this is the deputy news live from berlin world leaders gather in argentina for the g. twenty summit to trade tensions will be in the spotlight with china still locked in a tit for tat terrorist tussle with the u.s. but there's embarrassment for germany as chancellor merkel's plane is grounded on route forcing her to miss the start of the song also coming up. ukraine bans military aged russian men from entering the country this as its military threat is for combat. and western weapons falling into the wrong hands and yemen

d.w. investigates the hardware flowing to the country's militias and complicating any prospects for peace. i'm dr thomas thanks so much for being with us the g. twenty summit is getting underway today in buenos ayres it's the first time meeting of the world's largest economies has been held in south america chancellor merkel though is still missing the start of that summit after the plane she was traveling in had to make an unscheduled landing her plane had only been in the air for an hour when electronic system malfunction forced her to turn around and land in the western german city of cologne chaucer told reporters it was quote a serious malfunction and she praised the very excellent crew on board the delay is likely to complicate machall scale. of meetings at the two days.

while other world leaders meanwhile have already touched down in buenos aires this year's gathering comes as the world economy and international markets are weakening and with the uncertainty growing over ukraine much will depend on this man u.s. president donald trump will be holding crucial talks with china on tariffs that have stoked tensions and that have evolved to encompass broader international security concerns will the two countries be able to reach a breakthrough in argentina. well just before the summer start president trump called off a head to head meeting with russian president vladimir putin. in the spotlight. but a mere putin has taken more than ukrainian sailors captive in the as a of c. his high stakes military and political maneuvering has ensured the group of twenty meeting will be dominated by two people at kremlin chief and his u.s.

counterpart donald trump just like last year's g twenty when russian meddling in u.s. elections overshadowed the agenda the president's haven't met one on one since their july summit in helsinki where trump's behavior toward putin was bizarrely submissive leaving huge questions looming over buenos itas european leaders and his advisors back home all want to show a united front and that's really our objective it doesn't really matter so much what's practical steps are as long as we can show united front because remember putin's objective is to sow discord and disunity in the western alliance europe's geography dooms it to being caught in the middle of moscow and washington politically when tensions flare in those capitals brussels feels the burn it will be difficult for the europeans to see their concerns on global trade addressed while navigating other diplomatic danger zones there are so many things going home could. cause problems i mean. she jinping will be there so

it's possible that if there is language on trades that. says something very negative about china or that others will want to say something very negative about protectionism and trump will insist that protectionism is good and america's first . don't forget you also have the saudis there as he and bond points out even more political drama will be insured by the presence of saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin salman accused of ordering the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi many european leaders have expressed outrage and scaled back ties to trump hasn't one thing is certain about this g twenty there are going to be some awfully awkward photo ops. and we'll have full coverage of the g twenty summit when it gets underway at four thousand nine hundred hours see other news now and tensions between russia and ukraine are showing no signs of abating after last weekend's

naval skirmish off the coast of crimea according to ukrainian border services the country's banning all russian adult male sixteen to sixty from entering the country and in an interview with a british broadcaster the ukrainian president petro poroshenko has again shown what he calls evidence of russian north terry tanks amassing along his country's border the tanks just eight hundred kilometers from ukraine are said to be close to where russia stores its ammunition including multi rocket launch systems. w correspondent david stern is standing by for more in kiev david russia's president saying there that the country is barring. the ukrainian president other russian men between sixteen and sixty from entering the country can you tell us what's behind that. well yes this is all part of the earth the martial law the work reading that was introduced earlier this week we've been waiting to see exactly how

this is going to play out what government in the presidents are going to do introduce a great deal of confusion. about the about what terms are what we are going to be using the pen or region where this is where this is being implemented so obviously this is something of great significance to sex a large number of people and there are many russian passport holders in you do you crave especially in areas on bordering on russia and so to really be seen how this will play out but obviously this is something that the government feels is necessary in order to in order to counter the as you say the standoff or the defense is that they. prefer the rising tensions that i think the phrase right now ok do we have any independent confirmation of the tanks being russian tanks massing

close to ukraine's border. well government. report repeatedly over the last year. conflicts. gravel in the. part of the country. or. from the president part of the bill not of course. i'm sure and reality i know that. the building number one of the. little. parts of. the city ok david stern did have your correspondent here thanks for being with us i think for more on this let's go now to your country tina of the german greens is

