this is detail leaders live from berlin the downfall of a key player in yemen civil war to see rebels turn on film of president ali abdullah saleh killing him in

a rocket and gun attack but what was behind his not also on the program. is vitally optimistic reports the european union says there is no deal with britain on unlock it on mocking the next stage of brecht's and told us despite teresa mayes off on the phony issue of the irish board it will bring you the latest from brussels or from london. police in malta i rest ten people in connection with the murder of journalist stuff they cut to a tattoo on a good lipstick she was reporting on corruption on the island when she was killed in a car bombing in october. this will happen again licensed on efforts here in germany to form a new government that south leaders of the social democrats recommend venturing out as exploratory coalition talks to the conservatives the question now time is come a convince the party back and filed to accept another grand coalition. on this and i'm you know there's one of an unknown number of syrian that child refugees. down work to help their families survive bring your special report from.

i'm phil gayle welcome to the program. the rebels in yemen have killed the country's next president ali abdullah saleh just south of the capital sana'a he was fleeing after abandoning support for the rebels in yemen's complex civil war it's now no closer to ending after attackers ambushed his vehicle with a rocket propelled grenade. it was a gamble that turned fatal for yemen's longtime strongman. who the rebels killed their former ally ex president ali abdullah saleh as he tried to flee the capital sanaa saleh was one of the conflicts central figures his killing comes barely two days after solid tore up his alliance with the who fees in favor of

a saudi led coalition. we will turn a new path with out and start dealing with them in a positive her because what's happened to yemen is enough. those words put the who the rebels on the defensive in santa with clashes spiraling on sunday the rebel group claimed it fired a cruise missile towards a nuclear plant in the united arab emirates with the saudis having the upper hand and talk that iran's backing of the movies may be winning the country's years long civil war enters a potentially critical phase. america transfer out as a middle east expert at balance a free university with a particular focus on yemen they're welcome to day doubly so we saw that in the report that ali abdullah saleh the change sides days before that had abandoned allies that. was this assassination was payback. it certainly was it was

a direct consequence of this but it's important to understand that the alliance between ali abdullah saleh the hostess was a very fragile one so they entered this alliance in two thousand and fourteen but before that they had been at war with each other so they had a history of war and so now this is just silas way of finding a way out of the conflict for himself and his family and his supporters and so the whole he's accused him of betraying alliance in the train betraying the country essentially they're calling it a coup so when when the reports are that he was saying well it's time to talk to the other side we have to negotiate that this was not a man seeking peace this was a man seeking his own opportunity to get out yes certainly he's been trying to talk to the saudis actually since the beginning of the intervention and he's offered to

fight the whole thesis but these are all office that the saudis have not taken on. so now the opportunity was ripe because the united arab emirates were also involved in the conflict saw splitting this alliance between the who sees and saw as an opportunity to actually find a way out of this for and sadducees this opportunity and how significant a plan it was in this conflict when he although he resigned in two thousand and eleven forced by the gulf countries after the eleven month protests they were calling for his. overthrow he was still a part of the political game and yemen he was pulling the strings from from the back of the you and has threatened him with sanctions and then actually sank sex sanctioned him and also the fact that the who these were able to enter the capital

in september two thousand. and fourteen was also due to his help so he was a major player in the conflict and so with him gone now how does that effect this very complicated war well locally we're going to see that the parties to the conflict are going to realign and now the supporters of a saw they're clearly no longer in alliance with these and are going to try to find . a way to an alliance with the other side the saudis supported fighters so we're going to see a shift of alliances on the local ground and the saudis i think are going to. act very aggressive the now i think this clip of the alliance and the who is he's coming out as the stronger actor of the two is also. something that the saudis definitely do not want and it opens the door further for iranian involvement and

yemen so how do we see this them playing out just because they're in the u.n. he's already told that this is a humanitarian crisis but it just seem that they will just keep killing each other until we know what he's left on and that's what it looks like right now i imagine that the who will now try to consolidate their power in the capital and the saudis will not accept it and will continue its military operations and yemen i also don't see that peace talks are an option right now given that the who these are the stronger ones and the death of sally was definitely a blow to the saudi alliance so i imagine that there's going to be more violence and the humanitarian crisis is not going to end anytime soon. sadly i think you're right a transfer thank you so much for joining us here today to thank you. hope of real progress today between britain and the e.u.

