disappear. sixty of. the globe. this week. this is due to be a news live from berlin russia stages of the biggest war games since the soviet era . moscow says the exercises are purely defensive but nato fears russia is preparing for war we'll have the very latest from the russian capital also coming up. warnings of a humanitarian catastrophe as syrian and russian forces prepared to take it live

problems thirty thousand civilians have already fled many more are taking to the road. plus the book president trump calls a joke in there cause. we had the reviews last week and now the book by watergate reporter bob woodward goes on sale to find out what some trump supporters think about. i'm brian thomas thanks so much for being with us the russian military is conducting its biggest movers and the end of the cold war hundreds of thousands of russian soldiers are taking part in maneuvers across the country in eastern siberia they're being joined by troops from china and mongolia these drills will continue for a week russia's defense ministry says they will involve some thirty six thousand vehicles one thousand planes and eighty. warships nato says russia is preparing for

a large scale conflict. so what's behind these maneuvers were the very latest let's cross over to moscow from did abuse yury russia how yuri nato has contend these exercises as a prelude to conflict why is russia along with china fielding some three hundred thousand troops this week well brian of course that the russian army is very large in terms of the number of soldiers and military acknowledges to moscow organized to such a war games every year on the other hand of course it's about showing military might especially against the nato russia doesn't see itself necessarily as an enemy of nato rather a competitor but a competitor it can get more and more problems with we can see these problems from time to time on the russian border with the nato countries in the area when russian jet fighters are approaching nato aircraft very dangerously and that could be

understood as a military provocation or in the east of ukraine they are russia supports the separatists with all military strength and that ultimately around is this feeling among the neighbors in poland and in the baltic countries and that's he is understandable if three hundred thousand soldiers to do military exercises which is not only a test just in case russia has to defend itself but also a signal at clear signal against the west europe these aren't just the biggest maneuvers in decades this is also the first time china is taking part are these two countries integrating their very large military. well both countries obviously approaching each other the military although china participates with much of the few troops as russia just three thousand soldiers along with a craft and helicopter us. russia and china have trained together about thirty

times since two thousand and three but this is the first time china participates at the strategic level military experts assume that china can profits from russia what time experience in syria for example and he crane eastern ukraine china might have obviously even more more than that victim and spot is apparently far behind russia in terms of officer training experts say an interesting question brian is why is that close a military ties between shah russia and china could be and nightmare or danger for the united states because not only economic but now also military cooperation between the two nations can grow more and more both countries have similar ideas on what to the world all the should be strong state weak civil society north american coalitions yes the coalitions with others especially and to american countries did of use moscow bureau chief yuri rich shadow thanks very much yuri for bringing us

up to date on this well in syria the russian military is launching air strikes against the last rebel stronghold in that country and province united nations is warning of a possible humanitarian catastrophe there thirty thousand people have fled the problems this month alone and there are fears that chemical weapons might be used there in the region at the moment those thing put or preparing for an expected all out offensive. making use of everything to survive this improvised mass this one seven if residents desperate approach to protect himself and his fellow syrians from a gas attack. oh yeah sure these gas masks are important now especially after the latest threats of a chemical strike the russians claim that terrorists will do that but that's a lie everybody knows that the russians and the syrian regime used chemical weapons

it would be more. like many others in the lead he spoke in makeshift shelter as he expects a government offensive on the province to get worse. this is footage of what was said to be a syrian barrel bomb attack. president assad's forces backed by russia and iran recently began recapturing the province of its lip from rebels. since then tens of thousands have been trying to escape the airstrikes but since the area's home to three million people many more could follow. turkish aid organizations have joined other relief groups as they try to fulfil people's basic needs it's a tall order. we saw that we expect massive migration in the it's estimated that between seven hundred thousand and one million people will try to leave. going to do will you do them said his organization could eventually dispatch at least one