a member of the foreign affairs committee in vice chair of the german russian parliamentary friendship group thanks for being with us this morning mr eckstein what do you make of ukraine of barring russians age sixteen from sixteen to sixty from entering the contrary is this an escalation yes it is an escalation and i don't think that's really wise because there are a lot of relations between families on both sides of the border and to ban they may have people will sharpen the conflict ok now what if anything can germany and the e.u. do at this point to reduce what's increasingly looking like the threat of an armed clash between ukraine and russia. first the joint european position is that russia has to release days soldiers captured in the

as of c. and to release them very soon the second thing is the. plants to both saw it to deescalate and we have sometimes the impression that you can understand the reaction from the ukrainian side from the provocation from russia is also a little bit influenced by the upcoming presidential elections and the growing on popularity of. ok we're looking at images right now of that military standoff. in the opposite. crimea russia saying that it was either craney and provocation in fact what it what you said that. it's very clear that they entered the three vessels after di left and right on the back way back toward death and this

is very clear and that captured it in that situation and therefore it was now not necessary if it has been approval cation from do you craniums this prevail cation was over as the russians captured the vessels and captured some of the soldiers ok now now the ukraine pressure president petro poroshenko has mentioned that he's concerned about the possibility of russian militias forming inside ukraine and joining in with russian forces outside of the country is that a serious threat. and i think if you look on the east ukrainian situations in done gnashed and you see that we have a mix of internal conflict and foreign intervention and that's what the ukrainian side here's the problem is you can't stop this by banning people

to visit very latest in ukraine for example and this will sharpen the conflict and therefore i think that is getting bad reaction what these sishen has been off today ok in terms of deescalation backing off here u.s. president dollars from council does meeting with vladimir putin at the g twenty summit is the window for deescalating closing in europe and i think the stopping of the meeting with putin has nothing to do with the situation in ukraine it as i see it is more last a reaction on the ongoing investigations done by the f.b.i. and the muller investigation he's fearing to appear as weak to russia and that's the reason why you don't want to meet putin had nothing to do with the situation in ukraine is going to taint of the german green party vice chair of the german or russia parliamentary friendship group thanks very much thank you.

a newly released report investigating arms used in the conflict. we found that there are coalition countries granted massive amounts. are ordered he calls to their yemeni. all who are these weapons and those vehicles was not to be given to any third party. by arab coalition i believe mean saudi arabia the united arab emirates and several other countries from the middle east and africa. for almost four years they've been backing forces loyal to yemeni president added a woman sword heavy fighting share of those known as who things they've been doing so with sustained air strikes weapons and logistics. bullet and investigative journalist from arab reporters for investigative journalism spent a year analyzing broadcasts footage found on social media and close internet groups

to identify the origins of these weapons. he did so using serial numbers and other identifiable traits. he says arab coalition members gave weapons to their yemeni allies but these arms were originally imported from germany belgium austria and others. they given not only do they allies in the army but also do the. maintenance and forces who are fighting outside the control of the yemeni state and the yemeni army and this. needs to that these equipments reach into the hands of. terrorist groups. and also. went to. got markets of weapons in yemen even used by show during experts say yemen is experiencing the worst humanitarian

crisis in the world it is estimated eighty five thousand children have died of hunger since the bombings began in two thousand and fifteen. fourteen million people could soon be on the brink of starvation according to the united nations the supply of foreign weapons is not only contributing to the humanitarian crisis in yemen it's also illegal the sale of many of the weapons is covered by international laws known as end user agreements they prohibit arms being transferred to a third party believes investigation accuses the saudi coalition weapon suppliers and governments of repeatedly breaching these agreements with violations stretching all the way back to the beginning of the conflict in twenty fifteen he tried to present his evidence to official from countries including germany belgium and the u.k. he said most of the countries replied affirming their commitment to the end user agreement but when we send to them the. next step which questions.

nor when it's with serial numbers or was this if a case is. measured to where they were just stopped or. think. no penalties have ever been levied for beaching end user agreements but i believe it and his team hope their evidence will end western support for the arab coalition's military intervention in yemen. let's get some perspective on this now with peter bass a money senior researcher at the stockholm international peace research institute specializes in arms proliferation thanks for joining us and we heard there that research showing that arms made in germany in the u.s. and britain are being used against civilians and that they also wind up in the hands of groups like al qaeda what do you think about this is this the case. i'm absolutely not surprised it is very common. like the ones we have in yemen

but weapons are there i provided deliberately to those groups often in violation of the original and use agreements of the groups which get them and are where it is legal let it happen actually cannot control those arms that they lose them so lack of control this is nothing new and the evidence was already there for years and it's not surprising that someone has now been able to. prove to these and i think prove to a large extent this is that this happens in yemen ok now the united states has prevent presented evidence that it's show shows iranian weapons have been deployed to militants in yemen what do you think about that claim is that also the case. i think there are there is a u.n. panel which does pacific research on this and they have come with the conclusion that it is very likely that iran is supplying weapons of different types to the who

