hello i'm christine well welcome to the program germany's foreign minister has warned israel that its plan to annex ots of the occupied west bank would break international i call mosque was speaking in israel just weeks before the new israeli government plans to make the move. first on the agenda months and his israeli counterpart gabi ashkenazi signed an agreement on the german government providing funding for the holocaust memorial yog beacham. germany is a staunch ally of israel but the relationship has been overshadowed by israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu whose planned anik sation of the jordan valley and settlements across the west bank land the palestinians claim for their own state which it was with the german government and colleagues in the
8:02 pm
european union have serious concerns that the annexation could make it impossible to achieve a 2 state solution we think this would be the room way to go for the parchin route . the e.u. has considered imposing sanctions against israel if the annexations go ahead germany is unlikely to take such tough measures but the llyn takes over the rotating presidency of the e.u. next month and so must must come up with a common strategy in the e.u. palestinian prime minister mohammed called on germany to maintain a hardline with israel you know how sensitive this issue is war for germany well listen but others that our senses should not come back spread over government and a lot this should not come at the expense of the but as you know why it's palestinians have warned they'll proclaim a palestinian state if israel goes ahead with the annexation. to tell you claim is interesting for us on the story hello tenure has heikal mas

germany's foreign minister as specified whether germany would try to prevent a planned any station off parts of the west bank. but it was the 1st meeting here for both foreign ministers to me then i think the german foreign minister used this opportunity to stress that germany alongside other e.u. countries is very worried about the israeli plans to possibly annex parts of the occupied west bank and he also stressed that this is not compatible to international law so i think you tried to strike here a very delicate balance he said it came as a friend on the one side stressing that germany's historical commitment to israel but also its commitment to international law and what's been the reaction among israeli politicians to remarks. well i
8:04 pm
think his commons have been perceived here as a warning but as a friendly warning because it was also noted that he stopped short of detailing possible consequences or reactions that might go beyond statements if israel goes ahead with its plans at the same time he also stressed the german foreign minister he stressed that you know he is not coming here to threaten anybody but to keep a dialogue open possibly pushing for negotiations but that seems quite a bit far off because negotiations between israelis and palestinians have not been happening for a very long time now tony you talked about consequence is how much influence does germany have and how much weight does it have in all of this what does this voice mean to people in israel. well i think on the one
8:05 pm
hand he has good relations to both the palestinians and also to israel but also on a regional level and the foreign minister also travels to jordan on this short trip on the other hand germany will take over the presidency of the council the european council as well as the presidency of the u.n. security council from the 1st of july and that's the key date here after. israel could start acting legislation to annex parts of the occupied west bank so they will definitely have to deal with that but having said that we heard also today the foreign to israeli foreign minister gabi ashkenazi saying that this will be all done of course in coordination with the u.s. and the u.s. administration in this case so there is of course the big question how much political leverage the e.u. actually has other than that they probably will not most countries so not recognize
8:06 pm
such a move by israel all right. thank you. now a look at some of the stories making headlines german officials have confirmed that they've been officially notified of u.s. plans for a partial withdrawal of american troops stationed here up to 15000 u.s. soldiers could be pulled out of germany. almost off. the u.s. secretary of state will investigate complaints of a police abuse of foreign news crews in american cities several countries say police attacked a journalist cheering black massive protests offices fired rubber bullets at a deal news crew and many after this. morning is have been paying tribute or their last respects to president he had been csa the government says he died of a heart attack and was said to step down in all get stopped a 15 years and paua mocked by repression and in this ng or violence.

8:09 pm
called south africa's apartheid regime gruesome that led to many conspiracy theories about foreign involvement in the murder this is one of the biggest police investigations in the world it's often compared with the assassination of j.f.k. and even also with a lot can be bombing. and if we look to sweden then of course it is by far sweden's biggest criminal investigation ever the mystery may now be over though it comes to late fall upon this wife liz but by his side during the shooting she died 2 years ago never knowing the true identity of the husband's killer. and i'm now joined by correspondent christian banker he is install a christian so why are the prosecutors social offical is identity. well we have to say its motives they found strong motor sport the final evidence
8:10 pm
the weapon used that night over 30 years ago is still not found. this person in sweden called the scandium and was there that night when palmer was shot he talked to the police who gave interviews and surprisingly he even joined and reenactment of what he saw that night so the police had him right there but it took so long to now finally come to the conclusion well the motives are strong it has to be the scott and the a man ok some gory stuff there but it's tell us more about all of the he he was loved by many but he also had a lot of enemies. this is very typical for a swedish prime minister he involved himself a lot barry outspoken sometimes very rough he was loft the suites but also they have been enemies or heavy critics he involved himself in the vietnam war
8:11 pm
he involve himself in the south african apartheid regime. in sweden he built up welfare. state so there has been a lot of critics also at that time. that the public case remains unsolved full for 34 years the suspect died 20 years ago why has it all taken so long. well even the swedes have to admit there has been a lot of mistakes the prosecutors the mistakes for example the bullets that couldn't have been found by the police themselves it was normal people grabbing the bullets from the streets so no d.n.a. evidence could ever been taken from the bullets. a lot of strange theories went around books have been written movies have been made but never. a real
8:12 pm
conclusion the prosecutors did not so good job in the new prosecutor who worked on that case he's new on the job for 3 years now he turned around every stone and he came out to the conclusion and he said this case for him is closed. and do you know if this this this identified killer x. it alone. it is assume that is alone he was alone but you can't hakim anymore but because he killed himself 20 years ago that's the sad part of the story so i would say the truth can never be found in this case and i would say also that the swedes wouldn't come to arrest in this case the. prosecutor stopped work now but i wouldn't say that the story has fallen and today

i thank you thank you. the german government is investing 9000000000 years to become the number one in green hydrogen technology according to a new strategy paper ministers of beijing the st mihiel energy can both reduce carbon emissions and the economy. is a huge commitment in germany's efforts to become a clean energy economy by seeking to lead the world in hydrogen energy generation. cream or should we rather take energy system transformation and climate protection to a new qualitative level and we can do this by using hydrogen or more precisely green hydrogen in energy production and energy he's very good for the hydrogen is already used in power plants and vehicles but most of the fuel is sourced from natural gas a process that releases a lot of carbon dioxide green hydrogen is extracted from water although it can be

a very energy intensive process hydrogen is easier to store the other renewable energy sources and now the german government is committing to building power plants that would provide 5 gigawatts of power by 2030 that's the same amount of power as 2000 industrial wind turbines i would make up 10 percent of germany's total electricity capacity. germany's efforts in green power have faltered reasonably opening a new coal plant to plug the energy gap perhaps hydrogen could reenergize the country's transition to a greener future. britain's prince philip turns 99 today instead of racing in private the prince who has been married to queen elizabeth for more than 70 is a small can used to stay at winds a causal that's to the west of london he and the 94 year old monarch have been isolating they joining the throne if i struck down phillip son prince charles and his grandson prince william both wish him a happy birthday of
