launch some sort of preemptive strike he's told the south korean people that if washington were to make any military maneuvers against north korea that seoul would have to be consulted first however there have been concern here that the u.s. will go in alone and south koreans will be caught in the middle jason these joint exercises are the largest ever should we read anything into that. right well certainly the air power that the u.s. has flown on the korean peninsula this week is. perhaps its largest display of force the south korean government says that these are regular regularly this scheduled exercises they are defensive in nature although local media is reporting that both u.s.

and south korean forces are running drills on simulated airstrikes against north korean nuclear and missile targets i spoke with the u.s. is seventh air force here in south korea they couldn't confirm what kind of exercises are being undertaken this week but certainly the u.s. is is boasting about its air power that it has sent here this week on china has suggested halting these exercises in exchange for a suspension of north korea's nuclear program how is that proposal gone down in seoul right china would like to see a halt to all of us south korean joint exercises not only these ones but ones coming up at the beginning of next year and those exercises that normally take place in late february early march has caused some concern here in seoul last week the unification minister who is south korea's point man on relations with north

korea suggested that maybe they need to be rescheduled because they could coincide with the winter olympics and i think right now south korea would rather have the international community focus on the upcoming games more so the north korea all right jason strother for us there in seoul thank you jason thank you. not to some other stories making news around the world jordan has warned u.s. president donald trump that recognizing drucilla mass the capital of israel could have dangerous consequences trump has repeatedly pledged to make the controversial declaration and move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem in honduras thousands have marched in fresh protests backing leftist presidential candidates although. they say the incumbent president won orlando hernandez is trying to steal last week's disputed election electoral officials have begun a partial recount of some contested ballots the vote sparked deadly protests and

she works twelve hours a day monday to friday in this clothing workshop in istanbul the women here a sewing underwear and iris has to make sure they never run out of fabric. she earns about fifty cents an hour. as the house and i have to of course i'd rather go to school but it's just not possible we have to pay a lot of rent and food the water bill everything is expensive that's why i need to work and help my family. and us is eleven years old and not the only child in this workshop most or has been working here for two years like out us he is from syria. from the moscow's is thirteen he is the oldest among the kids. the youngest here is only six years old. the turkish owner lets us film but only because we promised we would not show him in our report child labor

is illegal in turkey the owner knows this but says the families would be much worse off without the work. these children might be safe from the war and terror all back home in syria but what they really need now is education and the chance to build a future despite efforts by the turkish government to get refugee children off the streets and into public schools many here remain out of the classroom. many other children are send out by their parents to beg on the streets they can be seen everywhere in istanbul. up to one million syrian refugees live in the city about one third of them are children no one knows exactly how many of them are working instead of going to school. has finished work for today she takes me home with her to meet her family.

she has two little sisters her mother's pregnant and had to stop working they don't receive any financial support from the turkish state her father found a job but even with the money. they can still only barely make ends meet. that us we have to surrender to work we don't have any other choice every morning she cries and tells me i want to go to score it's heartbreaking i know she is too young to work and many people would not offer her job because she's still a child but i know the owner of that clothing workshop and he said he wants to help us. so you can actually it was a nationally in syria i was the only one working. and it was enough to support my

family. even my parents. but here it's different rent the kids expenses i just can't do it all on my own. shoulders and. i meet. one of the stumbles district may as he admits the child labor is a problem in turkey one that has grown with the arrival of the syrian refugees. visit. our options are limited. do we try to get these children into our schools give them books and pens and school bags of course we do . but we don't always reach all of them. it's often the case that more help is needed and we are able to give. these the talk. that's why others are trying to help in other says neighborhood syrian

teachers are giving classes even on weekends for children who otherwise wouldn't be able to attend school turkish arabic or math the basics at least. for paris these are precious moments when the sewing machine stop rattling and she can be a child again if only for a few hours. giuliana sent us that report she is back with us in berlin hi yulia what i want one point two million syrian children what was your impression of how they are coping that's the number of course i mean the working children that we met are incredibly strong but still they are children and i noticed that many of them would be talking about things that usually are problems adults would be talking about like our rent is so expensive our electricity bill the water bill things like that so they seem to be aware that they're carrying a really heavy burden on their tiny shoulders and then the older kids you know they

most of them went to school back home in syria but then of course the war happened they had to escape they had to try to settle in a completely new place in a completely new country they learned the language and when then they start to work it's basically like their childhood ends for a few months maybe for a few years oh maybe forever and the real tragedy here is that the war in syria is now going on for seven years but these kids will be needed at some point to go back and rebuild that country but how do you build schools government infrastructure etc if you can't read or write you know also this generation and that's what a lot of the human rights organizations would say is really risking off becoming a lost generation turkey says around half a million syrian children are going to school in turkey are they being integrated into the system well the turkish government is really struggling hard to get all of the children into public schools but of course this is easier said than done. about

one million kids we're talking about the government has announced a plan to get every single refugee child into a public school within the next three years but of course language barriers there are not enough teachers some teachers actually need to specialisation for working with traumatized kids because many kids are traumatized and then you can. consuls the issue of child labor just by providing schooling opportunities you actually have to first provide the parents with the economic means with a chance to integrate into the turkish labor market. syrians can for example officially apply for a work permit in turkey but until now it's possible since two years until now less than one percent really got it because it's just so difficult you need to know turkish so there are a lot of barriers that are actually keeping kids out of school no matter what the government does just very briefly if you can what is the turkish government doing to combat the question of illegal child labor not enough from my understanding so

