this is news live from berlin president donald trump visit south korea the second stop on his asian tour trump is expected to keep up the pressure on north korea to abandon its nuclear program and he has not backed down from his threat to use force

we'll go live to seoul also coming up investigators say a domestic dispute appeared to be the motive for a gunman who killed twenty six worshipers in a texas church and a military error allowed him to purchase a firearm. sweltering temperatures and weather extremes delegates point to these threats as they call for urgent action and more cash to fight climate change we'll go live to the u.n. climate summit and bone. plus one hundred years ago today bolshevik revolutionaries seized power in russia but their dream of a classless society turned into a totalitarian state why do today's russian officials want to keep a lid on that revolutionary spirit in moscow to find out. and his grandfather once fought wars with his european neighbors but this man has turned to wind it to bury those old across the border rivalries.

i'm serious so much got a good to have you with us a u.s. president donald trump has arrived in south korea the second stop of his five country tour of asia his trip comes amid simmering tensions with north korea over its nuclear program trump has visited the main garrison of u.s. troops stationed in the country and he is later due to hold talks with south korean president moves in the visit is being seen as an attempt to present a united front against pyongyang despite differences with south korean leaders over how to do so. well north korea and the u.s. have exchanged ever stronger threats and insults but what would a potential conflict really look like. in this propaganda film war breaks out on the korean peninsula. north korean troops annihilate u.s. forces though the actual outcome of any new conflict here would likely be different

there's little doubt that the carnage would be great. and then there's the north's growing nuclear arsenal relations between the two countries reached a new low this year as north korea stepped up its nuclear program five nuclear tests were followed by the detonation of a hydrogen bomb the regime is also developing long range missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads. and. tensions soared at the end of july when north korea launched a second intercontinental missile which it claimed could reach the u.s. mainland. under pressure from the united states the u.n. security council agreed to tougher sanctions on the regime. pyongyang valid to exact revenge on washington and trump ramped up the rhetoric north korea

best not make it work for the rest of the united states. they will be met with fire fury. like the world has never seen a month later at the u.n. rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime the united states is ready willing and able. this mockery stung the north korean dictator kim jong un sent the us president his first direct personal message branding trump a mentally deranged ordered when he would team with fire. north korea then up the stakes threatening to strike the pacific island of guam home to a strategic u.s. military base. hoping to diffuse the crisis the united states wants china to do more to rein in its ally north korea

beijing is reluctant to get involved. both sides will speak and act cautiously and not do or say anything that will irritate the other in september the u.n. imposed yet another round of sanctions on north korea including caps on oil supplies washington hopes that will knock out the north's nuclear program the prospects for a diplomatic solution do not look good the escalating the north korean crisis will be the biggest challenge of donald trump's asian trip. and heartache is following the tram visit in seoul and he joins us for more. donald trump's actually indicated he might be willing to meet kim jong un at some point he talked to american network about that let's just listen to what he said. i would sit with anybody i feel i don't think it's a strength or weakness i think sitting down with people is not a bad thing so i would certainly be open to doing that but we'll see where it goes i think we're far too early so boston is a trump kim meeting really

a possibility. well to me that will be quite a stunt if the president could pull that off when it but to be fair at the moment there's no indication of that happening any time soon here on the contrary because of what president trump is actually here to do is as you said forge a united front against north korea consisting of the u.s. japan south korea and china and that's where the problem starts and that's where it starting to become very tricky because that united front would also include a military alliance between the u.s. japan and south korea now that's something that china obviously doesn't want to see because they don't want a powerful rivaling military alliance added stores that but you don't even have to look as far as china also here in south korea president moon day in has indicated that cooperating with japan militarily to counter north korea is ok but he doesn't

want to enter a military alliance he made it clear he said the u.s. is our ally japan is not and the reason for that is that relations between south korea and japan aren't very good and that dates all the way back to the second world war and the atrocities that the japanese army committed here in south korea and that's how korea feels the japanese haven't apologized enough for and then also south korea doesn't want to enter that military alliance and antagonize china even further when it when it knows that china doesn't like this military alliance so this is a very very difficult balancing act that president trump is attempting here because he has to get china on his side to act against north korea because china arguably has the most influence over north korea and on the other hand he's trying to forge a military alliance has not only meant to counter north korea but that in the long run it could also be meant to contain china and china's rise in the region so as you can see not an easy task for the u.s.

