this is news live from berlin international backlash grows against president trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel in these moments of great frank sharry you see i want to make it clear. that he's no alternatives to the. members of the un security council of requested an emergency meeting

palestinians have taken to the streets israel has welcomed the move will be live in jerusalem and washington also coming up a senior volkswagen executive gets seven years in a u.s. prison for his role in the diesel emissions cheating scandal. russia's vladimir putin says he will run for a fourth presidential term next year if he wins which he is likely to be in power until twenty twenty four. also coming up in greece whirls out the red carpet for rest up tie up ever the one he is the first turkish head of state to visit greece in sixty five years could the visit improve the frosty relations between the two neighbors. and the slow road to recovery we meet the people trying to rebuild their homes and communities and domenico more than two months after hurricane maria.

i'm same it's almost comical to have you with us there's widespread condemnation today of president donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel the united nations security council will hold an emergency session on friday u.n. secretary general antonio terra saying the move will only jeopardize prospects for peace trump said his decision marked the beginning of a new approach to the conflict between israel and the palestinians. with the stroke of a pen donald trump turned the middle east on its head. i have determined that it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel the u.s. president throwing decades of diplomatic caution to the wind he dismissed warnings that his decision could light the fuse of one of the world's most explosive powder

kegs this decision is not intended in any way to reflect a departure from our strong commitment to facilitate a lasting peace agreement we want an agreement that is a great deal for the israelis and a great deal for the palestinians in jerusalem many israelis celebrated trumps announcement it's long overdue the flacks of the two allies waving side by side on the old city wall prime minister benjamin netanyahu praising the move as the beginning of a new era this is a historic day. the president's decision is an important step towards peace for there is no peace that doesn't include jerusalem as the capital of the state of this magnitude but far from all israelis share that optimism but it shows a lack of understanding of the sensitivities in this region and i think it's

a dangerous move right now that sentiment echoed by the palestinians top peace negotiator the seasoned diplomat visibly shaken warning that trumps move could play into the hands of islamists i think president tonight this qualified the united states of america. and if it's possible i think tonight he is strengthening the forces of extremists in this region as no one has done before and there is reason to fear the washington's u.-turn could provide fertile ground for radicalisation many palestinians see them with a in a sense of betrayal. i tell donald trump you're crazy crazy. you've opened hell's gate i'm the white house is set to unveil a peace plan sometime next year but after trump's latest announcement the question is if those needed to secure peace will listen. well let's get some

analysis on this story from jerusalem we have our correspondent tanya kramer and from washington. phenomena good to have you both tanya let's start with you the palestinians say this move disqualifies the u.s. as a peace broker in the region how significant is that. was this significant because who else would take the lead what you understand his that no one in you will meeting all the factions will be meeting in the coming days to decide what they will be taken here off the decision and we're also expecting today a general strike expecting the school for demonstrations around in jerusalem also in the occupied west bank and gaza for the next coming days so they have to see i mean people are waking up this morning to this decision and i think you've got to digesting what has been said that a lot of people conversely believe that you know truism that they want to see the

capital of their future state has been taken away from them in the sense. in a carson and the us president is saying that nothing here is actually changing it's just the address of the us embassy in jerusalem now but some are saying it amounts to a violation of international law how do you square that. well there is indeed criticism from many experts in international law but also from allies of the united states that is is indeed a breach of international law the representative for foreign affairs of the european union federica mogul renia for instance set that there is a un security council resolution from nine hundred eighty which condemns israel's annex ation of east jerusalem and she said that embassies should not be moved there until the final status of the city has been resolved in negotiations between

israelis and palestinians donald trump on the other hand says that he is simply acknowledging the facts on the ground that jerusalem is the defacto capital of israel also that there is a law from one thousand nine hundred five the jerusalem embassy act saying that the embassy should be moved to jerusalem that law has been postponed the implementation of the law has been postponed by several us governments and donald trump says i'm finally acting on that also at the same time he says he is still committed to the peace process and he will continue to work for it tanya what do you make of that donald trump thank you simply acknowledging the status quo why are palestinians carrying a different message than. why i think what posting in said they were listening to the speech by donald trump i mean what they say is basically that he didn't acknowledge their relationship to the city of to rich enough to the east

