plus the border to get to the educational. today on. this is. tonight germany's government in crisis as party leaders decide whether the country's spy chief should stay or go. and was forced to explain himself following controversial comments about recent far right protests in eastern germany he's become a divisive figure in the government with some party leaders demanding the chancellor fired him also coming up

a damning report by the catholic church in germany reveals priests raped and sexually abuse nearly four thousand children over seventy years and that the church failed to punish most of the perpetrators and the philippines on the lord as a powerful typhoon bears down on the country's northern regions hundreds of thousands are being evacuated from coastal areas as people there prepare for the worse. it's good to have you with us tonight the fate of germany's intelligence chief is straining the country's governing coalition germany's chancellor and key party leaders have held a crisis meeting aimed at resolving the dispute overhung. coalition partners the social democrats they want to mr moxon to resign following

controversial comments that he made about recent far right protests in the city of camden. could the president of germany's domestic secret service bring down the government that's what the papers are asking social democrats a conservative hun's georg masson must go if not they could quit angela merkel's governing coalition and there's anyone at the head of a security institution of our country has to be absolutely trustworthy and it's obvious that this trust no longer exists so there must be consequences for now conservatives are backing mohsen he's accused of improperly passing on sensitive information to germany's far right populist party the f.t. and a half team member told germany via the data was contained in an unreleased government report. when we spoke with mr marson about the report it wasn't available in printed form yet we talked about various numbers and figures such as right wing extremism left wing extremism and islamist threat. s.p.d.

chairwoman under the analysis met for crisis talks with merkel and conservatives on thursday but there was no breakthrough talks will continue next tuesday. and i'm joined now by my colleague chris durst brigade he's been covering the story for us here in berlin good evening to you krista first so how widely is it that will be out of a job. well the interesting thing is that last night he looked he was going to survive this crisis but the tide seems to turn either during the night this morning in particular the social democrats or the junior coalition partners in chancellor merkel's coalition have their stance stiffened quite considerably and they are fairly categoric in that demands for his resignation the opposition liberal free democrats they were also dillydallying last night but they now have

stiffened their stance as well so i would say there's a very big question mark on how long. it's going to survive in his post there's one persistent rumor going around in this evening which is that the three leaders who are talking to each other coalition leaders who are talking to each to each other in the chances office today their best solution to this most elegant solution to this would be if mustn't himself decided to step down thereby freeing them from the responsibility of firing him yeah i want to take a look at this tweet that was posted today the general secretary of the social democrats the s.p.d. lars clean bottle he tweeted it's completely clear to the s.p.d. party leadership that mohsen has to go miracle the german chancellor must act now christopher how politically explosive is the decisions around the monster and how explosive is it for the survival of this government. well that tweet that we just

saw there is exactly what i was saying the way that the social democrats have very much stiffened their stance in this crisis i don't think though that the chance of michael's coalition is going to crumble over this quite simply because the social democrat leadership i understand had a telephone conference earlier in the day during which they decided to stiffen their stance but not at the cost of leaving the coalition they seem to be in agreement that that would not be a clever political move at this moment our correspondent christopher brigade on the story for us tonight here in berlin christopher thank you and welcome. for the catholic church here in germany says it is distrust and a shame by the findings of a new report into the sexual abuse of children by priests the independent report which was commissioned by the church itself found that clergymen had abused or

raped nearly four thousand children over seventy years starting at the end of the second world war most of the victims were boys under the age of thirteen one of them spoke to d.w. about the violence that he endured as a young choir boy. when he was eight years old little kaiser was one of the world renowned catholic choir boys in the southern german city of work he lived in a boarding school where he was sexually abused by priests for several years two years ago he shared the painful memories that still haunt him iranians but if it turns him into the prefects room. down with my pajama bottoms. head into his lap. then he thrashed me. out. i only realized later that he pleasured himself by rubbing his genitals on the back of my head. in the study the catholic church noted three

thousand six hundred seventy seven victims of sexual violence over a period of nearly seventy years the victims were mostly male and mostly children one thousand six hundred seventy priests are accused of committing the crimes. observers complain that the church didn't release all its documents to the investigation and that abuse survivors weren't given the chance to be heard the authors of the study also pointed out that the number of victims has probably been greatly underestimated during the study they examined forty thousand files and they found that every third reported case was dealt with by the church itself and forty percent of reported cases were brought to court. the study says perpetrators were often transferred to other parishes without the community's knowledge of what they had done. received a one time payment of twenty five hundred euros for his suffering he and many

