this is news coming to you live from berlin on the simian stage a deal for breach against president trumps recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital protesters clashed with israeli security forces in jerusalem gaza and the west bank trumps contentious decision reversed decades of us on the status of

jerusalem and as anger to palestinians arabs and muslims around the was. also. a breakthrough in briggs the talks between britain and the european union commission president. and prime minister to resign may see the next phase of negotiations can now finally begin. and the score for united states of europe but for us he has to persuade his own social democratic party to stop coalition talks which has conservatives. has an exclusive interview with s.p.d. leader martin shows. us in the next sixty minutes goals and the beautiful game for young women around the world obstacles off the pitch off a hog a spot of playing football.

i don't a very warm welcome to you i'm cheema demonstrations have been held around the world as anger intensifies of a dollar trance decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel in bethlehem police fired tear gas at people who gathered after friday prayers to protest against the u.s. decision israel's government has stepped up security in the country after palestinian groups called for a day of bridge. and for the very latest let's go live to our correspondent she's in jerusalem and journalist father cotton who is standing by for us in a bethlehem father let me start with you tell us what's happening on the streets of bethlehem and is what you're seeing spontaneous or coordinated. well what we've seen today is a few classes very small in numbers in bethlehem in jerusalem in gaza was much bigger but honestly the declaration of

a day of rage where the political factions has not materialized into what was expected most probably by those political factions in hundreds of thousands of palestinians under streets of the west bank gaza in jerusalem in bethel right now the situation is totally quiet would just after friday prayers there has been a bit of a glass on the. level of the separation wall or blocking the entrance of butler and that lasted for puff an hour forty five minutes i think the reaction in the west bank and then you were also mentioning the muslim countries and so forth we have seen very little reaction we have seen a few demonstrations and in malaysia into iran and of guns not in tunisia and in jordan you have to notice that the gulf countries have been totally quiet has been no popular stunt with the palestinians there i think that's the general feeling the palestinians are having right now which is the world doesn't care about what's

happening look at me come back to that a father in just a moment to my a fuss i want to ask you healing jerusalem what is the picture then like. i think saudi everything hit the nail on the head that things that there has been a crowd coming and going at the damascus gate which i'm standing in front of and there's been police going in and out trying to disperse the crowd letting them chat in the trying to suppress them again but all in all it's been a very quiet day and this is probably been the quietest part of where any of these encounters between police and protesters have been happening in a few people injured a few people arrested but there really hasn't been all that much action we fortunately have not seen anyone killed and the police have been rather restrained in how they're dealing with a lot of these protesters so far the you in bethlehem and you said your impression is that the it doesn't care but as a palestinian get out give us a sense of what jerusalem means for the palestinians. druce room is it is for the palestinians a split palestinian and two generations the ones that have lived before israel

build the segregation wall and the ones after for the ones before it means a lot it is not restricted to religion and i think mr trump was very clear in saying israel has engaged itself to allow access to prayer but jerusalem is much more druze than was the commercial center of the west bank jerusalem was the control center today what was in jerusalem are closed down cultural institutions or ones that are having difficulty surviving the thrived in commercial street not very far from where my outside damascus gate salaheddine has become a very small commercial street while in the seventy's and eighty's it was the center of commerce for palestine not only for jews from the area with a generation younger generation that has not been allowed to see jerusalem by the israelis i think that jerusalem has today admitted bill some of that capital that we all want to have access to them but they don't have memories and souvenirs i

mean as a palestinian i grew up in bethlehem but i went to school and drew slim it's linked a lot to. listen to lot to family and social relations that today are no more the same since israel has separated us we have to remember that since the creation of that segregation wall in two thousand and two most palestinians are not allowed to jerusalem and when they are allowed it's based on a militant permit issued by the israeli that for religious feasts or medical treatment so the link the nature of that link has changed dramatically since that fred meyer what happens next other israelis interests in dividing the peace process what are you hearing then if so on what terms. well as far as you know there are no public. public declarations of any sort of peace process or peace negotiations resuming they started under obama and even with mr jarrett questioner in the white

