4:02 pm
thanks for joining us i'm marion evans dean. hungary's prime minister viktor orbán isn't strong for where he's defending his policies to the european parliament it comes ahead of a vote in the parliament to censure his populist government orbán has provoked the european union with anti immigrant measures which include prison for anyone found helping an undocumented migrant there are also concerns about the independence of the judiciary and hungry and the rise of corruption if enough parliamentarians vote in favor of political sanctions against hungary the country could lose its voting rights. let's cross over now to the e.u. parliament in strasbourg where our correspondent next hoffman is standing by i'm so max viktor orban has been addressing parliamentarians what has been his message.
4:03 pm
it's the message we expected beforehand it was the message of a strong man catering to his home crowd saying that this was unjustified and that no matter what he was going to say in front of the parliament that everybody present here in strasburg had already made up his mind condemning not only him not only a government but a whole country he went on citing what hungry did in the past how it fought for democracy how it withstood the soviet army so you could see he really took out the the big gun here to well to glorify hungary in a way and to vilify those that might or might not trigger this famous article seven but what is actually at stake we have a report that we've prepared by catherine martin's to explain the whole situation surrounding hungry and the possible trigger of article seven.
4:04 pm
are you do we have that report. max it seems we're having some trouble getting that for getting that report so in the meantime if we hopefully will be able to get that report can you tell us what that orbán persuasive i mean is he going to convince parliamentarians not to vote to support triggering the procedures that could see hungary slapped with political sanctions. this speech he gave here in front of the parliament will certainly not help because it was a conciliatory in many ways he didn't give anything he didn't give in she didn't hint at a possible compromise at relenting from the projects that are criticized by well yes a majority of the groups here in parliament but that doesn't mean that he won't be able to do so later because as i said earlier this was for the home crowd but later on he will talk to the other politicians of his own party the e.p. the european people party behind closed doors and that's where he might make
4:05 pm
concessions to convince his own party members not to vote in favor of article seven you might think this is this should be the easy thing because they're all from the same party but in fact it's not because many of the p.p. are fed up with what the dorgan is doing they don't feel represented by what he's doing and therefore for example the austrian m.e.p. so members of the european parliament have already said that they would vote in favor of triggering article seven. all right max with seems now we do have that report by catherine martin's about what's at stake for hungary let's have a look. i am the state is what this poster says many hungry and see there right british prime minister as to time the theory and many people are worried about core democratic values such as free speech or an independent judiciary many members of the e.u. parliament say the rule of law in hungary is being threatened as are those who want to defend human rights so they say the e.u.
4:06 pm
must take a tougher line for example criminalizing migration related activities or dismantling the law is no longer tolerated the situation in hungary has got to the point where the e.p.a. has to stand up for its for our values actually as europeans and trigger article. article seven allows the european union to initiate procedure against a member state it could even lose its voting rights for the first time in the us history the european commission checkered article seven in july against poland despite a similar case against it hungary has so far a marriage to unscathed the reasons for this are mainly political according to green m.e.p. . she examined the legal situation in hungary on behalf of the european parliament and she also sees clear breaches of the e.u.'s fundamental values. the political party is member of the european people's party and they have friends in
4:07 pm
commission and in parliament in hungary viktor orban still has a majority behind him in the european parliament though it could very different. all right so that was a report by catherine martin's now max so if article seven is triggered should hungary be worried i mean we've seen a similar case with poland as we mentioned in the report without any consequences what would happen with hungry now. well poland isn't done yet these procedures usually typically take a very long time we're talking about years here and the end is what they call the nuclear option the possible stripping of the e.u. voting rights but that's unlikely because any country could veto that so in the case of hungry poling could veto that or the other way around but still it's a lot of trouble for the government that's in charge has to give a lot of explanations but the main reason probably the main reason why the torben wants to avoid this is that this would get him one step closer possibly even the
4:08 pm
decisive step closer to being expelled from the biggest party in the european parliament and talked about it earlier the e.p. peace those that's the party with the most members of the european parliament so with the most influence it's also a party that gives viktor orban a certain kind of legitimacy of although many of his policies are outside of the scope of this conservative grouping so he wants to avoid that that's what he doesn't want to that's why we expect him to make some concessions later on in the day behind closed doors that might sue that least some of those party members max huffman reporting from the e.u. parliament in strasbourg many thanks. now turkey's president wretch of type heir to one has warned that the entire world stands to pay the price of an assault on syria's invalid province writing in the
4:09 pm
u.s. newspaper the wall street journal he said all members of the international community must understand their responsibilities he also warned that the consequences of in action are immense tens of thousands of people have fled into live as syrian and russian forces prepare to take the rebels final stronghold those staying behind or making improvised gas masks and shelters amid fears that the assad government could deploy chemical weapons. many of the people fleeing the offensive in the lead have been heading north of towards the border with turkey correspondent there visited a refugee camp there where he met a boy who was orphaned when a barrel bomb hit his home in the city of hama. he's only fourteen but omar hussain alo already knows what suffering is three years ago he fled to this refugee camp in northern italy disabled traumatized and off and here
4:10 pm
he found safety he now sells 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 omar's family home was hit by a barrel bomb in his hometown of hama the blast killed his parents and left him badly wounded. cannot go mother will have a helicopter boma the 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 he comes to share your. then i fell out of bed and i couldn't get back up that my leg had been amputated. but that.