president so we ok best in what people there where you are in seoul say you know they've lived with the threat of north korea's nuclear program. longways missiles for decades and what do they think of the us president. people here are very divided there are those who welcome the u.s. president and they welcome his tough approach and his tough rhetoric towards north korea because they say that's the only language that north korea understands and then there are others who say that only makes everything worse deploying more troops deploying more military equipment in south korea just makes the situation more tense and therefore more dangerous especially of course for south korea and then so there are today to protest rallies that that authorities here have allowed just there behind me around the corner we can't see it one is pro u.s. and the other is against the u.s.

and against trump's visit so you can see the atmosphere here a lot more divided and a lot more tense than it was on the president's previous stop in japan so he did his best in heartache of covering donald trump's visit to south korea thank you boston. police say the man suspected of killing twenty six people inside a texas church had been in a domestic dispute before committing the massacre devon patrick kelly's believed to have died of a self-inflicted gun wound after fleeing the scene kelly's in-laws reportedly attended the church in sutherland springs is the deadliest mass shooting in the history of texas. we write. the farsi charter always sought to bring people together by walk around segments take somebody give him whatever you may feel like the lord let him know it's good to see him in god's house the day. that this video from last month captures a service like any other it was faith family and friends until this sunday when

a gunman came intent on killing among the many victims. we had a long night with our. babies we have left the pastas fourteen year old daughter our church was not comprised of members or parishioners we were a very close family we ate together we laugh together we cried together and we worship together. now most of our church family is gone. our building is probably beyond repair. and the few of us that are left behind lost tragically yesterday. the suspect is devon patrick kelly a twenty six year old with a history of violence he was discharged from the u.s. air force for beating his family he was chased out of town by residents before turning the gun on himself. amid the hatred of this tragedy are tales of heroism.

that saw the fire fight between. the shooter and the church and the neighbor a resident here in town. after the fire fighting the shooter took off in a neighbor came over jumped in my truck and said he just shot at the church and said we had to get him i said let's go and that's what we did it's official say the gunman may have been targeting his in-laws. but we can tell you that there was a domestic situation going on within this family. the suspect mother in law attended this church we know that he had made threaten threatening a. threatening text from him. almost a tenth of the population of this town was killed on sunday in tiny southern springs they're holding each other that little bit closer. and michael is in sutherland springs he joins us on the line michael as we saw in the report

this is such a small community that is trying to come to terms with what happened what have people been saying to you. well people are really still in shock after this tragedy happened yesterday i spoke with several people and they all said they don't really know how this could happen in such a small and tight community so that when springs is to one no one eighty year old resident to us left all his life you said this is unreal the chance to find words to describe this. and they're still trying struggling hard to to make sense is this you know the shooter as we mentioned has been named as the twenty six year old devon patrick kelly he lived near a sutherland springs we don't know that much more about his motive at this point but we have heard that he had mental health issues he was sort of the air force so how was he able to purchase weapons. well at apparently he he he she wasn't actually supposed to buy. supposed to be able to buy

a weapon because he had he had been. sent to prison by the by the air force for force for abusing his his family. he received a twelve months. and said this and that sort of reparative from buying a gun but apparently the air force didn't enter this into the national system and that's why he he could have bought those guns because this this didn't come up when he tried to purchase these weapons. these michel's may go with the latest on the investigation there in sutherland springs michael thank you very much now to some other stories making news around the world saudi arabia has accused lebanon of declaring war against it because of aggression by the iran backed lebanese shiite militia hezbollah the comments by saudi gulf affairs minister tom