has been dashed after reports that a breakthrough had been reached over the irish border european commission a presidential yorker and britain's prime minister theresa may announce that they had not reached agreement in their talks which were designed to unlock negotiations over trade relations. despite our best efforts and to significant progress we. have made over the past days on the street main move toward issues it was not possible to reach a complete agreement today. we know have a common standing on most relevant issues was just to us we are open for discussion . for consideration for the negotiation and further discussion as president has said we have had a constructive meeting today both sides have been working hard in good faith we've been negotiating hard and a lot of progress has been made and on many of the issues there is

a common understanding but it is clear and it's clear crucially that we want to move forward together but on a couple of issues some differences do remain which require further negotiation and consultation and those will continue but we will reconvene before the end of the week and i am also confident that we will conclude this positively. thank you hear more on this from d.w. correspondents barbara vai's all in brussels and burke at mass in london welcome both bob jones let's start with you there was a lot of optimistic talk earlier about an agreement between the u.k. and ireland regarding the border between the republican the north so where did that come from and what went wrong. people had obviously they their dear and there was a draft agreement of course on the table that just things were done and dusted and there was just heaviness enjoy also throughout this month it took a light afternoon when we as we just saw a junco junco came out and dash to everybody's hopes because according to the draft

agreement one had found a formula that would make it possible for northern ireland to stay with the regulations so close to the republic of ireland and that means so close to the regulation in the european union that the two countries could continue or the part of one country and the country could continue to interact as they do now keep the good friday agreement intact keep borders open and everybody would be very happy but this was dashed in the last moment and as you asked phil what happened we think here in brussels that the do you peed the unionist northern ireland party happened in forster must have and it's said here that she was in the telephone through trees of may and obviously there was an about turn on the side of the british prime minister as pick up or then with a mass in london. he's a maze parliamentary majority of course depends on support from the d.p.

let's hear from the foster first. we have been very clear in northern ireland must leave the european union on the same terms as the rest of the united kingdom and we will not accept any form of regulatory divergence which separates northern ireland economically or politically from the rest of the u.k. so burge it must be fosters it has been consistent that line so any deal with ireland granting the north special status was always going to be a problem for teresa mayes. it was always going to be a problem however there was hope here in london that it could be about the wordings and that there could be some compromise however it is a very tough nut to crack because the the d. of p. the unionist for them it's so important that they stay close to the u.k.

this is the border that they don't want basically a border around all and around the island of ireland where northern ireland and ireland have some sort of similar negotiations some similar deal with the e.u. but then that would be different from the u.k. because their main objective is to stay close to the u.k. and not come to some sort of well reunification almost if you would through the back door via this new agreement with brussels and berger despite today's fairly recent recession is confident that we will conclude this positively i wonder where does this optimism come from given the problems from scotland and london when there was only the whiff of a do well for sure i mean we've had said you can the mayor of london reminding everybody that london also voted for staying within the u. and we've heard from wales we've had from nicholas sturgeon and scotland and they're saying well if northern ireland can have a special deal then so can we because also scotland's main objective is to stay

within the e.u. within the single market this is what the people of scotland have voted for so there is a fear that there could be all sorts of constitutional. all sorts of consequences for devaluation of power that we have seen over the last decades. as as a consequence of this deal so yes it's still there are that many issues that the reason may has to are an out and as we've seen it's very very tricky final and brief or to your barber of various of what happens now. what happens now that they'll try to find another bridging formula however logically feel it is impossible to solve this so that everybody is content of because either you have a hard border between northern ireland and ireland where the european union will end in the future after breaks it or you'll have it through the irish sea either northern ireland stays close to the united kingdom or it stays close to the

