because we're going to do part of it there that's maria's or her of the russian foreign ministry spokes person we were there for about twenty minutes we had a tip of she's going to talk about what was happening in syria the ministry says there are reports of hundreds of russian military contract as have been killed by u.s. led coalition strikes in syria were false that were listening out for not the start of it we went through the whole of the diary for the coming months she went to stress that this information about only five russian deaths she said but their nationalities are still being confirmed were went on to say as well to warn the u.s. media to be careful with the facts and not spin fake news regarding russia in syria . other news today israel's justice minister says the country must do everything to protect its jewish majority majority even if it means violating human rights there is a place to maintain and jewish majority even at the price of violating rights israel is a jewish state it is in the state of all its judit is nations that is equal rights to all citizens but not eq

sorry nicky what more did the russian foreign ministry spokesperson have to say about all this quite complicated isn't it. well kevin well after all the speculation and conflicting reports we've seen in the mainstream media in the past few days we now have the russian line on what happened in the syrian province of d.r. as the last week media reports have alleged that anything from several dozens to more than six hundred russian military personnel all mercenaries were killed in these u.s. strikes last week. the harvard today speaking in a press briefings that actually the number according to preliminary reports is more like five and these five people may have been russian but then again they may not have the nationalities or identities of these people have still not been confirmed but what she was very clear and very adamant on was that these people were not russian military personnel in fact she said russian military were not even in the vicinity at the time of these u.s. strikes the media reports doing the rounds of the past few days about the dozens or hundreds of russian military

government fire wall was breached and sensitive information stolen from both the defense and foreign ministries the hackers are said to belong to the same group that attacked the democratic national committee ahead of the two thousand and sixteen u.s. presidential election also coming up and no more the international olympic committee lives doping ban on russia the athletes tests at the pyongyang the winter olympics they came back negative and why were investigative reporter young and his fiance martina over shot dead could there be a link to what turned out to be the final story. barbara goff it's good to have you with us reports are coming in tonight that the german government's computers have been hit in a cyber attack berlin confirming that a group infiltrated the foreign and defense ministries and may have stolen sensitive data sources say a hacking group with alleged links to the russian government broke into the government's network the attacks were apparently discovered in december but were only made public today the. ministry of the interior confirmed tonight of the attacks took place.

have been given two of the major ministries or maybe three of the major ministries namely the foreign ministry the finance ministry and the ministry of labor especially interesting here is that the social democrats are taking over the finance ministry which for the last forward four years was run by the christian democrats by the conservatives so it seems that the conservatives have made quite major concessions to the social democrats in order to make this agreement possible hence just a note to our viewers that there's a little box in the lower right hand side of the screen while we are monitoring that crowd right behind you we're waiting for the party leaders to come out and give a statement about this final agreement we'll be listening life to that as soon as they arrive there hans but as you said there were some major concessions made by americans conservatives what does that tell us about the position that they are in . well knuckle herself when she went into the negotiations yesterday morning more than twenty four hours again ago was already speaking about the need to make what she calle

of social democrats a foreign ministry would be in the hands of martin chose who is passionately pro european hides who has indeed stress on various occasions that he would like a strong good judgment participation within european institutions and he has a proven track record as well all right to max nobody's breaking out the champagne just yet but is this agreement a step in the right direction for germany's european partners. well i think i heard some champagne bottles over there of the european commission because of what is does mentioned it's all over the handwriting of the include your group the president of the european commission i'm sure he's very satisfied with that and he told us as much but the real importance here is the real important message for the rest of europe germany is most likely at least back has most likely again or likely at least a functioning government and that's important for what the european union is attempting to do in the next months and years big reforms for example the eurozone reform and again as your own food you were put it we have to repair the r

