this is d.w. news coming to you live from berlin a glimmer of hope for yemen the warring sides closer to peace talks raising hopes of an end to the devastating war that has pushed millions to the brink of starvation also coming up a stunning fall from grace nissan boss carlos gone one of the world's most influential executives is arrested in japan he's accused of underreporting millions

of dollars of income plus. tensions rise at a mexican border town as local residents protest the arrival of thousands of migrants looking to enter the united states. hello i'm terry martin thanks for being with us international pressure is growing on the warring parties in yemen to bring that country's bitter conflict to an end the who the rebels have agreed to stop their missile attacks on saudi arabia and signaled willingness for a wider ceasefire iranian group has been fighting the saudi backed government for nearly four years the united nations is looking to get all sides to the negotiating table the world body says the situation in yemen is the worst manmade humanitarian

crisis in the world. for yemenis young and old a ceasefire can't come soon enough as many as eighteen million people more than half the country a close to starvation four years of conflict has brought yemen to its knees. the moslem our own have no shelter we have nothing we don't even have water our children are sick. doctors just can't keep up with the number of malnourished patients. class that we receive twenty five malnutrition cases every single week a capacity here is very limited and i guess the army ahead of us if they get that but on monday some hope for a visibly broken country the yemeni government said it would attend un brokered peace talks. on the other side whose the rebels said

they'd stop all military operations including firing missiles on saudi arabia the government's major backa tentative steps from both sides. standing by yemen is not an option but a duty to support the yemeni people in confronting the aggression of the rainy and backed militias. that support the un's upas to end the war in yemen. the un is pushing for a cease fire around the key battleground of her data beyond that yemen needs a long term plan for peace after the last round of talks broke down that would be a major challenge. saudi arabia is coming under increasing international pressure

over the killing of dissident journalist jamal khashoggi germany has announced eighteen saudi citizens are to be banned from entering europe's freeze of shang and travel zone over their suspected involvement in the killing german foreign minister who said berlin issued the ban after consultation with france and the u.k. adding the are still more questions than answers about the case germany is calling for a transparent investigation into the murder of chris orgy a prominent critic of saudi arabia's ruling family. let's bring in our political correspondent kate brady kate what is germany hoping to achieve with this ban on saudi nationals well basically germany is looking for at the moment they're saying the investigations of just give a more provide more questions than answers and so it's simply just not satisfied with the results of these investigations and as we heard that from the foreign minister heikal mass general has said it still retains the right to then impose

even further measures so they scored just be the start of course germany has also now halted arms exports to saudia arabia as well so there could still be more measures to come until germany decides these suffice ok so germany has imposed this ban help me understand how it actually works i think there are eighteen saudi nationals who are associated with this case are banned from coming not only into germany but from the entire passport showing in zone in europe poses for exactly said there's twenty six member states in the shannon zone twenty two of those are also part of the european union and basically any of these twenty six states of which germany is one can unilaterally impose a ban on anyone that they consider to be a security risk because we had gone from heiko must the german foreign minister that he had been working closely with the u.k. and france france as well and now think about whether they're also going to impose sanctions similar sanctions as germany or is particularly unusual in this case is

that germany has imposed so many bans on so many people in one fell swoop and that is quite unusual particularly when it comes to a delicate cases such as this one that is germany making this announcement not any other showing in country friends i guess was participating but it effects them all . just one quick question how significant is this development for german saudi relations it is quite significant of course the domestic relations diplomatic relations between the two had radio only just go back off the ground again at the beginning of autumn of the beginning of september and they had been relations have been quite frosty for the best part of a year so this was very significant. for our political desk thank you so much. now to some other stories making headlines around the world today at least thirteen people being killed in south central vietnam after a tropical storm hit the resort of tongue city several houses were also destroyed

after torrential rain triggered landslides authorities have mobilized soldiers to search for several missing people. while the mall is ball kaino a fire has erupted forcing thousands of people living nearby to be evacuated from the area disaster coordinators have issued a red alert in june around two hundred people were killed when it erupted and covered entire villages in wa and rubble. the arrest of an iconic c.e.o. sent shock waves through the car industry that's right terry we're talking about a big player here the chairman of the alliance of nissan renault and mitsubishi motors carlos dolan has been arrested on suspicion for underreporting his income and engaging in what the company called other quote significant misconduct the sun c.e.o. said he had called a board meeting for thursday to approve goans dismissal as chairman of the company for allegedly understating his salary by forty four million dollars over five years

starting in twenty eleven he was seen as a star car manager credited with leading a dramatic turnaround over the last two decades. and he's in just a good car and was formally regarded as one of the most dazzling managers in the automotive business after all he has the partnership of graham no make that b.c. i'm missing under his belt but he's been under investigation for a month now the japanese carmaker has an internal investigation shows under reported his income for several years he's also said to have used company money privately. newfound c.e.o. who wrote a psychotic says the alleged violations involve millions of dollars going to continue because there are problems in terms of governance when the top of brando is concurrently serving as the top business on with forty three percent of the shares of one person who has too much authority that was the problem.

