4:05 pm
very liberating. part that you played you know. about the struggle against colonialism some view him as a dictator a little later years. because of your rights record was and you know. voices but of course what remains even if you goes today it is those iconic qualities of being a leader that led to the struggle and ins in zimbabwe. on a privileged very right there on the tarmac will be a plane carrying the body of the former leader robert mugabe has just arrived in harare thank you so much privilege. the questions are growing about the direction of u.s. foreign policy now the president trump has fired his national security advisor john
4:06 pm
bolton had gained a reputation as a hardliner supporting regime change in north korea and iran and opposing trust negotiations with the taliban to end the conflict in afghanistan the president tweeted that he disagreed strongly with bolton on many issues. john bolton in happier times seated at the president's side 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 and known hardliner he favored military
4:07 pm
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 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 of been the president's policies but i don't think any leader in the world should make any assumption that because some one of us of hearts that president trumps foreign policy will change in a materialized sanctions designed to pressure iran into concessions over its nuclear program a likely to remain in place. i would say secretary of and myself and the president
4:08 pm
are completely aligned on our maximum pressure campaign i think you know we've done more sanctions on iran and anybody and it's absolutely working and you're wrong even as bolton became the sort of national security adviser to serve under president trump brushed off suggestions that the national security team was in disarray absolutely not that's the most ridiculous question i have ever heard are you going to say that this entire united but bolton is unlikely to be the last official to find himself going out of the revolving door of trump's white house more on 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
4:09 pm
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 and that was something that john portman bolton apparently did a lot with 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 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
4:10 pm
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 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 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
4:11 pm
that john bolton was clearly against and in the end the president called off those talks at 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 probably will never find the exact reasons why that happened but it seems like this was the last sign of in loyalty that trump couldn't bear to have to see where things go from here porous form on a professor of politics that part college here in berlin thanks for sharing your insights with us well 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 ahead of elections at the end of this month. to september 5th the
4:12 pm
aftermath of a suicide bombing that claimed 12 lives and killed a country's hopes for peace. just days the u.s. is lead envoy was in the afghan capital to finalize a breakthrough agreement with the taliban. but not going to have then these months of talks unraveled that the dead rise i'm concerned that that. such a members of the khan 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 and he stopped the peace process saying he doesn't care about the taliban our new hope was peace which doesn't happen now 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
4:13 pm
best chance of protecting lives. the majority of the casualties the civilians without peace i don't think there would be any other way to stop fighting and prevent civilian casualties. wading through what remains of his home zaki can spare not for the taliban but for the u.s. president who holds all the power. there are 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. let's check in now on some other stories making news around the world u.s. president trump has been marking the 18th anniversary of the 911 terror attacks
4:14 pm
that killed nearly 3000 people he and 1st lady malani a trunk welcome to victims' families and survivors at the white house where they took part in a moment of silence. north korea's state run television has broadcast pictures of its leader kim jong un overseeing the testing of a multiple multiple rocket launcher the launch took place only hours after the north offered to resume nuclear diplomacy with the united states. pro-democracy activist joshua wong has urged germany not to turn a blind eye to hong kong speaking in berlin he called on the government to suspend trade negotiations with china and hong kong long term his foreign minister heikal moss on monday beijing has summoned the german ambassador to the foreign ministry to protest that meeting. and former indonesian president has died at the age of $83.00 his presidency was the shortest in modern indonesian history but his legacy was significant be introduced many democratic reforms that allowed an independence

4:16 pm
supreme court so i would say we have to continue to watch this space but it's it's definitely a story that's ongoing that's moving our correspondent with the latest for us in london thank you in germany parliament's annual budget debate broadened into a survey of the world's challenges and how the country should help tackle that chancellor angela merkel came under scathing criticism from germany's far right opposition but she kept to her message that there is one principle that triggered by policymakers today. drew the big picture to begin her speech insisting on the in parton's of multilateralism she took aim at the far right and populist both near and far. no country in the world can solve its problems on its own if we are all competing against each other we will not win i believe it could be a win win situation if we work together and that has to be more. populist

the distant future so when. counter this attack citing scientific studies proving that global warming is man might and insisting that germany has a responsibility to future generations then. think emotions are moving forward with climate protection will cost money this is money well spent if we ignore it i'm convinced it will be more costly than doing something now because it's been good. whether it was climate change or digitalisation we actually had one solution for the why dry. jeff germany's challenges it's easier to solve problems with others then alone. now it's being hailed as a milestone in rescuing endangered species a team of scientists has successfully created embryos of the northern white nasserist only 2 females of the african species remain alive the sperm was harvested from male brain knows that the same species the last of which died last

a big blood vessel is split or pierce the animal complete to death. just here. but it's already smoothly. right after the operation now gene and fats who went grazing and took him up. 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 well it works dreamily happy to say today that we produced 2 blastocysts from the exiles. these are early embryos that have a very high potential to develop into a baby from but these are blastocysts these embryos have now been put in liquid nitrogen and so we've achieved a new life of
4:21 pm
a new hope for this species noisily in lawyer hoffman fifty's art the embryos now need to be implanted into a rhino uterus but as you know in fact 2 are both sick and can't carry a pregnancy to term anymore so the researchers have another plan the closely related southern white rhino is a more abundant species the plan now is to implant the embryo in a southern white rhino surrogate mother but they have to move quickly now you know in fact you might not be able to give birth but the right no baby would still need them. in their northern white rhinos of and they must pass on their knowledge of how a northern white rhino behaves to the offspring and. that's the time pressure where on the talk. the researchers are still working on the implantation procedure for the southern white rhinos but they hope to bring a small northern white rhino baby to life in the next 3 years. to
