i'm sara kelly welcome to the program a possible breakthrough in the poisoning of the former russian double agent sergei scribal and his daughter yulia she has just issued a statement via british police confirming she is awake but disoriented after the attack that left her critically ill now her statement followed immediately after the release of a recording by russian state t.v. purporting to be between her and her cousin britain and russia fighting to control the flow of information about the case in what has become a slow blown diplomatic crisis a later it will be taken to the u.n. security council but first we're going to cross over now to the russian capital where our correspondent gary ross shadow is standing by with the latest from moscow so we have here this cripples you know seeming to be on the road to recovery what more do we know. well the daily talk shows

sixty minutes on the russia's state broadcaster you know russia one presented a recording of the conversation between you and her cousin victoria who lives here in moscow during this conversation to see if the spies delta sat and that everything was fine everything could be solved everyone was recovering all were alive answering the question about the condition of her father he told her that he was fine and that he was asleep at that moment the young woman also noted that everyone's health was normal no one had to reverse the both thinks and she's sad that she would soon be able to leave the hospital the hosts of the show here in moscow however admitted to that that they couldn't confirm the authenticity of the recording. i have this whole situation i mean it has really caused a diplomatic crisis we have to say between russia britain its allies we just

want to play the support now for our viewers bringing everybody up to date with the situation and then you're able get your reaction there after. departing on bad terms sixty american diplomats pack their bags and board buses at dawn they're leaving the u.s. embassy in moscow the latest diplomatic expulsion in the wake of the spy poisoning crisis a large number of russians have also been ordered out by the u.s. and other western allies which accuse moscow of orchestrating an attack on sega script and his daughter yulia in the u.k. in march using a nerve agent. russian foreign minister sergei lavrov claims the attack was staged to justify the expulsion of its diplomats. there who wouldn't recruit there were going to been a while since we've seen such a blatant mockery of international law diplomatic ethics and basic decency. i will

point out that we will continue responding adequately to unfriendly moves but at the same time we want to find the truth hurts you instantly. on wednesday russia failed in its bid to become part of the investigation into the poisoning it was voted down at a meeting of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons in the hague britain's representatives said it would be perverse to allow the alleged attackers to carry out the investigation but russia says that the u.k. cannot ignore its questions about the legitimacy of its claims moscow has called a meeting of the united nations security council later today to discuss britain's accusations. and given that fact yuri given the fact that now this is set to be escalated to the un security council what are we likely to expect what are the next steps here. well it looks are after a clear setback yesterday when moscow was practically sidelined from the probe of

by the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons and after that disappointing decision for russia moscow now is going to use the house just possible political stage of the un security council to to states its arguments and insist to once more on its presumption of presumption of innocence russia feels wrongly isolated because nearly all members of the european union the show solidarity with the u.k. and not with russia moscow feels it's been pushed against the wall and now russia obviously at least wants to use its right to articulate its position as loud as clear as it gets in particular as a parent and member of the security council it's completely unclear sara if anything would come out of it in the end also whether anyone ever finds out who poisoned script palls that's really written in the stars nevertheless for russia

it's a lot at stake we're talking here about russia's international credibility which is now extremely damaged area of a shadow with the latest from moscow thank you. let's get a quick check now of some other stories that have been making news around the world the defeated candidate in sierra leone the presidential election some more of kamar us says that the poll was marred by fraud and the former foreign minister has said that he plans to challenge the result his rival julius amount of bio won the runoff election with nearly fifty two percent of the vote there would be italy's president sergey has begun crisis talks with political party leaders hoping to break the government's death off after inconclusive elections the anti establishment five star movement and far right league party won the most votes but during the campaign party leaders said that they would refuse to form a coalition together. israel has warned it will not change its rules on troops

opening fire as fears grow of more violence breaking out on the gaza border eighteen palestinians were killed last week after groups threw stones and burning tires at soldiers another round of mass palestinian protests is expected on friday . how long will the united states say engaged in syria president trumps comments earlier this week that he wanted to withdraw u.s. troops very soon has unnerved his allies the white house has since sought to clarify that statement saying that washington is committed to staying the course until the so-called islamic state is completely eradicated there are currently two thousand american military personnel in syria and local commanders say that u.s. troops are setting up more positions near the front line. this military outpost in northern syria was reportedly only set up last week for example now in an exclusive report our correspondent your ear shadow got an intimate look at the u.s.

