this is g w news live from berlin tonight an israeli palestinian peace plan the trumpet ministration calls it the deal of the century the palestinians say it's divorced from reality the president's son in law and senior advisor presented his proposal today in bahrain it calls for investments of $50000000000.00 but will it be a peace dividend also coming up the long shadow of thailand's military home to it could the thai government be harassing and killing exiled dissidents abroad here's the

story of a group of time musicians in laos who fear for their long plus europe getting ready for record breaking temperatures as an extreme heat wave goltz the continent and at the women's world cup it's the last round of 16 matches will bring you highlights of italy's win as the underdogs. to their place in the quarter fought. off it's good to have you with us we begin with a peace plan that the trumpet ministration says is the deal of the century the u.s. today launched a bid to drum up $50000000000.00 to invest in palestinian economic develop a 2 day interim national conference in bahrain led by jared u.s. president donald trump's son in law and senior advisor. has been billed as
9:02 pm
a part of a wider white house initiative to resolve the israeli palestinian conflict but leaders they have already rejected the plan calling it an attempt to further exploit down palestinian lives built on neither the israelis nor the palestinian governments attended today here's jared cushion or explaining his vision of the goal of this workshop is to begin thinking about these challenges in a new way let's try to view this conflict and the potential of the entire region through a different lens and work together to develop a concrete plan to try and achieve it for a moment imagine a new reality in the middle east imagine a bustling commercial and tourist center and gaza and the west bank where international businesses come together and thrive imagine the west bank as a blossoming economy full of entrepreneurs engineers scientists and business leaders imagine people and goods flowing quickly and securely throughout the region as economics become more integrated and people become more prosperous there was
9:03 pm
jury because now they're speaking earlier today let's take the story now to our correspondent in washington d.c. oliver salad you need to you. we know right from the start there's little support for the cushion or plan does the united states actually believe that this plan can work. well the idea behind this plan is obviously they're trying 3 to silence the palestinians with lots of money here so the palestinians have been hoping for a 2 state solutions for decades that has always been at the foundation really of any middle east peace plans and the proposal put forward here today by jared cushion or comes as a radical change the 3 2 state solution the term is not mentioned in this proposal . instead focusing focus on economic development on creating a certain level of wealth in the occupied areas in the palestinian areas.
9:04 pm
basically focusing on the assumption that there is a lot of poverty also especially in areas like gaza where you have an unemployment rate higher than 50 percent so the idea is to invest $50000000000.00 u.s. dollars create a 1000000 of new jobs within the next 10 years so that all sounds very reasonable but it's not even clear who is going to pay for this at this point we don't know who's going to pay and are people even willing to pay i mean there at the moment we don't know who is willing to put up their own money for this to. that's right and especially here to sell this to the american voters would be a quiet challenge to say the least the least the u.s. president is struggling to get funding together for his own projects here 3 just look at the southern wall with mexico for instance that has been one of the core
9:05 pm
promises of his election come pain to build a wall he always used that claim and he will have mexico pay for it so neither of that has happened so far he has also called on his international partners to raise their national defense spending and budgets in order to redistribute this tribute to the funding of nato more equally among the nato members so non of this is really working out and spending $50000000000.00 for a middle east peace plan will be simply difficult to sell to american voters ahead of the 2020 election campaign but it's a simple idea it's in line with donald trump who likes to think that you can buy almost anything why does the white house think that an economic rather than a political solution is the way forward well 1st of all because it's the assumption that the poverty in this region and by solving this by creating new jobs by creating wealth you would basically have the
9:06 pm
opportunity perhaps to a person who weighed palestinians to see this as a price tag for them to give up on the 2 state solution but they are of course are fighting back because the 2 state solution is something that is for the palestinians something that isn't on negotiate a bolt and that comes as a very big challenge especially since they were not included in these in these talks and this is another aspect that they call on and that creates a lot of frustration on the palestinian side tells didion's and that was really is their day. in washington on the story tonight all over thank you. here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world iranian and u.s. leaders traded insults on tuesday with the radio president hassan rouhani saying that u.s. president on will trump is mentally challenged trump in turn threatened to obliteration if iran attacked quote anything american last week iran shot down a u.s.