the rebels the exact numbers and quantities remain very unclear there are also those who say that hooty is a very much dependent on the weapons which are already in the. country including the weapons which are being supplied out to for example the allies of saudi arabia there is are every big difference between the ears and and the supply of weapons to the groups that are at alliance to the fore more internationally. recognized go go go and all of yemen and that is that the weapons which are being supplied to iran are clearly supplied in contravention of international norm of a u.n. arms embargo and briefly if you could if international law is not working what should be done to stop weapons from both sides making their way to these groups i think it's extremely important that the countries which are the original suppliers

of these weapons take the allegations very seriously that they step up that efforts to do so called and use monitoring control so for example in germany to my knowledge there are about two persons who actually follow up on arms exports who go to the countries which have imported those and to put persons for that is very little much more needs to be drawn back to actually establish if the arms exports stay in the hands of those pool knew or in ten ten ten ten and i think that's a very important part of the measures that should be improved to avoid these things happen peter is a man from the stockholm international peace research institute thanks very much. well. it's going to business with their heart now and more on the g. twenty is hopes of averting a global trade war that's right bryan it's not an easy time for multilateralism

world leaders gather in buenos aires are bracing themselves for fraud negotiations they'll be discussing a whole host of issues but trade will of course be obtuse with the agenda one of the most closely watched meetings will be between the u.s. president donald trump and his chinese counterpart g.h. in the two countries are still locked in a trade dispute that is showing little sign of a resolution continues to scare markets around the world the united states so far has imposed tariffs on two hundred fifty billion dollars worth of chinese imports threatened to do even more china in turn has slapped tariffs on a one hundred ten billion dollars worth of american made products that. has had an impact on trade around the world but especially small businesses in china are feeling the impact. when i'm in 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. no more limited which i don't think it was very wise of trump to start a trade war. we all lose then china is a huge market and now he's losing that huge market for. cars like this dar dram now cost around six thousand euros more due to a ten percent tariff on vehicles imported from the u.s. . 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 zhu 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 the only thing they've noticed is that apples in the supermarket that used to come from the u.s. now come from canada. you know 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 world is that the case yes. it does concern me into a certain extent because you know as the top leader of the 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 emerged on. banks that price is still trading three percent down today that's after news broke that police had conducted raids on its offices some one hundred seventy policeman's evidence supporting accusations the bank to help clients set up offshore firms to park money to crime locations relate to information contained in a huge data leak known as the parent of a paper's investigations focusing on the period beginning in twenty thirteen when foreign c.e.o. christiane xavi headed the group's order to department. now

let's bring in only bart's friend financial correspondent. what's happened since the raid of dodge. well actually the raid is still ongoing the prosecutors said there was so much material to go through and search that the search continued this morning so the police again visitors at the bank and the bank also had a prominent visitor yesterday that came out today and reports was no none other than the deputy chief of the fed the federal reserve the central bank in the united states randi quarrels and this had nothing to do with the raid per se it was a coincidence that this meeting had been set up with christian saving the c.e.o. of the deutsche bank and it probably wasn't a very pleasant talk either because your bank recently failed a stress test by the fed in the united states once again so quite quite an

embarrassing situation then talking about. present all questions are questions being asked about who knew what when. yes they are being asked no answers yet because we don't know the results of the search the bank itself of course says there was no wrongdoing but christians a ving is being asked you know you mentioned he was head of auditing yes he was also head of regulatory affairs for a very brief period and head of private clients he's been at many stations in the bank except for two years he's been with the doj or bank only in his career but right now he's in the middle of restructuring the bank and doing a good job there people think really under fire as according to reports and speculation that she has to go that the current head of regulatory affairs. she hasn't been able to install the new culture and make sure that people don't the wrong things and supervisory board had paul often in that position for six years

also failing to install a proper culture with the balance in sight but thank you. south korea has sent a train across the world's most heavily militarized border into north korea for the first time in more than a decade it's part of a drive to modernize the north's battered not walk and reconnect it with the south six rail cars carrying south korean engineers will inspect one thousand two hundred kilometers of trucks over the next eighteen days of travel as far as north korea's border with china up to the south unification ministry experts say bringing north korea's lives up to international standards could cost billions of dollars. and that set your watch indeed news from berlin more coming up at the top of the hour stay tuned for europe that's up next fall.
