10:02 pm
church's general consulate in berlin up to sixty thousand turkish citizens are expected to vote at this polling station alone votes from turks living abroad could swing the election it's likely to be a close one. as you can see members of the turkish community are eager to cast their votes here in berlin they want to decide in which direction the country is heading where to many different opinions. six candidates have entered the presidential election and eight parties hope to win votes in the parliamentary election but most people here will be voting for or against heir to one. and you can with the same government should stay everything should remain as is which party k.p. . everything i bothers me what he did to us for sixteen years was not right he worked for himself. or any child you had it one is the best
10:03 pm
because he's built roads and hospitals for that one even proper roads into. or out of the union. the first day of the election has run smoothly each party has sent election monitors there it decisively countering accusations of vote rigging the turkish authorities carefully displaying openness. every evening these ballot boxes a sealed without having been opened my physique every evening kept under three looks and can only be open to all three parties are present. they will then be transported unopened to turkey on june twentieth. when go for that if you took i for fatah even the opposition pro kurdish h d p is not afraid of vote rigging in germany but they complain that no one from the h.t.t.p. is permitted to accompany the ballot boxes to turkey and once they've arrived it will be days before they're counted. the slim is that what's bad is that the vote
10:04 pm
banks will be locked up for three or four days in storage rooms and we don't know what will happen there a system on the east a lack of trust between the various political camps also in berlin. and for more let's go now to turkey on our correspondent dorian jones who is standing by with the latest from istanbul and dorian as we saw there early voting in the snap election now currently underway give us a sense of how crucial these overseas votes will be particularly those from germany . well it's about three million overseas voters of which germany accounts for about a hof of those votes now that's about seven percent of the fifty five million electorate and now those votes could be key to the outcome of the june polls because the presidential and parliamentary elections are becoming increasingly too close to call the president will be looking for a very high turnout among overseas voters because in the past they have strongly
10:05 pm
backed him and his ruling party. but turkish politicians for their part as you know they have been campaigning they were actually banned from doing so in germany and other parts of europe have tensions with the e.u. played a role in the campaigning there where you are in the country where if you are in last year's referendum to extend the country's presidential powers similar restrictions were put on campaigning now president urged one use that in his campaign provoking a crisis with several european countries including germany and playing the nationalist card and now that was widely seen as a factor in securing a narrower victory in the referendum now appears to be using the same tactics in this election but this time it doesn't seem to be gaining much traction and the reason is the economy is dominating this election last month the fall in the euro provoked fears of a financial crisis the repercussions of that are still being felt with fears that turkey could still face a financial and economic crisis going forward and that is dominating the election
10:06 pm
and that is a big barrier to the turkish president who is trying to consolidate his power we know that the u.n. for example and others that they have cast doubt on turkey's ability to hold a free and fair election given the state of emergency that is part of that power consolidation it's currently in place and these elections there are also likely to mean big structural changes to turkey's democracy as well right. well that's right the powers that were passed and lost his referendum come into effect with this election that grants power to the new president making the country an executive presidency giving him power to also use greater powers over the three and it reduces the role of parliament even abolishing the role of prime minister now present one thing that is necessary to deal with the challenges facing turkey them i've got problems ongoing war against kurdish insurgents but opposition
10:07 pm
parties say this is tantamount to an elected dictatorship they have found to reverse these reforms and that's why this election is seen as much in many ways as a vote on the future of democracy in turkey dorian jones and istanbul thank you. u.s. president donald trump says that he hopes that washington will be able to normalize ties with north korea in the future trump made the comments following talks with japan's prime minister shinzo out their meeting was focused on preparations for the june twelfth summit between the u.s. and north korea trump said that he could still walk away from the whole thing if those talks do not go well but that he hopes that the summit would lead to a new era for all korean. i hope the upcoming meeting in singapore represents the beginning of a bright new future for north korea and indeed a bright new future for the world the nuclearization of the korean peninsula would
10:08 pm
assure in a new era of prosperity security and peace for all koreans north and south and for people everywhere let's get more from washington because carson phenomena is standing by so karsten did the japanese prime minister shinzo abbate get what he came for in washington today. well at least to go to some assurances from donald trump that the united states will take japan's security concerns. into account when talking to the north korean leader of course there's the issue of the missing there's a fear in japan that deal with the americans might agree to a compromise by north korea gets to keep its medium range missile gives up its long range intercontinental ballistic missiles and of course those medium range missiles could still reach japan also does the issue of american troops on the korean
10:09 pm
