correspondent who's joining us from syria from beirut to syria and show it's good to see you so the israeli military rescued these so-called white helmets and their families as part of an international plan but why did you choose to intervene why did you do it. and really. it's our duty it's now incidents not only such when they have a medical thousands of civilians without asking them to gaza. because this is a serious humanitarian. because lastly. the burden that lead in. georgia. and germany. is something. that's. in the

center. so as it went on these white helmets have been working in cities and towns across syria at great personal risk we should add but why is this particular group in danger. we did have a voting booth question and the arm of nokia. has a has a national i do these companies that watches the f.t.c. . bought what do you not support the use of the knowledge in the stuff so i'm several villages in the s. and i will have been giving when i was ten and told to be doing a meditating what the median of the statement actually will is you get a medical emergency not not an avi it is also a positive that each is under control of the city. not the state so what you did not is that these people did. it in the

capital of us ira's france ones that a trade war is now a reality as donald trump continues his tit for tat tariff blows with china and the european union the g twenty is set to call for greater dialogue on ones against 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 them 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 and surprisingly the cheap twenty member countries are distancing themselves from any protectionist measures like japan just days after signing a massive trade agreement with the e.u.

. protectionism benefits no one free and fair rule based trade cool is the way to grow 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 brink condition because we conditions are 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 merchant percent themselves as one big family working together for free trade. french president emmanuel mccall is facing the first political crisis of his tenure on sunday prosecutors announced they've launched an inquiry into one of macross top security staff a video surfaced last week showing ellis island. assaulting a man and a woman at a may day demonstration in paris now he was fired on friday but opponents accuse mccall of trying to cover up the incident. the twenty six year old former top security aide to the president alexander had been i was fired on friday after footage was released of him hitting a young man several times on the edge of may day protests in paris when i was wearing a police helmet with visor and a police arm that was i. out of footage shows him attacking a young woman at the scene in a law faces charges of violence by

a case to paralyze the legislature. the scandal has become the most damaging for my call since his election last year on pledges to restore transparency and integrity to the nation's highest office. cuba has begun a cautious process of reform instigated by its new president miguel diaz canelo now in april he became the first non kustra head of state on the island for sixty years and this weekend parliament approved a new cabinet consisting almost exclusively of ministers who already served 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 political 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. that 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. really. 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 then is in charge he's ruled out full on free market capitalism. other constitutional reforms include limiting the president to two terms creating a prime minister post and addressing l g b t discrimination which has long been systematic in cuba. it was afraid 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. to the german grand prix in hockenheim which has ended with a miracle win for formula one defending champion lewis hamilton now hamilton started the race in fourteen following a hydraulic spinning qualifying but he took advantage of every away to battle and expect to win the save his driver is now seventeen points ahead of their areas the bastion that all crashed out of the race of just getting into the barriers in front of his whole supportive finish driver valtteri bottas took second with q.e. right finishing third. as of or still has a socially retire. from the german national team following the controversy and fallout of his meeting with turkish president. back in may now also faced fierce criticism from german needier for the encounter while he was lambasted by the german f.a. president and had germany's early exit from the world cup now in

a post on social media the germany international said he was retiring with quote a heavy heart but that he had made a decision because of a feeling of racism and disrespect he said quote i used to wear the german shirts with such pride and excitement but now i don't know retires with ninety two caps and a world cup his name. well joining me in the studio to talk more about mesut ozil is public. thank you for joining us so at this stage obviously it might not come as a surprise that also has quit but will his strongly worded statement make any difference what you said it's incredibly strongly worded and in many ways that was what the everyone is shocked about because even here in the newsroom when we were reading it he did not mince his words and his criticism was very much directed at the german football association i'm in particular of course that is the president

of the german football association and you know he says he raises many many issues and not only in his treatment as a player for the german he saw it and of course he's hanging up his boots this is a player as you mentioned before with an incredibly long career with the german national team you know he's played over ninety times scored and he's won a world cup with them so you know the reaction to this is that many people here in germany are incredibly shocked at exactly what he had to say but it would seem that his criticism isn't just for the german football association he seemed to have quite a lot to say can you tell us that yeah you're absolutely right because let's not forget you know of course is german but of he does have. turkish heritage and so he raises many issues with regards to racism in the country and how he's being treated as somebody with you know backgrounds essentially having been brought up in germany but of course his family are turkish and you know he like i said before he didn't

mince his words and said he said people with racially discriminated of backgrounds should not be alive to work in the largest football federation in the world that has many players from jewel heritage families and you also raise some issues because you mentioned as well other players who also am you know have a different heritage as such is of course you know from poland and you know it's going to it's going to probably create a lot of debate here in germany after this statement and very quickly pablo what has been the initial reaction to his statement i think shock in many respects like i said you know in the media there's been a lot of shock and of course from people across the plums i don't think anyone would expect such a strong words worded statement from somebody in a position such as measured who feels who is he so well known across the planet and of course he plays in england and so well known here in germany so you know in the next coming hours and days i'm sure that be plenty of talk about what he has to say

and we look forward to hearing all of it from you publicly yes from the sports the thank you for joining us. well you're watching the news from berlin more coming at the top of the hour and don't forget you can get all the latest news and information around the clock on our website that state of the dot com thank you for joining us. climate change. waste. pollution. isn't it time for. eco africa people and projects that are changing the ones aren't for the better it's up to us. to let her go. w. five.
