i'm phil gail welcome to the program. a gunman in the united states city of las vegas has killed at least fifty eight people and injured more than five hundred police have confirmed that the suspect a sixty eight year old a white man from nevada is also dead in an apparent suicide the shooting happened on the famous las vegas strip nantucket had checked into the mountain late by her talent casino and began firing on an outdoor concert from the thirty second floor police of rolled out connections to international terror. this was the moment when music turned to gunfire. moments before it was just another vegas evening the crowd had been enjoying a country music festival. now they were running for their lives.

as hysteria broke out the shooter continued his rampage. people at the scene described the horror they witnessed. we refused to believe it was the shooting until they just kept going and going and then. the stage and then everybody started firing and we started firing we had to have a gate to get out. it was crazy i'd never seen anything like that we kept shooting and shooting and shooting and we thought it was on the other side we just thought it was maybe played machine guns but it definitely wasn't our fire guns. and it sounded like at least thirty rounds or more donald trump offered his quote warmest condolences to the victims and their families my fellow americans. we are joined together today in sadness shock and grief. last

night a gunman opened fire on a large crowd at a country music concert in las vegas nevada he brutally murdered more than fifty people and wounded hundreds more it was an act of pure evil. police rushed to the scene of the attack at the mandalay bay hotel and casino where the perpetrator had checked in as a guest from the thirty second floor he began shooting indiscriminately at concert goers outside an hour later police confirmed his death. we located numerous firearms within the room that he occupied and that's it like i stated earlier it's going to be of long and tedious investigation now we're bringing in all the resources of the f.b.i.

to assist us in this investigation authorities say they believe the attacker a sixty four year old local white man was acting alone. the incident is now the worst mass shooting in modern u.s. history. let's get more from. us correspondent colleen chinmoy in washington welcome carolyn to tell us more about what president trump has had to say. before i start talking about president philip me talk about the reactions here in this sea and the responses that have been very human from all sides from both parties expressing condolences and victims to victims' families but the comments coming from democrats are also getting more and more political democrat senator booker for example said it is not enough to ask how could someone do this we must also ask ourselves how can we prevent something like this from happening again that's what

a book or set this comic clearly addresses to more regulation regarding the gun laws in nevada out so he will recreate it in a more political way saying that people should stand that the national rifle association a powerful gun lobby. there's a strong reaction a strong comment also from gabrielle giffords that's a democrat in the house of representatives for presenting arizona as she was shot in two thousand and eleven and get. a shot in the had by lone gunmen who killed six people in that year and since then she has become an advocate for anti gun violence causes on her tweet she says persian person should in view or the horror less vegas experienced last night the republicans on the other side are not showing political reactions on the massacre in last vegas in this sense we have also seen of course condo lances addressing the families and victims for example vice

president pence who wrote his condolences to the victims and families affected by this senseless violence act unless they guess but that this curse is quite different than the one coming from democrats now trump he has ordered flags to be flown at half staff staff he has expressed his condolences to but he had not said a word about the gun laws in the united states or in nevada it is very important to remark that republicans traditionally have a very good relation a very good link to the national rifle association and their powerful lobby always telling the truth boy walking to thank you. so they shooting has rekindled memories of previous my shootings and reignited the debate about gun control when from a social media desk story welcome. it's a horrible list when we when we when you look at those recent shootings charles in

orlando somebody that when sandy hook too familiar in the us is becoming familiar with the debate surrounding the aftermath of these shootings is also familiar over gun control nothing really has changed already people on social media rehashing this debate about whether there should be stronger gun control in the u.s. including as we've heard many politicians now taking to social media let's show you a few of those responses already coming in on line we can start off here with some strong words from chris murphy he's a senator representing connecticut where the sandy hook school shooting took place here's what he writes he says this must stop america is the only place where horrific mass shootings happen with this degree of regularity the thoughts and prayers of politicians ringing cruelly hollow if they are not paired with action it's time for congress to get off its rear end and do something you know on the other side this is a passionate debate of the pro gun advocates and they say politicians shouldn't be

