group is almost destroyed but c.w. takes an exclusive ride aboard a u.s. aircraft carrier engaged in a battle that's not over yet. also on the program an old english battle with a german twist as your liverpool game the upper hand in their champions league quarter final clash with pep guardiola as manchester city. italy's president looks to make a breakthrough and deadlocked coalition talks and he establishment and all right parties for the big winners in last month's election what does this mean for italy's future. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us. the struggle to discover the truth in the u.k. poisoning. case is far from over moscow failed in

a bid to gain access to britain's investigation into the attack on sergei screwball and his daughter now russia says it wants a united nations security council meeting on the nerve agent attack an attack in which moscow remains the chief suspect wednesday's meeting of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons in the hague did not leave moscow best pleased russia failed in its bid to become part of the investigation into the poisoning of this creep of voted down by among others the u.k. . russia and common with other countries on the executive committee. has been sidelined from this investigation. we are told that we can only be informed about the result of the investigation done by experts of the c.p.w. in england if the british wish it. but knowing how our british so-called partners have behaved. we cannot count on their goodwill.

this is porton dine the british lab whose latest findings have been seized upon by moscow the labs head says they can't confirm the nerve agents are agent despite the british government's confidence it's our job to provide you know the scientific evidence that identifies court the particular nerve agent is where identified was from this family. military could be their future but it's not our job to see where actually was manufactured some like u.k. opposition leader jeremy corbyn arguing that that statement seems to contradict what foreign secretary boris johnson told d.w. during a march interview room you argue that their source of north edge and novacek is russia how did you manage to find that out so quickly that's driven possess samples of these well look at the evidence we the people from from porton down the

the. they have the samples you do and they they they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy where so i said are you sure and he said there's no darts johnson in the foreign office is stressing they see no contradiction between those statements and the latest results from british chemical weapons experts u.s.p. pal is now reported to be recovering from the attack her father sergei is still in critical condition and relations between the west and russia are now at their lowest point since the cold war. well russian president vladimir putin said it was down to britain to diffuse the diplomatic spot by respecting international law. we must stay within the boundaries of sound political process but one based on the fundamental norms of international law this will make the world a more stable and predictable place. of more on this story let's bring in

ethnic glee's he's the director at the center for security and intelligence studies in oxford does the russian president have a point in implying that the u.k. and its allies are not respecting the norms of international law. i don't think he has a point and i think the words that he used. many people in the west not just the united kingdom but russia is still not taking this matter as seriously as it should russia is the only country on the continent of europe that is changed borders by force it is the only country that has. done things in the continent of europe that should be completely unthinkable including being involved in the deaths of that fourteen individuals in the united kingdom itself who

appeared to a fallen foul of the russian president who said it is absolutely usual would be usual not to include russia in this way given its track record ok well let's get back to the poisoning case now that the u.k.'s foreign secretary seems to think the lab reports implicate russia the lab itself says it has reached no conclusion about the origin of the nerve agent how do you explain the discrepancies in these statements. well i think people like me that is to say objective academic observers have got to be very focused on what the process needs to be in order to come to a firm conclusion with probability that borders on certainty that in particular countries responsible for the attack insoles very. months ago and the first thing that they pull out be said was that the nerve agent has got to be identified once

that is identified we can then use intelligence and other means to discover who is the most likely country to have been behind this remember the people who did this wish it to be secret they do not wish to be implicated this is to take it well now what porton doubt has said has not confirmed well the british foreign secretary bard johnson has said but it hasn't contradicted it they say that russia is the most likely source of know of each other because russia development of the chalk and clay chemical analysis is that this is not a charge but that by itself would never prove that russia was actually behind the attack that's another matter quite well the u.k. government insists that it does have evidence linking the nerve agent attack to russia with their credibility now being questioned why doesn't the government make

such evidence public. well it's a very good question and i think very shortly he could get government will have to make public the intelligence it gave not to the leader of britain localization fati jeremy goldman but gave to the german chancellor the french president the american president and so on and it is certainly clue couldn't true that the language used by britain's foreign secretary or his johnson has fallen short of the language you would expect the senior diplomat of a country to use he has said overwhelmingly likely that president putin himself was behind the attack to raise a prime minister has been much more measured and said that it is likely that russia was behind the attack people will rightly say. where did the foreign secretary get this information from we would like to see it now he says twenty eight other

