a legend one simply the human being. neil armstrong starts july 20th on t.w. . this is g w news live from berlin a u.s. warship shoots down and a rainy and drone in the gulf this is the ship the u.s.s. boxer president trump says the unmanned aircraft came close to the worship and was posing a threat what will that mean for the already high tensions between the u.s. and iran also coming up. next i disagree with.

that trump tries to distance himself from ugly chanting at a campaign rally his supporters are responding to his repeated attacks on for it democratic congresswoman that is he is branded as unpatriotic and japan in shock as the death toll in the arson attack on an animation studio rises to 33 police have arrested a suspect but his motive remains a mystery. i burnt off it's good to have you with us we begin tonight with the u.s. president donald trump says a u.s. warship stationed in the strait of hormuz has destroyed an iranian drone which flew within a 1000 meters of the u.s. vessel of speaking during a meeting today with the dutch. mr moore trump said the unmanned craft had ignored

many calls to stand down and was threatening the safety of the u.s. as a boxer and its crew the downing of the drone comes at a time of heightened tension in the region and in the narrow street which is the shipping gateway to the goal of a more of that now let's go to g.w. is over salad he is on the story for us in washington this evening good evening to you all over so what do we know what exactly happened here with the pentagon already confirmed 2 that the u.s. warship the u.s.s. boxer that is currently cruising in the strait of hormuz off the coast of iran shot down this iranian drone they say that was an act of defense they say got dangerously close and as you just mentioned the u.s. president donald trump already responded when he had so that a prime minister. in the white house today and he called this

a provocative and hostile action by iran so that shows already the tensions here are running high between the 2 countries he said that the ship that the drone had to be shut down because it posed a serious threat for the people personnel and staff on board for the ship itself and that 3 drone and the people running the drone did not respond to any warning that will send from the united states to iran to stand down in all of this comes at a time of rising tension between iran and the u.s. i mean are we talking about a new level of escalation here. well we are obviously it reminds of the fact that tensions were running high before and that both countries the united states and iran were at the brink of war just a couple weeks ago when iranian revolutionary guard shot down a drone in the strait of hormuz very nearby the scituate the location from today's

incident the u.s. then insisting the drone was flying in international airspace iran says the drone violated iranian airspace and both countries were the brink of war when the u.s. president then ordered attacks in retaliation and just withdrew some 10 minutes before these attacks were supposed to be carried out targeting targets in iran so that chills how high the tensions are running how dangerous the situation really is this all comes on the heels of the nuclear deal with iran the united states withdrew from this deal in order to get iran back to the negotiating table to avoid iran having a nuclear bomb. and then and in a result in addition to that heightening economic sanctions which the foreign minister of iran shots in new york just a couple days ago called economic terrorism so the big fear of is that both countries will be running into a war that none of them really wants or corresponded oversell with on the story

forged in washington tonight all over thank you. well tonight perhaps even trump thinks he's gone too far he's told reporters that he's not happy with the ugly chanting at a campaign rally in north carolina from yesterday and that he disagrees with it trump repeated his attack on a group of democratic congresswoman at the rally women that he is branded as unpatriotic and that's when the chanting started echoing racist tweets by trump posted earlier this week but in the cold light of the next day the u.s. leader tried to distance himself from what happened. it would have been a normal day at the white house if not for the events of the night before but as such the only question from reporters was what the president did not stop his supporters from chanting racist slogans at his rally when confronted the president

played it off as something beyond his control did i started speaking quickly it really was a lot i disagree with but it was quite a chant and i felt a little bit badly about it but i will say this i did and i started speaking very carefully but it started up rather rather fast as you probably know so if you'll tell her supporters like i would say that i was i was not happy that. i disagree with. the chant in question began when the president called out by name for young congresswoman who represent the new left wing of the democratic party to advocate for progressive legislation like universal health care a federal jobs program and free college tuition all of them happened to be women of color and frequently criticize trump and his policies last night this was his response. i didn't know that the suggestion for the hate filled extremists

