Including here in germany and a glimmer of hope for a nation on the brink of. Yemens government for peace negotiations scheduled to start tomorrow in sweet. Good to have you with us we begin with a farewell for a former u. S. President a war hero and the man who led the u. S. As the soviet union collapsed and the cold war drew to. The state funeral of george h. W. Bush was a rare day of all living u. S. President s political differences cut deep Family Friends and foreign dignitaries also packed the Washington National cathedral for the service it was a public fair. Well filled with many light hearted and moving tribute bushs eldest son former president george w. Bush was among those who delivered eulogies an honor of americas forty first president. In his inaugural address the forty first president of the United States said this we cannot hope only to leave our children a bigger car a bigger bank account. We must hope to give them a sense of what it means to be a loyal friend a loving parent a citizen who leaves his home his neighborhood and town better than he found it. What we want the men and women who work with us to say when we are no longer there. That we are more driven to succeed than Anyone Around us or that we stop to ask a set child had gotten better and stayed a moment there to trade a word of friendship. One day and were going to remember you for exactly that and much more and were going to miss you your decency sincerity and kind soul will stay with us forever. So through our tears let us know the blessings of knowing and loving you a great and noble man. The bass father of her daughter here today. And in our grief but a smile knowing that day it is hugging robin. And holding moms hand again. The thanks. And emotional. And former president saying goodbye to his father and another former president s lets bring in our my assuaged she is in washington at the National Cathedral cathedral where that Funeral Service took place good evening to you maya talk a little bit about that ceremony what stood out to you today. Well as we mentioned the emotion coming from george w. Bush the son of george h. W. Bush there was white no worthy addressing the congregation really more as a son rather than as a former president lot of very emotional heartfelt funny moments during this Service Today george h. W. Bush was a man who many people on both sides of the aisle and all walks of life really admired someone with whom you could share a laugh share a golf game share a meal someone who a lot of people felt was just deep down a really decent guy who was trying to to do his best for the country and that was what was reflected in the service in we saw all of course you know this image of all living u. S. President s sitting next to each other the patrolmans the obamas the clip the corridors i mean what picture do you think. Was painted. By the body language of the with his arms crossed for most of the. Certainly some awkward moments there it really looks like trump was not fitting in with the rest of the president s club who are known to be very chummy with each other real compatriots for having survived being president of the United States also some funny moments just before the service was beginning we saw george w. Bush slip Michelle Obama the former first lady another piece of candy and an echo of what he did during the Funeral Service of senator john mccain a few months ago some back and forth there but at the end of the day it was striking to see all of them sitting there paying tribute to their predecessor and a bygone era of american politics. Indeed youve been talking to people there in washington who have been near the cathedral how do they see the legacy of george h. W. Bush. A lot of people are remembering him for what we said earlier about just his decency as a person he seemed like a really good family man someone who really cared about the people around him and i think we have some reflections from today very recently of some some more memories of george w. Bush when i think of the george w. Bush presidency i think of bipartisanship and working together with both sides of the aisle as opposed to the Trump Presidency theres a lack of by partisanship and not only working with his own party but working with the other party as well george bush was just president and leader for our country and i think he had great values and you know when you think about divided america you know he really stood to have everyone represent you know one country and it was really special for a great leader i met him briefly in one nine hundred ninety two when he was running for reelection and he lost but our interaction was very brief but he was very gracious and i will always remember that and i just want to show my perspective a. You know has anything changed in the way that people see george h. W. Bush. Oh definitely theres some a softening of his his legacy in the memories there through rose colored hindsight glasses there was he was not a perfect president we should remember his his domestic policies his blind eye towards the aids crisis which happened partially on his watch as well as some international blunders show we say getting involved in the iran iraq war invading panama theres a lot to be said but today people are remembering the man for being a decent representative of what a United America looks like yeah you have the need for decency seems to be stronger than ever. Sweeter on the story for us in washington its like the National Cathedral might think well police have arrested more than eighty people in raids across europe in south america in a correct jail on one of italys main organized Crime Syndicates the police say theyve detained senior boss is on suspicion of cocaine trafficking Money Laundering bribery its a target is the syndicate known as the one which dominates europes Illegal Drugs trade. Its being called a decisive strike against one of the most powerful italian criminal networks in the world a vast investigation starting in two thousand and sixteen culminating on wednesday and italy seen here as well as in germany the netherlands belgium and south america the european Judicial Agency euro just called the operation unprecedented and extraordinary result that we have reached today with the joint judicial action thats been carried out in different Member States in order to fly i. Want to know what the most powerful organizations are going to into war. The drug get it comes from the village and family clones of