then the advisors in the eastern russian city of the they discussed a variety of issues including security on the korean peninsula kim is believed to be seeking support for ending international sanctions imposed over north korea's nuclear program just two months ago a summit with the us president govern from groups over that issue let's take a look first at what kim and person had to say at the end of that meeting but good to see you of course we spoke about the situation on the korean peninsula we exchanged views on you want needs to be dumb says that we can improve the situation in the future ali and i don't this is just us the korean peninsula and the regional political situation which is garnered the urgent attention of the world and we also held deep discussions on strategic ways to pursue stability in the regional political situations and on matters of jointly managing the situations and the need for more let me draw in em you show in detail the scotus fondant in moscow and

joining us from phil south korea is joining us. most come to both of you let me start with you i mean a summit is wrapped up it was a full of sound the two leaders the meeting here was given a very warm welcome what came out of the meeting go. well we didn't really see any big breakthroughs coming out of this meeting after all this was the first time that the two leaders met at all as you say so this was really very much the two leaders sizing each other up and it seems that they came out of the talks with a kind of basis for a friendly relationship judging from what putin had to say after the meetings he gave a small press conference and he said that kim was an open person he called the discussions that they had had open as well and he also said that russia had kind of assumed somewhat of a mediator role we'll have to see what that means going forward but he said that kim had said that everything that they had discussed could be passed on to other

countries and that russia would pass on what kim had said the position of north korea to china and the u.s. and can you what can you tell us most people junk phones that it's left issues also this summer of love was it so important for him. the summit was brilliant or and. 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 been affecting the country who last couple of years and it's looking for some kind of especially as a. deal is that happening very quickly. and really asked me could russia was keen on raising pyongyang 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 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 nuclearize ation process he also emphasized that russia has. a lot in common when it comes to their position on denuclearize they should with the u.s. he said again that russia is interested in do nuclear rising 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 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 that in the u.k. issue people young is in desperate economic straits 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. russia's most 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 there longer especially since the united states estimates that about five hundred million dollars so significant about money comes into north korea from foreign workers around the world every year because of this insulin and we shall win indeed moscow bureau thank you both very much for your reporting this may now be some of the stories making news around the was after months of speculation former us vice president joe biden is announced he would run for president in two thousand and twenty it's the same to say a six year olds could bid for the white house he joins a crowded field of democrats competing with if he's nomination and he's seen as a from donna. environmental activists have located the london stock exchange and climbed onto the roof of her train as part of protest urging britain to take action on climate change the group called extinction rebellion wants the government to

gets more about why these talks collapse and what this means for deutsche and commits buying. well one group spokesman the group spokesman for the bank addressed journalists just a little bit of a while ago and he said that they had good talks and fair talks in a partnership kind of atmosphere but they both concluded that there was not enough added value considering also the risks involved risks like the capital base the deutsche bank probably would have had to raise capital in order to take over the coming out spunk or for example restructuring costs before you save costs by cutting jobs and cutting down the number of branches you need to invest in order to provide an incentive and provide compensation for the people you're letting go you did say that first quarter results also underscored the ability of the deutsche bank to stand alone what happens after this is up in the air both a lot of people would say have hurt themselves by talking merger and not going

through with it going through with it would also have been a bad idea come out spunked could be a takeover target for foreign banks that said that some foreign banks like you in a credit or or the i n g of netherlands had expressed some interest i don't know what some of the reaction you are killing about the collapse of this. well you know you mentioned the finance minister all of shoulders here germany's top finance politician i haven't seen a statement by him yet but there have been statements by for example a financial spokesman for the c.d.u. c.s.u. hans michels he said that economic sense has taken over over a pipe dreams so he thinks it's a good idea that that not happen green spokesman financial spokesman lisa post's said that this escapade has ended it never made sense to imagine that you could create a bigger bank with bigger risks and the bundesbank also weighing in saying that to

go out your bank is solid and stable and the come out spunk is also even if they don't merge and the fund company take saying that common sense had won out in the end so you see the kind of direction these comments are going. when he busts of the deadliest financial correspondent in frankfurt thank you very much. the you it. up on the you and envoy for libya says he hopes to start peace talks between the country's two warring sides in the coming days ships led by an insurgent general have made massive territorial gains and even launched an offensive on the capital tripoli this challenging the international backing libyan government the conflict has raised fears in europe of another refugee crisis. libya's strongman general khalifa haftar and his continued offensive on the capital tripoli have exposed europe saw a lack of virtue and libya policy in french newspapers on wednesday the head of the

internationally recognized libyan government prime minister fired several hours for the first time openly denounced funds for supporting general haftar and thereby fueling the current crisis a crisis many say europe chose to ignore or the europeans have become completely irrelevant in this crisis through their disunity it is also a problem of german policy because here in berlin libya has not been recognized as a priority not something that really merits. being raised with president. yet but then insists it fully recognizes the severity of the situation and start. a state on the southern border of the mediterranean right next to europe with no security and where there is an armed conflict is a problem for germany and europe. so far germany's

attempts as chair of the un security council to forge a joint u.n. position have failed while reports of money and arms pouring in from the united arab emirates egypt and saudi arabia amounting if you can we are aware of these reports but we did not have our own findings that i could share. german m.p.'s too are beginning to worry about the knock on effect of a new libya crisis it's obvious that the pressure of pressure on people to migrate and try to to escape from the situation. going to rise and it's going to be of course affective for for that what is happening in europe this is a key conflict. in which europeans have completely abandoned control too far away gulf states if this continues libya will become a proxy war between regional and international players germany has less than a week to go as chair of the u.n. security council of course. germany's u.n.

