a disease on the retreat but it's making a comeback ahead of world tb day we go to ukraine there and elsewhere the disease has developed resistance to the drugs that once stopped in its tracks and social change in saudi arabia some women are driving attending a sporting event and going to concerts but how deep to the reforms go in the kingdom we will hear from our correspondent who is there. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program thanks for joining us we begin with breaking news french police have shot dead a gunman who killed three people before holing up in a supermarket with hostages police raided the supermarket in tread in southwestern france neutralizing the twenty six year old attacker authorities say that he was
7:02 pm
a petty criminal who may have become radicalized despite being on their radar the so-called islamic state have claimed responsibility for his shooting spree. police rushing to the scene of the shooting and hostage situation the attacker twenty six year old radio unlocked france's interior minister says the suspect was shot dead by police after one officer offered himself in exchange for one of the hostages. we had no indication the attacker was radicalized he was known to the authorities as a petty criminal he did the. police 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 heard gunshots we decided to intervene. in it until. the attack took place in the tide of trib close to the southwestern city of carcass on a supermarket around lunchtime more than two hundred forty people have been killed
7:03 pm
in islamist attacks in france since those in the offices of the satirical magazine charlie hebdo and the batman musical in twenty fifteen following this latest attack the french government says the terror threat level remains high. and analysts are both which is in paris for us i asked her what exactly be authorities knew about the gunmen before the attack. we're we actually know that he was known by some services. as a radicalisation danger or he was a delinquent he was arrested he was jailed for. drug dealing in caracas. but we also know that for some some time he was followed by the police as being radicalized a day in danger of radicalization if you will so it was not as if the police were not aware that he was in the process of being radicalized that he was online all
7:04 pm
the time was enough is to websites and on shots all telegram the crypt the. messaging. but. recently the police have concluded that he would not be he was not dangerous immediate and obviously there were also you got several services looking at radicalization in the police who do drugs are not necessarily in contact with a pretty to do terrorism watch and they're all structures so that they can communicate but it doesn't always work and obviously in this instance it didn't and of course after an attack like this there is always that autopsy you know on how emergency services how they handled that you know could they have prevented it is always a bit of an agonizing question that one always asked we know that three victims have now been left in his wake what more do we know about those people who have been killed in the attack. we know that he hijacked a car engine and he immediately killed the driver and he injured badly the
7:05 pm
passenger who kicked them out of the garden used the car he drove the car on the way to on the way he was still in shock and certainly saw some serious drugging and he shot at them and he injured one of them and then he got to get gas then he wore the too tired he got into the supermarket he walked in shooting and shouting allahu akbar and revenge to syria and he shot at a customer and an employee employee was the good sure the supermarket and apparently the poor man is dead and he shot another. customer who might be one of the people who are said to be dead and then the others were fleeing of course there are witnesses there's especially a retired policeman who gave extremely precise indications of what kind of weapons he had what he was saying which is how we know this and who had the immediate reflex to do lead his wife and his daughter into
7:06 pm
a court chamber where that was called me so that they would be protected and then he tried to speak with the hostage taker. he of course he became threatening and then he escaped and he went to the police and immediately told them what kind of weapons he had and what he was saying which certainly helped there also a customer in the supermarket to let their cell phone live in the room so that the police could hear exactly where the hostage taker was say and then there was the number of hostages inside were down to i think there was an offer by the afternoon colonel of the ordinary to exchange himself for the hostage and this brave man walked into into the supermarket or the last hostage was freed and we now understand that the years of the office workers were grievously wounded by the hostages a goner. and we don't know any but we don't know his name we just know that he's in hospital emergency services ok that's an interesting development we have been
7:07 pm
waiting to to learn about his fate indeed because i mean if this tale is as we've heard so far it sounds like quite a horowitz one indeed analysts both would say joining us with the latest from france thank you so much. and meantime france's president emanuel paid tribute to the swift reaction of french security forces he was talking at a joint news conference with germany's chancellor angela merkel on the sidelines of the e.u. summit in brussels the two leaders took or rather put up a united front against protectionism in the wake of terrorists imposed by washington and europe has been granted a temporary exemption from still tariffs but merkel and mccrone warned that the bloc would retaliate should they be imposed. the avoided mission ends with trade we don't want to get locked into a downward spiral where everyone ends up losing. them isn't that they are interested in fair international trade and will continue to speak out against
