this is news live from berlin international tensions searchers are of iran that nuclear deal just reject tektronix ultimatum saying that rightly concerned about the deals future amusement republican contemplates cost new sanctions against the united states increases the pressure also on the program to pope francis' moves against sex abuse in the catholic church and future priests and nuns around the

world will be obliged to inform church if they suspect a fuse is taking place. in football the second victory snatched from the jaws of defeat in the champions league with talk with london team top them scoring in the last gasp of injury time good luck into a win i accept i'm still soft in liverpool for the simple stuff but. i'm still going to welcome to the program e.u. leaders have been holding an informal summit and the romanian city of seaview to that new strategic a debt agenda for the bloc they agreed to hold another summit at the end of may after a european parliamentary elections i want the leaders that will begin the process to pick the new head of the e.u. commission as well as other top posts. but iran has overshadowed the discussions.

of the country to stick by its commitments under the nuclear deal agreed with world powers and twenty fifteen united states has withdrawn from the deal and iran is trying to abandon it unless it gets quick sanctions relief short while ago german chancellor angela merkel gave a press conference where she addressed the issue. it's not even more important that europe shows a united front here we do not want an escalation but we want to keep using diplomatic to. we know our limitations but we all agree that the more united europe is the better chance we have of using dialogue to find possible solutions like the song straight to sydney that i would join because upon the go matters welcome again so we had the chance of saying the e.u. is aware of its limitations but if you spell them out for us well one of the

biggest limitations clearly is that germany hopes to encourage business continuing with iran so that the iranians in turn can fulfill their part of the declared declaration of this. atomic. deal that the nonproliferation will take place in the problem they have is that a business is obvious courage to trade with iran because they fear u.s. sanctions and that is the problem for the u. there's little they can do they have sort of a scheme to set that up which allows a suit to be traded but not much more oil and of course big businesses is much more crucial so enron was discussed at the summit but the real reason for the meeting was the future of being a new. exactly and one really has to say it was a heartening welcome here for the leaders of the youth a planned oppressive free summit and one diplomats told me that is exactly what

they achieved it took them a mere minutes to agree on the so-called c.p.u. declaration a mix of good intentions and aspirations of what the you can achieve in the years to come having said that they been planning to show more solidarity to stick together to be strong to be innovative that is what the german chancellor also told us up on the rifle on the summit however the reality check of course is that on a number of issues when it comes to the mike ration crisis on the relocation of the few refugees that are now making it's to europe all when it comes to monetary union and reform of the so-called euro zone all these things are a lot more difficult than it appears now on paper and there were some harsh words for the hosts rumania there were some harsh words but then again jungle juncker that of the european commission criticized the rule of law and its

implementation in romania however having said that he also said he doesn't want to get involved into internal affairs and clearly it's an open secret that there is other member states which are a lot more problematic if you look towards poland but also hungary there are more violations in that respect this summit really. the leaders to talk about a number of critical subjects but the intention was also to show unity to show there is a way forward once the u.k. leaves there's twenty seven member states left and they are quite determined to work closer together that's for instance why the german chancellor also said maybe meeting every two months among the leaders would be a way forward for closer cooperation. masses in symbian thank you. now there are big variations in prosperity across that the european union one of the key objectives of the blocks the strategy of the next few years is to put poor

regions on the road to greater prosperity one of those deprived areas is not far from the romanian city of c.p.u. where the e.u. summit is taking place cosman wants to get in here into this new house which looks so nice and clean because till now here it is five siblings have been living here in an old hard made from wooden sticks and clay this is one of the many roma settlements in romania always on the outside of the villages it's a small miracle that houses are being built here at all i'm going to look at they want i tried with the bank but they didn't give me a loan. my salary is too small. it's a lot of money i had no chance to do anything to that have any possibility that there. instead the money for the building materials comes from jenny akasha the founder of a german aid project out how. she has been

helping these roma communities around c.p.u. for more than ten years about one in three rumanians lives in poverty and the robot are the poorest of all. almost almost it you have to be able to dream of it but leave room for small miracles because that's how it all happened i didn't want to accept things as they were here. every time in the shop for. all the men have to help with the building work because jenny believes in learning to help yourself. understand i don't like to look at. the money comes from private donors in germany the european union also spends a lot of money in romania ten billion euros every year jenny had spectra seaview she's not too keen on the e.u. funds the battle with local authorities spending them their corruption and lack of cooperation is too difficult. letterman have

a billing office nation maybe they should think about sending people from brussels to those countries to see who's responsible for inspecting projects and finding out where all the money goes. out god's will is that overall jenny things romania has profited immensely from being a member of the e.u. the infrastructure in the cities is much improved europe has also helped building schools and paying teachers but in roma settlements only one child in five is actually going to school for the precut and the neighbors this has changed also the result of jenny's project. my daughter loves school i kept her at home for a while but she really wants to be in school. more than anything else education is the key to a better future for the roma communities in romania. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world philip korea

