feature other and when something happens we always try to be united together we've come with my friend and her family yes thousands of miles away in new jersey people were mourning another of the victims thirty two year old darren drake. that's such a wonderful spirit he always had a smile on his face even the great person. in new york another vigil for the eight people killed. the suspected attacker has already appeared in court so full of side of an immigrant from both pakistan total thought he had been pounding the attack for some time. so allegedly admitted that he was inspired to commit the attack by the isis videos he watched and had been planning this attack for two months but the attack has sparked a heated debate on high to keep people safe president donald trump says he will ask

congress to end the diversity visa program under which sipe up and to the u.s. we need strength we need resolve we have to stop it so we're going to get rid of this lottery program democrats accuse trump of politicizing the tragedy well thank you everybody it doesn't work with new yorkers it doesn't work with americans and in fact if you really want to do something the way we can stop terrorism is anti-terrorism funding to help our new york police department and all of our police departments for new york police and ordinary residents life goes on both every expected to be out in force for the city's famous marathon on sunday. let's bring in our washington correspondent coston phenomena here cost let's start with the politics president trump has already issued a flurry of comments in response to the attack members of congress also speaking

out what do you make of these statements. well it's quite interesting how different donald trump and the white house reacted to this incident compared to the recent mass shooting in las vegas when non muslim american killed fifty eight people. that time and las vegas happened the white house said that this is not the time for a political discussion when calls for stricter gun controls came out they said this is a time for mourning this time donald trump wasted no time to turn this into a political issue he criticized the democrats and blamed them for what he calls the lax immigration rules and called for the abolishment of this so-called green cot not to be as we've just heard interesting point of course is that lottery was introduced as the result of a bipartisan effort and was signed into law by

a republican president george bush so it's not quite clear. on that front was aiming at it was certainly not the truth again he was throwing red meat to his base really and he continued to do so by calling the suspect an animal saying he would send him to guantanamo and calling for the death penalty and i saw a very emotive response from the president a lot of talk already about about security and immigration possible changes there is it clear yet what sort of policy response we can expect from the federal government. it's not really clear one of the things that donald trump called for in a flurry of tweets on tuesday and wednesday was that he wanted extreme whetting vetting procedure the point is that already the vetting procedures are quite tight and general kelly the chief of staff and former homeland security

secretary of donald trump said just a few days ago that those procedures had been tightened so not quite sure what should come out of that and as far as other measures like ending this diversity lottery or other reforms of immigration is concerned i'm not quite sure if donald trump has the votes for that in congress in particular in the senate where the republicans have a very small minority and donald trump made many enemies even on the republican side some not quite sure he will get what he wants now police have been piecing together more details about the attack what more can you tell us about the investigation. well police now say that apparently the suspect had connections to people who were under investigation for suspected terrorism but he himself never really was in conflict with the authorities with the

exception of a few fines for traffic violations he worked as a truck driver and later then as an driver but he never really made it in the united states and that apparently caused a lot of anger and made him very angry people who who knew him including a mom said that he was increasingly radicalized and we heard that he had ninety videos of this so-called islamic states on his mobile and follow the instructions from the states for conducting such an attack so there is a clear connection but he still seems to be a lone wolf that's at least what we know even though it was back to a man is also being questioned right now but we don't know if he's a witness or another suspect cosson thank you very much the cost in phenomenon there in washington state a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today in the u.s. state of colorado at least two men and one woman have been shot dead inside

a denver area wal-mart store witnesses said they heard multiple bursts of gunfire many customers his and were later escorted out by police authorities have not yet made any arrests. britain's defense minister michael fallon has resigned after allegations emerged about inappropriate sexual behavior. in a statement that his conduct may have fallen below the high standards required of the armed forces is departure is the latest twist in a growing scandal over abuse in the u.k. as corridors of power like the. so members of cattle only is ousted government will appear before a spanish judge today there to be questioned in a probe into the region's declaration of independence cattle. or if it is one of the lawmakers expected to give evidence she arrived in madrid on wednesday evening and was escorted from a police station spanish unity activists gathered there and called her instigator

