the lead. me a. lead. to immediate. warning to yemeni delegates that peace talks to speak in their beginnings a future is in the homes of those of us in this room who know the full control of the future to give a little to saudi backed government and where the rebels sit down together to seek

ways to hold a devastating civil war. also coming up a top global executive a chinese telecommunications giant wall way under arrest in canada she now faces extradition to the u.s. for allegedly violating sanctions on iran. example america's last day as the chair of germany's conservative c.d.u. party she's stepping down after eighteen years but will her successor let merkel see out her term as chancellor. also coming up in the next sixty minutes that shattered dreams after a video of a soccer crazy afghan boy went viral his dream came true when he met his idol. but two years later she is the face of afghans who have lost everything to the taliban . and members of the oil cartel opec meeting their differences over cutting production leading member saudi arabia is under pressure from washington to keep pumping oil prices low.

i'm sunni so much god it's good to have you with us there is a catastrophe unfolding in yemen and we have to stop it those were the words of sweden's foreign minister as he opened talks aimed at ending the war in yemen the u.n. broker talks are taking place in a remote location outside stockholm the meeting brings together yemen saudi backed government and who the rebels aligned with iran the first time the two sides of come together in more than two million years the conflict is triggered a massive humanitarian crisis with millions of people suffering from severe hunger the un's envoy to yemen martin griffiths was forthright about what's at stake over the coming days it has been there done that yemen's future is in the head of those of us in this road. the country's institutions or risk. the fragmentation the country. is enormous and so. we must work our you know

before we lose control of the future of europe so the stakes are high what chance do these talks have of actually succeeding let's ask adam baron from the european council on foreign relations he joins us by adam so the fact that these rival sides have gotten to sweden is actually seen as an accomplishment in itself now that they're at the table what kind of outcome is the u.n. envoy actually hoping to achieve here. i think first of all it's important to keep expectations low these are the first run for a few stocks that we've seen since since the auction quick last morning three years ago that being said we could see more steps to kind of the return of things back to the political process you know we're talking about deescalation measures we're talking about things like the pre the prisoner exchange that we've already seen as announced with the start of the talks so they're kind of smaller steps but it's these kind of smaller steps that are crucial in terms of getting things in the

right direction ok but just before the talks got underway we thought demands being leveled by both sides the who the rebels were threatening to block u.n. access to the airport in santa and the yemeni government was calling on the rebels to withdraw from her data could that do you will any progress at these talks i mean having followed the talks before and just you know following politics in general i guess it's just sort of distinguish between the posturing that's happening outside the room where the talks are happening and then the talks that are happening in private obviously these kinds of sick and you can do so too are going to be inside that being said in a lot of areas it is kind of posturing and of in the run up to sort of set the child and sort of signal to both sides bases back in yunnan that they're not going to sell outs or speak that being said that's not ignore the other things in the wrong i think there are there are clear indications that either side in the any

conflict is sort of ready to put their guns away or sort of speak so certainly martin critics is facing an uphill battle here and adam you don't mean on the ground the u.n. says millions of people in yemen are on the brink of starvation what concessions if any are both sides willing to make to alleviate the humanitarian crisis. we've heard talk of humanity as we've heard talk of actual economic. situation particular garstin images of government employees but let's face it the only way that humanitarian situation is going to get results is through some sort of through the conflicts eighty percent of the enemies are in u.s. humanitarian aid when you're dealing with a situation that we're talking twenty nine people you know isn't going to be the solution you're dealing with something where you need a structural solution and honest structural solution is an absolute not and cannot answer. overnight and bear in from the european council on foreign relations thank

you so much now beijing is demanding that canada release. one of china's top global executives men as the daughter of the founder of chinese telecoms giant while way and was detained last week in vancouver she now faces extradition to the us for alleged violations of american sanctions on iran. she's the chief financial officer of one of the biggest telecommunications equipment companies in the world now it's emerged that men wang's who has been in custody in canada for days u.s. authorities are seeking her extradition on charges of helping huawei violate the u.s. trade embargo on iran allegations that have prompted an angry response from beijing . hugo with china has expressed its serious position on this case to both canada and the united states. we are demanding the

