time gorbachev the opportunity for peace was to starts october third on t w. this is d w news. and he proved to be one controversy too much tonight germany's domestic intelligence chief forced to leave his office. paying the price for contradicting the chancellor over videos taken during violent far right protests over migrants he may have lost one job but he has been promised another with more
10:01 pm
money also coming up he was president donald trump kids trying it was more two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese imports are about to get more expensive and as expected beijing is hitting back and. you wonder why i don't like to call you my girlfriend because i want to call you my wife. she stole the show live and she said i do the seventieth emmy award ceremony in los angeles streaming hits as well as traditional television will go down the list of went. off it's good to have you with us tonight the german government has removed the controversial head of the country's domestic intelligence. agency hons georg musson
10:02 pm
he'd been under fire for weeks after he appeared to downplay violence against migrants during recent protests in the eastern german city of camden it's the case divided chancellor angela merkel's coalition government and today in a crisis meeting the fate of mustn't was decided the credibility of the government it may have taken a hit in the process we begin tonight with this report. the decisive meeting at the chancellor e was held in the late afternoon for days people could only speculate whether the head of germany's domestic intelligence agency would stay or go. the coalition party leaders reached agreement within two hours mohsen will leave his post but he'll actually be promoted to state secretary of the interior ministry. for now the coalition has been spared the s.p.d. which had given an ultimatum supported the solution from a senate. but masson as state secretary of the interior ministry will earn more
10:03 pm
than before leaders of the opposition are appalled. is a must and it's a positive development of mohsin is out but that he's actually getting a raise is outrageous the interior ministry is being degraded to a bargain basement for civil servants past their sell by date. for this and nobody benefits from this decision accept from us and he's getting a thirty thousand euro raise with one hand washing the other the governing parties are the real losers and a pawn sacrificed in their game to save the coalition. the head of germany's domestic intelligence agency came under heavy criticism for a public statement following right wing riots in the eastern city of cabinets masson asserted that the video being circulated did not necessarily show mobs hunting down individuals but had possibly been manipulated to spread fake news mass
10:04 pm
and statement directly contradicted chancellor merkel's common view from the start she had condemned what she referred to as a hostile mob the only politician to defend mohsen was his boss interior minister a horse as a whole for who hence the conservative c.s.u. one of miracles coalition partners. as a whole for is expected to describe the details of mass and new position on wednesday and to name his successor. at germany's domestic intelligence agency. we're here at the table with me always our political correspondent kate brady she has been on this story all day the story of the feet of mr moss and i think it's safe to say that everyone expected him after today or sometime this week to longer be head of domestic intelligence but what comes after that i think none of us was expecting exactly there were rumors today in berlin that they that the coalition leaders were in fact going to reach a compromise but it was unclear all day exactly what that would be of course now we found out that as well as losing his position as the chief of germany's domestic
10:05 pm
intelligence service is actually at the same time being promoted which as you mentioned has now brought into question the credibility of the government and already this criticism from many m.p.'s particularly on the social media questioning whether. these accusations of disloyalty and even incompetence that have been reported from moscow if that's the new benchmark then what does that mean for the koreas and politics there's as an excellent point if people or from the also you're looking at this story do you see the me and he was head of domestic intelligence he i mean his job is to protect the constitution the government tells him that we don't have enough trust in you so what are the consequences he's then me deputy minister of the interior how does it happen exactly this is now an even higher position void he'll be one of many one of several deputies in the interior ministry but of course to be
10:06 pm
a state secretary in germany is one of the highest positions that you can have without being leader of that specific ministry and of course they arrested as all the interior ministry will actually appoint the new head of germany's domestic intelligence service so theoretically he could also have oversight of all this could give at least mohsen a bit of oversight as a deputy in the interior ministry. over his success oh so that makes the story even more in d. usual words surreal and so where do we go from here the public is going to see this and they're going to see a man who did not have full trust from the leaders of the government and so the consequences were not that he was fired but rather that he was given a different position so. i've been saying all day that it seems like the disconnect between the voters in the state the disconnect is getting bigger by this decision
10:07 pm
