dortmund a seventeen year old lead the way as a club the bands and the fans of their title. i'm brian thomas a very warm welcome to the show these. strained relations between germany and turkey will be tested further today as the trial begins for a german human rights activist arrested in istanbul in july. is one of eleven germans currently imprisoned in turkey says he had been wrongfully detained and has been campaigning strongly for his release now he was arrested more than three months ago while giving a workshop to other human rights activists in istanbul he's being tried along with the others including the director of amnesty international in turkey. start now stands accused of links to an armed terrorist group and of having ties to the man

allegedly behind last year's failed coup that's the islamic cleric to a girl and now if convicted showing a faces up to fifteen years in prison this trial is putting relations between the two countries to the test and the german foreign minister gabriele has called the threat of a long prison sentence in comprehensible and unacceptable. for more on this we have with us now our correspondent dorian jones at the supreme court in aston ball . durian turkey's accusing him of having ties to the banned cleric who's now living in the united states and they say that he was behind the last year's failed coup what what evidence do they have that story was in fact tied to that coup or two two for. well very little in fact that's why there is so much outrage over this case prosecutors claim that along with eleven of the defendants were part

of a conspiracy to create civic on breast across turkey that would aim to unseat the turkish president type further one but the evidence in the seventeen page indictment appears to be very little it relies heavily on publications made by amnesty international put into the public domain even they've use a tweet which said enjoy the boat right to the island where this meeting was going to it was attending to enjoy their rights so there is outrage over this case because there is absolutely very little evidence although prosecutors can under emergency rule powers introduce new evidence in today's hearings so everyone is waiting whether the prosecutors have anything to add to it but for now at least there is very little ok well if the evidence proves to continue to be so flimsy does the defense have a good chance of getting this case dismissed. well if there was one or more

judicial system than ult definitely yes but two turkeys under emergency rule there's a lot of criticism of the judicial system is very arbitrary increasingly linked to the political whims and wishes in her speaking to amnesty and fish oils their contacts with her officials doing the case that there possibly they could be some of those defendants released at least from pretrial detention but having said that the turkish president yesterday gave a very tough speech against europe accusing them of meddling in turkey's affairs and that could cause a shadow over those hopes ok what's the endgame for turkey with this trial what does it want to achieve with it. well that is a big question and there isn't growing suspicion to in particular that the tension of peter's story and the swedish i league are of the that they all become poles in congress negotiations with its european partners is calling for germany to extradite a number of people it claims were involved in last year's coup and there's a suspicion that story could be part of some bargain there is growing outrage

particularly also in the us that turkey using turkey of using similar tactics with american citizens detained in turkey on christianly denies if they insist on the judiciary is independent but as the as that attention of story and it continues along with a number of other german citizens the suspicion is that they are pawns in this growing tension between. dorian jones following the story for us at turkey's supreme court in istanbul thanks very much for that door now for some of the other stories making the news this hour in bangkok the five day funeral ceremonies started working. tens of thousands of mourners have been filing into the historic order of thailand's capital to bid farewell to the monarch whose body has been lying in state since he died last october aged eighty eight. the kurdistan regional government in iraq has offered to an all the results of last

month's independence referendum that in order to hold talks with baghdad iraqi forces have driven kurdish fighters from cities in the north outside their autonomous zone an overwhelming majority of iraqi kurds voted for independence but the central government has rejected the result. the u.s. ban on all refugees has now ended after one hundred twenty days nationals from eleven countries believed to pose a high risk to the u.s. will face tough scrutiny officials have not named those countries but say people will be judged on a case by case basis. well sexual harassment assault and rape accusations aimed at hollywood film producer harvey weinstein of triggered a flood of other similar reports around the world the news website politico has published disclose come play in spite of the seven women and six men working for example at the e.u. headquarters in brussels some women like going

a hot and tweeted their stories of how men harassed them using the hash tag me too she says when it came to furthering my career in brussels but seeing and working for him every day i chose to leave other allegations include people being offered employment in exchange for sex young women being sent to bars to trade sexual favors for legislative outcomes and of men being bullied joining us now is terry ryan key member of the german parliament for the greens in straws burg where the european parliament is set to hold an emergency session thanks so much for being with us right now you know you yourself have reported an experience of sexual harassment not in the e.u. parliament but out on the streets of germany you reported it to the police also spoke about the incident in parliament now hearing the allegations coming out of straws berg. what are your feelings about that how do you see that.

