first policies and could lead to washington imposing punitive tariffs on mainly german automakers. is a new trade war brewing between the united states and germany the u.s. department of commerce has reportedly been telling the white house that european car imports threaten u.s. national security that would be our president trump needs to impose new special duties those would hit the german car industry hardest it's by far the biggest european car exporter to the u.s. trump himself is keeping a low profile on the subject. i love tariffs but i also love them to negotiate the u.s. is preparing for battle there's talk in washington of up to twenty five percent special tariffs on european cars they could be levied within the next ninety days german industry is sounding the alarm. at the moment exports are weakening anyway and german jobs would also be adversely affected by u.s.

protective tariffs on german automobile exports exports. american jobs would most likely be affected to the german carmakers association says it's manufacturers employing over one hundred thousand people in the u.s. in over three hundred factories they say the accusation that german cars threaten u.s. national security is in comprehensible others go even further and say the entire automobile industry in the u.s. is in trouble including domestic manufacturers it harms the american economy by increasing the cost of what would be else. makes it harder to get out of the large . you're looking at job loss in every district in america killers backers words resellers u.s. studies suggest up to four hundred thousand jobs in the entire american auto industry could be at risk but trump appears determined to use card tariffs at least

as a means of exerting pressure for example to force europeans to make concessions on other controversial issues such as. and gas imports. ok what kind of tariffs are we looking at here to talk about that i'm joined by stephen beers lee from d.w. business good morning steven do we know anything about the tariff sort of we're looking at what kind of toll would they take on on european car makers and we don't know the specifics whether it's just could be like vehicles where this could be heavy vehicles what exactly we're talking about what we know is what president trump has talked about in the past which is cars european cars memory said he didn't want to see german auto brands going up and down fifth avenue in new york so we know that he's focusing on especially these german brands particular european vehicles what kind of told they would take it's going to be significant as the piece mentioned german car brands particular would be affected because they are by far the biggest producer in europe both right and b.m.w. done lower thirty four billion euros in sales through exports to the u.s. in recent years that could be have to courting two recent studies that's tremendous

we're talking about some big numbers here and any time we dress an issue like this is always concerns about the american car cami about a boomerang effect that this could bring down the american economy as well right i mean i think as the piece mentioned very well i mean there's so much these car companies are so thoroughly tied into the u.s. economy as well and they've taken greater efforts in recent months to integrate themselves even further seeing that these tariffs were on the horizon you know volkswagen obviously huge plants in chattanooga i believe in b.m.w. in spartanburg south carolina that is actually the number one producer of b.m.w. cars for export is them spartanburg so the company as a whole suffers then what happens at that plant also look at car dealers these are american car dealers who are selling these german vehicles european vehicles for chrysler brand volvo also they're going to be affected when suddenly the price tag goes up how many cars are they going to sell what does that mean for their bottom line for their families so everyone is integrated in this together in a large sense was going to see what would happen ok to the u.s.

or yours and keep people effect on both sides a lot of the president indicating that the terrorist could be you could be a tool that he wants to use and. trade talks with the europeans what's the state of those trade talks the trade talks right now is that they are in progress from who's the e.u. trade commissioner has sort of delivered a framework to e.u. member states saying this is sort of what we're talking about these trade tariffs obviously heighten the language there heightens through the feeling around this i mean this is a bludgeon the trump likes to use as we've seen with the u.s. trying to trying to use well is it going to heighten things so much that it's going to make them worse that's a possibility especially if there are counter tariffs which then could get into the global economy as well supply chains of course are tied all over the place so so you facts and we do have a template with china to a certain degree stephen thanks very much the visa beardsley from the business will be back later this hour to talk more about this issue well another topic causing friction between europe and the u.s. what to do with european nationals captured fighting for so-called islamic state in

syria germany says it will be working with france and britain on american demands to repatriate some eight hundred european jihad is now that's after a twitter broadside from the president threatening to release captured fighters unless europe puts them 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 backcross the last remaining i-s. 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 asked 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 changed me the most. so. you know my husband i wouldn't like you. know my kids. i did have a good time. he said that. to

