8:02 pm
all right thanks for your company everyone well it seemed impossible just two weeks ago but against all odds all twelve boys and their soccer coach have been freed from a flooded cave in thailand the divers and doctor who stayed with the boys have now also safely emerged ambulances brought the last of the boys and their coach to a hospital in the city of shanghai just a few hours ago there was see even medical care but he said to be in good condition the boys aged eleven to sixteen spent over two weeks deep inside the cave living a nightmare after water sealed off there were turnout a route well last week sadly a tide diver lost his life in the cave making preparations for the perilous rescue
8:03 pm
operation. and the governor of a province or was clearly pleased with the success of this extremely difficult rescue mission if you could no one thought we could do it but we did it he was a first for the world thanks to the thai people government agencies and the private sector. and you know we use the daniel cope is standing by for us at the hospital where the boys have been whisked off to work good to see you daniela well now that their rescue mission is over the attention is focusing to the boy's health how are they doing. yeah hi there les well it's one am here right now in china my in china right thailand so probably and we are hopeful that the boys and their coach are having a good night's sleep at the moment i mean them there must have been exhausted after this a rescue operation that went so smoothly i guess nobody here in this city nobody in
8:04 pm
this country was believing that it would be like that while we had a statement a little bit earlier from the governor during the press conference he was saying that in general the boys are doing pretty fine and we were hearing a little bit earlier that one of them had some issues with brad pressure he was receiving medication because of that then we heard that too who are suffering a minor annoyance morning but yes let me tell you that the hospital here is they are ready they are completely prepared the eighth floor here in the hospital is just for the kids and just for the coach and also earlier they were posting a picture of a vehicle rice part with vegetables that they were preparing for the kids so yeah they're really making sure that their kids get pampered and yeah that they can be hopefully reunited very soon with their families and then can go home because what's really striking daniel is that the parents of the boys didn't have
8:05 pm
a chance to just hold their child. yeah exactly i mean this must be really difficult situation i mean just imagine you would you didn't see your kid for such a long time you were not even sure if you know you would see your kids again alive but yes they still have to wait until they can embrace each other doctors are only allowing at the moment that the parents can watch their kids through a window this is happening because they really don't want to have any kind of risk factors at the moment the boys i mean as i said they're in pretty good conditions but you know still they are very weak their immune system is very weak and they are little bit warry that they could maybe suffer an infection and that's why the doctors are saying that so far no harks are possible and that their kids also most likely have to stay here for the next seven days in the hospital now let's talk about that incredible international rescue mission which you know has been nothing
8:06 pm
short of a miracle well lots of bravery involved to talk to us a little bit about that i mean yes was an incredible operation that was taking place here throughout the last days and i was talking earlier to a reporter here from thailand she told me when she got the story a sign that she was actually very worried that she would eventually report you know of all the dead soccer players now all of this turned out so positive and everybody is saying that the thai government at the thai government really did the right decision that they were asking also for volunteers for professional divers from aboard to liken this rescue operation i mean people were involved here from the navy seals in thailand but also volunteer divers such as from denmark and also from the united kingdom and many are saying that because of that the mission was really at the end a success all right daniela koch reporting from outside the hospital where their
8:07 pm
soccer team and their coach is being treated thank you for your continued coverage . while there are dramatic rescue has captured the world's attention i'm now joined by ambien show she is a psychiatry list and her specialty is posttraumatic stress disorder also known as p t s d a very good evening dr good to have you with us here in person the boys are said to be in good condition so very encouraging considering of course what they went through as a mental health professional yourself what complications do you think they will face now well essentially any a traumatic event can lead to a disconnection from the reality and what we're expecting is essentially an acute stress reaction which any normal healthy mental person can face when facing a traumatic event. where we have to keep in mind is that an acute stress reaction
8:08 pm
may lead to an acute stress disorder and in the long term it may or may not lead to p.t.s.d. post-traumatic stress disorder and how with that reveal itself what does that look like going through for these boys and the ordeal that they went through so far now we can't really say well you can't really talk about p.t.s.d. for now what we can talk about for the moment as the acute stress and reaction for up to two or three days and maybe and. maybe restlessness maybe and truth of. living off the experience what says so that's how it manifests itself after what's so striking is that at this stage it is being said that all the boys are being kept together and a lot of experts are saying they should stay together for as long as possible why well i really think that it depends i think that some boys my find solace in the fact that they want to there are those i'm trying to events not alone but as