part of the city and he was talking a lot about his history jewish history the ancient ties but the jewish nation to the history but he didn't mean to acknowledge that also palestinians may claim on it that they haven't but every nation to this city we're talking here about the palestinians as a whole but especially also about the palestinian residents over three hundred thousand residents in east jerusalem and they also live there and even ask what they think about it so i think this is what is important to palestinians that people can know that they are here and what cousin said it is international consensus that this is an occupied part of the city and it should have been part of final status negotiations and that is what the president would like to have acknowledged as well so of course i'm not so this forward now what happens next when trump sends his foreign policy team including to the middle east to unveil the u.s. peace plan early next year. we don't know that because we

don't know what is in that plan and that was a main point of criticism in the discussion here not so much the effect that donald trump wants to move the embassy in that so once again there is a law has been a law for twenty two years demanding just that there is consensus here that eventually the u.s. embassy should be moved to jerusalem but it's the timing and it's the fact that donald trump got nothing in return for this move nothing to balance the potential negative impact of his decision and also another point of criticism here that he has obviously done this to please his base the conservative pro israel lobby and their allies among the christian evangelists groups within the republican party this all seems to be some move that has been motivated by domestic concerns and not so much by a grand design a grand plan for the region so we don't know what the plan is going to be tanya just briefly is israel bracing for violence in the coming days.

that is kind of expected and we know that the security forces here on high alert but it's probably not the only way c.t.'s into islam in the occupied west bank in gaza also demonstrations possibly in jordan and turkey already seen some late last night so obviously i mean there is the fear that this might escalate. correspondence cramer there in jerusalem and custom phenomena in washington thank you both. now to some other stories making news around the world time magazine has named its person of the year as the silence breakers of the me too movement against sexual assault and harassment their stories and thousands of more flooded social media under the need to hashtag the global outcry has highlighted sexual misconduct by dozens of high profile men in media businesses sports and

entertainment. hot dry winds have been fanning massive wildfires in southern california the blazes that destroyed hundreds of homes so far no threatening thousands more firefighters are battling to get the fires under control and reach the hardest hit areas so they can assess the damage. you're watching d.w. news still to come russia's vladimir putin says he will run for a fourth presidential term next year will he ever leave office we'll go to moscow for analysis. but first a blow for one of germany's best known carmakers christopher have more on that that's right so me and we're talking about a hefty prison sentence seven years behind bars that's the price to pay for lying to consumers over diesel emissions a u.s. court has sentenced fox wagon senior executive all of us made to the maximum possible time in jail but he's quite possibly the only high level figure at the carmaker who will face legal repercussions in united states. schmidt was the head

of u.s. environmental compliance at folks wagon which made him the key focus of investigations over diesel gate now a federal judge has ruled that he violated the clean air act and conspired to defraud the united states handing down the heaviest possible sentence. folks foreign has admitted to installing software devices which trick the lab testing tools making emissions to lower than they are under normal conditions the company has admitted to installing six hundred thousand such devices in u.s. vehicles around eleven million worldwide eight out of the eight managers charged by u.s. prosecutors six are yet to be arrested they fled to germany from where they cannot be extradited. all of the schmidt was not the mastermind behind diesel gate but simply the decision maker authours he's caught up with now he's paying the price while his bosses walk free. all right for some more analysis i have daniel went to

hear from our business desk daniel seven years that seems like quite a hefty sentence right there that is and they want to make an example of him because he is one of only two people who have managed to be actually prosecuted for what they've done over days will get all the rest the managers came back to germany . the thing is it is actually. only a five year sentence because part of that sentence runs concurrently so it isn't as big of an impact as many would have actually hoped the present presence that is could have been as much as twenty years but he managed to get a plea deal to get out of the wire fraud charge now all of the schmidt broke down in court when speaking of the impact on his family of being involved in this case so clearly the emotions there on show demonstrating that this is something that the u.s. will not stand for the judge said that that schmidt saw this as a chance to shine and to climb the corporate ladder and of course executives in the future will be thinking twice before doing this kind of thing and he's going to

