my. this is g w news live from berlin the u.s. asks europe to help protect shipping in the gulf washington makes a formal request to germany france and britain to provide security or lead says that it international approach is solving to solving the crisis is essential. also coming up remembering the boy who died when he was pushed under a train in frankfurt in germany authorities say that the man suspected of crime will be examined for a psychiatric disorder and i think when we didn't catch enough fish or squid to get

we would be eaten by the captain to bring people or we will be eaten a lot i'm still traumatized by it so i know it's not a problem we're going to go from seafarer to slay as we speak to the international man forced to work in a pulling conditions on chinese fishing boats off the coast of east africa and a rat and a rodent infested mess that is what president trump called city of baltimore over the weekend outraging many of its residents we sent our reporter to find out what it's really like. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program the u.s. has formally asked germany france and britain to help provide security for shipping in the strait of hormuz straight as a strategic route for much of the world's oil and is controlled by iran well ations between tehran and the west have deteriorated after the. u.s.

last year left a landmark deal designed to limit iran's nuclear program a recent series of tit for tat tanker seizures has since ramped up attention now germany says that it favors a multinational approach to protecting shipping. this is kind of target us there is no question that the e.u. operation must also be in step with what the americans are doing with their money economy the basic idea that the british government that is the reason maize government recently discussed with the german and french governments was that we were planning an e.u. mission to focus on recognizance in the region so that we knew who was violating maritime law who was launching attacks on ships so that we could then take action to fit in with the american mission but the basic idea was to set up a european mission but you can do the right through to next i know or so let's get more on this we're joined here in the studio by our chief political editor mr nurse so what are we to make of this u.s.

request here so it's an interesting one particularly the fact that person is now open to the idea of being part of a mission under u.s. leadership something that it's brought this european initiative that was kind of in the making to a grinding halt after all the europeans particular germans and the french who were initially open to such a mission were adamant that they wanted to be a counterweight to the maximum pressure policy of the united states so being part of the mission under u.s. lead with all those wrists attached does seem like something that certainly won't sell through here in the current governing coalition particular the social democrats who are very reserved and critical on that particular issue what is this really about is it really about iran but we're seeing a real power shift here and we're seeing bersin which is now under a new prime minister and a new foreign minister since last week or

a stance now prime minister and he's getting muscle prepared for hard breck's that he says himself that would be a. messy departs and most likely from the european union and. now the united states are calling on germany to take action in iran dividing really european allies in the name of an international alliance and the big question now is whether europe will be open to that so it seems to be much more heading towards a divide and and a lot to mission kind of narrative particularly when you get into the nitty gritty details we saw you've been hot in that clip there talk about reconnaissance the u.s. are talking about active protection that sounds much more robust than just observing what's going on what is the openness especially here in germany would you say. but i think it's soon as the u.s. policy on iran which is that maximum pressure policy is on the flag of any kind of

such mission there will be a lot less support in the german public that in recent years has become more open to the idea that germany has to take a stronger role for international security but any mission that involves the dumb bonus there beyond giving advice to local troops or something like that it requires a mandate from the blondest from the german parliament and with the current governing coalition looking increasingly divided on this the social democrat some voices ruling out a mission under the u.s. lead that could be much for robust and much more risky it's very unlikely that we'll see a german involvement beyond maximum diplomacy what germany is calling for for the time being the deputy political editor of the thank you. police in hong kong are to charge 44 pro-democracy protesters with rioting hundreds

of demonstrators disrupted train services earlier today by blocking the doors of commuter trains it's part of their campaign to pressure the hong kong government into meeting their demands for a more autonomous status relative. to mainland china they take a rush hour and one of the world's most densely populated cities in the subway system commuter chaos. activists have blocked the train doors i. calling for democratic reforms an independence from beijing's rule the protesters hit where it hurts the daily grind of hong kong's economy. not have a meeting at time and this 8 hour off my thing my work and getting to play. our freedom and safety and going to rise and to get away and got caught like some ok with that but i think it's ok because i think if you go all the months with the response to the mom of the city i was the last thing he would authorize

cairo these are. the protests began over 8 weeks ago against a proposed bill that would allow suspects from hong kong to be extradited to mainland china for trial i the bill was shelved but demonstrators are now demanding its complete withdraw. they're also calling for hong kong leader kerry lead to step down and for greater autonomy i lawmakers in europe and the u.s. have weighed in many defending the protesters and saying the police have used excessive force the chinese government said that this was hypocritical i can't annacone you are what if you asked the u.s. police if there were a similar violent attack on the police in the united states in washington d.c. or in new york city how would they respond i think everyone can imagine the scenes

