this is you know we lose live from berlin a staggering new figure from the u.s. refugee agency the number of displaced people worldwide has reached a record high of more than 70000000 the un's high commissioner for refugees few people grandy says without international cooperation that figure will continue to rise. and we will continue to sleep the consequences of conflict for millions of people to meet these very difficult choice to leave behind a pretty. clear and good imports are also coming off international investigators

need for murder suspects in the downing of malaysia airlines flight m.h. 70 nearly 300 people were killed when the passenger jet was shot down over ukraine nearly 5 years ago but will the suspects ever stand trial. plus the this german politician was shot in the head at close range by an alleged right wing extremist only service to getting word that the suspect acted alone or was part of a militant network. 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 17000000 people a. around the world are the currently displaced most of the refugees are from syria

the war there has forced nearly 7000000 people to leave the country of gonna start south sudan 1000000 mark and somalia also saw millions leaving because of conflict and persecution where are they all going to while turkey tops the list of host countries with more then what will 3700000 people at followed by pakistan uganda sudan and germany's 5th on the list with more than 1000000 refugees we want to take now a closer look at uganda and ask why this country has been more welcoming to refugees than many others. seem find seem stich by stage it is phony is making a new dress she recently trained as a seamstress as part of a u.n. refugee aid projects 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 into print 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. functions differently people aren't simply confined to a camp liking kenya refugees who were arrived here are immediately given a work permit and land which is provided by the communities and then you neighbors they also receive monthly benefits. we have cash and for does work because when we give them food get that is restricted to the food that we're giving them but when you give them cash you have the option to buy and supplement what effect that 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 and schools but of course there are still challenges. as a younger school we have enormous challenges one of it is the infrastructure like the classrooms are not enough we don't have st the laboratories we don't have labor ready though we have the books but we have nowhere to put them then also the teachers move from 5 distance to come yet so there are no stuff does there also the students essentially they've got a tail from 5 distance to come and land in the school. no bitch of a school is in a june baked 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 summon yours mindy's so many people would probably not know that's an aside from this a district but it is where under we pay tax when you look at the infrastructure development we have constructed excess wards in that if it is a tremendous well constructed discourse structed 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. and earlier did over use on your curler spoke with the un's high commissioner for refugees from the foregrounded the appealed for more international cooperation barely 71000000 people worldwide are displaced or refugees a high increase in numbers compared to last year one of the reasons. the main one is inability to resolve conflict to put an end to wars old wars chronic wars new wars new crisis unless this is addressed to gether unanimously by the international community we will continue to see these figures rise 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 yemen 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 this 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 of people that make these 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 that. apologies we came out of that a little sooner than anticipated let's move on to our next story dutch prosecutors have named 4 suspects in the downing of malaysia airlines flight m h 175 years ago

the international team heading the investigation announced that one ukrainian and 3 russian men will face murder charges for their alleged involvement in shooting down the plane in july 2014 flight m.h. 17 was hit by a russian made missile while flying over ukraine all 298 people on board were killed most were from the netherlands. 5 years of inquiry have led the international joint investigation team to these 4 men can so if they do bensky elect pull out of unlearn each shot janko investigators believe they're responsible for the death of 298 people on board flight m.h. 17 the malaysian airliner shot down over separatist held territory in ukraine. for them to feel when the prosecution is charging these 4 men because we believe it was their plan their cooperation and their actions in july 2014 that led to the downing of flight m.h.

17. need some of 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. the last 5 years have weighed heavily on the families who lost loved ones in the tragedy today the victims' relatives expressed relief that they can finally director under. i just want to know the truth and this is a good. one with what it's. just it's. just. chilled. out a bit. but since russia and ukraine unlikely to extradite the suspects just for the families of the mh 17 victims we proved elusive let's get you more now on these long awaited findings by the prosecutor want to go

