12:04 pm
korea to china and the u.s. and can you what can you tell us most people just expect to shoes off this summer of love was it so important for him. the summit was really important. because after the failed summit with donald trump he really wanted to broaden his or. international allies that he can you know kind of work or use leverage on to get some kind of easing of economic sanctions right now north korea is really hurting from the u.n. sanctions that have the fact the in the country who last couple years and it's looking for some kind of lean especially as the stimulator ization deal isn't happening very quickly. and really asked me could russia was keen on raising has gone commercial nuclear program and they did in these talks was any indication that some progress was made on this issue. well speaking after the talks flooding here
12:05 pm
putin said that north korea wants further security guarantees including on its sovereignty the sovereignty of the country itself in order to go forward with a deed nuclearized nation process he also emphasized that russia has. a lot in common when it comes to their position on denuclearize ation with the u.s. he said again that russia is interested in do nuclear arising and in the korean peninsula peninsula being denuclearize and also in nonproliferation around the world more generally after all for russia this is an important issue as well because they want stability on their border we shouldn't forget that russia after all shares a land border with north korea and putin was also very much advocating continuing talks continuing to build trust including by bringing in the chinese who are actually part of
12:06 pm
a previous form out of six way talks up until two thousand and nine so we may see more diplomatic wrangling and a broadening of conversation a broadening of the people brought to the table on the. on this issue on this crisis and kitty a bunch of the nuclear issue people young is in desperate economic freeze this is getting any support from russia on the easing of sanctions that you mentioned earlier and possibly financial aid. you know so far we don't really know there's not a sign declaration after this meeting but we do know that north korea definitely had every reason to talk about economic sanctions as well as other forms of economic cooperation and so far you know north korea has had ten thousand migrant workers and russia and according to you know the same sentence imposed by the u.s. and russia is supposed to expel those workers by the end of this year so i'm sure much of the conversation was about how can they keep those workers in their longer
12:07 pm
especially since the united states estimates that about five hundred million dollars so significant about money comes into north korea or workers around the world every year. this insulin emily show and indeed obvious moscow bureau thank you both very much for your reporting to some breaking news the largest talks between these two biggest lenders dortch a bank and commits bank have been called off potential risks and restructuring costs but cited as the deal it was backed by jim the finance minister who wanted to create a national banking champion but the idea was met with opposition with critics fearing the loss of some thirty pounds and jobs. now for more on the story our financial correspondent joins us from outside the
12:08 pm
door to bonn headquarters in franklin welcome only how much of a surprise was this last minute collapse of these large atoll. well the group spokesman of the deutsche bank just addressed journalists me included outside but dutch a bank tower here which were standing in front and he said that they had had six weeks of talks that were in a partner kind of atmosphere fair a good atmosphere and they'd taken a long time to look at the ups and downs the positives and negatives of this merger and it came to the conclusion that it wasn't in the interests of either bank and he stressed that there were all sorts of risks involved when you when you look at what it meant for the restructuring costs you have to put money up front for their capital basis and of course also for their for their business plan and he says that deutsche bank feels confirmed in the decision not to go ahead with a strong first quarter as he says because the dutch a bank also put out numbers for the quarter yes there is
12:09 pm
a profit two hundred million not all under under that's a net profit not that strong when you look at it in comparison to other banks but the bank itself feels comfortable with its decision because of the this background i guess of these talks have been going on for a while but both banks have decided to pull back from the brink and what does it mean for the two banks and called matzoh bank. well i thought i didn't think that they did themselves a favor by entering into these talks because it raised a lot of expectations and really put the focus on what the problems and each of the banks were the dutch a bank has to see that its share doesn't drop down more that it remains stable and remains profitable to come out spunk could see itself as a takeover object there were a lot of banks several european banks actually that were said to be interested no confirmation of that it could be taken over but then again with
12:10 pm
a very weak business model weak profits probably other banks will look twice at jumping in now that georgia has set no one just the collapse of this mega mudgal have any implications for the why did jim win all the european banking sector. well it looks like the both banks will have to contend with the super competitive german banking industry in contrast to many other banking markets they have lots of competition locally and regionally from cooperative banks and from states controlled savings banks european wise. there's there's going to be a bit less pressure because there's not going to be that one big european champion that would have been a long way down the road even with a merger they would have had to contend with all the other issues first but but less pressure on the other banks and perhaps at some point when it remains it becomes clear that maybe one of them does actually need
