8:01 am
early returns and parliamentary polls show national shia cleric a top all star is a strong contender to become the country's next prime minister. and putting on normal life within reach for amputees a robotic hand that its maker says is closer than ever to the real thing. and in formula one fred lewis hamilton has found his groove again we'll tell you why he was leaping from his car and into the arms of his team in barcelona. i'm brian thomas a very warm welcome to the show now it is a highly controversial move on a politically loaded debate the u.s. moves its embassy in israel to jerusalem today on the seventieth anniversary of the
8:02 am
founding of the jewish state. last night israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu welcomed u.s. president donald trump's daughter of her husband jared kirshner and other american officials for a special state dinner but on voice from more than half of those countries that were invited did not show up the european union mission to israel for example tweeting that it respected the international consensus on jerusalem well the president's decision to move the u.s. embassy to this contested city is deeply controversial of course palestinians also claim jerusalem as their capital and him and now who was full of praise for the president's move i call on all countries to join the u.s. in moving their embassies to jerusalem. move your own pursuits to jerusalem because it's the right thing to do. and move
8:03 am
your embassies to jerusalem isn't didn't move your embassies to do some room because it'd. also right thing to do in advance of peace joining us now from jerusalem is our correspondent tanya crammer good morning tania we just heard the israeli prime minister there calling on other countries to follow the u.s. lead in bringing their embassies to jerusalem will they be doing so. well that's the big question here as well i mean that's certainly what israel is hoping for we just heard prime minister netanyahu there hoping that many other countries following the lead but as you said the israeli foreign ministry had given a reception on sunday evenin in on or off disintegration of the u.s. embassy which takes place today and a lot of diplomatic missions declined to send their representatives but having said that the international consensus is still that the status of to
8:04 am
be a negotiated between israelis and palestinians during final status negotiations and . having said that that other nations like we understand that. will move to embassies as early as this week to do so and so some offloading but the main part of the international community will not meet ok what about those are final status negotiations are you were talking about and the negotiations for a two state solution are they in limbo now we saw palestinian protests yesterday or are we going to see more of that today. well i think for palestinians it's a very mixed message tonight talked to a lot of them over the past days and you know the hope is really facing away what they wanted to see is that east jerusalem will become one day at the capital of
8:05 am
their independent state and everything what's happening right now they're seeing that this is not going to happen they feel that fifty years of military occupation . over twenty years of negotiations that went on and off there's not really any signal to them that anything will change the international community although they might boycott an event like yesterday but they're not really implicated at the moment in any kind of peace process now we understand the u.s. is also working on a new peace plan but palestinians are really a presence of this after seeing that decision on jerusalem now but protest it comes also at a very difficult time today it's historically at least israel is celebrating the foundation. of that state seventy years at the same time the palestinians are commemorating what they call nakba date morrow the last of their land nine hundred forty eight and you will see
8:06 am
a lot of gatherings and protests today in and around the occupied west bank but one of the biggest protests we're looking at today will be in gaza over the past seven weeks we had protests every friday very deadly protests and there is fear that a lot of people will go to the border some might try to breach the fence but palestinians in gaza say there should be a few still protests. tens of thousands are expected to go there so this is what we will be looking at today what will happen briefly if you could talk we have the president saw her husband. what's their there message. well i think sending tom's daughter. and says our christian is also part of this peace team working on. a new plan sends a signal to the israeli is that how close the relationship is how important it is for mr trump to make way with his election pledge to move the embassy however the
8:07 am
u.s. administration has given mixed sickness also and so this is one of the messages he certainly wants to send tanya kramer for us in jerusalem thanks very much for that tanya over to guard now and as israel celebrates its seventieth birthday business continues to hum along and surprise quite surprising actually because what kind of country do when it's natural environment is largely desert its neighbors at best not keen to trade with it you have a domestic market is tiny it has no role material security is a daily concern and international boycotts hit exports on a regular basis doesn't really sound like the place you want to start a business in but israel still somehow makes it work in recent years it actually has become a global leader for young entrepreneurs israel has the highest density of startups per capita in the world it is home to eight thousand startups with
