israeli astronaut city rain in targets across syria overnight sparking fears of a wider conflict breaking out now israel's prime minister says the attacks were appropriate because iran had crossed a red line. a fireball in the sky over damascus syrian state television showed these images said to be syrian anti-aircraft defenses targeting israeli rockets israel's defense ministry said its forces hit over fifty iranian positions across syria prime minister binyamin netanyahu gave the justification. of iran has crossed a red line our response was appropriate our army has carried out a large scale attack on iranian targets in syria we're engaged in a long term conflict and our policy is clear we will not allow iran to establish a military presence in syria. iran provides political and military backing for the regime of syrian president bashar al assad in the country's civil war israel says

it strikes a retaliation for a rocket attack on territory a talky prize in the golan heights according to israel iranian militants fired the rockets from syria but none of them reach that target. the iranian leadership has not commented on the events a news reader only said that syrian defense forces had been very successful accounts of casualties and damage cause very widely. yes. and you know the israeli rockets took the lives of three martyrs two others were injured a radar station and an ammunition depot were destroyed. but syrian opposition sources say losses were much higher with at least twenty three dead. tensions remain high on the golan heights the israeli army has sent reinforcements to its northern border. correspondent is that monitoring developments from neighboring beirut welcome shall israel says it was responding to an iranian attack on the

golan heights why would iran target that area. but the reason iran would do target golan heights is because going on is occupied territory it was occupied by israel in the sixteen nineteen sixty seven war israel has since an extent even though the international community does not recognize so essentially it on this saying that we're not talking israel we're targeting occupied territory. and that sort of for is a measured response i'd say which means that iran has no on just send a very strong message but a measured message there because this is century is largely believed to be revenge for the seventy dominance who were killed last month when israeli struck an eternal base in syria so has iran confirmed that it believes indeed launched those missiles . they actually have been to the contrary they have said that they have not lost

any slides and this is all a good sign it's propaganda which means the onus is now on those released to prove as they say that these were iranian strikes indeed though i have to here add that on monday the army chief did not are mince words see that iran will respond and on will seek its revenge regarding the incident i mentioned earlier also the iranian parliament the defense committee says that only iranian advisors on the ground know fighters which is a little strange because this is iran's proxy they are on the ground that parsley next several fighters of several militia militias who been trained by the hezbollah are in this area. on the part which is still under siege in control so these are all our fighters funded. by either the i r g c the revolutionary guard all his blood which has been trained by our g.c. so this certainly have a huge presence on the ground and we know that israel has been carrying out strikes

on iranian targets in syria for several weeks this is clearly a significant escalation how close are they to all out war. where you know there's always that fear and now with this escalation in. recent subsidy. sources in both iran and israel say that they don't want it to escalate any further they don't want a full fledged war so maybe the better sense will prevail and we will not have a wider conflict nor how can one not have a wider conflict the question is that israel has drawn a red nine that they don't want to iranians they don't want to run in assets on the ground in syria they don't want iran to expand and severe and iran has not done anything or said anything to suggest that they will back off so eventually you really are looking at a serious confrontation it may happen now it may happen later. until for a speaking to me earlier from beirut now the governments of russia and germany have

criticised the escalating tensions in the middle east and underlined their intention to preserve the iran nuclear deal they spites america's withdrawal welcoming his german counterpart on his first visit to moscow russian foreign minister sergey lavrov stressed that the remaining signature is the deal should discuss how best to keep it alive i comb asked express german i said that russia would use its close ties to iran to convince them to stick with that they only went on to outline some of the issues still damaging relations between germany and russia this is. a phrase keep on this and he got a goof get much by d.m. office also garments. on this feel it vies it get. the no that's all in german native language relents if you can provide a translation a little lighter a movie on i date and venue for the much signal summit between u.s.

president donald trump and north korea's supreme leader kim jong un has been announced it will take place on the twelve june in singapore with the trump tweeted be announcement shortly after welcoming home three americans who've been released from detention in north korea he described their release as a sign of goodwill from pyongyang. he was nearly three in the morning but the u.s. president and the first lady were on hand to greet the freed captives from a north korean labor camp to reception with the u.s. president it all happened in less than a day for these three men their release was the moment their families had dreamed of.