i got to crete sent to. me for me beijing has not addressed the protesters demands for more democracy instead it insists on a return to order and hong kong. that some. city lawmakers have taken the side of the movement saying beijing is out of touch. with the impression of home calm is simply fundamentally wrong if the so far away from hong kong people whose realists intimately was the demonstrators would most likely agree and they seem willing to continue the near daily disruptions until their message gets through. let's get a quick check now some other stories making news around the world in syria opposition activists say that an overnight airstrike on a market in the town of our riyadh has killed at least 4 people and wounded 22 more opposition leaders have blamed the government for a series of deadly strikes over the past 3 that have targeted the rebel held

town. police in panama have seized over 7 tons of drugs including 3 tons of cocaine they put the street value at $70000000.00 no arrests have been made a halt was likely headed toward u.s. markets. and in sweden american rapper ice up has pleaded not guilty to charges of assault the artist was arrested a month ago for alleged brawling while on tour in stockholm the case caught the attention of u.s. president donald trump can try to intervene with the swedish government. alasia has formally installed a new king 6 year old sultan of dolla is the country's 16th monarch is installation come 6 months after the surprise abdication of his predecessor who stepped down after only 2 years malaysia's kings are elected for 5 year terms. authorities in the german city of frankfurt say that the man held on suspicion of

killing a young boy by pushing him under a train on monday is to be examined by a psychiatrist the incident has shocked germany and interior minister horse a haul for has cut short his summer holiday to meet the heads of major security agencies in berlin a memorial service is to take place at frankfurt's main station later today. solemn tributes at frankfurt's main rail station after monday's tragic events witnesses say they saw men pollution each year old boy and his mother in front of a high speed train the mother managed to save herself by rolling into a gap between the tracks her child was fatally struck by the train the suspect also tried to push another woman onto the tracks but failed the events have left many in germany in shock. like i have 3 grown children but the fear is still there. to take the life of an 8 year old child it hurts. frankly it's all full there is nothing more to say horrible for everyone involved all of

a part of the train driver and a family for everyone but for those standing nearby you have to witness this disaster. police said the suspect was a 40 year old man who was born in eritrea and had been living in switzerland since 2006 there were no known links between the man and his victims and his motive was unclear prosecutors said he showed no signs of drug or alcohol use but he would be undergoing a psychiatric evaluation if you touched with your hand of the crime does suggest the possibility of mental illness on this part of the investigation the suspect will be evaluated by a psychiatry to determine whether he can be considered criminally liable for. prosecutors also said they are charging the suspect with murder and 2 counts of attempted murder if convicted he could face life in prison. in our correspondent kate brady has been following the story for us and kate as we've heard germany's interior minister breaking off his holiday to give

a press conference on this incident what did he say. exactly sarah so this press conference this afternoon came after he met with some of germany's top security officials and basically he said that the interior ministry would be meeting with the transport ministry and also top officials from. bonn germany israel provider to see exactly how security can be stepped up at germany's train stations so the interior minister of the mentioned measures for example such as more police presence at germany's train stations and even more video surveillance was something which has been disputed for a long time here in germany particularly previously konstanz and the interior minister also didn't rule out even the introduction of barriers at german train stations. as he also mentioned in the press conference are over 5000 train stations in germany with that are all set up very very differently and is of course that

would be a mammoth task at the moment anyone can get on platforms at german train stations which of course would cost millions to change that so that there would be barriers but a whole civil for the german interior minister said that when it comes to the safety of german citizens of citizens here then there is no price can be put on that the survivors of this attack and those who witnessed it clearly this is a huge trauma how is that situation being handled right now. exactly said the mother of this 8 year old boy she was being treated for a shock yesterday and of course. receive in psychiatric help for a long long time and also the passes by there will be support available to them who witnessed this tragedy and of course we also have to think of the train driver as well who was driving that high speed train as it pulled into frankfurt train

station after that boy was pushed onto the tracks but of course there have also been calls from politicians from various parties including the greens and the and the pro-business f.d.p. here in germany calling for discretion from the public at the moment and also from the media and over in frankfurt many people have been laying wreaths laying flowers to pay their respects to this 8 year old boy who was killed yesterday after he was pushed onto the tracks and as you mentioned that is also a memorial scheduled to take place later today and you know people are really scratching their heads as to why he would have done something like this kate in the press conference we heard a live in earlier as we learn anything more about potential motive and about the alleged perpetrator. well at the moment he hasn't said anything about a possible motive what we do know now is that no arrest warrant was actually already out that being issued by swiss police last thursday and this very same man

who pushed that 8 year old on to the train tracks is also accused of threatening his thank you keith. u.s. president donald trump caused yet another controversy over the weekend by calling the city of baltimore a rat and rodent infested mess critics say the president's remarks were directed at me politician from the city allies of cummings who had slammed the federal government's treatment of migrants some have described trump's remarks as racist views all over solid has been to baltimore on the east coast to hear what citizens are saying about their hometown. the city of baltimore faces many problems and one has been there for many years west baltimore which is prone to crime and violence and where the streets are indicate one of the last homicides happened just here a few days ago with more than 300 people murdered last year there's no doubt that

