♪ you are watching "france 24," 9:00 p.m. in the french capital, live from paris. the headlines -- shimon peres, the last of israel's founding fathers, is laid to rest. among those gathered from around the globe to picture viewed, palestinian leader abbas takes a front seat. french fighter jets heading to iraq, ahead of a planned battle to take mosul from the islamic state group. the rosetta space probe ends its mission to solve some mysteries of the silver system, crash landing onto the comet it has

been orbiting the last two years. anchor: thanks for joining us. shimon peres has been laid to rest, at a funeral attended by leaders from across the globe. the former president and prime minister of israel died on wednesday. he was 93. after seven decades in politics, he had come to be seen as a visionary, a symbol of hope for peace in the middle east. the event brought together the current israeli and palestinian leaders. a handshake shared between benjamin netanyahu and mahmoud abbas. mr. netanyahu was among those to deliver the eulogy. >> one time, i remember we were discussing that fundamental is really question. -- israeli question. what is the most important thing? is it security or is it peace. he said to me, peace is the only

true security there is. i said to him, shimon, in the middle east security needs to come first in order to establish and maintain peace. anchor: there are critics of the legacy of shimon peres. residents in gaza staged a protest, burning photographs of the former israeli president. images of benjamin netanyahu and barack obama were also set alight. the israeli flag was's a painted on the street along with the words "death to israel," and there was anger that palestinian leader mahmoud abbas attended the funeral. repoter: the power of shimon peres in a single image, as the leaders of israel and the palestinian territories come together. barack obama and many other world leaders celebrated abbas's participation, but he was one of

the few arab voices to express sadness when the former israel he leader died -- israeli leader died on wednesday. that, these people said they have innocent people's blood on their hands. >> we are against palestine's delegation taking part in shimon peres's funeral, because he is a children, and's he carried out a lot of wars and massacres against our children and our people in the gaza strip. >> i strongly condemn the participation of a president, a father like him, at a funeral for those who are making us bleed. repoter: others, however, supported the palestinian president's gesture. >> there's nothing wrong with the participation of mahmoud abbas at the funeral, as long as we sign a peace agreement with israel. todon't want to returned

the past, to war and killing and bloodshed. repoter: since abbas was elected, his plan was to extend his hand to peace. abbas's rare visit to jerusalem is unlikely to lead to any change. israeli-palestinian negotiations have been frozen for over two years, and leaders have not held face-to-face talks since 2010. anchor: french fighter jets have gone into operation over iraq, as the international coalition builds toward a battle to retake mosul from the islamic state group. the country's second-largest city has been held by the jihadists since summer 2014. eight jets took off from the aircraft carrier charles de gaulle. they would not confirm whether this was a bombing or reconnaissance mission. for more, let's go to the former u.s. intelligence advisor with extensive knowledge of iraqi security, now an adjunct fellow at the hudson institute. thank you for joining us. why has the international community made it public

knowledge there will be a major assault on mosul in the coming months? >> thanks for having me. one of the things that does work, when you say there will be a mosul offensive, isis starts to prepare for it. in some cases key leaders start to leave. in the past, when isis believe there was a mosul offensive, key leaders started to go to syria. in this case, i truly don't believe baghdad is ready for a mosul offensive. most people are cautioning that will be one million refugees from mosul. there is no reason to make a refugee crisis in mosul if this is done right, and to date these operations have not been done right. they have depopulated areas, punished civilian population centers, only to rid it in some cases of 1000 fighters. tothe case of mosul, 6000 8000 isis fighters will become more leaderless with each day that passes. anchor: what is the strategic

importance of mosul to the islamic state group? >> it is their capital in iraq, which they have held since june 2014. it is critical, because they can still conduct planning sessions, bring fighters there, send them out throughout iraq. ramadi, tikrit, fallujah, baghdad, they are able to conduct attacks. mosul is key, but doing it right is more important. otherwise you reset the conditions that led to isis to begin with. anchor: what will be key to the success of this mission to clear isis from mosul? >> what will be key is not creating a refugee crisis. ule one million sunnis in mos are expected to go to the kurdish regional territory, putting a lot of pressure on the kurdish government. baghdad has not helped curtis itswith -- kurdistan with