who are constantly trying to tear our country down they never have anything good to say that's why i say hey if they don't like it a little believe let them lead. to many observers trump speech was shocking a u.s. president telling nonwhite congress women to leave the country but at the rally it was a hit the name of omar who is from a somali refugee family particularly riled the crowd. yet it didn't take long for representative omar herself to respond carefully i want to make sure that every single person who is in this country was aspiring to become part of the american fabric. understands that nothing this president says should be taken apart we are and they have hands as might just for the one else this is our country and where we go a lot of the racist rhetoric may be

a winning strategy for trump recent polls show his popularity among republicans has increased since he began his attack on the congresswoman. here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world to tell about militants have killed at least 12 people and wounded scores of others by detonating 2 car bombs outside police headquarters in the afghan city of kandahar the blasts were followed by a gunfight between the militants and security forces authorities say that the dead include police and civilians a moroccan court has sentenced 3 men to death for the murder of 2 scandinavian women in december of last year louisa yes prison and martin were killed in their tents at a popular hiking destination the court also jailed 20 other defendants with links to the killers police in western germany say they have thwarted a possible terrorist attack after reading the homes of suspected islamised extremists the raids began early this morning in the city of cologne and in

a nearby town police reportedly detained 6 men for questioning. went to japan where 33 people have been confirmed dead in a fire at an animation studio in the city of kioto police say the fire was started deliberately but they have not revealed a motive a suspect has been detained and taken to a hospital to be treated for injuries. neighbors of kyoto animation said they heard something that sounded like an explosion and then there was smoke. police said it looked like someone had poured gasoline around the studio the arsonist reportedly screamed di as he doused the building and set off the blaze. authorities arrested the suspected fire starter and have identified him as a man in his forty's but the attack shocked a nation for violent crime is rare. but. well i had thought this area was quite safe so i am stunned.

myself on the killer i never thought such an incident could take place in kioto of all places and especially in this area. i wonder what grudge the suspect was holding the gun. japanese prime minister shinzo took to twitter to denounce the attack this is the worst massacre in japan's post-war history the suspects identity and his motive remain a mystery but police confirm he is neither a current nor a former employee of the studio reports say he was too seriously injured to face questioning when police arrested him. well the foreign ministers from germany and russia have taken part in a forum here in germany that may not sound remarkable but it is considering relations between the 2 countries have been so frosty that this meeting has not

hosted the 2 leaders since 2012 but the day after a new cease fire was announced in the conflict between ukrainian troops and pro russian separatists the foreign ministers clearly felt but it is time to talk again . with respect tank killa view for the german and russian ministers meeting in bone . it's the 1st time the 2 you have met as part of the pitas book dialogue since the start of the ukraine crisis and signals an easing of tensions there's a long agenda top $51.00 issue the conflict in eastern ukraine ukrainian soldiers have been fighting pro russian rebels there for the last 5 years another cease fire is due to take effect at the weekend the german foreign minister sees that in a positive light cycling so it's vital for. shows there can be progress or we want to work together. i've seen what i've been donbass that

people want peace. now is the time for constructive engagement on both sides. for. you get you in there but the russian foreign minister blames the ukrainian government for the conflict you see that says moscow is ready to take part in the peace process with the quickness that we would do this we will support it and take all practical steps to make progress is also using our contacts on the ground. we're going to skim. ny the minister wants to talk publicly about the sanctions which the e.u. imposed on russia 5 years ago. people in germany i'm more forthcoming. since a lot of i think that as long as russia acts like that and threatens ukraine and carries out some kind of war there it's justified to senator kerry differently about all i would rather stay out of it russia was always our boss in east germany

back then we had to conform to what they wanted and now say should do what they want so in the back of us rushed. to petersburg dialogue named after the russian city aims to promote. the forum was started in 2001 by the russian president vladimir putin and then german chancellor gerhard schroeder relations between germany and russia was significantly better at that time they've got worse since the start of the ukraine conflict there's no harmony in other areas both sides want to stick to the iran nuclear deal and there's agreement also on the controversial nord stream to gas pipeline the message of the day they can be no progress without cooperation. of american t.v. holmes is leading after the 1st round of golf open championship at portrush in northern ireland homes carded a 5 under par while local hero and pre-tournament favorite roy roy had
