is with save the children mr shahar you have teams on the ground in the port city can you tell us more about the current situation. well the situation in a for their city is very worrying because many people are threatened to lose their lives many people are worried two were to lose their source of sources of income it's very critical and there there is a contingency around the city for i in goes our our stuff with several children are trying to to respond to the crisis that is happening there we have expanded our operations in the ground. we've we've distributed nutrition and medicines nutritious supplies and with this and still health facilities which is enough for three months in preparation for any catastrophe we also increase the

coverage of first ponds we increased also the. the number of the volunteers around the city we did use to nonessential activities in order to respond to the human toll you increases we are providing treatment to children who might might be victimized by by the conflict by air strikes or shelling or whatsoever so so much of that is working in the ground despite the difficulties and we cannot just respond to the him him and tell you need without the world listening to us that this is causing a major humanitarian catastrophe this is the harder you mentioned the work they organization is doing ahead of a potential catastrophe how does this attack on the port city impact the already dire humanitarian situation on the ground. well how did the city was one of our largest responses in the city because this governor towers a lot of people and we have for example personally whenever i went to her they die

i saw a lot of children who are malnourished and their reps are just out and that is really hungry and that was the situation before this offense of. now what's happening is that the city is going to have. to be worse for example. is is is the largest. port in the country seventy percent of the incomes in the country are come through today the. port and now if it's closed that's going to argue evade the problem. and a lot of people will lose their jobs or the people will lose their farm farms etc i one of the things that people are reliant on in for there is the fishery and they cannot now go to the sea to fish and get food for the and this is the problem now i've called family last night and they told me that they heard the bombing they were hearing the bombings and they were they were they were afraid and there were

news that if they get up their houses they get a truck by by by either party in the in the front lines situation that is extremely difficult and people can barely. provide to provide food for their children and now that was in the past they can't they could not provide food for their children but now that they cannot even go out of their houses for example experts and hours of the day and as shari with save the children thank you very much. thank you north korea has praised the summit between kim jong un and as a resoundingly success the north state media framed choose day summit as a win for pyongyang as a list of the concessions made by president trump including his pledge to end joint u.s. south korea military exercises critics are pointing to the lack of detail in the agreement signed by both leaders and that it contains no mention of washington's demand for a complete verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of the north. three weapons

we never even discussed the other in an interview with the a.b.c. news network following the talks in singapore u.s. presidents donald trump said it was a big day for the world he also announced that he will freeze military war games with south korea and i'm doing something that i wanted to do from the beginning we stop playing those war games to cost us a fortune you know we're spending a fortune every number of months we're doing war games with south korea and i said what is costing we're flying planes in from warm and we're bombing empty mountains for practice and i said i want to stop that i will stop that and i think it's very provocative especially george since we're getting along i don't know what's what we're all in process of signing something skills you talk about pulling troops out u.s. troops. but we're not going to play the war games. the north has longer protected the drills calling them a security threat in the first reaction since the talks pyongyang's official state

news agency released a statement saying that it was urgent for north korea and the u.s. to halt irritating and hostile military actions against each other. trump has agreed on a step by step denuclearization process by the north in return for u.s. concessions north korea may have pledged to dismantle its nuclear arsenal the questions still remain as to how and when this will be achieved and verified. north korea's state media also confirmed the champ and cam have both accepted mutual invitations to visit washington and pyongyang. to discuss this further let's bring in correspondent jason strother who's in seoul jason good to see you north korea's reaction to the summit appears to have causing confusion over

the issue of sanctions hasn't it. absolutely a statement dispatched today by the north's official news agency the case c.n.a. says that president trump pledged to lift sanctions against the regime that runs somewhat contrary to what president trump said yesterday during his post some a press conference when asked about sanctions he said that while he'd like to lift the sanctions for now they're staying put until there is some progress made in denuclearizing north korea it's unclear if this was a bargaining chip that president trump said you know off the cuff with kim jong un perhaps a misinterpretation a the perhaps the intentions were misrepresented but again this reflects the fact that this was a very watered down very vague declaration the two leaders signed which could have made matters like this more clear what wasn't vague was trump's concession to

suspend joint military drills with south korea that appears to have caught u.s. military officials and the south korean government off guard how did this announcement that he made yesterday go down in seoul. right there seems have been no prior warning that trump was going to use this as leverage to negotiate with kim jong un. the south korean government just held a press conference earlier today saying that. seoul is still curious about what president trump's intentions actually are to call off these annual exercises but a spokesperson for president moon j.n. indicated that as long as talks are underway with north korea over its nuclear weapons program then the allies need to take into consideration different ways to keep that dialogue going so perhaps seoul is somewhat on board with calling off

these exercises and we would also like to know souls' opinion on something else trump has left open the possibility of bringing u.s. troops that are stationed in south korea back home what has their reaction been installed where you are. right well this is something that president trump said ever since he was on the campaign trail that he'd like to bring back the twenty eight and a half thousand american soldiers that serve here in south korea that has a from the start that alarmed many people here in south korea but let's say on the on the street level south koreans have mixed feelings to the u.s. military you have older generations that remember american soldiers here fighting alongside south korean forces to repel north korean and chinese military forces but for younger generations here many people view the u.s. military as sort of an occupying force and there are some that would not mind

