12:05 pm
a difference and it's you like it's. not just yours who are under sixty where and i've been briefed by these members who sometimes wear costumes with resisters agendas and i think one of the most of your. articles and they got this and have been paid it's old people who go out to classes in the month of return but they did and to go through this peacefully i want to see from that's right. on our commitment for exhaustive list and actually piece lines of this event is worthy of a lot there on a monday and so the cost is not the girl sixty people who were killed while they are alive that were hurt that can be laid also three pounds ninety nine for injured i pray. to do that and with the service for his wife and i said that it's not the truth. but it's an impetus of what people i'm going to continue to think the months return to morrow for i think i was there actually i
12:06 pm
was and whatever you get if you don't know there's still so many people who have been tales and years was evil. and these people of iraq i think we actually use these books. and it was one thousand five hundred meters away from it and it's too . it's so many it is gross. and i have so many and they did it and it was printed it was a it was they were part of our energy market research and so i sent it up to but i think we have to leave this interview here because we're having trouble with the quality of the line and let the feelings join us in gaza thank you very much for sharing that information with us. turning now to the democratic republic of congo where the first urban case of the deadly ebola virus has been detected in the country the outbreak has entered
12:07 pm
a new phase according to the country's health minister after spreading from the countryside it's now been found in the northwest city of been dhaka believe this outbreak has already claimed twenty three lives the fear now is that it could spread rapidly in densely populated areas. the first batch of the a bowl of vaccine arrives in kinshasa the capital of the democratic republic of congo allstar it is a rushing to stop the latest outbreak from spiraling out of control the vaccine itself is still unlicensed but the world health organization says it's proved effective in human trials and it's the only thing available that might help stop this deadly virus. our first priority with the vaccinations are the health workers and also those who have been in contact with the confirmed cases not just alerts or suspected cases. this is the ninth time
12:08 pm
a bowler has been recorded in the d.l.c. and many hundreds of congolese have died it was hoped that this latest outbreak could be contained to more rural areas but with the case now confirmed in the city of banda aka this concern it will become more difficult to control the hope is that with the arrival of the trial vaccine some protection will be provided for those most at risk. and it. is monitoring the story from illegals in nigeria and joins me from there high under how wiring is the current situation with the first reported case of ebola in the city in the d.r. c. there were some deets specially if you consider them bond is a couple of hundred kilometers away from the small town where the outbreak actually started so the wires has traveled quite far ready and monday aka has more than a million people it is an urban center and if you remember the huge abel outbreak
12:09 pm
in two thousand and fourteen and fifteen in west africa managed to kill more than eleven thousand people mainly because the virus went into urban areas into the capitals of sierra leone off liberia and of guinea is so this is indeed very worrisome but on the other hand there's also no need for panic because we also saw rather positive examples in the past i still remember the day when i was in lagos and there was a report of a man from liberia who came to lagos the mega city he had twenty million people and they discovered that he had there was a kind of panic here people were very worried that the y. was could spread very fast and in this make a city but the earth already has reacted very quickly they made sure that only very few people got contaminated and they got everything very quickly under control so people india see hope that this will be the same thing now there so what kind of a measure has the authorities putting in place to avert any sense of kind of the disease spreading further. well first of all the reaction
12:10 pm
is much quicker than what we have seen in the pasta obviously if there was a lesson learned from this massive great year and in western africa away the four thousand doses of an experimental vaccine shipped to a west sends to d.r. c they're expected to arrive in the end of the week a lot of experts are already on the ground and the key challenge right now will be the tracing of possible cases so basically what experts have to do now is follow up on those people who where in touch with potential cases and try to see where they are this is a very difficult job they already managed to trace down about four hundred people and now isolate them because if they don't isolate them they could develop symptoms even three weeks after they first got in touch with the virus and then of course the virus could spread much faster so this is the key challenge right now for the or see them as a pundit this is the ninth time that ebola has been recorded in the congo tell us
12:11 pm
more about the lessons which have been learned from previous episodes. i think we seem to have lost the line to our day increase she is in lagos nigeria he was talking to us about the outbreak of an abuse. episode in the city of the democratic republic of congo for the first time in this current spread of the disease that will bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the world u.s. president donald trump has officially revealed he reimbursed his lawyer michael cohen in connection with a non-disclosure agreement with the porn star could had initially paid one hundred thirty thousand dollars to adult actress stormy daniels allegedly to keep quiet about an affair she claims she had with the president trump initially denied he knew about the pain and. christmas c.e.o.
