armenia that country's political crisis has just deepened this evening the parliament rejected opposition leader nichol pasha and for prime minister after the ruling party refused to back him he was the only candidate for the job on has been addressing thousands of supporters outside parliament he said the ruling republican party had declared war on the armenian people and called for a general strike to take place on wednesday nationality protests that prompted the resignation last month of the previous prime minister. all right let's go straight to w.'s in a colleague who is asked the same nic some dramatic developments in the parliament earlier what can you tell us about those. well they are just a few minutes after we last spoke last we call passion and steamed past us company

by huge crowds cheering clapping made his way into the public square behind me he didn't manage to get the vote the votes of the ruling republican party they went back on what they had previously said that they would support his candidacy is the only candidate for this temporary premiership and now he's come out into the square and called out this extraordinary general strike tomorrow not only that here supporters say they're going to block the main roads to hold the poll does that has with georgia with iran there was going to block the main roads the airports laura so we might end up being if you quite some time right in the live pictures as you're reporting of that huge crowd assembled there waving the armenian a flag marathon nine hour parliament session and they are people around you disappointed are they angry or just resigned. i think there's a lot of surprise and frustration early this morning when we were told people they seemed convinced this was a done deal that he would be prime minister actually promised by the end of the day

and then it turns out that the republican party that's been in power for almost two decades isn't just going to give up power and except losing control as it it seemed a few days ago especially after the shock resignation of sir. this isn't the end of the road as we've heard just a few minutes ago from. the opposition leader and the question and i think so far people see this as part of the process they're not resigned yet the people we've been told you say they're going to be outraised tomorrow so this is still a mix between shock surprise and. dissemination to carry on right determination to carry on and you mentioned the opposition leader the rhetoric has been heating up or he's called for the general strike as you've been reporting has even called on police to join him what i wonder is what's the risk of things getting out of hand here of actual violence breaking out. he did

once again tell everyone to reiterate this is about violent protests one of the characteristic of gestures of this president sort of hands out just to show that these people protesting on something he came back to tonight was very deliberate about so far these protests all remarkable in terms of their i'm certain the variety and the real inclusiveness you have young people yes young men but also families old people people bring their little kids here so far that doesn't seem to have changed this seems to be a pretty wide cross-section of society whether that changes tomorrow when things could get ugly in terms of police coming towards these just the sort of infrastructure we'll have to see tomorrow so far the police kept their distance and has been very deliberate about showing they're not going to come out and disperse these protests let's talk a little bit about the ruling party who has the absolute majority in the parliament

who managed to block out the appointment of the opposition leader as the new prime minister these protests that have been going on for weeks how tone deaf is the ruling party do they have legitimate reason to not endorse this candidate. on paper obviously they have their majority in parliament they have their majority of seats having said that many opposition people people supporters actually see georgia they will say that those results were in this are legitimate they point to what they say is consistent pressure on civil service people working to the state to vote for the ruling public and bodies they would say those election results in previous years haven't been up to best practice sounds like they are actually legitimate to reflect the will of the people or such they say their point they make times on again is the passion and hasn't given a very detailed account of what he's going to change they say he talks about freedom about democracy but he doesn't. have the detail knowledge of how he's going

to run the country and how he's going to protect the country is after all a country that lives in permanent frozen conflict with its neighbors by john have a car by. having said that these numbers are in prestigious to have a high i mean the public square is the biggest nirvana not one that was ever used for political parties boys local seles because people simply thought they wouldn't be able to fill it well today passion you know how to be able to pillage so this is seems to be a mandate and a support base that goes way beyond protest movements all policy is contrary to and we've just been watching live pictures of that wall of a sea of people behind and there were they were celebrating it looks kind of like a concert almost a type of atmosphere before i let you go can you talk to us a little bit of briefly if you can what happens next in terms of formalities could we see a lections taking place anytime soon. so the constitution would say seize that having lost this election this vote in parliament today it goes to

