this is d. w. news coming to you live from berlin european states pledged to work together to deal with their islamic state fighters captured in syria us president told trump has threatened to allow all around eight hundred european jihadists to infiltrate the continent unless their home states put them on trial also coming up ukraine marks five years since the deadly protests on the mind square the top of the country's government we ask how much has the country changed since then. and this weekend's bonus league matches frank first place in

a game featuring not just great goals great goal keeping and we'll look forward to tonight's match with the league leaders don't. oh i'm terry martin good to have you with us there's new friction in transatlantic relations over the fate of european nationals captured fighting for so-called islamic state in syria germany says it will work with france of britain to respond to u.s. demands to repatriate some eight hundred european extremists that's after a tweet from president 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 off twenty 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 as fighters remain in kurdish prisons their wives and children live in 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. this iris 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 track if prisoners are actually truman citizens stuff i have 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 ensured 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 correspondent max hoffmann 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 as 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 we're poor to 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 nationals 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 in 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 were 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 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 the ankle imports pose a threat to national security and 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 max 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 us 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 in constituencies where these things were produced and they are always been saying there's more where that came from all the plans the lists 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 bombing india has blamed neighboring pakistan for the attack which killed dozens of indian troops a dispute over the history of the holocaust has prompted poland to pull out of a summit of central european nations and israel warsaw said it was withdrawing in protest after israel's foreign minister said that poles collaborated with the nazis during world war two colons prime minister is slammed those comments as

unacceptable and racist. and seven british lawmakers have quit the opposition labor party and will sit in parliament as an independent group the m.p.'s said they decided to quit in part because of party leader jeremy corbyn support for regs it also cited his attempt to stamp out anti-semitism within the party. its authorities in the mold deeds have detained former president up to mean for allegedly trying to bribe witnesses in his money laundering trial i mean is under investigation for allegedly receiving some one million dollars in allusive payments during his failed reelection campaign and his nine the allegation is. now to cameroon in west africa where one hundred seventy school children mainly girls have been released from captivity after being abducted by its separatist group on saturday the children were freed in the city of coombe oh which is in the anglo

phone region of the largely france speaking country they've been abducted by a group fighting for independence for that part of cameroon which they call. for old joining us now. from lagos in neighboring liberia is our correspondent adrian krishna adrian first of all why were the schoolgirls abducted and how are they released. so terry as far as we know they were released yesterday in the late evening around nine pm and then they are now reunited with their families again i talked with the. earlier today and he said it was separatists were behind the attack behind the kidnapping and she said simply to prove a point for them they want the school to be closed and apparently they were as successful because now the only remaining school in the region is now also closed it in the separatists regularly put pressure on locals to not send their children to school there who are these separatists and what are they fighting for.

so the people in the anglican region of cameroon they have been feeling marginalized for details already because they're in minority in the country that is dominated by a francophone by a rather french speaking government and the whole crisis escalated in two thousand and sixteen back then lawyers went on the streets doctors as well demonstrating peacefully but the government reacted with violence many were arrested others were killed and this is when the whole thing was the crisis escalated separatist groups started to have become active and by now we have a situation whereby there's more than ten active separate groups in the region and they also have very different separatist groups although they have one target they want to achieve the foundation of their own country. but the groups themselves are very different and i have seen it myself when i was there last year driving through the area that we could talk to some of the groups representatives who were just trying to fight for their purpose peacefully that was also accepted by white

positive people living there but then you had others who were basically criminals just xstrata money from us but also from people living in the area and this is the same thing when it comes to education some of them say well education is important but many of them insist that the schools have to remain closed because they want to put pressure on the government that way they want to force the government on the negotiation table and this is why most of the schools in the region have been closed for more than three years now seventy schools were torched already in the pastas it's a terrible situation and paul b. of the president when he was elected once again in a very controversial election last year he says he's open for dialogue but nothing much has happened since then adrian thank you so much. in lagos. a swedish activist has been fined for carrying out a protest on board an aircraft in july of last year student ilene managed to hold the deportation of a rejected asylum seeker she was successful at the time and although the man was

later deported on another flight today she discovered the consequences of her actions. get an airport in sweden it was from here in july twenty eighth that a turkish airlines aircraft was shuttle to depart for instance on board a rejected asylum seeker being deported to afghanistan and swedish student ellen s. and seeking to stop the flight she broadcast her mission live from her smartphone. there and there's a person getting their phones and it's afghanistan case and there's my phone don't touch my phone and people here were trying to take my phone away from me just because no one else and ignored numerous requests to take a seat until the pilot agreed to let the asylum seeker off the plane the video was viewed millions of times across the internet and was celebrated by some as a hero of civil disobedience but she also faced a torrent of abuse. their son was charged with violating sweden's aviation

act for refusing to comply with instructions her lawyer contested the allegation saying the instructions had come from the crew rather than the pilot all the stuff of national laws to find the crimes that can be prosecuted it is clear that what happened on july twenty three did not violate any specific law so there was no punishable offense it was tough to go. in the house and face up to six months in jail instead judges handed down a fine totaling three hundred seventy year olds. well joining us now for more is the reporter jared reed who's been following this story hi jared this story was huge on line the young woman successfully utilized social media to draw attention to the cause but did her actions really make any difference i think it's a bit of yes we just saw very good intentions in that report she managed to stop the deportation of of an asylum seeker. and basically get

