8:01 pm

8:02 pm
hours how to respond to a suspected chemical weapons attack on civilians in the syrian conflict with the trump condemns saturday's attack as anus it is said to have killed at least forty people including children in a separate development syria and its main ally russia blamed israel for an overnight missile attack on a syrian air base monitors say at least fourteen people were killed in that incident. missiles flare in the dark hours of the morning according to russian and syrian military they were fired from two israeli fighter jets although israel has declined to comment the missiles found their target an air base in the province of homs used by the syrian regime and its allies at least fourteen fighters were killed according to observers days earlier bombs fell on the town of duma in eastern guta the last remaining rebel stronghold it's alleged they were carrying poison gas according to observers at least forty people were killed and hundreds
8:03 pm
wounded in the attack many of the victims were children said to be smelling strongly of chlorine leading a wave of international condemnation the u.s. president donald trump insists the syrian government will pay a big price for using the gas and he says action is imminent like to begin by condemning the here's tack on innocence here is. with bin chemical weapons it was in the proceeds of course. it was horrible we are meeting with our military and everybody else. it's a major decisions over the next twenty four to forty eight hours the civilians in eastern could have endured weeks of pump argument as the syrian government tries to root out opposition many have now given up evacuating the region in bus convoys to territory still under rebel control syria denies its government forces launched
8:04 pm
a chemical assault it says its troops are dancing on duma without any need for poison gas feelings will be running high when the united nations security council meets to discuss its response to the gas attack. the deadly washington correspondent for norman joined me earlier we spoke about mr trump syria policy. a couple of days ago he said that he wanted to pull the us out of syria now he says there will be a big price to pay for the chemical strike that the u.s. doesn't seem to have a coherent strategy on syria at the moment well yes that's true that's at least a war to many military experts say criticizing donald trump and you're right only a couple of days ago he and now it's at that was something he was thinking about for a while now that he would liked pull out of syria only to tweet after this horrific attack that there is
8:05 pm
a price that would be would be paid so no many experts here say that he if he doesn't follow through if he doesn't live up to this swedes he might be looking very weak in the eyes of russia and iran and that not staking action would be a moral and strategic fiasco so the president right now is in the very difficult situation and he has been even criticized in his own party senator john mccain tweeted for example that he thinks that the president's announcement to pull out of syria has emboldened regime so on the one hand the u.s. is saying that it's going to find out who is responsible on the other we heard from the russian foreign minister. verse far as the russians are concerned concerned there was no chemical attack. the u.n. security council meeting later would do things like you to come out of that.
8:06 pm
well the united states friends and britain and others has called for this emergency meeting to demand immediate access for first responders to this area to support an independent investigation into what happened and to hold accountable those responsible for what happened in syria but russia also attempted to schedule and never a rival meeting because they argue that what happened in syria should be discussed and issue of terrorism and threats to international security in the clear at sams to protect the syrian government and to deflect international condemnation eventually they agreed to have only one meeting but you can see how divided the u.n. security council is on what to do to stop the slaughter in syria. i was on the
8:07 pm
phone normal in washington thank you for hunger is nationalist prime minister viktor orban when i decisive victory in the country's general election right wing fish party has once again taken more than two thirds of parliamentary seats for a campaign that took a hard line on muslim immigration betraying migrants as a threat to hungary's christian identity and his victory speech was to open the result gave hungary and the chance to defend themselves and their country. victory is written in his name. nationalist across hungry and europe are celebrating victory or bans reelection his anti immigrant campaign drew people out in record numbers but in the capital budapest where the opposition performed well the reaction was mixed. much well the government has successfully implemented its hate campaign they planted hatred in people's hearts which is very sad. that this is
8:08 pm
what should have happened we are happy because we are not really interested in immigrants and that's what's at stake now. if you will. if this tendency continues then we won't be heading towards a liberal country in my view we will not represent european values and that makes me deeply sad. just measures. despite being in a new member hungary has refused to implement the blocks migrant resettlement program or been has like an migration to rust and poison a threat which he said his win would stave off. there's a big battle behind us. we have won a crucial victory got a chance gave ourselves a chance to defend hungary. for bands reelection has energized right wing parties creating emancipation from the bloc several european politicians congratulated or ban including germany's conservative interior
8:09 pm
minister who also issued a warning to the e.u. . i would advise the european union to maintain sensible bilateral relationships with its member states but secularly with smaller ones such as hungary because when i've always considered it wrong to manifest arrogance on paternalism towards individual member states. for shit. four bands feed as party one almost half the vote which gives them the two thirds supermajority needed to introduce sweeping reforms and head of the election or ban promise to take what he called moral political and legal action against his opponents. so how well mr obama's victory be viewed within the european union don't do correspond to a vessel joins us from brussels welcome so look to obama's hungary has been on the collision course with the e.u. for some time he has allies who's likely to give way on the issue of the
