this is the dubliners lie from a controversial u.s. memo alleging f.b.i. bias in the russia investigation is released. u.s. president donald trump approves its release despite objections from senior f.b.i. officials will take you live to washington as a showdown between america's presence and its intelligence service eats up also on

the program of gunshots in cali as clashes between migrants leave people critically injured french police of plain migrant gangs for the violence which the country's interior minister says is unprecedented the french port city is a magnet for people trying to reach britain illegally. save the children of islamic state fighters we follow one man hoping to retrieve his grandson from an iraqi prison and save him from breaking out from a childhood behind us. as a warning from germany's chancellor as she heads into fresh coalition talks american since there are still major differences between her party potential partners the social democrats us next week's deadline for forming a government strobes close to find out what germans think of this protracted political drama. on the balance carnival is in full swing but not everyone is invited to join the festivities will find. how the floating city has finally put

its foot down on taurus numbers. i'm phil girl welcome to the program in the united states a controversial memo critical of the f.b.i. the department of justice has now been released here it is speaking as a white house event to u.s. president donald trump confirmed that he had declassified documents it alleges the f.b.i. abuse surveillance powers to spy on a member of his presidential election campaign the matter was created by republicans in the house of representatives. information the u.s. justice department and the head of the f.b.i. love it unsuccessfully to block its release. how in the last few minutes president trump has been speaking about the memo and this contents i think it's terrible you want to know the truth i think it's a disgrace what's going on in this country i think it's

a disgrace the memo was sent to congress it was declassified congress will do whatever they're going to do but i think it's a disgrace what's happening in our country and when you look at that and you see that and so many other things what's going on. a lot of people should be ashamed of themselves and much worse than. they do because one of the callinan who joins us from washington welcome back it's a disgrace a lot of people ought to be ashamed of themselves or the president says well it's out there now we've got a conflict here what have we learned. well here's the memo philip four pages of the main action stations are raise concerns with legit timoci and legality of certain department of justice and f.b.i. interactions with the foreign intelligence surveillance court and the second accusation is that this memory presents

a troubling breakdown of legal processes of salish to protect the american people from abuses related to the fisa process so the report mainly claims that some of the information that led to the f.b.i. surveillance of a member of donald trump's presidential campaign was information financed by the clinton campaign i have to say the server of the house intelligence committee to download this memo isn't working right now quite well everybody is trying to get this memo and very few people had to have seen this one had to read it before while some minutes ago. so how serious reasonably geishas are we likely to see resignations from the f.b.i. and the justice department well the democrats fear the document may be an attempt to discredit the inquiry into the trunk i'm painting links to russia which is being led by a special counsel robert mother it's important to point out that last year. the

director of the f.b.i. mr colby you probably remember that and a month ago the vice director of the f.b.i. mr mccabe resigned as so now democrats think that the white house could use this memo to fire mr moeller the head of the special counsel for russia or mr rosen and the deputy attorney general every probably because of course you already have that sound bite republicans say there's nothing important on this document and that the whole memo has has been politicized the f.b.i. hasn't reacted yet. ok the democrats put up a strong resistance as you say the memos are released so what's the public stance now now it's out there well it's not only the democrats that say that this is this this document was saying it would be sold because suppose they've lost saints that it isn't proven if it will be sold this

whole process is it would be if i did is already quite controversial because it wouldn't follow the rules or the rule of law here in the united states this document that was supposedly changed after it was released by the house intelligence committee and therefore the white house has now released a document that has not been passed by the u.s. congress and this breaks of course a rule feel like telling in washington doubtless we will hear lots more of this in the hours and days to come thank you for now. first take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world the united nations says that around ninety people are believed to have drowned off the coast of libya after the boat they were in capsized three survivors said most of those on board from pakistan more than two hundred fifty people have died in the last month trying to cross the mediterranean mostly heading for italy. police in kenya have fired tear gas at opposition protesters effect barricaded

a main road in nairobi demanding that kenya's three main t.v. channels be allowed back on the air in compliance with a high court order the government shut the channels down on tuesday after they plan to broadcast the market will give ration of opposition leader rather. the police reinforcements were sent to the french port city of county last night after clashes broke out between migrants more than twenty people were injured at least four in a critical condition with gunshot wounds the violence is a reminder that breaking up the infamous jungle migrant camp in twenty sixteen does not hold to the flow of migrants desperate to make a dangerous journey from cali to the united kingdom. desperate migrants pitted against each other. in this case africans mainly from eritrea versus afghans. the most serious fighting broke out at a food distribution center shots were fired but it's unclear by whom one man told the w. there are tensions over access to people smugglers who arrange passage through the