she left the station compound apollonie is deposed president karl has pushed him all is likely to remain in brussels where he has sought legal representation but all fourteen of the regional officials removed by the spanish government face possible charges of rebellion and sedition this banner shows jailed cuts alone independence activists hadi sanchez and hadi quick shot the message is clear how catalonia save europe. what's happening now in the region is stark the spanish government is arresting people connected to the consular independence movement and charging them with serious crimes like treason sedition and rebellion ousted considine president carlos prejudgment meanwhile is hiding out in brussels saying he will only go to madrid if he's guaranteed a free trial at least one barcelona resident had strong words for the former regional leader when you're going to go to new york and i think he needs to show

his face instead of running off to a foreign country and he should show his face that the people here are standing up for him so he should come and show his face to. the prison most lawyer says there is a high chance he would be arrested if he set foot in spain. he would go to madrid and i made an offer that he could be questioned here in belgium it is possible i don't know if he will do it but it is possible i had in the past similar cases where the suspect was being questioned in belgium. the. entourage. other ministers who also fled to belgium have returned to face the music it's now a countdown to see what madrid will do in please jim us case next. let's cross over to barbara vessels now in brussels she's been covering the story from there and from barcelona good morning good morning barbara let's start with carlos push demand is there any chance that he will make his way to madrid for this hearing as

far as we know terry he wasn't on the last flight to madrid last night and he certainly isn't on the morning flight so he intends to stay here more or less it also goes to show that he opened a website here that's called president dot exile dot you case of he still considers himself to be the catalan president and he wants to sort of garner the most of public attention more newspapers more headlines more journalists to sort of foster his cause and the opinion here is split about whether he is already the total political loser many people call him a coward all whether he can still somehow create enough diversion in catalonia to sort of state his case in stick with it well if colace pushed him on to staying in belgium why have his fellow lawmakers not stuck with him why are they going to face

the music in madrid. his own exe government is split about what to do some as we have seen have gone back and say we have to go to court and make our case that's what many many people regard as the honorable way and the just like say we are you know politically in the on the back foot here we don't want to we want guarantees for his safety in spain we want a fair trial and it's just a lot of what you might call political propaganda that emerges from putsch demond and they are trying to sort of stay away from this in savannah if the whole storm if from brussels and it is a very uncomfortable position for the belgian government of course he is the most unwanted invited guest possible because of course he does find some friend was aflame there secessionists and so he is stirring up trouble in his guest country in

the belgian government the prime minister would want him gone rather today then tomorrow w.'s barbara bass will there in brussels thank you very much. you're watching d.w. news still to come it was considered degenerate art by the nazis but it was favorite art dealer secretly collected it and now the treasure trove built by him the product of it sees the light of day in a new exhibition we'll have a preview. markets around the world are holding their breath today for an important announcement from washington has more that's right because today u.s. president paul trump is due to announce his pick for the new leader of the federal reserve now will he be the new man of the world's most important if you believe an increasing number of reports he well his name is jerome powell has been

a fed gov us and twenty twelve he's a centrist on monetary policy and is known as a pragmatic and down to earth official was both private sector and government experience. the head of the u.s. federal reserve is the most powerful central banker in the world some past fed chairman have even attained new cult status like alan greenspan he opened the money floodgates and sent equity markets into a feeding frenzy it led to a time of unprecedented growth fueled by credit. until the bubble burst in two thousand and seven unleashing a global financial crisis greenspan wasn't around anymore it was his successor ben bernanke who had to do the damage control but he kept monetary policy loose the u.s. economy had gotten used to extremely low interest rates a rapid reversal would have cost shocks to the system but it was business as usual under his successor janet yellen at least at first now she's opened the door to

gradual rate increases amid stable growth in the us. federal reserve stronger intervention in the economy stands in contrast to the policies of the european central bank which has favored a lighter touch and focuses on inflation the fed reacts to developments in the job market yemen's term ends in february. jerome powell is the man tipped to replace or the former investment banker is a republican and already part of the fed's governing board markets look ready to welcome such a choice he's nomination would signal continuity theoretically stanford university economist john taylor remains a candidate but his chances are slim analysts caution that he might be quick to tighten policy janet yellen would normally be expected to serve a second term but because she was appointed by former president barack obama that is out of the question for the current white house by replacing

