because i tried to do it exactly after a day. like name of the uninsured and i work at that view. 2 this is do every news live from berlin it's a killing that has shocked germany a politician assassinated in his own home now a suspected right wing extremist already in detention is reported to have confessed to killing while to luka but did he act alone also coming up. our favor towards the grief back home for a child who drowned with her father when he tried to cross the rio grande

a inch of united states in search for a better life. and europe swelter is in a record heat wave temperatures are forecast to keep on soaring we'll tell you how to stay safe in this extreme heat. to. play the harp it's great to have you along everyone german authorities say a suspected right wing extremist has confessed to the recent killing of c.d.u. politician volta luka the suspect identified only as stefan was arrested a few weeks after the attack lots of the crew was shot dead at close range at his home in the western town of castle earlier this month. for more on this development we're joined now by our parliamentary from our parliamentary studios

rather by correspondence leoni fund hammerstein's léonie good to see you the suspect has now confessed what have what more have you learned. yeah we do know that the suspect 45 year old man stephanie has confessed to the killing of 5 to go off the petition from western state of hester we also know that he has claimed that he acted alone even though investigators have said they want to probe whether this claim is actually true what is unclear at this point in time is the motive of the crime and there's a lot of talk about a political motive behind it because stephanie has been linked to far right extremist group groups in the past the suspect if he himself has said that he was against the program i grinned policies off chance i'm going to makris christian democrats and the interior minister has you have a has called or has referred to the crime as political murder but there is still investigation into the actual motive of the crime so any conclusions that have been

drawn by politicians yeah there was an extraordinary meeting today by the over said side committee of the investigators in the german parliament and then a couple of lessons learned 1st of all and most importantly maybe the mistakes that have been made in relation to this crime and the head of the domestic security agency it emitted that his also as he's half actually ceased to monitor stephany's since 2000 i even though he has a criminal record and he has been linked to far right extremist extremist groups in the past another lesson learned is that there's definitely a new awareness of the breath's a far right extremist networks and also the role of online hate speech in this regard and this is what president of the parliament. addressed today let's listen what he said. mentioned 5 you had some major and contempt for other human beings have in the past being. the breeding ground for violence and even. anyone who

nourishes just breeding ground makes themselves complicit she would everyone should have realized that by now. this issue of addressing the border stark earlier learn where does the investigation go from here investigators have said today and have freephone today that they want to broaden the investigations they want to have a look into the links off stephanie and whistle other far right extremist networks and whether there may be any relation to killings in the past right right extremists not as in the past the most recent case is there and it's you trials and a serious of 10 murders committed in the early 2000 and by far right extremists and investigators have said they want to they want to see whether there are any links to the ends you try and and stefan is so there definitely is an awareness of the

investigators that they cannot take this case lightly that they have to take seriously also that online hate speech that's been hate speech on the hate speech but also actual violent threats against politicians all over germany and they have to take it seriously this time and investigate interlinks learning from hammerstein that reporting thank you. a sign over some of the other stories making news around the world. a dutch flag a german rescue ship says it has just entered italian waters despite orders from rome to stay away the sea watch 3 has been waiting off the island of lampedusa for 2 weeks but with over 40 migrants on board will italy's government to set the ship should travel to germany or the netherlands instead. a new united nations report has revealed the scale of global drug use the authors highlight at the level

of opiate use with $53000000.00 people worldwide now taking the substances on this includes for scription medications as well as illegal drugs like heroin cocaine production also hit record highs reaching almost 2000 tonnes in 2017 alone. yes former u.s. special counsel robert mueller has agreed to testify to public hearings in congress next month let the investigation into russian election meddling in detail and what details rather numerous occasions when u.s. president may have obstructed justice when miller had previously declined to face public questioning about his report. with the campaign and we stay in the u.s. where democrats in the u.s. house of representatives have approved billions of dollars worth of humanitarian aid for migrants on the border with mexico it's unclear whether the bill will pass the republican controlled senate and president trump has threatened to veto it but it comes as concerns are growing over the situation on the border reports of

children being kept in squalid conditions another tragic incident has also focused the country's attention images of a dead toddler and her father some viewers may find the following report disturbing . it has come to this a father with his tiny toddler tucked incite a sharp drive and in search of a better life according to reports oscar alberto martinez decided to swim across the rio grande day with his wife and child in a bid to seek asylum in the u.s. . his wife tanya. watched as her loved ones succumb to the currents seen here in the red she is led away but i have to say report shows that these people tried to cross the river to the united states gary jumped in the water on the draw and when he tried to rescue her. from the.

