i don't know. if the female makers store stringer issue t.w. . this is you don't any news live from germany hits out at the u.s. this ultra president trump signs off on sanctions against a pipeline that would bring a russian gas to germany look at what washington doesn't want the projects completed also coming up at least 23 people die in violent protests against

a new indian citizenship little muslims say it marginalizes that. and australia struggles to contain catastrophic bush box office origins awarding the high winds the school ching temperatures could lead to even more devastation. i'm at home free glad you could join me germany has objected strongly to new u.s. sanctions against the north stream 2 gas pipeline from russia to germany sanctions target companies involved in the construction of the pipeline which runs on the the baltic sea washington says that north stream too will give russia too much power over europe and it's offering its own gas as an alternative. the gas pipeline has just 300 kilometers to go this signature aims to stop it dead in the water the

new u.s. law imposes sanctions against companies building the pipeline washington says north stream 2 will make germany too dependent on russian energy none of your business says german vice chancellor scholtz. so all these sanctions constitute serious interference in the internal affairs of germany and europe and of our own sovereignty we have ject to them in the strongest terms moreover this behavior is entirely in comprehensible and is not at all appropriate between friends and nato allies. the sanctions target companies like swiss based all sees it operate ships that lay pipelines at sea but because the sanctions could threaten business the company does in the united states its announced its suspending work on north stream too many german politicians are outraged by the american measures deal with the u.s. just wants more markets for their fracking gas they want to force europeans to buy environment damaging fracking again to call for but the government in berlin says

it won't retaliate the next what i'm hundreds we do not want to trade in warm weather on this issue or any other we believe the political differences should be resolved politically and shouldn't contribute to making the trade conflicts worse on this conflict. the consortium building north stream too says construction will continue but finishing the pipeline may now take longer and cost more lives their advice scholz will miss gladys and he had a crystal joins me now in the studio to talk through all of this good to see me so the construction of new what it's ground to a halt for the time being do these sanctions mean that project is off the table to get now and actually very unlikely that u.s. sanctions will stop this project from going at high head overall because it's morse to teach it that it is a technical question at the moment is a swiss company that is simply afraid. to continue any work because of the threat of sanctions and they have specialty ships the technology you can't replace but

what you also can't easily replace is that strategic alliance between germany and russia on this particular point of energy security of energy supplies this is a project that's also been hotly debated within the european union and the united states simply wants to kill it it's unlikely it will do so because it's also a matter of principle even for the opponents that imposing sanctions is simply against international law and how international business is currently done we're talking about matter of principles you know critics say that these sanctions aren't so much about protecting europe from russian influence for example when it comes to the u.s. president instead he wants to make sure that more american gas is sold to europe how much weight would you give to those claims while. it's absolutely clear that the united states wants to sell liquid nitrogen gas and what germany is chide to do and it's getting a lot of criticism from the opposition for right now is to reassure the americans

that it would buy and equipment not to good not just in gas by saying that it will build those terminals and at the same time following the strategy of ensuring gas supply security with russia and the united states is the country upon which simply european security german security depends on and we're actually seeing the issue of security security being mixed up with the overall strategic question of if you're not with us on the issue you clearly are against this so i think this is only the beginning of no longer standoff but potentially more hostile policy not just of this project to follow and on that point i mean it seems that we've now got another issue between germany and the u.s. on the table you know adding to trade for example adding to naysay payments how damaging potentially could this nordstrom to raul be. toward already strained relationship what we heard it from the vice chancellor in that sound bite at the

very beginning it's seen as a rather damaging as an interference criticism is unlikely to get much stronger on the rest of record but off the record we're clearly seeing damage done to the underlying trust between germany and the united states but also europe and the us and to depart from any kind of reliability on that strategically important partner across the transatlantic with a strategic interest stretching so much into economics and how the e.u. how germany towns out it's and the security in the future political as a mechanic and thanks so much for your analysis. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world french holiday travelers off facing major delays as well as cancellations as the nationwide transport strike continues paris rail travel this face long waits for crowded trains with the system running at half capacity transport workers are part of a larger strike pulled over pension reforms. will remain ians have been marking

