fled to it live from elsewhere in syria the first big influx came in december twenty sixth teen after government forces took control of aleppo then in two thousand and seventeen the last rebel fighters left the city of holmes and in march two thousand and eighteen after fighting ended in eastern guta convoys also had to take it live at the u.n. has called for diplomacy between the major players to avoid a bloodbath the leaders of iran russia and turkey are set to meet on friday in tehran for a summit that could determine the course for an offensive. dark clouds warn of an impending catastrophe the first strikes on the liberal were reported on tuesday these images posted by activists show bombings in villages close to ellipse city several civilians have reportedly been killed the syrian observatory for human rights says russian warplanes carried out the attacks on behalf of its ally syrian president bashar al assad his regime is preparing its forces ready to close in on

alike. davies correspondent laura is following all the latest developments for us from beirut i am sure this is the battle that everyone has been fearing the un has warning of a bloodbath we have nearly three million people in islam what is going to happen to people. well that's a big question but we will see an armed confrontation in the province of we don't yet know what the scope is going to be but however small or large it is there will be civilian casualties because this is a very congested area and where the. extremists are how the school now known as the leader shot where their members are there are many civilians so even if russians and the city and say we're attacking just the extremists are this group civilian casualties are bound to happen and most of these people are against the syrian government and found innocent live under several reconciliation deals this was supposed to be their safety when where are they going to go if it is under attack

are we going to see another refugee crisis that's the big question and to remind us why this battle for control of that loop is so important. well this is the last rebel stronghold and if syrian government and russia does win here then that means that the assad government has won the war and that would mean that they would possibly be no political because you should this is also where all the rebels are some of the leading the leaders of the rebel groups are in turkey in the border areas but the rebels plan that is in this province so what sort of reconciliation will come out of the assad government will ensue and that's and this will be the final chapter of the seven doing long civil war before and are fans of of this launched a flurry of diplomacy is planned for the next few days until can a solution be found to limit the destruction of it live in the impact on civilians . and do limits yes but gallup peaceful solution we found that's next to impossible

we have to remember russia and the syrian government attacked aleppo attacked. see that these areas have thirty to sharm or ok there's affiliates and the members of the school work present in these area and very few numbers even italy they are closed in huge numbers they control sixty percent of the territory so there will be attack what sort of a peaceful solution can be found none bought it can be can the conflict can be can be turkey's saying give us time so we can split. the extremes how can schools and russia wants to salvage just a petition it also wants the e.u. win other countries to be able to reconstruction in syria so maybe it will attack not all the pieces at once but if you will places in the strategic manner and can deal with that much and as a what role does the u.s. play here president trump warned us not on monday not to recklessly attack ad lib our world powers on a collision course here. well what does it really means recklessly attack the us

our government and russia have been attacking many other revenue head on clears and even off to a chemical attack and dumas medical response along with the treatment front seem to be quite believe it was seem to not really have had an impact on the grounds that american policy is not really clear and to be able to get off to a bully is i don't think the wall followers are on a collision course i think the us would be blaming russia if the conflict gets out i'm. not looking at. the moment but it does depend on how many casualties of the end of the globe looked we see. these correspondent reporting for us from beirut thank you until now british prosecutors have charged a russian man with a nerve agent attack on former russian spy service cripple and his daughter earlier this year the british government believes they are members of russia's military intelligence agency and that their operation was almost certainly approved by the kremlin. these are the men british prosecutors have

charged with conspiracy to murder alexander the men are accused of attempting to murder former russian double agents circ ice cripple and his door to you here with a military grade nerve agent a police officer was also hospitalized following the attack in march in the english city of souls free. another couple also fell seriously ill after coming into contact with the nerve agent police believe through this bottle of perfume one of them dawn burgas later died. for us accusers from the c.p.s. counterterrorism division have considered the evidence and have concluded that there is sufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of a conviction and that it is clearly in the public interest to charge alexander petroff and ruslan for sure off who are russian nationals british police have

