hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us cool response from tehran to donald trump's unexpected offer of talks the head of iran's strategic council on foreign relations says it sees no value in talks with the u.s. president after trump said he was willing to meet iranian president hassan rouhani without preconditions the statement comes after a week of increased hostility between the two countries tehran and washington are odds over the fate of the iran nuclear deal which trump withdrew from earlier this year even by president chump standards the statement made it's a news conference with the italian prime minister was surprising their quality is the first time a u.s. president has offered to meet with an iranian leader since the islamic revolution nearly forty years ago. and i would certainly meet with iran if they wanted to meet i don't know that they're ready yet to have a hard time right now but i ended the iran deal it was

a ridiculous the i do believe that they will probably end up wanting to meet and i'm ready to meet any time they want to and i don't do that from strength or from weakness i think it's an appropriate thing to do this statement was all the more unexpected given the flare up of tension between tehran and washington over the last week on sunday the iranian president won the u.s. to stop provoking his country. you know mr trump don't play with the lion's tail this will only lead to regret you will for ever regret it. true to form trump responded on twitter this time with an all caps to rate warning rouhani he would suffer the consequences the likes of which few throughout history had ever suffered before if he threaten the u.s. again ending the tweet with the words be cautious. the two sides began to escalate their rhetoric in may after trump withdrew from the landmark accord aimed at limiting tehran's nuclear program and in an initial response to trump's new offer

iran has stressed that there can be no dialogue unless the u.s. returns to this nuclear deal and suspends new sanctions. to u.s. secretary of state might point peo also say that while he's on board with trump's initiative he thinks iran should change its behavior before any such talks take place. but as president trump said in monday's news conference his meeting with north korea's dictator also compounded expectations but in his words produce positive results so maybe the international community could be in for another surprise when it comes to iran. well for more let's cross right over to tehran with eric randolph who's the correspondent for the french news agency p there eric tell us more about how iran is reacting to troubles latest statement in which he offered talks with the country's president. well so

far the top leaders in the country remaining fairly quiet in response to trump's we've had quite a few lower down officials most of them saying that there can't be any truth and so the u.s. comes back to the nuclear deal which it bought and made reduces its hostility that's the line that's been pushed by the supreme leader who a couple of weeks ago said that it would be useless to how many talks with america which has failed to stick to it under the previous bargains and that's no reason to trust that now we have one. of the parliamentary foreign policy commission though he didn't say it should be a to boot or talk to the united states and the ultimately that has to be done or it's going to be any hope of moving forward in the region well donald trump himself must know that went wrong honey originally negotiated the iran nuclear deal hardliners in his country vilified him politically can hear a honey even afford to pursue reparations with the us

a second time i was certainly true the rouhani has had his his status greatly damaged by america's withdrawal from the nuclear deal of he had staked a lot of his legitimacy on that deal on the idea that he could rebuild relations with the west and attract foreign investment and conservative critics now accuse him of being naive but i wouldn't trust it the united states that said we've really sing the political spectrum unite in the last few months as a result of us austerity and then making decisions really the single unit now perhaps more so than even before so whatever on either side would actually be i think a consensus decision that includes very much a super in need around other parts of the establishment. what do ordinary iranians make of all this area with president trump first threatening iran and then now reaching out to a hand what do they make of his approach to nuclear diplomacy you know i think it's

difficult for americans to accept this right on every what comes from washington. been listening to this back and forth bickering between their leaders. and the americans for most of the lives young people have grown up with it. they face a lot of it out there is much more on the day today problems with the economy and while u.s. actions. they want to see action from that and they want to see action taken and then much more of this all the time you know one of the it's we tour a. comment from from the white house eric thank you so much that was eric randolph there with the a.p. news agency talking to us from tehran now north korea is reportedly working on new missiles after promising to denuclearize