seeing u.s. soldiers go home jason strother in seoul thank you thank you. now to some of the other stories making news around the world one month after the iraqi election she act cleric mark that i'll save are an iranian backed militia chief mary have agreed to form a political alliance the decision comes after weeks of negotiations they were first and second in the may boat that was marred by historically low voter turnout and fraud allegations on. a boat carrying more than nine hundred migrants has docked in a sicilian port in italy after being rescued by e.u. naval mission the arrival comes days after italy closed its ports to a separate boat with several hundred migrants rescued by an aid group that move has stirred fresh debate about e.u. refugee policies. gratian policies were also the focus of talks between

german chancellor angela merkel and her austrian counterparts the boston courts and berlin says he'll prioritize strengthening e.u. borders when vienna takes over the blocs rotating presidency on july first their home in wa is under pressure over divisions within our conservative bloc over germany's migration policy. now the electric car maker tesla is to slash thousands of jobs earhart that's right in an e-mail to start off c.e.o. elon musk says the layoffs when necessary for the company to become profitable the cuts which will see nine percent of workers lose the jobs come as the company grapples to address a number of problems including the posture of serious stuff and crashes and valving that cause most says the production of those mobile three sit down won't be affected. now let's bring in our financial correspondents now them a loan from the frankfurt stock exchange actually no from a tesla shop as i can see. in downtown franks but general want to be hard

to meet those already still production targets for the model three with the even smaller star. well he did say that tough i was only going to let go of salaried employees and not the workers that working along the production assembly line won't be affected by the cuts which is good because those production targets are very ambitious indeed he aims to make five thousand of those mass market model three sedans a week up by the end of this month so it's definitely crunch time it's also worth pointing out a long mosque recruitment won't be frozen and that is still looking to recruit top talent especially in production which is something about eleven months is going to need especially given this turn over the company's highest ranks at least ten senior level executives have left in the last half year or so and they were working on areas like battery tech like field performance engineering and incidentally

finance so this is going to be a gap that has to close. it's you know tesla hasn't made a profit in fifteen years so why stop now and how much really know. indeed he hasn't been really acting in a way that's been very conscious of the bottom line he's burned billions of dollars trying to upscale the production of the model three this year also marked as worst ever quarterly loss that seven hundred million dollars so obviously at some point reality was going to catch up with tesla now this is a company that has shareholders that would push for efficiency including the give the deletion of the duplication of roles which is one of the aims of this restructure and it's worth pointing out about tests that iran must compel said about his overarching aim of ensuring the world transitions to more sustainable energy would be achievable if his company itself is not sustainable it's not

a villain and science at their thank you a federal judge in the us has ruled that telecoms giant a t. and t. can buy media conglomerate time warner for eighty five billion dollars the decision came after a six week trost trial and represents a major shake up in the global media industry the government argued the deal was illegal because it would give a t.n.t. the power to withhold channels like h.b.o. with popular series like game of thrones and to c.n.n. from smaller rivals the deal will allow it to compete with internet companies that dominate digital advertising germany's cbot digital trade fair used to be the world's biggest trade show of its kind but visit numbers half fold from what they were in the heyday of the dot com boom no organizers of trying to revive the brand they moved the date from chile march to summary june and want to make it feel more like

a cool stocks have system all stale traits that. surf's up at cbot the standing wave is definitely the main attraction and anyone who wants to can hop on a board and have a go this is how chip maker intel is trying to draw attention to its foray into out official intelligence the whole thing is broadcast via three hundred sixty degree camera and the surface can be viewed with virtual reality technology even laden domenech the visitors can have a real time window into the surfing experience with a three hundred sixty degree field of vision out official intelligence is what's behind it software that can recognize which image data can be compressed and which is necessary for quality in an efficient video stream. it's all part of a new groundswell at sea but to try to attract a younger public. here a robot serves juices mixed from six different ingredients and tailored to each customer's wish. the startup behind the idea wants to demonstrate how one can

organize a distribution chain using block chain technology. advantages actually that there's no middleman that means that there's no uncertainty in the supply chain anymore the process has been largely digitalized through block chain technology. but there's also an analog component here food trucks and deck chairs have added a relaxed vibe to see bit but how's the fares reincarnation being received among the visiting public. i really like it i enjoy it there's a lot of places we can go there's a lot of new technologies and everything is really special to me something i i actually hoped for a bit more i find it a bit boring it feels like the old c bit but just with a ferris wheel and feel i'm luckier in many impressions affecting us today but in any case we plan to come again we've just discovered the fun part and we still have

a bit to see. but the real fun begins in the evening when bands like compressor heads rock the stage. roll robots and all seabirds is going on for another two days. the meeting between north korean leader kim young and us president donald trump has raised hopes of an economic opening in the isolated country in one sense that's already been happening semi illegal markets have developed after as many as three million people stopped to death in the ninety's these markets are now tolerated by the regime that come provide for its own people. images secretly smuggled out of north korea by the news portal daily n.k. the pictures show a bustling market with a wide range of goods in chongqing

a city in the country's northeast. many products here come from china. reportedly crying beg works for the news outlet which is based in the south korean capital seoul he says markets like this developed after the famine of the one nine hundred ninety s. when north korea's state supply chain collapsed. markets like this a fueling social change in the communist regime. to the point where the lives of our informants have also improved and not just because of the money we pay them private enterprise has increased purchasing power in fact these markets are no longer black markets and the north korean government generally tolerates them it's a big change from the past. the totalitarian regime is bowing to the profit schemes of its people because it can no longer provide for them itself as a result once empty roads and now are full of transport trucks buses and taxis.