released c.c.t.v. images of petrol from bosher off arriving at london's gatwick airport two days before the script pulls were targeted. this image of the man was taken at salzburg train station a day before the attack and this at the same station on the day of the poisoning moments later they're seen on c.c.t.v. walking through the city. police say traces of the nerve agent also found in their london hotel room with a stain that weekend. in the house of commons the british prime minister claimed the men are two russian military intelligence officials. mr speaker repeatedly asked russia to account for what happened in salzburg in march and they have replied with obfuscation and lawyers this is including trying to pass the blame for the attack on the terrorists on to our international partners and even on

to the future mother in law. they even claimed that i myself invented. british prosecutors saying they won't ask russia to extradite the men but they have obtained european arrest warrants the kremlin meanwhile has denied it played any role in the poisonings. german foreign minister heikal moss is on his way to turkey the first high level visit there by a german politician in some time before leaving mass called turkey an important partner for germany despite the recent problems and he indicated the issue of seven german citizens detained in turkey would be high on his agenda they are being held on political charges after a failed coup two years ago more on that story now with our correspondent dorian jones in itself hi dorian seven germans as we said are still being held in turkey on political charges and is seeking their release how likely

is the turkish government to relent. turkish government insists this is purely a matter for the colts president but you have to tell you bird one says you do sheree remains in the pendant and it will be up to how the courts decide this now having said that several prominent german nationals have in the past year or so being released after intense diplomatic pressure and undoubtedly. will be bringing this up and pressuring that they should be released as soon as possible will it be before he returns that is very difficult to say but the message will be that those german nationals are expected to be returned before the turkish president makes his state visit to burn in later this month but the whole why the issue of human rights is seen as a very thorny question turkey. with burden and the wider european union the price of that will be step towards improving turkey's very very heavily criticized human rights record whether on course prepared to pay that price will be key to

determining how far this reproach one with and the wider european union will go during it's important to say that this is all coming at a time where turkey is facing an economic crisis ask elating tensions with the u.s. does president everyone need better relations with germany right now and what could that actually achieve. well the song korea is in a very difficult position certainly looking to in the wider european union for financial assistance in the current financial crises facing it doesn't want to go to the i.m.f. and many ways europe is seen as a possible alternative where of berlin and the rest of europe are prepared to give that support is something that is very clear but also our own core is finding itself internationally isolated it has a very very problem with the relationship with washington that is getting worse and up until now that it will look to moscow but given the fact that there are all

growing differences over syria particularly the crisis on korea lies is it does need to improve its relations certainly we've europe if the relations with washington are continuing to deteriorate durian jones following this story for us from istanbul dorian thank you now some other stories making headlines around the world a new tell all book by veteran washington post reporter bob woodward quotes a top aide calling president donald trump and media and alleges other senior figures removed sensitive documents to stop him from making impulsive decisions trump has dismissed the book on twitter as a con on the public. the botswana government is disputing reports that some ninety elephant carcasses found in recent weeks were the result of poaching the charity elephants without borders said the animals had been killed for their tusks in what's thought to be one of africa's biggest poaching incidents of its kind. and a new report from the world health organization says that more than

a quarter of the world's adults don't exercise enough it says one point four billion people weren't we king the recommended levels of physical activity and that's putting them at a higher risk of illnesses such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. financial technology continues to make big gains care hard to have more on that as rides and they seem to show the old guard how it's done why a car but very infirm specialized in online payments is set to not germany's second biggest lender combat's bank are the blue chip index dots today is the latest sign of plucky thing techs out shining traditional banks why a cop makes software for cashless and contactless payments the company actually started a process in car payments for gambling and pornography websites and now some of the biggest names in business are using its says fair but munich airport chinese travelers are known as an avid buyers of luxury goods just before departure. fees i

t specialist at its headquarters are discussing their expansion plans for the u.s. . under short while ago why a card acquired a transaction banking provider in india. to boom an online retailing is boosting wildcard profits all over the world as retailers line up for the company's software solutions. its up from the three in the c.f. i think we've always known very well that we need to move into markets are going to expanding rapidly and we have to offer solutions where the customer only needs one partner and by focusing firmly on that approach then i think we've got a good point as to the direction to take on that because while the an individual is online casinos also use wild card companies come in for some criticism for that because online casinos are accused of having a lax attitude to money laundering. and books but until then we support gambling we support illegal gambling operations that's why it's

