this is d.w. news line from brother g seven leaders in canada made unprecedented tensions the host nation had wanted to focus on issues like climate change and gender equality but the trade was spotted by washington and now a new proposal from donald trump a sewing division amongst allies also on the program.
8:01 pm
germany and for other countries are elected to be united nations security council as normal when it members so will this move see pauline exert a bigger influence on world effects. to future suspects rape and killing a german dead teenager is arrested in iraq the case involving their projected asylum sake i'm the fourteen year old girl a stokes germany's politically charged immigration peabody's. also schoolchildren in berlin fasting during ramadan opinions are divided over whether children should observe the ritual we ask muslim students how they feel about supporting food and drink sunrises and sunsets. i'm phil graham welcome to the program. the g. seven summit which brings together some of the world's most powerful industrialized
8:02 pm
countries has begun in the canadian province of quebec prime minister justin trudeau has been welcoming world leaders among some prime minister to resume his german chancellor angela merkel the summit was expected to focus on economic growth climate change agenda equality and the ongoing dispute over trade and tires but now there is another unexpected topic courtesy of donald trump is holding leaving for canada he calls controlled by calling for russia to be readmitted to the g. seven russia was expelled following the annexation of crimea. right to be in this meeting why are we having a meeting without russia being in the meeting as i would recommend and it's up to them but russia should be in the me to get to be a part of it you know whether you like it or not and it may not be politically correct but we have a world to run added the g seven which used to be the g eight they threw russia out
8:03 pm
they should let russia come back in because we should have russia to go yes. let's get moving data because for example on naaman who's in quebec city welcomed alexander why is donald trump making these statements before the summit season started. well donald trump he is going to face a lot of criticism here particularly because of his trade policies and he knows that it's going to be a very contentious summit so it's his way of setting his own agenda of trying to distract the attention from the disputed issue of trade by adding another controversial topic to the agenda and at the same time he is showing that he doesn't think of backing down he driver double down interesting for the russia
8:04 pm
could be here on the agenda there is a working session schedules to take place tomorrow a working session on security issues for example on russia but that would be the time by which probably donald would have already left the summits so obvious comments further alienating the g. seven members and me you. it was italy's new prime minister he was the only one here who back to donald trump saying that it is a good idea for russia to join their group it would be in the interest of everyone but it is of course not said the official european union stance on russia and we are hearing that the europeans met on the sidelines of this summit and agreed to have a joint strategy to deal with president trump they apparently oppose the return
8:05 pm
of russia to this group and they are trying to push to have references to free trade rules and a joint statement that it's expected to be signed tomorrow and of course there are lots of other contentious issues up for discussion what are the chances of getting a final statement but all seven sign ups are. well there is a wide disagreement on many issues not only on trade also on climate change or on the iran nuclear deal so it's rather likely that we really going to see a joint statement at the end signed by all sit seven members of the g. seven alexander of the g. seven summit in quebec canada thank you. involve united nations general assembly in new york has voted for germany and for other nations to become known permanent members of the security council of the one hundred ninety nations taking part one hundred and eighty four voted in favor of germany's two year along with
8:06 pm
belgium south africa the dominican republic or money to indonesia as nonpermanent members they have no veto unlike the five permanent members. german foreign minister heiko must welcome the results. we want to be a perceptible voice for peace in the security council. but above all for the future of a multilateral world order under the rule be stolen. if. we want to live up to the responsibility that comes with it. we want to make a contribution to results conflicts and not even to a low crises to emerge. let's come on let's get more from the data because from a cousin in washington welcome constant. this is a two year what will germany need to do during this time.
