this is d. w. news coming to you live from berlin north korea threatens to cancel its summit with donald trump showing young says it will not take part in the meeting if the u.s. insists it must get rid of its nuclear weapons is this a bump in the road or is it the end of the diplomatic fall with north korean leader kim jong il and. also on the program stalemate at the u.n. security council as the u.s. walks the call to investigate the deaths of dozens of palestinians have been

clashes on monday. europe scrambles to save the iran nuclear deal after the u.s. withdrew from it last week the pressure is all on as tehran says it could resume its nuclear program within weeks. plus the treatment of filipino maids in kuwait has caused a rift between the two countries it started with the torture and killing of this woman and want to damage the list of who's whose hopes for a better life were cruelly ended. and seeking solace spy revisiting the past will follow a group of us better ins who returned to vietnam to put their hearts and minds at rest. with. hello i'm terry martin thanks for joining us north korea has warned it may cancel a planned summit. with u.s.

president trump said it would not take part if washington insisted it give up its nuclear weapons john yang has also postponed high level talks with south korea unification minister beck take hewland said he regretted the north's move and that it went against the spirit of a historic meeting last month between the two countries leaders. let's go over to our correspondent jason strother standing by for us in the south korean capital seoul jason there were months of warming between north and south korea also cautious optimism of course how is this setback being taken in south korea all right why i think the announcements that north korea would call off these high level talks today and potentially call it the trump summit did

take soul by surprise. the government here is issued a statement of regret however that doesn't mean that south korea and the u.s. are going to call off these military exercises there still continue to take place. tell us jason the way it looks right now with with these two summits in jeopardy or north korea relations between first of all north and south korea frozen again. no i we're not anywhere near that yet i north korea needs to remind south korea and the u.s. that it's not going to be taken for granted that we've had the trump administration say recently that north korea would only receive assistance if it completely denuclearize is and i think north korea took some offense to that there's no reason to believe that this is the end of the road ok well what about the u.s. then others also the prospective summit with donald trump between north korea and

the u.s. is that likely to be revived now or not. the summit is still underway the u.s. state department says that it is still planning for the summit on june twelfth in singapore between kim jong un and donald trump. there of course with north korea sometimes things change day to day but as far as we know north korea not only planned to will continue to have make plans for the trump summit but next week it has said that it will dismantle its nuclear test site there's no indication from the regime yet that it's scrapping those plants so jason you've been watching north and south korean relations for a long time been following the north relationship also with the u.s. very closely what's your assessment of where we are right now is this just a bump in the road or or is this really a major impasse. well i'm not

a betting man terry and i've been wrong many times before when i've tried to predict what north korea might do or or what things might mean coming out of young i don't think this is a halt i think it is a heck of a bump in the road as you said. north and south korea have been through much more difficult situations i guess i think this is johnny on throwing a bit of a temper tantrum but still the regime has far more to gain right now by engaging with south korea and the u.s. than it would if it caught all tall jason thanks so much jason strother there in seoul south korea thank you. moving on to malaysia after three years in custody malaysian reformist leader anwar ibrahim has been released according to the palace the former deputy prime minister has been granted a royal pardon and more emerged from a kuala lumpur hospital to

a crowd of journalists he'd been imprisoned since twenty fifteen on sodomy charges his opposition alliance won in elections held earlier this month newly elected prime minister mohamad has pledged to eventually step down and hand power over to on war a former political. timeline for the transfer of power has not been asked. the united states has blocked a resolution at the u.n. for an investigation into the killing of some sixty palestinians in gaza on monday the u.s. and israel acted with restraint and blamed militant group hamas for inciting the violence but the un's middle east envoy said there was no justification for the killings how many in suspense tuesday burying and mourning the dead. the protests were smaller on tuesday but the tear gas canisters continued to fall

from the sky this man managed to get right up to the fence separating gaza from israel israel says moments like these justify its response. by days and two more palestinians have been shot dead here casualties and the injured whisked away to a nearby hospital. a hospital that's overwhelmed and under equipped patients with gunshot wounds fill up wards and spill into the hallways there's a long wait for treatment and a shortage of medical supplies. thousands of kilometers away at the u.n. a moment of silence for those killed then further international concern over israel's use of excessive force against unarmed protesters and demands to for hamas to avoid provocation but the u.n. resolution to investigate monday's violence was blocked by the united states. for.

