only this way. to meet some of the candidates on g.w. me. this is d w news live from berlin donald trump shrugs off outrage from critics following a spate of boarded bomb attacks. there by the way do you see how nice or prevent the region of course just like have you ever seen move. through all b.s. me very well. he says it's the media who are responsible for

ensuring a civil political debate that's after a bomber targeted democrats regularly vilified by trump and his supporters also coming up germany's far right sets up an online platform for schoolchildren to denounce teachers who make political statements in class germany's justice minister calls it a tool of dictators and we'll take you to lake victoria where a dispute over this tiny rock has two african nations at loggerheads. with. i'm sara kelly welcome to the program u.s. president donald trump has sought to deflect criticism over the country's violent political climate at a rally in wisconsin he said that it was america's media that needed to ensure stability in public discourse this despite a bomber sending explosive devices to

a string of targets regularly singled out for ridicule by trump and his supporters . pipe bombs sent by post the targets prominent critics of u.s. president donald trump. the secret service intercepted one bomb sent to the home of hillary clinton trump's democratic opponent in the two thousand and sixteen election another was addressed to former president barack obama. a third arrived in the mail room of broadcaster c.n.n. addressed to former cia director john brennan the devices were mailed in similar padded envelopes and with the same address labels suggesting a coordinated attack. in a speech at the white house on wednesday trump condemned the apparent crime i just want to tell you that in these times we have to unify we have to come together. and

send one very clear strong and mistake of all message that acts were threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the united states of america for sending of us yet many prominent democrats have accused trump of having brazenly encouraged tax especially on the press. trump has labeled media outlets such as c.n.n. the enemy of the people and recently praised a republican politician for physically harming a journalist in response to the speech top democrats chuck schumer and nancy pelosi released a statement saying trump's words ring hollow unless he reverses the statements that condone acts of violence. john brennan one of the intended targets of an explosive also criticize the president's rhetoric. he needs to rethink what he is doing and saying he should not be beating the

tom toms of anger and animosity and war trump appeared to respond to these reproaches at a rally in wisconsin later that day. the media and also has a responsibility to share a single time i do still have the andrews hostility constant negative and boring times full syntax and. in less than two weeks polls open in the first general election since trump took office and as authorities search for suspects the country remains politically charged. let's go straight to our washington correspondent my as fader who is standing by with the latest my what more do we know about these packages and the investigation that has been launched. well the packages themselves

were very crude as we saw they were just your standard sort of padded. the f.b.i. upon x. raying them found that each of the devices inside of these were about six inches long it's about fifteen centimeters long and packed with powder and broken glass and their estimate was that whoever put these things together was a beginner at this so these devices could certainly hurt people several people in fact could maybe even kill someone but they weren't going to bring down any buildings and it does leave open the question as long as we still don't know who was who did this or what their motivation was did they actually intend to hurt people do they just want to scare people and what kind of message did they want to send my aunt to tell us more about the tone in the country right now because we heard the president calling for unity on the one hand while on the other hand criticizing the media how is that gone down. it is interesting that he

struck he did strike a somewhat softer tone at this campaign rally much softer than he. warranted to strike especially if you paid attention to any of the other speeches that he's been giving during these rallies in the run up to the midterm elections which we're now less than two weeks away from. but he is still not accepting blame for any of this although it is interesting to note that the people who were targeted by these packages are people who as we have said are often targets of scorn and ridicule by trump and by his supporters and he's really shunting the blame off not only onto the media but on to democrats calling on the toxicity to stop and saying that they have to in so many words rein in their people on the democratic leaders have been pushing right back saying that these words are. a hollow coming from triumph if anything this event is really just going to deep in polish

a cold divide as we approach the election maya let's talk a little bit more about those key midterm elections we know the republicans trying to keep their majority in congress what sort of impact could these bomb incidents have on the vote. well it's certainly going to rile up the voter bases if nothing else and certainly the democrats are feeling rather attacked given that the people who were sent these packages are some of them are icons of the american left right now. and it's also going to rile up the republicans in a certain way we saw the president being able to very easily more or less brush this off and it's going to. nerve most people who are watching this my afraid are in washington thank you. let's get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin so man has vowed to bring the killers of jamal khashoggi