house and his close association with prime minister netanyahu there still have not been any talk of reviving any kind of negotiations and we have to point out now that with president trump making the secularization that jerusalem is israel's capital it sort of confirms a suspicion that a lot of palestinian and arab partners had was that the u.s. was never really an impartial negotiating partner in these negotiations that the u.s. was always sort of low key on israel's side and this now this move this week has confirmed that and father finally to you and briefly i'm visiting international condemnation not just in muslim countries about trump's decision on jerusalem but have palestinians with that lost hope that they could be a peaceful solution to this conflict. i think the palestinians right now are rethinking their strategy and they're rethinking as my was saying that. there was a hold was a restriction in their minds of saying are the americans really the peace brokers

today they're rethinking the strategy and looking more towards europe mr mcclellan was very clear head of the u.s. as was very clear on do some in final status issues will be negotiated between both parties but i do think that a lot of palestinians have lost any hope of a two state solution that would be a peaceful solution to that i was the unions have just started dealing with we can see the asian between fatah and hamas is that it's not yet in place there for the palestinians and i think that explains the low level of participation in popular parties today it's my list that means have lost hope. right a father catherine in bethlehem we have to leave it there thank you very much as well as a maia shrader the deadliest correspondent in jerusalem thank you to both of you. turning out to other news in the european union and britain say they have reached an agreement on bragg said that but allow them to progress to the next round of

talks u.k. prime minister to resign a man european commission president. said they'd agreed on key issues such as the rights for citizens in the u.k. and guarantee no hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland now they'll move on to negotiations about future trade relations both sides are calling it a breakthrough capping off a week of drama purchased prime ministers to resume a arrived early at the european commission her goal saving the talks on her country's exit from the e.u. a short meeting with european commission president followed and then the two emerged to make the big announcement. because of all. we've been able to make sufficient progress to ensure that we can now move into the second phase of the negotiation between the united kingdom and the european union of twenty seven that. may and june to say there's been progress on a major stumbling block how to manage the future border between the u.k.'s northern

ireland and the ease republic of ireland has been a particularly tricky subject many fear a hard border separating the two with border guards could plunge the north back into turmoil by undermining the belfast agreement it ended decades of sectarian violence in the region. in northern ireland we will guarantee there will be no hard border and we will uphold the belfast agreement and in doing so we will continue to pursue the constitutional and economic integrity of the united kingdom. but e.u. chief brecht's negotiator michel barnier says sorting out the storm the issue will need special talks to citizens. in northern ireland's democratic unionist party has stood in the way of an agreement so far the support is vital to may's minority government and even now they're not satisfied with what's been agreed so far. but the talks can still proceed from here that's the e.u. leaders sign off on the deal at

a council summit next week. joining me now is quentin peel he's at up on a mental studious quentin is in alice with the ukip think tank chatham house welcome quentin is this a right to call this agreement that they've come up with in brussels as a breakthrough. it is a breakthrough but still quite a modest one because the really heavy lifting or lies ahead what is going to be the long term relationship between the united kingdom and europe but nonetheless the three questions which they had to settle in advance were all very difficult ones as one the financial question how much to the british contribute for outstanding obligations second the rights of the citizens and british citizens in the e.u. and thirdly this absolutely nightmarish question of trying to maintain no border between northern ireland to the republic when the two sides would be

actually one inside the e.u. and the other outside so very difficult issues and it is a success without a doubt so was the name of this deal today in describing it as a base a breakthrough basically aimed at keeping the talks going and leaving the difficult stuff for latest specially on the island border issue that you mentioned yes i mean the whole deal they've done on the irish border is assuming that it's it will only go to the deal they've done today if they come to reach the big deal on trade and the truth is it's all unknown looked like the achilles heel of the entire brics it exercise the one european member states that is most directly affected by bracks it is island it's affected on trade it's affected on the movement of people which is always been free but above all the peace process in northern ireland is in danger if there is a very abrupt division between the two countries. if it was made in brothels still

can strengthen prime minister there is a maze position do you think the deal that she's achieved now what silence the critics at home. no absolutely not i'm afraid she's in a dreadful position she's trying to rule a party which has been deeply divided on the issue of europe really for the last twenty or thirty years that's the reason we had the referendum because the conservative party was divided and the truth is it's still divided one faction wants to keep britain as close as possible to europe to the european union and the other faction wants to have an abrupt break and they talk about global britain we're going to have a relationship with everybody else and she's still not managed to reconcile these two which is why the talks ahead it still looks very difficult the british government itself has not decided what it's skiing for to the enormous frustration

