it's retaliation for unfair trade practices and tuberculosis makes a comeback ahead of world tb day we go to ukraine where the disease has developed resistance to the drugs that once it stopped it in its tracks. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program thanks for joining us and we begin with breaking news this evening from france where a hostage situation appears to be over with the suspected gunman dead it unfolded at a supermarket in the southwestern town of travel close to the city of kharkiv song the interior minister says that three other people have been killed french media say the perpetrator claimed allegiance to the so-called islamic state at the interior minister of the country identified the gunmen as a twenty six year old who has known as
5:02 pm
a small time drug dealer he also gave more details to reporters about a police officer who exchanged himself for one of the hostages in the supermarket have a listen. we had no indication the attacker was radicalized he was known to the authorities as a petty criminal. acts officer left his mobile phone switched on inside the supermarket and that's how we were able to listen to what was going on in there. when we are good shots we decided to intervene. and for more let's bring in now paris correspondent elizabeth who joins us now with more details so alison if you know we're getting some details about the suspect here what more do we know. well we know his name we know he's called it a word he is twenty six he was known of the police you was known as being radicalized even though he's only kind of nations were for petty
5:03 pm
drug dealing and we also know that. he committed actually three different crimes the first solar car he forced at gunpoint to the driver to drive him from cactus on to tired which is about fifteen minutes drive away while he was still a good kisser and he saw some members of the other million he shot at the women injure them not burn it and then he got to her and he walked into the supermarket firing with a pistol and brandishing a knife and saying fast as i won't bar and then screaming vengeance for syria and then he proceeded to do a hostage taking which is a fairly typical isis terrorism technique when think of what happened at the time of shirley had joe and the hyper cashier supermarket in paris for instance it's something that has been done before the idea is to have maximum effect and
5:04 pm
maximum city and press coverage but in the end we know we heard at least from the interior minister that three people were killed that you know this suspect apparently executed those killings what more do we know about those people. if i may i would take issue with the word executed that would mean that this is a sentence carried out by legal state i don't think the islamic state is legal he murdered three people and i feel strongly about this is a french citizen but if i ask will somebody in the in the supermarket and then. people ran to safety some of them were able to go out there has been incredible testimony of a full police man retired who was shopping with his wife and his daughter and he heard a noise you recognize those as being gunshots he hid his wife and his daughter in a cold room where there were leaks and then he tried to go and speak with the gunman who the gunman started shouting he ran away you went to the police and he
5:05 pm
explained exactly who he was what he was saying we have humped you know how many weapons he had and what nature and that was quite impressive because some people were able to go out from another exit and soon you had only a few people left in the supermarket and there was the negotiation so that a kernel of this order on the offer did start against hostages and eventually replace the lost we do not know whether this this colonel was actually killed during the last exchanges he was certainly in great danger because he was alone with the killer and of course everyone wants to know what happened to him because that's quite an interesting wrinkle to this story indeed in the meantime we know just generally speaking in the country there france has been on high alert since a string of attacks that have happened since twenty fifteen what is the mood in the country generally speaking. well the country is of course angry because the this is these are not us and. we used to have a budget see
5:06 pm
a state of emergency which we conducted twice and then we passed into law a number of measures especially investigative measures that are probably sort of similar to that have in america with the patriot act and there was reaction at the time and even those are not enough we know that when like dene the killer was on the s.s. list which is the list of about twenty thousand suspects of dangerous radicalization and it wasn't enough because this is a democratic country and you do not arrest people for expressing extremely until distasteful opinions. by and large the government has reacted fast president mccoy mutely call this terrorism e will you interrupted a meeting in brussels to talk about this the thought the prime minister was in as us and he flew almost instantly the home secretary is already on the spot.
