this is it every news life or role in respect and reverence remembering d.-day and the moment when allied troops stormed the beaches of normandy to free europe from nazi occupation 75 years ago u.s. president donald trump joined his french counterpart and mentor in moscow to pay respect to veterans and the fallen during mean moving ceremony at a u.s. military cemetery. also coming up the worst serial killer in modern german history is sentenced to life in prison a german court convicts former hospital knowsley nurse mills her goal of killing 85 patients in his hair over a 5 year period in a case that has shocked the nation plus we'll take you to malawi where

a burgeoning demand for sand is leading to a conflict over land use and threatening one of the largest lakes in africa. a lark it's a pleasure to have you along everyone on this day 75 years ago the biggest invasion force of its kind in history began the assaults that would lead less than a year later to the total collapse of nazi rule in europe but the day's victory came at a very heavy cost thousands of allied troops lost their lives fighting to break through nazi defenses on the beaches of normandy the leaders of britain france and the u.s. have paid tribute to those who died there along with the surviving veterans of the battle. the beaches of normandy.

75 years later the veterans of that fateful day with the memories of those who were killed. during the test ok when freedom had to be for. a full. day. of freedom. tens of thousands of our like troops french civilians in german soldiers died here in the summer of 944 d.-day marked the beginning of the end of the war making way for victory over the nazis the following year today 2 ceremonies one british one american marking d.-day as an indelible victory for democratic values it is incredibly moving to be here today looking out across speeches where one of the greatest battles for freedom in this world has took place. and it is truly humbling to do so with the men

who with that day we are here on freedom's often. on this day 75. 1000 their blood and thousands sacrificed their lives for their brothers for their countries and for the survival of liberty. we know what we. do you've made the rounds all freedom. on behalf of my nation. i just want to say thank you. i. for the french president it was a moment to try to shore up alliances in divided and troubling times. age is reducing the number of veterans but those who can are determined to mark the

anniversary but what they fought for is arguably being challenged by far right populism on the rise in many countries posing existential questions to democrats in europe and around the world. let's go to mark software now who is in normandy at the american cemetery in corvettes you're mad max a very good to see you a very moving day what working you tell us about how the day on full that and the ceremonies that took place. it was a little more complicated here in france that it was in the u.k. because the french really wanted to mirror all the different activities of d.-day and as you know you had 3 lead nations a year a plus a couple of other smaller nations that were involved in d.-day the u.k. the americans the canadians and so they had these commemorations on different parts of this stretch that partly you could maybe can see behind me where the blue is

that's that's the sea and this whole stretch you had different commemorations we saw one of them with the u.k. and 3 survey where i am right here this is where donald trump came together with the french president a man whom i call later on there was another one with the canadians and then there was a purely french one on top of that so a flurry of activity here mirroring what happened on d.-day now i understand that you also had the opportunity to speak to some of the veterans that are participating in the ceremonies and what have they shared with you. yes with a couple of them and it's of course one of the last chances to talk to them so if you really want to pick their brain what's going on you know what do they see when they when they look at the ocean and one of them for example told me he still sees people drowning there when he looks at that so it's those are not necessarily easy conversations but there's still a lot of humor and the main message from these veterans was come on everybody we got to get along we're all we're all humans and i talked to one of them harvey

siegel who is 94 years old now so when he came up on that beach behind me omaha beach he was 19 years old but he still thinks about it every day but why don't you have a listen to yourself here it is. when we 1st landed on the beach and we were shelled . i was just a 19 year old kid and i was just at a high school and they said they're trying to kill me i read what you know that trying to kill me. are you surprised by that oh the show was where you were going in the war well i didn't know what to expect really kerry. as a matter of fact when i went for life the circle. the standard weight was $105.00 i only way to 100 pounds so i said so the the examiner sets of me you don't have to go i said i want to go could you change the weight and he did i

