the u.s. says it could be iran targeting shipping in the region to the filipino voters head to the polls crucial senate seats are up for grabs in the country's midterms a strong result for president or go to church it could boost his war on drugs. and swedish prosecutors say they'll reopen a rape investigation against wiki leaks founder julian assange they will also seek his extradition from britain that could delay efforts by the u.s. to bring a songs to america to face trial of the wiki leaks huge release of secret documents . i'm sumi so with god it is good to have you with us u.s. secretary of state mike pompei a was arrived in brussels where he's expected to discuss iran with european partners the top u.s. diplom. scrapped plans for a trip to moscow and made

a surprise visit to the belgian capital as e.u. foreign ministers gathered for a meeting there today the e.u. is determined to keep the iran nuclear deal alive after washington withdrew from the pact and reimposed sanctions on tehran the u.s. is urging the e.u. to walk away from the deal iran meanwhile is urging the e.u. to keep its promises and to protect its oil and banking sectors from sanctions or our correspondent teri schultz has been following the story for us in brussels hi terry so my compare has been holding meetings there in brussels what has come out of this so far. i'm not sure that secretary pump aoe will be completely satisfied with how his meetings have gone here he was not able to convince. foreign policy chief federica mobile really were the foreign ministers of britain france and germany to change their schedule of their heavy schedule meetings today and meet with him all together so he held meetings with with each of them separately there's

been some sense that he wanted to make iran feel that the u.s. and the e.u. were together standing against iran especially with tensions rising in the persian gulf on the ground but that he was not able to do that and so it remains to be seen because we have not heard from the u.s. secretary of state what he feels he accomplished here today german foreign minister did say that such a delicate diplomatic situation requires a lot of communication so he at least was was pleased to see secretary pump come here and try to talk to the european the european partners about u.s. plans in iran terry you mentioned tensions in the persian gulf soaring let's take a look at saudi arabia has condemned an alleged sabotage attack against tankers there is a dangerous threat to international security now the united arab emirates says that for commercial vessels were hit by unspecified sabotage attacks near the port city of gyre off its eastern coast the saudi energy minister says 2 of the kingdom's oil tankers were among the targets the alleged incidents come as the u.s.

has warned that iran or its proxies could be targeting maritime traffic in the region. is calling for a probe into who is responsible so terry looking at that you know how worried are the europeans about this incident. they're very worried the u.s. has been warning that it has intelligence that iran is planning to attack u.s. interests perhaps its allies in the persian gulf and so this has been one of this has been the pretext for the u.s. to send military reinforcements to the area quite a few and in fact and today we heard u.k. secretary foreign secretary jeremy hunt say that he's very worried that there could be an accidental escalation that one side or the other could you know make a mistake and then you would really have a full blown military conflict here in an area of the world that is already so so dangerous and already on you know on and on and i said there. we've heard

representatives time and again say that the nuclear deal is important to keep the region stable so what is that european union strategy to really save this agreement . the e.u. is definitely still determined to save the deal along with russia and china it should be pointed out it's not just the e.u. 3 who are still in the deal and this is something that they maintained today even with secretary pompei you hear they have so far not been convinced by the u.s. argument that throwing out the nuclear agreement would make the region safer in any way the u.s. would like to pull iran in to a wider agreement on some of these other behaviors development of ballistic missile support for proxy militias but the e.u. has has stayed firm that keeping the nuclear program under control is at least one stable facet of the relationship at the same time with iran's threats last week to

go back to nuclear enrichment the e.u. is in a very very difficult place in the middle threats from the one from the washington threats from tehran there's going to be some very difficult negotiations ahead it's a different difficult position indeed terry looking down the road with iran facing u.s. sanctions the european union can't alone prop up iran's economy so what are the u.s. hopes long term that the this agreement can be effective. yes that's the problem the u.s. is not only sanctioning iran it threatens to sanction e.u. companies who do business with iran and that's why the e.u. has been working now for a year to set up what it calls a special purpose vehicle which would allow cash transfers which would allow financial transactions with iran in a way that could avoid u.s. sanctions they're hoping to get that set up i mean it's already behind schedule and that's something that iran is pointing out it's getting a bit impatient in hopes for that it also hopes that russia and china will step up and increase their trade with iran to boost the iranian economy to the point where