republic of ireland both is not possible and that's the conundrum that the british negotiators find themselves in now and then we have absolutely no idea how this can be solved within the next three days obviously in brussels burg at mass in london thank you both another source of contention in the backseat negotiations is the role of the european court of justice to rescind mayors promise that britain will take back control of making an interpretation its own laws but the e.u. wants jurisdiction over the rights of a huge citizens living in the u.k. as the two sides untangle these legal puzzle who stands to win or lose the w. went to the court headquarters in luxembourg to find out. the sacred halls of the european court of justice its future role is a major obstacle and that breaks the negotiations. the british government wants no more european judges meddling in their legal affairs so mrs may has remained

adamant that her country will not be bound by any future judgements of this court we will take control of our own laws and bring an end to the jurisdiction of the european court of justice in question. leaving the european union will mean that all will also be made in westminster and cardiff and belfast but escaping the jurisdiction of the european court of justice is not as easy as many in the british government believe we have agreed to guarantee for the citizens. but the u.k. will apply e.u. concept in a manner. which you low but we fail to agree that european court of justice played an indispensable role in assuring the traditional systems. so the e.u. wants the european court of justice and its judges to maintain jurisdiction after breakfast especially when it comes to the rights of e.u. citizens living in the u.k.

legal experts also say britain won't be able to remain close to the trade and customs while at the same time breaking free from all the regulations that govern the single market without the courts will be difficult to maintain a close relationship with because that principle having common rules and above all being interpreted and applied in the same way. to see how you feel. rule. and not only that while the u.k. will likely fail to escape the e.c.g. its reach entirely the country will also lose influence here since the court will no longer contain. a british. one possible solution a system of joint u. u. k. courts to resolve disputes but even then european judges will continue to have a say in u.k. affairs. case definitely not closed. as

a date of the news live from berlin still to come the hunt for the killers of journalists. police arrest ten suspects in this politically charged case. and the euro group has a new president writes an election that took place today phil and the new name is. he will take over jerome deisel bloom's role as the head of the group of eurozone finance ministers he's up to the challenge for sure as he successfully led his home country portugal through the worst of the eurozone crisis but most of euro zone countries are doing quite well these days. when scenes like these erupt in a euro zone country the president of the year agree has something to worry about greece's painful economic crisis but the financial body her to act deciding how much debt relief to give when to give it and the reforms demanded in return that's been the job of this man for the past five years. the outgoing president of the

euro group the top a huge job and him the nickname mr euro euro group finance ministers have been meeting behind closed doors since one thousand nine hundred ninety eight the euro group itself is considered one of the most powerful financial bodies in the world their meetings are attended by the president of the european central bank and the european commission for economic and monetary affairs nineteen countries use the single currency meaning one thousand finance ministers are in the group and today the voted on who will take the helm of the single currency bloc come january giving the job to portugal's mario santina he inherits a more stable euro zone than the one mr dies or to chair. we asked our brussels correspondent max wolf one what's on top of the new boss agenda now that the euro crisis is over. well first of all especially the social democrats in the socialists in the european union would like him to apply what do you applied in

portugal as finance minister there the whole of europe i just i just mentioned that that's important that could start for example with greece we just saw the pictures that we have no longer but the bailout program for greece is running out next year and then they will have to find a solution how to go on and then you might even see a deficit cut something that the international monetary fund want one so this is gusher and will come back he might be the right person to actually find a compromise there and then on top of that we're talking about the reform of the whole euro zone so that's very and vicious something that the french president among whom i call wants to have happening next year even possibly within our own european monetary fund so it looks like he won't be bored in his first two and a half years that was our correspondent in brussels max when we stay in the subject of european finances because apple has to pay the irish government thirteen billion euros in unpaid taxes the european commission had ruled last year that the i phone maker must reimburse the irish state for the money ireland initially didn't want to

break its agreement with apple by taking the taxes but the e.u. said that tax benefits received by the tech company were illegal under the rules because they would allow apple to pay substantially less tax than other businesses brussels has referred ireland to the european court of justice in october for failing to collect the taxes. and speaking off technology if you find yourself waiting and waiting to finally be named employee of the month well maybe you should find out if there's a robot in your company earning the title robots are becoming increasingly popular in pretty much every industry and all around the world but some countries are ahead of the game let's take a look at some of those numbers south korea is number one with over fifty robots per one thousand human workers and their factories here in germany were not far behind with thirty the united states is a distant third with seventeen and comes france with twelfth and britain last with just seven in some of the selected countries of the study no industrial robots were