really great. right. the three men are kim jong il tony kim and kim phuc song all are americans who were imprisoned in north korea for between one and two years for quote anti-state activities the charges are widely seen as bogus. secretary of state mike pompei i made a thirteen hour visit to the hermit kingdom to arrange the planned summit between trump and kim jong on in the process pump air also secured the men's release. the country is notorious for its harsh labor camps. around the world we were treated in many different ways. for me i had to do

a lot of labor. in. the world money but when i got sick i was also treated by them you know if i want to go to the last. trump seems to think this is a sure sign that kim is ready to reconcile he even thanks the north korean leader for freeing the men but kim is every bit as unpredictable as his american counterpart and it's unclear if today show peacemaking will lead to actual peace. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world attackers armed with guns and knives struck a mosque near to the south african city of durban on thursday stabbed to death one man and seriously injuring two others the mosque in the town of verilog was also satellites motive is not know of the suspects are said to be an egyptian man. a one hundred four year old man who drew international attention to his right to die cases ended his life in a swiss clinic and his final hours david good old listen to beethoven's ode to joy

back row has challenged european governments to unite in an increasingly complex and troubled world speaking in the german city of arkan he said the idea of european integration has been thrown into doubt and that it was up to today's leaders whether to make it or was to make it live all leave it to die he spoke after receiving are in suppressed it just charlemagne prize. an award for contributions to european unity a topic very close to french president emmanuel maccollins heart many of the dignitaries attending the ceremony had warm words from a call on including the german chancellor angela merkel she said she thought mcconnell was the perfect recipient for the prize. emmanuel mccall knows what binds europe together the man has a clear vision of how europe should move forward. and emmanuelle mccrone him as a capacity to inspire others in the service of your. knuckle referred to

global conflicts european space and stressed the need for calm in the middle east. we are all we know that we are facing an extremely complicated situation there on the recent escalation shows us that this is really about war and peace and i can only call all participants to exercise restraint. in his acceptance speech mccaughan urge the nations of europe to rise in unison to the challenges they face and not to turn inwards let it go and in difficult times the temptation to be nationalistic is a big one to close ourselves in and to think of it on a national level it is easier to master challenges and to find our sovereignty because on the european level it is still nascent and fragile. and the french president spoke of the importance of the franco german partnership. only in france many people tell us go ahead go confront germany this is the solution germany is

old they don't want to reform europe they only want to benefit from europe i know that this is wrong and i'm never going to listen to that temptation just because you know man you. know with those sentiments she reaffirmed her commitment to mcallen's vision and she said she would follow him as he attempts to implement his plans the real task for the french president however is to persuade his skeptics. you're watching d.w. news live from then still to come a stunning power shift cemented in malaysia and the two year old mahathir mohamad as foreign as prime minister in opposition parties to power for the first time in the country's history. google has astounded tech fans with the announcement of a new artificial intelligence feature that you can tell us well that's right phil how would you like a twenty four seventh's secretary on standby that's all google wants to do with their annual developers conference which is wrapping up today the tech giant is

once again to use the event to give the world a taste of things to come google wowed the crowd with a planned update to its digital assistant which will soon be able to take care of booking appointments by placing its own phone calls check this out. google hopes its digital assistant for mobile devices will soon replace secretaries around the world at their annual developer conference c.e.o. sunday peaches showed what he claimed was the next generation. the first voice you hear is google's revamped assistant i predicted before wednesday that. they would leave. it for four people for peavy. a wednesday six pm. a cell phone making reservations for its users google's calling it project duplex and it's just one example of how they hope artificial intelligence and machine learning could improve user experience tech

companies are taking advantage of powerful new processors self adapting algorithms plus new cellular networks and the result google says it's a system for the end droid operating system will sell more realistic have more interactive conversations and carry out more actions for users meaning using a cell phone could soon look like this fix them right take a look at table four sounds good it will call my brother take all my. experiments and. me we'll bring what google's you know i push extends beyond its mobile division he say the technology will soon streamline their photos and other desktop applications. creepy ole exciting well are until it's an is a resident techie and you can tell us all about what all the implications for this technology are you making calls an album off well the implications are enormous and they come from every side of the equation as we saw there in the report and

