this is day eight of the news live from berlin venezuela expels germany's ambassador to the venezuelan government to clean up persona non-grata the backing opposition leader. despite this germany says mr has its support also on the program more deadly violence threatens afghanistan's push for peace despite today's bombing resulting in at least seventeen deaths the united states says talks with the taliban in qatar making progress. new satellite images from north korea

suggesting he's rebuilding one of the rocket launch sites it dismantled last year as part of the peace moves with the united states. and in the next half hour breaking to loosen conservative me in my frank talk about women's sexuality takes center stage as the of the china monologues makes its debut. i'm sure welcome to the program and it's why this government has ordered germany's ambassador to leave the country after he expressed support for opposition leader one glider. was one of a number of foreign ambassadors to greet satisfy the self declared interim president when he landed at caracas monday the government accuses ambassador crane of interfering in the country's internal affairs and has given him forty eight hours to leave. and get the latest from d. w.'s chief political correspondent linda crane welcome belinda how has the german

government reacted. german foreign minister said just a short while ago that he finds the decision taken by mr maduro's regime in comprehensible that it would only aggravate the situation and he said they must understand that both germany and europe will continue to have unwavering support for one quite go as interim president so pretty strong words there beyond that the government has confirmed that mr clean or the ambassador was declared persona non grata they've said that they are calling him back for consultations which is presumably an attempt to remain flexible in in what is a developing situation and the german government said furthermore it is also talking to its partners to other e.u. member countries to try to understand what's happening and where to go next but

just looking at pictures of ambassador corrina standing next to. it is this was a writes to venezuela. well if we look back a month germany at that time along with other e.u. member countries did recognize mr goh i don't as interim president and there have then since been statements by mr crean and by the ambassador that were quite supportive of mystical i do and very critical of the old regime but none of that provoked this kind of an action so the fact that this action was taken today just two days after mr greener along with other e.u. diplomats went to the airport to meet me and me to mr why do with the express purpose of ensuring to the extent possible mr safety and freedom from arrest i think we can presume that that is probably the reason that mr maduro's regime chose

to act now and they said in their statement not only that he mr clinton was accused of meddling in the news with us internal affairs but also that the ambassador had associated himself with extremist sectors in the political spectrum so again that would indicate that he is very clear support for mr dillwyn he did also express that support in interviews with the international press is probably the reason for this action at this time and as you mentioned he was one of a number of us to greet one why don't. we can no other countries has been sanctioned in this way. that does seem to be the case again it is a developing situation so we don't know what moves might come next but one possible

explanation and certainly that's something being discussed here in berlin is whether germany is being set up as a kind of an example as a kind of warning and one person who certainly seems to see it that way is one way or himself he said after the declaration that mr crean there would have to leave the country he said that this is an illegitimate government taking an illegitimate action but undoubtedly in order to put pressure not only on germany but on other countries as well linda craig thank you so much. time has been hit by a fresh wave of violence at least seventeen people were killed in a militant attack in the eastern city of jalalabad this all began early on wednesday militants detonating suicide bombs before storming the construction company in the city's airport a five hour shootout saw afghan security forces call in assistance from u.s. troops all five assailants that are dead. this comes as talks between the taliban

and the united states that ending the violence to continue in qatar the taliban's lost a child offensive to try and win over its former enemies on the international community but there are concerns about what their brutal past might mean for the country's future. malawi kalamu dean once wielded enormous power he led the enforcement of taliban regulations during their rule of afghanistan from one thousand nine hundred ninety six to two thousand and one now he's hoping for a comeback as the taliban and the us hold peace talks after years of guerrilla warfare the taliban want to be in charge again callum again says that's long overdue. the. afghans want to live in the shari'a law again about how a holy war wasn't in vain that. all afghans want to shari'a law over again not just the holy warriors from the taliban.

afghanistan under taliban rule movie theaters destroyed films burnt everything considered western was strictly forbidden men were forbidden from shaving their beards women were forced to wear burkas infractions were met with severe punishment prison or death by stoning callen moving today has a different spin on this brutal oppression. we never punished anyone better than those people advice and if we threatened anyone because he didn't have a beard it wasn't because we wanted to be it's one of god's commandments the men as covering up for women. who want to be a law must accept these rules afghanistan is a conservative islamic society but the country has changed in recent years more than half the population is under the age of eighteen most young afghans want the war to end but they reject the idea of others telling them how to live their lives