who among us would accept this type of activity on your border. no one. no country in this chamber would act with more restraint than israel has. but these israeli demonstrators disagree some intel of these and in jerusalem say they're outraged and saddened by their country's actions. similar sentiments in the west bank as palestinians mark nakba or the catastrophe commemorating seventy years of displacement since the creation of israel and fears now that the future doesn't appear much brighter than the past. and our correspondent tanya kramer is in gaza she's standing by for us and joins us now tania we've seen horrific clashes at the gaza israeli border this week what's the

situation in gaza today well i'm standing here in the border area fairly quiet it's still early morning and people are still in mourning. and despite the fact that it's not but you know protests very much smaller than anticipated also. people have still come to terms of what happened on monday and also today people are now tearing through ramadan just starting tonight. tony we've heard some of that debate that's taken place in the u.n. regarding the violence at the israeli border we've got a sound bite here israel says it has a right to defend its borders here's what the israeli ambassador at the u.n. security council had to say last night who she was most cherished tactics this cycle of death like this first the thousand people to violence

then the plates of the many three billion of the possible including who remain and children in the line of fire to mock the my three billion casualties. then the blame even. and then become hill to complain to the u.n. . only down in there israel's ambassador to the un defending his country tanya the israeli ambassador is blaming the palestinian leadership in this case hamas for the bloodshed at the border he suggests it's a calculated tactic what are the palestinians saying about that when i talk to a lot of palestinians here about that as those who are coming here to the protests that just watch what's going on in the border area most of them have said you know we're coming here on our own and that many of them are actually also quite upset and disappointed by their own leadership. in gaza hamas is controlling of course what's going on here and also the leadership in ramallah. you know that they have

been abandoned that for over twelve years the situation is growing worse by the day now of course hamas is in control of what's happening in gaza and it could also be that once that might be able to calm down the situation we understand that egypt is trying to mediate you know to calm down. this situation at the moment at protests. but of course many postilions also listened what was said at the u.n. this it's a bit strange to claim cause damien's what happened there because it is very sharp shooters in the army that this kid mostly that's just tania thank you very much tanya kramer there in gaza at the border to israel. let's catch up now on some of the other stories making headlines around the world today at least sixteen people have died after a bridge collapsed in india and authorities here more may be trapped it happened in

a temple to a brother and i say you during busy have evening traffic rescuers were able to save several companies. in iraq a coalition led by a shiite cleric. appears to have won parliamentary elections with nearly all votes counted. earlier led militias against the us and was accused of perpetrating atrocities against sunni it's what he ran on and on sectarian platform promising improved government services. redounds american writer tom wolfe has died aged eighty eight he's regarded as one of the most influential authors of his era and his career spanned five decades wolf helped create the style known as new journalism which used fiction techniques to tell nonfiction stories he died in a new york hospital of an infection. we are not in a panic those are the words of one e.u.

official over the block's push to save the iran nuclear deal that's after president donald trump shock decision to abandon the u.s. brokered agreement the top diplomats of the e.u. germany the u.k. and france met their iranian counterpart in brussels yesterday in an effort to salvage the pact today heads of state continue the talks president trumps announcement has thrust several multinational companies into uncertainty the u.s. is threatening sanctions on any foreign firms doing business with iran other leaders fear iran might relaunch its nuclear weapons program if the deal collapses . well what can the europeans offer tehran in compensation for the lost investment here's what iran's foreign minister had to say. we started the process i believe we are on the right track now is a lot depends on what we can do within the next few weeks. presented to make a statement on behalf of all of us and i'd be the good start we not

be beginning the process and we need to receive those got in to us we will see how best we can move forward. or for more let's bring in correspondent max huffman who's standing by for us in brussels next with the u.s. in the iran nuclear deal is europe alone or will the other signatories russia and china help the e.u. pick up the slack picking up the slack here terry means that doing business with iran because that's what iran is interested of course continuing to sell their oil being part of the international banking system having international investment come to the country so that is something that is dangerous for any company no matter where it's from because it might be hit by u.s. sanctions now and that is the whole problem you have here because it might not be worth for any company to do that and on top of that if you look for example of china because you mentioned china they are on the brink of a trade war with the u.s.

administration at the moment trying to smooth things over so they might not be willing to pour more fuel into the flame by opposing by openly opposing the trump administration also in iran thanks stand by for a second we're going to listen to what you foreign policy chief frederica moca rini said about what the e.u. has been discussing with iran in brussels. so it is not a set of measures this is a set quite white and built set of issues we need to address we see the need to address and on which we have decided to start start actually already the work started today but on which we've decided to start working together in a closely coordinated manner including with other member states i want to stress. to arrive at practical solutions within. the next few weeks.

