this is due to the news line from berlin catalonia is parliament the clearest in the pendants from spain thousands of separatists supporters are gathered outside the regional government palace in barcelona to celebrate the vote the motion passed even though the opposition walked out but despite the festivities the spanish

senate has moved to rescind catalonia as autonomy where barcelona and madrid also coming up new clashes in kenya claimed more lives as the country continues to grapple with the fallout from a repeat presidential election will get the latest from nairobi. and it's the end of an era for air berlin almost four decades after the airlines first take off today is the last ever flight landing rate here in the german capital. plus a new exhibit in the german city of possum is highlighting the works from ernest who lived and worked in the former east germany well look at their struggle for artistic expression under the communist regime. it's great to have you along we begin. with those developments out of spain where

the country senate has approved government proposals to take control of catalonia it comes just after catalonia is regional parliament voted in favor of declaring independence from spain while the vote for independence followed a fiery debate in the cattle out of parliament with opposition lawmakers walking out in protest with the separatist members of the cats and parliament singing their unofficial national anthem in the wake of the vote a call on all caps or lands for a peaceful defense of their land with the opposition politicians had long since left the chamber refusing to take part in the votes. leaving the parliament's president to announce a clear majority in favor of declaring independence there says the resolution was carried by seventy votes for ten against and two abstentions. the question now how would madrid react prime minister mariano rajoy asked the

senate to give him the right to strip the catalan government of its powers. because they do not follow the law in the process of democracy because they endanger our current existence they divide society they damage the economy and the prosperity of a citizen missile economy are going to start there are a few other. of the senate voted by a big majority to activate article one five five this allows madrid to take control of cats and finances and policing overruling the regional government the central government also wants new elections in catalonia for his part the separatist leader collis pushed him all his urging catalans not to give way in the arm wrestling with mccreight. while the outcome of both parliament sessions has been described as historic plunging both madrid and barcelona further into uncertainty and we have team coverage of these the breaking developments in barcelona charlotte charleston

hill and covering events from madrid is martin roberts good evening to you burch i want to start off with you of course so we're just a couple hours later now since that unprecedented a new for a kind of penance declaration inside the parliament the square first the mood outside right now. a lot of i think he's got a bit. three he was a. problem and all the things that people love that phrase that coming. out. so you think. you know right thing like oh. thank god this. thing the real. thing thanks i think.

think think think. think think think think think think think think think you think people think it's just the building that's right i'm writing to a general joint make sure the right is not in a state when placed there it's ok charlotte to have a little bit of difficulty here hearing you because of the crowd behind you and that there are celebrating this decision and martin want to bring you into the conversation i don't know if you caught some of what charlotte was reporting and there is some apprehension that spain might come in there in a couple of hours and arrest the leadership explain to us in practical terms of how is madrid planning on implementing direct role. well promised and i don't recall you stoop to give details in

a few minutes of an emergency cabinet meeting that's just been held to officially set wheels in motion what they're expected to do is to begin by making official dismissed the council on need a telescope to mark his paranoias and also probably be a police chief now as we said the difference between saying something and doing something somewhat were on the other hand the central government of the minor groundwork for weeks now there's a chance for thousands upon thousands of additional so guards national who restructure alongside who are going to direct the other thing they think they're taking control of has a longer. so really they control the streets already and they also have control money now the other thing to cross. it is massive demonstrations trying to prevent let's say a possible rest of the militia going to have to try very dangerous to prevent the

countess and. pendants first one pictures a response one bottle i'm very very very. right and you can forget those images charlotte i don't know if you can hear me how is the carolina leadership planning on carrying its plan to break away from spain are you seeing any procedure has been put into place for the next couple of hours or days to come. we have been on the story really direct and i just think this is the place right now is the opportunity for people to celebrate. i. think it's very important to make. you. think that you are fully everybody here is. remember the people who didn't even in the

referendum make it because they did what we. did going to take place and opinion polls suggest these people really represent. the people here . this is a very it's a region at the moment as we push them and i think the easiest way to see what happens with madrid what the next move is going to be but he really is a man who is probably a number when it comes to his time in charge and perhaps even his freedom. martin i want to come back to you in madrid have people reacted there where you are to these extraordinary events unfolding in. not to talk i mean just work for a. place we're. absolutely