others are demanding that the catholic church confront it sexual abuse crisis with more transparency. well here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world two men have appeared on russian state television claiming to be the man that british prosecutors have accused of poisoning former spy sergei's cripple and his daughter the men say they did visit the english city of cells bury where this cripples reporters and but that they were just tourists the british government called the interview quote an insult to the public's intelligence and. many world leaders and dignitaries have attended the funeral of former u.n. secretary general kofi anon they hailed the veteran diplomat record as an advocate for humanity and world peace and non died in a swiss hospital last month at the age of eighty the us south eastern seaboard is bracing itself for hurricane florence the category two storm is expected to make

landfall late this evening or early tomorrow morning it's forecast to be the most dangerous hurricane to hit the region in a generation around two million people from virginia the carolinas and georgia have been told to leave low lying coastal areas. meanwhile in the philippines evacuations have begun ahead of a powerful typhoon which is expected to make landfall on saturday the philippines weather bureau says the storm is nine hundred kilometers wide and is packing maximum sustained winds of well over two hundred kilometers per hour more than four million people live in its path. this satellite image leaves no room for doubt the super typhoon is packing a punch and it's heading straight for the northern philippines. coote typhoon looks set to be the most powerful of this year's pacific storm season if its path doesn't change it will make landfall in the northeastern province of. all three g.'s of

a huge storm warnings across dozens of provinces in the north of the philippines more than four million people live in regions at risk from the storm some eight hundred thousand have been evacuated from their homes in areas most likely to be hit by heavy rains and winds of up to two hundred fifty kilometers an hour. that i'm scared that this is a very powerful typhoon more powerful than the recent months and rains that's why we're frightened. that. province is a major rice and corn producing region and harvest season is just about to begin so thai food could hardly have come at a worse time. police in western germany are facing fierce resistance as they attempt to remove dozens of protesters from a forest and the forest is due to be raised to be cut down to make way for a coal mine many of the activists have been living in tree houses in effort to

prevent the forest destruction despite being forcibly removed they say more protests are on the way. this is the escalation of a long running environmental conflict police dragging activists out of the humbucker forest the wooded area near cologne has been fiercely contested for six years activists have occupied the forest illegally now the police are sending in a large number of officers to evict them. were committed to not injuring people is to making everything as nonviolent as possible we have a monopoly on the use of force they won't come down on their own so we've set up a so-called high altitude intervention team which goes up there and tries to persuade them to come down if they don't they're brought down using physical force if i thought it was. a few weeks before the escalation we meet you know who wants to remain unidentified. she lives in

a tree house in the homburg forest. i don't know if it's too much to say i want to save the planet but i'm concerned about whether future generations will still see trees for example and. ninety percent of the forest has already disappeared. for forty years the energy group r w e has been clearing the forest to extract lignite or brown coal. it's the largest open cast lignite mine in europe. unfortunately the forest is located right in the way of the bulldozers so you can't dig under it or around it that's just not possible still the activists are committed to their values and challenge the energy company with their lifestyle of absolutely no consumption no and the up to one hundred activists want to survive

self sufficiently in the forest if possible without money eviction has been a constant threat for years they. i've often been clashes. as a finish for me what our job is doing here is incredibly violent there relocating entire villages they want to clear this forest they're destroying our climate i don't approve of violence against people from either side but when you standing up for your comrades i don't consider sabotage violence. on. so many but it's unlikely the activists will give up the tree houses where they have lived for years and they've called for a nationwide demonstrations and some do not even shy away from violence. the eviction that began today is far from over. as us forces now the bonus league is back after the international break in friday's

defend we need to try and play enough defensive game obviously after our own lucky result against a better brain and if we want to pick up points it was no matter where we're playing this season frankfurt are still adjusting after an off season full of change but will be aiming to put dortmund through the paces. in europe today with a w. news for all of us here in berlin thanks for the company will see you next talk. the first time doing this to take. credit it's a whole new world. line in cyberspace extreme