countries have followed the british lead but that is twenty eight foreign countries we're told what he said ok. they definitely couldn't then the twenty eight countries might want to think again but i don't believe that's the case i think thank you so much less anthony glee there director of the center for security and intelligence studies in oxford thanks for talking with us. now to some other stories making headlines around the world today brazil's supreme court has rejected a bid by former president luisa not seals of the sylva to stay out of prison while he appeals a corruption conviction ruling makes it almost impossible to seek a third term as president in elections later this year and it likely means he must begin serving his twelve year sentence. opposition candidate surely is made up b.-o. won the runoff election in sierra leone to become the country's next president he

president hassan rouhani turkish president richard everyone and russian president vladimir putin all the great that the conflict in syria needs a swift and peaceful resolution. how exactly that will happen was not revealed but the message was clear. we share the view that syria must be held together and this bloody conflict by a stand in order to secure the country's future that's because the losers in this conflict are the citizens of syria. turkey also houses three million syrian refugees and would like them to return to their homeland. russia and iran are on the side of the syrian government while turkey supports the rebels as long as they're not kurdish forces the turkish military is advancing in syria to push out the kurdish military but he ran once turkey to eventually hand over the conquered territory back to the syrian army. another major challenge the syrian

province of italy where many people including refugees and fighters from eastern guta have been moved to avoid the fighting however with more than one and a half million people there now it's turning into a humanitarian disaster the u.n. says that certain groups are preventing it from delivering supplies need to learn from the. it can become a battle so it's full of civilians and they. are displaced all this is happening as u.s. president donald trump announced on tuesday that he wants the u.s. to get out of the conflict currently there are two thousand american military personnel there. standing by for us he's been covering that. story in russia turkey and iran say they want

to end the conflict in syria are they unified in their view on how that supposed to happen. well at least for now they do appear to be and the message is that they realize that they even though have complete and complete team goals and rival sides in the syrian civil war they need to work together if there is to be progress and any hope of bringing this conflict to an end and that was the message of the summit they say that they are going to intensify that cooperation they believe that cooperation on the ground is starting to work the creation of these d. conflict zones where syrian rebels and their families are being moved to and where a ceasefire will be observed is to see as the key to bringing an end creating a map of what a future syria post conflict would look like so for now at least they all believe that going forward they have to work together to achieve their goals and bring an end to the seven year conflict now in his concluding statement at the summit

dorrian the turkish president to one he stressed a common desire to preserve syria's territorial integrity how does that square with the turkeys with turkey's military presence in a free. well tell you in say that this intervention to free him is part of an anti-terrorist operation and it's nothing to do with an invasion it's all they say any country in the world has a right to do although observers are increasingly concerned that they see this as turkey ground ground grabbing realestate in syria but that statement by one is seen as a warning to the country syrian kurds they believe. that these cuts which this mccurdy controls around a third of syria with the backing of the us could ultimately secede from the country and along notably with the backing of the russian and iranian president say they ought to turn in to prevent that and also to prevent the u.s. is interference in syria that was another key message from this summit listening to

what was said at the summit in seeing how the syrian war has developed story and one gets the impression that momentum is moving towards an end game what's standing in the way of bringing the conflict to a conclusion. well this conflict is hugely complex not only do you have the rival factions in syria fighting you also have their backers outside notably the the people who attended the summit yesterday on top of that you have countries like the us saudi arabia israel all of these countries involved which makes this situation extremely complex and also the country is still very deeply divided on the whole i think solution going forward is certainly the message from the summit is they have to simplify the map first make it more simple then move to an endgame and ultimately a final settlement with a new constitution it would be very difficult there are still deep rivalries and competition for power but at least now the key players at the moment in syria do