normal just that you. can represent your. own usually one of the. recent weeks we have seen. you know demonstrations. right now a charlotte this is been such a high wire act now for some time actually the word is out now that would you describe having been the sense of relief among account lines or is this still an uneasy calm before the strongest part of course the very celebrations happening right behind you. there's certainly a sense of relief among people who i hear honestly at certain points rather doubt the day didn't look like this was going to happen it didn't look like we're going to see what is behind me here that made that much of the yes it looks like mission one might actually not didn't happen that we didn't see that he didn't get a number in scenes from the government imagery that they wouldn't impose direct rule if the whole day the election and now we have this but as i pointed out hours

of relief was not shared by people who are in this independence movement a lot of people very very nervous about one thing to happen next the good for the economy there's the questions about what effect is that predicted to have a negative impact on the money and people really violent on the street something that we've already seen in barcelona we sort of the time of the referendum on a table and there's a real fear that when the coming. direct rule in the building to find. the real resistance from these people. martin this is a charge question are we witnessing the unraveling of spain in its current form is the beginning of the end. oh well only time will tell. i mean explain to certainly get smaller catalunya doesn't mean that. they will be

absent holding out very very clear. yourself as if they do march the concert. but. you know they'll be outside do you know which again. i mean basically yes trying to get on the other hands. time well more international support and of course logistics on sunday the spanish government and it could be how long how much of something when the only problem of course is there's a lot of people are going to get caught up in the middle and it will have remembered . the sixty percent i mean also people here are still some are in on the prospect of. a gentle thank you for reminding us of that as well of course that's a whole nother thing that spain and the catalonia will also have to deal with the thank you so much for martin roberts reporting from madrid and of course our very

own a daily show itself some help covering those unfolding historic unfolding events in barcelona thank you for your continued coverage. let's get reaction now from brussels where our very own max hoffman is the correspondent he's standing by monitoring at developments there as well first up mike's i want to start off by asking you what you've heard from high ranking officials about these extraordinary events unfolding in spain. we called the e.u. commission our contacts there and asked them if they had anything to add now that independence at least seems to be on the way after the vote of the cattle in parliament but no they don't have anything to add and they didn't have anything to add today at the media briefing either that's a briefing that we have every day here they are sticking to their line they're only talking to one person and one person only and that's the prime minister of spain roy but there's one tweet by the council president that you council don't know and he stuck to that line to said they're only interlocutor israel hard but then he added a little twist and that's interesting because he did say and i quote here i hope

the spanish government favors force of argument not argument before so that's a clear message to a holy something that none of those high ranking politicians has done not to crack down with police force no matter what happens in the next days and max in practical terms if catalonia. successfully are there any consequences when it comes you know can it still be part of the european union. that's exactly the point i mean for the european union and first there are no consequences that would still have twenty eight member states as of now but one of the member states would have gotten smaller that is spain but for catalonia the consequences would be much more dramatic it would most likely by all accounts by the accounts of everybody we've talked to not be part of the european union any longer it would have to reapply for membership until then you have tariffs until then you have border controls and we know how complicated this whole process can be only by looking towards the united

kingdom with their brags it so that would have huge impact on that region. and that max of course there have been those the calls from the catalan leadership for the e.u. to act as an honest broker they've gone on answered why i mean couldn't you have played a very constructive role in all of this. but it's a tried and true method for the you are there is to step in as mediators when the two parties involved can't really talk to each other anymore and that seems to be the point where we are at the moment i mean the catalan government in the spanish government have huge trouble communicating with each other that has gotten worse there seems to be the impasse but you really can't do anything as long as ra is so the spanish government doesn't ask them for help the e.u. is a system of nation states the e.u. is the nation state so if the e.u. institutions let's say the commission would go behind the back of one of those nation states of spain and say listen we're just going to talk to catalonia if you want to or not that would be a huge breach of trust it would be