of the twenty seven other european member states who say tell us what you want and then we can perhaps negotiate now based on the deal agreed on today do you think actually that that it will be now a soft bags that that terrorism has had to make concessions that means that the hot core big city is are not no longer in control. it's very difficult to tell the truth is that she has made concession after concession she's made a big concession on the money question it looks like that britain will pay something like fifty billion euros instead of the twenty billion she first suggested she's made concessions on respecting the judgments of the european court of justice as far as citizens' rights are concerned and she's now made concessions on the irish border which would could amount to the entire united kingdom remaining virtually in a customs union with the european union now what's acceptable on the european side

that's very difficult to judge so i don't think she's got it sorted i don't think she's got her own ranks united at all. right a clinton bill from the u.k. think tank chatham house thank you very much for that analysis. and again her joins me and markets across europe are closely watching that deal in brussels the so-called breakthrough at the so-called breakthrough. there were really cracking open the champagne on the trading floor the news that the divorce agreement had been reached markets are notoriously unsentimental down there showed a carefully positive reaction and the typical let's wait and see attitude really from the markets as it emerged an agreement had been reached the footsie one hundred rose as did the value of the pound but traders in london are well aware that the next phase of breakfast negotiations may prove yet more difficult. by i think the next few months we're going to see far more analysis of what the effects

of the u.k. being outside of europe are going to be for instance one example will be just in time manufacturing how is that going to have to change with custom course set up across the with the number of border posts that require documentation that's going to change the way that manufacturing duty operates in germany to markets responded well to the news some analysts believe britain is now unlikely to give up access to the single market i have trouble exit was the european hard rock said which is very positive because trade between the u.s. and the rest of the e.u. would be interrupted but one thing must be clear this is just a very small success brecht it continues to be terrible for both sides the e.u. and the british people if markets already show gratitude for the smallest of agreements so b.s. that there are still a lot of problems surrounding baxter's sized or even a few. the next round of threats the talks will focus on trade an issue the

markets will be watching very closely indeed. so there is only this small issue of a trade deal left to sort out that should be easy right let's ask clemens fusees the director of thing if for instance you wouldn't joins us now from munich is that divorce deal is done the next step a trade agreement how hard can it be. it's going to be difficult but the good news is there is an interest in continuing trade in not disrupting the very creation chains. production chains established by companies there is an interest on both sides sides in maintaining this trade so one can hope that some agreement will be possible of course the devil is in the detail when it comes to the different sectors there will be ideas coming in from all sides that will be

interests one to maybe reduce trade in southern areas to get rid of competition but generally i think there is a mutual interest in maintaining the trade that's the good news but time is also of the essence how likely is it that a good deal for both parties will be agreed and just what is it twelve months. well negotiating a complete korea trade agreement within twelve months is that i would say well virtually impossible that's why we need a transition phase it looks like we're going to we're going to get one i guess ideally there should be agreement on a number of principles and agreement on a transition phase where the old rules more or less will continue to apply and then a more detailed free trade agreement can be negotiated over a longer time with a partial deal be thinkable. doing a possible deal in trade is difficult because if it is possible in the sense that

only certain sectors are covered there will be disruptions in the other sectors so i would say it is more important to focus on the transition phase now we need arrangements that will work for two years or maybe more i would think it could be but more so than once this is a service companies know that they are not nearing they're not approaching a cliff they can continue to do their trade. we then need a long term solution so i would now focus on this transition phase interesting times still ahead of us was from the evil institute thank you very much for this analysis thank you and these talks work out in the end britain is sure to miss out on this one the e.u. and japan have agreed on the terms for a free trade deal they've been negotiating for for he is currently in japan imposes high tariffs on european imports like foodstuffs european countries also impose tariffs on japanese cars the text of the agreement does not appear to include

