For now though lets move on to some other news Donald Trumps former campaign chief Paul Matta Ford and his associate rick gates are under house arrest after being indicted in the special counsels russia investigation both men pled not guilty to charges including conspiracy and Money Laundering and other former trump advisor George Papadopoulos has pled guilty to lying to f. B. I. Agents donald trump denies any collusion between his Campaign Team and moscow during the two thousand and sixteen president ial election a Trump Campaign chief turns him self then to the f. B. I. A key advisor makes a guilty plea as the russia investigation closing in on Donald Trumps white house. Palm on a four was at trump site when the billionaire outsider accepted the republican nomination so when full and show he is said to have handpicked trumps Vice President mike pence the man just behind him has also been charged flanked by his lawyer he surrendered himself to the f. B. I. On monday he reacted with stands accused of acting for years as an authorized agent of the pro russian Ukrainian Government. For there is no evidence that mr mann of fort of the tribe campaign colluded with the russian government even so the judge placed metaphor under house arrest. The white house insists the charges are not definitive evidence of links to russia. Weve been saying from day one theres been no evidence of trumped russia collusion and nothing in the indictment today changes that at all but washington was in for more surprises a special prosecutor robert millers investigation into russian meddling in last years election gathers pace millers team had secured a guilty plea from former Foreign Policy advisor George Papadopoulos seen here in a meeting with trump. In a signed indictment he admitted lying about meetings with russian government connections offering darts on Hillary Clinton the white house played down his guilty plea. Is nothing to do with the activities of the campaign and has to do with his failure to tell the truth that doesnt have anything to do with the campaign or the campaigns activities for talks with Capitol Police no cooperating with f. B. I. Investigators these three charges may be just the start of a new phase in the investigation. So paul metaphor it is being accused of acting as an unauthorized agent of the Ukrainian Government so lets get the view from kiev we have our correspondent Nicholas Conley standing by for us there hi nick what have kiev said in response. Well sumi the response has been eerily quiet here late last night we had a very carefully worded statement from the Prosecutors Office saying that they had been investigating illegal payments by former president a coachs party to u. S. Individuals that theyd asked the u. S. To cooperate with several years ago but havent heard back but apart from that really we havent had much response from anyone really the Ukrainian Government now is between a rock and a hard place on the one hand they want to show themselves fully cooperative with the u. S. Investigation as a loyal u. S. Allies as they see themselves on the other hand they dont want to do anything that could possibly compromise or embarrass President Trump who as you remember last summer fired off a tweet saying that the ukrainians are trying to sabotage his campaign he never provide any evidence for that but that certainly is the fear here to do nothing that could possibly endanger those ties to washington paul metaphor he was fired as a Campaign Manager after became clear that he was working for pro russian interests and ukraine and hes now under house arrest on charges of funneling payments as part of political work in ukraine what was he trying to do for the Ukrainian Government. Turned. Up in ukraine around two thousand and five. The. President had lost an election had been prevented from taking power by the first orange revolution his job was to really polish his image here internationally and also to help him with his strategy inside the country that wasnt really unusual for manifold he worked for a whole host of unsavory political figures starting with the philippine dictator marcos in the eightys the real issue here is though that he didnt pay the tax in the u. S. And that ghana coach is pro russian back as probably would have known that which obviously leaves him open to blackmail. Nicolas connelly with the view from kiev there nic thank you very much. Now to some other stories making news around the world at least fifteen people have been killed in airstrikes on the Eastern Libyan city of daraa now it has come under siege from the Libyan National army forces loyal to the region strongman the city is now controlled by a coalition of islamist militants and rebels that had pushed out i asked fighters in two thousand and fourteen. Police in ukraine are investigating the murder of a woman linked to opponents of the russian government ameena was shot dead and her chechen husband adam was my of was wounded after they were attacked in their car. Now russias accused the husband of my own for you see here of plotting to kill president vladimir putin. At least for Rohingya Muslims have drowned after a wooden boat carrying refugees capsized off the Bangladesh Coast at least twenty three people were rescued but more than a dozen remain missing some six hundred thousand were him to have fled to bangladesh since august to escape Ethnic Violence in the in our. Lawyers acting for Asylum Seekers at an australian run Detention Center in papa new guinea of warned that detainees there face a catastrophic situation authorities on minus island want to