of 2019 telkom waltz of. their old choir just. has to stay as it is so. church is graduating students to embrace optimism as she makes the case for multilateralism operations also coming up police in hungary arrest the captain of crew ship that the 2 approaches on the danny said the phone dead and 21 missing and cruised on to the boat from the bottom of the river going to the hot off without fish. loss is being hailed as the safest substitute for cigarettes with water all the real risks off.

that shima u.s. secretary of state mike is in berlin to me german chancellor angela merkel and foreign minister. america's top diplomat in the german capital this morning 3 weeks after he suddenly postponed his visit to germany at the bailiff minute instead he flew off to iraq to win support for washington's position in growing tensions with iran and the differences in the u.s. and european iran policies are also expected to be high on the agenda. now for more. political correspondents welcome simon secretary of state and i phone pale is visiting button for the 1st time and we know after he abruptly canceled his previous trip what is on the agenda and he still you have a secretary of state finally got got to germany a year after he took office as you mentioned he's here to have meetings with

foreign minister master also with chancellor americal and there's quite a few there's a list you could say of complaints that the trumpet ministration have about german policy and pompei are mentioned some of them as he set off in particular that battle over germany's military spending the u.s. doesn't think germany spending enough but also the question of a hallway the chinese telecoms company u.s. is very worried about the idea that that company be involved in telecoms or internet provision in europe including in germany. i think they're probably also going to talk about the nord stream to gas pipeline project between russia and germany because the u.s. had been threatening sanctions against germany and other countries over that so that's that's that's a key source of their conflict point and i think they'll also be talking about iran of course. whether this is

a huge difference over what's the best way to pressure the iranian regime to steer away from nuclear weapons that of course is the issue. in part the issue that caused pompei or to cancel his is planned visit 3 weeks ago he said in a rush off and deal with issues in iraq and iran in the region. you know he's finally got here but there's a lot for them to talk about exactly we'll continue our conversation in just a bit simon but 1st we meet chancellor merkel in just a few last time and she has just returned from the united states where she delivered the commencement address at harvard university bias to the drug just with spiked with indirect criticism of donald trump's policies don't waltz of ignorance in their own mind that this thing has to stay as it is. it was one of several standing ovations for the german chancellor during hurricane speech she ended and

began in english highly unusual for under the merkel at such a major event. then gets awfully if we step out and embrace new beginnings everything is possible. for the normally cautious pragmatic politician this was a far reaching to do list she spoke of halting global warming eradicating starvation eliminating diseases giving people especially girls access to education and fighting the causes of displacement and forced migration forced migration that's we can do all of that at. the harvard commencement speech is by tradition inspirational setting the bar high for graduating students. the not to act impulsively but to take a moment to stop and think during laughter as well as applause. more than once michael seemed to conjure up donald trump without mention of his name. that's

that means not calling a lie is truth or truth lies. the chancellor's mixture of the political and the inspirational seemed to resonate with the graduating students. before me the main message is about believing that's wallace can be broken and for me i think wallace is sort of a metaphor for anything it could be sort of your own close minded dress or your own servant violence to how you see the issues of the world whether you know whether or not you think they could be solved i think the speech was very well done and well received and i think that she's struck a balance between inspiring the graduates to make change in the world and also sending a political message. america has made it clear this is her last time as chancellor and her speech was a nod to the legacy she hopes to leave behind especially a firm commitment to strong transatlantic times. not turning return dishonesty of

a political correspondent silent and love making it's a very pointed remarks during her commencement address there warning against snap decisions and impulsive action how do you think that's going to play. into talks with talks with mike the secretary of state of the united states who is here for the 1st time i have pushed a visit yeah i mean those were very pointed remarks she didn't actually mention president trump but i think everyone in the audience understood that that was what she was talking about with those talking about snap decision making and also really criticizing broadly american foreign policy talking about isolationism and you know setting up boundaries what you need to do is find common solutions multilateralism was it was a plea for that really a speech we've heard from anglo-american many times before i don't think it changes exactly the dynamic of course as i say pump air is the one who's chosen the timing

of their meeting today so it's just unfortunate for him baths that you know it's come after this rather pointed speak from the chancellor in america and obviously it will add a little extra spice to those conversations absolutely and as we saw it at the speech was really well received by the students at harvard now it also gave her a big platform to address certain issues which are very close to her hot yeah i mean she receiving the honorary degree from harvard for her. via chef and so sort of can do attitude on migration and openness to welcome refugees into germany of course highly controversial policy so i'm not sure of the university is aware of all the nuances around that policy that still plague angle medical here but there is a sense in which angela merkel is on the sort of home straight of chancellorship she won't be standing again of course as we know she's got a couple of years at most to run and i think she's sort of drawing together these

strands of her worldview multilateralism the battle against climate change but also a sort of respectful approach in dealing with the world vs that's what she was playing for right handed obvious political correspondent thank you very much for the analysis. in u.s. politics president trump is announced that the country will add a 5 percent tariff to all goods coming into mexico as a way to curb illegal immigration and american southern border says the terrorists an increase and it is clear the mexico is doing more to prevent immigrants crossing the u.s. border illegally. 2 years after negotiations for a new nafta began everything seem to be working just fine. today we will send the relevant information so that the senate of the republic can ratify the free trade agreement with the united states and canada canada. then an unexpected shot fired from washington u.s.

