this is you know we news live from berlin a peace a war for increasingly dangerous times know both judges honor the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons as the potential risk of atomic warfare increases for the first time in a generation also coming up. spain's government apologizes for police

violence during catalonia is disputed in the pendants referendum on sunday but the big question remains will catalan leaders declare the region is breaking away we're live in barcelona. and police used tear gas on opposition protesters in kenya's capital they are demanding elektra officials involved in august contested presidential election be fired for nairobi with the latest. and also on the way you pikas it is returning to bahrain munich he takes over as head coach of the bundesliga powerhouse until the end of the season as his fourth time in charge of bias. i'm well of iraq so glad to have you along. a committee also has awarded the twenty

seventy know well peace prize to the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons also known as i kept all the group played a key role in this year's adoption of a united nations treaty on prohibiting nuclear arms or the nobel committee says it authored i can for reviving efforts to ban such weapons at a time of renewed global tensions the norwegian nobel committee has decided to award the nobel peace prize for twenty seventeen to the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons that you never based organization is more commonly known as i can it and a significant victory when the un adulterate a symbolic nuclear treaty addressing the issue the chair of the norwegian nobel committee said the risk of nuclear weapons being used is currently greater than it

has been for a long time. when you. take a historical look it seems like there have been moments where it's been more engagement among nuclear states to end. disarmament initiatives i do not believe we are in such a moment today. none of the nine no nuclear powers have signed up to the new do entreating pushed by the group. feel bored also comes amid heightened tensions over north korea's nuclear development and us president donald trump is criticism of a deal curbing iran's nuclear program something i can find deeply concerning. i think that they have and deal is really important and it will be really really unfortunate and a huge security risk for the world if that was ripped up especially at

a time when iran is complying with the deal. so i think that treating the deal needs to remain be supported. and has too much to step up its campaign and to do even more until all nuclear weapons eliminated. well are to discuss this year surprise peace prize recipient i want to turn now to leo hoffman he is with the i can he represents the organization in germany he just happens to be on a visit to brussels and we're so happy to have you can graduations tell us about the moment you got the news and there were taken aback as your executive director was thank you so much for having me yes of course there had been some speculation that we were in the running for for this incredible prize but it's the kind of thing that even if you even after it's been awarded you can hardly realize that this actually happened the kind of thing that will take you back also years after all right so you guys are still pinching yourselves great you did when do you feel

that the nobel committee is trying to send a message here and i'm thinking specifically about the timing. no it's absolutely right that of course we are living now in a time of tension as not just the relation of the war of words between north korea and the united states as of recently also in the past years a cue from from russia and from other states we've heard quite a lot more nuclear authority and of course there's a just one step from the rhetorical to the action and it's very important in this moment to have a treaty signed by the majority of the nations of the world that just draw a line in the sand and say no we do not find these weapons of mass destruction acceptable they are now illegal and we have to make sure that everybody knows including the president of the united states and the leader of north korea that we condemn these weapons and everybody else is not finding this acceptable at all tell us a little more about i can and it's worked to curb the proliferation of nuclear weapons

. yes i can was a fun of ten years ago it was basically the idea to to really draw attention to the weapons as such so before they were an abstract tool that was the subject of a series like the tyrants but of course in the real world things are just a bit more messy and there's accidents that happen miscalculation miscommunication as we've seen just recently and so you really need to see what is the actual real world the fact that these weapons have detonated so the focus on the humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons was the thing that really drove states to realize that we can no longer just be patient and stand by as minority of states really just nine nations have nuclear weapons everybody else is doing just fine without nuclear weapons however everybody security is put being being put at risk by this minority of states that really believe that they need weapons of mass destruction

for their security and do you feel that having won the nobel peace prize will give a boost to your efforts to try and reduce some of the geopolitical tensions that you have just mentioned no absolutely this is the crucial point so we're not so of course we're happy to have received the nobel peace prize it's been years of work to convince the majority of states to come together and ban nuclear weapons but the main point here is really that the media attention for disband treaty has been extremely low so far because of course the mainstays had been boycotting the effort and so we think that the nobel peace prize is the ideal moment to make sure that everybody knows that nuclear weapons have been declared illegal on the international level because only of people know people need there is citizens everywhere know that nuclear weapons are considered illegal and unacceptable only then will the nuclear weapons provision treaty actually have the impact that we need all right elliot hoffman ox telma is with i can congratulations again and

