this is news coming to you live from berlin almost one hundred dead internees a second earthquake in a week but the death still is expected to rise with hundreds of long broken body was defective duracell reason to be evacuated the damage to infrastructure has little things down we have an eyewitness report coming up. a new genre demonstrators taking to the streets again soaring inflation in stores does of the tensions and things to get us with the us to reinforce sanctions.

and in zimbabwe the families very did dead from last week's post election violence one of them was filled them up yourself who shot dead in the back forces we have a special report. in the next sixty minutes the deadly potential drone. after an apparent drone assassination attempt on venezuela's president. many more such attacks. and japan remembers he was seventy three years ago the day that the u.s. dropped an atomic bomb on the city instantly killing more than.

a warm welcome to you i'm. at least nine hundred people have died in the earthquake that struck indonesia on sunday night the holiday items of long balkan bali hit hundreds of people have also been injured many in the north of long balkan thousands made homeless the region has been rocked by numerous aftershocks the six point nine magnitude quake struck as many people were having their. picnic time in long locals and tourists alike were packed into restaurants when suddenly the floor gave white. all the power went out almost immediately people ran out into the straits it was just a wake since the last time a tremor brought destruction here and this one was even worse but.

we ran out from our house twice two times. everyone ran out because the quakes were very strong. as the knot drew on rescuers began pulling the dead and injured from beneath collapsed buildings first responders were overwhelmed across the nation's holiday islands local residents joined emergency services pulling the injured out by hand. well i'm not going on a ten foot that they're going to come ok. and over one hundred aftershocks forced authorities to take dramatic measures at bally's main hospital the injured were treated in the open air and. so now we have placing patients here in the parking lot and the gymnastics yard plus in areas near the hospital that do good to us not evil as dawn broke indignation authorities were still rushing to remote areas. on the gillie islands northwest of low but terrified people packed onto the beach white and fold them up to two it's quite soon two weeks people are desperate to

leave they fear the trauma could trigger a tsunami. even though authorities say there's little chance of that right now. they always want to go out somewhere safe somewhere and know that the risk is not so. clever that it's. bali lombok a prone to earthquakes all the same millions of tourists visit them every year now the russians in the other direction the airports have packed with people wanting to go home. and for the very latest to have bought a group in jakarta i think a which authorities saying to you about the situation and yes like number. well the chairman of the disaster management agency has said the death count from the most recent earthquake is up to ninety eight and there will definitely be more they have not encountered yet so far the death toll does not include any foreigners and

about ten thousand foreigners have been evacuated already because these are both popular holiday islands but there are at least ten thousand more of trying and waiting to be evacuated there's simply not the capacity and what i mean challenges facing risk youth teams and relief agencies. the main challenge is the scale of displacement especially when residents of lombok taking a holiday or it's because they are being taken care of in shelters and they have suffered nearly all of the casualties so as despite the come so quickly after the last one the personnel is quite short so it's very intensive situation right now in lombok and even so in bali where two people died over it and how we wanted to be think about more aftershocks as you said there was another similar earthquake in the region just last week. it's ongoing to have been over one hundred already since yesterday but indonesia is on the ring of fire so there is almost always seismic

activity going on the frequency of these two major earthquakes in a tourist area is what is notable but the sharks are going to probably go on for some time especially because the magnitude yesterday was six point nine zero just by a high and number can buy. a huge tourist tubs not the height of the tourist season there right now what kind of advice is being given to visitors there are several foreign affairs offices like the u.k. have the travel advisories and the state websites against traveling to these high risk areas and tourists are deathly not allowed to go within a certain radius of the active volcanoes in bali and long dark. you know there's no probation at this time the airports are running and flights are running as normal but it's very likely based on the last example we have are going in bali was smoking last year there was a huge drop in tourism in the subsequent months so you're probably going see

something quite similar in lombok especially because last week five hundred hikers were stranded on the most popular destination along by which is the volcano in melbourne jockey so these two islands but especially lombok which is smaller than bali i can see. a decrease in tourist back to be for months to come us like. to think a lot of good in jakarta thank you very much for that update. now earlier i spoke to the general to come relay who's from canada and on holiday in long book with the family i asked to tell us first what she did experience during the earthquake. we were staying and our fellow we had just returned from dinner we had been in the room for about ten minutes when we started to feel the floor start to shake and then the walls started to crack and we could hear glass shattering and everything was just moving all around we it