thousand trucks carrying food and medical supplies but considering the threat of a chemical attack that aid might fall terribly short. a correspondent daniel hasler visited a refugee camp in the north of it love he met a boy there who was were offended when a barrel bomb hit his home in the city of hama. he's only fourteen but omar hussein arlo already knows what suffering is three years ago he fled to this refugee camp in northern italy and disabled traumatized and off and here he found safety you know ourselves food and drinks from this tent and. i work here day and night and managed to earn about a euro a day it's just enough to survive but. not almost family home was hit by a barrel bomb in his hometown of hama the blast killed his parents and left him

badly wounded. now go ahead with a helicopter bombed our house people had warned us about the air raids we were taken to hospital two weeks later i woke up and had the feeling something was missing. that surely all has say. then i fell out of bed and i couldn't get back up and that my leg had been amputated. the left leg. remained in hospital for three months and gradually learned to walk with crutches his body is covered in scars and he's racked with pain he's blind in one eye. incredibly his youngest sister bushra survived the blast only injured they fled to live together. she had been a model student but school stopped after the bombs fell. back and go back to

school one day but it will be difficult i can't leave my brother alone in the tent . eight hundred families live at the camp on the syrian turkish border among them are hundreds of children only basic necessities are available here there's no real education and hardly any medical supplies hope faded long ago it's been replaced by worry of what's to come. we've noticed the air raids have started up again there's a lot of fear in the camp especially among women and children everyone is scared no one knows where to go we already fled the bombs once and that was to hear. omar and bushra hussein alo don't want to flee again the border to turkey seems impossible and heading to a part of syria under government control is out of the question.

i don't know where to go but of course i'd like to leave syria for better care. dreams of a better life he hopes he'll one day get a prosthetic leg and drugs to ease his pain but here such relief is unlikely. now for some of the other stories making the news today around the world the white house has received a letter from north korean leader kim jong un asking for a second meeting with president trump press secretary sarah sanders says the letter was very warm and that the president is open to the idea the two met for the first time in june but relations have deteriorated since the. gas tanker truck explosion in nigeria has left thirty five people dead injured hundreds more explosion reported. kurt of the gas stations customers were refilling gas cylinders

. through is marking the return of an ancient golden mask from germany after a twenty year legal battle. the century funeral mass was unveiled and proof presidential palace after it was handed over to the peruvian embassy here in berlin was seized from an art dealer in germany in one thousand nine hundred ninety. all mass evacuations have been ordered along the atlantic coast of the u.s. ahead of the most powerful storm to menace that region in decades more than a million people in virginia and south carolina are getting out in the face of hurricane florence. this is quite literally the calm before the storm measure time as usual for the residents of this north carolina seaside town but in today's time this stretch of coastline could be hit by winds of more than two hundred kilometers per hour we do have a plan. to perhaps evacuated we want to watch it through today and see what's

happening. to. others here anoxic taking any chances. protecting their possessions and clearing supermarket shelves supplies are already running low it's a similar story at petrol stations long queues are forming coming any i want to make sure my car's full of gas but i also want to make sure i have enough for our generator. residents are being warned is not to underestimate what is currently a category four storm as it heads towards the u.s. coast it's growing in strength due to hit land thursday morning in the u.s. more than one million people have been told they must evacuate. today let me be clear. north carolina is taking hurricane florence seriously. and you should to get ready. today i've asked the president

for a disaster declaration on behalf of north carolina so we can get federal help as soon as possible. and it's not just the storm that will turn this picture of calm on its head it's heavy rains that all say full cost causing possible flash floods and mudslides. well the tell all book about life behind the scenes and president trump's white house is gone say well we have the reviews last week when the president called it a joke and it caught on the american people it was written by bob woodward one of the reporters who exposed the watergate scandal w.'s marsh waiter asked a gathering of trump supporters what they thought of the book and its author. the trump international hotel is an island of refuge for this meeting of trans supporters in the otherwise extremely democratic lucy of washington d.c. people here can bask in their mutual love of the president and ignore negative media like say a certain book by