climate summit in vaughan. but first monikers here with more on the fallout from the pair paradise papers will be what a world leader is going to do about those tax holes tax loops and tax havens well he'll finance ministers continue their two day meeting today in brussels top of the list of course is how to react to the latest data legal financial documents that reveal how the world's rich and powerful hide their money in offshore accounts i did many cases they do so perfectly legally and this is in this way trillions of euros lost to the state in taxes the e.u. had long plans to crack down on tax havens but not everyone is on board because offering tax breaks is the lucrative business. when it comes to tax dodging nike ticks all the boxes the paradise papers have shown a light on a complex network that helps the sportswear giant issue taxes in europe. among its

strategies over the years she fighting money out of its european headquarters in the netherlands to bermuda where it paid zero tax the revelations have prompted potentially awkward questions about why storage fees didn't crack down on the practice. it's important to take action on tax evasion but i still need to examine the exact details in the document. the leaks have sparked some soul searching among e.u. leaders too as they face the fact that multinationals on the super rich have been able to avoid paying vast quantities of tax in europe without even breaking the law in paradise but paradise papers as i've understood it focus heavily on legal structures that facilitates tax evasion that means we need to tackle it and we intend to do so. sharp words but will they be matched with action

the european commission estimates that the bloc could be losing up to a trillion euros a year to tax dodging failure to act could therefore prove a cost too high to bear. well apple starbucks a host of american multinationals are also part of the paradise paper's revelations when gold a german member of the european parliament has been pressing to close tax loopholes and we asked him if naming and shaming is effective and if even care. no clearly it's not enough but it's not the job of consumers to control transnational companies it's the job of democratic politics to take control of the globalization process so what europe has to do is we need minimum tax rates and we need common tax rules and full text transparency in order to fight that feeling that tax law is only for the small people while transnational business can avoid

responsibility. german member of the european parliament now a grocery store on the outskirts of london is giving customers the finger that is giving them the option of using finger scanning technology to pay for their shopping but not everyone is ready to leave their cash and credit cards at home. just pop your finger on to the gun or to purchase your items customers at this grocery store on the outskirts of london cannot choose to leave their cash and credit cards at home. the biometrics gone build a three d. map of your finger brains generate a key that users can link up to their bank accounts. the companies behind the new payment technology say it could help businesses forge closer ties with customers. you have no identity of anybody and it's very difficult with the relationship any way they can to give you a lot a card which people don't carry these days so what their idea is if your finger

with a lot of cards you never going to forget it you're always going to have it with you if you're also can make the payment it becomes much more convenient but the technology has also raised concerns about privacy crypto key generated by the finger brain scan is stored anonymously on servers but linking your finger to your bank account could enable your movements to be traced because so far around a thousand people have signed up to use the technology proponents say it's potentially huge and that it could even be rolled out in other areas like border security. well the last manned flight to the moon that took place and nineteen seventy two something fifty years later america's nasa wants to send humans again back to the moon with a new orion spacecraft and europe's group is part of it its defense and space division is currently busy finishing assembling the orion service module which is

vital to the success of the mission. these brownout he subscripts may not look very impressive but they're indispensable the wafer thin thermal membrane to protect delicate components like sensors from extreme temperatures in space. you know hours of painstaking work technicians apply over twenty thousand individual strips to the for me to hi module. the strictly sequenced work is done under a clean room conditions initial testing is due within a few days. for me. personally it's the most exciting phase of the program because we're off the drawing board and on to the hardware breathing life into the vehicle as soon as we finish the integration will transition to the respective test phase. the module is a component of the arayan spaceship seen here in a computer simulation effectively its energy supply. its main features are its four special fuel tanks which can carry as much as nine tons of rocket fuel. arayan

