i'm done with. paid workers. which tore through. last week. thousands of people from rescue crews are struggling to reach for.

surprises everyone. but. i'm for the program. the government of germany has started the bidding for the right to build the country's next generation mobile phone network telecoms companies have been invited to bed for radio frequencies to operate a ultra fast five g. mobile data networks the technology could have far reaching impacts for example enabling the widespread use of driverless cars. and they're 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 to intersect and enormous but it is 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 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 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. from christoph from d.w. business welcome kristoff start with chua way a very 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 any particular cause. it's particular hardware from this five gene process the german chancellor reiterated that today still there is skepticism over for somebody to the chinese government which is likely to remain because we can expect the united states to keep bringing the alarm over. claims against the way 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. 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 technology away from the market so back to 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 to 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 network so in a situation where germany and i was just today the ok companies can bid for a five g. but germany is also a country renowned for having. broadband in. just shouldn't get that right before a plane with a shiny new five g. told he's right and while carriers will focus on rolling out five g. in cities and other densely populated areas where it's much much easier obviously than than out in the countryside these areas with bad or no reception they do remain a problem and 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 far christof koch we will see but for now thank you the devastation caused by cycling the day after it tore through a symbolic way below in mozambique five days ago is becoming clearer in mozambique alone nearly one hundred people have been confirmed dead the government fears the death toll will rise to more than a thousand according to the red cross they die damaged or destroyed ninety percent of buildings in mozambique supports eighty of bya but many of the devastated and severely flooded areas still cut off the u.n. is urging the international community to help. the situation it's a very. crisis and that must be seen as an impact on quiet says a lot these need it i don't think of the world yet the scale of the problem

especially in mozambique we have a bit less information about zimbabwe in malawi in malawi some of the people displaced start to go back home to rebuild the ormonde in the situation looks a bit bitter there before mozambique it's definitely an impact on quietness additional funding is necessary for the u.n. family and obviously for the world food program. that was how the cleaver has been looking at the situation for people searching for missing family members in mozambique's worst city of byron welcome how how does it look pretty awful actually it's almost impossible to be in touch with people in the really badly hit areas of mozambique and you mention the city of daraa so what i was doing was to see how people are trying to track track their relatives friends friends or relatives outside of the country. often people go to social media to set up pages missing people and try to get themselves safe and stuff mark themselves safe from

people within the dark disaster area it's not been possible but i did have a look at the international red cross page where they've setting up a list of people who have been marked register as missing by their relatives from outside the country amazingly enough at the moment there are twelve people on this list and we must be talking about hundreds probably thousands maybe tens of thousands of people who would eventually be seen as been missing but that just shows i spoke with people from the red cross of how come you can only have twelve people registered as missing and they said it's number one it's still fairly early in the kind of development of this disaster if you like but also it just shows how completely cut off that region is there's no electricity there's therefore no internet and so communication is almost impossible with people there so who else have you been talking with well i also got in touch with two people who are actually looking for relatives who were in that town and. i spoke with

a lady called finn and you can bond he listened been south africa she's actually from that region though she's been trying to look for her mother who's in her early seventy's observing her on her own in fairly central part of town she spent three days calling all the people she could calling her brothers to try to send them to. try to go and see whether their mother was ok you see a picture here on the wall this is this is you know with her mother ship photographs she sent us that we could use. and she spent three days desperately worried about how her mother was her mother lives on the fifth floor there on the fifth floor of a block of flats of six floors the sixth floor was very badly damaged with the roof being torn off but the fifth floor was actually fairly unharmed and after three days she actually got to the son of mozambique on friday to see if she can actually reach her mother to get her to a safer place because there's no water there's no food this it's a real disaster the real question is not not quite

a happy one but the good news that they're going to retrieve thank you. we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world the u.s. president has welcomed his brazilian counterpart. to the white house donald trump told the far right leader who's been dubbed the trump of the tropics but he was looking at nato membership or some other alliance from brazil u.s. president relations have never been closer. thousands of doctors professors and students are valid in the algerian capital and repeated calls for the president to step down president abdelaziz bouteflika has has announced that he will not stand for a fifth term but says he will stay on until a new constitution is adopted a two year old hastert rule for twenty. convicted french cardinal philip says the pope has turned down his offer to resign roman catholic archbishop of lille received a six month suspended sentence this month for failing to report allegations of

child sex abuse against a priest in his diocese in the one nine hundred eighty s. and ninety's he's appealing the judgment. is d.w. news life from. children of the jihad to train to withstand the shocks of war we'll take a look at a documentary that offers a unique insight into the lives of islamic state fighters and this soldier's sons. had a vatican spokesman for british prime minister theresa may says that she will write a letter to president outlining a plan for delaying the u.k.'s exit from the european union but a day after the commons the british house of commons speak of rolled out a third vote on the back seat deal negotiated by skepticism over a delay is growing a new british leader is likely to formally request an extension to article fifty during a summit in brussels on the first day of the blocks chief negotiator michel barnier

is the latest problem to european officials to question the move. out of commons also voted in favor of an extension of law to fill fifty faryab. if prime minister may regress such an extension before you are on serve. three before going to serve a reduced brushless the reason. for an extension. of this from the president a forest watching welcome alex michel buddy that was me exactly yes what do you think will mrs may get a break that delay i think she'll have to get a break that delay but it's very clear them from what michel barnier was saying that they all furious in brussels and they are twenty seven members states with the u.k. that they are the u.k. still in this mess remember that they are jus to leave by law or next friday their

