The boy. And after three years of losses germanys top Lender Deutsche Bank has ousted its c. E. O. Will the new man at the top be able to revive the banks fortunes. And people in the german city of months the mourn the victims of saturdays man attack as Police Reveal more details about the personal life of the forty year old perpetrator. Im brian thomas a very warm welcome to the show we begin in hungary where the right wing nationalist Prime Minister viktor orban has won a decisive victory in that countrys general election during his campaign or bonn took a hard line on immigration calling migrants a threat to hungarys christian identity in his victory speech he said the results gave on gary ans the chance to defend themselves. Heres. Why. On a triumphant. Hungarys right wing nationalist Prime Minister winning hes third consecutive term in office and hundred fourth term overall it follows a campaign in which all band rallied almost exclusively against what he described as the poison of immigration. Theres a big battle behind us. We have won a crucial victory got a chance gave ourselves a chance to defend hungary. Where you. All burns populist in euro skeptic messages of strained ties with the e. U. But they won his fetus party almost half the votes because of complex election laws hes on track to secure a two thirds super majority in parliament voted turnout rage close to seventy percent exceeding the past three elections it had been thought that high turnout might favor the far right opposition your beak and this into lift socialists but trailing far behind the winner the leaders of hungary second and third biggest parties every design following the result. I respect the decision of the voters even if it hurts and feels bad even if one expected a lot more support. But we have to accept it as part of life and part of democracy when things go differently to what we would have liked. Or been strong victory hands him increased legitimacy but it means almost certain trouble for independent media and civil groups at harm and likely more clashes with brussels. For more from budapest lets bring in our correspondent there on the far far of this is another convincing victory for viktor or bollywood support exceeding even the expectations of as a feeder party. Definitely if you wake up this morning and you look at the electoral map its orange except for a few spots here and there including the capital city it would have passed which is not in the color of orange the color of the fittest body but of course alone the fact that there was such a huge voter turnout and he did not benefit the opposition as it traditionally does but it benefited the fit as a governing party is something that a lot of analysts im going to look at as they try to dissect these numbers and the results and of course the great big question is what the fetus government is going to do with this super majority ive also promised a victor or by being elected for the third consecutive term for a fourth in total since he started his political career as a as a as a leader of the fittest party is of course a huge victory for the fetus party and at the same time the opposition is trying to figure out what to do next maybe to look for a different candidate in the future or try to somehow find a way out of this fragmented political situation between the opposition parties to somehow get an answer what to do next in the next four years to make sure they have a candidate that they can put on the table that people are more convinced of than they were this time around theres been a lot of criticism of the opposition on able to present a convincing counter candidate what about this success what was behind it was it the decision by were gone the focus mainly on migration. Migration was definitely the focus of the selection it definitely worked well that a lot of fittest voters but a lot of opposition voters of course said no thats not the number one topic we want highest salaries of but to care in hospitals high up pensions so depending on Party Performance of course there are different answers about the ballots were cast on sunday but certainly migration was a topic one of the main topics and its going to hear its going to stay here in hungary as well as in confrontation with brussels as promised the victor all but is going to do everything to make sure that hes pushing for more sovereign agenda comes to the status of hungary get in the European Union before they force or force this morning from budapest which has a new incumbent president for another term a third consecutive third term now for viktor orban thanks very much. Or we have this news on our mongering group says some fourteen soldiers have been killed in a missile attack on a Syrian Government air base this airstrike happened in the problems of almost russia says israel launched the attack israel is declining to comment at this hour of the airstrike follows an alleged poison gas attack on the city of doom over the weekend which killed at least forty civilians and the u. N. Security council will be meeting later today to discuss the alleged use of chemical weapons in duma. These pictures appeared to show strikes on the town of duma in eastern. Its the last remaining rebel stronghold following a relentless russian backed onslaught on the region which began in february the white tell me its volunteer rescue groups say at least forty people including many children were spics yates in the chemical attack. On the regime continues the intense and violent shelling barrel bombs were dropped by helicopters carrying poisonous substances. Until now paramedics havent been able to enter because of the continuous shelling the regime is trying to wipe out this area. Syria denies its Government Forces launched any chemical assaults nonetheless International Condemnation has been swift and blunt. U. S. President donald trump took to