so like a guardian and then when i was shelling me the 1st day i said what did i do you regretted it recreated the tele as it had to tell him that but actually when i got out of the foxhole i felt exhilarated because because i felt i survived i got i was able to survive the shelling like a like a like a man was very proud of myself thank you very much for our great firsthand account there maxa are also understand leaders of course from a several countries have also taken to the podium and addressed those who are attending what that they say. well let's focus on french president might call in the u.s. president donald trump because those 2 really haven't been going or getting along that well in the past in the past years you could really say and so the question beforehand was would they put their differences aside for a day and they did although there were differences in the speech as well 1st of all

they all stressed the unbreakable bond between france and i did states that's what donald trump called unbreakable but then when you listen to the speeches of course there were differences really focused on the emotional part he didn't focus on the individual stories of the better ones he even went to embrace them when he when he talked about them in a minute michael wanted to make a point in front of the u.s. president saying that international institutions like nato and the united nations rose from the ashes of the 2nd world war and stressed how important they were and that of course is sort of a jab towards donald trump who has repeatedly said that he's not very fond of those institutions now of course conspicuous by absence absence was of course the president of russian president vladimir putin why wasn't he invited to russia played a very pivotal role in helping bring world war 2 to an end. that

is true just not here they did that on the eastern front and that's what the team you're putin or at least spokes person stressed in their answer in saying that we did all the work on the eastern front and d.-day wasn't that important you would meet many people right here who would say the contrary but he just wasn't invited and i can only assume it's also because of the current relations between western countries and russia all right thank you so much max hofmann reporting from corn thank you. and the d.-day landings in normandy not only took the german occupying forces by surprise it came as a shock to local french people as well i do catherine martin's met one frenchman who found his family home being taken over by advancing american troops. the normandy beaches the stage for a major act in world history they are closely bound to the personal history of some

french people here. we will introduce you to the man whose family home in the aftermath of the normandy landings was transformed into a little just of headquarter for the american soldiers. not far from omaha beach is john paul who was on my mom's home he's 89 years old and he still lives there many of his memories come from family stories he was 14 when the d.-day landings happened only a few hours after the allied forces had taken the beaches the americans reached his house which at that time was still occupied by german soldiers. this is where the americans came in you could hear them quite clearly i've been told because of soldiers carry water bottles because there's not a clicking sound every step of. the noise acted as a warning for the german occupiers hold the man says it took the u.s.

soldiers 2 attempts to take the house and set up their logistics of a ration center there for 4 months the g.i.'s went in and out of here and each room has its own story door. as a cargo ship arrived the commander gave orders for this and that on board so many trucks such and such an amount i mean. and it especially that of all the trucks go here. and if the american army needed something they call it here. to treat the troop the major d.-day landings weekend in the early morning precisely at 6 30 am here at the operation overlord as it was stopped was the largest landing operation in history nearly 200000 soldiers were engaged against nazi germany the allies conquered 5 great chats with over

a 1000 of them dying on omaha beach on june 6th alone. exactly that morning same spot same time a young french boy labored with the plow here on the coast and i witnessed the 1st landing of american troops in normandy. michelle back 15 years old at the time saw the whole thing the rocky coast point york was heavily bombed on the morning of june 6th 1944 he had his father here in the fields certainly he heard a deafening noise. that day was ploughing right in the edge of the cliff i saw a plane fly over the sea it disappeared for a 2nd then suddenly rose sharply and flew directly over me the blades of the grass around me were completely flattened by the wind of the plane i still have it like a photo in my head. thinking. he wasn't afraid he says not even of the

ground troops. draw and i was surprised i never thought the soldiers would actually climb the 40 meter high cliff and i was even more surprised when the americans arrived. back to the o. the months the american stayed in their house for several months and his wife were dead still feel close to the americans one of the g.i.'s became a friend he often visited them here in normandy up until his death. at 9 in the morning 108 he set up his office in our house. just one day later from here. for example who is a man who wants to tell the story of his house this is important to him in memory