initially used for heavy lifting or jobs like spray painting which can be dangerous for humans but a new generation of robots is now taking over regular tasks were can work closely with us than their grandparents. fragile products like these require a delicate touch his company makes a laboratory glassware the newest employee goes by the name of it you five he doesn't take holidays and is never sick and costs as much as a human employee earns in a year company boss will but hoffman says he invested in a robot because he couldn't find the right people to perform the repetitive tasks. or blame the problem was i had assistants and temporary workers who didn't have a real connection to the company so we had an issue with their work ethic and the quality of their work. or. qualitative all right.

robots on the other hand can work nonstop when it comes to mass production and this generation of machines can also collaborate with humans employees are often close at hand. in the past skilled workers ended up having to perform menial tasks to make sure all those were completed on time now robots can do these jobs but actually producing a laboratory glassware requires a lot of experience and a human touch. but now the new one that i don't think that our jobs can be replaced by robots because we have to respond to problems when they arise robots wouldn't be able to do that. and with money they are younger looking for. the concept for these metal coworkers or co bots comes from denmark they're intended to be simple and easy to use the supplier universal robots began life as a startup over the last two years it has seen its turnover double to one hundred

thirty million euros the company's founder is convinced that using robots increases overall productivity and that this will help keep payroll costs down in the industrial world. when we start automating more we see that the percentage of machine time compared to the percentage of manual labor increases which means we can start reshowing many thanks thing we're evening out the playing field we're making it cost the same to manufacture all over the world and in the end it benefits the countries with their high salary level. and this is a glass tech company the third the robot will soon be operational it's currently being programmed after one and a half years this one to help or has already paid for itself and the company's boss already has ideas for where he could use another one. and prepare for that now that's all from business desk i'll be back with more business use later on filled accounts back to you for world news coverage thank you so much to multiply where

police have arrested ten people in connection with a car bomb that killed a journalist on the island in october to have any kind of watergate it's it was one of the country's leading investigative journalists reports focused heavily on corruption the suspects are described as of multis nationals most of whom have criminal records investigators now have forty eight hours to question them and decide whether to seek charges and the thicko want to kill its family has expressed concerns that death will be explained away as a criminal matter and this any connections with her revelations about the island's political elite we swept under the carpet so do they have a point well d.w. spoke with baltar's justice minister when. understand the feeling that they are passing to you know having your mother blown up in pieces and then you were asked about how do you feel would lead you to that conclusion so i understand their

feelings however rest assured that we have left no stone unturned to solve this in years murder made in mind that in less than fifty days since the homicide took place we are in a position now to order beds arrest have been made and the police are doing their utmost to make use of the forty eight hours every level to them and then move forward to an adventure prosecution the people behind that killing are criminals people and told the laws in their hands and we have left no stone unturned in order to solve this case ok because f. is a journalist at the times of malta based in the capital for that welcome to day w what more is known of these suspects and their likely motives sources close to the government have said that the two main suspects out of the don't suspect so george their judgment only for the georgian authorities man brothers actually who have

a long criminal history all of a sudden the investigation is her focus from the circle of ten people the ten suspects potential suspects which were mentioned this morning know the focus to two people who know the motive is not is not yet been established but investigators are still ongoing and we expect at least by the looks of it that these two guys will be induced the man could be arraigned if not tomorrow by the latest on wednesday ok so that looks like progress when results as justice minister spoke today w. they seem to have already decided that. they're going to say was killed by criminals she was investigating the family has its doubts and where are you on that . well the family up to forty eight hours ago they were complaining they were actually completely in the dark at all because of investigations to be honest this development to this development took many people by surprise because the general impression of there was that the police and the authorities had made little

generals in this investigation. to be to be honest. things it was quite an extraordinary day today even the fact that the prime minister himself decided to claim no they were initially eight suspects and then they went up to ten suspects to do it on the other hand the police commissioner is nowhere to be seen today nor have the conference was there are there any of them and think they had some promotions in temporal office when the police force but the commissioner refused to face the press in fact the home of first minister came to face the press so it is being treated very highly the prime minister himself actually speaking of all these investigations. you're watching day w. news live from boston still to come germany edges closer to a stable governments the social democrat leadership site they are ready for coalition talks if the members give the go ahead. this u.s.

