topics for the music magazine w. this is data from another couple of poisoned deadly nerve agents on british soil police say the man and woman are in a critical condition after being exposed to not be chocked and that they may have come into contact with remnants of the greens attack on a former russian spy in the same area also on the program. they've been at odds over migration for years but now german chancellor and i'm not calling them hunger is prime minister viktor orban to baka. asylum we'll bring you the latest from those talks in bali. and of the world cup when it was based on crazy facts of

course brazil would have to be ice just. helping to lead that same look ahead sir tomorrow's first a quarter final match ups both south americans have versus european school. i'm for welcome to the program. police in britain has confirmed that two people who fell critically ill near the city of souls were poisoned by a nerve agent from the not be chopped family this is the second time the area has been at the center of another truck poisoning incident in march a former russian spy and his daughter were attacked at their home just thirteen kilometers from where it's thought the latest victims came into contact with the substance health minister says this second poisoning looks like an unfortunate after effect of the first the investigation is being led by counterterrorism police

. this is the british couple at the center of a new mystery surrounding an english town charlie rose lee and dawn sturgis were exposed to the nerve agent novacek the couple are in a critical condition at salisbury hospital it's the same clinic that treated former russian spy sergei scruple and his daughter yulia after they were nearly killed by the same nerve agent britain blamed that attack firmly on russia today the u.k. must go to cooperate in the police investigation the eyes of the world are currently on russia not least because of the world cup. it is now time that the russian state comes forward and explains exactly what has gone on here. prime minister to reason may has been holding talks with angela merkel in berlin said her thoughts were with the victims to see two more people exposed to the north the chalk in the u.k. is obviously deeply disturbing and the police i know will be leaving no stone

unturned in their investigation in relation to what has happened. charlie rose lee and dawn sturgis which taken ill at their home in ames bring on saturday after visiting salisbury the previous day a friend of the couple was with rowley when he began displaying symptoms start at. britain's. detectives are now investigating how the couple came into contact with a nerve agent they say there's nothing in the pair's background to suggest that they would have been deliberately targeted police have cordoned off places the couple have been before falling ill including a church community center the british government is urging members of the public who visited any of these areas recently to wash their clothes and wipe down any

personal items as a precaution. to mass in london so it doesn't look like a. spice and what more do we know about. we don't know very much just that they lived nearby salisbury that there were a couple the woman is described as a mother we know from what from what is in the public domain right now is that they have no connection to the scruples whatsoever so they must have come across somehow this now of age and unsuspicious they would not have suspected what happened to them they must of somehow come across if the speculation is that maybe in salisbury in the park but of course this is what the police is going to determine just now. the last poisoning of the script russia was blamed for that russia denied its of

course and now again the fingers being pointed at moscow russia of course enjoying great press coverage at the moment with his hosting of the world cup is this latest apparent attack likely to escalate tensions between moscow and the west well for sure in the u.k. the relations with russia really have hit rock bottom since this case and we've also seen today i mean this is the members of the reason mace cabinet hitting at russia the security team in this challenging russia to actually come forward and to help clear out the case and to help the author and tease find the nerve agent if there is anything left basically i think this is what he meant when we when he challenge russia to to come forward and say these were fairly polite words but if this is devilish is that there is a greater security risk in the u.k. because of russia's actions then maybe these words will not stay that polite but we could see see an escalation of the tension between certainly the u.k.

and russia. and souls brave the city where this happened did find itself at the center of a second poisoning incident when isabel recovered from the first i want people that this. well yes and it's such a sleepy little town in england people are not expecting to be subjected to dangerous like this they don't have to expect anything like that and the authorities say that they were very thorough with the cleanup from this creep paula case that they determined where the screen folks went and that they really cleaned up all the oldest places but of course they don't know yet who the perpetrator was and they have not established their whereabouts and where where these two have a trace and where of course they have left in the lead the left over not reach out for example say for the people and solve very the the worry is far from over i would say look at mass in london thank you

