this is news coming to you live. from chief executive to chief suspect us prosecutors. are calling for his part in the company. they say he knew about the cheating and went along with the. also coming up. test at the polls for early results show british voters have spare the prime ministers conservative party. local government election. and a special report from cameron interruption of english speaking parts of the country

seeking to break away from the central government. the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of karl moore he's one of the most divisive thinkers in modern history we'll head out to the streets of berlin to see what people today make of the. show of sporting solidarity teams from the two koreas. at the world table tennis championships with a display rich in political symbolism. hello i'm terry martin and welcome to the program it's the scandal that just refuses to go away u.s. prosecutors have charged former c.e.o. . for his part in diesel gate they say he conspired to mislead regulators and

the u.s. clean air act a federal grand jury in michigan indicted as part of a probe into the scandal which has plagued the company for nearly three years. the seventy year old former executive of one of germany's best known and most successful companies faces up to twenty five years in prison and a fine of two hundred seventy five thousand dollars one of the four counts charges of intercourse with conspiring with other senior b.w. executives and employees to defraud the united states and v.w. customers and with violating the clean air act by making false representation the three other counts alleged wire fraud in connection with the scheme w.'s wall street correspondent quarter said the court's indictment was unprecedented i'm working on wall street for about twenty years and i've never seen a dead sea or former c.e.o. of a company the size of wagner has faced similar charges and that said it is not unusual

that u.s. prosecutors start and then work their way up the rings last year to former managers have been sentenced to prison terms here in the u.s. and probably they have helped to form the case against martin been to court in september twenty fifth u.s. regulators revealed their suspicions that software imbedded in v.w. diesel cars meant they could detect when an emissions test was being done the programming would then lower the cars emissions to meet the clean air standards vigil corn resigned as chief executive shortly afterwards saying he had been unaware of any wrongdoing but the indictment says vinter cohen was briefed on the issue at a meeting at the company's headquarters in july during that meeting engine development employees described how v.w.

was deceiving us regulators including precisely what information had been disclosed and what had not yet been disclosed they also spelled out the potential consequences of being caught. well for more on the story i'm joined by. punishing bello both from the w. business should one of us are with you what more can you tell us about these charges against martin ventricle well he has been indicted that means there is probably hard evidence or some evidence showing that he did know of the emissions cheating software on those vehicles in the u.s. and in other parts of the world so this is a bad thing because obviously for valve it is about thing for v.w. because obviously it shows that someone in the top management was well aware of what was going on and what we know the u.s. authorities are indicting him so there's definitely evidence there they do say that

they communicated in twenty fourteen. of the discrepancy between the tests in the labs and tests on the vehicles you know in real environments showing you know those a big difference between the levels of emissions. in those two environments and that's what the point is here so he knew possibly as of twenty fourteen and he has said that he didn't know so he may have lied so u.s. justice officials feel they have enough evidence now to actually indict him so they see they think at least they have a strong case at the heart of this indictment is that top management of the w. was in on the scam all the way up to the chief executive officer mentor cohen is this a development really anything of a surprise no i don't think it is if you just look at just two facts how likely is it that some person in middle management takes this kind of risk to so that the buck will stop at him. and just to protect the very top of the

company i think that's highly unlikely to take these decisions without getting some insurance from that from the very top that it will be ok and these targets of course set by the very top management and they're conscious say that you know you do that i don't want to know how you going to chief that so it's highly unlikely that binnacle wasn't out of the secondly even to call on with v.w. for twenty plus years he was the head of quality control quality management he has a degree in metal physics so he he knows his stuff and he knows. pretty sure that he's one of those guys who really wants to go go down to the details to find out how things are done i think it's highly unlikely that a man with his biography and his proper fashionable elephant in the company for so long and quality control did not know what was going on in front of v.w. has already paid billions in penalties and. nation to consumers they were really

put on the to the wall in the u.s. particularly by the legal system they have into a corner resigned right after diesel gate what does this indictment mean for venter corn now well we won't be probably seeing him in a u.s. prison because germany doesn't extradite citizens to naani you countries it's an it's highly unlikely he'll be traveling to a lot of other countries while those indictment charges are still pending he will be traveling very much because obviously there's a bit of fear that he might end up being extradited to the u.s. when he goes to specific places what it means though is that his reputation is tarnished he has a pending lawsuits also in germany and that might give more evidence for people in those lawsuits saying that he did actually know there's a lawsuit by shareholders against. its top management saying that they were well aware of it so they want money as well on top of that so that might be something

