stand trial plus this german politician was shot in the head at close range by an alleged right wing extremist police are investigating whether the suspect acted alone or was part of a militant network. on my heart thank you so much for your company everyone. new figures from the un refugee agency show record numbers of people have been displaced by war or persecution more than 70000000 people have fled from around the world and are currently displaced well most of the refugees are from syria the war there has left nearly 7000000 people to leave the country afghanistan south sudan me and mar and so malia also saw millions leaving because of conflict in person. where are
5:02 pm
they going topping the list of where people are going is turkey followed where 3700000 people followed by pakistan uganda sudan and germany is 5th on that list with more than 1000000 refugees we take now a closer look at uganda and ask why that particular country has been more welcoming to refugees the many others. seem fine seem stitch by stage it is phony is making a new dress she recently trained as a seamstress as part of a u.n. refugee aid project in 2016 she fled with her family from war torn south sudan to uganda. on our way of the rebels came they took our property tortured us in different ways and beat us. little bones it's like millions of others from south sudan edith and her family found refuge in uganda refugee a.t.f.
5:03 pm
functions differently people aren't simply confined to a camp liking kenya refugees who were arriving here are immediately given a what permits and land which is provided by the communities and then you neighbors they also receive monthly benefits. we have cash and food as well because when we give them food get that is restricted to the 4 that we've given them but when you give them cash you have the option to buy and supplement what to buy that debt that that is so it's optional ugandans have a strong willingness to give to those in need for 20 years they also suffered during the civil war they also benefit from international aid which can be used to build hospitals or schools but of course there are still challenges. i see youngest school we have an almost challenges one of it is the infrastructure
5:04 pm
like the classrooms are not and now we don't have say in the laboratories we don't have labor ready though we have the books but we haven't know where to put to them then or so the teachers move from for these things to come here so there are no stuff or does then also the students especially the girl tail move from fire distance to come and learn in the school. nobody who missed school is in a jew money district in the north of the country 400000 people live here half of them are refugees some of whom arrived here 50 years ago many of from south sudan where the most recent civil war broke out in 2013 it's led to an ongoing conflict between rival factions titus jogo the refugee officer in the district is happy that the refugees were able to find a new place to call home in uganda he believes it benefits the locals to the prisoners over to somebody beneath us mindy's so many people have been employed not
5:05 pm
not not in a city for disobey strict but it is where under we pay a tax when you look at the infrastructure development we have constructed access what roads into it if it is a tremendous well constructed discourse or structured it is there but there are also negative aspects rizzo's is like would supplies onto enduring in january this year almost 6000 more refugees arrived in uganda but it wants to keep its borders open and can only manage this influx with the help of aid money at least for the time being as uganda's policies continue to be put into action it's hoped that refugees will become self-sufficient like seamstress aegis phony. an earlier date of use on your collar spoke with the un's high commissioner for refugees from people gandhi he appealed for more international cooperation. by commission and nearly 71000000 people worldwide are displaced all refugees are high increase in
5:06 pm
numbers compared to last year one of the reasons. the main one is the inability to resolve conflict to put an end to wars old wars chronic course new wars new crisis unless this is addressed to gether unanimously by the international community we will continue to see these figures rice how should the world leaders address the situation by working together. we have seen that even in the crises that have caused the worst humanitarian problems like syria like libya like e.m.m. we have not seen unity on the part of the international community unless there is a unity in the security council where germany sits and tries to encourage a unit in other fora unless there is this unity of intent we will not solve conflict and we will continue to inflict the consequences of conflict on millions
5:07 pm
of people that make this very difficult choice to leave behind everything that they hold dear and go into exile. about half of the refugees are children what impact does it have on their lives that they have to grow up in a situation like this and isn't that a dramatic element of this whole situation children do not make choices they just leave because it's dangerous for them and the dangers are multiplied by their fragility by their exposure be it to disease be to hunger especially in some situations be it to exploitation and abuse which sadly we see in many of these conflicts and another thing that they think is very important education you know being on the move being in exile makes it reduces your chances to get a good education and we can only imagine what generations of children without education may mean so we really need to act on all these things at the same time. a
5:08 pm
huge number of people are refugees at the same time a lot of countries try to close their border what is your message to those governments this is the result of the political manipulation that has been made of this movement of people forced movement of people presenting them must threats presenting them as people that are coming here to steal our jobs and to threaten our security instead of presenting them us people the need of solidarity and so. board and instead of being strategic in trying to address the root causes i agreed that we want to put an end to these phenomena and i also believe that 71000000 is a big figure but when you look at the world $7500000000.00 people it is a manageable figure it can only be managed by working together by the dramatizing the whole issue of refugees and migrants and by being strategic about looking at the root causes if we start working in that manner and not continuously put back
5:09 pm
the issue into the political domain we will make progress for the people affected and for all of us high commissioner thank you very much. that's prosecutors have named 4 suspects in the shooting down of malaysia airlines flight m.h. 75 years ago the international team in charge of the investigation and now is that one ukrainian and 3 russian men who would be facing murder charges for their alleged involvement in downing the plane in july 24 team flight m.h. 17 was hit by a russian made missile flying over ukraine all 298 people on board were killed most were from the netherlands. here's what the dutch chief prosecutor had to say. for them to feel the prosecution is charging these 4 men because we believe it was their plan their cooperation and their actions in july 2014 that led
