Also in the next sixty minutes a second gene edited human pregnancy is on the way thats according to the Chinese Researcher who claims to have edited the genes of twin baby girls hes been telling a scientific conference about his controversial technique. That a taliban leader dismisses the plans for a peace settlement as an afghanistan conference opens in geneva it hopes to find ways to stabilize the country after decades of conflict. And a very warm welcome to you all im. President Vladimir Putin of wrong. Has accused the queen of committing an act of premeditated provocation in the naval confrontation off crimea that tensions escalated between moscow and kiev after russia sees three Ukrainian Naval vessels in a skirmish on sunday a short while ago putin commented on the crisis in public for the first time. Turns out that among the crew members two of them were Security Service members they confessed that they were members of the Security Services of ukraine only pleasingly q this points to it being an act of premeditated provocation. Tended to use this provocation as a pretext to impose martial law in the country. Nothing to do with an attempt to improve relations between russia and ukraine. It is an attempt to escalate the situation further its part of a dirty game being played in ukraine against its political opponents. So that was the russian president talking just a short while ago law school has strong suggestions by european officials that it could face fresh sanctions over the crimea crisis at least a dozen ukrainian sailors have been detained pending trial ukraines president has warned that russia is preparing for war and as asked germany for help. Speaking on Ukrainian State Television president Petro Poroshenko said he turned to berlin after the kremlin failed to respond to his request for dialogue it was. Immediately that i ordered a phone conversation with the president of russia Vladimir Putin. We did not receive any response and i had to turn to the german chancellor so that she could talk to put on the Immediate Release of ukrainian servicemen and ukrainian ships. Poroshenko also said the authorities would take all necessary steps to release the ukrainian sailors detained on sunday when russia ceased three vessels off the crimean coast captured sailors appeared in a Russian Court and were charged with unlawfully entering the country carrying weapons they face up to six years in prison. Earlier other sailors were shown on Russian Television saying they had deliberately entered russian waters as a provocation kiev denounced what it described as forced confessions moscow accuses kiev of sparking the sea skirmish to boost support ahead of an election. Most probably this provocation took place in order to achieve certain political decisions which are beneficial for the current president of ukraine. Ukraine accuses russia of illegally capturing its ships and sailors off the coast of crimea president Petro Poroshenko now claims moscow is preparing for an invasion together with the countrys parliaments he has imposed martial law in the regions bordering russia for thirty days. Fundamentally the whole martial law is. Getting the resources together. For everybody here in ukraine to understand. Hes our hero place whence the russians come for us president poroshenko insisted the meshes wont interfere with elections old for march but his decrees causing concern and confusion in the capital kiev for ukrainians its unclear what changes martial law will bring after a four year standoff with russia peace seems the distant outcome. And he have a correspondent Nick Connelly joins us now from the ukrainian capital kiev they got their reports the russians deploying new surface to air missiles to the Crimean Peninsula and ukraines president reportedly said this is a russian crew build up at the border what are you hearing there good morning amritsar well yes though that information about russia deploying. Ground to air missiles crimea that is official weve heard that from several sources in russia today in terms of intelligence provided by Petro Poroshenko yesterday the that was intelligence information satellite images that he showed ukrainian journalists purporting to show russian tanks massing along ukraines Borders Office thats very hard to verify independently but this is definitely worrying weve seen in the past during exercise this kind of thing but given the confrontation weve had in the strait of courage is really the first time that russia and ukraine have faced off against each other directly the conflict thats been going to last for years is by proxy thats ukraine against russian backed separatist nice the country but this is really the first time that the professional militaries of both countries seem to be standing and standing off against each other in such a direct way and were hearing that moscows concerns lie over a planned a Ukrainian Naval base which is being built in the area which moscow feels good threaten its geo Strategic Interests and russias calling seven ukrainian sailors and refusing to let them go is it normal to happen to them. In terms of the fate of the ukrainian sailors they were yesterday most of them given two month sentences for illegally crossing russias borders. Having said that i think you know the legal detail is less important if we get some kind of resolution to this we might see them out through some kind of humanitarian deal equally if the political situation continues to worsen and they may spend a lot longer in detention in terms of those plans by ukraine to up its defenses its naval defenses on the sea of as of i think its still very unlikely that ukraine in the near future will in any way be able to challenge russia there has been talk from some russian sources about fears that ukraines might bring nato forces there but theres no real clear perspective of nato offering ukraine any further guarantees so this all does seem fairly farfetched for now. So that was the economy talking to us from kiev just a short while ago now a major point of contention between russia and ukraine is ever closer relationship with the European Union we spoke to the head of the European Parliaments Foreign Affairs Committee about the incident in the catch straight between the russian coastline and the Crimean Peninsula russia has clearly shown aggressive behavior and this is a violation of International Rules and like many other International Representatives i would like to underline the position of the European Union that we condemn this russian attitude and we call on restraint and that one thing is clear the sea of azoff has been agreed between ukraine and russia to be open for commercial shipping for military shipping and for fishery shipping and that russia has no right to do what it did. So what should the the respond to this event. Well first of all many european leaders have already been involved in finding a diplomatic solution to not let the tensions try to raise i have been informed that among of as chancellor merkel and with president putin and with president poroshenko the statement of the European Union has been very clear in this issue that we want to defend the rights of ukraine and that after the illegal and acceleration of crimea for russia we cannot accept that step by step the sea of as of is supposed to become a russian territory or water this has been agreed in two thousand and freeway before the illegal an extension of crimea but both countries have the right to share this water already when the bridge was built. Strait of couch already that was a violation of International Regulations and a violation of the territorial sovereignty of ukraine it was a ukrainian ships who tried to cross straight from the sea of sea and russia says it was a provocation from their grain and side view this well if you look at the whole case from the objective point of view. Im not quite sure to put it in polite terms how you can actually see this as a provocation small ukrainian vessels were attacked by much larger russian ships so i think this is once again a typical form of russian propaganda. So that was David McallisterEuropean Parliaments Foreign Affairs Committee member now to some other stories making news around the world indonesian investigators sea lion air plane that crashed last month suffered technical problems the day before the accident and should have been grounded all one hundred eighty nine people on board the bling seven three seven were killed when it crashed into the sea shortly after taking off from jakarta.

