stability and the fruits of life we have at the moment. this is deja vu news live from berlin. multiple journalists on terrorism charges they all work for one of the country's few newspapers that is deeply critical of turkey's president. for more on the press freedom case that has sparked international outrage also coming up france's president highlights the very special

relationship between the u.s. and his country addressing the u.s. congress emanuel also urges the u.s. not to close the door to the world. and more than four billion dollars for syrian refugees but the u.n. says the funds pledged at an international donor conference fall well below what is needed to help the victims of syria's move. it's good to have you with us a court in istanbul has sentenced more than a dozen employees from turkey's last leading critical newspaper jim surely it to prison a number of the journalists from the prominent independent daily which is critical of president. his regime are sentenced for aiding

a terrorist organization so let's go through the names here the paper's editor noor lot so much chairman. and the investigative reporter it all received a lengthy jail terms with the columnists contrary grosso and the cartoonist moved the cart getting somewhat shorter sentences turkish authorities say that the case against the former editor. who now lives in exile here in germany and is being tried in absentia will continue on turkey has been cracking down on opposition media since a failed coup attempt back in two thousand and sixteen more journalists are imprisoned here than in any other country in the world seventeen community its employees were on trial fifty were convicted and there were three acquittals are for more on this we want to bring in dorian jones he is on the story for us tonight is tim bowl door in there what more do we know about these verdicts.

well this is seen as one of the most serious attacks and on one of the last remaining independent and critical voices of the government this paper is one of turkey's oldest and most established among the people who have been receiving these lengthy sentence is a veteran columnists in journalist people who've been writing independently in this country for decades and in fact one of the main issues many of these shows have been writing on is condemning and criticizing the very terrorist organization they're accused of supporting but there's despite these convictions there is a strong sense of the finance following the the convictions of journalists said that they will not be cowed they will not be silent and if the army choke the investigative reporter who received the most lengthy jail sentences set in history dictators have never succeeded in silencing just people and he said that we will not be defeated and so there's a great deal of the violence and even though there have been these lengthy

sentences handed out all of the people have been released pending appeal and one of these prisoners is the bridge directed weren't very well i mean i've attended several days of the hearings and into fact listening to the evidence i mean there wasn't any evidence among the evidence presented was using the same travel agent of someone convicted of being in support of a terrorist organization and in fact a witness had attended a key witness for the prosecution went on to say that none of the defendants were guilty of any of the charges and that they should be charged of a crime prompting the prosecutor to put his hand in ease into his face into his hands so that anyone watching this case even by the very low standards that are required says that your convictions if there was no case to be answered for but given the fact that this paper is seen as one the lone voice is christ sizing the paper the convictions were expected are there who responded to you jobs on the story in istanbul for us tonight do you you think. well

to the united states french president in his address to a joint session of the u.s. congress he urged lawmakers to reject fear and isolationism and instead to launch a new era of twenty first century leadership and security across addressed syria free trade the paris climate change agreement all topics where he and u.s. president disagree and he urged the united states not to abandon the iran nuclear deal. at his rendezvous with u.s. lawmakers and a call look to share the love heaping praise on france's special bond with america that his message seemed to wrecked it to an audience of one u.s. president donald trump on iran and warned against abandoning the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal but still took a hard line. for iran our objective is clear

iran shall never approve this any nuclear weapons. accomplished back on trump's america first agenda urging the u.s. to engage rather than retreat from world affairs. but crossings the door to the word will not stop the evolution of the work. it will not dollars but inflame the fruits of our citizens. in the car also pushed back on trans threat to tear up international trade deals warning of commercial war between allies at the end of the day it will destroy jobs increase prices and the middle class will have to pay for it. and he tried to sway trump a father of five to reconsider the paris climate accord i believe in building a better future for our children which requires offering them