4:11 pm
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 younger sister bushra survived the blast an injured they flipped it lived together. she had been a model student but school stopped after the bombs fell. i hope i can 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
4:12 pm
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 was showing. omar 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. the united states has threatened to take tough military action against the assad regime if it launches another chemical attack in syria and this time germany is
4:13 pm
said to be considering a supporting role well for more on this let's bring in our political correspondent christopher spring date hello to you christopher so these reports say that the german military is now in talks with the united states over deploying aircraft to syria what more can you tell us about this. well essentially the reports that you're talking about reported that german and u.s. officials met last month to discuss the possibility all of germany taking part in military retaliation operations in syria in the event of chemical attacks by the assad regime. and the german defense ministry. also enough on the line is the conservative defense minister here in germany she's asked her officials to examine viable options apparently there are things like reconnaissance flights on the table battle damage assessment flights but also bombing raids to be conducted
4:14 pm
by the by german fighter jets this does not mean that the german government has already taken a decision on whether to take part it does mean that german defense experts are looking at whether they're viable options to take part if necessary well christopher there are many here in germany that are very against any kind of combat role of for germany also within the government there is said to be quite a lot of division on this issue isn't there. that's right you know given germany's nazi past military operations abroad are always an incredibly hot potato in national politics this time is no different broadly speaking you have senior figures. within the ranks of chance the manacles conservatives who are in favor of examining whether germany should take part you have someone like no but russia
4:15 pm
can for instance the influential head of the parliamentary affairs committee he's being quoted as saying that this kind of operation would be legitimate if its goal is to protect civilians against massive war crimes being committed by the syrian regime on the other side of the debate you have very prominently the leader of the military exercises is the end. end of the cold war hundreds of thousands of russian troops have been joined in eastern siberia by military personnel from china and mongolia when nato says the exercises show that russia is preparing for what it calls a large scale conflict. military equipment from all over the country deploys for the largest drill since the fall of the soviet union a demonstration of military strength the like of which has never been seen before in the russian federation according to the defense ministry three hundred thousand soldiers are involved that's a third of the country's soldiers thirty six players and military vehicles and
4:16 pm
tanks will be taking part as russia tries out its latest technology and for the first time china is joining the war games until now you only very close allies such as ballerinas have been allowed to participate a small contingent from mongolia is also involved as the drills got underway russian president vladimir putin greeted his chinese counterpart paying at the economic forum and blood of all stock the two countries are closer now you than it any other time in their history just a western sanctions russia is looking to deepen its economic ties with china if no other leader has met putin more often than she only three thousand chinese soldiers are involved in the joint exercise a tiny minority but the message this sends a significant even if russia and china are at odds in some foreign policy issues such as crimea or eastern ukraine militarily at least they are moving closer together. and now to some of the other stories making news around the world at

politicians and joined relatives of the victims survivors and rescuers for a solemn ceremony it began at eight forty six am the moment the first plane slammed into the north tower relatives read out the names of the nearly three thousand people who lost their lives when the hijacked planes crashed into the twin towers in new york the pentagon in washington and a pennsylvania field. now the white house says president donald trump has received a letter from north korean leader kim jong un requesting a second summit they met for the first time in june the letter was described as very positive and that's despite weeks of apparent deadlock between the two sides. oh how my shoulder and his story can shake that raised hopes of a to taunt between north korea and the united states both sides apparently working

towards the denuclearize ation of the korean peninsula with demands on king joan to cut his nuclear arsenal but since that friendly summit in june the talks have stalled. u.s. president donald trump even canceling his secretary of state's visit to pyongyang now though relations appear to be back on track. the president has received a letter from kim jong il was a very warm very positive letter the primary purpose of the letter was to request and look to schedule another meeting with the president which we are open to and are already in the process of courtenay doing that. on sunday north korea marked its seventieth anniversary. although military to the core there were no intercontinental ballistic missiles on display at this year's founding day parade
4:33 pm
