4:03 pm
blocked because of the mines inside i can't get in everywhere see wires and things that trouble me. as smoke rises over duma russia says the area is now under the control of the syrian government but it is russian military police who are patrolling the streets in line with a surrender deal struck with the rebels at the weekend. moscow has broadcast pictures said to show residents celebrating says the situation here is normalizing. library. but for several international powers these images of saturday's suspected poison gas attack in june are give no hint of normalcy. the u.s. britain and france are considering military action in syria in response to the alleged attack syria's allies russia and iran have threatened to retaliate if they
4:04 pm
do so with turkey israel and other regional powers also involved the u.n. has warned this conflict could spiral out of control. as u.s. warships make their way to the region there are mounting questions about where this crisis will lead. and earlier german chancellor angela merkel said germany would not take part in any missile strikes on syria take a listen. with the germany with a notice of hate and i do most of all military action but i want to stress again that no decision has been made on this but we acknowledge and support that everything has to be done to signal that this use of chemical weapons is unacceptable. dr topples. let's now get the latest reactions now from our correspondents in our studios in berlin we have simon john in brussels our bureau chief max hoffman and in moscow you do the shadow who heads our bureau there let me
4:05 pm
start with you first assignment charles america had to say she seems to be implicitly backing military action but she doesn't want to get germany directly involved where does germany fit in in this whole scenario. you know i think chancellor merkel is positioning germany as a firm member of the western alliance she's telephone with the french president and with other allies and is agreed to stay in contact with them but it's no surprise i think that the german military won't be deployed nobody was really expecting that and indeed the fact that germany won't be fighting and won't diminish the ability of other nations to carry out operations in syria but the chance they're also said there that to do nothing is also difficult and that's why she's wanting to be part of the chorus of voices condemning syria
4:06 pm
clearly for what they see as the clear involvement in this chemical attack and also supporting the work as she said of the o.p.c. w the chemical weapons inspector it and in the united nations as well do you max the french president a man on the cross says there is proof that there was a gas attack in syria tell us what he said and does it make more likely that france would take part in any military action if it takes place. in a long interview today for french media he did confirm that at least chlorine was used and that it was used by the regime of bashar al assad so this makes the argument the case for an intervention by the french military stronger according to what the french president said earlier but it's become unclear or when he wants this to happen because on tuesday you said this would happen or he would make a decision in the next days and today he sort of used
4:07 pm
a little softer wording he said that as soon as they deemed it useful and also effective to conduct such an operation then they would take the decision that the background of this might be that the western allies the u.s. the u.k. and also france want to coordinate but that it's probably not easy to coordinate at the moment with the u.s. because the signals that are coming out of washington are very mixed thank you really in moscow russia has always denied any possibility of a gas attack in the region the russian spokesperson has just been talking what did she have to say. well marty has a heart of used once again her quick weekly press conference to criticize the ballast quite harshly she is very well known for her very tough words first of all she has repeatedly emphasized the you know sense of russia in the case of poisoning of the double edge in st paul and to criticize the fact that neither the u.s. cripple in london nor her father sergei screwball may have contact with russian
4:08 pm
authorities or although they are russian citizens as well syria she sees as expected the usa in the role of war among us she pointed out repeatedly the origin of the conflict in namely the alleged gas attack and do you know which has not to get been proven at least from the russian point of view she have a criticised of the t.v. footage used by many western broadcasters in which allegedly poisoned children was shown children and adults she said who are just watering each other with water as she called it so she called this footage a fake and briefly yuri the russian president vladimir putin have been holding talks with the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu what to talk about on syria i think moscow wants to avoid any direct the foundation with washington therefore russia is obviously trying to use any back channel fishel statement after the conversation it was sad that president putin called prime minister netanyahu
4:09 pm
for holding back from any action that would further destabilize the situation in syria this happens after a syrian air base was struck by allegedly israeli missiles on monday however syria and russia blame to the asteroid on israel but on the other hand there are military experts here in moscow who supposes that israel could be a negotiator or mediator in the conflict between russia and the u.s. right to a uniter chateau in moscow max hoffman in brussels and simon young in but and thank you gentlemen very much for your very own perspective. now of course the business was watching those developments closely ben for the moon and it seems that the possibility of military action could is having an impact on extravagances already having an impact although we haven't seen a missile strike yet of course many airlines are on high alert following u.s. president donald trump's threat of strikes in syria several carriers have started rebooting flights among them f.