of all of the soldiers who gave their lives here in normandy. some of the other stories making news around the world. sudan's pro-democracy demonstrators say they're determined to continue their campaign of civil disobedience until the ruling military council is ousted or this comes as the african union announces that suspending sudan's participation in all african union activities until a civilian government is in place on dozens of people have been killed in 3 days of clashes between the military and protesters. and eastern uganda at least 6 people are feared dead and dozens missing after heavy rain triggered a series of landslides hundreds of houses have been destroyed in the mountainous good region the red cross has warned of outbreaks of disease due to continuing rainfall. in denmark the social democrats have emerged as the

winners of national elections taking a quarter of the vote party leader metaphysics and is now on track to become prime minister if she can secure support from parliament denmark is set to become a 3rd nordic country within a year to elect a left leaning government following sweden and finland. here in germany a cortez sentenced one of the world's most prolific serial killers to life in prison former hospital nurse her goal has been found guilty of killing 85 patients in his care prosecutors said he deliberately induced cardiac arrest in patients so he could then we suspect date them and impressed his colleagues but many of her goals interventions failed and patients died so had already been serving a life sentence for 2 previous murder convictions from his killing spree which lasted from. 2000 and till 2005. the

only correspondent marial up mother has been reporting from about trial in the city of oldenburg she went to meet a former colleague of neil's hogle who worked with him in one of the hospitals where he murdered dozens of patients. frank locks the man still reflects on the time working alongside near to where the former nurse was his colleague for 2 years at the main clinic in arden bock knox the man quickly became aware that there was something wrong with her there. it was obvious he wanted to be the action hero who saved people but you sometimes get that people who work in rescue services who are under the illusion that they're the big heroes google is one of those. who are for. the man only became suspicious after around a year and a half that's when he started to notice that patients would suffer cardiac arrests more often when hoover was on duty. of paper at 1st we just thought it was bad luck

until a colleague said so dirty google on duty again. despite rumors circulating neither lobsterman are any of his colleagues reported to the police he did tell us a period out of the when he noticed that a patient had elevated levels of potassium in his blood but there was no consequences it was later discovered that who would inject patients with potassium in order to bring on cardiac arrests so that he could reanimated them and appears the great lifesaving hero again and again and then on a single weekend on who could shift there were 14 resuscitations and 5 tests and yet who will simply transfer to another ward and the clinic lied all the reason why a clinic director a chief physician or a nursing director stays silent is to prevent the reputational damage to the clinic because we all know that that would mean fewer patients coming into our care in believe. it took several further resuscitations in the new ward for the head of the

clinic to decide that google had to go now the nurse alleged to have killed 36 people by this point he was dismissed from his post with glowing references he then applied for a job at a clinic in dam and hawes just a few kilometers away we continued to murder under. beta 64 more patients were to die it who could send their. grandfather was one of his victims he underwent a gastrointestinal operation shortly before he was to be released he suddenly suffered a cardiac arrest so. my grandfather was resuscitated by the murderer and then 2 or 3 days later for same thing happened again. so he was practically murder trials as. a model. in 2005 who was finally card red handed as he was about to administer an injection to a patient it was the end of a killing spree unprecedented in germany a nurse who doesn't help sick people but secretly murders them possibly in more than $100.00 cases. it's hundreds often times but in reaching these verdicts we

have achieved as much transparency as is legally possible the hope now is that many of the relatives find pieces of the. still the legal proceedings have not yet been completed fellow nurses doctors supervisors who among them was complicit in news his crimes then the stations are ongoing. i want to shift our focus now to africa and the environmental problems accompanying it rapid economic growth on the continent cities are expanding quickly and with them the need for raw materials one material that's especially in high demand is said in malawi is the main cause of conflict over land use and threatens local ecosystems our correspondent if you krishna reports. like malawi is one of the largest water bodies in africa. it's a vital source of fish and it's your wrist attraction but it is also under threat.

