heard in their prayers as they gather outside mando plaza home naval base of the missing submarine. relatives say they are becoming increasingly distressed as hopes the vessel has been located a raised and then dash among those unaccounted for is eleanora soirees brother how much she's putting her faith and his strength of character on when they feed everybody will tell you that he's an excellent person he must be keeping his crewmates calm he's a really special person that's why we'll wait to hear because we. have any. and now naval officials have confirmed that an unusual sound detected a week ago near the last known position of the vessel could provide an important clue to the fate of the submarine. basically we received information of an abnormal event

a unique short violent a non-nuclear consistent with an explosion. authorities say that the search will continue until it is clear what happened to the forty four crew members on board the air race on one for now the families of the missing sailors are left with their hopes and prayers. mian bar in bangladesh have signed a deal to allow members of the persecuted row hinge a muslim my door minority group to return home to me and mar hundreds of thousands of fled across the border recently to escape a violent military crackdown it's not clear how many refugees will be allowed to go home and how many even want to. they fled to relative safety here in bangladesh bringing stories of homes burned to the ground and family members raped and murdered at the hands of our security force says now they're deeply skeptical

of going back. i don't trust the myanmar government they're always like this. this is my second time leaving home. and my husband has left three times. they live in a massive refugee camp but despite the appalling conditions some say they'll only return home if myanmar meets their demands. if they stop harassing us. and if we can live free like the. other ethnic. children should also get government jobs just like the others. for months now the un has been calling on mars treatment of the ethnic cleansing on wednesday washington finally followed suit the organization human rights watch has

welcomed that decision. the big question now is what is the u.s. going to do about it what they should do is have targeted sanctions military commanders that were in charge of the. people in the command of the military but in myanmar there are still lots of support for the military and its actions and a little love for the. many in the majority buddhist nation view them as illegal immigrants now they're facing a return to myanmar with no clear guarantee of their safety. all right time for business with kristoff and it's only a month to go to work christmas and it's time to go shopping that is right so me it's crunch time for retailers revenue traditionally shoots up in these weeks in the united states friday after thanksgiving or black friday as it's called officially kicks off the shopping spree now the philadelphia police coined the

phrase black friday back in the one nine hundred sixty s. when friday after thanksgiving sales created traffic jams and drew so many on movie shoppers that it darkened their workday at much of that type has prevailed in new york city macy's started its black friday discounts a day early as a flood of shoppers rushed into the department store on thursday night many places people camped out all night in front of department stores to be the first to be let in by retailers in germany you may be interested to know have created their own version of black friday but it is a hard sell many consumers believe it's just another trick to make a normal sale and often it is there's more. there may not be tents out on the german high streets but there's definitely a black friday bug in the retailers even have black week advertising seven days of rock bottom prices opinion on the street is mixed which for them i like discounts on electronics i'm happy to join

a. government. there's no point. people who buy things whether they're cheaper now or not it has. taken this on from america and its stupid ass and the internet is also awash with special offers experts predict additional sales of one point one billion euros and friday in germany alone. is a big enough in almost us that's an average of one hundred seventy per person on friday and on cyber monday another one hundred twenty five because that's a big incentive for retailers especially in electronics or pretty nearly twenty hundred. but shop with caution say consumer protection groups not every discount is a bargain. dramatic price cuts of forty fifty or even eighty percent might be too good to be true. keep a cool head do some research and use price comparison websites to check if it's

really a good offer and whether or not to go for it. in a sample test last year only half the products were genuine bargains a quarter of them were listed at market value and for the rest shoppers paid more than they would have elsewhere. but for some more analysis let's cross over to our financial correspondent daniel corp and frankford daniel german retailer say black friday accounts for an extra one point one billion euros in revenue put this figure into perspective for well one point one billion euros of course sounds like a lot of money but when you look at the entire year of two thousand and seventeen it has estimated that retailers here in germany will make a total of about five hundred billion to your also of course this is kind of a small figures but experts are calling black friday already important here what they actually consider as even more important is that they're really seeing that