peninsula and a very important issue for japanese prime minister shinzo. the question of japanese citizens who were up doctorates by north korea and i still kept as prison those in north korea and president trump promised to mr that he would to raise this issue with the chairman came in and singapore so yes he got at least. assurances that he gets this at least verbal there can japan rely on the u.s. delivering those demands during the summit. that's a big question donald trump is known to shoot from the hip or to follow his gut feeling also in discussions and he's often eager to create a good atmosphere and so he might when he sits down with chairman kim. at some point. simply show of the concerns of japan to not ruin the good atmosphere
10:10 pm
he said today that trump said today that he wants this meeting to build a relationship with the came and so therefore he might say well this is more important than all the details of what i talked to with prime minister carson just briefly before we go president trump traveling to canada for the g. seven summit tomorrow will he find some friendly faces when i think good there will be some friendly faces but there would be also very serious discussions behind the scenes at least i don't believe that those other leaders will confront president trump in a very aggressive way most of these people are rational people and they don't want a full blown conflict with the united states but it would be clear that there are very different attitudes especially when it comes to trade between the united states or the leader of the united states and those six other leaders carsten phenomena in washington thank you and now let's get
10:11 pm

10:12 pm
a mile and authorities have today suspended search and rescue efforts in the wake of sunday's all chemical reaction they say that rainy weather and hot volcanic material blanketing the area are making it impossible to keep up the search for survivors at least one hundred people are dead with close to two hundred still missing despite the efforts of emergency workers up until now. clearing the rubble after disaster struck for days crews worked tirelessly to find and remove bodies buried under volcanic ash it's been a grim task and dangerous too dangerous the official search has now been suspended . inside for parts of a squint emergency shelters have been set up for the evacuees those who made it here are the lucky ones. who are moving to love a came and took everything with it. which many people who were killed. but.
10:13 pm
we have nothing left nothing at all. because our leaders it was we had to leave we couldn't take anything with us. the ashes were coming after us but the people who stayed behind were buried underneath my own hands in mine also the battles we had on body of music of that on that else but the community has come together in a show of solidarity with people donating food and other items to help fellow guatemalans who've lost their homes. a makeshift memorial has also been set up to remember loved ones who were unable to flee the volcano's deadly rage. do you have you correspondent ophelia harms of in guatemala for us she joins us now from an area where survivors are being sheltered tell us a feel you know where are you exactly right now and how are these evacuees holding up at this hour. i'm in
10:14 pm
a church that has been the ability to for people to stay here it's about four hundred people who are saying here and they some of them are very desperate they don't know if they will ever be able to return to their homes some don't know how long they will have to stay in these conditions and they they are also worried about their places some of the areas are so devastated that they will probably not be inhabitable after this sastre but the good news is that there's a lot of aid coming in we have seen aid coming from all over the country people driving up to twelve hours to get here and bring food and medical supplies and now the international help is also arriving there was a problem before yesterday some buses were stuck in the different frontiers but now they are coming in and so people will probably not have to worry at least for a while and speaking about that help of failure because of course we heard there a bit earlier that the rescuers that they suspended the search for the victims
10:15 pm
today how was that news affecting to mullins many of whom may not know where their loved ones are at this hour and will the search resume. on many people here are sad. news came in this morning and obviously some more shock because they still remain with the hope that their loved ones will be fine found their rescue works or start as you mentioned because of the climate conditions and the hogs material that is still in the area as we saw the rescuers which who smelled whose foods were melting. they might resume further on what the authorities say is that there is. a monitoring system that will be watching movies volcanic activity and if it's safe to go back they will you must remember that the mines are very religious and burying their bodies of their loved ones is very important to them so they want the bodies to be rescued from the areas you just
10:16 pm
briefly before we go accusations that authorities failed to warn people early enough is that a fair assessment. people do blame the elf already as they say that one say knew about the disaster is because they had ashes above their heads already and thirty's blame each other the ones that are in charge of monitoring the volcanic activity said they had been giving the arms during the whole weekend and evacuation was only ordered forty five minutes after the explosion now the opposition leaders in parliament have said that they will investigate the government for probable probable what they say could be negligence . harms a rooty with the latest from guatemala this hour thank you. now it's over to havea gave us who joins us with the latest on the trade tussle between china and the united states that's right new developments that are you guessed it controversial
10:17 pm
sarah the u.s. government has finally reached a deal with chinese phone makers e t e p now the firm can once again by american components that are crucial to its business in exchange for a hefty one billion dollar fine the announcement comes two months after washington accused the company of breaching a settlement related to an earlier violation of sanctions against iran and north korea it requires the company change its board of directors in thirty days and include a team of american compliance officers that's all they call the loss of access to american parts threaten to shut down production the issue is part of the trade dispute between china and the u.s. . and our financial correspondent at the new york stock exchange sophie szymanski has been following this story for us so it's very good to see you again now let's start with just companies e.t.e. because it is certainly an important company in china but it's not a big player in the u.s.
