alleged source behind the largest leak in the history of sports goes public for the first time. discusses his role and his uncertain future following his recent arrest and build up bench. i don't welcome. thank you for joining us. police in paris have the rest of the room in connection with the fire in which at least ten people have been killed it took place at a residential building in the sixteen out on these evil a wealthy area in the southwestern part of the city seventy five also injured in the blaze and this curious a still searching the building police suspect the five may have been lit deliberately. paris is wealthy sixty district early to die residents say they heard a woman scream sin there off the flames began shooting out of the top of a night story apartment building the five and through the night first responders described what happened here as a scene of incredible violence many survivors were torn from their sleep and fled the flames any way they could. you know i live on the eighth floor so i tried to climb from balcony to balcony to get away. eventually we had to huddle in a corner other people clint up to where i was to escape the fire. hundreds of firefighters were called in they took hours to bring the blaze under control and several of them are among the dozens injured in the fire. i want to pay tribute to the huge response by paris's firefighters floor by floor they climbed eight flights of stairs and saved as many lives as they could fifty people with saved that way you know this is. the search vance's has now begun authorities have detained a forty year old resident of the building over the incident she said have a history of psychiatric problems and the search for victims is being as far from his reach the top floors. with the death toll likely to rise the sense of shock and grief in paris will only increase. in france and off the major unions that has called a general strike to protest against the policies of president in money and mccraw demonstrations are set to take place across the country like you have in the north of france some representatives of the vest a protest movement also expected to join the rallies. joining me now is our correspondent max whole fun he is in the french capital paris and welcome back so what is the situation there like right now and what can we expect for the rest of the day. or the demonstrators are gearing up to start their march today starting here at the hotel the visit which is in the center of paris they're going to walk this way to the world famous plus the local called and maybe behind me you can see a mix of red and yellow and the yellow vests of course are world famous as well now those are the ones that have been protesting for months but the red you see behind me that's the c.c.t. one of the biggest unions in france that actually initiated this demonstration here today some of them up to mystically are expecting up to two hundred thousand people all across france for now we're not there yet but they say they're notoriously late so we'll have to see it's good weather so that's usually a good represent to have a lot of people i didn't mention the yellow vests max how important is this day for them today. it's the first time that we have them trying to associate themselves with the unions maybe to get a little more power because they are at a crucial point a lot of people crowds out think that the yellow vests as we know of the movement has run its course many people here in the capital are fed up with the saturday demonstrations saying. it's getting the customers away it's disrupting their daily lives and that's why we have a situation that many locusts are looking for a new outlet they're looking to get more power by association that sells but some of them also want to go into the political debate something that has been excluded by many of them call for help with your appeal elections. we had catherine morton's our european european correspondent look into the phenomenon. kenya no longer takes out her yellow vests to protest she was one of the founders of the yellow vests movement but now she's moving on at age fifty one she's founding a political party liz imaginal all the emerging ones the goal is to fight for greater social justice and equality. this week i'll continue to do my part we have to develop a network across the region. it will be a lot of work i'm looking. for now the party headquarters are in her kitchen don't could not muster is over to so that there's no time for lunch and the afternoon coordinating with supporters and dealing with legal questions she's a composer but her face is known across france as one of the leaders of the yellow vests me kiss but what's the money for. how you tube video against president emanuel i'm a cornfield tax hikes went viral and stirred up the yellow vests protests but now she says it's time to move on. real need all of the movement has reached rock bottom it's becoming nonsense. they've radicalized tonight these people think they own the whole yellow vests movement. to no one can own me or hold me hostage. mugu isn't alone in denouncing the yellow vests but the more than ten thousand people took to the streets of paris that message to the yellow vests that's enough they feel increasingly alienated from the movement it's the first rally in months that's for the government. twenty one million people voted for the president. to find a good time defending freedom and democracy and. to structure and trade also hurt people as it looks more cycle between. back in move towards religion brittany many people support her rejection of violence and also back a party that's critical of the government. push to this next year i think it's a moderate and constructive way to propose ideas. but they don't want to get rid of the president sundays in the fall we believe it's better to deal with the current government and try to improve things rather than to kick them i write brutal could review they. move all against to stand in upcoming local elections she wants to play a different political than my clone. so that's as we saw an attempt being made to form a new political party at the same time unmonitored mccall is trying to connect with people through his town hall meetings how is the french president doing. he also seems to be at the crossroads right now the government is sensing that the yellow this movement is looking for a new direction that the