this is the news live from burlington drumming up support for another grand coalition in germany the social democratic party leader on a mission to convince the rank and file to join with angela merkel's conservatives and the months of political uncertainty but reluctant members say that he has bargain in the way the party's values. also coming up pope francis on

a difficult visit in chile the pontiff faces a week in catholic church their leading followers after in waves of sex abuse scandals involving. the prophets of war we connect the dots to show how a german company is reaping millions of euros by supplying weapons for the saudi lead in yemen. and britain barrels toward bribes it as lawmakers there debate the last stages of the of. a special report on a key sticking point the rights of e.u. citizens in the u.k. . welcome to the program. in germany the leader of the social democrat party martin schultz is urging members of his party to back moves to form a new grand coalition with chancellor angela merkel's conservatives now the two

sides hammered out an agreement last week that paves the way for negotiations on a new government delegates to a key party conference on sunday must now approve that deal but schultz faces a hard sell among the rank and file with many say that it betrays social democratic values so he has traveled to the party's heartland in an effort to win support for the agreement. welcome to dark historically a bastion of the social democrats but many have lost the appetite for a grand coalition saying the party's losing sight of its aims. these are the paths of social justice is over and i can see that it's now more about careers and clinging on to seats. while this diner is selling as the daily denmark's in short selling the exploratory talks as a success but it's not easy to convince party members to support a new coalition especially here in north rhine-westphalia. we've clarified many

things there were lots of questions as our members really welcomed the discussion and i think there was a lot of reflection. and i think. that many still think the s.p.d. is making too many concessions even after the talks the party seems split off as the issues of citizens insurance work contracts reform and raising the top income tax rate is all missing from the current blueprint these are key s.p.v. issues so i don't know if members will be convinced that. many say it's important to take on the responsibility of government but others say the conservative bloc will damage the s.p.d. in government this is a right now we need to weigh up the options and that's a serious and difficult process the party's national representatives will decide on sunday whether to open formal coalition north rhine-westphalia will contribute to more than a quarter of the votes. and for more we have joining us now in

the studio chairwoman of the young socialist within the as p.t. party in berlin welcome to you good morning good morning how do you feel about a repeat of the grand coalition i am totally against the repeat of the grand also that all the young socialists in the social democratic parties are totally against the we fear that the future of our party is at stake. not but not only that that germany can take four more years of grand coalition of a coalition that isn't progressive but just keeps the status quo if you gauge the mood among the other party members within the s.p.d. i mean we know that you're part of the berlin fraction aren't sure which which tends to be relatively left leaning comparing to the rest of the country would you say that people though generally in the party tend to to support that sentiment that you've just expressed yes actually i think that's a regular members who don't have any function in the party or maybe

a lower french in the party that i haven't heard of one of them who is for supporting the grand coalition most of them are against it or at least skeptical and there's a huge gap at the moment of the party leaders who are totally supporting the grand coalition and the base the members who are totally against it so then proactively speaking i mean what would you have done differently and what would you do differently now because i mean your party is really caught in between a rock and a hard place you wanted to enter the opposition but now you know it seems as if the only option going forward is to enter this grand coalition or face new elections i think it's not the only option i am actually to join this grand coalition and also i think that it's not the duty of the s.p.d. to save america and her being chancellor but i think of course the situation for the s.b.a. is very difficult at the moment and we have to cast in december already very long a vision even start talks and we started talks and we said that. those are going to

be open talks and we listed i think sixty points which need to be fulfilled to even think about entering a crawl issue and now looking at those results of the paper there are many points which a very important was a social democratic party which they didn't get through and there is talk as i go i could see you so now i'm really wondering how the party leaders can say those are great results for the social. mark crist social democratic party because looking at our election result of twenty point five percent at the moment it's a question of to be or not to be for our party and we as young people we say we need a strong social democratic party in the future so what we think about is the future of the party and we say if we want a strong social democratic party this grand coalition can't be an option so is it fair to say that there is a disconnect right now between the party's leadership and the party's members and what does that mean for the head of your party martin. that's what i'm feeling right now actually yes that there's

