this is d w news live from berlin of peace award for increasingly dangerous time. the nobel judges chose i can as the risk of atomic warfare breaking out prizes for the first time in a generation. also coming up catalonia government says its president carlos freedom

all will address the regional parliament on tuesday that's after spain's highest court barred catalan lawmakers from meeting on monday to debate the region's independence day. and some is almost gone to thank you for joining us now a committee in oss low has awarded the two thousand and seventeen nobel peace prize to the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons also known as i can the nobel committee weighed up nominations for two hundred fifteen of individuals and one hundred three organizations in the end they chose icann for reviving efforts to prohibit nuclear weapons at a time of renewed global tension. price is a tribute to everyone everybody working for disarmament we have focused on i can because we feel the norwegian nobel committee that they have

taken a leading role in really vital nice seeing this process and they have managed in. admirable manner to combine. a popular engagement almost becoming a grassroots movement while the executive director for icann said group was overjoyed at the award from the nobel committee it's in such a important signal to everyone who's worked tirelessly for nuclear disarmament for since nine hundred forty five pretty much it's a huge tribute to the survivors of nuclear nations. in japan and also the nuclear test victims in martial law and external. states around the world. so it's a really it's an issue that doesn't get enough attention. and i think that this crisis just really make it worth all of those.

years that people have spent working on this. well let's get some reaction to the announcement with dan smith he's the director of the stockholm international peace research institute dan thank you for joining us your first thoughts when you heard i can one. i think it's a very appropriate choice i really do i was thinking before hand. holds that the committee would decide to direct attention towards their weapons issue because it has been rising up the political agenda this year in a way that we haven't seen for decades really because people are beginning to feel where of increasing nuclear risk and i think that they have done it look committee that is have done it rather cleverly by pointing to a groove to a campaign which is imagining a nuclear free world and that imagining an alternative to the risks that we see today so i think i think going to be congratulated on their choice and i can is to

be congratulated as a very worthy recipient it's down i can as a campaign is it have its imagining a nuclear free world at the same time none of the nine known nuclear powers have signed up to a nuclear weapons ban in that sense what has this organization achieved. well i think first of all over cheve the nuclear weapons ban is there on the political agenda and that's true as you say that none of the nine nuclear weapon states nor many of those are three example the nato states have not signed up to it but over one hundred twenty governments worldwide have indicated their support for the treaty when it was drafted and they're now considering their signatures and their benchmark adherence to the treaty so i think that is a pretty big shift and i think what's worth emphasizing is that the the campaign and the ban treaty and the peace prize award are all encouraging at least five of those nine nuclear weapon states the. five permanent members of the u.n.

security council to do what they have signed up to do because under article six of the nonproliferation treaty from one thousand nine hundred seventy nearly half a century ago they are committed to achieving you can there's some and they've gone some way towards that and there are a few nuclear weapons today than there were in the end of the cold war but there's still fifteen thousand warheads left in the world so there's a lot of work for those weapons states to do and encouraging governments to do what they will probably already promised to do seems to me pretty common sensical thing to go for and in practical terms do you think this award for i can well boost to now or give new impetus to these efforts internationally to achieve a nuclear ban. yes i do think so i don't know that this will be the thing which finally generates success for that for them for their campaign but i think it must push the conversation forward and give it more profile you know after all when

is it that the first item on news reports around the world has been discussing the proposition to create a nuclear free world so that. it's already achieving that effect of greater coverage and greater consciousness right dan smith the director of the stockholm international peace research institute thank you very much for joining us. and we'll have more on the winners of this year's nobel peace prize from our social media team that's coming up a little bit later in the show moving on now to our other top story of the spanish government has issued an apology over a violent police crackdown during catalonia as an authorized independence referendum on sunday some eight hundred people were injured in clashes with police spain's representative in northeast catalonia said he apologized on behalf of the officers that used force to deter voters and a spokesman for the central government also struck a more conciliatory tone in a statement today listen it growth will result in most we all know that the