relocate Asylum Seekers theyve closed at the controversial facility housing them that has led to a standoff with hundreds of Asylum Seekers who fear they will be attacked by locals if they step foot outside. Their refusing to leave the conditions at the Detention Center have been described as unbearable so many here fear what comes next could be even worse local authorities want to relocate them to nearby facilities but many fear for their lives following a string of threats and violence from locals. They are not going to give us a safety guarantee thats what im saying here but the odds are stacked against them on tuesday authorities are set to cut off water electricity and Food Supplies theyre also warning they wont take any responsibility for those refusing to resettle even then many refused to budge. What we do is this water we just put a little bit of sugar and salt and we drink this water we can as they maybe for a month. The Asylum Seekers are caught in a limbo created by a stray strict immigration policy the island nation refuses to settle any refugees who arrived by boat instead its been paying its neighbor papa new guinea to house the in silence seekers the last year that countrys Supreme Court ordered the Detention Center to close meanwhile protesters gathered in sydney demanding authorities guarantee the refugee safety its a human rights on these people the government just keeps banging on about illegal immigration when its not illegal its a human rights to seek asylum in the meantime the Asylum Seekers say theyll continue to dig in their heels and try to run out the clock as her lawyers seek a Court Injunction to keep the facility open. Lets talk to Elaine Pearson shes the australia director of Human Rights Watch and she joins us highland thank you very much for being with us on our program today australias government has a very strict refugee policy as we mentioned in that report and it argues that this policy helps to crack down on people smugglers by turning back boats isnt that the governments duty. Well look i mean the government acknowledges that this policy is harsh it says its harsh but effective but honestly any policy that rests on a human sacrifice of two thousand people who have been stuck on menace island in papa new guinea and over the past four years their lives in limbo some of them have committed suicide many of them. You know its not worth it i mean you cant have this kind of policy that basically rests on sacrificing human life in order for its success so this is why its extremely problematic and lets face it the majority of the people who are on menace im never happy thousand to be refugees that means they have a legitimate fear of persecution and the head of the right to leave their home countries and to seek safety in other countries their only mistake was to try to come to australia by boat alaina trying to come to australia by boat the Australian Government says it is actually protecting human life by turning back boats because its preventing smugglers from even trying that passage in the first place. Well look there are lots of other ways that you could protect lives at sea that giant rely on treating them in the humane ways and keeping them on remote Pacific Islands where theyve been vulnerable to violence and even in some cases where theyve been killed so look you know we have recommended to the strained up time and again to set up Reception Centers in transit countries like thailand malaysia indonesia where people could be prosperous and honestly i think if people had the right to work in these countries that kids could go to school they wouldnt feel compelled to go on boats but that is the reason why they have got number its to try to come to australia and you know unfortunately these people have ended up. I mean i was there last month i spoke to refugees from burma for instance who you know ranges they have no possibility to go back to their home country and yet theyre stuck in this country that doesnt want them where they have no employment prospects and you know where quite frankly for the last four years its been very difficult i strongly has accepted if you look at the year two thousand and fifteen sixteen more than thirteen thousand people through its humanitarian programs the legal status it also committed to a one time except of acceptance of an additional Twelve Thousand refugees that have been fleeing syria and iraq how much more can a really a take in. Well this really is a very big country i mean yes i think its great that australia resecting people through the Refugee Resettlement program but the reality is a stranger is an island and unlike a lot of other countries there are very people that are coming across its borders claiming asylum and so when that has happened in large numbers and i think it was thirty thousand people back in twenty thirteen over the course of the this became somewhat of a crisis the whole world is facing these viruses and just because those people arent dying any more journeys to a stray leah it doesnt mean that they arent leaving their countries to seek asylum in a lot of places ok Elaine Pearson the australia director of Human Rights Watch i thank you for joining us on our program today. Youre watching data but your news still to come a new climate report and another dire warning for the planet the Scientists Say even targets in the Paris Agreement might not save often dangerous and Global Warming will speak to one of germanys leading experts on the subject. The first of a good day for samsung shareholders for a change thats right soon the Korean Electronics