drone it's also suspected of sabotaging oil tankers near its coast he was president has named stephanie grisham as his new press secretary grisham was the spokeswoman for his wife maloney if she will replace sarah huckabee sanders who has had a contentious relationship with the media and stop the decades long tradition of daily press briefings spanish authorities have evacuated homes and closed roads around the petro chemical plant fire the blaze broke out near gibraltar in the southern part of the country no injuries have been reported but officials have recommended that people nearby despite the heat keep windows closed and stay inside here in germany prosecutors have brought charges against 8 members of a suspected extreme right wing terror group called it revolution the 8 are accused of forming in the legal operation in the planning deadly attacks and according to german media reports the alleged terrorists hoped to make the attacks look as
9:08 pm
though they had been carried out by the extreme left. christian kay the alleged ringleader of the revolution cam that's protest movement he and 7 others stand accused of planning violent attacks in berlin on german unification day last year. they allegedly planned the details through an encrypted online chat the group is also accused of raising funds and making a list of weapons they plan to acquire but when their homes were searched no weapons were found. according to media reports members admitted to interrogators that they planned to do more than fire warning shots they were planning to murder. german authorities warn that extreme right wing groups are gaining new momentum. the sins of the attacks are very simplistic there's no complex planning behind what's happening you know a long term concept they often just shoot from the hip. the group took its name
9:09 pm
from last year's demonstrations encampments after a deadly knife attack involving immigrants right wing extremists rioted and the police partially lost control of the situation and. seized the anarch is a correspondent almost sparrow. how dangerous was this group. this was a group that was described as a potential far right taro guys asian as we saw in a reporter there they organized themselves to try and plan and carry out attacks one of them here in berlin so authorities did believe that they were dangerous enough for them to be arrested and charged so from that perspective you can see that there was a certain danger but it's important to put this into context into perspective because when you talk of potentially violent far right extremists these are only one small group in fact german authorities have understand that there are around
9:10 pm
12700 potentially violent far right extremists that's about half of the number of the total of far right extremists that have been identified by german authorities that is around $24000.00 so that just gives you an idea brant of what this particular group means but again authorities believe that they were dangerous enough for the members to be arrested and charged and it comes to almost at a time when the german federal office for the protection of the constitution is saying that there is a new momentum behind right wing violence what exactly does that mean. that comes as you say from germany's domestic intelligence agency and what they have been identifying the series of elements that they believe contribute to this new momentum namely the networks formed by different people in this. movement the fact that they can organize themselves over also online the fact that they use and contribute to a fake news
9:11 pm
a fake propaganda on the fact that in some cases that can even lead to violence on the streets and that's why german authorities have been saying that they would like to have more powers to monitor these potentially violent far right extremists that's also why they have been called from different politicians here in berlin for state authorities and federal authorities to call parade better in order to understand the real threat behind these people and it comes at a time when there is a criminal investigation into the death of conservatives c.d.u. politician vulture luke he was murdered on june 2nd here in germany in the appears to have been shot by a right wing extremists are there any parallels here investigations are obviously still underway in the case of a look at authorities have described this as being a right wing extremist attack in a nature although again investigations are still on the way but why this particular case did was it reignited or it strengthened debate here in germany regarding how
9:12 pm
authorities have dealt with far right extremists in the past they have been plenty of voices criticizing german authorities for turning a blind eye or for underestimating the threat posed by far right extremists and what this particular case can also do is increase again that debate in germany that's at least a parallel that i can see between these 2 cases namely that wreak recommission of a debate in germany surrounding the way authorities deal with extremism in the country or the political correspondent on the square on the story for us tonight here in berlin thomas thank you. staying here in germany and best against him there under way into the midair collision of 2 military jets in the north of the country yesterday one pilot was killed the euro fighters co i did during a training exercise over the state of mecklenburg western pomerania police and 300 military personnel are scouring the sites where the 2 fighters came down.
