a disease on the retreat but now it's making a comeback ahead of world tb day we go to ukraine and elsewhere in eastern europe the disease has developed resistance to the drugs that once stopped it it strikes. me that. hello and welcome my name is christopher thanks for joining us french police have arrested a woman in connection with the shooting spree that ended in a dramatic police raid earlier today she is the partner of a twenty six year old attacker who shot dead three people before taking hostages in a supermarket in the southwestern town of tab police say he was known to them as a potential is the most and that he screamed fundamentalist slogans during the attack. 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. case 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 at the top of. the attack took place in the tide of trade close to the southwestern city of caucus on at a supermarket around lunch time more than two hundred forty people have been killed in islamist attacks in france since those on the offices of the satirical magazine charlie hebdo and the batek unmusical in twenty fifteen following this latest

attack the french government says the terror threat level remains high and correspondent elizabeth has been giving us more on this story i asked her earlier whether we know if the attacker had any accomplices or not we don't yet know whether he had accomplices and is nobody likely especially about sterility ability that we'll find out but the idea that he was working alone when he was constantly all crypted telegram chats with various asuna feasts around the world means that he had he was being fed information he was being fed propaganda he was being fed ideas possibly even techniques to detach and therefore you could possibly say that if you work you know. and tell us all serve out the police officer who exchange himself for hostage president mccall calling him a hero but he's so fighting for his life i understand. yes he's left in kernel of the shoulder of the leaders on that movie until very recently where the specific

brought to the army it's no attached to the home secretary to therefore to the police but they are specially trained forces and he is an officer of great courage to when you went to an office his self for the remaining hostages in the supermarket he's forty five we don't know who we are not being told this day because we suspect that his family right now if they know what happened to him must be terrified he is a said to be in a very critical a situation we'll know more as things develop and you know we all pray that you will your right and. you know france has experienced so many attacks in recent years help people reacting this time. that is a horrible feeling of dish answer because yes we have experienced this in the past and it was about to say it's more frequent in our citizens certainly it is but if you remember the killing of father hand there all the year and a half ago in a small town close to war it had aspects and similarities the killer once again

was a local. the do nothing the the church itself had donated ground next to it for a local mosque. and and this came out of the blue and it was the same thing the same dash islamic state of indications that cetera ok. thank you very much for that background. time now to catch up with some of the other stories making news around the world in afghanistan police say a car bomb exploded outside a sports stadium in lush in the southern helmand province earlier today health officials saying at least thirteen people were killed and dozens more wounded the blast came as afghan new year's celebrations were winding down and revelers were on their way home. peru has a new president with much of the sky taking off itself pretty decisive force to

step down in the wake of a scandal involving a brazilian construction company this guy is expected to continue the free market policies of his predecessor. spain's supremes court has ordered cancel land separatists to hold a detour to be jailed along with four other separatist leaders to rule as a candidate to become regional president twenty five catalan leaders are now facing trial on charges of rebellion embezzlement or disobey the state. and people across poland have been demonstrating against a draft law that would tighten the country's abortion regulations the bill would outlaw abortion except in cases of rape or incest the council of europe has warned that the new measure is not in line with poland's human rights commitments. turning to the united states now on the latest shakeup at the white house last night president all trumped fired his national security adviser. the two men were known

to disagree on key areas of u.s. foreign policy in his place trump plans announce that prominent hardliner john bolton will be taking over the role will be trump's third national security adviser in just 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 we had one answer to fight fire with fire let's say john. of the past ten years he has been a fixture on u.s. talk shows and policy approach i think the earlier strike the more damage you can do it is a stance he 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 dealt with before the president obviously has them at the top of his priority list and so that's that's what we're 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. staying in the u.s. where anger and frustration at the lack of progress on gun control will be coming to a head tomorrow saturday more than half a million protesters expected to descend on the capital washington to demonstrate under the slogan march for lives the protests will be led by survivors of last month's massacre at a high school in park long florida and those survivors have become powerful advocates for change. a star 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 king. nick carmen and i knew the coaching since well. it's been hard so it's i mean i guess it's just me being able to say i have seventeen windows watching. 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 i think people didn't take the precautions like run for their lives as they would if they had known that it's definitely 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 their 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 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 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. 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 the better through the road because they say you don't decide that it's more important who want to go represent the three hundred twenty five million as opposed to the gun manufacturers we have in this country road to be out of a job a florida school reeling from an unthinkable tragedy is taking its fight to the national level to say enough is enough over to have you to know who has news for us the beijing is ready to play hardball on import tariffs and that has the markets

and the financial world on christopher china said it is preparing tariffs on american imports in response to u.s. penalties on steel and aluminum that take effect today the chinese officials about to defend against an even larger number of tariffs signed by president donald trump the markets are already worried. china could hit everything from american pork and apples to steel pipes its commerce ministry said it encouraged trump to negotiate but gave no deadline trump has demanded reciprocity in trade and is threatening tariffs on up to sixty billion dollars in chinese imports the chinese have said they'd prefer to convince washington to change course but they also say they won't be bullied. the mits obviously arrogant they've misjudged the situation and underestimate our ability to defend our legitimate interests they've also underestimated the price they'll have to pay for their reckless behaviors. business leaders are 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 lead to a trade war which is something that nobody wants to see at the same time it's important to recognise 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 the markets are already worried with global stocks taking a tumble on friday. some commentators see beijing's response to president trump's latest terror plans as relatively measured but washington is hinting that more punitive measures on trade may be on the horizon. all right let's go over to new york at the new york stock exchange where our financial correspondent yes caught the has been following this story for us yes what a week it has been we know that there are mixed views about these tariffs in general but the markets are in the red do you think this is just