giant has forecast substantial increases and shareholder returns for the next three years shareholders will reap the benefits of record any quarter three profits up nearly one hundred fifty percent some some said it will increase its annual dividend by twenty percent this year and double it next year then it plans to hold it at that level until twenty twenty the companys share price has more than doubled since the beginning of twenty sixteen and with the growing demand for memory chips in advance display panels samsung is likely to post even bigger runnings in the coming quarters. Now when you listen to the news these days you might worry that heading for bad times economically speaking u. S. President trump threatening to cut the u. S. Off from globalization britain turning away from the e. U. Through braggs it and separatists trying to tell countries apart like inspection but you might be surprised to find that global trade is actually booming. German Engineering Companies are overwhelmed with work. And the orders keep coming in other industries as well. Demand for german products is not just growing at home but elsewhere in europe and globally experts say the main reason is an unexpected upswing in world trait. The outlook for International Imports and exports is far better than it was at the beginning of the year the World Trade Organization expects global trade to grow by three point nine percent this year the International Monetary fund even for costs that an increase of four point two percent is possible. The trend is expected to continue in the coming year as well. Thats down to the continued economic recovery across europe an important trading partner for many countries worldwide. Trade with the us is also strengthening trumps threats of import tariffs and other trade barriers have barely been implemented. This will also benefit Asian Countries which are posting a strong growth as a result of robust global trade. The bank of england expects london could lose up to seventy five thousand Financial Services jobs in the years following brags that this is according to a report by the b. B. C. The Central Bank Sees these figures as a reasonable scenario particularly if there is a no deal breaker currently one point one Million People unemployed in the Financial Sector of the country is means the industry could lose almost seventy percent of its workforce the bank of england maintains that london will remain one of the worlds five one of the Worlds LargestFinancial Centers after some economists had warned the capital could lose its status as a global financial. Aircraft maker today posted quarterly call operating earnings of six hundred ninety seven Million Euros as revenues rose two percent. These slightly underwhelming numbers were overshadowed by a surprise admission that the company had found socalled in accuracies and statements to the Us State Department regarding sales of military hardware this comes on top of unresolved legal troubles resulting from corruption probes in europe that may cost the Company Heavy fines. Their boss employees should prepare themselves for Turbulent Times this morning came from the c. E. O. Himself tom enders and was directed to around one hundred thirty thousand employees worldwide the c. E. O. Has also filed a corruption complaint with the british authorities against his own company and is wanted to clean up the european aircraft giant. This is going to be a long process and there are potentially serious consequences including significant penalties to the company this is what and his road to the aircraft makers staff in early october the extent of the damage is not yet known the allegations are of kickbacks during sales of air Bus Passenger and military aircraft the effort to boost business also involves the use of illicit funds and g. P. S. Sales agents for hot but boy from Transparency International one thing is clear the companys management has filed an end as a c. E. O. Is responsible. As of venice who is if its true that he didnt know then theres definitely organizational problems which can be traced back to him and theres no question about it because after twenty years of o. E. C. D. Rules ten years after the semen scandal to not ensure that you know whats happening in your company is impossible and especially in such a difficult business situation with competition from boeing another competitor is its clear theres a strong temptation to do Something Like that industry has taken more care even if you really didnt know. The result is that it could be hit with fines in the billions in britain and france and that could have a severe Economic Impact on the company in germany authorities are investigating the sale of fifteen euro fighter jets to austria here too theyre also believed to be irregularities but in germany theres been no indictment against the company only individual employees and we desperately need a corporate criminal law where companies are threatened by serious punishment this is long been the case in britain and france were thirty years behind and this is perhaps the consequence of the german age a network of interconnected German Companies who protect each other and its not ok. Global Companies Like airbus and siemens are particularly susceptible to corruption especially in situations where the local customs are more blurred. And is now needs to demonstrate full cooperation with the authorities. And thats all your business were trying to our top story with so we know thank you theyre hard well the adipose Catalan Leader carlos push the man has been holding a press conference in brussels