a huge problem for the e.u. institutions and on top of that they wouldn't be in accordance with the rule of law because everybody here brussels agrees that catalonia is not in line with the spanish constitution so if the e.u. commission let's say did that against the will of the national government of spain that would cause tremendous problems all right no easy solutions there max hoffman reporting on the spanish breaking news event so thank you so much australia's government has lost its one seat parliamentary majority after the country's top court disqualified the deputy prime minister from office for holding doors as a ship barnaby joyce unknowingly held new zealand citizenship through descent when he was elected last year while he since we're now to second citizenship i will stand again in a byelection in the senate well until then prime minister malcolm turnbull will preside over a minority government and he says it will be business as usual while joyce says he

accepts the court's ruling and has vowed to fight on take a listen. as a tough guy in politics and you're good you needed it so she taught to it and you know you take hits and take but you know we all bought the ticket we know the risks and. now i'm going to make sure that i don't promise be i'm going to get back to work and work hard for the people mollett would like to give me leave and make sure that i do the best job for monash and which is where boys for the day. are want to tell you now about some of the other stories making news around the world. the united nations says the government of syrian president bashar al assad was responsible for a chemical weapons attack that killed at least eighty people in april a report coauthored by the u.n. says the government used deadly sarin nerve gas against the rebel held town of hunchy horn syria denies using chemical weapons. the world food program says when mars government has given the go ahead for it to resume aid operations to reinjure muslims in the northern state the u.n.

agency suspended its work in august after me and mar security forces began targeting their were in job hundreds of thousands have since fled into neighboring bangladesh. the united states has released several thousand previously secret files to the assassination of president john f. kennedy back in one nine hundred sixty three all this after congress ordered them to be declassified president trump passed our ever agree to intelligence agencies request to withhold some items for further review. to white south africans have been given long jail terms for forcing a black man into a coffin and threatening to kill him the judge said the men showed no remorse for this racist crime the case caused outrage in south africa more than two decades after the end of apartheid. as polling officers in

kenya count ballots from the country's presidential election rerun ordinary people are counting the cost of a divisive vote one person has been killed in clashes between protesters and police today but in the overall death toll to at least five ok and here has been locked in political uncertainty since the supreme court another presidential elections held back in august. the streets of kenya's capital nairobi are unusually quiet worried about the prospect of violence many are staying indoors those few who have ventured out have had enough after months of political tension. that i would like politics to quieten down so we can continue with our work we don't want people to fight or kill each other we want kenya to be peaceful. time or thought up with politics we want life to continue as normal. our incomes are being hurt and we are struggling. old we are tired of politics. thursday's repeat

elections were marred by skirmishes between police and opposition supporters the clashes stop some ten percent of polling stations from opening and delayed voting in many others in the kibera slum area of nairobi the situation was particularly tense. they decided to keep people from the voting exercise there because very difficult for us because we had a lot of around us from the road to youths who want to talk to the polling officials. the. voting in four counties was initially postponed until saturday because of the unrest. opposition leaders continued to call on their supporters to boycott the vote citing security concerns. everything has its own time. the first thing we are trying to convey to our people at this point in time is that the forced repeat election tomorrow. we want to make sure

that they're not injured and with a limb to stay away because they might walk into a trap where there will be india that is our priority we don't want any lives to be lost. because of the new outbreak and violence election officials announced that the new runoff would be delayed until further notice as counting continues officials said just over a third of registered voters cast a ballot on thursday some have heeded the call to boycott all but assuring a victory on paper for current president oher kenyatta who cast his vote in a jubilant mood but the real one looks as if it will fail to ease the conflict. a very tense situation right now in kenya you can take you to the capital nairobi now where correspondent is with kamandi is reporting from edith have we learned more about the fit of result. the results are

changing obviously every hour as the electoral body continues to feed more of the numbers that they're receiving and this is a process expected to continue in the coming days however there was confusion and a little bit of concern earlier this morning because the electoral commission had said that forty eight percent of the registered voters had participated in the election but later this morning they reviewed that number down what's now of course a lot of kenyans looked at this suspiciously because the main reason why there was a rerun of the election was because there was a problem with the tallying of the votes in august of so all eyes are squarely now on the electoral body to make sure they get it right this time around and tell us a little bit about those four districts that were supposed to have separate reruns tomorrow but we understand that they've been delayed again we're working towse about that they haven't the electoral body says that it is due to insecurity or other security concerns in those four regions they did add two other counties as part of the places that would get

