this is live from berlin tonight facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg faces off with the european parliament and. the european lawmakers for the recent data scandal at the social media giant he says that the company was too slow to react after user data was manipulated and he was given a warning that europe considers facebook to be a monopoly also coming up dialing down expectations u.s. president donald trump says the talks planned with north korea for june could be

delayed it came in strong met his south korean counterpart moon in washington today . also coming off britain falls silent on the anniversary of a deadly attack. a year ago today a suicide bomber killed twenty two people and injured scores more at a concert in the city of manchester. it's good to have you with thoughts tonight european union lawmakers are demanding better data protection and better privacy from facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg faced questioning at the european parliament in brussels today in the wake of a massive data scandal that has hit the company but a complex process meant that. a grilling on some details even if he made sure to

apologize for facebook's worst sale. lots of fake zuckerberg demonstrating in front of the european institutions but inside the parliament not so much the hearing of the facebook c.e.o. was supposed to take place behind closed doors so that gave some the impression that the privacy of mr zuckerberg was more important than the privacy of facebook users but some e.u. parliamentarians fought back and managed to have the hearing that took place right here in this room live streamed so everyone could see how mark zuckerberg apologized for digital facebook tools causing real world problems once again we haven't done enough to prevent these tools from being used for harm as well and that goes for fake news foreign interference in elections and developers misusing

people's information. we didn't take a broad enough view of our responsibility now is a mistake and i'm sorry for it to the start of an interesting debate not really the european parliamentarians used up most of the time to ask dozens of questions with zuckerberg sitting there quietly for nearly an hour in the end this questionable procedure worked to his advantage because he got to pick and choose those questions he answered now what we're doing is taking a much more proactive approach rather than waiting for people in the community to flag for us that there may be issues we are going through in investigating ourselves up front all the different apps that had access to a large amount of information but with time many parliamentarians felt like they didn't get the information they wanted i am quite disappointed by his appearance here in the european parliament and i think that his company did the european

parliament serious and told him to come but he didn't really take it took the question serious which we had to pose and i think that he lost a lot of credibility tonight and the ability to also reste or trust with european consumers in the end the hearing left a bitter aftertaste for the way that european parliament handled it and for the answers it got from zuckerberg arliss point our correspondent montanus he was covering the story for us today's in brussels tonight good evening to you georg i have to pick up on what we just heard that european lawmakers there that zuckerberg lost credibility today how can he say that i mean zuckerberg basically had zero time to answer all of the long winded questions and statements that lawmakers presented him with today i mean what happened. i think the key problem we had is that for months this hearing was constructed under just been ill choose and

so he yes there were some good questions on the part of the lawmakers yes they took way too much time so that was one problem but they had they had some good questions but then second part was given the opportunity not only to give an opening statement where he could make that apology but also to use the rest of that hearing as a platform to repeat basically the opening statement and to maneuver around the tricky questions which he did quite effectively i mean it certainly wasn't much of a grilling so what did answer and there were a number of interesting details for instance on the issue of fake accounts which which is a big problem he said that thirty thousand or even a buff thirty thousand of those fake accounts just in the run up of the french elections were taken down that they are focusing on that issue he also talked about

artificial intelligence would stay use to track down terrorists intent on on facebook but on the bigger questions that the underlying questions if you want how censorship works a targeted advertisement all of the those remained unanswered and subsequently lawmakers were rather unhappy at the end but they're also partly to be blamed for that kind of format a missed opportunity i missed opportunity i think is the best way we've heard all day to sum up what happened we know that mark zuckerberg is going around the world he's been trying to limit the damage from this huge data scandal connected with cambridge analytic a did this appearance today did it help him or did it hinder him . that's an interesting question depends there are two ways of looking at it one is it helped him because he used it as a platform he knew he could shift around those questions because he knew the

