his music is better than to give you. sounds good. video game music starts february twenty fifth on d w. this is deja vu news live from berlin europe responds to american demands to take back their hottest fighters from syria germany france and britain saying they'll be working together to deal with some eight hundred geodes and their families to join the ranks of so-called islamic state the caliphate syria but they're angry at a twitter ultimatum from the u.s.

president on the issue also coming up. five years after the protest song yes my donna toppled ukraine's government yes has the country changed for the better. and saudi arabia's crown prince lands in pakistan bearing plenty of gifts riyadh will be getting investments for some twenty billion dollars giving islam a bot of badly needed economic boost and an ally in this rivalry with india. i'm brian thomas thanks so much for being with us germany says it will be extraordinarily difficult to implement american demands to repatriate some eight hundred european jihad is now being detained in syria the country's foreign minister said that germany along with france and britain would be working together on the thorny issue of how to handle nationals who fought for so. ported islamic

states of all so-called caliphate now that's after a twitter broadside from the u.s. president threatening to release captured fighters unless europe but some on trial . jihadists on the march in syria these images from the fall of rock in twenty fourteen. islamic state has since been defeated here and across nearly the entire country many fighters are dead and more have been taken prisoner recently the u.s. backed kurdish led syrian democratic forces or s.d.f. besieged the city of the last remaining iowa stronghold the kurds say hundreds of foreign fighters remain in kurdish prisons their wives and children live in camps in northern syria the s.d.f. have long complained that european states are refusing to take back their own citizens u.s. president donald trump has echoed those concerns and has even threatened to release the jihadists he tweeted the united states is asking britain france germany and

other european allies to take back over eight hundred isis fighters that we captured in syria and put them on trial the caliphate is ready to fall the alternative is not a good one and that we will be forced to release them europe hasn't yet come up with a clear response over the future of foreign fighters and their families. this i guess militant from germany is being held in a detention center in syria like others he'd like to return home but berlin hasn't said what it intends to do with him also unclear the fate of the fighters wives some of them say they don't regret joining the terror group but now wish to return i don't regret it because. it's changed me of the past. so. you know the right of my husband i wouldn't. have my kids. i did have a good time they said they will take him. to

prosecute or rehabilitate the question of how to deal with returning fighters and their families will remain a major challenge for european countries. and for transatlantic relations well defined and more i'm joined by our political correspondent kate brady in the studio good morning kate i kate let's start with a twitter from broadside from president trump does the president have a point here well it certainly is an unreasonable request that he's made to these three european countries and of course you know the u.s. backed syria democratic forces they've captured eight hundred five no the six hundred women and more than a thousand children now so i say this isn't a completely reasonable request as coals as well for these i.a.s. fighters from u.k. france and germany to be brought to justice and put on trial and of course they are the security situation in the area as it is particular in syria right now because uncertainty over the security situation in those areas has increased and so there

is also this air as well that if they are released then these fighters could return to go up and who knows where they might go and what they might be capable of carrying out ok on the one hand we have the security issue eight hundred fighters than then we have six hundred. women and children as well large numbers there so there's a humanitarian aspect as well what are german and european officials going to do well sir the german foreign minister he said that it would be extremely difficult to every patriot these i ask fighters and of course their wives and children as well but under the law if someone has german citizenship then they are entitled to return to germany but the difficulty at the moment is that germany has severed diplomatic ties away with the syrian government and also doesn't recognize the syrian kurdish autonomous region so it is difficult at the moment or would be if

they were to repatriate the or try to repatriate these fighters it would be difficult to confirm the identities for example. we've already seen in iraq some german i s fighters have been put on trial that but there's a very different circumstances so it would indeed be a difficult task but of course it is also they request to bring these i.a.'s fighters to justice and that's something that we can hear right now from the german green party foreign policy spokesperson for the fall along those lines and he's just fads who last germany to take back their own citizens off truly it's not like they would be set free and they would be put on trial for their crimes but the way mr trump addressed this threatening to send terrorists our way that's the language we usually hear from terrorists it's hostile ok we have the green foreign policy spokesperson there saying that there would be trials can we expect trials then of

the returning jihad as in germany and in france and britain as well exactly so what we've heard so far from the state countries is that this would be a joint effort but again european governments have been wary of repatriating citizens who have gone to fight for in syria and iraq for example so the big question is whether they will be able to repatriate them in the first place in order to bring them to trial so of course that wouldn't be completely out the question but it is first ensuring that these people can be identified as identification can be confirmed and of course we're seeing as well already this being several western countries including the u.k. those listed by trump they've introduced laws that have enabled them to revoke citizenship for citizens that have been naturalized for example said than they've been able to remove themselves from those citizens so. it is will be dealt with on an individual level but we can also see a joint effort here as well from germany france and the u.k.