security forces were carrying out the judge's order to prevent a vote that was the legal. they were acting because the local police had failed to do so. they went in to prevent voting and not to target voters he said if you don't buy the fact some people did suffer the consequences of that is regrettable. you don't have to go get a lot of money. meanwhile two senior catalan police officers and two leading separatists have appeared in court to face addition allegations the four accused of failing to enforce a court ban on holding the referendum they will have to return to court in the coming days after a prosecutor presents new evidence catalan leaders have said that regional leader carlos bruised a man will address the regional parliament on tuesday comes after spain's high court barred caroline lawmakers from holding a parliamentary session on monday to discuss the region's bid for independence and

with us here in studio is marie copperheads she's a representative of the catalan regional government here in germany ms comforts thank you very much for joining us here on d.w. first of all the planned session that carlsberg the most that he's planning to go ahead with this coming week on tuesday is that really the right choice after the spanish constitutional court has said this meeting is illegal well the constitutional court is very active and they cleared a parliamentary session on monday but on tuesday it's legal so it will be a regular part of a terrorist session it's very surprising that as parliamentary session can be declared illegal within the constitutional court so it will be a regular session and. as the president quite alone has the right to address the parliament and will he declare independence we will see that do you think that's the right step to take. declared independence yes at this point seeing the violence

after the referendum vote and also that spain essentially doesn't recognize where the violence was during the referendum vote and not caused by the catalans after state and. what we are looking right now for is a meaty taters someone who could bring us to the table and make us talk with the spanish government because this is the what we really want to do we don't want to break rules we don't want to break. treaties we want to talk and we want to agree and coins and we need to do that so we need someone who could do this for us or our offer himself as a as a peace negotiator what is the catalan government looking to get out of this sort of mediation that you're looking to to take carry forward where we are and like since twenty two thousand twenty to twenty five. trying to talk to the med route government in order to improve our autonomous government and it doesn't really work

because there's this this is no and it's illegal and all these answers that didn't doesn't really help and so what we want is to to step on and try to talk by other means but always peaceful and quietly not with someone else talking about riots or we don't do that what about the referendum vote in the first place it is after all illegal according to the spanish constitution yes well but. the spanish constitutional court is as you may now know very politically influenced by the governing party. so you say this was a political decision wasn't political and there is actually an author of this constitution he says that a referendum could have a place within the spanish constitution and we fight for our right to have this court this referendum and to to have our own voice heard you want to have your own voice heard in the catalan government claims that the majority of catalan support

independence what kind of independence would this be if the spanish government doesn't recognize it. well there could be another countries to recognize this it's not necessarily that the spanish government the european union says it's an internal matter of spain yeah that's very surprising i because we saw it last sunday so many were so many. police violence going on and it doesn't really fit into the european values i think so i think the european union should take some or it's should be interested in and talk about that with the spanish government and the current government and we really like to to love we love to her the arguments from the medved side we've never heard but we have a lot of off steady arguments to talk about and we hope that they have they were the value within these debates what are some of those arguments or what is the catalan government's position here what is wrong with the status quo as being a part of spain and as catalan is in the moment when you so there's

a lot of issues there are many issues. from the social side from the economic side from the cultural side and and all of these are well very deeply rooted in the society in the current society as one example is that created the recently has fought against thirty two laws from the from the gotta learn parliament which is what you were last like for instance and equality between men and women and this is really surprising and we need to have these kind of laws but madrid doesn't allow us to have this kind of loss so self-determination you mentioned the economy doesn't the cattle an economy also benefit from being a part of spain. maybe and we hope oh sure for sure we but we haven't we have a steady export economy and we have brought international investment and got a monium also so if you suggest that there could be

a boycott from the spanish side so maybe but it's not really so important to us is all those things that you say mediation is the way forward that's what you're hoping for a good start would be a whole thing or a recovery it's a representative of the cuttle and regional government here in germany thank you very much for joining us on the program thank you very much you're watching still to come in sports spain's preparations for a crucial world cup qualifier are destructive by the catalan independence fitted with defender gerard piqué in the eye of the storm. let's take a look now at some other stories making headlines around the world the body of the former iraqi president jalal talabani has arrived in the country from germany where he died on tuesday at the age of eighty two taliban he stepped down as president in two thousand and fourteen following a stroke he was the first iraqi president of kurdish origin and it's been hailed in death as a unifying figure in iraqi politics. at least twenty two people in central america

