eight is said to have a range of more than five hundred kilometers which would break the i.n.f. treaty just last week parts of the system were on display near moscow u.s. president donald trump has been threatening to pull out of the pact since the end of last year. russia has not one fortunately part of the agreement show we're going to terminate the agreement we're going to pull out the u.s. lead ons control negotiate and has told g.w. that the government is using the move to force russia's hand but we also spend it and then a six month clock runs if you will during that time russia still can get back into compliance but it frees our obligations under the treaty so we suspend our obligations with the intent to withdraw if we don't get back in compliance but we have abided by the treaty for the entire time and by suspending their obligations that we'll be able to do the research and development of similar systems that russia now has fully fueled and in the field. which russian president vladimir
1:03 pm
putin has tonight breaking the agreement and won't budge. it wasn't a historic moment when in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven russian president mikhail gorbachev and u.s. president ronald reagan signed the i.n.f. treaty it marked a change of course off to decades of nuclear tensions during the cold war years. the treaty banned all ground do much to miss i was with ranges of between five hundred and five and a half thousand kilometers those who felt most at risk during the cold war were countries in western europe. but even germany's foreign minister heiko must recently held talks with american secretary of state's microphone peo admits the treaty is no longer a working. order going on or without the nuclear missile treaty there would be less security but we recognize that this treaty. has been violated by the russian side
1:04 pm
and the jury in the last sixty days unsuccessful attempts have been made to clear up the accusations for more transparency and more information. in so far as this is a treaty between two signatories and that one is in violation of it the treaty is de facto suspended. all star craft because the. pressure is mounting on russia to save the treaty but for now it appears to be dead. well let's go right to moscow our correspondent emily sherwin is standing by there for us are covering this story emily we can't see you at the moment i hope you can hear us so maybe you can fill us in on the reactions there today in moscow well the reaction has been very much one of bracing for the u.s. exit from the i.n.f. treaty the foreign ministry today said that essentially this exit was unavoidable
1:05 pm
the deputy foreign minister called it a done deal and of course russia has also been continuously did not being in violation of the treaty there was a presentation that you just mentioned as well last week where russia showed off this missile that supposedly is in violation of the treaty they said that its range is just four hundred eighty kilometers rather than the five hundred kilometers that would put it within the range of the missiles that are of our inviolate that would be in violation of the i.n.f. treaty and also today we've seen the russian side condemning the u.s. exit the u.s. leaving the i.n.f. treaty the deputy foreign minister said that that was a huge blow to international security and only as we heard this comes after talks to save this pact failed in moscow said that the u.s. has been negotiating in bad faith what do they mean by that. well first of all the russian side has been accusing the u.s.
1:06 pm
of actually being in violation of the i.n.f. treaty itself and also they have said very much that the u.s. has been kind of communicating with russia in the language of ultimatums and that they're not listening they cite for example a meeting in mid january between russian and u.s. officials where russia said look we'll show you this missile if you want and the u.s. flat out denied that the message from moscow really being look we are open for dialogue we're open for talking and the u.s. is not listening so it's not our fault only some people have speculated that the this move from the u.s. is actually aimed at china you know not part of this treaty not bound by its rules and apparently building these neat medium range missiles is that you share there in russia well russia's been making sure to present a kind of united front almost with china in some ways even conducting joint military exercises last year but it is clear that china is also
1:07 pm
a threat to russia and we can see that when it comes to the i.n.f. treaty as well in fact russia has been saying similar things to what the u.s. is saying now for years putin has threatened as early as two thousand and seven to leave the i.n.f. treaty if other countries were not included in that treaty and he specifically mentioned china so some people here say that perhaps this u.s. exit is actually playing into russian hands that russia can basically say look it's the u.s. that's via that's that's leaving this treaty that lets leaving get another international treaty but actually this is very much playing into what they want as well all right emily shriveling reporting for us from moscow thank you emily. staying in russia and residents of a town south of moscow are facing harassment and even prison sentences to raise awareness of a local garbage dump they say is making them sick the waste is trucked in from the

1:09 pm
and they believe landfill guidelines are not being followed they fear for the health of their families and friends when someone doesn't like the fact that we and other activists are demonstrating against the waste disposal and the building of a new waste containment plant we're fighting for our houses some of us have houses only one kilometer from the waste disposal zone where trash is continually being dumped. in the evening the activists meet in a cafe. lawyers advised them. they discussed that next steps they refused to give up despite the secret service's attempts to scare them and it's not just simply it's all connected to the protests against garbage dumps it's been a problem for a while and no one seems to be solving it. you know most of them while we were shooting this report in column a week to wish you'd a way. of. the police took our possible details of.
1:10 pm

1:12 pm
a profit for the last fiscal year the announcement marks the first time the troubled bank was in the black since two thousand and fourteen according to the bank's numbers georgia bank made a profit of around three hundred forty million euros and the positive numbers are slightly below analyst expectations but still market turnaround for the banks fortunes they can raise speculation about a possible merger with germany smaller but many say it was still be too small and too weak for competition our financial correspondent paul christian brit's is listening in her husband listening in that georgia bank's annual press conference in frankfurt i spoke to him earlier and asked him about the talk about possible merger with bank. yeah that's that's an issue that has come up because deutsche bank's performance really isn't measuring up to international standards if you compare it and especially in german politics german finance minister all of shuls seems to favor that idea of creating a national champion
1:13 pm
a one big national band bank that can. compete in the international game but it is it is very unlikely that putting together two weak banks will actually create this kind of national champion investors don't like the idea the bank itself doesn't like the idea its plan is to come to its own strength instead on the one hand you have the bank reporting a profit for the last fiscal year but it's also facing a number of scandals how is this all infected affecting investors. well c.e.o. christians living has inherited a lot of these scandals a lot. came before he even took office earlier last year last year but of course there is still a risk in in the books they addressed this here at the press conference actually today going through the various scandals that are still on the agenda that is the. money laundering issue with the bank there is still with something connected with
1:14 pm
the panama papers where we saw a raid last year in the fall of last year that also that the bank also felt in its in its earnings because that was missed opportunities and then there's the comics scandal all of these were addressed it was pointed out that they have been there for a long time but doesn't really see a risk there a financial risk it doesn't see its own wrongdoing trying to calm investors there of course overall what was the feeling you got there at the press conference how is your framing its performance in twenty eighteen and is it realistic. christians say is it being made a really strong appearance you know appearing very confident and saying that against all odds the bank has managed to reach its goals mainly by cutting costs but the bank has also lost some of its income through that. despite cutting six thousand jobs for example and so the stakes weren't or the stakes were high but the
1:15 pm
goals weren't high to begin with and so really a performance isn't that great especially when you compare it internationally. made three hundred forty millions in profit if you compare that to j.p. morgan they made thirty billion that's one hundred times more and that just doesn't just can't compare all right our financial correspondent let's for us in frankfurt thanks so much. now the e.u. and japan have created the world's biggest free trade zone it could save european countries billions and duties every year the two sides have agreed to remove remove almost all tariffs on trade in a move that will affect six hundred thirty five million people jeff stuff has been described as the world's largest now what happens when development and growth is concentrated in cities and not the countryside in ethiopia rapid urbanization is especially visible in the capital addis ababa the city has seen an influx of more