8:08 am
a total population of barely nine million by comparison germany has a population nine times that eighty three million yet only the same number of start ups so is it time to learn from the israelis well here's how they do it. you can feel the ambition in the air tel of even the heart of the israeli startup scene one of the biggest dreams among young israelis is to become a founder. font of the culture and for the young people is to go and try to outperform to succeed to go and create their own thinks to be independent and i think this is the main difference between is with another khan the many other countries newtown advice dreams of changing the world with one of his ideas. or testing the water in the plastic cup
8:09 am
without even touching the water there are so many people with sufferers from. having water problems and there are so many people that going to hold it all because of it so we believe that we can eliminate and help so many peoples by doing . the start of boom in israel is attracting companies from all over the world hundreds of international firms have offices and research centers here in tel aviv a few months ago german car maker dime there also arrived in the city very well we have to be open and curious and learning from others as well and that's what we're doing at. one of the driving forces behind the start of culture is the army i mean the ongoing political tensions there's a constant need for new technologies young israelis are required to do military service and their experiences can sometimes spark ideas for a start up career the state also invests a lot of money measured against g.d.p.
8:10 am
israel put some of the highest sums towards research and development scientists not me us has a start up alongside his day job which is not uncommon here he's discovered a way of creating artificial meat and at much lower costs than previous methods. the meat is made from cultured fat and muscle cells we don't have enough water resources we don't have enough land resources to grow to meet demands for. rapidly developing chaney's and indian economies u.s. industrial meat processor tyson foods has already invested over two million dollars typically in israel a startup gets bought by foreign investors once it becomes successful that's why for a country brimming with innovative ideas there aren't many big israeli companies on the scene but it's these small startups that are driving the big ideas of tomorrow
8:11 am
. and will be heading back to israel a little later in the show with a closer look at the new u.s. embassy in jerusalem and our correspondent on it cramer will be reporting from the opening ceremony there that's in about seven hours from now. now for a look at some of the other stories making the news at this hour four suicide attackers are dead and ten people wounded after a bombing at police headquarters and in the second biggest cities or a buyout of this comes one day after a bomb blast at three churches in that city killed at least thirteen people police say the earlier attacks were carried out by a family who just returned from syria. french authorities say the attacker who stabbed to death one person and wounded four others on saturday in paris was on a counter terrorism watch list who was shot dead by police during that attack investigators say he was a french citizen born in the russian region of chechnya so-called islamic state has
8:12 am
claimed responsibility for the attack. well to iraq now and with most votes now counted in iraq's parliamentary elections the national shia cleric. could be set to make a surprise political comeback supporters cheered the news in baghdad where the cleric and his communist allies took the largest number of votes also has a strong base of support among younger poorer voters but has been sidelined in the past by other shia figures backed by iran the current prime minister hyder body is lagging behind in third place right now the election is the first since the government a clear victory over so-called islamic state last year. and with me now in the studios to have used a far a deal karim he's been covering the iraqi elections he just returned from baghdad good morning to you do far more now before we get into all the analysis you know
8:13 am
you were out there talking to a lot of people in iraq about this election what did they say to you if you talk to the people if it's in baghdad on their bill or and most so there's a big mistrust in the political system today and i think that explains the low turnout which happened for this elections our own forty four percent to know is now the number who people who participated so i think whoever wins who have if there is a winner of for this election's he has a lot to do because there's a big mithra mistrust and people think nothing's going to change same people same system there's a big big job for the winner ok you're all over mosul baghdad you were talking to a lot of people and it looks like right now when you look at the the returns coming in the shia cleric in an upset with total sagar is poised to take power in iraq a little background about this man he's a former commander of the mehdi army if this is a force that killed american and iraqi soldiers. what's his draw with voters