i think that was one of the polish as you know we mustn't the. board will vote on the proposal to dismiss go in on the thursday japanese media reports say he's cooperating with authorities and has already been questioned. going has been called the cost killer since his time at the top of ram no some credit him with bringing nissen's vehicles back on the road to success after years of massive losses. all right i'm now joined by steven beers leave from our digital business desk to find out more about this whole issue that is going on right now stephen our viewers might not know carlos go on but we just saw that the industry certainly does who is charles gold what can you tell us about right so carlos brazilian born lebanese parents sort of the world's a global figure five languages fluent also speaks in japanese very much sort of

a manager's manager someone who slash costs when they're there wants to care about the bottom line before everything and often angers unions and workers there were reports today that french unions were very happy to hear this news that they've cracked down because they long been critical of his cutting costs but of course he became known as low cost cuts or because in france especially has acted with renault with cutting costs there to make them profitable and with nissan is really his big success story that a turnaround where a company that was bleeding hemorrhaging money you know margins were incredibly small and he turned it around so they were making dynamic interesting vehicles but he's really also known for being an architect this alliance between right. no and nissan and bring it to a point that it could compete with big players like v.w. by pulling resources this past year they sold ten point six million vehicles second only to volkswagen and they've been ahead on things like electric vehicles for example so it is a big success story but we know that nobody's perfect and he certainly has been

controversial as well what are some of the issues that the company has faced during his time right i think you know most recently we've seen twenty seventeen they had an issue with some inspections that forced the recall of more than a million vehicles that was a black eye earlier this year they had an emissions scandal which is unfortunately not unusual amongst car companies there was another black eye lately there have been reports that some of the rivalries between sort of the nissan side of the renault side have really been flaring up again especially as the car industry moves toward the sort of more technologically digitalize future they're having a sort of share some of these resources are having to use similar platforms in r. and d. costs and that can lead to a little bit of tussling and then of course the big one is compensation this is where lately or in the past few years the news you know he's really been it's been a controversial figure with how much he's being compensated and what the board wants to approve we've talked about the past and the present let's look into the future certainly investors are not happy with what's going on are there problems ahead for neeson i think most people would say sure i mean everything was really

based on carlos gone i mean he is the key figure he has been called the glue that holds this alliance together and he even joked himself that when his time came to leave this was laid to be twenty twenty two not twenty eighteen that there are a lot of people worried about the future of the alliance that was a joke with a lot of fact in it actually because it's very difficult combining japanese side with the french side and taking all these interests you have to governments that are involved with this and of course mitsubishi a third company as well and so it makes all of these decisions very complicated and you need this individual in the middle he was that individual uncertain times ahead and he sent stephen beardsley following the story for us thank you very much. in france protests continue against the introduction of higher fuel prices supporters of the movement called yellow warning highways and traffic junctions they are mainly directed against higher taxes on diesel and petrol hundreds of people were injured in similar actions over the weekend fuelled by indignation these

protestors near dunkirk and northern france are among the hundreds of thousands of people who took to the streets to express their opposition to the government's fuel tax the so-called yellow vests actions stop traffic on major roads across the country. usually takes me twelve minutes to get to work i've been stuck here for two hours nothing is happening. so. i arrived here at three am and got stuck i can't move. we waiting to see where this goes nobody knows what's going to happen. the protesters are fed up with the tax hikes diesel the most commonly used fuel in french cars has risen by almost eight cents per. on the tax on petrol is up nearly four cents. on the body of a shark we're getting milk like times i'm tired of always coughing up a little i'm a father of two i have a family i'd like to give my kids

a good life and that can't be do with pay pay pay or. appearing on television at the weekend french prime minister iyad wofully defended the tax hikes maintaining that the revenue would help finance the transition to more renewable energy sources like solar panels and wind farms but the demonstrators don't appear willing to back down i their plans for a large scale protest in paris this weekend are already underway with the word being spread quickly on social media. of course will fall that story for you that's all for business it's back to terry now and the latest on the bricks that saga the saga continues have a very much so in britain as we all know prime minister theresa may is under pressure over bragg sit with opposition from her own conservative members of parliament intensifying may is urging her critics to put their differences aside saying the future of the nation is at stake she's been making the case for her breaks that deal to business leaders of the annual conference of the confederation

of british industry she told them that under the deal britain would regain control over the immigration of skilled work so once we've left the e.u. we will be fully in control of who comes here it will no longer be the case that a new nationals regardless of the skills or experience they have to offer can jump the queue ahead if engineers from sydney or software develop this from debbie instead of a system based on where a person is from we would have one that is built around the talents and skills a person has to offer. the u.k. correspondent spoke with c.b.i. director general carolyn turban and asked her how desperate the british industry is to get the break the deal through in brussels. well it is a momentous time in our country because we do now have a proposal on the table it is not perfect so for this for british business and i

