from a flooded cave in thailand the divers and doctor who stayed with the boys have now also been brought safely on dry land about ambulances route the last of the boys and their coach to a hospital in the city of chiang rai a short time ago there were sleeping medical care but are said to be in good condition the boys are aged between eleven and sixteen a years old spent over two weeks deep inside the cave living a nightmare after water sealed off their we're turning our route last week a diver unfortunately lost his life in the cave while making preparations for the perilous rescue operation wish has been brought to a successful conclusion now what the governor of chiang rai province has a coup was clearly a please understandably please with the success of this extremely difficult rescue

. no one thought we could do it but we did it it was a first for the world thanks to the thai people government agencies and the private sector. our as well now are to some of the other stories making news around the world. the death toll has now risen to one hundred fifty six people in japan due to flooding and landslides caused by last week's tarantula rains as waters begin to recede more than seventy thousand rescue workers have been deployed in search of victims and survivors in the western parts of japan it's one of japan's worst weather related disasters in decades. u.s. president almost child has nominated conservative judge brett kavanaugh to fill the vacancy on the supreme court if confirmed the fifty three year old catholic is expected to be less receptive to abortion and gay rights than his predecessor the

nomination sets up a confirmation battle with democrats is trying to shift the nation's highest court further to the right for the. prime minister to resign may has met with her new a look cabinet maybe was forced to reshuffle her top team after foreign minister boris johnson and briggs that negotiator david davis both quit throwing the government into turmoil they resigned in protest over prime minister may's handling of bragg's that negotiations. the widow of the chinese nobel peace prize laureates liu xiaobo has left china to start a new life in berlin while she arrived in the german capital just a short time ago usual had been kept under near total house arrest without formal charges since twenty ten when her husband was awarded the prestigious prize as calls for democracy vexed beijing. she's finally free.

the widow of nobel peace prize laureate new trouble. for years she longed to leave china and live in exile. but she was confined to this suburban compound under house arrest cut off from the world as if she were a criminal. but lucero never actually broke the law her only crime was being married to lou job or the late civil rights activist china labeled him a criminal because he advocated democratic change in china. he was already in prison when he won the nobel peace prize in two thousand and ten he was never released this empty chair at the award ceremony in. china's refusal to free him or even his wife. beijing viewed lucero as an accomplice and put her under house arrest for eight years she lived under constant observation to shave her head in protests he suffered from depression. the strain

was evident when western journalists mohnish to visit her in two thousand and twelve. but suddenly i never expected him to win the nobel peace prize and i can't leave the house it's absolutely absurd to even kafka couldn't have written this with any one simple to his full time but i would say. only at the very end ever as bones life was she allowed to visit him in a hospital he was in the final stages of liver cancer she remained with him to the end then attended the state's hastily organized let's see. from the beginning germany pushed for luke child to be allowed to leave china but even after her husband's death beijing said she would be prosecuted under chinese law. when judy if we will not tolerate any international interference in this matter i just need a. lawyer says the chinese government's actions were always unlawful.

what's truly exceptional about lucia's case is that she can't do anything about her situation. she hasn't committed a crime that has been no judicial ruling handed down so it is simply illegal that they are restricting her movement i mean she had to assure fifty. after years of negotiations and many setbacks lucia widow has finally been released but it will likely take a long time before she can return to a normal life. already reported kate brady is on this story for you and at the airport where you shall has just landed or at least a short while ago ok so did you were you able to speak to her did you see her. exactly she arrives here just next to me down on the runway that just an hour ago

and she wasn't actually able to speak to any press and was quickly hurdled away into a dock and vehicle where she will no doubt be now going to seek medical attention of course that is what chinese authorities are saying she's in germany for but of course it is thought that the german chancellor angela merkel has played a very pivotal role in the decision to release her of course are going to merkel has called on several occasions for her these and also far has been three days before his death just a year ago and of course as germany is now seeking to develop its economic ties with china as well merkel has also made it clear that burden is also keen to hold bilateral meetings with beijing in beijing also on human rights hard to kate brady reporting from the tarmac thank you so very much and. i'd like to her

welcome that mr i way way at this stage she is a very renowned chinese artist and an equally renowned human rights activists who spent more than four years and i said the first to do show as a citizen which you know nobody should limit her rights when the she has already. gained all surprised of for so many years which is such a dreadful situation and the. whole international community has argue about this notion i should be afraid on the specialty was germany. you know chancellor so much attention about it is just a son made such effort in a german has being. comes to him. you know. for a long time to go to negotiate his chinese government about chinese political prisoners on the loose house or it is

a positive. sometimes you know part of the op has to be assigned for this kind of international effort now mr i way you yourself have also been under house arrest and you fast spent almost eight years in captivity and she was never charged with a crime as you just alluded to what's it like to be and captivity for so long i think anybody including such a tyrant. under this kind of hour you'll feel powerless you know feel your nobody and then you feel your rights are totally missed. you know this is a very horrifying situation nobody can help you why do you think that the chinese government considered her a threat. i don't think chinese government ever

