cheerful reactions at the international olympic committee in switzerland and in the streets of milan. to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin tonight here in germany where a pilot was killed today when 2 fighter jets crashed in the north of the country the 2 unarmed your fighter planes part of the german air force collided in midair during a training exercise over the state of mecklenburg western pomerania the 2nd pilot did survive. a state of the art work plain tumbly from this guy. residents of the town of my show recorded the scenes. soon after

plumes of smoke could be seen rising from the ground in a nearby lake district the wreckage of 2 you're a fighter combat jets was littered throughout the area after the planes collided and crashed both pilots ejected from their aircraft one was found alive with his parachute in tangled in a tree. he was rescued and rushed to hospital. the other was later confirmed dead parts of his body were found close to the crash site of his aircraft. germany's defense minister flew in from berlin to offer condolences. to his insides these moments of torah and shock and speechlessness and of course they raise many many questions even. questions about the euro fighter nothing new jointly developed by european

consortium the fighter has been in service with the german air force since 2003 the aircraft has been plagued by technical problems these and the military's chronic funding constraints have meant that only a fraction of the fighters are combat ready the deadly crash will wreak night the simmering debate over germany's ailing armed forces. and we want to go live now to our correspondent on your call she is in the german state of mecklenburg western pomerania that is north of for lynn what's the situation where you are right now. well as you might be able to see and tell behind me you're in the fields that's the place where the police at the moment are looking for the wreckage of the 2 euro fighter jets now it's a task that's potentially potentially dangerous because some parts of the warplanes have already cost fires out. in the show for it so that's why the crash site the

actual crash site is completely cordoned off now the village who i met at the moment it's a very small village only several 100 people live here and the whole region is actually very sparsely populated but at the same time a tourist magnet a place where a lot of people like to spend their summer vacation and we have to keep in mind that in some parts of germany school of the cation has already started i just walked around the village of the earlier and found a hotel that is already completely booked so people here are shocked and also a bit scared but at the same time relief that no civilians were hurt you know very much were heard unfortunately though one of the pilots did die what about the other pilot do we know what condition he is in tonight. we don't have very much information about that because the police are very careful about sharing information on his health condition what police have told me though is that he is

all right given the circumstances we understand that he was able to use his ejector reseed and was able to use his parachute and then apparently landed on top of a treat that's where the police found him and when they were close of the tree looking for him he was apparently able to let them know where he was so that unique case that he must have been conscious. and do we have any idea or any information on what may have called this crash. yet again we don't have much information because again the police very careful on sharing that information we do know that 3 pilots were on a training mission training mission that's something that happens regularly here in the region because there's a military airbase just a few kilometers away from here and the 3rd pilot is parent lee you know watched

the incident the 2 planes colliding and informed all story and we will probably have to wait to we know the cause of the collision until the police have found more parts off the wall planes and also the surviving pilot the one who's in the hospital might be able to contribute one season better health conditions all right a correspondent on your calls there with the latest on the collision and crash of those 2 year old fighter jet planes today and you think you were telling us president donald trump has spawned an executive order for hard hitting sanctions against iran's supreme leader and the country's top diplomat saying that the same shoes are in part a response to iran's development of a u.s. drone last week but say also has added that his administration had been planning to impose the sanctions well before that. in front of the assembled press

president trump signed an executive order imposing new sanctions against iran the order is meant to limit access to financial resources for run supreme leader ayatollah khamenei and his associates. we will continue to increase pressure on terror. until the regime abandons its dangerous activities and his aspirations including the pursuit of nuclear weapons increased enrichment of uranium development a ballistic missiles engagement and support for terrorism fueling of foreign conflicts and belligerent acts to record against the united states and its allies. the reason given for the additional sanctions by u.s. drone shot down by iran tehran says the rationale was fabricated the u.s. government also accuses iranian revolutionary guards of attacking merchant ships in the strait of hormuz according to the u.s. more than 80 percent of the iranian economy is already affected by sanctions the trumpet ministration wants to force the leadership in tehran to agree to

