color of a warm welcome to you i'm a myth that shima german chancellor angela merkel and russian president vladimir putin have rekindled hopes of peace in eastern ukraine at talks in the russian city of sochi putin said the diplomats on both sides would again look at options for deploying a multinational peacekeeping force in the region because he also said the pair had discussed how the iran nuclear deal could be saved following the u.s. withdrawal while machall said that the removal of property rights from syrian refugees by president bashar was a concern. for more on for more on that musing in a sortie i'm joined now by gustav brezhnev from the european a council on foreign relations is with me here in the studio welcome wistar and also joining me now is our correspondent in new shell when she is in talks just

took place let me start with you emily what was your key takeaway from the comments of the two leaders the taschen a whole range of issues. well you know what i think my main takeaway from this press conference that we just saw and from the meeting today was in the way the mood here in sochi and the mood of that meeting both of the leaders seemed quite relaxed it was pretty clear that they have known each other for many years they have been after all had a working relationship since two thousand and five even presented angle americal with flowers when they first met and both said that the talks had been constructive even though of course both mentioned that there are of course also substantial differences in opinions on both sides putin said that the talks have been open and that there had been extensive substantial exchange on a number of questions and merkel also said that that she really valued this regular

open exchange that the two sides have been having and she said you know you need to we need to lay our cards on the table when there are problems problems are solved by talking and she also said that she looks forward to continuing to talk to putin over a meal that they are now having so it did seem to be kind of an open mood even though both mention that there are difficulties they both seem to you know have thought these talks were constructive emerita. turning to you heard what emily said she talked about an open mind and we also heard that to be pushing give some mikkel a bouquet of flowers meant she arrived one of the reporters asked the question are we going to see a renaissance in russian german relations what did you make of america's response to that question actually on the question and she was quite firm and hold the line more than i sold given the tremendous amount of domestic pressure and the pressure from business lobby that is. to be conciliatory it's russia. mentioned sort of the

diversion issues from the start that human rights and press freedom situation in russia so don't go into ukraine. into where she is more frank than any is it if any time before the ukraine's role as a transit country needs to be served. and then going to sit if syria and iran do. that sort of as an opening statement marked that sort of russia will not germany and see if she's is sticking to her principles she of held during the last four years which is reassuring for european perspective. you could see in putin's face and. he was making while america was speaking that he was not very happy about you know we have to do minus seven of these talks took place against the backdrop off saving the iran nuclear deal before we talk about let's have

a listen to what. i have had to say about that. in part by germany britain france and other colleagues in the european union support the iran nuclear agreement. we would like to stay in it but we know that this is a specific situation that's evolved and the europeans are in talks with iran about this new situation the agreement isn't absolutely perfect but it's better than not having one. so we had a want to talk america had to think hey how likely is it that the two countries russia and germany along with the rest of the e.u. can fav the iran deal without the presence of the united states is actually very difficult because you are you need to bring back the united states for supporting indeed or supporting the deal if you have certain amendments built into the deal on top of the new deal and that's what's the diff europeans trying to bring about.

actually was a bit more explicit on what he expected at least as a minimum return of that was he put up sort of the situation in syria on the table and that. dream served as a legitimate talking partner to the west and of course the. money for the syrian regime for rebuilding the country that seems to be his bottom line on what he expects the west to do but let me turn to you not only in a tsotsi president bush he talked a lot to abide by lack of trade ties with germany and the top of it was high on the agenda for germany was the nord stream pipeline in ukraine's fear of being cut off from gas supplies what progress was made there do you think. well you put an obviously a mench emphasize the importance of trade in part because there are some political differences as we've just heard but ahead of this meeting the minister for economic

