leading carville says the perpetrators must be brought to justice. plus we meet a young man who can walk again five years after he was paralyzed a scientific breakthrough is helping patients with spinal cord injury stand and even walk again with the help of an implanted device. hello i'm terry martin welcome to the program within the next hour u.s. president donald trump is due to address the u.n. in new york at last year's general assembly trying to threaten to totally destroy north korea but this year he is expected to praise the relationship he's built with leader kim jong un is also likely to defend his decision to pull out of the iran nuclear deal and it's thought he will object to u.n. aid programs that don't promote what he regards as american interests.

we will be bringing you live coverage of the general assembly meeting when donald trump begin speaking will be getting full analysis both from washington and and here in our studio speaking of which we'll think we got some footage there it is we can finally see what's happening there at the u.n. general assembly meeting which is just about to get under this way president trump during his last twelve months he has jolted the status quo since he came into office actually has pulled out of the iran nuclear deal started trade conflicts with china and the west and embraced russia's vladimir putin this as the investigation into the u.s. president time as to his ties to moscow moves closer to the oval office let's talk about what the with nicole rembert she's an associate at the german council on foreign relations hi nicole what can you what can we expect from president trump's

appearance at the u.n. this year well donald trump keeps the world busy he had a full agenda last year he certainly was talk about his foreign policy successes the way he sees them like the new relationship with north korea he would certainly talk about iran and he will use the big stage to outline again the america for us policy in a way he wants the were i to understand what's going on in the white house many do expect him to double down on this america first doctrine that he seems to have built up would can we expect a more mature line of argumentation from him now that he's had a little time in office when i always am more experienced president but certainly he will also use this opportunity to set the agenda for the election campaign. and most likely he would use his appearance to distract the audience

a little bit from trouble if he has in the whitehouse. at this point when it comes to domestic policy like the nomination and the support of the supreme touch how do you think he will be received in the united nations this year i mean last year. people were a bit shocked i guess now we know what to expect when i think he still has the potential in shocking the audience and from what you've heard is the diplomatic community is rather nervous especially his friends but also his so-called. even though he has a chicken relationship to the un at large has some good working relationship between the un and president. on that he decides so we hope for a constructive talk but last year. some surprises ok

nicole will be will be talking a lot more about this when especially when present trends speech gets underway right now i'd like to go over to new york where our correspondent alexander foreign naaman is standing by for us at the united nations general assembly xander trope delivered a warning shot ahead of his arrival by declaring that the world body had not lived up to its potential in his words what is that suppose to me. i think that we can assume that that's a red flag to president. of the united nations and his administration president believes that the best way to solve conflicts crisis or crises or problems is when two leaders sit together and talk about them and then maybe develop a good relationship so that is his way of thinking he is not a fan of institutions such as the united nations and when you look at the u.s.

policy towards the united nations you see that there. are pulling out of the many different institutions and they have pulled out of course of the iran deal that was backed by the un security council they pulled out of paris a card that was the scene as a milestone stone for many of the united nations member states they pulled out of the human rights council and and it's their support for the u.n. agency for palestinian refugees so as you can see this quote reflects quiet. attitude and he's called izzy. last year. went out of his way to vilify north korea years used very harsh language there is a safe bet that he'll do the same this year with the rem.

well we certainly can expect that the major part of heath speech is going to deal with iran and we can expect to threaten even iran to tell them to get to the negotiating table or to faith very severe consequences that's something that's he did before even on which we can also expect him to point at iran's meddling in the region and towards for terrorists. to justify. and he threats towards iran xander thank you so much for now we'll be coming back to you of course over the next couple of hours as the speeches get underway of course one of xander phenomena there in new york. and of course we'll have trump's speech live from new york as it happens later in the hour right now you're seeing the u.n. secretary general antonio terrorist addressing the chamber and we'll keep you up to date on all developments there you to first take

a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today world health organization is warning that the abode outbreak in the democratic republic of congo could rapidly spread in the coming weeks attacks by armed groups some community resistance to back the nations as well as the geographic reach of the virus could create a perfect storm according to the w.h.o. . indonesian authorities have released footage showing the rescue of a teen who's been floating for several weeks on a raft in the pacific ocean his wooden fishing raft became unmoored off the country's northern coast in mid july. he survived by catching fish and drinking sea water filtered through his clothes. the head of the catholic church here in germany has apologized for the church's failure of addressing sexual abuse over decades and for all the pain it has caused officials have just

released a report detailing thousands of sexual abuse cases here in germany at the opening of a meeting of the country's bishops conference now the study found that priests had a views more than three and a half thousand children and teens in germany over the course of seventy years the victims were mostly male and were mostly children well over one and a half thousand priests are accused of committing those crimes critics of the study as well as its authors themselves say the true scale of the abuse was probably far greater. well for more on this let's bring in martin guy keys our religious affairs analyst and has been dealing with this subject for quite some time martin how could so many priests get away with such serious crimes for so long in germany as in italy in germany us in other places around the world what all these studies

and all the investigations and all these reports coming out of legal bodies from the church itself etc showing instead there is a rather broad cover up campaign and when way beyond particular churches to sort of recruit clearly or with already start where a bove several different churches that could move people around and i think that where we are seeing now it's really just a confabulation of many many different people so crimes and cover up we are talking about very serious crimes do we have any guarantee that german law enforcement authorities will pursue this i don't think we have any yarn t's i mean based on the recent history of this of these affair and given the fact that for the last fifteen years or so we have been hearing about it and we have seen me there on the side of the vatican on the side of national authorities particularly clear policies in order to address this issue there is no reason to think at this point that this will change immediately however it's very clear that pressure continues to mount

and the german the german population and i think very sensitive to the seizure and has a lot more of a reliance on the on the legal system so the question though is where this will actually be turned into a criminal investigations now the report that we've been talking about that was just released today it has now been presented publicly by the head of the german bishops conference cardinal marx he said the church of neglected victims interests for too long let's listen in to part of his statement. xix we let me pull east sexual abuse is a crime those who are guilty must be punished in the church we for too long looked away covered up and didn't want it to be true boldness these. as the head of the bishops conference i must take responsibility for all the failures and for all the pain caused i must also ask for forgiveness personally.

and was cardinal reinhard marx there the the head of the bishops conference in berlin and he is a puppet apologising on behalf of the institution and personally for what he described himself as crimes and for the church's failure to address child abuse we've been talk with martin in our studio and in helping patients with paralysis to stand and even take steps again it's all thanks to an electrical implant that zaps the spinal cord along with months of intense rehabilitation of course the research is giving new hope to people suffering from spinal cord injuries. one step at a time jared chin ok is able to walk again five years after an accident that left him paralyzed to be able to move. my legs and. to walk even a stand it means a lot. that there is hope for not only me but other people.