a reelection and those two areas specifically will be able to continue on with the vote of the people from the regions that have been affected where voting has been suspended indefinitely actually actually reacted joyfully to the news saying that they didn't want to participate in the election in the first place they're not going to participate in any kind of rerun and no matter when the data sets they will still boycott the election taking that into consideration what you've just alluded to only a third of the registered voters went to the polls compared to the eighty percent back in august can we call this election a legitimate election. this is a question that a lot of kenyans are grappling with particularly on social media obviously there is one half of the country that participated in the vote and another half that either chose not to participate or could participate for one reason or the other but analysts have been quick to say that people stayed away from the poll because of various reasons not just because of the boycott that was called by the opposition

but because of rain which affected a lot of voting areas and also people who are not potus and these are people who stayed away from the from the election protesting of various institutions including the judiciary and the electoral bodies saying they don't trust it and they don't think these bodies are acting independently. to do it is come on reporting from the kenyan capital nairobi thank you. five weeks after hurricane maria wreaked havoc on the caribbean there are few signs of a let up in the humanitarian crisis in puerto rico all more than seventy five percent of the u.s. territory remains without electricity no power there and in some places power is expected to be out for months now only a third of puerto ricans have no access to clean water with fatal consequences just yesterday two people died after contracting water borne diseases and many more have been if infected well adding to the suffering medicine is in very short supply

medical professionals say help is desperately needed for the devastate for this devastated island while many have criticized the government in washington for dragging its feet so volunteer groups are stepping in to help the people of puerto rico and my colleague jared reed has more on that story jared good to see you thanks for coming in so who are these groups else more about that it's nine latin americans really who feel like the government's not working fast enough so in addition to the federal agencies that you just mentioned we've also got every day people who are banding together to to try and get supplies to puerto rico and these are fairly new groups that have sprung up recently in response to hurricane harvey and hard in on the u.s. mainland and now they're turning their attention to puerto rico and using social media particularly facebook to raise not only awareness bought actual supplies to get them to the island it's a cross-section of american society as i'm going to show you we're going to look at

two of those groups now the first one let's take a look at that it's cold veteran disaster relief it's headed by a former u.s. army scout he and he's quite small team deliver things like water food and medicine to some of the remote areas that authorities and relief agencies just on getting to the pictures you're seeing he were taken just a few days ago you can see puerto rico really is still a complete mess the groups also doing. important work like gathering dasa gathering information from the people there about the destruction and pasta get on to experts there's another group doing work in puerto rico called the american black cross they were founded by the black lives matter group in dallas and i say they're trying to be a responsible alternative to the corporate style charities they even managed to charter a plane filled with food water and generators true to northwest of puerto rico and more supplies that that group has gathered are on their way so just two examples of

everyday people who've managed to get organize get themselves together and use social media to plug the gaps that the bigger relief organizations haven't managed but that of course begs the question these are very small private initiatives how do they get all the supplies and how do they mobilize their resources well that's right the a couple of ways one of them is crowd funding websites and a lot of these days that we've just same they're hoping to move away from those eventually and to become actual registered charities so that people can make tax deductible donations to them but those things take a little while if we go back to the american cross we can see what they're doing they're getting their supplies through things like amazon and they with a wish list function on that might be wondering how they can help the u.s. government has a sense of for international disaster information that they say that money is actually the best way because then it's more likely to get to the people but what they do say is that they should be a people who want to join it should look to charity watchdogs there are too like

charity navigator and charity watch they will help you research and make sure the money that you do during a race goes to where it's most needed and who says individuals can't make a difference thank you so much for bringing us that side of the story greatly appreciated. all right now if you're scared of sharks you might want to look away because you're about to see some closeup images of the most for middle of them all the great white while this footage that you're about to see of was captured by scientists in new zealand shows a four metre long specimen playing with surveying a crimp on the ocean floor and if you're wondering why it's so interested in a camera that's because it's attached to a canister filled went to no researchers say the shark was probably migrating to the tropics when it stopped for a little snack. all right still to come. air berlin first took to the skies nearly four decades ago well now the airline is

preparing to make its final flight to the german capital. and a new exhibit in the german city of pottstown is highlighting works from artists who lived and worked in the country's former communist east will examine their struggle for artistic expression under the british press of regime. that and a whole lot more coming up. and they're paying the stars deliver rousing performances soon. fresh was charlotte's free. and one of today's best jazz moyses. if ever you want to know. rebecca bach from norway and i was in cuts across the park forty five minutes on d w.

