or for more on this developing story let's cross now to islam about and talk to political analyst imtiaz gul imtiaz we've got reports of pakistan and india launching airstrikes on each other's territory planes being shot down a pilot captured how dangerous is this situation. one of this has become dangerous with the events this morning whereby the bugs on the obvious last minute just a few minutes ago inform the press that the bugs on the army also attacked about six dogs inside the indian territory without inflicting any damage on civilians or any human damage just to demonstrate by august and get ability that it can also strike deep into the new and then it was followed by it this dog fight
9:04 am
between the two thousand and sixteen says both from both sides and eventually what we're being told that one was shot down and meanwhile about i think two to bided several days of being arrested so this this has basically. some alarming numbers one hopes that out the captured off doing it by digital probably. as the tool for the escalation into as we know that india and pakistan have a territorial dispute in kashmir but generally things reach this alarming level what's behind this escalation. you know obviously the unions out began this escalation. claiming that it argued to terrorists. inside pakistan it's not even. a little away from the region and this is one of the
9:05 am
groups that india has been talking about at international fora demanding immediate military action by the pakistani government and the military so the indians basically why they did the bugs on e.s.p. is included. a few konami just dropped some bombs and told the media at home that the terrorist camp had been taken out so this is this is what happened this morning as well and even an aircraft and getting through it into the bugs on the s.b.s. and they had to be shot down it's not in fact it entirely asian that bugs and i mean i've been promising. entirely asian for what happened yesterday so as you hold this is it says turn into a tit for tat and one would know see with with them suspend sings i.t.s. what happens because the import countries that think oh we understand suspended air
9:06 am
traffic through there or over there as faces and which means a great alarm as well as. and just thank you very much for your analysis that was political analyst imtiaz school talking to us from islamabad. now let's move on to the vietnamese capital hanoi or u.s. president donald trump a north korean leader kim jong il and are just hours away from kicking off their second summit in less than a year leaders are expected to have a brief one on one meeting later tonight trump began the day with talks with vietnamese president new e.-n. food from the two countries signed off on a number of trade deals and trump once again held up the u.s. relationship with vietnam as an example for north korea trump is pushing down yang to give up its nuclear weapons program in exchange for economic development the talks in vietnam come eight months after
9:07 am
a historic summit in singapore first between the sitting u.s. president and the north korean leader. well washington has set only modest expectations for this summit hinting only that it could loosen sanctions if pyongyang takes further steps to dismantle its nuclear arsenal nonetheless trump is building up the meeting on his own he tweeted quote be it is thriving like few places on earth north korea would be the same and very quickly if it would denuclearize tensional is also a great opportunity like almost none other in history for my friend kim jong il we will know fairly soon very interesting. on t.w. correspondent boston is in hanoi and joins us now from there so trump and kim will be meeting face to face today for a second time what do we expect us down. but i think this
9:08 am
meeting today is more of a social meeting and they have a twenty minute conversation one on one and then it will be a dinner here a the metropole hotel in hanoi and i think that's an opportunity for both leaders to get to know each other better to deepen and enhance their personal relationships because they only met once before face to face and that was at that summit in singapore and there they didn't spend that much time together they didn't have that much of an opportunity to actually get to know each other so here in hanoi they're allowing more time for that hence i think that dinner tonight and president trump made it clear that he seems to be very interested in a close personal relationship with north korean leader kim jong un at least in his tweet this morning he called kim jong un his friend terry so the summit is being held there in hanoi what role is vietnam playing in these talks. vietnam has been time and again portrayed as
9:09 am
a potential development model for north korea that's also what president trump outlined in his tweet saying that north korea look if you give up your nuclear weapons then you could go down a similar development path as vietnam has and that path actually is quite impressive because vietnam has evolved from an impoverished war stricken country to one of the one of the most vibrant economies in all of asia and that is a model that north korea has been interested in for quite some time looking if that's something that they might want to emulate or if that's something that's suitable for north korea and i had a look around here in vietnam to see where the country's at after some thirty years of economic reforms have a look at this report. every few weeks checks on her life stock cricket's. in two thousand and sixteen she co-founded the start up company cricket one. north of vietnam's economic capital city she recruits local farmers like

9:14 am
a more pressure this time to deliver a deal of substance. absolutely terry so as you said the agreement that the two reached in singapore was extremely vague so yes there are expectations from many sides saying look this time around we're looking for something a bit more concrete for example that could be a roadmap detailing steps in spelling out steps when it comes to denuclearization how to follow that path and that could be used to hold leaders accountable also and i couldn't gauge the progress because if you look at what happened since the last summit in singapore there wasn't much there wasn't much progress in terms of the denuclearization there are on the contrary there are reports saying that north korea has pushed forward with its nuclear program and he has even has even increased its nuclear stockpile terry bussin thank you so much to be

a correspondent in hanoi. well donald trump visit to hanoi is not just about diplomacy is also there doing business his trip started with an aviation deal worth billions of dollars investors are hoping it's a sign of things to come home we'll find out more when go join just for business in the second half hour you're watching d.w. news still to come in this power are german weapons being used to kill in the war in yemen early and denies the allegation but d.-w. investigation suggests otherwise. a check up on some other stories making headlines around the world u.s. media have published explosive testimony from donald trump's former lawyer michael cohen cohen will deliver the remarks when he faces a public rilling by washington lawmakers on wednesday in
9:16 am