president ali abdullah saleh in a rocket attack following the breakdown of an alliance between him and the who fist to fight saudi backed forces in the country's civil war. on the european union says it has not reached an agreement with britain on its defaults from brussels that's despite progress on the issue of the border between island in the u.k. prime minister theresa may had hoped to. unlock talks on a future trade deal with your. turkish deputy deputy prime minister becky airballs dagg has warned u.s. president donald trump against formally recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital he said such a move would trigger a major catastrophe echoing warnings from leaders in the arab world mr trump has in the past promised to make the controversial declaration to move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem previous u.s. presidents have refused to move the embassy for fear of antagonizing palestinians who claim east jerusalem as their capital as the trump is expected to announce his decision this week the son in law and senior advisor janet krishna and says the

president is still making up his mind. that the president's going to make his decision. and when he hasn't made his decision he's still looking at a lot of different facts and then when he makes his decision on the hill be the one to want to tell you now may so i hope he'll make sure he does that at the right time dalia sheindlin is a pollster and political scientist she's also a policy fellow with the israeli institute for regional foreign policies welcome to d.w. how palestinians and israelis are reacting to this possibility. well pretty much as you would expect them to i mean on the israeli side there is sort of this ongoing sense that the new administration the trump administration is good for israel certainly coming from the government they say this every chance they get and you know there's sort of speculation in the air that trump is going to do something in what is considered to be very pro israel by by making this declaration i wouldn't

say that it's that it's an obsession because nobody knows what trump going to do so people have learned to hedge their expectations but i think there's also concern because everybody knows that it would certainly be an explosive move on the palestinian side you know we had reports about the palestinian delegation to washington just talking to everybody possible and warning them about what a dangerous move this is i think that on the palestinian side the main thing is that this will prove to them as if they needed proof they already believe very much that america is not a neutral broker we know this from public opinion surveys that america has been a pro israel broker so i think this certainly would reinforce that attitude on the palestinian side it will also be internally a major blow to abu mazin who is you know the thousand leader who is increasingly unpopular home partly because he hasn't been able to improve life on the ground and this will look like a major failure on the international scene for him so you know both sides they're exactly going the opposite directions as what you would expect this was

a campaign promise just props speculate for us if he went through with this how does that play out across the middle east. i mean i think that we cannot underestimate the significance of this move in the greater middle east this is certainly not an issue only of israel and trump it's certainly not an issue only of the israeli palestinian conflict jerusalem is symbolic far beyond the israeli palestinian conflict of course it's got great importance in the arab muslim world. and it's also a matter i think of how the greater middle east looks at america's treatment of this region so i think that it will you know it could very likely become symbolic in terms of how you know the rest of the middle east perceives america's role here you know sort of emphasizing all of the negative roles is what i'm trying to say i would be very concerned about certainly demonstrations at the very least probably

rioting and possibly violence i don't think we would see the end of it which is why some people speculate that even on the israeli side while everybody would you know that certainly in the government they would love to hear trump say something very supportive of jerusalem as israel's capital you know there's a lot of speculation that even a ten yahoo maybe doesn't really want him to actually move the embassy to spare that the symbolic reverberations that could very easily turn into physical reverberations i think the speculation is also that it would really very much shatter the peace process i mean it's quite it's contradictory for trump's own stated preference for what he wants to do he has claimed that he wants to reach the ultimate deal reached a two state negotiation you know a negotiated two state solution it's very hard to see how anything like a peace process survives this kind of move because it will essentially it's such an antagonistic move to the israeli side so i know i've gone back and forth between the ramifications for the israeli palestinian peace process and the group reverberations around the greater middle east but i don't think we can underestimate the impact on both of those levels absolutely and we thank you for