consider him her threat but they would always say this may be us gave us some kind of. call straw for. the whole note notion two or three discuss that duchamp was case so i think because this is what they really avoids to and to the they cannot just hold her for for this kind and there's this kind of conditions is absolutely unlawful situation do you think she'll ever have the opportunity to return to china as a free chinese citizen. i. well i syncs she's afraid to go bad but i don't think she may have a chance to come out again you know this is the same case as the me we know you

must promise she is. go back fraley but who else you know so many lawyers. has been quoting on this and. detention for years and there's not some just disappeared like a one trend job and you know there have been gifts disappeared of course three years exact to strew years and nobody in all a no lawyer no anybody not of the family in the whole where is this person is you know is a human rights lawyer and so i way way chinese artists and human rights activists thank you so much for weighing in on the release of miss the you shop thank you. i'm very happy people to shop thank you. right now let's return to our other lead story about that successful rescue of

a tired youth soccer team from deep inside a network of caves that were able to reestablish contact with these downhill cope who is standing by for us at the hospital where the remaining boys are being treated daniel now following this while heroic rescue attention it is now shifting to the boy's health do we know how they're doing. yeah exactly lay low well a little bit earlier during the press conference we heard the governor speaking and he was saying that the girls are that not the girls that the boys are actually in pretty good conditions he was sharing that of course you know we have to remember that they were four days in this cave for many days also without food also with very limited access to water because of that they also are being very careful at the moment we are hearing that the boys in general are in very good spirit we are

hearing that they were already asking for one of their favorite dishes which is a very spicy tired dish but the doctors have been saying that they need to be a little bit patient they were tweeting actually a picture a little bit earlier here from the hospital with a very big rice part also a tree gather with vegetables so everybody here in this hospital is trying at the moment their best to make sure that those boys can leave the hospital very soon and we are learning that most likely they will have to stay for a couple more days here in the hospital the entire eighth floor here off this hospital in chiang rai is reserved for the team and also for their coach right and let's talk of course about the parents who while been through a very very tough ordeal as well are harrowing wait did they get a chance to see their children hold their children. well they last throughout the last days we have seen relatives here at the hospital

of course wanting to know how their kids are doing as so far no hacks were able to be exchanged and the reason behind that is that doctors are very careful they really want to make sure because they are a little bit warry that the boys could easily suffer for example an infection so so far as the parents are only able to see their voice through a window yesterday also for example when one of the ambulance cars arriving we saw a scene here at the hospital when parents where able to you know to take a fast glimpse at the boys and of course this is making them very heavy but of course everybody is waiting that finally you know they can't hock each other again oh aren't they were so happy for everybody involved danielle cope reporting from outside the hospital where the soccer team is being treated thank you.

you're watching the news we still have a lot more to tell you about including fans flocked to st petersburg i had of tonight's world cup semifinal clash between france and belgium the winner will face either croatia england in the final. but first carmakers around the world are scrambling to adjust to u.s. terrorist guards that's right that's only a week since the latest tit for tat tariffs from china and the united states but multinationals are already scrambling to readjust supply chains so that the goods bound for the u.s. do not possed through china and the first american comics are raising their prices on the chinese market to make up for the higher duties. tesla is the first american company announcing that it's raising prices in china. the move comes in response to beijing's decision to impose tariffs on a range of u.s. products. china is the world's biggest car market and tesla cannot afford to be

price dollars plans are already underway to build a factory in shanghai which would enable the company to avoid tariffs in the future . germany's b.m.w. is also planning to introduce price hikes in china that's because customers there buy s.u.v.s produced at b.m.w. plants in the united states. the company money factors its x. series at its plant in north carolina each year bank one hundred pies and s.u.v.s produced their go to china b.m.w. is also ramping up production in china in response to its new tariffs on u.s. imports. another country is taking measures against u.s. tariffs on steel another minium switzerland has launched a complaint at the world trade organization h w to all members have now started such a challenge the united states says the duties of protecting national security but

the swiss economy ministry says that's unjustified it every two zero now has sixty days to settle the dispute. now for more on the global trade let's bring in frankfurt our financial correspondent that b.m.w. and tesla both raising prices for their cars in china has just announced it's building a big factory in shanghai so it's a that is joining a lot of nations complained to the video last looking like america's first strategy is backfiring spectacularly. yes garrett it's absolutely backfiring and i'm not really surprised about it because it just goes to show you all what a lot of people have said from the get go he has never thought that through you can't even call that whole america first concept a strategy that's a big word for what president trump had here and he goes step by step and does not