ok as one of three patients taking part in two separate studies in the united states who's managed to walk again albeit assisted. the twenty nine year old was the first patient at the mayo clinic in minnesota to have an electrical stimulation device implanted near his damaged spinal cord. the original function of the electrical stimulator was to treat chronic pain. but it's being used experimentally to try to activate dormant circuitry in the spinal cord. and allow movement. because we were able to see the malaysia recklessly the spinal cord itself and we believe that that was very important to be able to regain the volitional control or voluntary control. just one month after surgery cino commute his toe on his own again he underwent forty three weeks of intense physical therapy and stimulator adjustments at one terribly session chinnock managed to walk the

length of a football field but for him it's not about the distance. to hold full side of that maybe all gain that where i can leave the wheelchair behind even if it is to walk to the refrigerator and back in his hometown you know like not very far . and hope is watching a cause given to those with spinal injuries who never thought standing up. or walking would ever be possible again. you're watching d.w. news still to come in your business round up with ben to zululand the e.u.'s foreign policy chief has announced a plan to allow europe russia and china to continue doing business with iran or surrender likely to be addressed by president trump in a speech at the u.n. today anyway will this plan get around us asians will find out. that and much

more coming up in our business news with ben so i'm going to go. to. a contentious figure at home. in germany. gorbachev was one of the great heroes of the twentieth century we kind of gorbachev the last leader of the soviet union was an agent of change. he continues to fight world peace with the reminder by night which we have to comprehend when peace has taken us today there is a new arms race. the power of time gorbachev and the opportunity for

peace we stood starts october third on g.w. . tense times as german industrial leaders meet him in a trade war breaks its chancellor angela merkel off as some hope with the promise of lower corporate taxes. dodging sanctions have to do business with iran the e.u. seems to have found an ingenious trick to outwit the white. house the u.s. is not happy. and i'm sure to an ngo protests against the shop will steady measures the government says a vital in clinching international aid for its ailing economy. i'm invisible and let's do business a big day for business leaders in germany they're attending an annual meeting of berlin where they have the ear of the chancellor to express their concerns and was

asked by the leadership of the federation of german industry to swiftly address tax and financial policy to avoid a slowing down of the euro zone's largest economy germany's economy remains buoyant but concerns of mounting about political stability at home as well as threats to growth abroad including britain's departure from the e.u. next year and threats to global trade. reporter stephen beardsley is at the gathering stephen what's the biggest concern amongst leaders there. will been the theme today is risk and so you would think that might mean brags that you think that might be the tariffs really as you said it's really the domestic picture here and that is what can the government the german government do for businesses here and that's really in three areas more than any others is more investment in digitize ation and that means for example

broadband laying that across the lands making sure that the network is set up for gigabyte l.t.e. and eventually for five g. that also means tax reform as you also mentioned and that means also inner g. prices that's the third to lowering energy prices. steve in china is something that the chancellor brought up in her speech let's have a listen in to what she had to say first of all. deutschland vitae often germany will continue to remain open but we also have considerations regarding the need to protect our critical infrastructure. all the beatson off the at the same time we're appealing to china especially in regards to digitalisation to give us the chance to cooperation equal partners and not to be excluded from certain projects from the outset. we heard the word

protect there it sounds like protectionism is on the march again tell us what merkel is getting at exactly. i think one thing that she's really talking about here is the idea that the chinese have often a spouse open markets on their ins and in fact recently sort of in counterpoint to what trump has been espousing with protectionism they've really been pushing for open trade on the ground however the fact is they haven't been very open they still require a lot of technology transfer a lot of teaming up with chinese companies that leads to technology transfer and there's the feeling that the playing grounds aren't really that fair and it's not a level playing field and that's what she's pushing for there talking about level playing fields the u.s. is. an international race it seems to lower corporate taxes is that something that's going to happen here as well. well that's definitely one thing that businesses here are pushing for is they want to see them soon because as you

mentioned tax reform there it sort of lights a fire under a lot of business here to not lose their businesses they can go to the u.s. to the u.s. what merkel said today was that she conceded that it does make the u.s. more competitive but she only said that she would take a look at that government needs to examine the issue more so there are no firm promises there. steve beardsley no firm promises from the video conference thanks for joining us. he use eames of found a way to keep the nuclear deal with iran a life and trade is the key word since u.s. president donald trump reinstated economic sanctions against iran over its nuclear program european companies have been worried about their business ties with iran due to the sanctions transactions can be made through the international banking system but the e.u. has found a way to skirt the measures and save the nuclear deal federica mogul really believes she's found the solution the e.u. foreign affairs commissioner wants to continue doing business with iran but

developing a new financial institution in new york she met with the remaining signatories of the iran nuclear agreement and presented a model. that but disciplines welcomed practical proposals two month tain and developed payment channels notably the initiative to establish a special third of a call to facilitate payments related to it on its exports including oil and imports which will assist and reassure economic operators they're seeing legitimate business with. the creation of this new monetary transfer system to continue trading with iran is intended to see the nuclear agreement this would prevent banks involved in those transactions from becoming targets of u.s. sanctions themselves european companies would then have the ability to trade with iran again at least when it comes to payment transactions. argentina is bracing for a general strike that will see disruptions to services across the country it comes

a day after tens of thousands of people turned out to protest against the government's plan to impose austerity in exchange for another loan from the international monetary fund a currency crisis has seen the peso lose half its value against the dollar this year he. reports from the center of those demonstrations in the capital. protests on the streets of what is a read times of people turned out to reject on the stairs he punches the government says it needs to secure funds from the i.m.f. . i'm a teacher and i say no to the adjustments. because i want the president to change course on these policies. people mobile me like everyone else i'm affected by it economically whether it's work shortages or increasing food prices everyone here is feeling is. that devaluation of the our

time passes that went from twenty eight to forty pesos per dollars increase the social tension that began a few months ago with those social and economic adjustments made by the government especially in the service and transportation area hard intense here demand the creation of new jobs increased salaries and for the government to change its economic power for it to stop asking for i.m.f. loans. analysts say the government has a clear incentive for wanting access to those funds as soon as possible. the political intention here is to avoid a new deal back in two thousand and one two thousand and two that's why the government is attempting to give a signal to the i.m.f. to advance all the funds needed for two thousand and nineteen and two thousand and twenty. to give a clear signal that we've guaranteed funding for the next year for twenty twenty one but the question then is whether those funds will be extended for twenty twenty

one. as public anger amounts tuesday's general strike could be just the beginning of a bigger wave of resistance against austerity. the united nations general assembly in new york is set to discuss global sustainability goals these include environmental conservation and poverty reduction but they'll also be including social entrepreneurship that strong a lot of interest from business people around the world as more and more people try to do business with their conscience see if we can bring that report.

the police are working special shifts in hotels are booked out during september's regular session their city is even fuller than usual social entrepreneurs from latin america europe and africa are here to there being honored for their dedication and work like down from kenya who developed the shoot discord and not to kill initiative and i started out it was not about winning any i was just crazy dream with a football so this is a muslim guy who wanted to kick a ball and now today we have one thousand six hundred twenty five. and we have had . a high school and my hope is. the foundation supports social entrepreneurs by supplying know how and to networking and is honored three hundred fifty of them over the past twenty years. hunger are still very big in the world and the social entrepreneurs really work at

the grassroots level to improve the conditions in small villages around the world from. those entrepreneurs are innovative and sustainable like this idea from fair phone a modular environmentally friendly ethically sourced smartphone. to do it's what sustainability on the one making sure you look at the materials you. products but also the impact it has in the supply chain on working conditions it seems that here in the capital of capitalism the next few days won't only be about profit. and u.s. fashion company michael kors has acquired luxury brand for saatchi for two point two billion dollars an ounce mccombs off the use of speculation that the family owned italian fashion label have been considering going public but as sales of the colorful designs by the company's creative director don't attempt such a declined those plans were put on ice the deal is the latest push by michael kors

head of the u.n. general assembly this month we've already heard from the u.n. secretary general antonio terrorists and of course we'll be bringing you donald trump speech live as it happens later this hour in the twelve months since his last visit to the u.n. the u.s. president has jolted the global status quo say the least by pulling out of the iran nuclear deal starting trade complex with china and the west and embracing russia's vladimir putin even as the investigation into the u.s. president ties his ties to moscow moves closer to the oval office well let's talk about all this with nicole rend she's an associate fellow at the german council on foreign relations nicole first of all let's look ahead to what we can expect from donald trump this year the united nations he's had a year to think about what he might want to say this time around what are you expecting what he will outline his again america first foreign policy agenda again