prosecute or rehabilitate the question of how to deal with returning as fighters and their families will remain a major challenge for european countries. let's check in now with some of the other stories making the news this hour the yemeni government and who threw rebels have agreed to start withdrawing forces from the key port city of. united nations describe the deal as important progress the talks were led by the danish general who met with both sides. officials in the disputed indian region of kashmir say at least four indian soldiers have been killed in a shoot out with no incidents and in troops are carrying out searches in the region after a suicide bomber killed some forty soldiers last week india has blamed neighboring pakistan for the attack acts that has recalled us envoy in india amidst the rising tensions. five years the lawmakers are being denied entry into venezuela after

being invited there by self-proclaimed president juan white oh the group says their passports have been ceased according to the spanish emmy p.s. bonds also ponce they have not been provided with the reason for the expulsion. this is the news still to come on the show empowerment or exploitation uganda's tourist minister saying the country should showcase its curvy women to attract tourists. but first ukraine this week marks the fifth anniversary of the deadly mind on protests in the capital you have been asked in the stray sions were triggered when then president viktor yushchenko vetch backed out of a deal designed to bring the country closer to the european union it turned violent in february of two thousand and fourteen when security forces moved in to clear out demonstrators the clashes the followed left more than one hundred people dead prez and young coverage then fled to russia clearing the way for

a new political leadership. or for a look back at those to us events to the commonly met up with a young woman who was just sixteen when she was wounded protesting. scenes of chaos as government forces moved into words 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 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. here below 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 excited like a peanut butter 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 in the time 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 might of does victoria still think the protests had a last impact on the country. you can buy 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 i. let's go straight to kiev now and our correspondent nick carley nick good morning to you how typical is victoria story where there are many people her age involved

in the protests back at the bite on back. good morning well she certainly was one of the youngest. 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 and i think interesting there in the report the story she told us of one of the protesters the protest is telling her to go home to get safety something that she. you mentioned the the one hundred people lost their lives during those protests has anyone been held to account for those killings. and 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. and for many today this will be a big disappointment that more progress has been made. 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 ago. i think there's one thing you can definitely say and that is that the fear of the state. 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 a proper high level conviction for corruption. but i think very important to remember here just a few weeks after president bush basically chased out of the country russia did an expose. on the conflict began we saw more than a million refugees so that has been a huge strain of seal's a 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. it's to uganda now and that country's tourism minister has caused an outcry after saying the country should showcase curvy women in order to attract more visitors and a plus sized beauty pageant called miss curvy uganda godfrey quanah said that full figured women were quote the story to sell his comments have been called degrading

and a petition is being launched to get the pageant scrapped or correspond julius gumba talk to both sides of this controversy. one of these ladies could soon be crowned miss covey uganda the beauty contest this chick to the four plus sized queens with the base just buddies and i'm going to over two hundred women of applied you must make a vicious those ladies know themselves that is the truth when i say win when you ask me what my someone do what size are you going to consider we're considering. the idea to showcase women with competitions has been fronted by uganda stewart is a minister good for it she wind at the launch of the contest the ministers say the beauty queens could help attract foreign visitors and boost tourism tourism is going to the boat and smoked out he would. do look do we really did i

watch out for. women rights groups are furious and they have gone to court to block the pigeoned for allegedly insulting women. reduce women. were reduced and therefore read one quarter when the. one. gets a hold of on the internet uganda's miscavige has been made with anger and approval and it's a similar picture on the streets for some the minister is a champion of tourism promotion for others he's objectifying women. i think it's an excellent idea because over the years there have been really promoting the slender sizes you find in a dozen schools are trying to take a lot of medication to lose weight and this is not healthy for us they're supposed to accept us is that the minister behind this idea an eternity for jihad because this is not good he's got a wife can meet present here is

a tourist attraction enough to get around with we are being portrayed like reg just cheap women like meat on sale out there in there in the international market that's a very bad and i totally disagree and even feel happy that that given the plus size people an opportunity it's just like any other beauty pageant but it's only that this one is only for the plus size. facing the backlash the minister denies that she's a sions of using women to attract travelers yes towards the parliament that it's a misunderstanding like that special i think. we. go. with a to misunderstanding or not and despite the controversy there are no plans to cancel

the contest of the cards. we're turning now to the story of alexander from humboldt the nineteenth century scientific superstar early environmentalist it turns out the german explorers expeditions famously took him to south america in the galapagos islands the german president is following in his footsteps as part of a tour of the region he used the occasion to draw attention to plastic pollution the struggling the island's fragile ecosystems. the volunteers searching for plastic garbage every day they clean the beaches of the galapagos they show the german president plastic bottles that have made it all the way over from china from across the ocean. nature's interconnectedness means garbage from the other side of the planet can threaten the paradise here.