8:07 pm
when germany was definitely try hard to make this institution the united nations work as germany in general is always trying to work in mighty letter of frameworks germany believes in cooperating with others that might be partly due to the lessons of germany's history. in the past of recent germany on some try to force its bill by military force on other germans that this is not the right way to go ahead obviously but also it's an acceptance of the fact that germany alone is too weak to do anything or to to bring along with force its will on others so germany genuinely the political class believes in these mighty that's what frameworks and this is i think for germany you would focus on also of course on the issues at hand climate change the security situation and germany's neighborhood as in ukraine all the middle east and standing against the tide of international of national
8:08 pm
populism and economic nationalism that we've seen all over the world now will the security council has been far from united what can germany do to change that. well it can use its reputation maybe also to some extent on so it's money to make things work to make things run smoothly germany at the moment is quite popular to see as a force for good by many countries in the world i mean this vote was one hundred eighty four votes for germany only four opposed that is trusted germany can work with and so they would probably try to make things work if that is possible in the current situation with a resurgent russia with a rising china and where the united states seems to increasingly try to go it alone
8:09 pm
on the donald trump that remains to be seen of course so what's likely to be angela merkel's key issues. as i said the making these institutions work in the first place trying to use the united nations and the security council to solve some of the issues in germany's neighborhood such as the crisis in the middle east the war in syria for instance the refugee crisis but also the situation in ukraine which still remains unresolved and also there are other big issues where at least germany believes one nation alone cannot really solve them climate change is one but there are many other issues concerning the environment or the fight against poverty in the world so these are things germany will work on but i think the real focus is trying to be a force for good also in the u.n. security council make it work bring people together and keep them talking instead
8:10 pm
of just taking their vetoes and blocking progress because of anomaly washington thank you. now to some of the other stories making news around the world officials in the gaza strip say three palestinians have been killed and hundreds wounded in renewed protests on israel's border israeli army fight tear gas and live bullets in an attempt to disperse the crowd israel accuses hamas of using the protests to try to bridge the border of protesters say they want to draw attention that dire humanitarian situation. you're a celebrity chef and t.v. host on to the board day has been found dead or day host of the parts unknown travel series on c.n.n. the network said he hung himself in a hotel room in france where he be working on the program it was sixty one. austria's right wing government has announced plans to shut down several mosques and expelled dozens of muslim clerics or. sebastian court said there was no place
8:11 pm
in the country for what he called parallel societies political islam and radical tendencies he's called the measures racist and anti islam. a fugitive suspected of raping and murdering a fourteen year old german girl has been arrested in iraq the man the police are naming only as allie b. is a rejected asylum seeker who left germany for iraq with his family last week is being held by kurdish authorities in the city of irbil the case of a has reignited germany's politically charged debate on immigration. they can't fathom what has happened. over fourteen year old susanna who lived there until she was murdered. the suspected murderer is a refugee from iraq. is the young man charged with the killing he
8:12 pm
came to be spared in two thousand and fifteen and had been living in a refugee center germany's right wing populist party of the a fifty called for parliament to on of the dead girl with a minute of silence they say. two thousand and fifteen refugee policy are to blame for this crime the other parties are outraged. the german parliament is a place for debate it is not a place to use the plight of a victim to further your own political cause you should be ashamed of yourselves. not see no reason to use this tragic case to reflect upon individual political decisions or decisions from twenty fifteen which society supports. susanna's body was found in hessen on wednesday by this time the murder suspect b. was no longer in germany he and his family flew back to iraq and it is there that he was arrested friday morning. the suspected murderer. was arrested tonight eight twenty eighteen at two am by kurdish security
8:13 pm
authorities in northern iraq at the request of the german federal police work of the split. the case has inflamed the debate regarding germany's handling of refugees levy was denied asylum one and a half years ago he had lodged an appeal which had not yet been processed. psyched anguish this shows once again that rejected asylum seekers must be sent home urgently every individual who is required to leave but especially criminals. german police are investigating the murder of susanna politicians are debating how to get rejected asylum applicants to leave germany more quickly. let's get more on the story from the date of the political correspondents are many young welcomes partly early baby was known to police so how was he able to leave
8:14 pm
