Beijings new security laws for any time it appears in the industry. And food for the souls of underprivileged kids in the form of dance we need a ballet teacher in nigeria who offers lessons for free and some of the students who say dancing has changed a lot. To answer. Im sumi so its going to its great to have you with us we start with some breaking news german prosecutors say they have arrested the former chief executive and 2 Board Members of the payments processor wire card as part of fraud investigations marcus brown and the Board Members were detained in munich investigators say the 3 are suspected of faking income to inflate the companys Balance Sheet wire card went bankrupt after were dealing a nearly 2000000000 euro hole in its accounts last month the scandal has triggered criticism of germanys financial oversight and let the calls for the government to explain how much it knew about wire cards dubious accounting practices. Lets bring indeed up use financial correspondent shall see delaney shes following the story for us i shall see prosecutors here alleging that wire cards sake to its profits since to 2015 how could that have happened. So on the surface the wire card was a payment processor so they would process payments for businesses they have these licenses but master card with fees that are processed payments but what it lacked looks like they were getting most of their money from was. Sort of networks of Sham Companies overseas so and in overseas areas a lot of times they couldnt get licenses to process payments so they would set up these agreements with 3rd Party Companies and thats where they ended up over the past 5 years thats where they were saying the majority of their money was coming from now what prosecutors are saying is that it looks like that money was and it didnt really exist those partnerships that were counting for almost all of their revenue were actually fake so this is really. Sort of at the heart of these allegations and what these documents appear to be showing is a Widespread Network of fraudulent transactions that they used to make it look like they were actually making money from these partnerships and they werent and prosecutors have no rest of the former chief executive to Board Members could more arrests although. Its definitely a possibility theyve also got in custody the head of one of these subsidiaries overseas from their middle east subsidiary of that appears to be where theyre getting this information from the middle east subsidiary had turned himself in and has been cooperated with prosecutors but one of the biggest mysteries remaining is where is the chief operating officer marsala he was really seen as the mastermind behind setting up these overseas partnerships hes been missing since the last month since these allegations came out he he fled the country he was supposed to be in the philippines that looked like it was fake documents the latest reports are that he was located in russia but he is clearly crucial to understanding the scale and the details of this fraud but the its quite a big question where he actually is right now and if german prosecutors were able to get him back our financial correspondent Chelsea Dillon you following the very latest for us thank you so much. Now to another escalation between the worlds 2 biggest economies the United States has ordered china to close its consulate in Houston Texas the u. S. State Department Said it was a necessary measures to protect American Intellectual property beijing has called the move a political provocation and a violation of International Norms just hours after the order was issued firefighters were called to the consulates bins on fire inside the courtyard of the chinese consulate in houston witnesses said they could smell paper being burned the 1st wafer of a bigger story because this firefighters arrived Chinese State media started reporting the u. S. Had ordered the consulate to be closed. Its a political provocation you know that free launched by the u. S. Side which seriously violates International Law basic norms governing International Relations and the bilateral consular agreements between china and the u. S. China strongly condemn such an outrageous move. Beat you to it or you what would you be speaking in denmark the u. S. Secretary of state said china had stolen intellectual property. Were setting a clear expertise as for how the Chinese Communist party is going to behave and when they dont who are going to take actions that protect the American People protect our security our National Security and also protect our economy and jobs thats the actions that youre seeing taken by present trump will continue to engage in those the u. S. Directive comes a day off to 2 chinese nationals were charged with hacking said to be working as spies theyre accused among other things of trying to steal Coronavirus Vaccine research. Campaign targeted intellectual property and confidential Business Information held by the private sector including covert 19 related treatment testing and back scenes. Back in houston this was his closest firefighters could get to the consulate they werent allowed in chinese officials have 72 hours to get out with china threatening to close u. S. Consulates in response. To fine have been pushed out of the u. S. China relationship is smoldering as much as ever. And weve got our correspondents on the story for us much Less Printing on standby in beijing and the month is in washington good to see you both lets start with you can you tell us more about the u. S. Explanation for why this move was necessary in houston and why now. Or you summed it up pretty well in the piece we just saw these folks person or a state Department Spokesperson morgan said exactly as we quoted already in the piece that in order to protect American Intellectual property and the privacy of americans and the information that was necessary and taken by the trumpet ministration as you know mike pompei also in the piece traveling at the moment in europe for that very reason to actually drum up support for a harder line of the United States against china against beijing in copenhagen right now hes meeting there with chinese dissidents of course in london and other places in europe too but that is one purpose and top pipe on the agenda of mr pompei of secretary of state pump able to drum up this support this more combative their stance against china against beijing from washington and from donald trump well lets get the perspective from beijing now mathias chinas already condemned this move saying its outrageous and it is a big escalation so what are we going to see from beijing in response. Beijing has cited would retaliate that its clear they have to do this for several reasons diplomatic reasons but also for the nationalistic audience in china it is not clear how they would retaliate the u. S. Has 5 consulates in the chinese mainland and one in hong kong and of course one of them is going to be closed there are several options the mildest response would be to close the consulate in one hand the u. S. Has shut it down when the pen demick started in general and it has not yet reopened the Nuclear Option would probably to