11:01 am
protests on campus my down square that topper ukraine scotland we ask how much has the country changed since then. and all you need to know about this weekend's. frankfurt faced glove box in a game featuring not just great goals but also great goalkeeping and we look forward to tonight's match with league leaders dortmund. oh. hello and welcome. for indian soldiers and two militants are dead after a shootout in the disputed border region of kashmir the troops came under fire while carrying out searches following a suicide bombing in which more than forty soldiers were killed india has blamed neighboring pakistan for last week's attack one of the deadliest in decades
11:02 am
pakistan has record its own voice from india amid the rising tensions. joining me now from delhi is our correspondent nischelle jazz firstly what's the latest you can tell us tell us about the fighting in kashmir where indian forces have been exchanging fire with militants well i'm about it has been confirmed that at least four members of the indian security forces happy lost their lives in an overnight encounter there but scouted out in the for bomb of this place just a few kilometers from where the actual terror attack on the fourteenth of this month took place there are also reports coming in that at least two would analysts have been killed and they are reportedly the boy involved in the attack of the fourteen one of them is in fact considered to be a drop it or. monda much food as well as well as another terrorist tool that there are reports of him being killed who was actually a top i operate or so this is the first strike back from the indian side after
11:03 am
following this attack and this has happened in full bomb and pushed me to the diplomatic pressure is growing on pakistan islamabad this record its high commissioner from delhi they do see this heading. well i'm a thought it is worth noting that ties between india and pakistan have been strained and start a cli and this abuse the communication between the two countries in trees are going to create a recording to the kind of environment that is heavily influenced by what's happening in kashmir now there was a major attack on the army back in twenty sixteen that was and over the last one a half years that i have been very strange after the imran khan government came to bars in pakistan even the national security adviser up in pakistan that position does not exist anymore and that was one of the key channels of communication all of the channels have been very have been very undermined by this and now that india pressing for pakistan to be isolated internationally the country has been downgraded from a most favored nation status which gives it trade benefits and there are many other
11:04 am
a cause that india is making to be international community to designate for example masood as a jew and as a meta deloris sort of definitely a lot of pressure pakistan to act and the drawl of the of the about that also shows that communications are going to be strained if not completely shut down and at the public the level of english or the outrage in india is also playing out against muslims in the country with people being beaten up and threatened what can you tell us about that. again on both of these boards are contested but there is confirmation that on you would support that are saying that many cushman students in other parts of the country at least and states actually had to lock themselves up to save all this outrage now a lot of the outrage that has poured out on the street has been directed at pakistan but because of increases in homegrown militancy in the in the state of wish me there have been some pushback against people from kashmir against people living in indian occupied kashmir as well however there's also
11:05 am
a counter narrative that a many people who come out on social media on twitter offering a safe haven offering their homes to kashmir to students to kashmir to people outside a fish made just in case they feel threatened so what is coming in from both sides but that it definitely is anger as well like nima should just one in jenny thank you very much for that update. new fiction has emerged in transatlantic relations over the fate of european nationals captured fighting for so-called islamic states in syria jim he says it would work with france and britain in response to u.s. demands to repack treat some eight hundred european extremists that's off a tweet from president donald trump threatening to release captured five says on this europe what's 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

11:07 am
the fate of the fighters wives some of them say they don't regret joining the terror group but now wish to return it are a great. change. so. you know. i would like to. have my kids. i did have a good time. to prosecute or rehabilitate the question of how to deal with returning i guess biters and their families will remain a major challenge for european countries. and trans atlantic fiction also over trade the u.s. commerce department has delivered the results of a fair trade investigation cord full by the white house it supported three concludes that vehicle imports pose a threat to national security the move could open a new front and president donald trump's america first trade agenda washington
11:08 am
could impose painful punitive tabs on him in the jungle makers of up to twenty five percent american consumer advocates fear copper prices across the board could rise by some five thousand dollars since one manufacturers use imported parts and telecom make a say washington's acquisitions in a comprehensive. as steven did say from a business says joins me now welcome steve incidents more about this report and its implications fust rate of this is called a section two three two investigation and it's about how a sudden surge in imports can threaten national security is a cold war era piece of legislation and it's only been used really for oil related products at this point or mostly for oil related products in this case it's been tied to sort of a trade to go she asians between europe and the u.s. we sort of undermines the national security arguments here it's totally legal under the w t o and it gives the president trump now ninety days to implement some sort
11:09 am
of solution if he agrees with its findings but what kind of tat ifs i'll be talking about and look what they mean for european comic i don't know right now what the amount of the tariffs would be we've heard talk of up to twenty five percent and if that's the case it would be very significant what the what the impact is on european carmakers obviously companies like fia chrysler like falwell and of course all the german car makers b.m.w. or all of these these would actually be at the heart of the german car automakers are they are hit the hardest they export more than other car companies to the u.s. thirty four billion euros in recent years that could be halved under a twenty five percent tariff to seventeen billion euros that's significant terms of what it means to the u.s. and german economy but this could surely boomerang on the american economy is money and even hurt can see it was they were buying cars right exactly lot of these car manufacturers are very active in the states in terms of their plants or their so what happens to the bottom lines of those companies will affect what happens to u.s. workers also think about car dealers b.m.w.