the country. yeah one answer phil is quite simply that the police weren't looking for him at the time that he'd left the country so that's one point to make another thing is. he names on his identity documents were apparently not checked at the airport against the tickets. now this is something that is sometimes done but by airlines but it's not mandatory in every case and this man and his family were leaving germany for turkey initially and the law doesn't require that id check to be done in that case another point to make is that they were in possession of so-called let's say pass a sort of provisional passports in arabic so that too could have been a source of confusion to authorities are saying that they're going to check whether the rules were followed or indeed whether any rules need to be changed as
8:15 pm
a result of this case so he's in a bill now what happens next is he to be extradited to germany. well that's unclear at the moment it. has become clear today that there is no extradition treaty between germany and iraq but it is possible for extradition is to take place in individual cases so the german authorities will certainly be seeking that a lot of politicians here have been saying today that you know that is the most natural thing to happen that would serve the demand for justice in germany best if this man were brought back to face justice here and the interior minister horst say who first said that he's working closely with his counterparts in iraq to make that happen if possible so how does this case like this or affect germany's heated debate about coping with the influx of asylum seekers well i think it will
8:16 pm
inevitably inflame it further as you know there is a lot of tension and anger. from some quarters in germany about the sort of secondary effects of the migrant influx that there has been and about angela merkel's policy of opening germany's doors effectively and letting in more than a million people a couple of years ago there have been similar cases what we've got here is a you know a rejected asylum seeker somebody who's an application for asylum had been rejected committing a crime even though he should have gone home and we've seen that is similar cases before so it's bound to fuel the already emotive atmosphere that there is a simon your thank you. this is t w news still to come another day another previously breach at facebook the social media giant says i
8:17 pm
software bug means that it shared private post for up to fourteen million users. this is here with user generated biggest lender which could be on its last legs i think people have been saying that for some time home that's right and we'll hear it and at least i can tell you this time it's not a scandal that we're going to hear about dodge a bank the chairman of the bank has reportedly been talking to shareholders about a possible merger with competitor come out stuck according to bloomberg talks have not reached a formal stage the two biggest german banks were said to have broken off net merger negotiations two years ago speculation has grown about a possible tie up of the two since private equity companies are bearers capital took a share in both banks. and earlier we asked our financial correspondent all the spots if it's a good idea for germany's two largest lenders to get together. i think it is
8:18 pm
least according to most of the people i've talked to because one of their number one problems is cost and they're way above what comparable banks in europe or in the international realm are having and if they merge then of course they could reduce costs drastically much more than they can by themselves they're already restructuring slashing thousands of jobs but together this process would be accelerated accentuated and would help them but probably yield more profit the downside is there are would be jobs getting lost and integrating a merger is always difficult not guaranteed to be successful in the end because of the people involved. there was a response in frankfurt to argentina and now the country has sealed the deal for a fresh loan from the international monetary fund the i.m.f. will provide a three year fifty billion standby credit to the south american country the
8:19 pm
government says it sought financing to provide a safety net to stabilize the country's fragile economy but in argentina the i.m.f. is often seen as the main culprit for its last economic crisis. the deal marks a turning point for argentina for years argentina shunned the i.m.f. after the economic crisis of two thousand and one two thousand and two many argentines blamed that crisis on austerity measures which the i.m.f. had demanded and they took to the streets again in protest against president. in a go she ations with the fund tina requested i.m.f. assistance early last month after its peso currency we can shop lee in an investor exodus the chairman of the central bank and the finance minister announced the deal on thursday it was. my we've agreed on standby access the amount of fifty billion dollars this is eleven times greater than argentina's quota which is
8:20 pm
reflective of the support of the international community for argentina it's very good news the integration of argentina to the world which allows us to have this level of support. but it means that. if i need to. the agreement will hold the argentine government to its promise to reduce its deficit to two point seven percent this year the government will also send a proposal to congress to reform the central bank charter and strengthen its autonomy to cover me said the country aims to be in surplus by twenty twenty. i'll be back with more business news later in the show to fill and facebook's latest privacy breach. yes that the center of another privacy problem this time involving users privacy settings the social media giant says private post five to fourteen million users were inadvertently made public last month a social media call nostrum can tell us more well call them so what's going on
8:21 pm