of february they had of the foreign ministry of all issues. the foreign ministers are to have a very substantial meeting it was not at all certainly. it was one of our guests will have a number of moment to see how the council. ration of the security council of russia because we see as one of the leading partners of russia and the muslim world it would have a lot of this carmen when it comes to international and regional affairs we. balance. and support was any effort. both rely on the international law and we both believe that the people's shoes is being given right that was the right to do so for themselves what kind of future they want it we also have similar views. libya together we have already compiled a number of projects to work on our ties are very diverse so what we have a constant. work on the e-mail to the deck nicko track on the energy track we cooperate in many areas of the fields including culture and humanitarian affairs our trade as lean increasing now it's more than three billion dollars during the last year's meeting. a numbe

government fire wall was breached and sensitive information stolen from both the defense and foreign ministries the hackers are said to belong to the same group that attacked the democratic national committee ahead of the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election also coming up the international olympic committee lifts its doping ban on russia after the remaining tests of the country's athletes at the winter olympics come back negative so does this draw a line under moscow's massive state run doping scandal. and fears grow in germany over the welfare of the tens of thousands of homeless people forced to live outside those temperatures plunge to record lows. i bring coffee it's good to have you with us reports tonight coming in that the german government's computers have been hit in a cyber attack berlin confirming that a hacking group infiltrated the foreign and defense ministries and may have stolen sensitive data sources say a hacking group with alleged links to the russian government broke into the government network the attacks were apparently discovered. ember but were only made public tod

the interior confirmed this attack they say it's isolated now and under control apparently the foreign ministry concerned as well we do not know exactly how big the damage is what we do know is that malware was installed on the government's servers and also all of that data was stolen this attack might have started up to a year of bill it was then only discovered in december and published today and we know the german media are reporting that a group known as a p t twenty eight was behind the attack what do we know about this group. well these so-called a.p.t groups in general are concerned or are considered the most among the most powerful and professional hacking groups worldwide and security experts believe that there are about one hundred fifty groups like this operating internationally and they're extremely well prepared well equipped with financial resources also with personnel and the and the necessary know how to carry out these kinds of attacks so that security experts believe that state actors are behind them or supporting them at least simply because otherwise they wouldn't be able to

news agency goes further it quotes unnamed sources who say that the german foreign ministry in the ministry of defense have been targeted what sort of attacks are we talking about here that's right the german interior ministry just confirmed these attacks that were carried out by the way during the whole year or maybe even a year ago they were just. discovered in december and published only today by the german news agency that you just quoted it's unclear helping the damage really is the fear is of course that certain networks off the government are infiltrated here what we do know is that malware was uploaded to the government servers here of the interior ministry and probably all the foreign ministry as well and that data will stolen now the d.p.a. story suggests that a group calling itself the a p t twenty eight was behind the attack what can you tell us about this group. well the so-called a.p.t groups are among the most powerful hacker groups worldwide and security experts believe that there are around one hundred fifty of these groups operating on a very highly professional level they

is quoting unnamed security sources who say the foreign ministry and the ministry of defense have been the targets of cyber attacks what sort of attacks are we talking about here and have they been confirmed they haven't been confirmed yet officially but they are two quite reliable sources as you mentioned already deep a one of them quoting a security official so i think we can take this as a matter of fact apparently the government system was attacked were was placed on the government servers in the government network and also data was stolen from these networks from basically the inner core of data intelligence in germany and this tag was already discovered in december but got public only today now that d.p.a. a news agency story suggests that a group calling itself a a p t twenty eight was behind the attack what do we know about this group. well a.p.t stands for advanced persistent threat and these are groups intelligence authorities believe that there are some one hundred fifty around the world and all these groups are. particularly well equipped when it comes to time money and kno

