we need to produce wonderful batteries for cars so that all cars with one in electricity with no emission but there is with high capacity over the tricity it will take us hundreds of kilometers it's a story toughening problem it's chemistry it's physics it's material science. who would do it it would take time to do that.

this is you've got big news coming to you live from berlin tens of thousands of people can make activity in bali into these authorities fear a major explosion at mount ongoing is imminent one hundred thousand people have been told to evacuate and thousands of air travelers are stranded ports are coming up. pope francis rise into controversy he's been given a warm welcome in myanmar but the crisis over the persecution of the will hinge on muslim minority that cast a shadow over his visit. and germany's chancellor tries to little her rivals the social democrats in to adopt a grand coalition with a conservative blog but they are divided over how to respond. i don't welcome i'm with that she about thank you very much for company. a red

alert has been issued on the indonesian holiday island of bali as fears rise of a major volcanic eruption mt ago has been rumbling since august but now it's starting to emit smoke and lava forty thousand people have been evacuated but many more still need to move and with flights grounded because of the ash many travelers in the popular popular tourist destination are stranded. around are gone in for the first time since one thousand nine hundred sixty three bali on its most serious alert level for the second time in three months. and there is a high possibility that a bigger eruption could happen. authorities have now extended bali's exclusion zone to areas within the ten kilometer radius of the volcano is crater. over one hundred thousand local residents have been ordered to leave their homes and stay in evacuation centers instead.

of that love i thought that was sad that we're so afraid after seeing the huge black smoke rising from the volcano. so those of us who live in the danger zone decided to leave. the. airports in bali and lombok have been forced to close leaving thousands of tourists and business travelers stranded at. the facility. to go to. sleep i got the feeling we had come from a ship it was feet to the chicken. littles. so we don't know what's it feel like the overnight. the country's geological agency sas the volcano is now spewing out lava and that indicates

a major eruption could be imminent. before me are joined by david keys a vulcan homages at oxford in a city in the u.k. welcome dave now this will cain all is spewing ash and is suing smoke how close are we to a major explosion is inevitable and imminent. so i think really i only have the information from the last eruption to go on i'm going is a very. it's all kind of iraq's every fifty or one hundred years and the last eruption was one hundred sixty three and so how the percent of the eruption is very much like the pattern seen in one nine hundred sixty three where the eruption began with some steam and then ash explosions and then the reports are. now in the ninety sixty three eruption the eruption did escalate but only about after about a month of background activity so it's certainly highly possible that the router will become larger and it's being very well managed at the moment and the

geologists on the ground will be keeping it on what what is happening as it progresses so what are the signs to experts like you all seven people on the ground are you look for to determine whether an explosion is imminent. yes i think the nine hundred sixty three eruption happened at a time when there wasn't monitoring when we didn't have such large populations and it was one hundred twenty years since the previous eruption i think now things are very different the intonation indonesian agencies have a very good. experience of monitoring and managing the kind of crises but now that eruption is big. is going to be very difficult to actually assess what exactly is going to happen next. that the team on the ground we're measuring signs from the volcano the gases coming out the shaking of the earthquakes and of course we have

global satellite alternations so we can actually see the clouds from space so i think. you know what in some ways we might not see the eruption escalate until it's actually happening but when it does. it will certainly be detected ready detected so i think that the evacuation is now. absolutely required and that the regions that are being evacuated are the areas that were most badly affected during that last eruption and do it briefly david b think what is the biggest danger posed by evil kaino is that the law is that the ash. at the moment in the case of. the most danger is actually pretty. particular the way it's getting mixed up with the rainwater and turning into these cold which could be deadly. eruption escalates in size. has or to be aware of what we are collapsing of the actual out. which is of

course the kind of guy who's also highly disruptive it's the tiny particles are. very damaging. right david bought a vulcan on a just at oxford university thank you very much for sharing your expertise with us . turning out to me and mom where pope francis says i'm at it with a mummy and mass powerful army chief and i'm sure you're meeting at the start of a historic trip to the country francis is the first pope to visit me in ma he's making the trip to encourage the country's small catholic communities less than one percent of myanmar identifies itself as catholic the pontiff is expected to highlight the plight of refugees in meetings with me and ma civilian and religious leaders. now hundreds of thousands. are still facing persecution and violence in man ma may they hope the pope's visit will bring more attention to their plight.