channel tunnel to england that appears to be fueling group rivalries and you need to grow as a. place if you see black people he said go but these are but. we don't know how. easy it. is to be stopped but after the brawl police at reinforcements and france's interior minister was on the scene as well he said smugglers were growing more sophisticated despite police efforts to get rid of them. this there may have been some unpremeditated events in the past but now we see that there are gang leaders who gather others around them says these are the networks we need to dismantle. but most people hoping for a ride across the channel are in a kind of limbo waiting for a break that never comes exposed to all kinds of weather and conflict.

you know. that to hit in hit. they to be correspondent masseuses in colorado the violence broke out he sent us this. really desperate situation for the microphones here in the city of kelly a jury in the night they try to hop on through a truck to the u.k. joining day time to try to find some rest find some shelter and find some food and the concern here really is that they're either found by police and have to move once again or they're even afraid now that the aid agencies that come and provide them with food in the future are no longer allowed to come and meet them so really fear of the police but also now since the latest clashes fear of violence from other microbes there's a fight for the best places to get on jordan if these trucks that has started in the city of kelly now the decision by the government not to provide any official shelter has created illegal small camping sites the big jungle of kelly has been

replaced by small jungles all over the industrial complex of kelly. and there is a growing generation of children who are a growing up the rule of islamic state jihad this in the middle east some were born that others were taken there by parents or joined i asked this fight us but what happens to those children when they jihad ists lose territory we've been following the german model is trying to rescue his grandson it is a journey into the unknown the man who has asked us to call them to bring him his own routine iraq he wants to bring back his grandson who was born an i.a.s. territory and is now held in prison together with his parents. standing about how kinetics all children aren't responsible for their parents do definitely not the children suffer months or years in prison this is unnecessary and he said. in abbeville he had straight to the german consulate.

the plot according to the iraqi government i will be able to stay here for a week and spend time with a child every day so he can get used to me. missing things. in the past weeks germany's government has been making efforts to bring back children of german i.a.s. reporters for humanitarian reasons iraqi officials support this move there are dozens of cases some even involving older children the question is could they pose a threat in the eyes of the islamic state they were future fighters security officials have issued warnings. and a fastest user can see there is a risk that these children come back brainwashed that they are ordered to carry out attacks so we have to consider that these children could be ticking time bombs off the message butting in on them david it's monday and counting the kid doesn't cut

it at least children aren't perpetrate as they have victims in the first place they comes at the circumstances and of their parents who brought them into a war zone and expose them to indoctrination outsold also has its top. parents such as those incarcerated in iraqi prisons reporters from german broadcasters and the video and the daily newspapers the dutch insights on were able to meet with three german women and their nine small children one lady agreed to an interview. on the do you look at i.a.s. critically by now. that's a list you don't want to comment on that instead of talking about the terrorist groups atrocities she preferred to discuss her children who she wants to go to germany we have altered her appearance in this drawing. when that six zero there are a hundred and six women and children living together in a room that is roughly one hundred square in the tos there's only one toilet and

not a square meter is empty. there are matches is everywhere and most children a sick i mean they play with awful cats they collect bottle caps and use them to pay with cash. back to ybor him he's the first family member who with the help of the german government is able to bring a child of i.a.s. members back to germany on the condition of a d.n.a. test he saw the taller in prison twice before taking charge of him the child's mother agreed to or son's departure he is fourteen months old now and apart from stories he didn't know his grandpa at all now he has received his german passport and is allowed to board the plane it remains to be seen how his past will affect him in the future all he knows is war and prison. he will be examined by doctors in germany i think with love and compassion you can succeed in anything but the shaft. the grandfather has brought in friends and

family to help his grandson settle in and turn a victim of i as terror into a survivor. so look a very human cost of what's going on there i mean massai is one of the reporters who made that piece of welcome to d w i mean so we have we have a family who went. to fight and a grandfather here in germany who's gone to try and bring fatah back. the father presumably has either been killed or is in jail and the mother what happens to. the mother is all saw will be facing. the judge the trial in iraq according to. according what she did some of them for example the last two weeks one of the german women got a punishment a death polish month in iraq some of them they are just joined their husbands it