celebrating after the region voted to declare independence from spain the vote followed by a fiery debate that saw opposition lawmakers walk out in protest as spanish government has now moved to rescind catalonia as autonomy. all right and we want to take you straight now or to barcelona and madrid because there have been some new a developments that we want to tell you about the a prime minister the spanish prime minister has been making address i want to go straight to a charlotta if i may because the reports are coming in that the a spanish prime minister has effectively dissolved parliament and is calling for regional elections show it has there been any reactions to this. not say if i know the news isn't trickling down here at the moment still there it's the end of jubilation celebration in the gray. independence supporters who are extremely excited at the declaration of independence you've just reached is an interesting

moment actually the crowd's full and silent because they've been chants for the banished flags on the building behind us to be lowered a lot of people are holding their breath to see whether or not that's going to happen now there are thousands of people gathered here in this square they've been here for several hours and we've had a chance. we've spoken to some people here and they say that they want to celebrate today because frankly they don't actually know what's going to happen somare this festival spirit this conical spirit we're seeing today mosques something very worrying for people here and my some of the people that we've spoken to say that they're worried that police are going to come in and break it up by others have said that the award that is going to be arrested at any point they say that this cat for him so this is really an opportunity for them just to take stop stop the independence movement one hundred thing i want to point out about this

rally is that as an answer the independence rally just down the street is was so worth making the point that not everybody here is this jubilant is these people behind me all right martin i want to go now to you you're in madrid this news is just breaking right now the prime minister is dissolving the carolan parliament can you tell us what a bit more about his address. so he spoke to fresh elections today however twenty first of december. last sunday before christmas day teach it was a couple of years ago to hold general elections rich but she won't be selflessly helping. me stop you in a city majority to win it well all the measures were pretty much as expected he's made official but he will. dismiss the law school system on the first minister councillor no longer his dad is a minister also with the rest of his cabinet along with the police chief we were

expecting that also he said it will appeal so the constitutional court to strike down declare is illegal the. declaration of independence was my this up to the house of parliament and. these measures are expected. to win the next few hours but again this is uncharted territory how about. since absolutely and that was unfortunate going to be my next question i know this is uncharted territory but martin how is spain in practical terms planning on implementing this and they've declared that they've dissolved the can't land parliament i mean that can i leadership can just shrug that off and be like well we don't care we are the leaders of catalonia. well that's again you. know who was saying well it was in circumstance who knows how it's going to work in

practice well the government plan to simply. tell everybody in government departments apart from you know. who she was counting now they just had no rules from somebody in madrid wrong somebody. or some hooker had to actually talk anybody's wages and you know to go along with us i mean date most ratings are told that there was an absolute you simply to say sorry not so nice what do you want to be. dismissals theory this is only going to have to have. everybody else is going to keep that joke which you know. especially when sixty cents will. probably want to hang on to our jails are a troll i want to come back to you now of course the man being sought is of course carl's put your money do we know where he is. because of my producer that is just in the building from prying. me out of the way

he's believed to be in the building i'm like oh my eyes are going to be on here next to me because it. is why i'm looking down i mean to even be that he places the rest now so very interesting to see what is going to happen then. the world is waiting with bated breath and the focus is is on the barcelona colonia and spain thank you both for your a continued coverage i did a show the chosen people in barcelona and martin roberts in a merger read spain thank you so very much. we're going to talk to her in an hour who is air berlin it's a very sad day it is a very sad day indeed outfeed a saying to as i'm afraid the bankrupt and line taking all phone its final flight from munich to berlin tonight we'll take you to take

