around the world. urgent assistance. emily starts oct any on. this is deja vu news live from berlin concern over u.s. foreign policy after a shakeup in the white house the president trying to hard line national security advisor john bolton is out bolton supported regime change in iran and north korea and oppose negotiating with the taliban exploring what turns u.s. policy might soon be taking also coming up
12:01 pm
a milestone in species rescue scientists confirmed they have created new embryos of the critically endangered more than twice why not no males of the species are still a lot. and staying the course from the economy to climate change and human rights chancellor merkel brushes up criticism and says her government policies are the white plans for germany and the world. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us questions are growing about the direction of u.s. foreign policy now the president trump has fired his national security adviser john bolton had gained a reputation as a hardliner supporting regime change in north korea and iran and opposing trucks negotiations with the taliban to end the afghan conflict the president tweeted that he disagreed strongly with bolton on many issues. john bolton in happier times
12:02 pm
seated at the president signed an influential proponent of a hawkish foreign policy. but his tenure as national security adviser came to an end when trump took to twitter to announce his departure the president tweeted that he strongly disagreed with many of bolton's suggestions prompting trump to ask for his resignation bolton quickly disputed this version of events in turn tweeting that he had offered to resign of his own accord is not the 1st time trump and bolton have disagreed the former advisor stood for a muscular approach to foreign relations a known hardliner he favored military intervention in iran north korea and venezuela but despite his aggressive rhetoric trump often chose diplomacy over confrontation he has met north korea's leader kim jong un and was prepared to strike a peace deal with the taliban in afghanistan. bolton's departure has fueled speculation
12:03 pm
that u.s. foreign policy could mellow further but senior administration of figures cautioned against that idea someone asked what would the policy be different absent any individual being here it is a been the president's policies but i don't think any leader around the world should make any assumption that because someone of us at heart that president trumps foreign policy will change in a material way sanctions designed to pressure iran into concessions over its nuclear program are likely to remain in place. i would say secretary of health and the president are completely aligned that our maximum pressure campaign i think you know we've done more sanctions on iran and anybody and it's absolutely working and you know what even as bolton became the 3rd national security adviser to serve under president trump munition brushed off suggestions that the national security team was in disarray. absolutely not that's the most ridiculous question
12:04 pm
i've ever heard or you have to say that you're right but bolton is unlikely to be the last official to find himself going out of the revolving door of trump's white towns more of the story now with boris fama a professor of politics at bard college here in berlin or thanks for joining us here in our studio we heard the question asked there will foreign policy be any different now with john bolton out of the white house. i think it's a question that's almost answerable because there hasn't been such a thing as a trump foreign policy there's no grand vision behind it or no consistency and there's been a lot of contradiction back and forth so maybe one major change would be a return to moral leadership of the u.s. in the world but it's unlikely for this to happen what we've seen is trump has perhaps one consistency which is it's about domestic politics and he wants to appear as a strong leader and he doesn't tolerate contradiction except his own contradiction
12:05 pm
and that was something that john put me bolton apparently did a lot was contradict the president some say that john bolton actually destroyed that the u.s. national security council system do you think that that is his legacy now live in the white house i mean you could say this but a lot of institutions and political traditions in the u.s. the democratic traditions the separation of powers the 4th estate the media attacks on the media of that we've seen repeatedly it might be that right if there's a reelection perhaps there's an erosion of institutions that is irreversible at the same time perhaps trump is seen as an outlier at some point it's too early to tell really what issue do you think was the one that got in the way the most between john bolton donald trump well i think there were some overlaps between the 2 being strong militarily appearing strong in politics not negotiating trying to see international relations as a 0 sum game i think is something that both of them agreed on maybe that's also the
12:06 pm
reason why it took him and has as his 3rd national security advisor which by the way is the highest number ever for national security advisors in one presidential term but there were contradictions so trump is trying to isolate us and turn away from international relations turn towards domestic politics bolton do the opposite he was very much engaged and asking for regime change. even under george w. bush but now again under trouble one trigger appears to have been these a failed peace talks that would have involved the taliban so afghanistan peace talks that would have involved the taliban possibly being invited to camp david that is something that john bolton was clearly against and in the end the president called off those talks of the last minute was that the tipping point that seems to have been the straw that broke the camel's back it's hard to tell because we have diverging stories emerging on twitter as we speak so we probably will never find
12:07 pm