4:10 pm
france the airline has modified a chair jools for destinations close to syria including flights to beirut and tell of eve german fly carry a lot fans and says it has avoided flying over the eastern mediterranean for some time as a precautionary measure. a cycle of retaliation is the last thing the world economy needs a statement from the world trade organization referring to a very different battle the one that you just mentioned there one concerning the top two economies the united states and china a tit for tat tariff dispute in which beijing looks like it could be backing down but not before taking the tussle to the w t o international body is the global adjudicator in such a phase it was set up in geneva in one nine hundred ninety five together it's one hundred sixty four member states generate around ninety percent of trade at the w t o has two main functions firstly to persuade nations to remove trade barriers and promote fair and free trade it does this by agreeing rules on
4:11 pm
a customs on custom tariffs and working to remove subsidies secondly to settle trade quarrels between member countries since being set up the w t o is being called upon to settle more than five hundred such disputes members must agree to implement it suggestions but the other trace of protests can take years and the u.s. traditionally strong backer of the group is now its biggest critic. well one of the w t o's der recta general the deputy director general rather joins us from geneva. of germany. mr paul just threats of a trade war of what billions of global stocks the world obviously can't afford to wait years for the w t o to resolve this dispute are you hoping it will solve itself. and let me i'm very grateful that you give me the opportunity to. make
4:12 pm
a statement on how long our litigation actually takes it's always said that it takes years this is not really true our alleges our litigation is faster than any national litigation that you can think of you know merely get the first. judgment within fifteen months and for the episode body to decide it will take from the start to the end only twenty four months in general we have out layers like advice boy normally our dispute settlement system is very efficient and works much faster than national legislation to let national to restrictions or twenty four months equals so here at these services i wouldn't say there's any wrong with the statement i made. why why does it take that long i mean we're talking months and years. because i mean this is normal right you have to go through consultations before you start litigation then
4:13 pm
you have to set up a panel then you have to submit your claim the respondent has to have some time to respond and then there is an oral hearing and then there is a decision and we also have to translate it into the three languages of the organization i think fifteen months for a first judgment and then an added on nine months for the second one is not long well that would tell me very. sure that these drives serve in this digital era and it's very fast moving digital era and globally networked world that we live in it sounds like the w.t.r. needs an overhaul. now i don't think the w t o needs an overhaul on the w two as a forum for the members to cooperate right now we have a lack of trust among the members there is this conflict between the u.s.
4:14 pm
and china and we hope that. we will get the conversation going again among the member states and particularly among the big players well the biggest players are there in the u.s. our beauty oh let me just point this out the biggest players in the u.s. the e.u. and china china at the moment here is not a problem there are no cases where it's ignored w.t. or rulings against that the u.s. and the e.u. have failed to comply with complaints against them and they're the ones who came up with the framework. ok but there are literally some cases where the complainants where the parties did not comply. but in general we have a compliance rate of more than ninety percent and you know we have no bailiff no task force no fast deployment forces or anything the parties comply
4:15 pm
to the very large extent more than ninety percent is all completely think this is fair that was a tweet of his on the sixth of april he reckons that the us is badly bred presented and that the w t o is fair therefore to the u.s. what would you say to mr trump. we have three categories of countries we have the industrialized countries we have the elysees the least developed countries and this is a category which is actually determined by the united nations and then in between we have the developing countries and this is self-determination i think this is infect a weakness there shouldn't be this self-determination. also shared trump nor that a trade war would hurt not just the rest of the world but their economies as well. when you say that that they're just posturing
4:16 pm
i don't know i don't really know what is in the heads of those people but i share your assessment that in the end there are only losers to trade wars. this is also reflected in a statement by ross when ross said that the us would lose less than china this is a statement which implicates that the us is also losing a trade war only produces loses deputy director general of the w t o couple of thank you. and positive developments now in the latest report from amnesty international that's right been the human rights group amnesty says the number of reported judicial executions around the one fell during two thousand and seventeen but the group did warn that the true number of people put to death by the state is
4:17 pm
not known some countries treat exit statistics as a states take a secret for example china but many others carry out executions in full view of the public. iran responsible for carrying out its more than half of the world's known executions last year that's according to amnesty international's latest figures in dozens of those cases that meant public execution in iran drug trafficking and blasphemy are among those crimes punishable by death. at least five people were executed in iran for acts committed when they were still under eighteen. election. just four countries responsible for eighty four percent of all recorded executions last year iran saudi arabia iraq and pakistan but the country suspected of being the world's leading executioner is china. it's thought to have put thousands to death last year more than the rest of the world put together the because data on
