al-jazeera dot com fronts the u.k. and germany have issued a joint statement demanded transparency about the disappearance of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi they say a credible investigation is needed to establish what happened and identify who's responsible it is now twelve days since it was last seen walking into the saudi consulate in istanbul and despite an offer by crown prince mohammed bin salaam the saudis still haven't allowed to investigators into their compound the consul general gave reporters a tour of the building last week in a bid to show that well they had nothing to hide but he hasn't appeared in public since then and turkish police want to search his residence saudi arabia is warning that it will retaliate against any penalties imposed by the international community over the case that's after u.s. president trump threatened severe punishment of the kingdom was responsible for alleged murder well the threat of international punitive action against riyadh has

sent the saudi's stock market into a tailspin that fell seven percent on sunday its biggest drop in four years was shortly we'll get the latest on the investigation from jamal and shy al he's in istanbul first let's get more on the international reaction mike hanna is joining us live from washington d.c. so tell us what is in this joint statement from the u.k. germany and france. well it's a very strongly worded statement from the foreign secretary of the u.k. and the foreign ministers of france and germany stating very clearly that this is a freedom with the prestige chute and that the turkish saudi arabian joint investigation must be encouraged but it goes even further and it says that there has to be a complete explanation by saudi arabia and this message importantly has been conveyed directly by the foreign ministers to saudi arabia so here you have the

foreign ministers of britain france germany joining president trump in threatening some kind of action should the saudi arabians be shown to be complicit in the disappearance of jamal khashoggi so the situation ramping up here becoming even more of an international issue than it has been in recent days and wrapped up also by saudi arabia might because there issued this very strong statement that is denying what's happened and also completely defiant. well indeed yes and significant that that statement issued by the saudi news agency followed on in the comments by president trump in which he threatened severe punishment so clearly it can be seen as a response not only to general international condemnation but also to those words spoken by president trump president trump though

a bit of bullet on the situation he says too that he doesn't want economic sanctions to be imposed the said odds with his congress of the senate in particular sending him a letter demanding that ascensions be imposed should saudi arabia be proven to be responsible for the disappearance of. so the situation ramping up both internally and internationally as well president trump caught between the pressure from his congress and those ties that he spends much of his administration building up with saudi arabia and just lastly mike is treasury secretary steve in the new chin is he going to the conference in riyadh in what about nine days now or is he out what's the latest. well this is another question that hasn't really been on the neutral himself said on friday that yes he was going to go ahead to this conference we've heard in the course of today from the financial advisor that he is still

thinking of going but he will review it depending on what develops in days ahead we've heard the same from my pump a.o. what we do know though is that this is not going to be the treasury secretary's decision by himself it will be a decision taken by the trumpet ministration a decision which at the moment rests on details as they may or may not to merge the question is with steve minucci and will still go if the situation is still in the state of confusion and uncertainty mike thank you very much for that for now that is mike hanna with all the latest live in washington d.c. let's go to our correspondent jamal and shall now he's following all the developments from istanbul and jamal the u.k. france and germany now weighing in on this investigation twelve days and still little progress that we know of. indeed i mean it seems that the way in which the turkish authorities have been dealing

with this case from the very beginning is what's the key thing how it is unfolding that's arcs from the beginning where using diplomatic. avenues to try and find a way out of this to reach out to the saudis they then started using the diplomacy to try and build international consensus and get some sort of supports now that you have this tripartite says faith simmons from germany france or the united kingdom that came right after the trump statements that's also been joined by statements from the united nations from international human rights organizations press freedom institutes as well as other countries like canada it does seem that the talks are succeeding in the way they're building up this case however from a public perspective especially from a media perspective the reason still that frustration that maybe the evidence that's hard to say they have hasn't been made public but one would question then how all these different while powers and governments have decided to come out so

strongly if indeed that evidence hadn't been shared with them particularly take into consideration obviously the comments that came from the international community or rather the intelligence community in the united states which reacted on being given some of that evidence that's the bigger picture if we were to zoom in the base and specifically look at the details like the building behind me the fact that it's remained closed in the face of turkish investigators now for twelve days despite them repeatedly requesting cooperation from the saudis requesting that they be allowed in that is something that's going to frustrate its arcs and will continue to frustrate them even more so considering it's not obviously just not building as you mentioned there elizabeth there's still a request to search the consul general to home himself and the reason just to remind our viewers is that according to the traffic cameras that the talks had in their release this footage there was that suspicious vehicle the blacked out van drove out of the concert. behind me went directly to the consul general house which