a fed chairman only after one term president donald trump looks set to break another tradition. i will find out in a couple of hours an explosion in a coal fired power plant in the northern in town of kills twenty two people and left sixty of us civilians it co-produces almost two hundred thousand megawatts of power for india more than gas diesel nuclear i'm for knoebels come bought the death toll could still rise many victims were hospitalized. when a pipe exploded and couple of workers in the burning coal ash the five hundred megawatt unit was only operating on a trial basis india is the well in industrial accidents. the arrival of the internet economy has been a boon for employment but in the us india of the philippines for example it's also producing jobs that you cannot make a living from millions of people are now joining the ranks of crowd workers forming

cost as varied as translating and product testing as a part of a huge form of online work could be some economists see a trend as a threat as middle income jobs disappear from the employment market. lights on lights off benedict hammer is an app developer who works from home as a tester on the side he's trying out this lightbulb the way a customer would but locating strengths and flaws only professional would spot the sense findings of the company that hired him but this isn't especially lucrative work. for him at the scene i make about ten year olds an hour but this is on top of my main job and what i earn is taxed correspondingly the social benefits come from my full time work this employment model is called crowd working and it's becoming increasingly attractive for companies like for german startup comfy light which sells intelligent lighting systems they make frequent use

of flexible work arrangements. we either hire someone to recruit in brief a tester who then delivers test results after six months that cost us about half a year's salary or b. is a platform like test birds we'd spend about one thousand and then we'd have the results we need in a week. the test bird site has about two hundred thousand registered crowd workers a big pool of cheap labor market steinhauser a project manager for test bird says the model isn't about trying to pay as little as possible for work. crowd work in doesn't mean working for starvation wages there are smaller tasks like taking photos and more complex work like testing software there even longer term projects in the us more of this is done you can at least partly live off such contracts the common time of the from leaving. for their part trade unions are trying to improve conditions for the new digitised world of

work. i know about this isn't labor models for the future one will see more often we've reached an accord with the companies who use such platforms where we've set minimum standards and guarantees for fairness for workers registered on the sites but we also need legislation we need social safeguards addressing age and illness and we need a welfare state four point zero five one can call it the ball when i'm. working from home is a perk but crowd workers are going to need more than that to guarantee optimal working conditions. it's a treasure trove of odd ones labeled as degenerate by the nazis and now it's gone on public display for the first time ever has that's that's right a very exciting and emotional exhibition of the girl it's collection of what was lost art is expected to attract art lovers around the world you may recall a few years back that the collection was discovered at a private home in southern germany and the find revived

a heated debate about how thoroughly post-war germany has dealt with art plundered by the nazi regime. the hoard of precious artworks is going on display for the first time in bern switzerland and bonn germany the link to exhibitions include master works from the likes of kirshner spec man auto dick's and vassili couldn't ski the works on display just some of the motherlode found in this unassuming flat in munich in two thousand and twelve had not been seen by anyone for decades except by this man cornelius gurlitt tax inspectors discovered the trove of around fifteen hundred works during a raid on gurlitz apartment and later at another residence in salzburg. cornelius girl it was said to be a recluse who identified with more than people. father seen here in the middle

hildebrand gurlitt built up the collection after being enlisted by the nazis to sell so-called degenerate modern not. the story of the art discovery quickly became about a nazi art trove of looted works but the real number is more sobering. because i'm sex where there's a total of six works that have currently been identified as looted out. you could say that's not many but i say it's six too many and it six works with the human story behind them. died in twenty fourteen and the conspiracy and burn was stunned to learn that it had been named as the sole heir the exhibition there is composed mainly of words confiscated by the nazis from museums after receiving the works the swiss museum let some five hundred of them in germany so the provenance could be researched the exhibition there in bonn focuses

on work looted from victims of the nazi regime and works whose ownership has not yet been established tracing the work's origins seventy years on has proved a major stumbling block we tried to turn every stone but in spite of this there are actual limits to our search. the exhibitions not only served to bring these masterpieces back from the grave but also give voice to works and artists the nazis had hoped to silence. well for more now we're joined here in the studio by bishop he's a lawyer and an expert in the field of art flaw thanks for coming in this morning. the ball an exhibition or two there's two parts is the bond in the ban exhibition the bond exhibition we mention our piece there it will focus on works of art whose provenance are still uncertain just how hard is it to establish who own those works of art and who the legal owners are now well it's basically