operates in conditions where temperatures can be as low as minus two hundred thirty degrees. is extreme could if we encounter this extreme temperature drop when the spacecraft is in high elliptical orbit behind the moon when it's innocence shadows and they help us to maintain the feel of a constant temperature so that we corresponding it always in a position to supply the engines with feel the logs and get them started inspiration that employs right type stuff to for. nasa enlisted the europeans for the project five years ago the first time ever to help construct a u.s. space capsule. atlas plans to deliver the module to be americans in early summer twenty eighteen fulfilling a key role in a moment like project. absolutely critical strike knowledge of supply and energy supply and supplies for the astronauts absolutely critical elements out there

especially important. that's going to be using them in without nurse it basically would have been possible for nasa to accomplish this mission as it is in the east and the supply module costs three hundred ninety million euros and the two hundred people who built it can look forward to even more work naza has already placed the order for its successor. to think what we can achieve with technology sumi we should be able to tackle climate change too you would think so monica and that's exactly what more than twenty thousand delegates are trying to do right now they're meeting to try to implement the paris climate agreement in the german city of bonn now a u.s. official says america will continue to take part in these talks taking place in bonn that is the spike the fact that donald trump announced in june he would pull the u.s. out of the pact if he could not get a better deal or representatives from more than one hundred ninety countries are trying to hammer out the details of the paris climate agreement of the next two weeks and much is at stake. instead of taking their seats in class

they're taking to the streets these youths staged a demonstration near the climate conference center and bone. they want the global community to limit greenhouse gas emissions. conference participants say the paris climate agreement of twenty fifteen was a step in the right direction countries have national climate targets now but they have to be solidified. this is an urgent moment and so i expect delegations to come here ready to do their jobs to get the rules set for paris and make progress but also individually to say what they're ready to do more. there's a south pacific ambience involved island nations threatened with submersion amid rising sea levels are getting special attention at the climate conference the targets set out in the paris agreement don't go far enough to prevent the impact of a climate disaster. in paris it was clear that our efforts would not go far enough

it's also part of this agreement that we keep checking to see what we can do better . it's doubtful whether that will happen in bonn meeting the paris climate targets will require much more work but everyone here is aware that the pacific islands are quickly running out of time and database crista first brigade is following the day's action for us in bonn hi christopher the un is warning that two thousand and seventeen will be one of the hottest years on record so we're two thousand and fifteen and two thousand and sixteen has that added urgency to these talks. yes sumi it has added. to this talks but i hasten to add this is just one of many warnings that climate scientists have been making. in recent weeks in recent months in recent years i think another source of urgency at these talks these climate talks in bonn is coming from the

fact that fiji is presiding over these talks the first small island nation to do so fiji of course one of the worst affected countries already by climate change the first ever country worldwide to have to relocate an entire village due to rising sea levels and we had yesterday a very forceful appeal for collective action from fiji's prime minister frank bainimarama he said our world is in distress there is no time to waste the need for urgency is obvious so the need for urgency is obvious in the world is though still headed for a three degree temperature rise by the end of the century according to the un so how bad the scientists think the effects of climate change would be in that case. well many scientists talk about what they call catastrophic climate change and with a three degree celsius rise in global temperatures that is almost certainly where

we'd be heading one of the interesting things is that scientists have been able to observe since the one nine hundred sixty s. half a degree. in the rise of well temperatures and looking at the impacts of climate change and of that rise in temperatures i say just half a degree and what they've seen is that there's been a substantial increase in what they call extreme weather events we've seen just this year a devastating hurricane season in the caribbean we've seen droughts in eastern africa and southern africa we've seen heavy flooding in south asia all of this claiming thousands of lives causing billions in economic costs and as i say that's just with harford degree. celsius in rise in the rise of global temperatures so what's it going to be with three degrees i think you can expect a double triple perhaps