7:08 pm
protectionism. who takes in this most. sums at the key is you everyone should be aware that we will react very strongly if we are attacked voted . i mean they can beat you with that in mind the american strategy is the wrong. to a genuine problem of trade dumping and overcapacity in a number of sectors if he if and for more on that let's bring in our correspondent max health 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 with it means industry is 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 trade negotiators in the world and they will tell you if you ask them that this
7:09 pm
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 troll wants a bilateral approach between two countries are going to back to. call the whole european union prefers a multilateral approach within the framework of institutions like the world trade organization and that just does 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 a little bit more about that. this was regarding the nerve gas attack on british
7:10 pm
soil against the former double agent strip all that made the news in the headlines for the last two 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 i'm willing measures in the next days that we probably should be diplomatic measures but those are not within the framework of the european union those would be better still in those two countries and there's a reason for that and that the reason is that not all you 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 where we had the least unity at this summit ok i also want to talk about you know
7:11 pm
perhaps the big b. in the room as always that is greg said it wouldn't be a youth summit these days that 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 youth leader said clearly that is not going to happen they are going for a free trade agreement the comprehensive free trade agreement but it won't 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 and there has been a lot of reaction to the tariff headlines have your innocence here with more on
7:12 pm
that i have here are of course lots of reactions especially from china which as we know is one of the most affected ones now donald trump's crackdown on china specifically is bringing global markets down the worst case scenario would be a trade war as we know where all global economy start imposing tariffs on each other however politicians and economists alike do see the need for a change in china's behavior as a trading partner needless to say opinions are mixed. if you thought it was just a spat between the u.s. and china think again the contagion from trump's tariffs will reach european shores weighing on global trade as a whole so say germany's economic representatives. dustbuster stocks and what's happening is extremely dangerous because everything's connected to everything else you will be hit if china can't send its goods to america. as of the guns that if there are only losers in this game there's only one better solution
7:13 pm
from the view of the german economy even if it's difficult to negotiate. trump's critical stance against chinese industry is nothing new europe has also long complained about the country's business practices. of course we have a problem we have been forced to technology transfer in china we know there are companies are on the strong pressure to share innovation to share the results of the research and we have a trust in the past the think that terrorists are not the right instrument to deal with this. germany is now at the negotiating table to avoid steel tariffs against the e.u. in the long run could trump's latest move simply be brinkmanship to make china do the same. the business and trade associations at the heart of europe's biggest economy say that trump is perhaps right to take some sort of action against china
7:14 pm
but that the measures he's announced are going too far even if china doesn't step up the retaliation trump could be handing them the chance to be seen as the new protectors of global free trade. now as we've heard before the e.u. has been temporarily accepted from the u.s. tariffs on steel that's good news for the industry but experts warn the tariff conflict could be far from over germany's top steel companies are assessing the risks knowing that they're dealing with a commander in chief in the u.s. that is impossible to predict. it's the early shift it still works and there's just one topic of conversation for those clocking in the preliminary agreement about the u.s. steel tariffs. we don't really believe it we know donald trump always goes back and forth with saying. it's not a real agreement because the largest steel producers have been excluded and of course it's only valid until the beginning of may so nothing's set in stone on for
7:15 pm
size of the country. it's not a problem settlement as donald trump has clearly had so much pressure from within his own country for trouble from the federal reserve banks and the u.s. economy via chaffed. exports around four billion euros worth of products to the u.s. every year industrial facilities machines and steel high quality high tech steel. the german state association has welcomed the agreement with the u.s. government but it says the e.u. is far from being in the clear the u.s. will still be sealed off for many other exporting nations from eastern europe and asia their exports may well end up on e.u. markets. we believe that that could mean around thirteen million tons being diverted to a. form that's an import increase of fourteen percent which would completely swamp european steel markets some place considerable pressure on companies to adapt.