9:13 pm
a state of the are all playing tumbling from the sky residents of the town of recorded these scenes. soon after plumes of smoke was seen rising from the ground in a nearby lake district. the wreckage of the 2 euro fighter combat jets was littered throughout the area but there were no casualties on the ground both pilots ejected from the aircraft one was found alive with his parachute in tangled in a tree. he was rescued and taken to a hospital. the other was later confirmed dead officials say a 3rd pilot witnessed the crash from the air. germany's defense minister flew in from berlin to offer her condolences. so. this is it since this is these a moments of hora and shock and speechlessness and of course they raised many many
9:14 pm
questions including. the german armed forces have down taken over the investigation to deliver answers to those questions jointly developed by a european consortium the euro fighter has been in service with the german air force since 2003. the aircraft has been plagued by technical problems these unfunny constraints have meant that only a fraction of the fight has already for action. a video showing mexican national guard troops chasing and cantering migrants on the border with the united states is causing an outcry among mexicans the country is under pressure from washington to stem the flow of migrants traveling through to the u.s. border where now president andres manuel lopez obrador has said that he gave no order to detain migrants trying to cross illegally into the u.s. . creasing north from the city of juarez but stopped just short of the border. these are the images fueling outrage in mexico national guard troops detaining
9:15 pm
migrants bound for the u.s. . and mexican president now says the troops did not have orders to do so and may have abused their authority. is. only used those classes if these incidents occurred noises the army did not happen struction to act in such a way any noise is it's not their task. level this is a job that belongs to the migration agents not the army i was a hint as any good as you know i live just. the controversy comes as washington piles pressure on its southern neighbor to crack down on migrants travelling north to the u.s. facing the threat of u.s. tariffs mexico has been forced to deploy over $20000.00 troops on its northern and southern borders to help reduce the flow of margaret's. the u.s.
9:16 pm
is also planning to send more asylum seekers back to mexico to wait while their claims are processed. you know and i found though the u.s. is returning $200.00 migrants a day to quotas and the plan is that in the future it will be $500.00 migrants per day. we really don't have the capacity even with a national guard to attend to them. in the dawn of them. but i've been there on the other side of the border u.s. immigration authorities are overwhelmed at this texas facility hundreds of migrant children were moved to shelters after it emerged they lacked adequate food water and sanitation with thousands of migrants still crossing into the u.s. every day poor conditions could become even worse. on new year's eve last year police pulled out 2 bodies from the mekong river on the thai border they
9:17 pm
had been gutted and stuffed with concrete the idea was to make the bodies sink and make the crime disappear but both were identified and they were friends of tiny dissident circle i'd done what anonymous sort the anti-monarchy activists and military opponent has himself been missing from wells since last december these are just a few in a series of disappearances and deaths in southeast asia the targets exiled opponents of the time military and monarchy human rights watch says that threats are at a new high. one of the on the receiving end is the protest you see right there so you know they're living in the wells and they are worried they are next on the hit list. it looks and sounds like a happy sing along but the members of fiat are far from relaxed the band fled to
9:18 pm
laos out of fear that be arrested for publishing songs that criticize thailand's cheap pillars of power the monarchy and the military. here financing a jammy mocks the military for arresting street vendors who sold red buckets a color deemed anti establishment the ban believes videos like this one have put a target on their back. and. we have to live from day to day. just focusing on how we will survive on how we will live today 1. 1 stays over one then we have to think about surviving the next day. about how to be safe and how to not get abducted. by. when the military seize power in 2014 it did so with a vow to crackdown on anti royalists activists claim this crackdown doesn't stop at
9:19 pm
thailand's borders and they're worried it's taken a dark turn 6 exiles living in laos are said to have disappeared under suspicious circumstances in the last 6 months in december the mutilated bodies of 2 anti government activists washed up on the banks of the mekong river. tire storage fees have denied playing a role in the disappearances and deaths but yami and bandmates are convinced that someone is seeking extrajudicial the tribulation. from home long equally tough how can you ask the syud he shouldn't punish those who think differently by killing them should be able to choose what kind of society we want to live in what kind of society we want to be according to each of our own ideals we don't have because when we got that back. in a statement to d.w. fire and said they would continue to fight for freedom of expression and thailand