8:14 am
i think what he was able to do. he's giving himself and presenting himself as the voice of the people but gear ago he's the one who was in front of the protest protesting happening in baghdad today he had across sectarian list coalition he's having he had people from the communists he has secular people in his list all this is giving him like a different point of view which is coming from from the people and he is taking distance to iran because if you talk to the people they are fed up from the interference of foreign policy in iraq if the u.s. or iran or saudi arabia and he's one of the she if she had clerics was saying i'm taking distance from iran and that's something new for a lot of shit induct out because usually they are connected to to iran in direct way and beside that he's. trying to to approach the people who talk to the people
8:15 am
being near to the people and all this is giving him a kind of a new position compared to all on that he and to a large body could be a voice for national unity is he that kind of figure national unity that's the big big big problem facing iraq today because you have sectarianism is the main reason for for the bloodshed in iraq so he could be but you have to see it from this way he could be but doesn't mean his the best and he's the right he might be an alternative because even till now we have to be very careful to now on the ten provinces where counted you still have eight. which is the second after it was there wasn't contact and it might be that our body might change ok the e.u. mentioned hyderabadi let me jump in there for our viewers he is the current iraqi prime minister strongly backed by the united states is going into the selection it was thought he was going to be the man who is going to whether it's important to
8:16 am
point out we still have a lot of votes to begin exactly provinces right. now though a body the american backed candidate is in third place what's happening i mean there's big question because as you said everyone was thinking that bob body might be the winner because he's serving different stakeholders he's serving the u.s. from one side and also iran and how to. cross experience also in his in his in the list and people supporting him he's the one who the last four years was responsible of defeating i as also in iraq but on the other hand there's a big question concerning corruption and so a lot of people when you talk to them on the street they say they're all corrupt and for them for now a body is the face of the government so he's part of the corruption so you know this it's going to be interesting to see who's the be the winner at the end because when you look to our body he's serving some stakeholders move that assad is representing himself the voice of the people and the angry back from from iran
8:17 am
might still have also a chance and these are like the top three now and it's going to be really exciting to see who is the winner maybe the next hours will shoulder was be the winner of this election but i don't know who's really the winner of voice of the people for as far back from iraq covering the election there for us thanks very much you're welcome. all say in the region after president trump pulled out of the iran nuclear deal last week to rein in diplomacy is now shifting into overdrive as it seeks to salvage what's left of that pact to runs foreign minister javad zarif is in is on a diplomatic to or rather to visit the five other nations who signed on in the hope that you can perhaps persuade them to stay on board his first stop yesterday china serif will then head to russia today and then it's on to brussels. for iran's foreign minister mohammed zarif this week could become the most important of
8:18 am
this korea his mission to say four can still be saved of the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal until be counting on the support of the five other countries involved but. for me it's very important to enter into dialogue with the nations that still remain in the iran nuclear deal china is the first stop. iran's president hassan rouhani joined him in his efforts and to ron he vowed that his country would honor the deal. the if the five for meaning countries in the deal a company else and fulfill the commitments in guarantee iran that the deals beneficial aspects will be preserved in this agreement will remain in place. that hard short. the stakes are high for iran particularly for the nation's oil
8:19 am
industry which would be crippled by fresh u.s. sanctions with that in mind germany's confident of iran's commitment isn't to not say any germany has an interest in maintaining this nuclear deal but also ever on iranians the economic perspective. in washington focuses since turn to the upcoming summit with north korea or they rebuilding a new deal could still be on the cards we will continue to work president trump and president of crone have both said we want to get a deal that's right a bigger deal we will be hard at that in their weeks ahead i hope to be a central part of achieving that it would be a wonderful thing if we could get the europeans to do this but that wouldn't be such a wonderful thing for the reef who wants to stick with the original agreement next stop on the support campaign russia. well with the iranian foreign minister scheduled for those talks in russia today let's bring in do the abuse emily sure when she joins us from moscow emily what is around looking for in moscow today