4:18 pm
the death penalty that is a state secrets exactly how many is a matter of speculation. but not counting china twenty seven thousand sober total number of executions worldwide fall by four percent from the previous year. m misty international says that reaffirms the global trend towards abolition of the death penalty last year a further two countries guinea and mongolia joined the one hundred four who have now abolished capital punishment for a second year in a row the us did not feature among the top five global execution is slipping from positions seven to eight this is due in part to ongoing legal challenges of the use of lethal injection. but as litigation in several states progress is that because the executions resume. for more on the general trends of the death penalty in
4:19 pm
executions while by i'm joined now by lucy graham she is the amnesty deputy director of global issues welcome you see let me start with china your report says it remains the world's leading executioner cincinatti official figures on what estimates based. the estimates are based on information that we get from people within china i think is important and besides absolutely china is one of the disturbing trends that we have seen this year but we've also tried to show that there is some hope that we are witnessing the end of the death penalty so for example if you look at sub-saharan africa this year death sentences and down substantially we now have twenty countries that are abolitionists and hoping various legal developments both in twenty seventeen and that we're seeing in twenty eighteen that show that the world is moving towards the end of the death penalty in terms of what that means for people on death row in the end for example which became how delicious in twenty sixteen there were fourteen men that were left in
4:20 pm
limbo one death row and just a couple of months ago it was announced that that death sentence would be commuted to life imprisonment so in general we are trying to show that in twenty seventeen there was there was a movement towards abolition of the death penalty and hope in that region particularly but the organization of course is still of a concerned about areas where the death penalty remains or is on the increase for example in drug related crimes. yes there are various disturbing trends in twenty seventeen and the drugs related crime is one of them so for example we saw fifteen countries using the death penalty for drug related offenses and for countries at least executed people drug related offenses that is a great concern to us and i think one of the things to emphasize also is there isn't any evidence that the use of the death penalty deters crime so remains one of the regions that executes and sentences people to death for drug related crime but
4:21 pm
on average the number of drugs. in that region is no smaller than global averages including in countries that don't have the death penalty and what about the u.s. although it was the only country of the americas to carry out. last year the numbers remain lower than in previous says is the tide turning there or are there technical issues like with the use of the lethal injection. i think there are absolutely some technical issues but in general i think the usa is also showing global move towards alicia and there are a lot of people working on the ground in the us to all it's election of the death penalty and it's one of the areas that shows that we can start fighting for other action we still see leaders such as president trying to making statements suggesting that the death as you would be in effect it's happened the drug crime and that's why people on the ground and. government and prosecution level need to
4:22 pm
keep on pushing against the death penalty one example that we've seen in twenty seventeen really shows how local efforts can push that change is in guinea which became the transit abolitionists country in the sub-saharan african region and amnesty activists that continually push for the abolition of the death penalty from twenty fifteen onwards and last year. twenty eight abolitionists country in sub-saharan africa which is a great advance for the region and one of the reasons why we have highlighted sub-saharan africa as a beacon of hope in twenty seventeen that was lucy graham from amnesty international let me now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the wires and jiri has begun three days of national mourning after a military plane crashed that kids two hundred fifty seven people the russian transporter went down shortly after takeoff on wednesday killing mostly soldiers and their family members the accident is the worst aviation disaster in algiers
4:23 pm
history and the parties have ordered an investigation. in poland thousands of marched in the sun of the session to on the holocaust victims at the site of the death stand it's part of holocaust remembrance day which pays tribute to the six million jews murdered by the nazis in jerusalem israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu laid a wreath at the yard vashem holocaust memorial. of content on facebook bought my second book is a rich man today after u.s. investors pushed out the value of his company's share as they evidently approved if his testimony before the u.s. congress zuck a book to lawmakers that social media would inevitably need to be regulated but he often feels specifics on how to better protect use the privacy. generally now diffidence off the gaps left by moxy in his kong rational testimony
4:24 pm
