domestic intelligence service by the end of the day. well that is indeed the big question waiting to be and said this evening karen by then and at the moment so far today we've heard very different reports on the one hand we're hearing some names already being thrown around as to who could replace germany's top spy chief and at the same time we're also hearing reports that there could soon be a compromise on the table. germany's interior minister and the german chancellor angela merkel are already meeting here in the chancellery behind me so there is talk that there could be a compromise on the table once the social democrats leader in on this arrives and she's expected to arrive in the next few minutes but of course any compromise is going to be a very difficult pill for the social democrats to swallow and they are very keen to see hands mohsen germany's chief spy kicked out of the intelligence the
4:05 pm
domestic intelligence agency it's only been a few months since the migration policy push to have the chance of government to the edge so how strained is this coalition now over this controversy. this could indeed turn the coalition send it back into crisis mode once again and as i mentioned if it should happen that. is not fired from his position then the s.p.d. the social democrats will be left with a very difficult position of course a decision to make so whether they want to continue in this coalition with michael's conservatives of course that is not going to be an easy decision for them to make at the moment at the polls not looking good for the social democrats or in their personal interests they really do need to stay in this grand coalition with michael's conservatives was a home for the country's interior minister seems to be
4:06 pm
a big stumbling block in this he and the chancellor of problems of the last few months and he's very much nailed his colors to mawson's must. yes indeed and the question is if. mohsen is fired will also go with him of course be a big decision. of course at the end of the day this is bring him up of migration policy back into the limelight once again this is the same issue which was the put the stumbling block for the grand coalition as you mentioned just a few months ago and so you since this coalition was formed back in march one thing that has become clear is that they cannot cooperate of course this took six months for this coalition to form and everyone said it would only be a matter of time before these problems were highlighted and of course the mainstream limbaugh bloc time and time again is migration policy and leading that

4:12 pm
is trade war against china would effectively bring around half of all chinese goods imported into the u.s. under president donald trump's tariff regime washington's first round of punitive taxes which started in july concentrated on industrial goods this time around a wide range of consumer products are to be taxed effective september twenty four actually it's a disgrace that it wasn't so china is now paying those billions of dollars in tariffs and hopefully we'll be able to work something out with the i think they want to make a deal they do want to make it about i can tell you they want to make of you. but from our standpoint it has to be fair it has to take care of our workers china has fifty valid a counter attack an expected response previously it said it would impose tariffs on another sixty billion dollars in u.s. exports to move on look we keep stressing that the dialogue and consultation based on equality good faith in mutual respect is the only right way out of the trade dispute but what the u.s.
4:13 pm
is doing shows no sincerity and goodwill. move on the scene that you for your own form of for sound i love seeing that which in. the world's top two economies could be losing room to maneuver separate from tariffs already implemented or imminent trump is also threatened even more punitive taxes on two hundred sixty seven billion dollars worth of goods should he make good on that threat tariffs would cover almost everything china sells to the united states. now in other news the european union opened an embed probe into alleged collusion by major german carmakers over anti pollution technology then a cop standing by the frankfurt sacristan center what more can you tell us. it really seems to be the case that the dirty deeds are gates and it will never come to an end the commission which oversees the competition policy in the european union said in a statement today that they are looking into whether they carmakers agreed not to

4:20 pm
an expat from v.w. sport is here to look ahead and welcome yeah like so this this clash of the german coaches the talk about it is that the master verse says that they are for the apprentice why they'd so their career paths have taken a very similar path let's say so thomas tickle is basically followed in the footsteps of you're going cluck cluck started it months and then moved on to dormant and done the exact same thing he's one started months and then actually replaced klopp at dortmund one club decided to take a year some time out from football now they reunited outside germany and let's take a look at how both clubs have approached this match which is opening the champions league new season. one common denominator spells in charge at burress here dortmund here can top lead them to the bundesliga title lifted the german cup and even made it into the champions league final now he's delivered pool boss thomas to hold talk over from club and wonder german cup before landing his current gig at paris and
