this is the only news lie from berlin where other charges for the men accused of downing malaysia airlines flight m.h. 70 nearly 300 people were killed on the passenger jet was shot down over ukraine 5 years ago but will the suspects ever stand trial also coming up and independent u.n. report says saudi crown prince mohammed bin some on should be investigated over the

killing of jamal khashoggi the journalist was murdered at the saudi consulate in istanbul last year plus a staggering new figure from the u.s. refugee agency the number of displaced people worldwide has reached a record high of more than $70000000.00 we asked the un's high commissioner for refugees what's behind the increase and what the international community can do to reverse this trend. on the ark thank you so much for your company everyone. but we begin in the netherlands where dutch prosecutors have named 4 suspects in the downing of malaysia airlines flight m h 75 years ago the international team heading the investigation announced that one ukrainian and 3 russian men will face murder charges in the netherlands for their alleged involvement in shooting down the plane

back in july 24000 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. burning debris was all that was left of flight m.h. 17 after it exploded above the eastern ukrainian town of oval it was difficult to gather evidence the site was in the crossfire of the conflict between pro russian militias and the ukrainian army an international team of investigators painstakingly for 5 years they were under dutch supervision since the plane took off from the netherlands and most of the victims were dutch now the federal prosecutor has pressed criminal charges. that obama's duty for them to state prosecutors believe that the planning corporation and actions of these 4 suspects led to the shooting down a flight m.h. 17. even if they did not press the button themselves.

we have the strong suspicion that they worked together closely to organize the anti aircraft battery and bring it to the place where it was fired and they go was clear they wanted to shoot down a plane. and. the men 3 russians and one ukrainian were all associated with the pro russian militias in eastern ukraine they are thought to have travelled back to their home countries including this man the chief suspect in the game alias strive cove but their exact whereabouts are unclear a year ago investigators revealed that the plane was shot down from an altitude of 10 kilometers by a so-called book missile that missile came from a russian army brigade russia has vehemently denied any responsibility for the deaths of the 298 people aboard the plane. for

some victims' families the indictment is welcome it's. a bit of her relief you know people in the to know a date and we want to know names. we got it i think that says this is a very good start yeah. proceedings against the 4 suspects are set to begin in march of 2020 though none of the defendants are expected to show up neither russia nor ukraine extradite their citizens. and to talk more about the findings of the dutch led investigation want to bring in our correspondent of a vessel in brussels who's been tracking this investigation for the past 5 years and in kiev ukraine standing by is nick calmly to get reaction from there want to start off with you barbara if i may it was of course evidently a very complex case it was true why was it did it take this long to determine who the suspects are. because like that was incredibly painstaking work because we just

remember how much it took a difficult it was to put the puzzle pieces together to reconstruct the downed airliner and to prove that it was in fact shot down by an anti-aircraft missile and then the next step to sort of figure out which battery which aircraft launcher was at that particular day in july 2013 in that project in the region off east ukraine and sort of give a name to it in figure out where it was and who was and then the next step off of course and probably the most difficult was to sift through sounds and stuff intercepted telecoms and social media messages between people being in the area at that time between the military between militias and everybody who was involved in this conflict at that time and people were using names like dolphin and orion those were the 2 who were now being accused and to figure out who's behind those names so

it was very difficult to make want to go to you and. can you tell us more about the suspect. so these 4 men 3 of them russian citizens the 4th is a ukrainian citizen the 3 russian citizens are all believed to have connections to russia's special security services and you basically have the full chain from the ghosts. otherwise known as total cold who at the time was the self-proclaimed minister of defense of the don't yet separatists government brought down 2 people who were on the grounds near the battery when the launch of the rocket happened people who were also believed to have been involved in recovering the black box of the malaysian boeing and the jihadi investigators initially and then organizing the return of the book missile system to russia after the tragedy occurred and what has been the reaction in ukraine where you are to the murder charges that were brought by dutch prosecutors. well we've had statements both from