briefly he confirmed basically that the social democrats have been given the finance ministry the foreign ministry and the ministry of labor these are clearly three very crucial ministries for the social democrats and mean that they have driven a hard bargain in this discussion with the conservatives until now the finance ministry was controlled by the conservatives they have given that up to give it to the social democrats also the foreign ministry obviously is important and for the social democrats controlling labor is crucial for their membership crucial for their policies crucial for the questions that they have been trying to push for during these negotiations on the conservative side one of two conservative politicians also enter the bowling recently for further discussions for finalizing the final documents that are going to be released here soon and there have been saying that's difficult concepts sions painful disco concessions as i call them have to be made through the console through the social democrats in order to ensure that germany will have a new government and a functioning govern

confirmed these attacks they say they were isolated and brought under control right now the foreign ministry is concerned as well by these hack her attacks these attacks might have started up to a year ago they were then discovered in december but only published today it's unclear right now how big the damage really is but what we do know is that malware was installed on the government service and apparently dates valuable and sensitive fatal will still and and we know that german media are reporting tonight that a group called a p t twenty eight was behind the attack what do we know about this group. well these so-called a.p.t groups are among the most professionally operating hacking groups worldwide and security experts believe that there are about one hundred fifty of these groups active and they are highly professional very well equipped with money personnel and with know how to kill or and for that reason experts believe that they're run or supported by state actors simply because they could not be that well equipped otherwise now with regards to that group you mentioned a p t twenty e

minister the foreign ministry finance ministry and the ministry for labor and social affairs those are the three ministries where the money's being spent and would gemini's role in the well that's being defined so this is a major success and this is what i can read into this. message that's come out from the whatsapp group this is there any information we have so far from the s.p.d. now whether that's going to convince the s.p.d. based on not that far and anybody's guess as we know they have to give their steel into the posse base so that they or the four hundred sixty thousand s.p.d. members can actually vote on that deal and there are also people who said whatever they negotiate i just don't want to be in a coalition government with uncle michael so we'll see that's right the legitimacy of the p.d. the credibility of the s.p.d. i should say is that state to some degree in these talks because they initially after the election said no no no you know the party leader martin shows never going to go in a coalition again with with chancellor merkel at thi

to take what ministry and especially by the fact that schultz has basically given himself the foreign ministry. this discussion certainly will now it is hoped be more about the content more about the substance of this coalition agreement than about bickering about who is taking what and pushing whom is side and that sort of thing so there is i think basically a better chance that this decision will now be done on the basis of substance and there's a greater likelihood that it will be accepted by the social democratic rank and file where do you feel shows this decision leaves social democrats today while the party is in chaos there's no other way of putting it this strange thing is that shows was elected as a member as leader of the party just under a year ago with one hundred percent vote with a euphoria that had that was unprecedented so within that year he's come to this point ways had to resign due to the internal party tensions due to infighting at the top due to dissatisfaction at the bottom of the party itself really is completely in cows doesn't really know where to go from here and it'

foreign ministry only and therefore it needs to be if not even. and this scope of the un resolutions could be so complex in my discussion with chinese called the press i always get the impression that they don't get the. deep understanding that with lucia's which they agreed. perhaps they chose not to understand but it's not only china that aids and abets north korea in its missile program in two thousand and twelve the south korean navy recovered from the sea what was left of a missile north korea had launched it contained parts from many different countries cobbled together by hand. the fourteen kinds of foreign source tied himself on the. three rockets and most items my fashion to overtake rome united kingdom former soviet union seat china u.s. south korea so all countries which have rejected export control regulation what do you feel good but that could be a bit of a speech or whatever oh yes and that's a key component that's a key while robots mockers pretty certain that north korea is not in fact making much headway in developing its own bal

foreign ministry spokesman said that the assertion that iran would fly a drone into israeli airspace is clearly a lie that is so ridiculous it's not even worth a response now that was from the foreign ministry and for all the specific details in the early part of the day the iranian government deferred to the syrians they see this as an incident that happened between the israeli military and the syrian military yes iran is present to help support the government of bashar al assad but they see this is a specific incident that israel is trying to use to bring more criticism against iran once again and so we saw them very clearly letting syria and the syrian government take the lead in terms of responding. to the issue of the drone syria for its part said that it was a surveillance drone being used to monitor islamic state targets in the area but the very fact that iran deferred to them is very clear indication that they completely deny the allegation by the israeli government that the drone was launched by iran or ever encroached into israeli airspace staying with syria and a turkish m