using this massacre for political gains to advance legislation this is laura ingram she's a conservative com commentator and she says all victims bodies still not recovered and hillary clinton joe biden elizabeth warren kick into typical anti-gun stance it's gross she writes the national rifle association they are the biggest gun lobbying group in the world in the u.s. but they've been quite silent today take a look this is their twitter page that actually have not updated it since last friday. social media is increasingly important to tragedies like this we have so many people going to places like facebook for example for the news of breaking news after the sort of tragedy and today you know facebook just wasn't a very reliable source of news take a look at what we mean here this is their dedicated page for their so-called safety check where you can check in and let people know you're safe it also has a news feed there and it's really bringing up some pretty dubious news sources for example this is just one obscure blog that came up it's called all to rights news

it's pushing wild conspiracy theories this is really not the website that you want to turn up if you're looking for the latest news on the shooting and unfortunately see this really just too often with these sorts of incidents fake news spreading on social media including today trying to link the shooting already to islamic extremism this was a rumor that the shooter was a thirty two year old islam converts and that of course as we know is completely false someone stealing the image of a you tube comedian there are other rumors of multiple shooters at other casinos are also likely debunked by authorities in fact the las vegas police department doing a great job today on twitter doing that so you have the good side and the bad side of social media after these sorts of incidents. media coalesce with fact you. have a second look at some of the other stories making news around the world the russian courts sentence the opposition leader and the valet to twenty days in jail for

organizing illegal public meetings he was arrested on friday after this rally in the city of all of the valley intends to run for president against vladimir putin in next year's election. at least sixteen people have been killed in a triple bombing at a police station in the syrian capital damascus a car bomb exploded and two suicide bombers blew themselves up outside the building the country's interior minister said another attack i got inside before being shot by police damascus has seen relatively little violence in syria's five years of meaning. police in nairobi have used tear gas to disperse protesters who are calling for the monitoring of kenya's election board opposition supporters blame the u.-boat for the botched election in august president kenyatta blames the supreme court which voided the vote results citing irregularities service for the current tensions could boil over into ethnic violence. catalonia as regional government is calling for international mediation and it's bad for independence

from spain this after a disputed referendum on sunday was marred by violence as police tried to prevent voters from casting ballots regional leaders say ninety percent voted for independence but critics say the results cannot be representative since opponents refused to participate but read has also dismissed the referendum as illegal and invalid. supporters of cattle and separatism were out in force again today providing a powerful backdrop for the demands of their regional leader. but despite the mood of defiance in barcelona he opened the door to deescalation. a woman can say you know my views you know what i'm now recommending is mediation. and that mediation requires the presence of a third party. i think that on this you know that party needs to be international for this to be an effective process this is important to restore the institutional

normality which has been disturbed by disproportionate decisions from spain central government. it's also important to end police violence and the limitation of our liberty and also to create a climate of less tension for such a process of mediation that. some days violence was splashed across the morning papers as people caught up with events that could change the makeup of the country some cattle lands are outraged by police tactics others expressing reservations about leaving spain. i'm of the opinion that this referendum wasn't managed the way it should have been there may have been other ways so that we all would be happier with the results part of us catalans i believe and not happy with the result of the referendum. that. just. yesterday was terrible people like me i'm seventy years old i experienced

a dictatorship under franco and this is the same. there see you know i mean a lot of. spanish police used heavy handed tactics on sunday to disrupt a vote the country's supremes court has ruled unconstitutional central government in madrid has come under fire for its use of police force cattle an authority saying over eight hundred people were injured there now setting up a special commission to investigate claims of abuse. has got the wider european view from data of your correspondent a bar of a souls and brussels a welcome the european parliament to scald a special catalonia crisis debate why is it involving itself in spain's domestic politics. because of course after the pictures we saw yesterday from barcelona many members of parliament feel that there but there was too much violence that there was an overreaction by the government in madrid probably the totally wrong reaction

and of course we have some left wing left wing parliamentarians who say this was really against democracy and human rights we just heard from the president of the european council that's the governments in europe done to us that he talked to mommy i know how hard it is spanish prime minister and obviously voiced his concerns and he said that he shared the constitutional concerns are far higher about the legality of the referendum however he hoped that there would be no further escalation and no further violence and very similar things we heard earlier from the european commission here in brussels their friend was and remains illegal however let's listen to what spokesman margaret does sheena's had to say to the violence we call on all relevant players to know move very swiftly from confrontation to dialogue.

