came at a heavy cost thousands of allied troops lost their lives fighting to break through nazi defenses on the beaches of normandy france the leaders of britain france and the us paid tribute to those who died there today along with the surviving veterans of that his store beth. along piper marked the moment 75 years ago when british troops began coming ashore on the normandy coast. some of those who fought in and survived to d.-day returned to take part in the anniversary events. and would like to do it again. but. more than 150000 allied troops stormed the beaches of nazi occupied france in 1904 in what remains the biggest ever naval invasion thousands were killed within hours u.s.

president donald trump and french president looked out over one of the beaches captured by american soldiers as planes flew a red white and blue tribute in the sky overhead. in their speeches to veterans the 2 leaders honored the men whose courage ultimately liberated france and europe from nazi dictatorship. today we remember those who fell and we honor all who fought right here in normandy. they won back this ground for civilization. to more than $100.00 several. veterans of the 2nd world war who joined us today you are among the very greatest americans. who will ever live we know what we. do you for the runs our freedom be on behalf of my nation be just one to say thank you.

ah. for many of the older of the veterans this year's d.-day anniversary will be their last visit to the battlefields of their youth but the rows of crosses will remain a reminder to future generations of the allies joint sacrifice to defeat evil. and he was at today's commemorations and he spoke to a d.-day veteran named frank de vito mr de vito also took part in today's ceremony take a listen when you look out to the sea here what do you see. i see a lot of dead bodies. i see a lot of dead bodies still today. back to england 300 dead bodies american soldiers. is this still something

you think about every day today or has it past. as. you leave the war never leaves you you'll always be in war all the rest of your life till they put you in that box. and what does it mean to you to be here today. well i'm very proud i'm very proud to be amongst all these beautiful people of all nationalities. right there is a question i wanted. a veteran of d.-day for a long time would you have done it if you had known what you were getting into. course. and i didn't know what i was getting into. we had films. people talked to do we know what was going on there so you weren't surprised by the magnitude. and when i was when i saw the

pictures of the causes ration care was i knew why i had to fly. no way out of the. thank you very much right. credible testimony from people who were actually there 75 years ago to talk about the historical importance of the day i'm very good to be able to help by you know political correspondent shahs it's good to see you again so how important is it for these memories to remain alive well at the moment routes across varied between history memory and contemporary issues in international relations so it's more important than ever that such come aeration take place for a younger generation to know where their freedom come from comes from because soon that look we just so a veteran talking about she's today so that's a direct witness but soon all the direct witnesses we would have passed away and there would be no person who has experienced

a war who could after the convey that's a sentiment of so for us now is that sentiment of doing something for the greater good to younger generations and that's why it's so apparent today that such commemorations that is if it is a very good point to and i mean soon there will be no one living who was alive when our current global order was was founded. and that's important too isn't it i mean we know that there's talk now about our global order being threatened. trump you know they were watched closely today are they part of the solution moving forward i mean are they best buddies again i guess i could guess it comes and goes with my crunch we can say today they're definitely put on. a show of unity that's not a dream just ceremony that both gave 2 very moving speech is french president emanuel highlighted to need for and you need to highlighted a need for over

a new will of the french american friendship while president trump really put forward the experiences of personal experiences of some of the veterans who were there and some of the 5 veterans american veterans have been decorated have been awarded with the greatest french on our recent research on our i think it's the equivalent of. heart yes exactly exactly so a show of unity they seem to have mended wildly relationship champ not so long ago was mocking poor results in the in the polls and he was angry at the french president for wanting a european army for example that today there was none of dots it was really about showing a united front to. read in the speeches we had saying that the european union the united nations were a direct result of d.-day and what happened there we'd hear anything like that coming from the president. is that evidence though that we're still dealing with 2

world views that. maybe could collide and they are very different indeed. michael mentioned you up he said it was a direct result of world war 2 he also talked about nato which seemed to have been a direct job president trampin he mentioned at the united nations who was born as a result of world war 2 why donald trump trump and focused more on america's sovereignty and in doing so he seemed to have was so forgotten that america became the united states became a superpower so mostly because of the war industry that developed to be able to have some critics have said you could see your america 1st between the lines of that speech today by the president remember as always we appreciate your insights thank you. well the d.-day landings in normandy only took the german occupying

forces by surprise the invasion came as a shock to local french people as well catherine margins met one frenchman who found his family home being taken over by advancing american troops. in the normandy beaches the stage for a major act in world history they are close rebounds to the personal history of some french people here. we will introduce you to the man whose family home in the often lot of the normandy landings was transformed into a little just it had quarter of the american soldiers. not far from omaha beach is john paul who is 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. the this is where the americans came in and you could hear them quite clearly i've been told because of soldiers carry water bottles thinking sound every step of. the noise acted as a warning for the german occupiers hold them on says it took the u.s. soldiers 2 attempts to take the house and set up their logistics operations center there for 4 months the g.i.'s went in and out of here and each room has its own story. 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.

you want to do said poor me tell you to treat the troop the major d.-day landings weekend in the early morning precisely at 6 30 am here at. 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 bridge hats with over a 1000 of them dying on the beach on june 6th alone. exactly that morning same spot same time a young french boy labored with a plow here on the coast and here i was the 1st thing of american troops in normandy. michelle back 15 years old at the time saw the whole thing the rocky coast i want york was heavily bombed on the morning of june 6th 1944 he had this

father here in the fields suddenly he heard a deafening noise. that day i was plowing right in the edge of the cliff i saw a plane flight over the sea it disappeared for a 2nd then suddenly rose sharply and flew directly over me as 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. 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's amongst 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.

