fog in delhi leads authorities to shut schools affecting more than five million students pollution levels are expected to get even worse in the coming days. and the european commission wants carmakers to further cut emissions a tall order for german companies. plus a classic encounter puts germany's national soccer squad to the test germany gears up to battle england on friday a vital chance for the world champions to test their lineup ahead of next year's world cup. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program thanks for joining us. u.s. president donald trump has arrived in china for what his aides view as the most significant part of his five country tour of asia chinese president xi jinping and

his wife gave the u.s. president and first lady a private tour of the forbidden city a compound in the center of beijing and talks between the two presidents are set to focus on trade and north korea the u.s. hopes that china will ramp up economic pressure on its ally to abandon its nuclear ambitions meantime north korea also the focal point of trump's last stop south korea before leaving seoul trump delivered a stark warning to be young in a speech to south korean lawmakers listen at the regime has interpreted america's past restraint as weak in this this would be a fatal miscalculation this is a very different administration than the united states has had in the past today i hope i speak not only for our countries. but for

all civilized nations when i say to the north do not underestimate us and do not try. well meantime china's president xi jinping has been showering trump with a lavish warm welcome that we can see illustrated here but the tone it could change still ahead tricky talks between two world superpowers over a host of divisive issues. trade in north korea the two themes dominating president trump's trip around asia now converge at his next stop china it's one of america's largest trading partners and north korea's major sponsor before leaving for china from south korea trump expressed high hopes for his meeting with president xi jinping will find out how helpful soon but he really has been very very helpful so china is trying very hard to solve the problem with

north korea trade could be trickier trade imbalance is a big issue for trump he even said it got him elected one year ago and it's really big with china the u.s. a global leader in services enjoys service trade surpluses with china and many other countries but trade in goods easily wipes out these gains in two thousand and sixteen that left the u.s. in a three hundred ten billion dollar hole with china which trump is keen to climb out of two of the world's most powerful leaders haven't always seen eye to eye but there may be room for common ground on this a business person you know. you know the president president stated this. time there is a business a state. so businessmen and business state they would understand oh let's do business together. while they have very different leadership and speaking

styles trump and she appear to be. forging a relationship based on mutual business interests. let's get a quick check now some other stories that are making news around the world the u.s. democrats have won several high profile victories in state and may oral elections ralph north have seen here winning a tight race over his republican rival. other wins for the democrats for the state of new jersey and the new york city's mayor's office the elections were a key test of voter sentiment exactly one year after donald trump one the white house. people in vietnam have begun the cleanup following last weekend's flash floods more than half of the ancient town playing on remains underwater authorities say the least eighty nine people died in the floods they were triggered by a typhoon that struck the south of the country on saturday. germany could become the first european country to recognize a third gender that is after

a ruling from the country's highest court it found that people who don't see themselves as either male or female have a right to have their identity bracket nighest lawmakers now have until the end of next year to change the birth register and to draw new roles on how does any gender is designated an earlier we asked our political correspondent kate brady what will this change mean as a result so by the end of two thousand and eighteen people in germany will be able to register their birth either as male female all this the gender and exactly how that will be designated is still a little unclear but the court in calls or with this morning suggested as a designation search into a diverse or any other positive designation of a gender now there are around eighty thousand people in germany that identify as intersex so this is obviously going to change many many lives for the positive in

germany. british short while ago authorities in india's capital delhi have closed all schools as dangerously high levels of pollution choked the city for a second day in some areas pollution readings peaked at the most severe possible level on the government's air quality index doctors are calling it a public health emergency and of war and war. have warned that sick and elderly residents to stay indoors officials say that air quality is set to deteriorate further in the coming days. and the correspondent joins us now from delhi and kathy we can see that you're actually taking precautions there how are people how are you dealing with the situation. well right exactly like this so now i take it off of course to be able to speak to