sure for sharing your insights with us then from. the. institute in tel aviv think you. again to turkey where more than three million syrians are officially registered as refugees having fled the conflict in their home country the un children's ages that unicef says about one point two million of them are children unfortunately many of them are forced to grow up fast as this next report shows. the rattling noise of sawing machines has become the soundtrack of our us is childhood she works twelve hours a day monday to friday in this clothing workshop in istanbul the women here are 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 that is 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 others 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 and many other children are sent 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. at us has finished work for today she takes me home with her to meet her family. she has two little sisters her mother is 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 and here is that us we have to send her to work we don't have any other choice every morning she cries and tells me i want to go to school 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. in syria i was the only one working. and it was enough to support my family. even my parents. but here it's different. the kids expenses i just can't do it all on my own. i meet. one of the stumbles district may as he admits that 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 banks 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. is the talk. that's why others are trying to help in our houses neighborhood syrian teachers are giving classes even on weekends for children who otherwise wouldn't be able to attend school turkish arabic a math the basics at least. for iris these are precious moments when the sewing machine stop rattling and she can be a child again if only for

a few hours. but as well as economy is continuing to make headlines have. an intriguing move from the country's government that's right phil we are used to intriguing news from venezuela but i think they now took it to the next level president nicolas maduro introduced the petro on sunday the country's very own crypto currency now it's supposed to counter the disastrous performance of the real currency. which has plummeted by more than ninety five percent against the dollar in the black market over the past year but few believe this will make any difference as corruption political turmoil and mismanaged finances are bringing venezuela's economy to its knees. in the fight against his country's economic crisis president maduro is running out of options the state is on the verge of bankruptcy. unlike bitcoin the petro will be backed by a physical asset only oil venezuela's reserves are the largest in the world but the

needs to squeeze more money out of them has led to the surprising idea. but says the cryptocurrency will help the nation. but i want to advance monetary sovereignty to make financial transactions for you to overcome the financial block ain't been fairly ok if you don't feel. the so-called financial blockade is comprised of u.s. sanctions and restrictions against venezuela they were imposed after majoris increasingly brutal treatment towards his own people the value of the paper currency the bolivar has plummeted venezuelans are suffering under hyper inflation of one thousand four hundred percent the economy of the once prosperous country has taken a nosedive imported food and medicine is running out mature as crypto currency is now a sign the country is to some extent moving away from banks and regulation in

a desperate attempt to stay afloat. to get a little bit deeper into the subject we spoke to tom long a specialist in latin american affairs from warrick university and asked him what the impact the petro will have on going to swell as economy. well i think its effects are probably going to be pretty limited right now we don't have a lot of details about exactly how the venezuelan government imagined this currency other than the idea that it would be backed with venezuela's natural resources that sounds like it's something novel and certainly compared to bit korea and it's novel but in a sense venezuela's currency is always backed by its natural resources and a lot of its debt is explicitly backed by resources so to a large extent those resources are already committed elsewhere i suspect there's a hope that this would help venezuela get around some of the u.s. sanctions of course dealing in u.s.

dollars means that is subject to restrictions that are imposed on global banks particularly u.s. banks and that does limit venezuela's freedom of maneuver but this would require those banks and other investors to really take a leap of faith that venice was going to stand behind this crypto currency in a way that it has not stood behind the solidity of its of its normal currency. for that. long on the new cryptocurrency minutes while i were switching subjects now and it's the christmas season in many parts of the world and the time of the year when many traditions come to life here in germany one of them is going to the famous christmas markets and having a wine or two with your friends but it wouldn't be germany if there wasn't strict quality controls of the warm beverage it's a tough job but someone has to do it. here in the center of cologne no clothes 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 my own has come here to check their up to scratch. the boiling point of alcohol is seventy eight degrees so mulled wine shouldn't be hotter than last in terms of the alcohol but evaporation and that will reduce the quality. when it comes to drinks there's no competing with mulled wine in the four weeks before christmas a store like this one can expect to bring in a rant one hundred sixty thousand euros. with some to size and markets across the country it's no wonder germans consume a total of fifty million liters of mulled wine a year. so what makes for the perfect you've tied experience like. colder weather maybe a bit more mulled wine and another few visits the christmas market it's only