a perfectly reasonable link to have in our value added change them. cementing its market position why it also offers a host of other services including risk management call centers and customer loyalty schemes. that seems to prove data is the new oil so is germany's economy totally al day to because if you look at the most successful companies in the u.s. you find relatively young companies names like amazon google apple topping the list if you look into germany most of the top five of the german economy were founded before one thousand nine hundred plus didn't because he's been a tech correspondent here at d w let's let's talk about that stephen is this a watershed moment with comments on being kicked out of the docks by a stasi i think in some ways certainly gearhart i mean this is one of the docks originals leaving the docks and this is obviously digitally based company or

a company that is focused on digital solutions here. at the same time i think it's long fair to say that it's comparable to an amazon and apple google these are massive corporations in the u.s. where there is a much more active tech financing scene and they are true disrupters if you want to use that cliche i mean they've made things that are completely changing revolutionizing systems wired hard has found a very lucrative market in payment systems in the way we are going more cashless is very nice that's right very nice but it's the upside is massive and so it will do well and that's why it's up in this position is because of the optimism behind it but what does that mean for come out spawn and also for other large companies if you're a customer of come out spawn's then you're probably not going to notice any changes from its losing its position on the dax what it means for the company is of course that has to reassure investors as i just said you know your position in the dax your your valuation is based so much on not just what you've done with your

business or sort of what's been following your business and your results but also by what investors see going forward and while the c.e.o. . of comments one has said we're going to stick to a plan we're not to let this various we're going to continue with our digitalisation plan this obviously says that investors don't believe that that's going to happen fast enough or that's going to happen in full and so they need to be able to convince investors that they are moving towards a future where they can compete with more nimble competitors so you think this is an exception or are there other fin tech companies sort of lining up to give the older lead a painful kick in the box and i think in some ways that is an exception because if you look at german companies as you mentioned a lot of them are very manufacturing base industrial sort of giants if you look at tech companies and german these are a lot of times biotech content they're still manufacturing something and even wired card again not this huge disruptor but at the same time i mean there are there is this burgeoning in twenty's there is this burgeoning fin tech. sort of sector there and i just mention in twenty six this is one of the ones that sort of the stars of

the german and then tech sector they are making an appeal for the retail customers of the big legacy banks but putting it all on smartphones and so they're really appealing to younger bankers and they throw in the launch of these sort of dinosaurs in some ways so they have to watch out for them you see last question do you see any any any particular one to a shelf full of the of the fin techs i mean i think i think it would have to be twenty six is the one that you know investors tend to sort of star because it again sort of gets into this retail sector which is so important retail investment but really across the world you see what you see is sort of an unbundling of services that these big banks are providing providing multiple insurance you know retail lending all of these are being provided piecemeal by little fin tech companies and so they have to watch out for all of them they have to respond and perhaps even acquire some of them to take on those skills student as they think you very much.

take it or leave it that's what stole trump told canadians in the latest round of nafta trades talks and idea canadian prime minister justin trudeau replied that he was holding out for a win win deal rhetoric aside both parties have agreed to head back to the negotiating table today and with good reason the deal covers trillions of dollars worth of trade. prime minister trudeau didn't seem too concerned despite the importance of a trade agreement with the u.s. three quarters of canada's international commerce is with its southern neighbor but he said he didn't want to deal at any cost. we will not sign a deal that is bad for canadians and quite frankly not having a chapter nineteen to ensure that the rules are followed would be bad for canadians chapter nineteen of the trade agreement is a mechanism to resolve disputes through attrition tribunal's so far the white house has refused to give ground president trump wants things done his way on his way to