depends on the on the matter is what the iraqi government to have against them so these poor kids and they've they've you know virtually nothing but trauma taken towards seeing death and destruction around and perhaps seeing. a father killed or jailed and separated there from the mother and then separated from them and. they come and go if what is the what is the better solution to keep the child besides his mother in the jill that you're going to create a modest or again. this sense of the iraqi government to say ok the children we can give them back till eight seven eight nine years old lets them go back let them to get the second chance to live in a normal life and also the government see it in europe also supporting that united

nations or still but we are talking about situation it is really just quite a new. the discussion here inside germany divided between some of them supporting that the children come back some of them say no this is a bomb that's there maybe they will say it will use that children. to do some sort of actions and who's decision is it on this side who decides whether the child in iraq can come back to join relatives here in germany first according to what we see first the mother should decide that she want to give her back if she do not accept that there is two ways first the child will be in the children home him iraq state separated from of the mother or just to stay with them although with the mother but iraqi government's first decided and also the german

government support that and at least there is someone from daimler religious in germany able and willing to get the child back. we'll leave it there but thank you very much for that it's it's it's quite disturbing to absolutely so you just see the very human cost of what is going on like you're a member sally york. this is the dubliners life from berlin still to come a crusade against corruption in motor more than three months after the murder of an anti-corruption journalist dublin weeks local residents continuing fight. just weeks ago because it was setting the record after record today that it's a different story and had a whole three could tell us more that's right he decided to hold on to those bitcoins and not fold them fail well probably have been in for a very rough ride some economists are saying this could be the bursting bubble so

many people were predicting big quinn has plunged below eight thousand dollars as a miserable week for cryptocurrency is comes to an end investors a confronted with a mounting list of concerns about the future of digital money setbacks include regulator e. threats from authorities around the world including south korea india china and the united states then there was last week's wreck or five hundred million dollar heist at a japanese exchange korean check plus fears of price manipulation and facebook's ban on crypto currency ads four cents reaching a record high of a around twenty thousand dollars on the eighteenth of december because it has lost around sixty percent. well the chief economist of u.b.s. wealth management says there's no reason for concern among consumers and less you were foolish enough to gamble on the cryptocurrency. well that your bank has just enjoyed its third annual loss in a row close to half

a billion years and endurance this is making good progress in cutting costs but it will take time to improve profits by streamlining operations ditching it business in less profitable countries installing a low cost culture which apparently does not. stand to top management certainly has a major p.r. problem in recent days u.s. authorities find at the german bank a combined eighty million euros for market manipulation it's already paid out billions for a series of scandals involving its mortgage business and the pressure is certainly rising on the chief executive john cry now remember he took over back in twenty fifteen the idea was that he was going to turn the bank's fortunes around but three years down the line while crying has only posted losses he says he just needs more time and there have been reports that the front based lender is planning to hike staff bonuses to a grand total of more than a billion euros for twenty seventeen the german government says the bank should

think about the impact on its image well here's what crying had to say about today's worse than expected results. this is yes it is the third loss in a row. for however it is also our first pretax profit since twenty fourteen shots at some just stream. only without the one of hit we took as a result of the us tax reform i mean we've now been reporting a net profit of almost one billion euros presenteeism. here's the rub that theoretical billion could be headed straight for company bosses bank accounts and executive bonus hikes for all the good work in the midst of scandals fines not to mention all those losses is a financial correspondent daniel cope. crying very well little by an eighteen it's not going to bring dr bang in the winning long and you know he

will most likely have or not and many people have been hurt. a lot because of those . bankers saying that the investment bankers who are by the way already making a lot of money up two thousand euro's here need to be even more motivated he does not want to lose them and he's not paying those bonuses two thousand and eighteen as a whole again when the board. electing more again how the banks forming . daniel coop in a frank for their own direction is p.r. problems and german carmakers also grappling with their own lists after it emerged that v.w. dima and b.m.w. sponsored studies conducted by the university of auckland here in germany into the health effects of diesel fumes now this is a common practice among many companies are carrying out their own research for revelations that monkeys and humans with the test subjects caused