a big disconnect and i really don't understand why the leaders of the social democratic party support these results so much i understand that they have negotiated very hard was a c.d.u. but looking at those results there's no social democratic hand-writing and if my kids wants to connect himself and his faith in the party was this results in south christian else not maybe in this case he's not the right one for for leading the party at the moment because we don't fear new elections and we also don't fear changing majorities in the polymer and i think i'm in a minority coalition can also be an option would be very good for a democracy and we need people who are up for that and we need people who really fight for the social democratic values ok so we're talking here about the good of your party right just generally speaking i want to talk about the good of the country right now though because you know if we look at the international context what it leaders for example are to turn to the leader of france emmanuel micron in

the e.u. commission brussels many other players in the world they really want to stable german government what would you say to them that. we are if we're talking about the future of the social democratic party in germany we're also talking about the fate of our country that's what we also care for we want is social europe we want a social germany we want strong workers' rights for example we want a penny in pollock. in germany that is good for the people here because many people fear to be poor when they're when they're getting older also we want the end of the austerity politics and if we look at what is happening now with a grand coalition we can see that so this government is also not going to be good for our european partners so i would call at all what you are playing partners to trust us and also to fight together for strong and socially europe and for coalition options and governments which support you they do yours and i don't see that the c.d.u.

is doing any of that looking at their refugee politics looking at what they're doing with their us territory politics to greece for example and i think that we can support that and tech can't take that any longer and i thank you so much this morning for coming on the program to share your views on the closer chair one of the chairwoman of the young socialists within the s.p.d. party here in berlin we appreciate it. pope francis has arrived in chile for what promises to be a difficult visit many chileans have turned away from the roman catholic church because of sex abuse scandals and its positions on marriage and abortion chilean president michelle bachelet welcomed francis upon his arrival and thousands lined the streets of the capital santiago to greet the pontiff but there were also protests by members of. the community and other groups opposed to the post pope's visit security has been stepped up following several attacks on churches and she lay last week. with the recent church attacks chilean authorities aren't taking any

chances but even those sections of the capital santiago are barricaded many are eager to welcome pope francis to their country. t.v. and the move says the media has been preoccupied with the church's polemic city especially about the figure of the pope but the most important thing here is to think about the message that the pope will bring in and. what a good one and if they're going i think it's a blessing from god that he's coming to our country but i think this is so that our country we the people a more united so that there is more love i am i have won this thing others are more skeptical considering the extra security efforts for the pontiff visit could cost somewhere in the millions. of us are going to go more to what is being criticized a lot and which also in my opinion isn't good is the cost of this visit. and some chileans who have suffered sexual abuse at the hands of clergy hope to deliver

a stronger message to the pope. it's not a time for the pope to ask for forgiveness rather a time to take action and that's what we ask of the pope not to be a coward not to continue being a coward but to take action. here in chile for example we have bishops that should be in jail or at least be fired through the records and that the people you with many here are hoping for a stronger stance on critical issues pope francis has his work cut out for him to rejuvenate the status of the catholic church. let's get a quick check now of some other stories that have been making news around the world palestinian leaders have voted to call for the suspension of recognition of israel the palestinian central council says that it will no longer here two existing agreements with israel including the oslo peace accords the meeting came in response to u.s. president dollar. trump's recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital. police in

california have freed thirteen siblings aged two to twenty nine who have been locked up in a house outside of los angeles they made the discovery after a seventeen year old girl escaped the family's house the parents are now being held and could face charges including torture at least nine construction workers have been killed when half of an unfinished bridge collapsed in central colombia the deck and supporting tower tumbled nearly three hundred meters into a canyon the bridge was part of a major new highway due to open in march an investigation into the cause has begun . threats and outrage coming from turkey aimed at plans for a u.s. backed security force along turkey's southern border with syria and iraq the force would defend territory held by the syrian democratic forces which are led by kurdish fighters but turkey's president breccia tayyip erdogan regards the kurds as terrorists and he's vowed to quote drown the force before it's born.