military operation from aboard the aircraft carrier u.s.s. theodore roosevelt. from zero to two hundred fifty kilometer spare our what in just two seconds. on baltar the us is to build in the middle of the persian gulf they're apt to a hundred takeoffs and they offered fighter jets reconnaissance planes transport aircraft and helicopters. led to the outfit that smells like terrorists this round this is where us fighting jet stateful for you in syria sometimes as often as every few minutes and to that at any time of the day the aircraft carrier is the flagship of carrier strike group nine in addition to striking at the so-called islamic state it's tasked with securing maritime routes combating pirates and facilitating humanitarian aid almost three hundred pilots on bought our main

drivers probably are home country defense for home country flying is flying a matter of the mission is so trying to treat any different whether we're staying locally overhead the ship or going into our experience all the same basically. what exactly the fighter jets are targeting is a military secret meaning today with the pilots of carrier air wing seventeen have flown three combat to missions. recording su released by the gas army show the laser guided the bumps hitting their targets. why it's already six days a week here multiple goes and sorties a day and a lot of those airplanes come back without ordinance and they're putting ordinance on target on this thread that isis is decisions on which targets to attack

a mate at the command center of the u.s. led to global coalition against islamic state the coalition consists of seventy five member states and is headquartered in qatar and that is also where the. the roosevelts patrol 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 miles of the group of the rules built has been fighting against islamist terrorists it's a fourteen hour working day on board to the aircraft carrier. the washer 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 children as well as one of the biggest warships in the world is a huge fighting machine in the persian gulf and

a symbol for you as military might up to twenty percent of all al strikes selected by the global coalition are launched from the tell the roosevelt. its aircraft also provide cover for the coalition's reconnaissance and ground operations. teaching change obviously in the 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 have that islamic state has been bled terribly defeated in the fight continues finale. and while the fight against the so-called islamic state goes on the leaders of russia turkey and iran have met at a summit in ankara to discuss plans for post conflict cooperation the three nations

have had competing interests in syria's protracted civil war but in a statement following the meeting they pledged just eat up their efforts to ensure calm on the ground in the war torn country. for more analysis on syria and the war on the so-called islamic state group i'm joined now by daniel cara lock the editor in chief of the german middle east magazine sanath he joins us here in the studio thanks so much for being with us daniel thanks for inviting me so many actors with competing interests there in syria who holds the cards right now well i think as i think we have seen this demonstration of power and and i think these three nations hold a great deal of the cause not all the cause of course of course the u.s. is still in the game other countries in the region are still in the game and let's not forget the syrian regime. all this narrative about a proxy war which is just being decided and even led by foreign countries makes us forget that the syrian regime is still very much in control and is still playing the game successfully cynically successfully but it's still there so it's not only

turkey and russia and iran because all these three countries as they might have different interest none of them as a political strategy on how to deal with syria in the future let's talk a little bit more about that strategy and also where we are at this point in the conflict because you know they're having a post conflict cooperation summit right now too soon or are we entering the end phases here. well you could say your and we're entering in the end they see if we are starting and game but i wouldn't say that this is a post conflict summit i think this was as i said a demonstration of power but it was also a work meeting to coordinate not to get into each other's way at least not to much and to make sure that somehow they can always do because they can demonstrate a certain kind of sorts of the sort of unity with regard to the u.s. involvement which they want to lead let's talk a little bit more about the u.s. involvement let's talk about why the u.s.

went into syria to begin with that is of course due to the so-called islamic state we know that the ultimate objective of the group was to establish this you know the so-called caliphate as they call it in the region now the group has lost most of the territory that they've once held how badly has been damaged well very badly i would say that it doesn't exist in its previous form anymore but i can tell you i'm in touch with people from the tribal areas where the dollars used to rule the so-called islamic state used to rule and they're still there. they are being badly critically wounded and damaged but if there is no political strategy to rebuild this area and it was decided like who's going to rule over it and do this in a constructive way they might very well return and i don't think they have disappeared one hundred percent as donor tribes and you could also see that some of his leading officers were saying that maybe ninety percent of the eyes of the

so-called islamic state has disappeared but certainly not all of it and i think there is a very very big chance that they might revive or other jihad is groups because they could claim that they are the only ones that are not currently working at the service or fighting at the service of any foreign power and one of the things that you know the powers have to have to consider fighting is what has survived here is their ideology of course you know both in the region and beyond we see in you know inspired. attackers for example most so-called islamic state how can one win a war against ideology. we don't have the time to discuss this but i can tell you this is the one million dollar question that all of the radicalization and to terrorism experts in themselves and it's a trial. game but certainly it needs a very very consistent strategy and a long breath but let me come back one more once more to this summit and to the u.s. position on this because it's very much related trumps promise was to fight to destroy