7:16 pm
because it donald trump still disputes has changed the way many workers at towson crip see the us and has done a lot of damage at least as far as trust is concerned. well and speaking of that damage tariffs on u.s. imports could actually backfire for u.s. companies the president seems to forget that in today's world production hardly takes place in one country only take the firm we've visited in detroit it relies heavily on overseas supplies new tariffs could hit the successful business and even wrest detroit's way out of crisis. detroit the motor city known for its manufacturing and innovative spirit. to nisha hubbard works on the assembly line at the shadow of the factory building watches before this job she worked on another assembly line in the auto industry she thinks her job which i know is a step up from the old one she's grown and has more opportunities here the
7:17 pm
difference between the automotive industry. and by the difference with this is the size of the price that we determine the catholic church and that we hear. a little bit more detail. but our shine or the watch is 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 shine all 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 as management says it's more about the american jobs it creates the company started out with just six employees now it has
7:18 pm
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 show knows detroit show road. he's convinced shine all the plays an important role in the city's economic revival definitely in the four years the story's been opened and there was much on the street three years ago but no there is still popping up all the time it's just if we hold the resurgence. for it's still bad. 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. it's all for the business that's what we stay at least in the u.s. because donald trump just keeps us busy this week's absolutely we have some news
7:19 pm
about his administration president trump's other big announcement of this week was the appointment of a new national security advisor with notably hard line views it was well known that trump and his former national security advisor h.r. mcmaster didn't always see eye to eye so it was no great surprise when he announced that john bolton would take over the role now he will be trump's third national security adviser 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 we've had 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 but today the new york times and here's the headline it's an eye catcher to stop iran's bomb bomb iran rarely missing
7:20 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 through to 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 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 many others bolton will have to put words into action when he starts shaping u.s. national security policy from next month and let's get more now on that security policy we are joined by a security expert one of germany's leading security and middle east experts you know steinberg he works for the german institute for international and security affairs thanks for joining us. you know we know that trump now he appears to be
7:21 pm
surrounding himself with yes men yes women getting rid of people who are opposed to him to my interject other viewpoints she says this is troubling. it is it is highly troubling there was a there was a hope in the last well in the first year of the trump administration that the foreign policy realists like monster like john kelly perhaps even jim mattis would tame the president and would organize american foreign and security policies in in a meaningful way it was quite obvious for a while that didn't work but now it is becoming ever more obvious that president trump is not relying on any on any decent security politicians anymore what could john bolton mean for u.s. security for u.s. policy because as we heard in our piece he served under the bus administration he is a war hawk do you hear the drums of war beating yes i do is yes i do he's not
7:22 pm
a foreign policy realist like all those persons that i mentioned who believe that some problems can be solved by military means but not necessarily but who didn't necessarily believe in military action against north korea and iran i am afraid that in a worst case scenario we will see major military conflict between the united states and these two nations let's break it down now because we have the situation with north korea and we have the situation with iran how do you see those two potentially playing out well i think that john bolton is primarily a signal in iran policies i believe for although it is always quite quite dangerous to say anything about the prospects or prospective moves of the administration but i believe that it is a signal. trump administration will abandon the iran deal and i think it is
7:23 pm
a signal that we will see a club at least an american effort to roll back iranian. influence either in yemen lebanon syria or iraq just briefly could we see a military action with iran yes i think so i think we would see at least as i said military action against iranian allies in the middle east. security analyst thank you so much. all saying that the united states and anger and a lack of progress on gun control is set to come in or come to a head rather on saturday when more than half a million protesters are expected to descend on washington for a demonstration called the march for our lives it will be led by survivors of last month's massacre at a school in parkland florida who have become powerful advocates for change. a star
7:24 pm
for each of the seventeen people who lost their lives just over a month after the massacre at marjorie stoneman douglas high the pain here is still raw but the students who survived it didn't miss a beat and demanding stricter gun control many are flying to the u.s. capitol this weekend to take part in a massive protest it will be sarah's first time on a plane she's bringing a new tattoo that commemorates those she's fighting for several of the dead were her friends well keen. harming the new coach and since well. it's been hard so it's i don't know i guess it's just me being able to say i have seventeen and was walking. on the day of the shooting that there had already been a fire drill at school the students also knew that they would need to practice their response to an active shooter on campus one day. so when the shooting happened many people assumed that it was fake that people were shooting blanks and