section related to the issue on how to settle disputes between states and investors the evil institute for economic research estimates that german g.d.p. alone could see an extra twenty billion euros a year through the deal it still has to be signed and ratified so let's talk about some of the remaining challenges of bread said with our financial correspondent conrad boos no standing by in frankfurt comrade that e.u. deal with japan is something the u.k. will not profit from do you think it's an accident that was announced today and what does it mean for the use economy. i don't think this was on purpose you know. i don't think that the e.u. would be so short sided and small minded to do that to make to create the timing or make the timing of this deal with japan so that the u.k. can get to feel that it's missing out it's just that trade deals like the one with

japan also the other important trade deal between the you part european union and medical sort of the latin american common market which is currently being struck take a lot of time and they're both deals are just about to be ready to be signed of course they are important deals you just mentioned what the in-situ chief estimates how much germany might benefit from the trade agreement with japan. and of course it's something that people here in the financial center in germany germany and frankfurt are welcoming. now that the first step towards bragg's it is taken what do investors expect will negotiate a trade deal now we as difficult as the initial divorce or it's probably going to be more difficult let me give you an example which is a very important for people here the. negotiations about the services sector

financial services the passport rights for the banks in london that were that are to allow the banks in london to continue to do business with the continent it's very likely that the european central bank will continuously want to take a very strong supervision of this. business but as you know the hard core breaks it is hate everything that smells too much like european jurisdiction on british affairs. front but thank you. and that's all for me is the comic looting the bitcoins maturing what's behind it. thank you very much care what they're telling to zimbabwe now just three weeks after the ouster of president robert mugabe a court in the capital harare has released the country's former finance minister on bail after he was detained on charges of fraud and corruption ignatius chong boy is

the first mugabe loyalist to go on trial other members of his inner circle of believed to have fled the country or gone into hiding. with widespread misuse of state resources during thirty seven years of the ganges rule zimbabwe has been brought to its knees we have this exclusive report by our correspondent christine. is about what has been an uncomfortable place to live for much of the last two decades residents of my a township east of harare know this too while access to running water in their homes has been a dream and they've had to rely on boreholes mostly provided by foreign donors. it's been like this for something like ten years now you have to wake up early around four am or for you to get water like you say we still have to wake up early so that you get enough water it's really painful and it's really not

a good buy for us to do so. much of the bobbies infrastructure fell into decline during robert mugabe's rule and the former president's failure to deal with corruption and the economy has had a devastating impact on the country's public health sector it's very difficult to get permission to film inside a hospital here so i secretly recorded this video on my cell phone this is one of the biggest hospitals in the country and it's astonishing to see a facility relying on old equipment it's not the end resourced and its staff overwhelmed medical practitioners often can't administer treatment because of a lack of resources. doug tells me it's hard to have to walk away from a patient who can't afford health care or a medical bill of ten dollars can be too much for some zimbabweans is very much a heartbreaking and. draining groove. look at a person is when they are suffering and sometimes you have to ask them if they do

are. there but it's so. for them to be able to afford the best of the provider and this is a public message for sometimes you knew so many persons from it was that it was a little. zimbabwe was once the bread basket of southern africa boasting some of the best infrastructure in the region today the vast majority of people here have no jobs and the country's infrastructure has been crumbling for years. many of the railway networks are no longer in use some roads haven't been serviced in nias. with the persistent decline in zimbabwe's political and economic situation millions have left the country in search of greener pastures many of them young and skilled further impoverishing and already betted nation. that report by the douglas christine. now i don't know what hugh but pizza holds a special place in the hearts of many not just in italy at long last it's getting

the recognition it deserves the united nations cultural organization unesco has added the original naples style pizza to its world heritage list. the people of naples have long argued that their way of making pizza is the right one and took their case to the united nations. the petition to set the traditional preparation including tossing the dough and baking the pizza over wood in a brick oven was part of italy's culture. embedded pizza is a food that must be. internationally recognized just like the other monuments we have in italy but it should be considered as a historical part of italian cuisine if we're going to go. back you know. at unesco a meeting in south korea delegates unanimously agreed that neapolitan pizza making

was worth adding to the list of intangible treasures. are there for the this is a crowd of about. seven to him up to the. and it's a decision that's going down very well with supporters in the pizza homeland. story going to shimmy into a list recognition is important because it's a victory over globalization thrown to the level of leads us to look at the piece as made one by one in a traditional process that pizza makers have handed down from father to son. you see them on buddy buddy pheno. the traditional pizza margarita named after a nineteenth century queen gets by with just tomato sauce matzah rela olivia loyal and basel but the global success of pizza has also left some italians shocked at the choice of toppings in other countries. you know it's better i hope this will

