this lottery program democrats accuse trump of politicizing the tragedy well thank you everybody it doesn't work with new yorkers it doesn't work with americans and in fact if we really wanted to do something the way we can stop terrorism is anti-terrorism funding to help our new york police department and all of our police departments the new york police and ordinary residents life goes on both are expected to be out in force for the city's famous marathon on sunday. do you have a correspondent cast in phenomenas following that story for us a short while ago he gave us the latest updates from the authorities on the case. well police now say that apparently the suspect had connections to people who were under investigation for suspected terrorism but he himself never really was in conflict with the authorities with the exception of a few fines for traffic violations he worked as a truck driver and later then as an driver but he never really made it in the united states and that apparently caused a lot of anger and made him very angry people who knew him including him mom said that he was increasingly radicalized and we heard that he had ninety videos of this so-called is that mixtape on his mobile and follow instructions from the state for conducting such an attack so there is a clear connection but he still seems to be a lone wolf that's at least what we know even though an man is also being questioned right now but we don't know if he's a witness or another suspect. that was due to correspond past and phone naaman in washington now listen look at some other stories making news around the world police in the u.s. state of colorado have released c.c.t.v. images of the suspect in a deadly shooting at a wal-mart store in the denver area the alleged gunman

thousand and eleven raid in pakistan which culminated in a summer of bin laden's death. aung san suu kyi has made a fyrst visit as million miles leader to the state of the hine where more than half a million rohingya muslims fled violence and persecution by security forces into neighboring bangladesh so she has been under intense international pressure over response to what the un has scored ethnic cleansing spin supreme court has suspended the questioning of six guardian lawmakers until next week there amongst a group of deputies facing investigation because of their push for independence judges are said to decide if this should be jailed pending trial sacked leader paralysed rougemont has ignored the court summons years in belgium and risks arrest and extradition to spain if you feel as to appear. from want a story let me join our correspondence bob in brussels and charlotte in boston and starting with you charlotte how many of the kotla lawmakers actually traveled from barcelona to madrid for the court hearing. we know rita the twenty people in total would you to show up to court today that's it two separate hearings we had one going on in the supreme court and one going on in the high court the court that was meant to answer two now we know a number of lawmakers have showed up to both court hearings one of the first aton up to the high court's permission once dismissed vice president john kerry as he went in and made a huge flurry of press attention he refused to give a statement to the press we know that not only those who are called to also have appeared at the court but also a number of lawmakers who weren't cool to those court hearings travelled down to madrid especially in a show of support a lot of people there outside the court shouting freedom counter to that though as is the case with this with this process they were very large number of people who are against this independence movement who showed up as well they were shouting traitor and that those responsible belong in prison and barbara proved you will is still in brussels where you are wise in refusing to go to madrid. that's anybody's guess however his lawyer just issued a statement and said you was prudent to take a distance from madrid and that also put would be willing to cooperate with the spanish and build from judiciary agencies however all obviously he intends to do that as his lawyer suggested provide your conference that is something that the spanish court however doesn't need to do a nice old graceful fences that he's being accused of and so they can demand that he appears in court so they are playing for time however what's really behind this it seems seen from brussels is that put him on still tries to play his political role he still sort of shows himself as president of catalonia in years a website talking about president in exile and he still tries to sort of garner support from the european union for his cause and charlatan bosler know what's at stake in these hearings the charges of sedition and rebellion ikes trimly serious could the dismissed cantillon leaders end up in jail. these are extremely serious charges emerita rebellion alone which the lawmakers are facing carries up to thirty years in prison so it is indeed extremely possible that we could see these lawmakers jailed now they would argue that they don't think that the rebellion charge is justified it does indeed need to carry that there has to be some evidence of violence involved in order to get that starts top charge it does seem at this point though like the courts are wanting to act fast and prove a point almost because they have cooled these lawmakers to the hearings very quickly so it's indeed very possible and barbara if spain does belgium to extradite brigitte more is it likely that belgium will comply and force him to return. it's a question of the european arrest warrant which has already more or less been announced by a judge in madrid in the meantime and might arrive here any time today tomorrow morning whatever can be very fast and then belgium is more on is bound to sort of act accordingly however this is something that is being played out between the judiciary in spain and the judiciary in belgium so there is no government directly involved it's a matter from melody's a belgian judge will then sort of look at the charges and see whether they are proportionate whether there is grounds for arrest and then he will sort of act and implement the arrest warrant there is of course put some and can appeal he can ask a court to sort of. look at the charges and he can say that maybe his fundamental rights have not been have not been granted things like that are possible it can be drawn out generally belgium has sixty days to comply was the arrest warrant so it is a matter of time but what put in one seems to be doing here is playing for time bobbies in brussels and charlotte just simply in wasilla thank you very much to both of you. turning out to india explosion at a coal fired power plant in the northern indian state of what the tradition has claimed twenty six lives more than hundred people have been injured it's one of the country's wost industrial accidents yes the blast