i am. this is you don't reduce line from berlin straight out of a crime thriller a man comes back from the dead widely respected russian journalist arkady but shango yesterday reportedly gunned down today he's turned up alive and well at a news conference we'll get reaction from here at the end moscow also coming up the markets settle down after encouraging words from italy's prime minister doesn't it article that as he says new possibilities have emerged to form a new government the two main populist parties are back to the drawing board to work out

a possible compromise plus mexico gets ready to make waves at the world cup we take a look at how germany's group rivals are shaping up and how the tell my kids could make history. and on the air after american network a.b.c. pulled the plug on roseanne barr's show over in racist tweets the star apologizes to colleagues for losing them their jobs through what she calls a bad joke. on leyla hock you so much for your company everyone and we start this broadcast with a stunning twist in a story that we've been reporting all day a well known russian journalist who ukrainian authorities claimed were shot and killed in the capital kiev yesterday showed up alive and well at a press conference in the ukrainian capital. go well. appeared to with the head of

ukraine security services has said the. death was staged as part of a special operation to preempt a real plot to murder the journalist officials also screened a video that they say showed the arrest the arrest of a ukrainian man allegedly involved in the murder plot. all right we've got team coverage. sure we're in is in the russian capital moscow and the collie is in kiev for you nick want to give you the first word extraordinary turn of events that tell us about this a press conference that took place earlier. well indeed these have been a pretty extraordinary couple of hours so we. called at last minute to this press conference it all happened relatively quickly where we had the head of ukraine's spy service and the interior minister parading. telling the world over an operation

they say lost it about two months from the time they discovered plans from russia they say to organize his killing not only his thing they say other people were talking to other russian emigres which august but his operation and they explained quite how they had involved in this telling him slightly later and even. supposedly planned killer was it seems working with the ukrainian security services so there was a plot within a plot and the only person not within this built within the plot seems to be the person they say is the organizer who is now being taken into custody ok has what i had to chuckle to himself to say during this press conference. sebastian himself started with an apology to his wife who seems was not in on the plan his wife and his six adopted children and he went on to describe how it is that will happen and said this was necessary for the ukrainian

authorities to be able to prove the links of this the organizer of this. alleged planned killing with russia explaining why this was necessary and why his family and also ukraine journalists and all of his friends had to go through this now and they want to go to you in moscow from the get go russia denied them that lee any involvement in the kremlin must feel vindicated. well absolutely and we've had a official statement from the foreign ministry now describing this whole thing as an anti russian provocation they also called it propaganda and there's also been reactions from various parliamentarians in the russian duma including the head of the international foreign relations committee who called it a provocation as well and who compared this case to this great pollock case and i've seen that on several russian media outlets as well. after all russia may

maintains that it was not behind the poisoning of former russian spy sergei screwball in england even though the international community blamed blamed russia for that and this really plays into russia's hands because now russia can kind of use this case to show that. all other cases where russia was accused were also fake were also some kind of applaud and we've seen the russian state russian state television as well using this opportunity to kind of mock ukraine's operation and they've been rather sarcastic and reporting about this whole case does actually very interesting point emily because the reporters without borders chief has condemned the egyptian corporation as a percentage stunt is ukraine losing the public relations battle and credibility in general. well i think this is an interesting one less on the one

hand you have a pretty exclusively negative reaction abroad especially from many international figures including foreign ministers germany's president who gave the commiserations to his family now if the field is something that they have egg on their face and feel that this whole. endeavor somehow undermines genesee credibility in the fight against fake news on the other hand this seems to be playing incredibly well within the country and seen not only by. ukraine's government but also by many local journalists and low commentators as a big success for ukraine's security services their ability to prevent what's being said is a russian plots and to save his life so a real dichotomy there longer term they say they will present more evidence to explicitly link this planned attack against optical with russia on the russian security services so they obviously still think that the gains outweigh the losses and the pushback they've been getting in the you of this following this