a statement cohen says his former boss is quote a racist a conman and a cheat. to tell australian cardinals. and former republican treasurer george pell has been remanded in custody as he awaits sentiency for sexually abusing two teenage boys this after a judge revoked his bail pelz sentence will be announced on march thirteenth he faces up to fifty years behind bars. and in nigeria to bihari has won his second term as president of the electoral commission declared the result early on wednesday saying that the incumbent won by a comfortable margin the opposition claims that saturday's election was rigged. now and the weapons used to wage war there the four year conflict in yemen has created the world's worst humanitarian crisis the german government has repeatedly denied any knowledge of german arms and technology involved in the war but an
9:17 am
exclusive investigation by a team of german media outlets including d.w. news suggests that those weapons are being used in weapon in yemen or. in yemen's brutal war is the civilians who have bearing the brunt thousands have died millions on the brink of starvation i think the dominant falls has been the saudi coalition the fact that it keeps bombing civilians and civilian infrastructure despite having the best weaponry money can buy. saudi arabia and the united arab emirates up both fighting in yemen and it's here at this abu dhabi that they're shopping for the latest lethal technology both among the german industry's top clients but belin has repeatedly denied any knowledge of german made employed in yemen. i'm not aware of it we have in our coalition agreement laid down so i'm very strict rules for export of military weapons to parties
9:18 am
immediately and directly involved in the german conflict it is now being implemented i have not heard any news about it so far. germany prides itself on these strict export guidelines which ban the sale of weapons to countries involved in armed conflict. but d.-w. and its investigative partners report mentioned stand magazine lighthouse reports and belling cut trawled loads of phidias photos and satellite images and found evidence that german weapons sold to the emirates and saudi arabia oh in fact being used in the yemen war in the air at sea and on land. this is a german made warship in the port of marco in yemen it's one of two mind sweepers sold to the emirates satellite images repeatedly showed german made vessels in the
9:19 am
eritrean port of a sub sub is a main base for the naval blockade of yemen which has led to widespread starvation . this is a convoy of foreign mercenaries in yemen fighting for the emirates in the convoy a german built weapon station mounted on armored vehicles. these fighters are dancing around the wreckage of a saudi arabian tornado come budget which crashed in yemen tornadoes have many german component wooden's that exported to saudi and he writes that makes a big effect against him in use is that it is the tools of study and interest to kill me in many ways so i'm calling the west all that was doing intention is to stop selling weapons to saudi and. back at the defense for the m.e. rotty signed weapons. deals worth more than five billion dollars many of them with western companies and those arms too could end up in yemen's brutal conflict.
9:20 am
and the w.'s naomi conrad who filed that report is with me in the studio now good morning nomi so you've been working on this investigation together with a number of other german news outlets you found evidence that german made arms are being used in the conflict in yemen how did they get there. they were sold by the german government i mean we're talking about. directly such as the troll vessels or helicopters but also components say of tornado jets and of other weapon stations so it's a mix of components that were sent via third countries for example through the u.k. also directly and some of them were sold off of the war started i mean helicopter. rifles guns a lot of weapons were exported even off of the would been going on for several years and a lot of the human rights violations have been documented what kind of restrictions
9:21 am
does germany on exporting weapons to places like yemen or countries involved in that conflict jim scott they strict guidelines in theory i mean we have guidelines and sales to countries involved in armed conflicts and early last year the coalition agreement on top of these guidelines which explicitly exports to countries involved in the yemen was so in theory no no weapons and systems should be exported to these countries but obviously this is what our research shows the german government is making an exception when it comes to the emirates and saudi arabia the last part is a very important part is the government says they told us this in the regions and so they just ignoring their guidelines german government is ignoring its own guidelines you say chancellor merkel government claims it has no knowledge of german arms being you. used in yemen your team found evidence that such arms are
9:22 am
indeed being used in yemen how difficult was it to find that evidence finding the evidence itself wasn't that difficult i mean we basically just used open source material that means we troll twitter and you tube and looked at satellite images on google earth and verifying it was a little bit more difficult so to verify it we actually had to make eight these weapons so we say maybe just explain a little bit we found a video that showed. the german weapons system and then we had to prove that was actually in yemen so we then looked at satellite images tried to compare the mountain range is how is is roads even rocks beside the road to see whether this actually matched up with satellite images we had and then when we had exact coordinates that meant yes this was a verified proof that these weapons these weapon systems were actually in yemen at the time the videos of the photos or whatever we're looking at claimed now you've mentioned that vessels boats have been used you mentioned other kinds of german
9:23 am
millet german made military hardware being used in yemen do you have any estimate of how much of german made weaponry is actually there in being used in yemen in that conflict now that's difficult to quantify because. definitely play a role i think components are incredibly important when it comes to for example the tornado jets but we also have i mean british american even east european arms are being used in this war so yes german arms are important and they are important in the air on land and on sea but they're only part of the wider picture which is that this war could not be full without weston. so there are other countries that also have weapons involved in this conflict but in germany's case to germany the german government has claimed no knowledge of weapons german made weapons being used there what is german go. saying about your investigation not so far we obviously confronted them with this evidence they declined to comment on
9:24 am
specific weapons systems in use in yemen they just reiterated that the emirates are strategic part about the importance in the region so they've been quite tight lipped so are they still saying they have no knowledge so if. there were thank you so much regulations on your reporting namely conrad from our investigative bureau. now india's capital new delhi is home to twenty nine million people and as the city continues to grow so to does its rubbish problem but a group of artists is found in an interesting way of dealing with the city's mountains of waste they've built a female park that turns trash treasure have a look at the newly opened waste to wonder park. the eiffel tower is looking a little rusty so the statue of liberty the egyptian pyramids the coliseum and the taj mahal that's nice surprise these versions of the seven wonders of the