according to the washington post u.s. intelligence services say they have detected renewed activity at a north korean site that has produced ballistic missiles in the past in june at his summit with donald trump north korean leader kim jong il and had promised to work toward getting rid of his country's nuclear weapons. well with me in the studio to talk about this is about baggage from the german council on foreign relations thanks for being with us so the u.s. is detected renewed activity at a north korean missile factory sounds rather vague what does it mean that is a rather wake indeed the voicing post itself is very very good in its report just quoting some intelligence services generally speaking we don't know what capabilities the north koreans have a missile technologies and these pictures basically at to it what they see on the it's at live pictures is basically. the site where they might produce these

missiles but what is actually happening there's no so without any further evidence to go on is there really any reason for us to be alarmed i think at the moment it's no time for alarmism at the moment we should really look what's happening behind the scenes the u.s. and north korea on the doing while we're waiting that some clear results come for future process if it were confirmed that north korea is continuing to develop ballistic missiles what would that mean for relations between john yang and washington thing at the moment it doesn't mean much and singapore summit both sides agreed that they will have a process towards do nuclearization and what's happening at the moment is that they're setting up a framework for such a prose it's with which involves working groups on denuclearization but also on security building so so far there's no clear agreement on what both sides have to do remind us again just what the current state of play is in this negotiation in

efforts to re to denuclearize the korean peninsula. we're at the moment both sides are meeting at the border and try to debate how are pros who should be structured than the future that means what the frame workers and work details should be discussed so in this room at the end of the day involve mechanism that would provide transparency verification but also measures to to secure both its interests and security and those of south korea of course but that still needs to be done that will be a long process which could take another two or three years in the past we've seen attempted deals attempted to go she asians with north korea that eventually fell apart do you having watched these negotiations take place over time have confidence in donald trump's ability to solve this almost seemingly unsolvable problem interestingly yes because this time a different approach was used meaning that no north korea actually able to

articulate its interests and that being considered in the pros as in the past was more on north korea to move and they would get concessions and return to this way perhaps it might work ben thank you so much ben tweek from the german council on foreign relations. taylor some of the other stories making headlines around the world today officials say a militant attack on a government building in the eastern afghan city of jalalabad has ended after five hours of intense fighting between suspected islamic government and security forces at least six people were reportedly killed and some fourteen wounded in the assault no group has yet claimed responsibility. well asia's civil aviation chief has resigned after a report on missing flight m h three seventy showed failures in air traffic control . it found controllers failed to put emergency procedures into action when the

malaysia airlines plane banished from the radar but investigators say they still don't know why the flight disappeared in two thousand and fourteen with hundreds on board. france has passed a law banning school children from using smartphones at school people's age from three to fifteen won't be able to use any internet connected mobiles during class or on the playground the law comes into effect in september. and zimbabwean officials are posting pollution ery results outside polling stations as the country celebrates a largely peaceful election the vote saw historically high voter turnout of seventy five percent it's still unclear who's ahead but both presidential front runners and president emerson. have said they're confident of victory based on partial returns. starting now to northern iraq which was liberated nearly

three years ago from the so-called islamic state when it's swept through the region i asked targeted minorities like the yazidi s. who don't follow the islamic faith militants killed kidnapped and in slave thousands of years eighty's and even now the group is still recovering from the genocide returning and starting afresh is a mammoth task very few people have tried to start a new life in the region and its capital sin jar or shin shin doll as it's known in kurdish w.'s begin to shoot traveled there and brings us this exclusive report. the capital of the yes he does lies in ruins devastated by invasion and the fight for liberation most people fled when so-called islamic state took the city and killed enslaved thousands now that the islamists have been expelled only a few residents have returned in many parts shingle feels like a ghost town to end of years after liberation from my ex only three thousand

families have returned to a city which once had more than eighty thousand inhabitants. there still no sign of reconstruction there are no hospitals schools are functional administration he has hedy's living inching gun feel abandoned by their politicians. the head of we've got no electricity and the water is bad. there are bombs and mines all over the place. they have to clear them. they've now before us you just can't live here there's no work so people aren't coming back. because the situation doesn't improve soon then we who have returned will leave again very soon got enough. stephanie yes he wants to stay no matter what the twenty four year old study to be a teacher but there are no schools so he opened up a glass workshop with