a two level process you would have to show the daunce is the second such innovation which comes all of the johns us that have legal title. between one thousand nine hundred forty five and then you have to have to show that they lost title they lost the last those works due to. measure by the nazis did you did not suppose accuse not could you see or forced sale if you arrive there you have a pretty good chance of making this is a civil restitution claim so from your point of view it's really not that difficult it's a pretty straightforward process well the process of straight for was difficult to find the historic information obviously you know all real history is not sufficient you really need substantial proof so there's still quite a bit of controversy surrounding the actual provenance and ownership of these things yes you know which work was from who. and now the story of gurlitz

cache of masterpieces that he had stashed away in his apartment there for decades stunned everyone paintings worth a billion euro is stored away in an apartment now they are shared between bollen and berlin but with so much space the uncertainty surrounding the prominence could other countries or legal entities not end up making a claim to these are works at the at the rightful owners cannot be thought well i have some reluctance there because it's very difficult for a for a forward state to make you claim a. individual rights because of this friends they would have to prove that. the in the individual rights postes of this state and which state would that be if the identity of the form is and then even if successful this foreign state would end up with a tainted burks icon's e that they are keen on making such a claim because then they have to look in the house and say everything is fine and

so you see them remaining then in germany and switzerland i think apart from obviously the in the middle of claims from from from the from the families it seems that only a handful of gurlitz paintings were actually looted the rest were were legally acquired legal according to the laws prevailing at the time of the nazi regime does that not leave a huge question mark a legal question mark if not a moral question mark over rightful ownership. that is a very complex. question the question is whether the you can legally quiet looted art and i think as we have limited time. the allies held off after the second world war forty seven until the middle of the fifty's that weighing the interests of the victims and the bias that there is no illegal acquisition of looted or and therefore you have to return it and that's still the concept of the

anglo-saxon countries therefore you have so much of the cation in the us for example now in this country we struggle with we struck above institute of limitation which doesn't mean that you lost title necessarily but you can't get your hands on the work comp is your claim anymore ok rob prater going to leave their lawyer an expert in the field of legal art our law thank you so much for joining us this morning on the. you're watching still to come a new government for germany chancellor i'm going to michael will be back but who will join her we talk to the green party which is in the running to paul never before seen coalition with michael seaview and the free democrats. and behind bars in latvia we'll meet some tourists getting a taste of colonists there a punishment from when the country was still part of the soviet union.

well here in germany it's been one month since parliamentary elections in the country still waiting for a new government going to eccles conservative see the new the business friendly f.t.p. and the environment focused green party have been exploring the formation of what would be a rather unusual governing coalition party negotiators have been carefully examining each contentious issue to see if there's enough common ground for the parties to start for. negotiations but the differences between them are considerable take migration for example the conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. they want an upper limit on the number of refugees the greens oppose a limit the greens also want to permit nearly all refugees all war refugees to be joined by their family members climate the greens want to shut here's a talk about some of them is not the takeoff he's the former cochairman of the

german greens and now a member of the european parliament thank you so much for coming in this morning good morning. did you ever imagine you'd see a day when the german conservatives the liberals and the greens would be negotiating a possible coalition federal level sure enough but for a long time we have always had a very clear message in that regard which was we're open to talk to all the democratic parties but we will not sacrifice major political goals just to get a seat in government so this is where we're at the moment not sacrifice your political goals but your political goals are not exactly in line with those of the people sitting at the table with you right now trying to negotiate we have a quite a spectrum represented at that table if we put the greens on the left or and of

that spectrum you've got the conservative but very and c.s.u. maybe the other spectrum and the liberals there somewhere too. let's talk first atmosphere in these negotiations remember the green delegation all these in these talks what's the atmosphere when you're sitting down at the table with such a broad spectrum of political views well. i would say that changes by the day and by the topic. we have a very productive constructive atmosphere when we talk about research on digitise asian friends there i see a lot of common ground it was much more contentious talking about climate about aquaculture about transport. yeah well soft issues may be you know you can get a good agree on digitalisation everybody wants a more you know well i wouldn't call that exactly a soft issue because for the future of industry that's core and if we

