keeps catalonians former president sitting in jail as he awaits a decision on whether he will face extradition we'll go live to our correspondents in barcelona and at the german prison or carlos pushed among those detained. plus when it comes to soccer brazil get a chance to heal the wounds of the footballing trauma against germany that you meet and burgling tonight in the world cup warm up match for the first full strength encounter since twenty fourteen when germany destroyed brazil seventy one in the biggest football upset of all time. a race the painful memories. kelly welcome to the program it is said to be the largest collective expulsion of russian diplomats in history. in a show of solidarity with the u.k.

the united states sixteen european union members and several other nations have ordered out more than one hundred russian diplomatic staff washington led the way expelling sixteen russians this as part of a response to the poison and the of a former russian spy on british soil moscow insists that there is still not enough proof of its involvement and has threatened a quote harsh reaction. behind the closed curtains for diplomats are clearing their desks but out in front of the russian embassy in berlin the ambassador remained defiant. we still haven't heard any evidence we keep hearing the words great probability which of course does not convince us at all stanley vs. we are of course very disappointed by this decision and we are obviously not happy that

our partners are taking part in this provocation by the english authorities. and. burn lynn says it's responding not just to the attack on former russian double agents script file in the u.k. but also to a major cyber attack on the german government's computer network. british investigators believe that x. intelligence officer script l. and his daughter yulia were poisoned with novacek a soviet era nerve agent the two were found unconscious on a park bench in the southern english city of soulsby on march the fourth they remain critically ill in hospital. at an e.u. summit in brussels last week all twenty eight member states condemned the attack the expulsion of russian diplomats by fourteen e.u. countries was a coordinated action they say all evidence points to russia and this is the largest collective expulsion of russian intelligence officers in history. i have found

great solidarity from our friends and partners in the e.u. north america and nato and beyond over the past three weeks as we have confronted the aftermath of the soulsby incident moscow continues to maintain its innocence it has vowed to retaliate in kind and warned western governments that the expulsion of russian diplomats was a mistake. and joining me now in moscow is due course. you know drag sort and in brussels is bound riegert is also standing by welcome to you both good morning dr i'd like to begin with you because we know that russia's deputy foreign minister has warned of quote a harsh reaction what sort of retaliation could we expect from the kremlin well to moscow response was to measures that expel an equal number of diplomats this is probably going to help move the days to come russia's point of view still is we have nothing to do with cells worry so we don't understand why do you want to

punish us is there any evidence please show it to us so if there is no evidence why do you punish us and gulf spokesman spokesperson of the robin said that president putin is going to announce of the days to come how russia is going to react. absolutely and also how the e.u. may react further will go to you that with that burns because how unified is the e.u. really in its response because we know that not all member states have decided to take part have they. of the member states participating in this effort so we can say the glass is half empty but you called could also say the glass is half full and that it's certainly the you institutions doing because and nevertheless the fact that not all on board the biggest member states namely germany france spain poland italy all participating in these concerted effort and this consortium

is as such is a big success also if you say if you see that the united states canada say and others on board so the west is has closed its rings and there's a scene here in brussels as a huge success and a show of solidarity for the british despite the fact that britain is about to leave the european union and the brics and process and so this process is viewed as a big sign of sort of buried here for the brits given that neo drag is russian more and more isolated internationally not from a russian point of view the west is not unified when it comes to the expulsion of russian diplomats important countries like belgium austria hungary or turkey even are not willing to put more pressure on the russian i've just watched the russian t.v. state controlled t.v. and there was a spokesperson from turkey basically saying we have great relationships with with russia and we're not willing to change it just because of the west would like to

put more pressure on russia so russia is not isolated think about countries like china india iran brazil and many others who just don't like this western attitude of you know we will put pressure put imposed sanctions on countries that are not willing to do what we would like them to do so for that reason russia's perspective on that is a completely different one band what is the west's strategy here because we've we heard it alluded to that we can actually expect further actions against russia after this right. yes the european union certainly would like russia to put it put to participate in the international. efforts to bring some clarity into this nerve agent attack the west that the european union does not point fingers directly at the crime it's not saying putin did the yukon's the president only said it's highly likely that russia is behind this effort so it's still a stance for cooperation maybe and if that is not going to take place then more is

