another locomotive and a pedestrian overpass coming at least nine people forced to take three state route like what was saved best to get the corpse of a coach. i'm still going to welcome to the program. the two sides in yemen civil war have agreed to a ceasefire in the port city of a data a joint sponsor of the peace talks in sweden secretary-general on top you could terrorists issue cons on the deal with yemen's foreign minister and a top level later this round of talks all the establishment of humanitarian corridors and the deployment of neutral forces the next round shuttle for janet the city of the data on the red sea it's a vital and good point for humanitarian aid needed by millions of yemenis to cede some of the worst fighting in the which began four years ago. lisa grande is

the un's humanitarian coordinator in the country's capital sana'a when i asked her about the significance of the ceasefire do the two hundred thousand civilians who have remained in two days and throughout are now free from the daily fear of shelling and airstrikes and bombardment and we're also relieved because the port of her data which is the lifeline for northern even will be open and secure and functional right now there are twenty million people in yemen who are hungry the united nations is providing food to eight million of those people and we know we have to do more and that's why we're going to be scaling up and providing food to twelve million we'll be bringing that food in mostly through the port of data and this is another reason why this ceasefire is so welcome and so important and the steps that have to fall into place so that we can end this tragic and terrible war all of this has been looked at in the past we were very intense for the next round of talks to occur the fighting in yemen has had

a new normal its civilian toll there are millions of people who have been brought to the brink of famine because of this war and this is why it's so important so urgent that the war stop and stop now there was conflict has pushed the country to the brink of famine malnutrition is widespread and i had agencies say the crisis is entirely manmade. cries of pain like this are commonplace in yemen. two million children under five here a severely malnourished. and. what have these children done that they have to suffer so much we're all suffering life is tough here disease is spreading children are starving including those who are at school. every monday these four hundred thousand children in yemen will die if they don't get urgent medical care hospitals that are relatively well equipped like this one in santa are few and far between

outside the capital the situation is dire parents have to transport their desperately sick children often hundreds of kilometers to get help and i also learned by my daughter started throwing up and had diarrhea so we come all the way from ties to santa to get a treat it was just and again you know in rebel held areas of the country there's a sense of skepticism but also hope about the peace talks in stockholm civilians are desperate for the conflict that has been depleting the population figures to finally come to an end and. i expect the negotiations to be conducted seriously. if they follow the political situation on t.v. it's clear that there is a seriousness when it comes to finding a solution for yemen. and the government health south of the country people are also hoping for peace that the south receives military support from saudi arabia

humanitarian aid remains very limited the u.n. needs to help families here to to prevent more children losing their lives to starvation. french police some think the gunman who opened fire near christmas market in strasbourg on tuesday of last an operation in the south of the city offices from an elite police unit of shut down parts of the noise door neighborhood it's unclear whether they've located the twenty nine year old suspect sherry cat he's described as dangerous and the police warning the public not to approach him the death toll from the attack has now risen to three prosecutors say a fourth person is in critical condition. britain's prime minister is back in brussels seeking more help from a u. leaders theresa may arrive today after surviving a confidence vote brought by her own political party the first of today's meetings with irish prime minister there for us she's made what's legal assurances from e.u. leaders that would make the bracks city of the great people of them more acceptable

to the parliament and for about a disorderly exit from the european union what i'll be talking to european leaders about here today is about what i think is we need to get this to going over the line i've already met me in france care i'm going to be addressing the european council later and i will be sharing the truth legal and political assurances that i believe we need to assuage the concerns that members of parliament have on this issue and i know the twenty seven would also be discussing the planning and indeed the government of the u.k. is discussing their geocaching but i think it's i've always said to the best arrangement tragedy for the place the u.k. and see us to agree a deal and get this deal into line well they don't do brussels correspondent matters is that the european council at a summit and it's happening welcome so what specifically does theresa may want from the e.u. twenty seven. which recently is looking for something basically a game changer that she can take back to the u.k.

to convince lawmakers there that the deal she has put on the table is the deal that leads the way forward for the u.k. out of this style emma and one of the key sticking points to achieve that one. there one of the points that you need to tackle is the irish backstop to the karen tea that the e.u. is seeking so that there will be no hard border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland she wants to make sure that this backstop will not be permanent that it really only is an insurance policy if you want to avoid a hard border now already said no lots of times and lots of different languages including english does that snow like it to become a yes. i think leaders today made pretty clear that they will not touch the divorce deal so that a legal guarantee that the backstop is only temporary it is not on the table but the dutch prime minister today said this today is about clarification about demystifying this whole backstop issue that the u.s.

zero interest to make it long term and there let's listen to two other leaders who tried to clarify things today to see if there is wiggle room for theresa may that she has something to take back your strawman chancellor angela merkel and her austrian counterparts a bastion could. things the offices are however i'd also like to say that i think that withdrawal agreement has been very well negotiated will now discuss with each other how to proceed but of course we also have our principles and i don't think we can change this withdrawal agreement again. we can of course talk about whether there should be some additional assurances the twenty seven member states will however be working very much together here and of course making their interests clear always in the spirit that will have a very very good relations with great britain even after its withdrawal from the. event that we will however try to move further towards each other with a clarification because it is also important for us that we always have the

interests of our and in mind it's understandable that britain opposes the possibility that there could be a permanent unequal treatment. it's between northern ireland and the rest of britain. was put on the spot on the other hand we also ask for britain to understand that that must be a hard border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland don't bloody uncommon arctic masses not brussels georg theresa may have troubles back at hanging on to power after just surviving a confidence vote back in the u.k. how are her troubles being seen bad in the context of directions. to resolve may is of course the chief bracks it because she ate her for the u.k. and the european union has spent weeks and months to hammer out this deal she is that guaranteed that orderly bracks it is the most likely scenario at least that is