a short term reaction or fears that a long term negative effect could be on the way. it really depends how the whole trade war will actually work out will it be a verbal threats or will we really see some serious action so far when we look at china for example they're not having a terror of on big ticket i could from the u.s. like soybeans or aircraft from boeing about that could change and then also there has been word on friday that china is at least is keeping the option open to stop buying u.s. treasuries and overall the sell of continued here on wall street after the dow jones industrial average lost seven hundred twenty points on thursday we dropped by another good four hundred twenty points on friday so no happy ending here on wall street for this turbulent week. just mention one of the key points of the

possibility of china slowing down the purchase of u.s. treasury we know that china is america's most important international creditor what effect could this have if they actually decide to do so that could have further huge implications china right now is sitting roughly on one point two trillion dollars in u.s. treasuries and as you mentioned was that it's the biggest foreign creditor to the u.s. but if we look ahead to you the u.s. is running a huge deficit and that's a rather likely to increase especially with the tax cuts that the new and as the administration just implemented saw the u.s. depends on foreign buyers to keep buying a u.s. treasuries and if china would stop doing so that could have huge implications on the financial markets and also for the economic growth overall and until then we will just be thankful that it's friday thank you very much for the analysis and for

reports throughout the week. now donald trump's crackdown on china as we just saw is bringing the global markets down the worst case scenario let's remind everyone would be a trade war were all global economies start imposing tariffs on each other however it's important to remember that president trump is doing this as a retail e ation for what he and many others consider unfair trade practices from china 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 in that 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 this guns that if there are only losers in this game there's only one better

solution 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 the enforced 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 the. think that terrorists are not the right instrument to do business. 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

but that the measures he's announced are going too far even if trying to doesn't step up the retaliation trump could be handing them the chance to be seen as the new protectors of global free trade. or that's all from the business desk but this is of course an issue that affects the whole world and you have the reactions from the e.u. kristie that's right day two of the e.u. summit in brussels and that they saw the continent's leaders displaying a united front against protectionism german chancellor angela merkel and french president both warning washington that europe will retaliate if the u.s. imposes tariffs on steel and. they should have come into effect today those tariffs but the u.s. granted the e.u. countries a temporary reprieve brussels is sticking to its key message though keep trade free or face the consequences. a full week deadline for the european union to avoid punitive sanctions an unexpected block in the road but europe's leaders are

incompetent moot the u.s. they say should not count on any naivety on the part of the europeans that everyone should know that we will react very strongly if we are attacked the american strategy is the wrong answer to a genuine problem of trade dumping and overcapacity in a number of sectors. a problem. high on the list over production of steel and price dumping from asia europe wants to tackle industrial problems like this in partnership with the u.s. rather than fighting against it and without the e.u. closing its own steel markets german chancellor angela merkel finds herself unintentionally in the spotlight many of her fellow e.u. leaders blame germany's export surplus for the imbalance in international trade merkel herself as little time for her critics and they almost got some. internal consumption is driving our growth at the moment we want that to continue and it's

something we highlighted in our government coalition agreement. that we're proud of the fact that our products are in demand. that people outside germany want to buy them. on top of the dispute with the u.s. britain wants to maintain the closest possible relationship with the e.u. after breck's it prime minister to reason may is pushing for a partnership that will allow individual sectors continued access to the e.u. single market and i'm looking for a new dynamic in the next stage of the negotiations so that we can ensure that we do develop that we work together to negotiate and develop that strong future economic and security partnership may has secured a transition period lasting until the end of two thousand and twenty but the european commission insists there will be no british wish list future guidelines will mean little scope for a comprehensive trade agreement and it's ruling out any special status what with bracks it in the trade dispute with the us there's not much time for macros

favorite topic reforming the euro zone all the same here at least it's putting a brave face on it. it's world tuberculosis day tomorrow saturday and experts could have been celebrating the treatment that came close to wiping out tb in rich countries at least instead though they'll be warning against the resurgence of a disease that kills around one point seven million people every year the reason is simple there are more and more strains of tb that is drug resistant in europe ukraine is one of the countries hardest hit by the resistant strains of tuberculosis and archaea of correspondent nick conley sent us this report. you know . 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 could 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. yeah those i'm all in 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 good to. all who takes us to a closed hospital 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 their own recovery all

has dedicated herself to fighting for benteke at the ukraine tuberculosis patients we head to the most secure part of the hospital. so. 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 only discovered he was infected by chance. 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 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 joined on the children's ward. many of these children were infected 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 although worries that's not enough just to put the people with tuberculosis need help they need to port. 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. nobleness legal action this week and that's due to the international break but training did

go ahead for the players not included in their national teams but the pressure off went decided it would be the perfect time to try the talents of an extremely famous jamaican. retired 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 with more time on his hands he's confident he has what it takes to make it. i think overall i'll give myself probably five not that i think i was ok i did well i just takes practice more on the more work get fitter and i should be ok. bolt appeared to gel well with the doormen squads and even showed some promise in front of goal. but that left footed one hundred and two hundred metre world record holder is trying to kick start 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. and courage in words for bolt but no matter how well he develops his skills on the pitch the jamaican certainly knows what the crowds. the new formula one season gets underway this weekend drivers already competing in practice for the australian grand prix so far a familiar look to the top of the time sheets maceda is drive and reigning world champion lewis hamilton he said the fuss the last time in melbourne the britain has his sights set on a fifth try this title a season red bull pilot mike fished up and was his closest challenge ahead of saturday's qualifying. a quick reminder for you of autopsy story at this hour