finally prove to foreigners that this is the way pizzas made without nutella or pineapple. however you like it pizzas and evaded statis is something that will have connoisseurs celebrating all over the world. if that wasn't enough for you we have two young women joining me in the studio to talk much discover football conference which is taking place here in but then i'll be back with you shortly keep your tale of. golems as a figure on jewish myth artificial. in terms that played the role of to turn it over to centuries its character changed it inspired artists as well as

scientists whose fundamental questions about human nature. as. the legend of man. in forty five minutes. hijacking the news. where i come from the news is being hijacked journalism itself has become a scripted reality show it's not just good versus evil us versus them black and white. in countries like russia china turkey people are told it's that simple and if you're a journalist there and you try to get beyond it you are facing scare tactics intimidation. and i wonder is that where we're headed as well. my responsibility as a journalist is to get beyond the smoke and mirrors it's not just about being fear and balance or being neutral it's about being truthful. finding this point golf

and i work in. your home because of persecution in society. starting from scratch in an unfamiliar country. five people who phoned in a foreign land. with their stories books and music. bridges to the. future. this is coming to you live from berlin. company our top story palestinians have begun a so-called region response to president dollar trumps decision to recognize

jerusalem as the capital of israel protesters have clashed with israeli security forces in the west bank towns have taken to the streets in gaza. britain and the european union say they've made a breakthrough in briggs' of talks prime minister to resign may have made to your trip to brussels to meeting e.u. commission president. the two sides will now move on to negotiating a trade agreement. the discover football conference is taking place here in berlin this week it brings together female players coaches and journalists from all over the world who are involved in the game their aim is to address the issues facing women in football today the participants visited which is a conference spot the twenty three women started their tour with some great views of berlin from rooftops before the main part of their day a discussion with editors about how sports stories involving women are reported by

the media. my great pleasure to have between the studio two of the participants here. who's the head coach of the lebanese under seventeen women's national team and priyanka world jari an indian journalist specializing in human rights a warm welcome to both of you great to have you with us let me start with you priyanka what do you tell us more about this conference which is taking place and what do you hope to get out of it and your days here in berlin while you attend the conference you know we're really excited to be here and basically we just want to talk about how women in sports is something that still gets onto the last page of a traditional newspaper and depending on which country it is football is something that really gets gets really in a small corner but then these are women who often are doing better sports and are playing much better than the men's teams so these are the things that we want to

just discuss the kind of massaging me and sexism that continues to exist in sports and in spite of that the players play really well and as a journalist i'm here to meet coaches like him and to also talk to them about the ways in which i as a journalist i'm trying to navigate the ways to talk about about women's sports as is is not something that's exotic but as mainstream boards below means to make mainstreaming absolutely ok but you yourself are a sports spira football player what obstacles do you think women in football and count aspire to see your own country in lebanon first of all i want to thank you for being here. w w television i'm so happy first of all i was a player since ten years captain for the national team football or with sudden national teams i stopped for the last three years and then i was coaching the national team under seventeen under ninety and. there is

a lot of obstacles and i've been on especially the culture for the. as we have like we started the football like from ten years not more than ten years and it's like a little bit improving regarding the cultural issues and you know a lebanon that has a lot of religions and like some of the make religion is do not accept to play for both specially when she quit her job so this is attitudes which have to change in fact you know you're a journalist priyanka you were saying that you know what what needs to change in terms of perceptions that women's sport gets equal billing like men sport does i mean is it we journalists will have to actually change perception or does it have to come within society itself. the women sports. women who are in sports are already doing a lot with their sports which is really evident in the variety of sports earlier this year when the indian cricket team reached the finals in the world cup it was

a proud moment for all the first and we were really rooting for them and that got a lot of traction so when they are already playing well of course we also have to move along with them to try and look at them as sports persons and not as an exotic thing of women playing the game while at the same time acknowledging that for every player there is a background story which we have to acknowledge because each of them have had to struggle that's infinitely larger than that what perhaps a meal count will have encountered so it's necessary that we balance and respect and understand that those challenges while also looking at them in the sports person and not something that that's really different is a very important point because i've always noticed when women win even in india when we're on the hockey asia cup or everybody's talking about it but otherwise no one talks about their struggle here you said you were the captain of the lebanese national team for women and this was a couple of years ago have things changed since then. there is a lot like as more improvement in women's football but as we said that no one is

