problems despite a deal to make serious last rebel stronghold a demilitarized zone refugees fear for loved ones they've left behind. plus we took a look inside nigeria's pentecostal mega church with tax services eager worship person charismatic pastors that are proving a huge hit with locals but critics worry the focus on economic rather than spiritual salvation is distorting christianity's real mess. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us germany's fragile coalition government is under pressure after chancellor angela merkel removed her domestic intelligence chief only to promote him to a more powerful post. some was. under fire for contradicting the chancellor about
9:02 am
the extent of recent alright bylines boston had the backing of merkel's rebellious interior minister hall city hall for who also leads one of the coalition parties but merkel's central left coalition partners think social democrats demanded ouster the party leaders agreed on fate at a crisis meeting on tuesday but that compromise is already testing the government's unity. the decisive meeting at the chancellery was held in the late afternoon for days people could only speculate whether the head of germany's domestic intelligence agency would stay. the coalition party does reached agreement within two hours and will leave his post but he'll actually be promoted to the office of deputy minister at the interior ministry he will and more than before. junior coalition partners the social democrats have demanded mawson's removal but
9:03 am
party leaders finally agree to his job change instead the concession has a pulled other party members. as i'm talking shit it's a slap in the face for people who take responsibility for their actions and who if they make a mistake don't get promoted or even face negative consequences i think the price is too high for the survival of the coalition. leaders of the opposition have also greeted the news with school on. pawns 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 chemists masson asserted that the video being circulated did not necessarily show mobs hunting down individuals but had possibly been manipulated to spread fake news musson statement directly contradicted chancellor merkel's from the start she had
9:04 am
condemned what she referred to as a hostile mob the only politician to defend masson was his boss interior minister horsy hoffa who heads the conservative c.s.u. one of macas coalition partners see who is expected to announce the details of my son's new position on wednesday and name his successor at germany's domestic intelligence agency. well for more now let's bring in our political correspondent much biljana call shake go help us out here much more. we've got the chancellor and her main coalition partner no longer trusting him to remain as head of the domestic intelligence service so they make him deputy head of the entire interior ministry with even more power what's going on here well the rationale of the coalition partners have given us yesterday is that every single party within the coalition government has gotten what they want to so these social democrats the center left coalition partners said they wanted mohsen out of the office they didn't want him
9:05 am
any longer to be the had of the domestic intelligence service that's got another sense he's removed from that particular post the interior minister who has always backed mohsen has always said he has my trust and i don't want him to be gone cape summit within his ministry so he's still his superior. as he will face a period of months and that is really only when you trash a fact and not go who was forced to act on this particular issue has acted on it so in a sense the compromise is every one of them is happy the question of it is is it a good compromise and what does the rest of the world market and is it good to kape mohsen in general in a public office well that is indeed the question this is a problem within chancellor merkel's coalition politically but remains a hugely controversial figure what does the rest of the country make of this exactly so he remains a controversial figure we haven't heard anything yet in for example on an
9:06 am
investigation on the way he's conducted his position so there have been accusations of on several different fields that's been a question of how he's been working together with the far right if the policy that been questions in the way certain things have been investigated within the domestic intelligence service there's no announcement of an investigation on his political conduct yet and. other things of course there's been quite a critical reception so there has been even within the social democratic party there has been criticism towards the leadership how this has been handled he should have been removed from political office completely and the opposition of cora's especially this subtle left opposition is very critical of the way the compromise has been reached the only ones who seem quite happy with the fact that he isn't losing his job completely is the far right if they they consider him a poor one but they so happy he is in office million a thank you so much much million a caution from d.w.

