8:02 pm
released on bail pending a decision on his extradition to spain the surprise announcement reverses an earlier decision which refused to grant put him on bail as he was deemed a flight risk. we have live pictures for you right here push one is currently being held at this a building this prison in northern germany it was arrested by german police last month acting on a european arrest warrant he's wanted in spain on charges of inciting a rebellion. aren't and you have used thomas joins us to break all of this down for us good evening thomas how much of a surprise is this development. this development can be considered as a prize they lie in particular because of that elements that you yourself mentioned that case of rebellion which the court in because time in northern germany has now determined that is not comparable when you're looking at the charges in spain and in germany it's important to stress that this whole case has hinged on precisely
8:03 pm
that aspect whether the charges that are leveled against him in spain are in any way comparable to charges here in germany because that is one of the preconditions of the european arrest warrant under which he was arrested in northern germany a few days ago now obviously the court has determined that in the case of rebellion which is the major charge of the two that is not applicable that is not comparable to germany in particular because according to the courts of the german version of rebellion must have an element of violence which the court can say does is not a political in the case of puts them on and that said the case is still ongoing mr puts them on and can still face extradition on a lesser charge namely the misappropriation of public funds but in general you can say that because of this this development is only a surprising one all right now he will be out on bail what's stopping him from
8:04 pm
leaving the country as germany continues to decide on possibly extraditing him they lead to still unclear what exactly mr puts them on will do but what the court dates say in that two page statement we received a while ago is that he is now less of a risk of flight precisely because of the elements that i mentioned namely that that case of rebellion should not be considered and is not comparable between german and spanish law but again that said it is still unclear what mr porter simone's exactly next steps will be this is only a development that come in that came in the last. minutes so we will have to wait to understand what he will be doing next and of course yes the still very fluid situation tell us about the course reasoning here it's saying x. addition on corruption charges could be possible but not charges of rebellion there are two elements to this case namely rebellion and the misappropriation of public
8:05 pm
funds and when you have a case on the european arrest warrant you have to look at whether the countries involved have similar or at least comparable charges in this case whether the charges of rebellion misappropriation in spain are in any way comparable to the charges in a couple here in germany with the first case namely with a rebellion the court decided that it was not the case but with misappropriation they decided that it couldn't still make up its mind that it could still be the case and that it needs to continue the investigation as to whether he could be extradited on this specific case tom aspera reporting there on that breaking news that mr carlos put him up has been granted bail. all right to the u.k. now where there's been a development in the poisoning case of sergei script all and his daughter yulia a short while ago she issued a statement by british police confirming that she's awake but disoriented after the attack that initially left her critically ill her statement came immediately after
8:06 pm
recording released by russian state television purporting to be a conversation between yulia script all and her cousin britain and russia have been fighting to control the flow of information about the case and what's become a full blown diplomatic crisis is you know all right let's bring our correspondents your shadow in moscow and kitty logan standing by in lending a very good evening to you both want to start off with you here in moscow tell us a little bit more about this recording. between the u.s. cripple and her cousin. well during the conversation us cripple senator that everything was fine everything could be solved everybody is recovering and to that all life she also said her father said a good script was doing well she said that he is it was asleep for us that she would soon leave the hospital even all right tell us how they how how this program this broadcaster got ahold of this recording and if we know if it's really
8:07 pm
a script all if it was indeed you get a script i was aware that she was being recorded all that's a good question from of the very beginning russia has called play into that it had been completely lucked out to both from the investigation and from access to the two boys and russian citizens some even assume to that the two war not poisoned but earlier today a day russian told show unexpectedly out this recording of an alleged telephone conversation between the u.s. crew pilot her cousin victoria allegedly this recording was given by victoria script all herself to the russian public broadcaster a c.e.o. one nobody knows whether this recording was real or fake even the present us of the show admitted that they weren't sure about it but in the russian media this was all or disintegrated as a potential breakthrough in the poisoning affair all right a potential breakthrough it kitty the u.k. police then on behalf of you their script all released
8:08 pm
a statement i suggest that we put that statement on screen so we know exactly what it said it said i woke up over a week ago now and i'm glad to say my strength is growing daily i'm grateful for the interest in me and for the many messages of goodwill that i have received i'm sure you appreciate that the entire episode is somewhat disorienting and i hope that you'll respect my privacy and that of my family during the period of my convalescence. kitty the u.k. is playing catch up here. yes it is but this is a by interesting time it said in its statement to come out from your script well because it means a few things says what it means that she's well and recovering and she says that it has statement of but it also means she's fit enough for the police to question her and to try and get a little bit more information from her about what may have happened if she's able to recall anything that's relevant investigation but certainly this has been
8:09 pm
a big breakthrough for the british police in the investigation which is obviously still go on going in seoul's brain as we speak and it will go on for some time to come but yes in terms of the p.r. war with russia u.k. is very much on the but we also saw the russian ambassador to the cape today gave a very loyal press conference very detailed questions from journalists it was for cars here in all the t.v. news channels as well as the russians that you get its message out and that message remains is there is no evidence they want a joint investigation that's not happening now this thing they want to have international observers as part of ukraine destination all right lots of developments going on today today because in the meantime u.s. diplomats were expelled who are expelled by russia are on their way home part of the massive diplomacy fallout of this story i want to take a look at how that unfolded and then we're going to continue our conversation. departing on bad terms sixty american diplomats pack their bags and board buses at dawn they're leaving the u.s.
