still going to welcome to the program they turkish journalist the turkish german journalist as usual as been freed after a year and it is prison but on the same day six to use journalists have been jailed for their alleged involvement in the failed coup of two thousand and sixteen germany's foreign minister gabriele help because she ate and as usual release now despite being released from jail he has not been charged with spreading terrorist propaganda prosecutors are seeking a jail term of up to eighteen years for the time being however his supporters in germany and his family a son of raising. this photograph of danny see chelsea released from jail was posted by his lawyer friday afternoon you jel in the arms of his wife after a year behind bars german chancellor angela merkel welcome to the decision to release the german turkish journalist for me feel a feel as many other people i'm very glad that he was able to leave prison today i am of course happy for him and his wife and his family who had to endure a very difficult year of separation. also. one year ago dennis you tell was detained in istanbul turkish authorities accuse the correspondent for the german daily developed of terrorist propaganda among other things but until today he had not been charged with any crime. the turkish court has now made the decision that as of now dennis you joe will be set free with no restrictions i assume he will leave the country we are very pleased with the decision of the court. and try to get. the german government has campaigned vigorously for the release of you tell as well as other journalists imprisoned in turkey many civilian organizations also demonstrated for his release it is very likely that turkish president are the one is behind the decision you tell may have been released from jail but in their indictment turkish prosecutors have demanded up to eighteen years imprisonment get reaction to this news and from frank who is a member of germany's parliament he also serves on the parliamentary committee for human rights and humanitarian aid or welcome to be very pleased i do expect denise usual back in germany so that's what i heard off yes and as he's allowed to come i think he will use that opportunity how has his release come about. you never know exactly what worked out in the end but i think the last days and as we had the annual day of his incarceration. as well as our foreign minister mrs merkel talked to i think the right persons about the situation and it was a day after that he got information to be released we know that the ultimate right person in turkey is president he's not a man who's shown himself amenable to just because. the foreign minister the chancellor talk and we get this release there must be a suspicion that a deal has been done what might germany have given to facilitate this i i don't i don't know i think that the last days and the last months that we have this quarrel i would call it that way between our countries has put very many contacts i know that many people from mike parliamentarian committee of human rights have taken responsibility to exchange letters even with everyone i myself wrote on over parliamentarian you know not not party ish but with every party representatives letter to him when the first went into prison two years ago even before the the collapse was and i don't know what made the difference now but it comes to a good good timing and we're having many problems ahead you know the the the situation in the in the northern part of turkey we have the situation with the refugees from syria we have discussions about not nato and we don't know where to rely on so i think it's just a good timing. that the german government of course has been lobbying hard for you jules release. has it as the german government been lobbying for the release of any other prisoners apparently justly detained or was then as usual a special case now he was a special case in that one part that he had a german passport so we are you know people we do maybe a bit more but as human rights people i have in this parliamentarian. program that we have many people from our committees and parliament have partners like godfather ring politicians and so one of my colleagues had him as as his secure partner sort of i have somebody in cuba i have somebody in colombia and one politician in turkey as well who is under threat so there are many contacts and it's not the only one but it was an out it wasn't highlighted one oh yes i know that of course it's great news it is great news for there is the usual to be released but as we said of the at the top of the program as he is released six other journalists. are in prison and we cannot you know we take it very grateful we are very happy that the signal is sent but it cannot be just showing off that it's going better as you said six are others are now in prison and hundred fifty others are still in prison and we have other areas of human rights violations happening against politicians in specially. and we cannot step back from that the big issue that as far as i understand it the germany had with them as your jewels confinement was that he had not been charged. and he had not been tried so a year after him being taken into custody he has been released but charged so there will come a day when he will be required to stand in front of a court is he likely to attend i'm not and his head you know as he has both passports as he is is a german. but i think if he's fine with the just just system and the human rights he might want to prove that he isn't drunk. i don't know if he will attend himself but he will go through that trial because i think as journalists we accept the juristic old system and they want not just human rights but the. a craft values taken