was very intense so very difficult situation no i used stock on what have you been to what would happen now and maybe you can go. as far as we know for right now we're stuck as soon as the quake hit last night almost everybody that was here started trying to book flights and fast boats all of the flights booked up within minutes and we can't seem to get on anything until maybe wednesday. the fast boats are not running so we are going to look into a slow ferry tomorrow but we've been given sort of different accounts of what's happening at the port so first let's say you have an additional challenge. and i understand that this trip was on your bucket list can you tell me what brought you to indonesia. my daughter's been fighting cancer most of her life.

her cancer recently came back for the fourth time and when we reached the end of our treatment options we my husband and i decided to quit our jobs and take our kids to see the world and bucket list and bally and lombok were on our bucket list so of emotional time for you there jen what have you been seeing that do they want is it around you and what's happening to the new way you and what kind of head are you getting from officials in the qualities. it's been an emotional day there's a lot of stuff here at the hotel where we're staying that have lost their homes sixteen staff members there's a lot of damage to the hotel we're on the main route for the emergency vehicles to go by so it's been a constant stream of. first responders we've had a ton of aftershocks so it's been it's been a very unsettling and stressful day the hotel and authorities are doing their best

they can to update us but there's a lot of we don't know and in our situation we're not really capable of just going to a port the port to sit outside for five hours in the heat with our daughter so we're just standing by in a waiting. to give us a sense agenda how is your family coping with this and that you desire to give him the gun if in especially conditions that you have that you're facing that. well i think it was very shocking and emotional because you know maybe our our senses are a little heightened and we're living on maybe a different level level of stress. the kids you know have faced a lot of death in their life but this just felt really out of their control and i think that they had a really big eye opener and they were very scared sad

a big shock for them jim montgomery maybe wish you all of us from all the very best to you and your family and thank you very much for talking to us today about your experiences and what you went through thank you. that's been a big diff with some of the stories making news around the wild. sen has said he would stake his life on the accuracy of recent election results the poll was widely criticised after his party claim to have won all hundred and twenty five parliamentary seats using dramatic language once and said he would be prepared to die if the vote was falsified he has been in power for more than thirty years. in japan a dead blue whale has forced up on a beach south of tokyo scientists are preparing to desex the mammoth to find out why the way a young male died only one half to two and a half thousand blue whale still exist off to commercial whaling nearly wiped them

out. iran's government has hit back at the u.s. over sanctions due to be introduced from tomorrow foreign minister. if said the u.s. was isolating itself internationally by bullying iran to fight the sanctions the government is easing foreign exchange strongs actions to allow iranians to bring in currency and go it iranians have been protesting over the economic hardship many are facing. first six days in a row now iranians have taken to the streets in protest in cities across the country they're angry about high prices and the government they accuse iran's politicians of mismanagement and corruption leading the country into ruin. however not everyone is marching some feel helpless like his son. he's certain that his life won't get better any time soon.

and i don't know what became of the u.s. sanctions is. all i know is that for iranians everything is getting worse the sanctions just hit alternately people who are poor anyway like me the rich ones. food prices have risen by forty percent in just a few months and few people can afford to buy meat even the prices of bread have soared iran's currency has plunged in value since may when the united states pulled out of the nuclear deal and threatened iran with new sanctions and the reaal has lost seventy percent of its value against the euro with disastrous consequences for a rainy and. things like eggs tomatoes and bread that with food stamps we could still afford to buy when you can't even pay for a cucumber and that's really bad fruit became too expensive long ago.

sharpening rhetoric between iran and the u.s. also has people worried despite a recent surprising proposal by donald trump. 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 deal it was a ridiculous deal. taran hasn't directly replied to trump suggestion but some international media report a meeting might happen in new york at the next general assembly of the united nations. meanwhile the iranian people continue to hope for a resolution to their problems. and let's see what all of this means of business and for that. demand is still very high for equipment especially industrial equipment from places like germany but many foreign companies the moment a taking or having second thoughts about doing business with tehran because of the