questions and answers were separated on the other hand there was one key question from one of the lawmakers and he said convince me why we should not break you down what can with me why you're not a monopolist and he missed that chance had he answered all these questions pressing questions about facebook he could have named a competitor that was one of the questions he did not answer in front of congress he did not answer it in front of the european parliament so if you look at it from this perspective the european parliament has not the power to really do something against you to really break down facebook but the e.u. zante trust body in the commission has that power and pressure is growing now in that direction that movement should be made in that direction to regulate facebook more or to even break it down. all right our georg matzos on the story for us tonight in brussels thank you very much through all that summit between the

leaders of north korea and the united states is looking more and more dealt for tonight that is the message from u.s. president donald trump it came today as trump welcomed his south korean counterpart to the white house the two discussed trade between their two countries and upcoming talks with north korea trump said that he still believes north korea's leader kim jong un is serious about denuclearization but the plan to summit could still fall apart over disagreement on the details of the give she a chance according to truong. and we'll see what happens there are certain conditions that we want and i think we'll get those conditions and if we don't we don't have the meeting and frankly it has a chance to be a great great meeting for north korea and a great meeting for the world. if it doesn't happen maybe it will happen later maybe it will happen it at different times but we will see. our washington bureau chief alexander phenomena has more from the white house. this meeting today between

the south korean president and u.s. president donald trump was actually mance to find human and join strategy for dealing with the north korean leader during this planned summit and now it seems to have become more of a crisis session it's really remarkable that president very first time has admitted that this summit may not take place on june twelfth that it's may be late and we have to understand that we have to remind ourselves what happened last week the white house was caught off guard when the north koreans fired off a string of inflammatory statements against the you ask them the latest u.s. military drills in the region saying that they are not going to take to participate in a meeting with south koreans and then spit in the ink to cancel the planned summit

with donald trump and since them since then we have to say that advisers have become increasingly skeptical that kim jong un is really coming to pledges to seriously discussed a new clothes ation so actually what's happened today it's not coming as a huge surprise. and there was our washington bureau chief alexander phenomena there reporting from the white house here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world an explosion in the southern afghan city of kandahar has killed at least sixteen and wounded dozens more what was first thought to have been a minibus packed with explosives authorities later said were two containers stored near mechanics' workshops no one has yet claimed responsibility and experimental vaccination program is underway in the democratic republic of congo the world health organization says more than thirty health care workers have received the shock of ortiz in congo or russia. to head off

a major outbreak that's after the deadly ebola virus was recently discovered in a large city for the first time. a court in germany has rejected a move by prosecutors to rearrest the cattle one separatist leader called. german prosecutors argued new evidence from spain showed that the cattle one leader was provoking violence which tomorrow has been in germany since he was arrested on an international warrant two months ago. of the british city of manchester has marks one year since a deadly attack and attack detonated the bomb outside a concert by the pop artist ariana grande killing twenty two people injuring scores more now the city is coming together in one voice thousands have gathered for a community sing along filling the air with songs of love and resilience the communal concert is being held to honor those lost and to help victims heal it

follows a moving ceremony earlier today. twenty two colored candles in manchester cathedral representing the twenty two people who died in the manchester arena bombing. the youngest was just eight years old. survivors families and friends of victims and first responders gathered in the cathedral for the national service of commemoration. they were joined by prince william british prime minister theresa may and other dignitaries. it's exactly a year since a suicide bomber blew himself up as thousands of music fans started leaving mentions to reno after a pop concert. hundreds of people were wounded.

twenty two people lost their lives over eight hundred searching the services manchester's bishop david walker urged britons to never stop caring for survivors. that. are not things we can simply franchise out to specialist provide us with an issue that we have just opened a geisha. if we seized on going road in supporting the victims and the families of the. once they continue to grieve of what has happened to them then we shall also fail in the practical tasks of building a society for them to live in. the service included a minute of silence observed across britain so would you please stand with me as real observe the one minute silence with people around the country.