another day another scandal with facebook this time facebook says it was a software bug it exposed millions of users private posts to the public and they say it had to do with a tool that's called their audience selector and this really allows you to choose whether you share your post with maybe just your friends or with a wider audience it's something that everyone kind of interacts with every day but you don't usually notice it so here's a refresher of what we're talking about here are these problems originated when you post something on your timeline there's a menu there in the corner you can select who will see it so there's options from only me your friends maybe the public and this glitch caused some users default setting to automatically change to public so that means you know maybe you posted a complaint about your place of employment that you'd never do that i'm sure maybe you posted a photo of your beach vacation and these were maybe meant for your friends or your family they suddenly were broadcast to the entire world you can see the problem there ok so have
8:22 pm
a fix it they fix it facebook says it talks of took about five days but already many of these affected users fourteen million of them are speaking out and they are of course not happy and oh well let's go ahead and take a look this is what facebook actually said that if you want to make sure that you were a defected by this you'll be getting a notification you can see that they are letting people know within your facebook page then you see no vacation right here fill that says please review your audience selection it will have a link of potential content that may have been affected if you can go now to this anger she facebook user you can see what some of these people are saying about the fall out here one user in sri lanka here says it's tragicomic when privacy is not part. if your core design or intent then reversion to type is only to be expected phil we were all watching as zuckerberg sat before congress back in march here's the quote that he told them and he said every piece of content that you share on facebook you own and you have complete control over who sees it and how you share
8:23 pm
it doesn't seem like facebook's quite backing that up we heard recently that they had exposed data to chinese device makers now even the data that we post on our own timelines is not protected so facebook really not backing up that statement so what sort of for is that what they're really trying to rebuild trust that's kind of the big thing facebook is doing now this is obviously not helping here's one facebook user who has lost that trust clearly says if it's something you do not want the world to know you'd be better off not posting it all rather than posting it under privacy settings a data breach and coding bugs and ruined lives ruining lives might sound a bit dramatic but recently in a place like thailand for example one user was sentenced to thirty five years in prison for something that he posted on facebook it was deemed by the government to be against the royal family there so if these sort of private posts are exposed to the public this could have serious consequences for a. phone call thank you so much for good.
8:24 pm
muslims around the world arabs a serving the dawn to dusk fos to which happens during islamic holy month of ramadan but if it is over where the children should take pot divided at least here in germany he only has been to a elementary school most of the children come from muslim families and found that some austrian to others when it comes to the rituals of ramadan. it's lunch time but at this elementary school most of fire and north can't eat or drink water even though it's one of the hottest days all year because they are fasting. and i don't want to victimise my mother week's me up at two in the morning then i'm allowed to the exact time changes there's an extra counter for that and i can get you to three am it's ok to eat at that time then i go back to sleep. and. it's not that bad because i don't get that hungry. most of the children in this
8:25 pm
berlin school come from muslim families not all of them are strict when it comes to obeying the rules of ramadan. and they're not statement in the middle of the night you wake up and eat as much as you can then your stomach stretches because it's full and the next day it constricts and that's bad for your health that's why i think fasting is not a good a view. it happens i fasted at school in the past but my mum told me if it's too hot and the sun is shining brightly then i should stop fasting to start sanctions fast. i only fast on the weekends because if i do it while i'm at school i can't concentrate i fall asleep i. school principal i was told sabina observes that in the last few years an increasing number of very young students take the muslim rule of fasting very seriously can it kind i don't know of any other religious community that considers itself so important that the school has to change its schedule to suit them for me this is a no go religion is something very private. we have religious freedom in germany
8:26 pm
but we can reorganize the school system to enable. the school isn't the berlin district of no it couldn't where a lot of muslims live here opinion on whether children should fast is divided. burns's five if it's voluntary it's fine but if they're forced to do it no you finish was it off on the what if they're convinced and it's ok kids are entitled to an opinion too hard and it would be better for cho's. if they stayed at home during ramadan. in germany staying home is not an option because schooling is mandatory and nor and most if i have to perform the same tasks as their classmates who are not fasting. i don't have any problems with this i'm just there is to sometimes. sacrament my mother always says if i can't go on then it's ok to drink or eat something then i just have to break my fast or slow in the first not. most if is
8:27 pm
lucky he can fast without being put under pressure there are no clear rules in islam concerning at what age children must begin fasting. spaced out the international space station to be precise we have a new crew has arrived here's the moment the german astronaut alexander guest and his colleagues were greeted by astronauts aboard the i access to a close from our staff and family members european space agency delta guest is accompanied by an american and a russian health take command of the i access in a few months five months mission will see the crew carry out the hundreds of experiments that possible. that's the french open wrong get us where the men's final match has been decided austria's dominic house it reads his first current career grand slam final by defeating italian marco can't catch she cannot go in three sets in the men's seventies