well i must say that it confirms my view that sexual harassment is still a widespread problem in our society and it also confirms my determination that we have to fight against this now don't you know society's but also very specifically here in the european parliament and today we are discussing what measures we have to take in order to prevent things like this happening in the future ok well the parliament has in fact taken steps to do that it's signed on to the convention it has its own in-house methods and even in office for dealing with sexual harassment why have these measures failed. well what we see is that we have an end to arrest men committee and harassment has been reported to this committee but not specifically sexual harassment because we live in a society where sexual harassment is still specifically stigmatized so we want to look at these mechanisms and see how we can improve them so that we have

a climate of openness so that women who are affected by these kinds of cases that they can come up to committees of different bodies in this parliament get help and support and of course that there will be consequences for the perpetrator is ok you want to improve the mechanisms already in place you think would help to bring in an independent investigation into what exactly happened at the parliament strong. indeed because we would like to also get extra expertise about what are the things that we are doing at the moment and how could we improve this but we also believe that training for example of staff members is of great importance because many of the women who have reported in media outlets they said that they didn't even know that there were committees so there were bodies that they could have reported to in the european parliament so we also need to improve the knowledge about the existing mechanisms that are already in place ok what do you expect to come out of the debate on this issue in the e.u.

parliament. what i hope that we will have a very determined cause for action in the parliament but i also hope that we will bring this from the european parliament to the parliaments and to other parts of society to fight against any form of sexual harassment and we believe that not only the full accession to the stumble convention is important for this but also a directive on the european level that goes against sexual harassment by against any form of finance against women because in hollywood but also in so many other parts of our societies this is still so common and so except that obviously we would also need legislative steps in order to fight against it ok terry ryan thanks so much for that member of the german parliament for the greens in strong's bridge hall that debate today thanks very much. thank you ok new supreme court is set to hear a last minute petition to delay thursday's presidential election now if the vote

goes ahead it would be the second time kenyans voted last three months the first presidential election in august was an old by the supreme court due to regularities dozens of people have died in violence since that disputed vote catherine sent us this report. on musher day or heroes day kenya celebrates those who fought for independence people from far and wide came last friday to nairobi's main park to listen to president hu kenyatta's address the event is usually filled with pomp and color with children getting the most out of the entertainment but this year and easiness hangs of the canyons including james drug and his family. after the supreme court and all the elections there's been a lot of tension but we pray to god that we'll have an election and have peace on and thereafter. says that you can use electoral commission has faced numerous

challenges since the announcement on september first the chairman of the commission has not quite conceded that he's under siege and still insists the commission can deliver an election on the twenty sixth the main opposition party insists the commission must get its house in order before it holds an election opposition supporters have taken to the streets demanding reforms within the commission but government supporters like james say the electoral commission is already capable of organizing a repeat poll. that we elect commission should stay as it is and shouldn't be changed it's independent and it will respect the democratic rights of kenyans i believe there will be voters in every polling station in the country where we walk in the water so i do think. as we approach the twenty sixth of october kenya remains a divided country on one hope you have a population that is willing to support incumbent president hu hu kenya or any of