9:20 pm
even if it means living in fear. well to me and more now we're in internet shutdown has plunged more than a 1000000 people in conflict ridden rockline state in an information blackmail once groups mourn the shutdown which was ordered by the government could be a cover up for gross human rights violations already hundreds of thousands have fled the area amid a brutal crackdown by the army for as whitey joins me now for more about this alex why in the world why has this drastic move in undertaken by me in mars' government well the blackout began on friday without warning when the government ordered for telecommunications companies to stop all access to the internet in 9 areas in these 2 states and chin and that was because of more fighting between the military
9:21 pm
overseas by the government and insurgents the so-called arab hand army and they want sickle autonomy for the rock. now is estimated that already of around about 30000 people have been displaced in the last year and this is the same area where almost 3 quarters of a 1000000 wreckin jim with limbs were displaced by the military 2 years ago so it shows that this is happened before the government is saying that the internet shut down is in line with a telecommunications nor they say services can be suspended when an emergency situation arises and not is how they are describing this violence as an emergency and what's been the reaction to the black oh well across the board there's been condemnation but in particular from the u.n. with the special expert to me and my yang he leaves saying i fear for all civilians there cut off from without the necessary means to communicate with people
9:22 pm
inside and outside the area and she's of concern that this blackout could be cover for more human rights violence on monday more than 20 civil. and dates organizations based in the country also called on the government to get rid of this blackout may also said you've got to change your own you know because it's not in line with the u.s. with the u.n. security council resolution that includes uninterrupted internet access i mean this is owns the whole marks of regimes we've seen in sudan recently trying to oppress people keep them cut off is there any indication of what it will take them to get the government to turn the internet back on well the government has said that they will turn it back on once peace has been restored to the region but you know what does that mean if you decide it's been peace has been restored it looks like this is the government saying we need to crush these insurgents once that's happened yes we'll turn it back on so obviously there will be more pressure from outside the
9:23 pm
country but whether that's really going to make a difference we have to wait to see internet access as a weapon you would have thought hard i would force one of thank you. all right it's going to be hot governments across europe are warning people to take precautions as a record heat wave moves across the gauntlet at berlin zoo elephants got a refreshing shower as temperatures were expected to hit or even exceed 40 degrees in some places elsewhere in the german capital people are seeking shelter from the heat and public fountains and by making their own shea. going to need bigger umbrellas i think now there's little relief in sight with temperatures expected to stay high for the rest of this week. keeping cool in most every way possible people and animals across continental europe but feeling the heat of unusually high temperature is.
9:24 pm
just drinking tried to make to it for us to slowly. drink drink drink a lot. and that's what this hot sun we try and keep to the cooler places. follow the course at all but i thought to have been out looking at rome from 8 o'clock this morning but from midday on we're eating ice cream it's very good weather. meteorologists say the soaring temperatures it used to hausherr blowing in from north africa but many also call this heat wave unprecedented. in front so authorities are taking extra precautions to cast the most vulnerable. the country is still scarred by the intense heat wave of 2003 in which almost 15000 people died. in the.
9:25 pm
new space isn't stan mongering these heatwaves going to keep happening as we know and perhaps they'll get worse in the years and decades to come because. of climate change i'm asking everyone to take responsibility for themselves their family and their neighbors and to avoid a backlog in emergency rooms due to people taking unnecessary risks. to haze was visible in the paris on tuesday and pollution levels could rise further as the crimes. in germany or thirties in the states have brandon back at battling wildfires the area is a tinder box off to a long and hard to try weather. amid warnings across europe that midweek temperatures could break records staying cool remains top of the agenda. if you're lucky.
