between rebel forces and government troops has caused a complete breakdown of agriculture health care sanitation and water supplies. the violence has subsided and the displaced are beginning to return home but the recent civil conflict in province has forced hundreds of thousands to the brink of starvation aid workers are fighting an uphill battle to treat malnourished children and prevent the spread of cholera and measles to hospitals that survive the conflict are overwhelmed. by what i saw and what i heard. peter's children were treated for complication of see these children were struggling to survive and they came back to the same tree days later. we didn't treat days. some children

authorize the use of an experimental vaccine against the deadly disease but it has warned that the treatment is complicated and not a magic bullet officials say the immediate risk is that the outbreak could spread to a major city nearby congo has seen eighty bona outbreaks in the past fourteen years . tarik a u.s. or a virtuous pigs for the world health organization he joins us from geneva welcome to d.w. so how serious is the current outbreak all thank you very much every ball is a very serious and has to be dealt with utmost importance evil is a very deadly disease or defect. it can be as high as ninety percent and we have seen in the past what ebola can do to communities so it is of great concern for the world health organization to receive information from the government of the

democratic republic of congo body confirmation off the presence of the virus in the northwestern part of the country so how many people have died so far how many confirmed cases are there. well so far there were two cases that have been confirmed by laboratory analysis and this is despite happened on last tuesday when the government declared the beginning of the outbreak obviously the reports that have been looked at at a later stage show today were cases in that area that did have been reported and some of them died and had symptoms that are consistent with the symptoms of time or educate such as ebola so we are counting thirty to suspect cases it is really important beyond numbers to go get quickly to this area and put in place necessary measures there was the last epidemic i think was in twenty fourteen that was said to be over so why does it keep coming back is this latest outbreak knew or was it never completely eradicated. well this is

a new outbreak we know the device exists in any will the reservoir we know that that's carrying the virus and then ok janelle you did a virus can come directly from bats or true other primates to humans and then human to human transmission starts and that this is when we have a new outbreak so you look at the proposal to congo has a number a sofa outbreak since the virus has been identified in seventy's this is the ninth one on the record last year also there was there was an outbreak and in two thousand and fourteen there was an unrelated outbreak in the republic of congo unrelated to the big you paula outbreak that happen in a west africa but we have seen exactly in west africa what a ball a can do how deadly taze and what damage it can do to communities so that it don is of the essence we need to get to d.c. area quickly with experts and material to be able to understand where the where

device is circulating exactly to isolate those who are sick as them properly to gentrify contacts so those who may have been exposed monitored for twenty one days to make sure sure that the burials are done in a secure way and possibly to use their vaccines if it seems appropriate after doing this epidemiology work we wish you well with that thank you so much for joining us on a bridge from the world health organization kenya's top prosecutor has ordered an investigation into the collapse of a dam on a mob scaled commercial farm in the country's rift valley amid allegations that it was built illegally at least forty five people were killed after the down burst on wednesday night sending a wall of water down hill all forces are still searching for dozens of missing people the farms manager has blamed the collapse on heavy rains but officials say the dam and others on the property a lack the necessary permits was legal. so israel's defense minister has called on

syrian president bashar al assad to egypt iranian forces from his country of indoor lieberman's call came after israeli forces attacked iranian targets in syria in response to attacks on the israeli occupied golan heights believed to have been carried out by iran to her and says the attacks in syria came under fabricated and baseless excuses adding that damascus has the legitimate right to respond to what it called repeated violations of syrian sovereignty. the world is watching nervously as tensions saw between iran and israel and hardliners and tehran doing little to calm nerves leading prayers in the iranian capital a senior cleric threatened israel with destruction. of all that if israel does anything foolish we will raise television high fire to the ground below the barricades for all bonehead meanwhile israel's defense minister called on syria to

expel iranian forces. i have a message to assad get rid of the iranians get rid of their forces. they're not helping you they're only harming. their presence will only cause problems and damage. never on the streets of iran demonstrators chanted slogans against israel and the us iranian state t.v. at these images of banners reading death to america. the protests follow washington's withdrawal from the iran nuclear deal this week. germany's chancellor angela merkel had harsh words on that decision by the u.s. . is the multitude of feel i agree that there are a lot of other worrying issues to talk about when it comes to iran the fight with

