pissing their lives on the line since the start of syria's civil war the white helmets often seen running toward seems most people would flee from. to help people injured in ears strikes and shellings like here in aleppo ny they're being rescued themselves. israel's military confirmed the evacuations of hundreds of white helmets and their families a humanitarian effort as part of a joint action along with the united states and european countries. it comes as an offensive by the syrian regime is gaining grain and restoring government control across large swathes of the countryside western the syrian army has been advancing towards the israeli controlled golan heights right next to connect where the white helmet volunteers are coming from. an agreement brokered by russia was reached a few days ago to see the rebels hand over territory around connector and neighboring daraa to syrian forces those rebels who did not want to cooperate with the

a meeting of g twenty finance ministers and central bankers and the argentinean capital whereas iris francois. trade war is now a reality. trump continues is to tear of blows with china the european union the g. twenty is said to call for greater dialogue and warns against derailing global growth. going into the summit the threat posed by u.s. president trumps america first policy was clear the international monetary fund has studied the current tariff escalation and puts a number to it although small of and some had feared it certainly indicates the impact that it would have on g.d.p. which in the worst case scenario under current measures and not taking into account the most recent announcements is in the range of point five percent of g.d.p. on a global basis unsurprisingly the chief twenty member countries are distancing themselves

from any protectionist measures like japan just days after signing a massive trade agreement with the e.u. . benefits no one free and fair rule based trade cool is the way to roll the world economy. fair trade instead of free trade that sounds like what the united states want fighting accusations of protectionism trumps finance minister stephen nugent offer to open trade negotiations with japan as well as the e.u. not so fast says france they want the us to take back all recent tariffs and threats as a precondition for talks to start the officially your policy sounds a little softer. well it's not the condition because we conditions are never good but it would be a great wish. whether a great wish gets the u.s.

to change its strategy is unclear but for now g twenty finance ministers maybe with the exception of stephen minutes ten percent themselves as one big family working together for free trade. business team joins me in the studio to talk about this meeting which is clearly dominated by donald trump's trade war which is now being called by by by france what did the u.s. treasury secretary steve nugent bring to the table. first of all he brought an offer to the table but it's really hard to reach that offer what was it was it an apology or was it like saying look we don't mean what we just did we want to talk we want to trade or was it another display of strength was it more bullying was it more like look what we can do no you guys get on the table or else it's very difficult to read what we do know of course is that the united states one trait they want

trait because they needed as well they just want it in a different way in a fair way as president trump would describe it in for him fair of course it's a little bit tricky he thinks part of fair is for the united states to export more to any given country than they're importing and of course depending on any given country's economy that is not going to be possible there's always going to be surpluses was some countries and deficits with others we had in the report we heard about the i.m.f. prediction for the world economy a damper of zero point five percent of global g.d.p. that doesn't sound so bad well it does not sound like a huge number of course it could be worse still of course we're talking about a lot of money here and we know that some countries of course depend more urgently on growth especially in these times some countries like mexico for example or some other e.u. members as well what this number maybe shows us to whoever is that the unite. states is not the only game in town other countries are doing well other countries

are trading for the e.u. there's other options right now jeff that was signed the biggest trade agreement in history between the e.u. and japan there's also for the e.u. seat of the canadian european trade agreement still to be ratified and of course other countries elsewhere have options to very briefly coal they will call in their final communique for greater dialogue is that realistic and well dialogue is always maybe it's actually the only thing that is possible right now but dialogue is talking and listening and of course the united states as of late has been more talking than listening so it's going to be very difficult last other from business development thank you very much tens of thousands of people turned out on the streets of munich sunday to support migrants and protest against what they call politics of fear the demonstrators say public debate in germany is being pushed to the rights not only by the far right after the but also by the conservative c.s.u.

party they heard assad's the tense but germany's interior minister. to close the country's borders to migrants. and cuba has begun a cautious process of reform instigated by its new president. in april he became the first non-customer oh head of state on the island for sixty years this weekend parliament approved a new cabinet consisting almost exclusively of ministers already under raul castro deputies are also debating constitutional reform which among other things will permit private property but cements the communist party's hold on power. cuba's parliament has been debating constitutional reform since saturday it would be the first update since one nine hundred seventy six focusing largely on a controlled opening of the economy above all reformers want stronger recognition of private property rights and the i don't know what we already have here paid

employment and private property ownership we have to recognise this objectively this is the reality we have to accept and regulate it. in. the communist party remains in charge in cuba its goal is to develop a form of socialism that's no longer strictly communist raul castro took the first steps in opening the country's economy while he was president now and again diaz can and is in charge he's ruled out full on free market capitalism or. other constitutional reforms include limiting the president to two turns creating a prime minister post and addressing l g b t discrimination which has long been systematic in cuba. there was a saying that this is historic sixty years since the revolution we need to change the communist party has already given the reforms its blessing now the parliament has to accept them and put the changes to

a referendum. the german for me wrong grand prix in hockenheim has ended with a miracle win for formula one defending champion lewis hamilton doesn't start at the race and fourteenth place following hydraulics failure in qualifying but he took advantage of every way to battle to an unexpected with a save his driver is now seventeen points ahead of there are is the bus the unfettered fresh start of the race after spilling into the barriers in front of his home support finish privateer a bottomless top second with a record in italy. sensationally retired from the german national team following the controversy and fallout of his meeting with turkish president. back in may face fierce criticism from german media for the encounter while he was lambasted by the german f.a.

president obama not get into germany's early exit from the world cup in a post on social media the germany international said he was retiring with a heavy heart but he made the decision because of a feeling of racism and disrespect is that quote used to wear the german such pride and excitement but no i don't feel the time with ninety two caps at the world cup his name. joining me now in the studio to talk more about mesut ozil is a problem for the earliest from the w.'s falls. so why has finally released a statement now two months after that move well at this stage we can only speculate because of course like you mentioned going to one who was also pictured with the turkish president released a statement two months ago on a century that sort of blown over no one's really talking about it now let's not forget that in the past few months a lot has happened in german football of course the world cup and the whole debacle there and people like you know

a scapegoat essentially and so what we suppose i think what meds are probably thoughts i once again let's stress that we are speculating here is that it would blow over but it was like a snowball effect and i spose he probably didn't expect that the german football association the d.f.t. would be so critical. of him in previous weeks and also the team manager oliver beer hof of course said that perhaps he should have even been left out of the team that went to russia for the world cup and so he did mention sporting reasons but he did also hint at the fact that maybe this photograph had something to do with it but he didn't go as far as saying that. do you think this will will spend the end of misery international career for germany well if you look closely at the statement i mean it is a very strongly worded statement now we have two of the three statements that he's going to be releasing and already he is very clear in that he's very angry and he

has you know he goes he's very direct in his criticism of the german football association and also also low tomatillos this is a german football great and he's also an ambassador for german football it will be very difficult to sort of go back and then you know involve yourself in the team and it's also been quite a tough week for the german football association is let's not forget the confines woman to go of course he is the chairman. munich he was very critical of the german football association so let's see what happens now at the end of the statement we'll see what how far he goes interesting times in german football public for. both thank you very much. i recorded this interview with pablo before. retiring from germany international his national team. and we have a reminder of the top stories we're following for you here on c.w. news the israeli military has evacuated nearly eight hundred members of syria's so-called white helmets to neighboring jordan germany britain and canada have
