donald trump has said that he wants to begin talks to agree on a new arms control treaty. it's the end of months of speculation and tension secretary of state mike pump aoe has officially signaled that the arms control treaty which has helped keep european safe could soon and if russia does not return to full and verifiable compliance with the treaty within the six month period by verifiably destroying its i n f violating missiles there launchers and associated equipment the treaty will terminate this is the weapon that the u.s. is talking about the russian built as a c. eight a missile system washington and many experts believe has a range of more than five hundred kilometers which would mean it's a violation of the i.n.f. treaty. but the kremlin says it never intended to violate the agreement a russian foreign ministry spokesperson says the u.s. ultimatum is part of a strategy to dodge its international legal obligations for many european

countries the end of the i.n.f. treaty brings back memories of the cold war and it stokes fears of a new arms race the german chancellor angela merkel called on both sides to continue talks still insist god us first it's clear that russia has violated the treaty and that's why we must talk to russia on behalf of germany foreign minister haiku mass and myself will do everything to make possible again in the next six months. the agreements between the u.s. and the former soviet union banned all land based nuclear missiles with a range between five hundred and five and a half thousand kilometers that marked an end to decades of nuclear instability during the cold war. experts now fear the end of the i.n.f. treaty could not only further damage the transatlantic relationship but also threaten the future of other arms control agreements. now to break down the

situation after that announcement from the u.s. secretary of state did abuse moscow correspondent emily sherwin spoke to defense analyst felgenhauer in moscow the u.s. secretary of state has just said that russia has six months to return to compliance with the i.n.f. treaty do you think there's likely to be any movement from the russian side on that neither the united states nor russia seem to have the political will or the desire to maintain their so that means basically. but both sides are very active right now in pushing the book for the demise of the i and therefore in each other. and that's mostly what they're going to do in the next six months this in the pushing of from the demise of the earth so what can we expect now is there likely to be a new arms race between russia and the us then well there will be no immediate

ponza race russia has the missiles that can be poor and now we go eat well not now in six months we do it when the treaty is gone and it makes perfect sense for russia to do that it's basically more or less the same cruise missiles that russia has developed for its surface ships and submarines so it makes perfect sense for russia to deploy some of these cruise missiles on board shares the united states on the other side does not have right now any missiles that can be poorly on land so there will be no immediate arms race after six months but the arms race was going to take it takes time because it's a very expensive and time consuming an effort consuming process to produce new weapons but the possibility of a big war in europe was very much present during the cold war and when this possibility is going to be real in the coming years when the german foreign

minister met with his counterpart sergey lavrov in moscow he said that there could be talks on widening arms control treaties to include countries like china do you think that russia could be open to that right now everyone knows that's not possible china is not going to surrender its weapons something years ago russia was saying in zero eight actually that there should be a broader agreement and then there was even in the united nations jar and declaration put forward by america and russia that there should be a kind of international and china said no way and right now russia is not going to go again. china which is for russia is a very important. nation with china and this cooperation partnership. is the more dominant right no nation so no this is not going to work at all now to some of the other stories making news around the world today another

a return to profit demonstrates that deutsche bank is on the right path now we need to take the next step will continue to cut costs in twenty nineteen and invest in growth like you see it invokes in this year but it's hard to see where that growth will come from is facing weakness in its traditional bull walks of investment banking and wealth and bond management. and germany's biggest lender still seems to dancing from one scandal to the next last autumn deutsche is offices were raided as part of a money laundering investigation and is facing renewed scrutiny in the u.s. over its business dealings with president donald trump. maybe that's why do it should last saving didn't comment on profit projections for this year on a possible merger with germany's second largest bank come it spun. the e.u.'s pan of created the world's largest free trade zone that could save european

anything illegal it was horrible very discomforting humiliating all this just because i'm fighting for our rights. this isn't the only time the secret service has confiscated computers hard drives mobile telephones and credit cards the same thing happened to fourteen other activists one of them was even taken into custody they have one thing in common they're protesting moscow's disposal of most of its waste in the city of and they believe landfill guidelines are not being followed they fear for the health of their families and friends. 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 advise them. they discuss the next steps they refused to give up despite the secret service's attempts to scare them and this was 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 reporting columnar week to wish you'd away. from us the police took our passport details. it came out of nowhere the police have put one activist behind bars they have confiscated the computers of fourteen activists the activists have been pushing back against mountains of garbage brought from moscow to this small town truckloads of trash from the capital every single day the activists and thousands of residents were and are worried about the health of their families. the world's biggest annual human

a close with a concert being crowned the new continental champions after they beat japan in the final and a limo talkie is here from sports to talk more about that only my look qatar they'd never even been in a final before so how surprised are you to see them take on the title like you said no one no one expected this let alone win by a scoreline of three to one against pre-tournament favorites japan so that you know what i have to remind people this is football and football sometimes this is the stuff that you know dreams are made of and could talk get their fairy tale ending huge celebrations in doha right now they expect they expect that to last the entire weekend and you know what it wasn't an easy journey for qatar they'd be powerhouses south korea then japan and they conceded just one goal all tournaments and you know the saying defense wins championships but i have to point out it was to toss in attack that caught the imagination of all of these for our fans now apparently the

first goal from on the way as i leave it was a pretty stunning so he was kind of the star of the show a jaw dropper i'm telling you it was and there's a reason why he stole the limelight in the twelfth minute when that goal came it was an acrobatic overhead kick it was a beauty it was. oh number nine for him it made him there you go those pictures don't even do it justice but it was a beauty and it makes him the tournaments top goalscorer of all time with nine he broke the previous record that was eight that was set in one thousand nine hundred six and it's one of the best gold at the asian cup and i expect to see this go on in not a future highlight reel of these top ten goals top goals of twenty nineteen and beyond to the asian cup it doesn't get as much coverage as some of the other regional cops right now but how would you rate the success of the tournament this year overall it was a decent tournaments a good tournament i mean it was a lot more inclusive because the format had changed from sixteen teams to now