israel the ballistic missile program iran's role in syria all correct thoughts and love however i think it is not correct to pull out of a deal that has been agreed on that has been voted for unanimously in the u.n. security council. that violates the trust in the international order. for. iran's foreign ministry has signalled that it's prepared to work with europe to save the nuclear deal. a correspondent. has been following the story from neighboring of beirut well come on show just looking at the context of this escalating dispute the attack on the golan heights was not the first chapter of this story was that you absolutely not in fact of all work you realize israel has attacked stance obliquely iranian assets in syria over a hundred times and in this region israel has also corked of the and the rebel

forces by providing them medical help and also by other means that possible met doctors who treated some of these and yes are the rebels but now it has escalated to a very worrying level because israel itself says that they have hit all of our infrastructure allegedly in-city out what has he done completely not completely denying but is sort of attacking israel back by saying that israel is violating the city and sovereignty it's all rhetoric aside but it's not as rhetoric this time around they're actively that engaged in an active confrontation so that makes things worse so how close would you say the region is to actual war. well it's one as i can tell you that i am an eleven rb tracking developments in iran and in syria as well talking to people there and there is a fear of this will turn into a war fought for all the year not beg your pardon we've been hearing that the next battle will be between israel and iran and it will be in self serving and it's

actually now beginning to happen although all sources at high level meant in that neither side wants active war what israel wants is for iranian fighters to get out of syria which is not happening hizbullah is not going to get out of there and what the iranians and the hizbullah and the city and says look we have allies we're going to be whatever we want to be and israel has no business telling us our so you've got a tense situation in any anything really you can overnight on into or into a war in the region right now although one hopes that better sense would prevail and one of the reasons for us decision to withdraw from the iran nuclear deal has an emboldened either side or perhaps both. well that's just savvy fuel to the fire and this essentially is a huge victory for benjamin netanyahu he had she wanted this for a very very long time and under a truck he's basically got what he wanted now iran's foreign minister is going to be traveling the world he's also going to be going to will of brussels and meeting

the e.u. list is that he's hoping if you can somewhat sounds the deal but what we hear is that this creates a huge problem for honey inside because caminiti the spiritual leader has already said that look we don't even have to ask the e.u. countries what should tell us of the will help us in getting one of the swiss are in a normal we saw it in a way the hardliners are bound to prevail in this some who are sort of making sense are saying that we just hope for donald trump to exit. for another american president to work with but that's of course. not happening immediately until four in the beirut thank you. we will present troops decision to withdraw america from the iran nuclear deal putting pressure on industry across the globe to winter as a story that's right the fear is spreading at the moment phil the u.s. president wants to reinstate sanctions against iran over concerns of the country's nuclear program but that couldn't have come at a worse time for the

a radian economy iran's currency has been under pressure for months the reaal has lost over a third of its value against the dollar since december to iran is also grappling with high unemployment among recent university graduates thirty six percent of men can't find work and that number is a staggering fifty percent for women and that's not the only challenge iran is facing a lack of private investment jew in part to a banking sector that can barely afford to issue loans to iran is investing less than three percent of its g.d.p. and maintaining its aging infrastructure which further hampers business development become buddies worldwide could lose out as the u.s. really imposes sanctions just take european aircraft manufacturers which face losing thirty eight billion dollars worth of deals. thanks to the euro nuclear agreement airbus was able to secure

a deal for one hundred aircraft with iran. however at least ten percent of the components for its planes come from u.s. producers and this detail is likely to pull the plug on the sale. anything that has any of us content and any dealings with us and then gets reported to iran is going to come under scrutiny and i think that we need to be very very careful a. competitor boeing which struck a deal for eighty planes with iran is also likely to be forced to cancel their contract along with various other aircraft producers among the companies french producer took tar looked out to cash in together with the chinese business it struck a fall billion euros deal to tap the south parts of field firearm now it seems unlikely that the country will be able to continue ortez in many markets.

