saving migrants from the sea horowitz or a crime the trial gets underway in greece of a man who says that he was rescued thousands of stricken syrians prosecutors though say its actions amount to people smuggling we'll go live to the courthouse in less focused. i'm sara kelly welcome to the program thanks for joining us we had to moscow now where vladimir putin has been sworn in for an historic term as president some five thousand guests attended the inauguration ceremony at the kremlin which was planned as a low key affair to avoid bad publicity who won a decisive victory in march if more than seventy five percent of the vote but critics have accused him of corrupt. and silencing dissent voices. he

follows a weekend antipathy to protests in several russian cities with more. with police arresting more than one thousand five hundred demonstrators. and that ceremony happening just moments ago our correspondent in moscow emily sure went has been following all of the developments for us she joins us now so i mean what message did putin send at this swearing in ceremony. well in his inauguration speech he said that it was important to focus on internal issues now he mentioned specifically economic development and also the need to improve. education and health services in the country also several times mentioned the importance of traditional family values specifically motherhood and he also

said that looking back you know it's not always been easy for russia but that russia has the capability to rise from the ashes like a phoenix now it's also interesting to look at the symbolism of the ceremony we initially saw fruit in just in a shirt he ended up putting on his jacket you saw him at his desk sort of getting his hands dirty ready to work ready to keep working as it were and he also it's interesting to note he drove not a mercedes this time but a russian made cars so that's obviously a signal that they're sending there to the international community as well that russian industries are doing just fine despite western sanctions and also it was interesting to see former chancellor gerhard schroeder there in the front rows right next to prime minister or former prime minister. kind of as an important ally a symbol of course that russia does have some international allies just by rising

pressure from the west as well and in the meantime we heard that there were protesters over the weekend ahead of the ceremony they were out on the streets there in russia what is generally speaking the mood among russians you know perhaps those who were not in the building during the ceremony as putin begins his fourth term. well you know as you say there were there were widespread protests across russia and people came out under the motto he's not our czar so that was obviously a nod to this inauguration ceremony that was taking place today. now it is worth noting of course that. putin won basically by a landslide in the last elections over seventy five people seventy five excuse me seventy five percent of people voted for him so and also there are some numbers now

as well that say that around fifty percent of people feel that putin returned russia status as a great power so i think despite these protests the over arching mood here is one of support. i believe share one with the latest from moscow thank you emily. now let's get more now on the german reaction to gladden report and swearing and we are joined here in the studio by stephanie shifter she is joining us this afternoon from the european platform for democratic elections thank you so much for being on the program russia's relationship with germany of course and other e.u. countries is strained to say the least any hopes that it could improve in the fourth term what is your outlook i think the big hopes. definitely become open russia and in germany relations will finally improve it's really to be to appease to to be so and to stay so and i think it's it's could be easily improved by if

russia would implement totally implement them into greenland is russia would revise an extension of the crimea and there would be a better environment for citizens in gauge woman or civil society and for basic human rights and the russian federation that's quite a wish list there i'm curious to hear if you think it's realistic and especially i'd like to know in this particular context because you know as we just heard gary hart schroeder was also at the swearing in ceremony he was anglo-american predecessor a social democrat of course as chancellor and we know that you know merkel is working with the social democrats again in a coalition what are you expecting from this new coalition in terms of putting pressure on russia going forward in order to achieve some of those aims in that wishlist that you mentioned i think there should be and there's also a mixture of from pressure and from incentives and offer of dialogue is always there from the german side a definitely under him concerning the new government and the new social democrat of

foreign minister over we all expect i think so just like in russia under term and also expect a more realistic approach and structure this unfortunately means a more critical project because situation is so that we have to have critical ice on the situation of the russian federation. a new new approach from the social democrats in general with a generation change in the social democrats should be a should be necessary no how could it possibly be more critical i mean sanctions are in place what could possibly be more critical more sanctions. not necessarily more sanctions but a clear clear dialogue and. clear view on international interests also from russia and germany you have a spare a strong network of russian interests also in germany because lobbyists and his political influence and i think we have to have to be quite quite clear and also of the efforts of those who try to influence public public opinion in germany frew

russian media is a point where we should be very careful going to talk for a moment about public opinion because you know there's an interesting dynamic here within germany because on the one hand you have human rights advocates which really loathe putin on the other hand you have. it you know russian germans who support him. how does that influence government policy and what is the balance right i think it was russian germans it's interesting russian germans have been the focus of media interest the during the truman elections. i would say that is not you create the kind of save addressing germans are appalled protein russian germans they vote historically in germany for a quarter for the c.d.u. christian democrats are very akin alleged before his historical afford to bring them to germany and van not necessary for putin so but they are. a target of interest of a war german new right wing party ifi and also from the kremlin side this is

