this is either of you news live from berlin tense hours are ahead here in the german capital as authorities prepare to diffuse a massive world war two bomb the british device was found on a building site close to the main station thousands are being evacuated from their homes little blocks of the city also coming up the suspect in an alleged anti-semitic attack caught on video has handed himself in to berlin police authorities saying he's a teenager asylum seekers will drive to germany from syria in two thousand and fifteen. also coming up a monarch looks to hand over the reins of britain's queen elizabeth has been the

head of the commonwealth for nearly seven decades she wants her son charles to succeed her but will he be given the job. also coming up in sports roughened of dollars book his place in the quarter finals of the monte carlo masters but a showdown with novak djokovic won't be on the count cards after she crashed out. i'm sumi so much gonda good to have you with us central berlin is on shutdown this morning as emergency services diffuse a massive world war two bomb the british bomb was uncovered on a building site near the city's central train station a german authorities will evacuate thousands in the surrounding area and halt rail services at the central train station seven decades after the end of the second world war germany still finds more than two thousand. thousand tonnes of unexploded

bombs and live ammunition every year and most are on earth or on construction sites . let's go right to rebecca ritter she's standing by for us after the scene hi rebecca good morning so we understand that the the evacuation is starting now give us an idea of what's happening that's right good morning sumi so i'm standing here in front of the bomb site i'm not sure if you can see it behind me but the police and the bomb disposal unit have a rived we're still we still haven't been evacuated but as i'm talking right now there's a couple of police vans coming here we are set to be evacuated from this site any moment now. not just us there's a eight hundred major radius from the bomb site will be in vacuo added including the main train station petrol station construction sites and as you mentioned thousands of residents so it is quite a big deal here in germany today and will cause a lot of chaos rebecca we mentioned the thousands of tons of bombs are actually

discovered every year what makes this case different yeah that's right i mean there was over a million. million tons of bombs that landed in germany during world war two and one tenth of thought to be unexploded and they are uncovered quite frequently i spoke to a bomb expert here at the say in a little while ago and he said that while the bombs are stable while they're not being moved they are relatively safe but once they begin to move that's when you know nobody really knows what could happen they certainly could explode it has happened in the past what makes this different to me is that the size of the bomb it's a five hundred kilo british bomb and also the location it's right near the central station and run a residential central part of so they already don't want to take any chances and rebecca that means a lot of people are affected and how have they been taking it. well the people i've spoken to this morning you know i was relatively chipper really blows

a fair about the whole thing i mean i suppose it to be caught up in a bit of a historical moment it is a little bit of an inconvenience but nobody seemed too bad spirited about it i think they are definitely of the pinion that safety first and better safe than sorry so the evacuation is starting now when will they actually start to fusing the bomb and how long will that take. it's hard to say they're going to start the fusing around about eleven thirty berlin time so that in two and a half hours if all goes to plan it could take a couple of hours were expected to the various specked expected to stay evacuated up until about two o'clock of all goes to plan and then hopefully things should go back to normal all right rebecca riggers reporting for us from central berlin rebecca good to talk to you. and staying here berlin and one of the suspects in an alleged anti-semitic attack has now turned himself into police police say he is

a teenage asylum seeker from syria he was filmed attacking two young men who were jewish religious head coverings those men told the news they were wearing the campus because they wanted to show an israeli friend that it is safe to do so and berlin police are now investigating the attack as a hate crime. with this video of the alleged attacker address the outcry a friend announced that qana wants to turn himself into the police it comes after the nineteen year old suspect was filmed apparently assaulting an israeli arab on the streets of berlin he jew in arabic the alleged attacker came to germany from syria and twenty fifteen and lives in a refugee center in the past year berlin has seen several anti-semitic incidents like this one on the day when palestinians and their supporters demonstrate against israel protesters made anti-semitic statements and burned an israeli flag. the berlin based going to should have against anti-semitism visit schools to

explain the subject including to students with immigrant backgrounds they warn against seeing anti-semitic attacks and specifically muslim. there's a specific group among muslims who are anti semitic is much more sometimes like in the present case they act in a particularly hateful way but i think that we should not stigmatize muslims. rather we should try to convince them to fight against anti-semitism and everything else is counterproductive. and has one of the largest arabic and muslim populations in germany you found mixed reactions among the community. as a human being i'm happy to live with christians and jews and muslims together but the jews in palestine are occupiers. not all jews occupy palestine so what does a boy who was born a jew have to do with it and then is that then if. we can't trust social media if