syrian government forces fire on rebel fighters in aleppo this some verified footage was posted online by the syrian government the syrian observatory for human rights say the army has captured dozens of villages in the past three days and is closing in on rebel forces further north turkey has threatened to attack the kurdish held town of a free in monitoring groups say shelling has already begun ankara had been hoping for washington support instead a fresh conflict is brewing between the countries the u.s. led coalition says it is setting up a thirty thousand strong security force to inhibit the activities of the so-called islamic state along the borders with turkey and iraq these areas are controlled by the syrian democratic forces a u.s. backed militia alliance led by syrian kurds but turkey regards the kurds as terrorists and does not want them controlling territory along its border turkish

president red chip type aired one accuse the us of acting against turkish interests should article i read it. now the u.s. has acknowledged it has a stablished an army of terror along our country's border. it's up to us to drown this army of terror before it's born. but. the syrian government and its key ally russia also denounced the coalition's plans at a news conference in moscow russian foreign minister sergey lavrov warned the move could lead to syria's partition. even if we take into consideration that i yes hasn't been completely destroyed as the americans say because some groups still remain. in the current us actions shows that they don't want to maintain syria's territorial integrity. super cute. to be sued. despite being on opposing sides russia and turkey have recently supported

each other in a bid to bring peace to syria it's unclear how to use threats against a free in march effect that cooperation in the future. while about what the united nations calls the worst humanitarian crisis in the world the saudi led war in yemen has killed more than ten thousand people and displaced three million and germany has a part to play in that conflict some of the bombs dropped on yemen by the saudis and their allies are supplied by a german arms maker the company is sidestepping germany's strict export regulations though overseas operations have a look. here in south africa some fifty kilometers east of cape town a huge tightly guarded compound the watch towers carry the blue logo of. germany's biggest defense corporation and retired general munition as it's called here presents itself as a leading producer of ammunition for sedition. to

start. with every detail. mainly in exploiting company and they one of the most successful defense companies in south africa they've got a ton of for of billions of rands every year because they employ of a two thousand people and they're growing at quite a phenomenal rate. from here the company doesn't just export bombs but also whole weapons factories thirty nine such facilities have been set up in countries including egypt saudi arabia and the united arab emirates they're all part of the military coalition fighting in yemen which is currently facing the world's worst humanitarian crisis. in. supplying bombs to saudi arabia for this war despite strict german export regulations this plant on

the holiday island sardinia manufactures these bombs. plays a role through the export of weapons especially into regions that are on stable where there is conflict where there is repression most obviously today in the middle east and plays a role in ensuring that those conflicts are remarkably bloody. profits flow into the german companies cough has. declined repeated interview requests it insists it follows the laws of the countries that operates and the german government also refused to take a stance on the company's overseas subsidiaries to the green party that's an untenable position. it's completely cynical of these defense companies to complain about the strict german regulations while they found ways to dodge the rules such as three overseas operations and then they continue to supply german weapons to

crisis areas that's unacceptable we urgently need to close these loopholes. government research as of recently said that german politicians can lawfully limit the overseas activities of german companies but it's unlikely that will pass and parliament. time now for business news with monika jones and we are heading to detroit today indeed we asked sara and of course as you will know that twenty seventeen was of course the difficulty of a car dealers in the u.s. was dwindling sales especially when handling german brands the folks like diesel gate scandal still weighed on consumer sentiment and donald trump's attack on german com makers accusing them of unfair trading practices didn't help either but you won't find to do. it to the north american international auto show in detroit quite the contrary as. one numb and reports. the automobile industry is all about salesmanship some people want to buy the feeling of

independence and getting away from it all of us want speed technical innovation or simply an affordable ride in detroit germany's comic has demonstrate optimism that they can cater to any perceivable need and a clearly back on the road to success. this is a huge market seventeen million cars were sold in two thousand and seventeen and we are quite proud that we could increase our market share in two thousand and seventeen the germans got some unexpected headwind from washington president donald trump accused them of exporting too many cars to the u.s. and threatens to punish them with tariffs but a concerted information culture offensive seems to have had some success recently as the attacks from the white house abated and i think people in washington have in the last twelve months learned more and more that we are not only selling cars here but that we are also producing lots of cars in the united states one of the best

examples for this is b.m.w. the company explicitly criticized by trump for being too successful the company has defended itself by pointing out that its biggest car plant worldwide is actually in the u.s. and that b.m.w. is securing tens of thousands of american jobs not only in. own facilities but also at its suppliers internally we call the u.s. our second home some problems of german automakers in the u.s. were of their own doing the image of german engineering took a hit when folks walk in cheated on diesel emissions tests but after it paid billions in fines and wholeheartedly apologized he was bio seem to be giving v.w. a second chance to fact folks bargain was one of the few car companies to report higher sales last year. so it's a wonderful time to restore this brand to its old glory over a time the optimism is also high quality and innovation will prevail says one of

the company's leading engineers if you look at the altar industry these days it's always the germans who make the next big step forward an assessment confirmed by strong sales figures by professional service from one of america's leading to fan magazines. respect for german german engineering and german car manufacturing hasn't really dwindled i think maybe the volkswagen brand took more of a hit then in the german auto industry in general in terms of people's perception i mean people are still buying porsches people stare still buy and b.m.w. and mercedes benz is and they still think they're great cars and with the economy booming unemployment low and donald trump's recent tax reform handing money to corporations and high end customers alike german comic us are expecting another year of growing profits in the u.s. . so twenty eight hundred looks set to be all bright and rosy for a german car makers in the u.s.