reason for her arrest to be clarified immediately. also demanding menthe release and for any from abroad in the past u.s. lawmakers have described the company as a threat to national security saying its technology could be used for spying. other countries like australia and new zealand share those concerns and have banned highways equipment from being used in their high speed five g. mobile networks. the latest allegations from the united states have emerged as an especially sensitive time in the chinese u.s. relationship last weekend the country's leaders agreed to a ninety day truce in their month long trade dispute the u.s. decision to target one of china's most important tech giants is only likely to reignite tensions. aaron tilton from data business is here to break down this story for us erin this is a complex story tell us more about what is behind these allegations well right now

it does seem that wall way has been accused of violating american sanctions when it comes to delivering american develop technology to countries most specifically iran and this has been an issue of contention regarding huawei and other chinese providers for quite a while now remember earlier in the year is e.t.e. which is also a large manufacturer of electronics in china was also accused of violating u.s. sanctions and actually led to punitive measures from the u.s. government which also almost resorted in the company being completely dismantled in holding their business and it actually took the intervention of dollars from directly to allow them to continue do business on the world market so on the one side does seem to be concerned about how chinese manufacturers are using american technology abroad but on the other side there's also kind of this looming accusations from many chinese telecoms and telecommunications providers regarding espionage on the international scene i want to ask you that because western governments have actually said that using weiwei technology poses a national security risk because of espionage as you said what is behind that fear

well those accusations have been surrounding huawei pretty much from the beginning you have to remember the founder of qual way was actually a former engineer for china's military so there's been a connection between the military and huawei from the beginning and if you we've seen in the last several months actually kind of those concerns get much more intense i mean recently from not mistaken new zealand was actually banned its telecoms from using huawei technologies saying that they could be. sensually those chips that they were using their computers could be funneling information back to china now when i was working at a tech start up earlier we also had similar concerns many of our developers said they wouldn't use one way technology because they didn't know exactly where their data was going and also it's not just not just espionage of information between in terms of the different governments it's also espionage on the industrial scale we've seen many governments express concern that chinese companies were attempting

to funnel the. american and western european technology back to china to help their country get a leg up on the competition so these are pretty serious allegations what do you see happening next an escalation well that is the big question and we've seen calls from the chinese embassy to release miss manning we've also seen of course dementias from the hallway saying that they have no evidence and they've seen no evidence that she committed any crimes or that their companies committed any crimes but this comes at a really really sensitive issue of time rather for the u.s. and china i mean if you think about it we've just seen kind of a deescalation when it comes to the looming trade conflict but we really don't know where this is going to come sort of just a very very bad time for both parties to be up to the honest all right aaron tilton from business thank you very much thank you. and helen has got a look now at how the business world is taken away news today. well markets dropping today following the arrest of the huawei t. financial officer shares are two point five percent lower in frankfurt mirroring

mirroring losses in asia investors assessing the economic and supply chain implications are already strained relationship between the u.s. and china now while way as one of the world's largest makers of telecoms equipment tech stocks across asia are under pressure including many partners and suppliers to arrest represents a new escalation in american efforts to hold chinese companies accountable for reported violations of u.s. doors. and from on this story i'm joined now by correspondent and they hang in singapore andrea allegations in the arrest range of espionage to breaching sanctions on iran why is there been such a strong reaction on markets well it's been one big tumble out another in the markets today hello obviously this matter is going to make shares shake and tumble all the way down a lot of your shares in asia took

a big hit today to close down mostly and a lot of it has to do with concerns about how this issue is going to we on the potential and promising us china treat truce which which was a very very big possibility right up until yesterday and are quite ways says it has no real details about the arrest but the company seems to be in real trouble doesn't it. yes it does this whole thing puts a lot more pressure on china than it wants to have and this is a rest comes after a long arm while we are there the u.s. has less u.s. lawmakers excuse me has had been conducting since twenty sixteen and this is long before even became president so the allegations by the u.s. on what. is that of being a threat. to national security the u.s.