and mrs merkel said today we have to process it well and the outcome was that he was released because usually it's just a few weeks that they are allowed to after the human rights committee from europe after the turkish one. thank you so much for joining me to thank you very much for. joining the hard. decision report from outside the turkey i'm here at these silly livery prison area at the outskirts of istanbul this is the jail wouldn't as usual was being held without charges for more than a year now until surprisingly today the news came that he was released pending trial he was released on bail that's something that really came as a surprise to many so all of us journalists were rushing to this prison to wait for him coming out through the prison gate but then he left through a back door in a car so we couldn't gather any images of him but certainly this is a very happy day for him and all the people who love and support him including of course his wife he is now free in the physical sense but not in the legal sense because as we hear state prosecution has presented an indictment accusing him of spreading terrorist propaganda and inciting hatred and say prosecutors have asked for jail time of up to eighteen years for mr yoo gel so the legal process is going to continue as far as we hear he is not banned from leaving turkey so the big question is will he now have to the airport try to leave the country as soon as possible or will he stay. day w. news live from berlin let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world prominent trumpet critic and former republican presidential candidate mitt romney has announced his bid for the u.s. senate he's on to represent the state of utah is being made he had been a potential candidate for secretary of state under president trump but before that he deals with one of the presidents a hotshots to critics during the twenty sixteen presidential campaign. a vigil in parklands of florida has paid tribute to the seventeen victims of wednesday's high school shooting a many of the people attending called for stricter gun controls all thought to say the nineteen year old suspect used a semi automatic rifle to carry out the second deadly shooting a school shooting in u.s. history. south africa's new president sitaram oppose it will deliver his first state of the nation address today is expected to last his plans for reviving the country after the jacob zuma years from opposer says he'll also outlined steps to tackle corruption on of the key issues that brought down his previous as. well here in germany the first day of the annual munich security conference have seen germany's defense minister criticize the u.s. moves to cut spending on the united nations sort of from the lie and also argued that diplomacy and development aid are just as essential as military strength and she spoke about nato. wanting times outlandish we want to remain transatlantic but we also want to become more european i know that we want to enable europe to carry more weight in terms of military power so that europe can be more independent and self-reliant and ultimately that includes nato. for as such or indeed of there's just political correspondent melinda crane who is at the conference in munich oh welcome melinda a partnership seems to be quite the topic during this conference in particular relations between europe and the united states. indeed although in an interview with the defense minister of germany i couldn't quite get her to admit that she was speaking directly to the united states with her remarks but it was pretty clear from the context she essentially said we cannot have a division of labor where one country is largely responsible for hard power for the use of military force and the others do the soft stuff the development work the diplomacy she made a rather impassioned plea saying that security goes hand in hand with with battling climate change it to ensure climate security with fighting hunger with ensuring economic prosperity and she said in quite a memorable statement the development aid worker needs the soldier and vice versa all of that indeed very much a message to the government in the united states that has cut spending on the united nations cut spending on development aid and cut spending on diplomacy but the secretary general the nato secretary general against stoltenberg also talked about the need for greater a unit so cooperation what might that look like in the future. well one thing that the e.u. is doing not least following through on signals that the trumpet ministration and also u.s. governments before president trump barack obama also saying to the europeans you need to step up to the plate you need to take more responsibility for your own defense so one message running through a number of the remarks we've heard here today also from the french defense minister mr stalled in addressing it as well the fact that the europeans in two respects are beginning to do that one is an initiative called pescado permanent structured cooperation it involves a large number of european countries not only western european also eastern european countries starting to coordinate procurement starting to coordinate military development starting to think about coordinating missions and the german defense minister was quite clear saying this is not in competition to nato this is in partnership with nato we know we have to do more the french defense minister saying this is tough for us but we are going to do it the other area increased spending again a constant message from washington for years now with this conference that the europeans must pay more for their own defense the french defense minister said this is really tough but we are doing it i've got it in my budget