11:10 am
dime lower chrysler car dealers in the u.s. these are americans these are american jobs and they're going to be hit hard if the price of what they're selling goes up what does that mean for them it's going to be very difficult and be stephen what does all of this mean for u.s. and europe create till well i mean it's again it's hanging it's dangling a threat over it and you know they knew this could happen because obviously it's happened in relation to the u.s. china trade talks but it definitely raises the temperature and so we're going to see if the tariffs do go into places that mean they're counted tariffs how productive this is it all remains to be seen stephen beard state film business says thank you very much. stephen we have much more on that story when he does business news let me bring you up to date with some other stories making news at this hour the yemeni government and who have agreed to start be drawing forces from the key port city of data the united nations described the deal as important progress the talks were led by danish gendron michel god who met with both sides.

festival. but first ukraine this week marks the fifth anniversary of the deadly my don protests in the capital kiev the mass demonstrations were triggered when the then president viktor yanukovych backed out of a deal designed to bring the country closer to the e.u. they turned violent in february two thousand and fourteen when security forces moved in to clear demonstrators the clashes that followed left more than one hundred people dead president yanukovych fled to russia clearing the way for a new leadership now for a look back at those tumultuous events nikolay met up with a young woman who was a teenager when she took part in those protests and was wounded she has this report . scenes of chaos as government forces moved into its mind on square trying to force protesters to leave the spot where they had been camping out for more than
11:13 am
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 and her friends were out in the street in front of their makeshift headquarters. and 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 to an age 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 wounded that is until ukrainian t.v. crew appeared. here below much to my face was covered in bandages so that no one
11:14 am
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 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 and within days he was gone leaving to russia. five years on from the mind on does victoria still think the protests had
11:15 am
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 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 why. that triple body double is nick connelly who joins me now from the ukrainian capital nic a canvas commemorating the fifth anniversary of the my ban revolution today how important are the events of two thousand and fourteen for the country today good afternoon i'm rich or well the crawlers of the mind on is a bit complicated people had been protesting out in the square behind me since the autumn but this week is a risk if you can because they saw the tensions ratchet up most of the over one
11:16 am
hundred victims lost their lives in this week as the conflict between security services and protesters really intensified and by the end of the week that international pressure came piling in on president in a coach and saw him flee to russia so not only was this about the demonstrators in effect despite all those deaths getting their way changing the government of ukraine it's also about the modern as a turning point because just a few weeks after the modern will remember russia annexed ukraine's crimean peninsula the conflict in eastern ukraine began with russian support so basically most of ukraine's modern recent history really takes its beginnings from those events five years ago so how do people there feel about what's been accomplished in the past five years as we heard from victoria in your report change is coming she said but perhaps not fast enough to what extent is a view shared by others. i'm rich that's something you hear time and time again there is definitely a weariness obviously you know the war in eastern ukraine has been going on for
11:17 am
five years now people's standard of living is still lower than it was before the revolution and people are still waiting for tangible proof that these reforms really are going to going to improve their lives they haven't seen real high profile convictions of people involved in top corruption they have seen a lot of reform activity but still most of it is kind of abstract the moment for individuals trying to get by as a good look at a hundred people lost their lives during the my don protest which you described as a turning point for the movement has anyone been brought to justice for those killings that's the real problem we still haven't seen any convictions for the political decision makers who gave those orders obviously president to coaches now ex-president coaches in russia he has been sentenced convicted for treason in absentia but obviously nothing more
11:18 am