ok practical solutions but not many specifics there much what can the e.u. offer iran yeah you're right no specifics at all here just saying that they're going to cooperate closely that won't help but of course there are options that the european union has there's a precedent here and that's called cuba they used a blocking regulation back then to prohibit any european companies from respecting u.s. sanctions on the island back then so that would be the hardball measure they could also compensate and company that's hit by u.s. sanctions they could continue public investment there are a couple of options but like i said earlier it is a strategic decision by e.u. leaders hardball or not do they want to escalate the situation with the u.s. or not and that's a decision they will need to take for example in sofia this evening when they meet in bulgaria to discuss this max thanks so much we'll be following that of course those talks later on today did max hoffman air force in brussels.

well this issue has repercussions in the business world of course to a particularly for germany i guess that's right and after announcing his intention to withdraw from the iran nuclear agreement u.s. president is not trying to pressure u.s. allies into following suit he's threatened by sanctions on european companies that do business with iran and he's already naming names. has some gotten j.v. and checks the news several times a day dear amy an entrepreneur is currently in germany visiting his business partners he sells medical technology and is also involved in the computer industry . donald trump's decision to withdraw from the iran nuclear deal comes up at every business meeting how will the e.u. react will there be new sanctions against iran.

again j v and has made a lot of contacts through international trade fairs like this one in tehran last year and he has contracts with european companies but now many of his partners are uncertain about the future of the business is. currency right now we have to sit down and see what's going on basically through the improvement relationship between iran and european companies especially with germany and you see these very moment no history we can see who the real partner. and to be a spokes pound speaks to his staff in the middle east several times a day fire video link from darmstadt in southwestern germany he provides high speed satellite internet to customers in afghanistan pakistan and iran. airlines have

shown a lot of interest but getting the money together for these kinds of orders could become increasingly problematic that's what one of what would have worked fine a week ago might be impossible next week getting someone to fund these big projects for instance a european bank with branches in the u.s. won't be able to finance them if you don't in can. still trying to keep his customers in the middle east happy but if the sanctions go ahead business is like he is might have a difficult future. u.s. trade delegation traveled to china earlier this month to smooth out difficulties in trade relations with little effect it seemed now china's vice president premier of a new he is coming to the u.s. for return visit and it looks as if there's some movement the u.s. is seeking a trade deal with china white house economic adviser larry kudlow said on tuesday and the u.s. president has already offered an olive branch to china when telling his officials

to look at lifting sanctions against china's tech companies that he bought he wants something in return. he might feel like he has china in the palm of his hand u.s. president donald trump placed sanctions on chinese electronics giant z t that almost ruined them but now trump is promising to be more lenient and help them back into business provided china scrapped plans to impose sanctions on u.s. agricultural imports. it is well known that the present president wants to reduce the trade gap and i think the way to do that is for china to lower barriers across the board with us export now and do it that also creates growth that of growth keeping these barriers down is important for u.s. farmers they would be hit hardest by the chinese tariffs announced in retaliation to trump's plans tariffs on chinese steel and aluminum imports farmers are

important voters for donald trump and he'll need their support at the mid-term elections come autumn. so as this trade going we're talking out to mikhail a job she's the head of the china economic policy program at the nazi him university business school in china joining us from name bowl michela that latest move from president trump to help out that does that come from. and i think it's a two front strategy while ned we used to run up to a random behavior by but he still has one step forward one step back and up is a strategy that works because the outer parts is again not predicted so i'm predictability is becoming a strategy not just in politics about also in trade and it seems to work the other issue is that we hold in china means that financing its own china manufactory

twenty twenty five latin that state and the european a us manufacturing industry italian german us and salt we know that when their waste it stops exports of high tech products to china china accelerates the development and the danger is that said the paradox is that you know putting a slap on china's by allowing the disallowing exports to china will make extra efforts to move up and fast and so we want to avoid that and that's why john is relaxing indeed said stance i think if we look at the big picture that's the chinese economy really need the u.s. or kind of look for trade elsewhere. traditionally yes you know china still has a big trade surplus with the united states so it does mean to the us a but is taking steps to mean to us less and less of. one belt of one rolled in each city but it is also a way to lowering the dependency of the interdependency between china and did the