a moment passengers might be getting all teary and we're not just talking about nostalgia prices on certain routes could likely go up as well and it's a sad day for the stuff but the trust in the bankruptcy says the bulk of jobs could be saved still for now that's all up in the air. it's a bitter end for many air berlin employees and some are not mincing their words about c.e.o. thomas bengal man. you feel when you. meet. louis. before you go to sleep he. can then. you run out even though bengal man took the helm of air berlin earlier this year is guaranteed at least four point five million euros and thousands of employees are furious that they are

being left high and dry three out of four of the eight thousand air berlin employees will lose their jobs look tons and two german states declined funds to guarantee employment for a few months more customers may also get a road deal. fell out by consumers less on offer less flights on offer over time that gap will be partially filled by mainly by lost tons and tons of low cost affiliates euro wings and possibly by easyjet or commodore but negotiations are ongoing and it's far from certain whether that is going to be successful time has run out for air berlin and its rivals are lining up for its remaining assets but the real painful consumers may only be beginning after roll industry experts predict travelers who have not only few options but also more expensive ones as germany's second largest airline disappears. and we can bring in all chorused

want to off line now as promised has it taken at port in berlin waiting to board the last evelyn flight out of the airport headed to new nick frank good to see you that chapter of aviation history coming to a close you will be on the. final flight to mean it and what's the atmosphere like that. well there are more and more the lynas coming here to take their ports and say a farewell to say goodbye to their own line after thirty eight years it's indeed historic moments in one nine hundred seventy nine here on this airport we had the first flight taking off that period it was called usa earth eleven because the number the company was registered in united states that time. of the city west berlin was under the control of the allied partners of united states the pritish and the french who kept security and pace of west berlin and of course knowing all this history this is a very emotional moment for

a lot of people waiting for the last out bones and the last involved flow of flights here at the intake the airports or is there an emotional. scene in tonight but what about those eight thousand people here were employed by the airline. there's a did a lot of sadness i was able to talk to some of them one employee was telling me look that was not only a job that was a family we were a family flying out and then we came back home again after work and so we had this miss home feeling all the time working on these evelyn f. lights planes doing these flights and it's a quite emotional moment and a lot of great take as well concerning the process how this takeover of about eighty one flood plane spiral stunts took place in the last few months you should underestimate some anger of people as well that the german government gave a lot about one hundred fifty million euros to stabilize the company but also to

give. quite a bit of time to manage to this to manage until the nice is made to take over right frank i mean you talk about family this family just getting smaller in terms of the ad line industry with consolidation for the consumer prices are going to go up surely. absolutely they do i'm going to fly back with lufthansa tomorrow from your next of the line and the price i don't i don't want to tell you that for the numbers but it was already a very high for for short flight inside germany and there's another concern there's one more player in the game easy chat from the u.k. and the big question is whether this company will be able to take over a smaller part of the plains of evelyn to to secure some of these says to nations on a low cost share basis of course because as you mentioned the lift on said buying eighty one of the one hundred forty four ak rothsay the lion share how do people that feel about that decision. well as i said i mean there's one maisha company they

have the asian community in germany and of course people do want to have competition because they want to have cheaper flights and there's also another thing edelman was not only as such has just mentioned innovation call. but they for some employees it was a family as well and this airline had one goodie for every every client every passenger the leaving the airplane which was a marketing. tool a lot of public relations company i'm going out of jealous of that and i would like to show you this this is a call it's a chocolate hearts and this will be the end to the chocolate heart of evidence tonight as well another thing people are kind of sad when they are going to realize that these these two flights will be the last ones a broken heart that correspondent frank health meant thank you and whatever you do do not miss that flight. thank so much today now in its final day of business

the bankrupt kariya in achieved what it really could do in its prime sell tickets at a price high enough to turn a profit they had lines last flight has been sold out for weeks with some say it's going to six times the usual fare times taken aback at the company that start to swell and many say tried to get to bake it all began in one thousand nine hundred seventy eight when air berlin usa was born a charter airline with two planes and seventy eight employees the first flight took tourists from berlin to the spanish island of mine yorka the carrier soon became known for flying to europe's warmer regions like the mediterranean in one nine hundred ninety eight the holiday charter airline entered an era of transformation and began offering more flights and more destinations by two thousand and three air berlin was the second largest carrier in germany. three years later it went public on the frankfurt stock exchange and was valued at more than five hundred