covering as a media. issues also of family are not like. letting the. kids or the. girls to play football so this is a very big problem especially when we need to improve something we need to like leave believe the players the way they want them go to the trainings and everything to do girls' schools and actually talk to them and say you should be playing football or talking to their teachers it's not it's not going on this this this time in lebanon what we're trying to do like i couldn't is an eleven on and two like join the girls to join any academy and the like and it seemed to play in during the league well you know i miss a lot of what you do but thank you both very much and priyanka for coming into our studio and talking about this really important issue about women sports people as well as women footballers thank you very much ok here in germany talks will start

next week between chancellor angela merkel's conservatives of the social democrat party and forming a governing coalition it's a move that could end the current political stalemate in europe's largest economy did obvious thomas paris spoke exclusively with the s.p.d. party leader martin schultz who told him the outcome of those talks is still far from certain. many countries in europe and indeed around the world are looking at germany and wondering when there will be a formal government and now the social democrats have agreed on a procedure that could take weeks if not months can germany afford to be so long without a government there is first of all a government in office which is by the way. composed by the christian democrats in the search of democrats that are going to america first chance to see my god where this first chancellor saw germany for the time being as a rule by a next thing government and therefore the government has

a parliamentarian majority we have no need to speed up especially looking to the fact that the so-called john mica allies crashed completely with the negotiations. they took two months after the election after the vote. to disagree they needed two months to disagree of the vote everything so. two or three weeks time to check if it makes sense to build to continue on the basis of a system of program in corporate thing i think that's justified and where justified for us. one of your key proposals here is that idea of the united states of europe my question is wouldn't it be also important to focus on not united s.p.d. given the fact that so many against another possibility of a grand coalition i think. proposal table to yesterday by the bureau of the party

unanimously adopted in the bureau of the party for the opening of negotiations first of all about content to improving the internal situation the best execution in germany improving the situation of the european union but got an overwhelming majority of the around i think ninety percent of the delegates voted to increase over that open so a way for negotiations with an open then yes for sure between early elections and grand coalition of the m every thing is possible but it depends from how we are able to agree on contemned that's the most important point for us and how confident are you that the conservatives would actually be interested in that idea that you present of a united states of europe. i think this is a proposal of the israelis since nineteen twenty five. to discuss how to improve especially of the brakes of the remaining twenty seven member states how they can

improve the basis of the cooperation that's the lisburn treaty which is obviously really not sufficient for solving a lot of problems we have internally and in international relations that's what i mean with the united states of europe that will not be a kind of united states of america or european soil become transform of friendship in the california you know german and thinks alien so impossible national civil or entity is strong and will remain but to deepen the transnational corporation that's what i mean with the united states of europe thank you very much for this interview mr shots. through that was did spot on with an exclusive interview with the leader of the s.p.d. not insurance now staying in gentlemen what does the average german on the street think off potties and the politicians more than ten weeks after they voted in an inconclusive election we've been looking at the latest trend opinion polling for

germany's national broadcaster. bungle americal is now only the acting chancellor and it could be some time until she is once again the head of an elected government if it ever is the merkel era as some suspect germany's most popular politician is foreign minister sigma gabriele of the social democrats the s.p. dame with an approval rating of sixty five percent merkel has the approval of fifty four percent while s.p.d. had martin schultz gets just thirty nine bought a majority of germans say they'd welcome merkel's dying on as chancellor for weeks merkel tried to form a so-called jamaican coalition with his cd un the c s u together with the greens in the free democrats alternately without success is now only another grand coalition with the s.p. day or a minority government can prevent you elections the s.p. day is being grappling with the way that to join such