calabria southern italy its considered at least most powerful Mafia Organization in recent years its managed to the past other mafia families by dominating Drug Trafficking into europe according to prosecutors its the only italian organized Crime Syndicate operating on all continents in germany alone there are thought to be about three hundred known drawing get to members the head of germanys federal police said the arrests should take a considerable toll on their operations. Thanks to the International Cooperation we managed to hit that. Very purposefully and despite the adverse circumstances and conspiratorial forces working against us we have landed them a sensitive blow at least for the time being. According to officials the operations these groups were running are now closed how long they will stay that way however is anyones guess. In the talk about this im joined at the big table now by julian or bad thing who was working with the german Antimafia Movement mafia nine dung mafia no thank you its active in the fight against organized crime right here in germany so its good to have you want to show the German Federal criminal police they say that the raids have dealt the. A considerable blow they wounded the mafia do you agree. I would partially agree i mean these operation was probably the Biggest International operation coordinated against the in europe and both. Suffer sure it was very significant especially on the on the symbolic point of view and also to to lets say give us a sign against these organized crime groups that they cannot continue doing and upset their activity illegal activities in europe but i wouldnt say that if hes going to have we did change the way they are going to do their business is that i mean how powerful or are we talking about the mafia be. Considered to be one of the most powerful mafia in the word and it supposedly together with the mafia cartels from south america the richest in the world and the rage that we saw today by the police would you say that thats the best way to combat the mafia does is surely a very effective way but thats not enough politics to do something and improve their legislation to contrast the mafias in europe and in germany and for example with european. Prosecutor office or improving the confiscation. To use. And does to deceive you Society Might have a higher role in just how do you explain how does the mafia maintain its strings is it because one force mint has become weaker or you know what changes to a well the mafia to be strong. Actually the mafia is very good to adapt to new environments so they are very able to recognize the new Business Opportunities and to move where they might have more space to me and give me an example like in germany where has the mafia moved in for example from italy to germany. Following both of them i can only claim to the usa it was very easy for them to move because you tell others not. And now we can we have seen the Police Operation and using the national oriented and that is of course very had for them because having different jurisdictions that are not always perfectly combined. Helps a lot of them contained in their activities do you do you see the italy having a special responsibility here we were always talking about the mafia coming from italy is that an accurate depiction i wouldnt say so first of all because some of this people actually were already born in germany so we are talking about second or Third Generation germans i would say yes and and also because. Germany has a responsibility in the sense to improve. Contrasts about the mafia and if i wouldnt see that as a national oriented thing its rather opportunity ok julia norbury with the german antimafia group nine dog joy of the present your time and i thank you thanks. Well heres some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world the french government is facing more protests across the country students are due to demonstrate on thursday and Farmers Union who say that they will stage protests next week the government tonight responded to the nationwide unrest by abandoning a fuel tax increase it had previously only suspended the hike for six months. Britains parliament has spent a second day debating Prime Minister to resign hes bright supply and many lawmakers oppose it but European UnionOfficials Say there can be no significant changes to the deal that theyve already approved mays government has finally published a legal reports after being found in contempt of parliament for initially withholding in italy an explosion at a petrol station near rome killed a firefighter and another person ten others were injured the blast occurred while a tanker truck was unloading fuel fire crews were trying to extinguish and initial blaze when a huge explosion because that shook the area. Well could the guns of fall silent at least briefly and you havent that is a possibility raised by talks between a delegation of who the rebels and representatives from yemens government and when they go she asians being brokered by the us are set to start on thursday in sweden they are the first talks aimed at ending the conflict since two thousand and sixteen. Possible sin tickets in hand for johnny many hypo bring pace and tell a case in if hes the rebels waiting to pull that flight to sweden. The u. N. Special envoy Martin Griffiths has been instrumental in setting up the talks with the Yemeni Government such as the distrust between the two sites the rebels wouldnt get on the plane without him. Our basic guarantee is the presence of the u. N. Envoy with us on the same flight this is the only guarantee we have for going there. Have been. The evacuation of fifty wounded whose the fight is from the war zone has also helps build confidence in the talks with the conflict locked in stalemates the huge these backed by iran control the north west of the country including the capital sanaa which they took fifteen the government backed by saudi arabia and the u. A. E. Has set up a base in aden in the south. For years of conflict have left thousands dead and created whats been described as the worst humanitarian crisis in recent history with yemens economy cripples more than fourteen Million People many of them children facing starvation. It is a country at war as ive heard me say that this is a country of the break of catastrophe but this is not a country on the brink of catastrophe this is a country that is in a catastrophe. The catastrophe that sun falls is in full view of the whole