that might happen here in germany so that other low suits against winterkorn that we may see being helped by that u.s. and i and it is probably a pretty good bet that nothing but a cold be taking any vacations in the u.s. . the timing of this is interesting this indictment coming from the u.s. it's happening right when v.w. is holding its annual shareholders meeting you know that was yesterday and the new c.e.o. have a decent gave his first speech that facing. a quite displeased crowd of investors as you can imagine if you look at the share price what has happened to the share price after these look at stand a scandal that has really recovered we sent our report of all of that to follow events and here's his report. greenpeace activists protest outside v.w. the annual general meeting they're calling for climate friendly vehicles clean up

reach this banner and they need the corporate culture as well inside as ever high performance models are on show including hybrids and electric vehicles to diesel great prices is still not completely out of sight and some shareholders remain skeptical. concern leap from the company needs its loyal customers if they go you may as well forget about the business altogether. you have to go for the call definitely yes if sales are good the dividends will be as well we tried v w two when it comes to decision making at the company the portion piece families have their say as well as the v.w. workers can slam the state of lower saxony they all have high hopes for him but they may toss in april and he wants to change the corporate culture. in these parts that must become more honest more openness in a word more truthful and so that we don't make ourselves more vulnerable again.

he says putting his foot on the gas when it comes to restructuring and electric vehicles. these has brought the brand forward which his previous essers didn't do. he's a breath of fresh air. is not from the old v.w. school so hopefully she will not be tempted by the diesel issue. from the diesel to martinique and that's a view most small investors seem to share the newly appointed v.w. boss start his job with a vote of confidence. the scandal that just keeps going on in all in all in the scandal in the u.s. the forward chief executive. now formally indicted on criminal charges. pundits and bellew from a d w business i'm sure you'll be talking about this a lot more in the days and weeks to come and course we'll be hearing more on this

from you just a little later in the program we'll be going back to business thanks. now let's look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today the swedish academy is set to announce whether it will take the rare step of postponing this year's nobel prize for literature the institution is in crisis over its handling of sexual assault allegations against the husband of one of its members a scandal has seen a string of board members leave in recent weeks film director roman polanski has been expelled from the academy of motion our picture arts and sciences for decades after he admitted to unlawful sex with a thirteen year old girl the organization that awards the oscars also photo to oust comedian bill cosby convicted of we could go on three counts of aggravated indecent assault. and the social media site twitter has urged its more than three hundred million users to change their passwords company says it recently found a bug it calls some passwords to be stored in plain text rather than being

encrypted it says there is no indication that passwords have been misused and that it's advice was purely precautionary. in the first test of public opinion after last year's general election voters in britain appear to have spared prime minister theresa may the wipe out some had predicted early results from local elections indicate her conservative party lost control of some key councils but managed to gain ground in breaks at supporting regions the vote comes after a turbulent week for may who's had to deal with a high profile resignation and the threat of a possible revolt in parliament by hard line breaks the tiers jeremy corbin's labor party looks to have done well in london but on all results are yet to be to hurt. more on the story let's cross over to our correspondent in london big bear good it looks like voters in britain are pretty much going with the status quo is theresa

may breathing a sigh of relief this morning. she will be breathing a big sigh of relief it could have been much much worse we don't know all the results yet and also you have to bear in mind that local elections often on other issues other than you know big international politics on potholes bike lanes they greely local issues of course we would like to look at the big picture and what we can see is that the conservatives definitely have done better than they would have hoped for labor really hasn't done as well as they had hoped and some winners the live dems they have increased their share of councils the the pro e.u. party that has really been out in the cold first couple years after they were in coalition so they have gained and then one really really big picture is you can have the u.k. independence party who fought for britain to leave the e.u.

