>> this is "dw news," live from berlin. the builder rules out his blueprint. u.s. presidential candidate donald trump lays out his plan to make america great again, a supply-sider smorgasbord of business lobbies and about to fight currency mutilation abroad. our correspondent will separate fact from fiction. also coming up, islamic state and a television-linked -- taliban-linked group claimed responsibility for an attack in afghanistan goo.

japan's aging emperor makes a coated lead to step down. the 82-year-old tells his country that poor health might make it impossible for him to fulfill his duties. i am sarah kelly. thank you for joining us. donald trump has vowed to make the economy of cornerstone of his presidential campaign, and today he laid down the gauntlet. a vision of simple five taxes, -- a simple five taxes and business friendly policies at home coupled with what he called smart trade deals, putting an end to currency mitigation, and bringing home trillions in offshore wealth. he painted a stark contrast to his democratic challenger. mr. trump: our opposition on the other hand as long ago run out of ideas. all the liquid and has to offer

is more of the same -- more taxes, more regulations, more bureaucrats, more restrictions on american energy and on american production. more of that. if you were a foreign power looking to weaken america, you couldn't do better than hillary clinton's economic agenda. sarah: and that speech was aimed at restoring donald trump's campaign after he struggled with a string of controversies last week, including an argument with the parents of a muslim american soldier killed in iraq. does this speech marked the beginning of a turnaround? i for the question to richard walker a little earlier. richard: it certainly did look like a candidate on his best behavior after all the criticism he has been getting from the republican party establishment about going off message and having a rather chaotic week last week in which he railed against everyone from the republican leadership to the parents of a fallen muslim

soldier. today what we saw from donald trump was a man who was absolutely sticking to his message, sticking to his script reading, teleprompter rather than rambling from notes as he often does. and also during many interruptions from the crowd -- there were synchronized protests going on through a large portion of the speech -- keeping his cool and not make gags other protesters' expense as he has done in the past. the question is will every republican like the message he has got? that is not clear at all. from the point of view of his protectionist, and titrate stance, it did -- and titrate -- anti-trade stance, he did not soften, and the chamber of commerce will not like that one bit. sarah: donald trump for his part says he knows money and business better than anyone and that clinton was an economic failure

while in office. do you think he will score points with the general public with that strategy? richard: on the one hand there was a bit of a hole in the strategy in that hillary clinton when she was in office in the obama administration was secretary of state responsible for diplomacy, not economic policy. on the other hand, donald trump does like to play up to the fact that he is a big businessman and that is seen as a positive among many supporters. they want someone who is not just outside politics but has experience in the world of business. also he is painting hillary clinton -- even if you don't accept that she was involved in obama foreign policy -- economic policy, rather -- that she would mark a continuation of that. for someone who doesn't like the economy now, you will not like it under hillary clinton, that he is the candidate who represents change. that is going to be an important part of his message going forward. sarah: who is he appealing to with today's speech?

we note he gave it in michigan. is that's an event? -- is that significant? richard: michigan has not voted republican in a presidential election since 1988. any hopes he has of winning michigan might be somewhat questionable. but the midwest as a whole is certainly a target region for donald trump. this is an area affected by deindustrialization, an area where he wants to poach disaffected working-class, particularly white voters, away from the democrats. they were a key part of his audience. more broadly, the campaign is seeing the speech as an attempt to reset after the difficulties last week. in that sense the speech had a national audience in mind. sarah: richard walker in washington, thank you. donald trump had plenty to say about the u.s. economy. later in the show, a business correspondent will take a closer look at the economic aspects of his speech.