trip on. beach at 9 in the morning and junaid he set up his office in our house. all just one day later from here. just to climb and. for example who is a man who once to tell the story of his house this is important to him in memory of on the soldiers who gave their lives here in normandy. here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world sudan's pro-democracy demonstrators say they are determined to continue their campaign of civil disobedience until the ruling military council is alstad it comes as the african union announces its a spendings it ends participation in all a you activities until a civilian government is installed dozens of people have been killed in 3 days of

clashes between the military and protesters in eastern uganda at least 6 people are feared dead and dozens missing after heavy rain triggered a series of landslides hundreds of houses that have been destroyed in the mountainous but duda region the red cross has warned of outbreaks of disease due to continuing rainfall the european drugs agency has more on the continent is being inundated with unprecedented amounts of cocaine its latest report states almost one in 3 european adults have tried to legal drugs and that consumption is rising authorities seized a record amount of cocaine last year according to the report. you're watching t.w. news live from berlin still to come in denmark 41 year old metz and frederick son you see here they are she is poised to become the country's youngest ever prime minister or take a closer look at her party's resulting election victories and the task of forming a new government. here in germany a court has sentenced one of the world's most prolific serial killers to wife in

prison former hospital nurse kneels has been found guilty of killing 85 patients in his care prosecutors say he deliberately induced cardiac arrest in patients so that he could recess it hate them and impress his colleagues but many of her goals interventions failed and the patients die who had already been serving a life since. since for 2 previous murder convictions from his killing spree which lasted from the year 2000 to 2000. when he w. corresponded mario mueller was following the trial forwards today she was in the courtroom when the verdict was delivered sometimes the worst fantasies can't describe the truth these were the words of judge spin man who read the verdict of me it's who that today who was found guilty of 85 he will suffer a life sentence for that at least 15 years but probably longer because of the severity of jail it's there were 15 cases where there wasn't enough evidence to

prove if me it's too good wasn't it the murderer the families of these victims are sad and upset they will never have certainty for them this trial was just the start they want those responsible in the clinic who knew about need serious crimes and covered him to be brought to justice so that was our correspondents william miller reporting from that trial in the city of old and back she also met with a former colleague of mules who worked with him in one of those 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 and book locks the man quickly became aware that there was something wrong with her there. double my blood clot of 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 hugel 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 who was on duty. of paid at 1st we just thought it was bad luck until a colleague said so death google on duty again. despite rumors circulating neither lobsterman or any of his colleagues reported it to the police he did tell the superior about it though 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 life saving 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 stay 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 is 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 haas just a few kilometers away where he continued to murder unabated. 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 the same thing happened again. so he was practically murder trials. awarded. in 2005 who was finally caught 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 cases your time there is 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. in denmark the leader of the social democrats you're right there she's been tasked with forming a new government after her party emerged as the winners of national elections meant to frederickson or need the support of other parties and a left wing bloc that defeated the center right government and prompted the prime minister's resignation denmark is the 3rd nordic country within a year to elect

a leftist government following sweden and finland. it's here at copenhagen palace where denmark's queen mike a to receive the representatives of the country's political parties to discuss the formation of a new government though he conceded defeat tradition dictated the country's prime minister was 1st in line i think it's clear mehta frederickson will be given the task of putting together a new administration. fredrickson social democrats topped the polls after a campaign that focused on migration the climate crisis and the welfare state. in recent years to social democrats have adopted a much tougher line on immigration and pledged to increase public spending. at the end that danes have decided they want to new majority and want to move in a different direction. frederickson will need the support of other parties with similar ideas on environmental and social policy and i've got to see stay here

we've always said that we're open to negotiation with much affection and reaching agreements that will take denmark in a different direction. but despite a willingness to work together there are differences most notably over migration policy. why do the french open the men's quarterfinal matches were finally played after rain postponed them for a day and the results mean world number one novak djokovic will face the team in the semifinals defeated alexander in 3 straight sets the victory gets a joke of it's one step closer to securing his 2nd french open title and earlier world number 4 dominant theme lost in last year's final made white work of his opponent. hutch enough with our fiona doll and roger federer also in the mix the

semifinals will feature the top 4 there in the world. where the women's football world cup gets under way in on friday france the country hosting it but the final on july 7th will take place not in paris but instead in leo a city that has become central to the development of the women's game in the country the hosts are among the favorites to follow their male counterparts and lift the trophy if they do will have played a major role here'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 a science 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 is much to the backing of club president michel he's provided the funds and supports that have allowed the club to bring in stars like ballon d'or went out to hagar bag and germany's jennifer jan. and leon players also make up the spine of the french team including club captain wendy. could be. near the stadium very well and women are on the pitch and see the fans jumping for us it's a boost. it's an additional motivation. for superman their 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 reeky 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. buys and i think they're doing everything to push women spots and football we expect a lot of the french team. they won their warm up games and i think they win the cup they have huge potential. conditionals will fall somewhere in france our teams often play good championships a 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. because i want a title would feel like the end of our journey to get recognition. front face plenty of tough opposition in the bid to win the world cup on hunch soil but if

they do manage to lift the trophy they couldn't be a better place for them to do it the neil. is a reminder of the top stories that we're following for you as president donald trump has joined his french counterpart emmanuel by calling to honor the veterans in the fall and of the d.-day landings 75 years ago assured america's allies that the bond between them forged in the heat of battle is unbreakable here in germany former nurse knows who has been given a life sentence for killing 85 patients in his care making him one of the world's most prolific serial killers he carried out the killings over 5 years while working at hospitals in the world in germany. coming up next on the talks. this week the panel discussing whether america is facing a coalition crisis in her government but before that we're going to show you some of the best pictures from today's d.-day commemoration ceremonies in france i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news have to see it.