foreign ministry have got the s.p.d. aren't you afraid that you're going to have to do more towards what mccann wants then you might want to. buy m forty two when it comes to positioning as. the france scope of me what do you think is going to happen are you going to be pulling the putting on the brakes the whole time to slow down the social democratic ministries and then mr schwartz it would seem then when it comes to your citizens health insurance you haven't been able to do what you wanted but you've got three important ministries here how are you going to defused the impression towards your members that at the end of the day it was more about ministries perhaps your own position and not so much about content. well first of all the mostly year financial framework is dealt with by the foreign ministry and that's nothing new it's been the case for some time now and i've weathered it fine we have to social democrat ministers in the past with parish time work in the first grand coalition from two thousand and five to two

the russian government has largely kept silent about them and even denied their existence the foreign ministry took over a week to respond after a recent airstrike reportedly killed up to two hundred russians which. reports of the deaths of dozens and hundreds of russian citizens is a classic case of dissent from ation according to preliminary data we could be talking about the death of five people presumably russian citizens as a result of an armed clash the causes of which we are currently investigating. analyst john but i need skeet thinks the russian government is using mercenary groups to keep official military losses low. which you want to look at because this strategy is beneficial for the russian government because it can show it's doing its job but just like the americans and the british russia can say those aren't our soldiers no soldiers have died but yet we don't know who these people are asked who were sent in there but. in the run up to the presidential elections news about the death of russian soldiers is inconvenient for the government here even from kids this small town in the

we do as a rule reply to all inquiries we received by the foreign ministry. but i can provide no information on this particular matter. and you can prepare first. as has been said such inquiries are answered as a rule but that's a huge allegation it is indeed an allegation but from my perspective i would not say it is a serious one because i presume that if it were the president himself would have been approached or i would have been approached by the foreign ministry. and i haven't heard that that has happened. does not amount to a clear denial this is mission remains that germany has failed to support un monitors the way it should now. it's not just small parts that have made their way into kim jong un's missiles things all kinds of goods under north korea by road. we know that get delivered the question is what does it say on the paperwork for the missile components were sent to libya that were declared as water purification equipment. to north korea the volume of deliveries is not great we're not talking about large numbers of items. you know official pho

present here at this conference which takes place in the downtown of moscow and the russian foreign ministry said gay lover of said that all known syrian troops should leave the region she also called for the u.s. troops to emit the shout down there is zone of conflict which is located in the south and part of syria this is where the rug refugee camp is situated. as well as russia believes that this very camp is used as the recruitment ground for militant groups. because we are concerned about attempts to partition syria some of the ground the u.s. has already started to realize on the ground. here is claims that we're only going to fight isis to preserve the country's integrity of the but i think that washington needs to back its work with action but with good because right now susan actions are not provocative but the u.s. would use this to pursue its own ambitions and that's led to a major conflict in africa as well with music you know people well this point of view is shared by the official syrian delegation which is here as well now i've just spoken to be seen a shabana it was their pol

democrats will get three major ministries in the new government that is to be formed bettors the foreign ministry the finance ministry and the ministry of labor in addition to another couple of maybe less important ministries there's been much speculation about what the role of a speedy leader martin shows is going to be it has been reported for some time this morning that he is likely to be foreign minister which you would agree with the fact that he spent a lot of his political life in brussels in the european parliament in other words he is somebody who has a lot of interests and a lot of competence in foreign policy but there has been some some speculation that in order to become foreign minister he might give up eating being as the leader of the social democratic party that he might hand over party leadership to another leading politicians of the social democrats when asked about this the leading social democrats that we're entering the building behind me now in the last few minutes have refused to comment and have said that shows himself is going to be speaking in the not too distant future