twitter blaming russia and iran for supporting syria and describing its president bashar assad as an animal in Rome Pope Francis during mass and simply to square denounce the attackers unjustifiable. Yeah. We pray for all the dead for the wounded for the families who suffer. There is no good war and bad war. In me and nothing nothing can justify the use of such instruments of violence against people and unarmed populations in. The syrian army released pictures which it says showed troops moving towards to the army dismissed claims of the cast attackers fabrications the military insists its advancing rapidly and does not need chemical weapons. Ok lets find out more about this now with scott lucas a professor of International Paul turks and american studies at the university of birmingham thanks for being with us this morning scott now the Syrian Government saying it was not behind this alleged chemical attack do we have any evidence at this point and what does the evidence show. Yes i mean the evidence is almost conclusive that this was an assad regime attack on the school to remember of course this is the same area that five years ago that is saad regime attacked a certain nerve agent killing more than fourteen hundred people on this occasion and we have evidence from doctors from First Responders from citizen journalist and from residents themselves that helicopters were over the air dropping both conventional and also chemical munitions at the time of the time there were two attacks the first was on saturday afternoon with chlorine the second was with a substance which is stronger we dont know what type of chemical agent it is yet but it is the second time we killed most of the at least eighty five deaths and hundreds of wounded that we saw up to this point ok now earlier this morning we saw an attack on a Syrian Government air base in an apparent retaliation after you emphasize an apparent retaliation for the alleged chemical weapons attack thats the homs military airport the u. S. Says it was not behind the attack russia is accusing israel do we have any idea who might have hit the homes airport with missiles this morning. You know we have two separate strands to your the first is a possible response to the assad regimes Chemical Attacks which not only the u. S. But france have actually indicated as possible the second is that israel has attacked this airbase before its called the tea for air base and central syria it attacked in february because its an iranian personnel who were at the base that launched a drone into israeli airspace israel has a pattern of course of attacking assad regime targets including air bases to try to limit the presence of hezbollah and iran and movement of weapons to them so it is possible that israel carried out this attack for reasons unrelated to the Chemical Attacks by the assad regime or is possible and were not being told yet that israel was in consultation with the United States or maybe another country like france as it made the decision to attack ok when we look at all of this the possibility that this was an Israeli Attack the comments the very strong comments coming from washington and as you mentioned from paris as well are we looking at a new escalation in the syria conflict. Well the Syrian Crisis moves from escalation us glacial but primarily lets start with this it is because the assad regime backed by russia has been trying to retake territory what we have is the question now not i think of a u. S. Airstrike which is directly against russia thats not going to happen or you us french israeli airstrike on multiple assad regime targets its going to be the question as to whether the International Community including the u. S. And france but other countries are going to say now that civilians who were outside regime areas will now be protected and those protected zones of course could include no fly zones which tell the assad regime and the russians no more attacks from the air no more conventional attacks as well as Chemical Attacks will that stuff be taken we were at this point six years ago were five years ago after the initial times and it wasnt done then we dont know if it will happen no fly zones a very controversial issue of course they could come up today at that u. N. Security Council Meeting scheduled for later today thanks very much professor scott lucas of for us from the university of birmingham thank you. Now for a look at some of the other stories making the news at this hour in canada vigils been held to honor the fifteen members of a junior Ice Hockey Team killed in a bus crash on friday and as a people attending including the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and members of the National Hockey league the accident is one of the worst hit count of the sporting community. The u. N. Secretary general antonio guitarist has met with chinese president xi jinping and other chinese leaders in beijing concerns about global trade tensions and rising protectionism and called china absolutely crucial in the International System this as beijing and Washington Exchange escalating threats over terrorists. German police have carried out raids on several properties and arrested six people on suspicion of planning an attack on berlins halfmarathon on sunday one of them is reportedly suspect theyre planning a knife attack on spectators and participants in that race. Lets get over to hell on now and all change this morning at the at your bank old change brian george bank is getting a new c. E. O. Effective immediately custody and saving is set to take over the helm all the geminis biggest lender you can see him there behind me now hes a veteran of the bank hes worked there for almost thirty years most recently as the co deputy c. E. O. Now he takes over from this man this face you probably know joan cry and hell have an uphill climb ahead of him as he takes over from