and he will certainly end of the right on his success. the one who opened talks with north korea he would sell this as a big success that he will also be tough on iran which is to expect it and most likely he will also say a word or two about the european allies for now with a new initiative in which they tried to save the iran deal basically move to move the chessboard to a round hole most likely he would be very tough again. question because it's not only the international audience he's turning to but it would be all it's a signal to his home audience because we are in the forefront off the midterm elections it was interesting the current u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley she was commenting ahead of this and

she was saying that the last time around the u.s. was still trying to kind of figure out what it was wanting to do what its present should be at the u.s. this time she says we're going to be there with a bang quote and he had to hear what she might mean. well again i mean last year we heard a few bangs and we heard that trump would be tough with respect to financing off the u.n. body his new security adviser ball even wants to make contributions to the u.n. a voluntary. arrangement which of course would take the fund fundaments off the united nations as we know it so if they talk about these issues this would be a big bang because the secretary general has been trying to come to working relationship with the u.s. government especially because he needs to save certain funds because otherwise it

would be very difficult for the u.n. to operate without american especially financial support and so far since he's been in office donald trump hasn't shown a great deal of respect or admiration for multilateral institutions he keeps promoting his america first agenda and we have even his is through the night a united nations saying that he wants to talk about protecting u.s. sovereignty those trump have contempt for the united nations or what is his relation to the united nations it's a very interesting relationship. yes in the last speech he gave his maiden speech at the u.n. he mentioned. sovereignty i think twenty one times or twenty two times so it was a very important speech for him to say we have to protect american interests on the other hand he enjoys being on the big stage i mean he enjoys this enormous audience

the enormous attention the united nations gets and sometimes you have impression that he never dreamt of being you know at the u.n. giving a speech so to a certain degree it's a mixed message that he somehow wants the world to look at him the u.n. is the place to be and he also knows about you know how important the u.n. is for the allies and for those people who are still interested in finding some common ground at least when it comes to certain international assistance so it's a nixed expect basically ok just looking back on what happened last year we do have some some excerpts from the president's speech but before we get to those just wanted to mention a quote from the swedish foreign minister margaret wall stronger than a year ago she was quoted as saying that back then don't trump a year ago gave the wrong speech at the wrong time to the wrong audience do you

think people. again this time. and then we don't know yet what he's going to say about. what you can say at this point is that his policy of trying also to divide the allies doesn't really seem to work very well and what a lot of people fear it is that the europeans will not be able to withhold the pressure the us is exercising especially with respect to the iran deal now we see some movement and his speech might have the opposite effect that there will be closer cooperation in europe and most of most cooperation with those partners who will you know use the space the u.s. is opening up so it is tricky and it is dangerous because after all the united states is our ally ok stay with us we do have some clips from his speech from voltron speech to the united nations that if you were to use your ago it was no.

rocket man. is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime the united states has great strength and patients but if it is forced to defend itself words our lives we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. no choice but to totally destroy another sovereign state of course again he is referring to rocket man being kim jong un the north korean leader he's since had a meeting with kim jong un what do you think is going to say about korea this time or is this going to be touted as one of his foreign policy successes always sort of change here i had. after the meeting which took place the whole tone. is very different from what he was at the united nations i remember that he even talked about him as an honorable man which is totally different from little

rock of madness. so i think what what we would still see and nikki haley i think pointed to this to us with still try to pressure north korea to you know to come to a nuclear deal but if the same time i don't think we would see the same kind of wording because just before the u.n. meeting now the white house announced that there would be another meeting with the had off north korea so they might be difficult if you use this terminology the way he did it last year. but we'll see what comes out of it but i don't expect him to use the same wording i expect him to be so tough on iran this time and we'll be listening in nicolle becoming back to unocal rembert from the german council on foreign relations thank you for no. now let's look at some other stories making headlines around the world today the world health organization is warning that the

ebola outbreak in the democratic republic of congo could rapidly spread in the coming weeks attacked by armed groups some community resistance to vaccinations is what was the geographic reach of the virus could create a perfect storm according to the w.h.o. for indonesian authorities have released footage showing the rescue of. the teenage of the teenager who had been plotting for seven weeks on a raft in the pacific ocean is wooden fishing rod became an moored off the country's northern coast image a lie he survived by catching fish and drinking sea water filtered through his clothes. for sweden's prime minister stuff and then has been ousted in a no confidence vote about two thirds of the parliament voted against often who leads the country's social democrats his departure comes two weeks after elections that saw historic gains for the right wing politician.

u.s. supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh says he will not let what he calls false accusations drive him out of the nomination process the senate plans to hear testimony this week from at least one of the two women who claim kavanagh sexually assaulted them in the one nine hundred eighty s. kevin has denied any wrongdoing here's what he had to say in an interview on pox. i've never sexually assaulted anyone not in high school not ever. i've always treated women with dignity and respect i'm not going to want to false accusations try boss none of that out of this process and. we're looking for a fair process where i can be heard and defend the. my integrity my lifelong record of my lifelong record of promoting dignity and equality for women starting with the

the women who knew me when i was fourteen years old. i'm not going anywhere. the allegations against kevin l. have prompted calls for his nomination to be rejected. waiter in washington went to a protest against the supreme court nominee. it takes a village to bring down a supreme court nomination and that's what these protesters at the u.s. capitol are asking for. allegations of sexual misconduct have cast a pall over brett kavanaugh president trumps nominee to the supreme court in the era of me to these people aren't taking it lightly it's time to listen to women it's been time to listen to women for like thousands of years at this point but finally since the women's march that was the largest global demonstration in world history we're actually coming together it's no longer he said he said but i believe

that men should be held accountable and should do anything in their power to correct any injustices that they have committed in their past and i believe that hiding behind power and patriarchy is wrong and i believe that men should stand up if they have committed wrongs and admit that. the protest was court made by several different activist groups including the same people who put together the massive women's march that swept the world last year as one of the leaders of the women's march it's important for us to ensure that the movement that we created on january twenty first two thousand and seventeen translates into action and in this particular moment important for women and allies to be out here it's a very important moment in our generation cavanagh cannot get on the supreme court he will roll us back decades on things that folks before us fought very hard for us to have and i'm here because i don't want my daughters to have less rights than i have and the specter of the midterm elections coming up in less than two months hangs over everything republicans fear they could lose their control of both houses

of congress despite flagging public support for the president's nominee republicans have stood by him the stories that kavanaugh his accusers tell are difficult to prove but these protesters believe that i absolutely believe her the fact that it's now been corroborated or his actions have been corroborated by other women is good but i was fine with just that one woman i wonder how many other women in his adult life have. also been harassed or worse by him the first the first accusation should should be enough to have him would withdraw withdrawn the second is just at this point it's shameful and he should be gone i mean i hope to accomplish that we start treating these women with with some kind of seriousness and respect i don't think they came out of nowhere i think they were i think they're for real i'm not for ruining anybody's life but if they've ruined these women's if he's ruined these women's lives and we need to talk about this. one of

the accusers is scheduled to testify later this week to the senate judiciary committee in the face of growing hostility pavin on the republicans have indicated they will not give up without a fight neither are these activists. scientists in the u.s. are reporting success in helping patients with paralysis to stand and even take steps again it's all thanks to an electrical implant that saps the spinal cord along with months of intense rehab the research is giving new hope to people suffering from spinal cord injury. it's one step at a time jerry is able to walk again five years after an accident that left him paralyzed to be able to move. my legs and. to walk even a stand it means a lot. that there is hope for not only me but other people.