new sanctions that are coming of course the european union is saying that it will do everything it can to ensure that trade stays open. as the middle east director of german packaging machines maker multivac amir's so today often works weekends too. he's based gene for packaging fresh dates demand remains high in around for state of the art equipment. but since washington announced its withdrawal from the around nuclear deal and new sanctions amir so today has been struggling to make money in his native iran we see recent developments or changes. i would say it's more mental. difficulties into the market and lots of banks even again and lots of investors are just watching and observing what we do future because that's a student not to have it can be a picture for any big company is how it goes. hopes were high when iran emerged

from international isolation three years ago following the signing of the nuclear agreement in business terms of a market with eighty million consumers together with huge demand and potential for a modern infrastructure and production machinery while there have been preliminary talks and very tentative plans on joint ventures so far new international investment has barely materialized likewise based in dubai swiss consultant z. mon funda advises european firms looking to do business in iran. he's noticed a growing number of companies getting cold feet since president trumps threats to punish those trading with iran. they also want to know what its commitment required to do good business in iran is enormous despite the profits to be potentially made right now companies see the costs involved as too great a risk. sukhoi says. sales manager amir so today can

only hope for better times for now he's continuing to offer after sales service to his a rainy and customers even if currently they cannot buy any of the machines each costing several hundred thousand euros. we're getting more difficult because everybody can see iran business and we don't like to do. any transaction with iran so unless of course some still don't know how to pay for our service charges and how can support . and those who do become european technology using demand in iranian industry but chinese and russian firms are ready to fill any gap in supply which for multivac would mean a serious loss in business. and joins us now she represents german businesses in iran how well positioned on the chinese and russians as as we heard there to fill any gap left by west and. as far as i

see chinese russian companies are ready to fill in the gap. and it's really a pity because times terming companies only very well known and everybody . was looking for made in germany. so at the moment you know a lot of space to china and. other germans really giving up that easily on iran i mean do they have to follow the u.s. as late. i mean they don't really give up. they have to wind down as it is. president because you know a lot of touring companies have been in the u.s. and they started business in iran so if they can perfect two markets they have no

other choice than to eat iran but they don't need forever as they try to stay as far as they can to to build out their business off the birds again. the sanctions were never totally lifted and business hadn't even picked up significantly how's it going to build out their business off the birds again. the sanctions were never totally lifted a business hadn't even picked up significantly how's it going to change now what's going to change now i mean what is going to change is that it's informant times it has been challenging. business in iran but now it has got dangerous because no. company can dare to small. they can't bear even to be sanctioned themselves it's no question if they have the choice i have to they have to leave. and come november

when when the sanctions are tighten even though i mean. what i fear is that it's business. and at all or not and at the same time i really hope that on a political level there will be a change and. yes political. find a way to talk to each of us that's really my hope and it is really important to me and i will tell doug from bornstein thank you very much for joining us here and he dealt with. and i'll have more business for you later on in the show including the costs of corruption for ukrainians thank you very much ben. turning now to zimbabwe where tensions are still running high a week off the country went to the poets the victory of the zanu p.f.

parties being disputed by the opposition m.d.c. now as the country struggles to recover from post-election violence religious leaders have been put on o.p.'s parties being disputed by the opposition m.d.c. now as the country struggles to recover from post-election violence religious leaders have been praying for peace it's a difficult time specially for those burying their dead correspondents and men in the. increase sent us this report. was that friends and family paid their respects to suzy on the force on her final journey the mother of two was kittens and properest post-election violence last week she was on her way home when she got caught in the crossfire hit in the back by soldiers bullets it's the death of brother joshua much amber still can't believe. she was the breadwinner in the family.

for the. good sister. were just the. just. hype or to the top and. to the much but if this was. the wednesday the position m.d.c. supporters took to the streets and were met was brutal violence by zimbabwe's smooth water cannons tear gas rubber bullets and life any mission to crackdown on opposition demonstrators. president elect emerson has promised consequences that was. where some people lost their lives. institute and in the end it. do you introduce these fears of violence have been subsided the opposition is vowing to challenge the election results nelson chamisa insists the presidency is

his. blue pencil. business. and goes to make sure that we. will split but so far has not provided any evidence to back up his claims and the tense situation life in harare is only slowly getting back to the. many people in the capital stills gets scared just speak out scats to criticise the government or the security forces after last week's violent clashes many feel that the time of god who ruled the country for thirty seven years with an iron fist might be done but that his legacy of brutal repression still lives on. was. among those afraid to point fingers over his sister's this. i. was.

