sometimes struggle to recognise each other after such a long separation. that. sister sister my sister you've gone through so much. it's a bittersweet moment despite being able to meet these family members who only have eleven hours to spend together. and for these eighty nine elderly south koreans this may be the very last time they can travel to north korea to see their relatives time is taking its toll many have become too old with both koreas technically still at war chances of seeing each other are also rare for unions like this have only taken place twenty times since two thousand apart from the state sanctions get togethers there is no way to contact each other phone calls and letters are prohibited by pure yeah and. that's what makes this meeting so precious

even if it's short at least for now they can put aside the sorrow of being a part and live in the moment. joining me now is journalist jen quanah she's in the south korean capital seoul jen resource some very emotional scenes of elderly north and south koreans meeting give us a sense of what happens at these reunions how they planned what happens that. for the past seven decades there was only four times that people were allowed to meet it was always ping pong when there are tensions between north and south korea government more favorable with the north korean team people were finally allowed to meet their family members after sixty years in the next two to three days the family will be allowed to meet but it will be only allowed leavened hours to control the environment to talk with each other if you think they were apart for sixty years in a total different environment and you could see how much of

a different person they became. so for years and years of constant division some of they were now got together how significant how important are these reunions for the families of the two koreas. there are still five thousand fifty seven thousand people waiting to meet their family members and in order to make this happen we need to under the times more of these family reunions however this never comes and really easily. what the families there might be their only chance to meet with their family members and it's all controlled the presence that they bring the things that they can talk it's all controlled by the government it specially because of the north korean side. and jim we also saw the leaders of north and south korea hug each other at a historic summit earlier this year so this is also in large a diplomatic soul that is happening what's the progress there. well kim

started talks and finally in a positive sense before with her former government it was more hostility toward north korea so it seems like there's less tensions however we have to see how it develops whether something tangible something that brings more positive air we have the north korea south koreans are together we have now seen family reunion. and would see kim jong un for the third time next september the date has not been set yet hopefully there will be more progress right small positive steps we don't know where that leads but thank you very much jen kwon journalists from the south korean capital so. they've been having to do it some other stories making news around the want to france this is condemned the crime of child sex abuse and cover ups within the catholic church writing in a very letter to catholics around the one the pontiff said the perpetrators should

tearing out a turkey a court has lifted a travel ban on a german journalist who was arrested and held last year on terrorism charges. seventeen other turkish defendants accused of terrorist propaganda and membership of the extreme left and the party which is designated as a terrorist organization in turkey to is a journalist with the leftist. news agency she was released from custody last year but wasn't allowed to leave the country until now she's due back in germany with her young son on sunday joining me now is the political cars one has run from a parliamentary stooges give us some context what could be behind the sudden lifting of the travel ban. well first of all i have to say it wasn't as sudden as we have thought in the last few hours the foreign ministry spokesman here in berlin

say just quite recently that in fact the decision by the courts to lift this travel ban was taken some weeks ago and was only unknowns. in fact the decision to let her go is actually quite an old decision and has nothing to do with the current tensions in turkey apparently it does certainly still have something to do with the discussions between germany and turkey about somehow normalizing their relationship and in fact we also have to say while she can take her young son alone to germany and put him into kindergarten all that the new school years starting here a court case will continue the charges have not been lifted against her and her husband who's been accused in the same trial has not been allowed to leave to he remains restricted to and looking at it will go to contacts and you know that uncle is going through tough economic times and is not in a trade spats with the u.s. could that have been to germany's advantage and enhanced its leverage over.

yes i think so there's been several politicians in the last few days especially from the social democratic spectrum of the political political spectrum saying that germany should now advance with help towards turkey maybe financial help other forms of assistance to turkey in order to show turkey that it still has some sort of hold within some sort of friends within europe regarding you know in contrast to the relationship to the united states german government spokesman this morning having a very reticent about that have been saying that nothing concrete is being discussed nothing concrete has been offered and the talks are continuing but of course what is happening is that there will be a summit meeting between the turkish president raise a type of gun and i'm going to marco here in germany here in berlin in about a month's time and before that the ministers of finance and of economic affairs of both countries will also meet here and burden so there are

a lot of talks going on in the background i think and certainly in the current crisis germany and europe as a whole has a lot more leverage in trying to persuade turkey to come back into the european fold runtime stranded up on him and he said yes thank you. for the one number one novak talk of rich became the first player to win or my masters one thousand two hundred months with victory over roger federer in cincinnati a twenty one year old beat president six four six four wimbledon champion djokovic had lost the cincinnati final to dismiss on three previous occasions. so the asian games which are underway in chicago that this is program includes is sports as an exhibition event with competitive gaming on the rise across the globe one school in the indonesian capital is offering its students a chance to hone their skills in the classroom many people especially parents might
