A towering figure in the auto industry. P. F. The former head of v. W. Has died at 82. Im brian thomas thanks so much for joining us today u. S. President dollar trump says he might be willing to meet with a rainy and president Hassan Rouhani within weeks that is if the conditions that he has laid out are met he made the remarks at the end of the g. 7 summit in france with host president im underwhelmed now the leaders discussed a host of topics including tensions over global trade. Thank you. After 3 days of talks the leaders of france and the United States emerged to speak to the press and attention quickly turned to business and the trade war between the u. S. And china u. S. President donald trump played down Global Concerns saying he was certain his chinese counterpart was now sincere about negotiating and he cant lose 3000000. 00 jobs in a very short period of time and thats going to be magnified many times over and its going to break down the chinese system of trade and he cant do that so when you say do you think they want to maybe they want to and maybe they dont but i think they want to make a deal im not sure they have a choice and i dont see that as a threat no on the topic of iran french president emmanuel mccaughan said the 2 leaders had 2 things in common. Before not there are 2 very clear things which are important to us that way ron must never have a Nuclear Weapon and this situation should not upset the stability of the region mccaughan denied reports that he had not informed the u. S. President before inviting irans foreign minister to the summit in an effort to save the 2015 year killer deal i decided to invite as friends. Minister zarif so i informed before making it i informed President Trump that it was my idea not to involve the United States not to see this is on behalf of you of everybody but to see him as friends i think it would be a good idea to ask him to go back and try to negotiate something separately before making when pressed on whether he would be prepared to meet irans president or honey trump indicated he would but only when the time was right if the circumstances were correct toward the right i would certainly agree to that but in the meantime. They have to be good players you understand what that means and they cant do what they were saying theyre going to do because if they do that theyre going to be met with really very violent force we have no choice yes yes so despite the hugs and handshakes its unclear whether g 7 host book on succeeded in calming tensions between iran and the u. S. Or whether the summit will ease any war was on the worlds financial markets. Well the g 7 leaders in france agreed on a 20000000 dollar fund to help tackle the blazes in the amazon but brazilian president higher balsa naro has rejected that aid saying the g 7 fun treats his country like a colony some 80000. 00 forest fires have broken out in brazil since the beginning of this year. The air is thick with smoke and its hard to bring them in a tree and now on the ground in the states are brown tonia which has been hardest hit by the blazes as soon as one fires under control the next one breaks out huge areas now resemble under another landscape. Will fall if there are as one or 2 big fires we could deal with them better than all the small ones. Money shot was a cool since there have been widespread protests since the fire thought it on friday under International Pressure brazils president both narrowed deployed soldiers to the region to fight the places brazil has said it will accept aid from israel and argentina but also now responded shoppy to a pledge of 20000000. 00 from t 7 leaders on twitter he accuses french president among the moment of having a colonialist attitude towards brazil. Oh you know. Someone gives money without wanting something in return saying why do they have their eye on the amazon what if they want to get as good a laugh since entering office both narrow has slashed Environmental Protection in the amazon and if they do open up the area to industry and spur Economic Growth through massive spokes of the environmentalist tug picard about the fires during the summit in france he asked about that plan fun for tackling the places. Back home because you just listen to the press conference of the american the french president the french president announced a huge age package for the amazon rain forest in order to save the forests there what do you make of it. I think whats president mccall said is very good on political level know what needs to be done on the basic level for the public is to step up to consume any product that comes from deforested areas or indonesia or whatever we need to stop to consume beef that has grown with hormones and antibiotics we need to come back to a much more reasonable way to live in to consume and if we do it out the governments would be obliged to follow to adapt to the consumer as president might call a prior to this g 7 meeting invited a number of n. G. O. S to the n. S. A. Palace you were amongst them where your concerns youve raced back then her. I was invited to represent the Civil Society because im not coming from a Political Party and its very interesting in that sense to show all the links between Climate Change pollution inequalities and all the disorders we have in this world today and we have to come back to something that is much more look even ecological but much more logical you know normally capitalism is here to grew all the capital and today it is destroying the capital it is destroying the Human Capital by squeezing people with the lowest possible salary destroying the environment destroying the Natural Resources putting poisonous chemicals in the food all of these is illegal its allowed it and this is precisely what is not normal and i think president very very cleverly said that now all these inequalities have to be addressed at the high level so you have some go. Brae sions who do very well with t. V. The other is not obliged to do well old so he makes distortion of complete t. V. Which is very bad for the general economy so the initiative oppose it president michael here in g 7 was really i think very very interesting youve said before that for mark calls a project to work he needs more help do you think he will get that help for an Initiative Like that is the g 7 enough. The g 7 the is not enough and he wants busy key to change the Economic System in the world its very ambitious and im happy that somebody is courageous enough to say it to address the topic but he said i can to do it alone i need the Civil Society i need big corporations i did n. G. O. S and they did other governments so i think this presidency of the g. 7 was like a stalled and i hope you will bring that old soul to the u. N. In order to have a wider support at home because thank you very much indeed. A spree if you down some of the other stories making news this hour u. S.

