you've lost your home your parents on a limb d.w. goes to a refugee camp in syria is it live province to meet a teenager with no way back to go. and russia stages its biggest will game since the soviet era moscow says the joint military exercises with china are purely defensive and nato accuses russia of preparing for war. i'm phil graham welcome to the program under as prime minister is that the european parliament in strasburg defending his populist government ahead of a vote to impose sanctions against it fit to all ban accuse the european parliament of blackmailing his country over its immigration policies described port's detailing breaches of the law as an insult there are also concerns about the independence of hungary's courts on the rise of corruption the parliament votes
6:02 pm
tomorrow if they decide in favor of sanctions hungary could lose its e.u. voting rights. viktor orban did not hold back here he is with some choice words for european law make us make sure you let me don't or curse them after dinner cost and i've come here today because you're not going to condemn just the government but a nation as well off that we're going to denounce hungary that's been a member of the family of christian european nations for a thousand years. you're going to denounce hungary that contributed to the great history of europe with hard work and shed its blood when it was needed. like i would all parked after authorized debate happened at the e.u. second home in strasburg where we find they don't do europe correspondent max often welcome max so victor all beyond that with much to say in his own defense what did
6:03 pm
you make of his statement. actually that sound byte fill was well picked because it showed the strategy of the trying to deflect from the details and the actual accusations that were made in that report to saying that hungary was being condemned and attacked even as a nation so that's what he's trying to do not really react but trying to put this on a national level on a nationalistic level even that's the strategy he's been governing with now for years also even putting this into historic context saying hungary fought for democracy even stood up against the soviets so that gives you a sense of where he was trying to go there of course parliamentarians and also representatives of the e.u. commission pushed back very noticeable here funds to moments the vice president of the e.u. commission said the strategy that shows there in deflecting all those actual arguments going into nationalism was and i quote here the cowards way out so it
6:04 pm
seems nothing much has changed here in the positions and just a reminder what we're talking about here watch this report by catherine martin is that explains it very well. i am the state is what this poster says many hungry and see their right british prime minister as the teary 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. must take a tougher line. for example criminalizing migration related activity. is no longer tolerated. to the point that the e.p.a. has to stand up for its for our. european. article seven allies the european union to initiate. a member state it could even lose its
6:05 pm
rights for the first time in the history the european commission checkered article seven in july against poland despite a similar case against it hungary has so far a marriage unscathed the reasons for this are mainly political according to greene and. she examined the legal situation in hungary on behalf of the european parliament and clear breaches of the e.u.'s fundamental. the political party member of the european people's party and they have friends in commission and in parliament in hungary viktor orban still has a majority behind him in the european parliament though it could look very different. which way is tomorrow's vote likely to go. it really depends if the e.p.
6:06 pm
the european people's party which is a part of so or go on as a member of the party makes its members stick to a certain party line in this case it would be against article seven and it's going to be hard to get the two thirds majority now we don't expect that to happen actually just a reminder p.p. is kingmaker here and we expect this evening that the members of the e.p. are given free hand to vote any way they want so according to their conscience if that happens then because it is in trouble because many members of the e.p. p.r. very dissatisfied with the path that the door bun has taken they feel like he's not representing the values not only of the european union but especially of the european people's party and so we expect many of those politicians to vote for triggering article seven so in this case against hungry and so that's why our sources here believe that the two thirds majority will actually happen tomorrow and
6:07 pm
that article seven will be triggered on wednesday no guarantees but it seems more likely than not so if i if the vote goes against hungry and is triggered. what sort of consequence will this have. well theoretically in a well rather distant future it might lead to the stripping of the voting rights that you voting rights of hungry although that is a long path and if there is one country that vetoes it it doesn't happen know there's something more immediate and more serious for veto or because his party is still a part of the e.p. which is the strongest party in the european parliament so it gives him legitimacy it gives him power it helps it and if really article seven is triggered then it's going to be hard for the other the members and especially for the leader of the p.p. bunted veber to keep the fetus party so party in the e.p.
6:08 pm
piece so that might be the beginning of an exclusion from the e.p.a. and it barely that something big to orban once to avoid that's why it is possible that behind closed doors oppose as opposed to what he did in the speech his public speech so behind closed doors he might offer up some compromises to soothe some of the members. and facts here. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world at least forty five people including several children were killed after a bus carrying pilgrims plunged into a valley in southern india witnesses say the driver lost control of the vehicle transporting passengers from a hindu temple india has one of the highest rates of traffic fatalities in the world. a petrol tanker explosion in central nigeria has left thirty five people dead and hundreds more injured it happened at a filling station as the time was discharging petrol. you noted states's