announcement. it's kind of getting lost now and all of this but of course a very renowned war reporter can you tell us a little bit more about him. so ok but think of was himself someone who had fought in war he'd been of soldier in a russian soldier in the chechen was nine hundred ninety s. then became a reporter and reported from conflict zones in the sea and also in eastern ukraine he became increasingly critical and outspoken as kristen of the kremlin vladimir putin and late twenty sixteen when a russian military plane taking a minute orchestra to entertain troops in syria crashed he used the opportunity to remind his readership of russia's the human cost of rushed involvement syria this was taken as a deeply unpatriotic act by many in russia and he became for a time a sort of public enemy number one for many pro kremlin media so much so that he felt unsafe that he was receiving threats and left the country and has been here in

ukraine now for just over a year where he continues his journalism with extensive reporting through facebook he has a big readerships that russia and also hosting a particular show here in ukraine right now he finds himself at the center of the story nick calio reporting from kiev ukraine and we sure win in the russian capital moscow thank you guys for continued coverage. all right and i want to bring in now our senior correspondent frank hofmann who has was based in kiev for quite some time is great to get your take on this because what a stunt it is isn't it i was surprised myself in the course of the day when all that came up however i'm not so surprised that you my thing about the media handling of ukrainian authorities of all we have seen that before in other cases very often the authorities in ukraine the secret service but also on the political level are not aware of the international reactions on what they are doing there on the field in their hybrid war with russia and this is another example of of course

the freedom of press and the accurate information of press and media by public institutions as well you itself here in the western world in other in all over europe i would say and of course the united states and elsewhere in the world there is a value and obviously this has not been seen and really appreciated and accepted yet here i think we see that still ukraine even more even twenty eight thirty is after the fall of the berlin wall out of the end of soviet of the soviet union a lot in the minds of officials in this country a lot of thinking is still becky all that speculate in the one thousand nine hundred in the post soviet times what do you think i mean make them resort to staging this murder and then having to backtrack and say oh no he's actually alive

and even the family of the reporter being kept in the dark which seems particularly curled look we have seen different murder cases against journalists before in ukraine and this is of course the case i mean the fishes have to have to react and act this is a question politically on international on the level of international affairs where ukrainians political ukraine politicians all been have been aust by. european partners and of course the pressure on the secret service is very hard and tough to do something on that however again they have the feeling they until today did not on the stump bringing up results is yes important but when you have in mind what kind of effect the way you do this house is also equally important. in terms of the public relations battle there a bit on the back foot right now do you think they could turn that around to some damage control if they do bring forth the evidence that actually yes they have preempted the murder of this very renowned war reporter and kremlin critic of

course is what everybody's waiting for now however will they succeed will you know brought the will of the people internationally we as a service believe the prosecutor at the end we don't know we have seen pictures for example of money cash been handed over allegedly. you can see anything there this has been done in other corruption cases also in europe before much more professional especially in central eastern europe where people go where countries and societies have huge problems with corruption that has been much done better than white. fishes and plays is not able to just copy paste here all right senior correspondent frank often always good to get your take thank you much indeed for having me. i want to bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. the so-called islamic state has claimed responsibility for an attack on the ob-gyn interior ministry that left one policeman dead a ministry spokesman said the raid had been thwarted and seven attackers killed

a series of deadly attacks in kabul this year has killed and injured hundreds of people. belgian authorities say the man who killed three people in the city of leo's yesterday killed another man the day before police are treating the case as a terrorism act the attacker had a history of petty crime and drug offenses and may have been radicalized when in prison he died in a shootout with police markets that raise the alarm over political stalemate have now somewhat settled down after prime minister designate carlo carli said new possibilities had emerged for forming a government no details have emerged yet but the two main populous parties are said to be trying to work out a compromise that would be acceptable to caught a rally and the president you scuttled their plans their planned government last

weekend. one step forward two steps back just as it looked like italy would finally get a government it all fell apart the new prime minister designate color quarterly is bouncing between parliament and president simply trying to wrangle together a temporary cabinet meanwhile on the streets of rome confusion and disappointment abound. i am worried by the direction things are moving in and it seems the extremist against europe and the problems of italians and the wider problem of europe. and with the politicians who are trying to help people have their hands tight because the stronger political forces when. you go. to populist party is a five star movement and the league made better than expected gains in the election but were unable to form a government some reports say they're now trying to find a new power sharing compromise but more than anything new elections look likely.

