that comfort zone of their own car behind but if it's for free certainly here and many there's a broad wide expectation that people would go for it. germany does not have too many other options big cities have emission levels that have exceeded the e.u. limits for years if the european commission believes germany continues to ignore the problem it will decide next month about prosecuting germany at the european court of justice. it's been more than a year since farm as a new south wales and australia have seen a decent drop of rain water is scarce so is cattle feet eating from this in a precarious situation. these cattle used to graze on rich green grasslands but after a year without rain the pasture looks like this farmers in australia's hunter valley are forced to hand feed their animals if they can because the ongoing drought has dried up dams and creeks the situation is growing increasingly

desperate. it's very depressing to go out to a pedicure in find yet another cat has died. some farmers are even making the tough decision to kill cattle that have grown too weak others are offloading their animals at the region's cattle auction it's. a long term repercussions in this area because to get back. to the early. in the past droughts have triggered assistance measures like transport subsidies from the new south wales state government but that's no longer the case. i don't think handouts but i think when you when you've done everything possible yourself and you try to grab your property by various mazes and you still can't manage. with the soil growing dry every day farmers are left to fend for themselves and

look out for their neighbors true relief can only come from above. iraq is open for investors that's the message officials are pushing as a major international conference currently underway in kuwait aiming to raise funds to rebuild the country in the wake of a war against the so-called islamic state and the u.s. was not expected to make a donation but it has put a loan guarantee on the table these are some of the people the iraqi government is hoping to woo high ranking officials from the world of politics and business here to find out what part they might play in the reconstruction of iraq. rebuilding a country doesn't exactly come cheap iraq estimates the cost a close to nine hundred billion dollars the government is offering projects in almost every sector of the economy including in its oil industry and it looks like the message is getting across the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson announced a three billion dollar loan from ex-im bank to help the country the build the funds

that we've announced that we've already committed in the form of it we announced that there were are committing our all around stabilization in iraq and syria this is the part that the conditions for reconstruction. we have to restore the basic utilities and keep the area safe and secure in order for reconstruction to begin the conference is taking place just two months after iraq to cloud victory over the so-called islamic states it's an achievement the government is hoping will convince international businesses that now is the time to invest in the country's future earlier in the day tillerson laid a wreath at a gulf war memorial a reminder of just one conflict iraq is hoping to leave behind as it braces itself for what it hopes will be a more prosperous future. and more than just a major chance for their symbol of romance gone than is in venice carrying tourists

from all over the world but not might not be the case for long the boats are handmade and their makers have a hard time attracting talent across people. who the but you know how many honeymooners have cruised through venice on those long elegant boats how many memories were born here in roberto trouble undine shipyard. it dates back to eighteen eighty four when roberto's great grandfather set up shop. program and channel in those days there wasn't anyone who could officially teach you how to build a god so my grandfather stole the knowledge and the skills to make one for the masters of the time without going then he built a reconfigured version because he didn't believe the ones he was building where yet perfect to now a days we used the same systems the same measurements and the same ways of working as back then i recall many folk. but that's exactly what's becoming more difficult

roberto mancini has trained lots of young men over the years but they've never stayed on. it's hard work making a godzilla eight different kinds of wood are used the planks must first be soaked in water and later heated with fire to avoid damaging the fibers in the wood but. nonetheless the town's gondoliers say it pays off to do things the old way. that will not among. us gondoliers that use gondolas every day. is all about maneuverability there is a lightness when rowing and it has a unique shape and silhouette. to professionals it distinguishes itself from other gondolas and from other builders. but i think it's only on. yet it's a dying craft threatened by not enough talent and the arrival of new technologies come on he often wonders what gone those will look like in

a few years already setting to the hops that will be made out of plastic work like an inflatable boat that you can deflate what do i know to go to maybe it will be made of carbon whose face already black so you could save on the paint. the phone. gondolas will probably always be a symbol of venice though it seems like no visit is complete without a romantic gondola ride on venice is. famous canals. and now for a valentine's day story about an unusual bank in central and i won't find cashel gold in the vaults that know you're all the something money can't buy we are of course talking about love ok to dip below a museum and dedicate it to a famous slovakian love poem and titled marina the vault schools are lined away tens of thousands of love boxes each one inscribed with part of a press this is are invited to deposit momentos of their own love stories where