is one of three patients taking part in two separate studies in the united states has managed to walk again albeit assisted. the twenty nine year old was the first patient at the mayo clinic in minnesota to have an electrical stimulation device implanted near his damaged spinal cord. the original function of the electrical stimulator was to treat chronic pain. but it's being used experimentally to try to activate dormant circuitry in the spinal cord. and allow movement. because we were able to see the late to read the spinal cord itself and we believe that that was very important to be able to regain volitional control or voluntary control and. just one month after surgery commute his toe on his own again he underwent forty three weeks of intense physical therapy and stimulator adjustments at one terribly session managed to walk the length of

a football field but for him it's not about the distance. the hopeful side of that may be all gain or i can leave the wheelchair behind even if it is to walk to the refrigerator and back in his hometown you know like not very far. and hope is watching because given to those with spinal injuries who never thought standing up. or walking would ever be possible again. well the midweek buddhist league action gets underway at tonight's tuesday night is high flying how to pull and travelled about a braman a new exciting brand of football has taken the berliners to the heady heights of second in the league a win tonight would see them go top for a few hours at the very least. hot or die is mr stabiliser

in three full seasons at head tavern in the cup has not finished lower than tent in the bundesliga but this style of football hasn't mesmerized audiences that is until this season they have ten points from four games. in plastic four goals past who will see a mention back back in their win on saturday. i want to our best games in. the last time and i scored four goals that i remember i was going for goals in with as we go. to the answer is this hemet twenty fifteen against. since then the football's been pragmatic rather than pretty you and that has shown in attendance has last season had to fail to sell out a single game at the gigantic olympic stadium. but this season's average attendance is already up on last year as the hot ice team is finally starting to click.

we have the perfect blend i have intelligent older and experienced players i think that's good they know they have to perform but on the other side the younger players can watch and learn a lot the mood with the team is also good. and we will have time payment on tuesday would guarantee i talk to clash with bae and at home on friday if that doesn't put bombs on seats in bahrain nothing will. do well for more on help says stellar start to the season we have jonathan crane here d.w. sports page of them so had been plodding along couple of seasons nothing very spectacular what so what's the difference this time around really sounds obvious terry but they managed to string a few wins together because the biggest problem in the past has been consistent see

especially at home they've always struggled to find regular for now they have a coach who's very popular with the fans in fact he spent most of his playing career paths that he's managed to as we had in the piece stabilized and then no longer a club the flow of relegation but what he's done this season he's east brought in some younger players to complement some of the more experienced players in the sport to resend from manchester city a very good example a very exciting prospect and also some players who struggled with injuries in the path of comeback notably andre do death for both so far this season he's flourishing and the number ten role so you move over jeff bridges as a new dude in town he's in. attendance is up to they say they're at their there as we heard in our piece but still there are people talking about wanting help to to leave the olympic stadium this beautiful stadium why are some other fans some fans i'm happy with it it is

a piece of stadium but let's not forget it was built in one thousand nine hundred eighty six absent. stadium to host the olympics it was never really intended to be used as a football stadium i think the problem you have is fans feel very far removed from the action you have to track around the pitch so it's very difficult to create this feed problems legal atmosphere that we used to and the capacity seventy five thousand now has or two will if they get two thirds of that so that's why we see the empty seats they do want to move to another stadium the tide in the olympic stadium and still trying to twenty five but after that they are looking to build a new stadium next to the impact stadium and they want to create what they say is a more intense football experience. now they're up against braman a win against braman for her would mean a top two clash with byan here in berlin on friday can have to realistically challenge for this title well look four games unbeaten at the start of the season doesn't mean you're going to challenge for the title but they have made

a very very good start i think the thing with britain's leader is very difficult to challenge by munich binah so dominant they're ruthless in attack the title defense they don't make many mistakes they don't miss chances like today's right there but what they can do i think is challenge for champions league places we know that behind buying the bronze leader is often very tight shout for example who finished second last season and made an awful start to the season leverkusen unlike this also struggling so it seems that normally out there aren't doing so well it does seem to be opportunities for other teams to fill about voids i think the big test comes this week braman tonight also on base and then of course by and on friday the big one if they can come away from those two matches with four points i think refound will be feeling very optimistic indeed exciting week in the bonus league adjusts and praying for the sport's thinks. three. soccer's governing body has named croatian midfielder luka moderates the world's best male player at an

awards ceremony in london moderates was chosen for the prize after helping real madrid win a third consecutive champions league title he was then player of the tournament captaining croatia to the country's first ever world cup final in the women's category brazilian break martha took the award for the sixth time she scored thirteen goals as orlando pride reached the playoffs and captain brazil to victory in the copa america. you're watching w there's still to come. well now still to come this is actually happening right now you're looking at live pictures from the from new york where the u.n. general assembly is underway right now the president of brazil michel tema is speaking we're expecting u.s. president donald trump to be next and we're going to be carrying president speech live in its entirety here on details here. by you.

well turkey's president rich of time early on who is also due to speak at the u.n. general assembly today he's due to visit germany later in the week relations between the two countries have been strained following turkey's failed coup two years ago and the subsequent government crackdown if there's a strong connection between germany and turkey because waves of migration over the decades have resulted in germany being home to the largest turkish population outside the home country today there are nearly three million people with turkish roots here in germany half of them one point five million have a turkish per sport among those who voted in turkey's presidential elections in june loyalty to president one was strong out of one got sixty five percent of the german turkish but now that's nearly two thirds it's significantly higher than the ones overall results back in turkey fifty three percent. well even

though people of turkish heritage have been in germany for decades there's still heated debate about how successfully they've been integrated one woman says she's sick of being called a migrant even though she was born here in germany and she's fighting back against the clichés by using a very particular kind of humor take a look. at every precious. helps transform into how. a touch of lipstick and the metamorphoses is complete meaty let. the kids. he used to be a social worker now she's a stand up comedian who zeroes in on the discrimination of turkish immigrants in germany the issue is close to her heart her family has turkish rates.

there are so many double standards. when a turkish student struggles to pay attention at school it's attributed to his loud culture. but a german child is just having a bad day concentrating. on these are thought to be deal by does break free came out of. his shtick is the street slang used by german teenagers of turkish origin. of a thousand a month among all of that you can stick your integration where the sun don't shine either you belong or you don't and you've shown us that we don't belong know what i mean the next person who uses the word integration i'm going to slap so hard they're going to fly all the way out of germany i swear i think. that's a special form of the german language many immigrants speak to translate some of their own phrases into german. it's

a lingo that aims to create solidarity and build a community that offers migrants what they don't have a sense of belonging. to. a show is still plenty of laughter but there's a serious aspect to them to the deal by fighting against discrimination and racism with a goal that germany recognizes that immigrants from tikki and elsewhere as rightful german citizens this. is. to those of you think i'm a product of adeline he's got nothing to do with me i'm just a kid from the german ghetto this is huge and. i need to improve. unification between germans and immigrants and highlight the emotional toll of discrimination and laughter is her way into gemma's hearts and minds. to china and russia are in the capital beijing used to mean streets crammed with

bicycles but the nation's spectacular economic growth in the last thirty years has seen people swap two wheels for poor and that means a huge band to learn how to drive so i went to visit driving school where as with everything else in china they think not just big but huge. thousands of gleaming cars wait in neat rows. for the first bus loads of learners and teachers to arrive from all over beijing at six thirty in the morning they're welcomed by music blaring from loudspeakers. a typical morning at the world's biggest driving school with more than two hundred thousand students a year do you know is one of them her instructor starts by showing her how to shut the door properly she's already worried about driving in beijing. so hazard

i'm afraid of the traffic jams and pedestrians who cross the road at a red light and don't follow the rules of the drivers who believe again us and push and. measured how we travel and. around six million cars crawl along beijing's traffic arteries which resemble more of a battleground. trainees learn and practice roadways the size of two hundred eighty football fields they're only allowed to drive on public roads towards the end of their training and only in the suburbs. the city center is too congested to accommodate as. the city is packed with people and cars the learners are inexperienced if we let them practice on the real roads they get in the way and cause traffic jams and. you know has four hours of training today she has to do forty in total her teacher says hey

asheville get prepared for the real thing when you. practice ground mimics everything you'd find on city roads including steep sections and curves. there are hills bridges tunnels even a flooded road. at the entrance to screenplays dramatic videos warning of accidents caused by motorists using their phones at the wheel speeding and drinking. students can practice on simulators and now they can even experience the thrill of driving in virtual reality the school provides its clients with the latest technology they just have to fork out around seven hundred euros for the training.

