Historic moment in the dismantling of the iron curtain 30 years ago today the border between hungary and austria was opened to allow the thousands of east germans to head west. Im sumi so misconducts good to have you with us we start with a controversial decision here in germany to take and for children born to former fighters of the socalled Islamic State earlier today kurdish authorities handed the children to a german delegation in syria the children had been living in the whole camp in northeast syria where more than 70000 women and children are being held its the 1st time germany has agreed to accept i. A. S. Children from syria other countries including france and belgium have already done so in july a german court ruled that the country must take in children with german citizenship. Departure for germany for children are traveling to the country of their parents who had once joined the socalled Islamic State and died now for the 1st time and after tough negotiations with the kurdish Led Administration the German Government is repatriating children born to i. A. S. Militants. Smallish its a Welcome Development that for german children who had been in custody in Northern Syria were able to leave the country today. In addition will advocate for the possibility of other children in the same circumstances to leave syria this essentially concerned small children whose Living Conditions are far from. The kurdish camps are squalid in our whole camp alone 75000 people live in close quarters among them a many i. A. s followers hygiene and medical care are minimal and deceives is spread easily german children are among those growing up in these conditions and their mothers want to return home as soon as possible i see me says she arrived in syria in 2014 and lived in iraq and die yes control she has been living in a kurdish camp with her 2 children for 2 years. So its very difficult for the children my son is 4 years old i sent him here to school he has to learn something i want to learn something too its already been 2 years thats time i wont get back i hope well get picked up so that we can get a 2nd chance. One out of many stories us pressure of the German Government grows to bring more of its citizens back from syria. And you Political Correspondent william no one who crossed us with us tell us more about todays decision william why is this decision coming now. Well its coming after a month as we just heard in the report of growing pressure on germany thats really been dragging its feet the governments have been dragging its feet for months now and what to do with german i asked fighters are their families and their kids and their legal rights and coming back to germany now weve been seeing this court ruling that was also mentioned earlier saying that the kids have to come back they do have a legal right to come back to germany these suits were brought in part by family members grandparents of these of these children who want to see their grandchildren or their relatives returned to germany the reports are saying that theyre actually meeting these children now in Northern Iraq where these children have been brought to under german care and after being checked for that their medically able to do it will be brought back to germany repatriated with their extended family members so what does this mean for the other children with german parents who are still in these camps in syria well thats still very unclear as we heard from in the piece as well as from a press conference on the ground there between german and kurdish officials there does seem to be some kind of plan in the works that will include more of these children more than 100. 00 children are estimated to believe to have some kind of right for returning to germany but theres been no confirmed plan yet the German Government still needs to go through the very laborious process of checking who these people actually are confirming their identities which is of course very hard in a conflict zone in a place where people dont really have identity documents and in a place where the German Government itself doesnt have Consular Embassy representation that is the question isnt it you know these countries dont necessarily want these children or their parents for that matter to return home because they fear they might have been radicalized they might commit acts of violence so how dangerous are these former fighters. Well of course we have to distinguish between the children of very Young Children this case theyre all under the age of 101. 00 is as young as 10 months if not younger and of course their mothers their fathers those who might have actually been involved in i s fighting its a bit of a problem either way they could stay in syria in iraq and face the possibility of being radicalized there in the years to come or they could be brought back to germany and the fear is that even if their parents were tried and found to be guilty and spent time in in prison in germany there would be of a chance of radicalization there or their kids could become radicalized or spread radicalization so there is a very delicate balance here between european and International Law human rights law and of course Serious National Security concerns about who these people are confirming their identities and making sure that there are no threat to germany or the Wider European Union is a question a question that a lot of European Countries are struggling with william how important is it that these children are taken to their parents countries of origin well many of these children do have extended family members outside of this their parents living in germany and of course psychologists will tell you that these kids need to have a normal life and a chance at a normal life and of course cant be held responsible as minors as such Young Children for the potential crimes of their parents all right our Political Correspondent william know a good crossed following the story for us thank you very much lets get around now some other stories making news