a scandal when they came to light earlier this week. the study aimed to assess the impact of diesel fumes on human health unsurprisingly the three companies that funded it had a vested interest b.m.w. di miller and v.w. . when the test became public the outcry was grace with members of the german government various media commentators and even fox martin's boss united this week in their condemnation. but the researchers behind the study are suggesting that the response has been discussed coarseness pointing out that the study posed no risk to subjects health. when view. when we expose humans to harmful substances we make sure that there's no health risk involved and ensure of course that nobody can get ill. the study came to light as german

car makers most notably v.w. continue to struggle with the four layers of the diesel emission standards among those defending the research participants themselves. i personally find the whole discussion over heated we shouldn't get carried away. nothing much happened and up to this day i haven't experienced any repercussions. i'm not as critical or as upset about it as the german media is. in the media as. well such statements are likely to be welcomed by the car industry the further damage to their image is done the w. keen to prove its cleaned up its act has already suspended a top executive who knew about the experiment. in a shocking case which made us certainly reexamined press freedom and state and date

a bomb blew up daphnis car few hundred meters from her home. shortly after the police arrested three men small time underworld figures who are now in jail awaiting trial. jonathan ferris is a former police investigator i believe that these three people between individuals . are a lot of the men that did a short of a f.a.q. or should they just get circulation and that's it for the government and prime ministers of miscount the case seems ever lost its urgency and janata investigations into political scandals can have consequences johnson fierce was fired from his job in an anti-corruption taskforce they didn't want me to guide my team to dig more of a definition of. money dealers on his way to platters the private bank it's a secret dealings and ling's to figures in the maltese government where part of one

between how conservatives and potential coalition partners the social democrats five months after elections the country still has no new government and german seem to be tiring of the political wrangling the two passes return to coalition talks this week at a new poll released today indicates that many germans doubt well i'm going to buckles hopeful grand coalition will actually happen but even if it does the pope less than half the country would support it the numbers are even worse for the social democrats germany center left party is looking at its lowest ever approval ratings. germany's social democrats need to regroup they're still the second largest party in parliament but their standing has been flagging since the party's poor election results last september the latest polls suggest if people voted now chancellor angela merkel's conservatives would score thirty three percent of the vote far ahead of the s.p.d. which would get only eighteen percent and that's just four points ahead of the far

right alternative for germany party which would score fourteen percent the business friendly f.t.p. would score ten percent the greens and the left party eleven percent each the center left s.p.d. recently agreed to formal talks with chancellor merkel's conservatives with the aim of forming another grand coalition public opinion on the prospect is mixed and to do this means a standstill nothing will get done it's a lame compromise thank you for that it's crucial for germany that the two parties unite yet when i was hoping for a different result less than half of those polled forty six percent approve of a grand coalition government fifty two percent disagree but just over half still think chancellor merkel should keep her job fifty one percent of german surveyed felt good or very good about the chancellor remaining at the helm while forty six

percent had a less favorable opinion of her leadership as a head i would have liked to see a change but you convinced support the chancellor that we have no other choice. both parties will meet this weekend for further talks but even if they're successful in forming a coalition there's not much enthusiasm for it on the streets. let's talk through this political correspondent kate brady who joins us from our parliament studio. welcome kate germans don't say i'm not keen on a grand coalition anymore will govern by well in the last government why they got off the idea. well the main reason fail is that voters just as we were hearing in the run up to september's election is that they want change there's a real sense of political stagnation in germany right now and we've had two ground coalitions in three of merkel's terms in office and we've also seen both of the

parties involved it well that especially two of the three parties involved in this grand coalition moving towards the center ground of germany's political spectrum and in turn the social democrats especially have really lost their identity and have been overshadowed by conservatives and she's poached many of the party's policies and this is also the main reason why many people especially from the s.p.d. from the social democrats oppose a new grand coalition because they feel that if they were to join a new grand coalition then this wouldn't give the party the opportunity to regenerate and redefine its profile at the same time the only other options on the table are a minority government which is something that angela merkel has ruled out on several occasions or we'd go back to the polls and see new elections here in germany but as we've seen from the polls that you were just talking about there

there really isn't that much change and so we still see the c.d.u. and the c.s.u. coming out top i mean well the child's was a popularity the slide how so fishery. well it certainly has decreased already ten percent since the german election back in september but of course it is a reality that one day she will no longer be germany's chancellor but at the moment there is this reoccurring question and this is a quite important one for her party as well and it's who is going to replace angola moco because right now there really is no feasible alternative so even if we don't see a deal coming out of these grand coalition talks in the next couple of days when not suddenly going to they had disappear overnight so those talks continue into this weekend a do we expect to do well the posse is involved in these grand coalition talks have