a good luck with your important work. thank you so much for having. we'll take a turn now to that increasingly tense standoff in spain a top spanish government official in catalonia has apologized for the use of police force last weekend some eight hundred people were injured in clashes with law enforcement when the region held an unauthorized independence referendum meanwhile a spokesman for the government in madrid suggested catalonia hold new regional elections to try and settle the crisis that has been sparked by his push for independence he also addressed last weekend's police violence in his statement let's take a listen to what he said exactly 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. here don't but the fact some people did suffer the consequences of

that is regrettable. and meanwhile catalonians regional government has announced the a fine it was also an authorized independence referendum they say some ninety point eighteen percent of those who voted supported secession that's out of less than half of the region's population that took part in the vote and the catalonian it leaders appear to be inching away from a pledge to declare independence within forty eight hours of those results the speaker of the parliament said the catalan leader carla put him on would speak in a parliamentary session on choose state and would rather with answer questions on quote the political situation. all right to with the much dreaded prospect of no deal being reached between the two sides that can stave off more tensions what to bring indeed. for the very latest she is in barcelona good evening

anna sophie something's got to give but the two sides just aren't budging let's start first with the a pro independence a catalan party are they still on track to declare work to that they will secede from spain in a couple of days. well the situation is still very unclear here there are media reports in fact. nationals anish newspaper is reporting that the cattle independence is very likely to be declared on tuesday and they quote a catalan lawmaker here who says that they're already negotiating about the text of the declaration of independence the other sources however that say that the catalan government is actually just waiting for a gesture of madrid and so the situation is very unclear ok so you mentioned a gesture i want to pick up on on that because from the spanish perspective of course the integrity of its territory as it is in its current state is say but

we've heard official strake a more conciliatory tone today are you seeing an opening there and why did it take them this long. well that's a good question that's actually a question that lots of people are asking here too why did it take them so long i don't have the answer. it is it might be a gesture yes that's what some people see in it but on the other hand madrid has today passed a law that allows catalan businesses to transfer their legal bays very easily and to other parts of spain obviously and at the same time madrid also says that they won't negotiate with catalonia as long as they don't give up their independence ambitions and that's the big thing here so it is

a gesture but i don't know if it makes things really that much easier and we're going to talk in a little while about the ramifications for the business community but first i want to ask you about catalan public opinion those in favor of understand of remaining part of spain have announced that they will rally on sunday is this a sign of a growing rift within callen society itself well there is definitely a growing rift here and catalan society is very divided especially about this independence matter many people are against it many people are in favor of it and many people told me that the have the impression that they can't really voice their opinion freely anymore that the other side picks up on them and is very strongly against them and so there are growing concerns here about this division this social division and there is also obviously a concern about more violence to come with more big demonstrations ahead. of us'

and so fisi been reporting from barcelona with the latest thank you for the update . and as ever sophie alluded to there are some serious ramifications for the business community and barsel in the car and catalonia that's right the international monetary fund warns that the move to push for catalonia independence could affect confidence and investment decisions in the region and ratings agency fitch has warmed and may downgrade catalonia as sovereign debt rating in case it does declare independence that just one day after standard and poor's issued a similar warning no wonder businesses in the region are weighing up their options and now the government of madrid has passed a decree helping companies shift their legal headquarters out of catalonia. catalonia spain's most well off region ten of the country's forty six saving banks headquartered here but for how long some businesses have already voted with their

feet bank is the country's third largest lender it announced on friday it will move its headquarters from barcelona. and it's not the only one sab adele spain's fifth largest bank has already got the movies in its new headquarters will be in an accounting on the east coast analysts say the unknown surrounding the region's future when the stakes are high likely they're going to judge us by the list of all of spanish bonds a rise in interest rates an increase in the risk premium and the possible hole to foreign investments in catalonia and spain other consequences of the risk posed by the political and economic situation there were real economy which is the proof in the. and here at barcelona industry week companies with operations in catalonia have been expressing their concerns. not knowing the future of catalonia whether it will be inside or outside of spain makes