would you agree that i think that this. discontent. voters as well is certainly going to increase for a long time many voices and we saw that in the results of last september's federal election they said that they felt abandoned and of lost faith in germany's democracy and i think this in turn is going to push bush's further away if someone who is being accused again of disloyalty has been accused of having links to the far right because he there were accusations that he passed on sensitive information to the far right if people receive before even being made public on top of that he had to question the authenticity of one of those video showing far right violence in the eastern german city of chemists just a couple of weeks ago so i think people are going to question this decision for sure and also what exactly brought the social democrats to the point where they agreed to this compromise they went into these talks today. with
10:08 pm
a very strong storms saying that they are just the mohsen out which of course is the case but this promotion is really quite curious it gives the impression that what was most important was that everyone involved was able to see. would you agree with that exactly i mean everyone can walk away with this saying that they have gained something or that they have a point to prove cause and when and as i mentioned the s.p.d. a social democrats can say yes we got what we wanted mohsen has been fired but also he's been promoted and then you have whole thing hopefully he can go back down to bavaria right. exactly and he can say as himself he is a known critic both he a mosque and a muckle critics he didn't leave a muckle critic left out in the cold and at the same time merkel is in the position to say look these comments by mohsen have not gone un sanctions are definitely a case of saving face. as always thank you for your insights. well meanwhile
10:09 pm
in the eastern german city of chemists a court has released one of the suspects being held for the stabbing death that sparked zina phobic violence in the city last month elise say there is no forensic evidence to link the twenty two year old iraqi man known as you'll see if you bring home a when news of the killing led to mob violence and random street attacks and cabinets it was incidents arising from the violence that led to hundreds of removal from the office of domestic intelligence. where he was over the other stories now that are making headlines around the world here in berlin doctors treating a member of the russian activist group pussy riot say that claims that he was poisoned are quote highly plausible peta vets involve fell ill after attending a court appearance in moscow and he was then rushed to the german capital for medical treatment he is now out of danger but he remains in intensive care. russian president vladimir putin says the downing of

a russian military plane near syria was the result of chance circumstances his statement appeared to soften earlier comments by russia's defense ministry which blamed israeli jets for indirectly causing the incident the russian plane was shot down by syrian anti-aircraft missiles mian mars' crackdown on ethnic rootin joe last year is the subject of a new probe at the international criminal court over seven hundred thousand fled to bangladesh to escape me and mars and security forces a recent un report detailed horrific accounts of arson murder rape and torture the i.c.c. wants to see if there's enough evidence for a formal investigation. in the united nations special envoy for syria stuff on de mistura has welcomed the agreement by the presidents of russia and turkey to set up a demilitarized zone in the syrian province of it that mysterious said that he's
10:11 pm
pleased with what he calls the deep escalation. but that the political process should now move ahead in syria until the summit between presidents putin the narrow one there had been fears of a humanitarian catastrophe in the province and recent weeks the syrian government backed by russian forces had been threatening and all out attack on the province turkey on the opposite side of this conflict feared an influx of thousands of refugees across its border. this is it. just hours ago further destruction appeared almost assured. but russian president vladimir putin and his turkish counterpart agreed on monday to spare if. we don't stop as zone free of weapons between rebel controlled areas and those held by the syrian regime the opposition will remain where they are now we don't sure that
10:12 pm
radical groups determined jointly with russia aren't active there russia will do what's needed sit at the it leave the escalation zone isn't attacked. some three million people live inside syria's last rebel held stronghold good lives residents prepared for the worst as russian and syrian government forces geared up for a bloody battle recent weeks it's seen dozens of airstrikes on the area speaking with d.w. refugees living at the turkish border gave their reaction. to this agreement is very good news there won't be any more airstrikes at least we hope it will last and save lives. and they both know you mean by luck you've got a point on this is just politics the russians on the syrian regime are still carrying out the airstrikes but they're still using machine guns to attack. and aren't respecting the front line gun should be for the highly. going to
10:13 pm
the south and we hope the agreement will save lives. if the opposition surrenders everything will get worse and. the buffer zone is supposed to be established by october fifteenth troops from russia and turkey will conduct coordinated patrols to enforce it. you know with business news going to tell us about america's next top tariffs that's why president have the bigger picture for you on this because u.s. president all trump has. announced yet another set of tariffs on chinese products this time it will hit things like copy machines memory chips and many consumer goods the new duties initially set at ten percent will affect two hundred billion dollars worth of imports as expected the chinese didn't just sit there and watch. a matter of hours after u.s. president donald trump slapped his biggest tariffs yet on china china fired straight back from beijing tariffs on sixty billion dollars worth of u.s.
