twenty. this is true that we do slide from the japanese five frequencies go up for auction who will build the ultra fast robot that works can it be done without hardware made by chinese tech giant huawei. on the program a worker sam the long haul survivors of cycling to day bridge through southeast africa last week floodwaters are endangering the thousands of people or rescue

crews are struggling to reach remote areas. president of kazakhstan. biafra surprises everyone by announcing he's stepping down of the thirteen years but doesn't say why yet the details from our correspondent in moscow. i'm phil gayle welcome to the program the german government's the start of the bidding for the right to build the country's next generation network telecoms companies have been invited to bid for radio frequencies to operate ultra fast five g. mobile networks the technology could have a far reaching impact for example enabling the widespread use of driverless cars. and there off an old fashioned stuff watch counted down to the auction for the next generation mobile phone standard five g.

during the first round the bidders had staked nearly three hundred million euros for operators are in the running to secure the frequency blocks and drag germany up from a lowly forty sixth in the world for download speeds. enormous but it has enormous potential here because we want to be a part of the gigabyte society at the forefront of the industry four point zero era and it's therefore extremely important that these frequencies are brought to market quickly industry can create a new business model. step by step the new mobile phone standard will replace the current l.t.e. technology and boost data transmission speeds one hundred fold that will make operations such as this possible via video link with live images and medical data transmitted through the ultra fast five g. network. chinas who are away will build the technology that makes the network possible allowing the company to deliver the technology to germany as controversial wow as connections to the government in beijing have fueled fears that the chinese

could use five g. tech for espionage chancellor angela merkel says stringent telecommunications laws will be drafted to prevent that. christophe from d.w. business welcome christophe. chua way of very role is controversial will telecoms companies be allowed to use their infrastructure yes telecom companies will be allowed to use hallway hardware the government today again said that they would not exclude a particular company and its particular hardware from this five g. process the german chancellor reiterated that today still there is skepticism over and its proximity to the chinese government which is likely to remain because we can expect the united states to keep bringing the alarm. over. claims against way not telecoms companies for their part they have always defended huawei they

have said we even as we've checked the hardware authority we have never had any indication of espionage whatsoever also there is tons of. hardware out there already in existing networks and if we were to refrain from using hardware to roll out five g. it would take an additional two years. there are other supply as well yeah they are but they don't have the technology and the capacity if you take away who is the world leader when it comes to the technology away from the market so that's a five g. than just today's launch of bidding mean that we are just moments away from this super duper brave new world of shiny brand new five g. no it does not mean that was almost twenty from the super bowl per well world of five g. network telecom which is one of the big players says it'll take at least until twenty twenty one for the technology to be implemented and they expect industrial

customers to use it first before private users on top of that today smartphones wouldn't even be able to handle the technology so far but we know once the technological environment is there then the hardware tends to pop up which makes it which makes it usable and once the network is running we can expect applications to also appear which heavily rely on that very same level so in a situation where germany and i was just today the ok companies come and bid for five g. but germany is also a country renowned for having a poor broadband infrastructure so shouldn't get that right before playing with the shiny new five g. toadies right and while carriers will focus on rolling out five g. and cities and other densely populated areas where it's much much easier obviously than out in the countryside these areas with bad or no reception day during a problem that's why. the german government linked this process of five g. to an overall improvement of broadband coverage in germany because if telecom

companies successfully bid for one of these five g. frequencies they are then obliged to also improve their their regular network for that matter so there is hope that five g. will also be beneficial to those who might not even use it so for the christof koch we will see but for now thank you for the devastation caused by cycling die to be told through zimbabwe malawi in mozambique five days ago is becoming clearer in mozambique alone eighty four people have been confirmed dead though the government fears the death toll will rise to more than a thousand according to the red cross he died damaged or destroyed ninety percent of buildings in mozambique support city of by ira meanwhile in neighboring zimbabwe around three hundred people dead or missing. survivors dig graves for the victims of psycho need i.