is gonna last long from a social media desk now welcome karlovy have some of a mock second book testimony together at this time yesterday he wasn't really exactly forthcoming on all the issues well no that's that's being generous there are quite a few gaps in particular he was a base of when it comes to how facebook tracks its users especially people when they are logged off or people that don't have an account at all here's one example from his testimony take a look at this. there been reports that facebook can track users internet browsing activity even after that user has logged off the facebook platform can you confirm whether or not this is true. senator i want to make sure i get this accurate probably better to have my team follow up we don't know and i know the people who use cookies on the internet and you can probably
4:25 pm
correlate activity between. between sessions. so not the most satisfactory answer there to say the least we were able though to get some answers on this topic pretty easily by going to zuckerberg own website and take a look at what it says there in the facebook help center you can see it says if you're logged out or you don't have a facebook account and you visit a website with the like button or another social plug and we receive information about the web page you're visiting the date and the time and other browser related information we record this info to help us improve our products facebook also uses a piece of code it's called pixel this isn't bedded in web sites across the internet and it can track users and non-users of facebook with your browsing activity and even your your online shopping history so honestly this is information that mark zuckerberg should know or does know and just didn't want to disclose to conference get cygnus team will get back to steam is going to have a busy the next. day what it didn't hold up to scrutiny because he was giving
4:26 pm
testimony allies yeah ten hours of testimony he was also asked whether or not facebook tracks our phone calls take a look at that question have you ever collected the content of phone calls or messages through any facebook application or service. senator. i don't believe we've ever collected the content of phone calls we have an app called messenger and we do on the android operating system allow people to use that app is their client for both facebook messages and texts all right again zuckerberg only really half answering the question fair enough facebook is not recording the content of our phone conversations but it was recently caught collecting phone information phone data even text messages from android phones this just came out he did not mention that in the testimony this user for example here he downloaded his facebook data he found it contained his entire call history with his partners
4:27 pm
mother others learned that facebook had been tracking their call history going back years so these are just a couple of times when we saw not quite telling the full truth and honestly it was up to those lawmakers there to ask the right questions and gets to really tell us how his platform is operating and how it's tracking users in my opinion they didn't do the best job of that they really kind of let him off the hook at times and therefore we have people like you keeping track of what he said got enough money from us so she needed this thank you very much for filling in some of those gaps you know watching the dabney's not slow to come off of we going to take a short break now be looking at a football and they also have some culture news that's all coming up stay with the news if you can. put.

4:30 pm
this is due to obvious come to you live from berlin and i'm to thought you were great to have your company on our top stories german chancellor angela merkel has said germany will not join any possible military action against syria in response to an alleged poison attack the tensions between russia and the west have risen following the alleged attack. the international chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. has confirmed that a former russian spy and his daughter were poisoned with a nerve agent the case of spock's stick for tass diplomatic expulsions between russia britain and many other western countries with london accusing moscow of being behind the attack on service chris paul and his daughter yulia in the english city of swords very a public statement by the p c w said the agent was of high purity but it stopped short of naming the poison all saying who it believed carried out the attack. the follow on the story i have in the studio with me. as employee who's been following
4:31 pm
the case closely so welcome a shot of lots of confusion of what has the o.p.c. to actually find out and confirmed what the u.k. has been on the a lot of pressure internationally to to provide some evidence to back its claim that the russian least in some capacity was responsible for this agent attack now the findings from the a.p.c. have not done that let's be very clear about exactly what it is that they've said they've confirmed the u.k.'s findings relating to the identity of the toxic chemical that was used in seoul's great but very pointedly they haven't identified it as novacek that's the family of nerve agents that the u.k. has said was what was used to poison the former spy and his door said that has not been contained in the reports that's been released publicly they have said that the name in the structure of the identified toxic chemical are contained in a footy classified reports. it may be that they've got in some more detail and we just don't know about it another way the important facts that's come out of this
4:32 pm
report is that they've said that the nothing agent was that was used had a high purity and had a complete absence of impurities now that's really crucial because that is being used to suggest that may well have come from a state of some kind that only a state can provide a nerve agent with that degree of purity was crucial though is that we would not learn from this findings whether or not russia in any capacity was responsible britain's foreign secretary has already responded to this statement do you think you'd be satisfied by what. yes boris johnson came out very strongly offer these findings were released he is really trying to imply that this is strong evidence to back the ukase case let's have a quick look at what he had to say he said there can be no doubt what was used there remains no alternative explanation about who was responsible only russia has the means the motive and the record now of course he's referring it seems that