you have there has to be an investigation and if they find that palestinians did this then i reject that as a muslim. the case has left many jews wondering whether they're safe in berlin. now italians are still waiting on their elected leaders to form a government a month and a half after inconclusive elections now the antiestablishment five star movement has given the far right league party in ultimatum ditch its ally sylvia force a tally of by the end of the weekend together form a joint government so far the league's leadership has refused the five star in the league parties claim the most votes in march but they've been deadlocked over clashing visions for at least future. and let's bring in barbara vessel she's standing by for us in brussels barbara good morning to you this sounds like an unlikely coalition of the far right lead with the populous five star movement

that's seen on the left end of the political spectrum could this really happen. it sounds really totally counter-intuitive so me absolutely because originally the five star movement came more from the left and the of course the northern league is decidedly right wing populist party and also we have to remember that the leader of the northern excelled during the election campaign and has been doing so since year in year is insulting the italian sauza calling them slackers and no goods and people who are of just absolutely no account however the five star movement has their strengths particularly in the south a lot of their voters come from there so how is that possible to bring these two together and sort of not have the voters in the north in this house rise up and sort of throttle the respective leaders and we have to remember that of course

there are things that unite those parties that is particularly populism this whole ental establishment stance and then of course of both are euro skeptic they really one changes in the european union all want to sort of abolish it altogether or that is quite unclear and so there are that there is a certain amount of common ground and that is something of course that the political establishment in italy watches was horror what would a coalition of this kind actually mean for the european union. shock and all and of course everybody in brussels looks at the some things please god don't let this happen because if you have this is very unlikely coalition off sort of outright populists from the left and from the right come together and figure out how they can best disrupt operations in the european union. life will become extremely

difficult. to get their euro form sort of ready and on the road within weeks if this should really happen because it can actually mean that business as usual comes to a full stop in italy at least in all those decisions very unanimous is necessary we look at the budget negotiations for instance can really put this stick in the spokes there and there are a lot of other issues however on the other side we have to remember that european union does carry a certain amount of field that the situation in italy came to this point of they let the refugee crisis go on for years and years without ever really helping italy and taking people off their hands and doing something that really would stop the situation there so yes there will be a certain amount of breast beating too but never how stable would this coalition actually be you know italy has had several of its previous governments collapse.

that's anybody's guess really so i mean because of course we've seen governments come and go in the usually if you look at it statistically they last for about a year or a year and a half however and this can sort of end in chaos very quickly basically particularly if you look at the economic circumstances italy has the highest debt really except for greece in europe with one hundred thirty percent of g.d.p. that is staggering as so the financial markets will not be happy to give more money to a government consisting of two totally untested unknown political entities like the leader nord and the five star movement but on the other hand what we should not underestimate is the the real thirst for power the absolute hunger for power particularly in material salvini from the league nord and also of course among the

five star movement so yes they might even call those something together and they might be more to nationals than we think. is barbara vessel reporting from brussels on italy's political impasse barbara thank you now to some other stories making news around the world former new york mayor rudy giuliani is joining us president donald trump's personal legal team he's one of three new lawyers dealing with the probe into possible russian interference in the two thousand and sixteen election juliana was also the chief prosecutor in manhattan in the one nine hundred eighty s. memos written by the sacked f.b.i. director james comey detail suppose that discussions with u.s. president trump the material includes a claim that the russian president vladimir putin told trump russia has some of the most beautiful prostitutes in the world responding in a tweet trump says the memos show komi leaked classified information. dozens of people have reportedly been injured after two passenger trains collided in the austrian city of salzburg the crash happened at the main station in the early

morning hours and investigation is underway to determine the cause of the accident . for the french president emanuel mccall has been in berlin he has brought us proposals for reform and gary is here with a look at how they went down yes it was a busy week for the french president on tuesday he addressed the european parliament in strasburg for the first time outlining his plans for can safely be called a reboot of the e.u. then it was on to berlin to actually find some support for his plans from germany's chancellor. but in berlin he found not everyone is asked answer the asked about his plans as in one or more coin himself. plans are akin to a european union relaunch on tuesday he described his vision for the future in a speech to the european parliament he wants the eurozone to have its own budget which would be administered by its own finance minister he also wants to levy