cannot manage the transition over the next let's say five to seven years we will be a museum of industry not a competitor on the global scale so everybody understands that it's just it everybody understands that there's a lot of common ground when it comes to the need to catch up as it were. let's move on to migration and climate that's where things begin to get a little more contentious let's talk about migration person conservatives want an upper limit there's been a lot of discussion about this some say it's not really a discussion but they wanted upper limit on the number of refugees the greens oppose this how can you result that. well even when the two conservative parties that are sitting at the table c.t. use of chancellor merkel and their very end partners c.s.u. even when they negotiated between themselves they did not

officially and formally agree on an opponent so even between them that wasn't agreeable. from that angle you cannot expect us to agree to a policy that would be contrary to the german constitution if the chancellor herself has refused to budge there and there's still of course contradictions you mentioned that with regard to family members of the close family but really look these are already in germany the right really became look at the figures we're talking seventy thousand people that's not an invasion and if we want to interest rate the refugees and everybody says that's our common goal then obviously it's much easier to integrate if you know that your family with base with you add you don't have to war

what's what's going to happen to them in a war zone or refugee camp elsewhere. i want to slightly shift. the description that you made with regard to the controversies it's not always the same three parties against greets on some issues like on the let's say house seeing care for the elder and the some social concerns there is more common ground you might be surprised to learn between c.s.u. and us ok. on some issues about defending dados sovereignty and defending privacy there's more common ground between the liberals and us still i'm not saying this is a done deal or on on a very constructive thing is the probability of us achieving

a coalition is probably fifty two percent and on difficult days it's forty eight it's ok so there are some promising areas there where you guys do have policy overlap so we do know that a a coalition between the greens and the liberals and the conservatives has worked a at a state level in germany before so it's not completely unheard of it to some degree all of us they had level that's much easier and much you don't have foreign policy you don't have european policy i want to get foreign policy but i do want to ask you one specific question about migration policy before we get there and that is again getting back to this cap on migration would the green party accept the compromise that the c.d.u. and the c.s.u. have agreed on themselves of language of that of that compromise no we've already said that's not enough it still leaves open quite a few issues that we will not just. this card ok.

let's move on then to the two climate policy is very important for the for the for the greens the green party was founded to some degree on dealing with it's a must have environmental issues it's a must have as you say you began this discussion by saying that you don't want to well you will not sacrifice your political values and principles the greens want a commitment to emission targets for example shutting down the twenty dirtiest coal burning power plants in germany the liberals and conservatives they don't really see eye to eye with you on that where's the middle ground on energy policy with them i'm not talking middle ground here i'm talking keeping the promises that previous governments have made previous governments all of them led by mrs markle

have pledged for years that the c o two emissions would be reduced by forty percent in two thousand and twenty visa vi the one nine hundred ninety levels now according to the press and policies status quo we will not achieve more than minus thirty two so when we have a failing policy already where governments with the social democrats with their brogues and the past and under the leadership of a minute mrs merkel are failing to deliver on what they promised to the world and to the citizens and with you in government they will achieve that they will have to you cannot imagine nobody. should imagine that greens are going to fall back behind the promises that conservative governments have made in the past we are the driving force for and by mental transformation we're not there just be

part of this since that we commit against the future of our gender of future generations and how to cope thank you so much for talking with us on how to cough is a former cochairman of the german greens is now a member of the european parliament thanks for being with us this morning and thanks for having me now the style just is usually about reliving the good old days and not a repressive past however in latvia which used to be part of the soviet union there was a special attraction for tourists keen to see what communist era punishment was like . far off the beaten track on levy is baltic sea shore is this little gem the. visitors come here to have fun in the sun. but there are some others who are a bit hearty here and this is not your usual birthday party here at the rustic prison chris stops and his friends are letting themselves get abused and yelled at

the prison guard barks at them not to give up but one does and he's pretty fed up about it but not everyone is. no. i like this like this some games and like that. this is a former soviet prison now being visited by prison going to artists be a con for a couple of hours. on the field you can also watch a video about it but if you come here and live here you're then really playing the role of a prisoner and you can really understand how it was that stan. this military penitentiary of live was where soviet military personnel were locked up if they acted up and scenes like this are extremely realistic. that. he tries to

