In the bundesliga a blizzard of goals and blizzard conditions in cologne but the teams former coach was feeling the warmth at percy dortmund after getting a surprise call. Im serious oh my god i thank you for joining us we start with fresh fallout from u. S. President Donald Trumps decision to recognize arisa long as israels capital israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu who welcomed trumps decision is visiting brussels he is expected to come under pressure from the European Union to revive the middle east Peace Process on sunday he met frances president in my one home and it was clear the two leaders did not see eye to eye. A shake of hands and an embrace french president Emmanuel Mccaw greets israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu in paris just spots for warm welcome and smile was for the cameras they are two leaders at all sharply divided over the u. S. Decision to recognize teresa long as israels capital. When they appeared before the press various differences became plain my call called president trumps move a dangerous threat to peace and urged netanyahu to negotiates with the palestinians he should. I would tell him give a chance to peace and make a gesture towards the palestinians peace doesnt depend on the United States on one side and friends on its own it depends on the ability of the two leaders on israeli and palestinian to make it happen. And if given a chance. Netanyahu dug in against the criticism. Its always been our capital jerusalem has never been the couple of any other people so i think the sooner the problem students come to grips with this reality the sooner we will move towards peace and this is why i think president trumps announcement was so good storch and so important for peace. But that peace is unlikely in the current atmosphere. The u. S. Embassy in beirut a sign of a rage against u. S. President donald trump seems like they suggest it wont be easy to defuse for now global outrage netanyahu says next stop is brussels well hell meet with Foreign Ministers from the European Union. More on this story now with our correspondents on the ground meyer schwager is in jerusalem. Is in brussels good morning to both of you max lets start with you in brussels many leaders there are opposed to trumps move recognizing jerusalem as israels capital so what do Foreign Ministers want to get from Benjamin Netanyahu. I think the Foreign Ministers dont expect to get much of netanyahu at all because that hes known to them we know his stance on the European Union hes criticized the e. U. Repeatedly over the last years as being too palestinian friendly just when he left for this trip he did it again accusing the e. U. Of hypocrisy saying that they have a double standard condemning the recognition of jerusalem as a capital by the u. S. But not condemning rocket fire by the palestinians so theyre probably happy if theres no diplomatic incident here now if the relationship were different if it were reasonable expectations would be to restart the middle east Peace Process for example to announce Something Like the freezing of the. Israeli settlement building that something by the way that in minute with my call the french president asked for on sunday but the way things are theyre probably happy if theres no diplomatic incident well we saw in our report that netanyahu was meeting with the french president was pretty tense coming to you know what is netanyahu looking to gain in brussels. Well as max said hes not walking into the friendliest room and thats you know its also known as a very compromising figure on the International Stage so likely what hes going to do is simply walk in there as he said with his head held high and hes looking really just look strong in front of all of these e. U. Ministers who he does not regard as diplomatic friends and hes looking to say hey look ive won this victory the us has handed this to us and now this is the new reality and everyone has to accept this the e. U. Is definitely not an easy room for him but its also going to raise the question of who can start a Peace Process again if not the u. S. This is sort of the little key question of an underlying that in this entire series of events for the past few days on the ground in israel was if the u. S. Is not considered an impartial broker any more could the e. U. Maybe be even if they are considered pro palestinian mechs ups put that question then to you now is that you even prepared to step in as a mediator. The European Union took itself out of the game some years back when obama was president in the United States let the Obama Administration take over so for them its hard to step back in now especially because theyre not all on board all the Different Countries from the European Union let me give you an example the chief diplomat of the European Union wanted to condemn the recognition of jerusalem as the capital by the u. S. That would be federica more greeny in the name of the European Union but hungry said no we dont want to do this so she had to condemn it in her name now the Czech Republic apparently was ready to follow the u. S. In the recognition of jerusalem that was prevented by the other Member States but it shows you that theyre really not all on board for the same thing and on top of that you have the rise of antisemitism in many countries in the European Union something we should not forget for example in germany but especially in france that probably is not building any trust with israel so if they really wanted to get back into the game it would require a lot of work a lot of unity also on the side of the European Union and meanwhile maya palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas has reportedly refused to meet the u. S. Vice president mike pence during his middle east trip later this month is that part of a larger palestinian strategy. Well insofar as there is a palestinian strategy perhaps but we have to remember that there is no Peace Process that we know of thats on the table right now there are no ongoing negotiations other rumors of some nasa and new u. S. Plan that may be put forward in the coming weeks or months with the u. S. Coronating with saudi arabia but right now this move by the u. S. Has really thrown all the usual players back on their heels and this move by abbas to not meet to meet not meet Vice President heads really just seems like a defiant gesture of we reject the u. S. As any sort of mediator in this region as any sort of partner to anyone in this region we also have to remember abbas is old and he is not very popular among young palestinians so any move that he makes is going to be very closely scrutinized not only by the israelis but by his own people dia views my ash waiter in jerusalem and max hoffman in brussels thank you both now to some other stories making news around the world venezuelas president Nicolas Maduro has banned key opposition parties from next years president ial election he claimed the move was based on the partys decision to boycott mayoral elections in on sunday the opposition was protesting at what it claims is a rigged electoral system. A major flare up in Southern California as largest wildfire has triggered new evacuations the blaze has been moving closer to the city of Santa Barbara fires in the area have forced two hundred thousand people to flee their homes and destroyed hundreds of houses. The winners of this years Nobel Peace Prize have received their award at a ceremony in australia the International Campaign to abolish Nuclear