7:25 pm
i think people didn't take the precautions like run for their lives as they would if they had known but it's definitely a real one of those who will be marching in d.c. on saturday is history teacher greg pittman he recalls the confusion and horror on the day of the shooting and as i was working with the students there and others teacher came running up to me and said greg greg. these shots these are real shots and so i let them walk watch and so we're looking for a shooter we don't know where the shooter looks like we're looking for guns and we're all very concerned and concerned with our students and just trying to figure out what to do next the students hid in their classrooms in silence hoping the shooter would pass as they waited other students and videos of gun smoke filling classrooms and their classmates bleeding on the ground. a few weeks after the massacre thanks largely in part to the activism of students here at marjorie stoneman douglas high florida state passed a raft of new gun control measures they include things like raising the minimum age
7:26 pm
at which you can buy a firearm from eighteen to twenty. one however they also include a controversial new provision that would arm some teachers in school but teachers here don't think they should have to decide when to shoot a child even when one has a gun they want to know who will provide them with training and who will pay for it and we barely have money for paper we barely have money for just supplies i spent over probably a thousand dollars this year just on the little things that might cost you because i can't go to the school with it the march for our lives protest in d.c. is their first step in an uphill battle for stricter gun laws but these high schoolers are media savvy and writing a wave of unprecedented national attention for their cause they're going to washington with a clear message for lawmakers you better through the road because if you don't decide that it's more important want to go represent the three hundred twenty five million as opposed to the suv gun manufacturers we have in this country you are

posed by tariffs imposed by washington they say that europe was prepared to respond to any protectionist. measures. well now tomorrow marks world tuberculosis day globally tb is one of the top ten deadliest diseases effective treatments came close to wiping it out in rich countries but it is now making a dangerous resurgence the main cause is the increase in the number of drug resistant strains of tuberculosis where the medicine used to treat it simply stops working official statistics say that a quarter of the world's population carries the tb infection there are an estimated ten million new infections every year and this is kills about one point seven million people every year here in europe ukraine is one of the countries hardest hit by the return of tuberculosis and the rise of resistant strains our correspondent in ukraine nick connelly sent us this report.
7:32 pm
just three years ago all of claiming co barely knew anything about tuberculosis that is until a routine checkup changed her life and 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 sneezing or just breathing out each of us is constantly sailing thousands of tiny liquid droplets droplets that can spread the common cold but also tuberculosis that's what makes it such a feared disease. doesn't really like i was praying that it was cancer anything but tb 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
7:33 pm
good to. all who takes us through a closed door spittle for tb patient 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 tuberculosis patients we head to the most secure part of the hospital. my mom. 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 only discovered he was infected by chance coming here brooke we had a routine check up at work they took an x. ray and found a problem i had no symptoms at all i didn't realize anything was wrong. russell's treatment will take longer and his chances of a full recovery a lower than for those patients with conventional strains of tb more than
7:34 pm
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. yes many of these children were freaked 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 or who worries that's not enough just to do good also put the people with tuberculosis need help they need support. it's not just about the drugs a lot bend on patients emotional state whether or not they'll complete their course of medication and whether or not they'll make
7:35 pm
a full recovery. most of them will do got. and for more now let's bring in need to paramount she is the head of the tuberculosis team at the robert cock institute here in berlin welcome to you thank you for being with us here thanks for having me now you know as we've heard t.b. it was thought to be a disease which was mostly impact in developing countries but as we just saw in our piece there you know there's the situation in ukraine it has one of the highest rates of t.p. here in europe what is the situation like in europe these days so the european center for disease control and the w.h.o. which is the world health organization european region just released the new numbers for twenty sixteen for tuberculosis in their european region and we see some good news so the newly reported cases of tb are going down in the european region there decreased by approximately four and a half percent and from twenty fifteen to twenty sixteen but not so good news is that we still had approximately three hundred thousand new cases of tb people who
7:36 pm