affairs the german ministry minister for economic affairs peter i had my i was in moscow as well and he was in ukraine before that he's obviously been trying to kind of act as a go between to figure out a deal on this north stream to pipeline which is a gas pipeline that's supposed to run a second rather a gas pipeline that's supposed to run through the baltic sea from russia to germany and it did seem that there had been some progress made there on the ministerial level there had been some progress and not seems to have been kind of confirmed today putin said that he would be prepared to keep ukraine as a transit country for gas ukraine was very worried that they probably wouldn't be a transit country for gas any more but he did leave a back door open he also said that he would only do that as long as it's economically viable so we'll have to see what happens there. lots of information to digest and really show when in sochi thank you very much for that live update from

a one of the prime spots for the procession tomorrow and they said and i have to say personally i agree with that that spirit gives them gives prince charles a human touch it's sort of nice that he is doing that and he's. leading her down the aisle she's also apparently going to work a little bit by ourself which you know. goes to show that she's this and dependent woman and people here like that and i like that independent women may get lost in windsor have fun at the wedding thank you very much i. did on the eve of the royal wedding. business daniel joins me in potential progress in trade talks between china and the u.s. you know well i'm richard depends on who you are actually the standoff between the u.s. and china has seemingly eased today that says america says it's come to an agreement to reduce china's huge trade surplus with the u.s. by two hundred billion dollars annually but the new surprise the world and china to the country's foreign ministry now saying it agreed to no such thing the rumors

weren't true intelligence ministry spokesman lou can dialogue with us to go shake this is ongoing but constructive they say what is for sure china agreed on friday to drop an antidumping probe into u.s. sorghum in. and in the hong is standing by in singapore forest so linda what's going on the u.s. is so you won't think china saying another. yeah well you know there's a cheap international news agencies citing as you mentioned that u.s. officials are actually saying that china is a ceding but the latest reports of parity china's state media is coming out to negate what actually has been. partly agreed on and these rumors are coming about as china's vice premier you have he's actually in washington now for talks and this is actually the second round that china and the u.s. are trying to talk about was looming the first one being april when the u.s. you know officials had actually gone to china without much success so we're still

waiting to see what's going on right now with between the two countries and on topics all right we hear a lot of trump's opinion but what does china make of the trade deficit and america's recent rhetoric at least trump's rhetoric well you know a china presidency has a exactly need that much rhetoric as our present and by the recent report actually cited a presidency the recent private small private than the earlier in the year with the british ambassador to china saying that a presidency actually thought about it and he actually thinks that you know of us but actually it was more both sides will lose out by the us with even. more and officially you know trying to issue me tell you to think that instances like threaten it to the agricultural in exports from the us from political heartland and

nationally there's also an upsurge in nationalistic sentiment people are saying that you know we must build our own domestic market but building them i think market is also a pledge from presidency where chief promised that he actually doesn't need to have a trade surplus so these are the plans that that states in making dental. perhaps some parallels between china and the us then the home thank you very much for the. now to a deal set to cause a stir in digital money u.s. online payment giant pay pal says it's buying swedish e-commerce start up eyes ethyl pay pal is stumping up over two billion dollars for eyes that will which makes credit card scanners and smart for smartphones and tablets the surprise agreement came as the young company was getting ready to make its stock market debut pay pal the world's leading online payment service belong to the bay until twenty fifteen and has been but valued at ninety four billion dollars but this is

pay pal's biggest acquisition to date is strengthening its platform for handling transactions with the small businesses in europe and latin america and daniel cope is in frankfurt he's watching this for us so daniel finn tech start ups are springing up like mushrooms in europe so why is eyes ethel in particular so interesting for pay pal. well i was reading what the c.e.o. of pay paul actually described he was describing that the merging of ideas that will and kate follows for them a strategic fit combining on the one hand to shared values and also the same culture with complimentary products while we all know all you just talked about it is mostly got favors with e-bay as a famous or a more secure way to do your or to pay for your online auctions now paypal can be used on thousands of websites also with a method to pay icicle has a different business model they sell credit and debit card readers that can be plugged into smart phones and tablets well why do investors care about this well

