The general in charge of the has of the revolutionary guard has declared the protests are now over. And famous film scores. We will take a look at and listen to a movie about movie music that is opening this week. Phil im phil gayle. Welcome to the program. U. S. President donald trump has launched a scathing attack on his former chief strategist steve bannon ahead of the release of a new lessthanflattering book. In a statement, mr. Bannon said that mr. Trump said steve bannon had nothing to do with me or my presidency. When he was fired he not only lost his job, he lost his mind. Mr. Bannon is quoted in a fortrthcoming book as sayingng t donald trump, jr. s 2016 meeting with a group of russians was treasonous. The president s statement blames bannon for helping to write what he calls phony books. Lets get more on this from our washington correspondent carsten von nahmen. Welcome, carsten. Lets start off by looking at what mr. Trump is reacting to. Steve bannon is quoted in his forthcoming book talking about donald trump, jr. s meeting in 2016 with a group of russians. He is quoted as saying, even if you thought that this was not treasonous, or unpatriotic, or bad and i happen to think its all of that you should have called the fbi immediately. Lets start with that meeting. What do we know about it . Carsten well, it was a meeting that was convened by donald trump, jr. , the son of the president , who had been offered compromising material, dirt on hillary clinton, the opponent of donald trump in the president ial election of 2016 which apparently was coming from russia. And donald trump, jr. Then sent a nowinfamous email back to that person that offered that material, saying, i love it, even though that informant basically said this information is coming from the russian government and its campaign to undermine hillary clinton. So this was pretty damaging and damning, and now having steve bannon as quoteded in this book, basically confirming that he also thought this was at least dubious or as he put it, treasonous, that is quite big nenews. Phil so donald trump has responded in an official statement rather than in one of his infamous tweets. Lets take a closer look at what the president has been saying. Steve bannon has nothing to do with me or my presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind. And he went on steve spent his time at the white house leaking false information to the media to make itself seem far more important than he was. Steve was rarely in a one to one meeting with me and only pretends to have influence. Carsten, these two men were believed to be close political allies. Now the president is doing his best to seriously discredit his former chief strategist. So clearly he seems to be worried about the effect this book is going to have. Carsten yeah, and at least the people around him think that this could be big, and that is why they have probably put their Heads Together and crafted this official statement instead o of relying on donald trump shooting from the hip with a tweet. They want to make sure that they get this right. Still, the language is pretty tough against bannon here in the statement, which shows how angry donald trump must be. And it is quite clear because once again, this could be damaging for him. Steve bannon, no matter what trump says now, definitely was an important factor in his election victory. He was the chief strategist in the white house. Of course bannon clashed a lot with other members of the trump team, but still, his voice was heard, at least at the beginning. He then n fell out of favor aftr a a few months because trump apparently did not like the fact that the media were basically painting a picture of bannon as the mastermind behind d everythg in t the white house, so eventually bannon had to leave. But now that bannon, again, in these statemenents as they are quoted in this n new book, turnd against trump, it seems that he has crossed the line. Phil and this book has not been released yet. So i wonder, briefly, if you wouldnt mind, why do we think bannon is now releasing this potentially damaging material to a man that he helped he become president . Carsten well, he hasnt released it. It is basically statements he made in background interviews to the author of this book, fire and fury, michael wolff. But it is being published now this week. And of course now with the russia investigation by special Counsel Robert Mueller also picking up again, this could be damaging to donald trump and his presidency, and also to his whole movement because he has more or less hijacked the Republican Party and of course bannon was a part of that. If these two men fall out, that could be trouble for donald trump in the long run. Phil carsten von nahmen in washington, thank you. Now to some of the other stories making news around the world, the u. S. Senate has sworn in two new democratic senators, reducing the republicans majority to two. Doug jones won a special election, and a senator is replacing al franken who resigned amid allegations of sexual misconduct. A 17yearold palestinian has been killed in clashes with Israeli Soldiers in the west babank. Israel says soldiers opened fire on a protester who appeaeared to carrying a gun and is reviewing the incident. There has been a surge in palestinian protests since the u. S. Recognized jerusalem as israels capital. A suicide bomber killed at least 11 in nigeria. The attack happened in the t ton of gamboru. There has been no claim of responsibility. In iran, after nearly one week of rioting, deaths, and arrests on the street, the general in charge of the countrys revolutionary guard has announced what he is calling the end of sedition. General jafari announced that many arrested have received training from revolutionaries and firm action will be taken against them. The generals remarks came as Iranian State media showed footage of progovernment rallies. Reporter now irans leadership has alalso mobilized support. Thousands of demonstrators in southwestern iran took to the streets to show their support for the government. Protesters yelled death to the usa and death to israel. State television showed demonstrations like these taking place across the country. Posters of the ayatollah are on display everywhere. On tueuesday, the ununtrys Supreme Leader blalamed foreignn powers for the unrest. Now his supporters are claiming they are ready to gigive their lives for him. Some are calling for those who demonstrated against the government to be executed. Still, antigovernment protests continue some of them violently. This footage shows a building going up in flames. It allegedly belongs to the paramilitary revolutionary guard. Meanwhile, more than 1000 antigovernment demonstrators have supposedly been jailed. A Government Spokesperson has emphasized the more liberal message of president rouhani, saying legal protests are allowed but those who break the law will be punished. Washingtons u. N. Ambassador has called for Emergency Security council talks. We must not be silent. The people of iran are crying out for freedom. All freedomloving people must stand with their cause. Reporter staterun media in iran has now focused its attention on progovernment rallies in the country rather than on the antigovernment demonstrators. Phil our correspondent Eric Randolph is in irans capital tehran. Welcome to dw. We heard general jafari has announced the sedition has been defeated. What does it look like from where you are . Eric here in tehran it wawas pretty q quiet overnight, ande have seeeen a pretetty heavy poe presence and quitete a few rerevolutionary guards in the streets in the center of the city. But for the most part it looks calm. It does feel like the e wind has come out of ththe sails of the prototest moveme. Today was really abobout the regime seizing back control of the narrative, reassessing its authority, andnd getting thehese things u under control. While we do not t want to rule t the possibility that more protests or unrest might flare up in the nights t to come, but now it does look like authorities have been able to get things under control. Phil what effect have todays progovernment demonstrations had, if any . Eric well, yes, this s was part of the regime showing that if it wants to it can bring a huge number of people out onto the streets. These protests were impressive. Tens of thousands, maybe more marching all over the country in different cities. We have heard its not confirmed yet, but there will be a march tehran tomorrow after friday prayers. Despite what we hear from places Like Washington and so on n that the regimeme is seriously under threatat, the factememains thatt there is a very y large sway in society that is firmly behind the rulers and they can be called upon to show their support with very short notice. Phil and i wonder, are those progovernment protests genuine . Because i have been seeing reports that government employees, for example, have been ordered out onto the streets. Eric sure, we h have seenomome tweetsts going arounund sang lok atat these Text Messages, Text Messages saying that people are being ordered out. Actuallyly if you read w what ty e e sayi in fafarsi, they y tend to be a a quite polite invitatin to come e out. Certainly government workers may feel some pressure to go to some of these marchers. And since e these ha notot been heldld in tehranan, we have notn able to attend them. M. We will get t a better sense of that i if they come toto tehran tomomorrow. But i have been to s some of the marches in thehe past and the ft is there are a lot of people in iran who genuinely do support the regime. It is a m mix and it isis always hard to tellll, what youou dont want to count out the fact that there are a lot of people who do support the regime. Phil if genereral jafari is correct and t that unrest has bn quelleled, what happens now . Do things just g go back to the way ththey were . Eric no, not at allll. I think this will l shake up the political s scene in a nunumberf ways when it w will be hard to e how itit plays out. Presesident rouhani will have to change t tact. Show that hehe has listenened te people about the economimic problemsms the countryry faces. Although the prorotests may be over, the frustration and the angeger that drove t them ininiy is certainly not going away anytime soon. So a dressing addressing those problems is going to be a very big task in the coming weeks. Phil Eric Randolph in tehran, thank you.