8:10 pm
distribution of migrants within the block. i'll suddenly feel the european union will give way because it has largely understood now that it is impossible to sort of inforce even the verdict of the european court of justice and sort of force hungary to take in a couple of thousand migrants and this is what we're talking about here this whole battle viktor orban is has been talking about in his election campaign and then in his speech last night that with which we just saw again is of course imaginary all this is sheer propaganda we all know these are been won his election was this sort of propaganda and so the european union has to live with the consequences so it will give way and also it will have to give way and in a way on abundant greenman this summer to form and reform the. general. policy in the european union that will be sort of pushed off and they can
8:11 pm
kick into the long grass but i think to all the development was viktor orban is just beginning because if he will now crack down on n.g.o.s is he promised crackdown for instance on the international university in budapest then brussels will have to react again so we'll just see a continuation of the struggle. given this wave of right wing popular resume that seems to be sweeping through europe and apparently gathering strength on the back of the migrant issue why has it been so difficult for the e.u. to accept what appears to be increasing will of the people and change its course. we really have to look at things here in detail phil forty eight percent about voted for victor organ and his feet of party and he only gets this large number of seats in the anger and problem and because he rig the election system in advance in his own favor he won the election on the back off
8:12 pm
a propaganda come pain that you would not call democratic and any more because it was it was anti-semitic and it sort of fulfilled all the requirements of sort of somebody who wants to become an autocratic and non-democratic ruler so should follow that wait my personal answer would be no and so far the large majority of democracies in europe says no to do that particular policy that viktor orban is showing in his country and that we are seeing. in poland already so that's what we see at the moment is liberal democracy under threat in europe cautiously would probably have to answer that question with a yes. proposal in brussels thank you. and i'm sure some of the other stories making news around the world former south korean president lee myung bak has been charged with corruption is accused of receiving some ten million dollars in bribes
8:13 pm
from groups including his country's intelligence service was delayed was in office from two thousand and eight stu two thousand and thirteen is indictment comes three days after his successor part going to hey received a twenty four year prison sentence for her part in a separate corruption scandal. at least five people have been injured in a strong earthquake that struck western japan early on monday morning the six point one magnitude tremor was felt across a wide area roads and buildings were damaged in the hardest hit city of oda where the water supply has been disrupted and all sorts of dispatched supply vehicles to help affected households. the democratic republic of congo five rangers and their driver have been killed in an ambush of the national park seen here an archive footage the park's director or the director of the park which is one of the world's last centuries for endangered mountain gorillas as blame the attack on militia man
8:14 pm
over the last two decades more than one hundred fifty rangers have been killed protecting the power nigeria's president mohamed who hardly has confirmed that he will seek a second term and next year's elections the move follows months of speculation over his political future and last year the seventy five year old spent months out of a country in a british hospital being treated for an undisclosed illness leaving many nigerians wondering whether he is fit for office and i'm sure in stock market fell to a three month low following today's announcement. for the dublin correspondent adam creech joins us from nigeria's commercial capital lagos welcome arjun did this announcement come as a surprise. well speculation full has been ongoing for a long time people were really hotly debating whether we will run for a second term or not that it comes today the very same day where he travels once
8:15 pm
again to long on that is a surprise indeed because as you said he spent a lot of time in london last year more than one hundred days he went there for medical treatments and of course when hear that he's traveling there once again rumors came up again will he really go there on an official visit as it was announced by his spokesperson or will you seek medical treatment once again and it is quite likely that the spokesperson and the president himself are trying to get rumors under control with announcement today so if he has been so sick for so much of his presidency why is he running again good question when he came back last year however he said that he's fine he has had medical issues but now he is much better but he never revealed what the problem really was and more and more nigerians are questioning whether this seventy five year old man who has obviously still medical issues is still fits to get the tremendous issues that this country is facing under control so how people reacted to this
8:16 pm
announcement. well of course diehard supporters are very happy about it they have been looking forward to it for a long time they basically mainly credit for his aggressive fight against corruption is considered as one of the very few politicians in the country who are not corrupt and who are really trying to fight this problem in the country but of course there are also others who are not so happy about it especially here in the economic capital lagos i went out to talk to a couple of people today and most of them are not happy at all especially about the way he is trying to get the economic problems under control you might want to remember that nigeria is very much oil dependent and when he took office the oil price collapse this is of course something you can't blame me for but it has it's had a strong impact on the economy here expenditures from the state side went down and a lot of people here are criticizing me for an inappropriate reaction on this problem here's what they have to say i thought he did not perform with i don't see
8:17 pm