4:21 pm
germany. in the french capital two who has a plethora of stars in his squad most notably neymar and one of the world cup the most impressive players killing anybody needs we need the best performance that we have with the ball against the ball and in the moments when nobody has the ball like you can never feel comfortable against your against teams you can never feel comfortable. p.s.g. are among this season's favorites to win the tournament. even you're going to plop thanks so. everybody knows about quality of careers this built this team is built for when you determine sleep when to jump ship in france anyway . and look to it for quite easy for them because believe quality they have good quality is something liverpool also have plenty of last season's runners up per beefed up their squad and still boast a top goal scorer mohamed salah an evenly matched group see showdown is expected at
4:22 pm
anfield but will it be too cool for a club to come out on top. so yeah nick let's let's start with the massive and you're going to hear his side deliver for they lost in the final last season are they going to do any better this time well they have improved scored in the offseason and so a lot of people are expecting big things from club and liverpool they brought in goalkeeper allison they also brought in central midfield and now be kater and as well center defender version van dyke who came in january sort of strengthen their spine and i think now club really has the necessary ingredients to play that high octane very frantic attacking football that he loves but with a solid solidity in the fence that they perhaps didn't have last season so they are a lot more balanced and they have one of the most exciting attacking attacking trios in europe with most. money and from the start of the series on file six
4:23 pm
consecutive wins and so the signs are there i think it will be tough for them to win given that they will be competing for the premier league title as well but was they've caught and get it on this on. they've been investing heavily so when the champions league is thomas to bring them glory i think he could be if anyone can do it i think it's too cool he's one of the most highly regarded young coaches in the game he is known for his attention to detail for his obsession with tactics and his innovative train. methods but a lot of things need to go right for p.s.g. for them to win the champions league one big factor is to fool getting the big players big egos on board with his tactical outlook let's say especially neymar who seemed to last season do whatever he wanted on the pitch but to call has brought in a new system name has started playing as a number ten and they've been scoring goals galore also won the first six games of
4:24 pm
the season but i think the problem with such a man is the fact that they don't face big competition at home in france and will be tough for them to translate their performances against the big clubs in europe right to german clubs in action tonight as well shelter and dortmund how important is it for them to get off to a good start it's hugely important for the bonus they get and german football so last season by munich were the only club to get through the group stages and that was the first time in almost a decade that at least two german teams didn't make it to the knockout rounds and the bundesliga is in trouble if they their teams keep underperforming they could lose a place in the champions league qualifying spots so choke and dortmund i guess the next big hopes after blind and they really need to get off to a big start playing porto shoka and dortmund will be facing called bruges. expats thank you for that. sometimes football

4:30 pm
this is day eight of the news a live from berlin i'm thrilled gail coming up in the next fifteen minutes smiles and hugs as the leaders of south and north korea meet in pyongyang for i story summit but will they be able to reboot stoled talks on denuclearization voices critical of the government muted by threats and arrest hate speech is writing particularly against the. united nations says a genocidal intents was a heart of crimes committed against the rangers by me and miles of military so will the generals face justice will take you live to you on your own. for decades the prospect of peace between north and south korea has seemed like the remotest of possibilities for there does not seem to be a new chemistry between the country's leaders it was on display today as north korea's supreme leader kim jong il came jiang on welcome south korea's president moon jay in in pyongyang as well as improving business ties president mood to restart stalled negotiations over the north denuclearizing process. so how
4:31 pm
important is the base well robert e. kelley is professor of political science at south korea's pusan national university he joins us from seoul welcome to day w. . how important is this meeting. moderately so it's not as important as the breakthrough one between these two leaders six months ago and it's not as important as the meeting with the u.s. president. really the issue is to keep the momentum alive things have stalled in the north korean american track donald trump would not let mike jump aoe the u.s. secretary of state go to pyongyang a week or two ago because the americans don't feel like they've gotten much out of the north koreans on denuclearization and missiles and moon jane the south korean president needs to reignite that progress otherwise this will stagnate in the next few months and is not what's driving moon jane because i think this is just me