of deposit operate it by a street on power company happened when a pipe exploded and covered workers burning coal ash many victims have been hospitalized with severe buns the deaths to include still dries indian authorities yvonne dorset inquiry into the cause of the accident. from august till you have on the line our correspondent in delhi so need tell us more about the scale of the accident it is not the worst in recent years in the country. that's right on the diet is it is because you are calling it one of the country's worst industrial accidents in years and rescue efforts of two going on at that policy and even states will suffer there because there are fears that some workers quite still be trapped inside the unit so there are fears of the death toll may indeed rise over eight hundred people who worked at this plant many of the injured like you said had suffered burn injuries they've been taken to hospitals in the capital locking out and in the words one of the worst accidents ironically in this case the national curdle power corporation which operated the power plant actually has a good safety record and accidents have been rare and it's possible to own the whole india has a poor record when it comes to industrial accidents why is that. that's why india does have a rather grim history of workplace accidents and industrial disasters and the most infamous one of course being the deadly gas leak at the union carbide chemical factory in bhopal in one thousand eight hundred four that killed thousands of people and many experts here i think blame poor safety standards often negligent by employers a lack of government oversight for these kinds of accidents and really you can see evidence of this by just visiting you know one of the many construction sites in the indian city you'll often find open wires there that pose the risk of electrocution you'll often see workers working without any help standing you know several stories above the ground on bamboo scaffolding without safety net of bail so i think there are there are serious problems you know there are laws in place that govern safety at work sites where employers are you know meant to ensure that workers are supplied with safety equipment and helmets and that kind of thing but in theory i think you know that the in reality things are quite different. now authorities have noticed an investigation into the cause of the blast initial thoughts on what could have happened. when that's going to we still really don't know the exact cause of but there are of course the other suggests that some workers you know since pressure building off in the boiler at the boiler started shaking there was a lot of cloth a senior police official in the beige had said that you know ashes piled up in the colonies beneath the boiler which could have led to the building up of that pressure which resulted in the explosion of the indian authorities have ordered an investigation to determine the cause of the accident but they're also investigating whether there was any negative sense of still remains unclear whether they were the dealy in shutting down the plant off of the initial alarm or evacuating people to fifty so have fallen in delhi thank you very much. the british defense secretary has resigned after allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior some might be found in the seen here on the right said his contact me after all and below the standards expected in the military his departure is the latest twist in a growing scandal of abuse in the u.k.'s current boss of power another government figure is under investigation for a decision follows reports that a journalist threatened to punch him touching my legs fifteen years ago announcing his resignation file and had this to say in recent days are legations have been made about n.p.c. conduct including my own many of these allegations of being false but i realise that in the past i may have fallen below the high standards that we require of the armed forces that i have the honor to represent i have reflected in all my position in government and i'm therefore resigning as defense secretary. you're watching the d.v.d. is coming up ahead it's spotty time in houston after the astros based the only dodgers to win the world series we hear what moved for the fans who waited over fifty years of their fourth top title. the first this is the news guess how joins the financial markets are expecting an important announcement get hot from washington that's right so they're u.s. president donald trump is due to announce his pick for the new leader of the federal reserve now will he be the new man or the helm of the world's most important central bank this is the man if you believe an increasing number of reports he will his name is john powell has been a fed governor since twenty twelfth's centrist on monetary policy and is known as a pragmatic and down to earth official with both private sector and government experience. the head of the u.s. federal reserve is the most powerful central banker in the world some past fed chairman have even attained new cult status like alan greenspan he opened the money floodgates and sent equity markets into a feeding frenzy it led to a time of unprecedented growth fueled by credit. until the bubble burst in two thousand and seven unleashing a global financial crisis greenspan wasn't around anymore it was his successor ben bernanke who had to do the damage control but he kept monetary policy loose the u.s. economy had gotten used to extremely low interest rates a rapid reversal would have cost shocks to the system but it was business as usual under his successor janet yellen at least at first now she's opened the door to gradual rate increases amid stable growth in the us. federal reserve stronger intervention in the economy stands in contrast to the policies of the european central bank which has favored a lighter touch and focuses on inflation the fed reacts to developments in the job market yellen sturm ends in february. jerome powell is the man tipped to replace or the former investment banker is a republican and already part of the fed's governing board markets look ready to welcome such a choice he's nomination would signal continuity theoretically stanford university economist john taylor remains a candidate but his chances are slim analysts caution that he might be quick to tighten policy. janet yellen would normally be expected to serve a second term but because she was appointed by former president barack obama that is out of the question for the current white house by replacing a fed chairman only after one term president donald trump looks set to break another tradition. electrochromic of still having serious production problems and his booking record losses last quarter was a whopping six hundred nineteen million u.s. dollars only older models on the road that's two problems with the mobile story production which is from start of december us plant count