more than 300 people have been killed since the protestss erupted in october. turkey says it has deported seven germans and one british nationals suspected of being isis militants. the germans are believed to be a family from a central german area. the eu has watched legal action against the u.k. for refusing to nominate a commissioner to the eu. on w wednesday, britain said it would not be putting forth a candidate to serve on the eu commission until after parliamentary elections in the u.k. on december 12. u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo is urging european countries to take back their citizens who joined isis and to ensure that they are prosecuted. many former isis fighters are being held in northern syria

guarded by kurdish troops. mike pompeo met with diplomats from 30 countries involved in the fight against the jihadist group. he says that countries should hold the thousands of foreign nationals who fought in the name of isis accountable for the atrocities that they committed in iraq and syria. on thursday, seven german nationals suspected of being connected to isis landed here in berlin. they had been deported from turkey. let's go now to our chief medical correspondent. she is following the story here in berlin. turkey announcing that in the next few days, we will have 11 german citizens repatriated. what do we know about the deportees and their connection to isis? those who arrived thursday

evening were a seven-member family including four women and a baby who was born in detention in turkey. this family was originally a rock but all but one member have german passports and they have been living in a town until earlier this year when they went to turkey apparently planning to go on to syria but turkish authorities then detained them and held them for some time. the turkish interior ministry said that this family were foreign terrorist fighters. the german interior ministry says it has no evidence of that. no evidence of an isis contact. it is worth noting that people with german passports do have a right of return but if they are known t to have fought for foren terrorist organizations, the german government can strip them

of the german passport. that clearly did not happen here. what we also know is this family did have connections to the traditional group that is a rapidly expanding islamic sect here in germany. some of whose members but not a majority have espoused jihadist aims. >> what will happen to these german nationals noted they are coming home? >> this particular family was met at the door of the plane by police. and taken away for questioning by security services. we are told there is no arrest warrant at the time for any member of the family but the father may he charged on another criminal offense that has nothing to do with terrorism. we were also told that the family will remain under surveillance for some time. >> what are german authorities saying about how these returnees

are impacting the security situation? are the people being told to prepare for a security -- higher security level? >> no there is no reason to panic and in general, he and others have been trying to downplay the threat. he said that germany is used to dealing with returnees that it has numerous organizations that can observe them but also that can help with do radicalization and reintegration should there be a need and a desire for that. there have been several returnees who came back voluntarily. some of whom have faced trials in the courts. however, the opposition here in germany say that they don't feel

the government's plan for dealing with returnees is adequate and they point out there may be some dozens of returning who are known to have fought with isis who are still being held in the middle east and will be expected to return. >> thank you. ststaying here in eueurope, itay has declared a state ofof emergency after catastropopc funding -- flolooding in veneni. the government in rome has released 20 0 million euros for imimmediate aid. the disaster was described as aa blow to the heart t of the countrtry. the mayor of venice says the very future of the city is now at stake. >> on thursday, the water rose then retreated on a st. mark's square. the basilica is among the worst hit by the flooding. its crypt has been swamped.

>> the prime minister rushed to the city to assess the situation. he promised the government will act swiftly to provide funds and resources. >> this committee i organized will be needed to join in all of the infrastructure problems of venice in order to g gern all the problems of venice. we will face the problems of big cruise ships and coordinating better with the appropriate authorities. >> local authoririties estimee that 85% of the city was inundated in the past days. high winds and heavy rain drove the water level to almost 190 centimeters. it hasn't in this bad since 1966. the mayor blamed climate change for the extreme weather and said venice was on its knees. there is also plenty of anger here.

>> i have a small shop and we had around 15,000 euros worth of damage. i was prepared for 60 centimeters of water but it was well over 70 centimeters. my pump was not strong enough to stop it. >> an undersea barrier is being constructed to protect venice from high water but it is not finished. it has faced constant delays since construction began in 2003. as locals take in the aftermath of the flooding, officials say the damage could total hundreds of millions of euros. >> earlier, we spoke to our correspondent in venice. she gave us this wrapup. >> venice has gone back at least for today to its normal tides. this time of year, the moon and the sun and their affect on the earth's waters influence the high tide in venice. today, we reached a height of

110 centimeters which is definitely lower than the record reached on tuesday night. people are still reeling from the high tide. they are counting the damage, tragically to cleanup their homes and their shops. they hope that they will receive help from the government. today, the prime minister promised some money that will be readily available for citizens and for business owners in the city in the hopes that it will kickstart and get back on their feet. venetians are used to hardship. high tides come every year but this one was exceptional. no one was expecting it, no one was prepared. the nations are tough but they are also skeptical of what the government has done and will be doing it the system of barriers that is meant to protect venice from the high tide has been an construction for almost 20 years. it was supposed to be finished

five years ago but that still has not happened. >> that was our reporter in venice. israel and palestinian militants are experiencing a cease-fire after two days of clashes. it >> missiles soar into the night sky. before being snuffed out by israel's missile-defense system. as they broke, it seemed to beckon a fragile peace. news of a de-escalation. >> we confirm that a cease-fire deal was reached under his supervision of egypt.

it went into effect on the ground at 5:00 a.m. jihad conditions. the deal includes the occupy israel submission to conditions to stop the assassinations, protect the march of demonstrators and to begin the procedures to break the siege of gaza. >> the clashes began after israeli forces killed a senior commander from the palestinian militant group islamic jihad. they fought back firing hundreds of missiles toward israel, destroying buildings and wounding residents. striking panic into everydayay life. it was israeli firepower that proved deadliest. dozens were killed many of them civilians and children.