violence can never be an instrument in politics. so beyond talking barbara votes or what can be a you do. nothing simply because as opposed to popular opinion the european union is not this supra national organisation that can sort of interfere in the in the sort of inner affairs of its member states it simply doesn't have that power it can offer itself as a mediator and it has behind the scenes obviously try to mediate it during the last weeks to no avail and there was some hand-wringing here in brussels about the course of mariano or why because many people thought that he played into the hands of the independent independence movement however it can't do much more than say we are concerned we are worried this is not going a good way and you should sort of take a different course barbara hazel in brussels thank you. well if you politicians are

spooked investors by the recent events in catalonia christophe code can tell us more that is right for all indeed stocks retreated and spanish borrowing costs went up as investors are trying to evaluate the political consequences of the catalonian independence vote after sunday's brutal scenes confidence and prime minister mario government has certainly taken a hit and worries about europe's fifth largest economy are growing. by the close of monday session on the madrid stock exchange the country's benchmark index had dropped one and a half percent wiping out gains made over the previous week many traders fear that uncertainty over the fate of catalonia will lead to further declines in this climate vestas buying spanish government bonds may want higher yields which up one point seven percent on ten year bonds the highest in many months the common european currency also fell slightly the euro has fallen below one dollar eighteen

cents losing nearly a cent. from god we've just overcome the euro crisis so calls for independence are certainly not going over well with the e.u. has a big task ahead of it it will have to mediate but it's clear there were ninety percent of the people want freedom that cannot simply be ignored. if catalonia gained independence or spain would lose its industrial heartland the region accounts for a fifth of the country's economic power say at casa g. the region is also important in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors without catalonia spain would slip to fifteenth place in the world ranking of the strongest economic countries behind mexico spain has been on a successful path to recovery following its debt crisis a few years ago but catalonian independence would knock spain off course. british authorities are calling it the biggest ever peacetime repatriation more than

a hundred thousand travelers are looking for a way to return home after britain's monarch airlines collapsed on monday the civil aviation authority said it has leased thirty aircraft to transport customers scattered around holiday destinations ranging from turkey to spain and sweden citing intense competition and a weaker pound monarch is the third european airline making a financial crash landing this year. it was a familiar sight at british airports for fifty years but that changed overnight the demise of monarch airlines was announced in an early morning online message from britain's civil aviation north already passengers were left without a flight home most of them stranded at destinations in the mediterranean the government is vowing to bring them home in what it calls the country's biggest ever peacetime repatriation we expect the vast vast majority of one hundred ten thousand monarch passengers who are currently on holiday with monarch. to come back to the

u.k. within the next two weeks that that's exactly what is expected. britain's fifth biggest airline had struggled with losses but had hoped to turn things around with orders for boeing's latest seven three seven planes and a cost cutting program. bankruptcy rumors swirled last year but then monarch was able to draw a new line of credit but now that's gone and so is the airline with the decision really was a result of continued losses loss has been sustained for quite some time forecast to continue mainly as a result of prices in the market overcapacity in the short haul market has meant pace have been depressed for some time in britain's transport minister says other airlines have plans to quickly hire monarch's staff but that's little consolation for the three hundred thousand people who held tickets to fly on monarch they won't be going anywhere. south carolina is trump country yet people there oppose the u.s. president's ideas on trade why i'll tell you in

a bit from now back to you phil christoph thank you. the death toll and separatist violence in cameroon has risen to at least seventeen dozens more people have been reported to wounded the clashes broke out on sunday between protesters and security forces in the country's english speaking regions some of the dead are reported to be children english speaking activists are calling for independence from the french speaking part of the country they say they are discriminated against by the french speaking majority human rights watchdog amnesty international says the situation has now reached a crisis point. with a w correspondent mark akin seka joins us on the line from the outskirts of banda in cameroons english speaking region it was one of the centers of this weekend's violence welcome has there been more violence today. yes we've been having c.d.'s of violence today many because of the governor of the northwest

region of cameroon and mouse and the poles but nobody should move out of their houses and they said no people should move in groups of modern three thirty provinces and their b.s. that is that agree out of their houses and unfortunately met will resist terms from the faults of law and order from the military that are being deployed almost all the quarters of the northwest region of assorted thousand of them all of it. and difference was what it was with so many people arrested so many to what we've seen and so many to were harassed by completing the aroused by force of law and order by the bigotry sort of balance did not and it has escalated in that by the sickening the military that. it will heed to people from forty years ago which means that the parents are quite topples so as the violence being directed at police or the