a matter of time before you get into the spirit. getting into the christmas spirit is big business and at this market at least visitors can be sure their mulled wine has enough of the other kind of spirit to. cheer so that that's all for business spectator felt very thank you so much you're watching t.w. news still to come and his latest work the german master of mega. got to go see thanks visitors deep into the amazon jungle of in merrill from a culture that's called tell us more in just a moment. first though germany is edging closer to a stable government that's after social democrat leaders said that they were willing to enter exploratory talks without going to conservatives there is one condition the party's rank and file will have to give the move their blessing first . the social democrats h.q. on monday party leaders approved preliminary coalition talks with macas conservatives if members give the go ahead out of congress this week. if party

members approve i will arrange an appointment for talks with miss america and must as a whole. we'll discuss our proposal and then see if it makes sense to continue the talks. the party congress will also sign off on the s.p.d. demands. i think we're all clear that we need to put forward a key points in the negotiations so we don't end up with a lazy compromise. of the s.p.d. as parliamentary party group also deliberated on the plans and the blunders talk on monday they want to go into the talks with an open mind. it's important for all of us that we discussed different options with the conservatives many party members would prefer a minority government so we'll need to figure out exactly what options are

available to us. and if coalition talks lead to an agreement grassroot members of the s.p.d. will have the final say on whether to proceed and if so how i just bought out in the bundesliga go. back on sunday night have been on a roll over recent weeks the business knew they still needed to put more space between them between themselves and the relegation. data hacking abroad involves burke knowing victory ivory's old club would elevate gladbach to second the false book had other ideas mario gomez found space in the box. in the smiley calmly slotted home of. the hosts one nil up after just four minutes. and vosburgh was soon two goals to the good. of daniel to darby and molly combining brilliantly for the second.

into errors paid out it dissipates with a great chance to get on the scoreboard. frankfurt coach nico coverts was not pleased berlin were clearly the better side matthew lackey we have his way through the defense and davies made it one nil. after a long stretch out injured the german is turning into ever more of a threat in front of goal. then heritage concentrated on defending their lead in frankfurt made them pay marius bolt somehow left uncontested and he simply fired the ball in. at half time of. the match got scrappier after the restart but there was one standout moment kevin prince boateng making it to one against his hometown club and that's how it ended frank rich remain the strongest team in the league on the road well here to

continue their tumble down the table. now this is the latest picture that's a picture in the round from the berlin based artist yeah they've got a c.c. of the imus and rainforest. meat as it's one of us just over one hundred metres it's a conference and it took months to assemble entire picture it's made from three thousand five hundred square metres of material tell us more about this art form and the artist is robyn that from the desk welcome robin these pictures in the round that become very popular but then it's not new is it you know these kind of cold was sort of invented in the nineteenth century and here in europe into. the high

society and the were a couple actually i believe shown in america but it was mainly here in europe and the office then would choose their vista if you lock the door sketch of this drawer sketch that then put them all together in the old fashioned way and and do all the painting and then then between the painting and the platform where you are in the middle that there would be something i saw one for instance in the hay which was of a scene of a beach between the scene and me that sort of put a load of sand in a couple of decked it has to make a sort of flow into the painting so that was old kind of on the what about now we're guessing that the modern technology means we could almost be that yeah obviously c c i mean we've got this from behind us of the berlin wall was more of that later he uses all the digital technology available to him of putting it all together what is interesting at the final bit when he's got it all up he does

actually go round with the brush and fill in the crash as it were sort of put the find out just a touch up yeah anyway let's find out more about this artist and how he does it with his team and in fact we're going to join him in his research in the real amazon rain forest. yet again as easy wants to absorb as many details as possible for his amazon panorama he's traveled to the rainforest four times he also trolls the first template use of complexity it is or should i knew i would never ever be able to represent the complexity and beauty of this place in a picture of this nature will always be better but perhaps i'll be able to capture some aspect that will get people who aren't there an idea of that beauty foreshadowing from the social and i think if more than thirty thousand five has it taken to bring women closer to the original symbiosis of it and modern technology.
