to send our. foreign tourists or among them. well for the very latest now let's cross over to journalist caruso paramita cheese an auckland new zealand caruso what more can you tell us about the people caught up in this eruption. and yes terry as you know just half an hour ago prime minister just into art and new zealand police wrapped up a joint press conference to answer questions from the press so far 23 people have been rescued from the island including the one who died leading up to possibly $27.00 people currently still on the on white island and out of the $23.00 people rescued most of them suffer from burn injuries and however they didn't want to provide details on the one who was confirmed dead. and the island itself is firmly covered in ash and the authorities are taking x. 45 with regards to the conditions to determine when the search and rescue team can see the access the island. were there any warning signs before the option.

yes there was a warning issued a couple of weeks ago as and earlier a member of the press asked the prime minister on why there are still tourists within the area the prime minister says there will be a time for questions about how appropriate it was for people to be on white island given the heightened alert level but at the moment the focus is on the search and rescue operation activity appears death diminished since the short lived eruption that happened at around 2 pm new zealand time today that was 6 hours ago and ash fall is not expected to reach the mainland in large quantities so this is still a very volatile situation how are rescue services dealing with. there's a search and rescue under way but police can't access the island it's too dangerous to do so. and a local employment service confirmed that they are working with the coast guard and the local health board they had sent one ambulance crew to the island but police

confirmed that currently there hasn't been any communication with anyone still on the island terry crucifying you very much for bringing us up to date those journalist curry's of paramita there in auckland new zealand. the leaders of ukraine and russia are meeting in paris today to talk about the conflict in eastern ukraine it's the 1st time the blood of a putin and the lobby of selenski have met and it's the 1st time in 3 years the talks focusing on ending the war there have been held the meeting will be brokered by french president met a while back called german chancellor angela merkel the conflict began in 2014 and has killed more than 13000 people and displaced more than a 1000000 the worst fighting has been in the dawn bus region from where our correspondent nick connelly sent us this report. close enough to see you know the side having for lunch that's how these ukrainian troops have spent the last few

years just 300 meters from the russian backed separatists facing them so how does that whole night without a single i don't remember day like about maybe on the food a snow weight off the see saw you know it's a strange when this new financial you get old we used to the shooting hoops of some . the conflict may have fallen out of the headlines but the shooting and the death continues less than a 10 minute drive away a young woman out walking with a child was severely wounded by a stray bullet just last week our guide through the trenches on xander was in his 2nd year cadet school when the conflict broke out when he unrolled he could hardly have imagined that he would soon find himself a 1000 kilometers from home fighting a trench war so she was a small everyone is tight of the war has parents wives boards about them back home but if the politicians can sort this out by talking why not if we withdraw from

here it's not a disaster as long as no opponent just the same but only those with which. but off camera many soldiers are more skeptical they don't want to give up territory regain from the separatists at the cost of many lives a presence selenski the government is convinced that only a buffer zone between the front lines can bring peace. it's a short drive from the trenches to one of the region's biggest crossing points between government and separatist held territory thousands make the journey every day spending hours out of the cold. we're hoping for peace after all this time we need to resolve this war it's been 6 years since it all began i'm convinced on buses part of ukraine. i don't understand what madeleine mccann want to do selenski and putin should sit down together drink some thought get together and put all this behind them. with the publicity. and then we need a united ukraine and we need an end to all this. so people don't have to suffer in

these queues anymore the. what if ukraine's biggest cities it's less than half an hour's drive down the road behind me we can't go that the pro russian separatists in control of the city aware e of the foreign press presence lensky was elected earlier this year on a promise to bring down your back to ukrainian government control that's what this meeting in paris is all about. back in the front line it's quiet at least during daylight hours silence allows time to think about the future. i'm not interested in this normandy summit what will happen will happen. this war needs to and i've lost so many comrades already. giving the others some late making peace and that's going to

be to the. repercussions of this war will be felt for years to come it's not just about the minds of grenades deleted this landscape it's about the war in people's heads well the conflict in eastern ukraine is has been going on now for 5 years here to talk about is liana fix she's program director of international affairs at the curb a foundation and an expert on russia and eastern europe thanks for being with us this morning those are we just heard in our report ukraine wants to bring the dawn bus region back under government control how realistic is that. it is very unrealistic in the shot that ukraine will be able to bring the region back and the government could well what we have at least is an agreement on a path for what that is what is called the so-called steinmeyer form that there will be local elections which will be followed by a special status for that i'm. after german president and founder is 9 miles right exactly that's where this formula comes from however this still barely