more and more for its famous sandy beaches vanishing as the highly coveted sand is removed even though this school bit. all over the beach you can clearly see the damage is a feeling girl sand mining the sand has taken over here obviously they're waiting for somebody to pick it up in a larger scale and on top of it you can feel the sand is very soft but a little bit further down you find the hardest sand it has positive stones inside and this is the sand that is ideal for construction. these children loading an ox cart with the sand quickly leave as we start filming. you know people. who were going to get a say the santas for their parents were building a house. but only a few blocks away it's clearly visible how money is made with the booming santa

business a truckload of sand sells for the equivalent of $120.00 euros nobody wants to talk to us on camera so we film secretly the sellers say this is the only way they can earn enough to make ends meet these that morning taking a stand is not allowed we just get it from the beach it's not easy because it's illegal we usually get into trouble with the beach owners or with the police samantha lewthwaite crew owns a guest house on the leg has been observing the entries in the eagle center mining for years she thinks the lake can withstand the loss of a few oxcarts full now and then but not all truck loads on a daily basis they're taking every day they were taking 50 tons they're doing it from. the beach in front of her a guest house is still intact because there's no access road but she's worried about the future although clear laws are in place new dick says the authorities don't enforce them enough. they're reacting extremely smoothly when i say they're

not reacting that will be alive they are reacting but it's about having meetings about having meetings you meet with the local the chiefs the traditional authorities then you have to meet again with these other stakeholders which is environmental departments mining departments trying to get everybody together is extremely difficult the environmental officer did get a stop loss order but the police have not acted on that stop or the local commissioner is aware of the problem and has promised to deal with it but he wants it won't be easy to find a solution that's acceptable to all parties. where now we're seeing that the situation in these overweening so. indeed maybe 4 other people in my t.c. 3 do that he knew where slowed to going back on but the procedures have to be followed but scientists warn that the time is running out the lakes water quality is endangered and that has

a serious impact on fish stocks you have different fish species that do well and breed well in shallow waters so if the depending of the of the shores well i think those fish is obviously going to decline in the short term most people just look at the immediate gains the money they get certainly in the long term will start feeling the impacts and will start seeing things in future which is when people will start reacting and it will be too late. meanwhile cement alluding to offer alternative jobs to the local century movers. she thinks it's the only way to save lake malawi so it can still provide a livelihood to local residents and an inspiration to visitors. there women's football world cup gets underway on friday tomorrow or france is host see it both the final on july 7th will not take place in paris but instead in new

york and this stadium looks empty now but it won't be on july 7th when that final takes place it's a city that has become central to the development of the women's game in the country and the hosts are among the favorites to follow their male counterparts and left the trophy if they do you know will have played a major role there's more. it's here that the world champions will be crowned but leon's park olympique is a stadium that's already seen its fair share of glory olympic leons women's team play some of its games here asyut whose dominance in europe is near total they've won the last 13 french league titles and 4 champions league in a row so with the world cup coming to france leone was the natural choice to host the biggest game of all. is known in europe and around the world for this team olympique leonis it was obvious that the final would take place there. because this person. leon successor has much to the backing of club president

michel all or he's provided the funds and supports that have allowed the club to bring in stars like ballon d'or when the hager bag and germany's jennifer merritt jan. and leon players also make up the spine of the french team including club captain wendy when are. near the stadium very well and when we're on the pitch and see the fans jumping for us it's a boost. it's an additional motivation. for super monta tickets for the final sold out within 30 minutes of going on sale the level of support athletes received today is a far cry from the days when the vice president of the french football federation bridgette on rica's was playing football. when i wanted to join a team at age 5 they said they didn't take girls we didn't exist in football because i was. as for the local fans they have high expectations for the home world

cup. i think they're doing everything to push women sports and football we expect a lot of the french team. was good for us they won their warm up games and saying they will win the world cup they have huge potential. conditionals so no holes where in france our teams often play good championships and good tournaments when they're at home i think it's in the bag. and for. success for the french team would mean much more than just a trophy. a title would feel like the end of our journey to get recognition. france faced plenty of tough opposition in the bid to win the world cup on home soil but if they do manage to lift the trophy there couldn't be a better place for them to do it. and i got a reminder gorman's cup kicks off tomorrow that does it for me only allow iraq and