Weapons has spent more than a decade working towards a treaty to achieve their objectives but the group warned of the danger still facing the world today they say just a moment of panic or carelessness could be enough to start a nuclear war. Activists gather in australia to celebrate the witness of this years nobel prize the International Campaign to a bullish Nuclear Weapons i can they see this award as vital and timely. The campaign as have received a nobel prize at a moment when much of the world once more as worried about the changes of nuclear war. As the norwegian royal family looked on the chairwoman of the Nobel Committee and at them their price. It was an emotional moment for the activists the Nobel Committee has recognized the decade Long Campaign to secure a ban on Nuclear Weapons over one hundred countries have signed a treaty to that effect but the worlds Nuclear Powers including the United States havent yet and neither has north korea a moment of panic or carelessness a misconstrued comment or a bruised ego could easily lead us to the destruction of entire cities the story of Nuclear Weapons will have an ending and it is up to us to decide what that enemy will be. Will it be the end of Nuclear Weapons. Or will it be the end of us. The ceremony was attended by survivors of the hiroshima bombing said school thurlow was a teenager then she lost friends and family on august the sixth one nine hundred forty five. Today she dedicated the nobel prize to them and to hundreds of thousands of others who died that day. Each person had been mainly. Each person words loved by someone. Let us ensure. That there this will not be moving. And on the other side of the world people in hiroshima gather to think i can feel its. Damn sh if people i can skim pain then perhaps one day the two no longer have to fear the bomb. While the winners of this years Nobel Peace Prize want a world with fewer weapons and global arms sales are on the rise for the first time in years the stockholm based International PeaceResearch Institute sipri is just published its annual report it says world wide arms sales total more than three hundred seventy four billion dollars in two thousand and sixteen now according to the data the United States is by far the biggest weapons manufacturer with u. S. Based Companies Accounting for more than half of all arms sales now the United Kingdom and russia follow the u. S. In weapon sales but their numbers are significantly lower lets speak to our floor and she is the director of the arms and military Expenditure Program at sipri she joins us from stockholm good morning ah thank you for joining us why are we seeing this rise in global arms sales now is it related to armed conflict. To a large extent arms procurement and arms demand kens to be related to increasing tension conflicts and upper military operations so yes indeed for some of the countries for which weve seen increased in arms tilts in a companies when their companies it can definitely be attributed to. Geopolitical situation geopolitical situation in the world however is some of these are also linked to our model Musicians Program some of these countries have old fleets that we wish to renew so part of it is also due to we need to change old equipment for a new warrant quitman so ghostly drivers can actually explain the rise in ourselves disappear what about the fact that the u. S. For example has been putting pressure on nato member countries to increase their Defense Budgets is that also a contributing factor. Not necessarily at this point it would be too early the commitment to increase to two percent of g. D. P. Has been made very short a short time ago therefore it will take time if it happens itll take time before you can actually translate into actual spending and end of share of that to the person thats going to be dedicated to the german acquisition of weapons remains a little bit we dont know actually how much of it will pay for actual weapons for these countries so at this stage there is pressure to increase a lot of the European Countries have mentioned that we would increase their military spending part of it is also to support our chairman programs but its still in the announcement so if i could say one of those European Countries is germany where we are and they are actually among the leading arms export are sore they sell into n y. Well most of the Arms Companies actually their Main Customer is the National Ministry of defense and thats the primary customer thats the one that supports their two eighty and otherwise there are exports that are being made we have not updated our arms transfers data yet that germany has exploited. In countries in europe. In denmark in the chain think and also in countries in north africa in the middle east algeria where was a customer of some of their ships but. Manufacturing pay decent qatar instance now how transparent is the global arms industry is your apparent the report is youre insecure be able to track a legal arms trade. Not exactly we dont actually. Institutes track illicit arms straight especially when it relates to small arms and Light Weapons we dont we couldnt we focus on trade that is only just cement and that has been announced so most of the time for which would have information when we catch. Transactions on deliveries of systems and you know what im straight for you do make a note of it and we mention it but its not the focus of our warchest at this date all right ive flown around with a cypriot in stockholm thank you very much you. Youre watching d. W. New still to come on the program winter arrives in europe bringing travel chaos to the roads railways and airports but not everyones cursing the heavy snow fall. And in the bundesliga a blizzard of goals and blizzard conditions in cologne will bring you all the action from sundays frosty game. But first to helena has business and helen a bit calm is entering a new era is certainly is with the future is now being tradeable i have to say that the Circuit Breaker already had to be hit twice yesterday is all now tradeable they were on the Chicago Board Options Exchange less than twelve hours ago trade is a placing their bets as to where they think the Virtual Currency will be come january with one of those futures contracts surging to more than eighteen thousand dollars some expect the derivatives to stabilize the price others say the bubble is still set to bust. Its a move some say could propel bitcoin from the fringes to the forefront of finance. The futures markets allies traders to speculate on the cryptic currencies priced at a later date something which could increased ability but also push the price down from the dizzying heights of where its been i think argue a correction and i suspect the correction will happen when the futures markets come online and so my suggestion is to kind of wait and see what happens i think that if youre investing though for the next two years or three years then the difference between the price now and the price in a weeks time may be irrelevant some say that bitcoin might not even be around to the next two to three years though its notoriously volatile with warnings that it may selfdestruct and its not backed but some believe the impact of block change technology will be lasting whatever you might think about group occurrences the reality is that the Technology Behind it which is the blog is here to stay if i can make a kind of a comparison is more like the dot com bubble that we had early two thousand. While everybody was getting