8:09 pm
a group can imagine that some boys might want to process these alone because they're constantly reminded of this. event by facing the others that were there which may act as triggers right and as a reminder of what they all have been through. now you've talked about some of the ways that this stress can manifest itself i mean they've been trapped in that cave for eighteen days i can't even imagine what that what that's like and then that whole under a water rescue how would you treat them well i think the question we need to ask them. do we need to treat them because the acute stress reaction as i said is completely normal and i think it's important to tell these boys is normal to have these reactions it's normal to have this feeling that you have right now and then if they need to sometimes keep going for longer than four weeks then talk about the p.t.s.d. and then talk about a possible treatment right so it's encouraging that that they're out and that
8:10 pm
they're getting the right help put they need doctor and been show psychiatrist thank you so very much thank you. all right reverent want to bring you up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. the british man poisoned with the novel chalk nerve agent ten days ago has regained consciousness charlie rally was poisoned along with his partner dawn stir just who died on sunday the incident took place in solsbury the same city as you might recall where former russian spy surrogate screwball and his daughter were attacked with the nerve agent back in march. the death toll has now risen to one hundred fifty six people in japan due to flooding and landslides caused by last week's to wrench will raise now as waters begin to recede more than seventy thousand rescue workers have been the ploy in search of victims and survivors in the western part

8:12 pm
the widow of the chinese nobel prize laureate usual has left china to start a new life in europe she arrived in berlin just a few hours ago you shocked had been kept under near total house arrest without formal charges since twenty ten when her husband was awarded the prestigious prize his calls for democracy vexed beijing. the aircraft carrying landed in berlin on tuesday evening that ends eight years of what critics of the chinese government say was virtual imprisonment for the widow of one of china's most internationally well known dissidents. lewsey hour was confined to her home a few days after her husband lu shall ball became the first chinese recipient of the nobel peace prize in two thousand and ten louche elbow called for political reforms and the end of one party rule in china views that earned him an eleven year
8:13 pm
prison sentence he died of liver cancer in july twenty seventeen. but i never expected him to win the nobel peace prize and i can't leave the house it's absolutely absurd. even kafka couldn't have written this with any more certainty for temper to hurt her that she. loses is reportedly also ill and suffering from depression her release comes amidst government consultations between china and germany china says louisiana's release is not political patrick and shipping even though she's going to germany for medical treatment in accordance with her own wishes. there is no connection with the governmental talks going on right now in berlin means. many observers think it's hardly accidental that lewsey was allowed to leave china just
8:14 pm
as german chancellor angela merkel welcome chinese premier the can china to berlin with the u.s. threatening a trade war with both china and the e.u. the two leaders could be seeking to forge closer ties both in trade and diplomacy. all right and for more on the usia release we're now joined by felix lee he is a correspondent for one of germany's dailies good to have you here with us felix it seems looking from the outside that germany played an imperative role in securing her release why did germany or the german government take interest in her case well actually this used to be a major issue of human rights used to be a major issue for all western governments for all governments of western countries now after france u.k. there it's not a big issue anymore for them dealing with china economy is more important and after
8:15 pm
. donald trump became president also the u.s. is not pushing so much anymore so germany is the only country left to. research this question let's talk about timing because it seems to be very auspicious well yeah we just heard officially the chinese government says it has nothing to do with the visit of the prime minister. chung here in berlin but to be honest no it definitely has something to do actually do when chancellor merkel was in beijing in may she already hope that you shall be released by then it did work and this time it worked out just a little bit about misuse why was she considered such a threat for china so much so that she had to spend almost eight years and house arrest without any charge well the chinese government is afraid actually she was never accused. or. has been charged for anything but
8:16 pm
still the chinese government is afraid that she could raise her voice. because of her husband who got jailed because he was involved in human rights issues so yeah the chinese government the communist party sees us as a threat that she isn't the first. dissident or person who's critical of the chinese government to end up in berlin why do you think other people like her choose for a land well as i said germany is the only one of the very few countries western countries left to raises this question and saw all this. this is the reason why so many other chinese dissident also chose to come to germany and actually you shall ball before he died he made the wish and he proposed that you should go to germany because this is the safest place for her. now the reason the official reason is