basically what we're talking about is google has developed kind of a well kind of a chat bot but for phones that acts independently of its users basically a user can as we saw there ask its phone to book a reservation either just get a haircut maybe at a restaurant and on just let it go off and make calls by itself actually i mean just so viewers really get a handle of what this is about i think we have a clip let's watch actually this thing in action once again. i like the government haircut track i am i'm looking for something i'm a parrot. to live in the wall i. can. do i what time are you boil over. at. we do not have both pointed out about quote that we have no one. having that hand and that. susie is dealing with a difficult situation where a person isn't quite understanding them the eyes having to react it's making an oz

like it's a real pos and this is a bit scary and a bit strange when is this going to go well as it go from just booking simple appointments what i mean let's get back your first question i mean just to start off with the ethical implications here are really kind of the big thing because typically when we interact with our devices it's a it's a one way street i'm the one who makes the decision of how i'm going to be using my device but if suddenly i can have like this chat bot basically going out making calls for me suddenly another person is involved in the transaction so suddenly you know when i'm saying i'm using my device i'm giving my permission to use the device but if suddenly it's calling someone else then there's a huge ethical quandary there because they don't know that they're actually talking to a computer that's what we saw a right there they don't know that they're speaking to a computer so does the computer have to notify them saying this is a computer i can actually really deal as a normal individual but you're talking to a computer does it have to let them know in advance can only be used for

reservations had whistles tying itself up in ethical knots here but let's get back to business where does it come to the bottom line where do they make money from this well that is really kind of the big question i mean you have to think back to siri the first days of digital assistants when siri came out for the i phone four s. it was the killer app it was the big thing everybody wanted to have now siri has kind of fallen by the wayside unless really years apple hasn't pushed it as fast as the other tech companies and i think it's really been left in the dust by the google systems we saw here and i think that's really what google is focusing on by incorporating more machine learning artificial intelligence it's improving the overall they're improving the overall user experience or trying to streamline it and make it that much more attractive kind of apple like. did years ago but better than they were doing but ok and last question can competitors catch up to this well that is the big question everybody's working in these digital assistants right now but of course google has more information has access to more in-depth profiles of all its users than any other company out there is a basically they have

a huge foot forward when it comes to developing this tech of course everybody is trying to keep up but based on the amount of information out there i think google really has the there are one step ahead of the game ok as long as they don't all tomatoes i think everything will be fine thank you very much are until today. on the stay with us tech apple has a shell of its plans for an eight hundred fifty million year old data center in islands county galway the company's sites and ongoing three a court battle with conservationists as the reason the activists were concerned about the environmental impact of the site which the company planned to occupy nearly one hundred seventy thousand square meters including forest land apples promises to make good any damage done to power the center with renewable energy could not save the project. could u.s. sanctions bring down chinese smartphone makers said t. the company saying it's forced to cease major operations last month the u.s.

malaysia's prime minister completing a stunning political shift that's brought the country's opposition to power for the first time ever is or was so expected that analysts of rantis alongside donald trump's u.s. presidential victory and the brits it referendum in terms of a political upset. an old political face is back to rule in a new government coalition following a historic and surprising election ninety two year old material hammad has been sworn in as malaysia's seventh prime minister making him the world's oldest elected leader it's a role he knows how to play here served as malaysia's prime minister from the one nine hundred eighty one to two thousand and three but that was part of. the coalition that ruled malaysia continuously since independence from the united kingdom in one nine hundred fifty seven for this election mahathir emerged from retirement to form an opposition alliance that brought down his former allies winning a majority of the two hundred twenty two seat parliament. it

was a stunning defeat for barzan nasional few believe that six decades rule led by now ousted prime minister najib razak would really end but b.n. support had been slipping especially among its core base of ethnic malay voters who make up the majority of the country's thirty two million people many may lays have been frustrated by rising cost of living and ross has been battling corruption allegations here seized on these difficulties now he's back in charge taking his country down an unknown political path for the first time in malaysia's history. of fifty years ago a student revolt in the country's largest general strike brought france to a near standstill as part of an international movement against the vietnam war in favor of sexual liberation it started university to the north of paris today

students blocking off the university again protesting against the reform that would limit to university access and they hope to channel the spirit of may nine hundred sixty eight. the. colonel is determined to defend her country's social welfare system. she and her fellow students are trying to enter one of the universities auditoriums to hold a general assembly they feel that force is their only option leaving them alone and you think that no one listens to our demands either the government nor the university we are obliged to stage events that disrupt people's everyday lives to make them pay attention to see who is really the students are protesting against new reforms introduced by president. changes would make it harder to get into university they would also make it easier to lay off workers and increase checks on the unemployed. and it was there ripping apart our social model everybody's on the