the so-called islamic state and he doesn't care about the complex situation on the ground post and. another promise was to push back iran evading interest in the region and i think we have to see even though it's sometimes erratic and sometimes not very coordinated i think this is the priority pushing out iran and i think he would be very happy to have a turkish and a russian role in syria as long as he can commit to ok can fulfill this election promise editor in chief of the if magazine thank you thank you. you're watching news still to come on the program the u.k. flops a new tax on sugary drinks this week a hit to the wall it aims to cut down on obesity we will ask for letters if they would welcome a similar move in germany and i think european country. well now we've had some stinging criticism today from the german justice minister describing facebook as a network of in tryouts parents the bad do they deserve that. sounds like it i mean

talk to some of those millions of users who've been affected by this story and i think they would say yes sir the social media platform is under fire for a massive data leak involving even more uses than first thought it now says eighty seven million people may have been exposed in the cambridge analytic of privacy scandal the british firm use the information without users consent to help us president donald trump's twenty sixteen election campaign. it is potentially the worst privacy scandal involving any social network and facebook has admitted its role on its corporate blog in a post the social media giant revealed changes to its privacy policy it also released figures about where users affected by the cambridge analytical privacy scandal came from the u.s. was the most affected but millions elsewhere are among those whose data may have been improperly shared after the u.s. uses in the philippines indonesia the u.k.

and mexico are among the most affected we can focus enough on preventing it and thinking through how you could use these tools to do harm as well and that goes for . foreign interference election beach in addition to developers and data privacy. where you take a broad enough view of what our responsibilities and i was a huge mistake it was it was my mistake that mock sack of berg will have to answer for in front of leading lawmakers in the us on april ten and eleven the social media giant c.e.o. will be testifying before the u.s. congress he will likely talk about how facebook uses and protects user data and his plans to limit use the data accessible to other companies. let's talk about this case of ethics falling victim to big business with my colleague mike all the explain the numbers first of all how did these huge numbers get even bigger well initially it was only fifty million that's what we all heard right that's what was

reported but now facebook said this morning that they have crunched the numbers again they've reanalyzed all the data and now this could be up to eighty seventy million facebook user profiles that cambridge and other another tech i got from facebook how did you get the data it was a small personality quiz app and even if you sign up for this app and we have friends on facebook it would have would have also gotten my data so it's crawled through friends networks cable thing is i'm not on facebook you are i have a whole lot of people have deleted their facebook profiles do we know how many well the last take the only really the only one who really knows is facebook about this morning said it had no meaningful impact. marketing from that monitors user numbers has even seen an increase since the scandal broke. so it seems people don't really care of course that was the big delete facebook hash tag it seems people are angry but the numbers seem not to be affected at the moment because nowhere else to go is that there is no so you obviously haven't deleted your what do you think of

facebook. i've gotten more careful over the years in the beginning i did these kind of quizzes all the time i was very free to share data you've got time to do those sorts of quizzes i did when i was at university city i noted now i mainly use facebook to see what my friends up to i don't really post a lot myself. what's going to change with facebook as far as its features go because it has promised change exactly what's going to be really interesting for everyone who is on facebook next monday you can go to facebook and see if your daughter has been has been stolen by cambridge analytic up next monday also faded and then sue i don't know maybe maybe people could try i don't know was going at it at least i hope at least you know where your daughter is than. also facebook will restrict the access for external apps to some of the profile information and also it won't be as easy to look for uses which was now possible by telephone numbers or

e-mail addresses they're also getting rid of that function is that going to be enough and i mean according to the europeans they want to see big change the german justice minister said that facebook lives off the trust of its users but it's gabble the way that trust is actually felt facebook is built on trust obviously the need our data for their business model and now it's obviously became clear that they have and protected our dates are enough it was easily accessible for phone like cambridge analytics so i guess we'll have to see how users behave in the future or if facebook has to massively change how they see business what's also been really interesting is the huge swings as far as facebook's stock market price goes and that's going to be really interesting next week when the c.e.o. mark zuckerberg faces congress what's going to happen there he's certainly going to get a grilling he certainly is going to be two congressional hearings and he'll have to answer how exactly all this private and personal use information got into the hands of a third party what's really interesting i think is that facebook so far has been very