a core drupal. increase in the impact of that kind of climate change christopher just very briefly if you can taking all that into account of their many pledges so far to limit emissions beyond what was pledged in paris. we're not expecting any fresh pledges at these climate talks next year there's going to be a global stocktaking process where countries that are part of the paris agreement will be reporting their progress in cutting emissions the question then will be is that enough the answer will be almost certainly no it isn't and that's when those emissions pledges will have to become far more ambitious years christoffersen bring great reporting from the un climate talks in bonn thank you christopher. you're welcome just a bit of sports now in football one of the all time greats is hung up his boots italian legend andre up here low played his final match for the weekend for new york city f.c. and is now retired known as

to north korea's nuclear threat. and more than one hundred ninety nations are meeting in the german city of bone to try to implement the paris climate agreement a u.s. official says america will continue to take part in the talks despite president trump's threat to exit the pact if you couldn't get a better deal. well it is a day two of those talks in bonn in the landmark paris treaty the delegates are trying to move forward aims to keep climate change manageable by limiting global warming but many places are already seeing the effects of rising temperatures among them the u.s. state of alaska where glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. the juno ice field in alaska is the fifth largest in the world. spending almost four thousand square kilometers the landscape here seems made for eternity. but iran hood knows better the ice is melting. the scientist works on the

mendenhall glacier and his measuring equipment has revealed that the ice is shrinking while most ten meters a year. but distant washington is not interested in whose research in fact president trump intends to cut funding for climate research by billions here and whose work is under threat when they start to cut funding for earth science that's going to have a big impact on our ability to study you know things like this flood that's going on here and to study the changes that we see in mendenhall in the juno ice field and so that's really where the big impact is going to come. the scientist says that trump is not only hindering his research work the president has also managed to convince many americans that climate change is a myth they're convinced that donald trump can come in and cut back on regulations cut back on climate change research and that's going to somehow stimulate the economy and you know that's very convincing to people that are who you know need

jobs and need to support their families. but there's no denying the impact of these images between two thousand and seven and twenty fifteen the mendenhall glacier retreated by five hundred fifty meters. a few with two different colors of water. the lighter left side is the melted ice field water. is one of the big outlet glaciers from the ice field and the projection now is that by the end of the century about two thirds of the ice field here the g. and i's fields will and disappeared and so it's really important for us to understand how this water that's coming from the glacier is influencing the productivity in marine ecosystems. ecosystems to which creatures like these humpback whales belong. they live on plankton in krill. in groups they

combine their efforts and build a net of air bubbles which they use to confuse and trap their prey. it's called bubble net feeding. bob jones offers boat trips for researchers and nature lovers he believes that climate change is unsettling the whales. are seeing changes with the in the food chain if the food chain is changed due to warming the water there we're going to see changes in the whale we're not we're not we're perfect place to research for this right now i mean this is a great place for whale watching but what's really important with climate change on the horizon and what we know and what we're learning about it we're going to for we're going to see more and more research being necessary. jayne's is furious that trump has described climate change as an invention of the chinese and put

a climate change skeptic in charge of the u.s. environmental protection agency i feel it's it's a shame that our administration and our president has the nih the climate or at least put it in the background if it is personally at the st nicholas sad end and something that if we as american u.s. citizens should be ashamed. bob says. that scientists like me are and should also have presented their research better then the president wouldn't have been able to spread seeds of doubt you know. the entrepreneur though has a solution in the form of donations from wealthy citizens to secure future research funding and the results could become reality here. the industrial waste land in alaska's capital juneau is set to house a new ocean center a mix of multi-media museum and meeting place for citizens and scientists. and one scientist is already keen to use it as

a safe house for his research out of reach of the trump government climate change that he's had already disappeared from the e.p.a.'s website. of the federal government as far as you know what i'm what i'm seeing and reading and what i've heard from my colleagues and scientists. were very very concerned about data sets and information that's not being collected i mean not not even to talk about perhaps what's being done with the existing data sets. he intends to keep a close eye on the data in the future. we're back at the mendenhall glacier. we've met up with a researcher you're in hood again he's keen to show us how climate change is becoming a threat to residents of juneau city it all fell way up and then as it floods in