and the defense minister of germany as well saying we're going to do that but we're going to increase development spending as well we say the two go hand in hand and we're committed to raising both. the united states is likely to react to those messages that coming from today's conference we haven't we have not yet heard from members of the trump administration they are here the defense secretary is here as is the national security adviser and it will be interesting to see whether they pick up on these calls that we're hearing from really every. so far today also from the secretary general of the united nations saying security must be conceived and implemented in a holistic manner meaning we need to think about the economic side we need to think about the political side we need to work to restore trust that was the theme of the united nations secretary general in his remarks and and again and again the sense that if we don't work on the political and economic fronts then all of the investment being put into the military including very much by the u.s. administration could be futile so it will be very interesting to see what kind of response we get from those who are attending from washington and melinda another big message from today very much that the world's problems are increasingly interconnected so that a problem over there becomes a problem over here. indeed. in fact there is a message that the world in many places is more dangerous than it was a year ago i just a few minutes ago spoke with the head of the eurasia group in bremmer they say the world is as dangerous as it has more dangerous than it has been at any time since the financial crisis since two thousand and eight and indeed the complexity and interconnectedness of many of the world's problems is one reason why the risks are higher take the middle east that was a focus of a number of people's remarks today including the u.n. secretary general saying all of these different spots in the u.s. in the middle east syria iraq. israel palestine all of these and the saudi arabia and iran tensions are interconnected it's systemic and that makes it very very difficult to to work on but we must have a holistic approach something we also heard from. the head of the emirate of qatar who said we need a conference that involves all parties in the middle east another such issue the issue of nuclear weapons speaker after speaker have said the risk of a hot nuclear confrontation has not been as high as it is right now for a very very long time since the cold war and a sense that the nuclear conflict over north korea is intractable in some ways very very difficult to solve because in fact we have the entire united nations security council on one page and yet there has not been a real breakthrough in working on this conflict so there too a number of calls from a number of speakers saying we need to keep the pressure on north korea at the same time we need to take a systemic approach to this that that takes into account both the carrots as it were and the sticks. in the cradle the munich security conference thank you. plan to avoid an all our diesel back here in germany which however this is not the sort of going to go down well with the public i don't think it's going to be a very popular plan it's potential plan meaning that it could be the car owners putting their hands in their pockets so here's the idea to handle diesel instead of just the call industry coughing up how about taxpayers here stumping up some of the cash to make vehicles compatible with emissions standards not us the proposal from one of four expert groups mandated by the government to come up with a solution to avoid an all out diesel by. the suggestion the german taxpayer should partake in any of the costs of upgrading dirty diesels has sparked consternation many people in germany believe it's car makers responsibility to bear the entire cost of reducing emissions. but it's unclear how far carmakers are willing to go for expansion for example still reeling from revelations of cheated in emissions tests has questioned the idea or perhaps more likely the expense of installing new hardware c.e.o. mathias miller saying we are in general ruling out hardware upgrades not only due to the effort that would be required but also because of questions over its effectiveness. germany has come under increasing pressure from the e.u. to improve air quality the government's even been mulling plans to ban diesels from some high pollution areas but with the image of the car industry ready badly damaged the idea that taxpayers should bear any financial burden for dirty diesels is not going down well in many quarters. of more on this let's bring in our financial correspondent who's in frankfurt for us daniel here in germany i mean diesel gate has provided a little compensation for the car owners affected and now potentially it could be the taxpayer footing the bill i mean surely this must be going down very well for the car industry. yeah it sounds like a really good deal for the carmakers and what i'm also hearing from investors that they are actually liking the idea because this at the end is going to mean less money that carmakers will have to spend and as a result we also saw most of the car maker shares actually going up but yet it's a very controversial topic because many people also people who are not driving a diesel are saying well why do we have to pay with our taxes for the bad doing or for the wrong doing off the car industry is clearly the industry is very much under pressure we're expecting also a verdict happening next week on thursday in leipsic regarding a possible diesel ban in the city of the sold off well that's a draft proposal and it certainly sounds like a hard sell danielle