a friend the problem is that nothing is being rebuilt which means even his business is struggling. with people won't come back as long as there are so many different political groups here working only for themselves there are thousand for himself. is the incentive that. is hard treated like fourth or fifth class citizens let me give you an example i had to live in the mountains for three years and five months there were six thousand families in the mountains. if we weren't you know they would have taken care of us like they did other people. more than residents come to him every day asking for money for reconstruction but he can't help them the government says it wants to press on with rebuilding but almost pessimistic after the latest protests he says he expects any available money to be

spent elsewhere. well joining me now in the studio is the w.'s son of the peters who is also in northern iraq helping to make that report some of the let's talk about singe or shingai as it's called in kurdish still in ruins three years after being liberated are there any prospects of that city being rebuilt i can see that happening and that you know it's not anytime soon because as the mayor has rightly pointed out money's going elsewhere singe or is disputed territory so everybody involved there things now why should i put a lot of money into reconstruction in fact be sure if i still be a strong force ia and the time being it's a very congested political battleground you have notes of militias they are shiite militias you have kurdish militias competing with each other you have you know the central government trying to establish a foothold they are but in the sense of controlling it for strategic reasons not in

order to help people so you still basically have a proxy war situation going on there in northern iraq the way we do in syria with lots of competing factions what about the use edis themselves the easy these who survived those unspeakable horrors that were perpetrated against them by. where are they now i mean you know if you look at the capital it used to be about eighty thousand people now it's nearly deserted only very few people came back just around deserted people chose to flee feet towards the kurdish territory northern iraq to a city called don't walk. and others re venture it across borders into syria into turkey further into europe if you look at germany you have about one hundred thousand living in germany at this moment and also we have visited their holy mountain which is small and singe or it was that mountain that generated you know these pictures of people fighting for survival in august two thousand and fourteen

you know when this. pain happened and out of those fifty thousand to up that mountain who managed to flee later on when kodesh forces had you know security. for them to flee into different parts of syria and northern iraq ten thousand dust up they're still living in camps settlements and tents and this is now off to you know how many years four years almost so as you're saying many of them haven't been dispersed they've sought safety sought refuge elsewhere the years edis so you have a growing d.s.p. of years edis including here in germany have the law or are they losing a sense of their home i thought when we spoke to people there that that sense is very palpable you know there is a great sense of we have lost our traditional homeland we have lost the homeland that carries some of the holiest sites some of them were destroyed and if you look at their capital singe or ocean gallus they call it you know it was destroyed

partly by us but also if we really look at things mainly because of the u.s. bomb bought minutes which were necessary to enable you know kurdish forces to liberate the territory from i s rule and there is no international effort either because that's exactly what they are asking for we want international protection and we want to establish our own fighting force you know our own army because they have lost faith in the iraqi state and the currents as well at least those ones and the could autonomous region which originally left them alone and then of course other militias coming in five years it's an ethno religious group that is has been persecuted for a long time there was a great deal of effort to try to get them out of the clutches of us and to create that corridor you mentioned on the mountain allowing about forty thousand to get get away. who is his helping they these people who are still subject

apparently to such a great person. usually there are some international and local n.g.o.s helping them but really in the end there is no what i would call a concerted international effort helping them and also you know being a minority in a country which still is essentially at war it means you know you are not the focus of attention it doesn't matter what has happened to you in the past because there is so much still going on that i think they're really not in the limelight they are the forgotten people who somehow have lost their homeland who more or less and for themselves out there so thank you so much for coming in and talking to us today some of the papers spahn d.w. correspondent who spent quite a bit of time now in northern iraq. well business tesla is looking to build cars in europe ben has a story thank you terry the american economy is planning on building a huge manufacturing center in europe talks are already underway with two german