current president villages alinsky and his predecessor was in charge of ukraine when this happened was a sense of vindication that the ukrainian version of events that this was something that was carried out by russian weaponry and organized by people with connections to russia that seemingly was very welcome to have that confirmation from the heavens today having said that though this story isn't playing as big here in ukraine as it probably is in the rest of europe because as you'll remember since that tragedy of july 24th team thousands of people have died in this conflict so that the dying still continues up to the last week so in a way for ukraine this is just part of a much bigger story that continues to dominate life here whereas we see for most of the rest of europe this is a reason to remember to go back to this conflict which shows no sign of ending well it barbara it's a go to you i mean this is of course playing very very big in the netherlands

a date and time has been set for court proceedings by dutch officials i just wonder i mean how likely is it that the suspects will actually ever spend a day in court. it is extremely unlikely as far as the 3 russians are concerned the more or less impossible there will be a trial it will be in a sense it is so they won't be in the courtroom but of course legally that is possible there will probably even be a verdict but nobody will go to jail for it the ukraine has sort of that they might look for their own citizen who was implicated in this and arrest him but then what happens would be up to them how they deal with this but nothing will really come of it it is the symbolic act it is a symbolic start i want to continue our on that in that vein barbara because of course the majority of the victims on the mh 17 were dutch i mean they have been through a horrifying experience i just wonder i mean is this really justice what justice

will look like for them is it meaningless this is just a symbolic act to hold this hold these people accountable it won't be meaningless because at least people have been named and there will probably be a verdict but of course it will remain a very partial satisfaction this is only a partial justice this is probably the best they're ever going to get and they have somehow have to come to terms with it that this is somehow all that the now the lens and the other countries who have who have been involved in the investigation team can do in the before them because the rest is politics and the kremlin is not budging on this question are so not entirely meaningless there nic are russia didn't cooperate with the investigation moscow has of course for years very maintained and denied any involvement in the shooting down of m.h. 17 but investigators say they have grounds to believe russian servicemen were

involved will there be any repercussions for the kremlin. well here's the crucial the crucial into a member here is that those 3 russian citizens of the 4 now implicated they all rule veterans of russian security services the question is were they still in active service or were they receiving orders from moscow at the time of this disaster the ukrainian size is vehement that they were but this has been a pattern all through the investigation not only of this tragedy but of deaths resulting from this conflict russia saying that people who previously had been identified as military personnel had either taken holiday to go and serve as volunteers in the separatist forces or had left active service is just a matter of days before leaving for eastern ukraine so that is the crucial distinction there that the russians are likely to make in terms of the

repercussions of moscow well i think it is going to be something that moves away from the sphere of justice to the sphere of diplomacy as bob are saying there is the west western governments willing really to put pressure on moscow and to really not take this policy of obfuscation and we've heard over the last 5 years moscow offering various versions. their versions of this disaster initially saying that it was the right a ukrainian plane who shot down that shot down this malaysian boeing or that it was a ukrainian battery launching lots of contradictory versions that seemingly did little to bring any clarity to this case and this is really a question of political will now right now barbara i want to give you the last word if i may this this now mean that the investigation into the downing of m.h. 17 is done. no the investigation will carry on lot of because the investigators say we're not done yet however the question is what can they chief they might be able to and they have names have been floating around for

a considerable time to name the people who have been many in this rocket launch of this particular book aircraft miss a who was operating on that day that is one part but the other part of course is looking at the higher. russian military and particularly as nic mentioned of course the military secret service and how much knowledge how much insight does the west have and how far is willing to go that is completely up in the air in the end quite doubtful of a cell in brussels and nic connelly in kiev reporting i think you both. next up you want to experts saudi crown prince mohammed bin someone should be investigated over the killing of journalists. her report cites what she calls credible evidence that been some on and other senior saudi officials are liable for his death because she was a vocal critic of the saudi regime he was murdered at the country's istanbul

consulate last year. the saudi journalist jamal as he arrives at the saudi consulate in istanbul. minutes later the washington post columnist would be murdered inside the building by saudi agents now are you an expert says his enemies at the very top of the government and to blame in seclusion of mr casualty was the responsibility of the state of saudi arabia shortly after the shock she entered the embassy these 2 men left one of them was dressed to look like the journalist complete with a fake beard. this picture shows the 2 suspects in the background apparently disposing of evidence. members of the hit squad then left the country on this private plane but despite the cover up the u.n. believes it knows who the brains behind the operation were. what i do i have even