4:32 pm
saying with the north korean leader yeah that's right i mean the south koreans have a larger agenda than arms control the americans are particularly focused on nuclear weapons and missiles right there's been a really narrow focus from the american side on that this south korean government so this liberal administration wants a wider more broad front detente ever with north korea that involves cooperation cultural exchange so they're like south korean pop stars going with president moving to north korea businessmen are going so there's an effort by the south koreans broadly to bring north korean from the cold to integrate north korea somewhat into the global economy somewhat with south korea the americans are really doing that americans want more focused on this narrow effort and that has stagnated and so what moon is trying to do is sort of pull that along with the rest of the broad detente effort on how much can we can we have a guess about the personal chemistry between these two the two men at the center of this. yeah reasonably good right i mean there was a there was
4:33 pm
a sort of informal hot mike caught earlier in the ceiling that made it look sound like the two of them were actually talking reasonably well when they first met they went off and spent i think some of the forty five minutes interacting with each other alone with no staff or anything like that you know maintains a personal guy may not you know you you see him on t.v. i've seen him do campaign speeches and stuff like that he sort of big areas and he smiles and he's very sort of professional and he knows what he's talking about right and he's a real step up from previous south korean presidents are much more sort of averse to craddock and aloof and so he's very engaging fellow and i imagine that sort of working its you know it's working reasonably well north but i mean you know kim jong un faces the militant the north korean leader faces the military back home or at least the party back home so i'm actually rather skeptical of the chemistry can move the ball long it can get these meetings but you know they're pretty significant bureaucratic interest some both sides. and how would these meetings being sold within north korea well of course you don't want to sell too much it's
4:34 pm
had quite a career right i mean the leadership can basically decide to do whatever it wants but it is actually a minute has been pointed out that these meetings have been broadcast live on north korean television that really is a first i think what this is intended to signal is that the north korean leadership kim and the people around him want different relationship with south korea that will alleviate the sanctions or get north korea some kind of economic aid the north korea has nuclear weapons they can press rican i'm ok because nuclear weapons are such a powerful deterrent and we right to presume the the public come both sides want this to happen while the two the two koreas to be closer. yeah i think so i mean again there's you know sort of public opinion in north korea is entirely manufactured in south korea yes i think there's a general interest in this although that's been somewhat the klein president in some decline president wins a poor rating has now under fifty percent just six months ago it was in the eighty's and some of that is because conservatives in south korea centrists in south korea are still not entirely won over by this president moon was elected with
4:35 pm
a left wing coalition that very much wants are reached in north korea but moon president has not done i think a very good jobs are reaching out to centrists and conservatives and getting their support for this and that ultimately is necessary so that that relationship with north korea's change that it's built on a national consensus in south korea so that the next time conservatives win the presidency they don't roll this back so that's moon's real trick is to sort of capture at least some conservative vote to maintain this thing in the future but a very clear thanks for joining us professor robert a kelly from national diversity in so thank you. thanks to me and now increasing calls for the country's generals to be tried for genocide against the muslim minority there many of the rangers a fled a brutal military crackdown last year a damning report released today by a u.n. fact finding mission on me and now calls for the army to be stripped of its political power. is a look at just two startling facts that have emerged according to the report last
4:36 pm
year's military crackdown forced as many as seven hundred thousand people to flee the violence and take refuge in neighboring bangladesh and it goes on to say that at least ten thousand people were killed in a systematic campaign of murder torture rape and arson and that this what it's charges of genocide the u.n. inspectors' also level strong criticism at me and mass civilian leadership saying that their acts and their missions enabled the country's military to commit those atrocities. the democratic transition in myanmar had barely begun and now it has come to a standstill voices critical of the government muted by threats and arrest hate speech is thriving but again throwing your patience will not help myanmar stigmatization it will only help those that seek to be relate to that over seventy year. old journalist de groot about who has been covering this story from