shut down at the consulate in hong kong that would leave tens of thousands of american citizens who live in the city without conscious support because they could not travel to another consulate in the mainland that would be off course the worst Case Scenario its not very likely that this is going to be the option for now china and is in its retaliatory measures to any escalation has always did try to do something that would not break the last bridge that china is somehow trying to not to go directly on donald trump they have for example been insulting pompei o a very in in state media various times but never trump directly so we will see now china has a very nationalist government china has a very nationalist audience they are under pressure to respond and the guess is as good as the other right now well the stakes are pretty high right now stefan what reactions have you seen to this in the u. S. And how much support does the Trump Administration have for this hour ratcheting up of tensions with china again. Well i think he has a large amount the administration has a large amount of support least in the g. O. P. That means in the Republican Party because theres a lot of senators and representatives file and rank and file in the Republican Party who are actually pressuring or have pressured the president and the trump are going straight in the last few weeks to actually take a harder stance against china specifically in context of coronavirus the coronavirus pandemic here and alleged spying and stealing off trade secrets or Research Secrets when it comes to therapy or vaccines against the covert 19 virus however the president has a little bit of an image problem they are has head image problem because he was fairly seen as fairly soft. Again in dealing with china and now all of this has changed and of course there is a political background for this and an agenda. Behind all of this targeted towards of course the november president ial elections youre right of course we have to keep that in mind mathias said just coming back to you quickly the relationship between these 2 countries as you were he said its extremely strained where do you think this leaves diplomatic ties if you had asked me 2 days ago i would have told you that the diplomatic relations between the u. S. And china other would that are they are at historically low the worst since the 2 countries have diplomatic ties. For 2 years now im looking forward to say well stand worst its pretty bad and its probably not going to change until the u. S. Elections we will see what happens then our correspondents mightiest building out there in beijing its definitely months in washington thank you both so much for sharing your insights with us. Now to some other stories making headlines around the world greek firefighters are battling to control a large forest fire near a Seaside Village in the eastern peloponnese Authorities Say they had to evacuate a residential settlement and catch trees because the blaze was moving towards a military camp where explosives were stored. South african antiapartheid campaigner andrew gagne has died at the age of 95 mangini stood trial with Nelson Mandela and was imprisoned in the tourist Robben Island prison for more than a quarter of a century. And hungarys largest independent news site index h u has fired its editor in chief the sacking of has increased concerns about the curbing of media freedoms just a month ago doulas who warned that the portals independence was at risk after a progovernment businessman gained significant control over its funding. And the trumpet ministration is under growing pressure to backtrack on plans to withdraw thousands of u. S. Troops from europe the u. S. House of representatives has passed the defense bill that attempts to halt the pullout the senate is debating its own version of the bill today which will eventually go to the president for approval and berlin is also signaling its opposition to the trumpet ministrations plan in an interview chief Political Editor michelle asked German Defense minister ana could come cullen bauer if the plan has damaged relations with washington. So far there has been no damage to nato but you are right as if the issue of a troop withdrawal from germany is 1st and foremost a question for the alliance and one key factor if the u. S. Congress agrees to the troop withdrawal is where they will go thats still completely unclear this is if they stay in europe then this remains a commitment towards nato says but if they were to be restated to the Indo Pacific Region that would indicate a change of u. S. Strategy which then would spark a debate within. Nato and the definition stockmen will this be the only used under the discussion and then. You also said that it was dangerous if european states had a very different outlook on the process what exactly does that mean. In the e. U. Weve said that we need a strategic compass here the 1st step is a joint in the alice is a threat and it is important that these analyses include all perspectives we must take into account that the Northern European states the baltics but also central and Eastern Europe have different perceptions of russia which must be taken into account. But in the end we must find a common base that leads us to develop a joint ability to act that would be the big task of a common strategic compass which our east states must help push forward over the next 2 years and lets come to an issue that you say you didnt pick yourself which is right wing extremism particularly in the special forces of the born despair that. Tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition were missing how concerned are you that those extremists will also eventually not. Taking any indication this could happen very seriously as we saw with the murder of the politician voter luka and the attack on a synagogue in holland that there was a common chain of Events People believe things and some made those beliefs public they were also people who moved from word to deed we must prevent that at all cost that is a special task especially in the military where we conduct military training where we have weapons and ammunition thats why we are mystique illicitly investigating the disappearance of ammunition we must consider all of the possibilities and we are currently investigating all of these options thoroughly and with diligence minister thank you very much for the interview with your welcome. Now books have not been a safe trade in hong kong for several years now some booksellers mysteriously disappeared 5 years ago and turned up a few months later saying that theyve been held in Mainland China now with the tough new security law imposed by beijing last month a growing number of hong kong authors publishers and bookstores are moving their businesses abroad or censoring their products publishing books in home call hasnt been easy for a while especially when the bubble last years protests for publisher raimundo the new Chinese Security law has changed everything about his current project a collection of articles written by thousands of people who took part in the demonstrations rain man and his team have been taking a worse and pictures that could.