they are hoping for more synergies between the companies and the move really boost paypal in-store present at the time when competition in the online payment sector is increasing after the close of the exposition the co-founder he will remain in charge of i said will reporting then to the pay paul chief operating officer be ready ok so what's the game plan is this is a sign that europeans are already changing the ways that they pay for things well europe really needs to speed up in many parts europe is really way behind when it comes to cash less transactions in our daily lives also here in frankfurt some of the taking a taxi is impossible without cash some drivers simply won't even accept credit cards let me tell you that asian countries are way ahead of us i was recently in shanghai i was astonished even a little street kitchen you were able to pay with an ad also a beggar at the road i couldn't believe it first were accepting online donations simply showing me their barcode so there's

a lot of potential and i'm sure paypal will be seeing this as well pay pal could help europe catch up to asia will have to wait and see don't open frankfurt thank you very much. the diesel emissions scandal continues and this time it's luxury brand porsche that's lost in the small good yet again the german transport ministry has ordered the comic to recall around sixty thousand cars globally auditor's discovered illegal defeat devices in the diesel powered s.u.v. models kyin a macand these make emissions seem relatively low under test conditions yet they could be significantly higher when driving on the road courses says it will take full responsibility to fix the affected vehicles. and now is the marathon to form a new government in its relief finally over let's find out from and brita if the parties have crossed the finish line they're close to it they've come to an agreement that italy's antiestablishment five star movement says it has reached

a final deal on a coalition program with the far right league and the agreement brings together two parties keen on challenging the european union limits on government borrowing and spending and if the parties receive the backing of their supporters the coalition government could take office as early as next week ending eleven weeks of political paralysis the two parties reject post-crisis as territory policies and are promising a may just spending spree. they have yet to announce who they want to put forward as prime minister in a longer story less than go to a full of women who is covering the story for us in rome philip finally italy's antiestablishment five star movement and the far right have promised a joint government program what are the key elements of this. well the key elements are basically the key elements of their election campaigns the signature policies include

a far more generous pensions regime a flat tax with two rates fifteen percent and twenty percent which was proposed by the league and citizens incomes for people suffering from of poverty and unemployment which would come out at about seven hundred eighty euro's a month which was a key policy proposed by the five star men. there also were plans to wreck it tough on illegal immigration and to close down gypsy camps on the outskirts of major cities both these policies strongly supported by the league. and if you look as you mention and their program includes certain elements which could put italy on collision course with the e.u. so what can the european union expect from the new government. that

will be very interesting to see i think it's likely that the new government will have turned down its rhetoric towards europe that kind of thing is useful during the election campaign but when one comes to the reality of exercising power it's probably wise to be a little bit more polite and conciliatory but parties are pretty much anti establishment and have long been critical of brussels so i think there could be conflict with the european union they want to renegotiate the rules they say should be given to the european parliament and less to undertake to your grass and i think there are a whole host of areas where we come into conflict with brussels and it'll be very interesting to see how that works out and that was philip whelan who's covering that story for us from rome now for some spots there as antennas on the italian

hundreds have been kid no riegel say these incidents were a response to china's destruction of. the chinese government cause them terrorist attacks now independent observers say the indoctrination camps a part of the government's strategy to fight separatism and extremism they began to spring up in the region two years ago and then won't officially numbers on how many people have been detained but estimates range from tens of thousands to nearly one million now we have a story off all need a cause that citizen who claims he was in snared in china's new transformation through education dr. amir becomingly is retracing the journey that led to his eight month ordeal in march last year he was visiting his parents in china's shin jun province when policeman showed up at their house when they came to arrest me five policemen appeared with guns i asked them what crime did i commit. a man

lives in kazakhstan but was born in china ethnic weaker and parents he was told he was being held on suspicion of an danger in national security and subjected to inhumane treatment in a cell. of my legs to my bed like this really just like this i couldn't move a tool i couldn't stand up. four months after his arrest a man was handed a release paper but the worst was yet to come he was taken to a so-called reeducation center. they forced us to say the communist party is great. that she's here they made us promise we wouldn't go to the mosque on friday . that we wouldn't go to any islamic events or occasions a tall. human rights activists estimate that hundreds of thousands of ethnic we