entrepreneurs think carefully about their companies but there's a lot of what you will always go in the safest direction. no one was. able to catalonia accounts for a fifth of spain's economy but financial markets have been shaken this week by fears that secession would undermine the euro zone's fourth biggest economy dealing a heavy blow to spain's finances and sending the catalan economy into a tailspin. to the united states and it's a mixed picture for the u.s. economy the country shed thirty three thousand jobs of the labor department blaming those losses on harrigan's erm and harvey that hit the south of the country a few weeks ago but a key indicator of the country's economic fortunes wage growth is picking up workers are on average being paid about three percent more compared with last year faster growth than analysts expected. or germany has a reputation of being a strong export nation and the latest figures out from the ministry of economic

affairs show it is staying true to its name factory orders at the end of august were up an impressive seven point nine percent compared to the same time last year outpacing analysts expectations by far now the appetite for products and parts made in germany was particularly healthy outside of the euro zone three. french carmaker renault is going electric the diesel gate scandal and global public concern over climate change have pushed car companies to radically overhaul their product range fox wagon and promised to provide electric versions of all of their models now renault says half of its models will be electric in just a few years time renner who is taking a leaf out of patna company sounds book the nissan leaf is the firm's flagship electric car now the c.e.o. will run no once his firm to roll out more electric and hybrid vehicles.

altogether and if you fight for count for fifty percent of our lineup. it garners your electric twelve. total of twenty on the line up of thirty nine this is more than fifty percent of product over it's hardly surprising car makers are rushing to come out on top in the race to go like trick german car makers folks fog and dima have pledged to often electric versions of all that cost by the middle of the next decade after all they're looking to clean up their reputations in the wake of the diesel emissions scandal but with everyone piling on the electric bandwagon over the coming years the question remains can run no pull ahead of the competition with the next model set to be available by twenty twenty two they're hoping to get a head start. a surprise statement coming from the united states powerful gun lobby

. absolutely here in the u.s. a gun lobbyists have made a rare call for more regulation after this week smashing in las vegas that left fifty eight people dead and many more injured the a powerful national rifle association says it wants more regulations for devices that are used to increase firing speed the police say the shooter in las vegas used one of those tools during the massacre when he targeted victims at a popular music festival there. year round. run in stuart 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. yet you don't really know. who has it. think it's going to be thrown.

across town a vigil for another victim of the mass shooting. in 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 paddick 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 and

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 easy 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 stock 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 want to tell you now about some of the other

stories making news around the world at least sixteen people have died and several are injured after a passenger train collided with a bus and in russia officials say the bus had stalled on a rail were crossing and the train was unable to stop in time the accident happened about eighty five kilometers east of moscow all of the dead are feared to be whose back citizens the body of former iraqi president jalal talabani has arrived back in his hometown of sunni and he passed away this week in germany at the age of eighty three taliban e stepped down as president back in two thousand and fourteen after he suffered a stroke he was the first iraqi president of kurdish origin and has been hailed as a unifying figure in iraq in politics. pope francis has called on leading internet companies to protect children online at

a vatican backed conference the pontiff urged executives to use quote their great profits to defend young people from sexual exploitation and sexual violence well he also called for tougher sanctions against online child abusers. all cup qualifying going to use later today and two thousand and ten winner spain can clinch their spot in russia when they play against albania but ahead of the nationally condé harmony in the spain squad has been tested by the cattle an independence referendum. tough times for spanish football gerard piqué his participation in the catalan independence referendum has met with a furious 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 day one 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. german side by munich have appointed you perhaps because as their new coach the seventy two year old is coming out of retirement or has signed a contract until the end of the season it's his fourth time in charge of buying.

eubank is retired from coaching in two thousand and thirteen and he went out on a high as one the trouble with buying the champions league the bonus league and the german cup. his good friend by and president played a big role in convincing him to come out of retirement many of the players know hank is from his last time in charge and they're happy to see him come back. they can feel it he knows a lot of the guys and he has huge experience he's a great coach and really understands the players i think he'll give the team a boost and make us better. i guess we'll take over training on monday and stay until the end of the season given by in munich time to find a suitable successor. and everybody here in the newsroom is talking about this in here with me now is jonathan green from our sports desk good to see you jonathan was this a good move by brian we're judging by some of the reactions we heard one of the