is only a few hundred meters away from here just to give you a picture of it geographically we're backed up right to the door of it's inside the garbage there was some suspicious movement things being on loaded and offloaded and so forth for several hours and that's why they want to go into the consul general's home as well we understand the consul general been holed up in there ever since and hasn't been seen publicly for several days now when will turkish authorities do you think you know stop asking for permission to go into this consulate and go to the consul general home and actually use other avenues like the vienna convention. well that's a good question i mean it is a very delicate line to tread because the vienna convention the way in which it's and it's what governs how these diplomatic missions are dealt with it gives immunity to diplomatic sarees essentially it gives the immunity to their buildings it makes those buildings essentially state soil of that country even though they

are geographically placed in a foreign country and you can only answer is with that request approval from the government the turks don't want to set a precedence whereby that and the other country can then decide to storm the embassy or the confidence of other nations when you look at for example. immunity that is used by embassies it is always a thorny area look at for example the case of julian a sound hold up in the embassy in london look at other cases around the world so despite the frustration it may provide to host nations there isn't a college women's amongst the international community that that immunity is there for a reason in order to allow for that diplomacy to continue in the mechanisms of the international community to work and maybe that's why there will be a reluctance to do that the turks feel their position is strong enough but they already have the evidence to do it they seem to believe that there is still some parts missing and that's why they want the forensic experts to go when but as far

as the conclusions as to what's happened to democracy they believe it's a done and dusted deal and therefore it would be unlikely that they would storm the consulate or or answer it without. this approval from the explicit rather approval from the saudis all right john thank you very much for that is to modify our lives and istanbul. now the issue has added to the woes for the sol the economy which has had a tumultuous year so far first investor confidence was shaken after dozens of saudi billionaire and swells and bureaucrats were locked up in the yachts what's called her. tell the government said it was part of a campaign against corruption but many of them will forced to pay billions of dollars in exchange for their freedom then saudi put off the planned public share offering for its major oil company iran co the i.p.o. would have been the largest in the world and was part of plans to overhaul some of these economy on sunday saw the stock market the largest in the middle east

suffered its biggest fall in four years well we're joined now by the wall lambert from cutter university is a senior policy analyst at the social and economic survey research institute very good to have you with us on algis there are so as we've been reporting the stock market down something like seven percent two hours after opening how much of an impact how damaging has the crucial story been to the south the stock market so far . well this has been a serious concern and serious disappointment for many people in saudi arabia they were not expecting this to happen of course and as you rightly said this is only part of a larger stories which is unfolding moments have to mount you've mentioned the issue of businessmen were jailed in a hotel in riyadh but there was also a spat with canada a few months ago which also created friction in deciding the business community and

now there is. a no with the turkish case and most recently the french british and german diplomatic channels saying that they were very concerned to saudis does not very very well for the sody economy though it has been a market start like uncertainty there has been a number of incidents since crown prince mohammed bin salmaan has been in power there's a lot of talk at the moment about how right now anyway he is the coming something of a political pariah until it's proven until the you know the claims of have proven otherwise but so long as he is crown prince and he holds the purse strings well businesses stay away for long. well some businesses the largest ones will stay there are big infrastructure contracts with saudi arabia some armament contracts also which are very lucrative especially for the largest companies in the west but you're right

that some other companies probably smaller companies semi's that will try to wait and see before investing in saudi arabia before creating joint ventures with saudi businessmen that's a concern and also before announcing new projects i think some western companies will wait also there is a great incertitude with regards to the trumpet ministration will they create sanctions towards saudi arabia if we happen to learn. the journalists were murdered we don't know and incertitude is definitely bad for business now at the end of the day for the saudi crown prince this is very bad news he definitely wanted more investments he definitely wanted to trigger investment from the west and all what we've been seeing for the last two days are claims seems to push aside his idea of foreign direct investments coming to saudi arabia that's a lot of thank you very much for your time and your insights on the swing