among those afraid to point fingers over his sister's this. i i. not i would think that. once this little comfort in the fact that the deaths have sparked outrage since happiness across the country as they mourn they suspect the government is just hoping that the dust settles as quickly as possible. an investigation is underway in venezuela after what president nicolas maduro schooling an assassination attempt several drones on with explosives a few to want to give a speech at a military parade in caracas at the weekend video that shows two explosions officials say seven soldiers were injured while details remain scarce the attack

highlights the deadly potential of june technology. joining me now is a very welcome even though we've just seen this video showing an alleged assassination attempt on venezuela's president what is your assessment of this incident was a trivia case of drones being used to carry explosives yeah good afternoon and thanks for having me this is very interesting incident that happened and it's an incident that many of our experts have been warning for is that it was about to happen it was not a matter of question of if it would happen but when it would happen although there are still there are still need for more details independently verified or if this was actually in a text which were thrown it does seem to indicate based on difficulties we have seen that drones have been used but we don't know yet to what extent they have been actively equipped with military grade explosives but in least they had an impact on

scaring the crowd and have severely impact all the security told the president. if it is confirmed that this is was the case of a drone being used with explosives it would be the first time that a president has been targeted using this technology what i'll be implications of such a development. what we've seen that non-state armed groups over the last four or five years have been stepping up their efforts and using this time to thank i don't think knowledge be so remote controlled commercial easily available. off the shelf drones that can be equipped with all kinds of payloads including explosives in particular the islamic state in iraq has been very innovative in deploying to and suppressing. iraqi army with hundreds of thrones and several effects throughout the last conflict in the last four years and we see other also other armed groups speaking up the same kind of technology so mexican drug cartels other islamist

groups and you know in the middle east have been used by separate separatist groups in the ukraine to target munition storage facilities and we have seen is a learning better from these groups to deploy commercial or cheap technology and some be able to disrupt the nice and we've seen is a learning better from these groups to deploy commercial or cheap technology and some be able to disrupt the military operations but we also do it is just a commitment or of waiting for when there will be an attack taking place inside for example the west or on the countries but i think also we have to we have to be careful because especially in the case of venezuela if it was the case there was a group that used military grade explosives like c four as was indicated then you already have a problem because if you have and if you have a group that has access to these kind of explosives they can also use in other ways

but in this case they they have. to make it a make them able to go to directly to a person of interest to a very interesting information there and then that's fine and back from the european forum on jones thank you very much for sharing your expertise with us. he was in the news coming up ahead of course to say for those stones into a mass protest movement in bangor this but authorities move to silence critics we look at who's been targeted in the crackdown. that and more coming up shortly you're watching the w.'s live from burning. coal wrong ones and isolated the city no major power in the middle east to ron's consonance continues to grow

a little economically and above all militarily. does iran coming want to couture's opponents who have their doubts iran from ffion procedure bridgeable sukkot want to be on w. house a lot of. people make fun about their own social economic and political problems. in mozambique the state that you have lost so you don't write it's help people because we think daily problems. as a journalist i often talk about these folks and that binds me to let's look at you know. i like to start my day by checking all to all those jokes finding out what people have talking about what is moving that. my father taught me how to ask and confront the book questions about my country and about books that is what i keep

doing to do is fake my name is fadi suv and i work at. these creations. this brand mistake again. this is. a great pleasure to have you with. tourists having evacuated. earthquake in a week. with

a holiday on. the. house. and iranians have protested for many days in a row about the economic problems that. hits this week the iranian government is lifting restrictions on using hot. as it tries to. police have arrested a well known photographer after he gave a television interview that was critical of the government show had accused the prime minister on sunday of using brute force against protests tens of thousands of students have been demonstrating in the capital demanding better safety. now ninth day were triggered by the deaths of two pedestrians who were killed after they were kicked by

a speeding bus at the weekend the police fired rubber bullets and tear gas at students injuring hundreds. more the story let's cross over to our correspondent. from. it often tell us more about. the circumstances behind his arrest. should follow me is one of the most prominent social activist in buying of this huge just photograph me as a form of activism and has never been shy of criticizing dealt with it is on human rights violations and distinctions on the freedom of expression along was very active shooting the ongoing student protests that have rocked the country he went live on facebook to deport the clashes between pro-government activist and student protesters just hours after he spoke. about the protest police officer shells in plain clothes picked him up from his home in taka on sunday night. and tell us