you better on a day like this it's really quite a heavy time of delhi as you can see i would always take my and my my mask if i go out if i have to go out otherwise i try to stay inside. and i detest expand you buy so if we take a look on this laser tag that we have to quickly change the q i needed to five hundred were just like. very hazardous level of course already and it's really dangerous for the house so this is just to demonstrate why you can't see anything behind me usually we would see a tower over there are skyscrapers nothing if you ask me on a personal level it's definitely frustrating. to have a smart kid who is like running to the door saying out and i can't let him out i have to somehow cage him into the flat but. having said this of course i'm still part of an elite who can afford an asset or inside who can afford to isolate the flat and here comes the sad part i think because

a large part of belize population even doesn't realize and it's not aware of the really has it just level it's now and the really disastrous effect on the health. and to that end is the government doing anything to promote to that awareness getting that word out to people about what it is that they need to do to protect themselves and what are they doing to just reduce the pollution levels generally speaking how was this caused got you. well it's costs through many many different factors and this exactly makes it so difficult to find a solution and to play the blame game as we say here so first of all you have delis geographical situation which is rich is extremely favorable for this situation now then you have the farmers and the surrounding states right now who burn their crops these days and all of this is coming to delhi then of course you have the old diesel cars which are still on the road you have generators and you have poor in

the streets in the night who make fire to just get warmer and all these factors come together oh i just forgot the construction sites all over the city who of course also produce the dust so all this mix together is what we see right now but this is the government doing well if you ask me much too little much too late there are some measures which stop doing nala so they make to make it cheaper to take the metro for example they make it more expensive to park the car but this is nothing which really helps in the longer term and having lived in the city for more than four years really seeing the same situation every year again so it's quite a frustrating time for people living in delhi and we can see it so evidently behind you there are those levels of smog those levels of pollution cocktail will let you go now and put that mask back on to take care in a deli. if you're watching news told to come on the program rohingya muslims flee

danger in myanmar only to find misery we speak with a photographer who is documenting their plight in bangladesh camps. but first we're turning to the economy the economy here in germany we have some fresh figures monica jones is here to tell us more yes and good figures there sara the german economy is in a very good place right now that's according to a report published by the government's economic advisers the so-called five wise men in their annual report the experts state a strong upsurge with two percent growth forecast for the current year and even more in twenty eighteen and that goes hand in hand with low unemployment and decent tax revenues both of a financial leeway which the german government would do well to make use of the say the experts investment is needed in education and research as well as in infrastructure like track and road building what faster internet access let's get the view from the frankfurt stock exchange where daniel corp is standing

by for danielle so that it's official there isn't enough cash for a bigger investment will we see any. yeah those were very much appreciated by investors here at the trading floor more money more room for investments less taxes but of course there's a certain limit we heard chancellor angela merkel also stating that she wants kind of a mix of reforms and new investments and of course there are limits right now they are trying to form this new government and we already heard in the past that those new investment the new government wants to do could be up to an amount of one hundred billion euros but according to american they're only thirty billion euros available tomorrow there's going to be a very interesting day because the german government will receive the annual tax report they are going to know how much money how much taxes they will receive from

it even individuals and companies so this is going to be really interesting and a very good indication what's going to happen all right what we do know though is that this and certainly next year we can expect strong economic growth perhaps too strong i mean are there any fears out there that the economy might be overheating yet that's exactly what the five wise men also have been saying that there could be this sort of overheating which then could even result into a negative effect also very interesting from the investor's perspective they have been clearly asking for a stop of the bond purchasing program of the european central bank it was announced just a few weeks ago that this would be cut down to only fifty percent starting from january on but extended until fall but they're saying that this is not any more necessary at all all right dan you're cool in frankfurt thank you so much. european car makers are about to be hit by a new set of challenges the e.u.