12:12 pm
mark zuckerberg has agreed to speak with leaders of the european parliament about his company's data sharing scandal but the meeting me happened behind closed doors instead of the public testimony zuckerberg faced in the u.s. last month british firm cambridge analytic or shared the data of nearly three million e.u. based facebook users without constant. huge clouds of ash spewing from hawaii is a killer we know have prompted a writ alert for aircraft traveling in the region is the first such warning since eruption started twelve days ago explosions have intensified with the volcano shooting out ballistic blocks and earthquakes some two thousand people have been evacuated. e.u. leaders have reiterated their pledge to keep the iran nuclear deal alive they also said they would only discuss trade barriers with the united states if washington does not impose caliphs on european steel in alan minium the leaders are meeting
12:13 pm
with their balkan counterparts in bulgaria at a summit that is offensive believe about fostering closer ties between the balkan region and the european union but the growing rift between the e.u. and the us appears to be overshadowing developments. shortly after she arrived at the summit german chancellor angela merkel said the e.u. still plans to support the iran agreement even though washington has abandoned the deal have a listen. really also discuss the topic of iran and the iran nuclear deal everyone in the european union says the opinion that the deal is not perfect but that we should remain in it and based on that we should conduct further negotiations with iran on other subjects such as the ballistic missile program. most people. so our correspondent barbara is at the summit in sofia enjoys me from there so barbara chancellor merkel is reiterating that the e.u. is a will actually stick with the iran didn't mess about what options europe has to keep
12:14 pm
this deal alive without the u.s. . there is a political side of course to this the europeans have to decide to pull together and to stand up to donald trump for the first time really in their history and this more or less signifies probably the end of illusions about cooperation was trump and nothing can be done we have to sort of for draw away that's the message the europeans are sending here what they can do in the practical side they are considering for instance a blocking law that would prohibit european companies to bend to american sanctions which and then on the other hand me that the e.u. would have to compensate those companies for any losses they would incur in that context it's a complicated situation but europeans are sort of considering a whole bundle of measures to counteract what might be coming from washington and they have decided to take
12:15 pm
a stand and create is another area of tension between the e.u. and the us barbara a chance to america has addressed one aspect of that issue create caliphs on aluminum and steen let's first take a listen to what she said. you know we made our position clear regarding trade to the united states of america we want permanent exemption from tariffs and only then would we be prepared to negotiate on how we could reduce trade barriers with the u.s. . by you competing hundred it with people. so a strong position there from the german chancellor baba yaga to size the e.u. and the u.s. on collision course in terms of diplomacy as best trade. pretty much zero and the europeans are have shown here at this summit that they are fed up with the treatment that they are experiencing from washington some here
12:16 pm
found some strong words there was talk about to capricious that. and washington unpredictability and even hostile action against european interests so that much is quite clear but what do you europeans to do here is a bit more nuanced they say we will not negotiate with a gun to our head so trump has to remove this threat of sanctions still hanging over them on the other hand they put offers on the table they say we will talk for instance about liquid to gas this a little bit goes to europe something that trumps once and they track about. other trade barriers that could be removed slowly but surely it talks in bits in the w g o so they make offers to washington and they say we know your interests and we are ready to sort of come across we're ready to talk to you but only if you stop threatening us so that's quite clear from the position and now everybody sits here and white's what trump will do next right bomber a visit at the e.u.
12:17 pm
summit in the bulgarian capital sylvia thank you very much. yeah joins me now on developments in the iran sanctions having economic repercussions already that's right to the chinese state petroleum company c.n. p.c. says it's ready to take over a huge gas project in iran from the french and the g. concern total the two billion dollar project is one of the biggest european investments in iran since sanctions were lifted three years ago since the us pulled out of the iran nuclear deal and threats sanctions on anyone who continues to do business with iran china seems ready to fill the gap told how wants to pull out of the deal if the us doesn't make any exceptions to it sanctions the news to turbulence in the oil market where brant crude futures futures just a few minutes ago hit eighty dollars a barrel for the first time since november twenty fourth. and in further developments denmark's shipping line the mass tankers will end iran shipping in the

markets let's cross over to danielle koch who is standing by at the frankfurt stock exchange what are investors saying to all these news from italy there. well i guess they are they were really surprised when this when those leaked information were emerging yesterday and those ideas and wishes from these two very populous an anti european parties can be considered as crazy maybe even in saying investors here are concerned what kind of consequences an italian government led by two populist parties will bring for the country it certainly won't be good for the image and it's a country that needs a lot self reforms and investors are feeling that we could see it now a period with out the big reforms and changes in italy happening and the two hundred fifty billion euro debt relief well investors here are sure that something like that won't be even considered by the e.c.b. and many here are even asking what was on their mind while writing this down yes italy has lots of debt but why should other european countries now pay for this we
12:20 pm
have to remember italy might be struggling but it's still the fourth biggest economy here in europe their latest g.d.p. report was with a plus of zero point three percent exactly on the same level with germany and also france but let me tell you that investors are more worried if this is just going to believe giving off political chaos in italy or the beginning of another financial crisis for the country. frankfurt thank you. i'm staying in italy where young people i christen the desperate one of the reasons of the possible opulence was so successful in the last elections youth unemployment in italy stands at more than thirty percent that's one of the highest proportions in the european union and so many young people will go to extraordinary lengths to apply for the few vacancies that are available. salerno south of the italian port city of naples it's four pm and twenty seven hopeful passengers are