something we have to if you care about it we want to thank you so much for joining us this afternoon to share your perspective on the swearing in the inauguration of lattimer putin stephanie schaeffer from the european platform for democratic elections we've mentioned. well we're going to turn now to a european leader who has been on the charm offensive as he looks to assert his authority at home and abroad we of course talking about french president emmanuel mccrone and today it marks one year since he took office armed with the catchphrase france's back he promised to drive through reforms that would revitalize the french economy and he's traveled the world in a bid to position himself as europe's most visible leader but how successful have his efforts been our correspondent georg mathis reports. this was his moment of triumph. emmanuel mccall the newcomer who led the on march movement shook up france's political establishment defeated the far right national

front and introduced a new style of government. horse . drawn thousand times such a powerful leader for decades. even on the show the goal of the presidency wasn't such a top down operation it can be brought all this about by himself this is not a president who conquers a party but rather a party that took shape after his victory. in disavowing the long standing right left political spectrum has tried to join pro e.u. forces with those opposed to globalization has tried to unite right leaning business leaders with left leaning intellectuals what remains is a splintered opposition which has served to fuel power to get down the. this has enabled him to introduce rapid and radical reforms especially in the job market the

railway system. something even nicolas sarkozy didn't manage to do. but not cause domestic politics have made him a polarizing figure it is ambitious european agenda that's won him more praise in france he wants to introduce a special finance minister with a separate budget and an army. from is back wife germany's struggle to form a government the french president used that time to claim leadership at the european level since taking office one year ago in london mccall has sought to become as europe's main spokesperson in europe for europe especially in regards to follow the new members and in transatlantic policy. now the european spotlight has shifted to mexico away from the german. or something on the america will have to get used to after her central role on the european stage went virtually unchallenged for so long mcconnell have to assert himself to stabilize his claim to

leadership. will soon be able to determine specially in regard to the crisis in the middle east whether france will represent a new independent voice. it's too soon to tell if this display represents a solid policy shift that's something emanuel will have to prove on the world stage . and for more let's bring in data for his very own standing by with the latest from paris. he's talked a good talk but what has he really achieved after here. well the list is actually quite long first of all one should emphasize of course of the pro-labor legislation which he has pushed through making it easier for french businesses to hire and fire people then of course he has made

a lot of business trips a lot of visits to a lot of countries traveled a hundred sixty thousand kilometers and that without doubt helped to improve that image of france being back on the world stage and then of course with regards to the e.u. he has started to bring the budget back into balance where towards the e.q. lines of the limits set by the e.u. but there's a lot of channel just gets to come for instance the pensions he wants to reform it's a very complex system here in france very rigid and then of course he wants to revitalize europe so a lot of tests yet yes to face. tests is also with regard to his popularity because if we just look at what you know french people think apparently two thirds of them are actually dissatisfied with him and we know that tens of thousands have also staged protests as well against those reforms that you were referring to how is he dealing with this. why is it approaches one to be never

apologetic never to regret his decisions at lest is that is how he has put it across as so he sticks to his line he faces problems head on and of course the dazzle you know off the first days when i was reporting here one year ago when everybody was excited has has a bit and not as much. as with a number of his previous sessions for instance she doc told me to all about a lot he's doing a lot better than than his direct read assesses. to see for instance and i think he has managed to use that momentum really to make most of it in order to push through reforms and of course has announced seeing that he's facing this resistance that for instance in the second phase of his presidency he wants to focus on the plan for the vulnerable. matus with the latest from paris thank you.

let's get a quick check now some other stories that have been making news around the world in lebanon the shiite militia group hezbollah has set is set rather to win a majority in parliament that's according to preliminary results from sunday's elections but they will be required to govern with a sunni prime minister most likely western backed prime minister saad hariri. and some two thousand people on hawaii's big island have been evacuated from their homes that's has new fissures have opened up part of ongoing volcanic activity at least twenty six homes have been destroyed and officials say that volcanic gases pose a threat to anyone still in the area. and a trial is underway today on the greek island of lesbos that could have major implications for the migration crisis in europe prosecutors have accused a humanitarian worker of people track trafficking and say that he is actually