. at least there isn't censorship of the internet not yet anyway. i'm afraid if a taliban is not just the internet we would lose all of our freedoms. the taliban present themselves as more moderate than before allowing calum again appears on talk shows to promote his interpretation of islam but western analysts consider this a charm offensive not a sign of long term change that is the individual vital to secure individual and democratic rights this is doubtful with the taliban they haven't presented any clear ideas about how they see the future of afghanistan because of. compromises are inevitable to end the war with the taliban these are likely to come at a high price and graeme smith has many years of experience in afghanistan working as the us political affairs officer and as correspondent for the canadian newspaper

the globe and mail he joins us from montreal welcome to g.w. what do you think will come out of these u.s. talks with the taliban. well with any luck we'll get the end of the largest war in the world i mean more people are dying now in afghanistan that in syria and yemen combined last year by some guesses the total is forty four thousand dead combatants and civilians and so when you think about the huge human toll in this conflict. you can understand why there is so much appetite on all sides for an end to the war now is true as your correspondent says there is a lot of exile in the urban parts of comparable because they fear what will happen when the people who live in the villages have a voice politically in the political future of the country and that's understandable because a lot of people in the rural areas disagree with the people in the urban areas but

the fact is we have to find a way for all afghans to live together they have a shared future together and that was by don't need to be had politically and can it and peacefully if the government is excluded from these talks between the u.s. and the taliban. well right now we have a presidential election campaign season getting underway in kabul and so you have not just president ghani who's seeking reelection but a number of political opposition figures vying for power you did see a number of those political opposition figures represented in recent talks with the taliban in moscow but it's true that the president got his team was not represented there needs to be some kind of agreement about format former in traffic and talks and we're likely to see a lot more wrangling. before that actually happens because everyone has their own idea about how those talks amongst afghans should happen and it's going to be tough

getting to the format. so let's speculate that let's look into your crystal ball or let's say that a deal is struck that involves the taliban government what do you think the country would look like and what sort of democracy family would have. well worth noting that even if the taliban are absorbed into the government in some form it would still be a country at war because the taliban are at war with the local isis affiliate isis correspond and the taliban are also at war with of some other small streams groups as is the government and so the expectation would be that gether they would fight to tackle the squares of international jihad as. and then in terms of policies well you know probably there would be some modification of the constitution probably some modification of state institutions and we don't know yet

would have to be negotiated but the point is that that is a conversation has to happen between afghans. and it can't be something that you know i or any other foreigner can dictate but talking to you thank you very clear graeme smith in montreal. this is state of the union's life and still to come renewed concerns of attacks on people with albinism in the east african country of malawi all different campaign is demanding all sources do more to protect. added that will take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world germany says it will extend its ban on arms sales to saudi arabia until the end of march because of the conflict in gamma resent it rescinded existing arms exports last year in response to the killing of journalist to jamal khashoggi of the saudi consulate in istanbul. united states trade deficit surged to

a ten year high in last year's six hundred twenty one billion dollars us despite the trumpet ministration imposing ton of sort of range of imported goods slowing global growth and a stronger dollar are weighing on demand for u.s. goods last year the us are posted record trade deficit with china mexico and the e. . and this sounds former boss carlos ghosn has been delays from prison in japan after posting bail of nearly nine million dollars he's charged with underreporting his salary for years and passing on personal losses to noosa was to go was detained for more than one hundred days but maintains his innocence. it's a way has opened applications for its new citizens income state residents who are less than seven hundred eighty euros a month will receive a prepaid debit cards to pay for groceries bills and rent the initiative fulfills a cape town paid promise a five star movement to use poverty and boost employment. and israel's the hebrew

university has unveiled more than one hundred manuscript pages written by albert einstein include handwritten mathematical notes from the one thousand forces that have never been shown before the german born physicist won the nobel prize for physics in one thousand nine hundred twenty one equal to. scientific and personal writings to west. and north korea's reported to be rebuilding its long range rocket launch site following the collapse of last week's summit with u.s. president donald trump work on dismantling the so hey satellite launching station began last year but satellite images from the u.s. think tanks and south korean intelligence services above the site at the top which i really show evidence of reconstruction the u.s. has warmed the north that it faces fresh sanctions if it fails to denuclearize. baghdad is a senior fellow of the german council on foreign relations is an expert on asia in the fast especially with regard to north and south korea welcome to detail be so

let's start with this this is rocket science itself tom. really. what is it and what does its apparent reconstruction terms. well i think kim has returned from the summit in honduras quite a bit of confusion about what's going on now trump has changed the agenda everything that worst discussed during the consultations before the summit was no longer valid and trump has set a new agenda he wanted an old formula that means he wanted to develop the country economically in return for completed nuclearization that's a very old formula that failed in past negotiations and when that was not accepted he went home and broke up the negotiations completely so now i think what's happened is that the north korean leadership is trying to put up the stakes itself for future negotiations less interesting as the story that came out. was that

this was down to complete denuclearization in exchange for a complete removal of sanctions but you're saying behind that there is this economic push because there was all this talk about a vietnam being held up as a sort of western model of a dictatorship doing its own thing where what was negotiated before was a partial relief of sanctions only the economic sanctions that exists to solve and thanks gene and then in return for some small steps and to nicklas asian models really discussed on the summit and then what was to be agreed was that experts would come together negotiate a process of peace process but also to do nuclear research and poses which would take many years so there won't be any instant results though there has been change with drums and put on them haven't completely and so does this mean then that there are no negotiations it's just the two sides it's just came going his own way well the moment both went home and it remains to be seen how they come back to the table

