yemen in sanaa and we thank you so much for joining us this evening because you just saw those dramatic images coming in from this attack today what more do we know. well this is a. sock on a school. up in the. market. many people including children they'd. strongly condemns the talk and any. whether it's by selling or even a strike is unacceptable and we do want all the competent person is to respect to the international humanitarian law to put a disobedience you mentioned that it was children today who bore the brunt of this

attack i mean they were on a bus to understand in transit from from a summer camp what more do we know about them well these are children going to the. school they are in school and most of them are even under ten and it happened in the northern part of yemen state called. and when they were coming. by this market and these things happen. it seems that all parties are not respecting international law as you have requested time and time again in the wake of bombings such as these and you just did it as a few minutes ago what is your message to the parties today. the main message is lou want an immediate cease fire to stop the war and we want and ours security council and member states to put all the pressure on the conflict in brown says to the stall of. civilians have immediate cease fire and go back to the

peace talks outlined by the un a special envoy and civilians last people to get under international human general protecting civilians from the violence providing aid clearly a challenge under the current environment especially with the country on the brink of famine as well tell us more about the challenges that you're facing right now in your work well after this recent who that grasses and then the last we've got on this definitely the international humanitarian community is the really concern here how about we try as much as possible to preposition items to deliver aid to the effort to populations but sometimes we are constrained by the look at the input have been imposed by the clue it is here that our security and even access this constrains and definitely this kind of attack and even heat so we really really want all the parties to provide the humanitarian aid workers say

passes to deliver aid to the people affected sometimes and bringing items from outside is also based challenging and time condition. missions said in sanaa joining us from oxfam thank you so much. thank you argentina's senate has rejected a bill to legalize abortion by a margin of thirty eight to thirty one the bill would have allowed abortion up to the fourteenth week of pregnancy the issue has proved deeply divisive in argentina it's the homeland of pope francis and the roman catholic church campaigned strongly against the proposed law. the marathon session in the argentinean senate ended shortly before three am as the news broke opponents of the bill erupted in celebration abortion remains a centrally illegal yet we came from the country and we are here to protect the

rights of the unborn child i thank god and the senate has. already. prior to the decision thousands of pro-choice demonstrators had gathered outside the senate building and the cold and rain the majority of them came here to protest that abortions must be regulated they find any alternative just too unbearable. that i was there in the senate they're the ones responsible for all those women who have died during an illegal abortion they are murderers. a slim majority of argentinian senators eventually rejected the bill that would have legalized abortion. the decision came after heavy pressure from the argentinian catholic church which lobbied hard against the bill. now at the recent polls suggest that most option times back legalizing abortion the votes left many frustrated and disappointed needing to violent protests in some areas. but more on this now we are

joined by lucy he she is a journalist in buenos itis welcome to you tell us a little bit more about the reaction there so the senate because i mean we just saw violence scenes there on the streets of buenos what's the mood. that's right it was a very long day yesterday that debate started at nine thirty am people were lining up in the last hour of the congress the main they before and after fifteen hours of debate the vote finally took place at around three am and even though it was widely expected that the bill wasn't going to pass their reaction of course from everyone that was still there out there on the streets was very emotional people were crying hugging on the side on the blue side of the lines which is the pro-life side people were throwing fireworks and unfortunately some of these emotions turned into violent demonstrations mainly from the pro abortion side of the lying demonstrators

were throwing out stones and bottles and some police reacted with tear gas according to local media outlets there are seven men and one woman that have been detained because of this violence but it's important to point out that compared to the scale of the demonstrations we think that there's there were about one million people that came out to the streets yesterday the violence was a very small part of of what happened yesterday as drug was passed months over all the demonstrations have been very peaceful and that's also an important takeaway from yesterday's debate so tell us now practically speaking we'd like to know the implications going forward for women who still want to go ahead with abortions what options do they have. well that hasn't changed much since yesterday a woman wonder goal abortions in argentina under the law can be jailed for up to four years but this by every year they estimate is sheriff half