has fired two suspected short range missiles into the sea a second weapons launch in a week north korean leader kim jong defended the actions which happened earlier this week as this as a regular military exercise this comes after a failed summit this year between him and u.s. president donald trump. but israeli security forces have arrested the vice president of the country's opposition controlled national assembly a dozen bronner seen him on the left is deputy to one who declared himself the country's president in january some bronner is the first opposition figure to be arrested since the attempt to spark a military uprising last week. in turkey baster matter of istanbul says he will lead a revolution for democracy had of next month's rerun of the city's battle election . and march but was removed from an election. the result after a ruling after the ruling a cake party which lost alleged voting from. i was just over half the

votes counted in south africa's presidential and parliamentary elections the ruling african national congress. is the first barometer of public sentiment since president replaced scandal hit jacob zuma last year correspondent christine reports from johannesburg it's a day off to south africans voted in the sixty election. and as you can imagine the results of that election is on everybody's lips it is a big talking point we're outside the african national congress his headquarters and while the results of find out it's pretty clear that the a.n.c. will retain its majority by what margin will only be known on saturday would be expects the final result but that might not happen because there is a video that has gone viral in south africa and that is off a vote a gentleman who voted in the day wiping off the ink that voters will mocked with.

the implication of that is if he was able to do that potentially others did too and were able to votes twice now it's a big talking point the electoral commission has held several briefings addressing questions on the matter from journalists we are down to. who to talk to some voters who took part in yesterday's election who some of them believe that it's not true here is. scuse me ladies. do you vote it india's today's election do you still have your income your thumb can you show it to us some people say that people were able to avoid twice because the in came off no no one to avoid. the. joke is just one of many people who say they voted you say and. ink is still on their finger and they don't think there's much to these allegations up in coming off bats some people think that this is a serious issue that needs to be investigated because it could potentially mob the final results of the election has to be revisited now before we finalize the counting of defaulting because of it's affecting the results of the voting procedures to be investigated so that we get the. results because no if people who

have voted we're going to give the. results you took the engulfed that wasn't easy. do you think that this needs to be investigated i think it must be investigated because of people voted twice yes the biggest opposition party the democratic alliance has called for a full audit off the election results and we don't know that the independent electoral commission has confirmed that about nineteen people were arrested for voting twice. christine before pope francis has issued a groundbreaking new law requiring all catholic priests and nuns to report clerical sexual abuse and cover ups the paper to create covers abuse of children and adults and requires every catholic diocese in the world to set up simple under excessive all systems for reporting abuse and protecting whistleblowers it also allows for

suspected abuse to be reported directly to the vatican if necessary. religious affairs correspondent demotic jack can tell us more welcome. what does this mean. mostly this is imposition of a top down of a top down policy for reporting this type of policy it's already in place in europe and it's already in place in north america but most areas around the world do not have such thing and in this sense is a very strong message mainly because it comes directly from the very top of the church so this no longer left to party or charges particular archbishops etc but it's really sort of you know joined by the sea for the entire institution and will this strong message have teeth will there be penalties for failing to report abuse you know the penalties have not been made clear as to what the penalties would beat but i think that the bigger issue concerning the t.

thirty like they're off in terms of the policy is how much we'll and how much efficiency there is at the church at the level of national churches to implement it that goes to say that any of these things because we're talking about systems of government essentially that are confabulation that have a lot to you with informal relations it means that for this policy to have any force there would have to be things in place that actually can overcome them that goes to say that you know friendships and sort of political play and to leave some of the things of the kind would have to be combated by church officials that are actually very much willing and not the forefront of the fight for its reports so your implication seems to be that this this was a decision that was not wholeheartedly welcomed by the church i think that by and large the church is in the middle of a civil war concerning how we said you know any of the sea shoes or its issues in general are handled in the public light there is clearly enormous opposition to

this i mean it's quite heavy then both at the level of the korea at the level of the church in rome but also sort. across the world because it is the church ultimately that has also been the vehicle or has also been the home to many of these abuses and discover up so those people many of them are still there and many of those people obviously continue to hold power so i think that in a sense what we are seeing if not a divided church we're certainly seeing a church which is a global institution grappling with itself and trying to figure out ways to get its house in or other so the pope says you have to turn over people who are suspected of abusing the people who are coming up abused does this mean the church will then turn those people over to the police we do not know it is not the case right now i mean so so clearly said no it is not the case that the church is intending at this point to turn reports of abuse to national authorities he's however noticeable that we have had two major waves of reform perhaps not very useful to the general public

