to reach them that nobody else has. the war on my phone our two part documentary starts december eighth on t.w. . this is news coming to you live from berlin and russia shrugs off international pressure over its flare up with ukraine a court detains a ukrainian citizens captured in medieval skirmish at the weekend moscow also insists the clash in the water is up and it's crimean peninsula was orchestrated by kiev or succumbing up to letting the tide australia's struggling great barrier

reef scientists use bits from the elton section of the corridor to receive those portions hit hard by climate change. and defending an experimental critics are calling indefensible a chinese researcher towns of genetics conference why he edited the genes of the twin baby. i'm on the thought she most school has strong suggestions by european officials that it could face fresh sanctions over the crimean crisis that tensions escalated between moscow and kiev after russia seized three ukrainian naval vessels in a skirmish on sunday at least a dozen seat as have been detained for trial ukraine's president has warned its naval its preparing for war and has requested billions help. speaking on

ukrainian state television president petro poroshenko said he turned to berlin after the kremlin failed to respond to his request for dialogue it was. immediately that night i ordered a phone conversation with the president of russia vladimir putin. we did not receive any response and i had to turn to the german chancellor so that she could talk to put on the immediate release of ukrainian servicemen and ukrainian ships. poroshenko also said the authorities would take all necessary steps to release the ukrainian sailors detained on sunday when russia ceased three vessels off the crimean coast captured sailors appeared in a russian court and were charged with unlawfully entering the country carrying weapons they face up to six years in prison. earlier other

sailors were shown on russian television saying they had deliberately entered russian waters as a provocation kiev denounced what it described as forced confessions moscow accuses kiev of sparking the sea skirmish to boost support ahead of an election. most probably this provocation took place in order to achieve certain political decisions which are beneficial for the current president of ukraine. if. ukraine accuses russia of illegally capturing its ships and sailors off the coast of crimea president petro poroshenko now claims moscow is preparing for an invasion together with the country's parliament he has imposed martial law in the regions bordering russia for thirty days. fundamentally the whole martial law is. getting the resources together. and for

everybody here in ukraine to understand he's our hero place whence the russians come for us president poroshenko insisted the meshes won't interfere with elections old for march but his decrees causing concern and confusion in the capital kiev for ukrainians it's unclear what changes martial law will bring offer a four year standoff with russia peace seems the distance outcome. and he have a correspondent nick connelly joins us now from the ukrainian capital kiev they don't have a pulse or russia's deploying new surface to air missiles to the crimean peninsula and ukraine's president reportedly said this a russian troop buildup at the border what are you hearing there good morning amritsar well yes though that information about russia deploying. ground to air missiles crimea that is official we've heard that from several sources in russia today in terms of intelligence provided by petro poroshenko

yesterday the that was intelligence information satellite images that he showed ukrainian journalists purporting to show russian tanks massing along ukraine's borders office that's very hard to verify independently but this is definitely worrying we've seen in the past during exercise this kind of thing but given the confrontation we've had in the strait of courage is really the first time that russia and ukraine have faced off against each other directly the conflict that's been going for the last four years is by proxy that's ukraine against russian backed separatists nice the country but this is really the first time that the professional military supposed countries seem to be standing and standing off against each other in such a direct way and we're hearing that moscow's concerns lie over a planned a ukrainian naval base which is being built in the area which moscow feels good threaten its geostrategic interests and russia's holding seven ukrainian citizens refusing to let them go is it normal to happen to them.

in terms of the fate of the ukrainian sailors they were yesterday most of them given two month sentences for illegally crossing russia's borders. having said that i think you know the legal detail is less important if we get some kind of resolution to this we might see them out through some kind of humanitarian deal equally if the political situation continues to worsen and they may spend a lot longer in detention in terms of those plans by ukraine to up its defenses its naval defenses on the sea of as of i think it's still very unlikely that ukraine in the near future will in any way be able to challenge russia has been talk from some russian sources about fears that ukraine's might bring nato forces there but there's no real clear perspective of nato offering ukraine any further guarantees so this all does seem fairly farfetched for now and what about the diplomatic front nick what's being done there do on both sides from the brink and result this crisis

well it's difficult we heard yesterday from petro poroshenko that over the weekend he tried to call the kremlin to speak to vladimir putin about this and his calls were declined he then went to chancellor merkel of germany who was able to reach him and putin yesterday we heard from moscow that they were rejecting official offers from france and germany to mediate but it's clear the bilateral solution isn't anywhere nearby they're not talking to each other they're not picking up the phone so if this is a formal mediation or more informal behind the scenes support this is not going away without the international community right and the economy in kiev thank you very much. look at some other stories making news around the world indonesian investigators say a line and plane that crashed last month suffered technical problems a day before the accident and should have been grounded all one hundred eighty nine