a lot of questions how this formula will be implemented so 1st of all will this fall going to be implemented under control of the well both sides under government control and international control so that many steps that have to be considered until they can be steps for what which will perhaps in the end lead to the dumbass wheaten coming back to ukrainian control and also the border between ukraine and russia being back under control of the government which is the most important aspect now that the new you can. any and president volodymyr selenski he was elected partly on a promise of bringing peace to ukraine how important is it for him to deliver on that promise it is very important and also he wanted an aliyah summit he wanted the summit already in september so it has been the russian side which has postponed the summit for the landscape wasn't very important that it takes place before the end of this this is part of this company also back home he's facing anti-government protests protest for the 1st time this is not because they demand they demand peace

from selenski absolutely but also because ukrainians are afraid of a capital lation that selenski since he is an inexperienced put it to well make too many concessions to the russian side also his polling weightings have to climb from 70 to about 50 percent so he is and the pressure to deliver concrete was olds now the leaders of ukraine and russia are meeting here of course for these negotiations but germany and france are also part of the talks what's at stake for them that's so interesting because my call is the 2nd you come out in this talks after so for him it's a for the 1st time that he's participating in the nominee from the last film that took place in october 2016 so it's already over to me is my call he was quick with this he already mentioned that he wants some push more with russia in a moggi a political context so he wants to solve the conflict for weapons more with russia on the other hand it to issues from the german side that have to be addressed today and that they can to some to ok so this is a lot about

a lot more than just ukraine the other thank you very much for talking with us this morning leon affix a program director of international affairs at the curb and thank you so much. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today global arms sales totaled $420000000000.00 in 2018 a 5 percent year on year increase according to a report from the stockholm international peace research institute u.s. firms accounted for well over half of all weapons sold but chinese manufacturers were not included in the report due to a lack of. police in india have arrested the owner and manager of a factory destroyed in a blaze that killed 43 people fire in the capital delhi broke out early on sunday as workers were sleeping inside believe the fire was caused by an electrical pole. finland is likely to get its youngest ever prime minister 34 year old son a marine has been nominated by the social democrats to lead the 5 party coalition

good enough they let him go they took his money in stat from then on the peregrina stopped working after sunset we are very scared. when driving on the sea or in the river because you don't know when exactly the coms so sometimes if they are the only way the. they will with all your money so piracy. is a very big problem attacks by pirates is a problem worldwide but especially in the gulf of guinea they are on the rise along the coastline of west africa. because. they want to be there before pirates strike members of the nigerian navy are headed out of their legs headquarters to money toward the sea they are given rare access to accompany them on their daily patrol. we are about politics not to call them out

organizers say 800000 joined the march on sunday all to mark 6 months since the start of mass demonstrations calling for more autonomy but charlotte chelsea phil reports many are too scared to take part in the protests instead they are setting up inventive ways to support those who've lost jobs or family support because of their involvement in the demonstrations. faces hidden location concealed only then with these hong kong entrepreneurs agree to be filmed they've set up an online shopping service which the ports the pro-democracy movement it employs protesters who've been arrested or kicked out of their homes for their part in the demonstrations we want to prove by all the teenagers and everyone involved in this and let them know that it should be proud of what they are doing a problem and we will support them with a career despite being

a world away from the front lines initiatives like this one work in fear the founders all volunteers say being identified could jeopardize their careers perhaps even their safety but with a new born son caleb says getting caught up in violent protests isn't an option. personally i don't have the courage to go into frontline fight with them so i fall back into a backup role and we started filming them know that they're not left behind and the hong kong people are supporting them. with this scheme caleb as among the growing ranks of hong kong is finding inventive ways to support the pro-democracy cause. when you picture the whole kong protests warehouses like this one won't be the 1st thing that springs to mind but it's far from the front lines behind the scenes initiatives like this one that are quietly collectively sustaining this movement

caleb says he hopes one day he and his team won't have to hide their identities and will feel safe to proudly admit the role they've played. charlotte chelsea killed there reporting from hong kong now police in istanbul have forced have used force to break up a protest by several 100 women calling for an end of violence against women 6 women were detained men murder hundreds of women every year in turkey and $2800.00 some $440.00 women were killed by their husbands the protesters accuse the police and justice system of failing to offer protection to women at risk and failing to use the full force of the law to punish the perpetrators. oh. ok oh it's a song and dance about a matter of life or death and it's some bull women to form a protest song that originated in chile pulled a rapist in your past demanding an end to violence against women. that's