have died after a tropical storm unleashed heavy rains storm nate head costa rica nicaragua and honduras and it's moving north forecasters say that nature could strengthen into a hurricane headed for the united states. and northern germany has been hit by a massive storm that left at least seven people dead and forced the cancellation of transport services in many areas the german weather service says winds sweeping the region hit speeds of one hundred eighty kilometers per hour. and the u.s. gun lobbyists have made a rare call for more regulation after this week's mass shooting in las vegas that left fifty eight people dead and many more injured the powerful national rifle association says it wants more regulations for devices that are used to increase firing speed police say the shooter in las vegas used such tools during the massacre as he targeted victims at a popular music festival. with year round

me. brendan stewart an avid music fan who wanted to be a country singer he was one of the fifty eight people killed at the harvest music festival last sunday. his sister and his best friend still trying to come to terms with the loss. you know you don't really know. who has it. think it's going to be on we walk in the office and. across town a vigil for another victim of the mass shooting charleston hartfield was a police officer who had attended the festival off duty fifty eight victims fifty eight stories of bereavement. the deadliest mass shooting in modern u.s. history was possible because the gunman stephen paddock had modified his arsenal of

weapons with legal so-called bump stocks. these devices allow guns to fire at a rapid rate almost like fully automatic weapons. in the wake of the shooting the trumpet ministration deflected initial calls for tighter gun legislation. but now the chiefs of the national rifle association have released a statement in a surprise concession for an organization that famously opposes any hint of new restrictions it calls for a federal review of stocks that make rapid fire easier with semiautomatic weapons moments after the white house press secretary praised the announcement. this afternoon members of both parties in multiple organizations are planning to take a look at stocks and related devices we certainly welcome that would like to be part of that conversation but the organization that the n.r.a.

wants to talk with handling the bomb struck issue is the bureau of alcohol tobacco and firearms a move that has already been interpreted by some as a strategy to keep the issue out of congress and avoid any more sweeping gun controls. in a country where since the attack on sunday at least eighty seven people have been killed by firearms the n.r.a. is proposal is a far cry from corrective action. we're turning now to spain's political crisis and there is there more bad news for catalonia the business community monika sumi the international monetary fund warns that tensions in the region could affect confidence and investment decisions and it certainly affected spain's stock market already the ibex spain's main equity index lost almost another percent financial stocks are among the biggest losers as spain's fourth largest bank bank was about dell announced it will move their headquarters out of the breakaway region of

catalonia a bank which is based in barcelona says it's also considering a similar move analysts see that as a first sign that the push for independence could scare away big business. well german industry on the other hand keeps going strong fresh figures from the ministry of economic affairs confirm the country's reputation for being a strong export nation factory orders at the end of august were up a whopping seven point nine percent compared to the same time last year beating analyst expectations demand for products and pads made in germany was particularly high outside of the euro so well such good news go down well on the trading floor in frankfurt all about as more on bad. it certainly is and i'm sure it contributed to another record high in attacks here putting smiles on other people's faces as well here in the room alongside me the traders here also people watching

the economy and the month on month number is also very high and it speaks for a very strong german economy now and comment by economists that i read it did say that because of the funny holiday scheduling here in germany trend may be a bit exaggerated but basically it's still a good base showing that there's all the reason to expect strong exports in the future to with these orders being high that's the business that's the exports that's the concern for of the future factored in there and providing a solid fund front foundation for the kind of share prices we're seeing here at the moment but i have another topic to discuss with you in just a moment so do stay put with us because we take a look at the aviation sector struggles and ryan alabang cripps east germany's abolition and monarch in britain the airline industry has seen its fair share of

