Playing. Little rock thank you so. Much for your company everyone. We started our broadcast with what some are calling the final showdown in syria where millions of lives are at risk while today the United Nations is calling on military powers involved in syria to avert a humanitarian catastrophe and it lit the u. S. Envoy to syria Staffan De Mistura has said ongoing talks between russia and turkey hold the key to resolving the fate of its live its the last major rebel held region in syria the area saw several airstrikes today that rebels and an independent monitor said were russian russia and syria are said to be considering a deadline next week to launch attacks on the enclave meanwhile u. S. President donald trump appealed to the syrian president to avoid hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties and it led. And he did when you spoke to mark lowe cockhead of the u. N. Office for the quarter nation of humanitarian affairs now that previous rebel enclaves in aleppo and eastern who have fallen we asked him what makes the situation is live so explosive the way that the. Siege is in the conflict in aleppo and has to go to ultimately were resolved was by large numbers of fight is being passed out of aleppo and used. And being taken to it live there are thousands of fighters many of them very extreme many of the members of prescribed terrorist organizations and theres no mutilated for those people to move to way are doing everything we can straining every sinew to avoid a great big bloody battle because if it happens in the way some people are talking about it could be the biggest humanitarian catastrophe you seen for decades certainly the biggest in the twenty First Century a dire warning and there for the u. N. Lets cross over now to on shiloh over who is covering this story from beirut for us a very good evening and shall put this in perspective for us contextualize it why does the battle for it live matter whats at stake. Well first the numbers are huge there are three million syrians in libya as we speak and thats basically that the dust of the that is about to occur if it is attacked which seems pretty imminent now now if you look at if they have sixty percent of this territory is under the control of an extremist or how this group known as the which was earlier an affiliate of this organization. And experts believe journalists believe as well that this still have ties with our part what theyve done is theyve embedded themselves in areas which have huge concentrations of civilians while sixty percent of it is under their control and most of the people in the live are civilians and these people were bussed from areas like a leper and there on the several reconciliation deals most of them are against the sit in government and they were told this is your city but if it is attacked if the status was attacked and clearly they would be attacked too so its not a promise kept it is not safe for them where would they go and we just heard that you were presented over before you came on air warning of a bloodbath or hearing you were put now as well on the situation of the civilians in libya is a bloodbath inevitable now. Well its not inevitable casualties will happen and they will be high but what were hearing now from several stakeholders that ive been talking to even the iranians have said and some that ive spoken to personally then going to live may not be one big battle but several smaller ones though it will be difficult for that to be organized the reason is the presence of this devastation eyes ation and that russia and the Syrian Government are pretty adamant on taking it in the back so a catastrophe is likely we dont know what the scale of it is going to be because russia are also talking that meeting in istanbul later this week to finally decide how it is attacked a battle is inevitable but how large its going to be we dont know but there will be casualties and they will be massive casualties just because of the numbers the three million citizens in that area and that cant be reassuring for people in in libya currently there at the moment lets talk about stefano de mistura ive got forty seconds left he appealed specifically to turkey and russia to help find a solution i mean what is that in their interest to find a solution at this late stage. It is in their interest to find a solution because turkey is up to three million refugees duckie also does not want a wall there to have war refugees not going to go and then an additional problem perhaps where europe as well it is there in that interest they have already cooperated when it came to offering which was under the control of sit in class that pretty much handed them over to turkey but it all depends on what sort of an exchange takes place what sort of a negotiation is going to be the expos that ive been talking to all of them say one thing if turkey cant can raise this debt it is Extremist Organization of. I did disband all of the board rate or islamist rebel factions then the scale of the war would be limited but this group is not is refusing to do so so we still have to actually wait for saturday and see what the two countries talk about over our reporting from beirut thank you and we shift our attention now to japan which is being battered by the strongest typhoon hit to hit the country in a quarter of a century authorities have urged a Million People in western and Central Regions of the country to leave their homes and move to temporary shelters if people have so far died as typhoon hit the cities of kobe osaka and kyoto were to wrenshaw rains and violent wind gusts.