prospective for for many european countries here so a lot of sympathy here today even the dutch prime minister said he admired her resilience the prime minister of luxembourg creature with the kids and the promise we're here to help so a lot of sympathy on the other hand leaders also made clear look we're not here to to hand out gifts we have our red lines and we've got to stick to them otherwise we are facing a bad deal and that will be worse than a cliff that. matters brussels thank you. now to some of the other stories making news around the world officials in israel palestinian has shot and killed two israelis in the occupied west bank another two are said to be wounded the shooting happened near the jury settlement of palestinian good seven people in a separate attack on sunday. five companies capital kinshasa has destroyed thousands of voting machines just ten days before the country's presidential election

a high speed train crash just outside the capital shortly after leaving central station a high speed train carrying more than two hundred people collided with a locomotive checking rails on the same route some survivors were able to walk away . shaken but a lawyer a man stumbles from the mangled wreckage of the six thirty train from ankara to kanya in the dark of the early morning rescue team search for survivors byrd beneath a mountain of metal and concrete. emergency services treated the walking wounded as passengers described the scene. was such an argument we hadn't yet reached high speeds when it happened i was in the sixth carriage we could see that the train had been ripped apart and had come off the tracks. the express train was just a few minutes into its fateful journey when it crashed into a maintenance locomotive seen at the bottom here. and then flew into

a pedestrian overpass a suburban station and that collapsed it's unclear how fast the train was traveling at the time of impact or why the truck was blocked. efforts of now turned to recovery and the search for answers took as president so justice would be swift closer in a judicial and administrative investigations have been launched regarding the crash and the state prosecutor's office so far has detained three people this crash will be investigated in all its dimensions so those responsible will be brought to justice and whatever is necessary will be done. outside the local mortuary anxious families waited for the news they'd been dreading as the full extent of this tragedy started to emerge. us climate summit in poland and tomorrow and risks ending in failure secretary

general antonio terra shawarma two hundred delegates and try to venture to find compromises or risk leaving empty handed yemen describing the fight against global warming as a matter of life and death it had been hope the summit was finalized regulations from the twenty fifth paris accord with negotiators disagreed about the amount of change needed despite overwhelming scientific evidence on climate change skeptics still deny its existence insisting it's a lie perpetrated by mainstream media politicians and media here in germany the far right is also trying to shift the discussion. the world's top climate change denier maybe u.s. president donald trump but around the globe populace including the new president of brazil are attacking what they call the myth of global warming and forcing environmentalists to defend accepted scientific wisdom. germany is no exception here the far right populist a.f.d.

party argues that humans aren't changing the climate as we speak says feelings of clear want the most important thing is education and people's commonsense despite relatively constant c o two levels in the past ten years there have been huge variations in climate wasn't the most welcome there is no cause and effect between c o two and temperatures. but. the f.t. wants to reverse germany's ambitious renewable energy sources act cancel the country's planned phase out of coal power and take it out of the twenty fifteen paris agreement on climate. that makes the co-leader of germany's green party see red. a.s.d. is not only a far right and sometimes extremist party that isn't always committed to our constitution but it also doesn't stand for freedom of research it doesn't acknowledge that on the environment and in particular climate change we have evidence accepted by all scientists the world over instead the question science

itself. is an even shaft in foghat. the greens say germany's mainstream parties should continue discussing climate protection and not get stuck in quarrels with the f.d.a. but that may be easier said than done the f.d.a. and the greens are vying to become germany second most powerful political party and the climate is an issue where the populace can take a clear stand against the mainstream. manmade climate change is a fact for the vast majority of bundestag delegates. but battles to set the environmental agenda are raging on the national level all over the world including ecologically progressive germany. football last night such champions league tournament sobyanin munich and the i x. i'm so down facing off in an exciting three hole draw the drama started with just

the program started in march twenty fifteen back then and to be invested to strengthen a weak euro zone economy is suffering with deflation critics say the program the government simply minimized borrowing costs instead of making reforms for their countries. our financial correspondent conduct who's in is in frankfurt where the e.c.b. is headquarter and has been following the decision for us come that hi it's good to see you again well the reactions we saw in the main indices actually show us there was no surprise there were barely noticeable. that's true but the e.c.b. had a couple of things to say which were new and which were quite interesting for the markets for example the e.c.b. said and i quote this because it sounds a little bit complicated it will continue reinvesting in full the principal payments from maturing securities it purchased under the asset purchase program for an extended period of time and past the date when it starts raising the key e.c.b.

interest rates which means at least until the summer of twenty nine excuse me twenty nineteen of course next summer and this means yes the e.c. b. is ending its money printing at the end of this month it's not going to print fresh money and buy bonds for this money but it will continue to buy bonds whenever some of the bonds that it's holding expire the money that it gets from you know this expiration will be reinvested in bonds and this means that of course the e.c.b. is making this phasing out of its quantitative easing program very very slow critics of this policy many of them here in germany will say like that like this the e.c.b. is not shrinking fast enough its huge balance sheet and we know that not only people here in germany but banks all over the eurozone at least some of then

struggled with this monetary policy we saw some of their shares up even before the announcement what does this mean for eurozone bags. well for the banks this announcement and this ongoing monetary policy is a bit of a double edged sword of course the banks do profit also from low interest rates because it keeps the economy going something the banks need but especially you know old school european banks that rely heavily on high interest rates with their traditional business models they want to see a foster ending of that monetary policy they want to see higher interest rates rather sooner than later and that's why of course especially here in germany the criticism of the e.c.b. and his monetary policy will probably persist it's the slow and of american who's been following it for us thank you very much. and is it