have died. scientists blame rising sea temperatures linked to climate change in a process known as coral bleaching or big now there is hope of regeneration thanks to the annual coral spawning season a strong sporting season by screens the reef is alive number one you can spawn you can reproduce no one has six when they did it so this is this is a clear indication that boromir two in the ecological crisis and functions that keep the system working off functioning well. research is planned to grow coral larvae from the harvested eggs and return them to parts of the reef it's hopes this receding project will reverse the bleaching trend which was particularly bad in twenty sixteen and seventeen. this is a clear indication that it's not too late for the reef and the reef itself is

actually doing its job and is doing it well we've just got to be there to help and might shore nothing else happens to it. but even if successful scientists admit it will just by time they're adamant that action to reverse climate change is the only way to save coral reefs for the future. a conference focus on islamic integration is underway here in berlin it's called simply the german islam conference and it's the fourth of its kind since two thousand and six interior minister foresee her for is the official host this series extended invitations to liberal theologians and scientists after previous on this face criticism for promoting a too conservative form of islam some four and a half million people in germany are muslim in this report we hear from one young woman hoping to liberalize the faith. understanding how muslims are perceived in

germany is the mission for. an author and the daughter of mara can immigrants she was born and raised in germany she comes from a conservative religious home sundays were devoted to learning verses from the koran by heart but at the same time she managed to follow her own interests. when i would have it was a huge deal for my mother that i should be independent there was nothing off limits no sense that you can't do this or that just because you're a girl. with fewer restrictions on what she could do and must have had an easier upbringing than many young muslims in germany now thirty seven she writes books portraying the complex city of muslim life and is keen to dispel stereotypes she says all too often women are depicted as victims and men are unable to show any sign of anxiety or insecurity. and must i believe both muslims and non muslims need

to abandon such oversimplified views. it is much much. on the one hand some muslims have a romanticized image of other muslims and ignore anything problematic within their own community all they set themselves against mainstream non muslim society on the other hand you have those who are panicking the islam has almost completely taken over. for many muslims their big turbos surrounding religion family and sexuality but instead of breaking down these barriers and nasa says some muslim groups reinforce them she's critical of the german islam conference for including in her view to many conservative groups. denies. this most muslim groups don't believe in equality they are highly patriarchal some are actually reactionary and they're certainly not interested in islam becoming

more liberal or in advancing gender equality justice lest i get a pattern or for a walk in and must rest opinion that's exactly what german islam requires emancipated muslims who are not held back by tradition or the dictates of religion living freely and enjoying equal rights seen a better mousetrap chats with young women in their peril in a cafe they too want to see an open minded islam. you're watching the news coming up ahead how prepared are you kids banks for a potential heartbreaks in the bank of england knows but it's not telling get. it first and scientists who claims he created the ones first genetically edited babies says a second pregnancy with a gene and it's an embryo may be on the way he is young we was speaking of the genetics conference in hong kong his first public appearance since his

controversial an unverified research if the headlines earlier this week he can see what did the d.n.a. have twin girls to prevent them from contracting hiv now despite sparking outrage ian says his motivation was actually a stick. for those people to beat out i said these people they need help. the millions of families with this disease and inherited disease or infectious disease we should show compassion to them. if we have the technology we can make it available. that would be helpful for more people if we did. when talking about the future. first that it's transparent open and that we share the knowledge i keep related with society with the world and let society just side what's the next step. joining me now for more

is our bridge from the science department welcome what do you make of what the chinese scientists have to say because many people believe that in fact there are more questions than answers after they heard him speak at this biomedical conference in hong kong that's true we didn't learn much indeed of what he was saying and many important questions were remain unanswered for example who paid for his work and if did the families really know the consequences and the problematics which go with this new technology which we which the scientific community itself didn't fully understand so far they haven't been any scientific article or publication and the journal of our face so far so we don't really know which methods are used which ways he went and if his claims actually true. in that this is a lot of very fight as you said but despite all the criticism he himself is undeterred and in fact he's very proud of his achievements in fact advantages from the kind of

experiment that he carried out because he says his motivation was not greed but al christic to help people had these babies from contracting h i.v. that's true but the scientific community doesn't really buy that they don't see much to be proud of and they're solving they say that first of all there hasn't been really a medical necessity to do those tests the babies seem to be fully healthy and fine also they say was responsible the only advantage i can see so far is that the problematic of she no editing in humans really became visible through this and now the society can or has the opportunity to to do this discussion and to talk about how far we want to go to how we can go with genome editing because one thing is clear which case that if you would have done it someone else would probably have but if this experiment is a success and these babies are then kind of immune from contracting each hiv which

was the aim of this experiment could these babies face other consequences as a result of this gene editing they most probably could as the technology which is called chris because nine is relatively new so far we haven't really got into depth and research about the consequences and problematics which can come with this genome modifications and there are scientists that say that if you ultra one part of the d.n.a. then it can lead to changes in other parts of the d.n.a. which haven't which hasn't been where in targeted in the first place so it could lead to genome defects to other illnesses and maybe we could even harrod those problems then to further generations down the line so it's not really clear what the consequences are that this would kind of tamper with the whole human gene system the gene pool thank you very much for your insights on this controversial development an issue thanks. turning out a sport and by munich secure