Students working out of the proverbial garage wanted to make the internet and the searchers on the internet better googles ambitions were courageous delivering the worlds information to anyone with access but a lot has changed over the last twenty years. Googles Business Model is simple users searching the internet tell google about themselves allowing google to sell targeted advertising to businesses the firm i. P. O. At eighty five dollars a share in two thousand and four and quickly rose in value. New products like google mail and acquisitions like you tube expanded google from a Search Engine into an Online Network where users could shop news. As the mobile internet and apps begin to rise google moved to make up ground to pioneer apple releasing the android operating system and app store. Today google employs more than eighty five thousand people worldwide and is worth more than seven hundred billion dollars it has fifteen data centers around the world and thats part of the problem information is increasingly seen as something to protect tech firms are being held to new standards of social responsibility. And inside google there are pushes for gender diversity and against collaboration with governments like the u. S. Or china. So a lot of transformation in only twenty years.

Crisis ridden venezuela is breaking with tradition president Nicolas Maduro has put a stop to massive fuel subsidies the country boasts the biggest oil reserves of the world so up to now gasoline cost next to nothing but not any longer less a country lurchers ever closer to economic collapse it socialist government is desperately looking for sources of revenue. Venezuelas gasoline is the cheapest in the world but that also lures people across the border to fill their tanks so last month president Nicolas Maduro said hed raise prices and give some venezuelans a fuel discount card instead he blamed foreigners for the move. It to norfolk timothy you know this new system aims to cut the hands off colombians good jews who steal our gasoline and steal billions of dollars of gasoline along the venezuela. Maduro claims venezuela loses eighteen billion dollars a year to gasoline smuggling but analysts say the real problem is political favoritism and corruption venezuelas once proud all industry is only a shadow of its former self output has dropped to its lowest level in more than fifty years thanks to decades of underinvestment by the state owned oil company the country with the Worlds Largest oil reserves is now barely able to pump it out of the ground venezuela is in the grip of hyper inflation the i.

Frank world wants to be the heart of europes financial world after the u. K. And london will have left the e. U. But theres fierce competition more on that a little later in the show for now back to you later thank you so much christopher all spain has become the primary dissipation for migrants making the dangerous journey to europe or across the Mediterranean Sea more than six hundred people have been rescued from boats in the past few days crossing from morocco to Southern Spain the number of people crossing the mediterranean has in fact dropped significantly this year but due to at least a new closed border policy many hopefuls are shifting aiming for spain instead while at least a refusal to accept ships carrying rescued migrants was spearheaded by mateo so being italys interior minister who leads the right wing in our party. Max hoffman spoke with mr south. Lets talk about the European Union and the topic of migration a little bit European Union you seem at odds with the e. U. At some point do you feel like the goal Going Forward is to find compromise with the e. U. Or confrontation. You know even though im often described as an extremist im always trying to reason to discuss to ask questions take the revision of the treaty of dublin and operations to fear for instance were making proposals were waiting were suggesting it is clear that i had to stop the migrant landings last year in the period up to august one hundred thousand migrants arrived and the European Union did little or nothing this year we had fewer than twenty thousand landings and the European Union is still doing little or nothing so i am still willing to debate that recently weve also been talking to some non European Countries such as albania serbia and montenegro when i saw you deal with the Prime Minister of hungary and you talked about this new alliance somehow i thought what you want is closer to what im going to america wants because you want the redistribution of migrants within the European Union victor orban doesnt want that arent you closer to me than to orbit. Chip im trying to get something good out of everybody viktor orban talks about defending europes borders about protection in the countries of origin and investment in africa and i agree with him Angela Merkel is proposing a redistribution inside europe and i can agree even with this position in the very near future what we have to do is help these people so that they dont flee their countries we should be rapidly investing five hundred Million Euros in africa i believe that both germany and hungry are right regarding certain issues. I join us what people do. You saw whats happening in cabinets in germany right at the moment. With the right wing with you know for you whats happening. Somebody said that this is also im going to americas fault whats happening there because of the migration crisis do you agree. Comment that american i would say that angular machall certainly underestimated the risk of a social clash when she claimed that there was space to hundreds of thousands of people in germany i still remember what happened during the new years eve celebrations in cologne in twenty fifteen and also elsewhere however violence is never a solution violence calls the bobbins but the German Government has been underestimating the problem for years and the rise of the a f d is clearly a reaction. To do this. So youve done one hundred days now you think this government is going to hold another year so yes i think that this government will have a long life if it respects its obligations to the italian people harder than you thought it would be. Im happy that i can finally participate in what is happening you know meant that you also Michael Lavarch is it harder than you thought it would be yes or no. But its not easy its a little big country we have important challenges to face but i was tired of being in the opposition got out to you know started their work. And you can see the interview in full with them i think its i mean by heading to our web site thats dot com now back here in germany thousands of people are urg