jail for it now what about the german investigations why are they so far behind what the u.s. is doing us regulars are doing well it's complicated basically in germany of course the car industry is a massive industry contributing about four hundred million euros in revenue to the economy and that is four hundred billions extremely big and that is absolutely gigantic for germany and of course lawmakers if they were to really push and put pressure on prosecutors to take action then of course public opinion would go with them and more action would be taken also these huge fines are happening in the u.s. like the twenty billion dollars in fines or just the fines not the repairs and so on that had to pay in the us don't really really apply in europe because in europe folks like and says we can just make a software update and it's as simple as that because that's not possible in the u.s. because you know the rules are stricter about emissions so the whole process has

been much slower and they've been in a lot less pressure behind the prosecution process in germany and in the e.u. as a whole now with the money that v.w. has coughed up to settle the case with the software update. is v.w. putting this story behind the company you know what i'm sure they they wish they're putting it behind them but this. thirty billion dollars in fines that they paid out fines of repairs and so on the whole cost of diesel gate is absolutely tiny compared to their sales and their sales are growing they have record sales now and so globally folksong is only getting bigger especially in markets like china and western europe where actually the impact of the diesel gate scandal has been a lot less so you know they're not as badly hurt by it as many people would hope it would be then your winter thank you so much for your analysis. it is a decisive day for chancellor angela merkel's efforts to end germany's political

deadlock and form a new government the social democrats are holding a party conference where they're expected to decide whether to hold talks in forming a government with marcos conservatives they'll also be doing some soul searching on why they did so badly in september's election the party was in a coalition with merkel before that vote but for many social democrats that's part of the problem the social democrats banner may flutter proudly but it party headquarters there is uncertainty why did the s.p.d. do so poorly at the polls for party chief martin schultz it's a question that has yet to be answered. why are we not able to make it clear that these old traditional values of respect solidarity dignity and justice are actually the most modern political offer that can be made at this time. we must ask this question today and certainly tomorrow at a party conference. originally ruled out entering

a rerun of the grand coalition but some in the party have since had a rethink. anything would you need storage stable government and without this doesn't seem to be possible and so we have to in one way or the other to cooperate with the christian democrats at international guests also want the s.p.d. to become part of the government in the interests of europe. we don't have this in government. then we cannot influence the european debate and the signals this is the problem. former longtime party chief sikma feels that the grand coalition was not to blame for the s.p.d. xp or election results it's been said but i firmly believe that the crisis within german social democracy has less to do with the governing alliance with the conservatives here in germany than with the completely altered conditions for social democratic policies everywhere and that's why we think there have been such

difficult election results in those countries where there is no grand coalition. but the s.p.d. youth organisation and use those fully rejects a new edition of the grand coalition. i don't think you can speak of a clear mandate to govern or a clear carry on as before after such a drastic loss at a federal election. many s.p.d. members no longer want their party to be part of a grand coalition they fear that their party permanently aligned to the conservatives will soon be consigned to the scrap heap of history. now russian president vladimir putin says he will run for re-election next year he made that announcement while visiting car factory workers in the city of. opinion polls suggest putin would comfortably win the vote maintain the popularity among russians despite economic hardships and rising tensions with the west put in is

credited with prolonging stability in the country is effectively been in power since two thousand when he first became president. let's listen in though to the moment where president putin announced his decision. by civil rights you're going. to. find a better place at moments when i'm just this sign queue for your support. my will be running as a candidate for the post of president of the russian federation. with moscow correspondent emily short when if women's announcement came as a surprise to anyone in russia. the only thing that people here in russia have actually been discussing in the media and amongst themselves is where and when vladimir putin will announce that he will run it's already been taken as a given that he that he would run and it's interesting the occasion that he chose he was surrounded by workers in one of the provincial cities need not going to not

in the capital he wants to show obviously that he's still close to the common man even after nearly two decades essentially in power and also today he was at another event with young volunteers young volunteers were being honored so he's obviously trying to show that that he is in touch with the younger generation as well and the timing is significant also the announcement comes just a day after the international olympic committee said that russian athletes would be barred from the olympics and that only clean athletes could compete under a neutral flag people here see that as a kind of western conspiracy and that's likely to rally people behind him even more because beyond putin even more. emily sherrilyn reporting there from moscow here watching to get you still to come a very special performance in a berlin subway the band u two surprises riders with a free show to promote their new album. but first christopher is back and