Overnight to helena and the British Government delivers a stock morning about the financial fallout from briggs to tell another yeah absolutely amrita i mean this really backs up what economists have been saying for the past year or so but now from the British Government it says that leaving the European Union with no deal would cause the economy to shrink by more the nine percent over a fifteen year period the report which considered a range of post breaks that models suggest that even with Prime Minister teresa mayes deal britain will end up poorer outside of the block in alice this comes a fortnight before british m. P. s vote on teresa mayes to ruth deal with the people. And for more on this we can bring in our london correspondent now birkett mass joins us but get a fairly sober assessment there from the British Government breakdown the range of possibilities set out there by the government. Well first of all it is really interesting that this comes from a British Government so not some sort of Interest Group or lobby group but from the government itself who wants to get a deal through wants to get reasons made to resume a deal through parliament in just a couple of weeks time so its a range of different scenarios from britain staying fairly close to the you where there would be the least disruption and homes of g. D. P. To no deal which of course has been warned by business groups would be an absolute disaster mostly for manufacturing for car manufacturing and thats what British Business is really really trying to prevent and we see that in this worst Case Scenario which would really be britain crashing out of the European Union with no idea that the north of england where people really did vote for breaks at that they would be hardest hit so london the more the Financial Capital would be the least affected bought in the north where most of the manufacturing is this is where people really would suffer what about those who say that this statement ignores potential economic benefits of breaks that trade deals for example. Well i think some trade deals have been taken into account with big players like the u. S. But of course brick city is arguing that you cant trust these economic forecasts they called project fear they say that also in the run up to the referendum it was warned that immediately after the vote for brics it that the economy would crash and this hasnt happened so it also makes clear that its a political project its really not an economic project for people who really want to cut loose from the e. U. They think that maybe a shorter pain would be worth it they think its worth also for us for sovereignty and for britain to be a more agile player politically possibly also economically and burkett this statement coming ahead of course of that very to now sit commons on the eleventh of december on mays deal do you think that its going to you are dealing extra blow everything thats being discussed now is always seen through the lens of the vote thats going to come and a couple of weeks time and we have seen and ps today in the house of commons seizing on this report and they said well we have to just give this back to the british people do they really want to be poor even m. P. s that are in constituencies that voted for leave have said is this really in the interest of my constituents that they become poor or do they maybe need to think again and there have been more and more m. P. s arguing for a peoples vote so for this to go back to the british people and have a vote on the deal do they really actually want to spread it or not our correspondent in london burg it must breaking down that British Government report on the outcomes of breaks for the economy thank you very much indeed. And we should say that the bank of england has delayed the publication of its latest stress test results for major u. K. Banks it was set to be published at seven am this morning but they wont actually now come out until four thirty london time this afternoon and its stress test the bank of england wants to find out just how resilient the british Banking Sector really is if it comes to a halt no deal braggs it among scenarios played out through a three rather buy it analysts will plummeting property prices the Interest Rate skyrocketing to four percent and unemployment hitting almost ten percent its. Business later first back from rita. The fourth to german islam conference is underway here in berlin the conferences started back in two thousand and six and this is the official host is the interior minister horst zero for in the fosters been criticism that the summits focus too much on hard line conservative islam this time organizers say a more representative and Diverse Group of academics social scientists and religious leaders have been invited not the its top of the nearly five million muslims in germany. Now for more im joined by our chief Political Correspondent melinda crane welcome melinda and the conference began with the interior minister c. Hall for saying that muslims belong to me does that come as a surprise given his very conservative views on the issue. Absolutely it does hes been taking quite a different tone in the past shortly after he took office as interior minister he directly contradicted chancellor. Merkel she had said islam belongs to germany and so he said at that time no it does not now he said as the conference began quote unquote naturally muslims are a part of germany and they have all the same rights and obligations as other citizens so quite a difference in direction he did go on after that to say germany is though deeply deeply shaped by judeo and christian values and to tradition but what we need to remember is that he is the head of one of germanys most conservative parties he has been trying to stop the rise of a party further to the right the alternative for germany are f. T. By playing on prejudices against migrants and against muslims and the fact that he has been able to do so or thought he could do so shows how much we need this kind of a dialogue both about and with islam we went out onto the street to find out how germans see the complicated relationship between islam and germany and got some very different points of view. German islam is muslims trying to integrate into German Society and germans showing them more acceptance at times with the no one thing so it has nothing to do with animosity and that kind of thing. I have a good source i believe there are probably as many different islamic believing people as there are differently thinking people in other religions so id prefer not to make an overall judgement. We have to uphold our Cultural Orientation in europe thats our goal and also our values values which we are always talking about and should stick to that has to be respected while at the same time we respect there is of course that self evident in our constitution but we do have to maintain our values. That germany had cited be catastrophic. So the whole range of opinions then melinda given and that we have some five million muslims in germany how important is this is it to have dialogue on muslim integration in the mainstream very very important indeed and the conference aims to foster that kind of dialogue by bringing together representatives of various islamic organizations in germany with authorities from federal state and local government and those government representatives also include music you miss apologies that have taken in there a large numbers of migrants from syria refugees from the middle east most of them muslim so there is a very strong need to talk about how to better integrate them nonetheless as you s
