this is due to the news live from berlin international leaders called for restraint in zimbabwe after the military opens fire on opposition protesters who say the government feel action will have the latest from harare. also coming out lebanon is trying to encourage syrian refugees to return to their country but what about those who oppose the assad regime we hear from one woman fearing for her future. and face off in copenhagen danish protesters take to the streets to show their opposition to a new law banning muslim face veil.

i'm sumi so much going to get to have you with us international leaders are calling for calm in zimbabwe after the military shot dead three demonstrators in the capital harare the government deployed the army to disperse opposition protesters angry at what they say was electoral fraud by the rulings and party. soldiers firing live rounds and zimbabwe's capital. the army into the streets of harare mid afternoon reportedly at the request of the police. the country's justice minister said the military had been deployed to maintain peace and tranquility and accused opposition supporters of going on a rampage however the protesters claim they didn't start the violence. it was going on. i just want to emphasize the demonstration that.

the crackdown came after a day of protest in the capital people were taken to the streets to protest a delay in the release of the results of presidential polling. crowds gathered outside the offices of the country's electoral commission to demand the release and things quickly turned violent the electoral commission called for patience verifying the vote was more complicated than expected the commission chairwoman said the unusually high number of candidates was causing delays in the verification process. but a spokesman for the opposition said the situation was unacceptable and suggested that something unusual was going on it is everyone the citizens right to demand that the results operate used in reasonable time ok the fact that the results far right essential that it's just next door just have not been released by up but by midday today is inappropriate and suggests that something wrong is opening we've

been here before. as tensions remain high in the country the international community is becoming increasingly concerned with governments calling for restraint on all sides. melanie corps of the ball is following the latest developments for us from harare hi melanie good to see you now last night the government promised to continue the crackdown on protesters what if things been like on the streets this morning. the situation has calmed down considerably here sumi off to the outbreak of violence yesterday but the army is still very present the government has been saying that their police seventy thousand police officers have been employed throughout the election that they are on the staff and that the army needs to remain in place until there is no more indication of protest so basically we are in a silent state of emergency here melanie when are we expected to get the results from the presidential vote. but constitutionally the last day

to get those results is saturday that's the date when they have really have to tell us who the president is but the results could come in early and of course there has been pressure on the zimbabwean electoral commission to release the results today we are expecting them if they do give us the results today to do that more towards the evening though to avoid clashes and outbreaks of violence and demonstrations that happened yesterday similarly we saw in a report the opposition says the parliamentary vote was stolen and that the same is going to happen to the presidential vote do they have any reason to doubt the validity of the selection. well i mean if you look at past elections they have all been rigged so of course looking at the history of this country this is always a possibility the m.d.c. is considerably concerned because there have been some irregularities throughout the election and they didn't have the funds to send their own polling agencies to

some areas of the country and yes when it comes to the presidential vote that has been a delay they are worried now that the forms which have to come in from eleven thousand polling stations what's the results on route to harare could be subject to fraud of course we can't confirm the claims yet but the fear is here. melanie credible for us from harare melanie good to talk to you. now syrian president bashar assad says his army is close to victory in the country's civil war his regime now holds around two thirds of syrian territory with kurdish groups controlling much of the rest with the war in syria apparently winding down refugees abroad have faced greater and greater pressure to go home lebanon is currently hosting roughly one point five million syrian refugees the country has the highest proportion of syrian refugees in the world did he travel to

the town of ourselves where we need syrian refugee and her children the assad government killed her husband and there's no way back for her and her family but work and she go our correspondent reports. it was not a voyage of the imagined undertaking but the mother of eight and grandmother of three children was forced to flee her syrian home. to take refuge in the town of ourselves just across the border. although it happened five years ago the memories are still fresh this is my son. husband and son killed in the syrian war. beginning of the uprising protests were not violent and they were peaceful but my husband was killed because he took part in the my son was with the regime army doing his compulsory service in the syrian intelligence service killed him because he. who fears the assad regime