they have all but collapsed they really lost almost all the control of all the counts lost almost all the seats that they've ever had so they're the big losers of this local election hanging over all of this is the big is the big cloud of bragg's of course understand the country is basically divided on the question what do these elections tell us anything about the public mood in britain in relation to. well of course this is what we'll be looking at and it is interesting i think really what we can see is that labor's position on bret's it which in my view has been more or less wishy washy than not really fighting for britain to leave the u. but they're somehow seeming to go along with government policy then they're making their own amendments their own little caveats but they haven't really come out with a clear position and i think this is the reason why they haven't been doing much

better than that hopeful because these are elections in the bigger cities this were lay where there are many people that voted to stay in the e.u. and also law most babe of eight or so they have been really much much better and the government really hasn't made a very good figure in the last week and months really to reason may has lost many ministers their own party is divided over breaks it isn't really a clear way forward so labor clearly failed to capitalize on the not very good performance of the government forget thanks. there in london west african country of cameroon is currently in the grip of a by what secession is a crisis and surgeons in the west of the country have lost the series of attacks on security forces after the government their crackdown on a peaceful protest movement the conflict is centered on the english speaking area

of western cameroon highlighted here in yellow many in the region want greater autonomy from the french speaking majority in the country our west africa correspondent adrian creech reports. oh one who. is over ninety years old even though one there's a lot she can't remember anymore but she'll never forget one day last year. the pain is a constant reminder. someone knocked on the door i said his that and a vindictive bitch it was the police and they hit me right in the face in the look on the bush. there was blood everywhere i just didn't stop bleeding. heart. thousands of people in their hometown with taking part in peaceful protests

at the time they feel let down somewhere calling for their own state to be called amazonia government troops responded with while lens. was one of the victims there's growing unrest in the region and some of the protesters have since joined pro independence groups but no one wants to speak about it openly. they went to the bush because they are fighting for their rights what they are asking for is something they deserve if the government can grant what they are asking for it will be better for all of us southern cameroonians then we won't be neglected the way the government has been neglecting us. so we need a well connected independence activist who wants to remain anonymous there are six rebel groups in the forests fighting against government's troops he shows us their training video. paul be president for the last thirty five years has sold out the protests he says that's why the conflict is

now escalating. it is the only option because the people believe that it is through these means that they can force the president into dialogue what they're doing now is simply defending themselves they did not start the file and. almost every week separatists launch deadly attacks on government officials they accuse of betrayal the bishop of war yet many see the church as a possible mediator in the crisis. but in this circumstance is very difficult because. because they give conditions for talking to the problem. and. talking to. a person must be the same

with. the government refuses to speak with the separatists despite several requests given an interview with the government representatives. presidential elections in cameroon are schedules to be hold in october this year but many people in the anglo phone region in particular those in rural areas i wondering how this will be possible this. any indication that the situation will be improving in the next month. all the same. hopes that peace will return to the region at her age she says she should not have to be afraid of the police and especially not in her own home. the u.s. has set a top level delegation to china to try to burchinal out trade war between the two biggest economies in the world it's mainly about tariffs but washington also accuses beijing of systematically infringing copyright that's true and because

product piracy is a big issue on that agenda and it's the bane of every brand across the world it stretches over all sorts of industries pirates not only in china by the way copy clothes watches glasses and even smart phones complicated machinery and engineering and to sell them cheaply often on dark gentles and sometimes even very openly the differences are barely noticeable to the naked eye colors and the logo look real even the weight is manipulated to give the fake just the right feel it's a huge problem in spite of sophisticated prevention strategies the most recent survey by a german industry association revealed that almost three quarters of old german machine builders for example are affected by a product and the brand piracy the damage to the german economy alone is as they made it to be around seven point three billion euros that's per year and that's just the lost revenue the possible damage to the brand image is incalculable china

is the worst patent abuse a new technology is making faking easier all the time thanks to three d. printers humming away in gigantic clone workshops not just components can be copied but in time machines but more and more industries are fighting back porcelain from the french. city of limoges for example is one of the finest the most expensive in the world which makes it an appealing choice for counterfeiters to make a quick copy and bring in a quick bark but now the most porcelain makers have succeeded in getting their famous porcelain protected. to plate said to be made from famous limos porcelain but only one is real the plate on the left the one on the right is a fake it's a problem limoges manufacturers have been grappling with for years world leaders and royalty may die on the white gold as it's known but the famous brand is up