different people fighting other people with the police in the middle. no not really tighten the police because the military using the military copters which is one of my second chances are used to me situation of war where you think movies make up that to fight him is one of material probably parlance that is collegiate people to have decided to use you remember last week some of the activists used locally made bombs to fight back to attack the police so today they were using a locally made comes to also with police department is really escalating it is true there are some villages where there's some violence yet where people have left people are fled to get french speaking regions so in the towns of if not worse than what's written there is steve allen well look you can say thank you so much

the west african country of ivory coast is still recovering from a civil war that ended lasted a decade ago the conflict left the country judicial system a lawyer for smith in disarray with corruption in the police force right now a new generation of i for eons is trying to modernize and restore people's trust in police t.w. has been following one officer on the start of his career and crime scene investigation. at the ivorian institute of forensic science kevin is learning how to match a projectile to a corresponding weapon becoming a crime scene investigator or c.s.i. will be a dream come true for the young ivorian he and his friends knew about this profession only from t.v. crime shows that. not only survive i tell my friends about police work especially forensic science and they're surprised that such a thing exists in ivory coast. they often ask me is it like on television can you

do what they do on t.v. . you have to study this field to fully understand it all very much don't you see that. the image of the police in ivory coast has been tarnished as elsewhere in africa ivory and police are seen as corrupt and untrustworthy especially after the civil war the forensic lab in abidjan makes work easier for the police and helps increase transparency they have to be able to handle evidence expertly to inspire public confidence in their work that means it's up to the new generation to give the institution a new positive image going to people who are on the city for us to work with and sure therefore we're trying to show the young trainees highly important it is that the humidity they serve appreciates and that's always the most korsakoff it's important to build trust in the community so that the police can work well with everyone. on ponsonby knows i'm going to go so it's not. until recently it was

common in ivory coast for people to take the law into their own hands on average there's just one policeman for every thirteen hundred people authorities hope that will change with an investment in new criminal technology together with german support at the lab these detectives learn how to take fingerprints. kevin got on and his fellow trainees face a big. being a police officer is a dangerous job in ivory coast the country has been awash in weapons ever since the first civil war broke out in two thousand and two the crime rate is high and mob justice is widespread got on wants to be part of a positive change. first. i am part of the justice system and i believe that peace and justice go hand in hand if i work well as a policeman people will not be frustrated your frustration causes problems so there

will be fewer problems if people are not frustrated with. the first three months at the police academy consist of basic military training got on has fond memories of his own time there. i am very happy for them because it's not easy to find a professional job like ours and work from an office i'm really happy for them and just a bit nostalgic. it's been a long road for kevin got on he hopes that many in his generation will join the police force more than anything he says he wants to promote justice in his homeland . of feb thirteenth kim jong nam of a strange half brother of north korea's leader kim jong un was killed in the middle of kuala lumpur airport he was poisoned the trial of the two women accused of his murder began today in malaysia the suspects were brought into court amid tight

security as expected they pleaded not guilty to the attack with a deadly nerve agent saying that they had been tricked into believing they were part of a prank for a reality t.v. show if convicted they could face the death penalty. this is d.w. needers still to come the palestinians on the road to reconciliation we'll take you live to gaza where rival factions are seeking calling the ground. we'll have a vast and up more of the day south world hears from me on the day's business news from crystal cobra in just a minute. life in black. without real freedom. and that is the life of the woman in saudi arabia. those some restrictions have been.

the best struggle of saudi women for gender equality and. the secret revolution. in forty five minutes on d w. hijacking the news. where i come from the news is being hijacked journalism itself has become a scripted reality show it's not just good versus evil us versus them black and white. in countries like russia china turkey people are told it's that stuff and if you're a journalist there and you try to get beyond that you are facing scare tactics intimidation. and i wonder is that where we're headed as well. my responsibility as a journalist is to get beyond the smoking mirrors it's not just about being fair

and balanced or being neutral it's about being true. when he was born golf and i work in the double. physics. medicine. chemistry. economic sign says. things. well the way that twenty seventeen nobel prizes. you will follow in the footsteps of the greatest minds off our time. the nobel prize is twenty seventeen. this week twenty detainees. this is d w news live from berlin i'm phil gayla top story this hour a gunman has opened fire on a country music festival in las vegas killing at least fifty eight people and wounding more than five hundred sixty eight year old suspect as amongst that

