let's. be environment magazine. on t.w. . this is the w.'s line from. the brought tears of joy nobel peace prize winner. says it's a treat to return to pakistan for the first time since twenty twelve when she was shot on a school bus by taliban militants also on the program. syria envoys from north and south korea hold talks of the border and then i'm so you seventh as the dates when the two leaders will meet it's the latest in attempts to the north's nuclear ambitions. britain's prime minister theresa mancos on

a precedent boosting tour of the country ukraine is due to leave the european union exactly a year from today we'll bring you the latest from london. i'm phil gal welcome to the program. nobel peace prize winner malala yousafzai has returned home to pakistan for her first visit since being shot by the taliban the failed assassination attempt on van schoolgirls in twenty twelve a shocked the world despite being targeted for promoting education for girls the attack catapulted misuse of site into the public eye and she became an international icon for women's education and human rights. the signs were that this was no ordinary visit heavy security accompanied. dorival in islamabad the police convoy proof of the threat. still faces from the taliban much about her visit has been

kept secret but after a quick pit stop at this hotel the convoy was on its way again for an audience with the prime minister the schoolgirl turned poster girl for human rights proud to be back home with her family. whenever i travelled in a playing or a car inside the cities of london and new york i was told just imagine you're in pakistan you're travelling to islamabad but you're in karate. but it was never true but now today i'm very happy. there's a motion easy to understand. six years ago her activism nearly killed her taliban gunman boarded a bus asking who's. shot in the head because of a diary she'd been writing for the b.b.c. highlighting the misery for women under taliban rule. but while others might have

chosen to stop talking malala used the global attention to keep fighting for her causes. the un general assembly showing its appreciation on her sixteenth birthday. to game is the day off every woman every boy and every guy who have raised their wife for their lives. she went on to set up her own funds the fund to promote goals education and in twenty fourteen a seventeen year old malala became the youngest ever recipient of the nobel peace prize. the visit has attracted much attention in pakistan divides opinion to some she's on a mission to shame the country a mouthpiece of the west to others though she remains a national hero for standing up to the taliban. let's go to pakistan's capital islamabad where we join correspondent in the train about so welcome to day

w how was the homecoming. it's been a very happy day for pakistan be glad you will and people are motional people have been talking about this on social media and the speech that you just leave a few minutes ago i've spoken to some people who were there and they said not a single question in the room was not crying when she was talking about pakistan and coming back it's been a very very warm welcome for. that was it taken so long to visit pakistan. malana has always if you look at all her interview she always talks about wanting to come back to atlanta she hasn't specified why she has come now however security has always been the main issue and has seen two military operations in twenty fourteen twenty seventeen and terrorist activity has gone down but also hosted an international cricket tournament so i think a lot to do with with the security as well as the government being on board or

supporting her welcoming her back so i think meanly if you were to go back to the point really is security. very agile ation is far from universal as we heard in the reporter malala yousafzai does have plenty of critics some even calling her a traitor. but is has a tendency lot of people have a tendency for conspiracy theories and back then you have to also remember that when it. came to the notice of people she was very young she still is very young but she was doing something that for a lot of people seemed almost too good to be true for such a young girl alone to achieve so much and this is the way to a lot of conspiracy theorists however i think. becoming a normal or yet really was a game changer and as much as they are people who treat her there are a lot of supporters and that has really changed over the years and it's very

evident in her welcome to the back is that and how have girls' education opportunities a changed in the last six years. is far from perfect when it comes to women's rights as well as girls' education however there has been some radical changes in villages in rural areas where girls going to school was completely unheard of is now happening you have girls and boys going to schools it's become a part of the narrative in pakistan gaza to kesha and it's actually women some girls don't really have to fight for education like she did so that is changing in pakistan schools are opening up especially when it comes to the primary years for girls it's really is there's a lot of awareness around it and mostly there is the narrative is there people are talking about it people are wanting girls to be in schools educate themselves. to go further up the numbers are changing but it still is there's and still

a lot of work to do good to talk to us i guess joining us now. thank you. thank you very much the arrest summit between the leaders of north and south korea is to take place on the twenty seventh of april but as announced after senior officials from both sides matter at the border between the two nations the plan was finalized just days after north korea's leader made his international debut with a surprise trip to china. it was a slightly awkward handshake at the start of the meeting but the leaders of the north and south korean delegations were determined to put on a united front. there have been many historic events including the recent winter olympics made possible by our combined efforts strength and determination with this in mind i would like you to convey the north korean people's gratitude to south korean government officials and their people.