a nice will settle back down into the basin so essentially it's kind of like a giant bathtub that's filling up with melt water from the suicide glacier there and then draining out under the mendenhall so there's flooding on some streets they have to close some there is a visitor center that to turn off the power in some areas. here in alaska it's impossible to overlook the effects of climate change. and yet here in hood still has so much to do to make his fellow americans really understand what his research on melting ice means for their futures. for more on the effects of a global more warming we're joined by climate researcher carl friedrich slicer from climate analytics at the nonprofit climate policy institute and he is in bonn for the u.n. meeting mr slicer thank you very much for joining us we saw in that report how a lot of americans believe that climate change is a hoax and that scientific findings haven't really been able to convince everyone

that it is manmade so how clear is the evidence really the evidence and climate change that it's manmade is absolutely clear is on every vocal that humans are causing this chain change and we see it all over the globe the sea ice sheets melting the sea marine heat of a sea of unprecedented scale you see extreme events occurring that we have never had before the evidence is the evidence base for this statement is absolutely clear and there's no doubt from a scientific perspective on that so it's unequivocal you're saying and the u.n. is also reporting that two thousand and seventeen is on course to be one of the three hottest years on record it's also been a year of extreme weather as we've seen across the world the argument that climate skeptics present is that these are naturally occurring cycles is there a clear link between global warming and what we're experiencing is like for example heat waves or wildfires direct link between man made climate change and these events occurrences is very clear and we see very high percentages of these events occurring just because of manmade climate change other events like for example

tropical cyclones would also occur naturally but the impacts of climate change make them much more devastating as we see stronger hurricanes they are amplified that comes with more rain heavier flats and sea level rise makes to coastal flooding potential much more severe so talking about those the devastating impacts they have forecasters in bonn say we actually have already admitted so much carbon that the world is on track for fifty more years of warning let's listen to what the head of the world meteorological agency had to say on that. these negative trend is expected to continue for the coming coming fifty years anyhow so that means growing amount of the sauce there's a growing amount of comfortable recourse. that is a dire warning mr slawson or of fifty more years of a warming how bad will things get well it strongly depends on our action now

because obviously warming isn't equal to warming so if we continue to emit at the scale of it currently and we'll see a warming of several degrees of it it's time for and it's just been described whereas if you take an action that is needed we'll be able to bend the curve and actually end the woman by that time so we'll be able to greatly limit the destructive potential of climate change and basically limit warming levels to what we agreed to in paris how much time is really left for that origin to action you're discussing we definitely need urgent action over the next recent years but we also in the in the middle of an energy revolution so we see change happening on the ground we can even say to paris agreement has unleashed the potential of entertainers and countries and investment funds and we have had to really move into the renewable domain and we see a mess of change there so i'm pretty optimistic that it can be done obviously other other fighters other. players in the political the main and currently u.s. and mr asian are pushing back against that so the jury is let out there if you are

we able to manage that we see no glaciers and polar ice melting as we saw there in a report in ocean levels rising and it is clear that low lying islands like fiji for example would be the first victims of global warming what parts of the world do you think are going to be next to be so severely impacted by climate change. well we see impacts of climate change basically everywhere these heard about the arctic we have seen a melting ice the learn from rain forest nations fear for their livelihoods and for their forest survivals we see an unprecedented he'd raise in europe extreme events in the us flooding in china extreme and soon in south asia so i don't really think there's any region in the world that spared by climate impacts and so we all the same boat or the same canoe as if you jian prime minister said yesterday all right a call to action there for the delegates at the un climate summit in bonn karl predicts slicer researcher with climate analytics thank you very much for joining us on our program thank you. now it has been one year since donald