5:10 pm
to the downing of flight m.h. 17 rules on need sell it even though they didn't push the button themselves there is a suspicion that they worked together to obtain the missile launcher and put it in position with the goal of shooting down a plane let's get you more now on these long awaited findings by the dutch air prosecutor want to go to barbara in brussels where she's been tracking the investigation for the past 5 years barbara why did it take so long to identify the suspects. the reason is because these are incredibly difficult investigations because it is hard to find proof at all no investigators can go to the areas involved to eastern ukraine where the plane was shot down and ask people in plays what did you see what happened that day during that day did you see anything did you hear anything they had to rely on mostly on data from telecoms company cation
5:11 pm
from social media that more or less they received by ukrainian and other secret services now the main point is how reliable are those data they can be relatively easily manipulated so they have to be verified again and again and so if we just think back off the painstaking process to reconstruct the body of the plane that took place in 2015 where like a big puzzle every little piece was put back together they could be retrieved in order to prove that it was a book missile who had shut down this plane it shows the whole complexity of this case and the difficulties the investigators face right a mammoth endeavor indeed as you illustrate who are the suspects. there linchpin in this case seems to be a man called igor gerken he's a russian former russian officer connected to the russian secret service he was then the commander of separatist separatist forces the military commander of
5:12 pm
separatist forces in the self-proclaimed republic of donetsk in eastern ukraine so this is the man who obviously sort of could neck to and communicated with everybody else and he worked together his 2 for the russians and one ukrainian militia commander and these people are sort of like the middle ranking military's we're involved in transporting this book into eastern ukraine and positioning it and then after the plane the mh 17 was shot done very quickly and the sort of secretly sort of spiriting it away and bringing it back onto russian territory so these are the people who are now accused of murder because the nobleman say according to all law who does something like that can be accused as well as the men who actually pushed the button on the missile they are going to charge these men but how likely really is it barbara that the 4 suspects will actually show
5:13 pm
a judge and be brought to justice. they will the 3 of them at least will certainly not face a judge because russia will not extradite and does not extradite its citizens the kremlin has vigorously again said we had nothing to do with this and this is all fake and we weren't involved in the investigations that are not worth anything so these people will stay in russia and they will just watch from far but of course the trial in absence of the accused is possible even a verdict is possible and there is an international. warrant against these people so that they cannot travel internationally anymore whether that is very satisfactory or not everybody has to decide for themselves only ukraine says that they're going to trying to arrest their citizen who's involved in this what they will then do with him whether they will have a separate trial is not yet known in conclusion barbara the majority of victims of course of the 17 flight were dutch what does today's announcement mean to their
5:14 pm
relatives. i mean the prosecution service talked to them beforehand before they went public was the press conference and public was the name in order to tell them this is what we have and this is what we can do and so the few voices that we heard people said yes it's a 1st step in the right direction and it is sort of a certain satisfaction that at least there will be a trial against people but of course they need to know and understand that these people probably will never go to jail for what they have done and so it is only a very very harsh just piece of justice that they can have in this horrible and very sad case and it is very slow for the families of the victims to sort of get over this and have to deal with it again and again because this is not going to be the end the investigations will be carried on by base of reporting from brussels
5:15 pm
thank you. i should be up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world miss the human rights expert a un rates expert rather says a saudi crown prince mohammed bin some on should be investigated over the killing of the journalist. say it is that she what she calls credible evidence of been some man's liability she was killed last year in saudi arabia's istanbul consulate where candidates for the leadership of britain's conservative party have clashed in a televised debate former foreign minister boris johnson remains the front runner in party lawmakers will narrow the field too in the coming days 160000 party members well then pick their new leader and britain's next prime minister in a postal vote former french president nicolas sarkozy will have to answer accusations that he attempted to bribe a prosecutor to change information french media say france's highest court rejected
5:16 pm
soccer zs a bit to dismiss the case so crazy is the target of several investigations that this is the 1st to go to trial. u.s. president donald trump has launched his bid for reelection in 2020 speaking to thousands of his supporters at a rally in florida he lashed out at his opponents for train himself as a political outsider in the nation's capital w.'s on xander was at the rally and spoke to some of the some of the people there. diehards from supporters in orlando more than 24 hours before there really they were already camping out here this is just maureen and lorien told us their birthdays left to get into the 1st world. we wanted to see our president. we've been to other rallies script to us this is a historical event to be at his camp. most of the really go as voted for trump in
5:17 pm
2016 and are eager to do so again we use supporter. because he's fulfilled everything that he promised to do and that's he's a man of his word and we we believe that true leadership comes from being a man of your word it's important for me be here to to bring attention to a basically an election issue that i support i support barriers on america's southern border primarily to keep illegal narcotics and human trafficking out nori that was crucial to president strums 2016 election victory and he still seems to be quite popular here but despite a growing economy and low unemployment the trunk company is facing a tough pops to reelection its internal polling data shows trump behind top democratic contenders in key states and just relying on his core supporters might be not enough to pull off another victory in november next year. but this night was all about optimism and the will to win and done all trump took the stage and on