any point to that second thing so i don't think. i'm good good idea of his accountant thought of it who maybe that i've been a good job for a day. had nothing to offer and everybody's complaining about his performance. doesn't complain we. might start to look it's not. the change from used is going to break its own roots and also i don't. believe. you should just give up on the show let's give you a chance to another person dies. because routine of going done already we needed change so what progress has president bihari made on his promise to tighten security and crack down on corruption even briefly if you wouldn't mind. well in terms of corruption yes he has intensified the war against corruption but
8:18 pm
results are little there's hardly any high ranking police and was convicted in terms of the war against terror yes he also made progress the military managed to regain a lot of the territories that book with your part before but has been repeatedly saying that the group is technically defeated and this is simply not true there's still attacks almost on a weekly basis in the north east of the country just two months ago a group of school girls was abducted once again still more than one hundred of the chibok girls who were abducted four years ago by boko haram are still in the hands of the terrorists so it's simply not true to say that the issue is under control and while he is trying to tackle this issue on this side of the country others are boiling up kidnappings for ransom in one side of the country and the other side in the middle belt we have increasingly seeing texts off herdsman and farmers their collections there was hundreds of people who died and many people don't believe that we can tackle these issues either in creation like us thank you business with. germany's biggest bank has got itself
8:19 pm
a new boss that's right and we were talking about deutsche bank germany's not only biggest but formerly most renowned bank and then you see all those name is christian xiv ing and he's been with for years now that will make his task of ramping up finances easier though and he knows that in a letter published this monday's evening says there is no time to relax shares of budget bank have gone up but investors want to see revenue rise to christian saving knows deutsche bank from the inside out the new c.e.o. has spent nearly thirty years there rising from an apprentice to the head of auditing to board member so he knows what he's getting into saving replaces john cryan who took over three years ago the englishman was able to settle numerous legal disputes he downsized the bank's underperforming investment banking division cutting jobs but years of fines and penalties dragged business down.
8:20 pm
deutsche bank is in a permanent state of crisis under cry and ten year the bank struggled to contain its losses cutting those losses is christian savings top priority and that means he'll have to untangle his predecessor's mistakes most experts think that means deutsche bank will be returning to its roots in the traditional banking sector that seems to keep investors happy deutscher shares as we mentioned rallied on the news of savings of quite meant earlier we asked the banking sector analyst one spit a book or if he was celebrating the arrival of a new c.e.o. at germany's most important back well not really but i want to give new people a fair chance and i think you will have a fair chance he's got to condition to get a bank moving now as the worst hopefully is over. so with a fair chance there's a real good perspective that ought to bank will at least have a profit not a big profit but a profit says yeah. we'll see about that i'll be back with more business news later
8:21 pm
on until then it's back to you phil have a thank you. group of farmers in ecuador so tempting to elevate chocolate to the level of fine wine aged whiskey and cognac barrels for two years before being pressed into bars you're about to witness the most expensive chocolate bar in the world. at five am even before his chickens of crowed seven per child is up and about making his morning took it to the accompaniment of early bird song he's a fine his family has been working the land for four generations. he's also raising six children on his own like his forefathers before him servia wants to live at one
8:22 pm
with nature now large scale cultivation on the chemicals organic farming which makes him something of an eccentric coming along everyone here says i'm crazy but ultimately this isn't my land it's borrowed i'm just visiting for fifty sixty or sandy years so it has to be here for a future generation of. you know look it up in athena's. for a long time other farmers markets for his dedication to small scale cultivation but things changed dramatically when it became clear that he was integrity and saving the oldest and rarest variety of cocoa bean in the world the nuts and i. did a little less nationality this varieties produces very little kircher liberal promise one trees that generate a lot of crude and. the other low year in means a highly concentrated flavor if the quality of the taste are exactly will look look
8:23 pm
you know so there was gum was. acquittal is home to perhaps the world's oldest coquetries and because many locals depend on cocoa for survival righties which produce a lot of fruit a very popular while engine varieties are rapidly disappearing. all were until jerry tough came along he moved to ecuador from the us ten years ago . he spent many of them fighting deforestation when he heard that the rare nasional cocoa being was facing extinction he went on a trail. that's when he met. surveyor told them about some particularly old trees in the remote valley he knew that from his forefathers although illiterate they were very knowledgeable about local vegetation. was well my grandmother
8:24 pm
was not interested in the life in the kitchen she was very child like us i loved working in the fields always had her machete with that she was very determined no put up with the course. and indeed d.n.a. tests proved that a handful of the many thousands of trees were rare original varieties there's only one percent of such fries he's left in ecuador they produce very small amounts of high quality cow for decades local people consider them worthless but the fruit has become a luxury a street this is mindful chocolate consumption give people a reason to kind of stop what they're doing rather than just kind of popping chalk with their mouth and going on their way to really kind of take in what they're doing and sit down and properly taste it the way you taste of a special bottle of wine and so the world's most expensive cocoa is harvested right here assuming that is that the two farmers don't devour it all themselves.