refugee crisis today. there are one million refugees already in kurdistan from syria and iraq. makest does, it the sunni population in iraq further distrust the u.s. and baghdad, because we are working with shia militia. they don't want to see kurdish militias in mosul. is no reason why the united states and again -- baghdad should not have already created a sunni force. there should be uniformed sunnis put back into the iraqi army to make a sincere reconciliation signal to the sunni community in mosul and iraq. anchor: is this a battle that will be fought on the ground, or will we see air compartment of mosul? >> if we look at ramadi, fallu

jah, they will be air bombardments, artillery bombardments, refugee exodus, and isis something of that with the refugees, just like they did from fallujah and ramadi. for 12,000rubbled isis fighters. we cannot rubble a city of one million sunnis for 8000 isis fighters. we need to empower the sunni population in mosul to kill isis fighters, and i get has not done that. there is no outreach to sunnis, so we are simply resetting the conditions that led to isis to begin with. anchor: thank you very much indeed for your insights this evening. some of the latest images from stark proof of the strain and suffering faced by rescue workers as fighting continues.

the syrian civil defense worker, or white helmet, broke down in tears after a month old baby girl was pulled from the rubble from a building. intensified airstrikes in aleppo have been branded barbarous by barack obama and german chancellor angela merkel. russia and serial say they targeted only rebel fighters. hundreds have died in the last few days in some of the fiercest compartment seen. -- bombardment seen. the u.n.'s humanitarian chief says that too many red lines have been crossed in syria. stephen o'brien was addressing the security council in new york, speaking about the devastation in aleppo. he questioned whether any level of disaster and death would prompt international action. former u.n. secretary-general kofi annan spoke of his fear that the conflict is unstoppable. >> what is happening is heart wrenching, and the syrian people are paying the price. there are lots of forces at

work. there are proxy wars going on. sometimes you have a feeling that, some are determined to fight to the last syrian life. mayor in far right eastern france threatens to expel a nonprofit organization for being too pro-migrant. laire says they are dedicated to fighting poverty and discrimination, offering emergency shelter and food and clothing to those in need, but they have been told to get out of one of the 14 towns where the national front is in charge. shoulder,houlder to they protested please stand by -- they protested their expulsion from the town of hayange. the town's mayor accuses the charity, who helps fight poverty, of promoting a

pro-migrant agenda. hayange is one of 13 pounds won by the far right national front in 2013. in the last few years, it has become france's third-largest party. the mayor argues that the group are occupying their site illegally, and they accuse them of being a branch of the communist party, political differences which have already cost the association. >> we don't receive subsidies. we cannot take part in any demonstrations. they had taken our equipment, another want to take our premises. this is not our fight. what we strive to do every day is to help the poorest. repoter: the town is said to have already assigned the fight to another association, one shared by a member of the le pen family. anchor: the president of the philippines has likened his deadly war on drugs to hitler's' efforts to exterminate jews. more than 3000 people have died

in three months since rodrigo duterte came to power, pledging to rid the country ofd illegal drugs. uterte has reacted angrily to criticisms internationally of the summary executions taking place in the philippines. germany has branded its latest remarks on acceptable. repoter: he is no stranger to controversy. on friday, philippine president outrageduterte drew when he compared his efforts to crack down on crime with hitler's and the holocaust. duterte said he would like to kill as many addicts as hitler's did jews. >> hitler's massacred 3 million jews. addicts 3 million drug . duterte ran and was elected on a law and order platform. since taking office, more than

3000 people have been killed in a bloody crackdown on crime. many had criticized his methods, and these latest remarks have done little to calm fears about his overzealous message. >> i don't think that is right. we have a system that strictly implements due process. duterte would imitate adult peddler, who killed met -- adolf hitler's, who killed millions, i don't think that is right. repoter: germany's government weighed in on the controversial remarks, saying it is impossible to make comparisons. >> i don't think there's any comparison at all with the unique atrocities of the shoah, the holocaust, of whatever, is entirely unacceptable. repoter: the tough talking duterte also railed against the u.s. and eu for finding fault with his methods, calling european countries hypocrites over their failure to do more to