all the progress we have achieved today's meeting and what will happen from now on they're all happening because of the decisions made by the leaders of north and south korea it's important that we have a sincere discussion in order to ensure the shuttle into korean summit is successful. now it date for that summit has been set on april twenty seventh north korea's leader kim jong un will come here to the so-called truce village of panmunjom on the border between the two koreas if the meeting goes ahead it will be only the third of its kind since the end of the korean war more than sixty years ago. the announcement came a day after it was confirmed km young un made a surprise visit to china where he met president xi jinping china's foreign ministry said kim pledged his commitment to denuclearization. tension ever north korea's nuclear weapons escalated last year after pyongyang tested several ballistic missiles sparking a war of words between communion and u.s.

president donald trump. but since the winter olympics in south korea when athletes from the north and the south much together at the opening ceremony relations between the one time third have thought. where the north korea's leader really is willing to make any concessions and limit his nuclear ambitions will be revealed at the end of april. all this all looking very optimistic let us explore this with a bad bad guy who is a senior asia and list of the german council for foreign relations think tank he specializes in korea and china welcome to day w. so i want what should we expect from april's meeting. well first of all it's a historic meeting it's the first meeting between two korean presidents in eleven years and both the value behind those and secondly of course it's important what's

happening in the background ideally the diplomats will manage to find a roadmap that could define next steps with the u.s. and other players in the game and find ways how they actually negotiate the process and if you're so would it be wrong to regard april's meeting between the two koreas as prell huge to the big one between north korea and and america ideally yes i mean if the two koreas find ways how they want to. design a process a diplomatic process that can lead to peace that will of course have to convince of the players including china and the u.s. that this is the right way but of course washington has its own rationale to go into talks so it remains to be seen if that works if the two sides moving now to washington to the u.s. and north korea you have north korea on the one side saying that well if we had to build these big missiles if we hadn't done all this missile testing the world would

not now be talking to us on the other hand you have president trump saying his policy of maximum pressure is what has brought this about are they both right. well basically in two thousand and thirteen fourteen the north koreans decided that they needed deterrent in order to get to talks where there would be regarded as partners on eye level to find agreements where each also reflects the needs of north korea now at the moment the narrative for all of that pressure has helped to bring about these talks helps to convince policy makers in the u.s. and the public can cause a lot of misunderstandings when the parties come to the table because in the process there needs to be agreements on the steps on both sides the korean side of north korean side in the long run to denuclearize by the u.s. the new speaker and to use for the security of north korea so coming back to the april meeting between the two koreas what sort of agreements might we be looking

for that where they think they could to grio on the basic road map what steps have to be taken in the to matt diplomatic process in terms of to do new cruize asian in court in terms of approach men between the u.s. and north korea and south korea and north korea and how this should be sequenced which when which step should be done and what time in order to all sides building up trust but also being willing to to make concessions of the president is what's interesting about about that is that you're saying today saying that they know south korea meeting as being part of the big picture clearly but not much emphasis on working between the two countries this is as far as you've drawn this this picture this is about what happens next on the wider stage of them what happens next between these two countries well in the past the during past

negotiations the relationship between the two koreas was always at the bottom of first steps creating first. incidents building measures and as soon as the situation between the u.s. and north korea soured the relations and all the steps that were made between the two koreas suffered so in the future that needs to be approached the director deals with the i want to mix you know three north koreans and the us bag it's very interesting from the german council foreign relations thank you john thank you very much. for you watching the v.w. news live from now for some of the other stories making news around the world france's former president nicolas sarkozy is stand trial on corruption charges he's accused of attempting to illegally influence an inquiry into alleged irregularities in his two thousand and seven election campaign the former president is already facing separate corruption charges relating to millions of euros in funding that

he's alleged to have accepted from the make libyan dictator colonel gadhafi. and officials in the united kingdom say the daughter of a former russian spy who was poisoned with a nerve agent is responding well to treatment you describe for us again being treated in hospital in the english city of souls but they were found unconscious earlier this month as usual fish was a plane the poisoning of the russian government. now. is here with the the biz batten down the business got a patent actually you know why it is actually in the problem i don't look to be out i think you know and she's going to sing for us what are you going to do probably you know it would talk about germany which is cut its debt load thanks to a strong economy and a decline in the debts resulting from bank bailouts in the financial crisis its central bank the bundesbank says the national debt fell to sixty four percent of g.d.p.

