phil well he was someone of the first hour of this conflict he was one of the last of the generation of fighters turned politicians who really swept to prominence by the conflict when it started back in twenty fourteen so touching it was a political nobody before this conflict he had a small business he traded in poultry and suddenly he was the defacto leader of a self-proclaimed republic of several million people he was someone who was very impulsive he was known to talk openly about russia's support for those eastern ukrainian breakaway republics something the kremlin doesn't like they have time time again denied any direct involvement in this conflict he also had a lot of enemies within yet skin recent months there's been some conflict bring their. financial issues over differences of opinion and he really was a kind of maverick in a field where increasingly more professional more cautious types of politicians are coming to the fore as this conflict develops into a stalemate and the war. goes further and further into the past the insurgency in

eastern ukraine started in april twenty fourth scene after russia annexed crimea what is the situation like in the moment. what situation the ground is people are still dying there is fighting or there is shooting along the so-called line of control between key ukrainian government troops on the separatists but those tend to be mostly soldiers and some civilians living right up against that division there but there hasn't been any significant move in terms of territory the last time that really significant areas territories changed hands was in early twenty fifteen so over three years ago and the question now is what does this. mean for the peace process that's been the means peace process has been blocked with either side kiev and separatists basically playing chicken and saying the other side has to make the first move so there had been voices saying that this could actually help things because it was a very odd. popular figure in ukraine given how spoken he was given his poor

treatment of ukrainian prisoners of war so actually taking him out of the equation might make coming kind of a compromise easier we've seen a very aggressive reaction from then yes going to from moscow saying that the his killers will be brought to justice and that there will be some kind of settling of schools for this killing today so it might actually look that actually his death today might set off a new spiral of conflict between donetsk and. care of and ukraine as a whole i think only in care thank you. to some of the other stories making news around the world israeli gunfire has reportedly wounded scores of palestinians during protests in the west bank and along the border with the casa strip in the west bank village of rask hundreds of palestinians demonstrated against israeli land seizures for jewish settlements troops fired tear gas and rubber bullets while palestinian protesters. ugandan pop star turned opposition lawmaker bobby

scheduled in kevin it's over the weekend but by the far right alternative for germany party as well as by church groups germany's chancellor wants the country to do more business with african nations economic cooperation has been a key focus of our going back three day trip to san diego ghana and today nigeria has also hopes economic development will migration from the region she made a point of highlighting the dangers that face people when they attempt the journey to europe. i'm going to merkel arriving in the cheeriest. the last stop on her brief tour of west africa using hopeful rhetoric to focus on illegal migration to europe the president heard the president indicated that sixty percent of the people living in nigeria are under thirty years old. so it's a young country with knots of ambition. and we agree that people smuggling and

criminality and illegal migration can only be dealt with if young people have economic opportunity is at the same time. sentiments mirrored by nigeria's president bihari against. my countrymen. illegally we can please. or not we do good support. but the push factors in nigeria are many recent research shows that more than a third of nigerians have considered moving abroad in part because of widespread corruption an even bigger reason to leave is poverty new data suggests that the west african state has surpassed india as the country with the most people living in extreme poverty merkel's under pressure back in germany to be seen to be finding

a solution to the illegal migration. for nigeria and neighboring states this could be a positive move european countries willing to invest to not only stop people smuggling but also to boost african industry in a bid to improve conditions for young people who may otherwise seek a better life in europe. let's talk business now with first i had an a do we have a deal on nothing or not well that initial deal between the u.s. and mexico that still stands but if you're talking about a trilateral deal to include canada well that looks somewhat tricky word now from officials that talks between the u.s. and canada have broken up with no agreement it now remains to be seen whether president sends the bilateral trade deal off to congress for approval goes back to the negotiating table. donald trump's friday deadline for a deal came and went with no three way agreement ahead of the talks janet just top