or any pitfalls on the way our correspondent asked the phenomenon of the chance to quiz a fox north america c.e.o. he taken in more depth. and this of of going when you started your new job here as the a c. or fox market in north america this was labeled the toughest job at v.w. now last year you had a five percent increase in your sales in a very tough and difficult market is that these gate scandal over for you know we have a high respect of doing everything right now and i think the most convincing recipe to regain trust is to to bring new exciting products to the market good deals for the customer you know reliability and total cost of ownership are the most important reason buying a car you know america with our new volunteers six years seventy two thousand transferable best in cost bumper to bumper warranty in america we made sure that we

deliver a safe choice for american customers with this great brand and therefore i'm optimistic that even going through a tough time that's true we have a positive future what do we do apart from that bar and t. to regain and establish that trust again with the trademark. yeah the the warranty . you know it gives the customer the confidence that also we are believing in the workman shift in the quality simply in the performance of the car it's a safe it's the customer say for comfort factor deciding for for this brant and that's why i believe it will support very much the decision for american customers for volkswagen you have announced a big model offensive and you have presented us u.v.'s but also new sedans like the jets now is this more a mixed bag or is this something that you need as

a producer like for exploring in a market like the u.s. you need it absolutely to be to get a relevant player to really come into the into the volume segments you have to be present in all major segments of the industry that's the way sit down the b.z. down the suv in the b.s.u. the in all of these four segments we have really great pictures great looking cars and therefore you have to clearly if you and yes we need this full range in order to be successful for the future development thank you very much thank you for asking. i was cast nominee in detroit talking to the c.e.o. of folks like north america innovation that can and we moved to asia now a composer and china has signed deals worth billions that will mainly improve his infrastructure but a flood of chinese money is already flowing into the province containing the country's beach bone town and many of the locals are less than thrilled at the

results. they have big plans here up to ten thousand factories are supposed to be built and the province of see how that's according to a master plan laid out by the government construction has already started with investments from china the region could become one of us most important economic centers the whole project is inspired by the industrial zones in thailand's eastern economic corridor. for the future it's a good seeing a lot of investment is coming in a lot of knowledge a lot of shops and a lot of tourists growing numbers of chinese visitors have to cover the nearby beaches also very popular casinos new ones seem to open up in every corner. of the i know a lot of chinese have come here to invest their money and build hotels and restaurants i think the fact that many of the new businesses are chinese own

operated is really important in helping to attract more and more chinese tourists to come here because it feels like home ok. it doesn't feel like home for many of the locals though they feel pushed out of their own city. no denying the good and now that the chinese have come it's difficult to find new places to rent both for business and for living. to tell you about in the. you know due to. several restaurants and stores have recently lost their rental agreements at the most popular beaches they were asked to move out to make room for a large investor with roots in both in china. and we've been talking a lot about the need to momentum in the past weeks and it's now also reached the world of top athletes and only this is one of the world's top athletes currently right now monica four time olympic champion simone biles says that she was sexually

for his first visit to chile where he faces pressure to confront a priest. sexual abuse scandal that has infuriated the nation many lands accuse the catholic church of a long time which has contributed to dwindle in membership. we had to nepal a country where medical care is limited and there is only one hospital specializing in plastic surgery interplast hospital and cut man do most of its patients are too poor to pay for their treatment themselves and they are reliant on german surgeons who assist the local staff our next report has some distressing accounts but the outcomes for the patients could be life changing. eighteen ten months ago a kerosene cooker exploded leaving her with terrible injuries only her face was left unscathed. but there is hope and