speaking to the president speaking to the nation president of trouble called the attack an act of pure evil. to the middle east now what a new push to end they complete between rival palestinian groups fatah and hamas has begun. earlier today they promised it in authority prime minister rabin. dalla and other fatter officials but a rare trip into the gaza strip toward the territory head of talks with hamas leaders hamas has ruled the gaza strip since it broke with in two thousand and seven the faster dominated the palestinian authority runs palestinian territories in the west bank the two sides for to short civil war in gaza after the hamas takeover since then repeated attempts to reconcile the two groups have failed the u.s. and e.u. list hamas as a terror organization israel and egypt have blockaded the gaza strip sporters an increasingly desperate economic situation in gaza and electricity shortage and lack of clean water forced habits to reach out to egypt but in return for help cairo has

urged hamas to resolve the rift with fatah after talks brokered by egypt to two weeks ago hamas leader ish mile honey or that they would agree to hand over control of gaza to a unity government led by president mahmoud abbas. d.w. said tanya is in gaza city joins us on the line now welcome tanya you've been talking to people in gaza what are they expecting from this visit. well in terms of i mean the delegation from armando received a very warm and then yeah it was a most people month two young people had come to the crossing where the convoy passed through and if you think that i talked to over the past days you know they want to be optimistic after having been disappointed so many come. previously conservation have failed over the park and yes it's very important to see for them practical steps being taken robert sooner than later i talk to some of them on the

streets let's have a look. i want the government to help the people to create job opportunities and i want the border crossing to be opened and the restrictions to be lifted on goods being imported to gaza. the government of mahmoud abbas is most welcome here but after eleven years problems have piled up that can't be solved overnight. the government can't perform magic the issues need to be discussed and we understand that will take time. in the list of things have to work out this time as a police teenie and i see this as our last chance there's a complete loss of trust between the two sides and that makes me feel that this really is the last chance. the crime of the prime minister of the palestinian

authority around me having received a hero's welcome when he arrived in gaza why was his visit so significant. so i think it is significant some of people here because it seems that this time all sides have their own interest to start a dialogue and the situation has been particularly really didn't go over the past couple of months i mean the mediation work done by there's also believe that the international community at least at the moment no longer has to be conservation with which is considered a terrorist group by the international community now people here understand that this is just the beginning and it's a very long process with a lot of difficult issues so what sort of outcome people expecting. well i mean as we understand they will look at the first cabinet meeting we had to say you will be followed then again by meeting in cairo in egypt next week to start a dialogue actually now on the part of the policy not sorry. they want to make sure

that there are no obstacles tried now in this state to take the full of say over the ministries in this situation and does alone is a major task in itself merging the two administrations between the gaza strip and the west bank on the part of hamas they want to see that the posting of can first of all the measures that have been taken in the past month by quoting back payments called electricity and this could be very crucial now in going forward but as i said a lot of difficult issues like security the control of border issue of the militants need to be discussed and people also want to understand what is the timetable for this conference tony crime in gaza thank you. now why do we feel awake during the day and sleep at night apparently it's down to your body's in a clock your psyche the rhythms and it turns out your security and rhythms are crucial to your well being so much so they people who discovered their importance

of not being awarded the nobel prize for medicine american scientists jeffrey hall michael ross and michael young the nobel committee said they helped discover how disrupting your sleep can have a major impact on your behavior and body function speaking in new york michael young described his shock when he found out he. i really had trouble even getting my shoes on this morning. you know i'd go and i'd pick ups the shoes and then i'd realize i need the socks and i didn't realize that he put my pants on first. but. you know you get here and see all this and i guess you realize it must be true ok let's talk about this with our science correspondent derrick williams welcome derrick first thing this work is decades old so why they just getting the award now well it's actually not really surprising that the nobel prizes are there for the science prizes are there for to show to honor work that was done that has really

altered and changed sort of the whole geography and topography of a scientific field and that's exactly what this kind of work has done there's been of course a lot of newer sexier science that's been done since the one nine hundred seventy s. in the one nine hundred eighty s. but this is really this kind of research provided the foundations and the fundamentals that that later science was based on and so that's why they decided to take you to these research so it doesn't have to be just a nobel prizes they don't have to be this year's stuff it's just someone looks and say you know what that was really really important because without that we could have done this that's generally actually the cause tell us then about the kadian rhythms explain to us what the scientists did well i can't do it briefly but we did put together a little piece that i think will wrap it up for you. in the modern world our lives are dictated by clocks today's megacities are open twenty four seventh's but there's a problem our bodies don't want to play along everyone has an inner clock that