twenty four that always means of course smaller teams like the likes of the philippines where does it tie in and you know usually struggle to qualify they able to participate but on the other hand it was a bit disappointing because you know favorites beat pre-tournament favorites like japan defending champions australia and south korea just you know we had quite a disappointing tournaments thanks for wrapping up for us talking sports thanks. now to the big screen where portraying extreme poverty in an authentic way can be a big challenge for movie directors but a new lebanese film is up to that challenge apparently is the story of a boy who takes his parents to court for bringing him into a world of extreme hardship and the film is nominated for the foreign language oscar. lebanese director baccy found her main actor in the poorest neighborhood of beirut zeno fear was seven years old when his family fled the war in syria he's

never been able to go to school it was a collaborative. process to really capture his truth so it was it was an ongoing process the whole time of adapting to his personality to his way of telling things twopenny him is a fictional story told against a very realistic backdrop zayn plays a boy he's estimated to be around twelve years old his desperately poor parents had no money to register his birth so he has no identity papers even a birth certificate he wants up in court fighting against his fight. but did he get. born into a world of suffering without the slightest chance of getting out in flashbacks the film shows the miserable conditions that zayn and his siblings grow up in his

parents deal drugs to eke out a living and they make their children work as well but once again realizes that his parents are forcing his eleven year old sister to get married he runs away from home in a rage gave. up on the odyssey that follows he meets right here she's also an undocumented illegal immigrant but she gets shelter to zayn and shows him tenderness and caring but one day she doesn't return home and zane must look after not only himself but right heals baby too it's a heartbreaking film shocking in its authenticity which gives it almost documentary like quality. it. how did we get to this point how did we get to the point where we allow. such

injustice to work those kids you know that you find everywhere around you and i decided to just tell that story and. make you as a viewer maybe a little cool when you decide to look because this is what we usually do unfortunately being seen has changed the real designs life thanks to the film and the united nations refugee agency he and his family have been able to resettle in norway. and all i'm going to go to school there and have a new life a better one. zangs real story has ended well through his appearance in a film that get someday you'll see in. our next story is about bauhaus a design style that originated in germany one hundred years ago it's characterized by the motto form follows function with buildings and objects defined by clean

lines and an absence of unnecessary flourishes bauhaus was revolutionary at the time and its influence architects around the world one major example can actually be found in nigeria at the university of initiated by about house co-founder. if a in southwestern nigeria. campus for the university of you face is open area and well suited to the tropical climate and it makes a statement for the bauhaus opened in one nine hundred sixty two just two years after nigeria gained independence the university became a symbol for the fledgling democracy back then modernism was progressive and today the ideas about how stood for have a future and they still provide answers to the question how do we want to live for instance in lagos nigeria's largest city which changes by the minute. you know she know as an architect and a child of modernism she studied and lived in london if it remains an inspiration

for her. when we had monism comment in the years of any post-colonialism the architects that came of the day. and not the architecture that has really formed the structure of the city of on the modernism of the forty's fifty's and sixty's still a lot of texture. shows you know she no one has returned to her homeland today she lives and works in lagos she loves the city's wild and creative side. lego's just grows and grows today it's africa's second largest city and one of the world's most populous somewhere between colonialism and modernism nigerian architects are creating their own design language one that seeks to meet the challenges of everyday life. increasingly their focus is on the mega-cities

what was considered as african tenets of being within the rules and not necessarily mean need to be realistic and design more appropriately for the city that we live in we have to face the fact that in the city of some people some people say twenty two we need to live in smaller and smaller spaces. like a molecular and new ultramodern and market district phase one of this project is already complete to see if you know what is constructing minimalist housing units similar to ones built around the globe architecture must adapt to changing lifestyles we need to be forward thinking we always need to reflect on. on how living in a city is evolving and changing i mean the whole world has changed and particularly living in smaller spaces being more practical the demographic is changing how people live the family units is being redefined you know and we need to make sure that we produce an architecture that suite flex that. functional economic and space

saving so this is the start of a two bedroom apartment so it's open plan kitchen it's really about i think efficient living. apartments like this one are still a rarity and lagos built for millennia aren't home much. everything has a purpose. there's no ornamentation in this property we have use plain color to reveal the form and i think it's been quite successful. it's a stark contrast to other aspirational districts popping up with their pompous colonial style structures ornate pillars and decor otieno considers them a passing fad. caution is always a period based there's no guarantee that this building in another ten years will be an eyesore because it's got too many big buildings need to be timeless even the

it's still a beautiful building it's timeless buildings can't afford to be fashionable. sharon's university of effect is timeless this architectural milestone is a building with character so africa is also part of dollhouse imagine the stuff and international exhibition project that celebrates the bauhaus school its legacy and its capacity for promoting trans cultural exchange. toso you know she know well is one of a new generation of nigerian architects meeting here looking for answers to pressing questions and discovering how the bauhaus remains relevant today. trust us for what's needed by all hill so vital to this day and keep it away is that it follows very basic ideas so it poses questions like how do we want to live in the future. and a reminder of the top story that we're following for you right now u.s. secretary of state mike pompei oh says the trouble ministration is the spending its

participation in the key nuclear disarmament act with russia and the west will withdraw completely if moscow does not end of ledge violations of the path within six months president trump says he wants a new treaty. you're watching news from berlin don't forget you can get all the latest news and information around the clock on our web site that's g.w. dot com i'll be back in a couple minutes with the debt. hey