Are turning to Northern Nigeria now where the boko haram insurgency and attacks by Armed Bandits are causing hundreds of thousands of people to flee their homes and borno state many are seeking refuge at a military base outside the town of mangano but agencies say the situation at the base is becoming difficult dubey was able to access a good no by helicopter to get a glimpse of life in the middle of boko haram territory. Mangano one of the few towns in the vicinity of lake chad that promises a shelter from boko her arms Violent Attacks but the camps here are overcrowded and overstretched things have reached a critical level theres not enough food not enough shelter more than 600 people share a single torn it notice the town of a Real Security even though the regions main military base has been built next to mangano attacks still regularly occur. Just a few days before we arrived members of the socalled Islamic State of west africa stormed into the town leaving 5 civilians dead and several others injured. 2 minus and her family were at the market when the attack happened there was no way to escape she explains as mongolia has only one entry and exit point. They were praying that the attackers would leave soon such incidents leave them feeling vulnerable but the mother of sevens biggest worry is not having enough food for her children often all she has is maize pirates to offer them. No good cloths not enough food and no real shelter how should anyone find peace of mind here. Even our rooms sleep when it rained on us. She came to mongolia to escape hunger and violence but life here is anything but relaxed and safe. And for many children too the future looks bleak most of them dont receive any education when basic essential slack food are in short supply schooling is low on the priority list. For us how are mohammed puts it when youre hungry you cant know. Shes 70 years old arrived in mongolia just a couple of months ago she was shocked about the situation in the village. Like im worried that if the children dont go to school that instead join armed groups and grow up stealing. How i used to live as official woman in the far northeast and town of baka. Massacres by poker and Food Shortages made her flee as. The man used to return around one at night from the lake and wait prepared to fish for them in the morning. But now there are no more fish. She fled to mongo only to discover that things here much better. People depend on dozens of n. G. O. S to feed them. And because thats not enough they look for other solutions some go into the bush to fell trees and risk falling into the hands of boko haram. If theres no food to eat and no water to drink people go into the bush and collect firewood they want to sell you know thats why firewood is becoming scarce the hot weather be deviled us. Cutting down trees is also accelerating the process of turning the region into arid wasteland thats a challenge n. G. O. S tied up in Emergency Response and shortage of Food Supplies cant even begin to focus on. Currently theres no room for long term strategies there thats exactly whats needed in the green room without urgent change the conflict is likely to simply ask im a father. This is deja vu news live from berlin still to come on the show the automotive world and its farewell to cards i think of. The man who turned around the w. s fortunes and made it one of the most top car makers will look at his likeness. But 1st key Regional Elections are taking place this weekend here in germany in the Eastern States of brandenburg and saxony theyre being very carefully watched because traditional parties are expected to support in the far right e. F. T. Is forecast to make big gains also for the 1st time the Environmentalist Green Party has seen a surge in its Approval Ratings in the east did obvious michel a cover that up with the coleader of the greens or albert hall back to talk about his partys prospects and the idea that he could succeed all america as chancellor of germany. This man cycling to small town saxony could well be on his way to succeed aguilar machall as germanys next chancellor in recent months about harvick has taken his green party to new heights in the opinion polls theyre expected to double their share of the vote in next sundays Regional Elections in the Eastern States of brandenburg and saxony a development that raises Big Questions about bigger ambitions. For my walking through the countryside here with the future chancellor of germany. Most of all you know walking next to a party leader whos campaigning in saxony and brandenburg together with his colleagues at the beginning of the year everyone said sure you have good opinion polls which you will get are crushed in brandenburg and sectioning and theyre the opposite could happen as germanys big 10 parties lose support the greens have been going mainstream they are the greens the new center of force of jump politics. Your visits nearly certainly hold positions other parties used to hold before that have become part of germanys d. N. A. Like the fact that a social market economy is there to serve the people and that we dont want to die hard capitalism europe has to be the