10:14 pm
goods casting doubt on any willingness to make a deal in the near future uncertainty is now growing as to whether the two economic superpowers will hold trade talks as expected later this month on look you saw groove on we keep stressing that the dialogue and consultation based on quality good faith in mutual respect is the only right way out of the trade dispute. but what the u.s. is doing now shows no sincerity and goodwill for found out soon that china's counter attack comes in response to washington's move to slap two hundred billion dollars worth of tariffs on chinese goods overnight on monday those duties are set to come into effect on the twenty fourth of september starting at a rate of ten percent rising to twenty five percent at the end of the year and targeting mainly consumer products ahead of beijing's retaliation president trump
10:15 pm
appeared to think the move was enough to force china to the negotiating table so china is now paying those billions of dollars in tariffs and hopefully we'll be able to work something out what i think they want to make a deal they don't want to make a deal about i can tell you they want to make a deal. but from our standpoint it has to be fair it has to take care of our workers but both a condom iis could now be losing room to maneuver aside from tariffs already implemented or imminent trump has also threatened further punitive taxes on two hundred sixty seven billion dollars worth of goods in other words tariffs on almost every single product china sells to the united states. definitely time now to check in with our new york financial correspondent dan scotto haiyan cisco to see you again now we see most indices in the green yen so why is the market so calm and all of this. you know it's not just the most amusing green but actually the s. and p. five hundred and the dow jones industrial average are almost at
10:16 pm
a record level and servia saw a very strong session here on wall street to one reason might be their to terrorists so far are considered to be moderate at least when you talk to investors over here is some experts fear that we might have even seen it tariffs on those two hundred billion dollars in goods not of ten but twenty five percent but u.s. president donald trump is probably well aware that the holiday season is coming and he doesn't want to hurt u.s. consumers too much and then also we have the midterm elections coming up and then there is still a lot we do not know what's going to continue when we talk about the trade dispute but what investors do know is that the u.s. economy so far looks pretty solid corporate profits are looking strong and then also u.s. corporations are buying back their own stock at record levels and all of that
10:17 pm
support the stock market at this point. folk about moderate measures so far no let's take a look at the other side because with china importing far less from the u.s. than the other way around its ability to respond with tariffs on u.s. products is limited we know that but what other options to china have. well there are a couple of measures that china could take before once for example they could to devalue their own currency and there was that at least make up a little bit of the higher tariff so that prices of chinese goods gets too high in the u.s. then there is another possibility that china could block certain exports of some crucial components for the u.s. industries so they could hinder the supply chain that could also block exports of some crucial raw materials even if that step doesn't seem to be too popular with
10:18 pm
the chinese government either and then finally china could also stop buying u.s. treasuries china is the biggest foreign debtor of the united states sold that could also be an option but all of these measures i just mentioned also could backfire to a certain degree to the chinese to the chinese economy it's all yet to be seen thank you very much in new york for your analysis. ben cox street vendors are part of the city's landscape it's hard to imagine the thai capital without them but the local authorities want to tidy up the streets and are shifting away street vendors to less attractive locations as this happens the vendors claim their livelihoods are being threatened well some say the plan could strip the city off its charm. life has become harder for digital and its business has been struggling since bangkok city authorities banned street vendors from parts of the city areas that are high traffic and frequented by tourists now he only
10:19 pm
makes around fifteen dollars a day. off the really high value of the house with the income is gone up with it why don't the authorities manage the areas like they did before that one of course they should make sure that the streets aren't messy but they shouldn't have picked this. moment i'm a little like you. found goats authorities want to clean up the city they have moved more than twenty thousand street vendors from several locations since twenty sixteen and they have identified more locations where vendors will be evicted but they are plans to do more than just disrupt the livelihood of the city street vendors critics say the redefining bangkok's landscape yes i agree that you do need good management but then no i don't agree because i would like to keep bangkok as it is you know available exotic good for them for the public so i didn't see
10:20 pm
some middle ground i think of how to manage their street food clearing out everything. that's all that's a twin and other street vendors want a plan that will allow them to stay and maintain their livelihoods. that's all for business it's now time to go back to a brand for a story about a tough time and tensions in zimbabwe this isn't the right hope your opposition lawmakers in zimbabwe walked out on the new president during his first speech to parliament lawmakers of the opposition movement for democratic change protested against president emerson and then gone well because they say that he stole the election in july he replaced the longtime leader robert mugabe who stepped down under military pressure last november but the new government says that its top priority is to repair a broken economy for the country's young people that thick skin not come soon enough he w. correspondent privilege most fun here reports tonight from the capital.