has accused the quality of spying on behalf of china so this all of these national security threats have led more recently the u.k. these british telecom to impose bans on hallways devices on its five g. networks which is rolling out outside of europe also australia and new zealand most recently have joined the fray as well they have also imposed a similar ban on their five g. networks hang in singapore thank you. it's a milestone for millions of cubans as of today they'll be able to access the internet on their mobile phones with a new three g. network is one of the world's least connected countries just five years ago the internet was largely a really available at the island's tourist hotels but that's about change cuba's like far behind most countries in web access whether because of a lack of cash for a long running u.s. trade embargo or government fears about the flow of information but with public

wi-fi hotspots cybercafes and slowly hooking up homes to the web provider has made connectivity a priority now a range of mobile phone packages has to be rolled out as well as the c.m. but i did the last orchard on december the sixth at eight am we will have a very specific set time for this the internet service will open for mobile phones . this is been something that the people have long been on tis a pacing so many cubans complain about having to brave insects and the elements at the public hot spots which also like pretty. to burn the world affairs is great imagine being at home and already being connected i don't have to get up and go to a park and find a hot spot. however thirty dollars for a thirty day four gigabyte package the new network will be beyond the reach of many even if the government says it will boost the economy and help the country defend its revolution online. but have you see me now with the rest of the day's news

thank you hoda well you might remember the images of a little afghan boy from a couple of years ago mortaza made the headlines after being pictured wearing a linen all messy football shirt made out of a plastic back now though internet fame has given way to the harsh realities of life in afghanistan his family's been forced to flee their home because of the taliban it was a story which catches the hearts of millions. went pictures of muddy wearing a makeshift little messy shirt fashioned out of a carrier bag uploaded to facebook it was quickly a viral sensation. his dreams of meeting his idol then became reality when he was invited to leave barcelona for a friendly match in qatar a magical moment for the football mad five year old but two years on those happy times are distant memory after taliban soldiers attack their afghan village murtaza

or his family were forced to flee their homes what's more than our seven year old's international fame has brought unwelcome attention back home. some men were chasing us saying ever since our son became famous our family has become rich because messi gave us money. we didn't care but when the taliban got closer to our place then our lives are in danger when we turn a profit. now living in kabul with his mother but also dreams of being reunited with his hero a world away from war torn afghanistan. i like messi a lot i want to live close to him i want him to take me out of this place. one of more than three hundred thousand afghans that fled their homes due to violence since the beginning of twenty eighteen alone but tells a story isn't unique but the boy dubs many mysie by the media provides

a recognizable face for their plight. let's catch up now some other stories making headlines around the world afghanistan's election watchdog has declared all the votes cast in kabul during october's parliamentary election as invalid the board said there were twenty five reasons for the decision including major fraud and mismanagement the election took place under the threat of taliban violence so far results have only been declared in fourteen of thirty three provinces. in iran at least three people have been killed and twenty four wounded in a suicide bombing and gun attack in the southern port city of our authority said the attackers tried to storm a police headquarters officials blamed terrorism but so far there's been no claim of responsibility. and a former australian archbishop found guilty of covering up child sex abuse in the catholic church has had his conviction overturned and australian courts ruled in favor of philip both its appeal and freed him from detention wilson was the world's

most senior catholic to be convicted of hiding abuse which was committed by a pedophile priest in the one nine hundred seventy s. . foreign ministers from the world's largest regional security organization the o s c e are meeting right now in a bid to defuse tensions between russia and ukraine now the talks are being dominated by a november confrontation in the sea of russia seized three ukrainian ships and captured two dozen ukrainian sailors and speaking in in milan ukraine's foreign minister publican can demand that the immediate release of the crew members moscow claims they violated russia's own territorial waters after it and next crimea in two thousand and fourteen. while they use foreign policy chief federica mogul raney has urged moscow to deescalate tensions with kiev let's hear more. and we all are to russia through least the cop should vs their crew and keep meant unconditionally and without delay we expect russia to ensure free passage

through the straits you know accordance with international law we also remain committed to promoting a sustainable political solution to the conflict in eastern ukraine in line with the founding principles of the u.s.c. this is to say with full respect of ukraine's sovereignty independence unity and territorial integrity. we have sarah pagong a russia expert at the german council on foreign relations with us here in our studio thank you for joining us we here heard the e.u. foreign policy chief there frederica mugger really backing the ukrainian position in this crisis and it does look like russia is coming under a lot of criticism from the. what impact do you think that's actually going to have on russia if any it won't have a big impact actually because even though the european members also he asked us in the past to criticize and russia that won't lead to any concrete measures. taken by the o.c.e. because russia is still mom and can block any of those decisions that might violate