a planets that are still have bit of all in twenty five years. the current tide things up with the call of duty for france and the us to confront global threats shoulder to shoulder. watch with cherish is at stake what we love is in danger we have no choice but to prevail and together we showed prevail. and invitation to shape the twenty first century to gather one macro may have a tough time getting trump to accept. and we want to go now capitol hill in washington d.c. our d.c. bureau chief alexander phenomena standing by good evening to you all xander you were in that chamber today during mr backgrounds speech talk to me a little bit about how the speech was received. i thought

that it was quiet impressive to watch the french president and the house chamber receiving a standing ovation on both sides of the aisle and i talked to democratic lawmakers and some of them told me that they felt that the with a very powerful speech something that they would like to hear from their president they also told me that they think it was very important that he missed a micro and remind the lawmakers of the values the united states and europe share and it was quite impressive to see mostly democratic lawmakers members of the democratic party lining up after this speech to staying. put the address but i also talked to republicans here and one congressman from new york told me that he thinks it was quite interesting and good to listen to mr mccraw was use but said that this speech has not changed he's positions on the climate. agreement for example or on

the deal. a lot of the message from called today was the antithesis to trump's america first message and he really he gave this rally or this pep talk to the u.s. congress to remember america's multilateral leadership role in the world how do you think any of this is going to happen while in the white house. well i don't think that speech is going to impress president trump as you know he's not a fan of multilateralism he is not a fan of international organizations such as the united nations for example he's approached foreign policy. action now we have to say that the leaders have sort of personal connection that this seemed to get along pretty well with each

other but we don't have any indications that president crawlers speech. negotiation conversation with the president. have had and the president of the world or the way how he sees his own president. that's an interesting point a lot of. speculating that came to washington this week early in the week to the groundwork for talks this coming friday which will take place also with the german chancellor and we know that. are not best friends so. that mr. magic to maybe get. to find common ground with the europeans are we going to see that happen on friday. well the simple answer is

we don't know yet and it's true that the europeans the french president and the german chancellor chancellor are trying very hard to convince presidents trump to pull out of the currents nuclear deal with iran and to grant the europeans permanent exemptions of the tariffs on a limit and steel but we simply don't know whether there will be successful and diplomats i talked to told me that they would not like to predict anything and that they think that we are going to see decisions on this topic very shortly before the upcoming deadlines. alexander phenomena on capitol hill tonight alexandra thank you very much. here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world a copenhagen court has sentenced paid to months and life in prison for the murder of swedish journalist kim wall madsen was found guilty of killing and dismembering

wall aboard his self submarine after she went there to interview him at least fifty people have been killed in indonesia after an oil well exploded in the country's i watch a private flames from the explosion reached seventy meters high and destroyed several homes the victims were collecting oil from the war hole when the blast occurred authorities say the well may have been drilled illegal. in india a high profile self-proclaimed guru has been sentenced to life in prison this after the court found. guilty of raping a sixteen year old follower back in two thousand and thirteen he is also one trial in another case in the state of. international donors have pledged about four and a half billion dollars in emergency aid for syria and its neighbors but the total is well short of what the u.n. says is needed speaking at the donor conference in brussels the e.u.'s foreign policy chief frederica augury need called on russia iran and turkey to force

a stop to the fight. bombed out cities and a life without a future after years of war thirteen million syrians are heavily dependent on humanitarian assistance but aid organizations are running quickly out of cash at the donors conference on syria and brussels agencies were hoping to raise additional funds from the international community germany pledged an extra one billion euros. just get. it to the national funds are sorely needed by people who have suffered under this war for seven years now and we will only join efforts to rebuild the country however once there is a political solution to the conflict or for the involvement is based on this condition. but syria is far from finding a political solution according to syrian media the latest footage shows the

bombardment of aya strongholds by the syrian government in south and damascus in the year of the conflict observers fear a further escalation. in brussels officials from the european union and the united nations hoped to direct attention to the situation of the civilian population. there was basically a collapse of excess compared to last year for people in besieged and hard to reach areas there are still lots of parts of the country where the aid agencies don't have the access they need to reach the meet the needs of even very. severely disadvantaged people in the most acute need. about half of all refugees within syria are children aid organizations are calling for the reconstruction of schools and the expansion of the so-called deescalation zones so many children out of