i think it means to be some discussion health future talks connect you look like if this top down approach can continue where trump is giving orders to. the missionaries or whether they can have some real team that is negotiating with the north koreans a team of experts and then there's always the question of perhaps mediation would be useful because that the moment they're not getting anywhere right folk a well. the world feels a little a little more unsafe since then i'd bet baghdad thank you so much for joining us. sort of the challenges confronting people with albinism the genetic disorder causes haskin and i used to have little or no pigmentation of people with albinism a face to centuries of discrimination on the african continent with many becoming victims of her if it crimes activists in calling on the government to do more to protect people with the disorder who routinely live in fear for their lives. this

young girl might never see her brother again she's afraid he's been murdered because like her he was born with albinism. he was abducted from their home in central malawi three weeks ago the family fear the attackers could return. more grounded i'm worried about my daughter's safety. who. i don't know how i'm going to protect the murderer. i'm really worried move that. the u.n. says one hundred fifty people with albinism in malawi have been attacked abducted or killed in the last five years. and if. we as people with albinism in malawi have no peace and we're not protected. your see. following the boy's abduction in february demonstrators took their

concerns to the streets of malawi stead's a district calling on our thirty's to address the issue. so far the response has been slow you know if you look at. this story as we're hearing our troops have implemented. in tanzania the murderers of. victims of the crime the evil practice has gone way down perhaps the same could work here it could be that. in an attempt to curb the killings the government is now offering a generous reward for information about attacks on people with albinism but some people say the move doesn't go far enough. earlier this year germany are rolled out a plan to tackle a shortage of care workers the government wants to increase trainee numbers by ten percent by twenty twenty three a bosnia as one country that's training doses and sending them to germany and other

e.u. countries but a scandal is threatening to damage the nurses reputation in sarajevo wonderous is outraged at some of her colleagues that actually bought their credentials she says that puts her reputation and people's lives at risk. a lot to do because it has a dream job for twelve years she's worked in a state run home for the aged in sarajevo and she loves it she's highly qualified but the job pays just five hundred euros a month. you have to finish nursing school and that's when i was easy and if you want to learn the sport to study there you have to have excellent grades in school and then the training program takes four years to complete. renowned for their nursing excellence bosnian nursing staff are also sought after abroad in western european countries but now a scandal has tarnished the reputation of bosnian schools. investigative journalist

as are all made of it discovered that several schools in bosnia have sold diplomas to people with no training at all she uncovered the fraud by posing as an interested client. that's all i got i called and asked if they could help me out with retraining. a man said sure and we met up the next day right here where we're sitting now. he told me to bring two thousand five hundred both me and marks on my graduation certificate and then he'd be able to arrange everything. it took exactly seventeen days for me to get the diploma after that first phone conversation based. on marriage and her editorial department secretly filmed her interactions with the fraudster and confronted him when he gave her the diploma the public health

employee refused to name any of his backers. news like that makes me really angry she knows better than anyone how even experienced nurses can make a mistake. with potentially fatal consequences of only putting on it it's playing with people's lives this is a job with a huge amount of responsibility and unqualified person taking responsibility for someone's life i could never do that while on earth would someone do something like that on marriage and her colleagues discovered the diploma she had bought wasn't just a cheap copy of a real one it included certificates and documentation backing it up a foreign employer would never have been able to determine it wasn't authentic the journalists accused bosnian or thirty's that being connected to the criminal enterprise. the scandal is a disaster for nursing schools that play by the rules. time is hit on

all of us this time and this is pointless we study in this school for four long years to take a diploma and hopefully find a job in the field then they come and get the same thing in two weeks. diligent tick tock it just doesn't make sense. at all but. the police informed the state prosecutor's office in sarajevo about the case four months ago so far it hasn't reacted. to rwanda says she's never considered working abroad but for other nursing school graduates who dream of a job in western europe the fraud has made landing one a much tougher proposition. pieces of feminist fare to the us the vagina monologues premiered in new york twenty years ago this week the first ever language production opens in breaking new ground in the country where

sexuality and women's bodies are still very much to. it takes courage to say vagina out loud in myanmar. never mind talking about periods or pleasure when it comes to sex. but these women are warming up getting ready to break taboos. trying to call what we have to start a trend people realize it's ok to talk about these issues thing i want people to understand there's no problem talking about it but that's why i took part in the play. many among the cast say they were taught growing up that bringing up their bodies birth control and especially rape was shameful. much because they could never. get

a movie really where has this play is very powerful for women in myanmar because it's putting the spotlight on women telling their own stories. and we have thousands what. an openness about sexuality is growing like this condom ad it warns men will get a red card in their relationship if they play dirty work with me but he will and reminds them to use a kiss condoms or the. live. but women steering their dialogue in a country where men are said to be born morally superior the place director says there's still a ways to go. moved me to where i have not yet at the stage where feminism is positively accepted to me a ma people are ready to talk about feminism people are ready for questions this is progress for us. and