higher taxes on internet companies and accelerate the introduction of e.u. wide intellectual property law that i phone didn't you know the reform of the economic and monetary union as an indispensable third front before the end of this european parliament term defining a roadmap for moving forward on the banking union and a fiscal compact city to promote stability and convergence in the euro area. only last year mark kong was given a standing ovation for a similar speech at the sorbonne university in paris this time the applause was more modest that's because the netherlands ireland and six other northern countries reject his e.u. reform plans they don't want their voters taxes to be poured into any new fangled euro zone budget but home knows his plans only have any hope of success with germany's backing in berlin on thursday he repeated his hopes for euro zone reform . you see the city mo we need more solidarity in the currency union money

no currency union can survive without an element of convergence it needs instruments of adjustment and alignment with. a lot of members of parliament and government here in berlin think those harmless sounding words could become very expensive for a german taxpayers chancellor angela merkel sounded a more cautious note of course there are always differing perspectives between germany and france and we need debates open debates and in the end we also need the ability to compromise. a model people will be discussing that at all levels of government it's. the first results will be announced at the next you summit in june . so of course asking for solidarity will he yes it let's discuss this bill come on she's an economist effort university specializing in the history of political

ideas now karen is macaw a european visionary always you just overly enthusiastic about a european superstate. that's a very nice question i think is both he is a visionary and we need visionaries we need people with a long view on what europe stands for what europe needs to achieve and how strongly he wants me must fight to keep this up but at the same time you're totally right he is very much a friend of the super state it's that's the typical french approach to matters they have the centrist model where the important thing is for france to have direct access to the european central core. and fats contrary to the reforms he's doing at home by the way where he tries to break up the structures and to introduce more competitiveness this centrist approach is not really favorable to competitiveness and that that's i think the mistake so the diagnosis that he has that europe needs

to get stronger and more efficient is right but the cure that he is giving us is not the right one ok from which one of the prospects of what be the right cure what needs to be done well there are a couple of things that he is advising or that he has to fighting for that that are good like moving ahead with the banking union is a good idea have been outside the year is own in general politics like migration policy is like foreign defense are all all these matters that extremely important especially right now what europe is becoming more and more important geopolitically and should be i mean under the threat from. china the u.s. moving out of many agreements that we've had so europe is important and it's important to to work on these issues but in economic terms i i don't think he me he he does deserve support for anything that is that involves transfers that involves

more of what he called solidarity more convergence through redistribution all these other which would mean germans are. as pathological well that's the problem when you want to mutual lies forest so when you want to pool wrists and the risks are not distributed evenly impressed it's clear that one group is going to be paying for the other group systematically then you won't find agreement on that and the problem is that agreement and two of the eurozone has been dropping and it's not a time for further deepening now. what about his fund for reforms at home you just mentioned it would be successful that if you could briefly if you can yes i do think so he's determined his firm it's only basically have a sitter take and one minor other trade union that is trying to defeat him i don't think they will be successful any and in the end he is he is transforming france in

a historical way. we'll see the end of it will definitely well thank you very much colum holmes thank you. georgia banks the pride and joy of the german financial industry is making headlines again for all the wrong reasons again this time they made an accidental transfer to the best of us who wouldn't get a number on once in a while with online banking for example all those pesky pin numbers and passwords and codes right but mind you you've never accidentally transferred about twenty eight billion euros to the wrong account have you well to their credit they figured it out a few minutes later and rectified the issue no harm done but a couple of red faces but still the incident said another harsh spotlight on the bank's wrists and control processes and its creaking i-t. systems time for reboot there should think now there's an important summit in london and soon as i had at that summit is the summit of commonwealth heads of

government and it's wrapping up later today they're expected to make a decision on who should leave the organization after queen elizabeth the second the commonwealth is a group of countries most of which are former british colonies and with breaks that looming britain is trying to boost ties to the other member nations. glamorous festivities. big rates. and a young prince. the royal family has taken to being grilled in britain's commonwealth charm offensive. prince harry and at this stage in his new role it's commonwealth ambassador. i am also incredibly grateful that the woman that i'm about to marry meghan will be joining me in this work which shooter is hugely excited to take part in. thank you it's just under your control cracks and this is the stage on which britain wants to present itself as a club to play