think for business in europe as well we would have liked more certainty we would like more of a guarantee of frictionless trade in the future but we're in a world of compromise and we welcome the progress that has been made we must pull back from the cliff edge and for no deal and this proposal would enable us to do that so we think we should back progress and move on there seems to be quite a disconnect between business and then m.p.'s to just up the thames a lot of m.p.'s are plotting to bring to reason a down because they think it's not good enough these are very difficult times here in terms of politics in terms of the fee brand nature of decisions and there are some very big issues here around sovereignty around other things that people care very deeply about and we as business understand that but what we have to do is to think about jobs and prosperity across our country our manufacturing sectors are food retailing we need to talk about what matters for them and we are very clear

in our conversations with m.p.'s these are the decisions that will shape your region your part of the u.k. in the future make the right decision for the future of the people who work in your local region this is progress we should take it we should build on it and we should move on and would you advocate for a second referendum since you are so pro remaining in europe. we have to work with the cart in front of us at this as a business we have to be pragmatic we have to be realists and we have to recognise that this is where the negotiation has brought us so far we understand the views of those who are asking for a second referendum we do now know much more we know about the hard choices involved in it but the party way to that is very unclear is. very murky and the risk of tipping into an accidental no deal on the way is very high that makes us believe that this is the decision that we should be taking as

a country now to take this progress to unknot the transition period to work towards a good future deal and to move on and how bad would it be for british business if you didn't get a deal that's all we are absolutely categorical that a no deal for british business would be a very very bad outcome we have so many manufacturing businesses with supply chains that cross borders they work on just in time policies we have a northern ireland border which must remain frictionless that is not easy to achieve so from our point of view no deal would be a very bad outcome it would affect jobs and prosperity all across the country counted seven thank you very much. to the increasingly tense situation in the mexican town of tia juana that's on the border to the united states only three thousand migrants have arrived there in recent days thousands more said to be headed to tijuana a part of the migrant caravan that has made its way from central america. with the

u.s. busy fortifying its border it's not clear if or when the migrants full be able to proceed all to much for saw all of the city's residents. god what. we don't want to hear that's a message of around two hundred to one our residents purchasing their arrival of thousands of central american migrants the demonstration on the lines growing tension protests is accuse the migrants of forcing their way into mexico and being ungrateful for the help they're offered no get in most capable of yet we turn on our government to support this farce or. when we all know it's a sham. be it in africa that just bringing their problems here program i think. they hear it see you since the government is spending a lot of money on them already also there are many poor people here. the protests much talked at the city sports stadium which has been turned into

a makeshift shelter for the migrants the police barrack up the protesters out of the people inside were trapped in the stadium all day. and also not leaving the stadium because we don't want to instigate any violence we fled violence and don't want to cause more of it. local threw stones at the migrants twice last week the people who arrive for the car and a frightened. because. we are in great danger they come from areas of mexico that don't want to hear their disguises garbagemen they're armed and want to attack us. they hit a child on the head when they threw stones at us. i don't like. the flab of then a phobia and mexican towns along the migrant route is unprecedented the locals are angry because the city is ill equipped to deal with the influx of people who sleep

on the streets and rely on aid organizations for food. when someone is handing out chocolate everyone crowds around these people are desperate they've had a torturous journey and do it to survive there's no food in the shelters. but again going eyes went in there to get. you racially charged comments from local politicians have heightened tensions a prominent example is to. call the migrants lazy. the deputy of the state governor drove home as law and order message at the protest . with also receive utils at the government and society will welcome them and help them not only in keeping with the law residents here are very generous but they won't rules to be upheld a lot of the. vegas such rhetoric has done nothing to cool the hot heads on the

streets of to one. with more moments crowding into the city there's plenty of scope for the protests to grow. hong kong where the leaders of the two thousand and fourteen pro-democracy protests are facing trial if convicted they face up to seven years in prison activists gathered outside the court to show their support many carrying yellow umbrellas associated with the occupy central movement. four years ago tens of thousands took to the streets for nearly three months to protest against interference by china in hong kong's elections the trial is expected to last for about three weeks we met one of the defendants before it began . john king mon keeps running while he still has the chance he took up the sport when it became clear that he was due to stand trial the social professor and activist faces three counts of what authorities call inciting public nuisance

opinion as my priority nod to do on that i think it is important to cheer myself and my fellow support the up. why i guess this is the important thing a good spirits when we are facing the trial. he expects to be sentenced to seven years in jail john is considered one of the masterminds of the umbrella protests of twenty fourteen the umbrellas are a symbol for passive resistance to the hong kong police during a seventy nine day sit in demanding free or elections. however the protests failed since then the political sands have shifted in the city the government is now taking more action against unwelcome views human rights groups call it a campaign of intimidation by the chinese authorities. they're sending a clear signal that the. that the space for civil society

to raise sensitive questions about hong kong's future in hong kong is is. shrinking the public prosecutor's office refused to speak to dr bell about chance upcoming trial. john himself is pessimistic more protest events have been canceled and a foreign journalist has also been expelled i don't see any of this in the near future that we could get democracy this is a time to be friend to defend our existing freedom and our rights and we need to strengthen our civil society. john kidman expects to be convicted but for now he runs while he's still free. in tennis germany's alexander it's federer has stunned world number one know