but the pressure from lebanon to leave is building some three thousand syrians have already registered to return but i can never go back to syria. she is especially worried about this man. is a member of the syrian committee tasked with collecting the names of billing return is and sending the list to damascus for approval who is suspicious that the government mitali the names with those who protested against the regime and neither of us them upon arrival or refuse them approval to return but golson denies the charge. it's not a condition not an issue of approval it's just about informing the government of the names of the people returning. he claims syria is now safe and to convince us

he asked one of the refugees who've applied to return to talk to us do you want to go back of course what's keeping me here but it doesn't go quite as he was sought so he is confronted by angry syrians that jobs are going back to syria safely is impossible. he shows his broad scars the military did this while still a leader. but lebanon's government is eager to push out one of million syrian refugees so many say they may be forced to look at europe again. and her friends are among those thinking about making the journey to your other but they know that it won't be easy but the risk of reprisal by assad security forces is high but. one of the ladies has just heard of the arrest of her sister by the syrian regime. i

want to migrate to europe for the future of my children and i applied to the us that they didn't help me other than. they had mobile smugglers want one thousand euros for the trip and i when i said that if your name isn't it meant that i feel. who don't doesn't walk she would do react and many here are facing a similar dilemma. it may be too soon to say if there will be a second wave of refugees to europe but the conditions are right. for now despite all the hardship best bit seems to be never known if the lebanese. not some of the other stories making headlines around the world authorities in the democratic republic of congo say four more people have tested positive for the ebola virus in the country's northeast the outbreak in north kivu province close the ugandan border has already claimed twenty lives the cases come just days after another outbreak in the northwest of the d.r. c. was declared over. the u.s.

president donald trump has called on attorney general just sessions to end the high profile investigation into russian election meddling tweeted quote sessions should stop this rigged witch hunt right now before it continues to stain our country any further sessions recused himself from the investigation last year. the remains of what are thought to be fifty five u.s. servicemen killed in the korean war have arrived in the united states vice president mike pence attended the ceremony and why he said president trump was grateful to north korean leader kim jong un for fulfilling a promise made at the two leaders summit in june. here in germany bavaria has become the first state to open controversial new processing centers for refugees authorities want to hold asylum seekers there while their applications are processed which can take up to eighteen months they will deport anyone who's rejected critics say the system will stigmatize new arrivals.

for many refugees arriving in germany in future this is what home will look like this reception facility in a former u.s. army barracks in the bavarian city of bam bag is the model for the new refugee centers to be known as anchor centers the acronym anchor stands for a rival decision and return the key idea various departments which look at asylum applications will all be together in one place migration agency labor office welfare or thora t. even the courts the claim is that will mean applications are dealt with more quickly. with these centers the migration agency will in most cases be able to issue documents in three or three and a half months whether people are to be granted refugee status or rejected them this new approach is the latest chapter in germany's effort to deal with migration since the increase in the numbers fleeing to europe and the government's decision in

twenty fifteen to open the borders the challenge of making migration on this scale work has become clear in many cases it has taken too long for people to find out whether they have a chance of staying in germany and that in turn has held up any chance of them finding a job or integrating into society. the residents of the anchor facilities will be able to leave to go shopping or for other reasons despite that critics say they are tantamount to deportation centers. these are for shelf plan is to open these facilities all across germany or in most parts of the country that will lead to a massive worsening of conditions for asylum seekers. currently holds around fourteen hundred migrants if things go smoothly similar centers may be opened in other parts of germany. in denmark people have held protests against a ban on full face veils that came into force yesterday the so-called burqa or

niqab ban prevents people from covering their faces in public denmark follows other european countries which have introduce such a ban including france and belgium. as soon as their faces may be masked but their outrage is on display over a thousand protesters marched through copenhagen in defiance of denmark's new ban on facial coverings they say the lord infringes on freedoms of religion and expression and the right to dress as they choose i said is a discriminating law it's of searchlights a law that doesn't make sense in practice i really hate this law i think is so embarrassing and i cannot stand being a citizen in this so-called democracy where this kind of of the mosque protestors and those wearing burkas and the cabs can now be fined more than one hundred euros for more than a thousand euros for repeat offenses opponents say the real price will be paid by