the commemorations in manchester continue on into the evening. where the w's in charlotte chosen pill is in manchester tonight she joins me on the phone good evening to you charlotte so it has been a year since this tragic event how are people in manchester how are they coping. well manchester on down to the is a city that's been irrevocably changed by this time it's been scott is the merest manchester's put it but you also want to make clear that this is a proud city and this is a city that defines a city that one can be defined by this attack and a city that that is trying to move forward that it will not be broken by it and that's why so many thousands of people came to this evening look just to this singalong is just taking place but also to an event earlier today inside the cathedral which we saw in that report just now it's people of all ages were all faiths all of one wanting to come together to prove that that manchester will meet

on through this attack of course not forgetting those twenty two people who lost their lives in that attack it happened after an already on the ground a concert and she has been in touch hasn't she. that's why she's often been in touch to respond to the people as much as it to get that message that this time this morning it was a tweet she sent saying thinking of the old sending you all the light i have to offer on this challenging day now you might remember friends that just on two weeks off to the times last year and agreed that how to come to the tens of thousands of people turned out for a concert that was meant to bring people together and it was meant to be a sign of just financing unity and this message again is hoping to to try to do that once more she's not there in the past and schools that responded to this attack is that something today's court says prime minister to resign my seven this

last time she said town the statement she describes the a time as an act between cowardice she praised the king the contessa saying that they waited the best of the united kingdom a defiant with the best the best thing you could has to offer us as to the number of the people that is sent messages to school today and surely earlier today you were at that memorial service in manchester cathedral tell us about that. that's right where the prime minister was that prince william was barry's while they wanted to show the court on behalf of the government needs to change and i was streaming meeting ceremony that it will take down to the people gathered outside those who didn't have an invite into the cathedral and they had left a minute's silence subway through the spanish side was extremely touching suppose he was that people are standing many of them as close as crying as they were remembering those who lost their lives we saw a policeman who threw moose the helmet helmet only been wanting to pay their

respects to those who lost their lives and as we've seen this evening at the singalong that just taken place not just i want to make it very clear that it is proud and it will continue that is why so many of the events the tapes that have taken place today have had a very uplifting feel to them and it's not just a time for greece it is also a time to define. our charlotte tells and tell a story for us tonight in manchester thank you very much. you're watching the w. news live from berlin still to come brewster dortmund has named to their new coach can he revive the team's fortunes and turn them into title contenders again. their first stop will trump has managed to get trade concessions out of china but he's still not happy again you know as more with that in business thanks brian it looks like he got what he wanted but it wasn't enough china says it will slash import duties on foreign cars starting on the first of july tariffs will be lowered

from as much as twenty five percent to fifteen percent beijing's announcement comes as it tries to cool the trade dispute with the u.s. the two sides recently decided to hold off punitive tariffs on each other's goods that's well negotiations on a deal to narrow china's trade surplus with the u.s. continue it looked as if a trade war had been averted but now president trump says that he's not happy with the deal so far. for the insult is on wall street for as he ends it seemed like a done deal now trump isn't happy what happens now. it will take time and that's what old saw you as president donald trump said that it will take a little while before there might be a solution to the trade talks but actually i'm not really that surprised because if you just think back a couple of days the u.s. government was talking about they want to reduce the trade deficit with china by two hundred billion dollars so that's not an easy task to achieve and one of the

things that are still on the table is that if you as a foreign company if you want to do business with china you mostly have to make chile join a joint venture with the chinese firms this is one of the topics that the u.s. side and also alternations do not necessarily like so it's not that easy especially also the head of the treasuries the even muchin said over the weekend and we did see the reaction here on wall street after those comments from donald trump that he's not satisfied stocks dropped by almost two hundred points that use this session prompted by those talks china's lowering tariffs on new car imports is this the monumental move carmakers have been hoping for. it is a little step and actually it might serve german carmakers more than the u.s. carmakers if i have the numbers to write i believe b.m.w. they exported cars in the one hundred seventy eight thousand cars to china