4:37 pm
in mazar largest city young guns welcome to date up in so there's been focal condemnation of the atrocities committed against rangers by the me and the military for some time so what does this report adds that we didn't already know. oh a big difference here is the level of details i mean the fact finding mission describes massacres are into villages with children being shot and thrown into fires women and girls gang raped but the reporter also really looks at the together brutal violence and military impunity with complicity by certain by center as well as the government and didn't longstanding fractures in this multi-ethnic society that have just not been properly addressed the fact that a missionary call for top military commander should be prosecuted but as he said today they also call for the military to be completely removed from politics at the military's current leadership must be replaced and security forces placed under civilian control so how likely is that to happen
4:38 pm
while the military it's not only the strongest it's institution this country it's really the only strong institution here the current constitution was written by the military largely for the military giving it control over three key ministries no oversight by the civilian side of the government and the military gets twenty five percent of seats in parliament which is enough to be to any amendments to the constitution so the generals are on likely to give up power anytime soon so does this in any way put it that way to a sushi and that the civilian part of this government is it that they they could not do anything against the generals so they try to appease the generals want to spend their role in all this. well certainly the civilian side of government led by the state counts on something she has no control over the military no.
4:39 pm
it does look as though a waiver we've lost that's not blind so dave group about young go for that let us move on. to neighboring india where some four million people in northeastern india effectively stateless this after they were left off an official list of citizens it was drawn up by the government of a sound state in july supposedly to crack down on illegal bangladeshi migrants those struck off the list now have to prove that they over families arrived in india before bangladesh declared independence in one thousand nine hundred seventy one failure to do so could mean deportation rights groups say the government is deliberately targeting muslims the w.'s actually malhotra reports. getting home can often be a tricky task. this was solid land a few days ago but the landscape here in this remote part of the indian state of a sound often changes sidique says he's lived on the state's river islands his
4:40 pm
whole life but soil erosion and rising tides have forced him to move within the area fourteen times and now he and his family are faced with a new threat to their sense of a government list known as the national registry of citizens that will decide who's indian and who's not and those city kids on the list it splits his family right down the middle five in five hours and if it stays that way top of his family including his wife will be considered illegal immigrants from bangladesh. i feel bad because my wife and children are excluded they are my family members and we have been in this place for generations my father was on the last list in one thousand nine hundred eighty one we have all the documents if someone says we're from somewhere else it is painful but i feel bad about it more than thirty million people live in assam but around four million were left off the latest drop likes a deacon his family many on members of the bengali muslim minority it's unclear
4:41 pm
what exactly will happen to those left off the final list but among the possibilities i did tension or deportation since he says he'll do everything in his power to ensure his family is not split up and though he can't read or write he knows these documents are all he has to prove their links to india but life on assam's river islands can be isolating there are no government or social services nearby so city travels to the mainland in search of answers and help to fight for his family here he visits in n.g.o.s assisting people not on the list these activists want to give sidique and others hope but they also believe authorities are intent on targeting the bengali community comparisons have been made with the. dealings of the ravinia crisis in myanmar. a field have been goli muslims and been goalie hindus of asylum are being targeted and excluded from the list it seems there is an insider conspiracy nobody talks about it but there certainly is one but . one of the original petition is for the registry to be updated rejects the idea
4:42 pm