at the end of last year germany is working its way closer to the sixty percent ceiling agreed upon by all euro zone countries most of the debt load came from working off shaky financial assets were acquired as the government bailed out financial institutions that had suffered crippling losses. let's go straight over to frankfurt and speak to markets man there danielle what are you hearing there wedding bells in that cost second here. yes the wedding bells might be ringing very soon not confirmed but i can tell you this is a really hot topic here on the trading floor and this and the nor could become very soon one company we are hearing that the boss often nor might be announcing this merger very soon no and this one has been working very closely already together since one thousand nine hundred nine mostly in the technical and purchasing field so there have been speculations for already quite some time at the moment the norse

holding forty three percent of nisson and this and fifteen per cent of nor there could be just one big issue the french government has quite some influence in north and is still one of the biggest owners of the company the market i said they left this shares often or jump high more than eight percent today. is the end of the trading day today one day early because easter is coming of course how is the market going into the easter recess well usually the week before easter is known to be very successful so many traders were hoping for an easter really but that was not really the case the fear of a possible trade war scandals involving big tech companies such as facebook or tesla all that was not very helpful at all just today before the long weekend that turned out to be a little bit more successful that's also because the euro currency is not anymore that strong right now at a level of about one twenty two a strong euro is always bringing shares down here at the trading floors and it's

giving mostly export orientated companies quite some headaches so we didn't have an easterly but at least also at the other markets around europe a more optimistic last trading day the blue chip index that's close with a plaster of one point three percent again above the twelve thousand magical point mark and now everybody i guess here as excited about the long weekend happy easter . to you too thank you very much down there in frankfurt. forsberg and has bought back almost three hundred fifty thousand diesel cars fitted with emissions cheating software from its customers in the us bus what to do with them all the comic or at least thirty seven storage facilities around the nation the lots include a shot at suburban detroit football stadium and this sun bleached desert graveyard in california because a way to be fixed and resolved but that will take time as you can see for may need

even more parking lot buybacks of the mission cheating cars will continue in the us through the end of next year. german business leaders have high hopes that the tarnished relations between germany and russia would improve in this year instead things could deteriorate even further as berlin is expelling four diplomats the german government is joining other european states and washington in a concerted response to a nerve agent attack on a former russian spy in england which britain blames on moscow german industry fears this new diplomatic crisis could crush business ties with russia even further . it's been hard to come by any positive news about german russian trade relations these days that's because of the reciprocal sanctions in effect. germany's recent decision to go ahead with building north stream to a gas pipeline that will transport natural gas to the e.u. one day is welcome news. the other good news is that trade between germany and

russia picked up last year. it declined significantly in twenty fifteen falling almost twenty four percent following russia's annexation of crimea the year before bilateral trade hit rock bottom in twenty sixteen before starting to rise again in twenty seventeen. but once again relations between russia and the west are turning sour new e.u. sanctions could be on the horizon in response to the attack on former russian spy sergey script. yes meant to the country and that would be highly welcome as the kingdom embarks on an attempt to reform its economy. for decades saudi arabia has relied on oil to power its economy but a slump in global prices has highlighted the urgent need to diversify that prompted crown prince mohammed bin solomon to embark on

a series of economic reforms top of his agenda attracting foreign investment a goal he's been pursuing during a host of meetings with international leaders like this one with the u.s. president earlier in the month. the latest news that saudi arabia is to be admitted onto a key index for emerging markets has therefore been hailed as a landmark in the country's economic transition. footsie were sought is the loyalty to confirm that the saudi arabia now meets the criteria for inclusion in its global brain as an emerging market the kingdom's entry into the international equity benchmarks marks a major milestone in its quest to grow and diversity for its economy the criteria saudi arabia mass included tightening corporate governance and easing restrictions on foreign stock ownership. and it's expected to pay off analysts