attempts to prevent another financial crisis that's right sumi this next news item concerns your money if there's anything we learn from the two thousand and eight financial crisis is that rescuing banks are never again fall to the taxpayer ever since central bankers and financial supervisors have been haggling over what this regulation should look like today these so-called basel committee will present the results the final component of the basel three regulation and here is the initial consensus central banks would determine how much equity banks would need to buffer risks in twenty ten the experts in basel determined that number to be eight per cent this is where things get complicated though what towns equity and how does it change the percent now not credit is created equal some customers are less likely than others to repay the borrowed capital therefore each loan has

to be reviewed and evaluated which begs the question according to what criteria now to talk more about this issue i welcome to the set your whole he's the president of the european school of management and technology you're good to have you with us this morning now the idea here is to make wrists more comparable the main sticking point in the negotiations has been that u.s. regulators want an internal models in risk assessment whereas european regulators wanted a broader more conservative model who won. in the end you could say it's a compromise compromise between stand up and internal models stand up models make very comparable the wrists at the same time they don't take into account as much the individual risk assessed. and of banks and obviously the concern is always if you indeed allow banks to use into a models that maybe they basically miscalculate and they are rather. on the wrong

side basically on the low side by getting too low of equity requirements and that's a real challenge we that was part of the discussion now what does this mean for european banks most of them have already increased their their capital base and now there's a fear of a lending shortage if they need to stash away more cash this is indeed become sun that is voiced by european banks that they say the current consensus of current compromise may actually lead to too much of equity requirements for them at the same time we have to take into account that a more equity in principle is good it's rather the question of how much time would it actually take to get there because the equity buffers are the most important medicine you could say the most important buffer to protect taxpayers from additional damages now us president donald trump wants to scale back regulation that's what the in the financial sector what impact will this have mr trump has mentioned this a couple of times the fortunate thing is that so far this has not really taken place or so far the international consensus for example in g twenty has still kept

at the same time and this is not very important also to watch is it really the case that trump the united states would also implement what they've now decided when it for example comes to liquidity standards and other regulation in they are now if we take a look at these standards that will be presented today will they actually be enough will they be a proper tool to prevent another financial crisis after all the i.m.f. warned just this morning that the high dept levels in china are threatening the financial stability of the country the second largest economy in the world absolutely so in principle these steps are very good they mean more capital more liquidity for banks so therefore it's less likely that these banks when they face problems will have again to go to the taxpayer so this is a good pot at the same time all these efforts have. continue and also at the same time it has to be carefully evaluated whether the bureaucracy that came with this new regulation may actually be too much affecting smaller banks in particular so maybe there it might be possible to take away some of the bureaucracy and then

talking about china this certainly will be a risk in particular if there's not enough transparency about what really is happening in the economy in china you know the whole president of the european school of management and technology here in berlin thank you for your analysis this morning thank you now as cannabis becomes a legalized drug and many countries some people are hoping to make big bucks out of it and expectations are high the niche market is now worth an estimated eight billion euros and market analysts expected to grow some twenty two billion euros by twenty twenty one. coffee and marijuana those are the ingredients in this snack it's a picture of her with a different kind of punch in the past intoxicating space cakes are something enjoyed in secret today you can buy them openly like from this chocolate maker. but some customers are still getting used to the new normal. cannabis is still one

of those taboos. and you know having that conversation my mom who is not only asian but also very catholic and grew up in a generation where cannabis was considered just as bad as you know any other drug she actually was really open to the idea and she actually eat the product on a regular basis. an elderly catholic lady may learn to accept the idea of hash chocolates but perhaps not some of the other goods on offer here the store owner proudly displays his wares in just a few months he's managed to raise ten million dollars in venture capital a windfall he says that will help as the marijuana market expands worldwide. this fall likely be the only time in my life that i see such a large scale market move from the black market into the legal market consumers are already consuming cannabis there's this incredible moment where all around the

world the cannabis revolution will happen within the next ten years. many in the u.s. want to see marijuana legalized fifty four percent of americans said they supported legalization and the smoking of it in public spaces and they're doing their part to pave the way for the popular recreational drug to become big business. is home to many famous people but there's been a special celebrity sighting on the berlin subway system that is right chris the city subway system actually played host to some very special guests by now and the edge from the right. and you too they took a ride on the u two underground line more than one hundred fans joined the musicians for selfies handshakes and autographs they were treated to a performance on the black. record label organize the event to promote the band's new album.