8:31 pm
had he's a conviction for war crimes overturned by the international criminal court sean penn babbo was accused of failing to stop these troops from killing and raping people in neighboring the central african republic between two thousand and two and two thousand and three he was sentenced to eighteen years in prison in twenty six states now a judge presiding over his appeal says before the vice president of the d.l.c. cannot be held responsible for the actions of his troops because of his efforts to stop the crimes once he was made aware of them. is the executive director of the international bar association in london welcome to day doubly so jumpy conviction in twenty sixteen that was the first time in i.c.c. history that a trial focused on sexual violence and the responsibility of commanders to prevent it so how significant is this a quest will. well i think it's very significant because as you say
8:32 pm
one of the most important things about this trial had to do with focusing on this command responsibility superior control and so the prosecutor had set her case or set his case because this happened this this case has been going on for ten years and us on this principle that the the accused doesn't have to directly undertake the crimes but as long as that person has effective control and crimes are committed by his subordinates then he can be brought to justice and this whole theory now has broken down with this acquittal so i think it's a serious i think it's a serious back step from this principle that we're going to have to see how it affects future cases because that news had lives a full of what looks like being creased use of right prison weapon of war so one wonders what effect this a crystal is going to have on the ability to bring future offenders to justice. but
8:33 pm
and you're absolutely right but particularly it's offensive because what this theory does is to say if you're in control if you have some superior control over your support means you can be held accountable if you knew or should have known that these atrocities were being committed and now i'm afraid that what this what this decision says is that well the burden on the prosecutor to show that an accused really did know had control has now been weakened and i think it i think this is really going to play some pressure in on future cases and whether or not what they will pursue these cases primarily under this theory of command responsibility and that's what's been weakened i think and that's unfortunate so briefly now as far as i'm here pretty well irrelevant and so full of
8:34 pm
acquittal on all these accounts is it is exactly what has happened and that will be it and so now we're going to have to see i suspect victims are going to be distraught about this trial and of course for the i.c.c. for the for the prosecutor's office i think this is a major defeat and so they're going to have to regroup and decide how do we go forward with these types of cases when we're trying to bring to justice the commanders what they're talking to thank you for joining us dr alice from the international bar association and london. for africa's biggest economy nigeria is eight months away from what's already being described as one of its most fiercely contested elections as president muhammadu buhari seeks another term the seventy five year old came to power in twenty fifteen promising to rid the country of rampant corruption improve security and boost the economy results so far have
8:35 pm
been mixed the boko haram insurgency remains a threat critics say the president has failed to deal with corruption and economic recovery remains fragile after the country fell into recession in twenty sixteen and of course there are those who think they could do better and one of them is former state governor donald duke who's just announced his intention to run he wants to reach out to young nigerians the country has an average age of just eighteen t.w. correspondent andrea krishna's been speaking exclusively to him about his presidential ambitions i think you would be a better president than one hundred because i see some of your failings i see. a leadership steeped in the past that has really refused to evolve with a nation that is predominantly a nation of young aspiring people and feel doing things the way they were many many years ago and it won't work i think leadership in the current it is totally out of
8:36 pm
touch you will occur realities of the nation there's a disconnect somewhere so when you have leadership. it's young people for instance. of not striving and not being lazy it's in disconnect because the tools to make the. shield aspirations have not has not been provided looked at as that of education we had good schools here that can compete with schools anywhere in the world we have one of the best medical facilities in the sixty's and early seventy's or that has got a lot the president of refuse medical treatment abroad that is a sad state of affairs where do you think the major ferals of a current administration president will hurry campaigned for office and to planck's corruption and security now let's take a scorecard corruption is not and persecuting corruption is dealing with symptoms and not the problem the real problem is you've got to create jobs for people you
8:37 pm
gotta pay them adequately you call to strengthen your institutions that make it almost impossible for you to engage in this sort of activity and should you engage in it you're sure that there are consequences i could reduce ledgers problem overall to one work consequences and the lack of it people get away with anything so if you were elected president what would your priorities be about creating jobs jobs jobs you know how can you do that i mean that's what every a political of the book that kind of look at the two items two simple items first of all your car. grow your economy with that type of banking system that you run whether interest rate regime is opportunities you need to have affordable credit. the second thing is this you've got to grow this economy or at least think percent annually for ten