have been held in detention centers and shin jang but they're being brainwashed this is the very definition of an arbitrary detention if these are not people who have committed any crime they have not been subjected to any sort of legal process they don't have access to lawyers or family member is. a man's story is one of the most detailed accounts of life inside the so-called reeducation camps many don't speak out for fear of reprisals omeir has joined relatives of other cars that detainees disappeared in china to cool on the international community to take action. china has long been cracking down on the ethnic muslim population in sion jang in two thousand and nine demonstrations by ethnic weaker in the region were violently crushed. the chinese government claims the situation has improved. so without human right notion jack enjoys source will stability and

economic development people of different ethnic groups are living happy and harmonious lives and they enjoy full religious freedom. amir because he is free and back in kazakhstan but his nightmare isn't over shortly after his release his parents were taken away by chinese police he hasn't heard from them since. i'm scared for their safety but i'm not afraid to die if i die it would be an honorable death for my country for my children for my future i can't even describe how i feel. at night i can't sleep. jeremy not from our washington studios is all male cannot he's chairman of the executive committee of the world we go to congress and welcome mr cannot to the job you now your organization represents the interests of leaders why why what do you say about me because case thank you.

oh mother because these cases represent china's aggressive approach. and more recently for cause x. it's also representative of the life in the region cation come to us. and also. this is what's going on in this you know reject haitian comes and aggressive assimilation that we haven't ever seen before. because the citizen is fight of being a citizen and in spite of interference on his behalf by the cause i thought at least he kept in these detention centers for more than eight months and he was tortured. humiliated. and to the

point that he thought of killing himself. so imagine if age chinese authorities. treated the kazakhstan citizens for the country's citizen and the way they treated omar because he indeed detention centers was what they are doing with the way you go in that converse the man or woman and then you the ones you organization mistake on what evidence is your organization have that these indoctrination camps exist. china still denies the existence of these it comes but there is a lot of public information showing the existence of these reeducation so-called reeducation comes to out east turkistan first of all all we girls in their sport are lost their contact with their loved ones back home and every family in the

diaspora as someone in these reject asian comes had locked in these regions haitian comes secondly. we have contact with the people who were detained and later released. and also journalists interviewed former detainees and. of course they did a great job uncovering the situation in these region cation comes and most importantly. the we have of course we have victim accounts. also with this account and most important the recent the a german academy and that was uncovered the government pub the. tenders and the government procurement bits you're not indicating the construct of such facilities in the city county township and

ok. since you seem to have plenty of evidence there but now we also heard that they have been some attacks carried out of my radicalized we go as chinese described them as terrorist attacks is radicalization a problem amongst. in china. there were unfortunately some wise an incident in two thousand and fourteen in two thousand and fifteen in the circus on. the. congress has always performed and supported. peaceful means of advocacy. and we will all these continue to do so but the problem now is not a problem of terrorism or fight against extremism the problem is now a war against a religion again this is a. group against

a culture of equal again the. people to change people you know change the people so. now. what's going on in east turkistan is. doesn't have anything to do with their fight against terrorism or the fight against extremism that is of a important point you've made america not chairman of the executive committee of the would we go congress thank you very much for shedding light on the plight of leaders in china. next we head to japan which has one of the fastest aging populations in the one in two thousand and fifteen twenty three percent of its population was above the age of sixty years but now a community social experiment is leading a positive and much needed result more children. the town of

nagi isn't especially pretty this playground looks somewhat desolate. make you enter a three year old daughter shiori like the spot for me can there's something more important than hip and modern design. your children should be able to move freely but for that you need a lot of understanding from others it helps when people are relaxed about it even if the children get loud. and the one thing you. nagi is in southwestern japan in the sticks if you're being ungenerous most people just drive through and notice nothing more than the only and quiet broken only by the sound of the occasional china. but not a special of it six thousand residents seven hundred are children the small town