a german plastic surgeon who's visiting nepal will operate on her burn injuries are common here. they're really lovely people. happy then you take the bandages off and you get such a shock it's very sad over the course of four busy days the german doctors will support their nepali colleagues and share their expertise. sarita is another patient one her long hair got caught in a harvesting machine she was practically scalped she'll be getting surgery to is very pretty. it's the young patients that move to the most another is five year old said. he was born with two of his fingers joined together. and it's not a life or death situation of course but there's a difference between having. to join fingers and he's so small and sweet of course

we have to help him it's hard not to be charmed by a child like this. it's early the next morning. is the only clinic specializing in plastic surgery and. most of its patients are poor and they're treated here free of charge. the hospital was established twenty years ago by the german aid organisation interplast which continues to provide financial support. first up this morning the boy with the two joined fingers he's brave at first but when the procedure begins his courage slips away. when he wakes up he'll have five normal fingers. ramit is one of the nepali surgeons here he feels great compassion for the boy when he was a small child he put his fingers into an electric socket he's been in pain ever since from the scars caused by his injuries.

then at some rita's turn the woman who had lost all her hair. under a bushel has brought a vacuum pump with him from germany. he'll use it during the operation it creates suction which encourages the growth of new tissue that can later support skin transplant. there's a tense moment during the procedure but it works. and two days later when the doctors make their final round of visits so reader reports that she's doing well. in the avoid we're going to buy her a really pretty wig she'll be able to choose the hair she's always wanted. and a porsche and his colleagues perform thirty operations during their four days and.

when they go everyone expresses their gratitude. now the local doctors can put what they've learned into practice. or to head to britain now where brags that is rumbling along its way and today sees british parliamentarians debate the last stages of the brogues of one of the sticking points all along has of course been the rights of citizens in the u.k. our colleague frank is now here in the studio he has just come back from britain and he's filed a report for us i understand frank what did you find when you were there well a lot of mistrust a lot of frustration especially amongst e.u. citizens living in britain but you should see our report we should have a look i guess. teatime hoga homans place close to birmingham. two friends of joint in russia tolbert is polish and with the daughter of german and british parents daniela storage. the three e.u.

citizens at this table represent a small slice of the continent they all moved to england full appreciation for the country which. has since i came to britain you know like that for fourteen years ago no more now fifteen years ago i always found. british people and. very friendly but the looming breaks it has changed their lives. the three of them are part of the citizens initiative called the three million named after the number of e.u. citizens living in britain hoga home and who converted to the sikh religion often encounters the rising hostility against non british residents since britain voted to leave the european union home and finding some friendships and what they used to be. especially from people you know and you learned to know for such a long time and you actually like very much exchanged christmas cards you how that

now also old and whatever and all of a sudden you're being an immigrant you are being exposed to this kind of. this and all because he's from an e.u. country european union citizens in the u.k. have been concerned about their residency status since the breaks it vote. i am just worried i only have the german nationality at the moment so i need to do bit of research on how can i possibly obtain the british as well but it's a money question i have no funds whatsoever daniella could get a u.k. passport because of a british mother but naturalization can cost thousands of euros or go home and goes shopping with his trademark turban and his scarf proclaiming his favorite german soccer team at his local fish and chip shop he gets a mixed reception the owner is originally from india his employee gemma hale is

british we asked what she thinks of european union citizens. opposition that i. should leave why i think. that's why in my head i really have not been and things are that. holeman is still waiting for his order so we continue fishing for details so you would have to leave as well. but let's face. it i think me like that kind of thing coming to mind that i. had and i say in a nice climate why. what you can't bring yourself to say is e.u. citizens from eastern europe like cashier tolbert from poland she's picking up her son from school both of her children were born in britain she married her british husband in poland before it joined the e.u. he was working as a pastor in poland at the time cassia tolbert has british citizenship now but

getting it was difficult and it took a heavy emotional toll on the couple. and the uncertainty and then the expenses whirl and the length of time it took three months four months just to reply to different letters and find out what was happening ended up causing a lot of. tension even between us many people in east congregation from other e.u. countries came as a hard blow there were people crying because it didn't feel accepted anymore that there were going on the streets you had the and it's almost as though the whole of the situation justified racism because of the way it was spun cashier tolbert is in a minority of one he she alone wants to stay in britain after it leaves the e.u. . both olga home and daniela start said they've had enough of england they want to go back to the continent. and we are joined now by frank kauffman who filed that