school they are loosing their future and what we have basically are doing is stealing these children's future twice first they are forced to flee their homes because of war and then we steal their future once again by not providing an education to them donor countries have pledged their support to syria on a humanitarian level and there is at least hope that the conference might have to stood political will to end the military conflict. are doing is here now with yet another chapter in the saga that's right brant it's fixed steel gates finished friend don't worry about any more cop out supply the boss claiming it sold the emissions problem it's new technology apparently allows engines to meet and even beat future diesel emissions limits saying the breakthrough uses innovations in the fuel injection system combining smart temperature management with artificial intelligence the technology is not new but the combination is bosch says production

could begin immediately the german firm itself is under investigation for supplying carmakers with cheap devices that would insists it didn't know what the components were being used for. greg from the ngo transport and environment for his take on today's announcement from bosch. well boss claims to have found the holy grail to clean diesel which is a technology which will work however the car is driven at no extra cost and with no loss of efficiency but i think customers will be skeptical because we've had many past claims that diesel is now clean which you've proved to be simple greenwash the reality is that how effective this technology is will depend on how it is actually fit each of the vehicles and that is not posses responsibility that lies with the automakers themselves so it remains to be seen how good this technology really will be. and here is the reaction to boston's so-called breakthrough from our markets

reporter in frankfurt kannan bruce whether shares of the car makers have not been ignited by this story today you know the these little cheating at folks who are brought about a whole cartel of wrongdoing in the industry including bosch i've included the state officials who failed to effectively control the diesel emissions this has destroyed a lot of confidence among investors i talked to a car analyst today here at the exchange who wouldn't believe the news at first we had to look at the press release twice i think it means a lot of time for investors to believe in good news and things like again. here in germany the handover messer is in full swing an excuse for a beer it looks like the annual gathering is one of the best places to get a look at the cutting edge technology transforming manufacturing automation is

advancing in leaps and bounds these days but according to a recent o.e.c.d. study the fear of robots taking over most of our jobs is overblown. fears that factories will soon operate without human labor are easing it likely has something to do with changing attitudes about robots they were once seen as brutish work courses that would make human workers obsolete now they're acknowledged as skilled in agile collaborators. advances in artificial intelligence have made machines smarter and easier to operate they don't require programmers today's robots can even respond to simple hand gestures. they're also aware of their surroundings able to pause if there's any interference researchers or even developing a kind of electronic skin that can sense objects without direct contact. get what i was got his eye robots don't need to stop their sensors can allow them to

interact with humans with the kind of physical give and take of a dings and approaching. co bots are a newer class of lightweight robots that work closely with people there are a niche product that have been around about ten years now. danish company universal robots are pioneers in the sector it wish but you know it's become and the original idea came from three students who basically wanted to design a robot that could help them make a pizza in the evening and if it so it was just a crazy idea from students thinking outside the box that ended up becoming an industrial product with. a product projected to see rapid growth the market is expected to increase ten fold over the next five years meanwhile more and more data is being collected uplink and analyzed allowing systems to run more seamlessly many customers are nervous about their personal data disappearing into the cloud so now with edge computing data can be processed near the source instead of in the cloud.

deck was the thought is that history and the big advantage is that the technological domain is very localized now which allows me to apply our domain technology know how quickly right at the source and thought that may be enough to convince the naysayers we may soon see a workplace where humans and machines create products together as a team a harmonious work environment with data globes and artificial intelligence it's still just the developers vision but even that underlines the likelihood that humans will remain in control. and tech says now when twitter posted its quarterly. a few months ago it's sauced even many wondered if the results were just a flash in the pan but the micro-blogging sites latest quarterly earnings show otherwise something cisco sun has posed a sixty one million dollars profit that's pasta expectations shows the core advertising driven business is in good shape despite regulators turning

a more skeptical eye towards social media companies but twitter shares plunged business in the us isn't running this hot as it was and management is tight lipped about for costs from a wall street correspondent called. the mood on wall street who remains a shaky twitter for example just for the second time in their company's history they were able to report a profit that came in better than expected they also had more monthly users than expected but the stock sold off in the wednesday session losing about four percent the reason is pretty simple investors on wall street do not trade the past but the future and the outlook of twitter was not as strong as expected and that seems to be the case for many corporations right now who report record numbers but still stock prices are under pressure because there is some discussion if u.s.