elaborate before being forced back into his role as prisoner to friends. seventy thousand military personnel and their family members resided in the during soviet rule and this was the prison for those who needed to be disciplined former prisoners pitched in to help make things here look as realistic as possible. you can also do an overnight stay here like chris steps and his friends they've almost finished the program at the price of some rattled nerves. i'm also whether you can take my breath. going to say very pleasant experience and i was afraid i would say so at debatable point still people are standing in line for this be a prisoner for a short stay. and now some good news following

a report here on d w last year about last fishing in tanzania the report calls public outrage with even the vice president getting involved attends indian government ordered a nationwide crackdown and called in the army to intervene report out today from a network of undercover monitors shows that there has been an eighty five percent drop in explosions off of tanzania's coast the acoustic monitoring program says that over the past year blasts have dropped from two thousand to five hundred in some areas tanzania of course is on the coast of east africa it has extensive coral reefs whose biodiversity and beauty say it's more traditional fishing and and of course the tourism industry the last fishing not only kills and injures fish also destroys habitats of species living on the coral reef. well let's bring in dan speed now he's been reporting extensively on this matter

dan good to have you with us so obviously a drastic drop lives we just heard in blast fishing off the coast of tanzania tell us about the reasons for this. and it's really not the government's agenda partly because of the work of n.g.o.s campaigners and the media but also because the president himself is becoming best in news he has called on his countrymen to look at last fishing to do something about it and the vice president spoke then to secretary of state states that the environment and this is a country where if those top people start talking about it in actions tends to happen and what we saw was a number of key interventions we had regional commissioners local authorities and police forces really starting to crack down in local areas and it just goes to show that with a little political will a lot can be achieved the political will comes and goes though that's sometimes a problem the government has so far taken decisive action against blast fishing do

you think they'll continue yes we've hit the nail on the head this is a government that is taking that decisive action in a number of areas has to be separate the environment isn't the top priority it wants to in just realize it wants to improve the economy so there are a lot of people who fear that the loss fishermen are just lying low blow the heat is on them so that this to be successful the government asked to keep talking about those regional commissions act to create incentives for their police forces to continue this action or get incentives would be money for example paying them well to keep them out there doing their jobs and not not to be say susceptible to corruption for example what about the practice though moving forward do you think there's any chance of eradicating it completely. this is talked about quite a lot and i always say yes absolutely if you just look at what's been achieved through a little political will and then you take into account more fish market inspections

for instance where they make it more expensive for the last fisherman to operate they could look more corruption they could look at the mining sector and whether that has a role in leaking the explosives that make their way into glass fishing all of these things could make it very difficult for the last fisherman to operate at school and also remember that tanzania is a country where more than seventy five percent of people live off the land is there are hundreds of thousands of illegal fisherman they all have an investment in making sure that their and natural resources a sustainable so they can mobilize that's energy i'm sure that can stand this out but with looking at it from the position of a blast fisherman they see this as economically profitable they see it as maybe more efficient than using traditional methods how do you resolve that. yes this is exactly the big challenge we send say research it down to our local

markets it was fairly easy to buy explosives off the black markets and anxious by less than ten dollars very cheap very easy to get and we found talking to legal fiction and they were being tempted to have lost beijing because ironically that legal fish stocks. but i think the solution will always be from the community itself if all those legal fiction men get together because they have pools will know who the boss fishermen are they will be living amongst them if they can get to get that they can find a solution and enforce it because that's the only way that this can be sustainable making its own affordable for those blocks fishman's what rights ok so there's the there with the there's of the contours of a solution here in dealing with it to tell us where things stand right now because a lot jackley how much damage has already been done and what's the potential for for the area to recover. it to the only state is completely devastating once

as happens already we reported fifty w. last date which hadn't been reported before showing that there had been an estimated fifty to one hundred thousand lost snout each of those blocks destroys everything even twenty beats a radius so it not only kills all the states it can destroy it will the coral the fish takes on the fall and of course as we know the coral is so important in sustainability in creating more fish life in the sea what we're finding in tanzania is that to kishen a fish don't so it has to be said that the damage that has already been done it can't be undone but there are of course still fish left and it is not too late to save those reefs which is still left to the media your work particularly has played a role in bringing about some change in terms of practices and improving the environmental situation there do you think that can you still have a role to play the media particularly in keeping the focus on this issue in order