trade envoy appeared less optimistic about striking a deal with washington as has been the case from the very beginning candidate if the country is kids at finding when when compromise with having said that in trade negotiations in this negotiation we always stand up for the national interests and that is what we're going to continue to do we're looking for a good deal not just any deal and so we will only agree to a deal but it's a good deal for canada we're not there yet the u.s. and canada have been wrangling over several key issues including the automotive sector american demands for greater access to canada's dairy market patent protections for medicines and i thought it was insistence on keeping nafta as current procedure first solving disputes despite trunks comments canadian prime minister justin trudeau says his government's approach is always to remain

constructive and positive over the past a number of days we've had some very positive conversations on a broad range of issues and we have been very clear about where our red lines are we've been very clear about where we think there's room for give and take donald trump had originally planned to have the agreement done and dusted on friday but a final deal involving mexico the u.s. and canada remain so loose of. and all financial correspondent yens quoted joins us from new york yankees the friday deadline is upon us and it appears at this stage canada is out. well canada is out for this deal only this week no deal was reached but there was word that talks might continue next week but that doesn't mean that an important deadline was missed ended won't be possible illegally to have

a trilateral deal before the new mexican president takes office december first and the big question is if congress will actually go with a bilateral deal with mexico and the united states without canada that could be tricky to achieve but overall at least the wall street reacted in a very moderate way and we ended the month of august and it was the best august for the nasdaq composite an eighteen years and the best august for the rest of the market in the past four years all right so the new mexican administration not into the first of december we've got quite a few months to chew over this topic taking a look at trade tensions between the u.s. and china now of course this week saying for the tariffs on china are set to come in now the u.s. president saying that the e.u. is just as bad as china but on a smaller scale should russel's be bracing itself. well

if you look at the the european union it's the biggest traders the trading partner to the u.s. but the u.s. also runs the second highest trade deficit with the european union right after china and those remarks from u.s. president donald trump they were also aiming a bit at the propose a proposal from europe to actually cut any card tariffs in total and u.s. president donald trump is quoted as saying that europeans have the habit of driving their own and not us american cars and that's why he doesn't see any need to actually cut those card tariffs at all so yes mexico canada this is one side of the story of the european union as are all different one and at this point it doesn't sound too friendly what we hear out of washington when it comes to trade

it was the european union and if we talk about china next week maybe tariffs on chinese growth and the amount of two hundred billion dollars we'll kick off and we await that yes quota for us in new york thank you yes well the i.m.f. has now agreed to revise the terms of the fifty billion dollar bailout package off the a.t.v. appeal from the country's president create the i.m.f. managing director christine i guess says argentina has the full support of the fund has said she was confident it could overcome its present economic woes it's been a rough year and an especially rough few days for the country's currency the peso forty almost twenty percent in the past week driven by phase the country's would not be able to make its debt payments. one of the biggest trade shows for consumer electronics and home appliances has opened here in berlin that seems to be something for every tech fan at the annual event and if the anticipation is keeping you awake at night rest assured something as well. city problems this

spring could be numbered the european commission today proposed an end to this which between summer and winter times the decision comes after an online poll found the majority of respondents want to get rid of the hour change to winter time with more than four and a half million participants it was the largest online survey you history most of those who took part were german but even here opinion opinion is divided. i think it's great switching to daylight savings time it works so i think it's a good idea good idea i would keep the time the same all year round we need as much even tempered this in this world as we can possibly get as if from this it well i think it's not so bad one out doesn't make such a big difference if it really does save energy. then i think it should be the same time all year round that would be best for everyone because then you won't have to bother adjusting clocks i also think that change doesn't make much sense anymore

it's out of reach and i would you prefer summer time only to turn it to you i would prefer summertime in the evenings there's so much to do when it's still light then it's much better you get rid of the time change but in favor of summer time of the month is good as is but i wouldn't notice any difference so you can do what you want i don't really care. about the crew of the international space station have dealt with a potentially dangerous situation after a tiny fracture appeared in their soyuz transport ship it's thought that they two millimeter leak was caused by a collision with a small meteorite and led to a drop in pressure the initial solutions have been surprisingly low tech i assess command that i was on the guest first plug the hole with his finger for two russian cosmonauts covered it with duct tape and are working on a more permanent solution for walls summer transfer window in germany closed on friday and one of the last players to move clubs was a german international kevin trap the goalkeeper returned to his former club