5:07 pm
that was immediately they called police and citizens all daily from must say. you know there was a there was a the fast reaction it could have been much worse analysts a bit more tame with the latest from france thank you. let's get a quick check now some other stories that have been making news around the world syrian opposition fighters and their families have been evacuating a besieged town in eastern after reaching a deal with the syrian government syrian military sources say over eight thousand civilians and some three hundred opposition fighters have left the town of harasta so far that withdrawal gives the government the upper hand in the battle for the rebel held region. and one hundred thirty five whales have died after being washed ashore in western australia the animals are thought to be short finned pilot whales a species known to stranded large groups wildlife service staff were on site assessing the health of the well being of the fifteen still alive. in zimbabwe
5:08 pm
dozens of women are celebrating being freed from jail their release comes after president emerson. pardoned some three thousand prisoners to reduce overcrowding the president is a strong opponent of the death penalty and also commuted the death sentences of prisoners who have been on death row for more than ten years. germany's angela merkel and her french counterpart emmanuel mccaughan have come out strongly in favor of free trade at an e.u. summit in brussels the pair were taking aim at the raft of protectionist measures coming from washington new tariffs on steel aluminum as well as sanctions package targeting china europe has been granted a temporary exemption from steel tariffs but merkel i'm a call warned that the bloc would retaliate should they be in post. the avoid a nation an issue with trade and we don't want to get locked into a downward spiral where everyone ends up losing. it isn't that they are interested
5:09 pm
in fair international trade and will continue to speak out against protectionism. with it since most. as you everyone should be aware that we will react very strongly if we are attacked voted. i mean take in between with that in mind the american strategy is the wrong. to a genuine problem of trade dumping and overcapacity in a number of sectors that he and for more on that let's bring in our correspondent max hope man who is standing by with the latest from brussels where that e.u. summit has ended today so max tell us we heard some tough talk there from chancellor angela merkel and french president emmanuel mccall they're running up against a may first deadline from the u.s. on getting a new deal and place when it comes to these these industries trade within these industries what's the strategy. not sure we can really talk about a strategy here because you have in this tell brussels some of the most experience
5:10 pm
trade negotiators in the world and they will tell you if you ask them that this kind of thing doesn't take four or five weeks to negotiate but it take months maybe even years so i don't know if we're going to be anywhere else on the first of may then we are at the moment maybe the e.u. will try to convince the trump administration that they are ready to negotiate but it will take more time and the huge problem we have here is that you have two completely different worldviews behind the different positions president wants a bilateral approach between two countries are going to america and a minute about called the whole european union prefers a multilateral approach within the framework of institutions like the world trade organization and that just as. not fit. and they seem to be united in that preference in fact we seen a lot of unity from the e.u. at the summit in particular and also unity against russia tell us
5:11 pm
a little bit more about that. this was regarding the nerve gas attack on british soil against the former double agent script all that made the news in the headlines for the last weeks and the real question here was what prime minister british prime minister threesome may be able to convince its colleagues that she has sufficient information and evidence that russia is really behind this attack it appears that she was able to convince him under my call and i'm going to mexico both said so in their press conference and said they would take time with your measures in the next days that would probably be diplomatic measures but those are not within the framework of the european union those would be better is from those two countries and there's a reason for that and that the reason is that not all your member states are on board with further measures with the full condemnation of this notably italy also hungary and so these countries see it differently so this is probably the topic
5:12 pm
where we had the least unity at this summit ok i also want to talk about you know perhaps the big be in the room as always that is greg said it wouldn't be an e.u. summit these days out without discussing that what's been agreed this time around. this was an important summit although we knew the details of what was going to happen beforehand that the main message here to the u.k. is no cherry picking the u.k. would like to stay virtually in the single market at least for some sectors even after gregg's it but they don't want to you know fulfill the obligations that come with it and so the other e.u. leaders said clearly that is not going to happen they are going for a free trade agreement the comprehensive free trade agreement but it will be the same as being in the single market and it will also mean that the u.k. will it will have to accept many rules from the european union without being able to influence them max hoffman with the latest from brussels thanks max.