another vote within a week we don't know yet whether the ruling party is going to test their own candidate or if it's going to be just fashion and again should the parliament not be able to elect an interim prime minister next week we'll have snap elections all right nick ali thank you for your continued coverage and calmly reporting from the army and capital yariv on. all right now where two other news of police in nigeria say at least twenty four people have been killed by suicide bombers in the northeastern city of movie the two bombers detonated their explosives at a mosque attacks bear all the hallmarks of the islamist militant group boko haram. say to increase is in lagos nigeria for us. it went another horrific attack what more can you tell us about what happened. well as you said it was two bomb blasts that we heard of in the city of moving the

northeast of the country and it's this tragedy that has been we have been seeing many times before the first bomb was blown up in a mosque and shortly afterwards just a few minutes later and only two hundred meters away from the first bomb blast there were the second suicide bomber who blew himself up killing many more people we're still not sure how many people actually died there's numbers from twenty to forty we are hearing because right now it's very difficult to get into the town i just talked to a colleague on the ground who lives nearby you tried to get inside to tell him but the whole area was sealed off by the military because they first want to see what's going on and make sure no it's another attack will be happening adrian talk just a little bit about movie has this region this part of the nigeria been targeted before. yes so in two thousand and fourteen movie was actually the headquarters of the callee fed off boko haram they declared that because they took over there they stayed in the town for a few months and just in the end of two thousand and fourteen the military managed

to push out of this area after was there were still a few attacks but things kind of normalized that was a movie about a year ago and you could still see the damage of the time of a lot of the banks were destroyed it was very clearly visible that terrorists when town before but you could also see that things got back to normal trade were starting again movie was once a booming traits on and this slowly came back but with the attack that happens today it is very untrue will be very interesting to see how things will develop an unmoving now all right so things have taken a turn for the worst has there been any reaction from nigeria as president of the model hari. not yet but surely he will react to when you will condemn the text what he has that's what he has done in the past when there were suicide killings and the text and he will probably also say the government is trying its best to make sure the future of this will not happen again but the reality is it has been happening and it has been happening a lot more often over the past weeks and months in the entire north east of the

country maiduguri for example just last week there was another attack suicide attack but also five just trying to get into the town so has been saying that book is technically defeated and he has been saying that for quite some time now but the reality on the ground is quite different age or increased reporting from nigeria thank you all right want to tell you now about some of the other stories making news around the world. an abandoned high rise building in sol pollo brazil has collapsed following a huge blaze at least one person was killed twenty six twenty six storey high building was frequently occupied by squatters and his feel that there may be more casualties. in the capital of the philippines manila thousands of demonstrators have burned in effigy that depicted present day as a demon a protest was part of may day marches they were probably protesting to turkey's failure to keep a campaign promise to get rid of short term employment contracts. the maker of the

iconic gibson guitar played by the likes of b.b. king and elvis presley has filed for bankruptcy protection the guitar maker has been omnipresent on the american rock n roll stage for decades while now under the new ownership of creditors gibson plans to continue its guitar making wild winding down other parts of the business. a judge and all strongly has ordered the country's highest ranking catholic cardinal george pell to stand trial on multiple charges of sexual abuse hell is the most senior member of the catholic church to be tried on such charges details about the allegations haven't yet been made public but police say they are historical sexual assault charges dating back several decades well has pleaded not guilty and a date for the trial has yet to be set. but with me in the studio now is over her

own religious affairs correspondent martin martin good to see you the vatican's treasurer to face trial how damaging is this for the catholic church well it is clearly you know it's a stain on the vatican at least in terms of sort of public appearance but at the very same time i mean it's sort of the fact that there was released to the australian authorities to release to defend his name in a court of flu no strollin shows about to finish actually willing to put very very high ranking people. in front of national authorities how unprecedented is this put this into context for the subsequent president and for somebody of this disruption to be facing national authorities furthermore the church has been systematically reluctant to present documents or to present evidence to national authorities prosecuting persecuting sexual abuse or cover up charges however the dead does not

mean the bay have not done it they have not done it willingly. once again for somebody at the stage of his career ia this rank is actually something really quite remarkable and more than refresh my recollection who is cardinal pell and what is exactly being accused of bill was the highest ranking figure of those trillion church he became one of the most important conservative cardinals within the cardinal school and he is. an m.b.a. is figure in relation to this pope i mean he's somebody that was very close to day nursery called that ministry of inner circle but he took actually a very open position against the pope reforms and in fact he actually supported people that directly criticise the pope within that within the cardinal school i mean including including some very very very conservative voices it is not really completely clear as to whether putting or allow in this man to go back to australia is something that the pope would see as a political problem much of the country this could also be read as an opportunity