appreciate it now the story continues to generate a lot of conversation online twelve days in and is here with some of that reaction that's right well saudi arabia tops the list of active social media users in the gulf region so needless to say they've been following the question case very very pricey but so have you our view is we've had plenty of engagement on this story in fact facebook comments left on saturday's episode of a.j. news grid were dominated by suggestions of how saudi arabia should or shouldn't be punished if it indeed was behind the alleged death of jamal khashoggi but an interesting focal point in all of this is the sales of arms between both the u.s. and saudi arabia and that was largely because of u.s. president or translated comments. i don't like stopping massive amounts of money that's being poured into our country and i know they're talking about different kinds of sanctions but they're spending one hundred ten billion dollars on military equipment and on things that create jobs like jobs and others

for this country i don't like the concept of stopping an investment of one hundred ten billion dollars into the united states. because you know what they're going to do they're going to take that money and spend it or russia or china or someplace else now reactions online came in fake and false including this one from political scientists in the strong has prioritised one hundred ten billion dollars in sales over the like a mode of a prominent saudi genesis what he's saying but it gets more complicated with some suggesting the billions of dollars a says that trump refers to don't exist well not just yet confused well bruce reidel from the brookings institute explains. there is no deal what there is is a series of one of these a wish list. if you go to the department of defense and asked can you show me the

one hundred ten billion dollar deal they'll come up with a list of potential sales some of which the saudis have expressed interest in many of which american companies have expressed a lot of interest in but there's no contract signed when you have an arms a real arms deal the department of defense. notifies the department of state which then notifies the senate the senate has thirty days to vote for or vote against. there's no hundred ten billion dollars deal that's even been notified to the department of state let alone the folks notified to the senate and he's right when you look at this release from the department of state law see it's listed with the words like memorandum of intent potential intended sales and even office but there were no commit to events called defense rather contracts mentions now us law

demands for the senate to approve these kinds of weapons sales to date it's been reported that appends going to fishel says that only seen contracts worth fourteen billion dollars so far but it's important to know that right now has about five hundred billion dollars in its reserves its economy was hit hard when oil prices fell in the last few years and more recently concern around the casualty cases clearly hurt saudi's wallet and to add to that critics say it concert ford to spend a fifth of its savings on buying weapons from the u.s. now we want to know what you think of president trump stunts we want to hit your voice so a.j. news group is the one you need to use and get in such with us. and there is a lot of interest in the story around the world but there is one exception and our program inside story is looking at why most of the arab world has been silent about g. you'll find that episode under the show's banner on al-jazeera dot com now we want

ambassadors from twenty seven member states of the european union have been summoned to a meeting in brussels let's go to our correspondent me baka he's joining us live from london what what more do we know about this meeting needs. well we're just been trying to work out a century how excited we should be about they said looks as if this doesn't come as a complete surprise to the twenty seven and busters from the e.u. member states they knew that they were expecting some sort of update on how breaks that negotiations are going but this summoning does come in the wake of an unexpected dash by dominic britain's of britain six secretaries to brussels earlier on sunday for talks with michel barnier the e.u.'s chief negotiator let's not forget the u.k. has been under tremendous amount of pressure recently ever since the e.u. heads of state resoundingly rejected the so-called checkers proposal put forward by to reason may last month the bit of the pressure of course to make real progress on

a number of things the northern ireland border between the republic of ireland an e.u. member and northern ireland the part of the u.k. has been a major sticking points in breaks it negotiations should we read more into this that it's simply being an update for the ambassador as well that's a bit unclear at this current stage we know that they're meeting at sixteen thirty g.m.t. so soon we don't know whether or not they will be possibly briefed on a potential breakthrough in breaks in negotiations which they could in theory then take back to their own respective countries and legislatures for further debate and discussion but it seems as if some movement is happening whether this is purely cosmetic to show that negotiations are going the right direction that's unclear at this current stage and naval we clear about whether bush representatives are invited to the meeting. again we aren't entirely

sure where the bridge representatives are going to be that looks as if they won't be we know that dominate the break the secretary is still in talks with michel barnier they are happening separately whether or not they'll join forces and be in one room at the same time again we don't yet know we do know however that the ambassadors meeting on their own sixteen thirty g.m.t. will come out with a progress report hopefully a bit later look forward to any that is made by live in london. and now to some other breaking news and an important border crossing between syria and jordan will reopen on monday that is for the first time in three is the syrian government or a took the area near the crossing from rebels and july it was part of a russian backed offensive to drive fighters from southwest syria the border used to be a major transit route for goods and passages and its closure has had a major impact on regional economies. to germany now that watching is underway to