around the world Turkeys Defense Ministry says 3 civilians have been killed and 12 wounded in an attack on a Turkish Military convoy in northwestern syria a Human Rights Group says the Syrian Regime and allied russian warplanes hit rebel held it live province blocking a line of military vehicles to prevent the convoy from advancing. In afghanistan scores have been wounded in a series of bombings in the eastern city of jalalabad the attacks came as the country marked a century of independence from britain and the violence follows a suicide bombing at a wedding in couple on saturday that left 63 people dead the socalled Islamic State has claimed responsibility for that attack. The u. S. Says it has tested a medium range Cruise Missile off the countrys west coast its described as not being a quick with Nuclear Weapons but the test is considered a sign that washington is ramping up its defense it comes just weeks after the u. S. Withdrew from a cold war era pact with russia that banned all land based missiles and in a policy shift under a Prime MinisterBoris Johnson britain says it will end to the freedom of movement for a new nationals in mediately after breakfast johnson has said that the u. K. Will be ready to leave the e. U. Deal or no deal on the current departure date of october 31st for instance the most french president in modern mccall is hosting a rare bilateral visit from russian president Vladimir Putin the meetings taking place at because summer retreat on frances mediterranean coast and it comes just days before michael hosts World Leaders for a g. 7 summit another 2 day visit as part of my calls attempts to improve relations between russia and the west but a number of contentious issues in the u. K. Ukraine is the most pressing one on the agenda for the Ukrainian Government has been battling russian backed separatists in the countrys east for 5 years now president putin has signaled fresh support for the 4 nation talks aimed at bringing peace to the region. The mother says goodbye to her dead son. Hes one of 4 ukrainian soldiers killed in the east of the country in the 1st week of august. It was the single biggest death toll in the ongoing conflict with pro russian separatists in almost a year the response of ukrainian president brought him as alinsky was immediate he called russian president Vladimir Putin and begged him to use his influence to stop more ukrainians from being killed but he went to step further and called for a new round of International Peace talks. I would also like to talk to angloamerican in the nearest future even today if theres time and to agree on an emergency meeting we should stop telling each other that the normandy format meeting should take place at some time this year how many more people will die this year. Of. Ukraines leader supported by emmanuel france is pushing to revive the talks known as the normandy format as a way of ending the simmering conflict. These came about in 2014 when the leaders of france germany ukraine and russia met on the sidelines of the 70th anniversary of the d. Day landings in normandy france the 4 way discussions helped to seal an agreement between the warring parties in 2015 this reduce the fighting but small scale clashes have continued. The result is that since the start of a still ities an estimated 13000. 00 people have died. Hoping to reign in the violence the Normandy Group might a number of times but the process has been stalled since 2016. Now the french president is hoping to oversee efforts to restart the normandy format and to persuade Vladimir Putin to join the process and resume peace talks. Lets get more of the story from our g. W. Correspondent emily sure when shes standing by in moscow hi amalie good to see you how important is this meeting right now as tensions between the west and moscow is still are still pretty high. Well this meeting is certainly very important for the russian side russian observers ahead of this these talks today have been emphasizing the growing importance of him i knew i had my call in as a leader in europe especially ahead of america kind of stepping down soon as she has announced she will do theres kind of a shifting shifting towards france on the russian side of things and we saw that today in fact the growing importance or the growing desire of both leaders to kind of normalize relations it seems to me we saw that in the rhetoric of both leaders but in your putin kind of sanct my call for kind of pushing for russia to regain its Voting Rights in the council of europe which happened in june this year and manual when youre in mccall seemed to be almost welcoming russia back into the european fold at various points as they spoke ahead of their of their talks behind closed doors he talked about the fact that there are existing disagreements with russia including of course over the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula but he also talked about russia as a european country a very important symbol for a hat perhaps i had a g. 7 talks this week ok so some very positive tones coming out of their press conference what about the main topic on the agenda today which was the crisis in the conflict in ukraine was any Real Progress made there. Well well have to wait and see when it comes to Real Progress but what i can tell you after those Opening Statements ahead of talks today was that the tone was very much positive again from both leaders mccaw again pointed out that ukraine has been the main stumbling block when it comes to russian relations and that in fact it could be the key to kind of improving those relations if there is progress on resolving the conflict in ukraine and even bloody near putin seemed almost optimistic today that after you know a deadlock for many years including under ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko putin talked about the fact that he had held had had a telephone call with ukraines new president. And he said that he was cautiously optimistic after those talks and that he had a few things to discuss coming