suggesting that the response said bts of high level officials may be engaged and therefore ease requiring further investigation into to kill the clue prince mohammed bin soundman is literally the power behind the throne in the desert kingdom shock she was a vehement critic of m.b.'s as he's known the report cites unverified late conversations in which been someone is accused of saying he'd like to use a bullet on to shock she. weeks after the journalist's death saudi prosecutors charged 11 men with his killing. but the u.n. report finds that out as a still free its expert says sanctions should be implemented against those who are behind this crime including possibly the crown prince if he's are looking for a step for me to be asking for he needs to be included in the sanctions until and unless there is evidence provided that he was not involved jamal because shock

she was 59 years old he survived by his wife and 4 children he's we don't just says welcome the report and she's joined calls for the world's top powers to take responsibility and ensure that justice is done let's go now to our is simple correspondent or here in jones who is covering this story for us dorian the saudis maintain that this was a rendition that has gone horribly wrong but the special report tour is unequivocal in our findings she has concluded that the killing was premeditated what can you tell us about the evidence that was used for this report. well this report relied heavily on taken by turkish intelligence from inside the saudi consulate in istanbul they took. over the last 15 minutes of. his life and had recordings of the conversations taken before he writes where

people inside the building to sky about disposing of the body saying it would be very heavy but another voice is recorded saying we can solve this by despair dismembering the body and very graphic details about how they will go about that they report then also the last minutes of the staff where they said the coding to the right. he appeared to be given some sedative and as he's life drifted away there was no effort to revive him this again contradicts riyadh's version of events who said that it was a dispute a fight that got out of hand and he was killed accidentally they say that the recordings that they've received point to the opposite they say this was a premeditated murder that they point the finger directly at the crown prince mohammed bin and that is probably linked to intelligence possibly the cia who at the time said that intercept they believe that the pound prince was involved so this is a very damning report and it doesn't pull his punches pointing the finger clearly

at riyadh and saying this was a premeditated murder it is a very damning report have we heard from saudi arabia. absolutely the the saudi foreign minister. in a tweet said that the this was nothing new they cost out on the impartiality of the and they also said that this was an infringement on their own judicial process you have to remember a number of people are on trial accused of the murder one of the reports of recommendations was that that trial should be suspended for an international investigation riyadh dismisses out of hand and i think riyadh will be welcomed by the fact that it's been very little international reaction from its allies in particular the united states and most of the european countries as well but there has been reaction of course from ankara because president to aerate awad has already responded do you think he is going to take a leadership role in this case well i certainly certainly will he said that all

those responsible will be held to account the turkish foreign minister met each other surely in a tweet said that this vindicated turkey stance and they will looking for the international community to bring those responsible to justice and i think this will feed into the ongoing tensions between riyadh their relations are rock bottom this will possibly feed into further tensions that could play out in the region but i think we're also aware that they'll be little international backing for their stance and it's unlikely that any of those who respond behind his kushal g.'s murder particularly possibly crown prince bin salman himself will be held to account in any way correspondent reporting thank you. funny so now about some of the other stories making news around the world. former foreign secretary boris johnson has increased his lead in the race to become britain's next prime minister a more moderate rivalry steward was eliminated from the contest the ruling conservative party will elect a new party leader in a postal vote the winner will take over as prime minister next month. a kenyan

court has found 3 suspects guilty for their role in a massacre at greece a university in the country's north east the men were also found guilty of belonging to the al-shabaab islamist terror group only 180 people were killed in the 2015 a tax increase on. the gun lately used by dutch painter vincent to kill himself as fetched 130000 euros at auction the weapon was sold in paris to an unnamed buyer the winning bid was nearly 3 times the expected price is widely believed to have committed suicide $890.00. the federal reserve has left the key lending rate unchanged in the 2.25 to 2.5 percent range but some fed officials apparently expect a rate cut by the end of the year the decision comes amid growing concerns over

