[000:00:00;00] ah, ah ah, this is dw news life from berlin a moment of high stakes diplomacy at a time when us russian relations are at their lowest in years. us president joe biden is in geneva to meet russia flood and we're putting the talks are expected to be 10 and expectations are low, but can they deliver any areas of agreement also coming up the slimy, floating mass of cease not that a threatening marine life and the fishing industry off the coast of turkey critic

say the government's cleanup efforts have come to late that brutal world of human traffic. if we meet one of the nigerian women forced into prostitution in italy, she escapes, put thousands like her remain trapped in a vortex of violence and exploitation. on the europe football championships, france fan celebrate their teens victory over germany in their opening match. ah, i'm see me so much gone to thank you for joining us. us president joe biden and his russian counterpart flooding recruiting will meet for talks in geneva as relations between the 2 countries. hit a low point. now by an arrived in this were city saying he was ready for a tough encounter with the russian president. he has promised to fet clear red

lines between washington and moscow. but says he hopes there will be areas for cooperation. the summer will be put in by the 1st face to face meeting as leaders, and is expected to last for several hours. let's get the latest on the star. we have t w's alexander phenomenon covering the summit for us in geneva. and your rosetta was standing by in moscow. welcome to you both, alexander, let's start with you there in geneva. so talk to the big points on the agenda today . there is a full range of pressing issues on the agenda. according to the white house you asked president joe biden wants to talk about most coast aggressive actions in ukraine. he wants to call out russia for human rights abuses. dad, poisoning of the positions leader, i'll explain nevada. but i think when the leaders come together at the villa ground right behind me,

it's cyber security. that will be at the top of the agenda. there has been a few significant, far reaching cyber attacks in the u. s. a. lately, some of them having rush and fingerprints on them one targeted america's biggest fuel pipeline. so the u ass once russia to do more, to better to deter such a text from within its waters. well, you know, i was under just a few months a week ago we saw the u. s. president say when he was asked that let me put in is a killer. he's talking about drawing red lines in this meeting. so how tense do you think the summit is going to be? well, the fact is that the relations between the 2 countries are at the very low point. and you as president joe biden, he has made clear that he wants to be tough on russia. however, my impression is that he's also interested in lowering that temperature a notch or 2 and white house officials told us that the main goal here is to find

areas where both sides can work together on climate change. for example, on solving international crises in libya, for example, or in syria. and the big question of course is whether or not to be put in will play alone. you're that brings us to you there in moscow effort, perhaps to, to bring temperatures down a bit. i mean, we know that president biden will confront president who with these allegations that russian hackers have been behind these big cyber attacks. so from your perspective there in moscow, how contentious do you think this is going to be while some pretty contentious. i think about some progress could be achieved as a valid response because half of the some, it's both moscow and watching have already made some steps that might seem unusual against the backdrop of tension. in recent years, they've tried to smooth some of the sharp edges of the relationship, avoid unnecessary signals, so that could escalate to the situation. and they even changed already. what could

be called some kind of complement. the american president sat that he is that he perceives his russian colleague at the board arrival and let me put in here in moscow for his spot, spoke very positively about biden's team, praising them for their professionalism. in an interview interview. when asked about cyber attacks against us and to the possible expedition to the united states ration, heck of have commit that the vote about tax. president putin admitted in an interview . it was a possibility. once appropriate agreements have been reached with washington, that was a kind of signal to the white house indicating the cram. it's good to bill enter it and that's for dial. look at this point and you just quickly, what do you think preston put in wants to get out of this meeting? a direct direct dialogue between the 2 man. that's exactly what the russian president said he wants to establish russian american relations are probably already as a last born. since that they call up some of the soviet union from here, they can only get better. also both sides a warrant against high expectations to steal the importance of this meeting

shouldn't be underestimated. the main thing now is to try to start salvaging relations from their current level and prevent a direct possibly aren't the glass between the 2 nuclear countries. such a scenario, assume it has become more and more l. this to give him some way things have developed in recent years. first of all, because the russians, united states had stopped talking altogether and stage not reached even during the cold war. and both sides probably have a weak understanding of where the so called so called red lines on those lines that shouldn't be crossed under any circumstances. so he and moscow they convinced that neither of the 2 presidents will shake hands for just for the record which wants to achieve results even the was that only means resuming the bilateral bilateral dialogue. under today's conditions, even that would be a lot our correspondence theory receptor there in moscow, alexander phenomena in geneva. thank you. now the tensions between the 2 presidents meeting in geneva sentence sharp contrast to the cordial talk that joe biden had in