appear to be working together rather than working against one another. thank you so much the story in jones there in ankara. and we'll have more on the war in syria later in the show and we'll have an exclusive report by our correspondent yury rich chateau on board the aircraft carrier u.s.s. theodore roosevelt it's in the gulf key base for u.s. forces in the area. after days of escalating tensions over trade suddenly a much more conciliatory tone crystal that's right terry while u.s. president donald trump paused to define messages on twitter his administration signaled possible wiggle room in the trade dispute with china as a result asian stock markets are posting solid gains this morning that after stocks on wall street managed a strong finish on thursday night u.s. trade secretary wilbur ross said he would like to reach a trade agreement with china soon and the president's economic advisor larry kudlow

questioned whether the announced tariffs will ever take effect markets or the somewhat dialed down rhetoric comes just hours after the world's two top economies left their traits that escalate china and the united states and import tariffs of up to fifty billion dollars on products made by the other side now the levies china wants to impose on soybeans would be particularly bad news for u.s. farmers. american soybean farmers need china the world's most populous country by just thirty percent of their produce china's pork industry uses soybeans as its main feed but beijing is included soybeans on its list of punitive tariffs to encourage chinese farmers to buy elsewhere china will fight back by targeting very specifically industry focus on the voter base that is seeking to appeal to the soil is produced in states such as wisconsin and wyoming with

a strong republican voter base just the threat of chinese tariffs knocked one point seven billion dollars off of u.s. soybean futures on wednesday when chinese officials are wondering why the u.s. is spoiling what they call the mutually beneficial trade relationship for u.s. president donald trump the tariffs are a way of putting pressure on beijing he wants china to give up the benefits and protectionist measures it claims as a developing nation and own up to its status as a world trade heavyweight. mexico has been having its own trade trouble with the united states the u.s. president just recently again threatened to end the north american free trade agreement which mexico canada and the u.s. are currently renegotiating now in terminations of the deal would be a major blow to mexico's thriving car industry reporter gauge the mood among people in the state of puebla or many foreign carmakers have set up shop. today's lesson

the company. the city of play blue depends on the auto industry sector generates a third of its economic output so there's been no parole there since u.s. president donald trump threatened to impose high import tariffs on cars made in mexico not everyone's worried i think this is a whole lot of fuss. the structure of the auto industry of the auto parts is very dependent on what we do here and what they consume there and what they do whatever it's a it's a nice set up there has been working for last years what i see more dangerous is a light shines a calm in july because we don't know if we're going to get a president who understands this and doesn't come up with the same ideas as our neighbors and goes populates and says well enough is not working that's close to what borders and that's being nationalists that would be like killing ourselves.

that would be a grim scenario for the trainees here. you know removed to play blue from the north especially for the audi cos. she shares a small apartment with other trainees. they don't have much spare time so their families often come to visit. yes parents are proud of her. but i'm not going to pump less well than we need me right now and i want to do is finish my training and then start working in the plant in the long term i'd like a secure job and i'd like to buy a house and a car with my wages and support my family especially my younger siblings you go to them you know when you go to them i think. you're a gonzalez is due to graduate in a little over two years she hopes mexico will still be making enough cars then for to get a job. there are two big champions league quarter final games last night with me here in the

studio to talk about all the action is cambridge from v.w. sports hey ed good morning so all english class first of all did it live up to all the hype absolutely it did yesterday and predicted to be goals and it didn't let us down but only for one side as it turned out so mohamed salah open the scoring on the thirty seventh minute it was these. twelve and it was his thirty seventh goal of the season the seventh in the champions league he's having an extraordinary season and it got clips team of to an incredible start actually started a ninety minute blitz of goals alex oxalate chamberlain weighed in with the second it was a undestroyed to double the lead really impressive start from clubs boys and and the fans the whole stadium is completely rocking his plays were given him absolutely everything and it came as no surprise in saudi a man i headed in the third in the thirty first minute and from then on it simply became a question of could they defend would they would they get another goal perhaps or could they just defend because away goal is so important and now they have to go to

manchester next week now if they get a goal man to city have to school five so it shows you just how fantastic they played last night but as we're going to see from the two managers now neither neither thinks the time is over the still plenty left to go in this in this time so still love to watch their particular in english football what about barcelona. if you draw barcelona in the champions league it's never easy what you need is a little bit of luck now roma didn't get that daniel dorsey put the ball into his own net which is never the thing you want to do he was lunging to try and stop messi scoring summerlin t.t. claimed a second but as it turned out that was just another on goal cost us a no loss but i'd use our nets gerard piqué added a third after surging run he did excellently to get the end of it for central defender and inject the hit one back and we thought perhaps there was a possibility that roma could get their way back into this tie but luis suarez back his first goal of the champions league season and he's put the side to bed i'd say