the really party and the other half of the population that the chords may be opposition leader right loud now according to this part of the population they claim that incumbent president kenyatta has a few of them from his government in three to. in two thousand and thirteen. an informal settlement in the capital is a perceived opposition stronghold supporters of right loading guests not this year's celebrations most stayed indoors mourning those killed during opposition protests with no i cannot vote with an order from i cannot vote i voted last time they came you have a short people and i watch i'm not voting because i like to do what i'm not into many of them don't know everything that happened and again i read my constitution and look at me constitution everywhere i go to them i don't have any to do but i want to understand what is fair and i understand so i'm not going to box and i'm going to predict other people like my mother who didn't go to school who doesn't

reports are just coming in that kenya's chief justice says the supreme court cannot proceed with hearing a petition to delay the election because there are not enough judges present to hear the case will update you as you receive more details on that story. this is deja vu news still to come on the show we turn our attention to german car bakshi where dortmund hoped a date with a lower league opposition would help them recover their mojo. something like cancer has done is presented some fantastic results and what are investors doing brian i don't quite get it because not on the shares down currently in front thirty despite those sterling results as brian mentioned the airline posted its best ever results in the history of the company for the first nine months of the year and a twelve percent increase in total revenue for the period now then the european aviation market is undergoing drastic changes from british low cost carrier monarch

to germany's number two airline but air berlin all the way to italian flagship kariya alitalia they have all folded their demise there is look tons as fortune. germany's largest airline love to answer seems to have an insatiable appetite after buying a large chunk of bankrupt lin the carry a now wants parts of beleaguered italian rival al italia would love tons of most interested in the aircraft in the landing slots thousands could be laid off even so full of tons of expansion is the name of the game in twenty sixteen the carrier flu some one hundred ten million passengers nearly two percent more than in twenty fifteen that growth didn't come from its full service carry a look tons of but it's budget euro wings for the first time lufthansa's passenger figures were overtaken by ireland by its low cost carrier ryanair the sector remains very competitive times i'm still grow and stay ahead without forking out

huge amounts of money that's more than a survival strategy but antitrust authorities could spoil the party they'll be reviewing with a lot of times that is gaining a monopoly position on too many groups as its buying spree continues. well and another industry heavyweight presented is quoted a report today french car maker p s a situ and that is going by the numbers the company apparently had a pretty good third quarter revenue climbed to fifteen billion euros that's up more than thirty percent business group also thanks to the takeover of embattled rival opel p.s.a. acquired to the long time general motors in august for two point two billion euros making the french company europe's second largest car maker. and one will mark it actually let's cross over now to danielle correspondent at the frankfurt stock exchange daniel impressive earnings there for p.s.a.

what's what's the main driver for growth and what's the future have in store for them. well from the investor's perspective certain the very impressive numbers moniker with this piece is even getting closer to the biggest competitor volkswagen read a statement a little bit earlier from the c.e.o. of of p.s.a. saying now with opel being part off the pier as a family those synergies is now allowing the company to grow faster and also to make more money the outlook of course big companies still the integration needs some time and also still going problems here in germany with worker union and worker councils ok then let's talk about something positive to get in because i believe the business sentiment in germany is looking pretty good right now. yeah the business climate index just came out a few moments ago actually indicating that after two rounds it's actually growing

again and went up from one hundred fifteen to one hundred and sixteen points indicating that there's a pretty good mood among c.e.o.'s here in germany also with a very positive outlook for the next coming six months ok then i hope that the outlook for the weather in frankfurt is also improving daniel cope there reporting for us thank you very much. well the european parliament has called for weed killer to life a sate to be phased out in the next five years the non-binding vote comes as representatives from the twenty eight member nations are to meet later today to discuss whether to extend the license for the controversial herbicide and if so for how long well europe has been debating the use of life aside for more than two years it's the most commonly used herbicide in the world in europe farmers spread life aside on around half of all fields used to raise commercial crops but the we kill is highly controversial due to concerns it could have an impact on human and