believe inclusion on the index could attract well over thirty billion dollars into the country over the next two years. and that concludes the concert. to phil's harmonic. thank you so much britain's prime minister is on a whistle stop tour of the u.k. because today a year until britain leaves the european union is visiting england scotland wales out of northern ireland's trying to drum up support for her government's bracks it strategy she says britain will benefit from leaving the e.u. has pledged to maintain the country's integrity. that's a big promise let's see if we can get more from london correspondent big mass. where i'm told that we can't do that so we were all right we will instead move. let me remind you of our top story at this time nobel peace prize winner malala

yousafzai has returned to her native pakistan for the first time since another since a shot in the head more than five years ago she said she would continue her campaign for education around the world. and high level officials from north and south korea of. april twenty seventh for a landmark summit between the two leaders those talks are expected to focus on the escalation of the north's nuclear program. i don't get your news on the go just down the road from google play or for me. i will give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news and also use it to send us photos and videos.

ok. so we were going to go to london to talk about a bracket a little earlier on get mass i'm told this started by welcome but it let's talk frank said so the prime minister has a bit on a tour of the u.k. trying to drum up support before the tour she was quoted as saying our future will be bright how is she going about convincing the country. that's not an easy task for her because you have to bear in mind that the reason why her serve was a remain and she doesn't come across as somebody who's really really convinced of brecht's it is a fantastic idea but she has to now bring the country together that's really her and hostage yesterday go shit in brussels but here in the u.k. she has to bring the whole country together and that's why she was going around all across the u.k. she is stressing that britain is not going to fall apart is leaving in one piece

together with scotland with northern ireland and she is shopping to make the case for the opportunities that come with bricks and so for example she's going to a farm she went farm and other now and and that stresses the the criticism that i think many not only in the u.k. but maybe all across europe have with the e.u. namely the common agricultural policy which really is not seen as one of the successes of the e.u. so here she says we can be more flexible we can have our own policies we can stress for example ecological commitments rather than land ownership and this is one of the points that she's make making in order to convince those brits that are maybe still undecided whether this is a good idea to convince them to come around. activists have started a campaign today for a second referendum are they likely to get much of a hearing. well there has been some amendment around a second referendum a lot of new campaign groups have sprung up new parties legs we knew have been

founded and lots of young people are trying to make the case for a second referendum these are effectively people that want to stop or exit they are saying well we voted for breakfast but we don't know what that is we do need to find out what actually is going to be the future relationship with the european union in order to then establish whether this is something that we want or whether we are better off as we are now but within the e.u. effectively these are people who are trying to stop threats of because they assume that the new relationship can be better than anything that the u.k. has at the moment there are mostly young people there trying to gather support they're trying to make this into a really big movement that carries others across at the moment it's not something that has swayed a lot of people the opinion polls are still fifty fifty more or less remain has a slight advantage but only a slight one there are a lot of people in the u.k.

that are fearing that there might be disadvantages to come after breaks that and we've spoken to france's a grady who is one of the main trade unionists here in the u.k. and she's very worried about workers' rights and i think we're just going to listen to what she had to say we want but we don't have time for that so let's move on and just talk about the fact that even though this is going to it's a year from today that bracks that is due to happen there won't be just a cliff it won't just be a case of britain is in. today and then tomorrow there aren't. well no i mean it's likely there is going to be some sort of transit transition period where mostly things stay the same and then there's going to be. something like a new patient ship but this hasn't been decided yet this is really the next step for brakes it needs to be needs to tell the british people and the rest of the e.u. of course what is the future relationship between the u.k. and the e.u.

is it something like a fairly loose relationship that's defined by a trade deal where britain effectively becomes another country for example like canada or is it something that's a little bit closer where britain may be stays within the customs union and is not then free to determine its own trade deals so this these are choices that have to be made within the next month really because it's about october time when this new relationship needs to be agreed in order to then paulson's course rant go well go to all the e.u. countries and others to go to the u.k. they'll get mass in london thank you. that's what you're up to date of yourself a good day you're watching data.