attack students workers the unemployed and we have a sort of historic responsibility here in montana as soon as our university joined the movement the media started to pay a lot more attention to our demands made sixty eight is giving us a mental. flaws put on was there when the student movement started fifty years ago the students were revolting against what they saw as an outdated model of society where the. room was so weak. that was the historic moment when we occupied the administration's board room on the eighth floor with similar incite people we've given them. a day earlier fellow students had attacked a branch of the us company american express in paris to protest against the vietnam war one of the students was arrested. and was she didn't know i was living on campus we all came together and started yelling free our com right then we decided

to block off the university that was a march twenty second. this is the one year later huge student demonstrations kicked off in paris we joined other students at the soul body and took part in all the demos and blockades. we're. going to be free to go just as. she marched together with prominent student leaders like daniel can bend it shortly after work has joined the demos asking for better working conditions. says maybe nine hundred sixty eight changed her life. meaning the only good news in the morning with the world at the time was so outdated in very authoritarian so what happened then was like an extraordinary breath of freedom we young women realised for the first time that we could be free and had the right not to be just like our mothers grandmothers in the civil view but also feels inspired by today's movement she says the students have good reason to fight for their rights. in the movie buku

continue of normal so it's not really. the world has become a long tough especially as unemployment has skyrocketed as the students have the strength of youth and are fighting for a better world we should listen to them as. professionals and we want to follow in your footsteps we have been telling people look at the time they were also fighting against a similar university reform and they managed to stop it but there are things we want to do differently you didn't achieve everything you were asking for. the students are determined to keep fighting until the government withdraws its reforms . the countdown to britain's royal wedding is on and people are flocking to windsor to get a look at the happy couple in the lego bricks that is prince harry i'm back in moscow the rest of the royal family of the new stars of the lego and on theme park not far from where the real wedding is due to take place at the seams made up of almost sixty thousand lego bricks and joints other the creations off

a dam bust in kenya's rift valley on wednesday evening homes were swept away as water rushed out a hillside and submerged a two kilometer area kenya had been suffering from severe drought but all sources say seasonal rains have not overwhelmed the parched land and caused the dam to bust let's get more from to germany's catherine and wanda rejoins us from kenya's capital nairobi and welcome catherine i start with the latest incident and county northwest of where you are or do we know about that. well what we know so far as of thursday evening the kenya red cross managed to rescue at least forty people . among the dead twenty children which is quite unfortunate this is a village of about four hundred fifty homes that was swept away so we had schools and hospitals and and you know vite vite facilities swept away in the process

what else we know is that this dam was on a private farm and it's still not clear whether it was rightfully old or rightfully built this still investigations on that matter there were if we're getting reports that there were repairs on the dam before. what the government right now is more concerned about is that because this is a farmland for large scale farming and there are a lot of downs for irrigation in this area there are about eight dams in this one particular day it's about four hundred million liters capacity that is threatening to burst as well so that's that's the latest that we have so far. with these rains followed a severe drought so one presumes up to a water level would have been low anyway this stage because of the drums yes but. what happens is that people build along

you know the rivers in the rivers burst their banks during the drought a lot of people move towards river sources and water sources and that was the problem majority of the problem especially in the coastal area so that's the situation where you've only just returned from one of the worst to hit regions melinda a new south east coast let's take a look at your report. another family arrives at one of the shelters in the russian remote area in kenya's coastal region this camp is the temporary home of at least two thousand two hundred people from surrounding villages. christina mali a single mother of six arrived here two weeks ago the family was evacuated by boat those little time to save their belongings most of what they have is borrowed including her children's textbooks. i'm

a farmer away and i had my little piece of land. i would sell the crops from the land to pay the school fees for my children now for you as he i have children in primary and secondary school i also had a little shock but that all went with the floods it's all gone so i. christine story reflects that of five thousand people living in shelters in the region many of them were just recovering from the severe drought that hit kenya last year local chief hopes that a majority will be able to return to their land and rebuild their lives have his worried that some farmlands have been so badly affected that some people may not be able to harvest anything for seasons to come. he says weather extremes have worsened over the last decades. but you may find them a people saying that this plan is similar to the one that took place in one thousand nine hundred sixty one. this is the worst that the oldest can remember he