give him a thing as much i think we have a bit of sound. clip there from some of the managers that it was within the. grow a real challenge and now we're three nil up that's better than being three minutes on one of the present but it's not a decision everybody knows that as well we go to manchester city and they want to. strike back they didn't play bad tonight don't we didn't create the normally usual number of chances i think in this room these nobody except the guys was talking to you believe we're going to go through two more who we're going to try to convince him ourself in this week to try in six days. to try to lower games ninety minutes movement. so as you can see that there's still plenty of confidence from pep guardiola side even if you know not everyone believes that they still get a chance and you can quote usually so positive he's he's actually slightly worried he doesn't think this ties over just yet a lot of suspense there from the that he's bored thanks so much

forces involved in the fight against so-called islamic state are engaging in missions around the clock in a d w exclusive report our correspondent yury rich châteaux went on board the aircraft carrier u.s.s. theodore roosevelt to see the u.s. military operation up close. from zero to two hundred fifty kilometer in just two seconds it's rush to the u.s. . in the middle of the persian gulf there are apt to hundreds takeoffs and day off fighter jets reconnaissance planes transport aircraft and helicopters. lead to the good smells like terrorists this is where u.s. jets take for you in syria sometimes as often as every few minutes and that at any time of the day the aircraft carrier is the flagship of carrier strike group nine in addition to striking at the islamic state it's tasked with securing

maritime routes combating pirates and facilitating humanitarian aid three hundred pilots bought our main drive is probably our home country of defense for our own country flying is flying so matter what the mission is. try to treat any different whether we're staying locally overhead the ship or going into syria it's all the same basically i what exactly the fighter jets are targeting. it's a military secret meeting today with the pilots of carrier airwing seventeen have flown three combat to missions. recordings released by the gas army show the laser guided the bumps hitting their targets. why it's already six days a week here most of. those and sorties a day and a lot of those airplanes come back without ordinance and they're putting ordnance

on target on the threat that isis is decisions on which targets to attack a mate at the command center of the u.s. led global coalition against islamic state the coalition consists of seventy five member states and is headquartered in qatar and that is also where the petrol route in the persian gulf is determent if necessary its pilots also fly at night but that makes takeoffs and landings on the short the deck particularly tricky. for the past four months of the crew of the tour de roos build has been fighting against islamist terrorists it's a fourteen hour working day on baltar the aircraft carrier. who was shipped is twenty stories high below and above for the water line seventy aircraft and to more

than five thousand sailors and marines of the u.s. as to whether oswald is one of the biggest warships in the world it's a huge fighting machine in the persian gulf and a symbol for u.s. military might up to twenty percent of all asked strike selected by the global coalition are launched from the tell those built. its aircraft also provide cover for the coalition's reconnaissance and ground operations. teaching change on. recently in the land mass that has in the last three years or so that has decreased but i would tell you the ideology and the work that continues to exist in iraq and syria enables and allows us. the need to still fight them and we do it every day. despite claims from russian and u.s. politicians that islamic state has been militarily defeated the fight continues funding. of more of the conflict in syria and the fight against so-called islamic

state i'm joined here in the studio by syria specialist khaled a waste kind of give us a sense of just how much territory that the still controls today compared to what they controlled at the height of their powers. vastly different. they were controlling the president let's say in the in the media in the euphrates river basin that runs from. what was a sin city missa put on the ground the think of the ancient and now it's vastly the ministry mostly concentrated along the of the syrian or iraqi border but that there are three is not important the third of three that you still have the factors that led to the your eyes of isis which is made these from the this is both sides meant in syria and in iraq i mean yesterday was the diversity of martin luther king fifty years and you had the. fewest politicians talking about this in first charles mintz