president trump tweeting about a 5 percent tariff on all goods coming into our country from mexico trump threatens to gradually increase tariffs until the illegal immigration problem is remedied their reaction in mexico shock it's. exactly and i just read that right out there i just read it as something to sastre us because that threat taken into action would be very grave very serious extremely serious. at the same time it's no secret to anyone that president trump is very active in his use of tweets. but mexico can hardly afford to ignore the threat the u.s. as its most important trading partner trade between the neighbors was worth 670000000000 dollars last year. also crossing the border so-called illegal immigrants as seen in

this video from u.s. customs and border patrol recorded in el paso the migrants most of whom are from honduras guatemala and el salvador crossing through mexico trump says the government there is not doing enough to stop the flow of people and to be instead passively cooperating. now let's take a look at some of the stories making news around the hundreds of cities protest has marched on saddam's military headquarters in khartoum after protest leaders issued a late night call to action to dance transitional military said the protests encampment and some the defense ministry has become a threat to stability and he also ordered the closure of the offices of television . heads of government from the arab league have gathered in mecca of what they're calling an emergency summit on iran saudi arabia's king philmont open the meeting

accident. the government has called for a thorough and in-depth investigation it's a criminal investigation has been launched. taking up 13 tickets. c.c.t.v. footage captured the moments that the mermaid the small boat seen on the left was struck by the viking sit in a river cruise ship 5 times its length it took just a few seconds for the mermaid to capsize and sink. in the search for answers the captain of the largest ship has been detained he is being questioned on suspicion of endangering waterborne traffic resulting in multiple deaths. joining me now is stefan both from the banks of the danube river. is different to us more about the rescue operation then he hopes of finding any survivors alive and well at this point i can tell you.

the very concerned that i may not find any survivors they are desperate really to find more people and you may hear also have a cultural background and also there are all the efforts going on to really search this area for it for any remains but because that is all day appear to see it right now they have given to basically hope to find any survivors more than 20 people are still missing and it is expected that the death toll will rise to at least $28.00. now the captain off a cruise ship involved in the collision is in custody and the honduran prime minister has asked for how investigation into the accident what other information do we have so far. well what we do know is steps he has been detained on suspicion old or reckless behavior sorties are saying that captain

300 people a day take this experience wisdom to help the ongoing authorities in this investigation of course this has a tremendous impact really on the south korean community also but of course also the people living here nearby are a little sick and tell you that i've been bringing flowers and candles to remember to victims there it's here but nice me in the danube river and it must be a great shock to end with uppish stefan both thank you very much for this update. you're watching the news coming up ahead thailand's trained elephant activists say the animals speak a heavy price for their performances correspondent explicit different aspects of the controversy. but for us today may 31st is

no tobacco day when the wanted organization what's the spotlight on the parents of smoking more than a 1000000000 people still regularly smoke tobacco and that's about one in every 7. tobacco consumption has been declining in many parts of the one they. have exceptions some regions in africa and some countries in the middle east the w. h. o. ses tobacco kids more than 7000000 people. graphic warnings on cigarette packs of greatly increased awareness about the dangers of smoking so have advertising bans and tobacco taxes some though have now to ease cigarettes but as we hit our next report is cigarettes can also cause health problems. it's proven that isa carets contain far fewer talk sense than conventional tobacco cigarettes but as they're relatively recent products their long term effects are

unknown. you could call it the biggest field study that's taking place in the whole circular world wide. up. vapors can choose from hundreds of refills solutions called liquids the additives that give them their flavor however contain less than appetising substances diasur tile for example has a battery taste that can cause a severe respiratory disorder commonly known as popcorn lung. the vapor produced by the heating divisive and a cigarette is laced with tiny particles which settle in the lungs they can cause coughing compromised lung function and inflammation. we know from animal and soul experiments that the vapor causes inflammation in cells that just suggests that in addition to inflammation it could result in long

a traditional elephant carrier chung my in northern thailand and discovered there are no easy answers in this controversy warning you might find some of the images in this report distressing. show time at mesa elephant camp twice a day the elephants entertain visitors with their skills everything looks playful but tricks like this are only possible after long training explains one of the camp managers. if you would like to lead. english you should talk english to them since there were young same thing with love if you would like to lead them. on you to teach them thing there were young. for centuries elephants in southeast asia we used for transport in the timber industry until logging was banned in the region 30 years ago. with thousands of captive elephants out of work their owners turn to tourism. elephant tourism is now

a lucrative business but one that's lightly regulated. nina ortman brask is a biologist she advises camps on how to ensure that entertaining tourists isn't detrimental to elephant wellbeing. and good welfare can easily be done in a writing camp if you provide the elephant with a enough food enough water enough rest and and otherwise brief and discomfort also . to biologists is pleased with the camp's general conditions the elephants seem to be in good shape she says but she admits that she often runs into secrecy just like today when asked about the specific methods of training young elephants the camp veterinarian becomes rather tight lipped. and often cannot call for it asked serious the us and he called wherever he has. on the

internet it's possible to find videos of a torturous ritual designed to break an elephant spirit the method has been used for centuries it's a brutal training process that can go on for weeks only when the elephant stops resisting is it released from its agony. animal rights groups are calling for a boycott of elephant camps they convinced interactions like these are only possible once an elephant has been broken many western travel companies have stopped offering this kind of tourism but with growing numbers of chinese visitors business is thriving. brusk thinks an effective boycott would do more harm than good. if there's no revenue coming into the camp the elephant will still be here but it will just have very very poor. listen tourism is