a certain legendary journalist as bob woodward's book hits the shelves it's already created waves among the president's detractors for trump supporters this is simply a more negative media coverage and the other day a fake news for a president that they still very staunchly supports it's a left wing attack getting ready for the elections to try to energize that side of the of the populace there's been so many books out but that's not going to step down from supporters we're very loyal to him because at the end of the day you know what we get if we don't get down a track we get that wing snowflake nuts he's not your average politician he's trying to fix things he's coming in from the outside and the establishment is not like that on both sides of the aisle especially on the left so i don't even i don't even bother to i'm not going to bother reading that garbage even members of congress are jumping on the bandwagon to discredit the two time pulitzer prize winner and his reporting he's a lifelong liberal he is he may be

a journalist but he has a bias he has an approach if you look at his his four decades of work you're going to find that he doesn't do. well again shins of a morality cronyism and lying contained in woodward's book i mean nothing here is from supporters of only good words for their president. in the eastern german town of keratin the death of a young man during a confrontation with two afghan migrants has stirred up anti immigrant tensions a post-mortem showed he died of acute heart failure after the encounter the region has been on edge following the anti immigrant protest comes two weeks ago when kurds and people gathered last night to protest and to grieve. a memorial service and same jacob's church. mourning the death of a twenty two year old local man. the priest leads

a prayer for the deceased marcus for his family and for his friends and also for the community of curtain. the tradition on the mood is still tense and the division in society is also palpable and it's beginning to gain momentum once again here's a sponsor question. on the one side residents of curtain who are praying for togetherness and just a few minutes walk away the scene of the violence many have responded to the incident with anger. let's get you got a camera out of. danger toward the press but also toward the perpetrators. whoever does something like this should be lined up against the wall and shot. claim unspun says he was the best friend of the deceased.

back in the center of town a meeting of enraged citizens and right wing extremists. no calls here for an execution but calls like deport them all and germany for germans can be heard local politicians however distanced themselves from these slogans and called. one can disagree politically but it should be a constructive debate and there are lines that shouldn't be crossed because we have a set of values to defend values that up for discussion. again on the second night after the deadly incident there is another so-called memorial procession. this time the far right if tea party put out a call to join but the hate filled slogans never rose it seems the prayers for peace had been answered if only for this moment. we have some sports now and

a selection of results from the new european football format the u.a.e. phoenicians league several heavyweights were in action monday reigning european champions portugal beat italy without their star player rinaldo sweden scored twice but couldn't match turkey's three scotland strode to a two no home one against albania while kossovo came out on top in a battle of the minnows against the faroe islands. well mexican football club has enlisted the coaching help of none other than diego maradona the argentinian legend has limited coaching experience but for locals and a northern mexico city right in the heart of drug cartel territory as a rival offers a ray of hope. for the kids of. a chance to celebrate best city. rarely do the residents here read positive headlines about that. c.n.n.'s going to c.n.n. as a city when one for negative things now will be known for sports.

but diego maradona himself of course is known for much more than just his sporting achievements and there are concerns that this may just be a nutritive publicity stunt. an unproven coach he'll nonetheless be paid a reported one hundred fifty thousand u.s. dollars a month by the rado's a second tier club whose players complain of missed paychecks and still the fans are hopeful. we want him to remain clean to coach to give it all for the teen and for him to vindicate his name biggest unfortunately from what we keep reading there's a lot of talk about all the addiction he's had and how they're not going to allow him to properly coach the team. like maradona to sounds hopeful about his new start with those. who. i want to give

us what i lost when i was sick. no we didn't come here for a holiday. we came here to work to give these guys a hand judges in one nine hundred eighty six maradona lifted the world cup trophy here in mexico whether his time in korea and so happily remains to be seen. the motorcycle racer a model for noddy has been fired from his team after pulling a rival's brake lever during a race on sunday the italian was competing in the moto to race in san marino it was neck and neck with stefano moneths when he pulled his rivals break both were travelling at a speed of over two hundred kilometers per hour but amazingly did not crash after the race finished rob he was given a two or a suspension and the merit only stivers team has now camp sold his contract to riders and apologize calling his behavior to stressful.