baltimore is one of the most violent cities in north america but does this make it a rat rodent infested mess president trump says a series of inflammatory tweets from the white house is baltimore slayed us problem president trump calling the city of very dangerous and filthy place worst in the usa and says no human being would want to live there president trump statements are wrong. represent a political attack and a lack of understanding regarding the dynamics of baltimore the dynamics of crime a city with a black population of more than 60 percent some feel insulted by the president's rhetoric but others say there is some truth to what he says he's right about some part as well like others like if you haven't been here you can't really say anything about it especially if you're not helping the city he's right about what

do you think it may be in a way that it but that he says that i get is i think of people who are insulted are absolutely justified in being insulted because he has no idea what he's talking about but that's the case of everything what does it mean what with this attack president trump is taking on some of his most vocal critics congressman elijah cummings who represents parts of baltimore in congress they are human beings. city councilman leon pink katz says trump's attacks on baltimore are above all political gamesmanship a congressman cummings has been doing an exceptional job as he chairs the oversight committee in congress and. the reality is he is and as a result of his work he's shedding light on a lot of issues that are directly respond that the president is directly responsible for and when you retard about a border policy when we talk about the the the treatment of immigrants

a good reason for the president to take on cummings and his congressional district even if that doesn't improve the situation in west baltimore. the united nations is using today to draw attention to human trafficking it's a worldwide problem with more than 40000000 people thought to be trapped in some form of slavery almost half of trafficking victims are women men account for nearly one 5th nearly a quarter are girls and 7 percent are boys more countries are reporting trafficking up from $26.00 in 2009 to 65 last year trafficking is just one aspect of modern slavery victims often and or forced labor in terrible conditions. a steady job with a good salary and a lucrative bonus that's the promise that tempts many indonesian men to leave their

high end and help to see but what they get is this is about and we're definitely going to try least by the indonesian seafarers movement says crew members sleeping on the floor in the cargo hold looking malnourished and exhausted one of them is from a tula. he says he was tricked by an indonesian recruiting agency traffic to somalia and forced to spend 9 months aboard a chinese fishing boat manning the nets and packing fish for 18 hours a day. some . bonding when we didn't catch enough fish or squid we were beaten by the captain. diversity we were beaten a lot i'm still traumatized by it going on with our own well. we're just going to go. on board the crew claim they were given

a choice between going hungry and eating spoiled fish and they didn't even have clean water. in the way our most likely got on the rare occasion we were given fish we could tell by the smell that the fish was already bad after smelling it we couldn't eat it in a daily basis all we got was cabbage and rice with a little salt. and we drank pronunciation of water that we collected from the air conditioner done what i would. from a tool and his crewmates are now back home and they've taken photos and videos to document their experience experts say the fishing industry is riddled with forced labor and it predominantly targets pull workers from southeast asia and. once on board there's no way out for the men and they often mercilessly exploited. a tool and as cremate say thousands of dollars in unpaid wages.

we're going to go what i will try our way for my family so they could be proud of me when i returned home but the reality was different than arkham asylum harker me when i asked the recruitment company for our rights they said you're a stupid idiot we just want to ask for a ride. after working for 7 months out of a problem. numerous n.g.o.s both local and international have run the alarm about the slave like conditions that seem to be commonplace on fishing vessels across the globe but it hasn't stopped men like these from falling into the hands of traffickers. in an aegis ministry of manpower is among other things tasked with the protection of its workers abroad the department head acknowledges the problem but says it's difficult to monitor labor conditions at sea. just starting 1st whether the information about the abused seafarers is true or not . rely on data and facts so we can enforce our actions lawfully.

but as around a tool and his former crew mates know in fact difficult to obtain when you're at sea with no one watching. in the local u.s. financial services company capital one has revealed that the personal information of more than 100000000 people was stolen during a cyber attack the firm says that the data included the names addresses and phone numbers of credit card applicants in canada and the u.s. the announcement follows the arrest of a suspect on monday capital one says the hacker exploited a weakness in its systems let's bring in rob watts who's joining us from g.w. business so what more do we know about this act well this all begins earlier this month went out of the blue an e-mail comes to capitol wong's headquarters saying that someone has been noticed online boasting about having hacked into their

but it's still looking into that it's offered to all of the victims credit monitoring services for free just so that they can check whether or not their information has been used for any nefarious reasons the c.e.o. of capital one says that the company sincerely apologizes for it cause the understandable worry this incident must have been causing those affected and richard says i am sincerely sorry lot of stories to call around we'll see what kind of action that follows up with iraq from the business thank you. a quick reminder of the top stories we're following for you here on d w people have been remembering the 8 year old boy who died when he was pushed under a train in frankfurt in germany authorities say the man suspected of the crime is to be examined for a psychiatric disorder. in russia be to be there's more coming up on d.-day view news asia 12 years in prison china convicts human rights advocates. for