5:18 pm
land. tonight i stand before you to officially launch my campaign for a 2nd term as president and. i can promise you that i will never ever let you down i won't tax boosting to tarry spending judicial appointment in orlando tromped out it's what he called his great achievement at the same time he attacked his political opponents demonstrating how much his cum pain appears to rely on us versus them rhetoric no matter what label they use a vote for any democrat in 2020 is a vote for the rise of radical socialism and the destruction of the american dream . where it's that the anger and passion of chimes 2016 campaign
5:19 pm
and went down well with these core supporters. in florida. well here in germany investigations into the killing of a regional politician are being stepped up as after police reports suggest that a suspected far right extremist now under arrest may not have acted alone the victim politician of alternate who was shot in the head at close range earlier this month investigators are examining the possibility that the suspect may have been part of a wider network. the german politician shot dead on his own terrace following intensive investigations author and he's have identified and arrested a main suspect a man with several previous convictions for his parents in attacks by far right extremists now the chairman media reporting that clues have emerged that suggest he did not act alone they say a witness has come forward saying he saw 2 cars speeding near the scene. he says he heard a gunshot that night and then he saw 2 cars driving very aggressively close by. he
5:20 pm
says he thinks he may have made a wrong turn. by the font. the witness is said to have identified one of the cars as a faux fucking caddy that's the same type of car owned by the suspect's wife. his testimony has led investigators to examine whether there may be other assailants or people with knowledge of the crime. that's no part of the investigation. that. officials reportedly found a key to another car hidden in the suspects home which the suspect told his wife he had sold but that car has yet to be found prosecutors say they have found no evidence that there was more than one person involved in the killing on tuesday the german interior minister condemned the attack saying there was enough evidence to conclude that it was politically motivated skate. look we're talking about an
5:21 pm
attack against all of us. against a free nation. that adds another dimension to this and as others have said today the preservation of freedom is at stake for. say the suspect had raised suspicions among officials for at least a decade. thanks them is the suspect had a far right extremist career if i can put it that way starting in the late eighty's . he's been part of the far right scene since then he committed politically motivated crimes gun and when he was as such he was on the radar of the domestic intelligence service during that time. experts say they're often skeptical of lone wolf narratives when it comes to the far right. the thesis of lone individuals preparing crimes under cover and in isolation. i consider that to be
5:22 pm
a bit short sighted. people tend to be in networks with each other on social media . even if they appear to act alone they're likely to find affirmation online. now if the suspect is being investigated further in custody he has not yet spoken about the allegations. it's to the central asian country of kazakhstan now which has been pushing to western eyes over the last few years all to do that authorities now want to switch from the cyrillic to the latin alphabet by 2025 the government says the move will not distance the country from russia which also uses like russia is the country's most important trading partner and visited a village school to find out what people there think of the plan. it's lucky that learning how to read and write is so fun for these 1st graders at the moment they're learning the cyrillic alphabet in their cars like lessons but
5:23 pm
soon the kids at this village school will have to switch to the latin alphabet the government plans to phase it in across the country in the coming years teachers will have to receive additional training. we teachers will find the switch harder because we're already has 2 on the alphabet. unusual the children the young. learn the alphabet quickly was. already parents won't be able to help with the transition to the latin alphabet because they haven't allowed to themselves so children will only be able to manage the school we're worried that the main weight of this change will be on the teacher's shoulders. language is already a complicated question in kazakhstan even in this school and the village of. across the country cousins and russian are both official languages here children choose which language they want to study and like many causes most pupils are bilingual now the jump to
5:24 pm
a new alphabet awaits them as well. in the nearby city of new shop signs are already being written in the latin alphabet but soon the government will have to swap street signs and translate official documents and textbooks change. kazakhstan switch from the cyrillic to the latin alphabet is a break with its soviet past and a huge step in its search for a national identity that's why the government is pouring millions into the move. several neighboring central asian countries switched alphabet soon after the fall of the soviet union but in kazakhstan an independent survey shows most cars are critical of the move it was because it was weakest on switch a long time ago as a country trying to keep up with the west and will. europe the only thing is the move will hit the country's budget hard. and actually i don't see the point of the check much of the basically i want any if i want to
5:25 pm
choose which is why do we need this and maybe just so we can save we did it in the future because. the movable knew the frame and it's not hard for me to use the new alphabet but that was the only we all know he said on line already when we message our friends. but the internet with. many adults don't yet know the latin alphabet but back in the village of kind of 8th graders say they've already taught themselves and are using it on social media. as a stance government hopes the change will open up a whole new generation of cause us to the world. to the women's world cup now where there was plenty of drama last night with slots in the last 16 up for grabs among those in action or outside contenders australia all they defeated jamaica for one to reach the next round and that came in no small part thanks to the performance of captain sam kerr. australia go talk to the