think about consequences he puts in tears he doesn't understand that this can cost him maybe more jobs than it can secure and was seeing that right now of course he wanted to put tariffs on cars of tears on steel and aluminum to secure jobs in certain american businesses but now he's of course chasing away companies who are now the test or couple of days earlier holiday vits and if they move production out of the u.s. into other countries well they're called the jobs well that is backwards and forwards with tariffs and duties is probably part of the reason why investor confidence in germany has reached a six year low anything that's happening there that would brighten up the day for them. well certainly i don't see anything right now on the horizon and that's pretty clear when you look at that that it w. index here that talks about investor confidence it's pretty clear that people out there are not seeing much either they probably think that the entire trade

situation is getting worse rather than better and obviously we're just standing here at the beginning of that entire dispute between the u.s. and china and between the u.s. and the e.u. and of course there's got to be more problems to come and right now i don't think it's easy to see where this is going exactly how much damage will be done. finance correspondent lost. in trying to force thank you very much miles. for tonight is the first game of the world cup semifinals and you can be sure of the fans french and belgian teams will be thousand force waving flags and sporting teams colors. is a big money spinner and flying off the shelves in russia a must to the delight of the retail industry that. just before ten am a crowd of international football fans has gathered outside department store on red

square to queuing for the future shop that sells official world cup merchandise. like to buy the ball i like how it looks it's a cool design these are some caps. to share to. give to children for the kids and my family and. we were on the mic and. they might face a bit of a wait only thirty six people are allowed into this small space at once demand is high and so are the prices some shirts cost of a one hundred euro's if that's a bit steep there's a souvenir shop next door that says russian dolls for just a few euros and some more affordable football merchandise. the world cup is a shopping spree for some people and the range of souvenirs is really astonishing wherever the ball goes the money comes to. you but the goodies that.

we've had three times more tourists than usual but our turnover has only doubled because not all custom must buy the most expensive items but has put on those but the most. money somewhere but again. russia has gripped by well talk fever and it's of bloom to the russian retail industry a lot of football fans are willing to splash the cash to buy the world cup as a chance to go to the last nation and to spend money they're lucky louie this time it's russia which is to the pricing. and the longer a team is in the competition the better their merchandise sells. now are we going for that so for me. full edition of the business for you in the next

hour and i was down the subject of football it's. thanks so much greatly appreciate it we'll get the world cup semifinal in just a minute but with me now is john think crane here to talk some football and breaking news first ok spell it christiane rinaldo is on the move off to nine years with ram and great news is just very can in the last hour he's joining the champions you ventus now events a serial child who's actually for the past seven years costing them one hundred million euros for the three year old incredible run all the reports of the guns and a half a million euros awake this is just incredible to think that he would actually leave ramadoss decided on where the club had so much success that the club's all time top goals for champions league titles with ram injured this kind of had been in the pipeline for a couple of days mooted that he would move to events as it really has kind of come up the blue he did hint a bit after the champions league final but very strange to think he will now be

playing for someone else they were they going to get for that one hundred million euros or they have a player who's been named well player the five times and then there he is thirty three need doesn't really get around the pitch as much as he used to you still would like him on your team and you let's face it. let's talk world cup because what under an hour we're going to have this big big for semifinal match balance of france i mean these are our church rivals how big is the rivalry tonight massive robbery they just share a border in some cases that she shot langridge or belgians often the bots. belgian is a bit simple a bit stupid it's already belgians so this is belgians chance really to exact some revenge now these two countries have played a staggering fifty seventy three competitive matches against each other and would you believe i found this a bit surprising belgium have the edge they've won thirty times to france the twenty four the last time they met in the world cup front's did actually win that it was back in one thousand nine hundred sixty that's the country story but also

the players because aiden as he actually grew up in front the plays. out. i think we can get a picture of him here as well if there is a sun. now he said this is one thousand nine hundred. and then another plane. is now. which he believes. he's made wrong choice and that actually they're going to prove him right now what will belgium look to exploit in tonight's match is a great question are very very difficult wants because i think. that both kind of experienced in defense strong in the field in the many attacking options. i think this could come down to two things because france really grown into this tournament but they have some vulnerability in defense they conceded three goes against argentina in the last sixteen so i think one it will depend on how well they can.

dynamic. the french defensive midfielder will have his work cut out and the other one is how the coach approaches the guy well he. strikes out wide again and give him the chance to run with the ball and attack the french defense and exploit the gaps i think will be the the two key things because to see him could be on the verge of reaching uncharted territory. from reaching the final for the first time in their history. the red devils have been one of the most exciting teams at the world cup. fans into a frenzy. was after the favorites brazil supporters believe their neighbors and friends will be the. home was match i believe anything is possible.

as a small country you know a. million people living there and we are proud of what we can achieve and we can do as a group. belgium have scored more goals than any other team in russia they have one of the best goalkeepers in. and they're assistant coach french. knows how to win a world cup. so for us it's very important. a lot of players look up to him because he's a legend in football as these belgian players now have the chance to become legends in their own right and bring home the world cup. thanks so much for watching.

thanks thanks to. crazy tournaments at twenty world cup has been so far. let's take a look at how the quarterfinals mention what's coming up this week. winning the title game russia check out.