the consumer behavior here in germany and in europe has really changed used to be the case that the biggest christmas. shopping time was at the beginning off december pretty much in the first two weeks now with this high of off black friday and they're telling me now that it has shifted to the end of a no event so yes it's an important day here for the shops in germany then you're for a couple of years now black friday has been followed by cyber monday with special deals for online shoppers but it seems as if this distinction is a bit of data. yeah it seems you're right a little bit our data just this morning i was checking my inbox i had about fifteen different e-mails you know from buying a new tie new suit or computer so this cyber monday is a little bit out of date at amazon for example they are really trying to use this time they're not just having a black friday sale or

a cyber monday sale they pretty much have an entire week off sales on buyers i want to share this with you as well might actually have to wait a little bit longer for their parcel because amazon now in the christmas shopping time again has those disputes with the worker unions here and germany big logistic center of i'm a zone in life is on strike today so it might take a little bit longer to get those discounted products then europe in frankfurt thank you china's trade with north korea plunged last month of imports falling to their lowest level in years underscoring beijing stands to enforce u.n. resolutions aimed at reigning in pyongyang's missile and nuclear programs after two intercontinental ballistic missile tests in july the united nations imposed sanctions on north korea earlier this week or china had announced it would suspend regular flights to the isolated neighbor. how do you knock out an opponent north

korean soldiers show their guest from china how to do it over the weekend but the beijing delegation knows who really controls the ring or in this case the economy even a visit to a shoe factory in pyongyang can't hide the fact that china is importing less from north korea than it has in yours. as late as this summer trade between the two nations had reached a new high four hundred twenty six million u.s. dollars according to chinese customs that was despite u.n. sanctions it began falling noticeably in september after the first missile tests by october trade was in a dive. that means no more trucks to be seen carrying coal iron ore or fish across the friendship bridge separating the two countries u.n. sanctions have forbidden the products for months it was only after u.s. president donald trump openly threatened to boycott chinese firms for the country's business with north korea the trade began its dive now there are only north korean airlines to see at the pyongyang airport air china has stopped their flights north

korea disputes that sanctions are working it also hopes that the more than one hundred thousand tourists who visit the country each year can help fill coffers. siemens workers have taken to the streets of berlin to protest plans to slash thousands of jobs years of the cuts came shortly after the company posted a record profit that's sparked fury among staff members who accuse the engineering giant of failing to live up to its responsibility. they're determined to let their voices be heard siemens workers turned out in droves to protest plans to cut almost seven thousand jobs and closed two factories in eastern germany. that the student recession asian mood is very know there's a lot of uncertainty and insecurity this is about livelihoods and families consider that the plant life is he's going to be shut down completely and where there's very little other economic activity people are horrified and scared and gangs. it's an

especially bitter pill to swallow just weeks after siemens posted every quarter coffers of over six billion euros. the company says it has to respond to changing market conditions even if overall well it's stable. it is a sign that village seems like a contradiction but posting profit in the areas of growth we have many of those but in areas where the market being we structured and we're seeing lots of action is needed this is a hundred. times more country think rates when you pull energy the demand for gas turbines has fallen dramatically that's put the companies power and gas to vision under pressure on prices of jobs on the line. trade unions and even some politicians have called on siemens to rethink its decision they say the company has a responsibility to its workers even when times get tough. theme

parks can be a lot of fun not only for people screaming at the top of their lungs on daring rides but also for operators and communities profiting from the money visitors spent that's exactly what authorities and gore yang are banking on just outside the capital of one of china's poorest regions a new theme park is set to open at the beginning of next year featuring exclusively virtual reality rides. this is china's first virtual reality theme park and it's not just another example of a massive infrastructure investment in the country many hour hoping that this fertile reality themed park will bring more visitors to here not i believe that after the park opens it will change tourism and weezer province and china's southwest like this is an inoperative attraction because it's just different it will definitely have a strong pull and can bring more tourists to. the park which cost one point five