8:20 am
well iran is looking for assurances from russia russia has certainly made it clear that they also want to salvage the deal they released a statement just after the u.s. pulled out saying that they want to cooperate with the other signal signatories of the deal and it's of course not new for iran and moscow to be working together they've been partners in syria where both of them have been fighting on the syrian government side so iran likely trusts russia as a partner going forward in these negotiations and of course it's an opportunity for moscow to show to position itself again as a go between in the middle east and to show that it's an important force in negotiating the future there in the middle east as well as in syria emily russia has already indicated it's open to joining europe and pushing to keep the around the old law of or the talks today a step in that direction. absolutely russia has said that it's open to
8:21 am
working together with the other signatories of the studio and putin has already in fact been talking to european leaders last week he had a phone call with german chancellor angela merkel and he'll be meeting mack as well next week in sochi and this is of course also a convenient opportunity for moscow to sit at the table with those european bart partners it's been kind of somewhat of an outcast in the european community particularly after the screen paul case when britain accused russia of poisoning a former spy and european diplomats were expelled from various countries and kind of dialogue was a was cut short and now this is a new opportunity for russia to sit at a table with its european partners so that will certainly be something that moscow is. and the opportunity that moscow certainly interested in ok certainly one that
8:22 am
there will be taken advantage of emily sure one thanks very much for that today from moscow or european companies are scrambling to understand what the renewal of u.s. sanctions on iran mean for business card that's right. as european governments are scratching their heads to block the impact of sanctions on the e.u. companies iran has given the european union sixty days to guarantee the continued implementation of the new kid deal after the u.s. decision to leave the issue will likely be a focus of discussions between iranian and european foreign ministers in brussels tomorrow legally european business is not bound by u.s. foreign policy but ignoring sanctions could affect their business interests in the u.s. . the e.u. is resistance to the new u.s. sanctions on iran could hit european companies where it hurts that's because most large european enterprises have some sort of business with the united states and are likely to be punished if they continue to cooperate with the run. but european
8:23 am
policy makers say they won't permit washington to dictate e.u. trade policy. that was just union peter i think there is a true realisation a realisation among all european states. that we cannot keep going in the direction that we are headed in today. she direction where we submit we submit to american decisions. we want to submit or do we prefer to become independent in sovereign he swung. the question is how to go about protecting european interests suggested instigating so-called blocking regulations that use most powerful but untested political tool currently at its disposal the measure would permit european companies trading with iran to ignore the u.s. sanctions decisions by u.s. courts would also not be upheld in europe. so far the e.u.
8:24 am
has not signaled what measures they could adopt. the foreign ministers of germany france and the u.k. as well as you foreign policy chief for the reading are scheduled to meet iranian representatives in brussels on tuesday they are expected to affirm their commitment to the original nuclear deal. imagine for a moment you lost one of the hands in a work accident maybe one of the thoughts going through a head would be will you ever be able to perform your old job top quality mechanical prosthetics are expensive too expensive for many people to ford but now italian research is working on a robotic prosthetic hand have unveiled a new model they say will cost around thirty percent less than competitors currently on the market but it's more than the price that makes this new hand revolutionary. the how mr bought it happened he says myoelectric technology has a simpler mechanical design than other my electric pathetics senses in the hand to

by courageous decisions which the bottom alcohols chose your mastery of we have received the crown of our own from god not from his presumptuous servant to the romans his whole fucking soccer team. but. we must forge peace. the germans every week. welcome back your deed of your news live from berlin our top story this hour donald trump's daughter obama and other top white house aides arrived for the opening of the american embassy in jerusalem today the controversy a move has ended decades of u.s. policy over the contestants most foreign envoys have boycotted this event.