4:33 pm
allegation is that russia has been behind the state sponsored assassinations. boris has been pushing really hard it has to be said of in favor of the u.k. case even as that and points point to the think it directly person to ordering this attack that of course is not confirmed a tool to reason may the prime minister on the other hand has held back a little bit more she's merely said that it's highly likely that russia in some capacity was responsible even either this was a a state ordered attack or perhaps they lost control of the nerve agent itself boris is going to be thrilled i think to have what he will see as evidence of this but russia will push by very hard and say i'm sorry this is not proof we are behind it meanwhile the investigation continues so what happens next well the u.k. is awarded his cool. for a number of meetings it's called for an emergency session of the year the u.n. security council that also be an emergency hearing next week from the a p c w but
4:34 pm
it's not clear exactly what they can say to go beyond what is already in this report because the fact is it is extremely hard to prove exactly who ordered this chemical attack and where this agent came from in the meantime i think what we can safely expect from russia is that they'll continue with what's been a very. well organized propaganda war against the u.k. they've already released a number of statements since these findings were released pointing to the picking holes in the u.k.'s argument in every possible tun including the fact that they are calling into question some of the statements from the u.k. government about the condition of u.t.s. crippled the daughter that it's crippled he's now been released from hospital russia saying that they that she has not been seen in a month for example so they're really trying to undermine the u.k. at every turn so we can expect more of that in the coming weeks right shirley

one on the night four three on aggregate for reality this one man he wanted in that position to take the penalty seven minutes into injury time it was probably him but of course after the match all the talk was about that incident before on who's probably going to be retiring at the end of the season so this is likely his last effort champions league match understand to be bitterly disappointed let's listen. question i could have said anything to the referee and he should have had the sensibility to forgive me and she did it because what he did is to commit a crime against sportsmanship and to try and that's why i said the words i had to say money crushed between me and. well if you thought that was quite harsh he resented some of his harsh words for of interviews because before him said to the referee michael if he has a rubbish bin for a hot and if you can't be in the pitch and making those decisions you should be in

the stands eating chris so very disappointed generally d.p. from here i have some sympathy for his point of view because this penalty was bake on should look what about this video replay technology it's controversial but i think it's useful to him to have yet controversial to some others say we should have it because theoretically it should eliminate some of these decisions now at the events as president of the day cameron said i want to use in the champions league of course it's been tried in the brain is legal in germany this season or so in syria but sometimes you feel people say these things when it suits them because earlier in the season the events of the coach missed many on i had kind of expressed doubts over the technology now i have to say in this case according to the current rules it wouldn't even have been able to be used because it should only be used when there has been a clear mistake and this one wasn't so obvious it was kind of fifty fifty so the video system you have been able to intervene anyway and i think if you take away the emotion here when it happened in the game rice at the end with events is so

close to taking it to extra time then you know object to be you have to say it's fifty fifty sometimes those ones go your way sometimes they don't you can understand the disappointment if you're absolutely and you can take out emotion from football. exactly let's come to by munich out of madrid up to twenty five and so is minute a how do you assess the game in sydney i found a draw they got yes it was always for see when you compare it to the other matches we've had in this round but at least by and got the job done you know they've done the hard work they were two one up from the first leg and surveil this one very few chances. obviously had to go for it by need to defend which is so they don't often see them doing much of the audience arena because it's so good going forward usually in fact this is the fast match into. two champions league home games where they've not been able to score at finish neil neil have to stay fit and on a slightly sour when they walk in their career the severe defender was center for every nasty foul on how they not seen as that just sparked

a bit of confrontation on the touchline at the end but as far as binding his and they've ended the spanish to do because they're going out to spanish teams the last four seasons and the trouble for them very much for mains on and briefly who is your tip for the winner of the champions league well for teams going to be in the draw on friday. and then of course buy in and around madrid my heart says liverpool because liverpool got a lot of history because competition they've won it in the past against the odds but i think you have to favor read out probably given that they've won it twice in the last two seasons that very first in a row for the head says but the hot seat is live up with jonathan king from us both the thank you very much we stay with football but let's turn to the europe ali webb bundesliga side live in the running for a semi final spot they need to keep must say at bay in the south of france tonight jaylen side held a one nil aggregate lead off the first leg strike care team to make