even the frequent el nino rainfalls that we get here is a one compared to what is happening at the moment require hifi. all across the country water sources have been contaminated by the floods thirty help centers two hundred schools and thousands of homes have been damaged. the kenya red cross says it needs about four million u.s. school show to suit water and sanitation support to survivors. the coastal region is one of the worst affected regions aid agencies warn of the high risk of outbreak larry not just here in mumbai the city but also the rural areas that have been badly affected and the situation could get worse given that the rains don't seem to be letting up any time. back at the camp in the russian children can't wait to return to school but it's not clear if the schools in the region will open again christine has no idea how she will afford the fees for the next. thank

you catherine i want to nairobi catherine how when can people expect life to return to normal it's unexpected as of now the weatherman says that the rains will continue the unusual rains normally these are the around this time we have short rains before we go into the cold season but these rains have extended and some experts say that it's you know these are the effects of climate change where you have a prolonged drought and then you have you know gush of rain extreme weather patterns in the region but for the next two or so weeks the weatherman says it's going to be more rain. and wonder and i we thank you. nervous of good news for kenya indeed kenyans and in other swahili speakers can choke up when after a long campaign urging twitter to recognize the language the social media platform

has not changed its software so that it no longer confuses tweets in swahili for indonesian and therefore no longer provides gobbled translations it's the first time twitter has offered official recognition for an african language the show from d w media has more welcome liz what does this mean for so holly if for swahili speakers on the platform. well phil as a proud of myself i can tell you that this is a very big deal for as of course we don't need to translate that already in swahili but it might be useful for a person like you who doesn't speak swahili if you want to follow breaking news on twitter for example i'm going to have an ng in tanzania or in kenya then you can do that because you will get the translation immediately now before you would get something like this this is a service that twitter used to watch for so you come across a swahili tweet and just take a look at the bottom part there it asks you whether you want to translated from

indonesia and this really frustrated me and a lot of other swahili speaking of twitter users it gave rise to a grassroots campaign people telling the twitter founder jack dorsey please just know that swahili is not indonesian please do something about this and now phil twitter has heard there is now you can translate tweets in swahili to english or other languages for example this one here from a slightly newspaper of this is how you find out that is the savior for small farmers it doesn't work perfectly yet sometimes it doesn't recognise a swahili tweet for example this one here is from the times and president john michael fully it isn't perfect kiswahili except for the happy birthday there at the end but as you see there no question of whether you want your friends elated from kiswahili so this is something that they still need to work on no online translator is really perfect but at least it is

a start but how important is this recognition recognition of the swahili language. well you have more than one hundred million swahili speakers most of them are in east africa and this is especially important for countries where you have swahili as one of several official languages you have that for example in kenya and yes see in uganda rwanda burundi so that will help people know what this way speakers are talking about if you for example a french speaker or an english speaker what we want now want to twitter to do is to offer the service completely in swahili as well because that is not yet the case here for example it shows you that in the settings you can choose the language that you want to use twitter in about fifty languages are already being offered to swahili is one of them we want jack dorsey and his team everybody was working at twitter to please i remember one hundred million people they should offer because

a pro boxing ring when he lost to anthony joshua and then promptly retired is now ready to take on his next opponent doping as he told the w in an exclusive interview. what are your takeaways of their recent scandals related to dubbing it's definitely betraying. the philosophy of the sport it's about competing against each other and the best after we must win there are no teams that are outside of the ring for just only two gentlemen fight each other with the gesture and the one that uses his gesture better than the other will eliminate his opponent and going to be the winner so if you use doping and you fight me and i'm not it's basically you're cheating on me he said the state's poor set system a state sponsored activity and the state is interested in. making their efforts

a use darting just to show senate performance and this that the fact that not only yes there are different sports when you can run faster fine it's bad but alright if you use the opening and you run any win ok you get caught or if you didn't eventually will. but in boxing it's more about eliminating the other person physically so there is a lot of death in boxing history. in certain fights and then if you use the pink and you actually kill the other guy or girl because male and female bosses is even olympic sport so that that something goes beyond beyond ok or beyond lake or right. and you can hear more of a lot of make klitschko suggestions for cleaning up bugs on our website that state don't do dot com forward slash sports.