elect a new regional parliament and the state of bavaria and the result could have repercussions for national politics chancellor angela merkel's coalition partner the christian social union has been losing support in the state where it's long been the dominant party it's under pressure from the far right alternative of germany and the centrist green a potties for more on this let's go over to munich cause fondant dominic cain is live for us and migration has been a key issue in this election dominic how has it affected and. that's the question which everyone has on on their lips right now given that the result is not that far away and it's been told as we close at sixteen g.m.t. so within the hour it's worth making the point that he's being the forces of the tournaments in many of the key cities in the very large cities with big populations

he's considered to be at this stage compensable as it was seen twenty thirty in the last time this woman was was elected as the issues that one of the central issues and say in this campaign has been migration and migration is managed both in this state very but also in germany the policies the seem to run to the rights of the populace rights been very clear that they believe that migration to be managed better but in a tight set stuff the way so that border controls toughened. and that there are coaches as it were numbers placed upon those who can come and stay in this state in this country contrast that with the perspective of the parties of the center left of the left who reject entirely this thesis that somehow increased migration has been bad for the state they say no that integration has been very successful and that the the people really want to concentrate on the issues the bread and butter issues as it were housing schooling and and that sort of thing health care these

are the issues that the parties of the left in the center left say are more important than find out what the voters think as i say within the next forty five minutes or so and interesting that the voters have been turning out and i remember you mentioning earlier in the day dominick that post still has an increase and postal votes to what happens and the varia is important not just to germany but europe too isn't it dominic. yes that's right the point to make here is if you you can imagine it as like a jigsaw that the the european picture is made up of lots of little pictures of german picture particularly so people invariably politicians in bavaria see their state that that by and the court adjourned the free state of area that they are free thinking they believe that their state is a first among equals in the federal republic of germany that's why the christie and socially new government here in partnership with with good america's conservative party nationally but they really fell out of the summit precisely over the issue of

border controls and the new deals with migration and so that's why if something happens that weakens the hold of the christian social union it has on the government here well there will be that that's a trauma here that will certainly produce off the shocks in berlin because remember that coalition that angle america has with very anomalous but also with the social democrats is on shaky ground with federal national opinion polls suggest that the main parties i'm not as popular now as they were twelve months ago so the last thing that angela merkel would want to see would be to see her allies here suffer electoral dominic thank you very much for that for now that is dominic cain joining us live from munich. if you're watching us on facebook up next as a boy in a story about the plight of refugees and noted now that doctors without borders has been kicked out and then later back to schools in iraq children in mosul are returning to the classroom as this city and lives of rebuilt.

hello there the weather across many parts of the middle east is now definitely heading towards winter the temperatures for many of us are dropping we're also seeing more unsettled weather as well as some cloud making its way eastwards we see a few showers over parts of iraq and iran and this cloud up towards the northeast is all say bringing some significant rain really drag the temperatures down as well so there is a maximum just five degrees on choose day and at times that is likely to be some heavy snow around as well be further towards the south and here in doha the temperature is easing as well it's still fairly humid though it does feel very hot if you're out in the sunshine still to the south of us this is a new band the remains of it and it's working its way northward so it's over the eastern parts of yemen them we're also seeing some showers over the far western

parts of a man and that's throwing plenty of cloud ahead of it so don't be surprised if in the eastern parts of saudi maybe up towards the u.a.e. and towards muscat there will be more in the way of cloud and just the outside chance of showers well down towards the southern parts of africa and here there is plenty of cloud too you can see it on the satellite picture gradually drifting its way towards the east the main focus of this is working away towards the east now there so it will be gradually drawing up a long night east coast if i fast forward to cheese day you can see the rains over towards the east and for to happen it's fine. we're. i have dedicated almost my entire professional life so that we venture and fight against corruption and what i have heard is that we need champions we need also to shine the light on those shampoos and this

of a palestinian woman who's dived off. to her and her husband's cobb that and much more on our website al-jazeera dot com. malbone the catholic archbishop who was shot in el salvador thirty eight years ago has been made a saint put francis' war blood stained belt during his cabinet ceremony in rome st peter's square the pope's also canonized one of his predecessors pulled the six to his pontiff in the one nine hundred sixty s. and seventy's john holmes looks back at the life of the priests who stood up for the poor while challenging the right wing military dictatorship. romero had just finished his sermon when a gun shot rang out an assassin's bullet struck the sixty two year old but the murder failed to extinguish his message of peace and social justice. now thirty