say is the worst hit district in zimbabwe. scores are dead and still many more are missing. my mother my father my two younger sisters including the one who had brought us food earlier and the one with the child. my house was destroyed in the floods and i was buried underneath my daughter who was in bed with me was washed away from me a big a flood carried my father away. there. has wreaked havoc on zimbabwe's infrastructure making it hard to assess the extent of the devastation. the human cost. i'm going to see my family i don't know how they're doing because there is no communication and the roads are inaccessible because of the heavy rains and i'm not

sure how will find my way. rescuers are struggling to reach people in the afflicted areas. these boys were trapped for two days but they are among the lucky ones a boulder crashed through their school dorm killing three people. w's privileged fan here he says many more lives are at stake. this situation in zimbabwe and mozambique in the aftermath of. that afflicted the two neighboring countries is getting desperate particularly in money with people having to walk long distances because they've been cut out from essential services bridges have been washed away vehicles contrary to those areas where people need assistance in this area you can see the odd cars composite these police taking in the mud we have spoken to. people along the way we have doctors without borders also

trying to reach people we affected but they can't reach those areas because it's virtually impossible. for the president of kazakhstan has announced cease to resign from office after years in power in a televised address no sultan of said he taking the difficult decision to step down but gave no reason seventy eight year old who led the oil rich nation since one thousand eight hundred ninety when it was still part of the soviet union those stepping down he said he would continue to chair the security council and remain leader of the main party in college. from moscow with the. emily show welcome emily what kind of leader has he been. well know so by if was the first and only post soviet president of kazakhstan he was also very much part of the old guard he

was head of the communist party of kazakhstan during the soviet union just before the fall of the soviet union and he they have the his country has always been a close and reliable partner for russia the country is part of the eurasian economic union along with russia and belarus and you could really tell from the reactions here in russia today how close a partnership that really was people were celebrating his him as a guarantor of still the stability in the whole region and pissed off the head the spokesperson of the kremlin said that he was a leader who wanted to close relations with his neighbors but in the west his reputation has been rather a different one he's definitely been known as a strongman and or thora tarion leader rights groups have accused him of restriction restricting freedom of assembly restricting freedom of speech currently

the country ranks one hundred fifty eighth out of one hundred eighty countries on the reporter without borders freedom of speech in that so certainly a strong man with an author or a tarion reputation as it were people talk about telecom as a nation moving towards more democracy but despite this that the next president is still to be appointed. well absolutely at the moment it seems that the head of the of the senate has the presidential powers will pass to him according to the constitution his name is caius he will be taking over the presidency until the next elections which are likely to take place next year as are biased today he said that he was handing over to a new generation but the guy is certainly not biased man he served as foreign

minister and as prime minister under him so we'll have to see how much democracy how much more democracy will really get in the country in the show and in moscow thank you. says the dublin news live from berlin still to come harnessing the animal kingdom is amazing because of regeneration we'll take a look at a new study that discovered how things really grow their body parts how this might one day benefit us. head about we'll look at some of the other stories making news around the world a dutch police have arrested a man suspected of carrying out monday's shooting in trekked coming three people rooting out of his prosecutors say they're now investigating a possible terrorist groups have after police found supporting evidence in the attackers get america. museums prime minister special not to speak the name of the gunman who killed fifty people in last week's attack on two blasts in christ church

just into our own so it's the public and the media to avoid giving him recognition and to focus instead on the victims and survivors committing this atrocious of the flooding across the u.s. midwest has left at least three people dead two hundred ninety others have been rescued after the missouri river flooded much of the state of nebraska the region has suffered hundreds of millions of dollars worth of damage in the process government described this is supposed to widespread disaster in the state's history . and i'm going back and says she and other european union leaders will fight to the last hour to secure an orderly breck said the german chancellor was taking questions after addressing the global solutions summit which is being held to prepare policy recommendations for the g twenty summit in japan in june if you had a bit so let's. fight until the last hour of march twenty ninth for an orderly brax it. common we don't have a lot of time but it's

a few days until then i need to talk abut at this moment i cannot comment on what my position will be on thursday because it heavily depends on i want to raise some may well think about what the situation will not like what will happen in the british parliament to all that we as twenty seven countries will come up with a unified reaction. that was just ten days to go before britain is jus to leave the european union the breadth of process is looking increasingly chaotic on monday the speaker of the house of commons announced as a vote on to raise the most precious it deal would not take place unless it differed substantially from the previous versions which parliament to has already rejected twice the ruling took the government on lawmakers by surprise so we asked of berliners how they thought the a you should handle this latest twist in the backseat saga. i think you should be tough because i think in england the punch and judy show is taking place on the other hand there is a good side to this because those who are against the e.u.

