this is news coming to you live from berlin european states pledged to work together to deal with their islamic state fighters captured in syria u.s. president donald trump has threatened to allow around eight hundred european jihadists captured in syria to infiltrate the continental us their own states put them on trial also coming up. nuclear waste in a perilous condition in germany it's a race against time to move the barrels as the salt mine where they're stored slowly collapses. and ukraine marks five years since the deadly protests on the

square that toppled the country's government we ask how much has the country changed since the. oh i'm terry martin welcome to the program there's new friction in transatlantic relations over the fate of european nationals captured fighting for a so-called islamic state in syria germany says it will work with france and britain in response to u.s. demands to repatriate some eight hundred european extremists that's after a tweet from president all trump threatening to release captured fighters unless europe takes them back and puts them on trial. i asked jihadists on the march in syria these images are from the fall of the fourteen i asked has since been defeated here and across nearly the entire country many fighters sadat and more

have been taken prisoner the kurds say hundreds of foreign i was fighters remain in kurdish prisons their wives and children live and comes to northern syria europe hasn't yet come up with a clear response over the future of foreign fighters and their families germany says it is now in close contact with its european partners in particular france and britain. it's essentially saw of course it is true that all german citizens have the right to return to germany including those suspected of having fought for islamic state they have to face justice here in a german court off the streets on top of this 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 german officials say that a total of one thousand and fifty german citizens went to fight in syria and iraq

since twenty thirteen since then a third have returned home around two hundred are led to do dat foreign minister heikal mass says it's difficult to check if prisoners are actually truman citizens five if this were the case it would be necessary to check to what extent they were involved in fighting for oh yes which would result in criminal proceedings having to be opened against them. and these people can come to germany only if he's insurance that they can immediately be taken into custody as i'm going normally here. to prosecute our rehabilitate the question of how to deal with the returning i as fighters and their families is a major challenge for germany and for other european countries as well. for more let's bring in our correspond. in brussels that's where e.u. foreign ministers are currently meeting max donald trump is demanding european countries take back hundreds of their nationals detained while fighting for i asked

in syria what's the reaction from e.u. foreign ministers in brussels most euro foreign ministers here in brussels at the moment do recognize that of course this is a problem and that the u.s. president has a point when he wants to talk about the topic but there is heavy criticism surprisingly terry about the way he is doing it social for example the foreign minister from luxembourg said you don't do that with a tweet you talk to your partner if indeed those are partners and you already mentioned the german foreign minister in that report who pointed out some difficulties here for example that the germans don't have an embassy in syria so that it is very hard to proceed to verify that these people are actually german that that what kind of criminal charges are brought against them to make sure that if indeed they are delivered to germany they were taken into custody right away so it seems that the e.u. foreign ministers here recognize the problem say we need to do something about that

but it's unclear how exactly they do want to proceed so identifying the people we're talking about here these these german nationals are foreign nationals have been fighting for i asked in syria that's a problem yes but one of the problems does repatriation of jihad is fighters pose for europe. well if they don't stay in custody we saw in two thousand and fifteen and two thousand and sixteen what kind of problem that can create for europe you of course remember the attacks in paris or here right here in brussels many people involved back then were foreign fighters that had returned and just to give you an idea of the numbers we don't have the freshest numbers but in two thousand and sixteen it was believed that for example three hundred roughly three hundred foreign fighters returned alone to france and went back into already radicalized communities so of course people here are worried that attacks like in two thousand and fifteen and two thousand and sixteen could happen again although we experienced

a period of relative calm in the last years ok so a potential security risk there stay with us masked as repatriation of bias fighters isn't the only point of contention between the u.s. and europe today there's also friction over trade the u.s. commerce department has delivered the results of a fair trade investigation called for by the white house are reportedly concludes that vehicle imports pose a threat to national security all that's in the u.s. the move could open a new front in president america first trade agenda washington it's believed could impose painful punitive tariffs on mainly german carmakers. up to twenty five percent american consumer advocates fear that car prices across the board could rise by some five thousand dollars since all manufacturers use imported parts german car makers say washington's accusations are in comprehensible so max

brussels can't be happy about this prospect the prospect of u.s. slapping tariffs on european cars can it. no but they've already shown how they would react because we've had a similar problem although not the same magnitude with steel terrorists and the u. commission back then reacted with retaliatory terrorists for example slapping them on whiskey or harley davidsons trying to hurt voters of donald trump and constituencies where these things were produced and they are always been saying there's more where that came from all the plans of the list are in the drawers we can take him out whenever we deem this possible but of course the main feeling among people in brussels and not only here is disbelief that a partner like the u.s. would do anything like that and i think the best example of that is what happened at the munich security conference i don't know if you followed the german chancellor during that event last weekend but she really seen in disbelief at that