you now want to take her test in two months it might take a while to get her own car she'd have to win a license plate and beijing's lottery first the chances are slim about one to two thousand for now she can use her husband's car to face the harsh reality of beijing's roadways you're watching did you know there's still to come. we've got some live pictures there for you in your screen you're looking at pictures from new york where the u.n. general assembly is underway right now the president of brazil michel is addressing the chamber or expecting u.s. president donald trump to be up at the podium right after the brazilian president and we'll be carrying donald trump speech in its entirety live here on. oh well before we bring in president trump as we wait we will cross live to

washington new york rather where our correspondent alexander phenomena is standing by at the united nations general assembly in new york at xandra so for we have heard just a couple of speakers at the u.n. general assembly meeting this is a big long ordeal we began hearing from the u.n. secretary general antonio good terrorist show what did he have to say and setting things up. it was quite interesting to listen to here because it's really dealt with climate change and how important it is to come but said the consequences of climate change and that was quite interesting because as you know the u.s. as has pulled out of the paris climate accord so it was quite a message i would say that he could then he continued to talk about other issues that. are very important to the united states nations such as working

together to sold problem crisis around the world and then he also talked about. challenging topic for the future like for example automation ok let's look ahead a bit to. was about to say because his speech is highly anticipated it really shook things up last year when. he addressed the chamber and of course over the past year his foreign policy has been a subject of debate to say the least now trump has already delivered a warning shot head of his arrival in new york by declaring that the world body quote has not lived up to its potential what is that supposed to mean. you know the u.s. president is not a fan of molecule lateral institution such as the united station nations i'm sorry

and i would say that this statement reflects attitude and reflect also the policy of his administration to you as it's beginning to with growing from united nations institutions it's about these agreements that are important for the united states nations members as you know the you asked pulled out of the paris climate accord that was seen by many members here as a milestone united states pulled out of the run deal that was backed by the u.n. security council you asked all of the withdrawal from the human rights council and it's fun for the u.n. agency for palestinian refugees so that it's quite clear that you asked is withdrawing its support for the united nations and that's what's reflected at this

statement of course so president not showing a tremendous regard for multilateral institutions is as we all know including the united nations but he will be speaking there and i'm sure he's going to be laying out his priorities the last time he was there he he chose he singled out some rogue states including iran but he saved most of his betrayal for north korea that is now a a separate chapter and many are expecting him to const. almost you know to a large degree on iran what are we what are people there in new york expecting. well it's fair to say that most people here really expect him to focus on iran we so that he's quite outspoken even on twitter threatening that if iran is not going to change its behavior it's going to see consequences they have never seen before so absurd first commentators here in the new york at the united nations really

expect him to use quite harsh words to describe his administration's policy and teeth expectations towards iran so iran is going to be one part of it but we don't expect it to be exclusively about iran we also know that their president is going to be chairing a meeting of the u.n. security council which is expected also deal with iran on wednesday what else can we expect from the campaign just about iran we know it's he might be able to tout some of his north korean diplomacy but what are his priorities at this point. well i think that north korea and as you said what is seen as progress in talks with north korea will be a major part of his speech as you know president likes to talk about what he

sees as a major success and we are now seeing fresh hope that talks with north korea can make some progress in the future with the north korean regime declaring that they are ready to dismantle one of their major nuclear sites and one of their major missile test sites so that's certainly something that president will. talking about it of course i would expect he'd once again talk about his message to all this international dignitaries had thought states and presidents here his message of the branding t. that is something that is very important for him to stress the main message of peace america for us policy that it's up to every nation to fight for its citizens and to put its citizens for its. ok i just want to tell our viewers remind them

that we are looking at live footage coming to you from the u.n. general assembly meeting where donald trump is expected to approach the podium and any moment he is the next speaker on the agenda we just heard from brazil's president michel. with me in the studio to talk about so what's happening there at the u.n. today is nicole renneberg she's an associate fellow at the german council on foreign relations nicole as we just heard from our correspondent there in new york . donald trump is expected to focus a lot on iran and he course famously pulled the united states out of the round nuclear deal the other signatories to that deal or are not happy about that and just today we've heard that russia china and united and the european union rather are looking for ways to continue this deal and maintain their trading relationship with iran is it a coincidence that that announcement came from today absolutely not and it's it's

a surprise said europe shows you me in this respect which ties nicely into the opening speech of the secretary general who by pointing to a general topics to future topics he makes clear that you condo's things alone in a in a world which is so intertwined and so complex that i think this is a message very clearly directed to dr tom who. somehow also. just feel it isolated with some office paul this is and by you know having europe sent together and by by coming up with a new mechanism to maybe even save the dia and by a want to going around and offering talks and openness to still negotiated with the us leadership i think he's in a little bit of a tricky position and i expect that because of this he might be even tougher on iran than we thought at first you know over the since trump took office we've seen

him pull the united states out of a number of bilateral and multilateral arrangements he is stressing solver and t.v. we heard that again from the secretary of state mike pompei or in the run up to this meeting in in new york saying the president is asking for countries to exert their sovereignty to solve challenges and to listen to what america might be able to do to help i'm just trying to understand what the doctrine is if he is not going to operate unilaterally course he wants to have america first we understand that but how does he expect the world to go about addressing its problems if not together. i think the most psyching future of his strategy is the flexibility which is built into his vision off what america first should be because again most of the issues all to the united states are facing cannot be solved by the united states alone and the partners he's looking out for might not be the ones who really

can take over the same kind of burden all have the means to really support the u.s. in many respects so yes he puts america first but i think a year after the first speech. there might be some dull dull it's also in his electorate how we go about it without the support of the allies in this is why the european move now on iran is very smart and very timely to show look we also have instruments we can use. yes just a reminder to our viewers if you're joining us now we are bringing you live coverage from new york where the united nations general assembly is getting underway there has been a change in the roster in the agenda and originally donald trump would be speaking at this time but i am told that the president of ecuador has now taken the podium the president has been delayed i understand that he has now arrived at the building but it will still be some time before we have him approach the protium we'll be

bringing don't trump speech to you in its entirety when he begins making up but before we get there let's catch up on what else is happening in the world today let's take a look the world health organization is warning that the ebola outbreak in the democratic republic of congo could rapidly spread in the coming weeks attacks by armed groups some community resistance to vaccinations as well as the geographic reach of the virus could create a perfect storm according to the w.h.o. . if foreign policy chief frederica moger rini has announced a deal with russia and china to dog u.s. sanctions and continue doing business with the red you might have caught our discussion of that just a moment ago washington has threatened to stop countries trading with tehran from doing business in the u.s. the united states reimpose sanctions against iran after it pulled out of a nuclear deal with the country and when donald trump does address the united

nations they will be hearing more about that i'm sure indonesian authorities have released footage showing the rescue of a teen who'd been floating for seven weeks on a raft in the pacific ocean seven weeks his wouldn't fishing rod became unmoored off the country's northern coast in mid july he says he survived by catching fish and drinking sea water filtered through his clothes. and sweden's prime in. their stuff on and off then has been ousted in a no confidence vote about two thirds of the parliament voted against lawson who leads the country social democrats as departure comes to weeks after elections that saw historic gains for right wing politicians. u.s. supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh says he will not let what he calls false accusations drive him out of the nomination process the senate plans to hear testimony this week from at least one of the two women who claim to have it all sexually assaulted

them in the one nine hundred eighty s. capitol has denied any wrongdoing here's what he said in an interview on fox news i've never sexually assaulted anyone not in high school not ever. i've always treated women with dignity and respect i'm not going to want to false accusations try boss that out of this process. who are looking for a fair process where i can be heard of certainly. my integrity my lifelong record my lifelong record of promoting the dignity and equality for women starting with the the women who knew me when i was fourteen years old. going to work. all the allegations against capital a prompt it calls for his nomination to be rejected by a shway that is in washington she went to talk to people at a protest against the supreme court nominee.