8:25 pm
well we all do a good job of getting over chocolate. oh yeah. it's the first harvest of the season and serbia's neighbors are feeling festive too they and good money on the small amounts they harvest they say they're paid twice as much as elsewhere there's real pride in a special product and serbia is no longer a crazy tree hugger he's a local hero. boxes clearly labeled for random quality testing there are regular checks to make sure these are really pure nasional cocoa beans. the local climate with its extreme weather heavy rain and warm temperatures plays a key role in the way the beans taste. it is the end of this ice blocks the on this i would chocolate creates a taste explosion in the mouth it lasts for
8:26 pm
a long time to get satisfying and you just want to keep eating it forever it gets a good communal simply. connected all the capital quito the bins of an transformed into chocolate under the careful eye of the group's third member austrian fighter all of servia in jerry's hard work is now in his hands. when all right if you get the timing wrong you end up burning the cocoa beans then you can't make any chocolate from them or. talking to ecuador after finishing school to volunteer with street kids now he makes chocolate very special chocolate to be consumed slowly and with pleasure for. industrialization has caused the loss of so much flavor and quality and for my generation it's now time to protect and rediscover such things. to be true.
8:27 pm
but it doesn't come cheaply three hundred ten euro for fifty grams and the price won't fall until there are more nasional cocoa trees. that's one of the aims of the farmers here several want to go the same way as salvia cult amazing small amount in a sustainable way. they didn't as i'm also and you know at first it was just a dream and then it works and that makes us very happy it feels like a real triumph. after this good first harvest the cocoa beans have to ferment which takes a combination of time and serving as experience but for today at least it's time to relax. watching day dubliners live from above and still to come the people in the german city of bones to pay tribute to the victims of saturday's found

a hard line on immigration potence fear a new crackdown on migrants. the police in germany say three people are still in critical condition after saturday's deadly van attack in the western city of months the investigators say the driver did not have a permit for the gun that he used to kill themself after driving into a crowd outside a bar in the old town two people were killed and dozens more injured police say the forty eight year old attacker appears to have had mental health issues p.w. correspondent charge else until has been covering the story for us here is her assessment of the city's reaction. people are struggling to make sense of what's happened they still don't know what lead to drive into a crowd of people just behind me. and yet is that response that's been the shining light amid all of this horror immediately after the queues of people lined up to give blood outside the local hundreds more crowded into the city's cathedral to pay
8:32 pm
their respects to the dead this is a city defiance in the face of violence. well in the hours following the attack some people took to social media to spread accurate some false information about the driver and his motives cold nothing from the social media this could tell us a welcome co so what sort of lives were being spread in we see this all the time right after these sorts of attacks false news rumors circulating on social media moonstone was no exception we can start off with one example that really did make the rounds on social media this has to do with the identity of the attacker this is the tweet one of many that falsely claimed the attacker was a german with a kurdish background who had left his passport at the scene it even claims to show a picture of him you can see it there of course none of that is true but that rumor migrated into television this is from romanian television repeating that exact same false information even showing that exact same picture look this is actually well
8:33 pm
known internet hoax the man in that photo is a us comedian sam hide his picture is frequently circulated by internet trolls after these sorts of attacks he's been blamed for example for shooting in texas the high school shooting in parkland florida and even the recent shooting at you tube headquarters all with that same photo and there are many other attempts to link this attack to islamic or kurdish terrorism this is a screen shot of an austrian t.v. broadcast it was misused though to claim that the man picture here was the attacker but it was taken out of context in fact he was an eye witness not a suspect and even made its way on to facebook as you can see here where it was then used to cast doubt on the german and nationality of the driver and that post was actually shared around nine thousand times you can see feel how this information can spread from social media even making it into the news into television or newspapers it can be hard right after these sorts of attacks to tell fact from fiction chickie fact people that said german politicians were also
8:34 pm