8:31 am
well this opening comes as israel marks today seventy years of independence let's take a look now at some of the key events that led to the creation of the state of israel was this man or head out so who is considered the father of modern day zionism he increased recognition for the need of a jewish state and promoted jewish immigration to palestine in one thousand nine hundred seventeen the british foreign secretary arthur belfer made a declaration of support for the creation of a jewish home in the middle east the first world war solo defeat than of the ottoman empire and its partition between the european powers in one nine hundred twenty two the league of nations granted the british a mandate over palestine and what was known as trans-jordan well from one nine hundred thirty three onwards when the nazis came to power in germany more and more jews during that era from europe migrated to palestine and in the aftermath of the
8:32 am
holocaust and the survivors followed them. on november twenty ninth one thousand nine hundred seventy united nations and proposed the partition of palestine into separate jewish and palestinian states in one thousand nine hundred eight it was david ben-gurion who declared israel's independence to the joy of course of many jews around the world to palestinians however the following day is known as the not the day of the catastrophe which symbolizes the displacement of hundreds of thousands of else that eons. well us president down from chose this exact date to move the us embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem signaling his approval of the city as israel's capital now the status internationally of jerusalem remains one of the most contested issues in the conflict between israel and the palestinians head of today's embassy opening our reporter tony kramer asterism residence how they feel
8:33 am
about their new american neighbors. the street signs for the new u.s. embassy have already gone up to this usually quiet residential neighborhood and south jerusalem has become the focus of the world's attention. the building behind me which currently houses the consular services off the u.s. will become the new american embassy moving the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem it's highly controversial the international consensus remains that the status of the city should be agreed upon through negotiations for now only the u.s. ambassador and a limited number of stuff offices will move to to slim from tel aviv the complete bilocation will take many years a majority of israelis supports the u.s. move like here in downtown west jerusalem is after all the capital of israel i believe it and of course there will be i believe there should be some the
8:34 am
palestinian state and if they want part of jews i'm some the find an agreement but i think it's ok the u.s. does move the embassy over here because this is after all capital in israel ask every kid what's their capital it's just was a limb and a seventh child think the american embassy should be in jerusalem the shoreline kenya for seven think all the embassies including the u.s. embassy of course should be untrue slim because jerusalem is the capital of israel so i'd be i said if i end up service say that the defacto recognition by the u.s. would have long term consequences jerusalem today is more divided more binational less sustainable and more contested than ever before and nothing has changed about this move is a hollow gesture on the other hand it indicates a collapse of united states stewardship over political processes and tells the palestinians in the arab world abandon hope you're about to lose jerusalem on the
8:35 am
other side of town in east jerusalem palestine. following the move closely they want this part of the city to be their capital in the future independent state many say that u.s. president is giving away something that is not his to give to move the u.s. embassy whatever they do palestine live in maine defend this land be a present and it's our greatest right to live in the next behavior of the embassy to jerusalem that only want things that shows that americans are on this side of the so it is it cannot. be right for many palestinians to us as long lost its role as an on this broken any peace initiative and by the palestinian stream of statehood fades israel is hoping that more countries the us lead and move to embassies to to loosen them. with me now in the studio to break this all down is
8:36 am
a german israeli historian tomorrow doll good morning thanks for being with us to our grew up in israel's been living in berlin for many years has a german passport right now you surrendered during the lebanon war your israeli passport. when you look at the u.s. embassy moving from tel aviv to jerusalem what do you make of that it is that a symbolic gesture before we get there i want to let our viewers know you wrote this book sinus israel on the question of palestine so you're an authority on this what do you think of this move it is not just a symbolic gesture it's much more than that it's a sign of power a sign of. netanyahu of not talk willing to negotiate sign off telling the post unions we decide here what to do we decide how we deal with our own project zionist project and it's a it's a sign of stronger who decides what to do and it's not
8:37 am