set a very loose deadline for sunday evening so we could theoretically see a deal as early as sunday night but there is a couple of buffer days and we can see them also going to the wire again and if they want to reach this goal by easter as we keep hearing from negotiators of a new government then there's certainly going to have to speed up talks in the coming days kate brady thank you. he is a news story with a happy ending almost a thousand miles in south africa are safe and well after thirty hours trapped below ground they were all rescued unscathed from the beatrix gold mine in the central city of vel com they were left stranded after a storm knocked out power preventing lish from search for bringing them to the surface. the end of this workday came with a new sense of relief these miners were trapped underground for thirty hours and.

then my life. no one knew when they would get back up safely from up to fifteen hundred meters below ground my children couldn't sleep my family in every way they have been phoning we had this from the news the miners were pulled up one by one in a lift powered by a generator no serious injuries were reported but conditions were difficult and things could have ended differently. for. being on the ground. so i think. it's my. must make sure that. something like this must not have been. mine unions say the incident reflects ongoing safety problems they're calling for an independent investigation.

and it's not just a losing zillions this time it's the mess some american companies but they've got someone else to blame that's right a plenty on the trumpet ministration not us tax reform which of course the us president has been touting of late in some of his key speeches but yes some companies using it to explain that was than expected numbers deutsche bank one of them the google parent company alphabet also saying that the tax reform is one reason for its quarterly loss all three billion dollars setting aside eleven billion dollars for taxes as it brings back profits from brute now without that one time ciancia that remains highly profitable driven by search advertising but it is looking for new sources of income. among them life sciences cyber security and self driving costs. well apple on the other hand has yet again had a record quarter making a profit of twenty billion euros in the final three months of last year now better

than expected sales of the recently released i phone ten caused revenue to soar but the model's hefty price tag has helped to obscure a trend likely to be worrying the company sales of i phones when we look at the overall we're actually down compared to the same period last year. super bowl fifty two is due to kick off on sunday the season final of the national football league it's the most watched sporting event in the united states now it's also traditionally an advertising extravaganza with at least one hour of the three hour spectacle given over to presenting the latest products now while last year's game showed some ads offering subtle digs at president donald trump advertises this year are expected to use a more conservative tone. there's no doubt about it the super bowl is big business and the show begins long before the players take to the field

even the arrivals of this year's contenders the new england patriots and philadelphia eagles at minneapolis st paul airport it was a media event these are some of the u.s.a.'s highest paid athletes. television advertising during the big game also attracts a minor galaxy as advertisers go on a no holds barred star studded spending spree. now. this year's lineup includes big hitters danny de vito. morgan freeman and missy elliott. soft drinks snack foods in celebrity motorcycle may because all want they have brand to be associated with the big game but why would the desert talking to my son donuts. thirty second spots are going for five million dollars this year but that's only

the beginning for advertisers they spend many millions more on production on celebrity endorsers and so this is a major investment for marketers but one that they continue to to think is pays off because of the massive viewership of the super bowl more than one hundred million people watch the super bowl n.b.c. the network carrying the super bowl also has the rights to the winter olympics and is selling a package to advertisers which includes both events some estimates say the network will reach a billion dollar bonanza if you can. after a football season in which politics seeped into the field super bowl advertisers will likely steer clear of anything potentially divisive and it's airing the ravens . even celebrities who animal a privilege a rough seems to have avoided control of a seat tipping super bowl favorites new england patriots.

from football all of the idea of all of the right see over to football off the ground for heights now with so many ways it could've gone wrong because. yes we have we're going to talk american football but you know going to german football say it went wrong. they can make out. discuss the weekend action welcome nick. here what's the big game of the week is about this three actually. broke during the last break. also two very attacking teams from expect quite a few goals in there but the real story of the weekend is the return of peter he is obviously as the coach of four years he's returning to the city's night with his new team dortmund. teams to watch a preview of the. storm and let's take a look. at game like no other pizza described this evening as league clash in cologne the dortmund coach arrives back at his old club tonight two months