their very own interests so you don't see russia backing down here what are russia's interests in this so we have to interest first putting president likely on the ukraine because there are a blocking where he's partly blocking maria pool which is a very important harbor and out only national but also to the master trade in ukraine and the other one is a military one. cation of crimea also to the new perch straight bridge there's a military important factor about the odds of c. in controlling it it's basically an advantage for russia so this is strategically very important and it doesn't look like either side is backing down there are as we said several calls to deescalate what could that look like. that could look like the russians are releasing the crew members that also could look like russian not blocking the as a c. anymore but those are in fact at the moment not likely it also be about the end of martial law in ukraine because the this is an fact a pretty huge obstacle for internal ukrainian development this flare up has really

shine shine a spotlight again on the conflict that's ongoing in eastern ukraine something that was out of the spotlight for some time even though the violence has been continuing there why haven't peace efforts there until now worked and what would work. so they haven't we're basically because lack of trust we won't see russia our other separatists we won't move ukrainian agreeing to or implementing the men's agree with them because michel lack of trust and there's also no reason for russia to back down because they they mainly achieve diggle you like in the internal. the internal internal obstacles to develop ment of ukraine so russia has a pretty good strategic position here and they have no reasons because also there are no huge quansah quinces for russia in that field so there's a lack of trust what role can europe and specifically germany here play in building that trust between both sides so germany has

a quite important role because due to its close a comic but also historic ties to russia has good. good captain channels for dialogue that's the important role to germany but at the moment what we see also if you talk to officials in the diplomatic service you really see no appetite with russia to really work on those measures so at the moment it's really about keeping those channels of communication open really results are not to be not to be expected soon all right the standoff continues there a program from the german council on foreign relations thank you so much. now it's almost unimaginably cruel children being tortured exiled from their homes or even killed by their own family after being labeled a witch it is a growing issue in the niger delta there are tens of thousands of such cases

according to the u.n. but two years ago one toddler became the face of the so-called which children this two year old boy here was cast onto the streets by his family the boy named hope helped bring global attention to the issue. well forget that he is face book series what happened next our social media editor carl nason revisited hope story and this complicated problem let's bring in karl now to look more at the story hi carl how do parents come to believe that their children are witches yeah i mean these superstitions they really do take hold in areas affected by extreme poverty and lack of education people there are simply more likely to believe in the supernatural and kids these children they become easy scapegoats when something goes wrong when tragedy strikes i actually spoke with the woman in that video she's a danish aid worker and you love ain't she brought hope off the streets and here's

her take on the problem they think that the child has been by a demon so the challenge they feel the child is dangerous because. that the evil spirit the child has inside the child can give that to other people just if you share food with that child or if you touch that child the parents sometimes . don't know what to do because they they cannot have the child stay in their house because oil's the parents and the rest of the family will also maybe be victims of this superstition. now this is a growing problem not only in nigeria but in other countries there in the region we're talking about countries like cameroon and the democratic republic of congo in fact we should have some images there of what these sort of exorcisms look like in

the congo and in terms of these these children that have been infused of being which is another factor of place in the families sometimes simply have more kids than they can care for in fact in nigeria more than forty percent of the population is age fourteen or younger. what role does religion play in all of this. it really is a big factor especially in nigeria this niger delta is actually one of the regions in the world with the most churches per square kilometer of any of the region you see billboards everywhere for these self-styled pastors that claim that anything that goes wrong may be poverty unemployment can be blamed on these child which as you see one of these self-styled pastors here her name is helen who bobbie oh she runs dozens of churches in nigeria this is her web site you can see she claims to be able to diagnose and cure these child which is of course that comes for a big feed something that ministers charge a lot of money for their very influential in the region they encourage these

beliefs and of course they profit from it as well. i have to ask you know we saw those images of hope from two years ago images that went around the world how is he doing now. but we do have some good news hope is doing a lot better it really is a miraculous transformation and we have some images for you of what hope looks like now nearly three years later this is him i mean take a look at how much healthier he is he's been brought into a youth center now founded by and young and her husband in south east nigeria and gave us an update on how hope is doing. hope is doing so great it said this general area in two thousand and nineteen it's train years ago since the rescue and he has attended school now for more than a year is a very good student and. sixty seven children he's the one with the most still to steam he is a very naughty and he's highly intelligent no good to see that of course so me one

last thing there is a law actually nigerian acted in twenty ten that should make these sorts of accusations illegal the problem is that enforcement is very so sporadic so any a tells me likely we'll see many more children just like hope of being facing these accusations all right and more on our show on facebook what happens now next thank you very much. if you're watching david do you have your news still to come it is on going michael's last day as the chair of germany's conservative c.d.u. party she is stepping down after eighteen years but will her successor left merkel see her term as chancellor. in the film named after the mythical greek river of the dead wins this year's german human rights prize film what can one lone sailor do when confronted with a boat that is dangerously overloaded with migrants. those stories and much more coming up in two minutes time.