for the pope to farther he said to reforming the cardinal and the could be so that the core of the catholic church or this could also be the vatican leaving this cardinal out to dry very much so indeed this is so disappointing the point is that in fact this is somebody that in many ways is sort of part of the brand so it's something that he's looks like you know central attacking somebody very much in the core but at the very same time is somebody that is very closely associated with groups that you know wanted to essentially preserve a study of schools so this is not necessarily a bad. you know moment for this purpose of. religious affairs expert thank you so much thanks my pleasure. as. well gemini it appears as news in patients with washington's trade brinkman ship in the german economy minister says that raising tower ifs would be the wrong way of going about things because it would end up hurting jobs germany europe and the

united states the page says that delaying the decision date just hours before the midnight deadline is also a big problem especially as businesses have no way of planning for the future. that's die of relief for the european steel industry at least for now for the next four weeks the e.u. can continue to sell steel and aluminum to the u.s. without additional tariffs. back in march donald trump signed off on plans to impose tariffs of twenty five percent on steel imports and ten percent on r.u. minium two weeks later he granted the e.u. and several countries a temporary waiver that exemption ended on may first washington accuses the e.u. of unfair trade practices trump says if no deal is reached within the next four weeks tariffs will be back on the table analysts say now is the time for the european union to take decisive action. that i sent out of the e.u.

should do three things first it has to admit that there's a problem i think it's important to be honest second it needs to send a clear signal that it's not going to run away from a trade conflict in other words the americans a statement the third thing is to offer a concrete proposal at light would be a smart one the german government said simply that it had duly noted the extension that it expects a permanent exemption from the tariffs. on them and it would have preferred to have received a definite permanent way for with immediate effect this didn't happen so now we should use every opportunity to reach a reasonable agreement. but getting both sides to agree on what's reasonable won't be an easy task. well let's get the view from washington our correspondent cast in it for nominees standing by casting a lot of surprise at this delay as opposed to real so i all relief thirty days from

now what we're trying to consider a win. well i guess for the on a trump unconditional surrender by the europeans would be the preferred outcome the president has been ranting for some time now that the european union is unfair towards the united states and he might have very few firm convictions but the idea that others are taking advantage of the united states and that previous u.s. leaders have been too weak to do something about that that is a conviction that he has has for many years that but the people around him of course ready to compromise to some extent the commerce secretary said today that some fruitful discussions were going on with the europeans about reducing overall tensions in the trades relations but i think even with ross and other people in the

u.s. administration wants some major concessions from the europeans they believe that they are in the stronger position of the europeans have multitudes which means meanwhile of course a month of hand-wringing for the european union as well as canada and mexico once again we still makola mcelhenney to washington that charm offensive didn't tap the desired effect can we expect them to now make an. well the official position of the european union has always been that they won't make any concessions. under the threat of punitive tariffs but of course it's possible that behind closed doors deal might be reached which would include that there will be some concessions from the europeans but officially those would only be agreed then the u.s. says ok the exceptions for the europeans will be indefinite and then

a few weeks after that there will be the official announcement of the agreement but i'm just speculating here but that of course is always a possibility and all the while of course china still feeling the sting of days terrorists call the secretary wilbur ross heading day this week for trade discussions is it too optimistic to think he might come back with some kind of resolution well. today that he wouldn't go there if you wasn't hopeful that something might come out of it again the americans believe the u.s. administration at least believe that they are in the stronger position because they have a trade deficit with china china wants to sell its goods and so they can dictate the terms but that might be a bit overoptimistic china the chinese government has a different perspective has a more long term perspective in its power struggle with the u.s. correspondent constant fun nominee in washington good to talk to you thanks