to barbara hazel in brussels or 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 into eastern ukraine with the plane was shot down and ask people in place what did you see what happened at that day during that day did you see anything did you hear anything as they had to rely on mostly on data from the telecoms company cation 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 rather easily manipulated so they have to be verified again and again and so 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 separatist forces in the self-proclaimed republic of donetsk in eastern ukraine so this is the man who obviously sort of could next to it and communicated with everybody else and he worked together with 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 done very quickly and to sort of secretly sort of spiriting it away and bringing it back on to 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 a judge and be brought to justice. they will do 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 anything is so these people will

stay in russia and they will just watch from far but of course a trial in absence of the accused is possible even a verdict is possible and there is an international sort of a 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 was in whether they will have a separate trial is not yet known of a slip or pretty from brussels thank you. i want to tell you now about some of the other stories making news around the world. a u.n. rights experts says saudi crown prince mohammed bin samon should be investigated over the killing of the journalist democracy. comma cited what she calls credible evidence of been salmond's liability she was killed last year in saudi arabia's istanbul consulate. a kenyan court has found 3 suspects guilty for their role in

a massacre at caruso university in the country's northeast the men were also found guilty of belonging to the islamist terror group nearly $150.00 people were killed in the 2015 attacks candidates for the leadership of britain's conservative party have clashed in a television debate former foreign minister boris johnson remains a front runner already lawmakers will narrow the field to 2 in the coming days 160000 party members will then pick their new leader and britain's new prime minister and a postal vote. former french president nicholas of course he will have to answer accusations that he attempted to bribe a prosecutor to obtain information french media say france's highest court rejected mr sucker sees bit to dismiss the case is the target of several investigations and

this is the 1st to go to trial. 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 valter nuku was shot in the head it's at close range earlier this month mr gators are examining the possibility that the suspect may have been part of a wider network. the german politicians shot dead on his own terrace following intensive investigations author and he survived. to fight and arrested a main suspect a man with several previous convictions for his parts in attacks by far right extremists now german 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 as are enough he says he heard a gunshot that night and then he saw 2 cars driving very aggressively close by. he

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 escape. look we're talking about an

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 hadn't raised suspicions among officials for at least a decade. thanks to 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 a betrothed sided. and often. people tend to be networked with each other on social

media. even if they appear to act alone they're likely to find affirmation online and now the suspect is being investigated further in custody he has not yet spoken about the allegations. it's true the central asian country of kazakhstan now which has been pushing to westernize over the last few years sent to do that authorities want to switch from the cyrillic alphabet to the latin one by the year 2025 while the government says the move will not just as a country from russia which also uses cyrillic well russia is the country's most important trading partner in the w.'s and leisure and visited a village school to find out what people there think of the plan. that. was 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 lessons but 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 year is teachers will have to receive additional training. we will find the switch because we already has 2 on the alphabet. did i miss the children a young girl learn the alphabet quickly because of. what i didn't use more good 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 learn as in 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 in the village of kind as are across the country cousins and russian are both official languages here children choose which language they want to study and like many cause us most pupils are bilingual now the jump to

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 a mammoth change. kazakhstan's 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 cause us are critical of the move was because thought it was a speaker stance which a long time ago as a country just honest trying to keep up with the west and with europe the anything is the move will hit the country's budget hard. and literally i don't see the point of the check much of the basically on any

advantages which is why do we need this more maybe just so we can save we did it in the future because. at the movable letterman it's not hard for me to use the new alphabet but that was the only we all know you said on line already when we messaged your friends. but the. maybe adults don't yet know the latin alphabet but back in the village of. 8th graders say they've already taught themselves and are using it on social media. kazakhstan's 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 were outside contenders australia while they defeated jamaica for want to reach the next round and that came in no small part thanks to the performance of captain sam kerr. australia got off to the

perfect start when captain sun steal this stunning video when the 11 minutes. drawl finished from australia stop playing. and captain fantastic made it to with another hit with this many australian cruising. but some tough jamaican cycling probably was going down without a fight. and so it proved to me the pulled one but we've done it so that in the full team maybe it's just me. but the hope was short lived some woeful defending still could by good serve the 1st australian ever since the world cup. is job done in the 83rd minute some slapstick still keeping still put the full. jamaica of the tournament australia through to the next round. while next verse or dermot have