against some clever fraudsters. manufacturers from asia africa and central europe simply use the name limos but many of the fakes are identifiable they rightly motion without an s. or say paste from limo she only most from china is really worth a try. but this is now all in the past because limoges porcelain is now protected only those who produce here and respect the traditional methods of production are allowed to bear the name of the evil and worse for we don't have robots limos represents real craftsmanship people who know exactly what they're doing. we're in one of the oldest porcelain factories in the city this powder has been processed here since eighteen twenty five porcelain in its original form it can be used as a thick mass for kneading or cast in liquid form. the piece is made here and finished by hand polished and dipped into an enamel bath before going into the kiln

the result. of porcelain. the special feature of this porcelain is its transparency. and only flawless pieces passed stringent quality control they moaned is the most feared woman in the factory her job is to inspect the pieces and she misses nothing in fact thirty to fifty percent don't make it the porcelain french reason emotion became world renowned for a reason and it's no coincidence that the white gold has now been protected making life that little bit harder for counterfeiters. speaking of fakes scientists in the u.k. have developed a technique to create real diamonds in the lab and in many cases they're even purer than natural gems but that has implications for the most important security assets for investors around the world. what is a diamond ask

a scientist and i'll tell you it's carbon in its purest form ask the advertising world and they'll say it's a girl's best friend but until recently most would have agreed that the precious jewel is something you have to dig deep to find now a lot then london is using new technology to turn that assumption on its head it's actually mt nature i mean right with the fighting and doing it better than nature so for me there are those emotional things that to this enormous accomplishments a great material that their tradition has been very difficult to grow. grown diamonds are produced by ceasing methane and hydrogen to super high temperatures the result is often purer than the gems found in nature but does the difference master to those in the market for a diamond ring i suspect will be like newest off baby would like so much that for us it's the history i think it's just the if you don't have something as cameras as

a diamond you have to have the real thing so it takes this fourteen thousand dollar machine to distinguish between natural stones and those grown in the lab. and you and i might not be able to tell it apart from the real thing the fact that dilute the site doesn't make them the same thing one has enormous monetary value of this fully and emotional value the other one is a replica replica or no analysts believe not made gems could account for over seven percent of the global diamond market by twenty twenty that's all your business now it's a remarkable sign of thawing relations between north and south korea that's right extraordinary developments there extending well the on formal diplomacy ping pong teams from north and south korea were due to face off at the world table tennis championships in sweden what transpired instead was something very special.

thank you. they will count as two separate korean teams each vying for a place in the world championship semifinals this is a special time for north south relations and after the purse for pace from that leaders last week it was time for politics to meet ping pong very very big. very very. very. big. media how did you ever go to sleep you know. i think you. know you. think of a historic moment and paps the first in the history of international sports i mean

tournament's much asked. for and i wondered if we could make a joint team and whether i could join the team and now it has really happened and i feel very proud that i did not want to go. to that because it's a great honor at the time i can be part of the joint team which will become part of history that all thanks ornaments organizers heralded the move even if it wasn't quite in keeping with the rulebook we installed all the teams and they agree it so if they will not agree we will not do it. so we've we all feel i think very happy that we have a small side in the process for a reunion of korea keeps all of korea as both countries. to fingers for peace pats even a v for victory in one nine hundred ninety one a unified korean team played in this tournament from the start and they won it shocking defending champions china in the final history is a mess ice. you're watching news still to come speaking of

when robie and her friends agreed on peace but an assassin put an end to that train . to return news goes to the displaced people still funding for the home loans israel seventeen years may twelfth on t.w. all broadcast times online. welcome back with the w. news i'm sorry martin our top stories prosecutors in the u.s. have charged the former c.e.o. of volkswagen. for his part in the company's false because of the machines data prosecutors say he was aware of that the company was cheating on diesel emissions tests and was complicit in the scale. and early results from britain's local elections show prime minister theresa may appears to have avoided the trial saying some had predicted her. conservative party has lost control of some key councils