us good between china and the european union or china wants a diversified china has market identified to growth markets in southeast asia central asia and let's not forget africa it's all less and less the interdependence between the two countries and so if trouble wants to do something it's quite smart to do to do it quickly because a five ten years time and its weapons will not be as effective as they may be today beginners are actually that talking to us from china thank you very much. the world trade organization says the e.u. has continued to subsidize apples illegally in spite of a previous ruling for building the practice the decision by the international trade body could lead to retaliate tory measures from the united states it's the latest

development in the fourteen years between european plane maker abbotts and us a b. asian company boeing the e.u. for its part and hughes's the united states government of illegally subsidizing boeing. urban renewal is disrupting the lives of many living in nigeria's biggest city terry that's right around twenty million people live in nigeria's commercial capital lagos and it's still growing that means new buildings are always going up and old ones are being demolished sometimes with little regard for the residents that's what happened to a slum district called toto bomb a which was almost swept away overnight the residents still homeless have been protesting against their fate as krishna reports. they're protesting where they have lived for years on the water in lagos lagoon.

one and a half years ago their fishing settlement was demolished leaving thirty thousand people homeless overnight. among them christina up in town and her three children. down here too nobody going to go yes to what that nasty soft job anyway it still was still suffering for the dots per. se paula was about how i learned. to not be peaceful. christina's family lived in the settlement for decades. its location near the booming city of lekki makes it valuable real estate. more and more high earners are moving there. last year gangs of thugs came to the settlements and allegedly with the support of the

police set fire to the huts without any warning the residents fled into the water. court awarded compensation to those affected but their jubilation was short lived local authorities appealed the award and to this day the inhabitants have received neither a new land nor government support. ever since then been trying to. understand. the idea of. what we did. was to show. despite several requests an interview with the lagos local government was not possible because they feel that the government is not listening to them the evicted people off we're told obama and all the waterfront communities here in lagos decided to come to one of the most powerful churches in the country and they hope

that the church can help them to keep the pressure on the government. christina pinto on hopes the petition and the protest will compel the government to take action and there is one more way to put on the pressure next year is elections have . to do. what the problem is those two fellows may be down to see. we are past that. wobble past. that christina and the other displaced people want to keep fighting for a decent life for the poorest residents of a bombing mega city. you're watching news still to come tortured killed and hidden in a freezer a cruel fate of a filipino maid in kuwait triggered a major diplomatic dispute and it raises many questions about workers' rights. also decades after the vietnam war many scars remain u.s.

says middle east envoy says there's no justification for the deadly use of force. a filipino maid working in kuwait was killed by her employer as they stuffed her body into a freezer in their home for a year it was one of seven deaths as a consequence philippines president roderigo to the order to complete ban on filipinos traveling to work in kuwait thousands of workers then returned home now both countries have signed a deal on workers' rights. last hundreds of overseas filipino workers arriving in manila after their flight from kuwait amid the waiting and the form shelling tiredness and relief. by god's grace i'm back in the philippines i can i may freely without fear so everything is ok so they don't know how they were answering the call of their

government which had demanded to come home following reports of abuse the most shocking of which shamed a nation her name was on a demo felice in twenty fourteen she posted for two of her visit to this organization who were helping her start a new life abroad as a housemaid in kuwait two years later her body was found mutilated and stuffed in a freezer she had been tortured the couple she worked for confessed. it prompted an international backlash with philippines president rodriguez banning filipinos from emigrating to the gulf state and calling on thousands living there to come home. government the best unit there and reception. the beauty of a sense but the museum. of country and family. in

february on a demo fellas his body was reunited with her family the marta shine a light on the conditions of more than two hundred thousand filipino workers in kuwait. but relations went from bad to worse when diplomats took matters into their own hands videos a match purporting to short embassy staff rescuing domestic workers when a no. go google and then in the. kuwaiti authorities were furious expelling the philippines ambassador he defended the rescue stunts. we ask public servants of diplomats are here to promote. and protect the interests of over fifty people workers anywhere in the world. as these women head for the

families they left behind the well being of millions of other filipino workers in the middle east remains an open question. of more now let's cross over to the philippines capital manila our correspondent on a piece santos is standing by for as i understand the philippines and kuwait of now actually signed a deal to regulate working conditions for filipino workers in kuwait what are the main points of this agreement. the memorandum of understanding that was signed last friday covers a lot of provisions basing on things like basic things like allowing workers to have access to their mobile phone their passport having sanctions for abuse of them for years and recruitment agencies and it also outlined setting up a joint committee made up of kuwaiti and philippine senior officials who will make sure that these provisions outlined in that agreement are in force but i'd just like to point out that a lot of the provisions in that agreement already exist in the domestic worker law