and what you have now stated in the mid east in the levant is that this is a franchise with this sunni majority in syria and vast amounts of sunnis in iraq and this is i mean the myth of the rise of isis so in your analysis the sense of sunni disenfranchisement in the region is still fueling a the at least in the audio ology that was driving i. let me ask you how much of a threat do you think that i asked and its allies still pose in the middle east. the question is relative to what is it that if to what the for example the syrian population has endured in order to thaw the bombing in need the mosque is or in that bowl by the seat of iran and russia compared to the really isis is is a minute threat compared to the amount of destruction and the by russia i did on ok

we're not talking so much in relative terms but perhaps more in absolute terms they were perceived at least by many is proposing a significant threat before you do you see their threat being diminished as much as their territory yes of course the threat for now has been diminished but what's called isis to isis version two maybes on the way ok us president don't trump he seemed to be backtracking on his calls to withdraw u.s. forces from syria he's now agreed with his advisors to keep them there at least for a while longer does this back and forth in the trumpet ministration reflect a genuine ambivalence in your opinion in terms of u.s. policy towards syria or is this just another hick up of the trump administration in janata did was a bit of bitterness from the time of obama so yes that has been a thread of us a bit of an ns but you have tactic and tactical especially what would happen to

that there are three of the americans the would live with the void be ok but i'd buy it on order to. give it to russia so engine out of us that isn't balloons that is the old washingtonian doctrine of stayed away from for it and. it's we're seeing it but there are very practical is that these ik and tactical simplicity shows that the us have to sort of ok a summit just took place in. ankara between russia turkey and iran on the syrian conflict those are three major players in the syria conflict what do you make of what came out of that summit do you see this moving towards an end game with the with the help of these three players or not because the utilize isis to portray themselves as the three musketeers is that he that is if you get on russia and turkey. appeared in public as these great and the isis fighters that are fighters

but they have also. grateful for the interest on the good ol days c.d.'s god the god big cutie god they get on the influence of these photos of words so that additionally been a thought is thought of so that they don't they're not on the same page when it comes to what their objectives are in in the syrian conflict looking at syria given how things have developed in the last few months even where do you see syria headed at this point say in two or three years do you see a peaceful syria stable syria that's what the west is a being by the fact that he had to be patient of bashar assad and this talk about the structure of the country under the guise of the so-called political condition that never happened would not happen i'm afraid so again i think there was any changes c.d.o. or not to the people but something in the few years back have to look at the what led to this crisis from the beginning at least analysts kind of

a waste thank you so much for being with us. now to italy it's been a month since that country's inconclusive parliamentary elections and today the bid to form a new government steps up a notch the main political parties remain unwilling to form a coalition and the country's president is now stepping into the bed debate he summoned party leaders to separate meetings today at two separate meetings today to discuss moving forward we'll get the latest from rome in a moment but first the summary of where things stand right now. all eyes are on italy's president said. to find a way out of the country's latest political deadlock. largely ceremonial the president's job is to appoint a prime minister with a majority in parliament but last month's elections failed to produce a clear winner italy is no stranger to multi-party coalitions this time though it's different and italians are concerned. when i do this

country is undergoing a cultural drift that really worries me a strong dream if to which with the next government whatever its my cop can only get worse it's adrift affecting all of europe the whole world may be i'm worried. i'm a bit worried because i think the politicians are playing around through much and in the end they're playing for their own interests not those of the country i think they'll all take a step back and make an effort to find a soul originally pledged not to govern with other parties a position that they've since softened reaching out to the far right and to the left. but the center left of former prime minister my tail renzi suffered historic losses and is about to go into opposition. the other big vote getter was an unwieldy alliance including the anti immigrant league led by my tail. and the center right for its italia of comeback kid silvio berlusconi. a potentially euro

skeptic government in rome made up of anti establishment and far right parties would be a nightmare scenario for italy's pro e.u. partners and also for many italians. for the very latest let's cross over to rome our correspondent philip well in is standing by there for the president and italy's meeting separately today with the parties there that got the most votes in the last election what's the atmosphere like going into these talks. i think it's not particularly to misstate good just at the moment there's been a lot of. grandstanding and it tends to divide the tension of this by the various protectionists so the atmosphere is not particularly congenial and you very much agree with me have to be returned to the polls and not not in the not too distant future. said the