you're watching d.w. still to come on the program reacting to trump germany's foreign minister said my god joins the international condemnation of the u.s. decision to recognize to roussillon as the capital of israel and the slow road to recovery more than two months after hurricane maria devastated domenico we meet the people trying to rebuild. that's coming up in the next thirty minutes. something that respects the balance of nature. and. what makes its exist that we still owed it to the cycle of need. and can they be as

productive as conventional farming. pioneering methods. today sixty minutes. how to cover more than just one reality. where i come from we have a transatlantic way of looking at things that's because my father is from germany and my mother is from the united states of america and so i realized fairly early that it makes sense to explain different realities. and now here at the heart of the european union in brussels we have twenty eight different i mean allergies and so i think people are really looking for any journalist they can trust for them to make sense of. biden's myself and i work at.

your home. because of persecution and society starting from scratch in an unfamiliar. house that's a post-war. five lives people who found a new home for land. with their stories books and music. built bridges to the past. the future. starting december seventeenth w. . what i'm back here watching d.w. news our top story the united nations security council to hold an emergency session as an international condemnation grows of president trumps recognition of jerusalem the capital of israel palestinians have taken to the streets israel has welcomed them and. where does president move leave europe germany has joined the chorus of

condemnation of the u.s. decision to recognize your islam as israel's capital let's bring in our political correspondent thomas sparrow for more on the story hi thomas good morning to you what has the german government been saying. it's been reacting with concern sumi chancellor kohl has said that she does not support the decision that the situation in jerusalem the status of jerusalem can only be decided in the framework of us to two state solution the german foreign minister gabriele went even further stressing that this could spark new tensions instead of helping to deescalate situation in the in the region let's listen to what gabriele had to say on this situation let's go over to see focus this i believe that this decision really carries the risk that an already difficult situation in the middle east the conflict between israel and

the palestinians could escalate even further. for good reasons we haven't in the past had any other country in the world say they accept jerusalem as the capital so that. this represents one hundred eighty degree turn in american policy and that worries us. we hope that those concerns will prove unwarranted but this about face is a big problem these goals. as well as chancellor merkel and zygmunt gabriele also members of different parliamentary groups in the german born decide to expressing their concern not only about the role that the u.s. could have in possible solutions in the region but also obviously about the region itself and what the tensions how the tensions would escalate there so germany very clearly disagreeing with this policy thomas how much does this strain a transatlantic ties. it strains them a lot and in fact the man gabriele previously had mentioned that europe and the

u.s. are not aligned completely now and that dark means that europe has to be more self-confident and that europe has to express its own views obviously still keep in mind that the us is an important ally but where they differ and when they differ make sure they express that clearly did have these political correspondent thomas sparrow thank you thomas now turkish president reza typer to one begins a two day official visit to greece today the first by a turkish head of state for sixty five years it may be neighbors and partners in nato but the relationship between the two countries has been rocky for decades occasionally even going to the brink of war they try to normalize relations in recent years but there are still thorny issues to resolve the greek turkish relations have been tense if not adversarial for decades the two countries have disagreements over three major issues the island of cyprus control of parts of the

aegean sea around the two countries and recently the migration crisis. cyprus was granted independence from the british in one nine hundred sixty years of violence between the island's greek and turkish communities followed when greek nationalists tried to unite cyprus with mainland greece in one thousand nine hundred seventy four turkey invaded and captured land in the north. today the two halves of the island a still separated turkish northern cyprus is recognized only by turkey the republic of cyprus and the island south is an e.u. member state protected un buffer zone keeps them apart greece and turkey are also at loggerheads over the aegean sea located between the two countries. they've been contesting sovereignty and other rights in the area since