germany's chancellor and hungary's prime minister have traded accusations of migration policy of talks here and then i'm going to be met with vick to oban as part of france to win support for how tough a new migration policy despite germany's new stricter proposals that chancellor merkel said she wants to protect europe's humanity is to him and believes the german presence don't go far enough. as an garrion prime minister viktor orban arrived in berlin one thing was clear he was not here just to agree with germany on the contrary is a critique of german chancellor migration policy he wants to turn back most to sign him seekers at europe's external borders and is also strictly against distributing them within the e.u. . because only what i would like to inform you that the young gary and border is guarded by eight thousand armed troops twenty four hours a day. keeps migrants from coming to germany if it weren't guarded four

to five thousand would cross the border every day about that solidarity. solidarity movement. as i said i mean they get me going to get a saudi dutch sent them. as quickly became very clear there's very little common ground between markel and when it comes to refugees. this is about people who come to us that involves europe's fundamental message humanity we need to protect our external borders with the goal of simply shutting out the world. and none the less the chancellor needs or wants help in fact she needs all the support she can get within the european union to maintain the current asylum system it's an e.u. principle that the country in which

a refugee has been registered is responsible for the sign of process most refugees should stay in spain italy or greece by their first reach european soil but many try to get further north through germany crossing through all still hungry and these countries fear that germany could just reject migrants at the border german interior minister whole see all far cry to allay those fears this thursday when he visited the austrian cup. vienna he's trying to perswade austria to take back migrants rejected by germany vienna is very reluctant to do this so the whole far left empty handed two visits and no results refugee policy remains angela merkel's most difficult challenge. let's get more from d.w. political correspondent thomas spiral welcome thomas the chancellor merkel seems to need hunger support more than they need or want. what can she offer them. phil what i'm going to call one such an easy level is other leaders who can think

in a similar way and who can act in a similar way. and that's something that she will certainly not find in victoria when in fact she knew that right before this meeting that was absolutely evident when they met today in berlin and they see the migration issue in germany in that direction in which europe should go in a very different way so it's certainly very difficult for i'm going to try and find any type of common ground with all but at least some people have been saying that they met and tried to discuss the issue something that hadn't happened in the past so often so at least are seen by many people here as a as a positive development but again what was really evident today was that i'm going to merkel and viktor orban see the migration issue in an absolutely radically different way because. the other part of this mission impossible was germany's interior minister in vienna reasoning with the courts did he get it own any better germany and austria have also had problems when it comes to migration in the past

and in fact also importations mentioned that they were rather skeptical about the agreements between horse a whole thought but at least from wholesale was meeting today there was at least that goal that they wanted to work together on an issue that issue is as they describe it trying to shut the southern migration route so there will be a meeting next week and only between germany and austria but also including italy so at least from that perspective there was an evident goal to try and work together when it comes to this idea of shutting the borders whether that's something that other politicians in europe will agree on that is still absolutely unclear thomas farah thank you. niger some of the other stories making news around the world syrian and russian forces have resumed asterix and shelling against rebel held areas in southwest syria the u.n. estimates that more than three hundred thousand people have fled the fighting in da province meanwhile syrian rebel negotiators and russian and russian military commanders are reported to have resumed negotiations on a final deal to end the fighting in the province controlled back to the government

. forty nine people have been reported missing in thailand after two boats capsized in rough waters off the tourist. eighty people have so far been rescued in efforts to find the missing are continuing. u.s. secretary of state mike pompei oh is on his way to pyongyang for talks with north korea's leader kim jong un denuclearization of the korean peninsula will be top of the agenda at that meeting on friday was to pump air and travel on to tokyo to brief his japanese on south korean counterparts. this is d.w. news live from berlin still to come the complex and dangerous escape plan being put in place for the tyee cave children can all thorgils free them from their flooded chamber before monsoon rains make a rescue in the possible. benefits of an is here now with venues apparently again we are just hours from

a full blown trade war but they say we have said quite a few times yes the countdown is ticking but the deadline still it's friday and then those tariffs come in and leaders scrambling the threats of immediate retaliation still on the table the leaders in europe china and the u.s. all in showing to keep open the door to negotiations the question is will it be enough to hold this dispute from damaging billions of dollars in business. u.s. tariffs on chinese goods go into effect on friday. the twenty five percent levy will apply to a host of technological products the value of the measures thirty four billion dollars china's response a range of tariffs on american goods also worth thirty four billion dollars also from friday and this could only be the beginning washington as a ready threatening further action prompting china to accuse the us of fueling a trade war. move on to your notion that the