last year general motors for eggs for instance they hardly export anything the cars that they sell in china they produce them in china so they are not part of those tariffs anyhow and also the number of cars that forte is exporting to china is not that much so the big beneficial risk could be companies like b.m.w. or. so that is funny so that this kind of approach from china might help the competition to u.s. carmakers more than the u.s. carmakers themselves ok not outcome there but an interesting one for sure yes quarter on wall street thank you very much for that. a little over a month before the next election turkey's president. is trying to create the image of a country with a strong economy and at first glance he's right the economy grew by more than seven percent in twenty seventeen but inflation is way above target and the man in charge

is dead against raising interest rates and going off script like that isn't exactly what foreign investors want to hear. many young people in turkey can't find a job a sure sign that the boom years are over one in five in that age group is no juggler's the country's economy has taken several hits in recent years one main reason more and more foreign capital is leaving turkey and emerging economy especially dependent on outside investment. those factors have sent the country's currency the lira tumbling by twelve percent since mid april alone it's lost seventeen percent since the start of the year. to stop the trend and to attract foreign money again the central bank would have to raise interest rates even further it lifted one key rate to thirteen and a half percent in april. president richard tire bet on recently called interest rates the mother of all evil and pledged to force the central bank into lowering

them seen by many as an election bribe to indebted citizens and companies. to ones plan to influence this ostensibly independent institution is only likely to further deter foreign investors the meeting new jobs could remain a pipe dream for many for some time to come. and our correspondent john is following the story in turkey for us she says far too much of other ones vaunted growth has come from projects which have little to do with sustainable productivity . well some analysts say that economic growth in turkey has been achieved through doping since growth rates have been powered mostly by stimulus measures and cheap credit from abroad and miss out on instead of investing this money in productive sectors in agriculture which is important here in turkey he invested this money in infrastructure projects roads bridges skyscrapers here in istanbul and other capitals and major cities and he is especially fond of

a multi-billion dollar project mega projects like stumbles gigantic third airport or a new project called canal istanbul which once it's finished is going to be something like turkey suicide canal of course such projects attract a lot of attention but they don't help increase productivity so experts say this growth is not sustainable it's not healthy it doesn't help people to improve their living conditions. business report now back to brant in a spiral of violence in west africa. in nigeria funerals are taking place for two priests and seventeen worshippers who were killed in an attack on their church last month. has been blamed on nomadic cowherd who are fighting farmers for scarce resources but that conflict has spilled over into wider ethnic religious and political violence and today catholics took to the streets across the country to

demand an end to the killing. adrian creech reports from the capital. we need peace this is what hundreds of demonstrators see in the capital minding they demand an end to the killings in that country that has been happening in the past years and months almost on the daily basis there are reports of new killings in the middle belt in particular of nigeria but also in the northern part of the country the reason why they're going on the streets today already happened three weeks ago went in been to a state in the middle belt of the country a church was attacked two priests were killed and seventeen warships we. continually have been due to. the fact that the government the talk. continues to be absolutely silent about the killings that are going on. that jury

is drawn into a situation of kaos. many states. clashes between herdsmen and farmers is nothing new to nigeria has been happening in the past but many up service believe that in the process two years the amount of attacks went up significantly in two thousand and six team though in the international crisis group says more than two thousand five hundred people were killed in clashes between herdsman and farmers there's at least two dimensions known to the crisis there is of course one can't the rest of us and criminal groups who attack communities and nigeria's president. keeps on insisting that the influx of weapons from libya after the crisis there increased to the problem here in nigeria but there is also an increase of attacks in communities between hurts men and farmers that we surf in the past here and one of those one hundred eighty million nigerians by two thousand

and fifteen it is projected to be four hundred. nigerians in the country so what's the way forward what's the solution be in this crisis a lot of civil society groups have been saying that grazing communities and grazing reserves could be a solution. areas whether it's men which go with the castle without having conflicts with local farmers but on the shirts it is very important that the nigerian government is beefing up security in those areas the areas that are affected mainly in the middle belt off the country also up in the north and it's very rural areas and a lot of nigerians living there have the feeling that the state has no control anymore. and that was our very own dream krishna reporting. has been. signed a contract until twenty twenty and will take over from. the sixty year old has bonus league experience having managed bruce you mentioned before resigning
