this is the w.'s line from germany's five g. mobile data frequencies go up for auction who will barely passed out from obama networks and can it be done without. the chinese tech giant huawei also on the program. paid work to sound the alarm for survivors of sites for me which told through southeast africa last week floodwaters are endangering thousands of people and rescue crews are struggling to be true most. presidents of found yourself

by have surprised everyone by announcing he's stepping down after thirteen years but doesn't say why the details from our correspondent in moscow. i'm still going to welcome to the program the german government to start of the bidding for the right to build the country's next generation mobile phone network telecoms companies have been invited to bid for radio frequencies to operate to fast five g. mobile data networks the technology could have a far reaching impact for example enabling the widespread use of driverless cars. and there off an old fashioned stopwatch 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 to intersect and enormous but it is enormous potential here because you want to be a part of the gigabyte society at the forefront of the industry four point zero era it's therefore extremely important that these frequencies are brought to market quickly so the industry can create a new business model. step by step the new mobile phone standard will replace the current l.t.e. technology and 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. china's who our way will build the technology that makes the network possible allowing the company to deliver the technology to germany as controversial wow is 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. from christoph from d.w.

business welcome christophe. chua way of very role is controversial will telecoms companies be allowed to use that 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 in aerated that today still there is skepticism over and it's for somebody to the chinese government which is likely to remain because we can expect the united states to keep bringing the alarm over. espionage claims against walk away not telecoms companies for their part they have always defended huawei they 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 of their 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 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 we're almost away 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 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 companies come and bid for a five g. but germany is also a country renowned for having. broadband infrastructure so shouldn't get votes right before playing with these shiny new five g. toys 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 they do remain a problem and that's why the germ. the 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 far christof koch we will see but for now thank you of the devastation caused by side close on a day after it told through zimbabwe malawi on mozambique five days ago is becoming clearer in mozambique alone eighty four people have been confirmed dead the government fears the death toll will rise to more than a thousand according to the red cross it i damaged or destroyed ninety percent of buildings in mozambique supports it. meanwhile in neighboring zimbabwe around three hundred people dead all missing. survivors dig graves for the victims of cycle. is the worst hit district in zimbabwe. scores are dead and still many more are missing. my mother my father my two younger

a children. trained to withstand the shocks of war will take a look at a documentary that offers a unique insight from lives of islamic states rights has come. the soldiers. had a fab brecht sitting with just ten days to go before the u.k. is due to leave the european union the present process is looking increasingly chaotic but its prime minister had hoped to put a withdrawal plan to a third parliamentary vote this week after lawmakers rejected it twice but the speaker of the house of commons has ruled that the reason they can only put the deal to parliament again if it has been substantially substantially altered so what options. greg's a task i know there are hurdles. this time it came on monday at westminster and delivered by the speaker of the house of commons. what would government

carol legitimately do is to resubmit to the house the same proposition or substantially the same proposition as last of last week which was rejected by one hundred forty nine i think. burke owes intervention sent to resume a government into a constitutional tailspin and may force the british prime minister to request an extension to article fifty at thursday's e.u. summit in brussels her brags that secretary gave some indication of a timeframe. well the objective of the prime minister is to secure the deal i want to have a short technical extension to allow for the ratification of that deal because that is no inevitable. in brussels patience is wearing thing with the united kingdom. france is europe affairs minister made her feelings clear. the next tension what

for it's always a question i mean time is not a solution it's a method if there is an objective and if there is a strategy and it has to come from london her german counterpart appeared so. exasperated the clock is ticking and time is running out to be. really exhausted by these negotiations and i expect clear and precise proposals of the british government why such an extension is necessary it's not just again it's an extremely serious situation. back in london britain's two main parties continue with their squabble in the political playground. of. mass from the w.'s of brics it analyst alex forrest watching well alex so i week on friday is the big day that britain is due to leave the e.u. is not going to happen well by law that is still the official date for the u.k.

to leave the e.u. but i don't think that is likely i think that what we know that at the moment in may is penning a letter to the e.u. council president asking for an extension which is going to be given to him either tonight or tomorrow we don't know how long it lasts for downing street won't say but we think that it saying a provisional end date of the end of june of this year but that it could be extended for up to. a huge delay the reason may and for the government and something she didn't want to happen. makes it difficult for her but just look at some of those responses that we had an also we have just heard from the. michelle bonnie a who has still said that may's deal is the only basis for an orderly exit speaking of the deal that refuses to die she's tried twice to bring it to fall into the plan was to bring it

a third time after the speaker's intervention will she try again so she that the plan was that it would come back either tonight or tomorrow clearly that is not going to happen but it's also very clear that she is going to try and bring it next week. and she's going to try and find a way around the speaker's ruling to to prove that there are substantial changes perhaps that she does have the support from those bricks it is in her party and from those at the d u p m p's those northern irish m.p.'s who don't like the deal at the moment and also perhaps she can win some more concessions from the e.u. at this summit on thursday and friday although that still looks very difficult for what we are hearing is that the labor party that's the main opposition party has been holding talks with other opposition leaders today saying that she must ensure that if a deal comes it has to be put to a public vote off too and so an affirmative referendum this would then get jeremy cool been around this whole problem of

a referendum something that many in his party want to see happen but that he is not himself in favor of ok so you counsel president. because maybe i was prime minister in dublin today because the irish backstop this is the big stumbling block what does come out of very well i think more than anything this is symbolic this is to say to everyone look at the e.u. twenty seven is united with the republic of ireland with up in they are the country that we are most concerned about we know that there is this huge mess going on in london nobody quite knows how it's going to end but that we are with you and they did make it very clear that they are still preparing for a no deal but as i've said before i think that that is increasingly unlikely but at least for the irish prime minister it does yet again show that the e.u. is with ireland the brits i'm guessing must be awfully sick of this whole process by now. and indeed all they blaming the political leaders i mean everyone is

sick of westminster and politicians at the moment that is very clear but interestingly the latest polls are saying that more of the public coming around to the reason may. dale and there's been an increase of around about five percent since last week so with of those polled said yes they would now support dale compared to i think it was twenty percent last week which is interesting in itself but even if there were to be an election which of course we can't rule out the polls is still saying that despite the mess the conservative party would still win ten percent they have polling ten percent more than labor said that just shows fail what a mess the british political system is in at the moment like forest lighting thank you. things are much more stable in kazakhstan where the president has announced after thirty years he's actually residing in

a televised address a town that nazarbayev said he taken the difficult decision to step down but gave no reason the seventy eight year old has left the oil rich nation since one thousand nine hundred ninety when it was still part of the soviet union though stepping down the president said he would continue to chair the security council and remain leader of the main party in parliament. this from moscow with a double correspondent emily show welcome emily what kind of leader has he been. well most of the 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 that stability in the whole region and pissed off the head of the spokes person 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 of 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 index so certainly a strong man with an author or a tarion reputation as it were people talk about telecom as a as a nation moving towards more democracy but despite this that the next president is

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 that guy if he will be taking over the presidency and till the next elections which are likely to take place next year by of today said that he was handing over to a new generation but the guy is certainly no bias the 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. the last fight is of the so-called islamic state in syria under siege their future about their families is uncertain many of the children

war are never far apart. but. 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. the father and from the moment his son is born he named him she knew osama bin laden and that's mean that the kids in all his life you don't have a choice. are summer 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 families to fight in just heard they now face an uncertain future.