the regime says ok we are getting enough benefit out of the nuclear deal to stay and it to keep our enrichment well curbed our correspondents here are saying all right our correspondent breaking down this story for us or brussels thank you terry now to some other stories making headlines around the world china has announced it will raise tariffs on $60000000000.00 worth of u.s. goods that decision comes in retaliation to washington hiking tariffs on 200000000000 worth of chinese imports on friday u.s. president trump accuses the beijing of the negative on commitments in trade talks. in syria thousands of families are fleeing after airstrikes hit across rebel enclaves in it live and hama province as syrian government forces started advancing on the region late last month human rights observers say more than $300.00 people have been killed in the offensive. lithuania's presidential election is headed for

to teche a now expects to seal his own domestic political power through these elections for a new senate isn't local officials whatever the opposition most believe it's already a done deal. you're watching news still to come on the show the families paying the price for sudan's political transformation we need $1.00 family who lost a son the uprising against obama all bashir. but 1st swedish prosecutors say they will reopen a rape case against wiki leaks founder julian assange and they will seek his extradition from the u.k. the office says there is still probable cause to pursue a preliminary investigation assad's took refuge at the ecuadorian embassy in london 7 years ago to avoid extradition the probe was dropped in 2017 after the statute of

limitations expired a request to renew the case was filed last month after a silence was arrested for jumping bail he has denied the allegations. let's get more on the story with james savage journalist and founder of the news site the local james thank you for joining us this rape case has now been reopened what happens next. well what happens next is that the prosecutors in sweden will decide whether. they want to press charges of rape against you know now what they've said up to now is that they would reopen then again but they said they they haven't yet decided whether that means that they can i'm thinking formally of press charges and seek extradition under european arrest warrant to sweden so looking at the case again they'll be seeking to interview julian assange if they can get his consent to do so and then they will take the case of james give us more background on what

this rape case these allegations are about. so judy massage was on a visit to sweden in 2010 in connection with the wiki leaks e-mails and during that visit he. met 2 women one of whom accused him of raping her another one who accused him of sexually assaulting. now at the time the prosecutors in sweden sorted interview julian assange but by that time he had gone to london and eventually you're going to him to meet anybody since the ecuadorian embassy and in trying to silence that to escape these charges saying that they were a means of getting him to the united. states to face prosecution also on spying charges will. be spying charges. since then the whole everything has been on hold the. the accusation of the charges of what the you know the

the accusations are of sexual assault exploited under a statute of limitations in 2015 it's too late now under swedish law for the prosecution is to pursue that charge but the accusation of rape and most of the most serious offense is still alive and prosecutions that i'm seeking to. james will touch on this the u.s. as we know also wants to extradite julian assange from the u.k. over a his alleged role in the release of secret documents in 2010 so which of these requests will take precedence well that's the big question now so the various. there's an expert legal experts in the u.k. have different views about this. and it will be up to the courts in the united kingdom to decide which which of these requests they consider to be the most serious the fact that sweden and britain are still both countries and there isn't

a u.s. arrest warrant out for julian assange might count in sweden's favor also the fact that it's a crime against individuals it's a violent crime a counts and it's based on the other hand the the charges of spying in the united states the espionage charges are serious charges as well so that we can. this is their last family photo together abacha was sheriff is only son his sister is a still in shock as well as his father who works as a legal advisor in saudi arabia every day sheriff a spends hours gazing at the photograph. stated no work for them but i miss him so much his jokes the way he looked after his sisters my whole life revolved around him and from one moment to the next everything changed he's gone i never got the good the bad i got the what i deserve. this video shows how doctors