the exact reasons why that happened but it seems like this was the last sign of him loyalty that trump couldn't bear to have to see where things go from here boris form on a professor of politics at bard college here in berlin thanks for sharing your insights with us. after president trump called off those afghanistan peace talks the taliban vowed to keep on fighting the u.s. reported an explosion near its kabul embassy overnight and across afghanistan there are fears that the failed negotiations will lead to another surge in violence especially head of elections at the end of this month. temblor faith the aftermath of a suicide bombing that claimed 12 lives and killed a country's hopes for peace. just days earlier the u.s. is lead envoy was in the afghan capital to finalize a breakthrough agreement with the taliban. but not going to have their needs met
12:08 pm
months of talks unraveled that day rise of cancer that. such a members of the can family were injured in a separate bombing just last week they survived but like many in afghanistan they're mourning the peace deal. one of his soldiers was killed here and he stopped the peace process saying he doesn't care about the taliban our new hope was peace which doesn't happen now well i think it's what i know is that victims of the taliban's ruthless bombing campaign like in the corridors of kabul hospitals these days there have been 2 attacks this month already local politicians see the talks where their best chance of protecting lives. the majority of the casualties are the civilians without peace i don't think there would be any other way to stop fighting and prevent civilian casualties when you. can. through what
12:09 pm
remains of his home zaki can spare his anger not for the taliban but for the u.s. president who holds all the power. of our attacks happening every day with the death of one soldier trump stop the peace talks wasn't he care about the killing of hundreds of civilians here. for those in the firing line of the taliban's 25 year reign of terror thursday's attack may yet be the costliest. now it's being hailed as a milestone in rescuing endangered species a team of scientists has successfully created embryos of the northern white rhinoceros only 2 females of the african species remain alive the sperm was harvested from male rhinos of the same species the last of which died last year. these are now seen and fed to mother and daughter the last 2 individuals of their
12:10 pm
species in the world the northern white rhino. the last male sedan died last year although the 2 rhino ladies are still very much alive their species will become extinct when they die excessive poaching was their death warrant that and losing their habitat but an international group of scientists hopes to bring the north and white rhino back to life with the help of frozen sperm collected from 4 rhino bulls before their death after years of perfecting the technology the scientists have been able to harvest egg cells from the 2 last female it's a risky procedure. you know almost you have to understand why we would sometimes we operated on blood vessels that a verse big needle can make a hole of 2 millimeters and when such a big blood vessel is split or pierce the animal complete to death that's. done for
12:11 pm
just here. but it all runs smoothly right after the operation and $52.00 when grazing and took a much bath. and the scientists were successful they flew the harvested x. cells to the lab where they were fertilized with the activated sperm cells. isn't it wells be works dream lee happy to say today that we produced to blastocysts from the exiles just these of these are early embryos that i've a very high potential to develop into a baby can from by these a blastocysts these embryos of now been put in liquid nitrogen is and the you one so we've achieved a new life of a new hope for this a she it's noyce lee in lawyer hoffman fifty's art the embryos now need to be
12:12 pm
implanted into a rhino uterus but as you know and fad to are both a sick and can carry a pregnancy to term many mark so the research as have another plan the closely related 7 white ryan know is i'm are abundant species the plan now is to implant the embryo in a southern white rhino surrogate mother but they have to move quickly now jean end fad to might not be able to give birth but the right no baby would still need them this isn't the tunisian than nor than white ryan a it's of i'm a must pass on their knowledge of how a nor them white rhino it behaves to that all spring on well that's the time fresh i wear on thus hype talk with the researchers are still working on the implantation procedure for this southern white rhinos but they hope to bring is small northern why dry no baby to life in the next 3 years right let's get more context on the story now we have sebastian dicko with us from he's the s. them sell core director at the max delp look center here in berlin sébastien thanks
12:13 pm
for joining us swelling so is this really a milestone how significant is this us scientifically we believe it's william milestone and rescuing this critical endangered species is because that's for for the 1st time that we were able to extract embryos on not i'm dress acts from a living and animal and use frozen sperm to create new me am real bitch be now can plant in to know surrogate mothers and with the hope together and you call a life one any time soon ok so this is a new step what have we learned from this process is this a viable way to save species that are in danger of going extinct so we like to see it as a blueprint which we maybe can also use for other extinct or nearly extinct species like the young. rhino or someone trying rhino so that's why it was really important for us to show that in principle we can go the whole way and produce. will embryos
12:14 pm
so the idea is this would create a new population of this northern whiteman asuras so that would be one step to create a new population but obviously with only 2 females on the ground it would be a little bit difficult to you know create a stable population so therefore we use or we try to use also more on stem cell technology to produce additional whole sites from stem cells derived from skin cells from specimens which we have frozen and liquid nitrogen ok so that's another approach using stem cells to and that would sensibly build a healthy sustainable population so that's the hope we tried to use to track system so one would be to harvest the all sites which are present right now still using 2 females and the other way would be to use material which we have frozen to reprogram them for cells and then differentiate them to. sperm.