to come announce don't tell us maybe sanctions but sanctions are very difficult to achieve in the european union because you knew to get in there and they're already sanctions in place for the. exemption of premier and for russia's road in the ukraine conflict if you look at it it's still a low key diplomatic boy if you want only a few diplomats from the russian embassies all over europe being expelled and only some resident spies it's not meaning that and bess and this is a shutdown that there are no further development of contacts absolutely important to keep that in mind although if we add them all up over all of the countries which are exploring diplomatic comes to more than one hundred back me joining us there in brussels and you know jack so much in moscow thank you. well meantime north korea's leader kim jong un is rumored to be in china on

a visit but china's foreign ministry said that it will not yet comment on the situation among the flurry of activity speculation was fueled last night after a vis heavily guarded vehicle convoy and heard the old yellow tie state guesthouse apparently in beijing a train thought to be carrying a north korean official departed from this station in beijing a short while ago. and joining us live from beijing now is correspondent mathias ballinger so as we've just heard the chinese foreign ministry that they're not commenting on any of this yet and yet the speculation is really running right here what's the latest that you're hearing while the mysterious train carrying home has left beijing. it is it seems to be clear that this was a north korean visit the fact that the foreign ministry didn't outright deny this

also speaks for it who was in this train is of course the question was it kim jong un himself who is set to have never made any state visit or has officially made not made any statement since he has been in office was it another envoy we don't know his system might is one of the speculations who might be in charge of the relations with china a special envoy we don't know and not only has he had never met another head of state since he has taken over as leader he has also apparently not been out of the country so this would be quite significant indeed wouldn't it. yeah it would be and it wouldn't be a very surprising moment i mean we have a meeting with south korea's president moon scheduled for april he's probably going to meet u.s. president donald trump in may so china would insist on having him here before these

visits. imagine china is the closest ally of north korea although the relationship has been a bedrock here in the past so north korean leader meeting with an american president before meeting his chinese counterpart would be a major loss of face and probably of influence of beijing in this north korea affair very interesting analysis there so tell us though you know given that backdrop giving that that there is that upcoming meeting with the united states if this is not kim jong un who else could it have been visiting beijing and why now at this particular moment. i mean why now is quite easy to answer because i think both sides need to talk about what is going to happen at these meetings that are scheduled to have it's in beijing's

interest to be included somehow in the process and it might also be in north korea's interest to show that they still have a relationship with beijing and to show that they still have some leverage in these talks who it might be i think the fact that we have seen this train shows is that it is probably not an ordinary diplomat speculation has been there that it might be kim jong un's younger sister somebody very close to him that would give it much higher value than. an official within the party system what he has standing by in beijing for us thank you. now let's get a quick check of some other stories that have been making news around the world the number of children who died in a massive fire at a shopping center in siberia now stands at forty one russian player president vladimir putin says that criminal negligence was behind the blaze that killed sixty four people in total the blaze broke out on the fourth floor of the complex in the

coal mining city of kemah rovell on sunday. in france two people have been charged with the murder of a elderly french jewish holocaust survivor the eighty five year old was repeatedly stabbed and her body set alight in her apartment last week in traditional sources says that the crime is being treated as anti semitism. you're watching news still to come on the program it is called a football friendly but there is much more at stake here brazil come to berlin to conquer the demons of their seven one defeat by germany at the twenty fourteen world cup will the defending champions show them any love. probably not right monica we all know football fans obviously have the minds or the memory of elephants there don't they. another very interesting topic this hour a door chip bank is looking for a new boss now that's according to

a report by the british newspaper the times which says doj as chief executive john crime is about to be ousted you to dortch is miserable financial results the fifty seven year old took the helm of the lender in twenty fifteen after a failed c.e.o. of arrangement in recent months he experienced many setbacks in efforts to rehabilitate the bank his profit warning in january dashed all hopes that germany's largest financial institution was on the mend after two years of crisis. all right for the latest let's cross over to danny cooper standing by for us at the frankfurt stock exchange frankfurt of course the home office door to bank headquarters so daniel what sir to the story is crimes replacement a done deal what are you hearing. well hi there monica well for the moment those are rumors but it seems that more and more people inside of the bank are not anymore in favor of their boss i saw him during the last annual press conference