some joint efforts along with some differences in how they approached us to pray thank you very much in those legal and practical issues on this thank you very much . well iran's foreign minister mohammad hogg zarif has condemned calls from washington for the european union to abandon the iran nuclear deal speaking at the munich security conference here tuesday u.s. of meddling in regional politics remarks rounded out a contentious in a conference where the german chancellor and the u.s. vice president advanced opposing visions on iran and opposing visions of the direction of their nation's foreign policies what it has today morphed iran's foreign minister mohammad sorry for sharply criticize the u.s. and dismissed vice president mike pence this recent demand that the e.u. withdraw from the nuclear treaty with iran underage mr pence repeated this course. when he added again to be demanded that europe must join the united states

in undermining its own security and breaking its up because. but german foreign minister assured his iranian counterpart in direct talks in munich that germany and the you want to stick to the agreement as long as you around us the e.u. wants to enable trade with iran but serif suggested europe has to do more. with europe. needs to be ridding to get it. if it wants to swim against the dangerous part of the us unit after this i european leaders are already feeling the pressure from the us and mike pence of the n.t. during the security conference. the time has come for our european partners to stop undermining u.s. sanctions against this murderous revolutionary regime. chancellor mackler refused

to withdraw from the treaty germany feels that it is the only way to money iran's nuclear program here's you've got it once i get my do we help our common cause our common aim of containing the damaging or difficult influences of iran by withdrawing from the one remaining agreement couldn't even hold on or do we help it more by keeping the small anchor we have in order to maybe exert pressure in other areas. and welcome the european commitment but called for more action he added that the nuclear treaty is appropriate and the best that can be achieved how much longer. now for a look at some of the other stories making the news this morning the german army is investigating an exchange of fire between its un peacekeeping troops in mali and allied soldiers west of go the minister said one of its convoys returned fire after being shot at on saturday night incident left the mali and soldier critically

wounded. yemeni government on who the rebels have agreed to start withdrawing forces from the key port city of who died the united nations described that deal as important progress talks led by a danish general met with both sides. in the moment five european lawmakers are being denied entry into venezuela after being invited by the self proclaimed president one white go other group says their passports have been seized or into the spanish roman tarion as on saul's ponce they have not been provided with a reason for the expulsion. or ukraine today marks the fifth anniversary of the deadly mind on protests in the capital kiev the last of the stray sions were triggered when then president viktor yushchenko which backed out of a deal signed to bring that asian closer to the e.u. . the protests turned violent in february of two thousand and fourteen when security forces moved in to clear out demonstrators the clashes that followed left

more than one hundred people dead present coverage then fled to russia clearing the way for a new leadership. or for a look back at those tumultuous events connally met up with a young woman who was just sixteen when she was wounded on protesting. scenes of chaos as government forces moved into its might on square trying to force protesters to leave the spot where they had been camping out for more than two months. among them was sixteen year old victoria roman chook her parents thought she was hundreds of kilometers away at art college instead she'd become a regular at the protests on the mind on on the day police attempted to clear the square victoria her friends were out in the streets in front of their makeshift headquarters again now that you know i didn't immediately understand what was happening suddenly there was an explosion another flight suddenly everything went blurry and i was out. an improvised grenade covered in scrap metal and shards of

pottery had exploded at her feet victoria suffered more than fifty flesh wounds but she couldn't go to hospital because police were arresting for testers in the wards . instead she ended up in an improvised field hospital in the smaller street her parents still had no idea she was in q let alone whom did that is until ukrainian t.v. crew appeared. to gamble a much to my face was covered in bandages so that no one would recognise me but one of my mum's friends recognised this birthmark on my neck in the t.v. report that's how our parents found out. meanwhile tensions were increasing further as protesters began a counter-offensive drawing of a closer to the government district police change their tactics and live ammunition came into play. casualty numbers were rising fast and soon dozens of protesters were being killed every day among them was all except the copying or better before

all the shooting got underway he came up to me one morning and put his arms around me and said go home you don't have to be here. i'm going to put that if. i'm by the end of the week more than a hundred people have lost their lives images like these went around the world. present in a coach's position has become untenable within days he was gone to russia. five years on from the does victoria still think the protests had a last impact on the country. by she says i see all the changes these are changes we really need this country is finally being built yes maybe not as fast as we had hoped or expected but it's happening many even form of protest to say it was all in vain two months protesting and they thought they'd wake up in a new european country with better wages that's not how life works to move by.