the golf course on the weekend he used twitter to threaten that he would stop talking to canada in that case candidate would no longer be party to the north american free trade agreement. top executives from facebook and twitter have taken a hot seat in front of u.s. lawmakers they're being grilled over what they're doing to stop abuse and foreign interference on their platforms we have our social media editor jared reed with us for more on this hi jared what is this hearing all about well basically these two top executives we've got sheryl sandberg from facebook and jack dorsey from twitter they're appearing in front of these politicians basically to convince them that they're ready for the midterms in two months time and that they're being proactive in preventing foreign interference and they have to do that because of russia and its attempts to use social media to interfere in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election and they're saying now that iran is getting in on the action

so maybe rule get some information about that the executives are going to be talking about what they're doing to clamp down on misinformation so they're trying to make political advertising more transparent deleting billions of fake accounts and pages hiring more stuff and developing the artificial intelligence technology to try and clamp down on abuse so what do you think we're going to see take place and i think we're going to see dorsey and sandberg they've got their own wishlist and basically they're going to ask the government for help in clearing up their platforms and saying that they can't do it all by themselves probably going to hear questions on things like hate speech on online privacy is well coming after the can bridge analytical scandal where all the millions of user accounts were accessed by political consultants after the testimony jack dorsey from twitter is going to appear before another group of lawmakers about claims that tweet is politically biased and that's something that the tech industry is facing generally that's

a claim being pushed along by people like donald trump last week you might remember he sort of suggested the idea of trying to regulate google searches because he feels that they've been manipulated to make him. look bad speaking of google then not going to be there today they couldn't send their c.e.o. along for whatever reason and some will make is not that happy about in a previous hearing with facebook yes some members of congress were criticized for not being tough enough or not knowing their stuff well the speed of different i think it will be but we really have to wait and see the incident you're referring to. back in april coming off of the cambridge analytical tool he was asked about online privacy but it seemed that some of the lawmakers didn't really understand what the internet was and some of the questions could have been a little bit better a lot of us felt. judging on what some of the lawmakers have been saying ahead of this testimony they have a lot of things they want to get through it seems like they have done their

homework and i'm optimistic about what we can hopefully get out of these companies some information is better than none i think we'll have to wait and see all right a lot of eyes on this hearing today our social media editor jared reed thank you very much brazilians are hoping to recover some priceless treasures from the ashes of a huge fire that got it brazil's national museum it stop that as much as ninety percent of latin america's largest collection of historic artifacts may have been destroyed in the place firefighters combing through the charred remains have already made some promising finds. all that's left of brazil's national museum. millions of historic items now turned to ash. destroyed by a fire that is ripped through brazil's history and its culture.

but its hopes that all is not lost among items firefighters have already found of fragments of bone it's hoped to skull one of the oldest fossils ever found in the americas maybe among them. bones were found but we still don't know if it's the skull of lutea where waiting researches also managed to rescue some items and there was great excitement when a security guard found this document across the street. but nothing can replace what's been destroyed and although the government has promised money to shore up what's left of the museum many feel successive governments have simply neglected this brazilian treasure house. now visitors to the tiger and safari park in crimea got a little bit more than they have bargained for when one of the lions take a look at this decided to literally get on board. for those showing the lion

theresa may has said the suspects are agents of russia's military intelligence agency. u.s. secretary of state my. pompei o has met pakistan's newly elected prime minister imran khan pakistan as a linchpin of the u.s. is anti-terrorism strategy in the region but relations are at an historic low after the u.s. canceled hundreds of millions of dollars in assistance it was meant to support pakistan's fight against terrorism. it's not the easiest mission for u.s. secretary of state mike pump aoe to trumpet ministration has never quite been on good terms with pakistan the president's first tweet of the year set the tone and it's only gone downhill since then. the us has foolishly given pakistan more than thirty three billion dollars in aid over the last fifteen years and they have given us nothing but lies and deceit thinking of our leaders as fools to give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in afghanistan with little help no more awaiting pompei