that kuwait passed twenty fifteen and it doesn't deal satisfy or address the gaps of that law two things there that we have seen there is no specific sanctions for abusive employers and recruitment agencies and as always for cement and monitoring of these provisions will always be a problem and will always be key but what about the filipino workers themselves than the ones who are there are thinking about going back does this new agreement give them confidence at all that their rights for now be protected. well yes it is a step definitely in the right direction again there's you know there's a need to keep on reinforcing the protections that our workers deserve and again pushing forward so that to make sure that the going to dijon of these provisions are carried out so there's definitely

a little bit more hope for for the workers there and i think it's also it's also we pointed out that this is this could be a signal to other labor sending countries to continue lobbying for better protections for their own workers if the philippines can do what the other labor sending countries should be able to do it too well let's talk about those neighboring countries particularly in the gulf this agreement between the philippines and kuwait might help that particular relationship but is there anything being done to improve conditions in general in the region for foreign labor well in the philippines per se well there's a lot of. the problem always with the gulf has been the kafala system you know there's been lots of movement and pressure from labor rights groups to better to have better protections for all of the migrants that go into the gulf but as they have said you know the profile the system which governs

a lot of the employment or all of them i mean in most of the gulf countries has modern slavery that conditions in places so much control on the employer for example you cannot leave resign or transfer to a new employer without the consent of your fire and they're saying that you know until the kafala system is massive you are drastically changed or abolished abusive labor conditions will continue. ok talking about the philippines give us an idea of just how many filipinos are working outside the country and maybe sending remissions back home how important are they for the filipino unholy. we have about ten million filipinos working in different parts of the world you have them present in all but one hundred countries the largest deployment of filipino workers in the middle east and these workers these ten million bring in about twenty five to twenty eight billion u.s. dollars a year in remittances just like you know terry that's about eight to ten percent of

our g.d.p. the are huge they are huge huge health and economic profit to the economy and i thank you so much for filling us in there on a piece on tose a correspondent in the philippines capital manila and. now decades after the vietnam war many us soldiers are still haunted by their memories many yearn for reconciliation and want to contribute to building peace it's estimated that tens of thousands of u.s. veterans have returned to vietnam mostly for short visits to the places where they once served. thank you. it's an improbable pilgrimage. there is it. gives us veterans are on a healing journey through vietnam a journey into their own past. their chocked served here in the summer of one nine hundred sixty eight he was twenty three years old he's still haunted by his experience of the war that really old demons come

back or what. one doubts about what is it that the merger really becomes the moments of so their guilt. and there are or other instances one where they just have to go through quite a lot of emotional adjustment in the metals gleaming uniforms immaculate these veterans await their former enemies who now come in peace hoping to reach hearts and minds instead of weapons they're armed with smiles was a knockout fifty years ago the north vietnamese and the americans shot at one another. you know today at the veterans shake hands the vietnamese speak more united and the americans listen. the roles are clear cut it's time for a history lesson at a military cemetery. thousands of vietnamese soldiers are buried here killed by

american weapons in the hands of american soldiers. there's a feeling of guilt in the air but the word is unspoken. obvious for starters here all the people who died. this week it's pretty heavy ok. a little bit about what is it what are all spoilt for a members of around us in a family where i was still more down it just shows you the tragedy of this war. who the jerry was a sergeant twenty one years old at the time now at seventy one he says doctors weren't able to help him overcome his trauma. but maybe this journey can. memories continue to resurface along with images and old wounds. the veterans long

for reconciliation both with their own past and their former enemies. it was exactly fifty years ago that u.s. combat troops landed in vietnam some volunteered but many were drafted to serve for a year in the war most had just one goal to survive however they could it was a brutal struggle helicopters flew millions of flight hours to transport combat troops first of all was the way that we got it somewhere but then those also the way that we got out of there so for me it was an excuse route right you know. very very i always hung on my outside my suit. is because of the hill copter was shot down i would go and out with it i was going good on a my on. the battlefields resemble a film set today k. sun was the site of heavy fighting in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight the

