New challenges for nato me get more from london. And the death of a good pop star in 3 months spots an intense debates among the pressures young celebrities face in south korea. I dont welcome. Thanks for your company we begin with some breaking news at this hour germany has expelled 2 Russian Diplomats working at the Russian Embassy in berlin and this follows a decision by federal prosecutors to take over the case for georgian citizen killed in berlin in what this suspect russian or chechen involvement was that of the victim a national was shot dead in the park in central but in last august german prosecutors believe russian intelligence agencies. To the killing a russian citizen it was addressed to the scene of the shooting russia denies any involvement. So long to story lets go straight to our Political Correspondent kate brady who is at our studios in central but its welcome good 1st tell us about the expulsion of those 2 Russian Diplomats and why they were asked to leave. Well weve just heard within the last hour or so from the Foreign Ministry that 2 employees at the Russian Embassy here in berlin have been expelled are now from germany where its not exactly clear yet exactly what positions they held but they were Russian Diplomats working here in the german capital and now we have already had a statement from the german Foreign Ministry as well explaining that according to the Ministry Germany had reached out to to russia on several occasions to russian or thors hes asking them for an explanation and information to help them in this investigation into this murder which happened here in berlin august earlier this year but the Foreign Ministry says that after not receiving any help from moscow they decided to then take the decision given the decision also to of the prosecution here and their findings so far they decided to expel these 2 Russian Diplomats of course this is all linked as well to that decision which you mentioned just now to pass this case on to German Federal prosecution and good what do we know about the man who was killed hes going to. Release what what would have made him a target of such an assassination. Well he actually fought so again he was a Chechen Rebel in the early 2004 on the sides of the Muslim Chechens against russia so there is certainly that element there apart from that we dont know much more about his background what we do know about the suspected perpetrator there is that he was a Russian National a 49 year old Russian National and according to persecution here in germany as well he was actually already wanted from in russia and that has been a huge factor in their inquiry safe. And has there been any reaction from russia to the expulsion of these diplomats as yet. There has been a rather prompt reaction the spokesperson for the for the kremlin again today denied any involvement of russian intelligence in this murder in august early this year and since there is a 2 Russian Diplomats have been x. Fellows earlier today russia responded saying that the explosions were unfriendly and unfounded and that russia would be reacting with matching measures so we could expect to see some similar measures being taken later today and even possibly german diplomats being expelled the sanctions being imposed on germany in response to those 2 Russian Diplomats being expelled from here in berlin and kids what happens next now be had this one man in custody that you mention. A lot of the legal procedures not to follow. Well the case is currently in the hands of the federal prosecution and usually they take over cases which is seen as a crime against the state so the. Investigation that will continue and and from now on the suspected perpetrator will remain in custody so now well just have to wait some more information as we get it my slightly from the german prosecution that the federal prosecutions ari and also most likely from the German Foreign office good for you thank you very much for your initial reactions and information on that case and of course well get back to you as soon as more details become available and that was do the obvious Political Correspondent kate brady a nato leaders have started talks on the 2nd day of a meeting to mark the 70th anniversary of the military alliance only a divisions within the organization were exposed over a number of fishes the meeting is taking place just outside the british capital london and is expected to result in a joint statement by all 29 members chinas growing economic and military strength and is really as a potential adversity of the alliance is expected to be discussed develop a gathering so friction as sharp differences emerge in public between the u. S. And france over natives to teach it goes along come you. Didnt become despondent and need to exploit story shows is in london and joins me now from there gerri after a day with so much acrimony now the leaders of nato are closeted in a meeting which is expected to last some 3 hours do we know whats on the agenda. Yes im reading we do because the statement that is going to be approved by all 29 leaders has been worked on for weeks now so that basically all theyre going to do is in dorset they will talk about china it will talk about hybrid threats it will talk about the importance of unity in these seeing these challenges coming from the outside but as you mentioned most of the threats to nato at the moment have been coming from disunity inside the differences of opinion between the u. S. And china the role reversal of president s trumping necron in critiquing nato and of course youve got the other allies