has called for his country to take its due

place in the world and vowed to fight a bloody battle against its enemies speaking at the people's congress in beijing she unveiled sweeping reforms aimed at strengthening the military and the economy this comes after the communist party removed the presidential term limits allowing sheen to remain in power indefinitely well the president also issued what analysts see as a warning to pro-democracy and separatist movements in china let's listen to what he had to say. it is our shared aspiration to safeguard china's sovereignty. territorial integrity and to wholly reunify our nation. any attempts or tricks to split china are doomed to fail and it will be met with condemnation and the punishment of history. but we also heard our chinese leaders addressing the possibility of a growing a trade war with the u.s.

christophe that's right sumi the chinese premier extended what some view as an olive branch to washington leak a chung said china wants to try and avert any trade war and actually open up chinese markets wider to trade partners take a list where we truly i think there will be no winner and no benefit from any trade war between china and the united states. the top it's also contrary to the principle of trade. if we describe trade on with the word war. we this is because problems related to trade should be solved by negotiations consultations and discussions. i hope both parties will act rationally not be led by emotions and avoid a trade war the chinese primarily kids are speaking there now with the threat of import tariffs looming u.s.

trade partners have been showing varying reactions japan for example has refrained from loud criticism hoping to be exempted from the levies not the e.u.'s hopes are the same the strategy is different here's more. japan is the world's second largest producer of steel after china and behind the scenes tokyo has been using its diplomatic skills to convince the u.s. of how important relations between the two countries are for example whilst japan might exported steel to the u.s. it's also the number one buyer of american weapons such as the patriot defense system and fighter jets in fact lockheed martin is on the brink of signing a mega deal with japan so far the persuasion efforts appear to be working. on only one more there's a high of stability that japan could be exempted from u.s. tariffs on steel and a menu item basis as japanese steel and many in products contribute greatly to u.s.

industry and irreplaceable. the e.u. meanwhile is using a variety of tactics to convince donald trump to abandon his plans from threatening retaliatory measures to requesting talks germany's new economy minister was in the u.s. on monday for talks with his american counterparts. with goodwill on both sides i see a chance of getting a positive response by the end of the week. on tuesday and wednesday the e.u. commissioner for trade cecilia mao strong will continue the discussions in washington it's not clear what the e.u. intends to offer the americans donald trump has frequently criticized the e use high import taxes on u.s. cars and foods like meat. all right let's bring in our financial correspondent here general the e.u. japan china u.s.

trade partners are showing flexibility in negotiations what do people on the trading floor think is donald trump strategy of pressure working. well that's hard for anyone here to say conclusively as the negotiations are ongoing and results are still up in the air but the hope is that the strategy of paying lip service to donald trump strategy is working now we're in a situation where in order to head off a trade war it's important to say anything that one can and if it helps the negotiating parties to make donald trump feel like he's winning in order to avoid a worse outcome well that's a sort of calculation that they would make it's also worth noting that in china's case they've made plenty of pronouncements in the past about widening market access of ensuring better protection for intellectual property but foreign investors have yet to really feel the benefits of these statements as such their reactions to hearing them again have been somewhat muted so we're in a situation now where it's important to make these pledges and concessions but how they will look on the ground later on with they're implemented could be quite

different and fears over the trade war do remain business confidence in germany plunging. indeed and that is down of course to the unpredictability of donald trump on the one hand you have the looming specter of a trade war but you also have for example uncertainty regarding currency now donald trump has al tourney to between saying he wants a strong dollar or he wants a weak dollar this is obviously very confusing for german businesses who would be hurt by a weaker dollar as a stronger euro euro in comparison would make their exports more expensive broad so as such you don't need a trade war in order for german business to feel easy towards donald trump's policies the lack of certainty is enough obviously however the prospect of a trade war remains the worst case scenario for them to know their model in frankfurt thank you. expect assume you know and pressure on facebook is growing up for the data of millions of users may have been misused that's right christof so

facebook in cambridge analytical that's the political campaign consultancy they will be subject to an investigation by the u.k.'s information commission the commissioner elizabeth denham is pursuing a warrant to search cambridge analyst servers behind it is the recent controversy over cambridge and will because alleged spying of fifteen million facebook users the disclosure sparked demands for increased regulation for large tech companies facebook stock lost more than thirty billion dollars of market value amid the revelations. so what can facebook users do to protect themselves we have or social media editor with us will have no clue kroft william thank you for joining us in our studios facebook has been defending itself over and over again why is there been such a strong backlash here well two reasons really size and purpose only a relatively small number of facebook users about two hundred seventy thousand actually logged into this third party app in question but fifty million people are

ultimately affected that's because what many of these users didn't know is they weren't only consenting to give their data over to this app they were consenting to their friends data as well if their friends privacy settings allowed for that that's what's behind the anger not only the sharing of the data per se but how and why did facebook take the necessary steps to safeguard how this data was used and where it was going did cambridge analytic which was hired by the trump campaign access this data appropriately and if any laws were broken or even facebook's own policies to facebook respond properly that's what you came vesta gaiters want to find out now ok if you're a facebook user how do you protect yourself well everyone on facebook and other online platforms should be well aware that our data is the basis of these platforms mais they may seem free but of course they are and we don't pay for them with money but we pay them with our privacy that said we're not really powerless and how our data gets used on facebook people should be regularly checking their security and

privacy settings you can keep on top of how where you're logged in who sees and interact with you and how and especially how any third party apps are integrated into everything you share about yourself you even have some control over what data advertiser allowed to use and you would definitely want to check to see if your friends can give over your data as was the case here with cambridge and let it go right will definitely seems like a controversy that i keeps on growing something for facebook users to keep in mind when will you know a blue cross thank you very much for joining us in our studios. and we just have time for a reminder of our top stories at this hour russian. diplomats expelled by the u.k. over a poison attack on a former double agent have left at their london embassy on route to moscow that says british foreign minister boris johnson doubles down on allegations that the kremlin is behind the attack. and the european court of human rights has condemned turkey for detaining two turkish journalists in the wake of two thousand and