you all you did look was there i want to say two things we still want to go back to the polls as soon as possible but we are willing to collaborate including with the president. we want to be coherent but collaborative in order to resolve the current crisis it's certainly not a crisis we caused. the euro skeptic stance of these two leading parties has rattled markets over fears of a possible it'll exit from the e.u. . already given his brother they still is on the story tracking developments from the italian capital rome up barber it's back to square one. giving it another go what's changed. nothing changed it's just that there is a horse trading going on behind the scenes and earlier this evening i made a promise that now i figured i cannot keep my promise there present. with this

evening. for dinner which is around eight or nine o'clock that means right now make a decision whether he wants to have new elections or whether he's going to give the league and the five star movement the chance no i mean what we're talking about he changed his mind he said let's give this whole process more time the political process so after one day where the leaders of the parties and of parliament we're moving around from one polite suit to another pull out so up on the hill down to the parliament and back to this palace that we see the background here without getting any result we will have to pour in another day of the same game this is it's a fight about power and it's a fight of course about this so let me tell if it's only in the sense because all parties are now trying to populist parties and i'm trying to influence their voters and tell them please supporters and let's go our way all right well let's continue on the that subject because as you were reporting to out at least seems embroiled

in this power struggle between on the one hand you are skeptics and then you've got the pro e.u. mainstream politicians how divided is the country barbara. the country is quite divided the problem is though that the mainstream parties at the moment in rome play absolutely no role a new more county a would try to stage a comeback but he's not going to succeed in the polls he's down to eight percent negligible and the social democratic party has completely exploded or imploded as you like and negligible so there is nobody left really to sort of stem the wave of populism that now seems to really close ovid's really and it's if you talk to people in the streets here many people particularly among the idea of markets and traders and taxi drivers and people in bars say we like that this government now we want to have it we want to try them because so long italy has been under the under governments who didn't do anything for the little people for people in the street

now we want to change that so that is the mood and the mood is really strong and its influence influencing what's happening here at the moment are right in the thick of it in rome thank you for your coverage. i'm joining us now is to begin there she is the european member of parliament for the italian five star movement a very good evening the leader of your a party in which the mio met with the president and interim prime minister today is this a sign that italy could soon get a new government or is it too soon to tell. actually we hope so now luigi the. political leader. asked for a new chancellor and he did to propose on. as the problem was the name of. actually a very important economist name a very important name like

a. professor lorna and he proposed to. change the. i mean it in order to satisfy the requirements of the president. in order to have to change my government that we promote to our electoral and start walking down the only four hours exactly now it's up to the lincoln let's talk about your supporters because and do you think that your your party which is the single largest party in the italian parliament owes it to the italian people to reach a coalition and steer your country towards political stability. yes it actually we never had a coalition or i lines in this case it is also not to coalition and order in our alliance but we signed a contract we signed

a real contract with the different points that are important for us in our program as well in the program of the league and we know that our support and now are asking to deliver that points and yesterday in naples there were. even to a lot of people. and they asked to start also people that. said that they they never vote for a five star movement but after these. days they are ready to support our government right now if they really go if a new government is indeed for between the league and the five star movement your party do you think that there is a chance of big change underway on the way for italy. i think that it will be because a for the first time we really cool to see it

isn't at the center of our political agenda and this is the first time that actually we are ready to work for small and medium enterprises well for cities and as well for the poorest part of the of our society in italy we have a very bad situation about the unemployment rate about. old school. safety because there's so many people that are not more in the middle i'm not more able to afford the safety expense anymore so we are now trying to get the right answer for these people to give also a possibility to our country to increase or also the economic ration so there's a lot to do i have only ten seconds left so this is going to be yes or no answer do

