And a strong denial from the u. S. President ial trump challenges accusations of racism after is allegedly remarks disparaging african countries trigger International Condemnation. Im sumi so much going to thank you for joining us we start out in iraq where at least thirty eight people have been killed and one hundred five wounded in twin bombings in central baghdad Officials Say thousand and three theres been no claim of responsibility yet but this latest attack there are similarities to previous bombings by the socalled Islamic State. And more on the story now with amir a saudi an iraqi journalist who is living here in berlin he joins us in our studio good morning to you as yet no one has claimed responsibility for these twin bombings last what do you think what is the government response been so far to this i think this is the First Response from mr bobbsey the Prime Minister of iraq give many orders for the intelligence to in the hands of their work and in concentrate on the sleeping cell i think in the end of the day is going to face i hope not but all the the size looks like iraq is going to see more. Similar attacks within back to the city in. A bodys government actually said that it had declared victory over islamist terrorists that had been operating in iraq what does that mean for the government ok to liberate area area in iraq from the hands of Islamic State doesnt mean the security hundred percent for of iraqis it is also the way to destroy them or and also to gain more power to gain more of the ground from them but the battlefield is now its not in the area but it is in the in the intelligence war against Islamic State not just in iraq but by the way also in europe and in the area in middle east how difficult has that intelligence war becoming i have jihad has gone underground again after being driven out of this territory it is typical the reaction of the heart is when they begin to lose surgery they respond and thats why in all the many of the expecting that seniority is going to happen they just want to say that we are still there we lost some directory but still we have in flew as we have the ability to bring detainees in the area and also these disabilities in the security cons. It within the company so how can the government protect against that kind of destabilisation i think. The exchange of the information with another intelligence not just in iraq and also in europe with the United States intelligence is also given back up for iraqis but in the end of the day its just clear there is no one hundred percent concept of the security in the everywhere in this in the country but especially in iraq i think exchanging information this is more most important know what days and also Political Solutions i mean most are in iraqi journalist a living here in berlin thank you very much for your insight thank you turkish president vegetate barito on says a military assault on a kurdish enclave in northwestern syria is imminent eto and also said the operation which is centered on the city of a frame aims to quote purge terror from his countrys southern border the areas controlled by a Kurdish Militia known as the y p g turkish troops are already stationed in rebel held territory in the outskirts of that city. To flooding event will come back as a journalist in erbil the capital of the kurdistan region in Northern Iraq and he joins us for more vladimir thank you very much for joining us what is the reaction been there to a president i dont want announcement while the kurds in syria doubt there will defend themselves on the. International community to stop but thats because theyre also saying. Is that outflow from other provinces in syria we mentioned vladimir that the main target is the city of offering thats in a kurdish enclave on the border why does everyone see this area such a major threat to turkey security well i think series are for now so i want to target because. There is no presence of u. S. Troops for us more easy for our long that are free. While the other areas the other kurdish areas theres american troops. Its been for a ported blood image that everyone has vowed to quote dead drown this syrian critics Border Security force that is being set up by the us were also talking about u. S. Backed militias here what does this tell us about on cross ties with Washington Well im not very happy with the u. S. Support for kurtz in syria against isis and they want america to stop their support but america has Just Announced that theyre going to support like prefer a thousand large border force on the border of turkey and thats why turkey is getting very anxious anxious and thats why probably now aired on this are stepping up this report. In syria attacking also the y. P. Jeeves lad amir tell us more about this group and why its considered a terrorist organization by ankara while the white. House on links of. Which in turkey is listed as a Paris Organization and thats why there is always so. Angry at us for supporting or the why did you buy the why are you itself says they have no links to the. If there is indeed this military assault that erda one has announced are there any fears of retaliation from kurdish groups in the region well so far have been no response from other kurdish groups princes or kurdish groups and the kurds in syria themselves theyre going to protect themselves against any purpose at that and that freedom is also another very easy area to attack because the kurds are very well dug in and out like a sort of mountainous area there so will not be very easy or that they this area is they really are journalists that im event in air bill the capital of the christiane region in Northern Iraq lattimer thank you youre welcome.

Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas has accused israel of ending the middle east Peace Process he said israels actions mean that the osce low accords no longer exist those one thousand nine hundred four agreements form the basis of ties between israel and the palestinians of us also stressed his opposition to u. S. President donald trump decision to recognize jerusalem as israels capital he declared that jerusalem is the eternal capital of the Palestinian People he made those comments at the opening of a p. L. O. Meeting in the west bank now abbas also had strong words for trump who said he would achieve the peace deal of the century between israel and the palestinians would. Trump those no we will not accept his project. Told him the deal of the century is the slap of the century and we will retaliate. Lets bring in norah miller shes an analyst with the curve a foundation thats a think tank specializing in International Affairs the thank you very much for joining us in our studio. What does this say about the middle east Peace Process is this a turning point or is it dead also i think its certainly a turning point in the relationship between a bus and President Trump it was quite surprising to many that their relations were pretty friendly ever since their meeting in d. C. Last year in may and then on the sidelines of the u. N. G. A. In september would come out and say oh were hoping that the Peace Process is going to be advanced by the help of President Trump and then in december came the american declaration and druce a limb and i think that a bus a speech in ramallah was all about catering to his palestinian audience in the sense that he tried to face save after having been so positive about so i think it was more aimed and geared towards a domestic audience what were seeing a sharpening rhetoric on all sides as youre saying and israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu he actually accused abbas of using trumps remarks as an excuse lets listen to what netanyahu said. His use does. Stick. To a single way to. Run away from the negotiations done it before you want to negotiate peace youve got to negotiate. Weve never put any preconditions on the garage and. So we hear netanyahu is there saying that abbas is choosing confrontation over negotiation but is israel actually proposing new negotiations when i think what israel is trying to do at this point in time is to make the most of this very pro israeli presidency under trum and i think what we will see in the next three or maybe possibly also seven years depending on whether trump will be reelected is israel trying to really push for many of the demands to be implemented now it could be very well the case that theyre trying to push for a renegotiation a restart of negotiations with the palestinians but certainly under israeli terms now the p. L. O. Supposed to be unveiling a new strategy for Going Forward for dealing with the u. S. And israel what do you think we can expect there in the strategy well i think in this context its interesting not only to look at what what excuse me what a bust said in ramallah but also what he didnt say in his speech and remark he came out with a very fiery rhetoric but he said very little on concrete action he could have for example mentioned that the p. L. O. Is going to cancel the security collaboration with israel in the palestinian territories or he could have said that there would have been a very dressed extent that he was going to dissolve the Palestinian Authority altogether he didnt say all of those things because they would have undermined his own power base so i think eventually what were going to see is a very fiery a very assertive rhetoric on the part of the palestinians but possibly not the same degree of action on the ground to be taken nor miller with the curb or foundation a think tank a thank you very much for your analysis thank you susan. Now in Jakarta Police say more than seventy people were hurt when a crowded walkway in the Indonesian Stock Exchange collapsed into the floor below closed circuit video recorded the moment when the mezzanine walkway gave way under the weight of several dozen students visiting the building a Police Confirm there were no fatalities in the incident the building is part of a two tower complex that also includes offices of the world bank it was the target of a terrorist bombing in the year two thousand but police have ruled out a bomb in mondays incident. Youre watching d. W. News still to come donald trump denies hes a racist but does the rest of the world believe him we look at the fallout from this allegedly remarks that insulting african country and one is like a soccer darkman were looking to fill the gap with here Emerick Obama young dropped again did they get the better of all spurred. By first christophe is here with some a big bankruptcy news thats right assuming its true troubled u. K. Construction company karelian has collapsed after talks with the government failed over the weekend karelian employs forty three thousand people around the world and as an walton hundreds of government projects in the United Kingdom like building and maintaining hospitals prisons or reliance following a rocky twenty seventeen banks refused to throw the company it desperately needed last. In july two thousand and seventeen it was valued at more than one billion dollars as one of britains Largest Construction Companies it was known for prestigious projects such as the tate modern in london manchesters be some tower and Heathrow Airports terminal five but things took a bad turn when the Company Issued a profit warning last july its share price tumbled and by august it was demoted from the forty one hundred index for the u. K. s one hundred largest companies. More than one billion dollars to several lenders who now face the prospect of losing their money. Shareholders creditors the banks are going to have to say we cannot have a situation where privatized. Private profits when they project so successful that the government nationalizing the losses when they fail a lot would not be acceptable outcome karelians demise will leave more than forty thousand people uncertain about their jobs and small subcontractors fear that they are invoices may go unpaid it is now worth a meager eighteen Million Dollars thats less than a tenth of what it was worth a few months ago its financial problems are blamed on unprofitable contracts and delayed payments from projects in the middle east. For some more insight lets bring in our london correspondent. Tell us more about the problems that have put into this position. Well basically a lot of criticism about its Management Practices and the fact that they were bidding also for some deals where the Profit Margins were simply not high enough so basically unsustainable and a lot of criticism for the British Government because weve had profit warnings already last july and yet the government kept investing and it was said by several figures mainly labor figures the a positioning party that the government was simply too blind with directed that they were too busy with directed in order to to really see what was happening with this company so many people impacted by the situation now the British Government is stepping in paying wages for korolyov workers for example is there any idea what happens next. A lot of discussion about the general business practice off of government outsourcing Vital Services where the the profits of being raked in by private Companies Like karelian whos also being accused of having too high wages for the top management but then when it comes to problems that its the government that needs to basically step in and the British Government is not going to go for a whole bailout of the company but they need to make sure that the services that can really and has provided so far are going to be continued so they were workers to come to work today and that they would look after its work and that they also would look after its pensions because thats of course is a big worry for those with because employed whats going to happen with their pension liabilities and the federation of Small Business has warned that many subcontractors and many other companies Us Associated with caribbean are also very very nervous because korean is often waited as long as four months to pay their bills and that they dont know at the moment whether this is going to be continued and generally yes arguing that this dyspraxia is needs to stop where government is outsourcing these Vital Services burgomaster london thank you.