23 people have been killed in violent protests in india against a contentious new law gives illegal immigrants who have fled religious persecution a chance to apply for indian citizen ship but it doesn't apply to muslims now they're calling it discrimination and a violation of india's secular constitution. these women are some state expressed their objection to the new citizenship law peacefully with a sit in in a field their muslim assamese and they see the legislation as part of a hindu nationalist agenda that may have role deeper discrimination they're afraid . become a minority. government is taking steps that will result in a disappearance of the assamese identity if the assamese people are to not protest our language will disappear here and of course. there are 200000000 muslims in india and an ease about the new law has spread across the country critics of prime

minister narendra modi and his government say making citizenship easier for non muslim immigrants than for muslims undermines the constitution they want to divide the indian society based on religion they want to create a separation and a distance and if. there are fears among the indian muslims that they could become 2nd class citizens in their own country and the rising death toll is police crackdown on protests is only fueling those fears. when i spoke to g.w. correspondent michelle giants one in delhi and ask her to explain the apparent stamina of those protests protestors are coming out in force and they are saying that they will not stop protesting till the government either attracts the act or revive them the truth or put in a clear dialogue that has been violence even though much of these protests have been civil process yes to the airport example many people who lost their lives in

the state of utter rubbish and there are allegations of excessive use of force by the police in new delhi as well there was a peaceful process of the grand mosque i'm almost through the day but in the evening clashes broke out in a muslim majority neighborhood and protesters alleged the police started using a baton charge as well as water cannons against them without provocation the police is appalled denying this best thing that brought us to have started selling setting fire to wear clothes and this is why action was taken but they're looking into the allegations of the police news and too much force and that the government is in fact clamping down on the scent by using internet shutdowns across the country. well that speaking to me earlier well australia's bushfire crisis is going from bad to what crews are struggling to contain the spread of blazes around sydney now a combination of record temperatures droughts and powerful winds has powered the insider at least 8 people have died since the fires began.

the smoking remains of a home after bushfires swept through the area. these residents in new south wales fought the fire as well as they could before firefighters arrived and took over it happened quickly. we saw this mark and file basically rushing towards us over the hill and basically every minute it was probably one of the kilometer. before eventually it just hit a fence and we were pretty much there finding the house off. the fires are some of us trail is most extensive ever they have left 30000 square kilometers of charred land in their wake since october over $800.00 homes have been destroyed several states are affected this blaze was raging in the country's south on the outskirts of the city of adelaide with the forest on fire wildlife have nowhere else to go pushing the animals poster to people's backyards and into their homes record temperatures powerful winds and low humidity are creating the conditions for the

fires to spread presidents say the constant danger is something they've learned to live with. we know is that it's probably only a matter of. days oh wait what we have another catastrophic death. will definitely stop and ready. the sheer scale of these bushfires is pushing fire and rescue services to their limits and the fires are still getting worse. well forbes magazine has published its 2019 list of its richest creators on the video platform you chiva and when you think of who could top that list you probably wouldn't guess that it's an 8 year old kid from texas but that is exactly who it is will hate to tell us more about child that you choose star ryan tangy d.w. reporter. good to see you tell us more about ryan and crucially i guess we ended up

making so much money well i have to admit i mean i'm a little bit jealous of this kid i mean when we were his age we were probably very happy to get some money from our parents doing some you know chores around the house but ryan his $26000000.00 u.s. dollars last year i mean he started out you know and on boxing presents or getting views about toys that expand into a media empire and you know does scientific experiment child friendly scientific experiments with his mother and educational toys and this has all of this is expanding into a brand of a line of toys clothing home goods sold at target wal-mart and amazon even has a spin off television show on nickelodeon and deal with who to repackage his video i mean he has 23000000 subscribers on his you tube channel and i just took a school today and some of the videos i mean all of them are really in the millions

in terms of viewership so quite a quite a resume for an 8 year old is so impressive and nothing against fraud at all but i mean why is he so popular on the cheap i guess specifically what i'm getting at is who is his audience who's watching him while other children i mean experts are saying that you tube is becoming the world's most popular babysitter i mean according to a recent pew research study done this year videos with children in the average almost 3 times as many views as other types of videos from other high subscriber channels so in the same ballpark as ryan's channel and. another study said that 81 percent of parents with children or younger let their kids watch you tube i mean when you see these kids these days i mean they can hold an i pad and log into that out and find their favorite videos within seconds so that's what it is yeah good job brian we should definitely be trying to take some of his tips i think i thank you so much indeed. for the final brindley
