joining us this evening you're watching our international. starts with our developing story this hour that three people have been killed they include the perpetrator and also twenty others have been confirmed injured after a van plowed into a crowd in the german city of munster let's cross live to our correspondent in berlin peter all of us on the line with me peter bring is the very latest please. yes has been confirmed three people including the driver have been killed after have died after a vehicle plowed into people who were sat at a cafe in munster the driver we understand took his own life that's what we're hearing from the authorities at the scene. he has been that has been confirmed by

the interior minister of the state of north rhine-westphalia where this took place in the city of munster another twenty people or so of been injured in this incident as well six of those are described as being in a critical condition the authorities have named the main suspect behind this the person that took their own life at the wheel of that vehicle is a forty eight year old man i say they've named him he has only been named locally as the yen's are that's a common practice here in germany of only given the first name and the first letter of the last name when there is an ongoing inquiry a forty eight year old german national who is described in the media as having a history of mental illness his place of residence his flats currently being searched by authorities as they try to determine a motive for why this incident took place really terrifying scenes if you can imagine it's been a it was a glorious sunny day on a saturday afternoon this is

a very popular place in munster very popular with with locals with tourists alike a popular restaurant cafe where people were sat outside there would have been a lot of people there some of those who were nearby spoke to us told us exactly what they saw what they heard as this incident took place it was really stressful day and i was working on a loud bang and screams and then the police arrived and everyone who sent outside i didn't see much the police were of people running away screaming well official response from the german government has been as follows we heard from frank the president of germany described this as they discussed being act of violence while chancellor angela merkel said. that everything imaginable was being done to clarify the facts as well as to provide support to the victims and their relatives she said that she was in close consultation with the interior minister horst the offer as well as other cabinet members to try to ascertain what led up to this tragic event

that's taken place in the city of munster that's of course one of peter oliver reporting for us from berlin thank you. former double agent said to be recovering from last month's attack on him and his daughter in the british city of solsbury but his niece victoria who's a russian citizen has been refused a visa to visit her sick relatives in the u.k. there she says she's not surprised by that decision and she's in fact question whether the british authorities might actually have something to hide leaper trying to has more on the case imagine your cousin and uncle are hospitalized and in critical condition you'd likely freak out and rush to their sides this is victoria script all surrogate scribbles nice to do just that she as a russian citizen needs a u.k. visa but she was denied we have refused a visitor visa application from victoria scruple on the grounds that replication

did not comply with the immigration rules victoria says she saw it coming just before the no from the u.k. there was this phone conversation allegedly between the script cousins. did you know us with us or you're not a minor. not of my list of potential users are. you yet you know we. live in a good. mood and yet those. already. many of the will to use it the doc told me in august the book is called almost. doing it which is really going to a yes no money and yet we don't know if this leak recording is real but it's been shown played and quoted by everyone what could victoria mean by i know perhaps something london doesn't want anyone else to know anyway forget feelings sympathy

human things that toria was obviously on a kremlin mission to reach the u.k. that's what you read in the papers in britain croman pawn get it reports are now coming in setting and then sources in british organizations the foreign office there are various theories some even say she was denied an answer because london allegedly things that week terrorist group also because it is organized by the kremlin that's absurd as long as the british authorities are in top of the whole screwball case and they have the facts what the media says might be irrelevant but basically officials haven't shared any facts that will make you scream russia did this russia did that to now that visa thing the pawn so when did speculation like this become a new british tradition like talking about the weather. so i guess group alaniz daughter were found unconscious on a park bench in the city of solsbury on the fourth of march british officials later

revealed the pair of being poisoned with a military grade nerve agent named norwich aka type which was said to be in first developed in the soviet union at the time that prompted some harsh words even from the prime minister trees in may he said those subjected to such a powerful nerve agent might never recover but as we've since seen both are out of comas and in a stable condition the scales gradual recovery is raised questions about how they managed to survive to report to the being poisoned by a nerve agent of such strength to discuss the issue with former director general of the international organization of the prohibition of chemical weapons joe superstar me. from my point of view. after a distance of sixteen years of course i believe the decision by the u.k. he was premature you can decide in twenty four hours what type of poison was used and where it comes from why didn't they call immediately do b. c w and why didn't the opposite w volunteered to take action because this is the