the one nine hundred seventy s. tensions have run so high since then that the dispute has twice almost led to the outbreak of military hostilities. the migration crisis has further strain ties between the two countries greece and turkey have become the landing point for many migrants hoping to reach europe from africa and the middle east the deal between turkey and the e.u. to return refugees that arrive from the greek coast has helped ease tensions but a long list of grievances remain. so the first visit by a turkish head of state in greece in sixty five years what can we expect let's bring in correspondent. then that we have dorian jones in istanbul welcome to you both and the let's start with you how will anyone be received there in greece. well there's a great deal of fear and trepidation over this trip. for starters it's

a huge security operation here the entire capital is being locked down for the sake of shielding the crime of the turkish president and this after there were arrests of turkish six tree mystere just a couple of weeks ago and there are fears that they may have been planning some kind of hit spectacular hit against a turkish president at the same time though the greeks want this visit but they're but there they fear that the president is not bringing any kind of major compromise to the table that would help ease unsettle and build closer bridges between the two countries in fact just coming in he hasn't set foot here yet and there's a great deal of controversy over an interview he gave yesterday night which is basically saying and calling on greece to revive and to revise a crucial agreement between the two countries that set its modern day borders which

effectively means that turkey is contesting yet again greece ownership of some of the greek islands and that's going to bring a lot of problems here so controversy already ahead of the visit during what is the turkish public expecting from this. well the government is looking for greater economic cooperation with greece it sees this country is an important trading partner beyond that there is a key gas pipeline that's been built from azerbaijan that will pass through turkey and greece and into european markets and it's very much part of the policy of turkey looking to individual european countries to build closer ties even those relations the european union as a whole is and i think going forward they will look to put aside these issues the issues of a cyprus sea and look too great a corporation in the mess which will be it in both our interest in particular overworking over the sea and tourism both sides are looking to develop that and i think that that will be also

a factor in then trying to resolve ongoing differences over this migration issue very much the message from the president is we have differences but it's in our interest to work together so they have common ground during and the you know both countries are nato members can you explain how it's even possible that they've been at loggerheads for such a long time. well they is they should they have a lot of issues over airspace and territorial right in the aegean and they have been at loggerheads for for years and they in fact even came to the brink of war over a rocky i let that was just merely content merely own. where just goats rabbit and sheep live no no inhabitants no people live there but that's to show how fragile and how fraught these relations are and how easily these these tensions can be revived and we're seeing a lot of airspace violations these will be raised in their talks today between.

prime minister and the greek prime minister we're not expecting any kind of major breakthrough in these longstanding disputes but just kind of common position to say that we can move forward and during you know a turkish military officers are seeking asylum in greece after the failed coup last year turkey is demanding their extradition will this be a big sticking point will certainly be an issue that the president heard on will be bringing up and he believes that they does have a receptive ear here both countries do have a very traumatic history over both countries except have experience very brutal military dictatorships and that will be the message to be saying that we need to cooperate against these people that are seeking to overthrow countries by illegal means but there is this ongoing problem that the greek calls don't believe that these defendants woodruff receive a fair trial

a possible gesture from offenses that a number of militants the turkish militants have been arrested in athens ahead of the visit by the president that will be seen as a positive sign but it is an issue but it's not going to be something that will lead to a major breakdown in relations. for us in athens and dorian jones in istanbul thank you to both. thank you now more than a year after his arrest the trial of turkey's a pro kurdish opposition party leader begins in on court today so how teen damer tosh is accused of connections to the outlawed kurdistan workers' party the p.k. k. until his arrest the charismatic leader was widely seen as the strongest political opponent of president ever to one the h.e.p.a. denies that faces up to one hundred forty two years in prison if he is convicted. for more on the story we have air con air to one with us here in studio he's the executive committee member of the pro kurdish people's american democratic party b

a h d p here in berlin mr atwan thank you for joining us of the turkish government says that the h.e.p.a. has ties to the outlawed p k k what are the ties between these two is to appease a democratic party in turkey it's the biggest group in the top bottom and it is no one size fits this sort of claims it was asians and the same as in a recession also other m.p.'s of d.p. are only being. accused of because of their speeches they made because they were supporting the democratic opposition interview so we reject all kind of tying ties between h.t.t.p. and terror so your pro kurdish party has never supported or aided the p.k. k. obvious the notes i mean to be was defending the peace process we were all this saying from the very beginning that two parts of the question turkish part and bt occasionally come to think of station table and difficult about the issue in order to bring democratic and peaceful solutions the peak is deemed