who are not paying very very 2 percent of g. D. P. Whom President Trump is focused on attacking so theres plenty of problems inside the alliance at the moment that almost is is distracting them from the external threats to traditional external threats like russia and the Islamic State that youve mentioned china that this one area which the need to leaders seem to agree is china emerging as a new potential threat for the military alliance. Nato definitely does not want to classify china as a threat it says that china is an emerging power and it has not ever taken stock of its relationship with china its been slow to do that and this meeting is in fact the 1st time that they will have brought together research from all over the inside the Nato Alliance to talk about both what theyre calling the opportunities and the challenges of the relationship with china while way in 5 g. Technology is one of the big ones on the agenda weve seen disputes over that between the United States and its european allies and each country is going to have to decide for itself whether it thinks the risks of using Chinese Technology are worth it and so those are some of the issues that are being discussed but at the moment nato says it just wants to take stock of these definitely not classify china as a threat and despite all this intelligence divisions that you mentioned terry the nato secretary general against ultimate is really upbeat about the alliance saying its active and is adapting to new challenges its agile how important is it for these 29. 00 leaders to come out of that meeting and put on a convincing short unity. Well lets be honest ari thats his job he has to be upbeat about the alliance hes the one that has to bring all these 29. 00 leaders together and show that the alliance is Better Together than divided and thats going to be the message that he wants to come out of this meeting at thats what british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson as the host said going into this meeting that everyone agrees that they are better off inside nato than outside nato and that theyre going to very much push that message even as everyone is very worried about the wild card president from he used Photo Opportunities yesterday to hold Unilateral Press conferences and hes got 3 more bilateral meetings scheduled today and nobody knows what hes going to do everyones just hoping that by having a short meeting of just 3 hours they can minimize the opportunity for it to be hijacked for anything else they would like very much to come out and endorse this statement all 29 leaders and say were going to address the challenges of the future together with teri schultz in dungeon thank you very much for that assessment of the nato leaders gathering that thank you.

Genderless franks may joins me now from Seoul South Korea fan whats been the reaction there to another tragic death in the countrys Entertainment Industry well certainly it is quite startling news to come out today of another actor its unclear whether his death was suicide at this time and there have been reports that he was not necessarily the subject of of Cyber Bullying as was the case with gu and solely that change in ri and one of the things that came out of soleus suicide that was in october that was 42. 00 days prior to taking of of her own life one of the things that came out of that was a poll of South Koreans not just regarding taking down those comments off of off of the internet off of these comment sites but also requiring those that post comments to use their real names this is something that weve seen in other subjects on the internet including those posting comments that would incite people to do violence racist comments and sexist comments being posted with the argument that those comments need to have people use their real names to prevent this type of slander and and hateful behavior from going online and having you know quite disastrous consequences absolutely have these debts lost to start a debate about just how difficult it can be for these keep up stocks going to extend a little bit more about the kind of pressure these stocks face.

Lost favor in the public become less popular and then they embark on a solo career and they they dont necessarily have that that group around them he also pointed out at a very young age in terms of their entertainment in terms of their talent their pursuing 2 things fame and money at the expense of perhaps why they got into performing in the 1st place which is enjoyment so is there any discussion then what should be done to protect and support these stars to prevent another tragedy from taking this if you can fact. Thats a thats a thats a very good point they also make this issue that this crosses into Cyber Bullying in terms of whats going on in schools and again as i mentioned before this crosses over subject matter about how we deal with this on the internet after all were only 15 years or so into the internet and we have yet to catch up legislatively but certainly those around people need to become more involved only 5 percent of Cyber Bullying in in south korea is even reported to uter parents teachers or the authorities there needs to also be an address addressing of of the stigma of people coming forward and saying that they are the victims of of these types of crimes frank smith and so south korea thank you very much for that you wish you did have the news coming up ahead the traffic jam thats delighting lovers on miami beach you get a preview of the odds of violence in one of the ones leading showcases for contemporary yacht.