million euros air berlin continue to expand with acquisitions that included german leisure airline l t u. but the airline has been running in the red since two thousand and eight that forced former c.e.o. and founder you off him to step down and twenty eleven that same year new chairman made on signed a groundbreaking deal with gulf airline he had one of the leading carriers in the middle east became the largest shareholder of air berlin so it's a milestone in the history of air travel in aeronautic history. with the deal air berlin joined the one world airline alliance but business didn't improve despite cost saving measures and restructuring efforts in twenty fifteen air berlin posted a record loss of four hundred fifty million euros eight he had once again came to the rescue but to no avail air berlin began making headlines for all the wrong

reasons canceled flights lost luggage customer confidence and satisfaction dwindled the airline went bust after negotiations that rivals considered unfair lufthansa acquired eighty one aircraft and routes from its former rival now many flights within germany will only be offered by one carrier and a lot of passengers fear their berlin's the miners will soon lead to a big hike in ticket prices. no business news in the next hour right now taking a look at some fabulous produced in form many thank you so much helena yes we are the pictures for a new exhibit at the now famous world famous museum barberini and potsdam an exhibit featuring our works from artists who lived and worked in the german democratic republic the former communist east germany were supposed to have some pictures for you said we've got robin merrill here who can evoke perfect tears for as this exhibit is called behind the mask well that's because generally in the

g.d.r. disease germany were restricted in what they could do just like everybody was ready the states. tried to control everything including culture and this title refers to the fact that a lot of artists. had a public persona if you like on a private persona therefore they were behind the mask some of the time these are works created between nineteen forty five and nineteen eighty nine when the berlin wall came down and then the country one year later was reunited and this is the first exhibition of east german r. i would say that's not a political sort of starts very much on the artistic aspect let's have a lot about these pictures. of proud painter in the workers state police into one who simply dressed up as a worker on opening. and one who didn't care at all about socialist real ism.

next so portraits by east german artists reveal much about their self image caught up between conformity and individuality and it is artists in east germany were assigned a certain role they were supposed to fulfil an educational role on behalf of the state. but our research has shown that the artists distanced themselves from these guidelines very independently they addressed themselves as subjects and chose metaphors such as the mask. east german artists also knew very well how to artfully obscure whether they were telling the party line or crossing it this exhibition is the first in germany to display that so broadly. i think the presentation of our exhibition and perhaps the cover picture will generate curiosity about the show and maybe people who have prejudices about art from east germany or who maybe have absolutely no opinion about it will come see the

exhibition they'll get a lot of surprises with. this latest show is likely to cement museum barber arrhenius excellent reputation. write romance pick up read that report left off this museum is creating a huge buzz in the art world tell us a little bit about the man behind the scenes this is how so platinum who made a fortune as the cofounder and long time chairman of the software giant s.a.p and all this time while he was working very hard he was also very quietly collecting amazing collection actually he moved to ports some years ago and bought a sort of parlay that that's almost a ruin it was actually practically destroyed in world war two and had it totally renovated which you can see here and turned it into this fabulous museum has a great deal of his own collection i mean the first exhibition featured forty of

his own impressionist painters there's room think oh you know there's one of the anyway and. indeed in this exhibition there are some of his paintings too maybe in the next one to my expected men's the next one and after that there's an exhibition next june of the superstar amos living painter and i would be surprised if have a couple of his. works but instead of the guardian newspaper it's all about the buzz reported not long ago about the top ten museums in this year in the world and the number one spot was voted museum barberini impulse thank goodness and for good reason so tell us a little bit about where this museum is potsdam for those of us who don't really know what i'm worth the visit without going to the museum i can't yeah i can't praise it enough i don't i don't work for the. i want to run insurance but it is just outside but then and in the eighteenth and nineteenth century it was the summer residence of the kaiser's and kings were in his soul susi palace the most