a terrorist group by the government and by other governments as well you have some the past of what we're seeing in turkey right now it's a lack of democracy that people who are depending on peace and democracy they are being persecuted in turkey including us allowed to touch will talk about them in a moment but more than a year ago there was a coup attempt in turkey there have been various attacks on at the hands of the p.k. . isn't it was right to try to reestablish the rule of law obvious they had the right to do that but what we saw after the face military coup was a complete first of all kind of democratic forces in turkey and i have to say it's not only in the target was also a source of democratic opposition including democratic suicide or going to say sions including trade unions all sorts of positional joining the so we see a purge of democracy and the restructuring of the state was also including restructure restructuring of the judicature system so he'd be an outlaw himself was

ordering the court cases against say that in the imitation feeling sick and against the. members in the parliament so we can that cold turkey democracy comes in a more organized or because i guess ok well let's talk about saleh. he is being accused of belonging to a terror group he's facing a hundred and forty two years in prison for terrorist propaganda he was detained a year ago why has it taken so long for his trial to get started over this would be answered by the court and by took your thirty's but he's having the first hearing in the court after three hundred ninety nine days this is always the. this is just showing that he was put into prison to isolate himself from. his party from his voters they must have she's a representative of six million people so how this can be imagined to put an m.p. of a party to prison and wait for more than one year to have the feeling of the court

and the court itself is being done in a very small room with the people and today said that and then with us from not even be brought to the court so his basic right to defend himself is being well is so you're saying this is not a fair trial but the party's co-leader see again doc is also in. prosecutors want to put him behind bars for eighty three years with the two leaders of the party of facing these charges where does this leave the h.p. . it should be if you look to do that in polls he still has around ten percent so there is a fence in the democracy in turkey but democratic opposition and democratic resistance is also going on and he's part of it but it's not only should he be there also other democratic forces and i want to just underline that if you go and can maintain its power only because it's international support on these democratic

attitudes so i think europe and germany should support the democratic opposition but not the oppressive governments where the clear message there from her to one is an executive committee member of the procrit ish people the matter democratic party b.h.t. here in berlin mr atwan thank you for joining us in our studio thank you let's move on now to the caribbean a region that is no stranger to fierce storms but when hurricane maria hit the small island of domenico september it was unlike anything its residents had seen before almost every building on domenico was damaged or reduced to rubble people were left without power and with little water when many residents see their country as a victim of climate change that is a cruel reality for an island that embraced eco tourism years ago months after hurricane maria people are still living in shelters and struggling to find work and help from abroad is slow to come.

david thirty nine years ago was a story i recall was about an hour in the water. but maria was everything i remember looking up in the sky the ground was dark and up there was a growing. and i suspect is this energy pure energy just pure raw energy that. was covered. and there were fruits and vegetables too but now it's age seventy four reginald alley has to start all over again. twenty twenty twenty two years now we've been doing organic lamanna yes we've moved away from in late september hurricane maria devastated large parts of the caribbean island after many. ellie and his wife can't even access large parts of their property then new beginning starts with delicate lettuce seedlings.

ready in two days. probably to show thing and you know this kind of thing with i think because of me here video countries that's why we saw for so. you know where there is a permit. to happen again. reginald also had to buy new hands yesterday i supplied him with just two eggs. no nuts or. zero nothing. i love. that the farmer has no one to sell to anyway his customers are all in the same situation. lewis hill opened his hotel just one year ago and it features small wooden is on stilts all with a view to the sea. i remember when i built it how beautiful it was.

it's just so sad to see it's all smashed up. lewis's motto was tourism working in harmony with nature but it was nature that destroyed that dream a hurricane that within twenty four hours went from being a tropical storm to a site clone of the strongest category and because of climate change more frequent and intense storms are expected. but we're going to have to live here. is going to roll over and. so we have to learn how to live better. with storms and hurricanes and nature. hurricane maria didn't just destroy a years worth of dreams for decades the island had been working toward sustainability and a tourism based economy namely eco tourism that's why it's known as the nature island it was an ironic twist of fate that the hurricane hit the island so badly