everything remains to to play for and as time passes approach really positions who should it only all sides now if going to the polls as you mentioned is to be oh boy did obviously want to more parties is going to have to back away from their previous positions for a coalition to emerge is there is there talk of who is likely to blink first and maybe jump over the fence. well it's difficult to say because clearly it's a poker game being played by the politicians at the moment so nobody wants to show signs of weakness so far it seems though that matters of the leader of the league has been appearing a bit more conciliatory he said except to the perhaps the prime minister not might

not be him and it is by the fact that he leads the party for the most votes in his coalition and the coalition got the most votes of any group being. the person who's being taken very hard line so far. luigi mio the. five star movement he says his party going to limit the votes as it approaches prime minister has got to be in. its difficult to say that because things can shift very quickly and suddenly and then maybe concessions from other parties within the center right for example members of silvio berlusconi's force italian who might decide to jump ship so really everything to play for very unclear at the moment how things are going to work out. for many people in europe the prospect of a government in rome made up of

a euro skeptic five star movement and the far right league is pretty worrisome how likely is such a coalition and what might its stance be toward the e.u. . well that kind of coalition is certainly on the cards because the two parties that came out this winners from the election start and believe me really the situation would be less worrying for europe if their belief was entering a coalition with five star together with its partners coalition forces for example now are. fairly pro european and moderate as the main party. it's likely though that even if the coalition was simply five star and leave no other parties their reality would be less traumatic than

their rhetoric during the election campaign a lot of the parties promise to thump the table in brussels and not be pushed around by european parties when it comes to the reality of governing i think it will be a little bit more conciliatory ok so the president is meeting with the parties of the best in the election he's hoping that they'll be able to cobble together some sort of coalition if that doesn't happen you mentioned there could be pressure elections so when are we going to know how italy's future political future will it all. the talk at the moment is potentially fresh elections as early as june. but even if nothing very positive comes out of this round of consultations by the president doesn't mean that he will

wait a loud politicians to mull things over for another week or so and then come back for a second round of talks and possibly. on the occasion of that second round people will be yet a bit more realistic and conciliatory so we're really at the beginning of the game still and. there's no it's very difficult to predict the outcome and certainly people are now to being a fresh elections as early as you philip thank you very much for bringing us up today correspondent philip well in there in rome. to britain now a country state tradition and admired by many for proper manners one way of hope holding those manners is through the use of nannies a profession that's taken very seriously at norland college the school receives hundreds of applications for its handful of slots graduates are highly sought after

it's the uniform as such but if you take that away from us it's not part of northern iraq it's part of who we are. alexandra and many are in their second year and on loving every minute. they're not being trained to be just plain nannies nolan credentials are worth their weight in gold even britain's royal family relies on norland alumni who don their uniform with pride let me get a job with the royals as a career drink come true the students say they're not actively seeking a prestigious position. i just talk with that i'd love to see them i know and set me up for that but it's not that serious and i look for it's not that it's an addition it's not a primary. after graduation the students generally can pick and choose their first job but first they have to be able to afford their education annual fees and norland amount to some fourteen thousand euros the curriculum doesn't just include

cost is in quetta cooking and how to sterilize a baby bottle things like how to deal with pop or rock they are also on the shuttle the principal knows some modern nannies challenge. cybersecurity training from former military intelligence officers and that again reflects. some of the needs and demands of society today the implications of for example social media usage giving away for example cations particularly because our graduates often go on to quite high profile or high net worth families newland nine leads have long been seen as the ultimate status symbol and are in high demand among the global jet set to meet from hollywood stars to russian oligarchs everyone who can afford it wants their offspring minded by a very british nanny. the increasing breakdown of gender stereotypes has resulted in new interest for male students. this school year so it's largest ever intake of

a court case to get compensation for the victims of lead poisoning her activism has often met putting her life at risk. felicity mido a single mother of one lives a cautious life. she has been hounded several times for the work she does here in kenya's coastal city of mumbai so. in two thousand and twelve where gunmen. and they threatened me. i skipped before they shot. before that two thousand and twelve is when we had to organizing massive demonstrations you know to push for the closure. with a refinery. this is a we know who. and right next door to that smelting plant.