fragile growth weak inflation and the consequences of international trade tensions on just a day ago similar preoccupations prompted the european central bank to signal it could be ready to introduce fresh stimulus measures to boost the eurozone economy. and our financial correspondent yes court is on a wall street get to see as the fed holds rates steady was that to be expected. it was expected to end the road seems to be clear for a rate cut to possibly already end of july even if monetary policy is not on autopilot yet there has been an unprecedented pressure from the u.s. administration especially from u.s. president to donald trump to cut interest rates and the same is true for the stock market for about 2 and a half weeks wall street is expecting a rate cut soon and if we do not get this rate cut soon then we might probably see

a pretty harsh reaction over here there was a big debate going on if a rate cut is even necessary but as off now expectations have increased that maybe already by end of july we might see the 1st rate cut in many years yes question reporting a friend in the new york trading floor thank you. now new figures from the un refugee agency show a record 71000000 people around the world are now displaced by war or persecution or most of the refugees are from syria but conflicts and afghanistan south sudan ian maher and somalia have also forced millions to leave their homes so where they all go in turkey tops the list of host countries followed by pakistan and uganda which has some of the most generous refugee policies in the world. seems i seem stitched by stage it is phony as making a new dress she recently trained as a seamstress as part of

a un 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 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. functions differently people aren't simply confined to a camp liking kenya refugees who were arriving here are immediately given a work permit in thailand which is provided by the communities and then you neighbors they also receive monthly benefits we have cash on foot as well because when we give them food get that is restricted to the food that we've given them but then to give them cash we have the option to buy and supplement what effect that 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 or schools but of course there are still challenges. as a youngest school we have enormous challenges one of it easy infrastructure like the classrooms are not and now we don't house saying celebratory we don't have labor ready though we have the books but we have nowhere to put to them then also the teachers move from fire these things to come here so there are no stuff does then also the students especially the girl tail move from 5 distance to come and run in the school. no budget room a 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 to 50 years ago many are 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 some an interview was meant as so many people have been employed not now not in a city for disability but it was well underway tuck's when you look at the infrastructure before we have constructed access what's in that if it is a tremendous well constructed discourse or structed it says it does but there are also negative aspects rizzo's is like would supplies on to in drilling 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 hope that refugees will become self-sufficient like seamstress aegis phony. and earlier today when you spoke with the un's high commissioner for refugees for the program the he says greater international cooperation is needed to tackle the root causes of displacement. i think if i me were not to feel belief. i have 16000 colleagues most of whom are in very far away far away from here field locations working day in day out to bring relief to bring safety to the millions of people that are fleeing conflict together with many other partners their work continues to be relevant and important what frustrates me is of course this environment this toxic environment that stigmatizes.

criticizes portrays refugees migrants sometimes even foreigners as the enemy this is like i said easy to to to to spread it's a line that many people embrace because they have a pretentious and fears but it is not a good line. next up a grocer dortmund have resigned for work club captain who knows a firm byron munich for a fee of $38000000.00 euros one hummels left to dortmund to join their fears rivals in 2016 and went on to win 3 straight bonus league titles with munich the 2014 world cup winner made it 225 league appearances in his 1st stint at dortmund winning 2 league titles between 20102012. meanwhile space national football team coach luis 80 k. has stepped down after less than a year on the job he cited ongoing personal reasons for the decision that we city

and says it once it's down my guest this week here in the hague is true a couple of sujit who is the president's club the i.c.c. something he defended organizations against such powerful position conflicts so far . off the phone. every journey begins with the 1st step and every language the 1st word american could niko peace in germany touch. us why not go in with him. to suffer in simple long line on your mobile and free. d.w.b. learning course because free german may be easy.

thank you but then i guess sometimes i. think winter that. i think steve winter jam a culture of looking at stereotyped cracks in years think the future of the country but i don't. mean to be taken as grama. it's all about. join me to meet the gem you. post. i think that's actually more questions you should be prosecuting for the 2 you seem remarkably complacent about the fact that the most powerful country on the you sent it wants you dead what do you think is complacency the international criminal court set up to charge the worst crimes on the planet as a new enemy in washington the trumpet ministration was accused of having no legitimacy and says it wants to die my guess this week here in the hague is