a million women that under will and legal abortions in the country so the options haven't changed much it is widely known that private hospitals in our indian up practice abortion too but the woman that go to those hospitals and are able to afford the screening men's are woman usually in the middle upper class but then the women that can't afford that financially are the ones that usually soft suffer the most complications have to go through clandestine clinics or unsafe abortion conditions those are the women who are according to the latest data we have there have been about forty seven thousand women who were hospitalized for complications in the last year i am misty also calculates that there have been three thousand women that have died over the last twenty five years as a result of unsafe abortion so there are options haven't changed that some people think. it's odd that some people can go to europe got were lied to pursue abortion

because these legal there seems to thousand and twelve but again there woman that can't even afford to pay for treatment in a private hospital here in argentina are very unlikely to be able to afford to go get an abortion in your right either. he and brain of scientists thank you so much . let's get more now on this issue i'm joined here in the studio by very own martin gak he is our ethics correspondent he's also from argentina welcome to you martin we know the country is very divided i mean we we saw it there with those illustrations what do you think there is this divided mean is this a question of religion a question of ethics a question of politics i think that there are many many parts to this bus one of the most certainly is religion and it's not just a couple of churches have been jellicoe churches that have been a lot of to retore a lot of to rain throughout latin america over the last couple of years that put a lot of pressure into the political system but at the very same time i think that

argentina has a very conflicted story with pregnancy and they do you need in the lift if you will find women on the left that are actually opposed to abortion of both the beale part of this has to do with the fact that many women had disappeared during the military government break and many of these disappeared britons these reappeared into the national scene and became very prominent figures in politics etc for their region in mindset i think generally it's quite difficult to simply think of a pregnancy yes something that is pure this both of the mother of the mother which goes to say that the baby became a lot more textured a lot more complex and a lot broader conservative and progressivism do clearly play a role but not the only one and it's interesting because we know that the catholic church for example very active in campaigning for it the opposition to the legalization of abortion but you know our report suggests that the majority of argentineans support it indeed how do you square that well you know in some sense i

mean process of political delegation i mean senator not really just there to voice exactly what he said the people want i mean sometimes they're also a check on what the general population wants and of course a country that has a very strong religious background takes these figures senators and representatives and executive. the the voice of the moral of the moral intuition of the country even beyond what people want and that being said is quite clear that there he said he's going there but the disconnect i think it's actually a very fertile disconnect because the matter of fact this is an issue that now has been put squarely in the middle of the political discussion in this is itself a very good thing where do you see that debate going from here i think that this will become an important part of next year presidential election process and very likely it's the progressive voters which have sort of you know pro gay rights broad trends sexual rights intuitions that had been governed by the current government

that is center right that are going to start broglie moving back towards the lift this is the big political danger that this government faces at this correspondent martin jack thank you so much my pleasure. now is going to a check of some other stories that have been making news around the world a senior zimbabwean opposition figure has appeared in court accused of inciting public violence and publicizing unofficial or fake presidential election results tendai biti have unsuccessfully tried to seek asylum in neighboring zambia the un has expressed its grave concern at reports that zambia had forcibly returned in defiance of a court order moscow says that it is considering how to retaliate against fresh sanctions from washington the u.s. state department announced the punitive measures in connection with the poisoning of former double agent sergei scriptable and his daughter yulia in britain the u.s. and the u.k. say that russia was responsible which the kremlin denies. and authorities in

belarus have arrested a number of journalists on suspicion of illegally accessing information from the country's state run news agency among those detained is paul york but kosky a correspondent for d.w.i. russian service his apartment in minsk was searched for two hours by police d.w. has lodged a protest with the ambassador of bellaver us in berlin is a rest followed police raids on some of the country's largest independent media outlets local rights groups say that the tensions are part of a government drive to muzzle the press and we're joined now by may have. who is an editor at the russia service he's been following the story for us welcome to you and i just like to ask you because the bell of russian authorities they have not spelled out why our colleague and several other journalists were taken into custody so what more can you tell us what do you gather from the situation where