corporations are able to actually sustainably keep those profits as high on top of it again the ten year treasury yield moving across the psychologically important three percent mark so that old saw it did cause some pressure here on wall street debt becomes more expensive and there is this debate going on if sooner or later the u.s. actually might face cooling of economic growth. it's called almost three and invest as a bidding up the price all that facebook in after hours trading results just out show with us quarter profits up sixty three percent to five billion dollars and it didn't lose uses in the wake of the cambridge analytical data mining scandal facebook has been working hard to clear up the fallout of the scandal which sold the private data of millions of users leaked online the bad press has hurt facebook stock price but she has headed north to not. only business now one hundred back

over to but do you think very much the jewish does that make people here in berlin a target of hate or in the wake of an attack last week berlin's jewish community appears divided today two thousand people protested in berlin against anti-semitism and they wore a kippa in solidarity the wear kippah rally was a response to a recent assault on an israeli wearing a jewish skullcap the alleged attacker a syrian migrant struck him with a belt in shelton anti semitic insults yesterday the leader of germany's jewish community warned jews to avoid wearing the kibble in public in cities such as berlin and munich. when a poll in our political correspondent thomas sparrow he was sent the the winner where's the keep of solidarity march e.v.g.a. you know most of you there are two completing messages at the moment call sheen

versus solidarity what was the key message at that event where you were today well the key message probably lies somewhere in between in between those two elements that you mentioned because on the one hundred it became very clear today brant that protests at that march that some of the of the cases that we've seen in recent days in recent weeks and not necessarily isolated incidents they are rather part of a larger problem and a problem that is becoming more visible that something that was clear today with the people that were presenting their different opinions on the other hand when you spoke to some of the people who attended the march and some of the speakers as well what was also clear is that the solidarity has to come from across society from all different parts of society and that incidents semitic incidents irrespective of where they come from cannot be accepted and cannot become part of germany's daily life that was something else that speakers stress today so zero tolerance for those

kinds of incidents irrespective of where they come from and we are seeing the german chancellor angela merkel she says there is a new form of anti-semitism that is emerging do we know what she means by that. well most cases most anti semitic cases that have been reported to police some sort of right motive there are also incidence that i link to the far left scene but what i'm going to pull is pointing to in that quote that you say the fact that some new forms of anti-semitism may have arrived in germany with some of the refugees that came to the country those three different types of of anti-semitism are obviously three different types of anti-semitism that authorities are trying to tackle and what we learned today germany was being done to prevent the resurgence of influence images well it was obviously clear today that this is

a problem that authorities have to tackle and the federal government is already starting to tackle it by appointing its first commission against anti semitism he will start his work in in may and they have also been called brain for other types of action whether it is better databases to report the incidence or stronger support for organizations that are combat ing the semitism or even prevention prevention seems to be an absolutely key aspect here trying to work in schools and in neighborhoods so that these cases are not repeated so there's certainly a lot that the authorities both at the federal level to state they will have to do in order to tackle this problem or who responded to almost zero on this story for us tonight here in berlin thomas thank you. well germany's biggest music. is no more the award and the award ceremony wore suspended indefinitely today in a scandal over an album containing anti-semitic lyrics. a gangsta rap.

one the best hip hop category for an album in which they compared themselves to prisoners they have since apologized but the decision unleashed a storm of protests with many german stars handing back their end. here's a reminder of the top stories that we're following for you. joint session of the u.s. congress he used the occasion to stress the historic bought shared ideals between france and the u.s. he called for international cooperation to protect the plant. after a short break i'll be back to take you through. that.