a part for a family of fifty three commonwealth i mean. there's a lot of synergies very. british government and pakistani government work together not only improve the relationship but also the economic relationships that have always been a bit uncomfortable with the history of the commonwealth and so something that's made me feel uncomfortable however i don't think i've ever felt more positive about the future of the commonwealth because i feel that there's a lot of positives you can do here good morning everybody in the past the commonwealth focused mainly on promoting development and democracy now to research may want to reenergize the organisation and torn attention to boosting trade the commonwealth can lead the world the commonwealth can all spot our world and the commonwealth chose the world i a vision that the canadian prime minister also support was offering to you kate and a deeper trade relationship than with the e.u. but also. many brits that support us believe that the network of mostly former

british colonies holds the key to britain's future outside of the e.u. and the potential issues after all commonwealth nations account for forty percent of the world's population but there are many barriers for example geographic proximity one reason why only nine percent of u.k. exports go to the commonwealth compared to forty four percent but go to the european union and many commonwealth countries have highly protected economies like india for instance prime minister modi wants visa restrictions lifted before agreeing on trade liberalization a hard sell to anti immigration protests following the brics it referendum suddenly the british government is paying attention to the organization and i'm afraid you know if the commonwealth is the future. we're in more trouble than i thought it really just isn't a properly functioning international organization it doesn't have

a proper decision making process it doesn't have any kind of implementation mechanisms among many young delegates there is an appetite to change that but only on every place. if. you. look you know it's. a business of fairness and equity to be green strong used to be the way to europe many commonwealth leaders did not want the u.k. to leave. now their support will come at a price. in tennis rafael nadal has eased through to the quarterfinals of the monte carlo masters but he won't have to face a long time rival novak djokovic in the last eight that's after the former world number one went out to australia germany team in three grueling sets six seven six

two six three. after two years struggling with an inkling elbow injury novak djokovic to the top of the screen says he's finally playing pain free and there were glimpses of the man who's won twelve grand slam titles. they say set points in the fast set which the said being one and it's high break for djokovic she lacks tournament sharpness and his opponent dominant team is no slouch from crash. five he got a crucial break in the deciding set djokovic she looked out classed and though the fight was that the end product often wasn't an unforced error i gave team victory on his second match point djokovic still with some work to do. thank you ideally i would want to you know be playing the way i've played for so many years but. you know all the a c. . patience is required and and and trust in the

process and believe in myself djokovic choose defeat ended hopes of a quarter final clash with rafael nadal the king of clay made light work of russia's karen had chan off losing three games in the first set and just to win the second no doubt has an excellent record at this tournament he'll need to keep that run going if he's to start roger federer taking him as world number one only another monte carlo title number eleven in total will do. you know it's been another big week for football's new video assistant referee system there's been more controversy in the bundesliga while sci fi has announced that decisions by v a r will be shown on stadium big screens at the world cup now the referees themselves have had their say on the use of the technology. the video assistant referee system is the biggest change in football in decades but it's fair to say it's had its thieving problems. minds were given a penalty after the half time whistle and monday's bonus that your clash with

a furious freiburg when the referee was alerted so i am the ball the decision was correct but steve is refereeing chief says technology channel put a stop to all controversies. not many interpretations so something that could be clear for me in a way could be not for another and this is not what the will ounce or two i repeat for those a mistake which in the past the. created big problems certainly it would be avoided. favre has been running a training camp this week the referees to get more used to v.a. are ahead of its use in the world cup in june and july video decisions will be shown in the stadium big screens in russia meaning fans will finally understand what is going on. i feel very comfortable. because people have been us for us. to feature of the pitch so we are very very

comfortable we also started enough because we are also using a. few not all. of us so i am very comfortable. the referees seem happy but many fans are still to be convinced it could be one of the most talked about woke up in history. imagine our top story here and you police in berlin have started evacuating thousands from the city center as crews prepare to defuse a massive world war two bomb explosive was found at a construction site near berlin's main train station rail service will also be suspended several for. hours. thank you for watching.