role in the world with a foreign ministry you also have the finance ministry where you get to talk to everybody in brussels all the time remember the eurozone crisis where the finance minister talk to greece and the labor and social affairs ministry but of course s.p.d. members are saying we need a proper renewal and we also need to get policy package is more concrete policies and they have failed to deliver those for example in the issue of immigration they have been pushed to the side by the more conservative conservative party in the varia let's take a step back and look at the them from the european perspective a lot of people waiting for germany to form a government how do you think they will see the development that we've seen today. in brussels you know the french president has been waiting for example and putting pressure also we've seen representatives in brussels putting pressure on the german government to come to an agreement so that they can move forward with their plans to reform for example of the european union the european union is in a state of tall crisis some might

managed to get a good deal out of it they got three key ministries out of that coalition deal foreign ministry finance ministry and labor ministry but it was obviously the case that within the s.p.d. there was a very interesting and a very delicate debate as well about personnel and also about what would happen with different positions in the future government and that will also explains why we're seeing these developments now whereas some s.p.d. members have come out for example on social media saying that they would still like sigma gabriele to remain foreign minister because he's after all one of germany's most popular politicians other politicians other s.p.d. members have said well now after mr shows his decision it's time for the s.p.d. to talk about content and they will only start talking about personnel after the very important vote by the entire s.p.d. membership four hundred sixty three thousand people who will decide if that coalition deal goes in fact ahead they are the ones that have to give the green light to this coalition deal before it can actually come into fruition before i

a break in terms of german of commitment of german taxpayer dollars to europe with both the foreign ministry and the finance ministry now in social democratic hands i think that will give a significantly different tilt to european union policy from berlin and certainly that represents that comes at a key time with very important proposals from the french president emmanuel mccall on the table in regard to a new dynamic for europe i think we may see some some real movement here from berlin if it does fulfil what it set out in the coalition. chief political correspondent correspondent melinda crean thank you so much for your continued coverage and we want to delve even deeper now with political scientist spanier crushes with the humboldt university and berlin and joins me here on the set thank you so much for spending time with us before we get into the nitty gritty of this deal and what has been agreed to listening to american schultz a short while ago they had warm words for each other are these two politicians who fundamentally see the world through the same eyes well i would say through th

but one day after him ship which was suspended from office the defense ministry said the accusations appeared to be a foreign disinformation campaign in a statement it said there is a high possibility that this is a white information operation from outside and its aim is to show latvia as an untrustworthy ally. to ministry didn't say which country was behind that campaign but there's little doubt it meant russia the russian foreign ministry and moscow refused comment but the bribery accusations come from a russian businessman and with elections due later this year fears are mounting that the kremlin could be attempting to sway the outcome the defense ministry says that dissin from ation campaign closely resembles others that preceded recent french german and us elections. let's bring in made kotel now editor of the german language newspaper pointed to one show in warsaw or the last in defense minister says this is a misinformation campaign that the implication being that russia is behind it how likely is that. we don't have any hard evidence of course so we can on you only speculate based on the past. for ex

but we are hearing perhaps appropriately on facebook from a spokesperson for the russian foreign ministry calling these indictments absurd saying that thirteen people couldn't possibly have impacted the u.s. elections talking about the billions that the u.s. spends on intelligence encounter intelligence and said this is absurd yes with a question mark this will probably not help what is already pretty low point in the russian u.s. relationship the president president donald trump saying that russia did interfere but that it had nothing to do with him it didn't impact the election he so far has been really unwilling to do anything to punish russia for what many people here in washington say was blatant interference in the presidential election. south africa's new president has pledged a new tone for the country in his first state of the nation address civil room opposable sworn in on thursday after the resignation of his predecessor jacob zuma the former union leader and businessman promised to unite the country and put the economy back on track but opposition parties say his plans a thin