but gained ground in breaks it supported reaching. this saturday marks the two hundredth birthday of perhaps the most divisive thinker of modern history this man called mox he argued that capitalism would only make the rich richer and the poor poorer today some view him as a visionary others revile him for inspiring authoritarian communist regimes that killed millions a reporter on your show off and off hit the streets of berlin to find out what people here think. marx's ideas bought revolutions those ideas originated here in berlin and they continue to resonate in the city. in eight hundred thirty six the eighteen year old car marks came to study at berlin's humboldt university. he started studying law but soon found he was far

more interested in philosophy and history a quote in the entrance hall of the university press tribute to its former student . marks wrote the philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways the point however is to change it mocks didn't just want to theorize about the state of the world he wanted to do something about it he wanted to shake things up . was the tone of the industrial age and while in berlin marx witnessed the plight of poor workers. it was their cause that marx took up his theories of eliminating social injustice by empowering workers started revolutions and changed the map of the world. his ideology was the basis for modern communism and socialism the defining philosophies of the cold war which ended up dividing the world and this city. in former east berlin a launch of

a new still bears marx's name the boulevard was built as a propaganda project by the socialist regime by the workers for the workers. the last military parade to celebrate the achievements of the self-styled workers and peasants state was held here just a month before the berlin wall fell. but what does maag still mean to people here that the w.c. had a kind of different idea of how society should work that it all off was he wrote a lot of. good stuff capital for example which is still valid today this is i started reading the communist manifesto but you've got to have quite a bit of concentration for them do you know this man. he was a great thinker in this time of course unfortunately things didn't quite turn out the way he predicted always because see invoiced is. under way to book

definitely good. things that's really just as worthy of discussion today. especially now considering the split in society between rich and poor because of his use by them through. communism as a political system in germany poland with a ballot but for some of the people here. is not of their relevance. for more about the legacy of marx i'm joined here in the studio by professor young topple russkies from the so as university of london thanks for being with us professor that marx was a prolific writer of course during his lifetime if he were alive today what do you think he would be writing about. certainly he would be writing about developments in europe but i think beyond this. i think you would be right with

much greater insight on china the rise of china because this was something that was to a great extent on the margins all for his interests. when he was writing in the in the nineteenth century and in fact he was on the molecules of history time and second the i think homeless in america this is this isn't it on which he she how do you prove anything he wrote about the united states but not much about latin america so he would be rushmore i think these areas for the refer and i think that would change some of his ideas of course marx was born two hundred years ago he had no idea what what was coming down the tubes the historical tubes as it were particularly in china and elsewhere how much impact he would have some say that recent developments have proved marx right in many ways

they cite the economic crash of two thousand and eight the growing divide between rich and poor many say do you think that marx was right in his analysis of capitalism. he he was he was certainly right in the his belief that marxism is so that capitalism is fundamentally divisive it does create divisions between those who benefit and. this are exploited. in capitalism and this gives rise to various delusions among those who benefit from. from capitalism so i think in this respect. he was right and then his all the great idea i think is that. capitalism is not the end of history. there

is. capitalism will evolve now he had this idea that it would evolve into socialism and then communism we. ate and this is an optimistic. view but it it's certainly evolving something will come out of it and it won't be capitalism where do you think marx didn't get it right where was he flawed in is analysis. very very difficult to tell because he. so much of his analysis was provisional all he changed his view changed. his approach i think the way he will he wasn't right was in believing that nineteenth century capitalism was the high

point of. companies and the it was already in his lifetime exhausting its possibilities. and i think as as we can see. as happened in the twentieth century capitalism evolved as actually it did change and. those changes we need to do we need to understand. the communist manifesto which marx wrote together with a fleeting as it states that communism can achieve its ans and i quote only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions did marx really see no alternative to violence. no i do. not necessarily but i think that he. he was he saw

that capitalism has not established itself brutally. with considerable force for. pre-capitalist. social groups for pre-capitalist social arrangements and he thought that something like this was inevitable. and. to a great extent i think. he's correct we is he had of phrase that revolution happens when it's no longer possible to do things in the old way it's this. it's the fact it's when we get to the point that we can no longer carry on in the old ways that we start to change first thank you so much for talking with us today young tom prof ski from lee so as university of london on the occasion of karl marx's two hundred the two others and

a verse or call mark as birth thanks again thank you very much. now to lebanon where people will be casting their ballots over the weekend in the country's first parliamentary election in nearly a decade lebanon's political landscape is a patchwork of groups and religions vying for power one especially influential group is hezbollah and is the most political and militant group financed by iran hezbollah forces are also fighting in lebanon as a neighbor syria they're backing the regime of president bashar al assad against rebel groups supported by gulf arab states especially saudi arabia of those killed in the fighting are revered as heroes back home we met with one in mourning. in a small village an hour south of beirut a family mourns the loss of a son and brother. has been a militant heidar died fighting sunni extremists in syria.