report for us who is just back from the u.k. you know we really witnessed some hostility there toward foreigners how deep is that what you say based upon you know the people that you've spoken with their books i've been to the west midlands the birmingham area an awful gobs to the east england the county north fork and for me it was hard to find somebody who was really defending the european union and who was saying yes we want to we would like to revise the practice of the referendum and the outcome of it and the bricks that vote it was quite easy to find people who had horror stories when it comes to dealing with the home office for example we just saw those ministers braised who is married to a polish lady that he he married already in poland just before poland became part of the european union that's an easy thing usually on the continent in the european union and there they had more than a year to wait two to two to two to organize that she can huff british

passport she was afraid that she has to leave the u.k. and go back to poland doing all that breaks the debate and that shows a lot about the sentiment in the country and at the moment i think and i'd really like to highlight that story the story of daniela that we saw there in your report the daughter of german and british parents apparently she's considering leaving although she has a right to a passport when you talk about that process need we talk about rights is it difficult for people to get what they're entitled to because they can't fight for their rights is it a matter of facility there or are they being blocked somehow it's blocking and it's a lack of information i mean this lady a genuine she's of course talking to her polish friends and she got a lot of information about her process becoming british various she herself is half british but all that sentiment is spilling over and she house the feeling that this

fits her as well. probably it does not but a lot of what people are talking to us citizens talking at the moment is a lot about how they are treated by the home office and there's one thing i was told as. an information amongst these people these european citizens citizens what was saying that in the offices of the home office which is responsible for immigration in britain. it was that people working there have poses behind desks saying do everything not to leave anybody in. did you get the sense that certain groups were being targeted especially eastern europe pains that was there i mean i've not only been to the west and the birmingham area but also taste in england and a lot of polish unless the union citizens are working in the agriculture industry there they were invited ones to work and especially there when you when you do street interviews and talk with people many are mixing the fact that these people

were invited that they are part of the social system of the u.k. now with their own benefits and with their own life they say we are in a competition with them when it comes for example in the national health to the national anthems frank talk with us a little bit about the demographics because we know you want to specific areas in the country can we extrapolate those you know results that they those the stories that you saw for the rest of the country or is this really specific to these particular areas first of all we're talking about england's we're not talking most scotland scotland was against practice practice it's and of course many parts of the catholic dominate in northern ireland well also against blacks and even among prosperous and present parts of northern ireland we're talking but in the england i got the feeling that london who was against. it and against what it no in the referendum is not elam's when you talk about the areas where i have trouble through

just recently. again it was easy to find people who were against the european union and it was easy to find people who were against eastern europeans especially polish and if the unions rather than people who said hey i think we should revise the referendum and the outcome of it frank i know you've got going to britain for here i'm wondering if you can just put what you've experienced this from this most recent trip on a timeline for us you know how is the sentiment changed and evolved over the years but you say look pretty became part of the european union one thousand nine hundred seventy three that was a big step for. german social democracy is that time that would hate the prime minister to the pond please let us in and after that i think british people became more pro you used to work in brussels as a correspondent as well and i met and i still do have a lot of but friends that are eagerly pro-u. pain however when we talk to that parts of the country i have the feeling that totally changed and also to have the feeling that the brics it is especially the

ukip polity that is promoting brics it. somehow brainwashed paypal as well while implementing a very anti you incent and frank often joining us with the latest on your reporting there we thank you so much for sharing that with us this morning thanks for having me. let's have to ecuador now for a look at the life of a man who is truly one of a car and the last of the ice merchants of ecuador's highest peak his back breaking work is a source of joy for local people and it's just earned him an honorary doctorate for leadership let's have a look. twice a week by to zahra sets out to scale the highest mountain in ecuador. so. it's rush hour of sorts in the village of putting me at the foot of the dormant volcano in the end he's. but his own has been practicing the

eventually as the don't he's tired budgets are has to make the final stretch on fort. he still uses the same technique that previous eyes merchants. did two hundred years ago. and as you think would climb up here in large groups and sell their rice across the country. now. bizarre is the only arrow left. refrigerators might have made his job largely redundant but to bad design they could never match genuine glacial ice. that use this ice for things like cooling fish or making fruit juices and popsicles

it's special one of a kind. yes. on each trip up the mountain bikers are extracts six months of pure pleasure of ice. each flock weighs around forty kilograms five fields is grass to pack them up and keep them in so much for. the return journey down the mountain this time around ford takes another four hours .