5:13 pm
well we're going to return to a topic that max and i just discussed those tariffs that are coming from washington right helena that's right and they have sent global markets sliding in trading as fears of a trade will grow now china says it will fight to the end if u.s. president donald trump imposes those tariffs as he has promised to do say which he says are in response to unfair trading practices up to sixty billion dollars worth of annual chinese exports to the united states could be affected. stock markets tumbled on friday as fears grow of a tit for tat global trade war us president donald trump plans to hike tariffs on up to sixty billion dollars in goods from china retaliation he says for unfair trade practices we want we supercool mirror if they judge us we charge them the same thing. beijing says like for mike should not be the gold on trade and it would rather convince washington to change course but the chinese
5:14 pm
are ready to impose return to treat tariffs on u.s. products like poor condemned the minium. i'm sure you join from shoe shop which chinese position has been stated clearly the information is plain to see it's impolite not to give as good as one gets we hope the united states can treat chinese interests sincerely and solemnly and act rationally and prudently on the top. business leaders a warning that a full scale trade war would not benefit either side. the response from our members has been one of concern that these actions could be to a trade war which is something that nobody wants to see at the same time it's important to recognize that there has been a growing sense of frustration within the business community about the lack of progress and market access openings in china is increasing use of industrial policies some commentators see beijing's response to president trump's latest
5:15 pm
tariff plans as relatively measured but washington is hinting that more punitive measures on trade could be on the way. more punitive measures could be all that they way you had it just said let's see to what extent that is playing out all the european markets all financial correspondent do my lown is that the frankfurt stock exchange for us to know all those just is continuing. yes they are it's been a pretty heavy dave declines on the european markets now some of those losses have been pared back somewhat some of those losses from early trading but european markets still firmly in the red the docs for example is poised to to end the trading week close to two percent lower which really isn't surprising considering that it's a very export or heavy index they don't want to see a trade war especially considering that if they're priced there could be depressed growth and therefore depressed demand in their key markets and some of these
5:16 pm
companies several of their supply chains depend in part on china so this is going to be a real problem for them and talking about the european union of course the e.u. has been granted an accent exemption can you come up with the goods to dodge these terrorists in the long run or is this a case of i dunno just the inevitable well the hope of course is that a permanent exception would head off a tit for tat spiral and pave the way for a trade talks that would address trump's concerns but the problem is of course until may that doesn't really give you give a realistic picture it doesn't really consider the complexity of the exercise also it's not clear what trump would be satisfied with of ok so he said that he wants lower tariff tariffs on u.s. exports but they've experts have pointed out that it's very hard to negotiate that outside the framework of a free trade agreement now this is the kind of case where
5:17 pm
a transatlantic free trade agreement like it would have come in handy but remember that didn't like that deal he prefers bilateral deals so what do we do know what do you go for a new version of the teeth up that's very hard to say all right. following the ups and downs of the markets all week thank you very much. now tariffs on u.s. imports would not only hit foreign trade partners but could also backfire on it u.s. companies take the we visited it detroit that it relies heavily on overseas supplies so sapping them with the levees would not only threaten the success of the business but also detroit's way out of a crisis through detroit the motor city known for its manufacturing and innovative spirit. tunisia hubbard works on the assembly line at the shine all the factory building watches before this job she worked on another assembly line one in the auto industry she thinks her job which i know is
5:18 pm
a step up from the old one she's grown and has more opportunities here the difference between the automotive industry and being here. in the state by the difference with that somebody is the size of the pipes that we used to time the concentration that we use here. a little bit more detail than where i was a previously but are showing all the watches really made in america claiming that can be misleading considering that the company's parts are sourced from around the world. the movement components come from a swiss company with a factory in thailand china although also outsources other components like cases hands dials and crystals from india china and taiwan they even buy their thread from a supplier in germany so technically their watches are not really made in america but china knows management says it's more about the american jobs it creates the
5:19 pm
company started out with just six employees now it has a workforce of six hundred fifty with around two hundred fifty of them working on the assembly line the company invests heavily in its employees even flying in watchmakers from switzerland to train them. courtney whiting or assembles bicycles that china has detroit show road. he's convinced showing all the plays an important role in the city's economic revival. i think in the four years the story's been opened and there was so much on the street three years ago but you know there's still hope that over time it's just if we build the resurgence. for it's still there. one thing is for sure the jobs and all the creates are made in america and they help detroit's economy one watch and one bicycle at a time. all back to sarah and those tariffs not the only up
5:20 pm