players there on social media yes it does seem to be a bastian schweinsteiger who played on the when he was last to buy and said he was pleased to see his former boss back and if you read the statement byron pitts out they say there is a great deal of trust between and by now where i think billy who missed the club president was instrumental in bringing kids back because that's it was only one club he would come out of retirement for that was by and and he will now have to steady this ship their five points behind the top of the bundesliga they had a frame barrus in defeat in their first champions of a game so he will need to come in a steady hand he knows the club knows how it works and knows what's expected ok so a steady hand but it's only until the end of the season what do you realistically achieve in that short amount of time well i think the concern is that he's been out of the game for more than four years certainly that was something he was considering when he was deciding whether to take the job on again. football styles

change tactics. ange and some of brian's big rivals percy dortmund and hoffenheim play a very attacking pressing style behind is a very astute tactician and he's also known as a disciplinarian and i think that's been one of brian's problems this season we saw it with some of the senior players rebelling semi some disharmony in the dressing room as well not be able to or try to bring the dressing room together he speaks spanish because he coached in spain previously said by whom i've got a quite a big spanish speaking element in this squad the likes of alter of a don hamm as if he can kind of bring those factions together then who knows what he could achieve ok i hope you got your crystal ball with you because i'm going to ask you to read the tea leaves who do you think will replace it it's a difficult one but everyone is pointing towards julian goldman over the days when when he was originally thanked and thomas took over for my birthday dortmund codes were immediately linked with the job now we understand that room and you've got to

buy and chairmen favorite thomas took over the room and ego was the man who brought it to the clubs and now it seems like it's her. he has made no secret that he wants those men but maybe at the end of the season to give an argument a bit more time at hoffenheim so seems to be a compromise where the buy in will then be able to land the man they want which just seems to be union algos men will have to wait and see until the end of the time will tell jonathan green thank you so much for talking to us thank you. all right read your are watching you don't have a lot more to tell you about here's what's still ahead. police in kenya's capital nairobi are trying to contain opposition protests to his trainers want to see consequences over august or cancel the presidential vote we'll go live to nairobi. deadly storms have been making headlines for months now from the caribbean to rake here in germany we check out an exhibit on how short on long term weather patterns are shaping our culture art we'll be right back don't go away.

and white. in countries like russia china turkey people are told it's that's not 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 deli. great to have you back with us you're watching the t.v. news on my lockable and this is our main story right now. 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's efforts to the stablish a global treaty outlawing the devastating weapons at

a time of renewed nuclear tensions. and over on karl as man is here with me to talk more about the a prize winner good to see you a call a first off a lot of people were taken off guard by surprise so why i can now will be the nobel prize committee they've been kind of explaining some of this reasoning behind the pick today of their. she's doing that on social media and it turns out that the mission behind i can is actually very similar to some of nobel alfred nobel's last wishes take a look at what we mean here so the committee tweeted out this video today and this is actually alfred nobel's will if we can bring that up the committee said that the twenty seventeen nobel peace prize to icann has a solid grounding in alfred nobel's will so what is i mean the committee explained later in a press release that he left behind very specific instructions for how to hand out

the peace prize in fact they say that his will contains three different criteria for the prize and one of them is the advancement of disarmament and arms control and it continues i can work vigorously to achieve nuclear disarmament of course many people know mr nobel invented dynamite and other explosives and later in his life he became concerned because these were being used for military purposes so we became a bit of an advocate for disarmament so i think he would have approved of this pick maybe that influence the decision this seems like a very appropriate choice and now that you've explained that now the nobel committee has come out and denied any of those messages out there that this is a message for world leaders are you buying that explanation. i will give my opinion on that but many people do think that this might be a little bit political of the nobel committee they're staying neutral they're saying hey look this is not a message for anybody but it is not the case with icann itself if you look at their social media accounts they've been very direct and very critical in fact of president trump's nuclear not ambitions so to speak but the way he's been acting

