i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program. german prosecutors have raided the offices of the country's biggest lender deutsche bank as part of a probe into money laundering the investigation is based on revelations made in the twenty sixteen data leak known as the panama papers that leak suggested that deutsche bank staff helped criminals funnel money into offshore tax havens. as far as banking violations go it doesn't really get much more serious than this deutsche bank is accused of helping clients hide money earned from crime business mission of money laundering reportedly based on revelations in the two thousand and sixteen panama papers some one hundred seventy police officers descended on six of the banks premises in and around frankfurters the specific targets of their investigation not yet known these are the kinds of allegations that if true could mark the beginning of the end for deutsche bank demise some say has been a long time in coming. torture has posted three consecutive years of losses earlier

this year it as its british boss john cry and in favor of this modern insider christiane saving now it will be up to him to address accusations that deutsche it hasn't only been mismanaged but involved in far shady or potentially criminal business. a story that is still developing this hour let's get the very latest now gary hart all for us as well with us here in the studio only bartz has the latest from frankfurt there hard i'd like to begin with you put it into context for us because this is quite a big deal well big is putting it mildly it's big big big it's huge and we were talking about. this is not helping people sort of be clever where they put their money we're talking was money laundering this is serious accusation without a separate entity in the british virgin islands not really a place where you open a business to do completely harmless deals nine hundred customers

three hundred million euros i mean this really is substantial and if they if these allegations turn out to be true. this afternoon where investors in that city have been reacting really. yes they have made only reacted when the news first hit the share was gaining nicely until that point. and then it plunged into negative territory and now it's losing about three percent and that makes it the biggest loser of the day and while that sounds quite benign three percent well you can make it up another day perhaps it's not far from the all time low that was just reached on nov twentieth of eight euros five and so it's getting into park areas territory from the share price point of view the doctor bank itself is acknowledging the raid says it does pertain to the plan of the papers and promises full cooperation but of course investors are afraid that in the end there will be damage to the reputation and to the balance sheet in the form of us to find. investors in the meantime many

of them getting out there hard and in the face of that potential stiff fine tell us a little bit more about the consequences because you know if you've been following the headlines from deutsche bank you will very astutely observed this is not the first time that me and in the crosshairs of the ortiz lately it's definitely not the first time there's been lots and lots and lots of scandals it just doesn't doesn't seem to stop and yes we mentioned the shareholders are decidedly unhappy of course the show went down predictably of course but one wonders whether the reputational damage is not even greater if this really turns out to be true i mean who wants to do business with with crooks waiting to be perfectly honest who wants to go to a bank that is been convicted which they haven't yet i must say that but who wants to work with a bank who's actively engaged in money laundering and the consequence is that this has one must also lost the man at the top because jones even the c.e.o.

he only became c.e.o. in april this year ok so he was responsible for all everything that's sort of the legacy of george about and all that may be the late illegal legacy of george a bank but still he's been with a company in leading positions for many many years so i think it is ok to ask is he the right man to clean up the mess. but that view. bartz also with the view from frankfurt on the stock exchange thank you so much to both of you for your analysis of this breaking news this afternoon. well meantime now let's get some more news here from germany and the chancellor angela merkel has called for a diplomatic solution to the standoff between russia and ukraine the two countries have been at loggerheads since a naval clash excuse me over the crimean coast over the weekend russert president vladimir putin says that ukraine orchestrated the incident kiev says that it is a prelude to a russian invasion. putting on

a show of readiness ukrainian troops dig trenches near the russian border they have been put on alert as martial law comes into effect ukraine's president petro poroshenko visited a military training center urging his troops to get prepared for action even if the mine. will give them no chance to invade into ukraine. that's why today we are doing everything possible to provide extra financing of the armed forces. not to be outdone russia's defense ministry also released a video of training exercises in the south of the country. both sides are blaming each other for provoking sunday's naval clash in the carriage strait russian ships fired on and seized three ukrainian naval vessels capturing the crew. the ukrainian sailors have been charged with unlawfully entering russia and of being held pending trial western countries are calling for their release. the united