eight years later the catholic church is declaring him a saint extensively it's for a medical miracle curing cecilia florrie's of a life threatening illness but for her or many other salvadorans he's much more he's a person who fought for all salvador and fighting and continues to intercede for the country a brave man who defended life defended the family defended the most needy that's what he means to me many in the working class loved a role model for speaking out for equality and defending them against for pressure from the military led government conservative sectors on the other hand saw him as allied with leftist groups as the country lurched toward civil war he remains a divisive figure even now he knew that would put him in danger. i will not abandon my people but along with them i will run all the risks that my ministry demands in the end of right wing desk world order his murder a day off the heat to see the army to stop killing civilians tens of thousands

turned up to the funeral. even that was disrupted by explosions and gunfire. salvador's civil war ended thirty six years ago but the country still suffers from the causes that romero spoke against widespread inequality and boylan's now at the hands of warring gangs. the hope is that decades on his message will still resonate even among those too young to remember his life john home and. and saz back with us monitoring the celebrations around the sainthood char but there's definitely been plenty of it's been a great opportunity for salvadorans to come together both at home and abroad to celebrate romero pictures are being posted online from different gatherings across different places and one of those is by paul higgs and he says that he was very grateful and he's picked posted a picture there from el salvador of mass being held in his area now also another

person that has posted is heidi schlump she posted a picture from the box going to she says her first ever propel must and there's her selfie there of her in the vatican in some peter's square so and ins in south san salvador other people have gathered in squares to celebrate saying and watch the fireworks and many others marched also throughout the night in their thousands to commemorate remarrying candles and balloons seem to feature quite have really asked it a lot of prayer and as you can see there some very colorful outfits a lot of dancing now the british charity christian aid that wants to end global poverty tweeted live updates from el salvador march including this one here. was like the one. that my take i was like ok ok great for the outcome i was. ok i was ok. and pilgrims to st peter's

square went to great lengths not to miss this day to fund this trip some took out by clones they crowd funded their trip sold assets or even to into their savings to make this journey from el salvador all the way to the vatican. it's i'm going to. we're happy to have come here to join this important celebration of rumi wrote this for us will be a saint this means a lot for us overdue and we are proud of it. he was a very special priest in el salvador he supported the country and helped it and it was a very special thing and that is why we're here supporting him now that they have canonized him there are a lot of us five thousand of us have come from el salvador. or of salvador but other places like westminster abbey in the u.k. posted on twitter a photo of the statue of remember which can be seen just above their great west

door and as morales as she's a journalist bermudez jenna's for the l a times said this photo just here of door on dora is wearing a t. shirt with a photo of her daughter monica who is just a baby there with romero and she in fact said that it was one of the best days of her life when she met the archbishop himself and fernando nando's also posted saying and he's in. el salvador they said we have a saint we have a hero we have a legend so that just gives you an idea of the sentiment that we've been seeing plenty of love being shed online for the man that they call the voice of the voiceless but we want to know what your thoughts are and have you been taking part in any of those celebrations around the world do you get into. thank you very much sorry now we're going to the u.s. where midterm elections is just over three weeks away on the sixth of november they're being seen as a vote on president trump's leadership the republican party hopes the economy's

strong performance will help them rally support and one key battleground in the fight to control congress will be pennsylvania kristen salumi explains. business is booming at eighteen k. equipment in the last year they've hired fifty five new employees a twenty percent increase to make sell rent in refurbish industrial equipment we are on pace to have our best year ever general manager patrick koch gives president donald trump in his tax cuts a lot of the credit and consumer confidence at least after the election we noticed an uptick right away a lot of people were waiting in twenty sixteen to spend money until after november and it seemed like it was an opening of the floodgates right after that h. and k. is located just outside pittsburgh pennsylvania otherwise known as steel city the steel industry has benefited from new tariffs imposed by the president but some

a two time incumbent who warns lamb will help democrats obstruct the trump agenda economic future change for better or worse. everyone is going to put paychecks canvassers with the political action group working. erica have been going door to door trying to show voters a link between republican policies and rising costs the chaos of the current administration is sort of. open our eyes and. to what's going on as for patrick koch he won't say who he's voting for there are many business friendly democrats here there are business friendly republicans you know what i'm thinking about my business i think about how are they going to vote for for the small guys like us into proving the old adage that all politics is local and that democrats may have a reason to be optimistic even in a state that helped elect a controversial republican president. and kristen is joining us live from pittsburgh and pennsylvania now and that controversial republican president kristen