a long standing problem in turkey the group we will stop fantasizing counted 440 women murdered in 2018 more than a quarter of east killed by their husbands they say a major problem is turkey's justice system. because a lot of femicide are happening in this country i don't know maybe people just get used to it we cannot see any credible reaction and that's why we are here to raise our voice to say we won't be silent anymore to say we are against these murders and last to be enforced properly. there was women resist all around the world how come they would say this protest is unlawful or this is a crime. let me tell you what is a crime. the crime is not to enforce laws the crime was closing the doors to women asking for help. don't stop the

women stop the murderous they shout as police try to break up the peaceful demonstration of a few 100 people. there aim is to increase pressure on the turkish government tackle the issue. but basically lectured by advocacy groups show that violence against women is on the rise. well much day 14 of the bonus league is in the books now and joining me for the breakdown of the weekend is a limited tuckey from the double your sports so let's start at the top merchant gladbach they beat last year's champions by. over the weekend are they the real deal if you can be. by a new nick and you've consistently stayed at the top of the table for the past 6 to 8 weeks i am surely think that you are in the eyes of many but that said things are still very tied at the top of the tate table. for example as we can see just

has a narrow one point lead over states but take a look at went by and nick as you know what in the nearly half the like scroll down a bit because there they are in place number 7 so they right now would be fighting for a european spot and this also but going back to got back what's so interesting is that at the start of the season we all were talking about the contend us and we are mentioned by an unique door and my safe zone surely have been the surprise package has this season and there's been several reasons for that for one that they have an exceptional coach in ma who was a that they've also have they have so many goal scoring options in the light of to take him on the youth and born or but i think what has been key this season is that the ability to take it one game at a time and i think that we has allowed them to stay focused but they can't also

wanting to dream very big rehear the chance at the games where they starting to sing about the title and why not it's been a very long time the last time that didn't mean that once you get tied it was back in 1977 i wasn't even born back then i don't remember this that's that's all what an exciting time in that particular team let's talk about sunday's match ups and on your own berlin they're having quite a run on thing yeah they are i mean 5 wins in 7 games and 4 straight at home and i think they really need to developing into this team that is really a force to be reckoned with especially when they play on home turf let's see if that was also the case when they faced cologne yesterday at home. and you know in berlin have transformed the study and on to our foster i into a reputed full fortress picking up 12 of their 16 points at home but the traveling heart of cologne fans were optimistic they could but this trend deep in the drop

zone cologne where i'm fellow promoted sign known as potential for rare away points . the visitors looked well on track to deliver for their fans early on cologne for soon young keeper of off the geek of it's to be at his acrobatic best half an hour in. but toppling an yone on their home turf isn't easy with one of the league's leaky it's defenses a barely mark sebastian anderson barreled through colognes back line and ahead of union in front one nil in the 33rd minute with the game settle down as fisher changed little at the half now in cruise control and doubled their lead just 5 minutes after the break after a quick check anderson 2nd of the night and 8th of the season was confirmed to have crossed the line. now down a 2 nil hole marcus is dole's attempt to rally his troops had little impact colognes late stabs at goal weren't worrying anyone. but finished at 2 nil a cold splash of water on the visitors survival hopes another defense of the

fortress has you know unless worried about relegation there's still work to do. if you take your foot off the pedal and think you're safe in the league you start to lose go use them so in that sense we haven't done anything yet. their 4th straight home when put in your own intent far away from the relegation pack for now at least . a fairy tale story there for on your own as newcomers to the bundesliga do you think that they have what it takes to avoid dropping back into the relegation so well terry if you look at the table right now they are in 10th as well they are closer to a european spot and they ought to the relegation zone ya. well look on their performances you know speak for themselves and i think what i find so intriguing and interesting about your own grillin is that they are not intimidated and we saw that in their performances against winning against dr winning a game winning against dortmund and also they put up a big fight against by

a new name so they have the passion they have the hunger i think they coach has been doing a really good job and if they continue on this track i think they'll stake of the relegation zone ok we'll keep an eye on that a limo talkee from v.w. sports thanks so much. in those parts of the world were christmas is celebrated there are only 16 days to go so reason enough for hundreds of santa claus's to take to the ski slopes of maine in the u.s. every year the skiing santas wall and down the slopes of the resort in new reef in aid of a youth education chip. and just reminder of the top story we're following for you today police in new zealand now say 5 people have died in a volcanic eruption at a popular tourist destination a number of people have been injured urgency services say it's currently too dangerous for them to return to the un. for watching news from berlin