back in their needs of el salvador their deaths have started and much anguish as their family mourns. all of. this is her favorite doll this one she had it every time her mother got. already. a family with their lives ahead of them. was not yet 2 years old and the demons that had come in monday last message my son sent me was on saturday he said mama i love you mom my day our moment he said take care of yourselves because we're fine here when i read that message it made me want to cry because i saw it as a sort of goodbye. it is. the tragedy a marriage to democrats in washington pasta bill calling for extra cash to address

the conditions in migrant detention centers because recognize for one minute thank you madam speaker this issue ation is child abuse is not tri-city that violates every value we have not only as americans but as moral beings donald trump says he will veto it but deaths like oscar and valerie is on america's borders may make such a hard line stance difficult to hold. while the grim border drowning underlines the perils facing many migrants trying to get to the united states by colleague jonathan crane is tracking this story for you very very disturbing horrifying picture there has there been any reaction yes lots of anger lots of sadness as you'd expect a person reminder really if it was needed if the risk some people are willing to take try to get a better life for themselves and their family because often these personal stories to get lost in the whole immigration debate now what appears to have happened in

the case of the runner as family is they were trying to actually access the u.s. legally they were trying to request asylum but what is happening is that these these people are having to wait on the mexican side while the u.s. courts process the application requests and that process has been really slowed down. in recent weeks and months many that it could actually take months and even year is for these people to have their case had and i think that's led to a lot of frustration the runners from they were apparently frustrated and critics say this is what's pushing these people like me to take these risks despite the dangers ahead of them very very troubling indeed how about the detention centers across the border yes there's these detention centers across the border now in the case of the grammarians family if we used as an example even if they had managed to make it across the rio grande this every chance they would have been arrested and prosecuted and separates it from that daughter valerie who tragically died now that's because last year as possible from 0 tolerance policy migrants wrist

prosecution for crossing the border. separates is now the separations have stopped hundreds of children still to remain in detention center public access has been very limited but recently a group of lawyers did go into one in clinton texas and were shocked at what they found one of them said the children had no soup. they should never see such inhumane conditions let's listen. to tension i try to say because we're talking about such traumatic. topics it's a way i try to. but it was difficult to say. because the stench was so awful. so it's a very shocking comments there by a justice department lawyer last week she tried to argue in a court hearing that children didn't need or toothbrushes to have safe unsanitary

conditions that's what's required by law now that is obviously provoked also a very strong reaction we've got a tweet here that went viral actually from michael scott moore how he was kidnapped by somali pirates pirates he said that they gave me toothpaste and. the implication of course being that the u.s. treats migrants less humanely than pirates to their captives now of course what's so striking is that picture of the drowned father and child are so eerily reminiscent of something that we had here as well of alan cordy the syrian child who also dry and drowned on the turf on a turkish beach. is that could this be a turning point in the migration debate in the u.s. we had about that democratic bill aimed at improving the conditions in the detention centers but democrats and republicans have always locked horns about this issue that bill is probably going to get voted down in the republican controlled senate and of course remember donald trump made cracking down on illegal immigration one of his big campaign promises for 2016 it's likely he'll do the same

again when he runs for reelection 283 people died in 28 seeing trying to cross from mexico into the united states despite these statistics that the new little sign of u.s. policy changing it's all about creating a terence now what the trumpet ministrations but a lot of pressure on mexico to take some responsibility we've seen mexican troops to plied deployed to the southern border hard line republicans will say is that the countries like mexico or other central american countries to sort things out there and meantime of course the people are stuck between a rock and a heart place that jonathan crane thank you appreciate it. you're watching the news we still have a lot more to tell you about including. is this painting a loston masterpiece by kind of and who is the mystery buyer who snapped it up for $100000000.00 before it went to auction. and that coming

up in a short moment u.s. president donald trump threatened to obliterate iran after the recent flare up of tensions between the 2 countries the standoff is likely to feature prominently at a nato meeting in brussels to date. u.s. diplomats want to use the gathering to try and win more european support to persuade iran to change its course but as you have your story shows reports it will be no easy task. this strife in the strait of hormuz is creating a gulf between the u.s. and its european allies there's a debate to put it mildly there's a debate about this between europe and america u.s. acting defense secretary mark esper will spend his 1st days on the job at nato headquarters trying to convince his european counterparts their own interests are at stake in the street too u.s. ambassador to nato kay bailey hutchison has been laying the groundwork it's

a nato folks but iran attacking ships. say the they're going to go back into preparing for a nuclear weapons that's pretty strong to stand up to it but esper is still likely to have a tough time getting european support for military action one of the problematic parts of trump's agenda from the very beginning is this idea of a bitch other to how much they spend on their militaries now there is article 3 which states that all government should continually and affectively improve their capabilities and to be sure some don't but never before has the commitment to collective defense been quantified or questioned europeans are spending more on their militaries now and will spend even more in the future but rather than easing tensions with the u.s. a new front has been opened that's because the european union is earmarking almost