steinmeier says he wants governments to make better efforts to deal with the issue of plastic waste. in the. event is over i think he continued this way then by two whether you will have more plastic in the oceans then fish that's why we must change our thinking that is missing the. it's the first official visit to the galapagos islands by a german president steinmeier is following in the footsteps of the legendary german researcher alexander from home bought more than two centuries ago home bought studies took him to latin america where he recognized the destructive effect humans can have on their environment plastic is just one example thrown out elsewhere it's threatening the ecosystem here as. if accumulates in fish sea lions and seals eat the plastic garbage and that's how it returns to the food chain. in the not get it so it understanding the world in order to preserve it that's what humble thought here in ecuador the researcher climbed

a volcano to take measurements and gain insight into nature in one thousand and two he set off from this hut to explore the understandable kaino. past president is retracing as he voices support for protecting the environment. ok we're trying to football now the latest round of bonus league matches lima hotel the sports with us to talk about that good morning we want to talk about of course the standings with dortmund and bar munich but first what about the big something that's frankfurt faced off against third place and i having one of the best season in decades you know who last is having a great season frankfurt but they have been punching a bit be no they wait so let's take a look at what happened when two european hopefuls knocked once for. dominated the early going torgan as firing a warning shot in the eighth minute frankfurt allowed back to create a series of chances and it's forcing kevin trap to make his best save of the first

half. frankfurt didn't even fire on target until the thirty ninth minute for the cost it denied by yon zama then with the last kick of the first half danny de costa to open the scoring for the hosts i cross to controlling unit time to go as man's corner and hitting the target. after that i instruct gave lot back few opportunities on to re bits almost made it to nil his shot going just why i frankfurt seem to be running out of steam though and to zacharie up pounced on a defensive blackout to pull the sides level i try getting the hands of the ball but on able to stop it which i yes it dream it should have netted the winner for gladbach as time expired but he bounced the ball over the net one won the final score and both sides will be feeling they missed

a chance to come away with more. as exactly at this feeling. of wanting to come away with more that's been the story for frankfurt lately you know they're without a win in five games on the positives they haven't lost either it just been one frustrating draw after another after another lehman other two making a push for european spot is leave a cruise. so the best way to describe eva cruz right now is to say to talk about the boss effect and you know we started don't last season we know team start of really great but we're just not too sure how this is going to end with they have a couzin and you know but give credit to bosh i mean the team has adapted to his attacking style of football he has the players to execute his ideas and why don't we take a look at this bosh effect that's the talk of the town right now. the grass seems greener under pace

a boss who once again through the kitchen sink at his opposition five attacking players started for the hosts and it showed the eighteenth minute hobbits completely on march for the one nil striker kevin fallen had moved out wide to find the young german for his night of the season. leave accusing continued to press aggressively and could have had a second before the break but not for a last ditch tackle and kevin fall in saudi finishing. both said clearly told his charges to keep on shooting mitchell visors effort from an unlikely position gave me on paid leave the chance to pounce after a goal a start to the season he has now school to in three matches the two nil wins he's live accusing climb to fifth and stay on course for another top six finish well fortuna could afford to drop points after an impressive run and seemed happy enough in defeat. and later on dortmund will be playing nurnberg the top and the bottom team in the bundesliga lima but dortmund is the top they haven't had as easy as

they do they have and i mean they need to stay on high alert because by and you need a catching up they've closed the gap down to two points and don't want at one point had a gap of what is a lead of eight nine points so and what also doesn't help their cause is that dortmund win this in four games in all competitions they've had some big collapses each time and i think the key for dortmund is really not to internalize any of these trade heroes is to play the football that they know because they need to catch themselves before they fall before this really turns into something very serious ok and it could couldn't it could it's football anything is positive ok gary have a lever that is very much recovering and today lima talking for as the day. if you're modern our top story we're following for you right now reports indicate the u.s. commerce department could label import of european cars a threat to national security now if it does so president trump could then levy

tariffs of up to twenty five percent on car makers many of them german car makers. this is deja vu news live from glenn will have more on those possible u.s. starts coming up with our business team and stephen frears lee that's all for me brian thomas don't forget you can always get more around the clock our web site e.w. dot com. crimes