else are they actually did the starting point was the fact that someone must have you legally revenues from the paid segment of a state news agency and this was the starting point of the correct own more than ten join the list now from five different belorussian media outlets have been either questioned or detained or all together in the recent three days and stealing these news doesn't make any sense we're told this is what the journalist in minsk i was talking to told me they say the pay will only last fifteen minutes and then the complete news feed is available for everyone but the investigators came yesterday to our man paul luko pottle because his wife later told us that they took all gadgets they only couldn't even from their daughter so today the crackdown continued to chief editor of one of the bill russian outlets peloton was detained altogether six persons are now in custody ok so i think it's fair to say this this was basically a sweep pierre of all of these journalists what do you make of the timing why now.

nobody really knows why but there might be some beauty explanation if this wave of detentions doesn't make sense from criminal point of view because it may be just a you know you know normal feat it makes a lot of sense from a political point of view because next year there might be prescheduled presidential elections and look i think he's obviously preparing for them now he already did that all the media in belarus that somehow get financial backing from the state now have by law to keep talk to pick up topics given by the state so and by organizing the crackdown the calculation might be that the independent journalist will be made b.d. and as long as these cases open well we thank you so much for joining us to tell us about the situation there in belarus and also to remind everyone you know our colleague is currently in detention there may have and we know that you worked with him you know him personally so we thank you so much for joining us to tell us a little bit more when i germany is making it more difficult to snap up some

domestic and his interest off or has that story on a business front that is right there are with one target in particular and that target is china for years beijing has been on a mission to buy companies that fit its strategy to develop into an even bigger economic power mostly market leaders in ten different key industry sectors like robotics or pharmaceuticals now that strategy involves takeovers of foreign companies as a result countries such as germany and the united states see their industrial advantages and risk and are now tightening regulation if they move china won't occur twenty five the new regulations come after berlin effectively blocked a chinese company from buying a twenty percent share in electricity grid operator fifty hurts chinese trade representatives claim live being singled out however the sudden surge in chinese purchases is striking. well the volume of chinese transactions in germany

was comparable low in the years before twenty sixteen it's accelerated quickly since then a sudden surge to twelve point six billion dollars in twenty sixteen was followed by a new peak of thirteen point seven billion dollars in twenty seventeen. and it's not only the size of the investments that are ringing alarm bells in berlin. many of them are focused on certain sectors. those ten key industrial sectors president z. wants china to become world leader in the acquisition of robot manufacture a cougar for four and a half billion euros last year falls into that category. and this year lease to food c.e.o. of chinese carmakers easily acquired ten percent in germany's dima now germany is slamming on the brakes by planning tighter scrutiny of foreign investments but

german industry representatives fear the government stricter controls could deter chinese investors and that's not necessarily good news after all investors also provide capital and create jobs german pharmaceuticals maker cabby is suing to stop a planned execution in the united states state of nebraska and says the state illegally acquired two of its drugs for use in the state's first ever these injection master plans to use an untested lethal cocktail of four drugs to kill a convicted murderer the company says its reputation would be damaged if its products are used for capital punishment similar lawsuit last month temporarily halted an execution in nevada. so let's get the view from frankfurt on this with conrad bosun standing by conor at a company suing to stop an execution because the drugs are said to have been acquired illegally what do traders make of the story today.

well craziness is right this is very bad for the reputation of the company investors don't like it when the company they invest in gets involved in an ethical business and they don't like it when the company gets involved in conflicts legal conflicts in the united states the share price of news and the day down about about two percent today in terms of the outcome of this legal case well there's little hope here on the trading floors that because insurers will be able to convince the judge in the us despite the fact that the company has tried to control the distribution of its medications in the u.s. with contracts explicitly for bidding the use for the death penalty. but you know obviously the state of nebraska has the opinion that its law is above those contracts and imagine a court in the united states where the point of view of an american state is being