$600000000.00 for its own defense projects that might exclude the u.s. washington is threatening to retaliate still senior nato officials believe things will work out because the u.s. and european defense industries are already intertwined so i think altogether the picture. it is not so much that of a fortress america of a fortress europe but that of a transatlantic market that is in place and from this perspective is likely to continue and in its quest to convince europeans to ratchet up pressure on iran the u.s. may take heart from recent history it took years but all allies now agree with the u.s. conclusion that russia is violating the intermediate range nuclear treaty the i.n.f. they also support the u.s. decision to declare the treaty dead on august 2nd unless moscow announces it will destroy its program before then a unanimous nato stance that once and impossible to achieve. terry szell so

reporting there and we can take you now to terry in brussels where she is still at the nato h.q. good to see you terry let's sepic up where that report left off with the end of that landmark arms control pact between the u.s. and russia looming in the back ground what i'm going to search is advocating where you are do they want to beef up a defense or do they want to try and bring russia back into the fold. officially ministers are still giving russia until august 2nd to come back into compliance which would mean destroying this massive expensive missile system and nobody thinks that's going to happen but they definitely want to be seen as giving every last chance to the kremlin there's expected to be a nato russia meeting next week so that at least nato can say look we tried until the very last minute not to abrogate this treaty not to have this treaty declared to defunct but the same time they're saying they have to look at what a post i.n.f. world looks like

a world without controls on intermediate range nuclear weapons and that is going to mean beefing up nato zone defenses there is a missile defense system in nato it would have to be reconfigured to look at the new threats coming from russian missiles that could be trained on european countries so it's a really big deal here and people are quite nervous about it but we won't be hearing much about the options until after the i.m.f. is declared dead on august 2nd in the probable case that russia doesn't come into compliance and terry that isn't the only major foreign policy issue causing concern where you are of course the escalating tensions between u.s. and iran i imagine are front and center there as well what's nato is position and have european members of the alliance expressed where they stand. nato doesn't have a position on iran it doesn't even want to have to take a position on iran at the moment it says this is between the u.s. and tehran and it very much hopes for a deescalation nobody wants to see a war in the gulf is specially complicated for european union members who are still

trying to keep the nuclear deal together with tehran so deescalation of tensions is definitely the 1st priority but we've just seen u.s. acting defense secretary mark esper arrive and have some remarks with secretary general stolzenberg he is definitely trying to give allies the impression that he is a supporter of nato he has served in nato posts and he wants to reassure allies that the u.s. is not. going to take any rash actions at the same time we had just heard the u.k. defense secretary come in and she said look we are very much in favor of deescalation we don't want to see any military action there europeans are definitely not in favor of escalation at the same time again if they're saying it's a u.s. iran issue they really don't have that much leverage over washington but mark esper is going to be updating allies in just the next couple of hours and i believe that that washington will be trying to reassure them that nothing is going to happen

without consultation terry so in brussels thank you for your continued coverage. now a do it yourself home repair has led to the discovery of a multi 1000000 euro masterpiece in the french city of toulouse the work by the italian master card of a jew is believed to have been left in an attic for at least 100 years caravaggio's and hall a furnace 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. she would have thought 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 celis came back from the napoleonic wars with the painting. but.

2 2 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 point for this painting however is controversial some of historians disagree that it is indeed a carrot piece but despite doubts it's been privately sold to a mystery for an estimated 150000000 euros. right next to europe is being hit by an unprecedented heat wave or temperatures expected to break records in paris for example the average high for this time of the year is 20 degrees celsius today the forecast is 36 degrees celsius and it's the same in the

spanish capital madrid it should be around $27.00 degrees but we're expecting $38.00 degrees celsius and here at our studios in berlin it's the same story the average june high is a comfortable 22 forecast at 36 but get this the mercury has actually reached 37 now and the extreme weather expected to continue until the weekend governments have issued health warnings that are urging people to do everything they can to stay cool. keeping cool in most every way possible people and animals across continental europe feeling the heat of unusually high temperature. is. just drinking try to go to far so slowly. drink drink drink water yes. well this hot sun we try and keep to the cooler places. will follow the course at

all the more 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 the. meteorologist say the soaring temperatures a tutor 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 country is still scarred by the intense heat wave of 2003 in which almost 15000 people died. there but. the through this isn't scaremongering 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 the new history of. the haze was visible in 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 at battling wildfires the area is a tinder box after prolonged hot and dry weather. amid warnings across europe that midweek temperatures could break records staying cool remains top of the agenda. answer check if we are breaking those records we sent our reporter going to kettles out into berlin to take the german capitals temperature. i don't know what i'm going to america and this building is doing to cool down but the truest subsetting you found ways to enjoy the heat. by

whether you're come from we're from iceland. and we came on friday most of last week so you're from a really cold place right so how are you handling that he had a disappointed but we had actually been loving it because this is we think is not what we expect when we go to germany so but we love it but we have any warm. so do you have any of those sort of ways to cope with the heat yet we we have 50 sunscreen all over that extra 50 in the bag and then we try to stay as much as possible in the shelter. so where do you come from rick i'm from ukraine are you surprised by this weather here in germany at the moment yeah we didn't know that it would be 36 degrees like today and we don't know what to do because it's very hot here. do you have any ideas how to cope with this

sot a few just see there's some places like beasts you need to take some water around these parts of your body on the spot of your body usually if you will tell you my small but i'm ok i think this sort of advice will come in handy because a cigarette in march and we haven't reached their record yet. and we'll be checking back in we're going to in a later poses for an update on the heat wave here in berlin you're watching video we news coming up next in news asia. we'll take you to the golden triangle in southeast asia region notorious for the production of synthetic drugs the business is booming but why on earth what he's doing to stop it plus a beauty at all ages we need south korea's new runway model the senior citizen that strutting his stuff. looking good so we saw this guy that has those stories are for you want a whole lot more and just