it is singling out minorities he believes the issue is one of illegal immigration they're illegal they entered the country illegally and i don't think that that he said anything about human rights human dignity or these illegal immigrants for the genuine you know there may be some human rights but for the legal immigrants you believe my god what human rights there is nothing about human rights. but back on the river island those left off the list feel life as they know it is that risk still have a final chance to appeal but i'm sure how and when it will come with india's supreme court yet to decide on the process for now there's nothing they can do but wait and see where the shifting sands might take them next. the seventieth every awards have taken place in los angeles and alongside the actos making the most of them moment on the red carpet some of the biggest stars of the

the main emmys including the biggest of course the best best drama series but you're right compared to what they used to do they used as completely clean up the emmys this year a bit of a few fewer emmys than usual maybe it's because i'm not sure if you still are watching game of thrones yeah i think a lot of people are no longer watching it's i think it's almost run its course one last season i think will sort of wrap up the story but maybe this is a sign that the cabbie also senses its past its best but still i guess you know enough sword sex and dragons and you can still win a best emmy for best drama series that would be a nice way to just sort of round out what the series about for people who haven't seen it yet swords sex and dragons. is the real stuff about this year for me was actually at the drama series but comedy the marvels. mrs maze will which is amazon series which was streaming series first time streaming series has won best comedy it took five of the main emmys including best comedy actress for rachel

day and. yeah so i mean it's very very sweet very very funny a funny show it's interesting cause then she goes on to pursue a career in stand up comedy so it's for me a little bit like i don't know a female or a feminist look at mad that it's a takes of almost the same period and flips it. to say that it is a comedy and is that sweeter i was a bit surprised that one did so well at the emmys but but i really enjoyed i think it's a great side too it's a whole different style of t.v. really what about surprises at this year's emmys i was a bit surprised even a lot of female actresses and strong female performances were everywhere at the emmys i'm just a bit of the political aspect least on stage i mean this is the first emmy since the me two era it comes just a few weeks after les moonves the head of c.b.s. when most powerful men in t.v. resigned to bid widespread sexual harassment allegations. you would have expected
4:47 pm
that to be a topic on stage at the emmys it was barely alluded to in a couple of jokes but nothing nothing really nothing compared to what we saw at the oscars where it was a huge number of people made real political statements on stage about me to about a woman's rights that didn't really happen here in fact i don't really have any put politics on stage for very very little trumps name was never mentioned which really surprised me i know and looking even at the for. at the series that one they seem a little discrete this to be even myspace which i really love is you know it's the one nine hundred fifty s. bit nostalgic but the music at the cost of your life is so full of drama that we just i guess i guess you know people just want to ask if they want to go to game of thrones and imagine dragons they want to look at the crown and imagine the the grand royalty of the british cast it's i think the fact that. the series atlanta which is really sharp take on race relations in the united states or even a show like. made stale which is dystopian view of

a possible future america. those didn't win any of the main prizes and i think that's a bit telling maybe people are a bit exhausted by the political climate by reality at the moment and they want to take a step back and just have a bit of entertainment. what about a personal highlight will this is i think a lot of people pick this out of the moment a lot of these award shows are quite stage obviously an artificial as you wait for any moment of spontaneity and this guy one of the winners one of mana prize decide to take his moment on stage to propose live on air to his girlfriend i think we have the footage you want why i don't like to call you my girlfriend because i want to call you my wife. so i mean you call it cheesy but it's also pretty romantic and she says she's smiling so i'm guessing she said yes she did say yes you did say yes was a true true hollywood ending in front of all these i have to say i have

a very personal reason for picking this is my favorite moment because i did something quite similar quite severe i didn't do at the emmys i did do at the grammys or the oscars but i did propose to my wife in a public setting at an international airport. she said though. she said the actual words were i can't so i guess he was civil as well as someone else he said i just don't know if it's a little better that i'm your cousin that of that of that she was she was put on the spot too much public pressure she said i can't years later we did bury two children all thought all happy but i definitely. will be there and i'm sure my wife does a big put on the spot in a huge public space so it's not just romantic wow i've spoiled little to go. i will stay in the united states where president trumps nobody they for the supreme court's is facing sexual misconduct allegations the president has dismissed calls