8:10 pm
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 surrogates cripple 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. it's 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. 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
8:11 pm
to carry out the investigation but russia says that the u.k. cannot ignore its questions about the legitimacy of its claims. all right kitty moscow continues to seriously deny any involvement in the poisoning of the script files any size of british authorities might contemplate showing the evidence where the poison came from just the latest matter to rest once and for all. well yes and there must be we believe good reason for them to be withholding this evidence because one strong elements of that evidence is thought to be intelligence and of course the government will be reluctant to expose those intelligence sources it has probably we think shared those intelligence sources with other leaders a twin sample in the e.u. germany and in other countries which is why it's had so much international backing where it starts and of course this also plays into russia's hands russia's saying shows the evidence proves what we've done it's asking for independent investigators
8:12 pm
to be part of this whole investigation into what happened in schools break is also denying today's press conference in london that it even made this nerve agent nobody talked so the government here very much on the back foot unless it can come forward with some more solid evidence and that maybe it's us and it's unable to work its way out because if you get a government comes who sources that may compromise the investigation all right and russia is now taking his case to the un security council can you logan reporting from london and you're either shadow or reporting from moscow i thank you both too sir leo now we're in a narrow election victory has propelled julius made a bio to the president state and his defeated opponent some are come our eye has said he will challenge the result will be zero security fifty one point eighty one percent of votes he once ruled the country at the head of the military went up but at his swearing in he promised he was ready to lead sierra leone to a brighter future. sweeping out the old voters in sierra leone have

8:31 pm
a front runner in upcoming national elections this fall instead he's likely headed to jail soon i made the nations the top court has narrowly denied his request to remain a free man and an appeal for bribery conviction is the biggest name yet to be toppled by prosecutors in a massive anti corruption investigation that has shaken the nation. the supreme court ruling is deepening divisions in brazil over lewis in the us euro distilled his case some here in sao paulo say the decision to reject this bid to stay out of jail was a step in the right direction this is. the supreme court's decision yesterday was a good one it shows that justice still prevails against a really powerful person. it's now very likely that lula will be behind bars within days even as his party val's to fight his imprisonment and claims he will still run for reelection later this year but some are still questioning whether he will in fact go to prison. and this is also
8:32 pm
a huge equal up give up i'm not sure whether he will go to jail or not. but it wasn't just him stealing oh gee i think this should be done to a lot of other politicians to not just him it's not just guys a state is a cool thing. and a list presidency from two thousand and three until two thousand and eleven brazil sorts largest period of economic growth in three decades millions were lifted out of poverty but after he left office a corruption investigation alleged that top level politicians and clued in lula and then president dilma rousseff had received bribes in exchange for awarding state contracts. has claimed the charges are an attempt to thwart his bid for president in october. q i'm a victim of the largest judicial hunt that a president or a brazilian politician has ever had. despite the corruption allegations latest opinion polls suggest that lula would win the election by
8:33 pm
a wide margin but after the supreme court's ruling and with the prospect of a person to live faces big hurdles to a political comeback. moshe's running high in brazil marina lopez is the brazil correspondent for the washington post and she joins us now from sao paulo good to see you explain to us what's going on so you've got the former president of brazil also happens to be the front runner in the upcoming a presidential election going to jail. that's right lou lou was leading the polls for our election coming up in october and he pitches presidency with the streamlined high approval ratings back in two thousand and eleven so he's been wanting to make a comeback ever since this corruption investigation and the charges are really selling any chances he has of making a comeback he heads back out but he's going to continue his campaign even if he has to do so behind bars brazillian not technically prevent him from running as a candidate but the workers' party does not have a plan b.