8:17 pm
that she's coming to germany for medical treatment what do we know about her health and she looked quite frail well yeah after eight years in under state heavy a very heavy states of am not leaving the house not allowed to leave the house not allowed to meet many people she suffers from from major depressions this is already this was already seen a few years ago that she is suffering and she also has heart problems so i think she will get medical treatment definitely when she won't why she's now here in germany but i think she will stay here in conclusion though you think she's going to stay here so you don't think that in the near future or the far future she will ever be able to go back to her homeland as a free citizen well. i don't think she will if she's able or if she's allowed to too i don't know but she was i think she did the problem is her brother is still
8:18 pm
there and she wished she made the wish. that the brother should join her and come to germany to this the chinese government in the allow so so she is still a she is still under still under a lot of pressure also while she's in germany. felix lee thank you so much for shedding light in two facts very quickly here. and i'd like to welcome that mr i way way at this stage he is a very renowned chinese artist and an equally renowned human rights activists who spent more than four years under house arrest and china a very good evening sir why do you think chinese authorities decided to release miss you shot and allow her to come to buy land i think the first of. which you know nobody should limit her rights on the she has being sorry
8:19 pm
putting all surprised of for so many years which is such a dreadful situation and the. whole international community has been argue about this notion i should be afraid on the specialty one germany. you know chancellor so much attention about it is just based on a made such effort in a german has being. constant him. you know. for a long time to to to now go shit to his chinese government about chinese political prisoners on the lucius or a days is a positive. something you know part of the possibly bizarre for this kind of international effort now mr i way you yourself have also been under house arrest and usually spent almost eight years in captivity
8:20 pm
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 would be including such a tyrant. under this kind of hour you'll feel powerless you'll feel your nobody and the 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 right but they would always say maybe or. gave us some kind of. call straw for. the whole note notion two or three discuss duchamp was case so i said because this is what they
8:21 pm
really avoid too and part of 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 for a leak but who knows it all so many lawyers. has been quoting this and. detention for years and there's not some just disappeared like
8:22 pm
a one can draw and you know there have been gifts disappeared for three years exact to strew years and nobody in all and the 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 where with chinese artists and human rights activists thank you so much for weighing in on the release of miss you shop thank you i'm very happy for you shop thank you and i'd like to hand you over now to funny for the latest in business on tariffs again thank you very much it's only a week since the latest hit for tat terrorist from china and the united states but well the nationals are already scrambling to readjust supply chains so that goods balance for the u.s. don't pass through china and the first american carmakers are raising their prices on the chinese market to make up for the higher duty is here is more. tesla
8:23 pm
is the first american company in maine think 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 priced errors 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 that x. series at its plant in north carolina each year bryant a hundred thousand 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. one rhino is killed every seven hours in africa one
8:24 pm
elephant every thirty minutes what's to blame the great for ivory trade dominantly in asia for example china of paul the emergency brakes last year and put a strict european regulations hava full of full poles with disastrous consequences . these two elephant cubs may soon end up like this was more elephants a killed by purchase every year than on form despite various trade embargoes ivory is in high demand while white. various countries in europe have become hubs of the international i free trade in germany a line thirty's confiscated one point two tons of illegal ivory in twenty sixteen the trade embargoes in europe a full of loopholes the resale of riflery that was purchased before one thousand nine hundred eighty nine is legal if the ivory comes from animals that died of natural causes it can also be sold legally but these loopholes are exploited by
8:25 pm
traders to smuggle illegal ivory and by the illegal trade a study by the international fund for animal welfare the i f a w has shown that various ivory products are traded online without certificate. animal rights activists and now handed a petition to the german environment ministry with more than one hundred seventy thousand signatures to demand a trade embargo with no exceptions the same demands are also coming from africa thirty two countries that appeal to the e.u. to finally shut down the ivory market. all right so if you thought illegal ivory trade is a thing of the past this report definitely brought you up to speed because it's not and there's a whole lot more more to this so let's bring in class and animal rights activists at the wildlife in hamburg overclass thank you so much for joining us now one of the forty thought that there is already a tight restriction to prevent illegal ivory trade what's the problem here.