role of doing decision immediately to go and identify and allies the victims take the blood samples and allies and try to identify because they have the capability to do that there are experts from all countries it's committee of people that are very expert very capable of doing this work so i was surprised and to see that it was so premature decision to identify the poison idea to find the source of the poison without giving a chance to the specs as though the international going to which is after all the the national organ with the mandate to do this type of job many questions related to the use of this poison for example how do you control and limit the use of this boy's into only two people if it's know of a truck as the announced it was it's not something that will not affect much mini more people. even those who. use through the poison

gas. because it was standing there led the o.p.c. w. for five years from one thousand nine hundred seven to two thousand and two there's been much speculation as to why he quit just to see was leaving his position it came to light that he'd upset washington by encouraging iraq to become a member of the o p c w which would have meant iraq having to destroy all of its chemical weapons that was apparently viewed as an obstacle to the u.s. intention to engage in military action in iraq in an open letter supporting bustani many activists demanded to put world peace of u.s. unilateralism there was one man who was particularly against as a personality being obese e w chief john bolton who at the time was the undersecretary of state for arms control and international security affairs he's now just recently been appointed as the us national security advisor to take up that position surely as it was stanley says his intentions to make iraq

a member of the group stood in the way of u.s. ambitions. i got a phone call from john bolton from washington the first time i had contact with him it said that i had his structures two through to tell me that i should resign from the organization and i asked him why he said your management style was not agreeable to washington to dick cheney the vice president cetera said no way i don't accept that so he came to the hague and you keep to my office and he said you have to resign and i give you twenty four hours this is what we want and i said no way i don't have any reason to doubt it to you i was elected by acclimation by all the member states of a good musician it's only you you out there see if they are challenged my management style and they said but then again i tell you we have already discussed with your government that you should resign or said i don't nor any agreement with my government and then they said ok so they'll be retaliations and appear to to to

to accept the consequence we know where your kids are and the moment or two of mice kids were in new york the studied united states one of them is american for that matter was born in new york is a brazilian american and i had another daughter in london. and i said i'm not at a period of my family's is my family is is a whale that's going on to spear to fix what it was so go ahead he was a little bit shocked that he left his not a man you can have a dialogue with. the evacuation of civilians in militants from syria's eastern good has been suspended according to russia's defense ministry to one of the militant groups which had previously agreed to leave the enclave violated that agreement the district has been and an army blockade thousand and thirteen after was captured by rebel groups the rebels have used the district as a launching point to shell residential areas of damascus that schools numerous

civilian deaths based janet leigh gave us the latest on the situation. according to the russian ministry of defense official militants obstructed the deal of their evacuation with their families from doing many eastern water to northern syria they also according to a syrian official military source blocked from accepting from via humanitarian corridors an open gunfire at demonstrators and side who are calling on the militants to leave of course this comes after a sub members and senior commanders are. turned against this evacuation deal reached last week over there inside. and those senior commanders actually ousted the other commanders who were negotiating with russia on this deal after of course such developments the syrian government forces

stepped up their military actually attacks and started a new ground offensive against militants enjoyment in order to militarily get rid of there was militants inside particularly of course. but before that it was violated and proved fairly effective for thousands of people both civilians and militants as well as militants family members that used the code those to leave the district. building. that was. the president gone or has been forced to limit

military cooperation after the with the u.s. after mass protests we'll explain all after the break. we try to deconstruct all these manipulative dichotomies showing the world that islam is a religion and it's a peaceful religion and it's possible to be a practicing muslim and so believe that the koran is the word of god and that's the same time a member of secular societies it is possible. what politicians do. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. wanted. to go right to be first this is what before reasonable people. might be interested in the water.

should. go back to the united states will not be offered a military base and go on the president of the west african nation officially announced this first. ghana has not offered a military base and will not offer a military base to the united states of america statement comes after mass protests in garner's capital against the military deal with the us the demonstrators were worried such an agreement would give washington too much influence over the country's sovereignty multi-course political standoff looks at how the us and some

other nations have been trying to gain a stronger foothold on the continent. is wooing africa boasting about their strong historical bond a family tree washington's key argument is seven thousand strong. scattered all across the continent the impression this mouse makes is unambiguous africa is no one's playpen but america's this impression is wrong though in fact many african nations prefer relations are not secured by the u.s. dollar and ghana is the latest country on the u.s. troublemaker list and for washington it couldn't have come at a worse time the pentagon understands hearts and minds are there for the taking external actors may diminish u.s. influence by undermining our development and diplomatic efforts in africa nonetheless as the strategic environment becomes more crowded and competitive are engaging with external actors like china and russia will continue with an open and