environmental health today the e.u. will try once again to decide whether manufacturers can continue to sell the controversial product on european markets many critics demand a ban on life inside activists began applying pressure in brussels at the beginning of the week. the international agency for research on cancer of the world health organization has found that life was it causes cancer in animals and probably also in humans means that there's urgent need for action studies don't agree on with life aside is a long term cancer risk or not the world health organization has said it could pose a danger the food safety authority has proclaimed the chemicals harmless but has also been accused of basing that opinion on studies sponsored by clive for site manufacturer a month center greens in the european parliament say that's not acceptable. we need to look at independent studies not just ones carried out by the industry and we

have to finally end this thing with life a site there is a standard farming methods that work fine without the heavy use of chemicals. by standard farming methods hoisting means organic agriculture but many families say those methods are too expensive and think it's enough to only ban the use of head the side directly before the harvest conservative m a p s disagree with the greens but blame member states for not reaching a decision i find it very regrettable that for more than two years the member states don't have a clear position they're always postponing there's no majority for any position if member states don't come to a conclusion today the european commission will make the decision in their place and these protesters want like it because it's almost certain to allow the continued use of glyphosate. thought i wonder how this kind of debate would play out in china because the leadership there is in a very strong position brize in such a strong position we're talking about china's most powerful leader since mouat

chinese president xi jinping has been confirmed for a second term as the country's leader she was selected as secretary general of the communist party's ruling council now the other leaders alongside him are either loyalists or a lot threaten him the party didn't did not select clear successor now that is a break with president critics say the concentration of so much power in one person is a troubling development especially for human rights and the rule of law. talk about this more let's bring in mathias bollinger who joins us from beijing ts g.'s hold on power now has been cemented is being called the most powerful man since mo where does he want to take china. he wants to make china more powerful that's what he has said from the beginning. and he wants to have the communist party even more powerful in china so i guess we will see here on

repression we will see a tighter grip of the communist party not only on society but also on the economy and his foreign policy we will see a strengthening of foreign investment that's very clear he has not only managed to enshrined his own name in the party constitution but also one of his favorite projects the one belt one road project which tends at building an infrastructure a chinese dominated infrastructure and infrastructure in the world so more. more chinese investments and more chinese assertiveness in the on the world stage and that is the part of congress that just wrapped up so a real break with the communist party tradition it did not appoint a successor to the new confirmed leader what do you make of that it's. well this seems to be a clear sign that she jinping is hoping to get

a third term as a as as a party general secretary he cannot stand third term as a president but anyway the party post is the most important one. talking about successes of course these successes that have been built within the second term usually of somebody. to term in office they have never been named successors but it was very clear from their position that they were going to be in the in a circle of candidates this time we can exclude this because all of the of the members of the standing committee of the party are two odes to the this excess of cd and being in two thousand and twenty two. he will probably try to get his two or term in office. in his village or from for us from beijing this morning thanks very much for that and yes some spores into the german cup now football fans were

following the actions closely as top of the table dortmund travel to third division magda berg a team known though for upsets but dortmund came mentally prepared for that. magdeburg fans made every effort including that huge terrifying monster graphic in the stands to try to intimidate the big name club but the big name club was having none of it starting with skinny number fourteen in the middle seventeen year old alexander e-zine in his competitive debut for dortmund ease uk set up then salo castro for the opening goal a nice knock down header making it easy the swedish forward helped himself just after the break guiding the ball through goalkeeper alexander brown's slags to make it to no penalty made it three and then dortmund thanks to shinji kagawa added two more to complete the route the guy was cross to mark bartra made it a four goal difference. and then he added his own go off of

a pass for maximillian philip. dortmund desert albeit against third division competition. well sometimes a small note can make a big difference a note from albert einstein describing the key to happiness as sold for about one point five million dollars at an auction drew slim einstein gave the piece of handwritten advice to japanese bellboy after the scientists found out he had no cash on hand to tip of now the auction note reads a calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness putting began at two thousand dollars at escalating quickly before the note went to a mystery buyer for a cool million and a half. a year mine are now of our top stories this hour the trial for the german human rights activist paper story set to begin today in turkey stuart was arrested in july in istanbul on terrorism related charges case has become