support in france isn't as strong as it used to be so they're trying to give everybody an impression that they are listening to people try to counter their criticism of the past that all sort of has a top down approach that is actually trying to consider what the. what was what their. success was at the center. of the violent protests that we saw up close especially. in fact all of that explodes in person all that's going to help. all violent protests or prohibit them altogether but like assert it's hard to see the future but for the first time. really months it seems like the government might have to chose to take the initiative again right mike so far on the streets of paris in the midst of a noisy protests thank you very much. let me now bring you up to defeat some of the stories making news around the budget british prime minister to resign mabel visit northern ireland today in an attempt to reassure people over the irish border issue to reason they want to renegotiate a break to deal with the e.u. and look for alternatives to the backstop proposal

in northern afghanistan has killed at least twenty six members of the country's security for. says the attack took place in kunduz province just before dawn twenty three soldiers and three police officers were kids during the a sort which lasted for more than two oz the taliban militants were eventually repelled when reinforcements arrived at the base for the very latest i'm joined now from kabul by correspondent ali left the field and the taliban has claimed responsibility for this attack what more can you tell us about it sure so basically it took place just before dawn on the outskirts of the provincial cap are. only. and what it shows it's a few things one is that you know as you said earlier in the report reinforcements had to come in and this is a major issue for the security forces really feel underprepared and as if they have to wait for support as of the support isn't there when they come under a charge especially in of problems that can does which has fallen to the. twice in the last five years and she does that fifteen and two thousand and sixteen. including the eventual capital so you know did this is a very important issue for the security forces and again brings up the issue of what kind of support are they getting as they continue to fight the taliban and other armed groups and what about the timing of this attack it comes as senior of gone politicians including the former president hamid karzai and taliban representatives are meeting in moscow for so-called peace talks is there a connection. well i mean the taliban have always maintained that when they are engaging in peace talks they will. try. to be fair you know the afghan government does the same thing so it's a two sided conflict and both sides are keeping the other that our government is not present in these muscular talks you know the both sides of the conflict have kept it going and it also raises the question of how much control these representatives in moscow and also indulge have over the ground forces and this is a major issue because people are wondering you know just representatives that are going to moscow that are based and that are meeting with the iranians that are meeting with the united states. how much control do they have over the actual war can they actually if they decide to negotiate a peace tell their foot soldiers to put an end to the fighting. in kabul thank you very much for that update. and i do apologize for the slight glitch we had in the line to kabul the pope francis has ended a three day trip to the united arab emirates by leading a mass attended by more than one hundred eighty thousand people the event filled stadium in the capital abu dhabi during the sermon the pontifex knowledge the plight of migrant

dominant position in digital technology and germany's economy minister peter has just given an address outlining the country's industry strategy here's some of what he said. we are achieving a turnaround namely that germany moves from being a passive observer of developments which are in full swing in the us japan and china to an actor that must be. we must approach it in an impartial and confident way with a determination to succeed that most. of all ok joining me now is my colleague monica jones from businesses welcome monika before we talk about the strategy first tell me i mean chile is the largest economy in europe why does it need an industry strategy what if you've mentioned some of the things in your introduction already i mean for one there is this huge competition obviously and china's big appetite for german technology and the competition when it comes to the new technology especially if the digitalisation in the united states and their germany is lagging behind dreadfully i remember and you will remember that just a couple of months ago we heard and an industry survey which was released by the o.e.c.d. which actually said that germany was. the highest innovation level of all the industrialized countries. but that is misleading because that only refers to research and development to the amount of peyton's that we put forward which is all brilliant but when it comes to implementing those innovations real business ideas real products that is what germany is like and behind and just to give you an example of which is it's always the same example it hasn't changed in germany we still have vast areas where fast internet access is not possible and that's a big problem for the companies there they caught on to you know develop official intelligence which is something that the economy minister likes to quote and mention an awful lot or autonomous driving which could be key for the german car industry is impossible in those regions and that needs to be tackled though we heard a bit of what the german economy minister had to say peter briefly some of what do you think is the strategy is going to be well one of course is to develop key technologies in germany and that brings us back to the digital infrastructure right now the germany has a competition for companies to bring in their bits for the roll out of the very fast five g. internet by the way chinese away the very controversial company is also allowed to to submit its bid and this is exactly the problem already here way already holds some sixty percent of technical infrastructure which is currently needed for our mobile phones here in germany