that's over the balik in our business is a very bad year for ryanair customers wasn't certainly if you want to fly with ryan air it is very difficult these days because the passengers of europe's largest budget carrier ryanair well once again after brace themselves for strikes the airlines pilots and cabin crew in germany are said to stage a twenty four hour walkout starting wednesday stuff a calling for better working conditions and higher wages thousands of passengers in germany and elsewhere could have to deal with canceled flights and long delays last month strikes by ryan air pilots grounded four hundred flights affecting fifty thousand passengers across europe. and for more on this let's cross over now to our financial correspondent boosler standing by for us in frankfurt connaught how are those ongoing repetitive strike actions affecting ryan s.

share price. monaco the pressure has eased a little bit and that is because the bosses of ryanair in several european countries have managed to strike individual deals at least with the pilots' unions before those deals it looked like unions all over europe might in some sort of concerted action try to put pressure on the management to agree on common standards all over europe now there is still some concerted action but definitely the chances that the national unions will strike individual deals are arising and this is good for the management of ryan air for the shareholders because the business model the whole strategy of this no frills airline relies on the opportunity of having different national jurisdictions in terms of labor law and workers' rights now but nevertheless now says that it will ban the media from its annual general

shareholder meeting does this have anything to do with those strikes. of course want to we can only guess around itself says that it wants to able the shareholders to and i quote this discuss all matters freely with the board without these discussions being distorted for p.r. purposes now of course the question on the trading floor is what is right and afraid of legally there is not much we the media can do but of course all this jeopardizes the whole principle of a public company a company listed on an open market at a stock exchange should regularly open its books at it should regularly engage in a discussion of what is going on usually companies are doing this at their shareholders meetings but now well the media are left out maybe a journalist is also a shareholder who knows it was not in french for now thank you very much.

and staying with the aviation sector and boeing now expects to sell more planes in china the american aircraft maker says it will sell more than seven thousand five hundred aircraft worth one point two trillion dollars in the chinese market over the next two decades despite the high ongoing trade conflict between beijing and washington boeing expects to sell around six percent more planes by the year twenty thirty seven than previously estimated china is the world's fastest growing aviation market so far boeing has not been directly hit by the ongoing trade spats between china and the u.s. beijing has committed at kraft to on its list of you as goods affected by retaliatory tariffs. and staying with trade american trade officials say that they're hoping to reach an agreement to lift some trade barriers with the european union by november the comments come after a meeting between trade commissioner says the amounts to a u.s. counterpart robert light highs ties between the two have come under strain with the

u.s. threatening to impose import tariffs on e.u. cars while the latest talks suggest the two sides could be ready to remove terrorists on some industrial products monstre said last week that the profound disagreements continue to exist on trade policy. well a very special week ten years after the collapse of lehman brothers which of course triggered the global financial crisis the economy is on both sides of the atlantic are looking ripostes again corporate profits are rising wall street is celebrating one record after the next but growth has been fueled mainly by low interest rates which prompted a lot of companies to go into debt on a massive scale. tesla is ten billion dollars in debt. net flix eight billion dollars. a pop up lloyd germany's leading shipping company is seven billion dollars in the red these are just three examples of loose lending

never before have companies worldwide had such easy access to money as in recent years. according to a study by the mckinsey management consultancy worldwide corporate debt has increased to sixty six trillion dollars almost double what it was at the start of the financial crisis ten years ago. money is never been as cheap as since the financial crisis central banks flooded the markets with trillions to help financial institutions and economies get back on their feet. the us federal reserve looks set to raise its key interest rate again the european central bank on the other hand is not ready to take that risk in fact the e.c.b. is still in crisis mode with its zero interest rate policy loans still cost virtually nothing some fear of the accumulated corporate debt could trigger the next global financial crisis. all the money that was borrowed has to be paid back

if interest rates go up repayment will be more expensive and may have to be countered financed with new jet if that gets compounded by an economic downturn many companies could find themselves in a tight spot. and here's a reminder of the top stories we're following for you. russia has begun its biggest war games since the end of the cold war hundreds of thousands of russian soldiers that taking in maneuvers part in maneuvers across eastern siberia moscow says the exercise is purely defensive but nato fia's that russia is preparing for war. and watching the news like from. the lane was coming out of the top of the hour thanks watching n.c.s. is. trying to.