ups and downs and that's just the last couple of weeks and it looks as though all dutch turbulence might well be easy jet's gain in the british low cost carrier announced today that a summer of love with record passenger numbers put it on track to reach the upper end of its profit forecast for the full year some four hundred and fifty seven million euros and it is feeling confident for the future pointing to what is termed a rapidly consolidating market that's business jargon for fuel competitors out there and it certainly has its eyes on the skies easyjet is expressing interest for assets from the caucus is a evelyn and alitalia which have both and to insolvency proceedings so easy jet the next big thing in the european aviation less bats in frankfurt as. actually really how are these easyjet ambitions going down in the home base in frankfurt the home base of lufthansa. in different ways with the left tons of people of course are

looking with perhaps some trepidation of easyjet stretching out its reach for slots that will give the fans a competition and tons of might not be able to up its prices as much as it wants after air berlin falling by the wayside alitalia in trouble and easy jet a very potent airline a profitable one and it could provide the kind of competition that the other side of the picture the clients the customers the airline passengers would like to see to have prices keeping on being quite low the numbers still you said meeting the forecast of easy jet yes but the number actually was lower than in the previous business years one of the main factors the lower pound a lot of revenues coming in in the pound but costs. for the most part outside the pound area outside great britain so a lot more burden there but all in all is each at a profitable airline not easy to achieve in these tough competitive times and that

industry obviously just easy for easy jet in for emphasis thank you so much for this right. well tried and tested to that's the new old coach of buy em unit isn't that right sue me that's right monica well we're talking about going to get giants by me because they have confirmed that you pint this has been appointed after clubs new coach the seventy two year old is taking over until the end of the season following the sacking of carlo into law his most recent tenure at byron ended with his retirement in two thousand and thirteen after he won a travel of champions league bundesliga and german cup titles. we have jonathan crane here from our sports desk jonathan is this a good move for byron to bring back your point is i think it's probably a sensible move they really need someone to come in and study the ship it's been a poor start to the season by their standards their five points behind versus dortmund at the top of the business league a loss there and champions league game against paris so they've got someone who

knows how the club works he knows what's expected and he knows a lot of the squad already so i think it is a good move crucially and i think this is something he was deliberating over yesterday when he was deciding whether he would go and come out of retirement for a second time whether he could get his assistant paid to him and whose account is the standard fortune to savor in the secondly fortunate have allowed him to leave his role so it looks like those two will be reunited of course they won the treble together so by munich back in twenty thirteen what can be achieved this season and who would replace your point is at the end of the season let's remember kali wants a lot he was brought in to win the champions league for buy and that's the the elusive target that's what they want and we know who has already achieved that so that's what they'll be going for they also need to win the boom as they were as well it's kind of a bare minimum for them once the season is over then they will probably turn their attention to you leonardo when he's the coach of hoffenheim very highly rated and i

think the thinking is let's get someone in now to study this shit and then bring in our girls and he's only thirty years old he still inexperienced by many standards so his first season taking a side in two european. petition and then when he comes in over the summer he'll have a completely fresh start all right jonathan stay right there because we have some international football to talk about a world cup qualifying continues later today two thousand and ten winner spain can clinch their birth in russia when they play albania but ahead of the match anally can take harmony in the spain squad has been tested by the catalan independence referendum. tough times for spanish football gerard piqué is participation in the catalan independence referendum has met with a few areas backlash he said he'd be prepared to step down from the national team now he says he doesn't want to give his critics that satisfaction. quitting now would be giving in to all those people who think the best solution is whistles and insults. quitting would give the impression they had won and i won't

give them that luxury. strain or to be fully focused on friday's world cup qualifier against albania but the squad has been dealing with distractions. it hasn't been an easy week for anyone politics has been mixed with sport and i think that was the big mistake. piquet does still have plenty of support and at next year's world cup spain will need experienced players if they are to succeed but the catalan independence issue continues to cast a shadow over the squad. i jonathan so politics playing a role in sports there is going to affect spain's chances for success there's no getting away from it the referendum really has dominated the build up to spain's game and arguably disrupted the preparations and as we had in tom's piece there is

kind of the status played out between. p.k. and ramage it says you're around most of course to rivals that club level in the league around madrid great rivals of course and it's been a real roller coaster week really for p k he's never really fully nailed his colors to the mosque but it's quite clear i think where he stands given his support for the referendum ramel says then criticized him for a kind of putting political treats out on social media that i think maybe hypocritically ramesses has done something similar because he praised a very controversial speech by the spanish king remember philippe saying accusing the catalonia authorities of disloyalty i think once the whistle blows tonight and the game kicks off the players will manage to put it behind them and focus on beating spain and then you have this bigger question which none of us really know how the politics going to play out it's all hypothetical but looking towards russia next year if there is an independent catalonia you might force some players to