lars and heads the office of germany's fleet wish nauman foundation in seoul three times a year he works on projects in the north he says the progress being made is obvious . there are more consumer goods including cars and mobile phones as well as individual eyes clothing styles. from inside pyongyang there are numerous foreign cars it's incredible you can find brands from japan which is still considered an arch enemy despite that no one seems to have a problem with japanese luxury cars and products. a strong sign of the changing times smile fades millions have allegedly been brought into north korea through smuggling operations especially across the border from china.

here we can communicate with people in north korea via chinese mobile networks we receive voice mails and videos and go but this only works along the border in a swath about four to six kilometers wide kind of. overall though these goods don't change the reality of life in north korea it remains one of the world's poorest countries. business. thank you your hard the german parliament could approve a major contract with an israeli company today to lease germany's first wait but weapons capable combat drone the issue is a highly controversial one for germany although u.s. forces have been using them for years many here are skeptical of the weapons as legitimate instruments of war on counterterrorism operations and see them as a violation of international law. these are the drones that the german military

could soon be sending into battle the only plans to use the heron tepee for reconnaissance but it is possible to fit the machines with lethal weaponry the bundeswehr has used small on before to deliver aerial images in mali and afghanistan. but what happens if these images show german soldiers being attacked on the ground older content gauge an enemy and it takes time for aerial support to arrive at the battlefield. now try to imagine these drones were also able to attack an approaching enemy this process could happen more quickly. with the hair and could kill attacking troops instantly this is how germany's american allies use them but critics say combat drones idea. we have learned from experience that sometimes they cannot interpret the images they are seeing

civilians are hit by accident very often people who should not be in the line of fire all parties in the government calling for a debate including on where the drone pilots find it easier to kill because they're further away from the actual war zone. some people raise ethical objections saying that the inhibitions against killing are reduced but others say that a helicopter or fighter pilot has even less time to decide whether to press the button they have to act much more quickly than someone who's watching a computer screen at a safe distance. the opposition green party fears war will become dehumanised the next step is autonomous weapon systems that is weapons where computers support the decisions or approve the decisions that step is not a large one and that's why international law must be developed to keep pace. but the army doesn't want to lose pace with all the cars. trees advancing weapons technology whether it will be allowed to use drones and combat is now up to

parliament to decide. this year's world cup isn't underway quite yet but a few members are set to vote today on who will host the twenty twenty six tournament morocco is up against a joint bid from the united states canada and mexico the african nation has great support from its neighbors but the north american bit is the favorite and could make a huge profit. teams from forty eight countries squaring off in eighty games who can host the new jumbo world cup in two thousand and twenty six the usa says it's more than ready along with neighbors mexico and canada the u.s. would host three quarters of the matches in the tournament though with its wealth of state of the art stadiums and dense infrastructure building costs would be low prospects for profits high some fifteen billion dollars by one estimate fifa

officials love the idea. but among some mexican fans the bid is a loser. that's what nobody gets by that i mean we both you know work up together and then they try to separate the credible or. there is another candidate maraca it has a completely different plan in mind the north african country is about the size of the u.s. state of california presenting much shorter distances between venues than upin north american bid existing stadiums would be renovated new grounds built using sustainable modular construction fourteen billion dollars is the proposed price tag a bill that the government is ready to help foot. football flows like blood through our veins among the young and the old is all for with. morocco's bid seems like a long shot for good reason social inequality is massive the state is deep in debt

and infrastructure is poor despite plenty of construction signs fever's evaluation of the bid was much lower than its rival but morocco may have an ace in the hole donald trump the us president has alienated big partners mexico and canada and his travel ban could stand in the way of some countries teams participating in the turnout he even threatened countries that failed to vote for the north american bid with. consequences the nations of the african confederation have taken the hint in their own way. nearly all fifty four of them say they plan to vote for morocco. the underdog bid may also find some support in asia where china leads a bloc of countries said to be ready to cast their vote for morocco some european countries may join them still getting to the magic one hundred four votes will be tough. no matter what the two bids will be fighting for every vote until the last

possible minute flemmi putin has called him ex fifa president sepp blatter who is expected to lobby for morocco and against the u.s. . current president johnny infantino meanwhile believes the north american bid is the one to take fifo into the future. so in our mind of the top story we're following for you aid groups are warning an attack on yemen's name port city up a data i thousand back troops risk massive civilian casualties and will cut off aid to millions the attack could be a turning point in yemen's three year civil war and watch the news from berlin war coming up at the top of the hour i have it quite often thanks for joining us.