on islamabad is pakistan's new prime minister imran khan an outspoken critic of the us can is said to receive bad news ahead of the visit the us announced its canceling another three hundred million dollars in aid on top of the five hundred million already cut earlier this year. the aid was meant to compensate pakistan for its efforts to fight terrorists on its own soil but the u.s. says pakistan has been dragging its feet previous presidents have always hoped they could turn around pakistan's behavior but i think would trump we're finally seeing a disillusionment sinking and a sense of conviction amongst congress amongst the administration the white house that it's too late we simply have to now use more sticks because the carrots just haven't worked the u.s. accuses pakistan of letting armed groups operate within its territory especially in the tribal areas in the northwest of the country on the border to afghanistan there the country is said to be providing

a safe haven for terrorists like the kani network a terrorist group responsible for some of afghanistan's most deadly attacks accusations pakistan sharply denies the country's new ruling coalition wants to change tack in its relations with the u.s. one of equal partners you. terrorism but we will not. buy the u.s. will the americans have to understand that the lead to come up and certain on the table with doesn't this pressure back to. this regime. even before some sales and plane landed in pakistan officials were calling on imran khan to cancel the meeting const first with a high level u.s. official since being sworn in as prime minister last month. let's bring in imtiaz gul from the center for research and security studies in islam about he joins us on the line hi m.d.s. mike pompeo is on a pretty difficult mission here as we heard the trumpet ministration has taken a really tough line on pakistan how is he being received there. what i think it is

turning out to be an anticlimax as far as my pompeo is messaging to pakistan is concerned it was. there and dissipation of fireworks at the first formal meeting between his meeting with the foreign minister but we understand that meeting and gone gone down already ran into a sort of an. introductory meeting in which he was acquitted or experience changed of course afghanistan was discussed but not the way it has been projected in the media before he arrived here and go to the greek the there is no military solution to the situation in afghanistan however there is a difference of strategy and mr pompeo we understand now wants to address and define the respective strategies informally sharks in days and weeks to come so they have important shared mission in the region and yes but the u.s. accuses pakistan of letting armed groups operate within its territory pakistan says

that's not the case what is the evidence actually show. well i think there is some of those two groups operating in the question a lot of on the border region but we also have to understand that the me and the seventy eighty percent of the spaces inside of nonis are not i'm going to push the president selfish or group's president and the terrorists whether they are. funny or off gone to use these on governments because we frequently to carry out attacks not only in afghanistan but also in markets where the security forces have particularly be under the focus of kurdistan when you go to the guy's turn is nearly every day the bugs on are going to go to lose their soldiers to these terrorists given the tensions between the u.s.

and pakistan can these two countries reset relations. well i guess better sense prevails if the united states backs down from its a strategic position that could have bought sixty. two leash and geopolitical effect that has been driving markets on foreign policy and it's. gone it's gone and it's progress on all these bugs and also speaking of the to do something that is very much in sync with the expectations up not only the united states but the expectations of its allies china and russia will please just relationship and find a middle ground for moving forward as a punishment is concerned that i think the united states you also have to create a space for the other strategic neighbor of a kind of fun and that if you don't. can't go analysis the center for research and

security studies in islam about thank you very much. not some other stories making headlines around the world a south korean delegation has flown to north korea to present president kim jong un with a personal letter from president hu jia in this comes of a ahead of a summit planned for later this month south korea hopes it will lead to complete denuclearization on the korean peninsula. authorities in japan have begun evacuating hundreds of people stranded at concise airport which was flooded in the wake of typhoon gebbie at least ten people were killed and hundreds more injured by the storm it was the strongest typhoon to hit japan in twenty five years. an operation is underway to clear a collapsed motorway bridge in the indian city of call caught him at least one person was killed after several vehicles including a bus plunged thirty meters when a section of the overpass caved in on tuesday it was the second major road collapse in calcutta in recent years. now tens of thousands of indian farmers marched on the

country's parliament in delhi on wednesday carriage of more on that story that's right they demanded proof months to work and living conditions the shortest is sponsored by the opposition communist party who calls for higher wages more jobs and an end to the privatization of state run companies and bad harvests have threatened the livelihood of many indian farmers forcing them to borrow at a higher rights thousands have committed suicide in recent years. as goes straight to delhi where a correspondent on a family counseling was sonia just why are so many farmers protest there either. well you get how do you know we have to understand that for many years india's farming sector has has really been in a bad shape you know successive droughts crop failures falling incomes have really dealt a heavy blow to indian farmers the bulk of whom are poor and the farmers that you saw out of the streets of delhi today had a long list of demands for one they want the government to completely waive the