stay tuned for that. in the meantime it is a place of care, healing, and recovery. but in the hands of islamist terrorists, it became a killing fields. earlier today a suicide bomber detonated his deadly device on the grounds of a hospital in pakistan. 70 people were killed and more than 100 injured. the attack appears to have targeted journalists and officials who were there after a well-known lawyer was murdered during the day. reporter: scattered bodies and bloodstained streets outside the entrance to the emergency department. one hospital worker described the scene that awaited him. "as i was coming into work, i heard a loud explosion. i left my bike and ran to see what happened. i saw lots of bodies on the ground covered in blood, and many injured people." around 200 people had gathered at this hospital to pay respects as the body of a senior local

lawyer was brought in. bilal kasi had been killed earlier on monday morning. his murder was the latest in a series of recent attacks on lawyers in the city. the attack took place in quetta, pakistan's ninth largest city in the regional capital of baluchistan province. the area has long struggled with insurgency. several separatist groups are active in the resource-rich region, where the military is also dealing with al qaeda and other islamist militant groups. police say today's attack was carried out by a suicide bomber. there have been multiple claims of responsibility, from pakistani taliban faction and the so-called islamic state. now health workers are scrabbling to care for the dozens of people wounded on the hospital's doorstep and identify those who have been killed. sarah: japan's 82-year-old monarch has hinted he may step

down. in a rare televised address, emperor akihito said he feared poor health. in performing his duties. it is a headache versions of a' -- it is a headache for shinzo abe's government to the constitution makes no allowance for the emperor to abdicate. reporter: perhaps in january here been pondering how many more addresses he could give. akihito assumed the throne in 1980 and after the death of his father. now 82 years old, having had heart surgery and cancer treatment, he has hinted that it may be time to bow out. >> despite being fortunately healthy at the moment, i'm concerned about not being able to fulfill my duties as a symbolic head as i have done so far. reporter: there is currently no provision in japanese law to allow an ever to step down, but the prime minister said he took

the emperor's messages seriously and that the government should carefully consider what it can do to help. upon reflecting on how he handles his official duty from his age, the current situation of how he works, i do respect the heavy responsibility the emperor must be feeling and i believe we need to think hard about what we can do." abe's stance is shared by many japanese people. a poll suggests 80% of the population with support emperor akihito if he chose to advocate. "he is very also i think it is a good thing. the crown prince should take the throne." "i'm for the japanese emperor abdicating because i wanted to get rest -- want him to get rest ." "he is very old and his public is very demanding so i think we

need to consider his thoughts." the law governing the royal family system would have to be revised to accommodate an abdication meaning it could be a while before the matter is concluded. with the debate in parliament more than likely. sarah: thousands of children caught up in the wave of refugees fleeing armed conflict in northern nigeria have found safety in neighboring chad, but little else. now slowly they are being returned. too often these reunions are bittersweet at best. reporter: at first glance they seem like any other children, but these youngsters have had their lives toward a part. they are from nigeria, but for the past year and a half they have lived here in this refugee camp in chad. >> all of these children come from a town on the short in northeast nigeria. it was hit by armed conflict in

early 2015, and this is when the children became separated from their families. they boarded some boats to save their lives and they reached chad, where family members fled by road. reporter: the international committee of the red cross has been working hard to reunite the youngsters with their families, but with no documentation, it is not an easy task. >> we collected all the information they could give us about their families. we used pictures of the children, we used the names of the children and the names of their family members. this is how we manage to locate our parents, siblings, grandparents. reporter: after months of painstaking work, the families of nine of the children were identified and they began the northeastern nigeria. finally, the moment the relatives thought they would never see. at some of the reunions were tinged with sadness. since this 11-year-old has been away, both his parents have died, leaving just his mother.

these families -- grandmother. these families have been given another chance but thousands more like them remain separated by conflict. while the red cross continues its work to identify displaced children and send them home. sarah: let's get a quick check of other stories making news around the world. activists in ethiopia say dozens of people were killed in a weekend of protests across the country. the capital saw a rare antigovernment demonstration on saturday, and the government impose a nationwide internet shutdown. the opposition says most of the deaths were in the west and afghan authorities are searching for two foreigners kidnapped by gunmen in kabul. the u.s. and australian citizens were apparently teaching at the american university of afghanistan. the u.s. embassy confirmed there had been a kidnapping but released no further details .