a coalition again what does the public think which would be the best government at this point. forty five percent called a grand coalition of the c.d.u. c.s.u. in the s.p.d. good about fifty two percent consider it not as good or even bad for the first time a majority wants merkel to lead a minority government. the close relationship with the united states long a cornerstone of german foreign policy is being called into question with the world seemingly in turmoil who do the germans still trust in these troubled times ninety eight percent of germans place great trust in france britain has the trust of sixty two percent a majority despite breaks it less than a third expressed trust in russia and only a quarter in the united states under donald trump germans still support uncle americal even if his standing is diminished still can't imagine anyone else taking

charge of the german government. and from what i'm john. he's the head off in front of the polling institute that conducted that survey you just heard about welcome to you know why do you think so many germans more than fifty percent reject the idea off a grand coalition well as you as you mentioned in the report before we just talk the grand coalition is this will use when the only solution which remains at the moment for germany and people have seen what has come out of great coalitions is strengthening of the left wing party and of the right wing party so people would have preferred a different solution now it's up to read correlation. other any signs a journalist voters at some point will get tired of america well we are seeing mediately the day after the disk discussions between these four parties broke and

we'll give it up we ask immediately would you like to have marco to stay on and we have about the same number right at the moment it's about fifty six percent a majority would say yes we want america to continue ninety percent of her own party photos to say that ninety percent of the right wing don't want to continue but at the moment the majority says yes that's ever again. right and i just think that head of the in fact is the map putting a state thank you very much for talking to d.w. pleasure. staying in jim in the trial of ten people accused of involuntary manslaughter in the so-called love parade disaster of two thousand and ten has begun twenty one revelers were killed and one was seven hundred injured off to panic broke out in an access tunnel to the grounds of the techno music festival and they've been yaz of legal wrangling over whether those involved in organizing the festival should be prosecuted the trial is one of the largest in post war germany.

loose on this is standing by and do some don't but the trial is taking biz years as we said ten people have gone on cried want to all the charges against them that is correct you have six city officials and four event organizers who stand accused of negligent homicide and negligent assault due to the deaths of the twenty one revelers and indeed also four hundred others who were injured during the love parade and twenty ten now as i mentioned it's one of the biggest traumas in post-war germany over sixty family members and all victims of those affected have joined the trial asked cole plaintiffs tell us about the expectations. well at the moment the families they really just want to see justice served this is the second time that this trial is kicking into overdrive you have prosecutors who

are essentially there they're trying to formulate a way forward after. the courts have sent this case to the to the supreme court in the state sent it back to the district court and right now i'm standing outside of the congress center where that trial is happening at the moment and the statute of limitations runs out in july twenty twenty so the clock is ticking can we expect a verdict in that time. well that is the big question of the day all i can say though is that families are really hoping that before the statute of limitations ends within twenty twenty that they will have. some sort of. completion some sort of a way of knowing that their children their friends their brothers and sisters didn't die for nothing. lou sand is outside the courthouse in disarray all thank

you very much for that. and for the latest on bitcoin's dramatic rise or maybe fall over to get hurt thank you never know these days and actually it's a bit of both the virtual currency tumbles more than twelve percent in volatile asian trading on friday after touching a record high above sixteen thousand u.s. dollars in the session it soon dropped below the fifteen thousand dollar level again the largest us crypto currency exchange has been struggling to manage surging traffic as the imminent launch of the first bitcoin futures contract fuelled investor interest even further. this sunday its kickoff for bitcoin future trades potentially propelling the cryptocurrency from the fringes to the forefront of finance traders are busy coming up with a game plans the futures market allows them to speculate on the crypto currencies price at a later date something which may stabilize the crypto currency but also push the

price down from the dizzying heights of where it has been i think really argue a correction and i suspect the correction will happen when the futures markets come online and so my suggestion is to kind of wait and see what happens i think that if you're investing though for the next two years or three years then the difference between the price now and the price in a week's time maybe irrelevant. some say that bitcoin might not even be around in the next two to three years there is notoriously volatile with warnings that it may self-destruct and it's not backed all the same its impact is already thought to be lasting whatever you might think about keep the kratos is the reality is that the technology behind it which is the block chain is here to stay if i can make a kind of a comparison is more like the dot com bubble that we had you know early two thousand. while everybody was getting rates just having you know a dot com on the web side but even after the bubble burst the internet is still