helping to spread misinformation yes they were before we even had any concrete information about this attack politicians were. the alternative for germany party the a.f.d. a far right party here in germany they were already trying to link this event to islamic terrorism take a look at what we mean here this is the deputy leader a tricks from stores of the a.f.d. she says of the shah and us or we can do this and she's trying to link the attack to chancellor merkel's catchphrase of course about germany taking in over a million refugees another a.f.p. politician here taking it even a step further writing there are reports that the perpetrator from munster was a convert to islam and that this is being concealed by the german media first classified as a right wing extremist which now appears to be off the table as you can see all kinds of rumors coming in here to the point that the s.p. d.s. ralph stagnate here try to calm this down saying look the tragedy in months as mobilize people who want to instrumental lies and politically and abuse the
8:35 pm
relatives of the victims and that is shameful so clearly calling out the a.t.f. these politicians there who before we had any facts or clear information were already trying to link this event to perhaps a kurdish terrorist or or islamic extremism and really if they should know better irresponsible behavior by politicians here and any photo call us would think you. are worrying about them despite walk off was your site does have a reputation as a liberal i'm cosmopolitan city but in the last two years suspected neo nazis of kind out more than fifty awesome attacks in one district in the south of the city the owner of a bushel lives in constant fear he's not the only one as we report the police to fail to call anyone to account for the crimes. no i can as a bell in a bar or that's become a magnet they have it has something coolest cafes in the capital and pleasant old apartment buildings the neighborhood is multicultural and lively.
8:36 pm
but there's another side tonight because there have been fifty incidents there involving right wing extremists over the past two years hines austin one runs a bookshop in ny current he's been one of the targets he came under attack when he spoke out against racism and right wing populism. i was in the time but i told him that my shop window was smashed in december twenty sixth seen me on the following month and with my car was torched right in front of my home from my horse and now this february the same thing happens with my new car with them as it farts like he says it's quite clear that the perpetrators are far right extremists and want to intimidate him. as are going to find others in the office has changed my life or that you're right become more cautious. here in the bookshop when i've tried to identify any security weak spots. when i drive home i always think about
8:37 pm
the best place to park. then when i walk from my car to my house if there is somebody behind me i might cross the road you never know where they might be up to my money wise once this is the last of. the police suspect the culprits are local residents and may have links to the far right n.p.t. party. it's been campaigning against immigrants on the political left for years. n.p.t. members unknown to the committed a significant number of acts of violence in not current and elsewhere. is a bust young schmidt killer isn't n.p.t. activist i asked him what he thinks of the allegations that the culprits may be affiliated with his party did. clan p.d. does not support violence against people with different political views foreigners or anyone else as a political tool and what we say is if we want to change things then only by parliamentary or political means. himself has been charged with violent crimes
8:38 pm
though acquitted each time he has however been found guilty of incitement he's also known to have associated with violently and nazis the police are investigating the far right scene over the incidents in the. police refused to give us an interview about the right wing attacks in berlin they only wanted to answer our questions on paper we wanted to know why months later a series of dozens of violent attacks still remains unsolved by the time of filming we still haven't received an answer. people in my turn have organized protests against the far right and against the authorities failure to find the culprits here they're campaigning for justice for the bektashi he was shot and killed on a street in like an april twenty twelfth. many suspect the motive was anti immigrant sentiment or racism. you. know him.
8:39 pm
there were some leaves but i think the authorities have not been working as well as . to her and listen they should have talked to the suspects. the public prosecutors should have done their job better. on sunday a monument to brag bektashi was dedicated near the sponsor he was shot for many his murder brings to mind a series of phone right racist killings the so-called n.s.u. murders and the failure of the authorities to identify the culprits all the motive till years later here in the i couldn't the demonstrators say they will not give up until the crimes that have been solved. some of business update now with us thanks very much phil are sure to talk about one of the money makers facebook is trying to reduce the impact of its latest scandal and is announcing new measures