john prine the bank has been struggling to turn a profit under crimes tenure. Christianes even knows Deutsche Bank from the inside out the new c. E. O. Has spent thirty years there rising from Financial Adviser to board member so he knows what hes getting into the even replaces dont cry and who took over three years ago the englishman was able to settle numerous legal disputes he downsized the banks underperforming Investment Banking division cutting jobs but years of fines and penalties drain business down. Deutsche bank is in a permanent state of crisis under koreans tenure the bank struggled to contain its losses cutting those losses is kristan savings top priority now and that means hell have to untangle his predecessors mistakes most experts think that means Deutsche Bank will be returning to its roots in the traditional banking sector. And our financial correspondent Daniel Cooper is at Deutsche Bank headquarters in frankfurt daniel and you man in the top job Effective Immediately was the Market Reaction. Yeah hi there helen well when you look at the share price of dog bank today its actually the strongest performer at the blue chip index dax a big class of three per cent investors have been criticizing a lot throughout the last time that the bank was way too focused on themselves they want that the bank is again on the right track and those this big plus we have certainly not seen in the past just this year the share price of torture tumbled by twenty eight percent in the last three years actually more than sixty percent all right so positive Market Reaction so far but saving hasnt done anything yet so whats his first job. Well he has a lot of things to do bring the share price back and again on the track and finally the bank needs to make money again three years of losses in the last year a big minus of Seventy Eight seven hundred fifty billion euro Million Euros in the first statement we also heard that he wants to make a tough decisions mostly regarding to the Investment Banking division that has been really a struggling in the past and also he will need to make sure that there will be again a Global Player in the Worldwide Market all right daniel and did john cryan even really have a chance. Well he had a very difficult position he was hired to make reforms to let people go and he was never the chinese c. E. O. Like some of his predecessors so now most likely you will remember for those big losses the lander had throughout the last years this is maybe a little bit unfair because yes he did actually do many reforms he was able to restructure the bank the brand pos bank for example he worked on those many pending losses at the end he also had the problem that he just didnt get along well with the chairman of the Supervisory Board like the who then you know was looking for a new boss a financial correspondent daniel cope for us in frankfurt at the headquarters of a do it your bank which has a new man at the top thank you very much. Meanwhile in london five traders from Deutsche Bank and British Bank Barclays take to the stand today in the first euro bore wreaking trial now hirable is the benchmark Interest Rate is set in brussels and banks charge it to each other to lend your ears the trade is a charge with manipulating that rate to their advantage at the height of the Global Financial crisis. The past is catching up to do it to bank again the german lender had hoped the euro bourses candle was over allegations of rigging the average interbank Interest Rate has already cost Deutsche Bank billions of dollars in penalties in the u. S. U. K. And in the e. U. In the last two years that some traders involved are going on trial is throwing the bank back into the spotlight Deutsche Bank is one of the banks that set the europe or rate that rate is calculated by the European Money Market Institute in brussels twenty banks from all over europe send their daily Interest Rates to the e m m i the institute calculates the weighted average of these rates to produce euro bore this interbank lending rate applies to all european banks past cases of manipulation often involve the banks consulting one another before disclosing their rate to the e. M. M. I to nudge your abor up or down because youre a bore underpins trading in various Financial Products that represent billions of dollars even tiny changes in the your board can result in enormous financial benefits for banks. Today we asked stephan from the Frankfurt School of finance whether the efforts to clamp down on into bank rate me manipulation will prove effective heres what he told us. I think it my tone ought to be effective eventually i mean given i mean its not only an Interest Rate i mean its not all of these sort of the individual people which which which benefited from that huge bonuses which was widely in the press but you also need to realize the the extent of business which is relying on these Interest Rate this is a this is hundreds of trillions of euros or dollars in in in contracts in the loan markets and the bond markets so its an important to to get this riot and to find an Interest Rate which is first of all a not. That easy to be manipulated and then which is vitally accepted as sort of a risk free Interest Rate based on which he says its going to be prized. And that was professor sasha stephan at the Frankfurt School of finance right now is back of it brian is the german city of minutes they get sick grips with what was a tragic weekend theyre trying to right now and details are beginning to emerge about the man who drove a van into a crowd in the german city of munster on saturday killing two people one injuring twenty others police say he was wealthy that he had a number of run ins with the law hes also said to have expressed suicidal thoughts to a neighbor just last week while the people in months there have been attending a Church Service for the victims.