states as it explores building another gigafactory additional negotiations are taking place in the netherlands the facility will assemble batteries as well as vehicles according to tesla though reached a decision about the location by the end of the year just recently tesla announced plans to build a factory in china half a million cars will supposedly be produced there a year the comic a has recently struggled to meet the livery targets for its mass market model three. and while tesla miles producing a germany germany's b.m.w. wants to build cars in hungary the premium comic or is besting a billion euros in a new factory a thousand workers will construct vehicles with combustion engines as well as electric and hybrids b.m.w. chose the locations you hungry for infrastructure the proximity to many suppliers and the highly skilled personnel there factories in germany are working at close to full capacity right now. online shopping has been booming for years but have

you ever heard of training full sales assistants on how best to do business in the virtual world one german retailer is launching a new training program for e-commerce customers here are trying out a prototype virtual reality shopping assistant. most transactions still involve exchanging hard cold cash for goods the primary method for food shoppers. but that's slowly changing. in retail one in eight euros is now spent online and the trend is increasing alongside technological advances. that means businesses need to adapt specifically they need to rethink how they train their staff. that to me of course we urgently need experts to deal with these changes we traditionally hire college grads are people making career changes. but that won't be enough going forward it will be critical to train up

a new generation of apprentices. these intrepid youngsters are part of media marks new training efforts with again i like working on computers of course a broad based education is needed but i think the main thing is having good computer skills is if you made them who are involved in digitalization we can build things online shopping is constantly developing everyone shops online i hardly anyone goes to stores anymore that's why i'm doing this. the two are training to build and maintain online shops selling things online brings a new set of challenges discounting is a major subject along with data analysis it can pinpoint which sales pitches motivate which audiences. busy in all the bones of the site we can see who's clicking on our pages their age ranges and gender this makes it easier to tailor it for their needs on the services key the easier the customer experience the better.

so where does this leave media marks brick and mortar stores they'll likely continue in combination with online shopping and where do our apprentices shop if it's on have to i'd say it's fifty fifty i mean a bit more online but i still go into stores maybe mark says it will still need well trained staff in their stores as it pursues its two prong strategy shopping in person and online and if the test phase is a success shoppers may have a new employee to interact with as well now he loves virtual sales assistant big guy. david the american bred known for its large bikes is to begin producing smaller motorcycles a twenty twenty base series of five hundred to twelve fifty c.c. middleweight bikes said even smaller versions of that for the asian market it also plans to introduce an electric motorcycle next year you know how that proves the

directly for asylum in europe and in the eyes year while their claim is being processed much critics say thousands of people including children end up stranded in the camps with little hope of ever making it to d.w. to europe rather correspondent catherine martin is travel judiciaries capital for a firsthand look. she's a young lady is thirty and from somalia she doesn't want to show her face but she's committed to telling how she was driven from her home. down to was that my husband was killed and i was at home with my children masked men came into our house they raped me and beat me i still have the scars from my that's why i came here he did in kosovo who was then they would have that peace is one of around fifteen hundred refugees evacuated by the united nations from libyan camps last autumn they have

endured war and many of them sexual violence every one of these women was deemed especially vulnerable by u.n. staff who arranged for them to be flown out there now recovering in the shelter for women and children in need air before being flown to europe. funding for the shelter comes from the e.u. it's a prime example of illegal migration without the pitfalls of a perilous mediterranean crossing once they're refugees arrive here from detention in libya we provide them with the media's assistance with protection we have a team of psychologists working with them so we have what we call a philosophy of care basically we provide them with recreational activities with counseling with their we provide them with language classes to prepare them for was adamant shares of former french colony and one of the poorest countries in the world it also has the world's highest birth rate on average women in the share has six children there's little infrastructure and economic output is low the west

african nation is africa's main transit hub for refugees and people smuggling is big business the president of the european parliament has come to assess the situation first hand antonio tell yani says the e.u. aims to reverse the trend by providing shelters so refugees are not driven into the hands of smugglers and we have to stop these groups for profit from the lives of africans who die in the desert and in this we have to stop them completely. in order to help me share support the refugees as they wait for resettlement in europe the e.u. is pumping money into the local economy most people like those here in the capital niamey live hand to mouth this woman sell snacks for about one cent each but not many people buy these men sell tea on the street sometimes it's enough to buy a phone card despite rampant poverty as president says his country is ready to help