you want to leave to leave the e.u. for the record you know. we wanted to leave e.u. is not our goal and this is not that. all right that's good to know for the record it's yaniv it in europe the member of parliament for the italian five star movement thank you so much for spending time with us thank you thank you for it. all right and helena is here now as we take a look at a last ditch attempt for europe to avoid trade tariffs because they've got that trouble on their hands absolutely is a lot on your state right now is a mad dash at the moment in paris with european officials trying to hold back the united states from hiking tariffs of an o.e.c.d. ministerial meeting in the french capital today is that last chance to defuse the trade dispute and prevent the trade war now both sides have their lists of targeted groups join up the organization for economic co-operation and development is repeating its warning against important days at the same time as causing this

year's growth for cost. under mounting pressure the e.u. met with u.s. delegates for talks on the sidelines of the o.e.c.d. summit in paris the europeans want to convince the u.s. to cancel planned tariffs on steel and aluminum due to kick in on friday u.s. commerce secretary wilbur ross remained unfazed by the european haste and can be negotiations with or without tariffs in place news there are plenty of tariffs he has in place on us and so it's not that you can't talk to us because the terms e.u. trade commissioner cecilia mao strome rejected that approach she wondered retaliatory measures including a trade war if negotiations fail. our future course of action will depend on the nature and the severity of measures imposed on our exports by the united states and

the injury it does to our industry and that could mean tariffs on many u.s. products including cranberries peanut butter orange juice motorcycles and whisky the ongoing trade disputes with its uncertain outcome has tainted the atmosphere and it's likely to affect the german economy to the o.e.c.d. has downgraded germany's economic growth prognosis from two point four percent to two point one percent. and i want to bring in our correspondent lisa lewis in paris now lisa talks have wrapped up bring us up to date with where we are right now. today was the day of the last ditch efforts actually to come to an agreement so the french and the german economics minister and the you trade commissioner have been talking to the u.s. secretary of commerce and the talks have been going on behind closed doors every day is telling us we don't know what's going to happen we haven't come to an agreement just yet and everybody's watching looking at u.s.

president donald trump and as we know his action his actions are really unpredictable where from your analysis from what you've heard today do we know if this is going to escalate what's the feeling well it feels like there is a real chance that it will actually if you look at what donald trump has decided over the past year or so often it was the decision that everybody was afraid of the e.u. here the e.u. represent the representatives and the representatives from the different countries were saying we are prepared we've got other measures in place and we will not take that on the chin if it happens and lisa what if anything could stop this escalating . the e.u. saying we are happy to negotiate as long as you grant us and an unlimited

exemption to the terrorists and then we can sit down at a table and talk about maybe you know what the what the u.s. is asking for is a cap on exports of aluminum and steel to the us or actually bringing down some other terrorists in the e.u. the e.u. as i said is saying we can talk about that as long as you make the first step lisa louis in paris thank you. now china says it will protect itself from what it labeled a great kill or reckless u.s. trade actions the u.s. has signaled it's going ahead with import tariffs against china after all and that's a reversal of the softening position the trumpet administration was recently taking well during trade negotiations with the asian powerhouse the move would mean a twenty five percent tariff on fifty billion dollars worth of chinese goods within the next month chinese trade officials say they're not surprised by the reversal which followed criticism in the u.s. that china was getting the better deal. i have

has promised to review whether looted cultural artifacts should be returned to their countries of origin just as greece is demanding the return of greek artifacts from the british museum to athens so binning in west africa is demanding the return of bronze sculptures that are currently in museums in london vienna and berlin has more. a scepter for the new royal sculptures eric began making such objects when he was just a child he comes from a family of bronze artists and learn the techniques from his father this tradition goes back to the thirteenth century in his home of byname city in southern nigeria as ancestors started producing plaques and sculptures for their king.

so we use. these to do. artists produced thousands of these valuable objects over the centuries painting cities museum on the has a few of them in its collection most were looted in one thousand nine hundred seven when british soldiers invaded the royal palace collectors and museums in europe then purchased them at art auctions. nigeria is now pushing for their return negotiations have been happening for the past eight years according to theone by the museum's director but there's been little headway europe says that more intensive research is needed to determine the origin and acquisition of the artworks. just. to say this in law.