at least 43 people in mexico have been killed by a hurricane hitting the gulf coast. there were mudslides and flooding in the wake, leaving homes flooded and roads and bridges destroyed in the streets of puebla and veracruz. two sports now. as far as the brazilians are concerned, on the big beach volleyball is there sport. there they are doing all they can to make it known. the women's match injured another sellout crowd. for the record, those who had tickets for the big event saw the home team when. it was a preliminary match, though, so argentina still has hopes for a medal. fortunately for us and for him, oliver moodie of the "dw news" sports desk is on the beach and we asked him about the match and the boisterous each volleyball fans of rio. oliver: there was an incredible atmosphere for the match you

just mentioned, argentina versus brazil. it is one of the great grudge matches in international sports. these two are south american neighbors. and as we heard, the home fans got what they wanted in the end, a win for brazil. shortly after that there was one of the great subplots i've seen the olympic games so far when qatar took on spain in men's volleyball. qatar have a local boy in their ranks, who is from rio, moved to qatar to play volleyball there. when the crowd saw him, they went absolutely mad and started chewing on qatar -- cheering on qatar as if they were watching brazil. definitely it was a great couple of the olympic spirit -- great example of the olympic spirit and how the fence you are getting into it. sarah: that was already speaking to us from cope with indiana -- copacabana beach in brazil. senegal used to be a prime departure point for migrants

seeking a better life in europe, but a variety of factors including improved economic conditions at home has slowed the flow to a trickle. back in a minute. don't go away.

sarah: welcome back. quick reminder of our top stories. republican presidential candidate donald trump has rolled out his economic plan to reinvigorate the u.s. economy. the highlights include reducing corporate business taxes, simplifying personal income tax, and slashing regulations. trumbull also vows to -- trump thousand to fight currency mutilation abroad. mass migration from africa is a european problem, and europe can provide the solutions -- those words from the german development minister as he embarks on a five-date trip to senegal, niger, and rwanda.

he is touting a program that will encourage european countries to invest in africa in the hopes of creating prosperity that so many citizens desperately seek. it is a theory that is already bearing fruit, in senegal. reporter: he is returning to a place full of bad memories. 10 years ago he paid 500 euros to take a fishing boat to the canary islands, the spanish province off the west coast of africa. he thought he would have a better life there and be able to send money back to his family in senegal. "i started out on this very beach, but the trip was so risky. i will never do anything like that again. life and death are no longer in your hands. those six days were the worst days of my life."

he was picked up by the spanish coast guard and immediately deported back to senegal. since then, the tide of migrants has fallen to a trickle, and the village has returned to fishing. the reason that those votes are not leaving for europe anymore is mainly because of the increased border patrols on the spanish side. people who want to get to europe choose other words like the ones through libya. some people also say the economic situation here has slowly improved. one of those optimists is the deputy mayor. while he agrees that fishing has its problems, at the hospital is often overcrowded, and the schools could be better, he says the population is growing, and that, he says, is proof of the upswing. "in the high season for nine months of the year, people come from all over senegal to work i the fishing industry. the fishermen here have made big

efforts to improve the situation and to protect the resources. even agriculture has developed considerably. people are attracted here from all over the region." but for this farmer, it is not easy. he used to irrigate his fields with the diesel pump, which turned out to be too expensive. his field dried out and he couldn't compete with cheap festivals imported from europe -- cheap vegetables imported from europe. now with development aid from germany he uses a soul about, a more sustainable solution -- solar pump, a more sustainable solution. he is optimistic that his seven children will have a future as farmers. "if young people see a future for themselves here, they will stop wanting to leave. they will want the same life as everybody else here. my neighbors asked me how they can get a system like mine,

because they can see how well it works for me." he is now chairman of an organization for migrants who have returned. they have more than 500 members. after his bat experiences, he is well qualified to tell people about the dangers of illegal migration. "when i give young people in place, i say don't do it -- young people advice, i say don't do it. but if they are determined, i say they should try to find a legal way with a visa and passport. but not those deadly boats. thousands of young africans have drowned that way." he has had a good example come with a job in a fish factory, three children, and his own car. he says it is entirely possible to find success at home in senegal. sarah: a change of pace now. we will head over to the latest from the business world.