this was a real possibility that actually german cars could be deemed a national security threat in the united states serious tensions there max huffman in brussels thank you so much. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today india says a shootout in the disputed border region of kashmir has left at least nine people dead including the suspected mastermind of last week's deadly suicide bombing indian troops came under fire as they hunted militants believed responsible for that india has blamed neighboring pakistan for the attack which killed dozens of in . a panel of british lawmakers has accused facebook of deliberately breaking privacy and competition laws and says the company should be investigating the findings come after an eighteen month parliamentary probe into dissent from ation in the digital spear a panel also calls for greater regulation of social media companies to protect democracy. and

a dispute over the history of the holocaust has prompted poland to pull out of a summit instead of central european nations in israel warsaw said it was withdrawing in protest after israel's foreign minister said that poles collaborated with the nazis during world war two the prime minister has slammed those comments as unacceptable and racist. now in britain there is a split in the opposition labor party's seven lawmakers have confirmed their quitting and will sit in parliament as the independent group m.p.'s said they decided to quit because of party leader jeremy corbyn support the brags that what they say is his failure to stamp anti semitism in the party. a life long euro skeptic organ said he was disappointed by the move one of the departing lawmakers mike gapes had this to say i am sickened that the labor

party is now a racist anti semitic policy. i'm furious that the labor leadership is complicit in facilitating brix it which will cause great economic social and political damage to our country let's bring in our correspondent in london. we've got a few unhappy labor party m.p. is a balancing geraldine corben ship seven out of two hundred fifty six is this really going to hurt the labor party much symbolically it's really going to help the labor party those and also other m.p.'s have been openly critical of jeremy corbin's leadership mostly when it comes to greg's and they have accused him of not being really anti the government and having an alternative vision when it comes to the future of the country and the future how the breadth of negotiations should be conducted but also like you've said in the

report it's also about anti-semitism there's one m.p. who is jewish has self and she has had repeated abuse online she's eight months pregnant by the way so that in itself is quite an achievement to break away from from your party and start a new group an independent group so quite so you know for how to do this at this point in time a lot must have been going on and there must have been really severe decisions before these ladies labor m.p.'s to to jump ship and do their own thing so it is a bold move just what are these rebels hoping to achieve. i understand that they are trying also you to get others on the side so if there are not just seven but they are also working with other n.p.'s and some of these m.p.'s have been involved in the people's vote campaign to kona has been one of the leading lights of the people's vote campaign who's voting hoping to to get

a second referendum on the braggs a deal they were would be hoping that all this would join them sued they'd would be more centrist cross party group but they will work together also with all the parties on on different issues i think you know they are much more to the center of the labor party who they say is to left wing on the jeremy corbyn and for for quite some time they've been very unhappy so the how much they can really achieve will also depend on how many authors they will be able to align with in the next weeks burger thank you very much for that. us in london. germany may be phasing out nuclear power but it is struggling to deal with the industry's legacy it's becoming clear that there's a big problem with nuclear waste one example is a former salt mine in that in northern germany where low grade radioactive waste has been stored for decades. all ready to go underground protective

clothing oxygen all ok and the geiger counter to mesha radiation. we are plunging five hundred meters into the mine at for me to second and we are going to inspect one of germany's most pressing and why a mental problems. to waste. many years. in the state wants to remove. a race against time it's barrow's full of low grade way to. fifty years ago and the problems are mounting every day thirteen thousand liters of water seep into the mine. just imagine three generations we use nuclear power in germany. generation. everyone who

says nuclear is a cheap form of energy should be this place. engineers want a completely new shaft to bring the nuclear waste to deal with the old miners failing it could collapse then the by woods would be crushed it will take years until the barrels can be salvaged at the moment like this one not being excavated to accommodate huge machines back above ground demonstrators are waiting for the they do when the by woods are brought to the surface they should be taken away as far as possible. need to be stored somewhere in germany and not due to sending them to africa to shoot them into space or whatever. nobody wants nuclear waste in their backyard about

a billion euros being spent on dealing with the leftovers of nuclear power in addition cleaning up the. five billion year olds. one person who knows a lot about this story is silly be a. long it's been decades you know first of all of it like to say that. responsibility. it's an example of how you are not supposed to do it because these former minds have too many. what is what is there for whom top carbines of the could be other crevasses yes. so you so if sometimes i miss avert and you all of us know that someday there's water in it yes and you had to neighboring them to form a minds who have flooded already and it was absolutely clear that they as