marking the seventeenth on a version of the september eleventh attacks in which nearly three thousand people lost their lives ceremonies were held at the three sites targeted by islam is terrorists including these pictured here at the world trade center in new york. turkey's president has warned that the entire world needs to pay the price needs to statens to pay the price a big part of an assault on syria's edley province rising in the u.s. newspaper the wall street journal budget type two one said all members of the international community must understand their responsibilities he went on to warn that the consequences of inaction are immense tens of thousands of people have fled syrian and russian forces prepared to take the rebels' final stronghold those staying behind making improvised gas masks and shelters amid fears that the assad

government could deploy chemical weapons. when many of the people fleeing the italy befriends of have been heading north towards the border with the w.'s daniel hecla has been to a refugee camp there where he met a boy who was orphaned when a barrel bomb bases in the city of hama. he's only fourteen but omar hussein allo already knows what suffering is three years ago he fled to this refugee camp in northern italy disabled traumatised and off and here he found safety you know ourselves food and drinks from this tent and i'm just. 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
6:11 pm
badly wounded. not. 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 some specialty or. then i fell out of bed and i couldn't get back up that my leg had been amputated. but that closed door. omar 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 and injured they fled to italy together. she had been a model student but school stopped after the bombs fell. i hope i can go back to
6:12 pm
school one day but it will be difficult i can't leave my brother alone in a 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 arlo 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.
6:13 pm
i don't know where to go but of course i'd like to leave syria for better care. 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. meanwhile germany's government says he's talking with allies about deploying german forces to syria if they assad regime uses chemical weapons to attack it led german us officials of the force only discuss using german jets to drop bombs over syria or egypt air force is already carrying out refueling and recognizance missions around the country social democrats chancellor merkel's coalition partners say they won't back any german military involvement. in the w political correspondent christopher spring he can tell us well welcome christopher let's start with the background to us. well as you mentioned german and u.s.
6:14 pm
officials have been talking to each other about the option of using german air force jets in a possible retaliate remission if the assad regime were to use chemical weapons in its offensive. it's expected offensive in. some of the things that are on the table of reconnaissance flights like the ones we were just looking at but also. battle damage assessment flights and even bombing raids by german jets so it is quite a controversial issue the german defense minister also left on the line has asked her officials to look at those options and look at whether any of them are viable how viable they are and this all does not mean that germany has already taken a decision to take part in potential retaliation but it does mean that the german
6:15 pm
government is examining a formal request made by one of its major allies so a deployment such as you outlined there that would be a significant departure from germany stands so far on the issue is causing divisions with chancellor merkel with chancellor merkel's government. absolutely you know military operations abroad given germany's nazi past are always a hot potato in german politics this time is no exception you have a number of senior figures in chancellor merkel's. conservatives who have sympathy with the idea of taking part with other allies they basically say the use of chemical weapons cannot be left unanswered on the other hand you have very prominently the leader of the social democrats andrea novelis categorically refusing that option she said and the social democrats will not agree either in parliament or in the government to germany's participation in war in syria so quite
6:16 pm
serious divisions so how likely would the chance to be to go ahead without the support of as speed the coalition is. well taking today's perspective i think it would be quite unlikely simply because if chancellor merkel were to ride roughshod over the opposition of you know one of the major partners in her already fragile coalition it would put that coalition. very much at risk again and. the categoric nature of her statement and the sharpness the terseness of her statement sort of reveals that. she's not going to be discussing this she's there are many many pacifists in the social democrats both within functionaries and among the ranks of their supporters and the party is losing so much support at the moment and renata it's going to do all she can to shore up that
6:17 pm
support christmas brigade thank you you're welcome. russia has begun its biggest military exercises since the end of the cold war hundreds of thousands of russian troops have been joined in eastern siberia by military personnel from china and mongolia nato says the exercises show russia is preparing for 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 troops thirty six thousand military vehicles and tanks are reported to be taking part as russia tries out its latest technology and for the first time china is joining the war games until now only very close allies such as ballo reuss have been allowed to participate

6:20 pm
in july twenty fifteen which was a couple of months before the american authorities came up with their allegations and obviously the judge says winterkorn did not seem to be necessary to pursue the matter further something the judge says into concert of them that's of course pretty strong wording against the case of the calm maker and then we have this other news today a.b.a. see the german car association car owners association together with the organization the german organization for consumer rights announced that it would launch a class action tomorrow they didn't say what this class action was about but everyone here is convinced that this will have to do with as well the lord lol maker here in germany only very recently introduced the possibility for such class actions and explicitly because of the diesel cheating scandal and yet another big story today

than eleven million dollars. amazing a decade since the lehman brothers bankruptcy things are looking up again corporate profits are rising wall street is celebrating one record after the next but growth has been fueled by low interest rates which have 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
6:24 pm
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 debt if that gets compounded by an economic downturn many companies could find themselves in a tight spot. i'm always talking about italy's crumbling economy or its banking