farm debts which are the major reason for promises sides in india they want a minimum wage of eighteen thousand rupees that's about two hundred fifty euros a month and they simply want higher prices for the crops you know right now the indian government has a policy where it acquires crops for the palmers to incentivize production and the public say they want the government to ensure that they own a cleese one and a half times more than those production costs is there any movement on the government's side about these issues. well if you spoke to farmers today they would say absolutely not you know one of the main messages of most of those far more protests and meetings today is that the government is simply not taking their problems seriously now the indian government led by prime minister narendra modi had promised to actually double incomes by two thousand and twenty two but critics here in india say that there's really falling woefully short off that target and prime minister nuri the modi is also feel that you know to deliver on

a key promise of creating tens of millions of jobs young indians and that is a particular problem in the india in the farming sector so there was a lot of anger today against the government and its policies which many farmers here see as being pro rich and in favor of the private sector. so you mentioned earlier that i would call church in india is not. the moment where does this crisis originate. well i think there are many reasons for it you know i you know hof india's population can farms and yet the farming sector contributes just about sixteen percent to india's g.d.p. so simply foot you know indian farms employ a lot of people who get produce too little and i think that a couple of reasons extreme weather though plays a big role in most indian farms that rain fared so you know droughts and rising temperatures pose particular challenges on the other hand you have you know on seasonal rains floods and heavy monsoons that also affect farm incomes and you know

experts here say that beyond that there are many structural problems that have blighted indian farming for decades you know and that includes things like indian five the average indian farms a too small in size there's a decline in productivities there's a lack of modernization there's a lack of water conservation and also things like you know rising costs of farm inputs like you know seeds fertilizers it again so i think that a many many underlying problems in the indian farming sector some of our common d.w. is in your correspondence thank you very much for this analysis. thank you japanese animation and comics saw an email become well known around the world in the last thirty years but there's also a growing multibillion dollar market in china for these comic books on emissions this year the billy billy world expo in shanghai organized by a chinese anime streaming platform pulled in almost double the numbers that are transferred last year during its debut. comic book

and animation fans showing off their costumes and weapons on stage. nearly two hundred thousand visitors attended this year's billy billy world expo china's animation and comics market. is being driven by young chinese born between one thousand nine hundred and two thousand and nine wealthier than their parents were with money to spend. by twenty twenty the market is expected to be worth just over thirty three billion dollars that's ten billion more than just a year ago japanese any news to dominate the chinese market but now more chinese artist stuff finding a voice and gaining followers. when i started i was copying japanese cartoons and my favorite cartoons but eventually i

found out that everyone has their own style and the chinese market everyone is doing their individual style and there are differences as you. have it. is one of china's hottest cartoonists and his lightest hit comic which stars a high school student who's also a towers to priests with secret super powers has been viewed one hundred sixty million times online. total mental issue that comes up according to data from a platform people want to have chinese comics and animation and they don't regard domestic comics as worse than jeff and as once a week from my perspective domestic comics are of a high caliber con man the top shelf. the chinese production and sales still lag behind the japanese and american markets and chinese technology giants like nettie's tents and holdings and baidu splashing on comic

artists production firms and lavish marketing campaigns. and that's all your business for now soon has more world news to thank you care hard we're going to die dearie and now on the porch of the mega city of lagos is one of the most important in west africa also one the most chaotic one month ago in nigeria as a vice president ordered a seventy two hour security operation to clear up the traffic jams around the port but very little progress appears to have been made thousands of trucks still wait up to four weeks to get into the port our correspondent adrian chris reports from lagos. breakfast on the side of the road is nothing new for this truck driver. segment is stuck in yet another traffic jam near the port in lagos. by the five days we've been stuck here for five days nothing's moving it's very stressful the only thing we can do is eat sleep and wait.