8:34 pm
right now the brazilian left has been left in complete disarray they're struggling to find a charismatic candidate that can fill those shoes right now you know as you know better than anybody else is such a towering figure how will this decision be seen by of resilience and what does it mean for the election is it still considered legitimate and is he completely now disqualified from running. you know there's really nobody quite like in brazilian politics where the working class can get it that worked its way up he started as a union organizer and made it to the presidency of brazil so a lot of people understandably feel if you noticed all the different larry the economy was doing great at the time an estimated twenty million people were taken out of poverty during his mandate that a lot of people him as the ultimate target for this corruption scandal he kept is the mastermind behind the corruption. scheme here in brazil so the mood of the
8:35 pm
stream league kind of the country is divided about whether he should be in prison or not now i think the legitimacy of the election his supporters will claim that this is the wider plot to disqualify him and the workers' party they are saying that the that the elections are fraudulent because of biz and they claim that they will continue to run even if it means running from prison a lot of brazilians though do you see this is the start of a new chapter in resilient history that is going to be left my impression is what we've seen in the past all right marina lopez of brazil correspondent for the washington post thank you so much for joining us. on the next to the fate of an elderly prison guard that is causing a diplomatic dispute the case pull a worked at a concentration camp in nazi occupied poland a job he says he was forced to do he later emigrated to the u.s. fifteen years ago
8:36 pm
a court there ruled that he had assisted in the persecution of jewish prisoners at the camp judge just 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 new york. to his neighbors he's just the old man next door he doesn't come out much yucky fully used to be a nazi prison guard he wants to live out his life in peace. rabbis 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 lost two hundred plus family members in the holocaust and the fact that a nazi murderer continues to live here in close proximity to
8:37 pm
a jewish neighborhood is outrageous. the protests of caught 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 romel heads the official german legal team pursuing x. nazis he cannot speculate on why the german government won't accept an extradition
8:38 pm
but he says the case is more complicated than it seems. that's the. current belief that won't 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 tribe nikky camp went through very different phases during 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 . rosenbaum has prosecuted nazis in the us 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 that if they dare do so that they will continue to be pursued their lives will never be.
8:39 pm
they will always have to worry. authorities. even into old age. we tried to talk with polly but he didn't come to the door nor coles given his age if the u.s. and germany failed to agree on policies case soon time may close the case for them . all right and with me now in the studio is a man a see if he is one of the reporters who worked on that story good to have you with us here i mean in person what's really striking is of course the story of rabbi friedman who has been demonstrating outside police house for fifteen years why has nothing happened well it's certainly not for lack of evidence. he. in case like this deportation is really complicated if you don't have
8:40 pm
a country that will accept you so far germany poland and ukraine have all refused to accept him and it's even more complicated in his case because he was born in a part of poland that is now ukraine so neither of those countries have accepted him as a responsibility there and there's also a sense there's not really a sense of urgency because it's not very political it's not a political issue right now like mexican deportations are so it's not in the news having said that though the current administration has gotten involved ok tell us about that well they have made a statement the attorney general has stated that they're going to use every available channel to them to help deport. to especially to germany but it doesn't seem like they have any available channels left to them ok now we've had heard the u.s. department justice in that quote saying that germany has a moral obligation to take back a pulley what does germany have to say about that well german the german government refused to comment for this report that we did what we do know back in two thousand
8:41 pm
and six the german ambassador to the u.s. said that they don't believe germany is responsible for him that's what i explained they they believe that poland and ukraine should take him as a matter of citizenship but they also don't believe that there's a case against poly because he has not been linked to any specific murders or accessory to murder so this is really complicated are there any precedents to go by certainly there have been thirty deportations from the us of ex nazis back to germany but like i said it's very a. bureaucratic process and many of them died before they went to trial polly's case is not a strong is them and he's ninety three years old so a lot of people believe that the case will solve itself right i mean thank you so much for bringing us the support story greatly appreciate it. and i'm going to hand you over to javier now because there's been more rumbling trade disputes with us thank you very much leyla indeed it's not only china u.s. president donald trump just recently again threatened to end the north american
8:42 pm
free trade agreement mexico canada and the u.s. are currently renegotiating the deal terminations would be a major blow to mexico's thriving car industry a reporter gauge the mood among people in the state of puebla where many foreign carmakers set up their factories. today's lesson is focused on the body of work every screw every wire of a car needs to be in the right place eighteen year old yarra gonzalez started training here seven months ago it's a year in a row that audi mexico has taken on new apprentices. when we were young was the first week was really exciting especially the first day to see where i'd be training and learning that up and then i saw the q five for the first time would you make here in mexico. jaros one of eighty doing a three year apprenticeship based on the german deal truck training system. young skilled workers are in demand here as long as mexico keeps producing for the
8:43 pm