a vote coming from washington sara lots of talk about from there including the following president trump's other big announcement was the appointment of a new national security advisor with notably hard line views he's quite well known and it's well known in fact that trump and his former national security adviser mcmaster didn't always see eye to eye so it came as no great surprise when he announced that john bolton would take over the role he will be trumps third national security or security advisor in fourteen months. even in a crowded field john bolton's provocative views have long stood out whether it's north korean brinkmanship or iran's nuclear program. and has a more only one answer to fight fire with fire let's ask john bolton for you of the past ten years he has been a fixture on u.s. talk shows today in the near times and here's the headline it's an eye catcher to stop iran's bomb bomb iran rarely missing
5:21 pm
a chance to hammer home his aggressive foreign policy approach i think has the earlier strike the more damage you can do it is a stunt she has doggedly clung to ever since he served as the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. under george w. bush that was during the iraq war. he now returns to government on a bulging in-tray. well i think the issues that confront us on proliferation and terrorism these are issues are dealt with before the president obviously has them at the top of his priority list and so that's that's what we working on among the many others bolton will have to put words into action when he start shaping u.s. national security policy from next month. all tuberculosis was once a disease on the retreat but now it's making a comeback that's because many strains of tb have developed resistance to the drugs that once stopped them in their tracks the result is that there are an estimated
5:22 pm
ten million new infections every year and ahead of world tb day on saturday as nick connelly sent us this report from ukraine. just three years ago all of claiming co barely knew anything about tuberculosis that is until a routine checkup changed her life and that we can't know how many people around us have tb many just don't know their status here. but even after her recovery the fear of infection is never far away there was a time i couldn't make myself get on public transport i just couldn't. we were all doing it whether we coughing or sneezing or just breathing out each of us is constantly exhaling thousands of tiny liquid droplets droplets that can spread the common cold but also tuberculosis that's what makes it such a feared disease. yeah i was praying that it was cancer anything but tb
5:23 pm
when i got that diagnosis it felt like my life was over i packed my things hospital and said goodbye to my friends that is the friends who stuck by me lots of people have just disappeared from my life that happens to everyone who gets to be good to . all who takes us to a closed door spittle for tb patients on the edge of the capital kiev. visiting the patients even for just a couple of minutes means taking extensive precautions since her own recovery all those dedicated herself to fighting for better care for ukraine to go closest patients we head to the most secure part of the hospital. not. my sil is sixty eight and has multi resistant tb standard antibiotic treatment isn't enough to beat the strains of the disease he carries he too early discovered he was infected by chance come if you broke when we had a routine check up at work they took an x.
5:24 pm
ray and found a problem i had no symptoms at all i didn't realize anything was wrong. russell's treatment will take longer but his chances of a full recovery a lower than for those patients with conventional strains of tb more than a quarter of tb cases seen in ukraine a multi resistant that's one of the highest incidence is worldwide experts say that's down to many patients not completing their course medication and the health system the confines patients in close quarters allowing them to infect one another . we join on the children's ward. many of these children were in fact by their parents. here in hospital they have little in the way of distractions and no school. while recent years have seen big improvements in the medicines available to patients in ukraine all the worries that's not enough just people with tuberculosis need help they need to port.
5:25 pm
it's not just about the drugs a lot depends on patients emotional state whether or not they'll complete their course of medication and whether or not they'll make a full recovery. well due to the international break there is no bundestag action this weekend but training went ahead for the players not including their national teams with the pressure off darkman decided it would be the perfect time to give one pretty well known jamaican trial with the club have a hook. retard sprinting legend you saying bolt has never denied his love for the beautiful game. in fact he's long dreamed of becoming a player and now it's more time in his times he's come from t.
5:26 pm
has what it takes to make it. i think overall i'll give myself probably he said not that i think i was ok i did well i just takes practice knowing what you know more work get fit and i should be ok. bolt appeared to gel well with the dortmund squad and even showed some promise in front of goal. but that left footed one hundred and two hundred meter world record holder is trying to kickstart his footballing career at the ripe old age of thirty one which may go against him. as if he's not at an age where i'd say he can develop much but he can still improve some things he'd have to train with the team for a few weeks or months and then see how it works out but he has a good understanding of the game. encouraging words for bolt but no matter how well he develops his skills on the pitch the jamaican certainly
5:27 pm
knows what the crowds. meantime the new formula one season gets underway this weekend and drivers have already competed in the practice for the australian grand prix and so far there's a familiar look to the top of the time sheets or save his driver and reigning world champion lewis hamilton just last time in melbourne the britain has his sights set on a driver's title this season red bull pilot back fessed up and was his closest challenger ahead of saturday's qualifying. and with that you're up to date now on days i'm sorry kelly in berlin thank you so much for watching i hope to see you.