commission proposes to slash allowed auto emissions by another thirty percent that are several carmakers are already having trouble meeting existing targets according to a study by international consultancy firm p a consulting let's take a look comic as in europe currently aim for new cars to emit an average of maximum ninety five grams of c o two per kilometer and that means that someone else can produce more than this as long as others are more environmentally friendly german car makers however are exposed dima and b.m.w. cannot meet existing targets according to the report their emissions are still well over the existing threshold toyota and p.s. a are in a better position at eighty nine and eighty seven grams respectively they already come in well below the current target but the industry as a whole is not moving fast enough in reducing emissions and that is why the e.u. wants to extend reductions until twenty thirty and lower the allowed limits to

sixty six grams of c o two per kilometer of a german car makers the new rules could be a game changer. there's a lot at stake and nowhere more so than in germany carmakers here were on tenterhooks as they waited to find out the new rules of the game the european commission proposes a thirty percent reduction to car carbon emissions by twenty thirty otherwise car makers will face penalties it's a thorn in the side of germany's car industry already grappling with the fallout of the diesel emissions scandal. but the new plan also allows car makers to offset their overall target if low and zero emissions cars surpass the e.u. benchmark. taking a closer look at the country's auto industry the livelihoods of some eight hundred thousand people depend on it german carmakers produce fifteen million vehicles worldwide each year that amounts to around four hundred billion euros in revenue

almost a fifth of g.d.p. . so it's hardly a surprise that german carmakers enjoy a rather cozy ties with lawmakers in the past efforts to get tough on regulation have been met with fierce resistance here's what the head of germany's automotive industry association had to say back in july. the older mislead. the wrong kind of political intervention could threaten the car industry. as long as politicians proposed guidelines instead of interfering with technology this sector will continue to succeed in the past politicians or bureaucrats making decisions on technology has not been good for jobs or for the economic development of the country for the shift to go to the shop you can begin to slow. jobs and economic development under threat environmentalists say such arguments have enabled car makers to get away with far too much the auto industry may have

a sympathetic ear in germany but on a european wide level there may be a bumpy road ahead. and correspondent is following the story for us in brussels so. your commission proposal once comic has to reduce emissions by thirty percent by the twenty thirty what more does the proposal entail. the proposal also says that it's it has incentives to entice car makers to sort of be ambitious and to reach those goals as quickly as possible it also does have some sanctions carmaker will have to pay around ninety five euro for every microgram above the goal if for every new car sold sold the money rule in the end has to be paid we don't know of course how strictly that will be implemented and it also says that it tries to strike the balance between being environmentally and vicious and on the other hand guarding the competitiveness of the european car industry so it does not

prescribe certain technologies it says is the europe does need to become a leader in global car making it in renewable of global technologies however will continue to be allowed in the european union if this proposal really will be implemented so just this proposal have enough bite to make environmentalists happy. it certainly doesn't it really falls behind what everybody hoped and what even some european countries had proposed and wanted the netherlands for instance france or sweden and some other countries smaller countries had said they would be perfectly happy to aim for forty percent reduction off. c o two emissions from cars till twenty thirty and so they are disappointed of course the greens and the liberals and left in the european parliament are mess of the

disappointed and says that the european mission the european commission has given in to that pressure from the lobbyists and of course we did see the lobbying from not only the german car industry but even from the german foreign minister who used to be economics minister who wrote a last minute letter to brussels something that is really quite unheard of and and sort of created a lot of fury so negative reactions the commission defends itself and says moralists this is the best we could do under the circumstances but there are many people who are very unhappy about this. from our studios in brussels thank you so much for this. well gather those we'll keep an eye on business for the rest of the ousted newbies who join him and we have more international news now with sara. sorry for jumping into your shot there we're going to head now to some information because the u.n.