8:26 pm
yes. the main problem is what just was said that still now more than twenty thousand elephants are cool to each year they are parched because of the ivory ivory trait so and this is possible because we have legal loopholes in the legislation in europe but also in germany that means that under us certain circumstances if conditions are met the ivory trade can be legal for example if it's on t.v. so i every is generally quiet to be fought nineteen seventy and forty seven then it's possible to treat this legally but additionally and that is the problem you have the illegal trade and for the enforcement authorities it's quiets challenging even impossible to disk tin wish if this of a legal illegal so the leap loophole is existing in the current legislation we have
8:27 pm
to close and to have to shut down the very markets in europe and also in germany right but if these loopholes are known why is brussels for example not tougher on on regulations. that is a good question and we have to say that there is still a decision making process ongoing but we are waiting waiting for that gesture from the e.u. commission to suggest the member states what will be the next steps but we have also to say that the e.u. commission is depending on support to support from member states european member states such as germany and that this are reason why i for is also the german government take on the responsibility to save the remaining elephants shot down the still existing i remark and i retreat in germany and that's what you expect from
8:28 pm

8:32 pm
but there is more to it than meets the eye yeah and i don't think she will be going back that's the official reason from china i mean she's been under house arrest for eight years suffered the last of a loss of a husband last year and her friend the chinese all three. lives here and then revealed a few months ago that she was suffering from clinical depression also her brother wrote on social media earlier today when she was most will be in the air actually me that she was off to germany to begin a new life i quote from him so i think it's there's no return to china and anyway she is a narcissist in her own right so let's have a look at some of her work shown here in berlin just three years ago and the work of her husband as well. photos are oppressive and surreal. silence screens for freedom. twenty
8:33 pm
fifteen an exhibition in berlin displays photos by chinese artist and poet. the artist cools her on photos. many of them were taken before her. wrist started in twenty ten. has never been charged with any offense but she was the wife of dissident a nobel peace prize laureate. who died in custody and twenty seventeen was a writer professor and political dissident. it was amid the crackdown on tiananmen square in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine that he turned from academic to activist. work through the government wants people to forget about what happened but the communist party knows exactly what happened every year they get nervous about something else they censor the internet and want to stop people
8:34 pm
speaking about what they do. for his actions was imprisoned and stripped of his teaching position but he would remain undeterred for decades he would struggle for democratic rights against the mighty chinese state because met in the nineteen eighties and they married while he was imprisoned in a labor reeducation camp. would remain an important contact volusia during his long stretches in prison. the either set and that's the cost that's the price you have to pay if you want to stand out of iran are if you want to be a free thinking intellectual in china. for that. for that you and her husband have pending a very heavy price now almost a year after his death he has the chance to start taking. a very steep price indeed
8:35 pm
a lot of pressure has been exerted diplomatic pressure say from germany but also fellow artists yeah as i mentioned the old you wound who lives here in berlin has been existing this pressure in the is a small community of chinese dissidents generally there's been a tremendous amount of support from germany for release from house arrest have been a number of cultural events to protest and her husband's treatment in reason is also i would as we've seen the famous artist ai wei wei who spoke earlier on the program has been trying to get her release and he knows also what she's been through of course but apart from those personal connections there's been a lot of political pressure as you said from the from the german government and i understand that this friday there is the special commemoration commemorating her husband yeah well this was actually planned before we knew this news because this friday will be the anniversary the one year anniversary of new soundboards death
8:36 pm
and and it will feature this remembrance service in a church era but featured many prominent people from the cultural scene here including volved be a man who was the most famous if you like east german dissident back in the day old so the the noble literature prize win a nobel i should say it should prize when a handsome and new shah wrote a poem to head to mona some time back and i'd like to read it if i may because i think it explains what it's been like to be in solitary confinement really and i as a way said to have this powerless feeling anyway here. is did. i come into a bull as somebody knocks at the door my neck stops to stiffen but i cannot leave i speak to myself i'm going mad too solitary i have not the right to speech
8:37 pm
