>> this is "d.w. news," live from berlin. donald trump takes aim at the so-called islamic state with a major speech on security. the republican candidate tells crowds he will shut down isis on social media and that he will work with nato and russia to defeat them on the ground. the speech marks trump's attempt to stop his slide in the opinion polls. also coming up, another french seaside resort banned the so-called burkini, a modest swimsuit popular with muslims. and finally, kidnapped as a

newborn and raised by strangers. the incredible case of a girl in capetown, as the woman she thought was her mother is sent to jail. sarah: i'm sarah kelly, welcome to the program. last week, donald trump said that barack obama and hillary clinton found the -- founded the islamic state. this week, he's telling america how to shut the terrorist organization down. in a major security speech in ohio, trump laid out his plans to fight the islamist group on all fronts. in a moment, we will cross live to d.w.'s richard walker for analysis. first, let's hear the tough words he had on u.s. immigration policy under a trump presidency. mr. trump: the time is overdue to develop a new screening test for the threats we face today.

i call it extreme vetting. i call it extreme -- extreme vetting. sarah: richard walker joins us from our washington studio to put this into context for us, because donald trump in this speech saying characteristically controversial things but richard, was it presidential or more presidential at all? because trump, he's been under a lot of criticism about his campaign and for not staying on message. richard: that's right. donald trump essentially has two modes for giving a speech. he has the presidential mode where he has an auto cue and giving a scripted speech, then he has the campaign rally mode where he's really sort of richard richard -- riving off notes. it's the campaign rally speeches

where he gets himself into controversy. the problem for him is if then tomorrow he's off riffing off script again, he could get himself into more trouble but you notice watching him deliver a speech like this, if he managed to put in a performance like this day in, day out, through election day, his chances would be a lot better. sarah: one of the things he said previously is that he knows more about islamic state than the generals in the united states. he talked at length tonight about how he would defeat the group. what is his strategy? richard: it's interesting. the boldest statements were more on the big picture stuff. there was one quote, he said, for instance, under a trump administration, the era of nation building would be brought to a swift and decisive end. so saying this is a break with the kind of liberal interventionism that hillary clinton represents but also a

break with the george w. bush neoconservative interventionism, the sort of thing that led to the iraq war, of course, in the first place. but when he actually got on to the specifics of how he was going to fight isis, an awful lot of it could have been said by barack obama himself. he talks about working with allies in the region, working with nato, stopping funding sources, intelligence sharing, all of that completely uncontroversial stuff and the sort of stuff that the administration would say that it's doing. you mentioned it earlier, there was one other thing. he said he would try to shut down the islamic state's access to the internet but no word on how he might be able to do such a thing. sarah: something he also mentioned, he singled out russia as a country that he wants to work closely with to destroy the so-called islamic state. we want to get a quick listen what have he had to say and get your reaction. mr. trump: i also believe that we can find common ground with russia in the fight against

isis. wouldn't that be a good thing? wouldn't that be a good thing? they, too, have much at stake in the outcome in syria and have had their own battles with islamic terrorism just as bad as ours. sarah: common ground with russia but something that hasn't been easy to come by recently, especially with the so-called islamic state. tell us more about the continued controversy surrounding trump's apparent pro-russia stance. richard: well, it's interesting. it doesn't focus just on donald trump himself, rather on some of his advisers. his campaign manager, paul manafort, has been in the news steadily recently over his ties to russia and groupings that are friendly to russia, particularly reports that he received millions of dollars working for

the former president of ukraine who was a close ally of vladimir putin's. but it's quite interesting also talking about donald trump's position on russia because compared to his position, say, on islamic state, or talking about relations with israel, it's actually not a huge and vious vote winner for him to do this. if you talk to trump supporters, which we've done many times over the last few months, they're not all sort of saying, oh, one thing we really have to do is improve relations with russia. it's not on people's minds so that is one of the reasons that people are scratching their heads about this, exactly why is he making this argument or why is he stressing it to the degree that he has because one final point, even barack obama is trying to work more closely with vladimir putin over the islamic state so it's also not necessarily quite as unique a position as it sounds. sarah: let's talk bottom line and impact on the polls. he also spent a good amount of time targeting his rival, hillary clinton, saying she lacked the mental and physical

stamina to take on the so-called islamic state. these continued attacks he keeps on making, are they helping his campaign? richard: well, we'll have to see. this was a more steady speech, the sort of speech that is more likely to help him than hurt him but that was an interesting point that he made about hillary clinton there because that was a shout-out to the more conspiratorial viewpoints that are out there. there have been videos of hillary clinton doing rounds on social media, photographs, trying to create the impression that she may have some kind of brain injury, some kind of brain damage, that she's simply not in a fit state to become president. those videos have been widely dismissed by others but it's a bit of a call-out to the sort of more conspiratorially minded supporters in his base and not necessarily the broader audience he's looking at with a speech like this.