help refugees fleeing violence in the middle east. tensions continue to escalate between pakistan and india along the defective frontier in disputed kashmir. india's army said it carried out surgical strikes, sending special forces to kill men preparing to sneak into its territory and attack major cities. pakistan denies that, claiming two of its soldiers were killed in cross-border shelling in the wake of last week's deadly assault on one of india's army bases in kashmir. inoter: a day after strikes disputed territory with pakistan, india has been pulling local residents away from the border in the state of kashmir. >> the current situation is like a war. because of that we had been ordered to leave. people have left with children on foot. repoter: tension between pakistan and india has been on the rise ever since a deadly attack on an indian army base in

kashmir around two weeks ago. new delhi blamed infiltrators who crossed over the border, on thursday carrying out their own strikes on what they said were militants planning further attacks in india. not according to islam a bad -- islamabad, which that indian troops fired unprovoked, killing two of their soldiers. they are in little mood to compromise, allowing a group from a banned militant group to host a anti-india protest. >> the entire cabinet reiterated, the pakistan government, pakistan's armed forces, and pakistan's 200 million people are 100% united. if india thinks of any bold moves, the entire people remain ready to respond. repoter: india did admit that one of its soldiers was in pakistan's custody, though that was unrelated to the raid and had strayed across the

border by mistake. both nations have twice gone to war over kashmir, but a 2003 cease-fire cut down on the evacuation of villages. the new tension has raised the possibly it could be in jeopardy. anchor: europe's pioneering rosetta spacecraft crash landed its way into retirement on the comet it has been orbiting for two years. millions of kilometers from earth, it declared one last burst of scientific data before sending to an icy grave. it is hoped the information gathered will help unlock the secrets of the origin of our solar system. repoter: the end of a 12-your mission, and now the spacecraft rosetta has been laid to rest on an icy rock 720 kilometers away. as it made a final dissent, scientific instruments sniffed the comment's -- comet's halo and took the closest pictures yet. the 1.4 billion euro mission began in 2004.

probe tookd another one decade to travel six million kilometers. in november 2014, the probe was released onto the surface and bounced into a dark crevice,, going into standby mode after collecting only 60 hours of data. nevertheless, this data will occupy scientists for generations. >> we have decades of science to do. we need new scientists. we need young people to be inspired by this mission, to go on, because they will be able to be science researchers working on the data, because there is so much of it. repoter: rosetta has already answered many questions on the birth of our solar system, and how comets relate to the earth. we now know that the tasted not bring water to our planet, but they could have been responsible for planting the seeds for life. the comet 67p is covered in organics and amino acids, the building blocks we are all made from. >> it has allowed us to look,

and establish visual observations on the origins of life. repoter: the final fate of rosetta will never be known, as it is programmed to switch off on impact. goghr: two stolen van paintings worth millions of euros have been found in a country house in italy. the artworks had been missing for 14 years after thieves used a ladder to climb onto the roof of the van gogh museum in an event. they were discovered wrapped in cloth in a house police say belongs to an alleged drug smuggler accused of running an international cocaine ring. ene andntings of a sea sc a church where the painter's father was minister are believed to be worth 50 million euros each. a recap of our main stories tonight. shimon peres, the last of israel's founding fathers, is laid to rest. among those gathered from around the globe to pay tribune, palestinian leader mahmoud abbas

taking a front row seat. french fighter jets set out for iraq. the operation comes ahead of a planned battle to retake mosul from the islamic state group. and the rosetta space probe ends its historic mission to solve some of the mysteries of the solar system, crash landing on to the, it has been orbiting for the last two. -- two years. time for the business news. we are starting with a look at the stock markets. a roller coaster day yet again, all down to the fact that deutsche bank's problems continue to evolve. repoter: germany's largest lender saw its shares plummet under 10 euros this friday, the lowest level in three decades, before rebounding sharply. that was when it was reported that the u.s. justice department would settle for a $5.5 billion payment, rather than the $14 billion it was seeking for mis-selling mortgage-backed securities, in line with the settlements other major banks

have reached over similar claims. we can take a look at what has been happening to deutsche bank's frankfurt shares this week. you see the initial falls on monday, followed by that very steep drop as friday's session got underway, and then that gradual recovery. deutsche bank's frankfurt shares actually closed up about 6%, 11 euros $.57. strongly.se the cac climbed just above the flatline, ending the session slightly in the red. wall street has also turned sharply upwards. the dow was up triple digits. you see the major indices, all of over 1%, with the dow leading gains of 1.18%. earlier, i spoke to a market analyst at cmc in london to get his take on the fears of contagion that have dragged down the european banking sector and global stock markets. take a listen. >> that contagion fear, people casting their minds back to