with foreign policy and take a look at this is from their actual twitter account and it says it's unacceptable for states to reject diplomacy and threaten nuclear war don't listen to trump support nuclear ban here's another one this is in fact from the account of i can's executive director name is beatrice finn and she says donald trump threatens nuclear war rejects a poem. see 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 are the irresponsible ones and just two days ago she left no doubt about how she feels about the president very subtle here donald trump is a moron that was just two days ago so then they get this prize and she was asked actually asked about that exact tweet in the press conference today and here's her response. to those who 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. 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 we were joking earlier that might be the first like face plants of any nobel peace prize winner but seriously the nobel committee you know they're staying neutral but this could be kind of a validation of i can's efforts not only within the united nations but really just direct messaging against donald trump and other leaders around the world that are perhaps raising the threats of nuclear weapons being used in this era and i support you know they're all volunteers so this is such a great recognition thank you so much for craftsman for bringing us that side of the story greatly appreciated. all right we're going to move on now to east africa

where the u.s. says it's concerned that kenya's leaders are stoking tensions had over a rerun of the country's presidential election well that as police used tear gas to disperse opposition demonstrators and demonstrators in nairobi they're accusing the government of planning to rig the vote on october twenty sixth and are calling on the head of the electoral commission to quit. and correspondent catherine no one though is following the run up to that disputed election from nairobi catherine how serious were today's clashes or they seem very serious in the sense that we're seeing an increased number of people who are taking to the streets and taking part in these demonstrations we saw a large number of people especially in key sumo it's turning almost violent now as a lot of property was destroyed in nairobi as well as consumers we saw supermarkets

being looted and it seems like it's gaining momentum these protests that started about two weeks ago but it's gaining momentum as we get to the. twenty sixth election but we're also getting reports one report of one man who was shot by police allegedly that still hasn't been confirmed by the police service but we also saw police practicing restraint given you know in recent days they've been increasing accused of using excessive force so we're seeing momentum in monday could be a problem worse than today now as you heard the u.s. also weighed in says it's concerned that all sides are undermining the electoral commission and fueling tensions do you think that local leaders will be receptive to what the u.s. is saying will they listen. well it's highly unlikely right

now it seems that the local leaders a digging in their heels in terms of where they stand and their supporters seem to have very tunnel vision at this particular point in time we have the ruling party which is incumbent president who cannot his party the jubilee party which is insisting that it wants to amend the electoral law just before the election now if this law is passed it could tie the hands of the electoral commission and on the other hand we have the main opposition leader raila odinga insisting that his irreducible minimum reforms to the electoral commission must take place before the elections actually happen so we have two ends that seem to not want to discuss we have seen the electoral commission trying to reach out to both sides but what the government side seems to be a bit more receptive than the opposition so that if whatever the two weeks to the election date it's obsolete as to decide whether they want to talk it out or

not oh wait and count of course the stalk a little bit about the electoral commission because they seem to be in the eye of the storm how are they planning to prevent the sort of irregularities which prompted the supreme court to cancel august vote. i also thought they actually started a training session today for officials who will be at the grassroots level now these officials will be trained on how to handle the forms now you remember the forms well the major issue or a major issue in the petition that was presented to the supreme court so they're undergoing training for the next four days on how to handle the election come the election date but then we also have a new election team that will be handling the election from the secretariat level or under the commission so this team will not have sidelined embattled c.e.o. as richie lobo who has been accused of bungling the election so there's

a new team in place whether the opposition will take that as an olive branch or take that as the positive move is yet to be see so we're seeing a lot of preparations from there and they have tried to pull out any controversial figures that that could take part in this particular election catherine one though reporting from nairobi kenya thank you while staying in east africa it's been twelve years since the self-proclaimed lord's resistance army retreated from uganda leaving behind a trail of devastated communities millions of civilians suffered under the rebel groups brutal campaign of abductions rape and murder many remain scarred by the conflict and now a new initiative is giving medical and psychological support to victims some of whom have never seen a doctor. st joseph's hospital in northern uganda

here some two hundred patients are receiving treatment of the wounds they sustained during the lord's resistance army insurgency. millions were massacred mutilated tortured in sleeves and raped in the conflict between the l r a and government troops victor archon and his organization african my initiative network provides support for victims who until now have never seen a doctor such as o'meara james was abducted from. spent about seven months captivity. and captivity would be made to walk long distance but then as a process of touch or. leg. i have no problem with forgiving those who injured me as long as i'm healed it depends on my ability to become normal again but defines whether or not i can forgive.