fell over tb and approximately twenty six thousand people died of tb in the european region and most of these numbers are actually contributed from eastern european countries such as your crane and we've heard so much about these highly resistant germs around the world that you know have really been impacting you know battle. to eradicate these diseases what lies behind that especially with regard to dipper kilo sess so one of the rising problems in being able to fight tb is multi-drug resistant tuberculosis which means that two of the most potent and effective and tolerable drugs for the fight against will close this don't work on these patients so one has to revert to more second line or more difficult to try to use drugs for these for these patients and it increases the therapy time for
7:37 pm
these patients from proximately nine months for a conventional to book with his case or standard t.v. case to approximately twenty months or longer and this is contributing a lot to the problem because it means that a lot of patients don't complete the therapy and it contributes the problem of resistance as well so now we have world tuberculosis day tell us a little bit more about that what are your hopes on this day so tomorrow is wrote a book close the say and interestingly enough to close this was actually the mycobacterium tuberculosis was just was discovered by robert cock who comes from berlin and where our institute yes absolutely and he won in one thousand and five the nobel prize for his discovery because at the time when robert carr discovered the disease it was one of the most deadly diseases in europe and his discovery actually led to the true start of the fight against the disease because people finally started to understand that it was an infectious bacteria that causes
7:38 pm
disease so absolutely fascinating work that you are doing we thank you so much for joining us this evening to tell us a little bit more about it to spread some awareness you know it's really important to get out this message paramount as we mentioned you are the head of the tuberculosis team at the robert cock institute here in berlin thank you thank you. well now we're going to head to saudi arabia where reforms are changing life in the kingdom a series of. laws are enabling women to live more independently they are now able to attend football matches and will soon be allowed to drive cars. funny char is on a reporting trip there right now she is seeing how crowd crown prince mohammed bin sandman is also trying to extend the economy beyond the narrow dependence on oil and this is feeding into social reforms saudis are aiming to develop tourism and to staging the country's first ever open air jazz concert in the coastal city of
7:39 pm
jeddah. and let's get more on that now funny char is standing by for us she is actually at that jazz festival hall in jeddah welcome to you funny not generally what you would expect to see tell us why you're there. actually well i'm here because this is the very first public jass festival here in jeddah the very first public just go searching in saudi arabia and it is definitely something you would expect of course in a country that was so lost and or closed off and it comes to any form of public entertainment connected to europe than in many parts of the roles because yes it is permitted to go to a concert like this but at the same time it's not allowed to dance or to even sway so even though there are signs of change of course these changes come through limits given the context of the use story of this country and all of this funny it
7:40 pm
is part of a bigger plan and it is part of you know bigger policy within saudi arabia the country is really opening up socially what else have you been saying there. have been here in the in saudi arabia for a week now and in the first the capital city now we are at the hob or in jeddah and a low talking to people on the fact that the open up and they are ready to debate things that for example should be keep shops open during prayer times shows you that your reality to push the envelope but even dare to argue susan things they would have never had to argue just a few years ago also we went to the desert near the out yesterday and was so young young women starting to drive the training either with their friends with their husbands with their brothers and they say yes we do want this change but driving or going to concerts like this one is not enough you want more you want more because the problem is within the system the challenges within the system itself there is
7:41 pm
still the guardian. that means women are not entitled to do certain things if you don't do approval of their husband their father their brother or whoever their male guardian is so funny it sounds like from what you're saying that people are really embracing this change if anything they're calling for more is that really the feeling across the board though in the country. if you talk to young people you know two thirds of the population is below thirty years old these young people many of them are rooting for the problem prince mohammed bin son mob who envisions this change he calls vision twenty thirty but of course you find also people who say no this threatens that the ultra conservative islamic identity that this country embraces and that again also that other people who say well a concert is great so how is what i would like to have a job i would like to feed my kids because it is not like as most people believe
7:42 pm
that all salad you see here are rich in fact there is a poverty level estimated to be in between thirty thirty to thirty five percent people who do not have more than five hundred u.s. dollars a month so for these people changes like this are a nice side of change a nice taste but what they want is a real perspective when it comes to economy when he comes to jobs that he comes to diffuse. funny char with the latest from saudi arabia as we mentioned you were at a jazz concert there in jeddah all part of this effort to open up the country a bit more by the current rulers who funny thing is so much for your reporting. on now let's get a quick check here on some other stories that have been making news around the world in afghanistan police say a car bomb exploded outside of a sports stadium and lashkar gah in southern helmand province health officials say that at least twelve people were killed and dozens more wounded the blast happened celebrations of the afghan new year winding down and revelers where on their way