when you promise that two thousand and eighteen will be again a year off a success for the bank that he wants to bring the bank back into the winning zone you could feel all the pressure the man has to deal with shareholders are frustrated since the beginning of this year the share price of dacha tumbles by twenty eight percent and also many inside of the banks seem to be more and more frustrated the times is also reporting that crime has recently had big arguments with the chairman of the supervisory board power now about how to bring the bank back into the winning zone also we had reports that apparently the head of the i t v apartments also a very senior member of the lender stated in a meeting that she has never worked for such an in capable company now a joke ryan couldn't put bring the bank back into the winning so who could who could to be the successor. well there are couple of names already in the discussion we also asked dodger for

a statement this morning but they did not want to comment about this issue which gives of course even more room for speculation but if those rumors turn out to be true you can be very sure that the lender is already having talks with possible success as we are hearing that the lender has apparently asked the vice chairman of goldman sachs richard kanada to take over which is interesting because also the new state secretary in the german finance ministry is a former goldman sachs employee but it seems that kanada is not interested but one thing is very sure it's going to be a very challenging job done here in france and thank you so much. spanish authorities lauding the arrest of an international criminal mastermind by his gang use some of the most sophisticated technology to rob hundreds of bank accounts around the world the cyber heist netted a million dollars each on average. it's a major breakthrough for the police in spain after

a three year investigation they have arrested the mastermind of an international criminal gang it stole as much as one billion euros according to spain's interior ministry the group operated in some forty countries using technology to change account balances and instruct cash machines to issue the money. so report on a little different book just to give you an example of how important the detention is in twenty thirteen this group managed to access practically every bank in russia one of the benefits gained in cyber attack were about one million dollars on average you know and. there's already a media many banks and authorities in several countries worked together to sneer the gang leader so the arrest is being celebrated around the world. berlin isn't the only capital struggling with getting its app up and running the

new mexico city apple it could also run into difficulties if leading presidential candidate andres manuel lopez obrador wins the election in july because he wants to abandon the thirteen billion dollar project the apple c.e.o. warns that the cancellation would cost more than half that amount. it's the biggest public construction project in the country but the face of the thirteen billion dollar airport being built here depends on the outcome of mexico's upcoming election its biggest opponent this man andrus manual lopez obrador and leftists who's currently leading opinion polls he's called the deal's behind the project corrupt and has threatened to scrap construction if elected he's since softened his stance calling for a review first but his outlook has left the company responsible for building the airport on the defensive. probably ever klarman plated against corruption

it's been built of biting by the law it's all public transparent it's a glass box through which any citizen can see what's happening in real time with a beardless. the stakes couldn't be much higher conflict because six billion dollars and tens of thousands of jobs making public trust an invaluable . ride the council on crisis has reached germany what to do about a certain person absolutely everyone really watching with bated breath to find out what carlos pushed him on faith is because a german court has ordered spain's most wanted fugitive to wait in jail as it decides whether he will be extradited catalan separatist leader coast pushed him on was detained in northern germany on sunday while in route to belgium where he is in self-imposed exile he's wanted by spanish authorities over his role in catalonia as an authorized independence vote. pushed to months attention has ignited anger and

catalonia supporters of the former leader brought traffic to a standstill near the region's border with the rest of spain. despite the protests madrid isn't backing down in the pursuit of its most wanted man. in time. i've said it many times that. those people currently on trial and those in prison are not being punished for their ideas. but for not obeying the law the more mission. in barcelona make has staged a partial strike to protest the arrest of pro independence leaders chanting for freedom and. freedom extradition pushed him once detention in germany has put berlin in a tele keep position and prosecutors say not to expect an immediate decision. this