omar james will walk again victor uses these success stories to convince the un and the european union to fund his project. he grew up in the midst of the violence and later worked as a journalist and reported from the conflict zone. ten years ago viktor quit his radio job to fully commit to his organization. many victims have not forgotten what happened to them. and you make peace tangible to people in justice and that's why we say people physical. it will help in the space for. many painful stories. in february two thousand and four l r a

troops stormed richter's home town and massacred hundreds of people many were abducted including vick. his older brother omar jeffery. here at the memorial site the people of commemorate those who were lost. the contrast lost just too much the debris depended to hatred in the country needs a prospect for national reconciliation. for baby atoms peace only arrived when she returned from hospital last year. as a single woman with a septic gunshot wound to her ankle she was shunned by the whole village until betty got help from a unit. you know man i came back from the hospital the biggest change in my life was that i felt accepted again in the

community previously i was alone i would walk in public and everyone would walk away from me i could smell myself everybody turned away i was stigmatized and not accepted not even in the church or in the market nowhere i smelled so badly now whatever. today victor is sending off another truckload of patients everybody's happy to get home and work the fields again without payment. let us try to make peace at reality not only. us we can sign treaties with. if it does not transform a life that is not based. in two thousand and fifteen victor was nominated for the nobel peace prize since then he has turned down prestigious job offers abroad because he knows that uganda is wounds are still a long way from being healed. and we have now to

a south africa where if that isn't a group in the grip of a drought and there's no relief in sight. the regional government of cape town is trying to make people more aware about water saving now less frequent and shorter showers no car washes in since june pools have not been allowed to be filled and cape town's tourism industry also has to do its bit. in cape town tourists are having to save water as well at this hotel shower water is collected in buckets. as is the dirty water from washing machines faced with drought hotels in cape town are trying to be practical soapy water for the plants is better than no water at all but with two and a half million tourists visiting cape town every year hotels are also the largest water consumers in the city and the current water scarcity is hitting the poorest the most. is the local every time they cut the water off i'm shocked they don't

even tell me before they do it what can i do i need water for the children to cook and wash. the region is experiencing the worst drought in more than a century. the rainy season came but with little relief the water was not enough to replenish the dams and it's a worrying weather pattern that looks set to continue. even in twenty fourteen the dams in cape town were only seventy three percent full and the water volume has been decreasing since then this year the dams were only twenty percent full and at the end of the rainy season the dams were only slightly more full than jur in the drought the previous year. cape town plans to invest almost twenty five million euros over the next two years to improve its work to pipelines which still cause a lot of water to be lost but they say loan will not be enough.

for some more analysis let's bring in phil of the veteran drabness burke is a correspondent for the mail on the garden newspapers philip this drought has been going on for months how are people coping with the constant shortage of water. well not securely well ok so it's years struggling and suffering significantly not only on the personal level we see trouble in the baby factory sick too it seems trouble in the agricultural sector and of course the drought also extends over the larger parts of the country into the eastern cape which is quite dependent on agriculture into the northern cape which is quite thin that's an agriculture and we have not found the ways to cope with that just like you know what's taken amik tall this drought has taken so far. it's hard to tell we know that tens of thousands of jobs have been lost already just how media is hard to count somewhere between twenty and slutty thousand people have already lost their jobs we know that

upwards of ninety percent of businesses in their waist and cape that is across services manufacturing agricultural ninety percent of those businesses a sighting is a number one concern at the moment the world situation approximately fifty percent of south africa's total agricultural exports which of sites will explode for us come from the waste and most of those and distrait now and that's of course before the dams dry out its entirety not speaking of the dams the mayor of cape town says the day when all the dams will be unusable they zeroed for that matter is just six months away are authorities doing enough to prevent the scenario. not as such what's in place at the moment of issues such as reducing the pressure of a lot of or all to reduce leakage just to very closely monitor and releases find people who don't stick to the water restrictions but we know that that is not enough we know that ciro day is approaching so the plans that are being made at the moment is

where exactly to situate or to dam post how many soldiers you will need to protect those day posts and then how to manage the lines when people come with buckets to get to collect the danger action of water and fire the britney cape town is located right by the atlantic ocean wouldn't more desalinization plants solve the problem they would unfortunately they quite expensive moldy sanitation plants are due to come online in december they will not be enough but will be added problem is the money to run those and as the economy struggles under the drought that many years running riot is one for the bad and janice byrne thank you so much for your insight . so well having enough water will be a more pressing issue in the future as the world's population is estimated to increase to about ten billion people by the air twenty fifty and another important question humanity is facing will be how are we going to feed all these people