brussels recently with nato. and he, you, leaders on tuesday the, you and us announced the truth or the air bus boeing a trade dispute, which will lead to the suspension of billions of euros in terra biden. also now to reset of washington's agenda. we are never fully that research is overwhelming. the interest rate ok, let's talk about this now with david mcallister, he said german member of the european parliament from chancellor michael c. d u party. and he is the chairman of the european parliament foreign affairs committee . good morning to you, mister mcallister. let's take a look 1st at this breakthrough in this era. air bus, boeing trade dispute. how significant do you think that is for this transit

learning reset or good morning from brussels? i think this was a very positive visit. the u. s. president to europe until now. first of the g 7 summit in england and the native summit and then the height of the e u. u. s. meeting and clearly the united states, back the trans atlantic alliances back on the trans atlantic relations of crucial importance for us in the european union. i'm the 2 main pillars, our security and defense on the one hand on trade, on the other hand. and if we now managed to solve this dispute, which has been keeping us busy for nearly 20 years, and that is certainly a good positive step in the right direction. i hope the steps can follow in the next years. okay, so the broad strokes are there, but are you disappointed that we didn't see the by the ministration, scrap of those terrorists on steel and aluminum that still remain the what i would very much welcome about these topics will also be scrapped. this is

especially important for the german steel and alan minium industry. but we're not there yet, but let's keep working on them. and now working groups are being established on trade, on technology. and this is exactly what it's all about. we need to unleash the potential. we have the e u m, the united states together form or would form the largest economic market in the world. mister counter, i want to look forward to the summit in geneva today with you, president biden meets, let him put in as we've mentioned. and he said he has clear red lines. do you think that president biden would have more success? setting those spread lines than the european union has the, even the united states share the same analysis of the situation in russia. we consider russians aggressive behavior as a threat to euro, atlantic security and the native communicate. the native statement of monday was

very clear on russia. and i think it's a very good step about the united states president is actually meeting his russian counterpart. the simple fact that this meeting is taking place is already positive news, but indeed we have to low right spec patients. i think it will be important that the president biden makes it very clear about as long as the kremlin continues this in acceptable behavior. we just simply cannot return back to the normal relations we had before. 2008. but do you think president biden will have an easier time standing up to report and then the you have well, we're in this together, the united states and the european union because his allies in the world were together in nato. and the united states president knows that he has the backing of his european allies, the united states and russia, the 2 most important nuclear powers in the world. and that's why i believe it's

important that despite all the differences we have that the 2 presidents are actually meeting face to face. how to do fresh is clear on the one hand determines on the other hand, dialogue we need a pragmatic approach. but we have to be very, very principled, and we will not accept what russia has been doing in recent years, and this clearly has to change. this is the message president biden will convey to president putin, and rightly so. one more question on dialogue, mr. mcallister, some argue that russia is no longer interested in dialogue with the european union because it sees european union as out sourcing security to washington. do you should i concert we in the european union and we in europe have to share our responsibility. we have to do more for our own european security and defense. this has been agreed within nato. i am very much for

a closer corporation to european level bucks our activities around security and defense should never be in competition with nato, or against nato. it's about strengthening the european pillar within the native framework, so i would always say we want to remain, we need to remain transatlantic. but on the other hand, we need to become more european. also in deterrence towards russia. david mcallister, members, european parliament, chairman of the foreign affairs committee. thank you for joining us. thank you too . bye bye. let's get to run up some other headlines now. israel has launched air strikes on the gaza strip, the 1st military flare up since last month's cross border fighting. the israeli military says it asked targets in response to incendiary balloons, launch from the palestinian territory authority, say the balloons calls around 20 fires in open fields. socialist candidate paper

off the coast of the symbol. the so called sees not in science speak. marine usage is produced by some of the slime, has been spreading for weeks, thriving on warm temperatures and pollution. it's a man made disaster cuz i could do the seas not is very difficult to grab, hold off this stuff so slimy. it slipped through your hands and back into the water, parts of a new volume. it's really revolting. an aerial view illustrates the extent of the environmental crisis. carpets is mucus along the coastline, clocking ports and beaches, as well as affecting the sea of mall moran and the metropolis of a stumble. the slime has also taken over parts of the adjoining a g and and black seas. it's