more about this protest which are going on and talk about what other students demanding and is the government open to that him on. the borders to any demand for road safety and they want to use the roads public in a safe way and they want to make sure that they are safe there well the government has been using excessive force us to clear the protesters from those states it has also hinted today it is willing to listen to students to demand to do prime minister shake us and ask a minute after up and down sport law to offer that. makes them on punishment for reckless driving for five years in prison from three also that drive to doesn't exclude the possibility of good sentence for davis that intentionally killed someone over the course just are also demanding that this ignition off the minister for his controversial remarks about those student protest but the government hasn't paid heed to these two one so how do you see these protests developing and the

government has agreed to some of the monster but not all of them do you see these protests escalating in the country. well in fact yes because the protests are launched by your school students on july twenty ninth to improve road safety as you know there are large steep useful in the beginning but when they offered it is a started using force to buy a school students on july twenty ninth to improve road safety as you know their last trip useful in the beginning but when they offered it is a started using force to disperse them their town to poland many students suffered injuries on friday following an after condemned by police and pro-government activists and that changed the situation dramatically as a university students to today's kids the following day in solidarity with the school students now the protests have been a speeding across the country with people from different walks of life participating in them. right off. thank you very much for that

thank you people from different walks of life participating in them. right off. thank you very much for that thank you japan this mark the anniversary of the atomic bombing of hiroshima seventy three years ago today the us has nuclear attack on the city and three days later in nagasaki kids more than two hundred thousand people and to japan surrender and the end of the second world war decades on hiroshima has become a symbol of the devastating effects of all. hj. e.u. a moment of silence near ground zero. tens of thousands paid tribute to the victims of the world's first atomic bomb attack. at the ceremony the mare of hiroshima warned against forgetting the past with nationalism and nuclear armament on the

a better life but a report by the german newspapers or tortured sight all reveals how widespread graft still is even corrupt customs officials cost the state billions of euros every year. the report says the black sea port of a desert is a hub of corruption many of the containers customs declarations are falsified zippers become shoelaces because shoelaces only pay a fraction in customs tariffs the charges are laid bare in documents made available to german dailies that doj sites on. papers are routinely forged many people are involved freight companies customs officers police and even the intelligence service s b u that even though the port was supposed to become a flagship anti corruption project after the my town revolution twenty six year old civil rights activist you. played a key role in the protest in the capital kiev. afterward she was put in charge of

customs in a desert and was supposed to drain the harbor of corruption she sent the customs officers to the us for training the e.u. supplied modern scanners that were able to identify what goods are in the container as well as contraband none of it helped the scanners were vandalized. school gave up her job frustrated in her resignation letter she said that the head of the queue of tax office as well as president petro poroshenko and prime minister volodymyr grossman had sabotaged her on to corruption drive so corruption still flourishes on the black sea visit to a newspaper report estimates the losses to the ukrainian treasury top four billion euros a year in tariffs alone that's twice as much as ukraine hopes to borrow this year from the world bank i.m.f. and e.u. combined. journalist david stern joins us from kiev david just how hard a job is a proving to corruption in ukraine well it's

a huge problem of course anecdotally anecdotally i've heard of the last two years the problem is actually gotten worse there seems to be corruption throughout the society and as you heard from that report now of course corruption is a problem throughout the entire former soviet union so it's really a post soviet problem but as we heard from the report ukraine had a revolution four years ago and so expectations here are much higher and there is the expectation that after the revolution this would be problem number one that they would tackle but at the science right now you have it throughout education health care the courts and as we heard the. customs so really it's the main issue right now in ukraine besides the war what are officials actually doing the ones who are corrupt that is. well

the it should be said that ukraine this government has actually done more than any previous government but the problem is so great we've seen some progress in reforming the gas sector and there have been four major anti-corruption bodies that have been formed but at the same time there's a question of whether i mean there's still so much to be done and whether president poroshenko and prime minister vladimir growth load uma grossman actually have the political will to take it all the way to the end to go against the vested interest in the oligarchy who profit from this and so there is a question that he's going if they'll actually undertake it in an election year given also that there is a lot of infighting among these and anti-corruption bodies what about pressure from western creditors couldn't they just turn off the tap i mean they don't have to invest their money to well exactly and this is a question that i'm sure