choose between catalonia and spain and that could split up spain's defensive partnership which has been one of the cornerstones really to their success talking about the world cup in russia next year we might not see one of the game's greatest players linnell messi and argentina why is that what's going on i think forty four million argentines are probably asking exactly the same question as one of my colleagues said well cup without messi is like october fest without the beer it won't be as much fun certainly it's been a disastrous campaign from then they're getting away from it they've they've really struggled to score the goal is a draw against drew in their last day means they're now in sixth place in the group and only the top four guaranteed to qualify the fifth place team goes into a playoff they now have to go. it's playing in. which they've really struggled in the past games if. they've lost the last two and drawn one so it's going to be an uphill struggle for them and of course you know messi approaching the trial out of his career and might not ever get a chance now to win the world cup with argentina it's hard to imagine

a world cup without right jonathan crane from our sports desk thank you very much you're watching news so still to come on the program organic farming could help address malnutrition in india but who is benefiting from the trend towards have to find crops our reporter takes a look. and an entire town in sweden is moving we'll tell you why and how they're doing it. the cuban revolution made him a legend. capitalism turned him into a brand. revolutionary command.

a regional election to settle the political crisis over its bid for independence and this year's nobel peace prize has been awarded to the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons the nobel committee and also praised i can't efforts to establish a global global treaty outlined the devastating weapons at a time of renewed nuclear tensions. our social media editor karl nastiness here with us now to talk more about the prizewinner hi carl so this first sound was pretty unexpected why i can now i think some people are surprised especially you don't see so many organizations getting it all the last year was also an organization the nobel committee today they explained some of the reasoning behind the awarding of the peace prize to icann it turns out that it really does fit in perfectly with alfred nobel's original wishes and take a look this is coming from the nobel committee and this is actually a video of his original will and the committee along with this video they said that the twenty seven thousand nobel peace prize to icann has

a solid grounding in his will the committee then later explained in a press release that he left behind some very specific instructions for the awarding of the peace prize in fact in this press release to explain that his will contains three different criteria for the prize one of them is the advancement of disarmament and arms control and it continues that i can work vigorously to achieve nuclear disarmament mr nobel he died eight hundred ninety six so just around the turn of the century already concerned though about the proliferation of weapons and i think he would have approved then of this pick you know the nobel committee today has been denying that the board to supposed to send some sort of message to world leaders but we can't deny what is happening at the moment are we supposed to believe that from the nobel committee itself one. they're definitely staying neutral right as they should as this as opposed to but i can is another story they haven't exactly been neutral the organization as we found out on their social media

accounts they've really been going after the u.s. president donald trump take a look we found some tweets here this is from just five days ago and this is the organization responding directly to the president on twitter it says it's unacceptable for states to reject diplomacy and threaten nuclear war don't listen to trump support a nuclear ban another one here and this is coming from the account of i can's executive director beatrice finn she writes donald trump threatens nuclear war but jack's diplomacy and multilateralism and wants to build new types of nukes but somehow states that want to make a legally binding commitment to never use or possess nuclear weapons or the irresponsible wants and just two days ago to me she left no doubt about how she feels about the president just four words five words donald trump is a moron so that could be hard to misinterpret that she actually was asked about this direct tweets in a press conference today and here's her response. you tweeted

donald trump is a moron do you do you stand by that statement does it make nuclear war more or less likely thank you but this is very awkward now. that was obviously a joke but of course i think that the election of president don't trump has made a lot of people feel very uncomfortable with the fact that he alone can authorize the use of nuclear weapons and there's nothing people can do to stop him. i think that's going to be the first like head banging i've seen from a nobel peace prize winner but seriously the nobel committee they're denying that this award has any direct message for political leaders but i think that this award may at least validate for i can themselves their message their campaign against president trumps all season against what he's doing and maybe an escalation of nuclear war on his part and i quote a caller not a congratulations i can for winning the two thousand have been a nobel peace prize our social media editor crossman thank you karl. now to some