eager to control what information is coming out and now marks like a book has to speak publicly and can be asked any type of question so be interesting to see what's coming out of the case they'll have to pull up his britches and watch out trouble could be coming his way mother thank you very much for coming in today for. got a sweet spot for this next story sarah absolutely but it's sweet not really in a good way here bad in fact because britain is looking to take its sugar habit to improve people's health the majority of adults in the u.k. are either overweight or obese which is often tied to various illnesses the government has launched a crackdown on the national sweet tooth with a tax on sugary drinks that goes into effect this week the goal get people to shed some weight. the scales and merciless but every player must get on and get weighed before each match. one and

a half kilos lying to the last time zac is on the right track and so is the rest of his team. you get bonuses for losing weight so to lose weight they get one go for it he has access and plenty of bonus goals he's already shed fifty one kilos his story will be familiar to many overweight as a child he was bullied by the time he turned twenty he was in despair but then he found football and the pounds started falling off. before used to do the football i was sitting at home on the sofa watching video that watching t.v. and playing video games. like football is sort of. thing that enjoyed. nowhere in europe has a spigot in obesity problem as the united kingdom type two diabetes has become an epidemic and the more excess pounds of fat

a person carries the more pounds sterling us spends on health care costs of more than five billion a year. the tax on sugar was unveiled two years ago but only comes into effect this friday soft drinks with more than five grams of sugar per one hundred milliliter will increase in cries the equivalent of an extra twenty one cents per liter at another seven cents to dance if there's more than eight grams of sugar. celebrity chef jamie oliver was one of the key campaigners for the levy on fizzy drinks. and. it's a symbolic slap and that's what we want to be you know how fine a business can do so well be so prolific and have genuinely track marks on. the tax has also had an indirect effect on sugar consumption it's good the drinks manufacturers an incentive to reduce the amount of sugar in their beverages

less sugar no tax. coca-cola classic was the only brand not to follow suit and change its recipe instead its bottles have become smaller the company points to its sugar free drinks as an alternative. you know what. coach michael falloon thinks this is just the beginning mind and body must work together to lose weight and now that the food industry is playing ball two goals might get a little bit easier to reach. and for more we hit the streets of berlin to find out what people here in germany think of putting a tax on sugary drinks i mean it's an idea it's worth a try i'm not sure if it's. a good. maybe you like for your health it's it's it's good i think this is. unreal i think this is a joke i don't think it's a good idea because. everyone being called of course

know. they can do this i think this is a good idea to. britain make a tax of. yes almost all of the year i think state regulation is a good idea because people aren't going to take any measures on their own initiative so it's all right for the state to intervene germany should copy this idea. so can you live without coca-cola yes they can because they don't like ok but i'd like. to would like a client so you can live without coca-cola. things as you drink a lot of sugary drinks yes i do you know you can't live without you know coca-cola and coffee on the. on the you watch indeed have you do still to come on the program he is one of the world's highest paid actors but bollywood superstar stollman khan is facing five years in prison for coaching and from hero to zero brazil's

four separate cases filed against him over the last twenty years related to the killing of protected animals and he's also in a separate case been accused of killing a man while driving under the influence and speeding in two thousand and two that was and he was cleared of that but you had earlier been charged with a five year jail sentence for that case as well which you then was cleared out so you have certainly not his first brush with the war controversy and speaking of this most recent controversy now i mean this killing in particular of endangered animals this actually dates back twenty years so why has he only been convicted now . well as as i said you know discuss this particular incident several incidents that took place during the filming of one particular movie in one thousand nine hundred eight there have been several cases about that over the last

twenty years there's been various legal proceedings and in any case in india india is notorious for the legal proceedings that can be drawn out in various ways and that's what's happened here as well. for three other cases and now this is the fourth one he has previously also been given a five year sentence for one of the other cases which then got suspended so these things this is how things tend to play out especially in celebrity cases here and now he has the right to appeal and will kind of see where where things go from here but certainly a landmark judgment today with a five year sentence. with the very latest thank you. brazil's former president luis inacio lula da silva has been eyeing a political comeback as the front runner in upcoming national elections but he is likely to soon be in jail the nation's top court has narrowly denied his request to