us has again threatened to impose new tariffs on the five hundred billion us dollars worth of chinese products. not only that it's also made this kind of threat to other countries and regions. far smaller leaks of the issue and further escalation could have profound effects european companies operating in china fear they could end up on the front lines of the trade battle. and there are also concerns that the dispute could slow global growth. let's look at the damage bill with enough that a correspondent in frankfurt conrad this trade war isn't even in full swing but we're already seeing companies shifting production altering their supply chains bring us up to date on the damage. well you know mostly in companies they are still in the thinking and planning process when it comes to

shifting supply chains and production from one country to another as in many cases it's very complex and expensive to do that the shifting of supply has changed already in parts of the business world where it's relatively easy for example china completely has stopped buying soybeans in the united states and at the same time the purchases from china in brazil have increased thirty percent in may what i can tell you is that all this already has cost many companies a lot of money because. even the thinking and planning is costly and needs resources and the prices of many commodities and other stuff that companies need to produce more complex products have already risen in anticipation of the terrorists and then their market value i mean we've seen trillions wiped off global equity markets the traders bracing for more of that absolutely the potential

is there that this will continue to weigh on the equity markets on the stock markets just as investors are easily ready to be happy about every side of you know hope and confidence today here in frankfurt the carmakers shares were skyrocketing due to reports that the american ambassador to germany has talked to the bosses of the car maker about potentially slashing all tariffs on cars obviously investors are desperate for signs of talk and tension cooperation between at least the europeans and the united states you know let's see what those orders is the american revolution first branford thank you very much. now the germans are trying to beat the chinese at their own game mass production is moving back here and i'm not talking about your regular sweat shops with cheap labor it's the robots doing the work. it looks like just another regular smartphone and doesn't post any

state of the art frills that's reflected in the price tag of google sets g.s. one eight five model a comparatively modest one hundred seventy nine euros. the munich based manufacturer has a high degree of automation which more than compensates for the high labor costs in germany. for smartphone makers in asia largely rely on manual production and we've managed to establish a major cost advantage by having seventy percent of production robots there like recession cost enables us to deliver a low cost product cost. so far the company has one domestic production line in the western german town of behold the facility assembles up to six thousand smartphones a week thanks to industry four point zero humans and robots work side by side here an option that was not available ten years ago. as long letters and i think almost

made it working with the robots initially took some getting used to but then you discover what a big help they are just it's an end to this in all that's what isn't a robot is putting together the phone you can get to work on another activity. that i know. there's another benefit from automation a low rate of production line rejects. that also makes smartphones in asia but production their season around ten percent of devices exhibiting defects in germany is just two percent. thus there those two accredited affordable we prioritize quality and delivery times. if you order us month from from asia today it will take around four to six months to arrive. we want to cut that to four weeks. for us market accessibility is the biggest challenge. that's the. biggest set factory in hopes to trump facilities in asia in terms of turnaround time not just

on the production front but above all when it comes to special customer requirements. are the skiff lunch by how everything from a memory expansion into specialized software on part of bundles featuring items like bluetooth speakers to these i must design related aspects such as color scheme or laser gravy on the article that looks for a bunch number one we want to offer customers the chance to have their name and lays it on to the device. the g.s. one eight five marks a major step forward to get set the entry level smartphone will be the first to be made in germany and if it proves successful it will surely not be the last. and has to come back to the trade attention some analysts say trumps tariff strategy is just going to force other parts of the world to work together more closely in a win for trade relations between two rival asian nations officials have reopened the final stretch of the railway between cambodia's capital phnom penh and its border with thai that. a train from cambodia's northern border with thailand

arrives in phnom penh it's the first one in forty five years much of cambodia's rail network was damaged during the country's civil war including this forty eight kilometer stretch near the border town of point that the reopened track represents nearly eighty percent of cambodia's total railways a little over six hundred kilometers in all the rest of the link to phnom penh had long been suspended due to the poor condition of the track in two thousand and nine the asian development bank provided thirteen million dollars to rebuild the missing link which aims to travel time between the two countries and boost trade trade between cambodia and thailand reached five and a half billion dollars last year up ten percent from the year before the two nations have pledged to triple that number by twenty twenty but the two countries still have to reach an agreement on trains crossing the border. now the latest on