discussed in contrary to the point of view of a german company it's likely that the american position will prevail and comment briefly in a few cases pharma companies did manage to get more control over whether their products were used in executions or not what's the difference here. well in those cases the medications were very specific the companies involved in those cases found it much easier to control their distribution in the case of those medications of cuisine use a muscle relaxer and a chemical that can stop the heart function. they are widely used in the u.s. in many clinics and the state of nebraska can get them quite easily contribution in frankfurt thank you. no a group of b.m.w. owners in south korea has filed a criminal complaint against a german carmaker over alleged delays in recalling more than one hundred thousand

cars that after over thirty b.m.w. vehicles caught fire this year in south korea now the german carmaker apologized on monday blaming a faulty component for customers i agree and say the firm should have issued the recall sooner the timing of recall which was issued last month is already the subject of a government program. and spec to sarah now and the latest on the continuing fights in gaza absolutely thank you so much christophe the un's middle east envoy says that he is quote deeply alarmed about the latest escalation of hostilities in the gaza strip between israel and hamas three palestinians died an extended exchange of more dollars and airstrikes overnight the funeral for two of the victims a pregnant woman and her one year old daughter was held in gaza this afternoon authorities say that a hamas fighter was also killed the u.n. envoy warned of devastating consequences if the current escalation is not contained

and there are reports of renewed fighting in recent hours. this exchange of fire in gaza comes at a time when it is becoming increasingly difficult for gazans to live their daily lives that's in part due to cuts in u.s. funding for the united nations agency responsible for some five million palestinian refugees us president donald trump has questioned its value after the state department said that the agency which is known as the un are a needs reforms he. reports from gaza. a sit in on ross headquarters in gaza city a few employees have even started a hunger strike all of them fear for their jobs among them as psychologists so who are shot she will have to work part time for the next six months only a kid to do have a shot at drugs drawing us out in the street i'm thirty eight years old my husband doesn't work i have full kids and we don't have any other source of energy and

a way should have applied for his job when we got them back most of the anger is directed at the agency one hundred and thirteen people who lose their jobs with unemployment at more than forty percent in gaza work with the agency had been highly sought after the funding crisis is starting to bite after the u.s. slashed its support for own back in january there is a ninety million dollars shortfall in its emergency fund which supports food distribution mental health and cash for work programs we're trying the best we can to prioritize the food distribution and that means we have to borrow some money and do less of the other two programs a number of our staff staff roughly a thousand staff are affected by this some of them will continue full time their job some of them will have to move to part time so that we can fit into the budget the food distribution and how must control gaza the crisis over the agency which provides services normally supplied by state comes amid attempts political

situation as ceasefire between hamas and israel remains elusive people here are very that the cuts in u.s. funding are only the beginning of a wider come pain to take the refugee issue off the agenda israel and the us accuse the un organization of perpetuating the refugee problem but people here say that without a little support they get the situation would be even worse. at the distribution center at the shelter refugee camp people come for their basic items. with the gaza strip seared off by israel and egypt over eighty percent of the population are dependent on the aid one break or in the other. every three months mohamed picks up his family's ration of oil lentils floor and other items he's a tailor but hardly finds work is a little since he has reduced its own stuff so what will happen to people like me

if i cut even slightly it will hurt. today i'm getting seven backs but if they cut it by heart the quantity will not be enough. it will never be enough the food. like for him and his fellow two million gazans remains deeply uncertain. at the european championships being co-hosted by berlin in glasgow germany has won its first gold medal in the athletics competition arthur a belly it came first in the men's a cattle on at the olympic stadium finally giving the home fans something to celebrate on a day of three proceedings afterwards the man known as king arthur couldn't hide his emotion. and for now that was simply crazy at first at that moment you just hear the public scream then you feel your legs like they were burning like hell and. then you breathed then the pulse comes.

then you stand there and think those are two crazy days hey you wanna see. what just happened slowly the emotions come when you break down and realize you were just a small worm down here and you just wrote. a new one on hostility being a go all. graduation for him with that you were up to date on. i'm sorry thank you so much for watching i have a great to.