other news the u.n. is warning of a worsening situation in mali where a campaign by islamist extremists appears to be spreading to neighboring nature that's after four nigerian soldiers and three u.s. troops were killed in a joint patrol near the border between the two countries now the attack comes as no surprise to german troops who are in mali as part of a un deployment there the shells landed in the mali an army camp at night in the immediate vicinity of the german camp and go a drone has been examining the area they were fired from the shelling with five hits that's a lot even in this conflict zone. this is and look into all this is a latent threat we have to face every day when the at least the last attack here took place in late two thousand and sixteen. but the u.n. camps around us regularly see fighting. become failed preventing such

attacks from going ahead that's precisely why the button disappear troops go out on their regular patrols their un mandate is to collect information and get a sense of the situation for organ and most of the german troops it's become routine but they're still aware they are not entirely safe if i say i need danger is with us the whole time our enemies know that we're moving around the area you find if they see us they try to spy on us if they know we're here or. even if he doesn't. squad leader stefan w. cautiously approaches an assembly. northern mali is difficult territory the mali and government former rebels and islamist groups all follow their own goals here the u.n. troops of which the germans are a part are here to monitor implementation of the peace accords often the best source of information is the village elder. in

a car north waiting is being held here and we've practically crashed in them but they've given us a warm welcome for us it's important to get a first glimpse and what the overall situation is and many people have told me that organized crime is the biggest problem and yet to come and. it's fertile ground for human traffickers and other criminals then there's the unstable political situation many people feel safer with the u.n. troops and some have demanded a crackdown but they're not allowed to hunt the terrorists themselves. many in mali do not believe that the peace treaty still has a chance but we older people still think it's possible that it will just take a long time. and at the moment there's hope former rebels and pro-government fighters have agreed on a ceasefire it's not the first one many have come and gone but at least it's another attempt to quiet the situation just how difficult the process is was shown

during a visit to the joint battalion of ex rebels and government troops one of the main pillars of the peace deal first there were huge delays and then in january seventy recruits were killed in an attack there is no faster simple solution to molly's troubles for the germans here there will surely be many more patrols. now edge of pan's notoriously long working hours are coming under scrutiny monica it's a quite shocking release from our perspective sumi a japanese advertising firm denso has just been fined for making employee use work excessive overtime a court in tokyo or the company to pay five hundred thousand yen that's about thirty eight hundred euros not a lot of money considering that labor practices a densa came under scrutiny after a twenty four year old employee committed suicide in two thousand and fifteen the government late a rule she died off. that's

a japanese term that literally means death by over where and it's not an isolated case only this week japan's public broadcaster n h k disclosed that a thirty one year old reporter died four years ago after clocking one hundred fifty nine hours of overtime in the month before her death. so how does this work mentality impacted japan's economy let's bring in andrea hang with joins us on skype from singapore. is is japan dependent on this kind of labor practice or is it just a cultural issue. well it really does boil down to the basics which a lot of japanese employees don't really put into practice you know long hours equals poor health and equals no productivity so really the economy is not entirely dependent on these overtime hours there is this culture very strong culture of meeting the bosses demands are without hesitation and it out over time and

a lot of it does go unrecorded ok well so it's not really that good for the economy and this fine i mean five hundred thousand yen some three hundred three thousand eight hundred euros four thousand four hundred dollars i mean will that change anything while michael strangely it will will it have an impact on the industry but not for the reasons you think it is not in monetary cost not just the monetary costs for these employees but it comes also very grave moral cost the japanese pride themselves with a very strong work ethic and if they are found guilty of painting to adhere to these new health regulations for their workers it will be a big hit for these companies all right address so the japan is going to do something about it the government or other has already implemented some measures put some measures in place i mean really two things are sending inspectors to buildings to make sure that lights are to stop it's an hours also