a threat to the local fishing industry. and swimming is now impossible in many places in china and i had heard of the thief note, but now i can see how bad it really is. i tried swimming with there is less of it, but my skin still felt a chill cushion. that number one just to make sure that we usually come surfing here every week. but now we are really worried that we have to go farther out because the slime is all over the shore, which restricted against authentic. i've been diving here for 10 years, but i've never seen a natural disaster like this. there was seen not when i was a child, but it was never as bad as the kids. though the turkish government has recently started to tackle the problem. the environment minister launched a massive clean up operation. dressers are pumping out the slime and work is

a bringing the muck assure for disposal. it looks like an impossible task, and many experts say it's already too late. you know, none of them are yet what we see on the surface is very worrying. but it's just a tip of the iceberg. the real problem is under the water. this is where the slime is spreading, and it's getting worse every week. after that as the last few months. marine biologists like most of a sudden say, the scourge of cease not is not just a turkish problem, but a storm warning to the world that climate change is pushing our planets life support systems to the brink. for its victims, it is physically and mentally traumatizing and sometimes deadly for criminal gangs . people trafficking is highly lucrative. the main smuggling roots around the world or through latin america, the mediterranean and asia gangs often coerced their victims into prostitution or

forced labor in the service industries. in recent weeks, police have been cracking down on the $150000000000.00 black market, and the meeting of the alliance against trafficking in person says, the only way to stop it is to try to stamp out the demand for cheap sex des young philip shots went to italy on the trail of the nigerian mafia. he spoke to traffickers and to some of the women they trafficked. the scenes could have been found at countless industrial areas in italy, on any given night, young nigerian women working the street. almost none of them of their own free will . at rome, central station we meet david. he says he was a member of the nigeria mafia until he witnessed the brutal murder of a woman forced to work as a prostitute called the split into pieces. then we'll package it. so for example, if you have 10 people that know the dead body,

you can one killer one killer, because one killer, everybody will dispose it. you can never tell the person you can never have the person again. the president is missing, is gone. one of the nigerian murphy as basis is said to be the southern italian village of tour. no. often nigeria, madame, is in charge of a group of young women behind her, a well organized network of violent operatives smuggling young women from africa to europe. juliet or sabo arrived in italy, a boat, a migrant boat 4 years ago. she saw 1st hand how the human traffic is and the madams operate. the be the go like. are you ready to pay? had them on the notes and in the guess is no, i'm tired. i don't want to do this walk anymore and continue to be go. no food,

no water. the loved the girl inside the room for 4 days on to the able to call. ha, juliet managed to escape the traffickers and found refuge at a women center for migrant. she believes most women like her full victim before they even leave their home. countries want to defy their right smugglers. you young women to europe with lies and promises on arrival. they're told they are thousands of years in debt and have to pay it off. said key on that pharaoh is an advisor to the anti murphy, a commission in the italian parliament. he says the italian state now treats the nigerian matthew the same as the italian mob. yes, they are my son that the code law for 16 be so they have a structure like matthew. so the code of silence violence, intimidation, psychological pressure, ravine and son in some ex mafia. a member,

david says the nigerian groups are now operating right across europe and they all have one thing in common violence. he shows us a gruesome video of men beating a woman. david says she refused to work on the street so they tortured her to death . most of them were ghost. they are not registered. nobody knows about the government unless we are here. you don't have the committee, don't have anything. so it did die is very difficult for the government to know that be split in half. the recent juliet has since been registered with the for a teeth. she now has a visa and a job at a local restaurant. but you know, she's one of the lucky ones. as long as there's a demand for cheap 6, the my fear will keep exploiting young women and then search for supposedly better life will continue to end on the st. in south africa, thousands of fortune seekers have made their way to a small village in the hope of finding diamonds. they were prompted by an amateur digger,