remain free pending an appeal for a bribery conviction is the biggest name yet to be toppled by prosecutors in a massive anti corruption investigation. after a marathon televised debate brazil's supreme court was deadlocked chief justice carmen lucci of then cast the deciding vote rejecting luis in the us your disability his bid for freedom while his conviction is appealed. last year lula was found guilty of taking bribes and sentenced to twelve years in prison. facility and are equally divided in opinion outside the court and to move the protesters celebrated the court's decision was. no i love you shouts one demonstrator. others were upset by the ruling. on a system is no different we are really worried for the future of our democracy in our fragile country that action by one we think history of institutional coups and

impeachments. only mean our democracy is weak we have sadness. under lou let's presidency from two thousand and three to two thousand and ten brazil saw its largest period of economic growth in three decades millions were lifted out of poverty but after he left office a corruption investigation allege that top level politicians including lula and then president rousseff had received bribes in exchange for awarding state contracts. lula has claimed the charges are an attempt to thwart his bid for president in october. i am a victim of the largest a radical hunt that a president or brazilian politician has ever faced. despite the corruption allegations latest opinion polls show that lula would win the election

by a wide margin but after the supreme court's ruling and facing the start of a prison term a political comeback seems unlikely. there were two big quarterfinals champions league quarter final games last night and with me here in studio to talk about all of the action is a matter man who is joining us from our sports desk so matt and all english class share did it live up to the hype oh well in terms of it being an even match which is what a lot of us expected absolutely not it was a three nil win for liverpool but in terms of it being surprising absorbing football it delivered one hundred percent who were all over man city from the outset they were up one nil after just twelve minutes with most applying the finish outs played chamberlain with an absolute laser of a goal to make it two nil side your money made it three nil and suddenly it was a rout at half time city were totally ineffective in this match i don't think they

they forced a single save from liverpool keeper morris carr yes. it seems like maybe the job might be done for liverpool three no one did pretty good but if you're in quote their coach not willing to go there and grow rich i love you and all we're three and up that's better than being three no down 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 they didn't create the norm the meet the usual number of chances. ok i met liverpool fans i mean they attacked the manchester city bus they did meanwhile tell us a little bit more about that yeah absolutely intense atmosphere before this game. the way enfield is situated in liverpool it is situated on a not very big street in a not very nice neighborhood which means opposing teams have to run the gauntlet and they really made them you know put them through the wringer this time they were

setting off flares throwing bottles throwing cans some reports of throwing rocks police did not seem to have control of the situation that these are pictures now from the inside of the manchester city bus taken by one of the assistant coaches showing what the players and coaches were going through as they approached the stadium that's a pretty imposing atmosphere i mean after the game with some of the players were asked about this they sort of said they were taking it in stride however pep guardiola sort of harkening back to what happened last year with with bruce you don't have much more serious situation said you know this is maybe not something that players and coaches should have to be put through the champions league. i didn't expect does it for the people but you know no one you know go the top and something in the morning so we come here to play football to the spores you know and i don't understand this kind of situation so ok nobody nothing happened the bus

is destroyed but. i didn't expect for no club of disparate still use like libor to do disco things. so lots of drama there outside of the meantime getting back on the pitch let's go to a different pitch because it wasn't the only match last night tell us a little bit more about barcelona yeah barcelona one of the favorites for this competition surely they may very easy work of yes roma roma probably the most surprising quarter finalist what kind of help barcelona along with two own goals in the course of this match daniella to rossi in the first half and then another later on in the match for medals cost us by the time roma star striker it in jacko put them up on the board he was making it you know three to one so it ended four one to barcelona it was really quite a workaday home win for that team and i think that they are going to be cruising into the semifinals with a lot of wind in their sails if you're right matt herman from sports desk thank you

. two of argentina's biggest football clubs have been caught up in a child sex abuse scandal former youth players from independent a river plucked a reported suffering abuse in separate cases so far five men suspected of being part of a child prostitution ring at independence day have been arrested. one of self america's most successful and best supported club sides independent entity have lifted the continental coper limited daughter's trophy a record seven times but these fans are now seeing their club implicated in a case of sexual abuse the club filed the case with prosecutors this week after members of its used team claim to have been the victims of a prostitution ring the investigation has sent shock waves through a football obsessed nation. we all know the video of diego maradona as a little kid when someone asked him what he wanted to do when he was older he said

to play in a world cup it's this kind of childlike innocence that enabled these perpetrators to reach kids and abuse them. the allegations came to light after a member of the club's used team broke down during a session with a psychologist prosecutors say they have so far found seven victims and a possible ten others. but the allegations aren't confined to one club river plate argentina's most successful domestic side or assisting or forty's over abuse suffered by its youth players between two thousand and four and two thousand and eleven. police raided the club's offices on tuesday as part of that investigation matters were further complicated when an argentine t.v. personality alleged links between the independent a sex scandal and local journalists these claims were denied by investigators. no artist no journalist no television host is involved in our case.