it takes a village to bring down a supreme court nomination and that's what these protesters at the u.s. capitol are asking for. allegations of sexual misconduct have cast a pall over brett kavanaugh president trumps nominated to the supreme court in the era of me to these people aren't taking it lightly it's time to listen to women it's been time to listen to women for like thousands of years at this point but finally since the women's march that was the largest global demonstration in world history we're actually coming together it's no longer he said she said but i believe that men should be held accountable and should do anything in their power to correct any injustices that they have committed in their past and i believe that hiding behind power and patriarchy is wrong and i believe that men should stand up if they have committed wrongs and admit that this storm worse by him the first the

first accusation should should be enough to have him with withdraw withdrawn the second is just now embarrassing at this point it's shameful and he should be gone i mean i hope to accomplish that that we start treating these women with with some kind of seriousness and respect i don't think they came out of nowhere i think they were i think they're for real i'm not for ruining anybody's life but if they've ruined these women's if he's ruined these women's lives and we need to talk about this. one of the accusers is scheduled to testify later this week to the senate judiciary committee in the face of growing hostility kavin on the republicans have indicated they will not give up without a fight neither are these activists. the head of catholic church here in germany has apologized for the churches failure of addressing sexual abuse over decades and for all the pain it caused officials have

just released a report detailing thousands of sexual abuse cases here in germany at the opening of the meeting of the country's bishops conference now the study found that priests had abused more than three and a half thousand children in teens in germany over seventy years the victims were mostly male and were mostly children well over one and a half thousand priests and other officials are accused of committing those crimes critics the study as well as its authors say the true scale of the abuse was probably far greater. threat. well for more on this let's bring in martin keyes d.w. is religious affairs analyst and has been dealing with this topic now for several years martin tell us how could crimes of this nature be committed for so long in this country in germany without anyone really catching wind of it i think mainly because we have seen many other cases in other countries we have something that

looks like a very broad cover i mean we have a very broad confabulation of forwards this and you know in order for these things to be brought to light you would need a lot of political will both inside the church and outside and generally speaking i mean the church is an institution that for better words have sexually enjoyed the trust of a lot of not only political groups and the church itself of course its own members but the public this put it in a position that would be institution in position that was actually quite safe to continue operating this way you know the church is supposed to be a moral authority now we're talking about serious crimes here raping children do we have any guaranteed that prosecutors law enforcement authorities in this country will use the full force of the law to go after the perpetrators i don't think we have learned to use i mean especially not based on the recent history of this affair and how governments around the world really including germany have really dragged their feet even when there was sort of inklings or there was actually a q.

sation and they issue sort of a stake now it's said there is for many parts including the church itself assertions about not just scenes being committed but crimes and of course i mean the church is in the business of adjudicating since it is national authorities and the law that is in the business of adjudicating crimes both the church and government officials are now tony mode crimes and if this is the case of course that would someone with an obligation to investigate and do something about it that report that we're talking about now has been presented publicly by the head of germany's bishops conference cardinal marx he said the church had neglected victims interest too long let's listen to part of a statement. sexual abuse is a crime those who are guilty must be punished in the church we for too long looked away covered up and didn't want it to be true as these law as the head of the

bishops conference i must take responsibility for all the failures and for all the pain caused i must also ask for forgiveness personally and that was the head of german the german bishops conference apologizing on behalf of the institution and personally for the church's failure to address the martin what do you make of that statement what does his apology mean in practice i think in a way i mean the church should be well advised to essentially stop talking to the public about forgiveness and guilt and moral could take i mean i think that it's clear to everybody that has been paying attention and at least the figures that are actually brought forward from inside the church should talk to express contrition and to express you know sort of repugnance for the kind of crimes have been committed i think of the interesting thing about the statement the pope immediately said after the pennsylvania report was the use of the word crime and the word punishment these are crimes and they need to be punished with understanding

hopefully that the church cannot punish crimes i mean this is not what the church is in the business of doing and the question now is where this opens the door for the church itself to start pulling in national authorities that is something we will see time goes by and the vatican reacts martin thank you very much religious affairs analyst mark. for. scientists in the u.s. are reporting success in helping patients with paralysis to stand and even take steps again it's all thanks to an electrical implant that zaps the spinal cord along with months of intense rehabilitation of course research is giving new hope to people suffering from spinal cord injuries. it's one step at a time jerry is able to walk again five years after an accident that left him paralyzed to be able to move. my legs and. to walk

even a stand it means a lot. that there is hope for not only me but other people. is one of three patients taking part in two separate studies in the united states has managed to walk again albeit assisted. the twenty nine year old was the first patient at the mayo clinic in minnesota to have an electrical stimulation device implanted near his damaged spinal cord. the original function of the electrical stimulator was to treat chronic pain. but it's being used experimentally to try to activate dormant circuitry in the spinal cord. and allow movement. because we were able to see the malaysia recklessly the spinal cord itself and we believe that that was very important to be able to regain volitional control or voluntary control. just one month after surgery cino commute his toe on his own

again he underwent forty three weeks of intense physical therapy and stimulator adjustments at one therapy session managed to walk the length of a football field but for him it's not about the distance. the hopeful side of that may be all gain or i can leave the wheelchair behind even if it is to walk to the refrigerator and back in his hometown you know like not very far. and hope is watching because given to those with spinal injuries who never thought standing up. or walking would ever be possible again. you're watching d.w. news still to come well we're at the united nations today you're looking right now at live pictures from new york where the u.n. general assembly is underway right now and the president of ecuador lenny is giving

his address us president is expected to speak soon i'll be bringing you his speech live here on in its entirety. but while we're waiting for donald trump to get to the podium let's move over to our correspondent xander phenomena she's standing by for us at the united nations general assembly in new york alexandra i understand that donald trump is delayed he was supposed to be already delivering his speech in new york the general assembly why why was he not there. well he actually has arrived at the u.n. and only minutes ago however as he sat he apparently missed his space in the speakers or his turn in the speakers line out because actually he was scheduled to be speaking right now so that will be interesting to learn why he was

late whether he really was late whether he's a only anticipate that the speeches before he had i would last longer what is quite striking to me at this moment is that actually i would have right now excerpts of his speech to share with you and that's the way it works it would be getting from the white house press this right now they told us not to accept and the excerpts so that's quite interesting day one says the president speech to be sort of surprise i guess ok we understand we have some footage of president trump arriving at the united nations just a short while ago as you say we did not arrive at the time that he was supposed to be should be delivering his speech right now and of course we'll be getting that in just a moment there is entering the building we do not know yet why donald trump was delayed why he didn't show up on time for his scheduled speech at united nations in new

york in new york is his home he is the president of the united states presumably he would be able to arrange a prompt arrival but anyway that's another story we're we wait for his speech we're just looking back at what he said last year and what he might be about say this year alexander phenomena is our correspondent in new york alexandra what are we expecting. xander are you with us. i think we've lost so that's just you know i am sorry i didn't hear ok. go ahead. of example. of the sender which is i didn't get your question i can't you. i was just wondering what what are we expecting from donald trump's speech at the united nations general assembly today. well i would just back this speech to

