germany a suspected right wing extremist has confessed to the recent killing of german politician. the suspect named only as stefan he was arrested a few weeks after the attack. was shot dead at close range at his home in the western town of casal earlier this month. well joining me now with more from our parliamentary studios is our correspondent much to 1000000 cost much really only the suspect in this case has apparently confessed to killing a politician can you give us any more details. yes the details of this development 1st were leaked this morning when the committee for internal affairs of the german parliament the bonus talk was held in an extraordinary meeting and there the leading investigative authorities were speaking and brought forward the information that the suspect stephanie had admitted the crime yesterday in an investigation in

a. talk with authorities and this has 1st been leaked but now been confirmed by the federal minister for internal affairs wholesale for who says yes that the suspect has admitted to the crime but of course that the investigation will now continue because the suspect so has to be pushed in front of court and get to trial before the actual murder investigation can become cleared as well the reports that i've seen so far suggest that the suspect said he was acting alone can you confirm that . well this is of course one of the question that both the members of the german parliament in their special meeting today we're asking and that of course the authorities some that selves investigating the story and the murder investigation are still asking has he really been acting alone this is what the suspect has been saying but they're wondering if he is actually trying to protect his network if there is as similar as we have seen as in the case of the and as you the national

socialist underground that was responsible for over several killings over the last decade that was put to trial in the last couple years if there's a similar network acting in the background of far right extremism and if this is putting this whole issue of foreign ministry in as an in germany in a whole different setting now many local and regional politicians in germany have reported receiving death threats from right wing extremists or at least hate mails from them or these threats being taken more seriously now in light of this killing . i think that is another question that we're going to see being put forward both by the parliament but also by the public as to what's the government and to what's invested of authorities because what we've heard today leaked from the meeting that the parliamentarians have held is that the head of the. domestic security agency which is ripon support for monitoring extremism here in germany that the head of

that agency has been saying there have been looking at stefan as a suspect in the last 10 years and we want to see if there's going to be a more close a look at the way these local politicians are being threatened across germany like so many other thank you so much that was our political correspondent much money man a caution there. well europe is being hit by an unprecedented heat wave temperatures are forecast to reach their highest level ever recorded in some countries today extreme weather is expected to continue into the weekend governments have issued health warnings and or urging people to do everything they can just stay cool. keeping cool in most every way possible people and animals across continental europe but feeling the heat of unusually high temperature is.

just drinking try to go too far so slowly. drink drink drink a lot. of what this hot sun we try and keep to the cooler places above. the course at all we 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 we were a. meteorologist say the soaring temperatures a juta hausherr blowing in from north africa but many also call this heat wave unprecedented. in france or thirty's are taking extra precautions to care for the most vulnerable. the then the country is still scarred by the intense heat wave of 2003 in which almost 15000 people died. of the new

face isn't scare mongering these heatwaves are 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 do he's going. to haze was visible at the paris on tuesday and pollution levels could rise further as the mercury crimes. in germany or thirty's in the state of brandon back up battling wildfires the area is a tinder box after. in taunton dry weather. made warnings across europe that midweek temperatures could break grackle it's staying cool remains top of the agenda. for more on how to cope with the heat and its implications i'm joined now by professor under is

mussar rockets from the human bio meteorology research center at freiburg university and the german meterological service thanks for being with us fessor we're hearing temperatures of 40 degrees celsius will be upon us soon and more that can be really uncomfortable of course but is it dangerous yes it's dangerous bot it's not only temperature because usually if we have dry conditions that it's humid it is very low in the atmosphere we can realize and we cannot stop higher temperatures of 35 if you need to keep it's high in the wind it's very low then the human body has no possibility to release or that the heat will be don't east and disappear to be surrounded to the atmosphere so therefore it's important to know that the it's a complex system that we have to consider here and there is one specific thing that

we have to know which is when we have temperatures which is higher than $34.00 we just about the skin temperature of the human body we have to be very very careful and we need possibilities for the human body in order to do because what possibilities are you talking about there are we do we need to go into air conditioned rooms drink a lot of water what are your suggestions. exactly 1st of all it's not it's mostly important to reduce the old negativity that we've not going for sports or something like that or be or avoid also to be used to stay in the sun especially the media in the moment in german to be of the problem not only that we have heat one but we have also given a warning that needs it's important to know that this it of the sun can. can have negative implications also that it means we have a combination of the other point is after avoiding the sun also could keep the indoor rooms cool and this is especially important during the night because if you

don't have. a comfort sleeve the next day we are in starting with more heat more stress and so on and finally it's also important to care about not only about little relatives but also for the neighbors ok good advice there i want to ask you about something else professor with the rising temperatures caused by the climate crisis that we're experiencing can we expect also an increase in diseases being spread like by bugs like mosquitoes and ticks. lists can be. bought it's not so clear that we will have consulting with skittles and victim victim on the seas increase of course we would have more mosquitoes but we don't know if we will have negative implications but it's absolutely clear that we will have implications from fessor thank you very much that was for professor.

