a government jet was forced to learn shortly into the flight when the electronic systems malfunction knuckle switch planes in cologne before continuing her journey . moralists let's bring in our political correspondent kate brady kate michaels arrival arias has been delayed because her plane suffer technical problems so what exactly happened. well terry the german government's conrad. only been in the air an hour late last night before it began to circle over the netherlands before turning around and making a rather unscheduled landing at cologne at ports and what we've since heard is what we've actually heard even from say a self saying that there was a serious malfunction on the plane and we've heard from several german media outlets this morning that it was in fact the radio system which had suffered

problems and caused that landing but the pilot has said that there were no safety risks on the flight as a serious malfunction that doesn't sound good if the americans plane can't fly how is the chance with the rest of her delegation getting to argentina well we've heard from delegation sources this morning that having had to spend the night in born last night both merkel and the german finance minister scholtz will be taking a german government flight to madrid this morning and they will then continue in the second leg of the flight on a commercial flight so they are still expected to make it to the g. twenty summit albeit as rather delayed ok what does this say about the state of readiness of germany's military when they can't be relied upon to transport the head of government to a major international a bit. well this is terry i'm via the hefty embarrassment for the german government

and it's no secret here in germany either that when it comes to defense there are huge shortcomings of been several reports in recent he is about the lack of equipment all the lack of functioning equipment when it comes to the german military and it's not the first time that the government. has also been causing problems during flights just earlier this year frank the german president his flight was briefly grounded during a trip to bellaver is to say this delay because of this plane clearly isn't a one off just for the german chancellor. ok thank you so much for the political correspondent kate brady there well when chancellor merkel finally makes it to argentina and she's set to meet the russia meet russia's vladimir putin as she seeks a diplomatic solution between moscow and kiev before leaving for the summit back

will hosted ukraine's prime minister in berlin he urged europe to impose harsher sanctions on russia over last weekend's naval clash off crimea. a warning for europe ukraine's prime minister visits berlin calling for support in the escalating conflict with russia his country wants nato to send ships to the seat of our resolve to provide security. they should bill as the should the recent russian aggression in the sea of as of could happen anywhere in the world should realize this it also affects europe. but german chancellor angela merkel has rebuffed the request for military support saying words not weapons are needed and the untaught simply bitter despite the current situation we ask you claim to be smart because we can only resolve this in talks with one another because there is no military solution to all of these conflicts this kind of military listen to his own ideas also know that some good merkel has blamed russia for sparking the conflict which

began on sunday in the curch straight between russia and the annexed crimea peninsula russian forces attacked and seize three ukrainian vessels and their crew and is prosecuting the sailors for violating its borders the ukrainian intelligence agency now says it has recordings that show a russian fighter jets and helicopters fired on the vessels during the clash at sea . in the port city of mariupol close to the border ukrainians are unsure what the recent imposition of martial law will bring. that were carrying on martial law hasn't brought any particularly harsh restrictions with it. of course there's a risk of more conflict with russia we've been at war with them for four years already especially now after what they did to our ships. just. ashen listening in the movie if you look at martial law change in my life if anything if this is my fifth year as

a refugee. i left everything in dock yes can came here martial law isn't going to help me which is. nearby the saber rattling continues with russia parading its missiles in crimea and ukraine showing off its defenses. but neither side shows any sign of retreating from afar it's. so tension between ukraine and russia how is it affecting the lives of people living near the front lines so to speak a reporter emily sure one traveled through the russian city of tal all the curch straits for that naval clash took place on sunday and were a new bridge links the russian mainland to the crimean peninsula. it's business as usual for stupina she's been a taxi driver for two years in the town of tamanna on the azoff see the population

here is around ten thousand and many of them know ludmilla live mila herself moved here from the year olds recently but tells me most people here have relatives across the scene ukraine she says people usually don't want to talk about politics in her taxi even when it's happening right on their doorstep. people on panicking they try not to talk about the conflict. it's so close it's wearing but i'm sure nothing will happen. at the local market people admit they're shaken by the recent clash in the nearby see. someone. who will be the first affected it's all right it's scary. it's not scary i don't think anything will happen thank. the ukrainians where we used to live to have us so well. i used to go to ukraine to keep if we were like relatives