traditional farming will likely not yield enough but alternatives are on the horizon a dutch company says it will have made it will have artificial meat ready for the market in just three years. there's nothing like the taste of a freshly cooked before but mark post wants it without the beef the researcher has been busy for more than a decade developing a method to artificially grow muscle tissue in a lab test tube of beef so to speak then in twenty thirteen came the breakthrough. the stem cells he needs can come from a steak or a cow or the animal doesn't even need to be slaughtered the first bucket created from the artificial meat cost around two hundred fifty thousand euros but mark says his idea is on the verge of revolutionizing the way we eat my personal vision is that at some point you know twenty thirty forty years from now we will eat culture

no longer for us i will probably look back at this time as sort of barbaric that we still killed animals and used animals to such a degree for our meat consumption. but until then he's got competition there are other future foods on the horizon insects for example are packed with protein and nourishing snack even if many westerners can't yet to bring themselves to fight between the liquor locust a whole host of looking to convince shoppers otherwise. other companies are placing their bets on plant based nourishment the hoping to better use the space that cereals all vegetables need to grow to that and then looking up literally vertical gardening could soon be making a contribution to the diets of people worldwide. from the caribbean to right here in germany deadly storms are making headlines

around the globe while the weather isn't everyone's lips whether they're climate activists or climate change deniers a new exhibit ad germany's a federal art and exit exhibit is looking at the issue of whether past. present and future through history science and culture the show weather report opens this weekend as the city is gearing up to host this year's u.n. climate change conference the cop twenty three. and our very own a david levy is here to talk more about this museum show of course not an ordinary one it's picked to a major international conference so what are organizers concretely hoping to accomplish with this well germany is a country of the takes climate change pretty seriously relative to other countries and i think the curators wanted to show the extent of this issue climate climate whether it's not just science it affects our moods it affects our behaviors our

economies even our culture so they've taken a very broad approach to tackle a very broad topic. 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 there him into bite about climate is a communication problem it's too loaded with facts and statistics we're taking another approach whether it's climate that we experience. our exhibition is taking an interdisciplinary approach we're going to show and give equal weight to every day couple 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 painter john constable. american artist geoffrey

hendricks 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. and david it's just amazing how weather science and technology all influence our culture we just saw in that report the wind god and for many of us life without air conditioning yours truly included would be kind bearable or you're talking to the right person here i grew up in florida where conditioning was invented and anyone who's been to florida knows that there's a there's a reason for that you can even possibly think this is not a place that was made for human and have it. and i actually believe that if anyone tried to take it away that would be enough to spark the next american civil war but

it just shows you how fragile we are as creatures and how much the weather really does affect us not just our army but also our productivity not today. we've also got you know a plethora of weather apps satellite images of storms how has that changed our cultural perspective well i mean really still get wet in the rain you know virtually no i think i think it just shows us even more how little control we have right because you know you can look outside of this guy's blue and we can watch on a satellite image a horrible storm coming our way and gives us a chance to prepare but we can't really stop it can we this exhibition really shows how far we've come in bad science you know people used to pray for rain now we're trying even though. we're trying to control the weather on a global scale and in the exhibition we've got this piece of art it's called sunrise bike it's by. an artist who's even created microclimates and

a waterfall that was unthinkable a few centuries ago in this instrument was cutting edge it's not a coconut shell it's a seventeenth century instrument used to demonstrate atmospheric pressure and before that catholics used to pray to saint barbara she's the patron saint of people caught in storms yes there's a patron saint for that the story behind that is that her father executed her because she wouldn't marry the man he wanted to and he was then struck dead by lightning so. conference coming up i think you know she might be a good she might be a good internet meme to show the dangers of climate change denial saying barbara and david we've got more on our website we do that's a. culture all right have a fantastic weekend david great to have you on you too well all right now before i let you go i want to remind our viewers of our top stories here is what we're following for you right now. this year's nobel peace prize has been awarded to the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons the nobel committee in oslo