a lot of forcing managers to take get their employees and see their work home which in its early stages has shown some improvement in productivity levels among these workers right andrea hang in singapore thank you so much for this. india has the highest number of undernourished people in the world some say it's because the land is so contaminated with chemicals that the food it produces as virtually no nutritional value there's a growing trend now to introduce again a clay farm foodstuffs but the price is often beyond the means of poor people reporter kept nice on the story in new delhi. in the heart of new delhi crowds gather for the sunday morning farmers market. stalls organic produce free from chemicals fertilizers and pesticides. and most of the customers belong to india's growing middle class some of the products cost twice as

much. i would prefer to not spend much more money because i feel that this is something that we deserve and we should get and in fact i think the chemical bit is so bad that you end up spending more money for your health care afterwards if that would do it no good you don't get better broke for your body or everything as has come good programmer bitterness is needed in a time because the rest is going towards organic food you must be a reason for that so why do we have to go through the same cycle we first go to g.m. and then come back to organic. tis an organic farmer who lives south of india's capital that there's a bit of yours his career has taken a u. turn. seven years ago he owned a software company but sold it to become an organic firma. because a decision was made or dated not by money but passion he says decades of chemical use have destroyed india's soil and he wants to help turn things around there is an

absence of. life in the soil. retrying them and they mean that all your god is rich look andy don't have all the nutrients there human beings the. harsh ses india's government gives to organic farmers that given empty promises and the money just into the cities. but the number of organic farmers is growing steadily thanks to increasing demand from the city's online retailer i say organic now supplies ten thousand pounds holds. they offer around two hundred products including free to vegetables. and meat coupon found at the company in twenty eleven which now employs about fifty people. in the business sector but one of the biggest challenges in this young market is knowing whether or not the certified products offered by the farmers are what they claim to be with us i.

it's customized it's cost just like jamie oliver's cooking car. but we all know the phrase love can move mountains but can they move a town where apparently as possible so many in the far north of europe there's a swedish community that is in the process of moving their entire town kiruna is located one hundred fifty kilometers north of the arctic circle and lies on the edge of an iron ore mine now after ground of the tons outskirts began to cave in at the locals they decided that they were going to relocate now homes are being moved one by one and the mining company is footing the bill. without its huge iron ore mine this town in the wide expanse of lapland wouldn't exist but the mine is also its undoing for more than one hundred years they had a symbiotic relationship but now. has to be moved the mine is creeping closer

underground the house is no longer safe. the flatbed trucks are here what doesn't get torn down will be piggybacked. today house number b. fifty two his hitting the road it's a so-called inkpot house the historic building that's high precision work and they'll want to find out if this beam is higher than the other ones but we need them level otherwise it's not going to work. the truck is laden with around one hundred tons the entire old neighborhood from the mines beginnings is to be moved. the trucks will drive two and a half kilometers to this place where the new town of kirana will be established. for the past ten years terma has photographed every important step of the process he's already published three picture books documenting the move he and his friends

own the small bookstore here he bit off somebody else. we want to be one of the first in the new town we're proactive about it of course we're also worried we might even be able to take this old house with us and be at the new location pretty promptly. but. it will be another five years before the town center is moved many shop owners are worried about how to bridge the time until that happens you're having a lot who runs the local clothing shop her grandparents started this resigned. whole song harder. part. in every family there's at least one person who works in the mine or is dependent on it so if they say we have to move then that's the way it is and we have to get used to that the war on. the

ground beneath the town is wearing away and caving in huge ravines are developing the pits cracks a growing moving ever closer to the town. the flatbed haul would have speed fifty two has crept along on the first kilometer this summer seven houses a jew to be moved. relocating the time will cost at least two billion euros but the old train station and hotel are not part of the plan the building simply too big all that remains now is its frame and this will soon be torn down. carrying baggage as here with her grandchildren to change saddens her. loss of old memories will disappear but we are happy about the jobs that will continue to come from. the state owned mine operator is financing the biggest part of the move.