core aim of Germany Foreign policy. The former rebel greens at ease with becoming establishment so again ready for chancellor. Its a fair question as weve been around the 20 percent mark for a while now but its too early for that opposition. In saxony the greens try to prove they are unafraid of the right wing populism that is dividing the country further north theyre aiming even higher. Whereas this side of the road here in saxony the greens are unlikely to significantly change the political game just across the road in the neighboring state of brandenburg the greens are well on the way into Regional Government here they have been able to score with voters in the race to offer alternatives to the far right if tea party the tightly contested race between those pushing for change and those promising the return to good old days sees the green zone as an anonymous a trained doctor up against the if tea parties and the us kind of gets an army veteran. Because we cannot afford to fail on our climate targets time and time again we finally need to get serious about meeting the 1. 5 degree target of the paris accord we only have a couple of years left to do that. A liberal leaning crowd feels the a if he protests too much overt rhetoric on migration. We have to openly address the problems people have and thats what the f. D. A. Is about we dont start fears. The high hopes of the greens prove that the political battle in eastern germany is not simply about the rise of the far right its also about who might replace uncle americal as her political era draws to a close now was one of the most powerful men in the global car industry.

Monica jones joining us now in the studio good morning monica finally. Was it was truly a giant in the world of course what made him such unique cards what i mean he was an extraordinary figure in the Global Automotive world as we saw in this report i mean he was born into an automotive family fighting on porsche and the fed in a porsche being his grandfather and i did a little bit of research as interesting that as a little kid he was actually viewed as being very neat with little sort of promises of making it you know achieving anything in life was only after he was sent into a really strict and hoss. Boarding school in switzerland where he got to that that gripped that characterized him and certainly allowed him all the success later and yes its true i mean he turned into this huge global brand that we know nowadays and he also turned out he from just another brand that existed into this super duper luxury brand highly successful and very popular car and if you consider that fox was similar to ford you know meant to be the peoples car at the very beginning so everybody can afford it you know the peoples confidence it was him who sort of thought yeah thats all very well but we also need lamborghini we need to go we need bentley and for some some reason he managed to make it credible to have these super high end luxury cars on the same roof as the beetle the candidates in all these things that the peoples car so thats a great achievement and i personally think it must have been a very sad day for him in 2015 when that scandal broke the diesel emissions count yes. And he didnt see eye to eye with the. Intercon that all his lifes work sort of seemed to fall apart and he sold almost all of his shares in fault as of that that must have been a very sad moment were just looking at the god either that was the courthouse. Where he drove a beautiful vehicle you know his training as as an engineer was was was a core to how he run v. W. How he performed as as a company i mean he used to technology again similar like his his grandfather i dont know what the person the relationship was but they both were fascinated by technology he certainly was fascinated by it and by new design and he was responsible for an awful lot of new models i tried to do a little bit of research and i found an automotive block called jalap make and they have this to say about ph hes the magic genius behind much of porsche and racing successes as well as all out engineering and to. Luxury pushed from the 2000 and that was gave us cars like the gotti they were on if you ever seen one in real life theyre beautiful there go it was also doing a Little Research and circular get its very interesting is that its amazing yeah we have it i mean her knowledge is i will look at it more closely and i do have a lot of costs people sitting in the newsroom they gave me that information its a 16 cylinder engine producing 1001 force paua thats going to down the road its tested at 400 in 7 kilometers an hour its the worst os the street legal car i dont know way you could use that speed but its certainly interesting the autobahn is street legal yes some some parts of it the cheapest model now thats why its interesting starts at 1700000 euros maybe some people would consider a bargain i dont know and the most important thing is folks about reportedly loses millions with that particular cop but the performance for its image for folks like an image seems to be worth it and i think that explains ph thats exactly that is and i know a beautiful loss leader that.