are now seeing what happened it acts as a deterrent. effect and. you don't have to stick to hard deadlines just because they're there you have to see what's best for the e.u. . and the best option would be to consider how you can help. if you haven't found the right solution yet then you can't leave the you you have to sit down and find a solution to force a decision just because the deadline is now i don't like that. i think we should act in a consideration manner so we can persuade the british to rethink and unite the european union again after all it's not good for either side if we. win another man . scientists at harvard university in the united states have released a new study into the way animals regenerate their bodies they've uncovered what they call that d.n.a. switch which might one day lead to humans being able to be generally lost the limbs

there are plenty of examples in nature some species of salamander can recross seven legs some lizards shape their tails to escape and then we grow them other animals go even further and jellyfish for example can regenerate the whole bodies after being cut in half and c.n.n. can do the same. all non-serious are of a stock is professor of evolutionary biology tophet university research group discovered this mass the gene responsible for a whole body d.n.a. regeneration and she joins us from delhi welcome to d.w. so can you tell us that is simple terms what you have learned by about the way that animals regenerate their body parts. so we were studying a particular type of learned that can regenerate any of its missing body parts and call the three banded together worm and we've focused particularly on the part of

the d.n.a. that does not end up making protein so most of the time when we talk about genes we're talking about a small portion of the genome that ends up making protein that makes our bodies but it turns out that that vast majority of other d.n.a. has important function and we found these regulatory switches that are responsible for turning genes on as the process of regeneration starts in these worms and in particular we focus on one of the proteins that's responsible for across the genome turning the switches on and off ok so what we want to know then is how do we have a chains and could we won day be able to regenerate various a body parts. so that's a two part question that the first part is easier to answer so certainly the genes that we study in this worm and the types of very literary d.n.a.

we were looking at are present in the human genome and in fact what the gene we focus on that is e.g. are does get activated in human cells and tissues when we are injured or stressed but what it does not end up doing in humans is causing this kind of very extensive regeneration but how we can use that information to actually do something in humans i think is a much much longer term goal that i think my colleagues in the my medical her would be focusing on that our work really is basic science research where we try to understand how these animals that are really good at regenerating are able to do it with the hope of someday in forming human regeneration but probably not in the short term ok so with the baby steps by believe we'll start with worms and work ourselves a human beings when you assess our own this this this research track who do you have to convince that this is

a good idea. and i think you know ultimately it's the funding agencies right i think one of the privileges of doing this kind of research is that we get to have freedom in asking really good questions and i think good questions you know people find a reason to believe in that and i think that idea that there are so many animals out there in nature that can regenerate every single missing cell time is something that's fascinating and of interest to pretty much everyone and so i think we have to convince our colleagues of the research are good do convince our agencies and. so close mansouri service star was professor of evolutionary biology in the dell it looks like the technology let us down right at the end but thank you for joining us here at d w. where the last of fighters of the so-called islamic state in syria

under siege their future and that of their families is uncertain many of the children have received military training and are traumatized in an oscar nominated documentary called our fathers and sons syrian filmmaker. reveals just how problematic it could be to rehabilitate the children of jihadi fighters. this is that your heart is training camp for children they drilled to be unshockable. to face death without showing any signs of weakness to become hardened militants from a young age. or some i was sent here by his father who is it to harvest himself. these images were filmed in northern syria not far from the border with turkey. the camp was run by the terrorist group.

war are never far apart. the children's play time is also dominated by themes of war or violence one game involves playing with a makeshift bomb with even the youngest children involved. one day the boys catch a bird and kill it. god. the father inside from the moment his son is born he named the machine you have been led in and that's mean that the kids in all his life you don't have a choice. and the many other radicalized children and young men in syria have known little else in their lives but violence and war forced to leave their

that made him the subject of a late bidding war between two buyers in china the winning bid more than one and a quarter million euros three times the previous record. was in office. we got up this morning and thinking is it going to rise a lot more or not and we hope for a little more as we've already broken the record and that was already a serious amount for he has more than doubled in value it's incredible. this on the low floor. but bridges across europe are benefiting from the popularity of pitching racing in china where the sport is considered something of a luxury for george sr it's it's nearly time to let go of his prized possession for amanda soon to retire from racing and life in starter weights he'll be tasked with fathering a new generation of winners as his new owners try to wreak their investment.

is really on the top stories at this hour germany has loads the option for the rights to construct an ultra fast five gene mobile network and there are four bidders so far the big question is whether the pressure from the united states will prevent the use of equipment made by the chinese tech giant why. five days after cycling devastated parts of southeast africa rescue crews are still struggling to reach victims aid groups say many survivors the trapped in remote areas cut off by flooding in mozambique it's feared that the told by top. don't forget you can always get the w. news on the go just download apps for google play or from the apple still not give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news channel's music such as photos. coming up next is kick off with the highlights of the major sponsors link up much as i'll be back at the top. of the day.