One of the more contentious issues in Coalition Talks between germanys hopeful ruling parties is likely to be reuniting refugees with their families. The process is politically charged, complicated, and expensive. And even if German Authorities approve family reunions, other red tape in other countries can prolong the wait. So what does it mean for people caught up in the middle who often see themselves as victims of broken promises . Reporter this man and his younger brother like l living in cologne,heheir new homome, but theyey say they can only be trty content when the rest of their family joins them. The two brothers traveled along the balkan route from syria and arrived in germany two summers ago. They havave been waiting f for r parents to join them legally ever since. People here told us it would only take about a month or two. Reporter but two years have gonene by. In the meantime, he hahas been raising his little brother on his own.

Reporter the rest of the family is stuck in a northern greece cicity. Despite permission from German Authorities, they have not been able to o travel to cologne. Their case seems to be stalled in greek bureaucracy. It is so hard. They are so far away. I wish i could give them a hug. Reporter for the family, going back to syria is unthinkable, even once the war ends. One of her sons was shot dead in alaleppo. He was 22 yearars old. I still dream about h him all the time. In the last one, he laid his head on my lap and i stroked his beard. I told him in the dream that i miss him. Reporter the other children try to keep their parents spirits up.

Along with their parents, some 4500 other refugees are waiting to join their families. We asked the german federall offefense office why some reunification seem to be taking so long. One of the argumentsts was everything needs to be authorized in detail with the greek authority, and that is not always easy. He has this message for his parents until he sees them again. N. I miss you and i i waiting for you. Reporter he adds that he is ready to wait as long as he has to until his whole family can be together in germany. Phil germanys largest lender is in hot water again. Helena humphrey has the business news. Helena im afraid so. Deutsche bank is in trouble with its shareholders as investors as opposed to authorities as it has been in the past. Now, shareholders are suing the bank for 740 million euros. They say the bank underpaid them for shares in a subsidiary. Deutscsche shareholdlders allege lender already controlled the bank two years prior to fully taking over its business. Investors want to be paid the value of the shares where they were at that time. The suit involves over 30 german and international investors. Our financial correspondent annette weisbachch says as the case is still ongoing, it is not clear whether deutsche will have to pay up. Annette at this time it might be different because there was a hearing already at the Regional Court in cologne where this matter will be discussed and also decided. And the leading judge was already pointing towards a more favorable hearing result for the bank at that hearing in early november. So this time Deutsche Bank might actually get away without paying all that money. Helena our financial correspondent annette weisbach, back there.

Reporter the northern french city was once a wealthy text manufacturing center. Now it is one of frances poorest towns. Entire n neighborhoods have been abandonened. So the municipal government came up with an idea sell off derelict houses for only one euro. The idea is to attract people who will invest in the area, care for it, place children in the schools, and bring new life to the neighborhood. Reporter so there are conditions. You have to put about 70,000 euros into renovation and you have to live there with your family for at least six years. The offer is tempting for some. You have to look at the condition of the house. But to become a house owner for one euro is absolutely interesting. Reporter but others are not too impressed. You are not tempted . Not at all. We cannot afford it anyhow. [laughter] reporter other rundown european towns have similar programs. You will end up with a house but it wont be in one of europes beauty spots.