but long term it will need much more money from the e.u. . it's important that we wage a toddler survive against poverty. republic but also through private investment. some of the refugees in the shelter here in the. it will have been waiting more than a year to get to europe the un has been sharply critical of some countries that want nothing to do with legal migration and refuse a refugee quota. to tell us if their process would move more quickly which would mean that we could save more lives we could bring more people from detention in tunisia. she says one of the few who have made it this far and she at least will have an opportunity to start a new peaceful life in europe without having to put her fate in the hands of smugglers. while some are hoping that projects like the one in new share could be part of the solution to managing uncontrolled

migration the german government has a similar idea that it wants to put into effect building processing centers close to germany's borders as in these air migrants from stay there while their applications to enter the country were processed some say it's better than migrants just disappearing into germany's towns and cities. german police picking up migrants for deportation this time they've got whom they're looking for often that's not the case more than one hundred twenty thousand migrants have disappeared after being given deportation orders police simply can't find them. to avoid this germany's interior ministry wants to set up so-called anchor centers to house asylum seekers. the the anger centers are supposed to ensure that people don't go missing or escape deportation. and see. the police support the idea. you mention talking until

people simply disappear and that doesn't happen at anchor centers because people are obliged to live there if they want to receive certain social security payments for example and cuts and. conservative parties are also pushing for more random id checks to find those went missing. in our opinion random police checks in all states and at the borders would be a very very valuable tool to increase pressure on fugitives. and zia's initiatives installment germany has left party asserts that the anchor centers are unnecessary for one they don't trust the official figures on how many migrants have gone missing to avoid deportation indeed even the ministry for refugees itself concedes that a considerable amount of its data is inconsistent or implausible. denmark

is the latest country to ban wearing full face bails in public this may affect of really mean house arrest for nearly two hundred women who choose to cover their faces when leaving home the danish government says the ban supports women's rights it empowers them to make their own decisions but we meet one woman who says denmark's veil ban is taking away her choice. to man it's not just handing out flyers sarah wants to fight for her faith twelve years ago she made the decision to bail her face but from now on she'll be breaking the law. right i feel very disappointed i feel like i thought we lived in a free society where people can believe what they want and they can wear whatever they want as long as they don't hurt other people born in denmark and raised by turkish parents sarah and her fellow activists are complaining while they still can trying to win support for a demonstration and they're getting that support i think it's

a violation of human rights just one other time when men are deciding what women are supposed to be wearing i think you kind of pushing them or away from society and it's important that. you accept that there there's like a cultural difference in parliament sarah has an appointment with one of the initiators of the band mats for leader of the governing liberal party is convinced the niqab has to be prohibited even though fewer than two hundred women are affected they find no middle ground. you're very ignorant about your house i'm sure we are all over the loss of this as i'm saying we don't know why i'm saying we love it why we need to protect against the values i'm saying we live in denmark it's very sad in denmark we have the freedom of religion. the discussion escalates into an argument formats the kneecaps stance for the oppression of women that's why he

thinks it should be banned. the cop in the shop on the garments of that thought all instruments. to an end and that end is so for control of women and the not if occasion of the female candidate and we want to fight that the ban on face coverings is one of several laws the government says it has introduced to integrate immigrants some critics say it will only divide society further and in the end to veils are rarely seen in the streets of denmark. sarah describes the new compass a sign of religious humility but if she remains faithful to her beliefs she faces a difficult future in denmark her idea of religious freedom could end in isolation within her own four walls. watching t.v. news still to come it's one of the german capitals major parts of beds the tent

powered by green energy and so the club have signed up for a united nations initiative called climate neutral now. so we become the first sports club in the world to be climate neutral according to the un which is quite exciting and. i feel would do more with them i think we will because they're on the same page as we are sport looks to be a great vehicle to carry this is going to be the message. the united nations hopes that for screens carbon neutral footprint will set a precedent for others to follow. through we're working on these sports for climate that shown in egypt there where we hope you all are going to say shows we'll also step up and i won't carry action on climate and for as we have always will be definitely an example that we share the. big green credentials and also be matched by strong performances on the pitch for screamer recently promoted to the english football league for the first time in the history. of the