and the representative go but whatever you look to do so what that walk after was through. sources goats o.b.j. the father got lunch. from. the was an uptick in the first there was a book about well that was a. good for what also says those critical of their return have a different argument they say the bronzes are now part of world cultural heritage and would be better preserved in large international museums than in a nigerian province but artists like nike davies o'quinn de view such arguments with cynicism she's the owner of nigeria's largest private gallery her mission is fostering the younger generations talent and those young artists often cannot travel to europe and the country not to keep your a.b.c.

i see i want to enjoy i see deep trance oh my god that is in the british will still be sad don't want to make sure we get it back. eric and his colleagues in benning city have also never seen their ancestors masterpieces in european museums but they say there is a positive side to the debate over looted nigerian art it's a confirmation to the world that africa is rich with sought after cultural treasures. while the subject remains a very sensitive one a year ago and summer is professor of african history at the university in hamburg and joins us now good to have you with us in the summer for me this is a non brainer art that has been would it should be given back to the country of origin so what's so complicated about this. well there is no political will in europe to return to out the looted art in simplest not because it isn't

a big issue to return it to argument often made is that there would be preserved in regions of origin i mean this is a fake argument because the first step in the case is a biggie in process it's completely clear that it's looted ought and nothing but loot it ought. to return ownership to nigeria and then lend some of the branches back to to build in order. to land so there is no political good to return that would have been a. very elegant solution that the one that you were proposing there i do feel that there is a more obligation with the museums in europe to return these artifacts well of course it is i mean if you accept the fact that you have stone objects in your possession and that goes well beyond the bin process it's

a large number of all the objects collected under the conditions of colonialism. i think that the two of a dubious origin at least that you are have to ask yourself do you want to accept it looted out what do you do want to keep it and that's a very principled question and germany for example has. discretion has it got to do to top this from the nazi era and the issue. of your own good to say moral standards to the colonial church up so in that in that says museums inform visitors that they are going to be seeing stolen art. i think it's the duty of all european museums mainly is not your guy who is you know who goes beyond that to say yes you have to misplace well be sure to show to your well we are not one hundred percent sure that they're looted but because they were acquired

on the conditions of colonialism there's a whole group ability to try plus unfair you know or force because of our inequality inherent in colonialism and the european should be made of wealth and that counters the richness of the sort of mission also those museums who just threw arms just superiority of the european college just to say basically we base this own on robbery or they're going some are professor for african history in hamburg thank you for weighing in you know a come. our analogize here now was greek workers are putting down their tools and taking to the streets right of course all eyes are on a city at the moment asking about whether we'll see a financial crisis that we shouldn't forget that greece's third and final bailout comes to an end in august but as part of the multi billion euro lifeline creditors are demanding new austerity measures including wage cuts and higher taxes greek

workers they will have had enough unions have called for twenty four hours strikes widespread cancellations today for trains planes and ferries now since the debt crisis started in twenty ten greece's received two hundred sixty billion euros in bailout loans in exchange for measures such as public sector layoffs tax hikes and pension cups. where the greek economy has returned to growth again but the pain is still being felt across the country. these ferries and parades harbor won't be going anywhere today there's no one around to operate them it's a similar picture at many railway stations to workers are angry at the latest wage cuts and tax hikes in central athens thousands took to the streets in protest since the debt crisis started in twenty ten wages in greece have been slashed by more than a quarter the greek economy is now growing again but many greeks feel they're the ones paying for the recovery. the sound of this you know if the government has to

stop stealing our money because that's what they've been doing when someone puts their hand in my pocket and takes everything i have there a thief so was the government. well you know that. we're fighting together with our children and grandchildren to take back what has been taken away from us and to open a new horizons for new conquests because the poverty here is a disgrace in the twenty first century. that we bought neighborhood up until the. the government says it understands the anger but is appealing to people to be patient it's going to be a long time before greece is finally out of the woods. and greece is the any e.u. country that only just survived the last year is a crisis portugal also needed a bailout in return for the base the austerity that a socialist government was returned to power and raise the minimum wage boosted

welfare reversed tax cuts on the rich the markets well they screamed in panic but today portugal has been growing every quartet.