duty thing a year by next friday and less that is changed by another law so that is the situation nobody wants and no deal breaks it but at the same time it is very clear that the e.u. want good reasons to go on to long extension you mentioned the letter that to resume a is pending to donald tusk the e.u. council president and we don't know how long she wants a delay for this talk about up until june but possibly being extended for two years and you can imagine the things that is going on within the e.u. over that he taught on the way of the political and economic cost to the block and it is very very easy for a member state to say no we're not happy for that kind of extension because there has to be unanimity so that the speaker ruled yesterday that service is made cannot bring this this deal back unless it's substantially different despite the us will she try she most certainly will and even michelle bonner has said that at the moment that is still the only deal on the table to ensure that there is an orderly

brix it the question is how does to raise it may bring it back given that ruling by the speaker and there are various scenarios going on and suddenly her legal team and looking at how she can. if she can get the support of the brits it isn't particularly those ten northern irish and do you pm piece if she can finally bring them on side perhaps that would help can she get more concessions from the e.u. this is a huge summit on thursday and friday will she possibility have to get anything to satisfy those bricks it is and we're also hearing that jeremy corbyn the leader of the labor party has been holding talks with the other opposition leaders in parliament and they all saying that if she brings that she has to offer a vote to the public so an affirmative vote like a referendum to ensure that the people get a final say that's the kind of way for him to get around offering a referendum but it is

a complete mess i know i say this to you every time i sit here but it really is a complete mess and by the way a cabinet so the top team around to all completely spits about this few year is some of them that she is offering a delay at all they would still be quite happy for there to be no deal is there a sense of the problems around this deal as a so-called irish backstop what to do with the border between the north of violence in the u.k. and the republic which is going to remain part of the u. there was a meeting today between the irish prime minister and the european council president want a much better yes and i think it was more symbolic it was to say to dump then look brussels is standing with you despite all this mess we know what you're going through and we are with you they did still say that they are preparing for a no deal breck said i do not believe that despite the fact that with us so close to the twenty ninth of march next friday when the u.k. levy is jus to leave i don't think that that will happen but it is just

a chance for them to say we are with you and we are putting the republic of ireland before london. for our exports watching thank you. now the president of kazakhstan has announced that he has to resign from office after thirty years in power in his televised address no sultan has a bias that did not explain why he decided to step down the seventy eight year old has led kazakstan since one thousand eight hundred nine when it was still part of the soviet union he said he would continue to chair the security council and remain leader of the main party in parliament. from moscow with a double correspondent emily show welcome emily what kind of leader has he been. well most of my 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 tell except as a 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 that guy if he will be taking over the presidency and till the next elections which are likely to take place next year as our bias today said that he was handing over to a new generation but that guy is certainly no bias 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. and with us fighters of islamic state in syria under siege their future of their founders is uncertain many of the children have received military training and traumatized in an oscar nominated documentary called off fathers and sons syrian filmmaker reveals just how problematic it may be to rehabilitate the children of jihadi fighters. this is the jihad is training camp for children they drilled to be unshockable. to face day 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. a group inspired by al qaeda the syrian filmmaker. came to the region to shoot the documentary of fathers and sons he spent over two years living with the summer and his family gradually gaining their trust by pretending to sympathize with their course this gave an insight into the process that turns innocent children into jihadist fighters i want to understand. how you become what you are who are those people from the inside what is the chords what is the thing. to bring more to the people. in some ways the family appears quite normal the children are boarded up in an environment where there's love and care but also radical religious education or samas father has been

a member of the terrorist group for two decades he trains his sons to follow in his footsteps from their earliest years the intimacy of family life and the horrors of 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. their father from the moment his son was born he named osama bin laden and that's mean that the kids in all his life he 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 families to fight in just heard they now face an uncertain future. scientists at harvard university in the united states of released a new study into the why animals regenerate their bodies have uncovered what they're calling a d.n.a. switch which might one day lead to humans being able to regenerate lost limbs there are plenty of examples in nature some species of salamander can be grow seven to lengths some lizards shed their tails to escape danger and then really grow the other animals going further and jellyfish for example can regenerate the whole bodies after being cut in half and c.n.n. has can do the same. man serious of a star is professor of evolutionary biology at harvard university research group discovered this master 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 in simple terms what 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 degenerate anything with 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 functions 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 and turning the switches on and off ok so what we want to know that is

how do we have these genes and could we want a 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 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 are where it really is basic science research where we try to understand how these animals 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. mansouri. professor of evolutionary biology in the dead of thank you for joining us here at the doubly. well to sports on monday leo messi joined argentina's national team for the first time since the twenty eighteen world cup today his perennial rival christiane iran although followed suit win although rejoined his national team portugal after not being called up since the tournament in russia in the coming days portugal face ukraine and serbia in qualifiers for euro twenty twenty. one does the club hoffenheim finally announce their coach for next season it'll be alfred schneider who's currently assistant coach at amsterdam will succeed a union man who back in june agreed to move to leipsic at the end of this season before joining us in january twenty eighth reuters spent two years as novels