billion dollars to build lies on the outskirts of we on the capital of which is one of china's poorest provinces but while the investment is expected to benefit the region not everyone is convinced the theme parks will improve the lives of locals. there are some projects that are polluting the environment. and we farmers hope that we can get rid of this pollution which. it's bad for the countryside our kids and our society so on in the field because our hundreds of millions have been invested in this infrastructure what remains to be seen is whether locals will be able to benefit. berlin's new airport you may have heard about it was supposed to have opened in june twenty twelve that's two thousand days ago the airport was supposed to bring more business to germany's capital as well but

not much has come out of it so far apart from more construction issues germany's safety authorities now say there are problems with the sprinklers and the fire safety system that means the airport won't be ready for the scheduled opening in twenty twenty one the cost alone are staggering rising from one billion euros to six point six billion at experts say that the airport's design may already be dated. oh the airport a source of great pain to the people here in berlin i'm telling it back to sue now and more on political germany's political deadlock ok yeah chris and we're going to get back to that story in just a moment but first we're going to return to our top story emerson magog way has been a sworn in as the new president of zimbabwe he takes over from robert mugabe who will the country's already thirty years so we're looking at pictures here from the national sports stadium in harare a change of leadership comes after the army moved to depose mugabe last week. with

a new president is about to deliver his inauguration speech we are going to be listening in live to that let's just listen in now on those it b.c. t.v. a very important day in ok should look a certain day and it is a day that we'll. starts the future the future that is full of hope a future that most analysts that we've spoken to as it be seen used say is very much full of promise very much for this offer better things to come in this nation . we see him gaga here a shaking hands as he moves down the line preparing a to give his speech she was a former justice and defense minister

a key ally of robert mugabe and a confidant for many years and we are waiting for him to take the podium to give his speech despite his you know long association with the government she did then go to south africa after he was fired by robert mugabe and returned to the country and that is when the entire transition began to take place very quickly in zimbabwe and you see here are tens of thousands of people gathered in the stadium to watch the ceremony and to celebrate as this transition of power. that we have our correspondent christine wind is in harare she's been following all of this for us and we'll see if we can bring her in here to get some perspective from her christine if you can hear me you know you've been talking to zimbabwe in the past few days following everything that's been going on give us an idea of what

the atmosphere has been like today. very exciting. in every way it is a political commentator some so it's a given the developments of the last couple of days everybody has very strong opinions about the political future of this country what meat what this country really needs there is there's a lot of optimism about a missing not that one coming in much of it is really just share excitement that to be getting a new president off a thirty seven years in office involve ins have loaded no one president in president robert mugabe so the fact that this day has come many people know flawed u.a.d. but they are embracing this and lot of people up pinning their hopes to this moment pinning their hopes on the new president in this and not what they think they hope that he is going to turn the fortunes of this country around that he's going to give the economy the much needed attention that it deserves that they that he is

going to improve their lives for the bit that he's going to engage with governments around the world to get their operation in growing the economy people said they didn't like the fact that mugabe was isolating this country from the rest of the world and and they hope that innocent will will deposit and divert from from the possible that mugabe had been pursuing and go a different way as people very much are are way off limits and not god has been in the poss they know that he was by and large a close very close look at the ally that he was in in force and in fact he's been implicated in presiding over things like beat the violent campaign during the two thousand and three of two thousand and eight election and fall back when zimbabwe had a genocide in the south of this country in a cement a key figure in that so people know who i miss i'm not the guy is they know who the crocodile is but they're hoping that the crocodile was soft in his bites to me that as the country moves forward that he's going to that he's going to stick to his