security council has again condemned myanmar's treatment of the road in jos the muslim minority faces violence that the u.n. calls quote ethnic cleansing today we are exploring the crisis through the work of one photographer before we speak with him we want to show you some of his images because they are quite powerful there are a hindu they are fleeing their villages in myanmar's raw kind state because rights groups say that the burmese army and its militias have been killing and raping and setting their homes on fire now before this crisis began recall that there were some one point five million they were living in iraq and state there now over six hundred thousand of them they have fled me on more and they are going to camps in neighboring bangladesh the sheer number of rohingya arriving in these camps has caused a humanitarian emergency monitors call it a manmade disaster there have spent their savings to get the camps to get to the camps and on makeshift shelters once they get there they depend on aid groups for

their food and other basic needs so the images that you have just seen we mentioned were taken by a photographer in instagram or it is push on the show not on he is visited these camps last month for one of our social platforms instagram account at stories he joins us now from our new delhi studio first of all thanks so much for being with us this afternoon what were your impressions when you arrived at the camps. yeah so when they first of a with the cam. we actually had a camera early in the morning and as soon as we crossed of bangladesh i. encountered this group of huge huge number of refugees standing in a line from forty and we were dead at five am and there were children.

keeping you know a lot in the line and i asked so what is this distribution about and they said it's for food and video is that food distribution most of it was started levon am so for seven hours before they were doing up thousands of them and this was just the first camp so they're like five to six more camps that oh you know forming like this where thousand and thousands of people are queuing up from four am just for you know basic amenities. and food items so that was my first impression was the magnanimously of the camp the huge numbers there and you know the lived in a small docks all around full of people. that they have made after they have arrived in bangladesh so one thing that is very palpable when you walk around the camp is that there is these people arrived here so i have been and if we do situations before before floods for weeks and there is this you know that it is

doing that we'll go back to our homes one day but in this case we. there was no going back so there was the space museum and the air there were just finality about this is where they're going to live and that's what was you know the first impression that i phone when i entered the camp absolutely so you're describing basically you know a situation there which has been relatively wretched for some of the people who have been fleeing these these circumstances just in order to get to the camps we want to actually share the story about one woman you photographed her we're about to see that photograph so madhav perhaps you can tell us a little bit more about her as we see that photograph. so this wasn't a run i was working i don't belong camp that's. just camp in the area this was formed in one thousand nine hundred two but people knew would afridi's and old if we'd used right now stay there and there were those women

sitting beside like you know these with basically sitting beside starlet blocks that under construction temporary dotted blocks actually just sitting there and she was sitting there is a positive damns and i asked let me ask a story so she said she has traveled from my in my seven days ago on foot and she lost her husband on that we when they were skating and he was hacked by you know militia there and she said and then she said i am missing my husband and i am here and i don't know how dos will food home to us for food someone said city will get food so i'm sitting here so i delayed that you know i have this information i should do something about it's a walk to a nearby you know well indeed and i said this is this lady she she need some you know at least my d.d. and so they're well and they walk up. and gives it a card and then she broke down that you know finally she can go and get some relief so it was something that even touched me because seeing so many stories there there

was this woman who was shy you know who didn't have us by and she was missing him and couldn't ask for food for like seven days without you know. you know going on our skin so it was a i feel good that she got some relief but it was also a very sad situation and her story is just one of so many in fact we know that many of these stories are also coming from children because approximately it's been estimated sixty percent of those well into muslims who are fleeing are children in fact we have another photo a photo about anya tell us a little bit more about her story. so. there's a seven year old girl who was actually when i first saw her she was feeling water on one hand and then i started following her to the camp to her house and so here

was a family. of she had a younger brother and sister and she was helping out and mother cooked food and her mother seems to have you know come from of view point she said that you know i don't think there's anything to go back to and we need to mourn and i want to get educated i want to give education and she had already lost one of her sons to look on me as a brother to the conflict so long that we again on the. bangladesh you know he was killed by the militia so she was saying that if the school we need schools we need to educate the people there are looking forward for the future you know so that's what is happening there. that hard in bangladesh now and they know they can go back absolutely high hopes for the next generation as so many people try and find a better life thank you so much for telling us a little bit more about the plight of these one hundred muslims that are in those camps there and bangladesh. push on the show this one not on excuse me