allegations of abuse of emerged in other sports argentine as a limpid committee also fall complaints of sexual abuse against the gymnastics coach this week a nation which is so often looked to sport as a source of hope is now searching for answers. you're watching news still to come on the program as the u.s. wraps up its hunt for the man behind the holocaust the fate of an elderly prison guard causes a diplomatic dispute. but first wild market swings for global equities then fizzle and has a story in a rebound like this there are in a long time here in europe from what traders thought to be the onset of a trade war a huge slide yesterday for both equities and commodities and now an ecstatic line straight up as the dax and his friends shot for the moon gains of well above two percent and it's all because we're getting a very different message from the trumpet ministrations today it signaled possible wiggle room in the trade spat with china u.s.

trade secretary robel ross saying he'd like to reach a trade agreement with china soon and the president's economic advisor larry could load questioning whether the announced tariffs will ever take effect. or critics consider the u.s. president and his protectionist policies a threat to global trade though trump says he needs to impose barriers to lower his nation's huge trade deficit which he claims is hurting the american economy the u.s. has imported more goods than it's exported for years deficit reaching almost eight hundred billion u.s. dollars last year trade flows with china really unbalanced the u.s. imported chinese goods with five hundred billion dollars but only sold them one hundred thirty billion back the u.s. trade deficit with the e.u. is around one hundred fifty billion dollars a lot fueled by germany's export heavy economy it's responsible for almost a quarter of all e.u. exports to the united states time to rope in our financial markets reporter only by

standing by in frankfurt ali just tell me is there any other way of fighting such a big trade deficit than imposing tariffs. well you can devalue your currency what does that mean that means you make the dollar less valuable and thus everything you export becomes more attractive to people let's say in china or in europe because they can buy a cheaper the u.s. currency is cheaper for them so they buy more and. you save jobs at home the chinese have been doing that for many years for many years now although it's slowly eased the control over their currency so the currency has revalued a bit it's gone up a bit but that has helped them tremendously the u.s. can't really do that anymore considering how they important they are internationally and because interest rates are going up in the united states any attention would put fizzle out anyways now as far as this potential trade wall goes

i mentioned the signals of wiggle room coming from the u.s. administration but who would have to be the first to back down to defuse the entire situation or end the dispute the u.s. or china. but i think if you were in the schoolyard you'd say donald trump you started it so he should. but that's not very well that's not very realistic in the schoolyard it always wasn't either is perhaps you experienced i certainly experienced but diplomatically you can make it seem as if both are backing down at the same time and coming in negotiations to mutually acceptable agreements you know slashing some tariffs that are important to them but and aiding the other and vice versa whether they actually come to that level we don't really know exactly if you want to talk about kids just briefly we've got two big personalities involved here the best u.s. president ever in his old was and also a president a life as we found out recently. that's right i think the chinese president is in

a better position domestically and all in all because he's probably the most powerful he is that he's ever going to get he could afford to back down first but he could use that power to put pressure on trump it will be hard from all the buzz thank you. and in just hours before the u.s. trade deficit widened even further in february the sixth month in a row get ready for an angry tweet from trump well that would ease the nerves of pork producers in the states or rely on the chinese but it might be nice for these guys. china has a huge appetite for pork that's why the country not only relies on its own meat but also imports it from other countries u.s. pork farmers are one of the suppliers the u.s. exports twenty six percent of its meat now china has added a new tariff on u.s. pork products china is a particularly important market last year we sent one point one billion dollars of pork to china that made it the second largest export market by volume so it's

a it's a disappointment producers say that one hundred ten thousand jobs in rural america are directly tied to exports of pork a trade war could put some of these at risk if u.s. port gets too expensive for chinese clients it's in great demand around the world but right now because of. uncertainty around the situation with china with other export markets like you know the situation with nafta in mexico and canada it has pork producers and others in agriculture nervous about investments to take advantage of what is great demand for our product right now the white house has proposed twenty five percent tariffs on some one thousand three hundred chinese products it only took china eleven hours to respond with a list of similar duties on american goods. they quick back to sara and a former nazi concentration camp got awaiting deportation but nobody wants him and it turns out that you know he worked at