sarah: he needs the broader audience in order to win. richard walker with the latest from washington. thank you. an air strike in yemen has hit a hospital run by the medical aid organization doctors without borders, killing and injuring several. the number of casualties is not known. the charity said the hospital in the northwest of the country, the area is held by anti-government houthi rebels and has been a target of saudi led bombing raised recently. the coalition has been carrying out air strikes against iran-backed rebels in yemen since march march 2015. a seaside resort in corsica has been the latest to ban burkinis, the swim wear some muslims wear on the beach. the mayor said burkinis were a sign of islamic fundamentism.

human rights group say they'll go to court to overturn the ban. we spoke earlier with the british journalist, ramoney ali. she's been writing about why women should wear burkinis. we asked her what she would say to the agency that said, "we're talking about religious movements." >> you are conflating terrorism with a piece of modest swim wear. this is a full wet suit is basically what it is and you're criminalizing what muslim women in particular are wearing to the beach. now that just contributes to fear and suspicion and this further others of -- other'ing of people. that is not what we need in these very difficult times.

obviously, because there are atrocities that have happened in france, there's been peddling a lot of fear and paranoia, obviously, these atrocities are to be condemned but we have to be very careful not to fall into the hands of extremists because this is exactly what they want. they want people to not feel part of society. they want there to be this polarization. saund so -- and so i feel that we're worryingingly pandering to that when we start placing restrictions on dress, the freedom of dress and the freedom of religion. so this is really, really worrying. me, as a british muslim, i can go to the beach. i can wear whatever i want. i can wear a bikini if i want and burkini if i want and that is a wonderful british value that we have these freedoms here so it is a worry to see this happening in france.

sarah: that was british journalist ramona aly. in other news, incumbent zam bian president -- zambian president edgar lungu, came to power after the death of his predecessor in 2015 but his main rival disputes the result, alleging electoral fraud and describing the poll as a sham. he says he will challenge the outcome in court. our correspondent joins us now from the zambian capital. we heard reports of riots, clashes between opposition supporters and the police. could this be a taste of more to come? reporter: ye, this is a taste of more to come because the

people in these areas, mainly southern province, are not happy with the outcome because they want a change and so they feel these have not been looked into. sarah: but zambia, it's not used to this kind of election instability. what exactly has this poll result proved as so controversial? kathy: this poll result controversial is because that -- it's because the politics in zambia have become so -- each party from the opposition or ruling party is trying to gain as many votes to rule and you know just become rich for personal gain or to serve people but mostly for personal gain so this is the most lucrative thing one can ever do at the moment in zambia so the stakes were quite

high. what the ruling party and the opposition, united party for national development, we're very confident of winning during the campaigns and neither of the two men were saying they would concede defeat so i think that's where the contention is. sarah: what do you think the outcome will be? is there any chance this result will be overturned? kathy: we have to wait and see what the constitutional courts will decide, of course, what sides will have to present the evidence and then the courts have to decide. this will be a test also of the amended constitution of zambia and to see how the constitutional courts will integrate that and also send signals to the zambians whether they can go to the courts for justice because we've seen courts turning people away and overruling other people from

seeking justice from the court system, it seems to be compromised. this is really a test of the judiciary of zambia to see whether they defend the interests of the ordinary zambians as well as the political parties. sarah: we thank you very much for your invite. india is celebrating its 70th anniversary of independence from british rule. prime minister narendra modi marked the occasion with a traditional flag raising followed by a speech from the 17th century red fort in delhi. he highlighted achievements of his government, including bringing electricity to some villages and limiting inflammation -- inflation.

modi accused islamabad of double standards, a reference to the support at kazmir.

sarah: welcome back. a quick reminder of our top story. donald trump says that he will introduce an extreme velting -- vetting of immigrants to the u.s. from countries linked to terrorism as part of a political speech from the republican presidential candidate aiming to highlight political differences with hillary clinton. a bittersweet reunion for a mother in south africa. celeste nurse has seen a court in capetown sentence the woman who snatched her newborn baby and raise her as her own to 10 years in prison but there is an

uncertain future. reporter: 19 years after her you newborn daughter was kidnapped, celest arrived to hear the verdict on the woman who took her. the father says they are focused on the future. >> not thinking about this anymore. this action made me tired. it made me sick completely. i couldn't sleep for nights. i couldn't even eat properly so the way forward is to build my relationship with my daughter. reporter: celest nurse gave birth to her daughter in 1997 and two days later, she was kidnapped. in a bizarre twist of fate, her true identity was revealed 17 years later when she befriended her own biological sister at school. the court has handed down a ten-year jail term to the woman

who pretended to be her mother for almost 20 years. prosecutors demanded a tougher sentence. >> we asked for 15 years and made the recommendation, we would be satisfied if a certain portion of that sentence is suspended and she gets 10 years improvement. imprisonment. reporter: in its verdict, the court said the crime was premeditated and too serious to not warrant a jail sentence. zevannie nurse is reported to have chosen to live with the man who raised her. sarah: today is a good day for the markets. investors are smiling. hi. >> we start in china. chinese shares surged on monday amid hopes the government would soon launch a link to connect the schengen exchange with the