states' special envoy for ukraine told d.w. that further sanctions against russia are on the table and we've tried to ratchet up sanctions gradually in order to create pressure and to indicate that there is a way out that we would like to talk with russia generally ending the conflict with drawing its forces reestablishing security and getting them in scream it's important that they don't last we're still watching the u.s. president donald trump has threatened to cancel a planned meeting with russian president vladimir putin at this week's g. twenty summit but russia says the meeting will occur as it's too important for both sides let's get more now we are joined by correspondents from moscow and kiev yuri was shadow and david stern welcome to you both first david i'd like to begin with you you're standing by in ukraine we understand that there is now martial law there russian troops on the border new russian missile systems for crimea any idea of

where this is headed. good day sarah no idea where this is headed at the moment obviously as we heard from the reports both sides are sticking to their positions and it should be said that the diplomatic efforts are for the moment going nowhere at the same time it is a very worrying situation this is the first direct confrontation between russia and ukraine sense russia's annexation of the crimean peninsula remember that president vladimir putin admitted later that those were in fact russian troops in crimea and of course the two sides have been. have been in confrontation in eastern ukraine western journalists and independent groups have determined that the there are russian troops there but anything between actual russian and ukraine has not been hasn't happened since two thousand and fourteen so it's difficult to say how this is going to develop and obviously people here in ukraine are watching very closely they're quite worried and there's also talk of imposing new sanctions on russia now

fully implementing also the existing ones yuri how much could that hurt russia anough for it to make a difference in policy. i don't think sarah new sanctions would change the russian policy towards ukraine that much people in the country political elites the leadership in the kremlin are already used to sanctions on this point instead of that the new sanctions could probably bring russia further away from the peace process the peace agreement of minsk might be as good as dead and may never have been implemented but all sides emphasized repeatedly that there is no alternative to it however the source of the reason of all problems through mazes the russian annex a sion of crimea from ukraine twenty fourteen moscow has seen the peninsula as russian territory for more than four years now the ukrainians see the peninsula as ukrainian that's why a political settlement in a real dialogue between the two countries and perhaps between the two presidents is

more needed than any new sanctions at the meantime we have u.s. president donald trump saying in an interview let's get angola and evolve across referring there to the german chancellor angela merkel petro poroshenko also mentioning her as a possible mediator david what role could germany play in all of this. well it's difficult to say but obviously chancellor merkel does have. a longstanding relationships with both president bush and co and with president clinton much more the ukrainians that president karzai and the ukrainians say they trust or they trust they think that she understands the situation understands russia as well as russians actions but at the same time as i say the the the diplomatic. efforts are going nowhere and it is exactly what exactly germany could bring to the table saying that they have also been involved in the normandy for talks normandy for talks is it is difficult to say yuri how is all of this

playing domestically for president putin because we know that the russian president's approval ratings have slumped partially because of existing sanctions is this as coalition in the conflict with ukraine likely to help him get back support from the russian people what you know well in my opinion this story won't actually have a big effect of latin and putin's approval ratings either way either way of course the russian propaganda is trying to streams everything it can out of the incident for the domestic audience and of course the russians claim that the ukrainians provoked them this incident may send you wave of anti ukrainian sentiment throughout the country but on the whole sara russians are too busy dealing with their own everyday problems to care about ukraine and the euphoria over crimea is well and truly over ukraine has been portrayed as the enemy on state t.v. for too long people aren't really interested in the conflict anymore and putin