is kind of. this is not a question of balance but something that needs to be examined very thoroughly and accurately a decision should not be expected before easter. the german regional coach would now have to decide whether the charges against bush to mount their legal weight in germany. and from why let's bring in our correspondents. standing by in front of the prison in nine months there and we're also joined by david your correspondent pablo fully l.e.o.'s who is standing by in barcelona really and i will turn to you first because you know you're standing outside of the prison where pushed him on is being held in custody has there been any movement there. well one must say on the part of collars pushed him on or indeed his supporters or legal team. much dispels all the media spin the semblance we've got about fifteen t.v. cameras countless photographers everybody seems to be waiting yesterday the spanish

just approached him on came here to see his clients he arrived too late however and he wasn't let in and he is expected to come here today here you would think that that would be an appointment that you would want to be punctual for their public fairly early as meantime we see the sunshine behind you there in barcelona have a catalonian capital how's the mood doesn't match the weather. well the mood is certainly it's just there's a strange feeling on the first thing that really struck me was i was coming into the city of barcelona from the airport earlier this morning in fact we had to take a different route white because one of the main avenues into the center of the city was caught by protesters another route which was also an option was also caught so we had to basically do a big sort of round effect to work to get where we are right now the mood is mongst friends and family and people who have been speaking to here this morning at a certain level of concern because things had been quite calm in the past few

months and now of course we're. the arrest of pollution man we've been seeing protests we've been seeing clearly people out on the street we know that this morning there one of the main motorway that connects france to spain is actually being blocked just north of barcelona so there is a certain. feeling of tension i would say on the streets it is a big holiday week here in spain of course people tend to take practically the whole week off so big cities like barcelona madrid tend to empty out so that could also have an impact on the number of people i protesting and probably tell us what's been the reaction from the spanish government in madrid. very little to be perfectly honest i mean we heard from the deputy prime minister so i guess i'm something money who was very direct in a very clear statement saying that she welcomed the decision by germany or by the german authorities to arrest perilous police demand that the spanish government full trust in the german authorities to you know continue with this process

cordingley according to them and also so that i assigned to send the money i had very strong words for it to grant the speaker of the capital and parliament and she said that his function is to represent all kaplan's on both sides and to help form a new government here in catalonia because cording to the spanish government perhaps he has been showing certain a certain level of support perhaps for the pro independence. parliament paula fully ele us with the latest from barcelona and yulia bono standing by for us outside of the courthouse in new munster everyone waiting to see what the decision will be with regard to catalonia separatist leader carlist pushed him on and whether he could be extradited from germany to spain to both of you thank you. but now germany's world cup preparations crank up a notch on tuesday with a hotly anticipated friendly and guest for a zil in berlin a win for host germany would mean a record equalling twenty three games in

a row without defeat but brazil are hoping to erase memories of a seven one thrashing by germany in the twenty fourteen world cup have a look could be painful. the prospect of a record equalling result hasn't persuaded you out he loves to play it safe in stark contrast to the full strength squad he chose for friday's clash against spain germany coach will test a string of second tier players in the capital. when the road draw against brazil will see the world champions much their unbeaten run of twenty three games under your one thousand. germany will start with several key players among them are country. music two zero one thomas miller. but one stalwart was desperate to start the game. shuffle board saying. it's something very special for me as

a child i dreamt of playing in the olympic stadium against brazil. even though it's just a friendly match it still means a lot to me because it's here in my hometown i'm delighted to be playing the game. despite their experimental line up germany will be confident they could make history against the presumed side who are missing superstar forward neymar and who have painful memories of the two sites last meeting still fresh in their minds. and memories of that home trashing by germany may fade tonight but let's remind ourselves how hard that seven one humbling hit herself you're watching news from berlin war coming up at the top of the hour and don't forget was the nation weeks of this was the. dream of a home world title. you know i'm actually happy that we have this game because i don't want to take the ghost of this seven month defeat to the world cup. they keep

the forces in for it's. replacing coach louis philippe scolari with carlos don't go after the debacle didn't change things for the next which in two thousand and sixteen did following the appointment of chichen brazil have won fourteen games out of eighteen losing just once with joy and passion. knows what he's doing. not why brazil won their qualifying group convincingly and have developed as a team. that's why i think he can give this team yes yes. clear identity. and with that you're up to date now i'm going to have your news i'm sarah kelly in berlin thank you so much for watching i hope to see you again soon.