has doubled its birth rate hardly any other place in japan currently has a higher one. the town is like a big family. and this plain low rise building is a kind of living room or kitchen where they can meet. me too and her daughter come here every morning. and all are welcome mothers grandparents and children. i think of the fit the way to go perhaps we're not quite as close as a family but we still have rather strong bonds with each other. and. in japan women often choose not to have children so they can pursue a career but not me. she and the other young mothers unagi are directly contributing to the town's success and she is expecting her second child her family

moved from the big city to the countryside around a year ago for the nature but also for what nagi is offering if the town doesn't attract families it will die which the mayor understands well so it has many incentives such as cheap land a one thousand euro bonus at the birth of the first child and fifteen hundred for the second free childcare and free medicine are also thrown in the entire program costs the town around nine hundred thousand euros a year you reach it is you. i'm really happy it's great that there are a lot of children here but much that gives us the town energy will be our future. i'm resting my hopes on that. the most stressful time of the day from is at eight am that's when her mother her roomie saka matter lends a hand she's moved in with her daughter to help out. it's chaos here just before i leave the house. how roomy is sixty five years old she raised

her three children on her own now she's looking after the next generation. and that might not seem unusual but she has also put off her retirement to look after many other small children in by working five hours a day in the kindergarten. is there. ever a noticeable does that give us that i love it i've already done several different jobs but i now think to myself every day this is the right profession for me. and with her new job she becomes a grandmother over and over again. she said the heart of the town's big family. for this work her roomie earns a few hundred extra euros. her biggest asset is her long life experience. it's

a big responsibility i really have to pay attention so that the little ones go home in one piece some stumble and then they have a scratch on their face others get a fee for. the service station in town petrol isn't on offer rather short jobs lasting just a few hours a concept especially suited to young mothers who have no full time job today me two is here sorting beans and selecting those of the best quality for that she earns a bit of money and she can bring her daughter she already along. i got i figured i could also play at home with my daughter and work on the side but it's more fun for her when she can play with other children just like now and i can chat with other mothers. i love. how roomy enjoys taking care of her many temporary grandchildren in nagi parents pay nothing for childcare from the second child on the kindergarten it's open until six pm

although her roomie sometimes yearns for peace and quiet she knows this work is important. because it's a. no one should have to wait for a kindergarten place therefore we adults also have to help out you can't create a child friendly town any other way as old people are becoming more active it awakens our emotions and it's good to stay in contact with young people. to serious like dating and it's. a town swimming against the current it doesn't always run smoothly but it's going in the right direction nowadays population will still shrink but more slowly than the rest of japan and that's quite an achievement. they love to learn from that story at multiple levels now the world health organization has raised the national. threat level of an ebola outbreak in the

democratic republic of congo two very high this off the health ministry there confirmed eleven new cases of the virus along with two at new suspected deaths and that brings the total number of reported cases to forty five the w e h o's headquarters is rushing to ship supplies of a vaccine to congo. hectic preparations in geneva how to get the vaccine to the democratic republic of congo the temperature has to stay at minus eighty degrees celsius or the doses might not work. two thousand units of the new experimental ebola vaccine are now ready to ship to. in the. sea it's being rural and fairly self limited but now we know that populations of more than a million are at risk major issue here is that the center of. banks of the river. it's around six hundred kilometers between bond and the capital

kinshasa the congo river connects the two cities and is a heavily used transport route for both people and goods. heere grips the capital everyone here recalls the twenty fourteen west african a bola outbreak that killed more than eleven thousand people. so. if this it bona outbreak ever reaches can chasa we're going to see is. also does very dirty in the city the government and individuals must make an effort to improve sanitation. that's all some guys. the government must make vaccines every little bit for us as well and must ben last gatherings because it is very contagious. international experts are trying to contain the illness the world health organization doctors without borders and the congolese government have set up what they call ring vaccinations it involves immunising the friends family