papal seventy is on sale in front of the st mary's cathedral in young gone. this is the pope's first visit to me and. christians are a minority here just like the muslim or hindu who for months have been fleeing persecution in the country's west it's a sensitive topic that threatens to overshadow the pope's visit when we have so many conflicts in our country i hope the pope brings peace and strength for the christian minority. he shouldn't bring up the russian issue that would just anger the buddhist majority here they don't want him to get involved. i think it's ok if he just makes a general reference to the situation and that everyone should have equal rights. and they move the ball more many catholics are afraid of being discriminated against just like the right to injure. people refer to the muslim minority as bengali or illegal immigrants from bangladesh even mentioning that woodrow hinge or as the pope often hands is considered taboo

a cardinal himself his boss not only requested you know not to expect this work because in this time of history that something unwanted consequences may happen so he lost face forces possibly lost last week me and mine bangladesh signed an agreement stating that for him to refugees will soon be repatriated back to me and . the details of the agreement however remain unclear advocacy groups for the british people say the agreement is too vague devoted to the monitors and yes should be involved and involve them so that. donkeys. that it will get their citizenship. is that good help us a patient and a future. but the question remains how political can the pope be and me and mom and how. much moral authority can be sure because he won't want to offend the country's deeply buddhist population. down to a take a look at some other stories making news around the world a fringe party of the religious right in pakistan says it's ending its blockade of

parties could form a government to end the political deadlock left by september's election chancellor angela merkel's conservative alliance now says a renewed coalition with the center left social democrats is the best option for the country that's after talks to form a government with the greens and the pro-business free democrats collapsed merkel spoke just a short while ago about the importance of delivering stability for germany as quickly as possible let's have a listen. db you don't i don't my opinion forming a stable government after elections is an intrinsic value in and of itself and maybe all parties are considering the fact that this is important for the people for our capacity to act on the european playing field when it comes to foreign policy and when it comes to solving problems. that is or because until a sparrow is following the story joins me now from outside the headquarters of the

social democrats and welcome john was not just a megaphone like she's making a strong appeal in support of the grand coalition do you think this will persuade the s.b. the rank and file the majority are against a grand coalition. while we can certainly say that members of the social democrats are divided about what the party should do in the next few weeks and in the next few months where there's some who certainly say that the s.p.d. should be willing to talk and if conditions are met then also willing to enter another grand coalition there are those who still believe that a grand coalition of crackly harm the party instead of benefiting the party in the long term and they argue this by saying that the bad result of social democrats hard in the elections that i'm a twenty four were actually a result of being in a grand coalition with angela merkel's conservatives for the past four years so these are the types of discussions that the s.p.d. leaders and the s.p.d.

members have been discussing to see whether it is or it isn't in the party's interest to form another grand coalition for now it is important to stress that they have left that strict opposition to forming our grand coalition and they have insisted that they're at least willing to talk to the conservatives to see if there's any common ground i don't know surely america's desperation could be the social democrats opportunity what will the s.p.d. be demanding do you think in group return for their support. that's correct amrita yes but he could certainly in that regard at least present some of the proposals that they would like to be part of the grand coalition they would probably do so in the areas of social justice which they have presented on various occasions we're talking here about pensions or about health insurance those kind of areas also for example european reforms those are areas that social democratic members have been discussing here but it is obviously still unclear to what extent

they could actually present those proposals because although as you say it could certainly be an opportunity for them there would still be a second party if you were in the grand coalition the grand coalition would still be led by angela merkel's conservative so that makes it unclear to what extent the social democrats could actually present conditions and where those conditions would actually be met and what the s.p.d. leader martin shows he was dead set against a grand coalition after the election result what's going to happen to him do you think well he's certainly facing a very big challenge there's no doubt about that precisely because you mention the key point he was opposed to that idea of the new grand coalition but if he manages to get those concessions that we've been discussing about if he manages to push forward some of the key proposals of the s.p.d. then that could be something very important for him as well his future will ultimately be decided in an up coming party conference of the social democrats and

there's we will see whether he will be leading the party in the next process or whether he will have to step down. the s.p.d. headquarters in berlin thank you very much. finally from me a royal romance is headed for wedding bells britain's prince harry has announced his in gage meant to us actress meghan markle the pair have been dating for over a year but only made their first public appearance together in september at an event for wounded veterans in toronto a statement from kensington palace said the pair became engaged earlier this month they're set to wed spring. a surprise in verdicts in the fraud trial against former drugstore giant slacker jail time is given but not to the boss and says more coming up shortly in our business section with ben.