a sign of being of wanting to negotiate and of wanting off being reasonable i would say it's a time of the stronger and is he really donald trump a friend of science. indeed what he did what he has done peace until now it's showing that he is standing beside israel besides a zionist israel and it's the sink that i think we it's obvious it's obvious and i think if you would could could try to find a way to the palestinians tump would would come and corporate but i don't think he would put pressure on israel to to to negotiate in a palace you know it said tom makes. the side of netanyahu and his government his right wing government ok so you see the president trying following. that with actually netanyahu who has the lead here exactly and that's what i would. tell you
8:38 am
now is the one who managed to put to make. us realize recognize that on do new jerusalem on the question of jerusalem and what is so important for all governments all governments of israel who were zionist when when you look at seventy years of israeli. independence the creation of an independent state rather. what does this anniversary mean is israel there to stay into the future yeah israel had just. celebrated last man in israel independent thing i would say most israelis are very proud very proud of their country there is a lot to be proud but i think they still. the same time they are have to fear of the future the future is is not that secure is their wished it could be synced to
8:39 am
townsend's instant second intifada there has been so many wars so many wars so many . skill ations as we were going to see is today and more so. and they get confirmed that i have a conflict is here to stay briefly if you could do you think dialogue with the palestinians could take some of that fear away and course provide a provide a true future for the state of israel of course and i think netanyahu is not the right person to do it and the government of my dad and if and the right wing government is right it's not a right one to do it he starts should find and not a constellation political constellation to find a way to the palestinians tomorrow modahl grew up in israel living here in berlin for many years thanks so much for coming in this morning and you have for your insights. hugh. oh in other news today the attempted poisoning of the ex russian spy sergei scrip all this year has thrown
8:40 am
a spotlight on britain's russian community but it's not just political exiles who have found refuge in britain more and more of russia's super rich including some of president putin's closest allies have parked themselves and their cash in london such margins are a boost of course of the economy but some of been raising questions as to the word of their wealth. in london is the perfect place to shell out wads of cash fast and at the finest addresses in the british capital russian exiles are among the best customers that's around the city the nickname london. it's become a playground for wealthy all the garbage so it's hardly surprising that this russian wine shop in the chic mayfair district in london's west end calls itself hedonism wines. roman gregorio has designed a map that helps rich russians find their way around he also advises newcomers on
8:41 am
making investments why is london such a draw for russian investors. there are many many different reasons education is education of course because london and you again general has the best private schools in the world there are different waves of russian investors and the initial wave was about safeguarding your investment and that was the whole idea behind london and u.k. that if you invest no one can go and take away from you russians have invested billions in london in recent decades but where did they get the cash anti money laundering organizations like clamp k. have been following the money trail for years and found that much of it was simply stolen so they launched a clip talk received tour to show properties used to launder money. the tour includes apartments thought to be owned by russians first deputy prime minister igor shuv a lot. to. me and i am not one great baby i've got a wife who which finds her work around eleven point two million. now than makes me
8:42 am
documents to the group either a over real estate which according to official records obtained by the bowery indicate owned by why. it is unclear how she was able to afford the apartment twenty two or three not that decorates a look. at one hundred twelve thousand pounds. hidden ownership and corruption here in one of london's top locations home after home is held by dubious proprietors. what links wants common to warn russian oligarchs in london is their riches are coming from transactions with the russian government they either sold something very dearly to the state of russia. or they bought something for pennies in some sort of privatization. this is dirty money is sent to london both by blood in their putin's allies who invested abroad as they
8:43 am
have little faith in the ruble and by the russian president's opponents oligarchy who became rich after the collapse of the soviet union but then fell into disfavor both sides have always been welcome to invest here if you care where the money came from. and that angers valerie morris he fled russia after uncovering state corruption but now the old conflicts from his homeland have followed him to britain. they never worked and they saw them because of billions and nobody asked where. the lives of them live here because they're there . but then maybe against putin and look what at the same time they're from criminal war and they bring this criminal world here with criminal morality criminal. criminal.
8:44 am