to help. the old houses of the soul of kiruna twenty year due to be preserved but the moment there's even discussion about significantly more than that since they're in such good shape i would very much welcome that. because of the it's. the mining company l k maybe had no other option at the town not been moved the mine would soon have been forced to shut down now the iron ore will continue to be scraped out until at least twenty thirty five if the world market price develops favorably. that'll be twenty years we'll have to see if it continues after that because of course we'll only mine the if it's profitable will stop if it becomes too expensive. of course everyone in kirana is pinning their hopes on

a bright future for the mining here if the mine ever disappeared so. now us from the caribbean to here in germany deadly storms have been making headlines around the globe the weather is on everyone's minds whether they're climate activists or deniers a new exhibition of germany's federal art and exhibition hall is looking at the issue of whether past present and future through history culture the show weather report opens this weekend in bonn the city is gearing up to host this year's u.n. climate change conference twenty three. and our culture editor david leavitt is here to talk more about this with us david so this is a this is an exhibition that's pegged towards looking at weather and its place in our society what we're curious hoping to achieve you know germany is a country that takes climate change pretty seriously and with the card coming up i think what the curators want to accomplish is to show just how big

a topic this really is climate and whether it's not just science it affects our moods it affects our activities our economies even our cultures and it's such a big topic to tackle that the museum is taking a very broad approach. the weather affects the soul whether we like it or not. the weather report exhibition is focusing on how with the influences human civilization and culture. to clean up this very important debate about climate there's a communication problem it's too loaded with facts and statistics we're taking another approach whether it's climate we experience it's our exhibition is taking an interdisciplinary approach we're going to show and give equal weight to every day culture in the natural sciences and through this there will be a surprising and exciting makes the mission. that makes includes works is very does

those by english romantic painted john constable. american artist geoffrey hendrix who has styled himself as a cloud smith for his work with sky themed images to the early technology at sixteenth century sundials all the way to the spiritual with the fifteenth century wind god made of lava. the exhibition boasting more than four hundred objects in artworks from across the world runs till march. there's some pretty cool items in there there's also a thermometer that was used by father scientists here we call it fahrenheit in a speaking world and there's also some of the original rubber shoes by scottish. designer mackintosh came up with rubber boots and rubber jackets they're even called macintosh in britain it's pretty it's a pretty broad expression you know it's not just on the extreme weather that we've

been covering so much in the news lately that we have to talk about but there are also you know parts of the world where you can't get by for example anymore without air conditioning that's right well we've got of wind that we saw in the piece and florida where i'm from for instance air conditioning is definitely on. a god if you will and air conditioning was actually invented in florida just a little sideline and i think anyone who's been there understand why you try to take that away from people now they can't think i think it would spark a war if you try to take away the air conditioning but you know the thing is the weather affects us so much because we're just such fragile creatures and it doesn't just affect our mood it also affects our productivity researchers have pinpointed the temperature at which humans are the most productive and believe it or not it's pretty cold is thirteen degrees celsius which is not a temperature that many of us like but if you look at here in germany this is a country of engineering of culture museums philosophy etc i don't think that

germany would be where it is if it had sun. what about where how we look at weather because we have course are more developed today we have you know weather app some satellite images how does that has that changed our perspective of how we look at weather well i think that in some ways you know maybe that gives us a sense of control because we can see things coming but really what it does is it lets us know how little is in our control we see these massive storms coming and we can't do anything to stop them we can just prepare really a few not so long ago people were basically praying for rain for their crops now today we're hoping that we can change weather on a global perspective really with climate change coming if we take a look at the show there's we could really see how far we've come in that regard this is a piece by the by the artist olafur eliasson he's an artist who creates microclimates and even he's even created a waterfall installation that was unthinkable just a few centuries ago when this instrument was cutting edge no it's not

a coconut it's the magna bird hemispheres which were used to demonstrate in the spirit of pressure and before that catholics used to pray to saint barbara she's the patron saint of people caught in storms believe it or not there is a patron saint of that it's because. her father was struck by lightning when he beheaded her great story bear with the conference coming up i'm sure that same barber would make some great about the dangers of climate denier david i see you have your umbrella here with i don't have. a right so this exhibition this taking place in bonn there is more on that on our website absolutely there's more on that on our website. culture right david leavitt's our culture editor with us here in studio talking about the weather thank you to have me. here watching a date of you news a from berlin you can head to our web site for all the latest