famous place there and it was the summer residence of frederick the great and from the city all these wonderful historical buildings being renovated one by one and if you're in the market school. right now where the bobber ynys you feel it's like a film set actually you just see all these things are being slowly renovated one by one and it is just quite mobbed this i was at last exhibition of the barbary and i spent more time outside looking at all these wonderful buildings full thought i was in a film set. and i know what you think is a sort of. anyway has a plan and i think him many other benefactors and also the state of potsdam restoring all these wonderful buildings and tasking if you want to have more information d.w. don't call next last culture out you know where to go thanks law and greatly appreciate it all right we've got some sports now for you because this weekend's going to sleep actually sees two of germany's best sides meet for the second time in four days as bahrain host rb lights a hymn bahrain were victorious in the midweek cup clash and haven't lost

a lapse in any of their three meetings but ralph has a little side will go to munich believing it's only a matter of time before that changes. three hundred twenty minutes three hustled and bustled now they're preparing to do it all over again right see came the closest they've ever come to beating by and rejuvenated and that has been. the players will rest and recover. and i also i think being in our own stadium with the support of our fans gives us strength. and in these conditions we'll be able to overcome our tiredness and can get by and are the kind of team to bask too long in their success especially since like seeker one of the main pretenders to that point is league a thriving. you can only briefly feel happy after a win but now we're really pumped up for the next game. so of course there are lots of things we're thinking about and we're focused on the task at hand and i don't

think we have time to celebrate right now. in light seek their relishing the chance to have another go at bryant even if the form book isn't quite on their site. we've really enjoyed the last match and we're already really looking forward to this next encounter with buy in. the next to begin with and. despite the disappointments writes he can take some positives from wednesday's cup defeat net recent away victory over league leaders to get some hundred pounds back immediately given on the haka when in dortmund you shouldn't worry about being beaten in munich and therefore we'll go there with the same bravado and the same mentality to believe in ourselves and be the trickiest opponents possible for. it and so on to munich right sick unto wanted as they look for their first ever win over the champions. and you heard my colleague jonathan crane there and he's right here with me to talk

about that once again action this weekend that was are grueling match for lights or do you think that's going to affect them going forward now is playing against byron well i guess it depends going to fans if you're. see because if we focus on the positives they showed that they can push the champions all the way and that was read one player down for more than half the game course now b.k. to send so often in the first off they had plenty of chances and if some of the decisions that gone their way deny the penalty. could have been shown a red card that by then we might have been seeing a completely different story but as it was they've lost the game and if you want to focus on the negatives that's now three matches they played against by and they haven't been able to win the bye and really in the second half could have put the game to bed having that extra man does help and that would really have played into their hands because i don't think they'll be as tied as like to see going into the game of course leipsic has to work harder with that ten men and binds you have a bigger squad sorites hates them and get rid of some of that. and then you come in

rejuvenated by and he said this was a cup final because he knows the importance of momentum and the psychological impact of that victory all right well talking about psychology tim tim over who is a rising star in german football he missed that penalty and you think that's going to affect him psychologically. as you say he's a hot prospect attracting a lot of attention from clubs in europe and is never nice when you miss a penalty for anyone not least when everyone else before us scored and you a penalty kick cost your side to gain by them. give the go keep us then or i some credit he guessed right it wasn't a bad move ana and actually after the game came up and said we've been working on analyzing the play is that unlike how they take their penalty kicks over ice in the team event to play together and maybe they even practice penalties to get this. i don't think we should be too harsh on team event i don't think any strike in the

world hasn't missed a penalty kick and like falling off your bike the best thing is to get back on the bike you can see my vanna needs to get out that and if you score the goal on saturday then i'm still everything will be forgotten everything will be forgotten this very sound advice what can we look forward to in some of the other games that for this weekend well this is this weekend one's already kicked off i'm trying to fight against mine it's got against freiburg in the southwest but i think the pick of the serious cologne short trip to leyva cues in cologne of course winless in the league of any scored four goals they did win the cup in midweek so hopefully that will give them a bounce all right we'll be watching thank you so much time greatly have a great weekend all right and before i let you go want to remind you of our main story right now. the a spanish prime minister mariano rajoy has announced he is do you think catalonia is regional government after it voted to declare independence from spain where boy has called new regional elections for december twenty first the move comes as thousands of separatists supporters gather in barcelona to