to justice if his first public speech since the journalists murders the prince said that saudi arabia would work with turkey on a joint investigation into his murder riyadh has acknowledged that she was killed inside of the country's istanbul consulate but the government denies the principles involved. russian president vladimir putin has warned of a new arms race if the us pulls out of weapons treaties his country would respond in kind to any new u.s. missiles in europe putin said last week u.s. president donald trump and now it's that he would ditch a key cold war era nuclear pact. and iraq's parliament has voted to confirm prime minister adel. is a new government he was named prime minister on october third and was given thirty days to form a government or lose his appointment enough captive members have now been confirmed

to ratify a government but several key posts including defense minister remain unfilled. now to a worrying development for germany's school teachers the far right alternative for germany or a.f.p. has set up a new online platform for school children described all pupils can use the website to denounce teachers for making political statements in class that has left educators angry and drawing comparisons to the worst iris of german history did ever use tessa claire reports. leak official a teacher in dresden enjoys lively discussions with her students including politics she says it's the only way young people will become involved in civil society when they grow up but she could get into trouble if the far right parties online portal succeeds if patronage finds and thought when i first heard about this for upholding platform i was outraged this type of platform was from innocent of a time when

a culture of denunciation was widespread. official remembers that time she became a teacher before german reunification when dressed in was still part of communist east germany back then teachers risked being denounced by students if they didn't owe the party line to both the. you can't express any political views and public anymore i can do it privately with my family but not in the open. the a f t's website invites students in the state of saxony to anonymously report teachers who voiced political views the f.t.c. has this is to ensure germany's neutrality code is enforced that code prohibits teachers from using their authority to influence students political attitudes. i want to use this portal not just for party politics but also to see what else is happening in schools if there's discrimination against girls or discrimination against german students by foreigners which is increasingly happening because of

migration every want to intervene quickly so we don't have the same situation that we have in schools in berlin or homburg where islam has already gained a foothold in discrimination begins in the classroom. it is company also looking to begin the a.f.d. perceives danger everywhere in germany from muslims immigration and teachers taking a stand against right wing nationalism as a contest it is grotesque nonsense to accuse teachers of this sort of thing i strongly reject it i need informed interest sponsible teachers who can lead discussions in saxony schools not the kind the if he wants the league official is convinced the neutrality code is just a pretext the platform really aims to identify teachers who are critical of the f.d.a. and then get them fired if possible but she's not afraid of her students i'm tired of. some of the students that indicated that they know about this platform many of

us weren't aware of it less than ten his reaction was don't worry we won't say anything bad about. authorities are looking into the legality of the they have to use online portals for now the platform doesn't appear to have silenced teachers likely to fish or she's more determined than ever to speak out. and for more on this let's bring in political correspondent hons brown to is here to talk about the website and the buzz that it is certainly created what does the a.f.p. hope to achieve with this website although right wing populus of the strategy of presenting themselves as victims of society and sun census as being kind of pushed to the margins of society as being discriminated against and this is one further afield where they are trying to. posit this kind of statement that within the schools they ideology with their thinking their lives their thinking is being discriminated against so it's a matter of kind of. bringing the bringing of the discussion on to the feel of

putting it if the kind of as a victim and causing some kind of controversy probably ality of it is this legal what they're doing that's a very difficult question obviously there portals all over the internet where you can kind of give life. for doctors for hotels for schools and also for teachers they already portals where you can assess your teacher but those tend to be for people who are rigid and within that portal within that registration there is no new maty in this case the people who are raising accusations remain on the most and only the dinos what the accusations in fact also it's not really very public it's being examined whether this is legal or not there's no conclusive evidence yet i just generally speaking let's talk a little bit more about german teachers are they allowed to express political opinions in schools there is