And spec to sunni and continuing controversy over the u. S. President s remarks well now a south africa has a summit a top u. S. Embassy official for a meeting over Donald Trumps alleged insults of african countries trump faced accusations of racism following the comments during bipartisan talks on an immigration deal lets listen now to trumps response to the controversy while he was in florida at this we cant. Believe. We have our women call here from the j. F. K. Institute here in berlin with us here in studio to talk more about the story higher win so theres been three days of International Condemnation about these comments and the president felt he had to say in public hes not a racist how extraordinary how unique is this well it does bring back memories of Richard Nixon declaring to the world that i am not a crook right that these are the kinds of words that can haunt you down the road but this is not a surprise donald trump has a long track record of being on the racist end of a spectrum he likes to think in terms of zero one by near youre a racist youre not a racist and he happens to have a very high threshold which probably means Something Like the ethnic cleansing sort of rhesus that weve seen in history hes not like that but he belongs to a type of racist known in the United States certainly fifty years ago the belief in. Ability a right to discriminate based on race whatever the rest of the Republican Party some of the senators at that meeting are now backing him again are they going to change their stance. They were distancing themselves and they were taking thats not what i heard or i cant recall hearing that and some minor semantics about the second syllable whether they were talking about a hole or a house but this is just minor things that the republicans do not want to generally. Go directly against the president something that he would regard as not being able but i am personally disappointed that we dont see more people trying to just get ahead of this and say this was a gaffe it was an awful gaffe but people who deserve donald trump know the man does not do gaffes this anything that goes through his mind comes out his mouth and there have been several controversies over trumps comments in the past do you think this will actually affect his agenda domestically and internationally. Were seeing the International Repercussions perhaps in the oval office when his advisors tell him he has to be a bit more careful about talking to his base because the rest of the world is listening to i think thats probably something that his advisors will try to remind him that cleaning up on the International Scale is not something that sounds easy to do but for domestic consumption shes not going to change her rate or one caller from the j. F. K. Institute here in berlin thanks very much. To football now in germany is funded like a return to action from its winter break over the weekend and it featured a big result for a struggling cologne up against local rivals much and god. The rock bottom team pulled off an unlikely last gasp. Colognes play is still believe in a miracle escape that much was clear before the right job but the game initially looked like it would run to form the black box christophe karma going close after a quarter of an hour. Below grew into the match though and frederic sorry incident had fans jumping for joy with the open after thirty four minutes well known for the hosts in their biggest game of the season. The second half so glad that threaten again but at first they could not take advantage of poor cologne defending. The level that was coming however and the rafael finally managed it that the second this and. Even the stuff he goes matter in a prestige darby. But there was to be a twist in the tale and want to twist deep into stuff his time simone so rather got the win afic alone in his first game since rejoining the club the win is just a lone second of the bundesliga season but hope springs eternal for the basement side the gap to safety is now eight points and they have the local bragging rights. Of sundays late game pitted dortmund against false ferg the hosts were without star striker Pierre Emerick obama young who was dropped for a third time due to disciplinary we sense dortmund were looking to move second with a win but it was far from straightforward. You know by millions absence seventeen year old Jayden Sanchez was given his first good start and he played a role right from the beginning the youngster was a whisker away from giving his side the lead after twenty minutes. Two minutes later the son chad was involved again but ill drag ill be like oh fluff hes finished lets involves both of the who wants more. The wolves they got their first real chance with manny played in daniel did davi but the twenty seven year old couldnt be the keeper. Remained dominant throughout the first half but an exam that was foiled by the post and the schools remains level at the break. The Second Health brought more of the same with go it would create some chances but failing to convert the malenko just couldnt find the target that it was some chose turn to mississippi teed up by Shinji Kagawa the englishman hit the post with four minutes to go post book keeper cullen castillos went on a wild adventure up the pitch but when the ball eventually landed at near a shot in st he was unable to take advantage of the empty net no win for sanchez on his debut in the starting eleven but a jewel means that peter is still unbeaten in the league as dortmund coach.