what the first republican in thirty years to carry pennsylvania bought it wasn't by much that can democrats take it back there's certainly focused on that on day. they certainly are they think they can get five or six seats here in pennsylvania in their quest to retake the majority in the house of representatives and as you said pennsylvania is a swing state president only won narrowly here so the democrats are counting on progressives in urban centers like here in pittsburgh and philadelphia to rile up progressives who are really angry and dissatisfied with president trump's rhetoric and policies and they're also looking at those middle of the road blue collar voters who maybe voted for president trump in two thousand and sixteen but now are not so sure and may be willing to come back to the democratic party another thing going for democrats here and pennsylvania is that the voting districts have been redrawn

a court found that they had been drawn unconstitutionally to favor republicans now the voting districts could be a benefit for democrats as they attempt to win these seats but republicans aren't giving up here president spent in pennsylvania he was here for a rally last week in the week before that in just in the last twenty four hours he tweeted his support for connor lam's opponent keith roth is calling him a fantastic guy and someone who is needed in the fight to make america great again christian thank you very much for that for now that is kristen salumi joining us live from pittsburgh thank you let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world a taliban attack in western a vanished on has killed at least seventeen soldiers eleven all those have been taken hostage gunmen are reported to have attacked seven security check posts and far province on saturday night. now children and iraqi city of mosul back into classes more than a year off the city has reclaimed from eisel the group shut down and destroyed most

exhibiting impulsive behavior is including fidgeting interrupting and being easily distracted this research published in the journal of child psychology and psychiatry looked at seventeen studies across twelve countries covering more than fourteen million children in all of these countries with the nations with high rates of a d h d or where prescription rates are lower it was more common for the youngest children in the classroom to be assessed as having a d h d o or of the blood takers are looking at each of the youngest kids in class and comparing them to the other children in classes and mistaking their rights if it were normal i drew a line to maturity for idea actually and that's that's extremely concerning that you know then kicks off a diagnostic process where teachers don't diagnose a.d.h. day or prescribe medication but studies show and most cases teaches other first to suggest a child has the disorder and that label can obscure other issues things like being

the youngest in class things not being sleep or things like being a leader of the and you know some children are just naturally impulsive in hama and active and we need to have guided tolerance for that now i'm not suggesting some of these children don't have problems like doing that giving them a life like id actually stops dr missions and parents and teachers looking for the real coup. they rely on the one causing these problems and recently. gone down live and let's be honest the diving amphetamine research to say delaying the age at which a child starts school isn't the answer as another child would then become the youngest and potentially suffer instead they advise teaches and clinicians to be more cautious when assessing a child and the parents who know their children best to trust their instincts while let's get more on this now we're joined by joanna moncrief reader at

university college london and also the author of the report and she's joining us from essex very good to have you with us on al-jazeera i know that these findings will resonate with many parents and teachers you know how to properly assess meet the needs of children in the classroom r a d h d cases on the rise at least partly because it is being misdiagnosed well as they are i think this study shows that he is being misdiagnosed in certain cases or at least that the diagnosis can be applied to all sorts of ordinary behaviors that may be normal or the age bracket the child was in. but are identified as being abnormal because they're in a school year in which they're relatively young and how do you so how do you then improve the diagnostic process given that there isn't. that you can't you know it's not something that you can test for chemically. well i think i think clinicians and

teachers just need to be aware of this need to have it never mind that the the suppose that criteria to a.d.h. they are very broad are very nonspecific and may include normal variations in behavior and normal age related immaturity and just be much more cautious about applying the label because as we know you know that label it is a label that a child has for life and has got to do so with then non-drug tree and so does the criteria itself need to change if it is too broad and. not specific enough well this is a problem across mental health diagnoses all the criteria are often nonspecific there about behaviors that may be normal in one context but not normal in another context and therefore whether or not there is the diagnosis is always a very subjective judgement so i don't think i don't think changing the criteria

will necessarily help i think well there needs to be is a greater awareness that the criteria are always subjective and that they need to be approached very cautiously and seems that what they are that is just a label for a certain set of behaviors. moncrief it is great to get your insights on this that is joanna moncrief joining us live from ethics thank you you thank. now you know the saying like father like son or joe is going to tell us how that applies to most racing jobson lately liz yes well michael schumacher son is following in his dad's footsteps nineteen year old make sure america has won his first major motor sport title the german clinched the formula three european championship with a race to spare as he placed second of his home race in whole can harm the teenager took eight victories on his way to the title this season in his debut season last year he finished twelfth his father michael won seven formula one world