if we said all right we want to have our own national champions which is what the strategy is all about what that means you would have to separate your way and that means that would throw us back something like two years which we would need more in order to get five g. so. that national strategy still has to prove that it's actually working monica just thank you very much and i'm sure you have more on that story in business news later. the german budget cat is getting money or has grounded on its flights after filing for bankruptcy the airline struggles became clear when it was unable to base workers last month. good money is just the latest carrier to declare bankruptcy in germany after. a year and a half ago especially low cost operators are facing many headwinds europe's biggest bunch of airline grind air recently announced plans to slash spending and the two thousand and nineteen outlook isn't rosy either rising fuel expenses unfolding ticket prices could hurt airlines. now to a new development in the so-called football leagues the whistle blowing platform that has revealed some of the murky aspects of the global football business group into a major source for the stunning revelations has now gone public for the first time after his recent arrest speaking to the german broadcaster. a secret location in budapest it's here in this modest apartment building we're told wants to give his side of the story. on january sixteenth last he was arrested in the hungary in capital in response to a portuguese arrest warrant on charges of attempted extortion and cyber crimes. he's under house arrest wearing an ankle monitor while awaiting a decision on whether he is a whistleblower who legally obtained the documents which could exonerate him or whether he is a cyber criminal. which could lead to extradition. i'm a whistleblower what matters for me and for football leaks is the documents are authentic i don't care about the origin i'm a whistleblower so i have i have to expose and to jordan. the real deal and among those documents are details of confidential plans for an elite superleague or kofi for president john yoo frontino helped top european clubs get around the financial fair play rules who had been also admitted to contacting sports investment company under a false name a meeting was organized which led to accusations of attempted extortion. i think i was naive if. i did. i mean something stupid i decided to play with them and basically said that yeah i have some documents. and they wanted i wanted to see their reaction i wanted i wanted to know. how. how valuable were these documents for them i want i wanted to know fault for how far they were ready to go if you really really. know. faces up to ten years in prison in portugal if convicted. and beaten are both. because i'm a target. and i feel that at the moment i will enter portuguese until move you know leave the bun jail. i can end up that. i'm aware of. gary in court times until march nineteenth to decide if it will be extradited to his native portugal. with me now i have chris had intended from thoughts welcome press it is a little bit about the football at least in the background it was sort of revelations have been coming out over the past well first off the history behind it it started as a web site twenty fifteen you know the biggest story the most recent revelation is it has been surrounding krishna rinaldo this alleged rape case that he's dealing with it's ongoing in the united states specifically las vegas nevada so that's the biggest that's continues to make headlines you know but as we heard of the report you know the alleging that gianni if it's you know if he was president was involved in helping clubs evade the financial fair play rules you know these things obviously caused a lot of outcry of justice you know in the public but it really changed when i spoke to cases such as desk beagle and just a network of investigative journalist started reporting on these issues and that's why it's come to light and what is going to be no a budget. situation and the allegations that he's facing well the allegations are quite serious you know. he's dealing with the portuguese government you know are trying to charge him with extortion violation of secrecy and also accessing information illegally you know and i think that's the biggest issue that he'll have to deal with but he did give this dish beagle an investigative journalists seventy million documents of the information so we haven't had enough time to go through all of these different types of things that might come to light you know soon enough but there's a lot of information to filter through and as of right now it is just a very interesting and peculiar case and i really i feel fearful for what could happen subpoenaed so absolutely and so is he we heard in our report that he says he is a target how serious is the situation for him well for him in portugal specifically one thing that he's accused of doing is excessive information that suggests been fico portugal's most successful club was dealing had some misconduct and they ultimately were charged with corruption and portugal you know being a hotbed of football fans if he is extradited that's what he's waiting for to for it to be decided if he is extradited he's received death threats via facebook authorities have told him take those quite serious he basically describes the situation in portugal is being the mafia is everywhere those are his own words so i think you have to take very seriously what we heard last from him in the report that his life could be on the line and i do hope you know for the best in this particular outcome and if you did you see this going given the number of documents how much is it going to time is what we all call the beautiful game and i think the gilded age is over the the idea of having heroes and putting them up on a pedestal is over because once we find out this trim an aging information about someone obviously we're going to look at them in a different light so i think reputations are at stake and in terms of what he will be classified will also warn future people you know whether or not they should fall . in his footsteps so i think that's in march that should happen so we have to wait and see what the courts in hungary decide right chris hansen from us for says thank you very much. you're watching the devon is still to come on did good news. a clinic in