2008, and a number of parallels between what is happening at the moment with deutsche bank and what happened with lehman brothers before its collapse. there are some parallels, but perhaps the market's reading a bit too much into this. but of course, that has very far-reaching applications. the drop of lehman brothers's stock and its subsequent collapse. there has obviously been some risk-off scenarios in markets with investors worrying. reporter: it is the top question on the minds of investors. is deutsche bank the next lehman brothers. you don't seem to think so? >> no. there's a couple key differences with deutsche bank and lehman brothers. probably, first and foremost is that lehman brothers wasn't able to get access to cash when it really needed it from the federal reserve. it was declined. so, subsequently it was unable to pay back, with clients and

depositors pulling funds over worries about the profitability and its impact, the portfolio of risk assets. in a similar situation, deutsche bank had very low profitability because of the low interest rate scenario and constant fines coming from regulators because of past indiscretions. but it does have access to the european central bank, and it has a much wider set of assets, not just an investment bank but germany's biggest retail bank, so that enables them to access the ecb, so if worst comes to worst, it has the european central bank to back it up. and it actually does have, according to the latest stress itt carried out by the ecb, does have a bit more capital on the hands, so should we see more of what we have seen this week, where hedge funds, big clients of deutsche bank, start to reduce their exposure to the bank and pull their money out, deutsche bank has a bit more ability to pay them back. of ther: how much

problem facing deutsche bank is based on rumors and reputation, and how much is on the quiddity, and the lender -- liquidity, and the lender's real financial reality? >> well, that's the thing with banks, obviously, is that they never do have enough liquid assets, should everyone want to pull their money out. there's always a bit of a liquidity scare just around the corner. but i think fundamentally what's behind this is that, in the uk, and in the u.s., the banks here and across the pond, they made some tough decisions in 2008. they wrote off some loans. governments took stakes. similar things have not happened in europe, and by kicking the can down the road, not addressing some of the fundamental problems of these nonperforming loans, the low profitability environments and how to adapt to it, they have really just created more problems for themselves now. reporter: and just briefly, jasper, what do you take from

this statement issued today by deutsche bank's ceo, and his style -- denial that the german government says it is not working on a rescue plan. do you believe him? reporter: i don't -- >> i don't. i think it would be irresponsible of any government to not have some kind of safeguard in place, should something come to fruition like this. deutsche bank is germany's biggest lender, and it would be surprising if they didn't have some sort of plan, if things were to turn sour. so i think they are working on something. i think there was talk of a 25% stake. that's probably more speculation than reality. but i certainly think they will be working on something. to the point of the ceo, that actually, i would say, played into the fears of investors him makecause to hear these comments, to write a letter to his staff talking about the safety of the bank, is very reminiscent of the ceo of

lehman brothers shortly before its collapse. reporter: speaking to us earlier about deutsche bank. other business headlines, yet another european bank is cutting back. largest lender' will announce thousands of job cuts on monday. save millions of euros by shedding staff. sano is launching a new joint isture in iran, saying there potential there partnerl be joined pac in a new plant that could produce thousands of vehicles a year. this follows a deal with citroen to produce three models in iran. haslett says the -- tesla says the autopilot feature was not the reason to blame for an accident involving one of their cars.

a bus swerved into a tesla on a highway in northern germany. the autopilot technology has been under scrutiny since may whi a driver was killed le using the feature. plans for the paris metro to operate all night have been rejected by the city's transport unions. a study said the proposals were too expensive and unnecessary, but between 15000 and 40,000 passengers could benefit from overnight schedules. many would like paris to follow keeping footsteps, public transport open at least on weekends through the evening. no such luck for us yet. anchor: thank you very much, indeed. time for a short break now. do stay with us. plenty more still to come here on france 24.