but it's friday of course so wrap up the markets for us. yet it was still a week with investors here being very nervous because of what happened last week on wall street when we saw this correction happening also when you look at today's trading day this really reflects what happened all of this week we are still dealing with a very volatile market on wednesday for example in regards consumer numbers we saw at the roots of index stocks here really dropping and then it recovered the dax will finish this week with a plus of about two point seven percent but there is still this fear of more interest rate hikes and possible inflation from the united states so most likely in next week this will be also very much on the focus off investors can you quote first aid frank thank you. all right now germany's allianz insurance company announced a drop in net profits of two point three percent to six point eight billion euros for last year but it says underlying profits that this year are stable now a string of storms in europe and natural catastrophes around the world took their toll on audience profits the company paid out just over one billion euros in disaster claimed in twenty seventeen now that it's nearly double the amount from the year before. fights back fill match for his upstate with the latest from one of the. deep thank you so much i don't know yes we're talking about the lead out of the boat and film festival another day and a film all three. david leavitt's fairly stand that welcome david talk us through today's red carpet action. they feel so right behind me and sort of the first crowds of fans have lined up waiting to see robert pattinson and he's going to be coming through in just about an hour this is the glory of the bell you know if you will if you're robert pattinson fan you just need to show up with a blanket stay warm and you'll see him he's here for his new movie it's called damsel and this is a western but it's kind of a different kind of western it's a parody of a western and it really turns the tropes of the western on its head because the damsel in distress it turns out doesn't need saving she's actually the strongest and smartest character in the movie robert pattinson is character as with all the other men and it turns out turns out to be a total idiot. but this is really fits in with this year's best you know this is the first betting on this since me two so strong women characters are definitely present here at this year's. ok so we like the look what else have you seen. well actually funny enough there's a world premiere of another western going on it's called black forty seven and this is also a different kind of western it takes place on the backdrop of the irish potato famine it's about a deserted from the british army who comes home to ireland in eight hundred forty seven he finds his family freezing and starving to death basically and he goes on this bloody path of vengeance against the british colonial powers and ireland very different western a lot more serious definitely not of comedy. ok you made reference to the maid and this being of course that the first step out in all the wet maids who has been in the house hasn't made itself manifest that. well we've seen a little bit of action on the red carpet i should say this red carpet behind me there was some debate about turning it black in solidarity with the me too movement there was even a petition going on to get that changed it didn't happen but we did see was night a lot of people wearing black helen mirren in a black dress tom took the jury president and his black scarf so there is some some solidarity with the me too movement certainly and there's also an effort to include more female voices one of the main the main figures at the very knowledge is trying to do that as a programmer named pas lasar we've got a little profile on her. belly now has more to offer than simply the glamour of the main competition there's also challenging cinematic art aimed at getting audiences thinking the panorama section is known for films like that and this year and her new director pass nasser oh it's tackling the topic of the moment. and then you're going to last and i think that this year the focus is on women and not simply because of the large number of women directors and producers nearly forty percent in our section but also because women are at the center of most of the productions we're showing and. that's certainly the case in the opening film of the panorama special a self-confident woman dr spends her vacation alone on a sailboat but an encounter at sea changes her journey dramatically she's just one of the courageous and assertive women on screen in the panorama. and can end up with it and in general you can say that in all of the films but especially in the ones from latin america there's a strong resistance to portray in women as victims and running everything out. like in this documentary from brazil. forms the guiding our must from spiegel's nostra score must ye. things. worth. it shows a transgender artist from the poor outskirts of sao paolo in her daily struggle against machismo this is one way films of the belly nala responding to the me to debate. the fact that so many courageous women were willing to bring injustice to light has deeply changed the audience and us to. them and and that's reflected in the panorama program with films that promote social change or show utopian visions like this japanese science fiction film in which the end of the world is near and only a woman can save humanity. and at the piano it seems like an appropriate moment and data that we will talk to you and the day i enjoy what you're doing you would hope you're watching the news. top story of this hour he has released the attacks