trump won the us presidency and today voters are going to the polls in the state of virginia in a closely watched governor's race now virginia is an east coast state that's located just south of the capital washington d.c. it is almost evenly divided between democrats and republicans donald trump narrowly lost virginia to hillary clinton so what can the virginia governor's race tell us about the state of u.s. politics since trump took office debby's washington correspondent alex hunter from naaman went to find out. this is the most important governor's election inone let's turn it over really yes everywhere meet at kill us be a republican loyalist and lobbyist who wants to become virginius next governor we've got a secular growth and job creation and wage growth for junior should be first in the country and we can do the right policy economy education health care issues that matter in this race is key challenge however has been to maintain

a distance from donald trump the president deeply unpopular in urban areas of the state without offending trump's core supporters in the rural parts he will speak their votes to get elected. i am perfectly satisfied with the president i think his appointments have been very very good he says things that i wouldn't necessarily have say but what he's accomplishing is very it's very good. i'm happy with his policies and i wish he were. stayed away from a cellphone. meanwhile democrats in virginia are trying to energize their base by associating gillis be with the president and his rhetoric activists showed up at this event with this giant chicken. ed gillespie is too chicken to stand up to donald trump from health care to the muslim ban to tax cuts for the rich.

right away and. the democratic candidate ralph northam currently serves as lieutenant governor in virginia his in favor of stricter gun control and abortion rights and also on and he supporters hope to use this election to send a message to their voters don't approve of what's going on in washington with my opponent says he has such a great relationship with the president why in a president here in virginia campaigning for him so you know that looks to me like there's some disarray in their party our party is united. but the gym is going around the advice of states between its democratic leaning and its southern more rural areas which tends to vote republican it's. become pains were nasty with accusations flying back and forth and the race is still too close to call it's. the main focus for both parties now is to make sure their base shows up. and we're seeing how we go out and vote excuse you know please vote democratic for

example take a look thank you so much good for your support thank you the genius being watched as a test for whether the democrats can convert anger at strom into a victory at the ballot box. now to an adverse events that changed the world on this day one hundred years ago bolshevik revolutionaries seized power in russia one of the defining moments of the twentieth century the bolshevik takeover of nov seventh one nine hundred seventeen was masterminded by ilya choi young of know as lenin the communist party leader began preparing for revolution during his years in exile in western europe the russian monarchy was eventually replaced by the soviet union but lennon's vision of a classless society soon gave way to a totalitarian state one hundred years later what is the legacy of the communist dream that is the focus of a new series starting today on news of the first episode looks at the legacy lennon

left behind. the spirit of lennon flooders with the communist flags in a park in st petersburg a dozen young men and women are celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of the october revolution paying tribute to an era they've only read about they'd like to turn back the clock. the absence of the soviet union is only temporary the russian tricolor won't be for long communist facts will fly again. even though our country has taken a giant step backward i'm sure the triumph of socialism. that's our country's only future. that's exactly what russian revolutionaries thought when they stormed the winter palace in st petersburg one hundred years ago they proclaimed a new world of socialism with their leader vladimir lenin. seventy four years later the soviet union collapsed lennon's personality cult became something of

a sinister joke the self-styled leader of the world's working class reduced to a tourist attraction at red square. a hundred years later i say the revolution was wrong. we should have continued to live under the dark life today to be better. when a country has there should be a revolution. russian officials appear ruffled by the celebrations it's been a long time since parades were held at red square that was back when kremlin leaders addressed the masses from the tribune of the lenin mausoleum. today's kremlin officials are making sure their historical narrative prevails official historians say the october revolution centennial is a dangerous inspiration for new protests. russia needs to look at the revolution differently the tragic events that led to the breakup of our country and huge losses should serve as a lesson for the future so that something like that you never happens again. i want

to bring you. a russian population united in support of the kremlin that's the leadership vision the goal is to regain imperial strength more critical historians say that's why the kremlin is uncomfortable with the october revolution anniversary . pyar as a system of government plays a hugely significant role for russian leaders today. ariel ideology will be right in their putin's platform when he runs for president next year he wants to deliver a strong russia to the russians as mutual. a strong russia is in the offing not another revolution a century later lenin's ideology is not in the kremlin inspirational playbook consolidating power certainly is. well let's bring indeed abuse moscow