focus on two topics on north korea and the progress that is apparently being made in talks with north korea about complete and irreversible did you kill or ization of north korea so that will be one focus of his speech the other is of course iran this is one of them major topics of administration and station on security. topics right now and we can expect president. to talk about ukraine to once again stress why it is he in his perspective it's important for the iranian regime to go back to the negotiating table to negotiate and new iran deal a deal that would deal with iran's activities in the region with its missile program and of course with its support for terrorist groups that is something that

i would expect president to talk about and we could even see some very harsh words that we saw them already on twitter with president threatening that if iran is not going to change its behavior they are going to see consequences they have never seen before. ok let's come back here in the studio were nicole rembert is with us she's a fellow at the german council on foreign relations and she focuses very much on on american foreign policy is also been looking closely at what the u.s. is doing with regards to iran nicole we are expecting to talk about iran at the u.n. general assembly today just looking back at what he said last year he described iran as having as its chief exports. islands bloodshed and chaos and he will already put it in this group of rogue nations what can we expect for him from him

this year more of the same or could he even. up the ante as it were with his rhetoric and i think he would be even tough on iran first of all because he has a national security adviser now now who for years. for a year is basically lobbying to be tough on iran and he has major influence on the president with respect to this country also the european. came up with an idea how to safe then the no clear idea and how to enable european companies to go about business and with iran. might undermine his tough plan on the country so most likely in the last minutes we saw there would be even more. there would be a tougher language and there would be a tougher call for act on iran let's take a look back at what donald trump said

a year ago when he was addressing the united nations we have a little clip here this might give us an idea of what's to come today let's listen in rocket man is not a suicide mission for himself and for his regime the united states has great strength and patients but if it is forced to defend itself words our lives we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. no choice but to totally destroy north korea. rather frightening thought the implications i mean that would imply an attack on north korea that is it's incendiary rhetoric coming to be to be open about it. the chance that he might tone down his rhetoric a little bit this year i don't think so and the thing is the excitement and the.

after the talk last. quite alarming because the audience didn't expect. to read that north korea might be destroyed on the other hand we saw that the president then very ego the met with the leadership of north korea so it is still really really a mixed message. often delivers and also with respect to his speech now we don't know even if he talks tough on certain countries what you know might be the consequences of what would happen after he gives a speech well let's stick with iran for a moment and cross back over to new york where our correspondent of xander from naaman is standing by for us. must be very interesting there today indeed because not only is donald trump expected to address the united nations general assembly but to morrow on wednesday he's expected to chair a meeting of the u.n. security council which is also going to be dealing with iran. what are what are

insiders there at the at the u.n. saying about that. well the most interesting thing about this you and security council tomorrow is that initially president once it's mainly about iran during this council meeting and then being persuaded by you ask the european allies the administration decided to talk you know to to talk about iran and to say the same time about proliferation. and chemical called. for mass destruction weapons because they knew that talking only about. divisions that are there between you as you. and you ask and that would be of course

nothing that european allies would like to see at this moment that that's i think the most interesting thing about to morrow's you add security council meeting just to remind your viewers our viewers here we're about to cross over to the general assembly plenary hall where donald trump the u.s. president is about to address the chamber we're talking with our correspondent in new york that's all that's on there from naaman with me in the studio we also have nicole rembert from the german council on foreign relations nicole we we have trump hosting a meeting of the u.n. security council to morrow after delivering the speech today this is well this but this is the first time i believe that he has china as chaired that meeting what is going to what's it going to be like inside that room would be continuity tense meeting because i think it would be even might be even more interesting what we will hear today from his speech the first indication is that it will be

a surprise to most of the audience is that they already changing the it's. and so far. the european allies and the members of the security council had other issues on the topic and not on the iran which was confirmed by mickey haiti but now it seems it would be again shifted to the original idea so iran will be the main topic so the europeans moved into a different direction with respect to the deal they tried to save it they tried to find ways to also support the honea and to scuttle mend. and the u.s. administration at this point once the opposite they want the iranians to make concessions and they want to build up pressure so with see it will be a very confrontational meeting i expect tomorrow at that meeting of course you have the permanent members of the u.n. security council who clued friends and the u.k.

these till now are very close allies of the united states but they really disagree on the nuclear on the iran nuclear question on how to deal with the iran nuclear agreement you mentioned that this accord is now just been worked out between the other signatories to the deal which also includes china. and russia to the iran nuclear deal to trying to salvage it can the rest of the world really salvage the deal given the the huge particularly financial power of the united states where the tricky part is that even if if if they if they europeans especially france and great britain find a way you know to to rescue the deal or to do all to show to the iranian state they find the mechanism so they have business can be done i do need the money transfer i can can work with the new institutions the real problematic question comes in when one really makes

a decision that companies in europe who deal with iran might face sanctions from the u.s. i don't think for example. german companies can withhold the pressure and they will be forced to choose between the united states and their business in iran and everybody knows what comes out of this kind off decision the europeans here germany for example they have to make concessions at the end and talk knows about it but. the meeting at the security council is not only about business it's also about saving say it and it's all it's about how do allies work with the united states i just remind our viewers you're looking at live pictures there on the upper part of your screen coming from the united nations general assembly the general assembly is has just gotten into session today we've already heard from a couple of leaders we've heard from the president of brazil also the president of ecuador has addressed the chamber president trump was supposed to speak second but

he simply wasn't there on time he arrived at the united nations. after he was supposed to be speaking so we do expect him to be walking up to the podium any moment now and we'll be carrying his speech for you in its entirety live meanwhile we are talking with our correspondents in washington. xandra from naaman and in our studio here we have nicole rembert from the german council on foreign relations we're hearing the the chair of the meeting there in washington just now are in new york introducing president trump and so we can expect him to proceed to the podium momentarily i think just one final question to you nicole hopefully will have donald trump on the podium any any second now but getting back to the iran nuclear deal if what is president trump strategy in bringing. iran oh

there's president trump no one has have moving up to the podium so let's cross straight over to new york now since he's excellent donald from president of the united states of america and to invite him to address the assembly you have the floor sir. madam president. mr secretary general. world leaders ambassadors and distinguished delegates. one year ago i stood before you for the first time in this grand hall. i addressed the threats facing our world and i presented a vision to achieve a brighter future for all of humanity. today i stand before the united

nations general assembly to share the extraordinary progress we've made. in less than two years my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country. america yours so true. i didn't expect that reaction but that's ok i. america's economy is booming like never before since my election we have added ten trillion dollars in while the stock market is at an all time high in history and jobless claims already fifty year low. african-american hispanic american

and asian american unemployment have all achieved their lowest levels ever recorded we've added more than four million new jobs including half a million manufacturing jobs. we have passed the biggest tax cuts and reforms in american history. we've started the construction of a major border wall and we have greatly strengthened border security. we have secured record funding for our military seven hundred billion dollars this year and seven hundred sixteen billion dollars next year our military will soon be more powerful than it has ever been before. in other words the united states is stronger safer and a richer country than it was when i assumed office less than two years ago. we are standing up for america and for the american people and we are also

standing up for the world. this is great news for our citizens and for peace loving people everywhere we believe that when nations respect the rights of their neighbors and defend the interests of their people they can better work together to secure the blessings of safety prosperity and peace. each of us here today is the emissary of a distinct culture a rich history and they people back together by ties of memory tradition and the values that make our homelands like nowhere else on earth. that is why america will always choose independence and cooperation over global governance control and domination i honor the right of every nation in this

room to pursue its own customs beliefs and traditions the united states will not tell you how to live or work or worship. we only ask that you honor our sovereignty in return. from warsaw to brussels to tokyo to singapore it has been my highest honor to represent the united states abroad i have forged close relationships and friendships and strong partnerships with the leaders of many nations in this room and our approach has always yielded incredible change. with support from many countries here today we have engaged with north korea to replace the specter of conflict with a bold and new push for peace. in june i traveled to