8:38 pm
years to recalibrate the system niger or to be a two point five trillion dollar economy another three hundred million dollars billion dollar kind of. here you are flaring about two to two point five billion cubic feet of gusty and we've done thirty years that's equivalent to about twenty five million liters of diesel that we are on a daily basis now or do is clean up their gas have a network and throughout the length and breadth of this country and make it available to industry that would catalyze growth in their country that would create jobs for folks that would pay itself back because your return that's where we turn when much higher than it is today a report from adam that creation joins us from the nigeria's commercial time from lagos he's joins us on the line i think i welcome address so corruption and creating more jobs those are likely to be the big issues in next year's election
8:39 pm
definitely fill the low old prize of course you know that brought an economic crisis to nigeria because oil is still by far the most important export of the country and bad effect at the entire economy and of course also employment you have thousands of graduates who are coming from universities who are frustrated and response to the economic crisis has not been considered very effective if you corruption however it is a big topic for poor area but with a leg off any high school convictions it is also likely that other candidates like donald will check on that issue so what sort of support does donald you have what are his chances. well duke is a member of the major opposition party the p.d.p. but he's also a member of a new movement called coalition for nigeria he did not want to disclose however under which group b. aims to run both groups haven't officially endorsed a candidate yet it seems this still
8:40 pm
a lot of negotiations happening in the background but duke is widely seen as someone who performs pretty well as a governor in his own state fights he's not been a big play on the national political level yet he's from the southeast of the country relatedly low populated and the question will be can he get support from the higher populated north of the southwest reason regions of nigeria regional aspects and it's nicety yes still playing a really large role in the elections here and the next points that is very important for him to succeed would also be to get the support of veteran political kingmakers how they're called yes very influential people with a huge follower base a lot of power in their respect as regions and it's widely regarded that those are the people who decide in the end of the day will run for the big for the big parties present bihari says he's going to stand again seventy five in his house has raised questions is he offering anything different this time or has yet to announce what you really want to change for for the next term but he didn't it that he needs
8:41 pm
more time to follow up on his old election promises this week equines fighting corruption creating jobs and of course increased security and on all these areas there's a lot of room for improvement i drink crease in the lego's thank you. in july the eighteenth. of nelson mandela one of the world's greatest statesman he's immortalized as a symbol of south africa's fight against apartheid but five years after his death what's his legacy and how do young africans remember him has been asking or. my main we don't. know. my dream isn't going to. maybe say beggs saif i'm. sorry i'm back to you i'm from monrovia liberia. her.

8:43 pm
a good leader one day look to me is just a little to follow the. money and. then. i'll challenge. for the next generation of african leaders. like. everything we do about the continent we still play people and. part of what we do. and you can join in the conversation on africa africa's facebook page on facebook dot com for was laugh d.w. africa it's that easy this is data you're still to come. the european journalism prize is honest reporting on integration and cultural diversity the civis awards ones out last night and. robin merrill bring you the details.
8:44 pm
of south africa where a collective fashion forward this is challenging stereotypes about life in the country's townships the group called khumbu hails from alexandra in johannesburg and they say that about much more than consumerism and design a bronze. fashion victims watch out casual was yesterday down the is back at least here in alexandria the street style collective coombe brings to oldest township. with dignity not a not just a to speak we basically just challenging that because they want being at the now because i'll be sitting up in the front of the street smoking weed getting drunk. and we working i mean making a name for ourselves this is our story and we'll tell it like you do. and means to remember that's why you won't find the same addresses in the repertoire of the
8:45 pm
stylish youngsters instead of secondhand clothes and even sometimes the. best dresses present for many as the fashion is also a critique of society that's why they decided to bring that down the style to the township of course nobody would expected that it's more about getting creative than just spending money. growing up i used to want more expensive things but now it's it's not a hard expensive your comment as it's all about hard pulls and hard to do so i could get something from any and just make it look original to me because with expensive stuff it's all a profession it's not a plus. but like for every fashion victim there's always a need for new inspiration the coolest find them at various flea markets stores. just the. greed greed and i think it was all ready this is why we were like this