to keep the government working towards a sustainable solution absolutely yes i mean conservation is always talk about education is one of the key policy banks in solving these things and a lot of these issues are very multifaceted very complex and that's where we come in to investigate the role of mind and body to investigate the scale of last fishing and i like to think that media can really highlights people might be aware that there are bombs going off that they might not know the scale so the media certainly can raise attention not just amongst the public but amongst the very people who make the decisions themselves then thank you so much for talking with us bring us up to date dan asprey there a journalist who's working on the blast fishing su off the coast of pens in the thank you so much. to the highlands of scotland where they bare landscape was once covered with trees as far as the eye can see well that was two hundred years ago before the woodlands were chopped down as the region

industrialised well now the scots want their woods back and they're looking for help from forest famous for their what working skills. the bare hills of the highlands every visitor to scotland's idea of a unspoiled nature. but for environmentalist alan watts and featherstone the very opposite is true thanks to centuries of overexploitation. we're up here on the high ground of gun dragon now and as you can see it's virtually treeless landscape but this would all been covered in forest in the past like almost all of the scottish highlands today there's only this one solitary pine left we call it the lone pine two kilometers in its nearest neighbor it's a miracle it survived the british empire needed timber to build ships and scottish landowners wanted space to graze their sheep if woodlands were planted at all they

were just for commercial lumber single crop conifers to maximize profits. featherstone wants to restore what he calls the highland caledonian forest he's been campaigning for this ancient woodland for thirty years when he started he was mocked as a tree hugger. but he pressed on undeterred and calls his project trees for life. several hundred volunteers work and done dragon on a forty square kilometer state bought by trees for life nine years ago. they grow most of the trees native to the caledonian forest in greenhouses. seedlings are weeded by hand of hand staking process. on the banks of the river marson are the fruits of this labor beach an aspen planted eight years ago the first small

steps towards restoring the ancient woodland. well this river like most rivers in scotland has lost most of its natural side woodlands so we'd like to see healthy right here in woodland back here and we'd like to see the european beaver back as well because it's a keystone ecological species and river ecosystems featherstone has not managed that yet his neighbors are passionately and. environmentalist paul ramsay knows this from bitter experience but for years powerful interest groups including landowners commercial foresters and the hunting lobby blocked the reintroduction of the beaver then he took matters into his own hands. her new learnt that the the old fashioned baddies as it were always hostile to whether it's presence of birds of prey or whether it was having

a park to have that they were dead set against the. overturn of the beef i just thought well we're going to go through this. sometimes only just legally beavers have been building dams and ramsey street for fifteen years making themselves a picture book habitat. it's hard to catch a glimpse of them beavers are retiring creatures. but the battle over the reintroduction has been won the scottish government has recently classified the beaver as a native and therefore protected species. that is a catastrophe according to farmer adrian ivory beavers managed to expand their territory on to his land now they are well established and they're knowing his trees this one as well gone on his way to snapping off and the one just here is already so this tree will go the same way as the last tree in

a second and again if we look at the next tree just down here that is again very fresh on the way down so once this trees fall on well then go to this tree and fell and so on down this line. beaver dams blocked the ditches draining ramsay's fields flooding in crop failures can follow it cost a thousand pounds a year to keep the ditches clear but that doesn't stop the beavers. the farmers this food producing areas need to be allowed to move the beavers on we have to be alive to manage what is going on here because if we're restricted from doing anything where in a lot of trouble. paul ramsay has a different opinion. people will continue to kill them just as they kill birds of prey that all over the protected that it does place

things of putting it says these are protected you do this at your own risk. and suddenly here they are the shiny beavers come out just before sunset in the pond behind an otter frolics although once the eagle of an ancient scottish woodland is clear to see. and you're watching the news just a reminder the top stories we're following for you today the man accused of carrying out the new york terror attack is busted about his support for the so-called islamic state meanwhile the people of the city have been mourning the eight who. you're watching news from berlin more at the top of the next hour.