bloodshed may have been fifty years ago but the past still casts a long shadow here. in america. mine clearance teams can barely cope with the hidden explosives an unexploded ordinance around the country they still claim casualties today. a lot going on where we found the show when we were playing i was ten years old at the time i didn't think it was dangerous would have exploded my cousins were killed instantly my legs on my right hand blown off and my eyes were badly injured. tells his story to today's youth as a warning about hidden explosives. the americans he meets say their encounters have been absent of accusations or hatred. you know what we've suffered through because you have suffered the same thing so we're brothers and they really mean it and i've

seen so many veterans literally weep and gratitude that this burden is lifted from their shoulders it's really it's really amazing and really gratifying. they traveled deeper into the countryside which amounted to a hellish jungle back then. for the kind of. u.s. forces dropped bombs an agent orange the powerful herbicide that destroyed the forests where north vietnamese fighters hid it also destroyed their crops fifty years later the water and the soil in these areas are still contaminated. meat. this is the third generation of agent orange survivors there doing their best to make the foreigners feel welcome. to be a medical center here

a subsidized by donations mostly from the united states. when the veterans make donations they receive something priceless in return you know has this is my body that keeps rescuing me. is i guess if adopted. at all. it's a paradox that this war of half a century ago brings these people together today especially in the face of such heavy loss on both sides it's a huge tragedy lost opportunity for recruiting avoided with that of averted so many. military engagements and so much pain suffering and death and destruction but we didn't learn the lessons. that are. there for many of these veterans the decision to make this journey was difficult but now. i have no regrets. this time coming to vietnam was the right thing to do.

to india which has a booming aviation industry and thousands of low cost carriers offering flights across the country but for many indian air travel still remains of reach there are millions who simply cannot afford it for that for these other options and the options may never get those people rather may never get to take a real flight as our correspondent sonja father found out in delhi. the fact that i believe that it's a deed these children will remember all the lights for many it's the first time aboard an aircraft. but this plate won't be taking off the flight to nowhere is an airline with a difference the monopoly was not the only worth it officer passengers a taste of flying without ever leaving the ground. many schoolchildren here up were their families cannot afford a real ticket to the passengers are treated to

a full in-flight experience they receive boarding cards safety briefings. even refreshments are served in board it's an eye opening experience. i've seen planes in the sky i used to think they were really small but now i know they actually huge . i now want to fly to london i've heard that a beautiful things to see a city. some lucky passengers even get to visit the cockpit for what the man behind the project is behind the trunk gupta a retired aircraft engineer he sold his land and bought the decommissioned airbus a three hundred back in two thousand and three for six hundred thousand rupees that's about seven thousand euros a real bargain he charges people according to what they can afford as little as a few euro cents or even nothing at all for the very poor. i belong to a very small is good and i never expected i'll be coming then you know and then

i've been there. and then the people from my village there to save your pathetic after they were not able to see that so that was actually a basic idea and basically like a motivation that i would go. to the poor people. air travel still remains a luxury for many people in india for those who may never get to take a flight this comes close to the real thing without leaving the ground and it's not the only place for it in delhi. not far away a busy main road that runs battlement to the runway davey's international airport. it's the perfect spot in the evening to watch planes land. trees double up the streets. it's all about getting the right time to twine. for the poor migrant workers here shelling out for cars and groupies of fifty euros but a cheap flight ticket is beyond their means. it's my dream to someday take

a plane and fly to my village in bihar but that's only if i manage to scrape enough money together for a ticket. further on at away because regulars here swear this is the closest you can get as the turbojets take off i. asked god to dick there in my village the planes fly really high up in the sky but from here you can see them up close it's an amazing feeling. i met him. we may not have the money for a plane ticket but but that doesn't stop us from dreaming about what it must be nice to be up in the sky. back and fly to nowhere passengers say we need an evacuation to finish the experience. has an emergency situation seemed like so much fun.