sorry last year for sure prevention is here for just a 2nd much ruckus talking to is there he's with the freiburg university and response rock is a private university in the german meterological service thank you again. thank you very much and. i will do that. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today in yemen there's been heavy fighting between pro-government forces and who the rebels in the southwestern city of tire yaz officials say at least 16 rebels died in the violence religious residential neighborhoods in the area have been badly damaged the united nations has called yemen's 5 year civil war the worst the world's worst humanitarian crisis. for u.s. special counsel robert has agreed to testify to public hearings in congress next month led the investigation into russian election meddling and detailed numerous occasions when u.s. president may have obstructed justice mova previously declined to face public

questioning over his report between russia migrants aboard a dutch flag german rescue ship have appealed to italian authorities to let them disembark after 2 weeks circling the island of lampedusa in a video message they said the situation for the 43 migrants had become unbearable italy's government says the ship should travel to germany or the netherlands instead. the united nations office on drugs and crime has just released its $2900.00 world drug report the annual study analyzes trends in drug use and abuse looking at supply and demand for opiates cocaine cannabis and found a means and new psychoactive substances the biggest take away from the report is the global scale of the problem some 35000000 people around the world suffer from substance abuse that's 4 and a half 1000000 more than predicted. well the u.n.

experts say much of that rise was due to spikes in india and nigeria both carried out new surveys providing more accurate information on drug dependency in countries well the report also showed that the global manufacturer of cocaine has reached an all time high much for coming from south america it's up around 25 percent authorities seized more of the drug than ever before meanwhile north america is opioid crisis shows no sign of improving record numbers of overdose deaths from drugs like fentanyl were reported in both the united states and canada the world drug report also revealed that cannabis is still the most widely used illicit drug worldwide in 2016 around 188000000 people reported having used it in some form or that number is expected to rise and keep

rising as it loses its illicit status with increasing states and countries legalizing the drug v.w. science correspondent derek williams is with us here to talk us through the report morning there so the u.n. says there's been a 15 percent jump in people who need treatment for drug abuse that's nearly 5000000 more addicts what's behind the surge most a lot of this is just a question of bookkeeping to a certain extent statistically you would expect the numbers to go to go up because of course the world's population is growing so the number of people who are going to be addicted to drugs is going to be growing. in lockstep with that to a certain extent but some of it is simply bookkeeping and india nigeria in particular which you mentioned just in the run up to this talk there's there's just been better bookkeeping methods have been initiated so the whole drugs trade is by its very definition a grey zone it's very difficult to get information cartels and addicts are not going to provide information on how much they've imported or how much they've sold

for. but there are ways to get the better data and that's what's happened in the a nigerian particular which has caused this a sudden spike there's another number that jumps out of this report a 56 percent 56 percent surge in opioid use is the problem with opioid use is it limited mainly to wealthy countries the so-called global north or is it a problem in developing countries to emerge and when you're talking about opioids there are several different compounds that you're talking about some of them are naturally occurring compounds for example in compounds that are isolated from the poppy plant that are used to make opium and heroin and interestingly in this report numbers of the amount of heroin has actually dropped due to a drought in afghanistan which is the primary producer of of those compounds synthetic opioids on the other hand substances like fencing now which we've anybody who works in the media has been hearing about this opioid crisis in america for for

years and years they've done they've shot through the roof there more than 50000 deaths due to overdose and 27 seen in north america alone but what we're hearing less about prescription and much other prescription originally these are also medications and but but what we're hearing what we've heard less about almost nothing about actually is and is this impending crisis in africa with a substance called tramadol now tramadol i'm just going to give you a couple of numbers here less than 10 kilograms of this of this synthetic opioid were seized in 201125 tons of it were seized in 2017. makes you wonder how much of it actually got through almost 5 percent of nigeria's population said they took it for non-medical purposes last year so this is this is not a crisis that's impending this is a crisis that's actually already going on in africa pretty much an epidemic the way it's very serious indeed derek thank you very much for filling us in w. science correspondent derrick williams. yes president donald trump's son in law

jared krishna has appealed to palestinians to support a plan he says will revive their economy and improve their lives the proposals presented a meeting in bahrain involve investing billions of dollars in the palestinian territories the postals are part of a peace plan which has been dubbed the deal of the century but the palestinians have already rejected the plan says they do not include a political solution to the conflict. these were the scenes across gaza and the west bank as the bahrain conference got underway thousands of palestinians protested and staged a general strike against a plan they say attempts to buy them off. thousands of miles away in bahrain jerrod cushion or called on the palestinians to accept his vision one he dubbed the opportunity of the century if they want peace he said the