a concentration camp in nazi occupied poland a job that he says he was forced to do he later immigrated to the united states fifteen years ago a court there ruled that he had assisted in the persecution of jewish prisoners in the camp judges said he should be deported to germany poland ukraine or any country that would take him but so far all have refused allowing the ninety four year old to live out his retirement in a neighborhood of new york. to his neighbors he's just the old man next door he doesn't come out much jackie foley used to be a nazi prison guard he wants to live out his life in peace. rabbis if friedman head of a nearby jewish school says polly's old age should not absolve him of his past friedman and the students of organized protests in front of police house twice a year for fifteen years calling for his deportation both my parents and in-laws

are holocaust survivors were the last two hundred plus family members in the holocaust and the fact that a nazi murderer continues to live here in close proximity to a jewish neighborhood is outrageous. the protests of course the attention of the trumpet ministration which has promised to do what it can to have polly deported in fact a federal court already made the first move in two thousand and three it stripped poly of his u.s. citizenship after hearing that he had work to travel nicky a nazi training and internment camp in poland. it was there that polly allegedly oversaw the forced labor of prisoners and prevented them from escaping six thousand jews were executed trav nicky near the end of the second world war but records show that polly was not there at the time this missing link makes pollies deportation case different from other nazis that germany has agreed to take from the u.s.

yes rummel heads the official german legal team pursuing x. nazis he cannot speculate on why the german government won't accept an extradition but he says the case is more complicated than it seems. that's the. current belief that what would be actionable in germany would be. accessory to murder for him. in our assessment the available evidence is not strong enough to bring charges if. the child nikki camp went through very different phases jury in which the men who worked there had very different functions simply guarding buildings or prisoners is not incriminating if no link to the killing of people can be shown if. he's in vancouver. rosenbaum has prosecuted nazis in the u.s. for over twenty years police is the last active case rosenbaum thinks germany has

a moral obligation to help we need to send a message to the would be participants in human rights crimes of the future if they dare do so that they will continue to be pursued their lives will never be. they will always have to worry. authorities. even into old age. we tried to talk with ali but he didn't come to the door nor cool's given his age if the u.s. and germany fail to agree on polly's case soon time may close the case for them. as seen there from transit a new film by german director christiane salt which is now under general. and joining us here in the studio to talk

a little bit more about that film and the director is our very own robin meryl from our culture that's welcome to you robyn so for those who do not know and tell us a little bit more about christian that's what he's been making films actually for over twenty years and they're invariably about people. you could say wrestling with their identity if you like scaping something perhaps be it the war or is it german reunification whatever it is he makes ingenious films have to say that make you think this film transit is about a man who's on the run from the nazis in occupied france or issues the identity of a dead man kind of by mistake he gets hold of his papers so he thinks this might help and he then meets a woman who's looking for missing husbands and guess what yes he is actually the missing house while he's pretending to be the missing husband so let's see some more about the film. it.

appears to be. i feel it is on the run from the nazis. in must say he goes into hiding hoping to board a ship to mexico before the city falls to the approaching fascists. he falls in love with marie who's also in a type of limbo transit as the name suggests plays with the state of being neither here nor there a static in between us rather than a narrative driven story a master for justice my when you're flaming you're not always on the run is that you can be stuck just waiting i think our characters very tired just going from one

day to the next. director christian petzold adapted on a seeger's world war two novel about refugees waiting to leave europe updating the action to present a must say or to do about i don't. think is novel becomes a drama for our time. but you know what you mean. the three with today's influx of refugees or storm or whatever you want to call it how do we react. change the law and i think that's an acceptable. does is to put each of them. in transposing the setting to the present day transit allows for political parallels

the characters like ghosts of the past in modern day must say. and this is not the first film to deal with symbolical says it. actually came through to international attention with his loss from phoenix now this is about a woman who survived the holocaust and actually has to undergo surgery on her face because she was shot in the face now she comes back to berlin the husband doesn't recognize the guy with the identity thing again it was played by nina hall so who was in all of pat's old film except the new on transit and wanted to music fans brought recognizer because actually she's been gigging with man manic street preachers is the well and she was actual my last name holmes oh ok interesting stuff robin merrill from our culture desk thank you so much for joining us to tell