. it's not for us regular people to decide the politicians up there was sorted out it's an unpleasant situation i just want peace and not this. time on is at the foot of the crimean bridge. tensions have been building here in the as of sea for months especially since the bridge was opened in may luke milam moved to tom and to be near the sea she says she sometimes comes here for a break from taxi driving even in the winter the fifty four year old says her relatives and children back in year are worried about her but she's optimistic about the future of the azoff see. to see calms me down and sometimes when i want to answer to a question i ask listen and if the next wave is big that means the answer is yes. i am very hopeful that our government will figure out everything that everything

will be fine. and we with all the notions. of what to do media. it seems to be stormy everywhere it might be apropos for ludmilla to now ask the as whether this stormy political situation will eventually calm down. well the us too is concerned about the escalation of tensions between russia and ukraine the white house has announced it's canceling a planned meeting between donald trump and russia's president vladimir putin at the g. twenty summit the announcement came shortly after trump's former lawyer michael cohen pled guilty to lying to congress about the true extent of trump's business dealings in russia. collusion is the word on many democrats lips president donald trump's opponents are hoping to prove that he worked illegally with the russian government to help secure his win in the two thousand and sixteen election. now trump's former lawyer and fixer has made that conclusion appear more likely. once

trump's close confidant michael cohen now appears to be fully cooperating with a federal investigation into russian election interference. and the president isn't happy with what he's trying to do because he's a weak first not a very smart person what he's trying to do is end it has it's very simple he's got himself a big prison says he's trying to get a much lesser prison sentence by making up a story only federal prosecutors know the extent of what the investigation has uncovered so far. but there is much talk in washington that special counsel robert muller is zero in on trump himself. does this bring it closer to the president really well yeah it's certainly does because of cohen's relationship with the president but exactly what the lies were and you know that i guess that will that will come out when the plea is made so but it it definitely feels like there's an

accelerating pace as a result of the recent u.s. elections democrats will reclaim the house of representatives in january. and with their new stature they will have the power to launch their own investigations. for trump this could spell political agony. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today congo's health ministry says the current health break in the east of the country is now the second biggest in history with more than four hundred confirmed probable cases efforts to curb the epidemic are being hampered by a surge of violence in the area. the world health organization has warned of a resurgence of measles worldwide the number of infections jumped more than thirty percent last year compared to twenty sixteen who w.h.o. recorded increases in almost every part of the world including the wealthy

countries such as germany for vaccination coverage has historically been time. and place in hong kong say five people have been killed and more than thirty injured in a bus crash on the main road to the airport bus was ferrying from the cathay pacific airline to work when it allowed into a broken down times. in mexico the mayor of tia juana has called the plight of migrant stranded in his city an unprecedented humanitarian crisis the town on the u.s. mexican border is dealing with an influx of around seven thousand central americans who are trying to reach the u.s. to apply for asylum it only has shelter for a third of that number leading to squalid conditions for migrants who have. thousands of kilometers in search of a new life. the most unique thing about one us biggest shelter for the so called caravan migrants is that it provides hardly any shelter at all at least not

from the elements not from the rain and not from the cold during freezing nights during their designated by city officials to hold a maximum of just two thousand five hundred people this place now houses more than six thousand migrants and in a few days that number will rise to seven thousand including more than one thousand babies toddlers and young children. we need cindy printer and we talked to her about a week ago she had just arrived with two more for four sisters and without her father the family had gotten separated on their journey to tijuana now they are reunited but conditions here after magically deteriorate it all is still better money we're in really bad shape as you can see everything is what we are tired we couldn't get any sleep last night it's hard when the babies are all wet it's getting worse for us with no real place to stay this tent is not even mine. the