danish society we actually live it seeing our freedoms our liberal freedom rights in a society to dress like we want to write what you want and sell falls so so i think its meaning a dangerous step to take the majority in the parliament has done with this law because what is that what is coming next what is off to this supporters of the law held their own demonstration they say the ban upholds secular and democratic values and combat's fundamentalist islam. will want to take a stand against political islam against the fundamentalists in our society that we have some people who believe that their in their right to wear a headscarf would call this all of the face so we are not able to see their faces or she is not able to see their face on this war want to take a stand against. an estimated two hundred muslim women in denmark where facial coverings some say they plan to carry on despite the ban. if you.

know that i'm going out. facing people and. everything but in my believe in from heart. com i think i will be in the same as i was doing it's now up to danish police to decide if and when to enforce the ban. in ukraine hate crimes against roma people are on the rise in june a twenty four year old roma man was killed when masked assailants attacked a forest camp right wing extremists bragged about the deed by posting videos of the attack on the internet in economy visited roma villages in western ukraine and talked with some of the survivors of racist incidents. this is how it all began in april twenty eighth four rightly july auntie's attacked a roma camp and the ukrainian capital kiev copycat attacks soon followed across the

country in late june twenty three year old david pappa was stabbed more than a dozen times in the western city of leave his death provoked an outcry inside and outside ukraine's borders the teenage suspect now in custody but how could this have been allowed to happen i what has become the survivors. where in the village where david pappa grew up from here it's just a matter of kilometers to ukraine's western frontier with hungry it's a backyard the region is home to ukraine's biggest roma community many of them live in extreme poverty since the attacks people here have become wary of strangers and it's only with the help of pastor fed your progress that we are allowed in it takes us to meet david perhaps with you boy it's the first time she's spoken publicly about her husband's murder he says when those teenagers came to attack our camp they didn't say a word they just started going at us with their nods i beg them there are children

here but they just started attacking us even more viciously my husband was lying dead in front of me after that i lost consciousness. on the day of our visit the boy received a call from the police and we've asked her to testify in court she refused the fish she says is too great since the attacks police have responded to requests from community leaders to step up their patrols and roam the district. miroslav part of what is a roma community leader and a local councillor in the past most of his work was about helping roma people gain access to basic government services many here don't even have a birth certificate let alone a passport mustered in recent months he's been confronted with a totally new set of problems as the victims of the attacks come to him looking for support. i don't understand where this hatred comes from we've never seen anything like it was kind of open discrimination these kinds of attacks. we need to get around to solving the roma communities problems now we're not just kick the can

down the road. miroslav takes us on a visit to ride a roma community on the edge of. there we meet claro a survivor of one of the attacks in libya. old people and children they smashed my brother in law's head in and just left him for dead but i don't want the attackers to go to prison prison doesn't make people any better they were just kids after all . it's a point of view we hear time and time again whether people here are ready to forgive or simply fear further escalation we can't get a clear answer as we continue our walk through red phone call with miroslav the atmosphere suddenly turns there's been a break in the political church and suspicion is poland and the inhabitants of this road community woman fear if he wants them they'll give it all back.

someone broke into the church. to have pictures. we never do find out how the investigation ends but now the police leave without making any arrest at a time when the roma community need the police to protect the more than ever relations with law enforcement attends a moderate suspicion. that he is an economy reporting their time for some business with their heart and ministers of ten southeast asian nations are holding talks in that singapore to the top of the agenda asian meeting the escalating trade dispute between the us and china obviously it's become a conflict with the potential to do harm to many of the regions economies the latest salvo from the u.s. is giving today's talks fresh urgency. the gathering is taking place amid continuing bad news for members of the

association of southeast asian nations or the un the us just announced plans to raise its latest round of tariffs on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese imports from ten to twenty five percent. as part of china's growing export supply chain the asean nations stand to lose big in any trade war. a full scale conflict could slash singapore's growth next year by half the host country's leader warned the association to brace itself rules based multilateral trading system which has underpinned us hands of growth and prosperity is under pressure it's important that us and continue to support the monkey through system and work with like minded partners to deepen our weapon corporation. southeast asian nations tighten their ties with china following us withdraw from the free trade trans-pacific partnership now they're pursuing a china backed regional trade agreement with pacific powers excluding the us