regulates critical functions including behavior hormone levels sleep and metabolism . we ignore our inner clock and our peril it can affect our moods memory and even increase our risk of contracting a range of diseases. but how does this in our clock actually work that was a question answered by geoffrey hall michael ross bosh and michael young back in the one nine hundred seventy s. and eighty's working with fruit flies they isolated the genes and process is that drive those insects in our clocks and it soon became clear that those mechanisms work the same way in humans the prize winning research laid the foundations for the modern discipline of chronobiology the science of biological rhythms thanks to them we're now able to recognise the dangers of disrupting our inner clock. so why is that so important. well it's important we as medicine has discovered that violating

the inner clock is actually really can be really really bad for you those of us journalist for example who work and doing shift work it raises your blood pressure it changes your metabolism it actually can cause you to have cardiovascular disease and so it can be a very very dangerous thing to pursue if you do it for too long and so it's a source of possible disease and infection and that's why. nobel said that his his prizes were to be given for for work that conferred the greatest amount of good to mankind and this kind of fundamental work is done that it's possibly saved millions of lives but david williams thank you so much. south carolina is trump country yet people that don't support his push for import to import tariffs christof koch is about to tell us why. and the reason and one word of jobs for example more than eight thousand u.s.

workers assemble vehicles for b.m.w. in spartanburg south carolina the german carmaker is one of more than five hundred foreign companies doing business in the area many locals are glad that foreign investors have helped revive the once ailing region so few people there understand the president trump has threatened those companies with punitive tariffs if they import components manufactured abroad. joel pretty more is determined to reach the top. he's already being paid for going to school by b.m.w. and when he graduates that's where he'll start working. joel's grandparents worked for the textile industry in badly paid jobs something which is unimaginable for joe the production technology that came after the fall of the textile sector attracted him thirty years ago his hometown was desolate then international firms came to the

rescue joel will work as hard as his grandparents but the rewards will probably be better. i look at it is like not only as an opportunity but you know i love the way that you know everything's kind of moving and you just program news does what you tell it and it's just it was also. there are now five hundred foreign firms in the region many offer tailor made apprenticeships through the local technical college and that's a boost for the region when b.m.w. came into our area twenty five plus years ago that was the eye opener if you would say just saying you know if we do work work together and go after organizations or companies like that we can we can we can retain them and get them into our area. people here are proud of all the foreign investors who've helped to get the region back on its feet south carolina is a strictly republican state this is trump country yet almost no one here

understands why the president has picked on carmakers for higher import tariffs on the components they sourced from outside the country. the southern states are courting foreign investors it helps that there aren't workers unions here but if costs of imported components increase that could be a deal killer and local jobs would be in jeopardy. i believe the whole quote is as a sign to mr churchill it said an american dream. always do the right thing after they've tried everything else so sometimes we have to stumble around in these issues before we get to the right formula but i believe we will get to the right formula b.m.w. doesn't just make cars in spartanburg it's also introduced germany's two track vocational training scheme which keeps companies of all sizes supplied with skilled workers this gives joel a chance to get hands on experience while still in tech school and earn money at

the same time joel was born here in spartanburg he became a soldier as a way out when the city seemed to have no future since then the area is being reborn new cafes are opening it's becoming a nicer place to live the inner city is profiting from the boom and its suburbs. egypt has experienced a dramatic collapse and tourist numbers due to political instability and terrorist attacks but now visitors are slowly coming back part of the reason might be that europeans are finding it increasingly difficult to find safe places in the sun to spend their holidays turkey for example is currently experiencing a huge decline in tourists from germany so egypt is now back on their list. egypt ancient pyramids gradually becoming more popular with tourists again visitors from around the world are also returning to the other historical sites in egypt as well as the beaches many of these holiday makers are from germany or other european

countries and china rediscovering egypt in two thousand and ten the country had just shy of fifteen million visitors when the decline began thanks to political unrest and terrorist attacks visitor numbers dropped rapidly in two thousand and sixteen they were just four and a half million. this year the government estimates the country will welcome eight million guests that's twice the number they had last year that's a blessing for the egyptian economy which relies on tourism four million people work directly in the tourist sector another four million are indirectly employed and sales have plummeted the fact that the local currency is weak means holidays in egypt good value tourism authorities hope that this will also speed recovery of the business car make any sense says it plans to recall one point two million cars sold in japan over the past three years after discovering