10:18 pm
so why is donald trump making such a big deal out of. well i think he sees this deal as a linchpin in the greatest passions between the united states and china and he seems to think making this deal might help him into a stronger position and bargaining with china in terms of trade in general and maybe let me sum up what secretary of commerce wilbur ross and treasury secretary save him in newton explained when they met with a group of concerned senate republicans on wednesday afternoon the administration seems to be seeking to make a deal because the chinese have made it clear they will not deliver trade who it is concessions like purchasing more agricultural goods and energy from the united states without an agreement that lifts this and i oughter these what a person familiar with the matter said american technology firms in china may also face retaliation from the chinese government if we just shut down so this is
10:19 pm
clearly something china once but this starts criticism once again because some say this proves the trump is not being tough on china as you promised but superscription their. well i think many people are really scratching their heads over it this president started this potentially costly trade war with china in large part because he said china is no an american jobs by flooding the market with cheap imports but now some fifty one says face chinese jobs come through willingness to reconsider the company's penalty it has drawn bipartisan backlash in congress and lawmakers the administration is unwisely linking their health security and trade to take for example senator michael bennet democrat a power outage so i think his statement comes to everyone when things are pretty well how is china supposed to think about what it is the united states is trying to accomplish percy says he's going to thank them and then he doesn't think that
10:20 pm
what's certain is that trump keeps us all guessing thank you very much so fishing muskie in new york for the analysis. bank of america is reportedly looking to move more jobs than originally envisaged from london to its new paris office it's shaping up to be one of the biggest shifts ahead of rex a first wave of four hundred staff will move early next year the banks refurbishing enough office space to create a european trading hub once britain leif's the e.u. and for corporate news a highly anticipated merger is finally complete german chemicals group by your has sealed its takeover of u.s. seeds maker monsanto it's worth sixty three billion dollars buyer is already a giant and will become even bigger a global player than a month santa will disappear but its brands remain including the weed killer roundup which contains the controversial chemical life will state. it took almost

10:23 pm
earning that committal use your own with two point nine billion euros but that's still not much when looking at europe's number one the english premier league with total revenues above five billion euros and it's with twenty clubs that have set annual records just ten years ago more than half of the premier league clubs were making an operating loss and we asked the author of that report stefano dick which trends he's got his eye on what we see is a change in consumer behavior and media consumption so it will be very interesting if the the new play as the field in the media business which also come from the online and digital sector will continue to drive the revenue growth in the next couple of years there is still an enormous interest by broadcasters and sponsorship companies this has also been
10:24 pm
a key driver in the past years and i'm sure it will continue to be a drawing. and we're speaking of those revenue sources and one of them is streaming services amazon has just secured the rights to broadcast premier league football matches it's the latest disruption to the traditional broadcasting landscape england's top flight awarded the retailer the rights to stream twenty matches per season for the next three years but only two amazon prime subscribers in the u.k. amazon has recently been broadcasting more sporting events including the n.f.l. and ten pts. it's all for business but we stay in the subject was close it's back to sara for germany's world cup preparations slowly and as we know they won it the last time around right how they are so i mean they have a lot of stake this time around so a lot of people looking to the squad looking to their training it turns out that they have finished at their training camp in italy confident that they have done the necessary groundwork for a successful tournament the team is back in germany now for