12:15 pm
maniac now so focused and then to you know increase the genetic pool which we have in this population ok we're talking about very complex processes here why is it important to save the northern white rhino. i think it's a man made extend extinction so it's not that this is part of it would. what we're seeing it's like a false extinction and i think it's all duty to do anything about it if we have the chance and if we have the techniques to you know save this amazing animal that's an important message to the stem cell corps director at the max center in berlin thank you for joining us thanks for having me. let's get around to some other stories making news around the world scotland's highest court has ruled that british prime minister boris johnson's decision to suspend parliament is unlawful the decision
12:16 pm

12:17 pm
on where he should be buried. chance on the america's government is presenting its proposed budget for next year in parliament today the far right alternative for germany party opened the debate by saying that america was forcing the country into recession by killing jobs with stricter environmental standards and the costs of uncontrolled uncontrolled migration chancellor merkel said germany wanted to lead the fight against climate change but at methods of the country faced major challenges in the world. and our chief political correspondent linda crane is standing by for us at the german parliament where the debate is underway hi melinda the opposition a.f.d. as we said came out swinging today saying the government is pushing the country into recession tell us more about that. indeed she said that the governments as she called them crazy climate and energy policies amount to
12:18 pm
a quote unquote a monstrous d. industrialization program for germany and she also accused the government of using those same policies to destroy the auto industry the chancellor nonetheless also came out swinging and she made it very clear that climate protection is one of her 2 top goals the other bringing germany up to date on digitalisation in terms of climate she said this is absolutely an enormous feat for all of mankind to stop greenhouse gases and climate change and she said that while yes indeed it will cost a lot doing nothing would cost much much more that very much a message intended directly for that right wing party the f.d.a. which includes a number of climate design deniers she made it very clear she said climate change absolutely is caused by human beings and we industrial countries have done the most
12:19 pm
to cause it and therefore we must step up 1st to stop it so a very very clear commitment there from the chancellor to climate protection some would say she's come to religion late but certainly she made it clear this is her top priority for her remaining time in office it wasn't just the climate protection melendez she was talking about she also came out to clearly stand behind her core principles let's listen to what she said. the european union was founded as a multilateral project based on the lessons from europe has to push from outside actually some around the world even if that idea is under increasing pressure that is our responsibility and germany has to take a leading role and that no country in the world can solve its problems on and. and if we are all competing against each other we will not win but i believe it could be a win win situation if you actually get there. some will and of the chance of their
12:20 pm
talking about germany's role in europe why did she choose to speak about this now this was essentially supposed to be a debate on the budget. well the debate on the budget is generally a time of scrutiny not only for the budgets of particular ministries and the chancery itself but of government policy as a whole since there is a very clear connection there and she has a strong commitment to multilateralism as you mentioned she took us on quite a tour of the hot spots ranging from breck's it to iran syria and she had a few very important words to say about relations with the united states she said it is no longer self evident that we can rely on the u.s. for protection particularly in the area of security and defense and she said that germany stands by its approach to security issues which she called a systemic or networked one in which for example development policy aims to get at
12:21 pm
the root causes of conflict is as important as other strictly security measures but she said she also knew that the world is expecting more from germany in terms of security spending and she said it does intend to meet its commitments that said that one must know that the budget that has been presented by the finance minister does not give the defense ministry all that it was looking for in order to meet its commitment to nato she also emphasized very strongly the need for germany and for europe to do more in the world saying that she intends to work closely with the new incoming head of the european commission who is the former german defense minister to make sure that both fulfill that role. all right our chief political correspondent and a great crane at the german parliament for us thank you very much. now they have fled deadly violence become refugees in
12:22 pm
a foreign country and have been forced into prostitution they're among the 700000 refugees they now live in sprawling camps in bangladesh their lives are already grim refugees are not allowed to work and depend on food handouts some women there have turned to the sex industry others are lord abroad with promises of jobs and marriage only to end up in prostitution has this exclusive report from the bangladeshi city of cox's bazar. in the world's largest refugee camp in bangladesh the life for women and children is particularly difficult. this woman fled from me and mom with her 3 children and husband after their village was burnt down 2 years ago. my husband left me and my children after we came here and it was difficult for me to make ends meet
12:23 pm
i didn't have any other option. any other option that is going to work as a prostitute now when she gets the cool she travels to the neighboring towns outside of the refugee camps. there is no other job i can do myself i can't do anything else if i remarried my new husband would take care of me but not my children. that it's impossible to say how many reading the refugees end up in the sex trade here many are as young as 14 according to local n.g.o.s thousands of women are trafficked across bangladesh and even abroad lured by false promises of jobs and marriage. we wanted to gauge how widespread the problem really is in the. tourist town of cox bizarre roughly 40 kilometers from the camps we got in touch with
12:24 pm
a pimp who posted to have several rainbow women on call. hello. show you some girls and if you like them you can take them if not you can read. oh ok see you in an hour. a bit later our reporter meets the man at a prearranged point and gets into an auto rickshaw with him while we follow behind a reporter is secretly filming the entire encounter. first stop is a hotel which serves as a brothel to begin with the manager seems suspicious and denies having any prostitutes then he shows us pictures of a few women on his phone none of them seem to be wrecking. around 10 pm the pimp sends a rectangle woman to our hotel she's too scared to talk to us when we reveal we're
12:25 pm
journalists because she's worried the hotel might tell the pimps but she confirms she is a 23 year old wrecking a refugee she says she is a victim of her circumstances. back at the camp the sex worker we met earlier tells us they are not allowed to work and there have been several police raids on hotels doubling as brothels she herself was recently released from jail. the us only the now let me know if i can find any other way to make money i'll have to go back to this work if i do i might get arrested again. but she's likely to take that risk again because for now she doesn't have a choice. and faced with such a bleak future writing the women remain easy prey for the pimps and traffickers.