one in hong kong. as oil prices recovered, indices hit eyes. >> they may not look excited but these traders on the frankfurt stock exchange are presiding over a 2016 high of the dax, the index of blue chip stock has experienced a summer rally, despite brexit and global market turbulence. >> what's an investor to do? they can't avoid stocks because interest could be unattractively low for years. the european financial system cannot handle higher interest rates at the moment. >> stocks are such an attractive proposition for investors right now, frankfurt's m dax index of mid sized firms has hit its highest ever value in early trading but it might not be time to crack open the champagne just yet. analysts see potential for further gains in the coming days.

reporter: investors in europe were upbeat on monday. let's bring in our market man in new york. did wall street trade on the upside, as well? jens: all the big three indices, the dow jones, the s&p 500 and nasdaq composite reached new all-time highs on monday and it's pretty much the same game over here. what to do with all the money, but while money is flowing into the stock market, there's also a lot of money parked in bonds and also we see rather high cash positions with some investors and some experts are saying if the money from the bond market and all this cash also flows back into the market, we could see the markets getting higher. there are some traders here on the floor, they already printed their dow 20,000. maybe the reason the markets are trading upwards, it's pretty

simple. if you look back, since 1900, you usually during the summer olympics, the dow jones had an average return of a good 4% so maybe it's that simple here on wall street. reporter: oil prices have gained 2.5% today. how sustainable is this rise? jens: well, i mean, since the beginning of august, oil prices are up by a good 10%. there is a lot of talk that maybe the opec members next month might cut oil production but then again, we heard that talk so often, a lot of words, little action. so i'm really not that sure if opec will decide anything major next months and therefore this little tick to the upside could be history rather soon because still we have a pretty steep oversupply when it comes to

crude oil, so, well, we take it for now but if it's sustainable, that remains to be seen. reporter: thank you very much. as you've heard, india celebrated the 70th anniversary of its independence from britain and lawmakers have agreed on a nationwide goods and services tax. while india's prime minister, narendra modi, believes the move will strengthen the economy, companies and businesses have their doubts. >> this little shop in the heart of new delhi is the pride and joy of the owner. his customers buy water filters and cleaner to purify drinking water. it's an all-cash business with no receipts. that makes life easier for him but not for the tax authorities. >> i don't pay taxes.

my costs are so high. i have to pay rent, school fees and much more. at the end of the day, there's not enough for me so i don't pay any taxes. reporter: india is a country of tax rebels, an attitude rooted in history. the authorities who have tried to collect taxes are paralyzed by bureaucracy. the system is confusing and hopelessly complex. for months, prime minister narendra modi and his finance minister have been saying that has to change. they've made reform of the tax system a central pillar of domestic policy. >> we should leave no stone unturned in creating a vibrant and strong india. the prevailing economic situation presents a great challenge. reporter: india wants to radically overhaul the current system. right now, the government levies a sales tax and tax on services

but the country's 29 states are each responsible for levying taxes on goods. rates and regulations vary greatly from state to state. modi wants a centrally imposed national tax on goods and services, considering a rate of 18%. the plan is aimed at making it easier for companies to conduct business across state breezy. state boundaries. logistics companies and internet retailers would be winners in that reform. it could give indian g.d.p. a boost as much as 2%. but what about the poor masses of this enormous country? it looks like those in the worst financial position could soon have to pay more for the basic commodities of daily life. reporter: you might have heard of self-driving cars but it's not just passenger vehicles set to become autonomous. take this self-driving tractor being tried in denmark, using g.p.s. and sensors to navigate

around a preset route at the touch of a button. the dutch firm behind it says the tech works more efficiently and more effectively than a human farm worker. back to sarah with news of the stand-out event at the olympics, 100 meters. sarah: it's an olympic moment that the sporting world has been waiting for, the world's fastest main racing against history. usain bolt in the 100 meters did not disappoint. the reigning olympic champion and world record holder became the first man to win three olympic golds in this event and for his fans back home in jamaica, it was time to party. reporter: usain bolt's adoring fans nervously watched on but deep down, they never had a doubt. >> oh, my god! the living legend! >> words can't express the

excitement and elation. usain bolt is one of the greatest of all time. reporter: bolt made history by winning a third straight 100 meters olympic gold, reining in rival and former doper justin gatlin of the u.s.a. he is targeting more gold later in the week in the 200 meters and four by 100 relay. this is bolt's last olympic games so his fans in kingston will party all the harder. sarah: sporting activity of a more relaxed kind when hundreds of hot air balloons took to the skies over southwest england over the weekend. the bristol international balloon festival attracts thousands of spectators. conditions were ideal for a leisurely glide over the english countryside on sunday. we leave you with those pictures. thank you so much for watching. enjoy.