reportedly finding one of the valuable jen stones. although it is still unclear if it really was a diamond. rush comes to south africa, struggles to get its economy back in order with a pandemic making a difficult situation. even worse. oh, there, pouring in from around the country with small village and the province of quite natal. what they are looking for, diamonds, women, men, young, old. a few days ago, a shepherd discovered a stone in the field there, which he believed to be a diamond. the news spread like wildfire many now hope to find some of the precious gems themselves to improve their desperate life. because then that means our lives will change because no one had a proper job. i do our jobs and when i returned home with them, my family was really overjoyed how, what does it go? good. what are those i hadn't seen or touched the diamond in my life? it's my 1st time touching it here. i hope this will make a difference. at home because we're really struggling,

so i hope things will be better to learn about almost as well. this will really help the community. we hope crime will come to an end, especially claims against women. because the, you know, all these things because of unemployment bustle ever went inside though it still uncertain that the stones are really diamonds, they're being traded unsold, south africa is rich, and diamond reserves, and fines, like the shepherds have revealed huge treasures in the past. now the mining authority is sending experts to the site to collect and analyze samples. but before that can happen, the damage seekers have to leave the to the european football championships, germany hosted world cup champ, france, and in the end it was decided by an own goal, much homeless, deflected to pass into his own that. and that was all france needed. they had to go taken back on all side calls,

but they still got the victory. one no. and jonathan craig from d. w. sports is watching the game. of course, jonathan. tell us what we saw in this match. well, i think re, max is prepped for more than one now there were sent me more than the one know 49 suggest it was watched by 14000 fans inside and unix, the answer in a pretty k g start really poor pump. brilliant. so france image failed, as you say, a match to move and go the flailing and diverting it, pass manual around 20 minutes. it was a pretty. and pope with positive set out. for me it was really got into a bit of a master though. i think if he hadn't put it in the net, killian and back pay was waking behind him to do so. france had to go was just about in the 2nd half. as you said, they was there, hit the post. so mabry maybe could have scores for germany, but i think on balance france perhaps could have won by far more than one nail. well, there were 14000 fans allowed in the stadium in munich. let's listen to what some of them have to say after the match. when they, when they filled up 20 percent of the stadium,

but we know how to make noise and we know that it works clipper. can you? oh yeah, it was fabulous. there was a great atmosphere. in fact, i felt prompts for the home things. they were lots of french people, lots of entity, lots of things. the market was really incredible. the team was great. graceman was on top of that. i was on top. i really think it's a great sign of things to come. they would great the best way to get the jaga. it was a pity, gemini, had so few scoring opportunities, but i think we'll do better in the next game against portugal. that will be important also how portugal, plague and france that will be decisive for edward over that type. they paid better next time. ok, johnston optimistic germany fans there. and jimmy really has been up and down since

they crushed out of the last world cup. did you see in this match and improvement and no, not really. i mean, they're really share that optimism to be honest. and if you listen to the coach jack in the lab and some of the players, they're also quite pleased happy with the approach to the game, happy with how they force and putting the defeat down to and i'm go, but i don't know. i didn't really see it on the plus side. they didn't get thrashed . so you know, confidence wise, they can say ok. and now when they would have feet against about champions. but, you know, i really thought they lacked a cutting edge. they didn't really threaten here. laurie it's or in different go, relax a bit of a plan. if you come back to france, you know how from a going to sets up. they're going to try and get you on the counter attack. use that pace. that pace going forward. the movement, the accuracy of that pass, this was just a cut above germany basically. and when you have a play like killian and there was an incident in the 2nd half where pay started about 1050 meters behind some of the caught them up. it was incredible. show pay. i

think jeremy just don't have that weaponry in austin and i'm afraid germany left the world cup and rush after the 1st round. is it too soon for fans to be nervous? the fact that happened this time as well? no, it's not too soon because this is a group of 4 teams. you play 3 matches. they've already lost one. and they've got portugal coming up and 4 to go out the rain and champions, they'd be hungry 3 now and yesterday, as it came, packed with talent that starting of evan has 6 family players. and that's not to mention christiana, now they are as well. so that's going to be a very difficult match and then hungry is the last match and hungry made life difficult support to go yesterday. they defended really well to portugal until the last 10 minutes to finally break through and break hungry down. so i think it's germany can get through the portugal match without losing then they'll fancy that chance is because they should be hungry. the saving grace is the for best 3rd place teams go through as well. so that could be germany way through to the knockout stages. i think they were really need to improve their performance. alright, jonathan crane from