12:11 pm
a partner and someone else could come in so that having you as opened up basically by that decision today. not only bought in front foot great to chat to you. thank you. let me bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the wild environmental activists of the kids of the london stock exchange and climbed onto the roof of a train a spot of protest urging britain to take action on climate change the group or extinction rebellion wants the government to declare a climate emergency and eliminates carbon emissions by two thousand and twenty five . five million had a property. that's according to new data from a gilded forest watch tropical freeze assets as a defense against climate change and the such as a cause for urgent action against deforestation. footballer fees each minute. researches have expressed the collapse of the key emperor penguin breeding

12:13 pm
by muslim groups but many in the community say they feel vulnerable the w.'s. has sent us this report. she could not him back home after today it's thought he's too scared to spend the night in his house in a consulate for injured another church sunday easter sunday a few hundred metres from where he lives a massive loss hit the macomber church. he had the next day with his three young children and wife. and i feel or feel more traits that we had received so since we had being in the in the to the main drop so we thought off. and also being with that with the children we secured and that is the reason what we're what made us to be site believed houses here. she has restricted about the attacks and feels guilty that the bopper treated us other themed religion
12:14 pm
that's him. he's holding local christians not to think of him and his family as tentative. all along his street the homes and shops office muslim neighborhoods are. several muslim one businesses were attacked after the bombings. president the spear in the city. bought christian and muslim communities in sri lanka have been targeted by book to stick street must in the past muslims and christians in the country have who existed peacefully so far the easter sunday bombings set off tensions between the two minority communities for the first time. local muslims have tried to show their support holding prayer sending condolences and emphatically condemning the attacks . but with the traditional friday prayers just around the corner muslims body it
12:15 pm
may not be safe to congregate. a small but vocal group a few long guns are trying to help them. they're from different religions and ethnicities and i'm trying to find a reason for using the backlash muslims are now free from. religious leaders from both communities are meeting to express their concerns as well as their solidarity . crackdowns against minorities are not unknown in sri lanka and a national emergency has been declared here again just as it was during the two decades of civil war that's a really good day's work after the nine eleven incident in the us in the name of national security and countering terrorism and in sri lanka we have an experience of civil liberties being curtailed dramatically during the course of the war and he went after the war in the name of fighting supply terrorism so there is a worry that the similar situation merits probably against muslims this time. muslims and christians have always kept a respectful distance. now there is hope that the easter sunday bombings could
12:16 pm
serve as a reason to build stronger bridges between the two communities. and that support by due to abuse in the mission justified we stay in colombo i have on the line journalist jamila within jamila the muslim community is fearing a backlash as we heard the country's on edge how wanted lankans about the prospect of more violence. yeah sri lankans extremely worried and afraid right now or fourth been happening in the coming days and i definitely living on the edge in fact today most offices in colombo prevented them from going out due to a bomb scare and as you said most seemed also extremely scared and many muslims have not left their homes seen sunday i'm also hearing reports that change tomorrow is a bright day many mosques are going to be closed and day mom's. not to come to a pay as in fact just a short while ago i got to know the archbishop who says has urged us churches to remain closed in the coming days is
12:17 pm
a form of assurances given that brings us to it so things are not too good here at the moment. as he does a government has admitted to a midget lapse in security in connection with these attacks and they need help and looking round at a group of national jo reed jim up and t.j. is still not large what is the government doing to restore confidence that it can protect the. there right now there is not much confidence in the government by p.s. to the president this or that his defense secretary and police chief to resign all of them as a security lapses which are led to the east attacks and today we are hearing reports that the president met all party leaders in the morning to discuss several issues and today evening he is going to be meeting the heads of all the religious community there is to assure them that about one month a meeting be given to the cost of them but right now the public this angry not a bit but in fact a lot that despite having time and knowledge about these attacks i think what
12:18 pm