but we have to remember that earlier this year during the summit the pope turned to his church and said i could use directly the church the people in front of him you know participating covering but very often a bad thing you know child pornography and sexual abuse and so on the second step game with this kind of reform which is the ball is a reform for the church and in a way i mean the russian next step would actually be to force these kind of reports that now will go officially through the system of the church to go to national authorities if that were to happen and you know there are reasons to think that that could happen because there is also a lot of pressure the news that we hear today will completely change its form must in fact thank you so much for a very welcome. now to a series of reports looking at what germans say as the big issues affecting them today kate brady travels into the countryside where a major concern especially amongst young people is climate change germany would

seem to be leading the way in the fight against global warming but it's now fallen back on its commitments people have been telling the government now faces a stark choice. to end my journey across germany i'm travelling back to the capital. where the german government is feeling the heat of climate change. between its love of cars a nuclear power phase out and the country's long goodbye to cofield energy gemini's struggling to meet climate goals. in recent weeks that very issue has been quite literally knocking on the government's front door. inspired by the swedish climate activists back for the past four months hundreds and thousands of german school kids have been skipping school every friday demanding action against climate change university student louise annoyed power has become the face of the fridays the future movement in germany which is now backed by more than twenty six thousand scientists. we need our government to act now and i don't see that right now we

keep burning fossil fuels knowing that they are destroying. and. disturbing our climate to an extent that. we are struggling we will be struggling to stay alive in the long term and. once deemed a world champion in environmental protection it seems germany is at least now realizing that there's more to the fight against climate change the meticulously separating rubbish lushes heat wave alone brought home the harsh realities of climate change cargo ships brought to a standstill drive crops forest fires and damage to infrastructure. having missed his twenty twenty climate goals the german government is now looking ahead to twenty fifty with the aim of phasing out coal powered energy by twenty thirty eight but students like louisa want to see the end of that by twenty thirty at the latest

. demonstrators have found to continue striking until they see more action from the government. if in twenty years' time your children or your grandchildren or the children of the neighbors will ask you what did you do back then when will you know what was so could change things where you could make a difference what you do and i'm telling this the government here we would judge this government. harshly. because we will look back on them and see that there were amongst the last ones who could actually change something and changed the path we are on. knowing the consequences of what's happening if the danger that . joins me now then i go back to quickly what were the other concerns that people told you about where we could hit for big issues with the climate change their digitalisation germany's housing crisis the shortage of

housing that's a nationwide problem as well at the moment demographic change in the sense of germany's aging population. and also. the digitalisation as well one of those issues important for the country's future but these are all issues that we're already started to see the effects of right now which you've been able to see in the in the series of reports of done over the last few days but they're certainly going to shape how germany grows by as a country on its own capacity but also as part of the european union and as a world leader and these are role topics which are holding germany back at the moment from rating you could say failing its real potential it specially when it comes to digitalisation for example is having a huge effect on businesses so you've been there you've been out of the city a bit out of some valley not in the countryside east and west so what surprised you

most in your travels i don't know whether it was so much a surprise as a confirmation that all four of these topics which i mentioned they're very closely intertwined which is why we really focused on the in on these issues when it comes to what is going to shape germany's future of course when you talk about for example the. aging population here in germany people especially over in full in parts of former east germany there's not many young people but it's if particularly in these places and in rural area. is whether and you really feel the effects of germany's digitalisation shortcomings as you know next to no internet connection or at least next to no high speed internet connection so then you know it's easy to understand why younger people don't want to move away from the cities into the countryside where that's so in desperate need of a younger generation of people to fill this skilled worker shortage at my house right now in germany your day job you're

a political correspondent don't you value these are all long standing problems what do the politicians say about the failure to actually address them i mean they are sticking to the. two basically the coalition agreement right now i mean we're already this week if you take for example this issue of climate change again that's it being in the news here again this week in germany when it comes to proposals of introducing a carbon tax us of massive debate right now when it comes to tackling climate change so they are all trying to address these issues we had a digitalisation pact agreed on earlier this year as well and at the end of last year some measures implemented to make sure that those high speed internet in the next five years in germany but this really is the right exactly this is the point it's all seems a little you know is it too little too late right now because it isn't really a case of germany trying to keep up with everyone else it's trying to catch up now

ok brady thank you so much. now russia has been marking the seventy fourth anniversary of the soviet victory over nazi germany in world war two the main victory day celebration took place in moscow's red square president vladimir putin joined an estimated half a million people many of whom displayed photos of loved ones who died or suffered during the war victory day is celebrated a day later than elsewhere because the surrender documents were signed after midnight moscow time back in one nine hundred forty five. this is day eight of news life from ballot coming up next in d.w.m. news asia. is the most days on its way back to democracy after its slide into all thought area and the room will have an exclusive interview with the foreign secretary. and pakistan's a program to eradicate the probably has been caught up in a campaign of misinformation and violence our correspondent reports but then the attacks on vaccination teams. other stores are more with russia managing.