his father believes his son died an honorable death. as a shiite haidar died fighting the rise of sunni terrorism in the region. the whole year clark atlanta if he hadn't gone to syria to fight they would have killed us all you know there are all our families and relatives all of us i mean we all would have died. i mean these people don't make distinctions but they're ruthless. but. also. in the eyes of his siblings haidar is a hero they cannot understand why the west has labeled hezbollah a terrorist organization. after all they say their brother was merely defending his culture. for the markets out of his war goes far beyond national borders

this war is about protecting our culture our faith and our ideas. of god. so far lebanese shiite families have paid a high price in the syrian conflict. since it began many have lost relatives who headed there to fight on behalf of hezbollah. thass mohammed and his son haidar used to work together making advertising banners haidar died nearly four years ago now his family wants to honor him and remind others of the dangers posed to shiite hezbollah by its sunni enemies. had merely. tried to dominate us. they've surrounded us and want to cut us off from syria but syria is essential for our survival and our going there to fight has meant they

haven't been able to sever that lifeline and. the home of hezbollah is also a nation of martyrs banners hang everywhere here remembering those who have died in battle including those killed in syria and in the two thousand and six conflict with israel. some also depict hezbollah's leader hassan nasrallah the militant group was set up after the israeli invasion of law. and in one thousand nine hundred two a museum in the south of the country illustrates the many conflicts hezbollah has had with its zionist neighbor as it calls israel the last of these was in two thousand and six since then the group has dramatically expanded its arsenal it's now estimated to own more than one hundred thousand missiles ten times more than in two thousand and six including many with

a far greater range of fire them back then. so it. is a professor of politics who knows hezbollah's leader and. he says he has no doubt there will be another war with israel. ever since two thousand and six hezbollah has been preparing for the next battles with. which doesn't mean the hizbollah law will be the one to attack. but. we do defend ourselves as. we have been making sure we are ready. in terms of both personnel and logistics. just. south lebanon is hezbollah a country many the se israel as an eternal aggressor which is why i say many a new conflict is unlikely to be far away. brothers are busy preparing his memorial service it's a common practice among lebanon's shiite population. meanwhile

haidar as parents are looking at photos of their son from his time in syria the memories come flooding back. high dose father is overwhelmed he can't put his feelings into words. it takes a. kid every picture has its own memory and brings a feeling of sadness and pain with it. but it makes you proud that he is a martyr. that he dies a worthy of. note. this is the last photo to be taken of hind in lebanon he's holding his baby sister

in his arms despite the high number of fatalities in the syrian conflict many young men remain determined to become hezbollah fighters one key reason is saudi arabia's early declaration of support for sunni extremists in syria. saudi arabia is trying to shape the region according to its own desires saudi arabia is the leading player behind the restructuring of the whole region's. hind us memorial event gets underway his family is grateful that so many from the village have come along to pay their respects. and his father is now able to express his feelings and we've suffered hugely we've sacrificed ourselves for our nation and i've paid a high price and with. pride and grief to conflict in emotions side by side in one morning.

where we focus again on president trump for months he denied it and the white house backed him up no surprise revelation by trying to turn to judy rudy giuliani that the president was involved in a hush payment stormy daniels raises new legal questions. another day of presidential duties overshadowed by the scandal around porn star stormy daniels and her alleged affair with donald trump. the legal aide rudy giuliani made an unexpected disclosure about a payment of one hundred thirty thousand dollars to daniels and just where it came from that money was not campaign money sorry i'm giving you a fact now that you don't know it's not campaign money no campaign finance violation so they follow the through law for follow through on the president