after getting the sack the man who led cologne back to his league and european action is looking forward to his return. to. the stadium it's again like no other. since arriving in the room vallecito deserve a scene an upswing in dortmund fortunes a team that was floundering under former coach peter boss will move up to second with a win it will be the club's first match since the departure of. those still believe new signing mitchie bats why he is ready to step in. the thing to. believe it's easier first central striker than for defensive. the guys who play in attack goals. you can do that can do it's any club. of the same. things remain bleak but a win will lift them out of the relegation zone for the first time this season coach different is refusing to be distracted by the return of his predecessor from

a. huge event against one of the best teams in europe. they are tough apart and for me to coach against. my much have to coach and. everything else that comes with it is not so. it's from mission to. time coming right it will be another positive step towards safety. so mick mckenna kline clone of the season on the peace jirga steffen route back house to things around. some long way to go before may of course they are quite a few games to win lose and draw but and i'm surprised by how their fortunes of changes the team don't forget who in the first sixty days of the season had not won a single game had three draws i have three measly points since then they've won three and drawn one and not lost a single game so they've been of today fantastic form so far. but this could be a blip we've seen it before that teams don't do well they have

a phase of five six seven eight games where they do well again and have an awful form off there was a it was necessary saving for a really gauge and they are still lost in the table but they have addressed one of their biggest deficits and that's the fact they sold their biggest strike the last of the at the end of last season as they mode-s. he scored twenty five goals for them last season carried them in europe and they never placed with magic a placement they have now will see in a lot of guts now in january and in the first three games of the club he scored three goals so he's not quite specific as my best was but he's a good replacement and he'll get goals when they need it i'm not exactly sure if i'll save him for medication but is that it's a good it's a good shout another big goalscorer who has gone of course is. about young what about his replacement but sure why how's he done you go then right i very well disagree with. very very well the previous club the same say any formal for his country belgium but chelsea where he's come from he's more of a reserve play he was behind to set strikers and he has come for the last say five

six seven eight nine ten minutes of a game never long enough to make an impact but what we don't people to realise is that he actually schooled one goal every eighty eight minutes is quite good for a strike even any one of the striker the premier league has done better and that was harry cain. who. starting tonight for dortmund against cologne he's he fits in quite well for dormancy similar to obama he's a very strong upper body which means he can push defenders out in the box he can run he's very very fast you can run pos them feel so light heart of the same way about me and was i mean we know that he was called batman so when but when why each sign for the club he said in it's week he'd had the batman job was up for grabs and he's coming to dortmund to take over so i expect us to have lots of fun about why over the next six months while he's in top and they have had a rough season there dortmund losing key players struggling to perform consistently have they lost the man close germany's second bestie they have unfortunately this is also been saying we should go for last eighteen months that save in the summer of twenty sixteen they saw three massive players amounts homo's and it could tyrion

a good one then in the summer of twenty seventeen it was mundane belay left and now coarseness past transfer window. and box of the six players who are vitally important for the club who have left but it's a good thing for the business they because that means that other teams as a leverkusen shaka frank have all been able to move up in the second place and there's actual competition for that spot which means that second place is actually the most exciting part of the bundesliga table ok we have a club thank you for that. now olympic spirit is reaching fever pitch in south korea with a pill jan winter games just a week away athletes are getting in some final practice sessions on the slopes before competition starts in just a few days fans will be able to tune in as early as wednesday with sudden stick around for friday's opening ceremony at the i'm a big stink. that's been more courtroom drama in the sentencing hearings for disgraced us to grass to dr larry nassau a father whose three daughters were abused by lunged across the courtroom in an

apparent bid to attack the former doctor has been sentenced to hundreds of years in prison for decades of sexual abuse the judge has said the father will not face charges for the attempted attack. i'm more than willing to let you say something but you know we try and we don't use profanity but if a distraught father faces the man who abused his three daughters over the years to those who are just going. to grant me five minutes and a lot of those of you. i have with you. there are nervous chuckles initially. would you give me one or. the grandma grace tries to take matters into his own hands as a. baby to sleep or to. be paid out.