a two would be flooded one day and still it was chills and it was not chills because of any quality for safety it was only chosen because it seemed to be a cheap solution so these are barrels containing containing nuclear waste low level nuclear waste but still radioactive they rust when they're exposed to water and salt is obviously so the waste is allowed to seep out and potentially get into the groundwater i presume our taxpayers are expected to now shoulder the cost of cleaning up this site and getting the barrels out yes pharma operator wanted to fulfill it specially equipped and then close it and i was and some other people have echoed winced that the only. responsible lucian is to bring the waste out again and so we made a law. which made retrieval go with it and the problem is we do not know how

long it take very long this we know but even though they don't know how long it will take the works that still in them in the state of preservation and we do not even though about it works at all so this is a very special law because you do not know whether you are able to come to it or go and you know there are still questions surrounding the why we don't know yet and it's taken so long and it's being so slow but i'd like to move on to the problem of nuclear waste in germany in general this problem has been around in germany like in other countries for many years how much progress has there been made during all these decades of debate about finding a permanent nuclear way. storage facility and dealing with this in a safe manner we have a very poor history of even repositories because they have not only us if we have a tool which is similar and they have the story of chorley and so we have

a very stored above ground yes but it's all supposed to get the repository for the high radioactive waste and probably it's own two now because we made a new wood all it is in my opinion a very very good to law and be made if he could make it because he had this face what. eleven for the second time but if they're higher energy nearly the whole of parliament so it is made possible to focus now on the next problem and this problem is the nuclear waste and behalf this law which hath a very. long lasting look for finding at least a site for the repository the first step so ms sylvia quoting a member of the german parliament and head of the committee dealing with the environment thank you for being with us don't you think. ukrainians have been

commemorating the fifth anniversary of the deadly my done protests in the capital kiev a service has been held for the more than one hundred people killed when mass demonstrations turned violent in february two thousand and fourteen thousands had camped out for months in the capital of protest the then president's decision to scrap a deal that would have moved the country closer to the european union a protest was crushed when security forces moved in to clear the demonstrators. off or look back at those to mulch was a vent steve w.'s nick conley met up with a young woman who was a teenager when she took part in the protests and was injured here's his report. scenes of chaos as government forces moved into worlds 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 and her friends were out in the streets in front of their makeshift headquarters again no 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 indeed 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 except the copying of footage 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 it. i by the end of the week more than a hundred people have lost their lives images like these went around the world prison the other coaches position had become untenable within days he was gone playing to russia. five years on from the might of 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 with 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. soccer in the latest round of bonus league matches public. sports is here with us hey let's of course we're going to look at what's happening at the top of the table but first what about sunday's big match well the big matchup of course was between france and these are two sides that really want to make it into europe next season and france are actually in the europa league this season and very much focused on that because of a poor season last year didn't make it into europe and they're pretty much regulars

in europe but they're very focused on getting back into the champions league and things are looking good for them they're in those top four spots third in the in the table. and it was a pretty good much it was tight which is what everyone expected so i think what we need to do is actually take a look at the action. that dominated the early going towards firing a warning shot in the eight minute frankfurt allowed back to create a series of chances and it's forcing kevin trapp to make his best save of the first half. frankfurt didn't even fire on target until the thirty ninth i crossed a controlling unit time to goes months corner and hitting the turn. after that i instruct gave you opportunities to re bits almost made it to kneel 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 this level i try getting

a hand to the ball but on able to stop it i said dream it should have netted the winner for gladbach as time expired but he'd bounce the ball over the net i won one the final score and both sides will be feeling they missed a chance to come away with more. now the other team making a push for a european top spot is fifth place leverkusen what happened in their game well they were facing the door for at the beginning of the season absolutely dreadful start to say the least but they've actually managed to drag themselves up the table and they're sort of teetering on that sort of mid table area. which is you know a pretty good achievement for for them but they were no match for laver because they celebrated their fourth consecutive win this need to win under their

relatively new coach will say peter boss who took over at the beginning of the year once again that's take a look at the action. seems green underpays 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 for the one mil striker kevin following 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 not for a last ditch tackle and kevin holland saw the finishing. ball said clearly told us judges to keep on shooting mitchell visors effort from an unlikely position gave bailey the chance to pounce after a goal is stopped for the season he has now school two in three matches the two nil win sees 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 how i know that later on dortmund play by the top and bottom games in the bonus league don't really have to wind they really do have to win other top of the table at the moment they are two points ahead of biron they want to go back to being five points which is what they were before this weekend started they really need to win they are thin. a little bit damaged will say after their loss in the champions league which was a big loss and also they've had a poor run of form in the past two weeks they were knocked out of the cope after losing to braman and they drew with hoffenheim in the bundesliga public thank you so much from the public fully aaliyah's from good obvious sports. coming up next global three thousand now the growing international movement of school students calling for climate change oh action to defeat climate change stay with us.