those kids trapped underground. officials are warning that rescue workers face a brace against water to save this young football team who spent twelve nights trapped inside a flooded cave system what is being pumped out around the clock reducing the flood level. but heavy rains are forecast and that could jeopardize the complex rescue operation. under the most extraordinarily difficult and hazardous conditions volunteers pick and swim their way through this fast cave complex. it's back breaking work but they do all they can to try to clear a way through. deep inside the twelve boys and their football coach have been trapped for almost two weeks getting them out safely though is proving an enormous challenge and with further rain expected the risk of more flooding is high.

our biggest concern is the weather will have to assess if there will be more rainfall that could cause the water level to rise inside we're calculating how much time we have it rains how many hours and days. the boys are trapped about four kilometers from the cave entrance which is cut off by water one option would be to wait until the water recede so they can leave on foot but that could take months. teaching the boys to dive could be the fastest solution but perhaps the most dangerous and it's not clear if they can swim. rescuers are also looking for a place to drill into the chamber but that would be long and complicated. in the meantime water continues to be pumped out of the cave this nearby farmland has been flooded because of the rescue operation but the local farmers say it's a price worth paying anything to help the boys. outside the cave a makeshift camp has been set up where rescue teams into fishes gather. and

inside to dozens are on hand to help saving these boys has become a twenty four hour operation and a race against time. so world cup quarter finals are just around. the quote i got expelled from date of us forces here to preview the first two matches which kick off tomorrow welcome getting a start with france against ordered wire which is first how do you see that going so this game looks to be a clash of different stalls whereas your go are quite organized and very solid in defense france is somewhat disorganized and but they have this potential attack that really could hurt your goal i do expect this to be a bit of a cagey game i think france coach didier the seans doesn't really know his best formation he doesn't know his best attacking line up and i think that's holding the team back which is why i say the economy but i do have special players which could

hurt your goal and that makes them the favorites your boy on the other hand and to bear as really have punch above their weight in recent years that's a country of only three million people so for them to be at this stage is quite amazing to be honest they are built on strong defense but they also hold their own in attack with their front to lose suarez and edison cavani and that balance makes them very dangerous as coach dia de shawn pointed out in his press conference earlier today. they are very effective in defense but they also know how to attack and they are very good with their counters. they switch from defense to attack with direct start of play that is truly admirable. so it sounds like a tight game who's likely to make the difference so usually for your goal i would say addison cavani i think is one of the most underrated strikers in the world but it looks like you missed the game at best sit on the bench because of injury but

france have a few who could make the difference but from a i think play is the one here he's only nineteen years old but he scored two goals against argentina in a ten testing performance and it shows he can handle the spotlight if he gets the ball in the right positions i really think you can hurt your boy and here's what captain hugo lloris had to say about his young a mate. the whole world saw him showing in the game against argentina but he is very focused he stays true to his style and he still wants to enjoy himself together with his team mates. so tomorrow's other nazis the favorites brazil up against belgium compass will handle the pressure after so many other favorites of dropped out yeah this is the big question isn't it as you said we've already seen germany and spain pack their bags and leave russia after you know many people tipped them for the title but i think brazil offer something different we have that classical brazilian flair in attack from name. and continue but this brazil side

also a very solid in defense. of on the conceded one goal and that's just something we can't say about previous brazilian teens naima is the key in attack that's for sure but he's also ok in defense which his coach teach a highlighted early today. with it's not just with the ball and not just dribbling yes there are moves and defensive transitions if you look you'll see how much he's been participating on the group that use. so what about to belgium can they stop and. shine him yeah i think it might be a bit more of the lead he had belgium have conceded twice. and keeping wraps on name might be a bit tough for them but that means their attack is k. . twelve eight and their captain may every time he gets the ball he looks

dangerous and then you have romelu lukaku this truck has already scored full so if there's one chain to break down this brazilian defense it has to be belgium surely but either way i say this game will i say this game is gonna be a few goals in this game and it should be a cracking match so between those two. and belgium brazil you few you see the belgium brazil match of being the more exciting yes. thank you so much that sets you all up to date we'll have more. in the meantime as always the website dot com himself a good. one .