forgotten. but 77 mariota solti is one of the oldest bar owners and some to poly notorious red light district. few customers realize that her hong kong bar is a piece of german chinese history in the $1920.00 s. hundreds of chinese sailors employed in the german merchant navy settled in hamburg they opened up shops and restaurants establishing germany's 1st and only chinatown in the city's lively entertainment district the bar opened by marriott his father was also a restaurant if i leave him i naturally had a zest for life i found home here he had german friends and if he knew someone was down and out he'd let them die and free of charge as is niki of course news that the chinese communities peaceful coexistence ended with the rise of the nazis who branded unions between chinese men and german women as race defilement the persecution intensified in may 944 with the gestapo raid known as the chinese

action historian lars amanda has documented the brutality used by the police and the gestapo during the operation. because i'm getting the total $129.00 men were arrested and beaten as they were taken to this police station from here they were transferred to the gestapo prison that foods booth where they were held for months. and 17 chinese prisoners died his father survived but he never received compensation after the war the german restitution office classified the chinese action as a routine police operation lars amanda calls that a mistake. by being documentation shows very clearly that gestapo offices saw themselves as some kind of racial warriors who were eager to extend the nazi's policies of racial purity to hamburg's resident chinese population.

maria has come to terms with germany's refusal to compensate her father. today it's the resurgence of the far right that she's worried about the fact it's not just being that makes me furious that people have learned nothing from history on the contrary history is repeating itself a completely generation should be making sure that the younger generation knows what really happened so it never happens again. mario to speak openly about her family's past so that the story of her father and how lost chinatown conserve is a cautionary tale for future generations. it was a dramatic weekend in european football and alina her talking from d.w. sports is here to tell us all about haile well let's start in england with the premier league manchester city clinching the premier league tell us about their stated i mean look at those face look at all those happy faces you know they retain the title and therefore they are the 1st team to do so since 2009 and the last side who did that also came from the same city and that was manchester united in 2009

and this has been one of the tightest premier league priestess in ages and you know france of course in manchester completely ecstatic completely over the moon after manchester city a new back home after beating brighton 41 and of course they also at the privilege of celebrating with their hometown band always said you know what also big supporters of manchester city but you know what a shout out to liverpool pool despite winning to know against forbes it just wasn't enough i mean city end up with 98 points just one more then and then live a poor of course liverpool in the past still have the champions sneak to play for but if it went for city this title would have belonged to liverpool and cup of course is still really really proud of his boys let's take a listen $97.00 points is incredible and only because city is that it's not enough each other country it would have been easy. so it is no problem

with that that's the competition we are in so the competition with good music go to india. 10 years ago that's completely different. it's definitely something to be proud of is thing we're what about the bundesliga that's the last major european competition to still be decided but yeah surprisingly it is i mean all other top european leagues have been decided except for the bundesliga that doesn't happen very often so we have by in munich on 75 points dots just 2 more than bought mind neither side will have it easy at all because there's so much to play for just look how tight and how close all those european spots are by an unique crease frank for it by an unique need to win in order to secure the title frankford of course are in place number 6 and they want a european spot so they also need to win that there's so much to play for and it's a very similar scenario when you look at dortmund against black dortmund of course have to win hopefully by in munich to lose in order to win the title but they're up

against black who want to solidify that champions league spot who don't want to budge from 4th place so this weekend it's going to be a blockbuster it is must see t.v. a lot of moving. what about frankfurt you mentioned that they are desperate to win against byron and the loss of the weekend to nil against mines what's going on there it is it's almost like a fairy tale season might really end up in a nightmare and you know if you're frankfurt of course you don't want to look back you don't want to regret what you could have had and that is either chad can sleep or you've opened the court bar obviously you can tell just by the footage that they were very exhausted especially after that pain for a penalty shoot out loss to chelsea in the europa league and the european dream you know took a blow on sunday when made last against minds to never so for frankfurt they need to dig deep on the final day but like you said it's not going to be easy and i am going to make. a limit of talking from 4 thanks for bringing us up to date.