start rolla production of the lower priced model is now slated for late in the first quarter of next year then five thousand cars are scheduled to be rolling off a seven lives. with its battery production and best as. prices have sunk almost five percent in response so tesla is having problems getting its cars on the road and is losing money let's cross over to our financial correspondent only boss and find it only should investors be worried. yes i think they have reason to be worried because it's not the first time that tesla fails to meet projections and proclamations about production and the share price is making investors feel that it's dropped about five percent in the recent hours but since its high in the new year it's dropped more considerably than that it's still valued incredibly high the old test is the second most valuable u.s. car maker by stock market value behind general motors general motors made a profit of over nine billion euros and as you mentioned tesla is loss making last making after all these years and with homeopathic doses of car production numbers that it puts into the market but investors are looking at this business model in a different way they're saying look at the technical solutions and tesla finds that the other conventional car makers so far same failed to offer. the i.p.o. is half gotten a lot of interest recently again one must say there was another one today was investors appetite for shares of hello fresh. yet some milk had sellers so the appetite there was great in the build up to the i.p.o. the company took over three hundred million euros as a consequence the appetite was great people gobbling up the shares now at the beginning of trading that appetite waning and. hello fresh another company that's losing money as have been previous i.p.o.'s that came here in the past months not all of them losing money but some also in the food business and some people here see that as a sign that slowly the hype is getting too much in the stock market when investors grab a company's small ones losing money and can't seem to pay enough for the shares. and frank thank you very much. and to prove that not everyone is losing money facebook reported a massive seventy nine percent jump in profit on wednesday as it pushed further into video advertising facebook's total ad revenue alone rose almost fifty percent to just over ten billion u.s. dollars still facebook is in the hot seat right now in the united states for the way it handles political ads allowing the spread of false news stories facebook set the russians bought thousands of us political ads to spread a fake news social networking platform planned pledged to double its cyber security force in the future and that's all from me for a moment now the houston astros a major league baseball's new champions a major exactly here jubilation among fans as you can expect it was a big night in baseball as the astros won the world series for the first time in their history the best of seven contests against the end dodgers and right down to the wire but the astros pulled off a comprehensive victory in the decisive game to the utter delight of their fans. this is the moment fifty five years of hurt finally came to an end if that's true as fans watching on the big screen at houston's home stadium went wild as i saw their team become world series champions in enemy territory it was history in the making and a big moment for the city after a recent events. for her. if it weren't for her. i'm sure for her. houston exploded out of the blocks a game seven hitting five home runs in the first two innings. george springer was the hero as he hit a home run for the fourth consecutive game from their houston held out the dodgers winning the decider five one to seal a memorable first championship. thousands are still displaced following hurricane harvey's devastation this victory was approved for the whole city. there were not but they are so critical so they gave us some hope for your service it's your fourth here now we're here every one of them was. after fifty four years waiting for glory the party in houston will be left out and proud. i am. and for more on the houston astros triumph in the world of fees did obvious fourth reporter yannick fate joins me in the studio welcome yannick now the astros have been around since the nine hundred sixty s. but this is that first win miss also many jubilant and excited fans and get a sense of why this is victory means so much to them i mean first of all this is the world series so it's baseball's biggest show and so i mean it means a lot it's very prestigious it's been around since the early ninety's hundreds on top of that though as you said fifty five years of finally got their first world title but i think most importantly this comes just two months after the devastation of hurricane harvey i mean we all saw the images in the meda but there are still thousands of people living in temporary homes there's still a lot of debris on the straights and it's going to take a long time to recover from that and as we heard in the paste from one of the one of the fans you know it gave people hope to say this team go through to the world series it really shows you how powerful important sport ken bates of people they really the fans rode on this wave of success and for them to finally get some sort of i guess you know some sort of victory in their life is really special looking at this event down to game seven so where does it rate in terms of spectacle on the intertainment. yeah i mean it's always great when it goes to great game seven to the decider it doesn't always happen but i mean this on a historical spectate is obviously very special because the astros won their first title but also the l.a. dodgers twenty nine years without a title so you know it was a special game for them as well from the sporting sporting perspective i mean we saw a record amount of home runs twenty five hit two games were decided by one one run and three games to decide what to say it was very very tight up until the last deciding game and i guess in game five we also saw a thirteen twelve school on which is unheard of in baseball really oh very rare so it was a big spectacle not just for the fans but also the neutrals as well and you think it was a deserved victory for the door dodge's feel that maybe they were cheated out of a way i think the dodgers can feel a little done by because they were the most successful team the regular season and they were the favorites going into the world series but considering everything going around this you can't really take this away from the astros one stage that made you were referring to the astros as the last rose because i was so wonderful i guess in baseball so for them to turn that around get this victory especially for their fans after the devastation in houston is a huge huge amount right yannick space from the japanese forces thank you very much for that expertise.