any such program in recent years all this after israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu unveiled documents yesterday which he said show iran lied about its nuclear intentions in the past and is still pursuing its weapons program today the u.s. is backing israel u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o says israel's information shows the international nuclear deal with iran was built on lies. earlier i spoke to iran expert i've known and a i asked him which side is coming out on top those countries who think to tehran is it here into the nuclear agreement or those that think iran has been deceiving the international community for many years. well we have an internationally recognized watchdog of the nuclear agreement which is the i.a.e.a. the international atomic energy agency they have issued ten reports that are saying iran is fulfilling its commitments so there shouldn't really be

a question about this i think so how is iran reacted to that presentation. for now rather quietly i think deputy foreign minister he has basically ridiculed the statements of benjamin netanyahu of last night that was to be expected that there are no real serious reactions to that and that they are belittling his presentation so that shrugging it off at the moment was is the power point presentation that to unfolded yesterday mr netanyahu was collin powell moment that moment a former secretary of state that is notorious and widely discredited presentation to the u.n. in the run up to the second iraq war. well there's been a yellow didn't really call for a military invasion of iran but the danger here is that this approach to to kill them a clear evil or at least to to bring to bring it at risk to sleep can leads to have to have through her escalation in what we're already seeing in syria so that if you

cut off any form of diplomatic channels you basically destroy a molten actually written agreement that has to do with nonproliferation this can lead up to war and the analogy i think is a fair one but we also have to see the differences they are quite distinct there seems to be growing rivalry between israel and iran how high are tensions is there a threat of imminent conflict or is this all rhetoric. well i think obviously we are already seeing some form of actual confrontation in the syrian theater and it can escalate further there is always the chance of unintended. incidents here and there investor danger of it but i think for the moment we are still seeing mainly a war of words all right a war of words so that's unfolding on the international stage and now you already alluded to it syria iran iranian influence is growing considerably in the mideast it's increasing our ground presence is cause of concern not just for the israelis

but the gulf states are also wary of tehran's intentions do they have reason to be worried. i think the main issue here is that for the uranium regional strategy this is about deterrence and defense on the ground outside of tehran this is obviously not seen as such but rather as aggressive expansion now a list people are mature enough to sit together to speak about security concerns this spiral of actors are a lot of accusations will continue and we will unfortunately see further diplomatic standoff that as we have seen for example also between iran and saudi arabia and then talk about how they iran expert thank you for your pleasure well as the u.s. potentially considers leaving the iran nuclear deal it's weighing whether to negotiate a nuclear deal with north korea but before it gets so that confidence building measures have been taking place with between the north and south korea they have begun taking concrete steps to improve relations as outlined at

a summit between the two countries leaders last week seoul has asked the united nations to oversee the masa bawling of a nuclear test site used by pyongyang both sides meanwhile have started taking down speakers that blare propaganda across the border is a first step that could signal a longterm thaw on the divided peninsula. for years south korean loudspeakers have blasted propaganda and pop music at north korean border regions now they are being permanently removed north korea is reportedly doing the same with their own south facing speakers. since two thousand and fifteen the clocks of north and south korea were out of sync by half an hour after north korea created its own time zone later this week the north will reset its clocks to match seoul time according to a government decree these measures of reconciliation are the first signs that last week's into korean summit was more than just words.

in the coming weeks the into korean border could again become the side of historic talks u.s. president donald trump suggested the so-called peace house as a possible location to meet with north korean leader kim jong il. there's something that i like about it because you're there you're actually there where if things work out there's a great celebration to be had on the site not in a third party country i will say this the good news everybody wants us it has the chance to be a big event. it is likely that trump will not offer kim any concessions unless kim agrees to dismantle north korea's nuclear weapons arsenal while disarmament remains a distant goal kim has already promised to scrap his country's main nuclear test site. south korea ever skeptical of north korea's promises has asked the united nations to oversee the shutdown. president moon said the u.n.

support would be important not only for the improvement of into korean relations but also for the success of the upcoming us north korea summit. the first steps toward peace on the korean peninsula have been significant but largely symbolic the real work of ending seven decades of hostilities is still ahead. well be right back . time for. a little book that we came a global manifesto activist stefan incentive to address the injustices in modern society. and became a hero of the younger generation. time for our great.