era is drawing to a close as chancellor angela merkel steps down as leader of her conservative c.d.u. party party conference starts later today in humber where delegates will elect merkel's replacement and possibly germany's next chancellor let's take a look back now at merkel's eighteen years at the helm of the christian democrats. these are the congress of merkel's and now. incident in october came as a surprise europe's longest serving elected leader is aiming for something no modern day chancellor has managed before her controlled exit from politics. acted so i won't join again as party leader at the next cd you party conference in hamburg. this is fourth term is my last as the chancellor of germany. merkel became the first woman at the top of the c.d.u. in the year two thousand surprising nearly everyone the newcomer from the east led

her party's break with its political idol helmut core over party funding scandal even though core was her mentor the determination and power instinct the party saw there was also what it would get over the next eighteen years. those who refused to accept that the c.d.u. was no longer gentlemen's club soon learned the hard way one by one her competitors had to go. after becoming chancellor two thousand and five machall took a c.d.u. party on a political journey many criticized as a shift to the left setting conservative benchmark policies like military conscription and performing a u. turn on nuclear energy over the fukushima disaster in japan. by then her vaal as party leader and her role as chancellor had long become inseparable merkel's political brand as the one who guarantees stability was born. in the midst of the

greek debt crisis she defended risking billions of german taxpayers' money by claiming there was no alternative. there is no alternative to supporting greece to secure the financial stability of the euro. merkel's noel targeted reasoning also you saw her keeping germany's borders open during what became known as the migration crisis in twenty fifteen the political challenge that still defines her leadership and yet if we were to know that we can do this considering our european responsibility our humanitarian response ability and our responsibility for germany then we wouldn't be the christian democratic union of germany but we are and that's why we can do this. america herself was long seen as a conservative party leader without an alternative to replace the fact that there are now several credible candidates is also fueling speculation over how much

longer she can remain chancellor. and just in the last few minutes chancellor merkel has arrived at the venue of the c.d.u. party congress and hamburg here's what she had to say looking ahead to tomorrow's vote. good night and this will be a special party congress because this time a new leader of the c.d.u. will be elected. that's something we haven't had in many years but one more of the party has been preparing intensively at all levels. and the one thousand one delegates will face an important task tomorrow. they will also be pointing the way for our future leaders and that's why i'm looking forward to tomorrow i'm excited just as everyone else is this is pure democracy this is a real choice to be made and the delegates will decide the rest on. political editor michelle is in hamburg at the c.d.u.

party conference we heard the chancellor there saying she's looking forward to tomorrow's vote this is pure democracy so what is the choice of facing delegates there. well i'm glad you picked that clip because for the first time since the early one nine hundred seventy s. the c.d.u. actually has a choice that actually is a contested election for the party leadership and that machall has not through her words but certainly through action defined and it could lead to come as the potential apparent when she proposed her to become party secretary general this year now she's known to her she knows her state of germany's smallest state of silent and she left out post to take a risk to reform the c.d.u. party so she has a lot of potential is there other leading can do and is traditionally. knows from the early one nine hundred ninety s. when there was a crunch time both were fighting pretty much

a leadership post in parliament he lost it a couple of years later he left politics altogether realising that he simply cannot compete with merkel and between those two we kind of expect the race to be decided yet there is another one here and spawn who's the current health minister and others might still be proposed during the course of this party conference and it's still very much unclear michelle who will emerge victorious here tomorrow who do you think the main challenger is that. well i suspect that and it could come might just make the race simply because she has been on that listening to it she got a lot of credibility through that and because i expect these are delegates these are not the party grassroots who will vote in the room behind me some one thousand and one and they will be rather levelheaded calculating quite clearly what the chances of a stable government and what they want

a real change in course of the party overall but i'm also hearing from the regions in a lot of regional conferences federation that skein top he. also caused quite a few waves by briefly challenging the consumer constitutional right to asylum then claiming he didn't challenge it after all so he does talk the talk he sounds a lot more understandable to potential populists their yen span we've also heard a lot of criticism from particular over that migration course but nobody really expects him to stand much of a chance here. chief political editor michel look if you're speaking to us from birth thank you very much. they on that story now are helen as more about on one of michael's challengers yes known as the dawning of the business. the potential new party to one of them the candidate is fleeting matt snowman's has been out of front line politics for some.