knows that too it's more important to him what the west thinks about the conflict now how the best tricks i think yarima shadow in moscow david stern n.k.f. thank you to both of you. and amid the escalating tensions between russia and ukraine a forum of ukrainian and german business leaders is taking place in berlin and speaking a short while ago ukraine's prime minister of a load of man said that he hopes the german companies would invested ukraine despite the conflict he thanked chancellor angela merkel for supporting the territorial integrity of ukraine merkel said that she would speak to russia's vladimir putin about the conflict at the g twenty summit later this week germany has been a key mediator between ukraine and russia. that's been our political correspondent and founder marcos standing by at the forum for us to fabia what else of the german and the ukrainian leaders have to say about the ongoing tension between russia and ukraine. well the prime minister to recall that the new russian

aggression that could happen anywhere and he also spoke about the need for the ukraine to protect its integrity defend its integrity but he also thanked chancellor back to for her stance for her clear position but and she didn't dream you the requests that we had of president poroshenko of german military or new sanctions. on the other hand she said that it's clearly an russian's responsibility to release the soldiers to make those ukrainian harbors accessible she also said that she will speak to russian president putin at the g twenty summit at the germany and france would remain willing to mediate between russia and the ukraine as they did in the normandy formant in the minsk process and also i'm glad that she didn't mention military or new sanctions but she defended the existing

sanctions and maybe we can just listen what she said there. the money and so we don't impose sanctions on russia for sanctions sake rather we impose sanctions to make clear that countries even if their territorial situation puts them close to russia have the right to their own development those are the principles of international law it's one and you know adding to that the german chancellor she has also said that she is committed to the north stream to pipeline in the baltic sea despite tensions in the region could this joint project with russia now become a problem for me. it is already a problem since the us is against many european countries are against it and of course also ukraine is strongly against it has to stop this project the ukraine is afraid that with this pipeline this bypass through the ballot exceeds ukraine could lose its status as an important transit state and could then be more valuable to

russia i'm glad america has said she tries everything that ukraine remains an important transit country and what was interesting she dropped the quite silent line where she said that germany could also use its energy ties with russia as a leverage against russia fascinating stuff and founded mark standing by there at the german ukrainian economic forum in berlin and. let's get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world south korea's top court has ordered a second japanese company to compensate individuals for colonial era forced labor the court ordered mississippi she heavy industries to pay up to the equivalent of one hundred seventeen million euros to twenty eight victims or their families tokyo has called the rolling totally unacceptable. u.n. secretary general antonio has called for rapid action on climate change and

with one other had been found guilty of murdering schoolboy last son toss they claimed the seventeen year old was a drug korea who fired at them while resisting arrest in twenty seventeen but this is c.t.v. footage showed the teenager being dragged by two offices just moments before he was shot in an alleyway in the philippines capital of manila. vicky ends family the guilty verdicts are a vindication. last illness airport i see i am very happy because this is the answer to proof that my son is innocent and has never been involved in drugs to everyone who helped us everyone whose names i can no longer list down thank you very much. he ends murder trigger threat protests filipinos took to the streets angry at the rising death toll.

police say they've killed almost five thousand people allegedly involved in the narcotics trade since twenty sixteen that was when the country's president rhodri go due to have today launched his war on drugs although he promised to pardon authorities involved in his crackdown even he refused to defend the police officers who killed key and. we are very hard people that this is still very third by judge office and this proves that those small applause who penned justice in the philippines. while the men will serve up to forty years in jail it's a life sentence for the teenager's parents all they can hope for is that these convictions will force the police to think before they kill.

a big match up in champions league football last night and superstar player neymar again proving his prowess in both scoring goals and acting a lot of talking from our sports department is here to walk us through all of that so first you have to tell us about the goals of the outcome of that important match between parsons your man and live before it was a deserve to won when. they dominated midfield they played aggressively they played with tempore quander not the defender he broke the deadlock early in the thirteenth minute but more importantly the p.s.g. big players stepped up to the plate so this guy right here neymar who made it to. well that's one or not of course what the first goal and then neymar one of the most expensive player in the world he made it two nil as for liverpool james milner point one back before the first half from a spot kick but the inner site that's the honest honest they only had one shot on target for the entire match and that too from the pennant penalty that we just saw is so that's what except about especially when you have players like more you have