on wednesday. by in munich face an uphill battle tonight they're up against real madrid in the second leg of their champions league semifinal we all won the first leg and go into the game as clear favorites but their coach isn't letting that get to his head. byan me to turn this tie on its head star players fail to dazzle in the first leg and now ray out of the home advantage still even just put three past them here in the quarter final and hikers is heartened by the memory. not really because that game showed that madrid are vulnerable at home and that they aren't as solid as they look. years and i'm sure but right now did make it through against you venters as they did in the quarter final last year i get inspired as though there is a big difference this time around. why wasn't the coach back then and on tuesday it

will be a different team than the one which played last year. the opponents however the same their stars talent and their coaches confidence also remain unchanged. oh look at the new most important thing for us is to think about winning the match and nothing else. to come onto the pitch and to win the match you that's our goal you not to speculate not to overthink not to step back or do strange things down does have the upper hand but he knows not to underestimate his opposition. by and will not be worried at all and will come to play a great match they're a great club and a great team and we're aware of that when he's the most. certainly high praise but buyer now face the difficult task of living up to their opponents' expectations. already the pavo for the alias is also real madrid stadium follow a tough assignment but somebody has got to do it and the game kicks off in just

a few minutes how confident are madrid fans of reaching the final. while they're at st louis. this is. very very good to say that for any the city keeps saying great season has been the best to domestic anything this. on weaving to barcelona if you like me were firm the winners did several days ago on the boards they did the pope would be helpful in their role and here i was thinking of the you know most that this is over eighty i didn't see it in the sun you know me let me go behind me they came to welcome their team or to the national mall the day dearest thing and using germany to the land to get funds from all over thank let me go on making sure that they're here to take me only keep street just let's not forget the ground we greet them are chasing their thirteen european cup final on their third in the row in which i think we have to explain of course to make three seven point six all right pablo the audio is not optimal but i hope we can do

something about that meanwhile by last at home but they still have a chance what are their fans saying about the game the game sorry. well spoken to thank you bar in munich on food probably hear and read you want to do with spain they believe that they have a very good chance of winning here and you know a bit of a lot like i would say round three g. and form i don't know if it will not be back wait let's look at the mind gets it's chasing ask a triple forward why aren't you make it still one of his last because he's going to be even looks coach in the summer i know it's supposed to essentially you know like they're on fights that's also forgets that every of the three make it through to the semifinal stage with the use of force using the five right in your last game and so many fans feel like they can i think we can i can hear it it's going to be

reviewed excited here people. i think to see what the rams and they. just got around. this test thank you so much focus. in madrid. and our next story reason bit like the beginning of a spy novel five iranian women dressed. to see their disguise fake beards wigs and men's clothes but there's a twist to the story the women in question aren't out to steal government secrets or oversaw an enemy state actually they're after something much more innocent cardle our social media desk is here with me for more connor i ravel this mystery for us ok so this mystery also goes into a soccer stadium but not in spain this time this one is in tehran in the capital of iran and it also involves the powerhouse soccer club of that country they're called persepolis and let's go inside the stadium to get kind of a feeling for what this match was like or for the excitement for that match now

this is a pre-game series of videos here you can see this guy chanting and cheering this was the team's chance to win it's eleven straight national championship never got to ring here and they actually did go how did you do that so it's just an unbelievable streak the fans knew it they were excited for it they could smell blood here you can see another guy clapping cheering with face paint on in the background now here's the twist none of these guys are actually guys they are when an industry and if you don't believe it because it was very realistic looking here's the evidence here's one of the guys we just saw in the video check out that beard then while la this is the woman who actually went into the stadium here's another example i can't get over this beard it's like hollywood magic looks totally realistic but this is what the iranian woman looks like in real life now why did they do this it was because they couldn't enter the stadiums or the stadium as well and because the iranian authorities religious authorities say that that is not

a place for respectable iranian women right now for the love of the game they go the lengths that these fans go through and really awestruck because especially when you consider that this could have been quite dangerous for these women to do and then to post it on social media where people now know who they are. exactly i think it's important to note that this these videos weren't leaked they didn't accidently end up on the web these women posted them there intentionally and they even posted some follow up messages to kind of clarify what they wanted to do and what they're hoping for let me show you one of those messages from one of the women who was inside the stadium here we've translated it for you she says i want to enjoy being a woman i don't want to enter stadiums as a cross dresser i have the right to visit all stadiums in my country and she goes on to say that the president rouhani actually had promised that women would be allowed to go to these stadiums and they would be great if he could kind of follow through on that promise and change things now again