he heads the german subsidiary of the world's biggest and most powerful wealth manager of black rock and he says he's ready to return to politics to move the party back to its conservative roots he's all very own bensouda now with more. germans hate career politicians so he's someone who's made it in the private sector mance the millionaire he's been on the boards of banks and it shores even a toilet paper make it but it's black rock that gets everyone talking. deceased going to. black rock is not a locust it's a wealth manager yes the biggest in the world but wealth managers are trustees. globally the american firm manages over six trillion dollars double germany's economic output it has the biggest foreign stake in the dax which is in all the top listed companies here and that's not just a ridiculous amount of wealth that's a power the reports from time to time that the fund likes to exercise its influence

over germany executives blackrock denies that it also denies being a shadow bank but it does the scrutiny the world's biggest banks around and enjoys unrivaled access to regulators central banks and governments blackrock has been really adept at playing that game of saying no we're the good guys we're not like a bank and so the bank the banks are the ones that caused the financial crisis we are actually the saviors of the little people and that's basically been there all their spiel if you will and they've been really successful at selling this. but i think it's about time that we look a little more closely and what they're in for actually is and how they're shaping and reshaping markets and the financial system and. blackrock and its team here in frankfurt must hail frederick the great he pried open the door for them to europe's

economic powerhouse and even if he does leave the company upon officially re entering politics that door is already wide open. some economists say mance is just the right man for making germany more competitive but i think he would be great for the country given the fixin's the past thirteen years the governments have focused on redistributing wealth creating wealth is all we need to do some reforms might not be popular. to do it but you're talking about creating wealth for europe's largest economy not creating wealth for the world's biggest hedge fund and fund managers. first of all. for the custom was we should keep this in mind and especially in germany is a discussion. on this very negative. should it just many. many people in dolman station funds the ordinary people benefit from the so i think the discussion here is a little bit misled. mertz once said he learned from his parents about giving back

something to society if you can afford it the squirrel away enough money to give up his corporate career possibly become leader of the christian democrats but he'd have to be investing in that surely he'd want to give back to society by taking charge of europe's largest economy and becoming chancellor. opec seems to be edging closer to cutting oil output to prop up plunging prices that's despite repeated coolest by u.s. president donald trump that they keep the taps open at a two day neatening in vienna a saudi oil minister. told reporters that the group was looking for a sufficient cut to balance the market equally distributed between countries now with regards to trump he added that the us were not in a position to tell the cartel what to do on friday opec members will be joined by five more oil producing states to continue the discussion on how to counter

recently tumbling oil prices. and our financial correspondent but it strains us for more now on power how likely is an output cut at this stage. the uppercut is very likely however the question is is it going to be enough because after those statements from the saudi minister the oil price dropped. after the perception of investor is that it was too hesitant really and the question is still so how much is it going to be even though members have agreed they haven't agreed on how much and that decision depends on ironically not the u.s. but russia russia has agreed to cut one hundred fifty thousand barrels per day but opaque looking for more the numbers of three hundred thousand barrels per day and so that shows how much power opec really has sort of lost to the opec

non opec members in russia specially specially since two thousand and sixteen when they joined forces in order to prop up oil prices back then so still quite a range in the potential cuts that i mean while we understand that the deck has dipped below the symbolic eleven thousand points mark what's going to down. the rest of the who are away c.f.o. in canada certainly has responded to worries over trade and worries over the situation between the u.s. and china went on monday everything looked very brilliant things aren't looking so bright right now only on saturday it was a c.f.o. rest of the very day that donald trump and judging paying agreed to their truce that along with the brags that worries are playing out right now and will probably heighten over the weekend investors are taking a step back just before christmas you know they don't want to take any risks rather