to speak loudly i live like a plant i lie like a corpse well hopefully these days i. shall now and burrow land where she will be attending that commemoration service on friday i imagine thank you so much it's beautiful thanks. we're going to shift our attention now to the u.k. where the british prime minister theresa may move to reassert her authority when she presided over a cabinet meeting earlier today and she quickly replaced the two high profile ministers who quit in protest at her strategy for leaving the european union but hardline brags that supporters in her conservative party fear it will leave the u.k. type too closely to the e.u. and prevent the u.k. from striking its own trade deals tonight's two party vice chairs resigned from their posts. the british papers are warning of
8:38 pm
a government in crisis. but as prime minister to resign may met with her hastily reshuffle cabinet it was almost as if nothing had changed. after two high ranking ministers resigned in protest at may's plan for leaving the e.u. she quickly filled the gaps with loyalists the. principle job as a time of most importance for our country is to stand for the prime minister so that we can get through an agreement with europe it is based on what was agreed by the cabinet last week which is. the former foreign minister boris johnson will now have to watch gregg's it unfold from the sidelines he had at first accepted the latest proposal for a soft bread. it agreed by the cabinet last week at the prime minister's country retreat outside london but on monday he submitted his resignation saying the brakes a dream is dying. his decision to step down came only hours after david davis
8:39 pm
capable of securing a deal to reject the economy job done livingstone. if he's korea this government cannot secure a good deal for britain. so far the british prime minister has emerged surprisingly unscathed but with less than nine months until britain leaves the bloc may still have to get or break the plans through parliament and then convince brussels to sign off. now back here in germany a court in munich is due to conclude the five year long trial of suspects in a murder spree that left ten people dead over several years but whatever the verdict the families of the victims feel it failed to answer many questions about the killings and the alleged to neo nazi a murderers their lawyer say the trial also failed to examine the mistakes of the security agencies and the murky role of those agencies informants. abdul karim shem shack is the son of the first to make
8:40 pm
him he was a child when his father was killed. why did the murderers choose my father i just can't and won't believe it was a coincidence or. you're over four hundred thirty seven days of negotiations and this important question has not been answered i can't find closure because i don't feel that everything has been investigated. the victims' families fear that the trial for the first series of racist murderous a post-war germany hasn't and search many of the questions. first my mother was a suspect then my uncle then everyone around us was under constant investigation that went on for a living here so it was as if my father were the perpetrator rather than the victim and that was reflected across the media with its reporting on the so-called kebab
8:41 pm
murders of turkish people or allegations of drug related crime according to the press my father was the guilty one and that's how we felt. we had to check that is the main defendant she is thought to be just sole survivor of a three member nazi terror cell over the years that allegedly killed nine migrants and a police officer without coming under suspicion instead for years and thus to get are so focused on people connected to victims rather than on members of the neo nazi movement that the trial has barely touched on the authorities failings nor has it examined the role of german domestic intelligence which had contacts in the so-called national socialist underground alongside chad forman are also accused of helping the ennis you but victims lawyers said that convinced a group support network was much larger. we for sure will go on that
8:42 pm
the we could say all of the family they say our questions are space and haven't been met we expect from you do that you use all means that our way be to follow on and to go on to search for the truth after sitting through more than five years of this trial most of the victims' families want to keep on fighting for complete clarification or. all right when i hand you back over to funny now about aspirations of balkan nations to join the european union fighting their high elia european union representatives have be meeting with foreign ministers of six balkan states in london to discuss their prospects of joining the european union the country syncrude bosnia and herzegovina serbia kosovo macedonia albania and montenegro know by joining the e.u. they hope to generate greater wealth but before do western balkans can hope to benefit from europe's economic strength they've got some homework to do. all in all
8:43 pm
the west balkans are quite a way along the path to membership according to sources in brussels they've made progress on the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary and the legislative process is also being brought in line with the european union. but e.u. membership also means integration in the common market business must be competitive and in many cases that's a long way off the most important yardstick for the economic strength of a country is its gross domestic product you know beenie a g.d.p. per capita is only about three thousand eight hundred fifty euros per year in macedonia it's only a little bit around four thousand six hundred by comparison e.u. member states have an average g.d.p. of thirty two thousand seven hundred euros annually about eight times higher. then there's the widespread corruption coupled with organized crime and money laundering but one of the alternatives for the region russia turkey and china are all trying to build their influence in the balkans that's putting pressure on the e.u.
