argentina and germany in the last years they haven't been any major protests here and also i've talked to organizers of a protest on sunday and they estimated that only about 200 people came and that's compared to thousands in argentina last year and tens of thousands in hamburg in germany in 2017. overruled the city's expecting 30000 visitors over the course of the weekend. ahrens i'm joined now by g.w. correspondent max often who is in a saka japan covering the summit there max a lot of ground to be covered by the world leaders there what can we expect from this summit. and indeed a lot of ground to be covered in traditionally you know these g. 20 summits are about promoting multiple lateral trade and the main instrument to do that is a declaration that the leaders need to accept at the end and that is prepared by
4:04 pm
so-called sherpas they've been doing that now since sunday here in osaka and we're hearing things aren't going to well although the japanese presidency is really trying to put the focus on those topics that are afterwards in the declaration there are so many important topics on the sidelines just take iran for example or the chinese american trade conflict that the japanese presidency indeed is afraid that all the attention will be steered away from from their focus and maybe that in the end there won't even be a declaration on the table at least the last each one of these summits for example and when as i reached the end of last year have always been extremely difficult because of that all right well let's talk about president trump of course so all eyes on him during g. 20 summit like the one in osaka right now he's often been at odds with other a leaders who were there is there
4:05 pm
a sense that he will dominate this summit as well. well so far he's already tweeted you know a couple of things that are worrisome for some of the countries he had the bottom line of what he's always saying it's always been the same message really is that america is being treated unfairly by its trade partners and the latest victim of one of the tweets here was was india but also germany is also mentioned in these and the g 20 summits where i have been with donald trump indeed he's always managed to overshadow this hard work which is you know not as not as offensive maybe to some as what trump does in his tweet so there's a real danger here that the same thing will happen especially because you have the 2 biggest economies in the world the united states of america and china teetering on the edge of a full blown trade war. all right and i just have a 20 seconds left to max out what are the chances that the chinese and american
4:06 pm
leaders will overcome their differences during the g 20 summit and osaka. they'll have a bilateral meeting on saturday president xi of china and president trump of the united states some have said we've had media reports that trump is ready to have a truce there and back off of additional tariffs that he wanted to slap on chinese goods but you can never be really be sure just take the last summit aboard as i read after that he was very positive so he said china and the u.s. would work out a deal but then really exactly the opposite happened so in this case it's really not the words that count but the work that's done afterwards and the actual agreement that might or maybe not be negotiated max huffman reporting from osaka thank you. and head of the g. 20 summit there been more concerns about the health of the german chancellor angela merkel after she was seen shaking at
4:07 pm
a function with the german present time kalter steinmeier the 2 leaders were attending a ceremony with outgoing justice minister catarina barly it comes just days after a similar incident took place that it was attributed to chance or suffering from dehydration. and for more on this i am now joined by our political correspondent thomas sparrow who is in our parliamentary studios tom is the chancellor seen traveling now for a 2nd time they know you mentioned that similar incident a few days ago that was when i met the ukrainian president here in berlin and back then reporters asked that of a whole how she was feeling and watch she had actually done to stop the trembling she said back then that she had drunk 3 glasses of water and felt much better so as you said that previous incident had been put down to dehydration it is still unclear what the causes are in this new case the one that we're just just saw there
4:08 pm
with. but spokesperson did mention off towards that i'm going to mccall is in good health on the her agenda will continue as planned on the most important item agenda is her trip to japan for the g. 20 thomas is there a growing concern here in germany about the chancellor's health there is concern in germany about the chance of those health in particular because she has always been seen as a very strong and healthy woman but again it is important to wait and see what exactly the doctors say about her health and why this happened again the 1st time that it happened it was simply put down to the hydration and i'm going to mocha was able to continue with her duties as normal political correspondent tom sperry thank you. i want to tell you now about some of the other stories making news around the world german authorities say they have arrested a bosnian man wanted in connection with islamised extremist attacks in paris 2015
4:09 pm