where the oil structures will be a very significant one what the markets have already. found is that yes there's going to be some tension prices have risen a little bit before the announcement was expected have come down a little bit since. international comic is also had high hopes p.s.a. peugeot citroen was planning to build a plant in iran and renault hoped to produce one hundred fifty thousand cars for the country. fox long was also planning to enter the market. now all those companies and iran itself are seeing their plans move further out of free choice due to one country's determination to strike a better deal now these companies will have to rush their business through all face a sudden shutdown so often national correspondent daniel cope. even more pressure for german and european companies in

a newspaper interview the new ambassador of the united states germany used again very strong rhetoric c.e.o.'s who won through continue doing business with the how he calls it mourner regime should say this openly in public european company you see actually a big potential in iran german exports to iran where worth an estimated three point five billion u.s. dollars but when you compare this to the business with the united states of course this is nothing that that number there is around one hundred and fifteen billion u.s. dollars some companies also airbus want to get now as many ideas as possible through before sanctions are imposed a t. and t. admits it made a big mistake by hiring this man michael cohen donald trump's personal lawyer contractual payments amounting to six hundred thousand dollars and now under the spotlight as cohen is under federal investigation he was hired to advise telecoms giant eighteen to you on the new trumpet ministration which the firm's c.e.o.

now says was a serious misjudgment the lawyer for adult film star stormy daniels revealed earlier this week that a slew of companies paid cohen to get information on the presidency the disclosure of the company's relationship with cohen could affect whether an eighty five billion dollars deal to buy time warner gets approval next month one which donald trump called not good for the country. argentina's economy is still struggling so much so the country was forced earlier this week to push up its interest rate to a massive forty percent that's the world's highest president is now trying to negotiate a loan from the international monetary fund but many hundred times worry that this could make matters worse. the bad weather wasn't enough to stop thousands storming through the streets of one of cyrus. you know i was about to meet.

me well this will not allow congress to accept intervention from the international monetary fund. what we reject president makris labor reform. say we're. not doing well because remember. we know that policies like this lead us to hell and we won't allow it. somebody beat the hell was the catastrophic financial crisis at the time of the millennium when all savings accounts were frozen the i.m.f. later admitted it made mistakes lending argentina too much money with too little oversight. the president in two thousand and four nest was celebrated for repaying argentina's i.m.f. that set once and now while protests rage on in. argentina as the treasury minister is in washington negotiating credit from the i.m.f. . and so the demonstrations continue.

we've lived through this already we don't want to go back to the i.m.f. . eighty percent about intervening as opposed to the president's policies so that's why we're protesting. with the pace a plunging to new lows many fears distance from the i.m.f. could just make a bad situation worse. now to malaysia and more surprises after the shock election victory that i have which i think countries the job of opposition leader abraham is to be granted a full royal pardon allowing him to leave prison in the next few days paving the way for a political comeback the country's newly elected prime minister mahathir mohamad has announced that he will hug mr i'm well in a few years it's the latest move in a week of surprising political developments in malaysia which had previously been governed by the same party for decades. historic moment for malaysia's

opposition the swearing in of a new government leader anwar ibrahim had to watch it from his hospital room he's serving a sentence for sodomy charges that his supporters say are politically motivated a crowd of his supporters outside with signs reading let's all save malaysia and anwar has returned. and his wife as he's a one is male discussed a pardon with the king and then he actually expressed that he splits no wish. to be enlightened soon it's possible that the padded cells looked in for him to be able to participate in fact it was it's. it comes after former prime minister mahathir mohamad triumphed as head of the opposition against. the berri sun national coalition the alliance has ruled malaysia for decades and mahathir himself was prime minister for twenty years at the party's head. now in

a remarkable turnaround anwar is set to become prime minister as mahathir says he'll turn over power once anwar is pardoned that can't happen soon enough for and more supporters who described his joy at the events that he had been. this push me up a bit with the ovals that he has you know in the context of people move one way but the issue is that the whole. debate about sixty years. about he said nothing of government and all that so obviously he was very happy that now the world awaits anwar is release from a jail cell to the heights of power. so what relations think of this turn of events t w southeast asia correspondent bastion hosack gave us his assessment. well his supporters and we heard some in the report they're definitely going to be happy because they've been waiting for decades for anwar ibrahim to actually become prime minister and the main reason why he couldn't do that and why he was deprived of