over powered migrates finally gives up. this precious he's right away he asked the question nobody would want to consider the birth of her. i was kind of also used in europe not means many countries are celebrating what the germans refer to as the fifth season but nowhere as council quite as exciting as in fairness the city. where the costumes and the traditions have a special advocates are also having a special against the culture as a kind. of hair left on the it's not there well look it's on the war so. they really do it quite differently don't they be they definitely do i mean carnival in the german speaking world as i'm sure you know it's that much more sort of rough and ready kind of thing it's serious drug really good dose of tomfoolery even a lot of slapstick humor but then is has

a very very different tradition so this kind of goes back to dates back to at least the twelfth century and it's particularly famous for its masks which you can see behind us but also perhaps here couple of pictures they are really. in art form in themselves so this was traditionally to disguise your identity whilst you're partaking in all of that carnival nastiness you know as the nobles were mixing with the commoners and the costumes can therefore be as you can see here incredibly elaborate and venice you know plays and has that notion of escapism like all carnivals but it's just far more sophisticated than any other certainly in my opinion and needless to say such a spectacle as this is a huge draw for the tourists. all of whom want to take part in a little bit of this magic and a lot of that happens right on water so let's have a look. every year thousands of visitors from italy in abroad come to see the historic boat procession on the rio de cannot reach.

i am actually venice is just always beautiful we come here often montauk a lot and it's so colorful picturesque and vibrant. it color warmhearted at least in. the cannibal boasts a long but broken history it began one hundred years ago it was outlawed at the end of the eighteenth century after a long absence it returned in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine the celebrations are a chance to head in a stick at their punching into for the most on the time of lent the floating parades are among the cannibals oldest traditions. this tradition trammell from i think years before in sensory where divination decided to make this bar a day to celebrate. the but the way not in the bottle of left on top. was

quite different but anywhere a symbolic way so we decided a few years ago to ripper because like a lot of things here we do indeed can your idea just reconstruction a wider range of any family even the past. to see esteem and clear out of city tuscaloosa can be roughly translated as creativity city and sports the revelry ends on factories to change. when the sun touched a lazing and a look at these these crowds behind is clearly it is an enormous tourist spectacle but not without its problems definitely not as you can tell venice is is obviously is an incredibly it's such a fragile thirty based on its. architecture on its situation there on the lagoon with water underneath it's its foundations and also in terms of its of its eco

system so it's some people say that obviously with all of these massive crowds flowing in that venice is dying a slow death and that's very much due to mass tourism the visitor numbers in venice are high on any given day of the year but during carnival they can swell to up to one hundred thirty thousand a day and one of the problems has also been. cruise ships that literally dwarf the old city and in fact just last november the city finally imposed a ban on the really big ones so that they can no longer come right to the grand canal and you know the authorities are in there i mean they are taking steps to try to alleviate this paradox that mass tourism is ruining and destroying perhaps some of the things that make the city so charming in the first place unesco actually even threatened to possibly put them on the list of endangered world heritage if they didn't act so interesting enough this year they have actually limited or decided to limit during carnival the number of tourists who are allowed on the

famous so that's the biggest where in the city. twenty five thousand people will be the limit at any given moment so that kind of puts a little bit of a damper on the charm but you know as you can see here with all this water the venice is subject to so many really specific problems that were even reports today of some of the canals the water level is very low actually dried up due to lack of rain tards so it's kind of turns the whole place into a bit of a mucky swamp and you can see climate change pollution pollution brought on by tourists certainly wreaking some havoc there at times. no definitely not this is a problem that we're seeing i mean hordes of tourists are obviously causing residents in many cities across europe to to literally leave two to flee from the center of the cities of interest. if you consider that venice back in one hundred seventy one they had over one hundred seventy nine thousand residents well today that struggle to just under fifty five thousand so it's been really quite quite an

exodus. that people can't afford to live in the center anymore things are too expensive all of their sort of basic needs shops are giving away and giving away to tourist traps they can't stand the noise and the pollution cities like barcelona and san sebastian in spain as you know there's been some actually some pretty hefty protests protests by residents there to make and polish another example of a city that's very hard to move around in the high season so you know a lot of things are contributing to this obviously the greater global prosperity cheap airlines and huge increase in commendation possibilities with with companies like air b.n. b. bobs of course tourism is such a big so many jobs depend on the governments are very very. they're quite hesitant to take such drastic measures so having outlined this massive problem what is the solution. for what is like and i guess first of all for all of us personally

greater consciousness that we are part of the problem i know you are because you have been to. but those of us who like to go there or find it yeah i mean anybody who wants to go there obviously if you're going there possibly the best time to go is not during carnival or high summer season and obviously i think as much as i hate to say it you know communities and governments are going to have to get tougher with with regulation with limits thank you. because you recently completely live it up at home for oh i don't have them thank you very much abbi so a good day. i'm