4:10 pm
not to drag its nato allies into a possible war against iran while the warning comes a week after u.s. president donald trump reportedly called off air strikes on iran just minutes before impact after tehran down an unmanned u.s. drone new acting defense secretary mark esper had earlier told his counterparts in brussels that washington wanted to avoid conflict but it couldn't tolerate any additional incidents he said the u.s. also held iran responsible for 2 attacks on tankers in the gulf of oman earlier this month but didn't want the situation to escalate. kuala nato secretary-general stoltenberg welcomed espers statements let's take a listen to what he said and then we'll take it from there. i think that woman message is thought. is that the united states so clearly the house stated that they
4:11 pm
don't want a war they actually said very clearly that there it is to talk with iran without preconditions and it was a message from allies today that we support efforts to deescalate to avoid in the miscalculations incidents accidents and especially that they spotted of out of control and create a really dangerous. dangerous situation all right let's take you now to the nato h.q. to w.'s teri schultz who's covering the summit for you terry good to see you everybody apparently trying to defuse the tension is can you tell us more about what the acting u.s. defense secretary said about iran. yes you know it's interesting iran wasn't even on the agenda of the nato meeting it's not a nato issue but in fact it was on the forefront of everyone's mind and it was virtually all we talked about at the press conferences certainly with acting
4:12 pm
secretary of defense mark esper now what he very much wanted allies to understand is that the united states is not seeking war even though as you mentioned it has come to the very brink of a military conflict and just in the last few days he says that is not what washington wants it wants to use economic pressure it wants to use diplomatic pressure to bring iran to the negotiating table and that's what allies want to hear at the same time he said he would be looking for more from them he wanted to hear more public statements out of nato allies he said it may even move to maritime support wanting european ships perhaps to escort oil tankers through the strait of hormuz where they have been these problems he says we're not there yet and in fact he said he'll be coming back in july to i lay the case out in even more detail here's what he says the american goals are. the united states continues its maximum pressure campaign to to brought to deprive iran of the revenues it needs to prop up terrorist organizations and to fund proxy groups. our goal iran to the
4:13 pm
negotiating table to conclude a comprehensive enduring deal that addresses iran's nuclear program its a ballistic missile development of proliferation its support for terrorism and other malign activities that begs the question terry will the us be able to count on the support of its allies. i was lucky enough to ask a question of secretary esper and i asked him what he expected of european governments who are still trying very hard to keep iran in the nuclear deal of course they are negotiating with iran as partners in this deal that is now a 5 party deal with the u.s. having left and he said he doesn't see any conflicts between the european allies working with iran on nuclear issues and also joining what he very much hopes will be a coalition to pressure iran on the other issues the range of missile missile development of what they say are provoking of actions in the gulf it's very unclear how far
4:14 pm
allies want to go secretary esper revealed that some have come up to him privately asking him exactly what the u.s. is going to want from them so it does it was unclear whether they were in offering mode or sort of a fearful mode but again secretary esper said surprisingly that he's coming back here in mid july to talk more about this with nato allies ok so it seems like it's a very delicate balancing act i mean what's the appetite we heard from the french counterpart who said don't drag us into this. yeah it's not a nato issue and nato until now has been able to say to say that you know this is a u.s. iran bilateral issue that's gone now with secretary esper announcing before he came on this trip that he wanted to internationalize the issue yes secretary of state palm pale in the gulf right now asking those partners to join in as well so the u.s. doesn't want this to remain a bilateral issue it wants countries that have leverage that have economic leverage on iran to join the effort and they say look this is in all of our interests this
4:15 pm
is what it will take to bring iran economically diplomatically to the negotiating table so the u.s. wants it to be see i'm back here in germany 2 men have confessed to sexually abusing young children in one of the country's most shocking paedophile cases their trial began today they were accused in hundreds of cases of sex abuse that allegedly took place at a camp site in the town of looped over a period of decades while the case is mired in controversy amid charges of failures both by the police and government authorities. it was here at this camping ground that the 2 suspects allegedly abused over 40 children their victims included the main suspects own foster daughter as well as children as young as 4 years old the younger latin for a relatively short period of time through interrogation and deduction we were able to determine that many children had been abused additionally we found evidence of
4:16 pm
child pornography much of which were self-made. the police are now giving deaf alla tension to the case after dragging their feet thick years say critics according to the latest reports a government official and a psychologist had already raised concerns about the suspect sexual behavior in 2016 despite this government agencies allow the suspect to be granted custody of his foster daughter mia it's on that clearly it is even comprehensible to me how these 3 pieces of evidence could have been so badly misjudged resulting in such a fatal oversight and had to work on this. but reports suggest that the government's failure went beyond basic incompetence employees of the youth welfare office for portly did not only ignore these concerns they also manipulate the suspects records in their favor by deleting certain information about him.
4:17 pm
when they thought we have not fulfilled our judy as guardians and mission to protect the welfare of the children the way we should have because we misjudged these 3 pieces of evidence. on darfur and we sincerely apologize to those who have suffered as a result of. light lit in holland. 2 police offices and now also under investigation allegedly they too had known about the concerns against the main suspect and not reacted then in february over $150.00 d.v.d.'s that's just evidence disappeared from the police department only 3 was saved the trial will now assess not only the guilt of the alleged abuses but also how the government authorities could have failed so many times. the european union is calling on italy to find a quick resolution to its standoff with

a german engineer who's migrant rescue ship has entered italian waters and into finance of a band from rome on board the ship are 42 migrants picked up off the coast of libya 2 weeks ago. and our correspondent topper porter jonathan crane is here with more on this story because you're tracking this for us jonathan what is going on well essentially this has been stranded in the sea for the last fortnight basically zigzagging back and forth off the coast of lampedusa which is an italian island it's the closest. 3 to libya now it's really has been very clear on its position since last. it's how to close ports policy it's basically blocks any migrant shop ship from docking it's saying that if it ends his italian waters then the crew risks have to fine up to $60000.00 euros but the captain of the sea wall street
4:19 pm

4:20 pm
assistance that season has been some speculation in the italian media that maybe the italian coast guard can come to the boat and get the migrants on some lines from that own boats now where the crew of the works maintain that this is something that under emergency maritime law means it's only have to act at certain. we have people who are. true. every single person. is not every single person has both. obviously of course at least sees this all very differently what have a telling authorities been saying yeah it's really in syria minister and he and his lipase made a lot of political capital really over their hardline stance on immigration now us l.v. says this isn't about a sea rescue but it's essentially aiding and abetting people smugglers playing into
4:21 pm
the hands of people smugglers prime minister has also just spoken about this he said the captain is this isn't the end it's how important this court unbelievably serious these calls on the italian courts to take this matter up for his part salvini has been tweeting we know he's a very active on social media he says i do not support those who help the smugglers who with the money of the immigrants then by arms and drugs he went on to add that if a ship is seized in the crew as the rest is i will only be happy now there's a lot of frustration among some in italy that the country is essentially the landing point for these migrant ships that it is bearing the brunt of this basically wants other countries in the european union to do more to do that in this case is calling on germany because of course the world is a german and also the netherlands the. dutch flag with the e.u. says nothing can be done and other countries can help and so the migrants from drive that because this geographical location of course that's desk say thank you