that office that he deserved as his supporters the it was of course his former nemesis. the now newly elected prime minister martin harman who has now joined one by now joined forces with to win these elections and now having said that not everyone in unwise opposition movement is happy about it unholy alliance if you will because many in the opposition of course suffered under two years rule of twenty two years to them who was known for relentlessly cracking down on his critics and you can see that in a very broad him now nonetheless he is now the newly elected prime minister of malaysia and he has a lot on his plate because he has to fulfill the election promises mainly. fighting corruption which is endemic in malaysia lowering the cost of living is that they're seeing some sort of health care scheme or a social safety net so there's a lot to do for the new government even before anwar ibrahim becomes eventually

maybe the next prime minister of malaysia. boston hostage reporter now to some of the other stories making news around the world south africa's elite police unit is taking over the investigation into an attack on a mosque outside durban because extremism is a suspected motive person died and two others were wounded in the attack which happened on thursday after midnight after midday prayers. officials in gaza say israeli soldiers have shot dead one palestinian and wounded dozens more during the sixth week of protests at the border with israel two journalists and a paramedic are reported to be amongst the injured palestinians are protesting against israel's decade long blockade of gaza and america's decision to move its embassy to jerusalem. the supreme court in the philippines as voted to remove its it'd eight six to remove her or incorrectly declaring past earnings just a strain or told supporters of the charges were false and were a punishment for opposing the president's authoritarian. more than two months after

elections in italy on the country still waiting for a new government but talks in a row between the populist five star movement and the right wing nationalist league finally seem to be bringing progress the party's leaders said they want to do a deal as soon as possible and if that happens they could propose a prime minister to the president by this coming sunday. it could be the end of the waiting game not here salvini head of the far right league made his way through a throng of journalists but came very little away. after weeks of stanley's it was up to leidy mio it's obvious coalition partner from the populist five star movement just bill of goods. so. first of all we're very proud we arrived at this point in a linear and coherent way yesterday evening we finally laid the foundations for an agreement with the league and launched a project for a government of change we want this afternoon our parliamentary members and experts

will start working on a government contract that remains our most important focus so if you go back to face. the fact that just last monday italian president said your mother in law declared that negotiations to build a new government had ultimately failed for weeks had been pressuring the two parties to come to an agreement threatening to cool fresh elections if they failed to do so. in the interest of the little the fact that italian voters won't have to go to the polls again and that they political impasse may soon be over is largely down to one man. said joe palace kone the media mogul and former prime minister stepped aside in an act of endless generosity as his forte attorney a party put it that clears the way for the league who had teamed up with ford said as part of a center right coalition to negotiate with the five star movement that party had

categorically refused to strike a deal as long as by the scone it was still in office that the coalition partners are looking to build a government by the beginning of next week on sunday they had to be able to name then you had a government in media reports say could possibly be an independent candidate but ultimately it will be at least president said your mother ella who has the last word at. the washington dublin news live from ballad still to come dropping the charges that's a call from supporters of a nineteen year old sudanese woman sentenced to death for stopping her husband after she says he writes her a mistake international has criticized her conviction because for it to be quashed . underscores emotions will be running high at the top and bottom of the table as the bundesliga answers its final we can't control what to expect from saturday's action. we'll have all bought as well as our business for dollar winters and your

old a crowd gathered outside the courtroom here in durham as the judge passed sentence the dead man's family had refused an opportunity to pardon a teenager and rejected offers of financial compensation. on numerous legal team now has vowed to two weeks to appeal the hash tag justice for nora has been trending online this activist demand the charges be dropped this show from d.w. social media house welcome liz. what are activists saying. well phil amnesty international is calling for a fair retrial for nora they say that the sentence the death sentence is acceptable in fact i can read you part of the statement by amnesty international they say the death penalty is the ultimate cruel inhuman and degrading punishment and to apply it to a rape victim only highlights the failure of the sudanese authorities to acknowledge the violence she and you're in fact across the world not just in sudan