a number of people in the west are are asking or in fact i do know that they're asking but obviously they're not turning off the taps yet there is this is a means of leverage we have seen a great deal of progress in some cases the ukrainian government has been sort of dragged to it and the pressure that the that the west has brought on them has been the thing that has has made the difference for instance with the anti-corruption court is actually the reforms were introduced thanks to western pressure so it's a very delicate has been the thing that has has made the difference for instance with the anti-corruption court this actually the reforms were introduced thanks to western pressure so it's a very delicate balancing game both within the ukrainian government and with the west at the moment they're not turning off the taps however patience is wearing thin david stern for us all not thank you very much. china says it's prepared for a long trade war with the united states the statement comes in response to

a series of tweets from u.s. president donald trump praising the effects of trade tariffs he'd imposed is followed beijing's publication of a new list of talia tree tariffs on u.s. products that came in response to washington's threats to impose new jeans on two hundred billion dollars of chinese imports chinese state media lashed out at trump and described the new u.s. tariffs as extortion. and just briefly in corporate news h.s.b.c.'s focus on growth markets in asia appears to be paying off the lot and based bank said pretax profits for the first half rose to seven point two billion dollars last year h.s.b.c. said it plans to concentrate more on china and southeast asia it said today and to be the main global lender behind china's built in road initiative a project that crosses both asia and africa h.s.b.c. is europe's biggest bank but earns most of its profits from asia. that's why written thank you very much been turning out in a country that has been

a major hub for refugees and migrants from across africa trying to get into europe two years ago the european union pressurised authorities there to make it illegal to transport migrants effectively wiping out a thriving local economy be also promised millions of euros to help create new alternative business models but what has actually happened to that money on next report tracks you promises kept and bunty broken. this military bases in the city of acca tests in. pick up trucks at once transported hundreds of thousands of refugees across the desert now in a mass parking lot they in turn tell stories about hope for a better life. these vehicles confiscated by the authorities won't be given back according to this

soldier in hopes of deterring any further attempts at flight until recently migrants had been welcomed in agadez they brought money into the city spending it on food shopping and overnight stays. there was nothing illegal about it. here in this district we had lots of people running small shops and restaurants . there was a lot going on but now agadez economy is dead. two years ago a law went into effect under pressure from the e.u. that prohibited the transport of migrants afterwards many of the people smugglers were taken into custody and their vehicles confiscated although they wouldn't call themselves people smugglers they see themselves as drivers hoteliers and cooks the e.u. had promised to help to start up new businesses as

a result nothing illegal about it. here in this district we had lots of people running small shops and restaurants. there was a lot going on but now agadez economy is dead. two years ago a law went into effect under pressure from the e.u. that precipitated the transport of migrants afterwards many of the people smugglers were taken into custody and their vehicles confiscated although they wouldn't call themselves people smugglers they see themselves as dr. as hoteliers and cooks the e.u. had promised to help to start up new businesses as an alternative but nothing ever came of it. now that we have children we have to feed now we don't have any more work how are supposed to be able to raise our children. no one knew they were once people from the e.u. here they said they want to invest two hundred million euros here but we didn't see

anything not a single cent. but the e.u. did invest a lot of money in state security the new german latrice and search parties out into the desert to look for people smugglers up to two years ago hundreds of thousands of refugees traveled through this checkpoint now this border guard says no one comes through. never never never. in the meantime security personnel are being trained and equipped not just by the e.u. but also by germany and this is far as we are allowed to go as for what happens in the desert there are no eyewitnesses and that's a problem. the e.u. is not dealing with the root problem of why people are fleeing drivers will circumvent those routes that have been closed and will find other more dangerous ones. there are still many dead you have projects by frontex and

health and people were registered but now how many immigrants have left nowadays those who can leave you can't know how many people have left despite the dangers of crossing the desert many feel it's their only chance and because of e.u. policy their escape from poverty has now become a lot more dangerous. from poverty has now become a lot more dangerous. do football now or soccer if you prefer but also dortmund have signed belgium midfielder. subject to a medical new coach loose in five zero wants to improve a squad that only finished fourth in the bundesliga last season joins the german side from the chinese club tianjin kwan gian the belgium international standard and