a dangerous act by these women but it does kind of come in the midst of changing attitudes in iran this is a video that went viral a couple of months ago you can see this woman there she's trying to get inside a soccer stadium she's standing on one man's shoulders another guy helps her up there now she's on the edge so she can see the field this went viral because people loved it people loved that these men were helping her and they loved that this kind of sneaky woman actually got in one last thing to show you here this is from a soccer star in iran and he says i think if the ban was lifted we would have to build a stadium that could hold two hundred thousand spectators because we'll see the flood of passion from our lady so he supports it there are a lot of people in iran who are very excited about this possibility it's just a question of whether the religious authorities and the laws could kind of catch up stop indeed tell us. about the timing of this. it's probably not a coincidence that this is coming you know right before the world cup and in fact about a month ago thirty five women were detained because they tried to enter

a stadium that sitting inside the stadium was the president of so i think they did that intentionally they were trying to provoke a reaction from feet some people are saying why isn't fifo reacting because if you take a look at the organizations statutes it is very very crystal clear where they should stand on this issue they say discrimination of any kind against and you can see on the right their gender is strictly prohibited and punishable by suspension or expulsion so lot of people hoping that fifi with the power will leverage its power and threaten the country with suspension or expulsion so that women can go into the stadium looking like women. thank you. i. am nigerian gambling industry has seen a huge boom in recent years and one of the most popular games is lotto there's a growing addiction among people who can barely afford it is more.

garrion buyers. book area also taxes all the cars which tend to be more polluting lower the new ones. like i can sum it up like this first the price of a diesel car is much better diesels are also more economical and as a whole the taxation system motivates you to make such a purchase this thing we. can look up. look at areas to poorest member of do you so cost is often a major factor for prospective car buyers analysts say the pen european approach is needed to tackle in a pollution. well staying with the environment and the e.u. if we want to eat a fresh fish straight from the sea in the future some things are going to have to change in experts say three courses a fish stocks in european union walked to a big over fish and that sparked strict quotas which are great for the fish but bad

news for the local fisherman. it's nearly six in the morning and the sun is rising over the western baltic sea fisherman and chris look and his colleagues have been on the water for three hours they barely notice the sky instead they're busy heaving nets full of herring up on board it's back breaking work because main fishing ground is the bay of graph spot the herring returned here in the spring to spawn. here again of course we're going to leave this cat's area now because the herring have finished boning we can see from the dirty anchor that their work here is done the area is full of roll and built. so look ahead to ten minutes further east to cast his nets out the european union has lowered this year's catch quota by thirty nine percent that means that fishermen will earn over a third less income from their core business today look good has caught around two

tons of herring that's around nine hundred euros in revenue he's almost reached his seventy ton limit so he can only fish for herring one more time this year. for most of my knowledge before i would have to return to the old colt all one hundred seventy tons to be able to earn enough decent income we're pushing everything to the limit or paint the bolt and clean it and the water will go only what's absolutely essential we have to save where we can to try and balance the books. that he will not intervene. but there's little chance of raising catch limits for herring right now in fact the tuna an institute for baltic fishing is considering further curtailments instead temperatures are rising in the baltic making life tough for the fish. until the mid one nine hundred ninety is reproduction rates were very good but since then there's been a continual decline the only factor involved is water temperature which is

affecting various areas. but unless limits increase litka and his fellow fisherman will have to hang up their nets soon they'll be no point catching herring they'll shut up shop like a thousand others in the region before them. journeys ruhr valley was once the nation's economic powerhouse thanks to its huge coal mining industry but by the one nine hundred seventy s. coal was in sharp decline in the cyrix the end of heart coal mining in germany while a new exhibit in the western city of essen inside what was once europe's largest coal mine looks back on the history of this area of this area and karen how sad from our culture desk is here to tell one of the fitting way to mark international workers day is narrow interests in coal black. so tell us about what do we see ok so this is called the age of coal