a new nuclear agreement with tougher conditions also reiterated an offer for new negotiations he claims iran could become a peaceful and prosperous country if it were to abandon its pursuit of nuclear weapons. well here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world at least one person is dead dozens more injured after a series of explosions tore through munitions depo in southern cal thanks don officials have evacuated a nearby town in the country's turkistan region because it sounds defense ministry says a fire of unclear origin triggered the blast rescuers in cambodia have pulled 2 people alive from the ruins of a building that collapsed on saturday and official described them as being in serious condition at least 28 people died in the incidents which happened on a construction site that also housed as the war. police in belgium say they've arrested a man suspected of planning a terror attack on the u.s. embassy in brussels prosecutors say that he was taken into custody on saturday

after evidence emerged suggesting that an attack on the embassy could be imminent the suspect has reportedly denied the allegations. we're now into afghanistan where the united nations says nearly 4000 civilians were killed last year the deadliest year yet for civilians since the war in the country began almost 2 decades ago land mines and unexploded mortars left lying on the ground are causing many casualties especially among children who come into contact with the explosives while playing tonight we meet a family that was devastated by this by an explosion exactly one year ago. no child should be here. 10 children from the same family were on their way to school when they spotted a bomb on the ground a common sight in afghanistan. the device

went off 3 children were killed. 7 survived but they lost at least one limb each. more than a year later they are struggling to adapt. the bloody demo of the day when the blast took place it was a bad day. but if i don't i thought. i saw my brothers and sisters soaked in blood lying on the ground them up a good water because my entire family was destroyed that i. don't know to well. the children are tutored at home but sometimes they have to go to school for exams it's not an easy journey. lister's form where the artificial limbs rub their skin a painful reminder of their new reality. might make you when the

explosion took place i tried to stand up and go home but when i tried to walk i noticed that i didn't have my leg i know. this was a year ago after the blast the changed everything their story the reminder of the war that still rages on even though the taliban are in negotiations with the us for some sort of peace settlement a resolution seems far off the decades of conflict have left the nation strewn with landmines and other deadly munitions. the u.n. says more than 900 children were killed in 2016. another 7000 were wounded. but if peace comes will be very happy they'll be no problems and everyone will be. doing their business without any tension even if we have a disability at least we'll have security and peace every day there's no i'm still charging and it's my dad life terrible but. the afghan government and the taliban

must sit together and agree on piece of the children do not get killed ok disabled in this war. and though her childhood was taken away robbia hopes that other children and afghanistan can still enjoy somewhat of a normal life. when you're watching t w news still to come the gets the party protests it is stamboul 6 years ago some of the demonstrators are now on trial with the prosecution demanding that they serve long prison sentences and you're preparing for a heat wave in paris authorities have issued an alert as hot winds from the so hard send the thermometer soaring we know about that in berlin as well. well it was exactly one year ago that women in saudi arabia gained the right to drive you may

remember that they could face prison time if they got behind the car behind the wheel of a car without permission the decision to lift the decades long ban is part of crown prince mohammed bin salmond's reform program which opens up some aspects of saudi public life to women but rights groups say much more needs to be done including addressing the strict dress codes that are still in place. all right so yeah it's been a year how we do it the talk about that joining me here the big table is or get 5 times she is a scholar at the institute of islamic studies here in berlin she is focused a lot of her research on saudi arabia is going to have you back on the show so women have been driving for a year in saudi arabia have they been taking advantage of this new bright well some have i mean yes. remember mitt most women don't have drive and driving licenses and there are only very few schools for women so it will take a while until significant numbers of women in the same school as men be separate

they have separate schools the men are trained on the straights the women in separate schools ok so we don't know this new law it came through as part of a package of reforms by the crown prince is trying to push saudi arabia into i guess a different future that is not reliant on fossil fuels i mean we've seen noticeable changes yet well there are noticeable changes in the public life in saudi arabia in terms of women being now present in sales rooms selling working much a much more public in public spaces in cafes and restaurants but we shouldn't forget that this is really a particular class of women that this is not all women and these reforms really sort of appeal to the upper middle class and to the upper class the concept expensive for normal people to go to. much public entertainment is again