but also in other parts of the world people standing outside holding signs calling for justice for noor of this has been taking place on social media lots of people have been following the story also within sudan one woman who was following the sentencing yesterday she told us what the atmosphere was like in the courtroom she says i was never sadder and more shaken than when i saw and read today she walked in with a steady feet and the head held high she is a hero a survivor and a voice that dared refuse oppression in a society created to oppress and in fact many people have just been shocked by the details that we're learning from this case on her as lawyers say that she was married off by her parents when she was sixteen years old and then she fled to a relative she stayed with that relative for three years and when she came back that is when her husband really got hold of her he raped her he had his relatives

hold her down while he was raping her and then he wanted to do that again on another day and that is when rats tagged him so right now rights groups insist that she is the victim in this case and so what the campaign is trying to achieve. well first and foremost they hope that you out will be pardoned in fact there is an online petition that was put up just a few days ago and i can show you just how far they have gotten at this point to so as you see here more than one hundred twenty five thousand people have already signed it they say that he acted in self-defense but feel what rights activists also want to do is to shed a light on the broader issue of marital rape and also on child marriages both are issues which are not considered crimes in sudan so that is something that they want to raise awareness about the show thanks so much.

more algerians are using to their rides and it's not going down well with traditional taxi drivers and the winter as well as far as i'm speak on traverse city which follows these apps wherever they are ordering rides digitally with apps like lift is now common across the world and it seems the conflict is hitching a ride with the taxi drivers saying that tightly controlled industry is being undercut by an unregulated and even a dangerous one an area it's no different but here it isn't silicon valley causing the ruckus it's an app of the country's own making. if you need a cab in the algerian capital audi is all you need is your smartphone. here it's called yes it's the country's answer to. monitor has been driving for yasser since last summer he's happy and says his customers are to. get

a lawsuit satisfaction of their home people are happy with the service we're here for them and we provide transport the way they want it it's not like traditional taxis who choose their own itinerary i take my passengers from a to b. as they want and i'm paid after each trip. it's very congested in the big cities especially algiers driving your own car can be stressful but taxi that's affordable and arrives quickly here's a convenience alternative. i don't own a car so much traffic i can't even find a parking space so i use the app i put in my destination the driver calls me and then comes to pick me up. here yasser is really changing every day life for algerians. it's really helpful especially for women who sometimes have a hard time on public transport said if an emotion is also great for students like me. the drive is a nice the projects are good and we feel safe. and secure we do see the company's

headquarters is here in the capital yes it was developed by three out syrian i.t. engineers they say the demand is growing rapidly there are already five thousand yeah so drivers ready and willing. drivers are trained of course we have two training sessions good day with a professional instructor who teaches the potential drivers about security and road safety. there are also lessons about how to take care of a passenger but make sure they're comfortable. traditional taxi drivers are outraged and worried about their livelihoods. they're calling on politicians to do something about the new competition. and i can only speak for myself but to me this is not ok with a taxi driver smashing a taxi driver all my life you know you have these people who have their own car and then suddenly the taxi drivers competing with us it's not rising i'm not against

people wanting to work but there are other jobs. it hasn't gone down well with the taxi drivers union either yes or is feeling a heated debate. but it's also fueling the job market. and staying in the region the deaths of two women who were crushed in a stampede at a border crossing has highlighted the darker side of morocco's trade relationship with spain most of morocco's imports come by the way of spain some make the thirty kilometer crossing from the spanish port of alga sirus to say which is on brokers northern coast afterwards that transported through customs into morocco some importers take advantage of a loophole to avoid paying customs duties namely by having the goods carried literally and it's moscow's most vulnerable women who pay the price. every

pace is a struggle hand to hand battle with burdens weighing up to one hundred kilos these moroccan women work as mules moving merchandise across the border from the spanish enclave of seawater into morocco. all this to get fifteen euros per trip the taxi to the border cost for euro's before we even start how are we supposed to eat. legal commerce across the border between spain and morocco or tax evasion goods carried across the border on foot don't attract import duties depending on what they carry these women earn between ten and twenty five euros a load. i am. the traders well organized by wholesalers who make a generous margin. for general medical gain a bit annoyed that the moroccan state gives nothing to women what do you want that they go into prostitution no they come here they transport