promises that he said i mean he's already addressed evolving as we became back. on the first day he states is involved is that he's going to serve them and that language really inspired confidence in him he portrayed himself as as one who who had been humbled by the support and who would commit his time in office to improving their lives that it wasn't going to be business as usual that knows me it was going to be better than the other that everybody was going to be equal and that this country is for everybody so there is a lot of excitement it had i had it it is the tool of the day the talk of the town you know it's funny because when he's on television and his face comes up people just erupt in people and have braddy pictures of him on their cars that they're wearing t. shirts off and they're waving doesn't it so there's a there is an exciting atmosphere in the capital one i've never experienced before sumi people very much pinning their hopes for a base and

a bright future on them sonangol whether or not he will deliver city remains to be seen there christine we have seen pictures of people jumping up and down in the stadium singing dancing definitely themes of jubilation there in the national sports stadium and as you said zimbabweans are looking forward with hope and expectation but that also involves looking back christine we touched on the floor a bit earlier but any indication of where robert mugabe is he is not in the stadium today. he's not in the stadium soon and we understand that he has opted to stay at home we understand that the president visited him yesterday and that they both came to the constitution that it best that he stay home and rest and recover really from the events that have unfolded over the past week and a half we understand that president former president mugabe again he's blessing to embassies and now what the design of the of policy has been at pains to state that it it is pursuing the pot that frequency nation yesterday news came out that. the

former president mugabe and the first lady had been granted immunity. and that's you know a lot of zimbabweans you know didn't take too much issue with that they felt that you know mugabe has done for this country that he was a key figure in liberating this country from colonialism and so they feel that it's ok for him to devote the rest of these days in zimbabwe so many zimbabweans not looking to hold a grudge it is a different story though when you talk about the film of his native grace mugabe who have gone as far as telling me that they they hate that they they wanted to to face prosecution of some kind but yet we understand that prison robert mugabe is watching from home today that he has given his blessing to. perhaps indicative of you know the relationship between these two men how it had soured over the last couple of months sumi international viewers may not know this but at times in this and that will be sitting on a post on

a stage with grace mugabe the form of this lady at the podium feeling insulted him at one time she referred to him as a snake whose head needed to be crushed. and when she walked off stage off to having made such reference he would be because she was the first lady so many people now have this sort of sympathy for him as they say he he endured a lot at that at the hands of the first lady who disrespect the table who did not show him the dignity that he that he deserved and as he came out he said that you know he wasn't going to be pursuing a part of revenge and that he was going to be moving forward and urged isn't bob to do the same so yeah that is it for the most obvious and we also understand that they will probably be staying in zimbabwe we we understand the present robert mugabe say that he wants to die in this country and i want i for one can believe that sue me every time i heard robert mugabe speak of zimbabwe he spoke often with with a great sense of ownership he would say my zimbabwe i didn't imagine that he would at any point live out somewhere else and it's out so they will be comfortable here

they are not going to face prosecution that family has accumulated. fost well over they give me they'll be very comfortable at some to take issue with the amount of wealth that they have that they have acquired over the years huge asset sumi i'm talking minds huge commercial farms and some zimbabwean say surely he doesn't need or want to set some of that back to the people that shift so we believe and we understand that he's watching from home today or we do also have a journalist lung and with us who has been joining us from bonn a journalist who's covered zimbabwe for many years you're going to you can hear me just just quickly if you could tell us what do you think robert mugabe is legacy is here and how difficult do you think it will be for zimbabwe to move on from it when i think to come back to rome to mamma got there first i think christine said about language that's vital. there's always used this this kind of it's a duty language but hate language and it's going to stop that for example using the

word posse which means actually kill that is of already a step forward when it comes to robert mugabe i think people remember him as a more or less of a freedom fighter a national hero and that put aside well what happened over the last twenty years and because he was also absolutely correct of most of the people now had grace mugabe put aside what robert mugabe has done so he will be still a hero and that also that's all some reason while the god will make sure that he stays in the country. all right. we're all looking at pictures here of these celebrations taking place in the national sports stadium in harare. rights of states. and the former heads of state. former vice presidents.