out of that of those telephone calls or that telephone call with and he wanted to discuss that with my call so weve seen some optimistic tones even from the russian side which is certainly a change. Correspondent and we sure win for us in moscow thank you emily now to an historic milestone on the road to german reunification at the end of the cold war in 1990 europe was still divided by the iron curtain between the soviet controlled communist east and the democratic west but 30 years ago today in the one gary and town of shopfront hundreds of east germans fleeing communism were unexpectedly allowed to cross the border into austria followed months later by the fall of the berlin wall well the leaders of germany and hungary commemorated the opening of the border in shop run today but the images of a medical and viktor orban marking the occasion together struck some as awed the 2 leaders have rarely seen eye to eye when it comes to borders and migration. A solemn ceremony to commemorate a moment the changed the course of history german chancellor Angela Merkel and hungary and Prime Minister viktor orban both came to shop around 30 years ago a picnic in this hungary and city at the border with austria led to the tearing down of a cold war barrier in europe. Ill simply make will to dig was the picnic became the scene of the biggest breakout of people from east germany since the construction of the wall in 1961. Dumb the paneuropean picnic it was organized at the austriahungary and border during the gathering at least 600 east germans crossed the border into scape to freedom in the west by november an estimated 70000 had fled via hungary. This event was seen as a key factor in the fall of the berlin wall itself 3 months later. But i would like to thank the people of hungary once again from the bottom of my heart on the eve of hungarys national day for the courage they had at the time germany will not forget this. If i get. As medical and all been celebrated the anniversary of this Pivotal Moment it was clear that the relationship between the 2 leaders has strained in recent years the saga whole local soccer history. The hungary and police and Border Guards are standing guard at the southern border everyone who reads the intelligence reports knows that the migrant flood is not over because our shot of the cause and i may have to get the. Funding we defeated possibly still there for today on the issue of peoples right to stay here once theyve arrived in germany has asylum laws and the Geneva Refugee Convention so these people have a right to stay convince one machall and orban hold very different views on how europes borders should be managed today obama is known as one of the biggest critics of merkels decision to open germanys borders to hundreds of thousands of refugees 4 years ago. Sudans former president Omar Al Bashir is on trial for corruption he toppled the countrys democratically elected government in 1990 and ruled for 30 years before being ousted in april after mass protests russias trial is taking place amid a political crisis triggered by his removal of sudans military and civilian leaders struggle to form a Transitional Council to steer the country towards democratic elections behind metal bars the man who once ruled sudan with an iron fist Omar Al Bashir stands accused of corruption prosecutors say he received over 90000000. 00 from the saudi royal family piles of cash were allegedly found at his home after he was forced from office to form a strong man on trial a scene few in sudan thought theyd ever see. Under the she is 3 decades of authoritarian rule sudan has suffered a devastating famine civil war and seen its territory split into. The countrys fledging democracy was crushed in 989 when bashir ousted a new civilian government in a military backed coup. A crippling drought in the darfur region led to a prolonged famine and fueled a rebellion but she has cracked down was brutal the International Criminal court in the hague issued a warrant for his arrest accusing him of leading a campaign of rape hunger and fear that led to the deaths of 300000 people and left millions displaced in refugee camps. The country was divided in 2011 when south sudan declared its independence from the north despite the she is attempts to stop it the multiple elections that repeatedly return bashir to power were dismissed by observers as illegitimate. But it was the rising price of bread and fuel that pushed sudanese out onto the streets late last year demanding an end to decades of suffering bashir attempted to respond. Well to that going to hold our country is going through difficult economic circumstances its hard to launch portion of our society due to internal and external causes the you are aware of. What that. But it was too little too late for months of deadly antigovernment protests culminated in 6 days of mass demonstrations. That after 30 years in power bashir was forced out through military intervention. Sudan is now celebrating the countrys steps towards democracy under a tentative coalition of military and civilian leaders how they deal with the troubled past may well shaped the countrys future. Now if youve ever been to london chances are you were captured by one of the citys more than 420000 closed circuit t. V. Cameras only the Chinese Capital beijing monitors its residents more but a new type of camera as many worry that a big brother might be doing more than just watching and to use Matthew Morrison looking into this for us hes with us here in our studio matthew so if you look at the numbers the average londoners captured on camera at least 300 times a day so why is there controversy over more cameras well people are not because there are more c. C. T. V. Cameras but because there are more official recognition cameras popping up over the city these are cameras that scan your face they run not stand against a database with millions of other faces in the video and identities they do that in real time and without knowing about it and expect to see the facial structure