berlin be a nala is a contemporary art exhibition that takes place every two years here in the german capital modern art exhibitions are often controversial and this one is no exception but it's not just the art that's being questioned robin merrill from our culture desk is here to tell us all about it so robert what's the fuss all about this year well it's the team of curation as you see there made up of very experienced people the head of the team is from. here in germany the rest the courageous are from uganda brazil south africa and as it happens they're all black but actually that really that's not the problem is not really a racist thing in the fact is they have chosen mostly african art or office with african heritage and i mean all i can say about is i think that's rather exciting really for us there isn't a lot of european art in the b. and. old and i would also say that in benard as in the past in these big

exhibitions all over europe the team of curators has most probably many many times been purely white and nobody said a thing about is you know of course they have and we are living in the twenty first century we are living in a europe that his multicultural now so there should be a problem with it anyway let's that's me over with my standing on my soap box let's concentrate on some of the arts that is international say as chose. a ruine incredibly true to life this work is made of pure mâché and is called to see it's the name of both an imperial palace in haiti and the famous palace of frederick the great in potsdam the work connects history and continents. chief curator gabi good kobo is fed up with the white western perspective her team is black and international a statement but not of intent they refused to restrict their focus to post colonial

and racial issues. there's a certainty about that something which always crops up which we consciously try to resist with our written statements to we make a point of not using words like africa colonialism post-colonialism multiculturalism diversity and so on. we don't need another hero is the slogan of the b.n. allah egyptian artist i mean shares this opinion in her installation she has different heads of state talking about major geo strategic projects around the mediterranean match oh politics. i mean counteracts this with a highly political vision the mediterranean is being drained under supercontinent is developing europe africa will all be one. it's not just about draining the mediterranean sea but it's about moving it into the african continent

so we then take claim of the mediterranean sea in the way that these kind of colonial proposals did how do we then control the narrative of migration we can then decide who gets to pass the boundary of water we get to kind of control you know all things from the resource the tourism and whatever the berlin be and i was launched twenty years ago here in the quince to back and now everything looks very elegant but back then it looked more like this. the destroyed world the heart wrenching song by nina simone. the joint work by different artists. do we come from how do we see ourselves and. to want to extend to we phoned culture country and which story are we telling. ambiguous and astute. that lingers in the mind.

or lingering in the mind there the belly not of this year has a title we don't need another hero and in our piece there we saw a reference or we you know we obviously saw the connection to macho politics but it's not just referring to that is it is not i mean obviously it's from the tina turner song. this was from the film mad max thunderdome which was in a pocket lit to coal i mean i don't think things are as bad as the hats but i think it's tending to bring over that things are as bad as we think or as indeed we in the media are portraying of what's going on in the world at the moment the point is we don't need a savior we don't need a hero we can sort it out all cells and i think we're seeing in this exhibition explores the potential of the act of self preservation we have to look after

ourselves which. i think is generally a lot of positivity coming out of this be and not a very different to the last one which was. also i think also what's good from the curators it's not adhering to the typical western historical sort of narratives it's very refreshing a different outlook which is exactly what i think they planned this curators sounds all very encouraging and optimistic that if people are coming to berlin looking for the belly now where will they find it they will find it all over. well it's actually in five different venues the main one is the academy to. brandenburg gate but basically go to a website d.w. dot com slash culture you'll see what's on and if you do comes a bill in for the voted be allow anyone. robin merrill from our culture the us thanks so much. forward just a quick reminder the top stories we're following for you on the news u.s.

hijacking the news. where i come from the news is being hijacked journalism itself has become a scripted reality show it's not just good versus evil us versus them black and white. in countries like russia china church people are told it's us enough and if you're a journalist there and you try to get beyond it you are facing scare tactics intimidation. and i wonder is that where we're headed as well. my responsibility as a journalist is to get beyond the smoke and mirrors it's not just about being mayor for balance or being neutral it's about being truthful. when he was more involved and i were giving up.