for me nor and now liverpool find themselves on the brink of elimination and how about the acting because i mean this is exactly perhaps the. liverpool coach ewen club cuse p.s.g. of diving and of feigning injury and for making his team look like a bunch of butchers and he singled out one player in particular let's take a listen. do not be look like butros when you look back you look. at the yellow cards we had. drawn it was clever of of peers you name out of all these especially in bruges but a lot of other players went on like it was really something serious. though harsh words but cup was not the only one to take a shot at neymar he was the butt of many many jokes on social media let's take a look there's one that's referencing even actor luminato di caprio who happened to

be at the game last night but somebody tweeted about that and said that but he was not the best actor in the stadium out and that has got to hurt that's quite an insult there it is thoughts and. yeah that's actually we have to say the scoreboard there. to tell you that i mean it was it was a huge match for p.s.g. but they haven't even racked up a spot in the final sixteen yet they have been here exactly as you can see there what happened is group c. will be decided on the last day that's because napoli beat red star belgrade but good news for some of the other teams let it cool madrid did advance ok i think that's actually the wrong results table that's one from yesterday but that's ok i'm just going to read to you the results from wednesday event madrid through dortmund also made it through despite the draw shot the last but still advanced one are already through but they still ended up topping the group and tottenham's champions

league dreams are still alive after beating into milan so it's going to be a very very interesting final leg in the group stages as a lot of actually. did obvious for its is a match. well now bangladesh is about to kick out safety inspectors front and after the run a plaza tragedy in april of two thousand and thirteen when more than eight thousand textile workers died in a factory collapse the tragedy shown a spotlight on the working conditions in this workshops of the bangladeshi garment industry the heart of hers has more on that story. actually yes. worsening conditions for garment workers many or more the parser of international safety inspectors from bangladesh would mean just that. the country's high court is

objecting them amid a bid from the one goodish a government for more control over the inspections the international scene of the regime was put in place after one of the deadliest manufacturing accidents in history. over a thousand textile workers lost their lives on the run the plaza complex on the outskirts of the collapse in two thousand and thirteen. labor unions have called it a quote mass industrial homicide. inspectors were brought in to oversee safety improvements in more than twenty three hundred of bangladesh's garment factories many of them are suppliers of close for big global brands like h. and m. and prime mark. since then the teams of help identifying fix over one hundred thousand safety issues in the past five years. studies show that in the same period yes across the sector have fallen from seventy one annually to just seventeen but

the bangladeshi government will take over the monitoring is a cause for worry for many experts they say it's far from prepared to do so few k. leaving the european union with no deal would have devastating consequences for the british economy that's the consensus of both a government report and an analysis by the bank of england in any case britain would be poorer outside the bloc both reports suggest this orderly divorce would multiply the negative impact in two weeks from now british m.p.'s are set to vote on terrorism is. hard line breaks it would call it scaremongering but the bank of england says the figure is. by the end of twenty twenty three g.d.p. is more than ten percent lower in the disorderly scenario compared to that may twenty sixteen trend. the bank also said if the island nation has to leave the e.u. in a haulage breck's it the pound could plummet twenty five percent against other major

currencies that's a worst case scenario it says but possible have the country doesn't agree to a deal even so it's still far from clear that to reason may we'll be able to push our agreement with the e.u. through a combative british parliament although she's doing all she can to give things a positive spin on what we see behind the analysis that we have published today and indeed the chancellor recognise this morning is that our deal is the best deal available for jobs and our economy which allows us to all of the referendum and realise the opportunities of breaks in. the analysis carried out by the government also shows britain's economy will suffer even if the deal goes through so the big question is just how bad will the damage be if the deal is passed says the study the economic consequences will be much less drastic shortly before the vote on december the eleventh breaks it remains as contentious as ever. and here's