a push him on and members of his Catalan Cabinet they travel to brussels on monday it was understood that they fled spain after prosecutors there said they would file charges against them for bally and that puts them on has said today he was not trying to escape justice and he rejects the charges against him our correspondent in brussels band record has been following this press conference he joins us now berent what else as pushing demand to been saying at this press conference. Mr push him and said that he would not apply for asylum for personally here in belgium because its not a belgian matter and also experts from belgium have signaled that he has no chance to get to saddam and he is still acting as if he were the president of qatar and he does not accept that he was sacked and ousted by the Spanish Government he says the independence declaration is still valid those spend its called say it is not and hes trying to establish a kind of a. Government in exile he brought five of his ministers here to brussels and we asked him of course when are you going back to catalonia and he said he will not escape from justice and he will stand his triage although he will be in a state in belgium until he gets can some guarantees that he would not be incarcerated for thirty years and so its not its unclear what he will do actually he says on the on the one hand he will go to back to sit to stand just as and even on the other hand he says he would stay in belgium his party take part in the snip elections in december and hes also saying that he doesnt want any violent sense that he wants to avoid any while and resistance in catalonia and it is unclear how the belgian authorities now would react hes also applying to the European Union to protect him to get engaged but there is no chance that the European Union will do that the u. S. Declared over and over again that it is siding with spain right bantry good for us there covering that Live Press Conference from the depots there Catalan Leader carlos bushman thats happening live right now in brussels a band to thank you for that update. And well continue to bring you the details of that story in upcoming shows. Now here in Germany Police have arrested a nineteen year old syrian man under suspicion of plotting and is the most inspired terror attack he was arrested during a raid by special forces in the town the more than two hundred kilometers north of the capital berlin federal prosecutors say the suspect had been gathering parts and chemicals for a highly explosive bomb since july it remains unclear if the man had selected to target but police say he intended to kill an large number of people. A new u. N. Report warns that drastic action is required on Carbon Emissions thats if the world is to reach targets agreed in the landmark Paris Climate Accord that was agreed two years ago and two years and it signed signatories are due to meet in bonn in germany next week for fresh talks but the uns emissions gap reports that even the paris accord might not go far enough to halt the impact of climate change. These majestic creatures could soon be a thing of the past polar bears depend on abundant Arctic Sea Ice fields for hunting and survival. But rising Global Temperatures have destroyed large parts of their habitats Scientists Say by two thousand and fifty the polar bear population could drop by more than a third. Harris more limiting the rise in temperature to less than two degrees was a central tenets of the paris climate agreement now the u. N. Says that school is at risk they say drastic measures need to be taken to cut Greenhouse Gas emissions even to the level outlined in the paris accord but even that would only achieve a third of what is needed to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Investing in Green Technology such as solar and wind energy could be part of the solution as well phasing out coal fired power plants and not building any new ones no easy task and with the worlds second largest Greenhouse Gas a matter the United States having pulled out of the deal that task will be all the more challenging lets take to mode the Research Division had at the Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research and kiel much of thank you very much for joining us this is a u. N. Report came out just a week before leaders meet bonn to work on implementing historic Paris Climate Accord it shows that even the pact targets arent enough and with the u. S. Pulling out of the deal is there really hope to get back on track here. Yes i think so i mean it goes well clear from the beginning that the Paris Agreement. Not be sufficient and to meet the two degree target to limit Global Warming to well below two degrees and there are states in america. There are companies you know who commit themselves to the parity agreement so i think what trumps that is not the last one so if these companies commit themselves or states like california what actions specific actions can they take to limit Carbon Dioxide and other emissions. Well i think. The price for Renewable Energies or for natural gas for instance is much cheaper than for coal and so it tamped of donald trump you know to save as he says to a safe the coal industry you know that wont work because this is against all rules of a market and therefore i believe that you know since the actors are not crazy that they will actually go into the objection of less. Poisoning technology knew about energy soda wind and so on right more Research Division had at the Humboldt Center for Ocean Research in kiel thank you so much for joining us on our program.