singapore's prime minister said it could be signed by the end of the year. and let's have a look at the european front of the us trade story the european commission all says u.s. soybean imports to the e.u. have almost quadrupled commission president john clode younger i held it up as a sign the e.u. is delivering on promises made to president obama trump last week in an apparent effort to dodge a trade war between the two sides donald trump has certainly disrupted global trade flows especially when it comes to soybeans u.s. soybean farmers have seen prices for their produce plunged by twenty percent after their prime export market china imposed high tariffs in retaliation for u.s. tariffs on chinese goods the trade has almost ceased. the e.u. was quick to take advantage of the cheap the u.s. crop something that must have been clear to commission president john claude younker last week when he promised trump the e.u. would step up u.s.

soybean imports the latest figures show that that process was already well underway . today that you can commit commission has published the latest figures on e.u. imports of soybeans showing an increase of two hundred eighty three percent in imports of say abuse from the u.s. bringing that use to a sheriff in parts of u.s. soybeans to thirty seven percent from nine percent just one year ago washington had already promised twelve billion dollars to compensate farmers hurt by the dispute with china but with harvest time approaching many of the most still uncertain i think there's maybe just a little bit of comfort there knowing the administration is backing farmers but you know longer we're out looking for any kind of an aid package we want markets to work and markets to be. china was us soybean farmers main market and it's

doubtful increased e.u. imports can make up for the loss so beings made up sixty percent of u.s. agricultural exports to the country beijing meantime has ramped up domestic production and lowered import tariffs on other producers and one side effect of the dispute is that countries like brazil are emerging as the winners brazilian soybean exports to china soared twenty five percent in june. now let's bring in holger schmieding the chief economist at bear them back buying a former u.s. soybeans were mainly imported by china that trade now a war is now haut has europe become a not so one with unwitting trump ally against china. well maybe too big a word but it's true that europe has offered already months ago to the us to forget about the u.s. european trade war but to jointly focus on changing some discriminatory practices of china and the you know the u.s. seems to know of half accepted that offer yes they are working together how will

that affect e.u. china trade relations. i don't think it will have a major effect on these relations these relations have always been slightly marred by european concerns that china is not to dealing with for instance issues of intellectual property they have always been marred by europe in. the accusations that china is not fully respecting the rights of european companies in china so it should not be really new to china that it's not just the u.s. but also europe that has some concerns about chinese practices i hope however that europe is not going to be as disruptive as trump well do you recognize any strategy there how is it is it just disruption and who benefits from it. it's difficult to see a real strategy behind what from his doing he seems to have kind of a pattern he tries to does wrapped things with his tweets with his utterances and

then see how play pieces fall into place after words he's given to occasional u. turns strategy is too big a word but to rock the boat and then see what happens afterwards is probably your description it looks like a he's gambling all the time would he be successful in disrupting free trade in using europe to help with the trouble with china. well so far we have seen a lot of disruption we've seen a lot of noise we have not seen much progress instead we have seen terrorists being imposed including steel aluminum terrace on the e.u. there's a good chance that if the u.s. indeed now works with the e.u. to put pressure on china so that china changes some of its practices there is a good chance that that actually may have a positive result as china ultimately is the weaker of these three partners in trade terms very briefly if you can do you see an end somewhere to this area for.

yes i do see an end to that i hope that we come to an end before the end of this year already as probably china will have to settle at some point in time others meeting their chief economist of the bear and back bank thank you very much. you're welcome. the american economy is sinking deeper into the reds in the second quarter of this year they lost seven hundred twenty million dollars that's twice as much as they lost in the second quarter of last year now company c.e.o. elon musk wants to ramp up production of the model three model a more affordable model designed for the mass market in a letter to shareholders musk wants to build ten thousand units a week tesla is on the great pressure to produce more cars but various setbacks have led to difficulties on the production line and less vehicles produced and plant. d.w.