the vehicles had not been subject to final checks reinspected patients are expected to cost car makers two hundred million dollars the cars affected were produced for the domestic market between october twenty four thousand and september twenty seventeen sales of at least sixty thousand vehicles including note cube and leave models have been suspended the sun shares fell over five percent on the news. the russian telecoms company trans telecom has installed a new internet connection for north korea that's according to a report from the u.s. korea institute in baltimore and said the new link went online on sunday korea normally relies on a data route via china but beijing is threatening to boycott the country over its nuclear tests so the report says pyongyang is looking to reduce its reliance on its neighbor few people have access to the internet in north korea but the army's cyber warfare unit is thought to have one better connections france telecom is a siddur

buffs all kinds of people from all walks of life should be excited about it because it's such an important building in berlin for berlin it has a really fascinating history it was commissioned by frederick the great in seven hundred forty two so it's really old it used to be the royal opera house now it's the staatsoper the state opera but it's been through so much it's been through it's burned down it's been through bombing in world war two and each time it's risen from the ashes and in twenty ten they decided that it needed some major refurbishing and so they went about raising the ceiling which is quite unique to let the sounds travel better and that's just what they did i suggest we look at some images. this time it's all put on today lyndon first opened its doors two hundred seventy five years ago it's already undergone several of the holes and now it's about to reopen again the race for the all important last minute touches is the one.

artistic director daniel barenboim has been waiting seven years for this moment. the white secondary to the all important acoustic. well i was amazed because it all sounded so wonderful and for my ears really the acoustics are ideal acoustics of your. longtime clarinetist in the house mathias calander puts the acoustics to the test. if stalin or i'm amazed at how big the room is now. how generous the space is all. it's a fantastic theater with we've already had rehearsals and the acoustics are vastly improved and. the start of paul was commissioned by friedrich the great. it's also being graced by the likes of felix mendelssohn both older retired wagner and

since nine hundred ninety two the contemporary great daniel barenboim the reconstruction has had problems it's the longest and most expensive overhaul in the operas history and it's still not complete the barenboim it's the big picture that counts. we want to continue to be an institution that makes an important contribution. not only for berlin not only for germany but also for europe. staatsoper lyndon op holding a centuries old tradition for excellence in music. but well done that was funny reopening but that it's closing yes well we have to take that with a grain of salt let's look at things in perspective germany we've got some incredible

contemporary buildings but we have a tendency to not deliver on schedule and on budget let's look at berlin airport we're still waiting for that to happen. in hamburg have you been it's also taken way longer than it needed to and it cost so much more same four staatsoper here they had to budget almost twice as much money and it took them three years longer so they just want to make sure that tomorrow on the national holiday the german day of unification it had its doors open and it is going to have its doors open in fact it already started this past weekend they had a major open air concert on the street there are some lovely images we have with people celebrating the sun was out it was just a great day and star conductor daniel barenboim was conducting beethoven. it was just so many thousands of people from all over berlin descending onto the square in front of the building and so it's

a great week for the building but they were going to have to hit the snooze button again for just two months on december seventh it opens for good i promise it's closing again watch just finish the renovations yes it's a technical things they're going to bring it up to state of the art so lots of money gone on to this one of the main changes the ceiling ceiling is the main attraction they've raised this thing by a third to allow the sound to travel better and if you look at the pictures it's got this intricate web design that's lovely to look at. well i think major engineering works there as well they also added an underground tunnel to the building and that is mainly to the benefit of the artists there it connects the backstage area and the stage so they're going to enjoy that but i'm guessing you don't have to have a look for yourself as well so if i phrase it by thirds i mean the football states as well know the same number of seats in the same roof it's all about the you can

sticks well of course it would be so. even though it's going to close soon there's going to be more on the show tomorrow yes my colleague will be here and he'll be telling you what he's been up to he's checking out whether germany is an opera nation ok well i should. probably yes if i got to spend all that money on the opera house for now though thank you so much such a sun the sun all right about up to date and we'll have more for you at the top of the hour in the meantime of course as always the web site that's d.w. don't have a good. without