$50000000000.00 economic support plan would create a brighter future for the region. 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 the palestinian people but in the audience was no palestinian delegation they boycotted the meeting having rejected the plan from the start instead there were arab finance ministers and international business leaders the people the united states is soliciting to foot the bill cushion or says his proposal could create a 1000000 new jobs and slash unemployment helping to bring peace to the middle east . but the palestinians insist there can be no economic solution without a political one. we are here to send

a message that we would not be deceived by the so-called economy plan that it can be you know it going to make solution as a substitute freedom and 2nd how can we have it going to make development when we cannot control our borders our import our export our free market our freedom of movement washington says the political portion of the plan will follow but until then palestinians say cush news proposal is meaningless here in the west bank palestinians burned an empty casket it reads deal of the century born dead. to the women's world cup in france where the round of 16 is over now and the quarter finals are set yeah expat from sports is here to talk us through the action yeah it was quite quite the match there the last of the group of 16 a very heavy weight battle yeah this was pitting at the european champions netherlands up against japan who won the world cup back in the 2011 and were

finalists just 4 years ago so as he said 2 big heavyweights going toto in this match and both had periods of domination came out swinging in from a it was easily the best match of the world cup so fide had everything it had a goal action some light cruel drama let's have a look at how that match panned out. the netherlands launched themselves into the lead early in the 1st half thanks to the commodity who picked out the bottom corner with a crafty back heel after that though it was japan's game. on the stroke of half time you has a guy was crowned this foreign policy move week to finish it deserved to draw things level. a 2nd for japan seemed inevitable in the 2nd half i mean tested to keep it from distance. and later on he said i went close to netherlands were on the rocks sorry to hear only by the woodwork. a stroke of

luck for the dutch penalty right that the day after via meet him up lost to the shot at sac ecomog eyes are there was no mistake from martin in the 90th minute and orange elation in. brutal misfortune for japan back to a moment these are very. brutal misfortune for japan you can see it on the face of it there's a player here now they were finalists 4 years ago they've won it in 2011 as you pointed out already but this campaign has been a failure for a don't think we can quite call it a fairly just because going into this tournament japan once seen as one of the favorites yes they were finalist but only 5 players from that campaign are actually remaining are actually young this team in this world cup so they are in a transition phase and no longer will force and i was actually surprised by this performance because i saw them last week in nice when i played england and they were nowhere near as impressive they had a fractured attack and they want

a strong on the ball but against the netherlands awful though easily the best team they deserved to win this match and unfortunately a cruel penalty at the death so all knocked out the best you better not talk about that so if it is a bit of an injustice to japan unfortunate but a good omen for the future i believe a young team have performed well here they won the world cup in the under 20 section last season last year sorry so i think in 4 years they'll be big back again bigger and stronger ok that wasn't the only game last night there were 2 games ending the group of 16 china and italy yes and this was china an old pal house coming up against italy who are looking like an emerging powerhouse this is their 1st world cup in 20 years and they surprise everyone in the group stage to beat astride of brazil top their group and in this match they also surprise dominating. china and getting a deserved we in the end this is the 1st goal that i got on 15 minutes with

valentino she achieved starting and finishing move to questionable defending there from the chinese as well and then aurora gali doubled the lead in the 2nd half with long range which was an absolute beauty just coming up here and this was italy's 1st knockout win in history so big deal for the country and you have the feeling that italy only verge of something special on the domestic league is growing the federation is putting more money into the game it's becoming more professionalized and with a coach $1000000.00 of the leni she plays attacking football as well as the defensive football we know the italians play and it's an exciting time now won't be surprised if they have another knockout victory in the future against the netherlands in the quarterfinals ok so we've seen japan do well we know the americans of course a very strong but otherwise it seems to be a european dominated tournaments yeah exactly 7 out of the 8 teams in the quarterfinals off from europe and it's unfortunately indicative of where the women's game is at the moment the countries that take women's football seriously

and put money into it the ones that are excelling teams like the spain italy england have recently woken up in the past few years and are developing their leagues and their country and you can see that teams like nigeria argentina chile who have to fight the federations to get paid it let alone to get funding. struggling and you can see that and hopefully this world cup can be a catalyst for more countries taking the women's game seriously thank you so much from v.w. sports. a do it yourself home repair has led to the discovery of a multi-million euro masterpiece in the french city of toulouse the work by the italian master is believed to have been left in an attic for at least 100 years caravaggio's judith and hall a furnace a grisly biblical scene in which jewish widow judith beheads the assyrian general who's come to destroy his city and her people. until

a few years ago this apparent loss moss a piece from the italian artist was hidden away in an attic in toulouse france. sure we have a lot i wanted to sell and to lose because the story started here so i wanted it to end here with the agreement of the seller of course we don't know how the painting made its way back here the most plausible explanation is that a relative of the sellers came back from the napoleonic wars with the painting. and the point is. 2 it was discovered while a couple who want to remain anonymous investigated a leaky roof at their home on history fans fascinated and on the stone with us. now in art history we often think that everything has been seen everything has been discovered and in fact we realize that there are still hidden treasures when. this painting however is controversial some all historians disagree that it is indeed a carrot piece but despite the doubts it's been privately sold to

a mystery for an estimated 150000000 euros. and just reminder of the top stories we're following for you here today on d w news reports are coming in here in germany that ever suspected of bright playing extremist has confessed to the recent killing of a german politician volatile. the suspect named only as stefan was arrested a few weeks after a new tactic of the loop was shot dead at close range at his home in the western german city of scottsdale earlier this week. at a record heat wave has put parts of europe on high alert with authorities warning of the risk of heat stroke and severe dehydration temperatures are expected to reach between 35 and 40 degrees celsius in some conflicts. you're watching news still to come in d.w.