is unique and it sickened to a d. N. A. Or fingerprint some point to the white spread capture of that data without informed consent is troubling. So in a marriage that the owner of a large posh of London Central london construction see here. Had been plastering fish recognition cameras all over the state of mind bars and bars in cafes restaurants in offices without telling anyone it provoked a furious backlash and campaigners staged infringement on fundamental rights to freedom of press a freedom of expression and we asked one of them what the major problem was with the technology lets take a listen. As they scanned everyones face with a range subjecting them to an intrusive identification check in the same way that fingerprints d. N. A. Swabs what. Additionally life fisher tissue as a camera high these people might. Be aware that. They wouldnt necessarily agree to it. Ok so those are conduct concerns there why exactly have these cameras been installed well thats not really clear and thats part of the problem the company that owns this area is called arjan l. L. P. They say its to ensure Public Security but they havent said we are sure theres a need for it and we did see the system the uses 50000 off to protect the privacy of the general public but that didnt stop our criticism the mayor of london himself to the form of his concerns asking if this was even legal which i guess tells you just how kind of unclear the rules are about fish recognition by recent well in the last few days the information commissioner has said that shes deeply concerned on his open inquiry and for now arjun l. L. P. We contact the company and ask them a list of a series of questions about what to do with the dates whether the store and they basically didnt answer any of our questions but did say they would cooperate with the inquiry what does that mean for a fish use a facial Recognition Technology has a lot of critics but also has people who say who make people safer place organizations in the u. K. Using. People can be used to identify no one wanted criminals it can be used to stop subjects of bonding orders from entering football stadiums on the big scale the metropolitan police for hope it will tackle terrorism with the can for terror attacks by identifying suspects in advance but that critics say its also true of oppression in china we see it used in the persecution and detention of wisdom and we could use the readers. Sort its got mixed kind of mixed reviews and i think as long as. There are questions about whats happening with the data and how secure is and whos using it there will be simmering kind of concerns will only prove to the regulations the very interesting story there reporter Matthew Moore bringing us the story thank you very much. Thats what your sister for its now in football after a slow start to the season byron munich have made what could be a significant assigning barcelonas phillipe on a loan deal now the biggest reigning champ has struggled to sign talk to players in this transfer market and it showed in their 1st match but now the clubs president says their transfer business is done. By and munich season got off to a rocky start off so they drew their opening game against has a berlin and off the pitch the top brass have started in the transfer market falling short of expectations after losing key attacking players by and bulked up their defense spending big on Lucas Hernandez and benjamin pava but missing out on key targets further up the pitch instead signing 2 stopgap solutions on one year loan deals 1st 30 year old into milan winger even parazit and now barcelonas felipe continue by and will pay the spanish club an 8500000. 00 loan fee and have the option to make the deal permanent for the staggering sum of 120000000 euros and the brazilian certainly knows he is under pressure which will subsidize uganda you see its a big responsibility wearing the byron shirt is a club with a great tradition and he especially the number 10 shirt which was previously worn by aryan robin who was a fantastic player here. So that i know theres a lot of pressure on me to deliver. But i think ill fit in very well here and play good football to meet the expectations of the club and the fans but the me. Alone signing is a rare occurrence before this summer by and it only brought in 9 players that way in their entire club history a short term fix which leaves the squad little time to gel on the pitch. I thought was one game on sunday to tell you about a frankfurt open their bundestag a season at home against hoffenheim both sides will push for a top to finish the season and a chance to play in the big european tournaments but so far frankfurt has the edge. Oftentimes new coach outfit should have being warmly welcomed by his frankfurt counterpart. But thats where the hospitality ended. Keeper all of obama was still sorting out his defense when the ball was in the net off the only 36 seconds fan favorite mocking him so i guess in frankfurt season off to a picture perfect start. To smooth move with the corner and hoffenheim a quote completely off guard. By after that the visitors have more possession but they couldnt do much with it except for 2 offside goals i frankfurts unhappy about a successful start to the campaign while hoffenheim they clearly have some work to do. Before we go we want to leave you with images from the crowded skies over North Macedonia as the world paragliding championships were serious about crowded skies here as you can tell you can see the hundreds of men and women from some 50 countries competing over and around the city as critical and events fresh over a week and a half with the final day covering almost 100 kilometers enjoy the right. The number of hopes for a couple or a cancer is building stadiums to host of these soccer events of 2022 and the appear to be big changes afoot in the state itself is how much progress is really being made behind the scenes im extremely surprised to hear that is anything remotely resembling a democracy lifting the veil in qatar.