housemates and neighbors of any infected person. with me now is my colleague helena humphrey though she was working with the world health organization and the red cross during the previous outbreak of ebola and west africa in two thousand and fourteen welcome helena not the w.h.o. is saying that this new could be a game changer how worrying is that is very concerning when w.h.o. declares something a game changer they're saying that they're very concerned and essentially they're saying that now because we have a case in an urban center in banda a city of one million people trying to picture that i'm rita we're talking about hustle and bustle markets taxis people in close proximity really facilitating the transmission of what is a very deadly disease so that's why they have declared this a game changer now and also you know look at the area for example this is next to the river congo that's

a major highway for trade it leads up to can shasta eight million people live there as well as close to the border of congo brazzaville as well as so then there's that you know possibility of international spread so that's why w.h.o. is really trying to get in front of this outbreak right now and said this virus is very deadly brit's also highly infectious is the democratic republic of congo equipped to deal with this challenge one thing we have to say straightaway about is that it does know about outbreaks it successfully shut down nine in the past congolese authorities a very good at this what they now have to do is the epidemiology disease detectives have to go out they have to trace every single person who has had contact with the infected people and that's going to be something that's very challenging particularly around the time of ramadan for example when people are gathering that's what humpy thank you very much for sharing your expertise with us you have experience of previous outbreaks in two thousand and fourteen great to have you with me.

clip there from an italian film called dog man one of the movies in the running for the top prize at the confident festival on door this will be awarded this thing up this is festival now been moved from the desk is here to talk about it welcome robinson dog one is about the contenders but this movie is already won a prize it has indeed it's won the palme dog prize. since two thousand and one for the best performance of the festival by a pooch or man's best friend of course this is a bit of a lot it's not one of the real prizes of course but i should mention to you that the dog uggie from the oscar winning film the artist also won this prize so who

knows what's going to happen. anyway it's been a very interesting year and can in many ways let's have a look at three of the top contenders for the top prize starting with what many consider the hot favorite for the palm. spike lee's black klansman is based on the true story of a black police officer from colorado who infiltrated a branch of the ku klux klan in the one nine hundred seventy s. but the film also functions as a commentary on the current state of race relations in the united states the gods years i really hate those black rats he has a great chance of winning the palme d'or here spike lee hasn't been in the can in many many years and way way back he was here with do the right thing which in my opinion should have won the palme d'or it didn't win by those who was present the jury did not give spike lee the door it's likely still hates him for it he said if he ever sees the bettors or come out with a baseball bat but another front runner is happiest lazzaro directed by leto

one of only three women filmmakers in this year's competition. traffic. a feat. her film is a magic realist fable based on an actual incident involving illegal sharecropping in italy the title character lazzaro is a kind of holy fool who winds up being exploited by the farm workers who are themselves exploited by a landowner the story functions as an origin metaphor of modern italy in the throes of corruption in decline. another film about people living under precarious circumstances is shoplifters by japanese director hirokazu this compassionate story is about a makeshift family trying to keep afloat by resorting to petty theft in order to supplement their meager incomes.

some observers have criticized this year's cannes film festival for lacking enough glamour and star power but the critical consensus seems to be that the crop of films and come. petition strong. and of an oldies f.m. seem to have an element of socially critical content to them and indeed even on the old sound and moments of protest we did indeed not surprising really harvey weinstein who some say was the king of canned was obviously not there this year instead he can being one of the venues for at least one of his sexual assaults he's been accused of anyway with the me too in times of movements very prevalent at the moment yeah the have been protests there was a protest by sixteen french french black actresses on wednesday about the lack of diversity in their industry in france and also last week jury president cate

blanchett she led a group of eighty two women on the red carpet is eighty two significant because that's the amount of female directors who've been invited to can. ever since it started and that's in seventy one years so do the math that's about one female director a year anyway so there have been quite a few protests and fun create creating some controversy with his latest fellow and has said yes this is the house that jack built starring in which is said to be a black comedy about a serial killer you have to bear in mind we lost from trade that's a black black black comedy as we know people do time of the press screening and for some the film is a sense provocation and disgustingly violent but for others they claim it is quite great cinema he does divide opinion i mean the subject matter in all his films are controversial and this one seems. reporter and candid see it he nearly will