noise near the city of tijuana some state agencies and an increasing number of n.g.o.s are doing what they can to cope with the situation infection and diseases are on the rise headlights are a problem overall hygiene is a major concern to us mayor says he's battling what he calls an unprecedented humanitarian crisis in his town with almost no help from the central government in mexico city its people we're dealing with it's integrity dignity they need a place to sit they need a place to sleep they need to please a dignified place not us we are working with them right now what would happen if someone would start a riot down there. who's going to be responsible mexico city has finally sent more federal police and some military to juana but that doesn't solve the city's financial problems as it spends almost thirty thousand dollars a day on its migrant crisis of fortune for the border town if you know someone who

could help us out. we have amir. greet them really. to quanah how they want it. here in berlin germany's parliament has backed the united nations by gratian pact but the lawmakers made it clear that the agreement is not binding and so may not actually be put into effect in germany designed to promote safe and regular migration the pact marks the first time the un has created global objectives to tackle the challenges surrounding migration but all countries support the deal and neither to all members of the bones top. disease migrants have made it to dry land in monaco and this year spain has received more arrivals than any other e.u. country. only a small percentage end up in germany but the un migration pact has prompted

a heated debate in the bundestag in berlin german foreign minister us went on the offensive accusing those against the pact of distorting facts he says it isn't true that countries would lose their ability to decide who is allowed in or that it would lead to a mass unregulated influx of people to be mentioned is what he says quite plainly in the preamble to the pax the national sovereign rights and not. being transferred . those in favor of the pact see it as an answer by the international community to an issue that cannot be solved by countries working alone the far right alternative for germany don't agree get the oath so the act propagates unconditional migration is nothing more than an irresponsible invitation for global migration to germany without limits stance the other parties reject. a f.t.s.

latest lie as that we intend to increase migration but the text says explicitly it should be reduced people should return home to build their lives whenever possible . thank you and they should show their real ugly face they should dare to stand here and clearly say that they believe migrant should not have human rights. in a boost for the governing coalition a clear majority voted in favor of the pact but the bundestag declared that it contains no one for civil rights or obligations and would have no legal effect in other words germany won't be obliged to do anything about migration. some football now and get this the final of south america's champions league competition will now be taped will now be played in spain the second leg of the copa libertadores between two one it's arias clubs has been postponed twice because

by lance last weekend fans of river plate pelted the team bus of cross-town rival boca juniors breaking windows and injuring some players who were also affected by tear gas fired to disperse the crowd cup organizers say they chose madrid in part because that city has the largest population of argentinians outside of argentina. in while one of the bonus league has surprised teams this season frankfurt have pushed through to the knockout stages of the league tournaments they beat one of the last one of last season's finalists only big marsay last night for a nail to win their group also later cruz and drew one all at home with all gary inside middle gretz thanks to a game tying goal in the eighty fifth minute later cruisin still lead their group and leipsic lost one nil away their austrian sister clubs also for life they hold only a faint chance of advancing. now two adrenaline junkies have become the

first people ever to a cliff dive at the remote marble cathedral cave system in southern chile the two turned the remote natural wonder into a stunning stage set for their aerial acrobat it's. the general caribbean lake in chile in patagonia. ways there must be to enjoy this magnificent mountain landscape one has never been done before. had never been done before. the show was of south america's second largest freshwater lake on long island with features like the famous marble cathedral cave system that seemed to make it ideal cliff diving territory but australian rianna if land and mexican jonathan parade is became the first to take the plunge when they put this breathtaking unspoiled splendor to use as

a backdrop for their extreme sports because she runs the glacial water around the caves at this isolated natural treasure is almost the minutes and thanks to the play of light on the marble the cliff divers are sponsored by energy drinks company . if lands recently one hundred thirty cliff diving world series title for her and for parade days this was the final dive of the year. or to get out now and more on the g. twenty is hopes for averting a global trade war there is of course the on the agenda world leaders gathering in will be discussing a whole host of issues at the g. twenty among them is of course the financial system and trade policy but also climate change women's rights education terrorism and of course also migration. but trades will be on top of the agenda therefore one of the most