correspondent yury russia for more on the story. this is a big anniversary but one as we saw the russians are having a hard time coming to terms with tell us more about the complexities behind london's legacy hi sue me i think there are many reasons for this in a verse or is so difficult for russians nowadays after all of the to pollution was a radical our people and our people is something president putin doesn't want in this country today and all the reasons don't want to either since nine hundred seventeen each generation of russians has lived a cataclysmic upheaval for us that the box of evolution about talking about right now then millions of lives lost in world war two and at last to the collapse of the soviet union and to the economy with it since then for russian stability metals and people associate revolution more than anything with instability so controversial anniversary will there be any official celebrations.

yes but not the big ones during the soviet period nov seventh was a public holiday and one of the biggest day to liberation simply here today however is an ordinary working day and the public holiday has been moved to the event before with which was designated national unity day a military parade on the red square will take place later today but it will commemorate not to the revolution itself but the october revolution parades held on the square in ninety four to one from which the soviet soldiers went directly to the front lines of world war two and also a communist rally will be held closed to rights could be i will be reporting live from that and it's cold outside but i'm already well prepared for it fred that's very important yuri no even in russia lenin as we said is also seen as a contra controversial figure his legacy but his body is actually still preserved in a moderately i'm right on the red square why is that and could we see that change now

i don't think so there are still many elderly communists and ordinary people in this country who adorable any and who associate with humans the soviet union the country of the lost and with it to their soviet identity so today's leaders in russia understand if lenin is removed from his smell soleil and buried with his family as he actually wanted to be too many russians would be upset i always said also the russians are going to vote in presidential elections next year do you think that stirring up memories of this revolution could actually cast a shadow over that vote. well although there are some russian politicians who like to stir up conspiracy i don't think the conditions today are comparable to those one hundred years ago sunni modern russia is an open and very pluralistic society that certainly deserves a democratic president and government but once again people want stability here people are afraid of the my diet evolution in ukraine that least of the version is

they are presented to me through prague and propaganda in the russian state media occasional protests in big cities organized by opposition position politician alex and of on the don't change the fact that the vast majority of russians supported their president and his name is with me. all right i did every year earshot of covering the one hundredth anniversary of the october revolution or yuri thank you and stay warm now three countries the three wine makers one wine and it's very much in the spirit of the european treaty that it shares the same name with growers from france germany and luxembourg have come together to create a wine cellar that celebrates close ties rather than old rivalries and they named their hybrid after the luxembourg town of schengen which is where the you drew up plans for a passport for a cross border travel well the result of the winemakers experiment is

a fitting tribute to european unity. his great square where for decades important european treaties have been signed in the town or shang and in luxemburg henry rupert's is an eighth generation winemaker here second one is not as well known as the treaty which has its name but that could change because right across from his vineyards over the border and the german town of pale and silent other vignettes of thomas schmidt also a passionate wine maker schmidt came up with the idea of making a wine from three countries luxembourg germany and france. french wine makers rumpled pack a completed the trio his then yacht is just a few kilometers away in france three countries three winemakers one wine. and the goods of. the borders are open why should we work together and combine our experience from germany luxembourg and france that's what brought us three together

we've learnt a lot from it. or showing in corner is the wine on the label the three regions red for the german state of silent plea for luxembourg and yellow for france in the past war was waged at these borders among our grandfathers had fought in wars against each other our fathers then lived alongside each other and now we are making wine together and our children go to school together here in shanghai school and they great ultimately end up in the same bottle. as the social and it's certainly rare from a geological geographical point of view that three countries bordering each other all produce wine and that's happening here in this region in chang and transporting in europe in a glass showing just how harmonious europe can be. a reminder now of our top stories that we're following for you u.s.