talking about fun it's football now i'm joined now from our sports desk to dissect germany's provisional world cup squad and we need to emphasize that it was announced on tuesday afternoon of course maxwell there any surprises in the school yet a few surprises at twenty seven players were called up to germany's training camp ahead of the tournament with four players set to be cut before the deadline on the fourth of june the announcement also wasn't without drama with two play is making headlines for the actions off the pitch man i know your face welcome visitors to the german football museum on tuesday she was named in germany's provisional squad for the upcoming world cup despite injury concerns but the goalkeeper shouldn't because to get to russia just steps in by decided both sides have to be completely honest we can definitely say that no one can participate in this tournament without full match fitness. with plenty of players at his disposal nuf gave some insight into his decision making process. was the

only dot com player selected. who scored the winning goal in the two thousand and fourteen final was left out. at the bronze in the mario is a quality player he has proven that to us but this season he wasn't at his best that's why i'm very sorry for him. and your own personal life the biggest surprise of the day was fly book striker kneels pietersen who has never played for the senior national team needs her. nails played with a team that doesn't usually create a lot of chances in the future tortuous but he scored fifteen goals being in the know from tortuous another at the when he steps onto the pitch he makes his presence known companies are you most of my gut feeling tells me that he will step up to the challenge thank you for the summit the vix. is his inclusion wasn't a surprise yet he made headlines after meeting with turkish president recha aired

on the encounter which teammate also attended will probably not affect the players' future in the team though with live keen to ease any tension. between first and this i have some understanding for the nice because i know that people with an immigrant background often have two hearts beating inside their chests and that is not always easy this is the gun so i'm focused on who to playing and three faces will be wiped off this wall when the final squad is announced on june fourth . one of them will be a keeper or perhaps even knight. manuel neuer maybe a keeper in the final squad what do you think might actually think he should make the cut well it's a long shot really hasn't played since september when he suffered a massive tussle break its third wong and syria small terror that's in his foot in

the middle of his votes and he himself said if i'm not match fit i shouldn't go now he hasn't played like i said since september he's only got one more game to play for by munich that's the cup final they surely won't risk him for that so i think if they take him at all they can his third choice just as experience but maybe he wouldn't be too happy with that only he and you know but he got a spot in the two thousand and ten world cup squad because of an injury so this is the part where under a testing of mark under test they can comes in he's the keeper for boss alona so germany an embarrassment of riches in the goalkeeping department one of the best goalkeepers in the world is his replacement so if he doesn't go germany are in safe hands i think he could go as third choice it would be be good for the team to have a leader like that in the dressing room even if he doesn't play a lot of people are also wondering about the oh good you know where is he he scored the winning goal in the two thousand and fourteen world cup why has he missed l. well surprisingly has picked players on form and that's not really what you always

have been doing is germany coach he's famous for picking lukas podolski for years when he wasn't on form but gazza has had a terrible season by any standard two goals in the league that's all it has been for him and he's really been a shadow of himself in the last few years he's only twenty five but in february of twenty seventeen he was diagnosed with a mystery illness which was said to be the explanation for his poor form up to then but since then we've been led to believe that it's been treated or at least being able to be contained but he's missed the cut and i think rightly so he's just not been good. enough on the flip side we have meals paid to send coming in who as we heard there we live say scored fifteen goals in the underperforming side in fribourg is a real positive presence as never played for the german senior team although he did take part in the olympics in rio and he's twenty nine years old started his career as a promising young star went to by and very early on that didn't work out for him but

since then he's become the records substitute in terms of goal scoring as a substitute in the bundesliga i think he would be in the final squad to be a really good addition ahead of mario gomez somebody to watch then so here's the big question max of course can this squad or what we end up with as a final squad you think they can defend their world cup title well i'm going to surprise you terry and say yes. i think you know that definitely the favorites the bookmakers say so all the experts would agree with that it's not just me being biased but france are big contends that they announce their squads tomorrow there's a question marks about the team chemistry that spain and brazil have very strong squads not a lot of injuries and argentina a little bit defensively weak but they have liam messi germany though have a lot of players who we see here who would do that in two thousand and fourteen so they can take that experience and that belief and carry it forward and also we know germany are great when it comes to penalties which is who is a key in the world cup so i backed them yes ok confederations cup last year germany

won the confederate sions cop with a second string side how many of them how many players that were part of that made the cut this time they're quite a few players he was trying out them up in plot and hot the left back from how to bill is among them who made the cut limb gorecki team of an as well knows under wagner and no squadron was stuffy big blows for them so it was well worth it checking out these players at the conference cup back thank you so much max merrill from the obvious sports. and forward just a reminder the top stories we're following for you here today on the news north korea has threatened to cancel an historic summit with u.s. president donald trump says it will not take part in the meeting if the u.s. insists it must get rid of its nuclear weapons and they have also canceled a high level meeting with south korea. and the united states has blocked a u.n. resolution to investigate the killing of dozens of palestinians in gaza on monday