a so-called neutrality code for teachers which does not prevent them from expressing their political opinion it says that they are not to to launch. promote their political opinion that they should allow other political opinions in discussion in schools but pete teachers are encouraged in fact to have political discussions in schools because that's important for students to become you know full time full fully qualified as it were citizens of a country. there's a fine line there between promoting one's views and suppressing other views and. discussion and just briefly before we go germany's justice minister has labelled the denunciation website as a tool of dictator strong comments why well germany has this history a two part history in the stands eastern germany was a communist country for a long time and their teachers wouldn't if they did not know the communist party law and then obviously we have a history of nazi rightwing dictatorship in germany where the same thing happens as

it were from the other side if you were not nazi policy at that time you could get in on some could get into real trouble so within the german historical context this is a very delicate situation a very delicate. question and that's why the justice minister has this opinion political correspondent hans brunt thank you so much for bringing us up to date. on now east african neighbors kenya and uganda have been locked in a longstanding dispute over part of their border both nations lay claim to a tiny island in lake victoria a piece of land that is surrounded by valuable fishing waters local politicians in kenya even asked the government to seek help from the international court of justice but to no avail the fishing hub has attracted a growing number of people trying to earn a living. this tiny rock justing out of lake victoria bustles with life. the overlapping rusty shacks home to around five hundred

fisherman crammed in among them are a few bods brothels and shops. we can go is only the size of half a football pitch but the island is the cause of a longstanding london spewed between kenya and uganda. and. the kenyans like to say this is kenya we don't know who owns the silent we've just come here to make money and that's why we left our homes. the island sits in africa's largest lake it began gaining attention in the early two thousand while fish stocks woodwind lng along the shores of lake victoria the deep waters around making go teamed with putt. when kenya and uganda and security forces to claim the valuable island in two thousand and nine they almost triggered

africa's smallest war. the latest spot fled in september when kenya tried to hoist its flag on the island despite the tensions people from across east africa still drawn to making go. came a years ago. plenty of fish. while islanders get on with their lives in cramped quarters a joint commission from kenya and uganda is trying to agree where the border lies for now they co-manage making go a rocky marriage of convenience. there are some big games in the champions league last night and i have good noise from d. to the sports to give us the lowdown you have to start with dortmund versus athletico this was really built as a huge match up did it live up yes and they well i mean of course their big

expectations because. when the one of the few teams left in europe so far this season to remain beaten everybody in form of the top of the bundesliga i'd like to go played in two of the last five john his leaf on it was they were brilliant champions league contender but the exceeded all of their best or their fans best expectations they went in front in the first hole through. and then rafael guerrero's to for the goals in the second half he came on as a substitute so brilliant tactical work their bodies some fava and then it was another substitute the young englishman jade and son show who rounded off the four nil defeat novak defeat is actually it's diego simeone easier to go coach is heaviest ever loss since he's been in charge there in two thousand and eleven so. a very historic rizzo actually for dortmund last night against one of the best defenses in the world let's talk about another great game last night that is part of such a man and napoli tell us a little bit more about what that was another four go through. perhaps the most

difficult group in the draw with a season now not put he went ahead twice first of all through their money in senior then go. back to level the belgian international freeze matins. not to be back in front before i go the maria rescued a point for the hosts in stoppage time now. in the other game in that group liverpool be a red star belgrade for neil so they go top of that group now on nine points which means the pressure is really on p.s.g. if they manage to qualify from that group this season as their coach told us to feel very well knows we can even hear from him in a moment i believe and i would listen to what he had to say off the game yesterday . she did a spec to put that group i'm sure have respect for this group but i know that it's very difficult with liverpool and napoli in my opinion we're not the favorites even

if everybody else doesn't listen to that so believe me. so meantime group b. we know that they saw a clash between barcelona and inter milan is that group already decided. i mean we're only halfway through the off course hopefully first three games of six already been played but that doesn't mean three are yet to come so i don't think it's quite decided just yet have you said that there has been a pattern already emerging and that is a pattern of bosler the dominance now they played yesterday with messi he was out with a broken arm but they still have one of the best teams in the world i'm into i couldn't really get back to close to them. also learn to control the game they had sixty four percent position they had fourteen shots on target into two i mean the end it was goals from refereeing jordi alba. the game in barcelona favor now the other game in that group tottenham and p.s.v. hope each other to drool so we're seeing