repeated that contradicting trump's initial denial that team knew anything about the payment you. know. thursday however trump confirmed on twitter that the money was reimbursed to his personal lawyer he wants more tonight the affair saying such agreements were very common among celebrities and people of wealth in a white house briefing on thursday spokeswoman sarah saunders said trump didn't initially know about the payment to stormy daniels and only found out about it later. they are for air president also. their opinion is coming back into fashion among younger europeans that's according to a study of people sixty is not equal support for democracy. whether in berlin paris or london younger people are increasingly developing

a european identity that's the top funding of the study and europe's youth want their home countries to be part of the year. when asked how they would vote in a hypothetical referendum on this issue eighty five percent in spain would vote to stay in the e.u. . eighty percent would do so in germany. and even in breakfast bound u.k. sixty three percent would vote to remain the european average is seventy one percent. i would say we should stay because the e.u. is a good thing and we should work more toward maintaining european cohesion. the e.u. has specifically given a lot to ireland so for me i would definitely be to stay there the study's authors say negative feelings toward encouraging people to identify with the e.u.

. are dissolution from ukip and other parties who are supporting the percocet and we're the discussion was already there during breaks that the old one stole the future from the young. on the whole young europeans also see their future as democratic although not all of the figures are encouraging. for instance on the question whether democracy is the best form of government sixty nine percent of young greeks say yes. in germany that figure is sixty seven percent but in france it doesn't even reach fifty percent and the e.u. average is only fifty eight percent. younger europeans aren't all that susceptible to populism the study found but they'll need a better understanding of democratic systems if support for the e.u. in its current form is to continue.

another big night of european football last night this time in the europa league and max merril from sports is here to take us through it the big clash there max course at that they go against arsenal the scores were level going in to the match how to handle yet when that was all to play for with the aggregate one one and these are really two champions league teams used to playing in the big proper games and european football for them this is a step down and the coaches were at the center of the match diego simeone of the lesser coach he was sent to the stands last week in the first leg so this week that's where he starts is in the in the stands again he had yet to see is team from afar and i hope that they would do what he said venga the other coach he was seeing here it was his last chance at a title with austin before leaving and he had an early blow on cause she only has sense a back rupturing an achilles and diego costa scoring just on the stroke of half time so were able to hold that lead which was enough for them to on the go through

on aggregate and a shame he was very disappointed after the game also really lost the time the first leg when they didn't make use of the numerical advantage after a red card to a plan to go ten minutes in and as i say very very disappointed and we can hear from them just now. i have to recover first from. her but huge disappointment tonight and i'm very very sad to leave the club the reason i takes it. no. it took some time to recover from that and. i mean she what do i do with myself you know future and no plan to move. now the other semifinal match featured less you know less established sides but they were also kind of it was also kind of exciting tell us about it yeah i mean in this case musée took a very definite advantage into the game although these two teams faced each other

the group stage and south spoke drew wants and one wants so it was old to play for even their loss i had the advantage of a two no lead and it was nil nil at half time very cagey affair and in the fifty third minute a solo goal from a man to haidara gave south the lead and an own goal then for must say to nail then must say really could have had a penalty which was denied them the game went into extra time and a goal from rolando which was hugely controversial because it was after a corner which shouldn't have been a corner deep into extra time then gave must say the edge again so it kind of flip flop back and forth between the two must say of the ones who go into the final against a pledge to commit dreads and it's tough as out spoke you say a corner that should have been a corner now we know the video assistant referee says system from the bonus league it might have been helpful here why is this video assistant referee not used in european competition yet many people been asking that question this week in the

champions league semifinals there were several incidents that could have used with a video review in the same again yesterday and souths book and the roma sporting director munchie actually lamented saying that in the champs league the final would have been played between two different teams have there been v.a.r. to be honest it's a very slow process because although v.a.r.'s been used in italy and bundesliga and the bonus they get here in germany very prominently in big leagues in europe it's been far from a smooth transition so many leagues and keen to take the risk it will be at the world cup but not in the champions league or europa league next season very quickly prediction for the final i think it's got to be a blessing in madrid they have the edge flex mare who did have a sport thank you so much. just reminder of the top stories that we're following for you here today. prosecutors in the u.s. have charged the former c.e.o. . for his part in the company's false a case emissions. say he was aware that the company was cheating on diesel