legacy is already being overshadowed by its apparent failure to live up to its role as leading power over this new libya crisis. today is malaria day and it's a disease that was once on the decline but now efforts to contain it have stalled the lot as the when i was asian estimates malaria killed four hundred thirty five thousand people in two thousand and seventeen alone this at a time when international research funding is declining our correspondent sent us this report from mozambique. here in the village of. the waiting room at the medical center is overcrowded fourteen year old moose armando and his mother are among those who have been waiting here for hours. my head always feels so hard 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 cyclonic died 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 reconstructionist 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. we didn't have any mosquito nets i was swept away in the floods along with our whole house no one has given us new nets. finally turned to see the doctor the only one at this clinic and fears are

confirmed he has malaria like so many others of the patients seen here by dr candy to add to it in recent weeks. was following the cycle of the number of malaria and diarrhea cases has increased compared to previous months in. some areas 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 which. 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 hope that the drugs work and that she and move 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 a game as a surprise because there were really massive efforts to contain the deceased's for use tribulation all of insecticide treated mats and treatments and they believe it reflects one of the usual cycles of wide area distribution and 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 it would have also been out in the field in africa now a new. malaria vaccination campaign is being launched in some african countries it's been described as a breakthrough tell us about this funded project and this is really an exciting time and really is

a historic quick because that for the first time ever we have launched my area what summation campaign and pre-conscious and offered come and it is a national wide complained so all kids will be vaccinated with this vaccine now this vaccine is not yet of the dream product it does not prevent infection but it didn't bounce there death of the kids and if we can buy one heart for the number of kids who are dying from malaria i think it's really we're back and forth and now other than the downsides of this vaccination how affordable is it for people because as we saw and i report many of the people who are affected by this disease in fairly kind of weak financial situations i think this first campaigns are wholly supported by the governments of the countries for and gaged into this process and also by numerous foundations from give money to pay for this license this campaign is also will help us to. and bad time to 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. 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 true also now which are being developed to stop malaria speaking about mosquito control for gene drives up locations which are not yet ready for application but will give 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. to sri lankan and a country on high alert after a series of suicide bombings and easter sunday officials have now banned drones and unmanned aircraft and have kind of more controlled detonations on suspicious

vehicles and items more than three hundred and fifty people died in the attacks which targeted churches and hotez children because president has vowed to take action after intelligence units failed to pass on information about a possible terrorist attack. you know muslim leaders in sri lanka say they feared a backlash after the easter sunday attacks the suicide bombings have been condemned by muslim groups but many in the community say they feel the. scent assist reports from colombo. she could not get back home after today it's thought he's too scared to spend the night in his house for lunch or another church sunday easter sunday a few hundred metres from where he lives a massive blast hit the church. that the next day with his three young children and wife. not one not with my feel or feel more threats that

we had received so since we had being in the in the. main draw so we thought off. and also being with that with the children we secured and that is the reason what we what made us to be site believed houses here. she has restricted about the attacks and feels guilty that the perpetrators of the seemed religion of him. he's coaching local christians not to think of him and his family as stated. earlier. with. all along his street the homes and shops office a muslim neighborhood. several muslim one businesses were attacked after the bombings. there's a tense atmosphere in the city. both christian and muslim communities in sri lanka have been targeted by booklist extremists in the past muslims and christians in the country have co-existed peacefully so far the easter sunday

bombing set off tensions between the two minority communities for the first time. local muslims have tried to show their support holding prayers sending condolences and of practically condemning the terror attacks. but with the traditional friday prayers just around the corner muslims body it may not be safe to congregate. a small but vocal group a few duncans 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 the solidarity movement 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 civil liberties worker till after the nine eleven incident in the us are 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 support terrorism so there is a worry that the similar situation may arise probably against muslims this time. muslims and christians have always kept a respectful distance. now there is hope that the easter sunday bombings could serve as a reason to build stronger bridges between the two communities. not a job one for one buy and dashed bradman's dreams and the second semifinal of the german thanks in posture of a controversial late penalty by n one three two in a foster and furious match which also saw some frayed tempers the win means buy in is in the final on may twenty fifth where they will need rb leipzig now bind up all set for an easy victory following goes from a robot eleven dots and thomas miller the burst of energy from foes braman sword in scored two goals in two minutes to level things that was until

a suspect penalty call involving the video assistant met to nevin dusty's eightieth minute. a bit when coach florian called fred was extremely angry at the penalty decision but he was magnanimous in defeat. of course it's really brutal it's that i think that at least nine times out of ten a referee wouldn't give that penalty no way if i had to make that call i wouldn't have blown the whistle i would but i want to be clear by an equal coach and his team deserve to win. if you don't know what to do with the only denim jeans you could get them to. you just have to give them to british artist barry who makes. this gigantic pile of jeans is artist. barry has at least two thousand pairs of jeans here in his london studio and he needs he's constantly searching for just the right