measures will not take on it so the government can have to do quite a lot to convince a public that they can look after them in the days ahead and you just learn about the suspected suicide bombers apparently they were or sri lanka and some of them came from well to do families what's been the reaction among people to these details. people are really shocked that in fact almost all the bombers came from very rich and influential backgrounds and some want to be you know what the government has told us so far is that. these people are extremely popular in the neighborhood where they live because they had a history of helping the poor what we're hearing right now is that one of the bombers was it was a freeman and she was the wife to call for another suicide bomber blew herself up we took two children when police car not telling democrats in the capital on sunday we also hearing reports that the father of two of the suicide suspected suicide
12:19 pm
bombers is now in police custody and he is the way to reach an intervention by street to street to me shocking to not that most of the bombers came from very influential and richer backgrounds but in the coming days we will have more information on this dry journalist jimmy knowledge with the industry lankan capital colombo thank you very much thank you. today is was malaria day it's a disease that was once on the decline but now efforts to contain it have stored the world has all the official estimates malaria killed four hundred and thirty five thousand people in two thousand and seventeen alone this is at a time when international research funding is declining correspondent sent us this report from mozambique. here in the village of. the waiting room at the medical center is overcrowded fourteen year old and his mother are among those who have
12:20 pm
been waiting here for hours. in. my head always feel so hot in the night i lost my appetite my legs feel heavy as if there's hardly any blood flowing through them. as a village was destroyed when syke let me die tore through the area flattening most buildings and destroying them and the subsequent flooding even the medical center was damaged by a falling tree. the force of nature and the destruction are still visible all over . but while the reconstruction is continuing there's a major concern right now diseases and in particular malaria. some parts of the region are still submerged providing ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes and his mother have had to sleep in the open with no protections against the insects since their home was destroyed you may get to the bridge and have any mosquito nets i was swept away in the floods along with
12:21 pm
a whole house no one has given us new nets and. finally turned to see the doctor the only one at this clinic. here's a confirmed he has malaria like so many others of the patients seen here by dr candy to add to it in recent weeks. following the cycle the number of malaria and diarrhea cases has increased compared to previous months and. i think some areas are still waterlogged after the psycho and the floods that's where the mosquitoes breed . we need to launch a campaign just stop the mosquitoes from spreading. mother receives the mets and he needs in exchange for a symbolic fee of one cents a good thing since that's just about all she can afford to pay now she can only
12:22 pm
hope that the drugs work and that she and i will soon have a roof as well as mosquito nets over their heads. joining me now is scientist levi she now from the max planck institute for infection biology welcome dr levy now milly's it is a disease that was once on the decline but it's making a comeback what explains this the short answer to this question is we are not treating sure it's it came as a surprise because there were helium massive efforts to contain the deceased for use tribulation all of insecticide treated mats and trip months and they believe it's reflects one of the usual cycles of my area distribution and so we have to understand the factors which drive one area and that's an attempt you're making it to do in the lab it's effective also being out in the field in africa now a new and malaria vaccination campaign is being lost in some african countries it's
12:23 pm
been described as a breakthrough tell us about this funded project and this is really an exciting time and really is a story quick because that's for the first time ever we have launched my area works in nation complain and pre-conscious and offer it come and it is a national wide campaign so all kids will be vaccinated with this vaccine now this vaccine is not yet the dream product it does not prevent infection but it prevents their deaths of the kids and if they can buy one heart for the number of kids who are dying from malaria i think it's really we're on now other than the downsides of this vaccination how affordable is it for people because as we saw in our report many of the people who were affected by this disease in fairly kind of weak financial situations i think this first campaigns are fully supported by the governments of the contras for encaged into this process and also by numerous
12:24 pm
foundations for give money to pay for this license this campaign is also will help us to. stand back tom how do you create new work force and truck sales to prevent infections at all so you're optimistic about this funded project and what about other techniques up there in the scientific world to cope with malaria because it affects large parts of the world in asia and africa and south america and that's absolutely true and i think again i'm very optimistic and i think we are living in exciting times because at different angles there are multiple trolls now which i've been developed to stop malaria thinking about mosquito control for gene drives up locations which are not yet ready for application but will be in their soul and development of new powerful lessons right dr. from the max planck institute thank you very much for sharing your expertise with us.