israel says the cease-fire will bring an end to the bloodshed. the not degrees. -- the grief. brent: climate change is having a huge impact on the environment and also on human health. a major new study says children will suffer the worst effects. our science reporter explains. >> risingg temperatutures will e a major impact on agriculture. global yield potential for staple crops is alreready in decline.e. if t the downward d trend contis while populations rise, food prices will be driven up leading to more malnutrition among the world's poorest and and in children, that can affect development dramatically causing lifelong health problems. climate change is closely tied to another key factor in child development. air quality. children born today will on average people eating in more toxic air than their parents.

that will cause rates of respiratory diseases like asthma to rise and increase the long-term risk of heart attack and stroke. the current generation will also experience more extreme weather-related events than their parents. the help of hundndreds of millis of people worldwide is already affected by flooding, he waits, droughts and wildfires. if we are able to keep temperatures from rising under two degrees celsius, tamara's children will be exposed to the hazards of e extreme weather throughohout their lifetes.. as temperatures warm, the conditions improvement for diseases like cholera and diarrhea. the range for mosquitoes that carry viral pathogens is expanding. as the young in mean -- young immune system's have not developed, children are likely to suffer later healtlth conditions or. if they contract those diseases. climate change is already having

an effect on child health and it will only get worse -- worse if the planet continues to warm up. brent: a disturbing study. to talk about that is our science correspondent. which of those dangers is the most immediate danger to children's health? >> of the four dangers of food supply, air pollution, infection , and other environmentalal damamage, i ththink infection wl be the most pressing issue. as temperatures rise, it raises the range for diseases that were in the tropics and allows them to migrate into moderate zones. we have seen the expansion of the range for mosquitoes which can act as vectors for r diseass

like malaria or west nile virus. at the moment, in europe where only seeing a couple hundred cases every year but if temperatures rise, that number could be set to explode. brent: i guessss it makes s a difference where a child g grows up. >> yes it has made a difference for a long time. in a child lives in the heart of europe and out in the country, it will do better than a child who grows up in delhi where they have air pollution. they will also be betterer fed. they will also receive better medical attention.n. the ultimate thihing we need to look at is this is about child development. when these things happen at a very specific rate and as

children are developing, they are vulnerable in their early lives, their immune systems have not developed yet. anything that affects them at that age is going to have lifelong effects and consequences. it will turn into a chronic disease which is ultimately why they say this generation will have to cope with chronic diseases we never had to cope with. brent: we hear about less expects these -- life expectancies getting longer. will these children have to do with shorter life expectancies? >> it's hard to protect -- predict. none of us knows how this environmental situation is going to play out. in a business as usual scenario, we would have a 4% -- four degree live in dutch rise in temperature by the end of the century and that's where the

disastrous scecenarios begin. what we are shooting for is a maximum of two degrees celsius. if we managed to keep it under that, we are already seeing the effects on child health. if w we move toward cleaner technologies, we can mitigate the consequences. brent: what about improvements in health care? medical advancements? will they be able to addressss this increase in threats to health? >> medicine really is advancing in a gigantic leaps and bounds. returning to the concept of if these things happen to children at young t times in t their lif, for example if a child contracts asthma at a young time in his life, -- life you might be able to keep the child alive for seven or eight decades. but the child is going to have asthma and there is no way too turn back k the clock and make that not happen.

that is really what this is about. brent: that's why we say the children of the most vulnerable in a dirty world. it can be good. as always, thank you. a u.n. conference on population and development in nairobi has closed with a pledge to improve women's health. part of the issue is reproductive health and birth control. a program in senegal is having a positive impact. >> every day, she goes door-to-door visiting families in her neighborhood. she wants to see change in her community. in the privacy of their homes, she talks to women about sex and contraception. >> not every woman is able to go to the clinic and choose a

contraceptive method. often, shooter husband to agree and sometimes have a mother-in-law. some come to the clinic and say my husband wants me to take this method. so we go to speak to the husband to raise his awareness. our role is to mediate. >> 10 years ago, the government launched this outreach program to make e family planning a priority. they hope to decrease maternal and neonatal death. the fertility rate dropped below five children per woman in 2016. it was the first time in the history of senegal. the birth rate is now at 4.7. lower than other countries in the region. around 95% of the population is muslim. society is conservative.

she is part of a young generation of religious leaders who promote family planning. they have trained imams across the country. he insists that the carotid advocates breast-feeding and spacing out pregnancies. >> when you read the word, the close pregnancies had terrible consequences for the newborn and the mother. >> more and more are using contraception because sex outside marriage is considered taboo, singles are often taken out of discussions about contraception. women will soon have full or control of decisions about their bodies. brent: a french football legend has made a return to coaching

with montreal impact. he is signed a two-year deal with the club which place in north america's malice. he knows the legal well -- league well having spent time at the rentals. the job is his first since he was sacked by monaco in january. watch out tony stark. on the shores of england, a real-life ironman has soared into the record books. earlier today, the daredevil inventor blasted into the skies above brighton. inside his jet engine powered flight suit. the british rocket man smashed thee previous world r record for the fastest speed using a jet suit hitting 1 138 kilometers pr hour. that's more than doububle the speed ofof the previous recoror which was also set by him back in 2017. here is a reminder that the top

story we are following for you -- a california hospital says two people have died after a school shooting. six students are being treated after a gunman opened fire at a school near los angeles. you are watching dw news. after a short break, i will be back to take you through the day. stick around for that. we will be right back.

. my money goes s into the headlines the truth. that is right two days ago. lives. strikes on gaza. the tree. in the camp gan was please read like going from the home of. you have to get him his wife. yeah yes. this is a political