the major exhibition of works by the judge says the mc escher is currently on wagner and now he's best known for his i think magic and mathematical prince it's the artistic highlights of the city's yass european capital of culture kind of helps to form d w culture is here to tell us about it poke a carrot down feel this is the father that we were used to seeing perhaps not him but he's works of os exactly on account of this yes that's certainly where i encountered him many years ago and many people will of pos possibly seen posters a lot of people maybe don't even know his name but they certainly recognize his work so he became a really popular guy already back in the fifty's they were reprinting his prints quite widely and so he had in the end quite an effect on popular culture it's interesting that as a student his teachers didn't think that he was very promising a tall they thought that he was sort of too uptight not playful enough to actually

be. a proper artist but thankfully he trusted his own intuition so let's have a quick look at the at the exhibition which contains a lot of works from his earlier period. do these steps lead up or down. mc escher was a master of illusion. the dutch artist created works that appear on the surface to show realistic scenes but that violate physical laws. the exhibition ashes journeying in the dutch city of les of arden brings mc escher back to his home town. it's not only visitors to the popular show who are delighted ashers are captivates the curators to. what is always a great fascination about ashes work is the way he invites you to look closer and to look longer and say look again and. there is this constant need you want to

figure out what he's doing and where where the where does he trick you somehow you never really get behind this you never really see where he took you and that makes his work i think very fascinating. but there's more to this exhibition than the artist's famous impossible images to show tracks his path from the collected graphic artist to internationally acclaimed star in the early years of his career the dutchman focused on creating realistic landscapes he travelled through italy switzerland and spain searching for inspiration. as time passed his works increasingly diverged from reality one place in particular would leave a lasting impression. his travels through to the alhambra in spain is important because he saw the geometrical decorations in the palace started to copy them and this inspired him to go into a new direction so to speak and became an inspiration for his later prince as well

. even nearly fifty years after his death the work of mc escher remains mesmerizing. it's the work of an artist who truly saw the world with different eyes. you can see their feel he worked relentlessly on this technique of wood cutting as well as print making and you can see that really interesting sort of. evolution from these disorienting landscapes to. this deep obsession with these really complex patterns and tesselation as they're called and he really took geometry to quite a different level and i mean i mean it's sort of mathematical in its position and its views. the same time and it's incredible to learn that he really wasn't even any good at math and he never he never really studied he didn't have enough medical training. he didn't study math at least. even though you know he was always drawn

to these incredible problems and ideas that were preoccupying the mathematicians of the day so for a long time you know he felt very much that he was sort of between two worlds he was he was lodged between math and sciences and the art world. feeling quite lonesome and not properly accepted but quite early on mathematicians and science scientists of other kinds started to like what he was doing and it's very interesting in fact in one nine hundred fifty four the physicist and mathematician roger penrose saw an exhibition of escher's in amsterdam he saw this print here called relativity of these impossible forces of gravity so that inspired him to create this shape the penrose triangle which looks like a three dimensional object but could never really actually exist in three dimensions and he said this was in possibility in its purest form so this story's incredible because this penrose guy took that drawing to his father which inspired his father also puzzle freak. to create

a model that became known as the penrose stairway so now that was really interesting because when i got wind of that he actually published this he was completely enraptured and that led him to subsequently make this print we can have a look at it here ascending and descending it's called a visit from one thousand nine hundred in the toes shows the typically rest sort of endless continuum of life that became one of his most famous prints. and the penrose triangle is also resurfacing here in this work waterfall that you can see so there was this interesting loop closed loop of valuation between the scientists and the artist himself both feeding off one another as you sit there trying to work it out zero is not a word you can. look at the door at cardinal. literally inspect them for hours and it's quite fascinating so he has had a impact on popular culture beyond bathetic yeah well you can probably imagine that

back in the late sixty's his sort of mind bending vision of the world fit very perfectly with the hippie counterculture he was championed to something of a godfather of psychedelic art and you can also find a lot of his influences in film for instance here the musical fantasy labyrinth. thank god we have to stop there but you can see echoes of these stairs there is a no no no no i'm sorry late we don't have time harry potter fans will know what i'm talking about your first car and how seven i was going on show watching be tough.