world but one many say has been ignored the hope is the talks will result in a truce allowing food and aid to reach those who need it most. Definitely over the protection of women in sports has been a big talking point this week after allegations of sexual abuse and sexism in foot dominates and how we can be overcome. It began with afghan women footballs accusing male officials of sexual abuse something the federation denied. Then the first womens ballon dor winner was asked if she was able to tour but the awards host this week has been a painful reminder of how women are still fighting for equality in sports at the discover Football Conference in berlin female referees and coaches from over twenty five countries have gathered to learn new skills and share stories of discrimination its an everyday thing first of all the spectators who ask or whats a woman doing me especially where you go over there the pretty much the technical meeting they see you are the very undersea what are you doing here women are not supposed to be doing this so sometimes after the introduction if you introduce yourself as an International Referee dennis i mean shes been shes been doing this thing for a while i have nothing to do because the game was on the other side. Photograph he was about eighteen years old sitting inside the court because he wanted to take pictures said to me who are you why are you not in the kitchen. Practical sessions were followed by a Panel Discussion with extra funding in better Education Progress can be made. Its not its not on the blink of an eye its needs time but i think people now are accepting the change and theyre more aware about womens football having. Role models women what models in the future this is going to make sure the focus is becoming clear women want people to talk about female sporting success not just men made controversy. Our thats our cars now in german car makers are having to have all of our talking about this again in trade more helena they are hoping to head off a trade war and you know how theyve done it brant of go out that checkbook softer those talks at the white house fox five and c. E. O. Have it d. Said President Trumpet responded positively to plans from folks fog and dime and b. M. W. To invest billions in the United States and most crucially create jobs now theres also talk of cooperative deals such as one between v. W. And ford well the United States is especially important for german comic has that taken it because eight percent of the seventeen million cars sold there every year all made by german brands only china is more important a much larger market of course twenty four million cars a sold there are nearly in which the german manufacturers hold an enormous twenty two percent share europe actually is only the Third Largest largest market for b. M. W. Don of fox fox and now here they actually hold a fifty percent share but of course youve got to bear in mind that sixteen million cars are sold the oniony say a far lower figure and that is why they cannot afford to ignore an invitation to speak with u. S. Trade officials. And they were summoned and they came three german car industry titans called to the white house to make the case against higher tariffs on european made cars they werent initially expecting to meet the president but in the end he too came heres how dime new c. E. O. Dieter zetsche of described the encounter. The meeting with the president is very interesting and you can. Come in this country and. Of course his objective is to see more jobs there and more activity here which is in accordance with. A sentiment echoed by the other automotive leaders in washington. Is even wayne a plan that would see build cars in fords u. S. Factories and produce electric vehicles in the United States but the specter of trumps promise tariffs is still a cause for concern for germanys association of automotive manufacturers. Additional terrorists would. Bring us additional cost and therefore be a threat on the competitiveness self in the u. S. Market and thats why we say leave the competition open and let the ones who have the best product when within the competition. Whether President Trump will be persuaded to drop the twenty five percent levy hes threatened may depend on the kind of impression the german c. E. O. Has left on him. Germanys are likely to lose more than one hundred thousand jobs as the traditional car industry shifts to electric cars that is the sobering conclusion of a massive study looking at how the adoption of electric cars could affect germanys job market the last positions would likely range from factory jobs to highly paid design and engineering positions but the experts from the institute for Employment Research say that the german car industry could of but we cannot says if it redoubles its efforts to embrace the electric current street. To uganda now where tensions have been growing between small ugandan traders and chinese businesses operating in the country now the growing competition has stoked local resentment including protests and now ugandan soldiers have been deployed as security guards at chinese businesses in the wake of a spate of robberies. Chinese whore to the are you being has lived in uganda for fifteen years.

In uganda when you met the factory and the good of your kind of people i know a lot of your kind of people can look at the job im not disarming your hair people can develop saw in free to dont worry ill buy the factory safety. But not all the chinese nationals in uganda i like being. The police see that cases of fifty at chinese owned businesses of lightning crazed. This has forced ugandas president Yoweri Museveni to order for military intervention there have been some threats by criminals on and on just as this is an acceptable under steps being taken to assure that. Investors their local or international are protected. Our chinese friends have raised the concerns and. Weve responded. With seventy sees the chinese of created many jobs for ugandans and he cannot risk frustrating them. Im going to have to train them. Not to be. Entrepreneurs. To move. For uganda who really wanted to put them. Over fifty thousand chinese live in uganda many are engaged in construction mostly funded by their government others are in trade and manufacturing but have often clashed with low chords especially in running small scale businesses. The military deployment is primarily to crack down on robotics but might as well see if the chinese against locals.