and that seen a significant. south korean president moving jay in the has urged both p.r. nyang and washington to be bold. in order for us to move towards the next level of dismantling north korea's existing nuclear weapons the leaders of north korea and the united states once again must of big ideas and take bold decisions. for me so you don't have much of that rests on these two men and whether a second summit will result in the denuclearization much of the world is desperate to see. us. the tell all book about u.s. president donald trump's administration has gone on sale fear was written by the veteran journalist bob woodward whose reporting on the watergate scandal helped bring down a former president richard nixon while woodward's new book paints
4:34 pm
a picture of a white house in complete chaos it's been denounced by trump but that has not deterred eager readers. they arrived at just before midnight to get their first peek of fear. not a horror movie well not quite the book is the latest warts and all tale of the apparent chaos inside donald trump's white house is written by the journalist bob woodward if that name sounds familiar it's because he's already brought down one president richard nixon after the watergate scandal in one nine hundred seventy four. it's an important book. woodward is a respected. journalist researcher author. and it's pretty serious stuff going on in the white house my mind was open at the beginning but i'm out right right now this is not the united states of america that i call my country it is frightening. the book relies on testimony from senior officials in
4:35 pm
the white house for example chief of staff john kelly is quoted as calling the president an idiot something he since tonight. trump's also dealing with a form out from an anonymous new york times piece that painted the picture of a white house in disarray to become onder in chief the woodward book is just another example of fake news. the book means nothing it's a work of fiction. and that's on surprisingly is a view shared by these trump supporters in washington a rare species here in the capital is not your average politician who's trying to fix things he's coming in from the outside and the establishment does not like that on both sides of the aisle specially on the well so i don't even i don't even bother to america to bother reading that garbage 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
4:36 pm
the end of the day you know what we get if we don't get down the track we get that going snowflake that. the allegations and revelations in woodward's book are washing over these people they only have good words for their president. the. people in saudi arabia are sounding off following the arrest of a man shown eating breakfast with a woman in a video shared online saudi authorities called the viral video offensive and they urged people to respect the kingdom's rules regarding gender segregation now federico from d.w. social media is here in the studio with me and she's got more on that story so federico what exactly can be seen in this video well marianna it's a scene that in many other countries would very likely be considered completely ordinary but not in saudi arabia that video shows a man who is filming himself while having something to eat with
4:37 pm
a woman later local media identified him as a hotel worker from egypt who was living in saudi arabia while the woman is said to be. colleague nothing too crazy happens in that video really you can see them and they're eating taxiing they're waving towards the end she appears here you can see that to be feeding him a piece of food that's it really however at this could have be consequences for that man and actually saudi prosecutors said he might be facing up to five years in jail you are right but what exactly is he being charged with. i mean that video went viral and so it also came to the attention of authorities they arrested the man for what they called several violations of for example they said that taking a job reserved for saudis but also it's against the saudi laws as a single man to be sitting down and chatting with with a woman in
4:38 pm
a public space and now the saudi prosecution actually it tweeted in response to that incident that all residents of saudi arabia must follow the kingdom's laws and respect the values traditions and feelings of saudi society it's not clear on the other hand if the woman has also been arrested now look what kind of response has this generated on social media well a lot of criticism among conservatives in saudi arabia they share the government's view that in a married man and woman should not be sharing a meal like that we also have a common here by a saudi woman who writes unfortunately some girls don't get it just because i work in a mixed gender workplace that doesn't mean that i stop setting limits with a male colleagues on the other hand of course we're also seeing a lot of outrage at this arrest in saudi arabia also in egypt where demand comes
4:39 pm
from we have an egyptian t.v. presenter here for example he's calling the man's arrest confusing and asking whether this is really keeping is really consists. with saudi arabia's push for reforms and we have seen a push for reforms however this is this is a reminder that the country remains in many ways a deeply conservative society indeed and change does take time perhaps i'll write. you from social media many thanks indeed thank you. you're watching news still to come. a new movie tells the story of bertold price of three penny opera the original musical theater show is a classic find out if the film matches up. first then is back with some more business news and then you've got a look at an economy that is on the up and up yep ten countries that are part of