a criminal but salaam says that he has saved thousands of lives and believes that he is being targeted by authorities to discourage more migration to europe we will hear from our correspondent who has been covering the trial in just a moment but first the support. by many he's seen as a hero in two thousand and fifteen. and to pronounce from denmark decided to change his life. i saw the picture of. quite shocked to visit after. i was sitting on the plane on the way to. the photo of the three year old syrian boy made global headlines lying dead on the beach after drowning in the mediterranean the european migrant trances was at its peak and with around three thousand people arriving each day the greek island of less sparse was

a hotspot. actually in the water i have my body was in the water and i looked back and i saw all the refugees like old people like children women. and i want to scream i really want to be like scream and cry in the same moment i was thinking where's the help how come is there is nobody here and then like from that very changed my life. at first thought he'd go help for a week but one week quickly turned into five months. he assembled a crew of other volunteers they called themselves team humanity and bought a rescue boat funded by donations. to group work day and night helping migrants make the treacherous landing on a less sparse at its closest point the crossing from turkey to greece is only ten kilometers but the overcrowded boats regularly sank calling the course going to say i'm a child my. police come and. take a child i don't know what to do it's

a little girl. saying to me keep little be there we're coming in for like twenty one twenty four hours. it was a twelve year old girl she lost her life in the sea. so. me and my team would be great. for six hours. buried the family if you bury children and there is something wrong with this world . it is something profitable on. one january night everything changed the greek coast guard arrested team humanity at sea foreign gene it felt like a betrayal many times i've been helping coast guard because their boat couldn't rescue people it was people in the water for a lot of people in the water and the way it was so big that i put my life in danger to rescue them greek authorities accused deen of people smuggling if you stand

guilty he faces life in prison. rights groups say the case is politically motivated to discourage small boats from setting sail for europe. were given licenses for what. for saving life saving children. one day is going to be them. running who knows it's going to be running. an absolutely incredible story of karen monica johns now is here with some figures from the oil market and change of pace and have to some business right at least the surprising figures there i can tell you that much key crude oil prices rose to the highest level since twenty fourteen this monday so the old law of supply and demand seems no longer true just last week there were reports that oil stocks in the united states are growing so oil prices this should be for ling but prizes are

continuing to rise well partly because of the unstable political situation in the middle east and opec's policy of fuel subsidies but the price of bread to crude oil has gone up by sixty six percent since last summer one barrel of the black stuff currently costs just under seventy six u.s. dollars the main force behind it all seems to be saudi arabia which is keeping supply short on the political risk factors also contributing u.s. president on a trump announced that he will decide this week whether or not to withdraw from the iran nuclear agreement. well it might be best known for nescafe the world's top selling instant coffee but now swish the food's dry and nestle is teaming up with a coffee chain starbucks nestle is set to pay starbucks more than seven billion dollars to form a global coffee alliance that will allow it to market starbucks products outside

the american companies coffee shops starbucks hopes this will boost its food and coffee products which already generated around two billion dollars in annual sales and nestle expects the deal to strengthen its position in the north american market . and that is a deal i would like to discuss now a bit further with daniel corp of our national correspondent in frankfurt who found a fitting position there outside a starbucks coffee shop in frankfurt probably not far away from the frankfurt stock exchange so tell me how is this deal going down with investors. you know how there monica from a very sunny frankfurt investors seem to be pretty much excited about this deal shares of messages are being traded at the s.m. i went up to a level of about one per cent already throughout the day investors are liking this news because of different reasons first they are thinking that new a synergy is will be able to create it and also

a possible cost cutting could be in effect in general we have to remember that the coffee industry is a very booming industry that's what investors are telling me just in two thousand and seventeen saw last year the average german was buying about four point two kilogram of coffee investors also think that nestle with this deal will have better access to the north american market we have to remember that mostly the united states and canada extremely important for the coffee industry you authorities will still need to approve the deal if it's going to be approved it's said to be done by the end of this year ok so let's just clarify that for us i mean you just mentioned german coffee drinkers and how much they consume what exactly does this deal mean for consumers what do they get from who. yeah exactly what i'm standing in front of a starbucks coffee shop at the moment everything that is being sold inside of the

store so coffee beans cakes everything inside of the store that that with it will be still handled by starbucks but the other market is very important and that's where nest basically is jumping in everything being sold in the supermarket so if you go to a supermarket and you want to enjoy starbucks coffee at home all of this will be now handled and done by nestle the c.e.o. of starbucks calling all of this by the way a historic agreement all right let's leave it at that then in front is a much. well shares in air france tumbled more than thirteen percent on the paris stock exchange following the departure of the troubled airlines c.e.o. . announced his resignation friday night after staff rejected a pay deal this fall it away from strikes that have cost the carrier three hundred million euros as it aims to cut costs to compete with leno rivals france's economy