quite expensive and we shouldn't forget this is a conservative society so that actually also quite a few people opposed to these changes to these changes and the changes that have taken place they seem to be window dressing i mean talk to me a little bit about the way that the rights of women are still being abused. well they're window dressing in the sense that women still don't have the same rights this infamous goggins law which means that women conduct pain possible it's travel study abroad. get married etc without the approval of the guardians they're not window dressing and as far as women stressing different professions is concerned there are many more women working in many more different professions this opening had started on the king abdullah but much more slowly and there really has been a major change and do people since it i mean if we were walking down the street in

riyadh in talking to locals there would we notice a difference yes we would see the difference people would be talking differently but then people also those people who are not agree with the changes wouldn't be voicing their concerns it's a good point if i could always we appreciate you coming in and sharing your insights thank you very much in turkey opposition supporters are celebrating their winning is temple's rerun may orel elections the result in the country's biggest city is a personal blow for the president richard pryor baird of one you may remember that he used to be the mayor of istanbul where the day of trial also began a trial of 16 people accused of trying to overthrow turkey's government by organizing protests 6 years ago the so-called gezi demonstrations they started as a protest against the redevelopment of a park in is tim ball

a city that has limited green space but they quickly spread across the country to something much bigger. large crowds formed outside the courthouse in istanbul hundreds gathered to follow the so-called gazey trial including about 100 lawyers and opposition m.p.'s who consider the trial a fosse nonchalance the government wants to send a message with this trial to whoever is against us and takes to the streets we're waiting for you. in 2013 a protest against the development of the guese park in the center of istanbul soon snowballed into a nationwide protest against the add on government they were brutally put to a stop now 16 people are on trial including businessman and philanthropist. he has been detained since november 27th teen accused of financing the protests and attempting to overthrow the government. the prosecution's evidence is largely based on tweets and wiretapped phone calls numerous foreign observers of there to monitor

the trial. yet. trying to criminalize this very positive movement and claim that it was preparation for a coup d'etat. starts this is so exact up it's reminiscent of the story the trial of. the trial is officially scheduled to last 2 days with the prosecution demanding life imprisonment. by sports news now alpine skiing is set to return to the says an olympic event in the not too distant future after the international olympic committee today announced the italian venue of milan and cortina that would host the world or the winter games i should say in the year 2026 the italian bit got the nod ahead of sweeney who had for pows their capital stockholm as the main olympic venue 47 votes to 34 in favor of milan that was the final verdict after a long day at the i.o.c.

in luzon. sweden's bid got underway 1st delegation including prime minister stephan levin were 1st to present their case to the i.o.c. . stockholm's joint bid with the recent venue of the alpine skiing world championships focused on sustainability promising to deliver a simple and smart games on the smallest budget for more than 30 years. next up the italian delegation led by prime minister just picante had their opportunity to impress the i.o.c. decision makers alongside $956.00 host town called tina there and so that heritage at the front of its offering highlighting its success as a host nation previously and vowing to build on that tradition it transpired to be a winning pitch. i know i will she 7 votes the

30 it's really was chosen as the host nation 5 3rd time in its history they now have 7 years to deliver on their promise. all right and talk things olympics i'm joined here at the big table now by cambridge from our v.w. sports desk so let's let's talk about this 1st of all we've got a narrower outcome that had been widely predicted which it wasn't in the end i mean what was the long one by 47 votes to 34 as a big surprise ers and not well i actually think it probably isn't i mean the land had emerged as the front runner and last month lin picked panel evaluation so a lot of people expecting the land so to win this maybe not by such a huge margin but you can't deny they put together a very good bid 1st and foremost they prove that they have the infrastructure already in place to host these games they also showed that they could do it on a budget. 5 years ago the games in sochi cost $51000000000.00 to put on and a lot of nations were put off opposing bids for future winter olympics games and