politics. now to korea where the leaders of the north and the south have hailed a deal to improve ties and bolster efforts to end nuclear tensions in the region after talks and can yank the north's kim jong un promise to close the country's main nuclear complex and shut down a missile launch site if if the united states makes reciprocal moves well the two koreas also agreed to link up their real ways and work together on a joint a limping bid. day two of south korean president moon j. ins visit to his maverick northern neighbor kim jong un and a breakthrough. after a signing ceremony there were announcements on the north closing a nuclear missile testing site establishing buffer zones between the two koreas and a joint elliptic bid for twenty thirty two it was a more colorful affair the previous evening a concert in honor of the two leaders at pyongyang as grand theater.
9:08 am
followed by a lavish banquet and a cheerful exchange of toasts. visit is the first by a south korean leader to the north in eleven years and top of the proto of gender reproaching stalled talks with the u.s. on denuclearizing the korean peninsula. i will candidly discuss advancing the nuclearization with president. has president moon and i build trust with each other our progress towards a peaceful and prosperous korean peninsula will become faster. you wonder not because complete denuclearization and the establishment of peace on the korean peninsula is an important agenda good as it is a completely new resolution there could be various challenges and difficulties however chairman kim jong un and i share trust and friendship and. relations
9:09 am
between the two koreas do seem to be improving but real progress in the region will depend on convincing the us that the north is serious about getting rid of its nuclear weapons. were a spring in our correspondent for the un who's been covering that summit fabio how significant is this deal between north and south korea is there a lot of substance there or is it largely symbolic. i think this summit cannot be like measured by symbolic gestures we've already had some into korean summit so i think now only the substantial results count and on the front it's a well into korean pop ration and if she fights. it can join in bill gives its soul and also there will be a stop a rail way of world politics between the two koreas but on the other hand if you look at the summit results under the aspect of the new currency nation and they
9:10 am
were slightly disappointing well that is the big question what can we make of the north korean leader apparently promising to visit south or seoul and the near future is not going to do anything to push towards the denuclearization of the financial. well i agree probably read it as a sign also directed to what's washington saying that is seen in the future might be ready also to visit washington i mean those two. and you can join to get along quite well just a couple of months ago i couldn't imagine that kim jong un would come to seoul i mean just mentioned the security measurements and also that will be a huge demonstrations here in seoul so i think that's a big step but it's pointing to what the north koreans nation is actually like really an open question because the results are relative to. what it's been
9:11 am
achieved here and then today you know so how is washington likely to respond to this i understand that the north's offer is contingent on on washington reciprocating and militarily. well i think president trump already treated very positively about it but i think washington in general will not be too happy because the big promise is one of the key test launch site and that has already been promised in singapore when kim jong un met trump and the second one is closer also yongbyon nuclear test and it's basically the biggest nuclear site of north korea but only linked to corresponding measureless of the u.s. and so it's not really what they're expecting in return. probably and thank you so much probably on crossfire there in seoul three. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today the woman accusing us supreme court nominee

9:19 am
the big donation baskets filled quickly the belief is the more you give during and after the church service the more you're dealing with. the church there are many more ways to spend money how about only oil sold for five dollars per bottle this is not to eat it is to put on your hat y. . away because. like it's not like. keno for anything you want to believe i use the oil swap for you if cure sickness sees. any people having hiv by using justice or in pentecostal churches compete for members each promise is academic salvation a solution and people want to believe in them especially in times of hardship. god jesus that's also the first billboard you see when you entered the university.
9:20 am
is a professor of religious studies he says nigeria is one of the most religious countries in africa but he's concerned about the focus of pentecostal churches is then draws because. everything revolves around a pastor and then the tendency. to shift in. the past and not. the lifestyle of the pastor becomes this turned out not out of christ people's faith is being exploited and converted into a commercial business with a price tag most of these pastors are not there to serve. incentives and. some of the practices but. to some what's difference is that jesus was not all he's always had to. to choose are not trick wired to pay taxes but you don't rise in extreme poverty so polluted want to change not still

medallists how she viewed premier league promise to finally provide true market access to foreign investors well we have heard that before but or year we're sort of going from this as you mentioned kit for tat dialogue so the situation still remains very very fluid but we still are under the belief that it won't be the worst case scenario which is the end result in fact we will see a resolution of some kind probably sooner than the markets actually pricing in. this rather conciliatory tone is coming from the kids young they're seeing china caving in i don't think china's caving in at all in fact there was some speculation they were selling u.s. treasuries which could be you could read that this is one way of them retaliates ing again the worst case scenario is no good for global consumers and i don't think
9:23 am
either side really wants to reach that point so it's probably going to be for the negotiations a resolution of i mentioned a bit earlier it's probably going to be actually end of the day determined by president xi jinping and president trump. because of the other big news coming out of phase of this morning is coming from the korean peninsula of course both knows south korea as we closer economic cooperation how do you see these developments how does that play on the mob will that play on the markets was very positive were actually about to embark on a very long sort of holiday in south korea it's like the american thanksgiving but if they sort of negotiations they rule the long term the markets pretty much fax it in in terms of a better relationship between the north and the south or north is still very much aligned with china but all up when you have these political ties or a better more stable political environment this bodes well for sentiment and when you see markets like china down around twenty percent from their highs in january again the political stability only adds to some of the fundamental case about why