a huge amount of attention through social media broadcasting this to millions of people and i think for a lot of people that's where the story started and ended they you know it was an outpouring of support for her also a bit of hate and that's that's where lots of people left it but there was more to the story as it turned out the man that she thought she was helping wasn't on the plane it was another afghan asylum seeker who'd been charged with assault and also then she was charged with violating swedish aviation law and so then the question online became well did she actually do the right thing or did she commit a crime there is a there's a group of activists in britain called the stansted fifteen now are involved in something similar trying to stop the deportation flies and i think the problem is they want us to be talking about the people that they're trying to help these asylum seekers but in the end the discussion becomes about them through their very big acts of protest then motivations who they are as people and so i think the

impact that they trying to get to shed light on a very controversial issue ends up getting drowned out because because of because of what they've done now social media activism is nothing new course but i get the impression that the people at the helm of some of these causes online are getting younger and younger that's right i mean well it isn't new in a spot things like the arab spring but lately way seeing young people saying well. to the adults of the will when not going to leave it up to you to solve our problems by going to get involved as well people like greg to accuse another us we'd she gained a lot of attention through protesting outside the swedish pollen meant for climate change and now way seeing these types of protests take place all over the world through her tenacity when we see you school shootings in the us for example we've seen young people get involved and coal for change and so in you know in iran as

well whenever people get charged the dancing or not wearing the job more protests erupt from that so i think social media activism isn't nothing new but we're seeing young people getting involved and getting their message out very quickly to a lot of people chad thank you so much for your insights t. w. reporter jared reed for now to ukraine where people have been commemorating the fifth anniversary of the deadly protests in the capital a service has been held for the more than one hundred people killed with most of us ration has turned violent in february of two thousand and fourteen thousand said camped out for months in the capital to protest them president's decision to scrap a deal that would have moved the country closer to the european union the protest was crushed when security forces moved in to clear the demonstrators. for a look back at those to mulch was nick connolly met up with

a young woman who was a teenager when she took part in those protests and was wounded here's his report. 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 my down on the day police attempted to clear the square victoria her friends were out in the streets in front of their makeshift headquarters you know 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 for 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

so. 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 room did that is until ukrainian t.v. crew a bit. 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 the copying of 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 one hundred people have lost their lives images like these went around the world. present in a coach's position had become untenable within days he was gone fleeing to russia. five years on from the my down does victoria still think the protests had a last impact on the country. 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. as you may know germany is phasing out nuclear power but it's struggling to deal with the industry's legacy it's clear that there's a big problem with nuclear waste for example as

a former salt mine in northern germany or low grade radioactive waste has been stored for decades. all ready to go underground protective clothing oxygen all ok and the geiger counter. ready ation. we are plunging five hundred meters into the mine at four meters per second and we are going to inspect one of germany's most pressing and why a mental problems. thousands of barrels. to waste. many years the miners failing and the state wants to remove the bear worlds a race against time it's barrels full of low grade way d.-o. act of waste but fifty years ago and now the problems are mounting every day thirteen falls and little soft water seep into the mine. just imagine three

generations we used nuclear power in germany. but we all need to be ready generation. everyone who says nuclear is a cheap form of energy should be this place. engineers want to go completely new chef to bring the nuclear waste to deal with the old miners failing it could collapse the world's will be crushed it will take years until the barrels can be salvaged at the moment new covens like this one are being excavated to accommodate huge machines back above ground demonstrators are waiting for the they demand when they'll buy woods are brought to the surface they should be taken away as far as possible. 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 match up of course was between. these are two sides that really want to make it into europe next season and frankfurt are actually in the europa league this season and very much focused on that because of a poor season asked 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. in the table. and it was a pretty good much it was tight which is what everyone expected so i think we need to do is actually take a look at the actual. plot dominated the early going toward firing a warning shot in the eighth minute frankford 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 minute philip

cost it tonight by youn zama then with the last kick of the first half danny did cost to open the scoring for the hosts i cost a controlling unit time to goes months corner and hitting the target. after that i instruct gave blood but few opportunities to raby it's almost made it to neil his shot going just why i frankfurt seemed to be running out of steam though and to zachary up pounced on a defensive blackout to pull this level i try getting the hands of the ball but on able to stop it i said dream it should have netted the winner for gladbach as time expired but he bounced 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 i. now

out of the team making a push for a european top spot is fifth place leverkusen what happened in their game well they were facing or throughout the beginning of the season had an 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 them but they were no match for leverkusen they celebrated their fourth consecutive win this need to win under their relata. if the 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 greener on the paper ball so once again through the kitchen sink at his opposition five attacking play is started for the hosts and it showed the eighteenth minute hobbits completely out of the one nil striker kevin fall into it 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 kevin fall and saw the finishing. ball said clearly told his charges to keep on shooting mitchell visors effort from an unlikely position gave a lead 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 dortmund 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 feeling