closely watched meetings will be with between us president donald trump and his chinese counterpart dejan ping the two countries are still locked in a trade dispute that is showing little signs of resolution and continues to stem markets around the world the united states so far as impose tariffs on two hundred fifty billion dollars worth of chinese imports and as threatened more china in turn has a slap tariffs on one hundred and ten billion dollars worth of american made products the spat has had an impact on trade around the world but especially small businesses in china are feeling the impact. when i mean when tone cheeping talks with potential customers he avoids discussing china's trade issues with the u.s. most of his clients he says just want to buy a luxury vehicle for the best possible price until now about a third of his sales came from american brands but since the introduction of

tariffs no one wants to buy them anymore. that will give a total of i don't think it was very wise of trying to start a trade war. either we all lose then china is a huge market and now he's losing that huge market for. cars like this dodge ram now cost around six thousand euros more due to a ten percent tariff on vehicles imported from the us. like others tongue shipping has been caught up in the trade war set in motion by u.s. president donald trump and countered by chinese premier jiaxuan ping. more than just the movement of goods is at stake it's about influence power and world leadership in the future. john you know june founded a p.r. agency in beijing her husband jeremiah is an american the two have been married for eleven years. little has changed for them since the trade war began and the only

thing they've noticed is that apples in the supermarket that used to come from the u.s. now come from canada even though it doesn't have it but both are worried about the heated conflict right between the two countries of course because people talk about another cold war or is that the case yes. it does concern me in to a certain extent because you know as the top leader after united states seeing something so strong i think that must mean something it seems to be kind of a strategic competitor or you know possibly even something more in the world today and i think a lot of americans have a hard time kind of putting that in any kind of you know framework the trade war is affecting china its economy is slowing and beijing hopes its punitive tariffs will have the same effect on export industries in the u.s.

the rivalry between the two nations will now set the tone at the g twenty summit. germany's biggest lender is in trouble again after allegations of money laundering to the tune of three hundred million euros emerged on the banks share price dropped more than three percent off the news broke that police have conducted raids on its offices some one hundred seventy offices searched for evidence supporting our kids ations the bank help clients set up offshore fund support money linked prime locations were late for mission contained in the huge data only known as the number of papers in this sense focusing on the period beginning in twenty thirteen and current c.e.o. christiane's even added the group's order to depart. german chemicals and pharmaceuticals make a buyer said thursday it would slash twelve thousand jobs in a major restructuring following the takeover of monsanto enabling it to save two

point six billion euros per year from twenty twenty two onwards it says a significant number of those cuts will be in germany. buyer one of germany's oldest jacks companies wants to make itself leaner and meaner by increasing efficiency productivity and profitability by instead of playing to concentrate resources on its core businesses of pharmaceuticals consumer health and crop science it faced setbacks since it bought u.s. crop sciences giant months and two in june this year for sixty three billion euros one of germany's biggest ever corporate takeovers but two months later a us court ruling ordered buyer to pay multi-million dollar damages to a cancer sufferer. the judge ruled that its newly acquired subsidiary should have warned users about the cancer risks from its roundup herbicide the company's shares have been under pressure since then losing thirty six percent since the beginning of the year so investors are still nervous and something like this makes them more nervous it's a little bit of a surprise if you're

a long time stock market observer often a job cuts lead to higher prices because people think yeah those are necessary measures painful for everyone involved but necessary to increase profitability here they seem to be a reminder of how many risks and challenges a buyer has there at least as cliff as that damage claims buyer will be cashing in on synergies with monsanto so it's crap science division will be among the hardest hit with forty one hundred job cuts the company said it expected to complete the job cutbacks by the end of twenty twenty one. and that's all your business here's a reminder of the top stories we're following. well leaders have arrived in argentina for the start of the g. twenty summit straight tensions especially between china and the u.s. expects to dominate the news germany's chancellor angela merkel will arrive late after the plane was grounded on groups over a technical. that's if you're watching news from the other.