a better place in the last sixteen of the champions league with a game to spare after a dominant display against the portuguese side been feet how often are into the match behind what we're ready to name up thanks to a double from a robin that set the tone robert eleven dogs he struck twice to make it four one is so enough to half time and then when the fact that he betty john did out the easy win when he added a fifth with fourteen minutes left easing the pressure on coach it's. more chimed in the action coming on tonight that binds grid drivers but also adult one facing the belgian side club of blues in their own backyard the bundesliga leaders have been dominant at home this season and remain undefeated the only need a draw to advance to the knockout stages but given their recent run of success dortmund we certainly be gunning for victory. armed and dangerous it's the only

way to describe the current form of the black and yellow their last match at home was a truly confident victory over the league's defending champions byron munich dortmund currently top the but is the good table with a four point cushion in the champions league a fiver and company are in pole position to win their group with a victory over their opponents way west club despite being back at home against a side that has never won in germany means coach isn't taking them lightly. in this we need a very good performance. the. way remember the first leg was very difficult for us and some decent munch of the situation are good drew one all at home against monaco and one for nearly in monaco month that explains everything and so we have to have a very good performance tonight. so far bruce your dog men have blazed the pits in

their home matches in the champions league group stage scoring seven goals and conceding none and no team in the competition has had more different goals scores this season we were much talk about breaks it this week how bad the u.k. is bang through potential high on breaks that get hot is here with the latest us we should know by now but as the financial world waits for the delayed results of the bank of england's brags it stress tests the british government has just come out with a stock warning of its own just moments ago it said the economy would shrink by almost eight percent over fifteen years in the case of a no deal exit from the e.u. that only adds to the anticipation for the bank of england's four costs for the same scenario analysts there are seeking to answer the following questions first how would banks cope if real estate prices plummeted potentially losing up to

a third of the value of the housing market is important for britain next and connected to the housing market market what if interest rates rose dramatically say from the current moderate zero point seven five percent to four percent and finally what would happen to jobs according to some existing estimates and no deal heartbreaks it could see almost one in every ten brits out of work. originally the bank of england had planned to release the stress test result this morning but publication was pushed back to the afternoon this is sign of discord on how to communicate the results i asked hospital book of professor of banking of the whole universe did stuart got who he was he reads into this delay. like a row everybody else i can only guess and everybody's nervous because we think if you ask yourself what's behind it but the truth is i don't think they have some last minute calculation to make i think they're just asking for some self how to

sell it and the problem is i think the real risk of the bracks it isn't yet and the british banks had very good times so there shouldn't be any storage on their sites it could present is the result is no sorrow no trouble even if you've got a heart but on the other hand i think i want to be loyal to tory as i may and what she needs now is support and the one hand it would be nice to say well ok this is not a real problem british banks are well off so it's good for the economy on the other hand she needs pressure pressure to persuade people to agree to her deal with european union and that's act or situation she gets more pressure if the bank of england makes people aware of the risk of a harper exit and so i think this is what what is debated at the moment the bank of england you know let's see where the pressure will come from the remark and the chief of the bank of england today what will the short term consequences consequences be if the pressure comes if it takes a negative view on the brakes it situation no matter how hard or soft. well that's

interesting aspect on the one hand i mean it's cheap talk there has been a stress test of the e.c.b. a few weeks ago where the british banks passed nicely and everybody knows it's not so bad but the bank of england wouldn't be credible if it would allow after such a negative verdict that british banks pay high dividends or have big. purchase programs where they give money back to their shareholders so they couldn't allow that and that's bad for so shareholders are held are very nervous in this respect and that's why british shares bank shares will react very much to that. so what will be in store for british banks then is if this deal goes through parliament is mostly. it's still not positive i mean there's still a break between the european market and united kingdom we lose in europe we lose the access to the biggest financial market of the globe and the biggest financial model on the globe your lose importance so both sides it's a classic lose lose situation as in many cases the break said so we can be very

friendly loken even at a deal as it is at the moment. for the vocal thank you very much for this analysis the pleasure. donald trump is ramping up the pressure on america american automotive giant general motors after g.m. announced plans to axe some fourteen thousand u.s. jobs trump took to twitter to threaten to cut government aid for the comic meanwhile g.m. is sticking to its guns saying the cuts are necessary to ensure the company's long term growth. factories like this one in lordstown ohio were part of donald trump's plan to revive america's rusting industrial base. but now it and four other factories general motors plans to shutter won't be making anyone great again. since the announcement trump hasn't minced words when it came to g.m. taking to twitter he threatened to cut government subsidies for g.m. including support for their electric car program. and g.m.