far and that's what human rights organizations criticized as well there should be more controls of course but they should have a more holistic approach of solving that issue that's my impression of these yulia one reporting for us a thank you very much. monica is here with us now to take a closer look at the euro area indeed sumi thank you so much well europe's on finance ministers will pick the replacement for euro group cheap. later today the job is one of europe's top posts and it was especially crucial during the tumultuous years of the eurozone debt crisis for some years it seemed the eurozone was doomed and with it its a currency but recent data shows there is life in the old dog gets. years of recession on three bailouts if there was ever a poster child for europe's economic crisis it was greece but not the country's

fortunes appear to be turning around growth is returning and borrowing costs of fall and. southern european nations spain and portugal are also showing signs of recovery that's especially good news for the e.u. single currency. since january of this year the euro has risen to around fifteen percent against the dollar landing most recently iran to dollar nineteen. so is it all rosy not quite says the european central bank while things are improving economic with remain italy's fragile banking sector is a big concern and public debt in the country is high should europe's third largest economy find itself on shaky ground the euro would be likely to suffer too. all right for more on the health of the european single currency and the economies that belong to it i'm joined by holger schmieding chief economist at berenberg bank

sometimes in london sometimes here in berlin today you're here berlin good to have you with us so let's just pick up on what we heard in the end i mean the european central bank warns that the euro is not out of the woods just yet if i came to you as a customer and i would ask you for a risk assessment for euro zone economies what would that be like ah i would say that the eurozone economy is probably in better shape and the japanese the british the u.s. economy among the major regions in the developed world the euro going to be actually looks best it's on the right track we still have significant unemployment but it's fourteen fast we still have some banking issues in italy but even there non-performing loans are finally being tackled and declining we have pretty strong growth now in the entire area from greece to ireland so we are making a lot of progress as what makes the eurozone economies better than the japanese for

example or the others that you mentioned. to some extent actually because we had the euro crisis we in the eurozone were forced to tackle of a number of issues our government finances are in better shape than almost anywhere else in the western world there are exceptions within the eurozone yes but if we take the region as a whole public finances are in comparatively good shape or so a number of countries at the periphery have done significant structural reforms france is now joining in on these structural reforms and that means a better growth potential for the future i would say europe is a good place to invest you sound very optimistic do you see any risks what about political instability and even here in germany we don't have a government right now well there's always a risk of life and we do have significant risks in the euro zone comparing them to where we were two three four five years ago the risks are not as acute anymore but of course there are risks the biggest risk is indeed the italian political and

economic situation there will be new elections early next year we have no idea who might win them especially we have no idea whether there might you stable government and whether that government would then do the right things the german political situation is interesting but it's not a risk for the river before have you one way of putting it we also said it's interesting the choice of a u.s. president last year and now we finally see a a reform the u.s. tax reform that everybody was waiting for and the head of the german think tank the evil institute claimants who says that that's a good thing for europe do you agree. in a very short term sense it's probably good because it provides another stimulus the us economy will benefit near term from the extra money which the citizens are given and we will be able to export more however as the business cycle is doing very well anyway we actually don't need that additional stimulus so it would actually have been better thinking of the long run health of the us public finances for instance

to not give that stimulus tax reform a better tech systems including for companies is good but the tax giveaway in the us which is part of the package is actually not what the u.s. and the european economies need at a time when growth is substantial anyway and that just briefly look at the the currency exchange rate the euro against the dollar i do remember i remember so well when the euro actually hit one sixty u.s. dollars i was in two thousand and eight and economies still seemed ok i mean how strong should a currency be in order to reflect a healthy economy the euro is actually believe it or not still slightly undervalued long term fair value to the u.s. dollar is around one twenty five we typically gyrate a lot around that the current world view is fine i think one or two years from now the euro could actually be slightly stronger ok hoggish meeting their chief economist at bear and that bank thank you so much for being here with us today.

well this weekend was the first sunday off advent and that means christmas season in germany is in full swing now germany of course the home of the christmas market with the first ones appeared in the late middle ages hundreds of years now they've grown to become a seasonal economic factor and they are regulated that includes one of its most popular products here in the center of cologne locals and visitors are getting into the festive spirit for many that means indulging in a thief no drink or two. food quality tester all of our maya has come here to check they're up to scratch. and it appears we have a technical problem there we'll return with the divine at

a later date but first it's back to sue me and an engaging story from down under that's right monica thank you well strangely as parliament on monday started debating a bill that could soon legalize gay marriage across the country one lawmaker took the opportunity to propose to his gay partner this debate has been a soundtrack to our relationship we both know this issue isn't the reason we got involved in politics give us tax reform. but in my first speech are defined. by the ring that sits on by the balanced hands that diaby answer the questions we cannot ask. so there's only one thing left to do. ron paul he will you marry me. go back to. what chuck that is the more you can't just let it

go out your record that that was a yes then you. go to life thank you speaker. well done much time for sports now and in the bundesliga will spark entertainment and got back on sunday night a lot that had been on a roll in recent weeks and a win against the walls put them in second place but the visitors knew they needed to put more space between themselves and the relegation zone. data hacking arrived in full speed knowing victory ivory's old club would elevate glovebox to second the false book had other ideas mario gomez found space in the box. in the smalley calmly slotted home. the hosts one after just four minutes. and both spoke was soon two goals to the good.

daniel de davian molly combining brilliantly for the second. fifth goal of the season. but doc did manage to find the back of the nats. boxwoods annoyed by the offside flag two nil to both get half time. midway through the second half it was three nil and game over. just kill a bogey with an absolute paul driver. biggest win of the season. packing making a hasty exit. let's look at the bonus like a standings after match day fourteen no change in the top four hundred and i'm expecting frankfurt to have the best away record in the bundesliga and also lose up at the other end of the only gainers they've now won two of their last three games