singapore to meet face to face with north korea's leader kim jong. we had highly productive conversations and meetings and we agreed that it was in both countries interest to pursue the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. since that meeting we have already seen a number of encouraging measures that few could have imagined only a short time ago. the missiles and rockets are no longer flying in every direction nuclear testing has stopped some military facilities are already being dismantled. our hostages have been released and as promised the remains of our fallen heroes are being returned home. to lay at rest in american soil. i would like to thank chairman kim for his courage and for the steps he is take it

though much work remains to be done these sanctions will stay in place until the nuclearization a curse i also want to thank the many member states who helped us reach this moment . a moment that is actually far greater than people would understand far greater. but for also their support. and the critical support that we will all need going forward special thanks to president moon of south korea prime minister abi of japan and president xi of china. in the middle east our new approach is also yielding great strides and very historic change following my trip to saudi arabia last year. the gulf countries opened a new center to target terrorist financing. they are in forcing new sanctions

working with us to identify and track terrorist networks and taking more responsibility for fighting terrorism and extremism in their own region. the u.a.e. so he arabia and qatar have pledged billions of dollars to aid the people of syria and yemen and they are pursuing multiple avenues to ending yemen's horrible horrific civil war. ultimately it is up to the nations of the region to decide what kind of future they want for themselves and their children. for that reason the united states is working with the gulf cooperation council. jordan and egypt to establish a regional strategic alliance so that middle eastern nations can advance prosperity

stability and security across their home region. thanks to the united states military. and our partnership with many of your nations i am pleased to report that the bloodthirsty killers known as isis have been driven out from the territory they once held in iraq and syria. we will continue to work with friends and allies to deny radical islamic terrorists any funding territory or support. for any means of infiltrating our borders. the ongoing tragedy in syria is heartbreaking. our shared goals must be the deescalation of military conflict along with a political solution that honors the will of the syrian people. in this

pain weird as the united nations led peace process be reinvigorated but rest assured the united states will respond if chemical weapons are deployed by the assad regime. i commend the people of jordan and other neighboring countries for hosting refugees from this very brutal civil war. as we see in jordan. the most compassionate policy is to place refugees as close to their homes as possible. to ease their eventual return to be part of the rebuilding process this approach also stretches finite resources to help far more people increasing the impact of every dollar spent. every solution to the humanitarian

crisis in syria must also include a strategy to address the brutal regime that is fueled and financed it. the corrupt dictatorship in iran iran's leaders so chaos death and destruction. they do not respect their neighbors or borders. with the sovereign rights of nations. instead iran's leaders plunder the nation's resources. to enrich themselves and to spread mayhem across the middle east and far beyond your radient people are rightly outraged that their leaders have been bezel billions of dollars from iran's treasure. seize valuable portions of the economy. and looted the people's religious and its oil to line their own pockets and send

their proxies to wage war not good. iran's neighbors have paid a heavy toll for the region's agenda of aggression and expansion. that is why so many countries in the middle east. strongly supported my decision to withdraw the united states from the horrible two thousand and fifteen iran nuclear deal and reimpose nuclear sanctions. the iran deal was a windfall for iran's leaders. in the years since the deal was reached iran's military budget grew nearly forty percent. the dictatorship use the funds to build nuclear capable missiles increase internal repression.

finance terrorism and fund havoc and slaughter. in syria. and yemen. the united states has launched a campaign of economic pressure to deny the regime the funds it needs to advance. it's bloody agenda. last month we began reimposing hard hitting nuclear sanctions that have been lifted. under the iran deal. additional sanctions will resume nov fifth and more will follow and we are working with countries that importer raney in crude oil to cut their purchases substantially. we cannot allow the world's leading sponsor of terrorism. to possess the planet's most dangerous weapons. we cannot allow a regime that chants death to america and that threatens israel with annihilation

to possess the means to deliver a nuclear warhead that. to any city on earth. just can't do it we ask all nations to isolate iran's regime as long as its aggression continues and we ask well nations to support iran's people as they struggle to reclaim. their religious and righteous destiny. this year we also took another significant step forward in the middle east in recognition of every seven state to determine its own capital i move the u.s. embassy in israel to jerusalem. the united states is committed to a future of peace and stability in the region including peace between the israelis

and the palestinians. that aim is advanced. not harm by acknowledging the obvious facts. america's policy of principled real ism means we will not be held hostage to old dog was discredited idea elegies and so-called experts who have been proven wrong over the years time. and time again. this is true not only in matters of peace. but in matters of prosperity. we believe that trade must be fair and reciprocal. the united states will not be taken advantage of any longer. for decades the united states opened its economy. the largest by far on earth with few conditions

we allowed foreign goods from all over the world to flow freely across our borders . yet other countries did not grant us fair and reciprocal access to their markets in return. even worse some countries abuse their openness to dump their products subsidize their goods target our industries and manipulate their currency is to gain unfair advantage over our country. as a result our trade deficit balloon to nearly eight hundred billion dollars a year for this reason we are systematically renegotiating. broken and bad trade deals. last month we announced a groundbreaking u.s. mexico trade agreement. and just yesterday i stood with president moon.

to announce the successful completion of the brand new us korea trade deal. and this is just the beginning. many nations in this hall will agree that the world trading system is in dire need of change. for example countries. were admitted to the world trade organization that violate every single principle on which the organisation is based. while the united states and many other nations play by the rules these countries use government run industrial planning and state owned enterprises to rig the system in their favor. they engage in relentless product dumping. forced technology transfer.

and the theft of intellectual property. the united states lost over three million manufacturing jobs nearly a quarter of all steel jobs. and sixty thousand factories efter china joined the w.t. . and we have racked up thirteen trillion dollars in trade deficits. over the last two decades but those days are over. we will no longer tolerate such abuse we will not allow our workers to be victimized our companies to be cheated. and our wealth. to be plundered and transferred. america will never apologize for protecting its citizens. the united states has just announced tariffs on another two hundred billion dollars in chinese made goods for

a total so far of two hundred fifty billion dollars. i have great respect and affection for my friend president xi but i have made clear our trade imbalance is just not acceptable china's market distortions. and the way they deal. cannot be tolerated. as my administration has demonstrated america will always act in our national interests i spoke before this body last year and warned that the un human rights council had become a grave embarrassment to this institution. shielding egregious human rights abuses while bashing america. and its many friends. our ambassador. to the united nations nikki haley. laid out

a clear agenda for reform but despite reported and repeated warnings. no action at all. it was taken. so the united states took the only responsible course we withdrew from the human rights council. and we will not return until real reform is an act. for similar reasons the united states will provide no support and recognition to the international criminal court. as far as america is concerned the i.c.c. has no jurisdiction no legitimacy and no if. the i.c.c. claims near universal jurisdiction over the citizens of every country. violating all principles of justice fairness and due process. we will never surrender america's sovereignty to an unelected unaccountable global bureaucracy.

america is governed by america we reject the ideology of globalism and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism. around the world responsible nations must defend against threats to sovereignty not just from global golf. but also from other new forms of coercion and domination. in america we believe strongly in energy secured for ourselves and for our allies. we have become the largest energy producer anywhere on the face of the earth. the united states stands ready to export our abundant affordable supply of oil clean

coal and natural gas opec. and opec nations are as usual ripping off the rest of the world. and i don't like it. nobody should like it. we defended many of these nations for nothing. and then they take advantage of us by giving us high oil prices not good. we want them to stop raising prices we want them to start lowering prices and they must contribute substantially to military protection from now on. we're not going to put up with that. these horrible prices much longer. reliance on a single foreign supplier can leave a nation vulnerable to extortion and intimidation that is why we can gradually.

european states such as poland for leading the construction of a baltic pipeline so that nations are not dependent on russia to meet their energy needs germany will become totally dependent on russian energy if it does not immediately change course. here in the western hemisphere we are committed.