there we have facebook google so the technology behind it is here to stay whether the coming a few just might prove the downfall or making of the digital darling is something really i need a few chicken toe even today's globally linked economies women often remain the single largest untapped economic resource college in the indian state of rock star has made it this its mission to change that best foot colleges training women from rural areas to take control of their lives and the well being of their communities aid organizations or even sending women from other continents to get to the institution to get empowered the sun is a virtually infinite source of energy. these women have come halfway around the world to register on to learn how best to harness that power classes at the so-called barefoot college of just beginning while those who study here can actually afford shoes they can't afford much else and definitely not

a house with electricity supply that's why the courses here are about solar energy systems in this particular class most of the students come from africa during a six month course the women learn how they can use solar energy to improve their lives in their villages. being a minister and family in my village there are only a couple of houses with electricity. and the road well when i'm finished here my neighbors and i will finally be able to use electricity as well that a proper look on. this man started the college nearly forty years ago. a lot don't get. me long in the beginning we also taught men but often they didn't pass their knowledge and skills on to others rather they took up new jobs and moved away from their villages women are more loyal and they have fewer opportunities and would charge women about gone addict out about what i mean what are. the college

has trained over ten thousand women now who have returned to their villages you won't find a connection to an electricity grid out here but you will find nana she graduated from barefoot college a year ago and is currently on her way to meet a customer who owns a solar power unit. the lights come and go there seems to be some sort of problem i don't know what it could be that. money gets to work she inspects the unit and after a few minutes she's figured out is the power storage unit with just a few twists of her screwdriver the lights are back on. would have done even then you know a village there are about forty five houses and in twenty three of them i've installed solar electricity systems get on me there are occasionally problems with the power storage units that's why i'm here. with me.

at the end of the day after the sun has gone down this village should still have electricity. and. last light off the seventy is of renovations the burning stopped open state opera house reopened here in the german capital the historic building originally commissioned by frederick the great exactly two hundred seventy five years ago has been ventilated to the tune of four hundred million euros and they've especially got up before months for the invited guests lost my job in measure from october to this is here he was that way you invited. this. opened it up so yes it did it over the time of the german reunification day which is a public holiday here but it was called

a soft opening because they still needs to install some vital backstage sort of technical equipment so why did they do this well it's all of a little bit about the paranoia here in this country are things not opening i'll just say there would have. the powers that be wanted to prove that yes we already were a bit weird a bit over the sched jewel of where bit over the shadow concerning the money but we are going to now they really have reopened the season gets underway with seven brand new productions let's have a quick look at the history here because it is two hundred seventy five years old it's the oldest opera house in germany and it's interesting oldest talk about soft openings because when it originally opened in seventeen forty two it wasn't. completed the scaffolding was still up and the invited audience of high society had to sit or stand around in the cold the king the commies afraid to see it was burnt in burnt down in eight hundred forty three then it was bombed and destroyed again

at the end of the second world war and the latest reconstruction was in one thousand nine hundred fifty five that's the building we're talking about now which is just had this four hundred million euro face lift and let's just hear a base of music because the acoustics are all important in these places all. love you know with that let us talk about the new acoustics after the soft opening as you called it do we know if they're any better well daniel barenboim the general music director of the opera house of course he was the one who was very concerned about the acoustics and he is given the thumbs up the signs are very good they've raised the ceiling we've got pictures now this extraordinary they've raised the seating by five meters and put in this ceramic net. so that the sound can travel

further and reverberate around the building you see making the sound much warmer in the house this is cost a huge amount of money but this was barenboim's greatest wish and the maestro does tend to get his way things has to be said and as we can see. there's a clarinet is trying out your cue sticks a lot of the musicians i spoke to some of the musicians they do say the acoustics are doing very well and are very good indeed now briefly but is the only capital city in the world to have three opera houses do we need them i say yes i say yes as well of course i would a man who loves culture but the box office is a bowl three houses doing very well the staatsoper what you want to talk about of course it was a way for seven years in another place and it's now it had ninety percent of its its ticket sales that this is the coalition over which one opera house of the year

in twenty fifteen days you can get a ticket for a toll so yes we do we the magnificent state opera is open but yeah poultice and. don't talk about yet they're all been met and fell back on today thank you very much for that. it watching the news coming to you live from but more news coming up with a lovely little high rock and just a few minutes. if you. want