let's go straight to kiev now and our correspondent nick collie nick good morning to you how typical is victoria story where there are many people her age involved in the protests back at them by don back then good morning well she certainly was one of the youngest protests out on the square whether she was the youngest or not is a moot point but definitely people in their late teens and early twenty's were very much in evidence also among those who lost their lives in terms of being a woman well definitely there were there was a big female presence on the my done and i think interesting there in the report the story she told us of one of the protesters the male protests is telling her to go home to get safety something that she ignored you mentioned the the one hundred people that lost their lives during those protests i'm nic has anyone been held to account for those killings. this is definitely

a sort of open wound for lots of people in ukraine the top level people who ordered this violence not one single person has been convicted for that lots of court cases still going on five years later present which was convicted in his absence treason charges but nothing more specific than that in terms of people who pulled the trigger well we've seen two convictions with custodial sentences a few more suspended sentences but it's very difficult to tell and reconstruct who was where whose guns are pointing where and for many today this will be a big disappointment that more progress has been made nic talking about progress being made can you give us some perspective here is ukraine a fundamentally different place today compared to the protests five years. i think is one thing you can definitely say and that is the fear of the state and of its security services that is definitely gone civil society has occupied

a big space in the heart of ukrainian life and i think there's little sign that it's going to be reversed in terms of the reforms we're ukraine seeing a kind of overwhelming array of different reforms happening in parallel with the mixed results some successes in education and health notably less success in fighting top level corruption we still to see high level conviction for corruption but i think very important to remember here that just a few weeks after president basically chased out of the country russia did an expose. on the conflict and began we saw more than a million refugees so that has been a huge strain of seals or distraction from the reforms that people were calling for the economy for us this morning thanks so much for the interview and for your for for us today. this is deja vu news live from berlin still to come on the show fall in property prices mumbai is india heading into a real estate crisis. because nigeria's elections have been postponed but that

amid high tensions in the region india and saudi arabia's arch rival iran both bordering pakistan have accused islamabad of backing militant groups which have carried out bloody suicide attacks on their soil in recent days. well staying in south asia mumbai has been india's boom town for years now and if you invested in real estate there well you did pretty well at least that's been the case until fairly recently something's changed back in twenty seventeen real estate prices there fell by five percent in the last year and twenty eight thousand it was about seven percent the dip there are so what's happened will the next global real estate crisis be made in india here's a report from mumbai. the property consultant. he has been in the business for a long time he was always said that you couldn't go wrong with real estate in mumbai but now apartments are getting harder to sell for a good price at least. yet it is still a century l.s.d.

and also as i did this and hold people maybe a feeling of myself a bit in a few properties which i expected would give me. be able to walk away from the market but they will say that i played the jaded in a couple of cases maybe slated or that what a headboard and what a list it. the skyline of mumbai one skyscraper after another has been erected in recent years money was plentiful but the boom is over according to of in one done from the analysis company knight frank real estate industry has gone through a lot of tough times of late and we've seen that in the numbers in the general feel of the market place surprise falls up big time across the board you know all the major cities of india have witnessed a kind of prize fall on an average you know ten to fifteen percent price falls of big companies there are many reasons prices have taken

a hit over the past year for example channeling cash into the construction sector has become more difficult because of changes in the law planning areas are also a factor too many look surely in too few affordable apartments were built and then there was the partial insolvency of the major financier ireland fs the chain reaction among india's shadow banking sector was only prevented by government intervention. sharkey's deep the consequences of felt by all those who were planning new projects in the past the real estate developer protests and garvey was able to sell his products in the shell phase he then used the money to finance the completion now it's more difficult to get capital business is getting harder. if you look at because of constructing a modern humans left into the business ironically new buildings are actually agent be needed in mumbai because prices continue to fold by is preferred to wait and see

a reminder that nigeria's problems haven't gone anywhere. or not much is bringing her message to this here so on but she's not campaigning for herself or any politicians rather she wants nigerians to become more politically active. you are less. than you want to see in my area. of. the. corruption runs deep in nigerian politics but says it's not the only problem the next government will inherit. it worries me i feel that there are people who have a vested interest in how bad my dear is the day we do we'll do the best to ensure that people are noughts aware enough to liberate themselves with the effing game that's to main drive beyond her efforts to encourage social dialogue wherever she