clear discussion of intersecting interests and differences beijing's clearly stepping on americans tollways in africa chinese firms have invested billions of dollars into the continent's infrastructure their contribution has been the catalyst for a continental free trade area somewhat equivalent to the european union but much bigger soft power has got washington in a twist with sales pitches attempting to undermine china's expansion in africa partner with. good governance to meet long term security and development goals. this stands in stark contrast to trial as approach which encourages dependency using opaque contracts predatory loan practices and corrupt deals rex tillerson then washington's chief a mystery went on a charm offensive to africa back in march his trip coincided with russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov visit

a clear sign more school is forced to do business with africa to their diplomatic marathon across the continent set off from the same hotel in. but there's no indication whether rex tillerson managed to tip the balance of power during the visit after all why would anyone listen to a man who was shown the door the day he returned to american shores if i were a betting man i would bet the united states would lose the competition not only with china but with russia turkey perhaps even with friends state that because in part united states has a very arrogant attitude that it takes towards people from africa and that's to set aside which is in an states does not have the economic right answer where i want to compete with china in any case and then finally there is growth nation on the african continent with regard to u.s. interference in the internal affairs of african continents all in all i would say

that united states prospects in africa going forward are rather for. the u.s. department of homeland security's recruiting staff to compile a database the same monitoring journalists around the world under this plan the government would track well than two hundred ninety thousand global news source is more than one hundred languages including chinese arabic and russian it would also focus on so-called influences on social media but the database is raising concerns . maybe the trump homeland security forces would like this at least we're monitoring bracelet and submit themselves to tatsu to cool the office of homeland security once the docs all the journalists in the country this isn't bad at all when you have a president who has called the press the enemy of the american people i think in sunder stand a bill for people to be concerned when d.h. asked announces that they want to create a media monitoring platform meanwhile

a spokesperson for homeland security is pushing back against suggestions that the plan will compromise freedom of speech saying that media monitoring is standard practice and comparing critics to conspiracy theorists we spoke to political talk show host brian crabtree to get his take on the plan i'm a little puzzled why everyone can't look in their own mirror in the united states and realize we do have a media problem here our big think we've got to do something to this incentivize fake news which is basically lying or creating a disingenuous presentation to the american people which is ultimately misleading as to the facts i don't think that that should be outlawed but i think it should be frowned upon enough that society just doesn't tolerate it we've got to hold our media accountable to the truth whatever does that i'm for if we step one one bit over that line i'm vehemently against it. on day slavery is on

the rise in the european union that's according to a report by the council of europe and some countries labor exploitation has overtaken sex trafficking we spoke to one of the authors of the report. there is an increase in the number of people who fall victim to this to not know there are a number of countries where labor trafficking emerges as the main farm in the u.k. a party girl cyprus a few other countries there are more victims of labor trafficking now being in a defined and sexual so this is a new trend and the report is actually talking about this. with this report covers the period that run from january of two thousand and seventeen and mentions forty seven countries my view workers are mostly at risk with mo victims from its. culture and hospitality and females in domestic or work roma people and homeless children are also reportedly susceptible to being exploited report calls for

countries to improve their laws as well as work with n.g.o.s and businesses perching yester of again it's not really these are people who want they come from countries in europe countries where the problems currently make a lot of people unemployed and the problem is often they have debts they have example accumulated debts in order to travel to another country. or they paid some fees to the agency which employing them their passport is taken the way they're not made the salary never promised or they're not and anything they're made to work very long working hours there are a lot of people who are from within the european union countries who moved out because of the same bulgarians going to spain or maine astutely but they're also people come from countries in africa and asia and latin america so to draw a transnational phenomenon. in a much lighter note we have

the background of rising interest rates and trade wars and heated up rhetoric and political kind of posturing with atomic weapon armed foes as got folks. service member you know the tech sector that's leading this rally we've seen for the past five or six years requires a logistics on a global basis to work in perfect sync so if there's going to be a fallout if some countries are going to go to war with each other we're going to trade wars which can be cyber wars that means that platforms that require precision and sinking fall out and drop out and crashing in different areas and so their revenues have got to suffer as a result plus we've eats reached the end of the line is ation and kind of deification platforms like facebook you know who came into.