she is having a look at whether or not donald trump's economic proposals make economic sense. elena: plenty to chew over and we are going to take a look at those basel's and printed detail because donald trump outlined his economic plans for the country at the detroit economic club. the members are local business leaders and detroit as well is symbolic of the decline in u.s. industrial production. the former giant carmaking metropolis is now just a rusty shadow of its former self, and despite president barack obama's rescue of the auto industry, trump still blames him for what he calls the week -- weak recovery from the 2009 global financial crisis. reporter: republican candidate donald trump wants to lower the rate of corporation tax from the current 35% to 15% full set claims this will encourage fresh ppart of that will be financed y

putting an end to a tax-deductible items and loopholes unpopular on main street. mr. trump: as part of this reform we will eliminate the carried interest deduction, well-known deduction, and other special interest loopholes that have been so good for wall street investors and for people like me but unfair to american workers. reporter: a trump presidency could see income taxes slashed with working families able to reject the cost of childcare from their income. trump also says he wants to rewrite the north american free trade agreement with canada and mexico, which he blames for leaching jobs from the u.s. he also threatens to withdraw from the transpacific partnership trade deal if he is elected. mr. trump: just imagine how many more automobile jobs will be lost if the tpp is actually approved. it will be catastrophic.

that is why i have announced we will withdraw from the deal before that can ever, ever, ever happen. reporter: in a speech frequently interrupted by protests, trump also said he would slap a ban on all new business regulation and do away with regulations he claims choke economic growth and depress wages. helena: for more on this let's cross over to our man on wall street. any big surprises in trump's speech? reporter: well, i mean come we didn't get that many new ideas, but donald trump did sound more benign with the republican party -- aligned with the republican party overall and the ideas to give the rich and tax cuts to businesses and individuals in the hope for some trickle-down effect, that is not a new idea. george w. bush tried to that.

if it really works out well we can debate about that. obviously, he tries to get in party line and we'll was also quite interesting was what he did not talk about. to a certain degree he sounded a bit more balanced than in the past. helena: of course his slogan which we have heard over and over again is "make america great again." the country really in such bad shape financially of the needs rescuing to that extent -- that it needs rescuing to that extent? reporter: well, bad shape, probably not, but what some people talk about is you have statistics of the recovery we are seeing is the slowest recovery since the 1940's, and also the participation in the labor force remains at the lowest level in about 40 years. so some people have profited

from the recovery from others have not. the latter ones, the voters of donald trump hopes to get. helena: many thanks indeed for that update. now come in a bid to clamp down on terrorism here in germany, both of the government and the security services are calling for easier and quicker access to social networking sites like facebook. investigators usually run into some difficulty obtaining access to social networking information as they come up against data protection laws. could that be about to change, and should facebook users soon expect that whatever they write, the police may read? here is more. reporter: thanks to facebook, keeping in touch with friends and equations is is easy. unfortunately, it makes it easier for terrorists and criminals to cotact each other and spread hate messages. in germany, a suicide bomb or had at least six facebook profiles, including one under a

fake name. used online services to communicate with generous intermediaries. germany security service after social network operators for information on suspects on an almost daily basis in two out of three cases, data protection of privacy laws take precedence, affording investigators efforts. now the justice minister is sounding the alarm. if it takes less than 10 seconds for a photo posted in germany to be seen, than i expect facebook to respond to requests from law enforcement within one hour." facebook says since the attacks, it has been working around the clock with the german authorities. u.s. investigators have the advantage that the headquarters and servers of the west's major social networks are already on their turf.

that gives them easier access to data without long, drawn out procedures. helena: that is all your business news for now. back over to sarah. sarah: we have time for a quick reminder of the top story before we go. republican presidential candidate donald trump has rolled out his economic plan to reinvigorate the u.s. economy. highlights include reducing corporate business taxes, simplifying personal income, and slashing regulations. thanks for watching.