championships mick was just fourteen when michael suffered a head injury in a ski accident from which he has yet to recover. well it's a lot i mean it means everything. to me on this because it's the first real championship that i've won and i have fun with a lot of hard work to say sitting behind it and a lot of hard work not only for myself but really the most where it came from the team in really just grateful for what they've done all season long for me and. i just happy that i'm able to to be here and really live the moment. when she might have to wait until sunday when the racing at hockenheim was over to finally get his hands on the championship trophy. so he was mixed tweet he said he was living the dream and thanked the strong team that was behind him two thousand and sixteen f one champion nico rosberg who was michael schumacher teammate in the sadie's for

three seasons congratulated his fellow countryman in german philippe massa who partnered with chirac a senior at ferrari in two thousand and six writes hope to see you in f one soon for show your dad and your family a very proud of you and this image is also been liked a lot on instagram it reportedly shows a young mc she macca watching his father in the for a carriage around about the time that michael was winning his fifth full six six zero seven championship a mic must have been around for years old well for years formula three has been a breeding ground for some of the best drivers in history including six foreman one world champions the current champion lewis hamilton won the european f three title back in two thousand and five and it certainly done him no harm harm he's closing in on his fifth f one title make she reckons that michael is the most successful driver in history with seven f one titles he was the german f three champion in one nine hundred ninety in the same year the flying finmeccanica in and won the british

f three title and he went on to win back to back f one championships in ninety eight and ninety nine brazil's legend and senna who many consider to be the most talented ever why. in the british f three title way back in one nine hundred eighty three and his greatest rival prost had a fantastic breakthrough year in one nine hundred seventy nine when he came both the french and european titles finally another brazilian nelson piquet he won the one nine hundred seventy eight british f three title before going on to claim three for win a one championships mark gallagher is a former f one executive having worked at jordan red bull racing and cosworth teams and joins me now live from oxford sure mark is mick as good at it as his father can ever be well as you've just catalogued he's joining a very long list of drivers you warm at this level you know formula three championship is the correct one to to be showing your credentials and he certainly

has done that and i think this is an extremely important moment there for in the career of young mick schumacher he's really proving himself on the international stage and it's an outstanding achievement there have been so many young men who have followed in the footsteps of their f one fathers some of them better than others this is a case of nature nurture is the talent inherited or are they just getting more a better opportunities than you or i would. i think the reality is that they are growing up in an environment of racing and i think that that really helps them although if you talk to damon hill who won the formula one world championship and he was the son of a former world champion graham hill damon would actually say that being the son of a super successful formula one driver can also be a hindrance because you get so much expectation loaded on your shoulders and there have been a lot of drivers down the years who have not lived up to the expectations perhaps

piled upon them just because they happen to be the son or daughter of a highly successful racing driver so i think it makes a case he's delivering and this year started quite slowly he didn't have a very strong start of the season but my word he made up for it and i think now that he's clinched this title it really gives a seal of approval on his talent and capabilities and i think we'll all be watching now to see where he goes next because certainly he's on the right trajectory to get to formula one a lot of drivers have won three titles but only six of them have gone on to win formula one well titles what's what do you need to be able to make that jump from f three to f one. well of course the first thing to say is formula one is a highly expensive sport and so you need to have the right management around you need sponsorship support for in a lot of cases in order to make the jump into formula one and i think again in this instance mick is in the for church's position that because he is

a son of michael he already has an incredibly strong management team around him so being came who was michael's manager is looking after mick she knows the sport inside out she has a formidable network so i think in terms of putting the right deals together he's got the right management support and he's got a formidable amount of support from people generally within the industry because all of us who are fortunate enough to work with michael or to compete against him recognize what a phenomenal talent he was and of course the tragedy that occurred in twenty thirteen without skiing accident you know has been a very tough time for that family i think the fact that mick has emerged such a fine young man you know multi-talented multilingual able to deliver this european championship title this year says a lot about him says a lot about the family and the support he's got no i think you know this next step to formula one should evolve over the next two or three years i'm confident we will see mike mccue marker in formula one in due course. not ballack either from