a mirror actually of group also on top with nine points then into on six in the p.s.p. just with one point each side of those two want to qualify they've got. pretty steep hill to trot out work to do here talk you know from day that you sports thank you so much. for one hour at the w.c. a finals in singapore two of this season's grand slam champions faced off u.s. open winner naomi osaka took on wimbledon champion angelica kerber with the german taking the first set six four in the second set osaka battled back to win seven five levelling the contest and forcing a decisive third set but the american couldn't keep the comeback going kerber took the third set six four and won the match she needs to win again on friday to see. your qualification for the semi final. more news now with your hard sell for is and we start with cathay pacific which seems to have

a security problem that's right after the shares have come under massive pressure today as the home base the airline has reported a massive data breach one of his biggest. says a hacker gained access to information on more than nine million passengers which exposed personal information of customers including passport and telephone numbers earlier this year but was only made public yesterday however the carrier says there has been no evidence of misuse of the information so far pacific is the third major airline to report a data breach this year of the british airways and delta airlines it merged similar incidents. back of the block for the first time in two years the production ramp up for the mobile three saw the u.s. electric comic post a net income of three hundred and eleven million dollars in the last quarter also calming shareholders nerves the launch of the mobile three had been delayed by

a series of technical and logistical glitches has repeatedly failed to hit unrealistic production targets deadlines said by c.e.o. elon musk while the new figures mark the carmakers best ever things this is just the third time it has posted a quarterly profit since going public in twenty ten. italy and the e.u. heads the troubled member state is resisting austerity measures from brussels for the e.u. commission it's about nothing less than the security of the military union it says that is that that is what italy the third largest economy is putting at risk. the italian government is in a fix it has two point three trillion euros worth of old debt and a credit rating getting closer to junk status and there are expensive plans for upcoming election campaigns. the government wants to borrow even more money two point four percent of the country's g.d.p.

too much of brussels the european commission has rejected the proposal for the italian budget. interior minister matteo salvini said he won't remove a single year zero from the budget but the fact remains italian government bonds are among the riskiest with a yield of three and a half percent they sit three point one percent above the secured german bond just repaying the interest could crush italy it's money that the country does not have and the problem might be about to get worse the european central bank wants to hold its bond buying program at the end of december its expansive monetary policy will also likely be cut back from october twenty ninth seen both of these factors will put further strain on the italian budget could this be a rehash of the greek crisis. the third largest economy in the e.u. is in big trouble the question is how far is the e.u. prepared to go to save it. that's preamp as a doctor here to affirm he is

a professor of international economics as university of sun god a. professor the porter is silly with a longer period of low interest rates how long can that go on. well the e.c.b. already announced able to phase out a program. i won't think we can to. present each. look at individual governments too much so i don't think. extend along at the low interest rates for longer today what is the disadvantage of these low interest rates and which other countries suffer from at the most it's a good question that's exactly the dilemma the e.c.b. faces the e.c.b. has to do with one policy for a whole year or so and for another college lecture money low interest rates mean

there the move is fooled with more gets a line and they would need higher interest rates too low interest rates mean. whom e's is fooled sume their economy could face inflation or even worse that they're low interest rates this means low productivity and not performing for and they still can find solutions and so the catalyst even if the wrong firms and new firms new sectors leading the capital they are not financed. so where there's this combination of low taxes and high government spending will lead italy and the e.u. ultimately. well italy is already in a in a difficult situation that level is very high on the other side they are facing recession in particular etting uncertainty from the point of view of the government low taxes in some sense would of course help eataly. but.

if low taxes or high spending mean higher uncertainty for italian go to snow's of course italian bond holders these will lead to tell italy into a catch on to a catastrophic half. that's boss professor follow me from the international economics institute. and that's all your business news here's a reminder of the top story we're following for you here on w u s president on a trump those sorts of deflect criticism in the wake of a male bombing campaign targeting notable democrats at a rally in wisconsin the trump said it was the us media that was responsible for ensuring a civil political climate. message up today you're watching news from above and there's more news coming out at the top of the hour and of course don't forget you can get all the latest news on a formation around the poll on our web site that's dot com thank you very much for