they were only to this time but milan showed that they could do it on a reasonable budget they already have many stadiums in place such as the san siro ac milan play football they proposed to have the opening ceremony there as opposed to building a brand new sparkly very expensive stadium so they impress the i.o.c. and they've got me the proposed budget always looks good but they always go over budget right with every olympics one that has nominated. as a co-hosting venue as a ski resort they already host what was the 56 olympics is that sort of tradition likely to help the italian bid for the i.o.c. had said from the outset that they were looking forward to bringing the winter olympics back to europe after what will be 2 back to back asian games and we're better to have it than a nation which as recently as 2006 hosted a winter olympic games when you're in had that on a as you just. called sr $956.00 actually host the games wants the full ready set of some real pedigree and tradition there like you say and it's

a lovely lines of say the winter olympics the alpine skiing events a coming back to the outs which is a lovely thing to say and i think it's really we're just earmarked as a safe pair of hands from the start now when it comes to national support i also think that played a huge role because the i.o.c. were they were very interested in ensuring that the local residents were in favor of having these games quite often it's seen as a little bit of a nuisance when the rains winter olympics olympics are hosted in and it's how much the local residents but 83 percent of people from milan said that once it as opposed to just $55.00 from the rival played in stockholm so i think that tipped to things and i mean it is let's talk about the losers here is we mean. what do they not do right though i mean can you believe that sweden have never hosted a winter olympics games it seems old like they're one of those countries you automatically associate with regular bigs but they never have despite the fact that they've been in the top 10 all time most successful nations at the wins would have pics but i think they just fell short when it when it came up to the nitty gritty

things that the budget wasn't quite there they didn't already have the infrastructure in place but i'm sure and i hope that they'll get that sense of the day all right and the cambridge need to be a sports thank you thank you or let's go to the women's world cup now we're defending champions usa or the latest team to reach the quarter finals a narrow nervy 21 win against spain so all the u.s. team the tournaments big favorites through to the next room. the usa would cheat on in homes by their legion of fans and it wasn't long before they had something to celebrate in the 5th minute tobin heath charged into the box and was felled by might be lay on the penalty was given and megan rapinoe lashed it home i never thing was going as expected that spain hadn't read the script went back east albert was caught in possession of mo so fired a crack into the top corner. of breath taking strike from spain's key player they kept the u.s.

at bay for the next hour but then dissolves destruct the referee awarded another penalty when did he nieto to see a coat rise lavelle contact seemed minimal but even after a v.a.r. check she stuck by her decision retain a grip the gift with both hands was not to spain but the usa much on to set up a quarter final with hosts france was it's a good time to have air conditioners at work to tell you why french authorities they have issued an alert for the region around paris ahead of a high wave expected across europe this week a heat wave rather residents and tourists are coping in their own way but health officials warn everyone should take certain precautions if they go out in the afternoon somers. i tried out her. way. to shoot.

here she says. she. now i think that weather is much harder than what i expect because i felt in europe the weather may be nicer than this is too hot for me actually it's really unpleasant but we're used to it unlike other people so we are not preparing specifically but you have to make sure you stay hydrated. and hot winds from the sahara a turning up temperatures across europe and france authorities are warning people about the intense heat. you put is all full also fitfully felt should drink limit physical activity or even keep the body wet or to cover them while protect them from the sun with hats is all sunglasses and long sleeve shirts yes. do not leave them in the car even for a very short time which. it's important to remember this the.

heat wave in france in 2003 is thought to have killed 15000 people this time the country is better prepared. other european countries are issuing warnings as well germany is expecting record breaking high on wednesday and children at risk. and it's also older people with preexisting health problems with their kidneys problems with hydration problems with their hearts when there's a heat wave and they don't drink enough they get even bigger problems the more they can also get dizzy and fall. through drink drink drink you can. internally or externally it's the against europe's coming heat.

the dog days of summer are remind of the top stories that we're following for you u.s. president has signed an executive order slapping sanctions against iran's supreme leader and against the country's top diplomat. also. fighters have collided in northern germany the pilots were able to eject but only one survivor of the jets belonged. to take you through the day stick around for that.