concrete than that in terms of people who really pulled the triggers only two convictions of happened with the custodial sentence lots more suspended sentences it's very difficult to work out five years hence who was where and who's gone was pointing at whom but this is an open wound and as i heard today from relatives at a memorial service they really worried that as time goes by the years pass the parents of these people who died will eventually pass themselves or will lose the opportunity the energy to really follow up on this and that eventually this will just pass out of public attention and this will be covered over nick connelly in kiev thank you very much. thank you. let's turn to football or soccer if you prefer and the latest round of when you think of matches it's my great pleasure to welcome to talk of the ws sports says welcome even of course you want to talk about what's happening at the top of the bundesliga but first that's by and dog good but first let's start what was the
11:19 am
big match up on sunday we had two european hopefuls go head to head against frankfurt and both are having solid seasons but trying for it a bit in a dilemma because they've been minutes in the last five games and it's been basically one frustrating draw after another after another after another it was this exact same story yesterday why don't we take a look. glad buck dominated the early going torgan i was firing a warning shot in the eighth minute frankford allowed back to create a series of chances then a second forcing kevin trapp to make his best save of the first half. frankfurt didn't even fire on target until the thirty ninth minute philip cost it's denied by youn zama then with the last kick of the first half that he did cost to open the scoring for the hosts i cross to controlling unit time to go this month corner and hitting the target. after that i instruct gave blood back few
11:20 am
opportunities on to re bits almost made it to nil his shot going just why i'm frankfurt seem to be running out of steam though and to zacharie up pounced on a defensive blackout to pull the sides level i tried getting a hand to the ball but on able to stop it. 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. and leave a look at what made the quiz and they also hoping for a spot in the european a european spot and out of the game turn out best way to describe they have a cruising right now is to call it the pick up bosch effect we saw this last season that thought in mind where bosch really you know he gets his key team's going to have a really great start to the season but we have to be
11:21 am
a bit careful because we don't know how this is going to end and you know but credit to bosh i mean the team has really adapted to his attacking style football but you know what why don't we take a look at this pick up bosh effect that everyone seems to be talking about right now. the grass seems greener underpays a ball so once again through the kitchen sink at his opposition five attacking players started for the. and it showed the eighteenth minute hobbits completely on much of the one male strike of having fallen had moved out wide to find the young german for his night of the season. late accusing continue 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. the ball 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 goalless start to the season he has now schooled two in three matches the two no way in c's live accusing climbs of fish and stay on course for another top six
11:22 am
finish while fortuna can afford to drop points after an impressive run and seemed happy enough in defeat. so later on dortmund play a new gym bag and the top at the bottom of the bundesliga but don't want all those at the top they haven't had it quite so easy lately have they know they really have to stay on high end because by an eye catching up they have closed the gap to two points and for daughter i mean they win this in the last four games this is really one of those things that don't men they need to catch themselves before they fall because you know this could really turn into something very serious. enough possible industry. is seen around the world including in the stomach republican off eve run but the fans that couldn't watch the match the other night for a reason tell us what that is so it remains to television they have really strict
11:23 am
rules when it comes to censorship so women for example you know in shorts that's something that's and be honest i know of course as we all know is the first woman referee in the top football leagues and that was always going to be a problem because you know she wears black shorts and a t. shirt she has blonde hair as though she stands out right there in black and last season went by and played cologne you know they ended up wearing out and close up shot of shine house and i think that was too much work for them because can you imagine this moving object and i think this time around they decided let's just not show that game at all which of course sucks if you're by and fan in iran actually just don't tip if you say anything more except to say a leader who turned from did. lovely to have you here. ok moving away from sports now and an unlikely journey for one of indian india's heavy metal bands the group for trainwreck has won a competition in bangalore to bring its brand of hot drug to germany's iconic open