and not for the first time according to the united nations ninety five percent of the island has been destroyed there is still water and power shortages but locals are ready to roll up their sleeves. during our travels we meet a german tour guide who now has to go to the river for all her water. daily chores that usually would be done in a few minutes like turning on the tap and rinsing a coffee cup now you have to go to the river and do it there it all takes forever now my days are full. nearly three months after the hurricane picked her child can't forget that terrifying night. your voice and i did the same the noises were the worst because with every piece of rock that came tumbling down there was a landslide it sounded like a bomb going off in the valley and we just didn't know what exactly had happened. is peter lives here and she used to show tourists around the island but at the

moment working is out of the question we give her a ride down the road so she can charge her mobile phone what matters these days a simple things like being reachable. none of the talk guides here have work at the moment but also goes for billy olive he's had a tragic twelve months earlier in the year his wife died now the twenty seven year old is struggling to take care of his two small children. you know. they've got it it's. income is not. should. he describes his tour boat as a floating classroom he takes customers whale watching and teaches them about the environment really loves his home and he loves the sea if christopher columbus was . to the caribbean normally called be the only island that moves to recognize

regardless of the destruction caused by the hurricane believe believes in the future. i do. yeah i don't know as a team of people on the island only because we have very strong people. rising. from the islands residents this means starting again from scratch coping with climate change has become a matter of survival for them. journey through the countryside has taught us one important thing hurricane maria destroyed a lot but it didn't destroy the people's faith in themselves or their determination to start over. in football the champions league group stage wrapped up on wednesday five time winners liverpool sealed their place in the last sixteen with a thrashing of spartak moscow shocked our donetsk also went through with

a two one win over manchester city would already qualified but the news wasn't so good for a german side are the lives of their champions league debut ended in a two one defeat to group winners better tash they have to settle for a place in the europa league leipsic will be joined in that competition by dortmund but only just that they lost three two to real madrid cristiana were not scored for real to equal lionel messi is group stage scoring record. and we have jonathan crane from database sports with us here in studio hi jonathan leipzig missing out on the champions league and how disappointed will they be i think they'll be disappointed to some extent because last time they thrashed monaco for one in france a great result for them gave inhofe a chance but unfortunately they fall short of that special had enough chances on the nights when the game but ultimately actually the result wouldn't have counted for anything because porto. in their match i think they would have been even more disappointed had they won in the night and still not managed to go through but they showed they can compete at this level the debut season in the champions they don't

all focus on the europa league they might fancy their chances in that competition as well just a great way to. decide to go to the last sixteen months i don't think anyone really would have picked them as group win this fourth all right well by dortmund they lost again any positives there for that club no not really they finished the lowest amount of points ever in the champions league i suppose they can console themselves with the fact that they weren't thrashed because they were two no down off the trail of minutes and you know that the rest of confidence of the moment really dropped and they could have capitulated but they didn't they came back and rick about me young scored twice he's got a very good record against ram injuries and they could have equalized right at the end is no shinji kagawa had a good chance but. it's a problem because they have now have gone eleven games without a win in the league and the champions league i think it looks like he will be given enough time he will survive and so the january transfer window but he needs things to change that very very soon. action with us thank you

thank you. and the europa league group stage does continue tonight this year surprise club is mr song and they have already left tonight's opponents how to berlin in their wake in advancing to the knockout stages of this tiny team from central sweden has set itself apart not only with its success on the pitch but also for its work in promoting intercultural dialogue. strong they sing together. take literature classes and they even dance together as the sions f.-k. are prepared to do plenty of unusual things to promote integration. but when i came to the club this summer and we started practicing this show where we were supposed to dance it was different. this year that working on swan lake and also rehearsing the musical performance. this week dishcloth has more than fifty percent foreigners on their books mainly from africa and the middle east one

of the secrets of their success is the strong bond within the squad. there from one of his more you get a better understanding for other people in the beginning a lot of things are weird but then you get used to it. as the show and in central sweden is a winter sport stronghold but the multicultural side has won over a lot of new fads. you know today you have it's wonderful indeed they really fit in the boys are great. it's fun and great for integration. the harmony in the team has also led to success on the pitch they've already booked their place in the knockout stage in the europa league. and they finished fifth in the swedish lead. great group and i like it here we are all hype you are all new and yet like family we do everything together. now their big goal is to keep the