a european history so it's not only showing how and where the cole was actually mind here in germany and but there we're talking obviously about hard black coal you know that high quality anthracite but it also gives you that an amazing overview of just how central coal was to the industrial revolution as a whole and so many things depended on coal and it was of course a major driver of germany's postwar economy for many decades. and just to give an idea you know in the mid fifty's germany counted about one hundred twenty eight coal mines by the late seventy's that had already twenty down to about twenty one as the transition to go and natural gas was was well underway and the last one will be closing its doors this year and that's the cue for this for this exhibition so let's have a quick look at it before we talk for the. coal once moved along here today it's business is writing a cable come to an exhibition. they land in a primate both far east this is what the rule region in western germany looked like

some three hundred million years ago. ideal conditions for cold its presence would shake the area. to cool if it's through call that the roar region has been turned into a metropolis the people came for the coal coal had to be mined thousands upon thousands of people have come here in the rural area is a product of coal. the exhibition the age of coal is taking place in the old sulphur and coal mining complex here in huge rooms where called was one sort of visitors can experience two hundred years of european mining history in the early days of the work was hard and very dangerous thousands of miners died but coal also changed people's lives its use was central to progress all over europe like here in england the first street lamps were fueled by gas made from coca production and coal has literally made our lives more colorful. made the world more

colorful it's brought color into everyday life because synthetic colors can be made from the by products of coal processing. within ten years there are more than ten thousand different shades of color made one of the best known by products of coal is called taso which ironically minus swore by to wash off the black stuff isn't it if it synthetic fats among other things are in soap so this leads to soaps being made from synthetic fat in the town of it and the crazy thing is that the miners who were black from top to bottom from coal used called in the form of fat in the so good to washing clean themselves the. least popular though was made of coal which during world war two some nazis thought might be a good idea. the exhibition the age of coal is filled with unusual insights from an industry that's left a huge mark on europe. and before we discuss.

marjorie it's amazing going to. you know if i look that up and there's a guy called arthur in the hollows and with a prominent chemist back in the tour in the early twentieth century he was really instrumental in developing the soap that was talked about as well but he also was famous for creating a margarine derived from paraffin sludge so not very edible yes not very appetizing obviously but it fit right into sort of the self-sufficiency policies of the nazis at the time but luckily for us you know longer they're still oil. thankfully now it's difficult to overstate the importance of coal for the german economy. but there is a dark side to coal that's why they're phasing it out very nice it out yes very much so and managing the environmental damage that these mines have caused is is a task that is going to go on for absolutely forever and needless to say the air pollution in the area in the rural valley has improved considerably since shutting

down most of these mines but it was also as we saw there you know very dangerous obviously for the workers at the time not only in terms of their health and their lungs for instance but also because of the frequent explosions in the conditions in the early mines now that of course led to some didn't revolutionary technology developed developments that we can talk about one of them was called the it's an emergency evacuation device called the dolly bush bomb so this is a cylinder tokio shape that was used to transport trapped miners back to safety through drilled bore hole that was developed and gave them kill used quite widely later on and many of the pieces in this exhibition have these incredible back stories and of course mining was something that the coal mining actually really had a huge influence on on european politics because of labor issues like of course of the european union i believe started out very much started out as it is a cold community but there brings me to the next shutting down those crucial all

important industry that must have meant a huge. transition for the ruhr our world yes i mean it meant for some very very tough times obviously in the late seventy's and it has to be said i mean unemployment is still a new issue in the region but the ruhr valley area has done an incredible job of really. capitalizing on its industrial legacies so in two thousand and one that's why if i recall my industrial complex that we're talking about in essence was named a unesco world heritage site and a lot of those decommissioned mines and buildings smokestacks blast furnaces and the like have been restored and amazingly repurposed eyes cultural spaces now what happened then of course in two thousand and two was the founding of the ruhr tree of knowledge which is an annual music and arts festival that runs from august community october that makes really great use of a lot of these locations in both home and in s.

and that's why if i'm complex attracts terrific events and a lot of international stars and of course in two thousand and ten the rural valley itself was actually made a european capital of culture so that did a lot to really polish our business image. and there's it's ongoing all right now it's more on our website i salute you detailing dot com slash culture nonstop thank you so very much and thank you for spending this part of your day with us so i'll see you again tomorrow same time same place have a good writer. good