a packet and then they can feed their children or i don't recall that out she was a mother and her blind daughter it's handicapped women the elderly single mothers or widows morocco's most vulnerable women who do this heavy work for. a few weeks ago two women were killed in a stampede crushed by the weight of the bundles now spanish authorities have imposed stricter regulations on the trade they've demanded that the women use trolleys many say that this has only made the job harder. but these women count themselves lucky to have been able to get over the spanish authorities only allow four thousand porters per day to cross some will have to sleep rough on the spanish side of the border. some will resort to desperate measures to cross undetected with their cargo. also that

a few moroccan businessmen can avoid paying import duties. and it's only business is time for sports now and the end of the german football season. comes to a close this weekend but not before a final match day which should see plenty of drama at both ends of the table setting it all up for us is nick mechanic life indeed only sport welcome so what are we looking forward to this weekend big relegation battle is finally going to decide it will be freiberg will be false burger will be hamburger relegates and spend next season the second division you've got the fight for the european qualification places as well and finally six weeks after winning their title by munich finally actually gets a lift thing this saturday so you got more than all that and more detail in this report. another year another title for boy and they'll be more pictures like this at the end of the current bundesliga season only with a few different faces on show aspirants celebrate their six title row in the battle

for the remaining champions league spot in hindsight on dortmund. leverkusen unlike sega still in with a shout dortmund are looking to redeem themselves after a turbulent season. those. of course i'm confident that we can go there and get a point or a win it's an exciting game as hoffenheim also need to take risks. as you go. down the bottom they have other concerns survival by any means the target freiburg and fifteenth spot need only a point to guarantee safety. but a firm it's a tense battle between waltz bergen hamburg the wolves have nosedived in recent weeks but a point against last place cologne will give them a chance to save themselves for the relegation play off as we know it to know our own huns this saturday so we don't need to worry about what the other teams are doing miss me is the. second last hamburg need

a miracle i went home to glad back is the minimum requirement but the belief among supporters is back. as you can see that the team's achievements over the last few weeks have got the funds but behind us the team and the funds are united as i hope present here. by and will be aiming to finish the league season strongly in preparation for next week's german cup final the showpiece will be coach here behind his final match in charge. so. three teams fighting it out for the last two champions league qualification spots who's going to miss out i think for me leverkusen leipzig they're the ones who just outside the top four you've got you've got sorry hoffenheim playing top and some are there in third and fourth place which you'll see in the table in just a couple of seconds and as they're playing each other they kind of can can they can help each other out gautam and need only a point to say attempts in places where mean to win but there's if you look at the

third place and fifth place is a six goal six point goal difference and so you need a six gold turner and i mean the half and i mean to win by three goals leverkusen need to win by three goals and then all of a sudden leverkusen are currently in fifth could draw for jumping to fourth place not top and now there's not a scenario. in this particular case but i think it's going to stay the way you see it on the screen at the moment the dominant hoffenheim will be joining shaka and behind in the champions league next season go to keeping up with that you need a big charts to move things around and it's not just at the top to tell us about the teams in danger of relegation at this late stage as i mentioned before his freiburg going to hamburg there on thirty three and thirty and twenty eight points respectively have freiburg just need one point to stay in the league most books same situation essentially because the goal difference is receiving here is just so superior to hamburg that they need ten goals difference said to be pulled out of the relegation places hamburg need false bug to lose if they want to even think about staying the league and jumping is that relegation play off spot in playing

host and he'll in two weeks time again lots of scenarios and go goal difference here is the key but to be perfectly honest with you i think it's finally humbugs time to be relegated and spend at least the seasonal stew in the second division to reach the rhythm this at this weird story going on about one of the teams in the running for promotion into the bundesliga hold starting keil have a problem with the stadium indeed now the interesting thing about them is could become the very first team from the german state to face the host and to play in germany's top leagues the only state which hasn't had a football team from from that part of the country but their problem is the stadium only has a capacity of twelve thousand other d.f.l. that's the board who run the league or they want to host and he'll have a fifteen thousand seater stadium with at least eight thousand seats the rest can be standing but of course this small team like this they will be promoted from the first of its third division last year can't change their stadium that quickly and so what's happening is that the defense said you can't play there you can't play somewhere else so actually it's a very sad end to what's up until now have been a beautiful story if they caught it it might appeal it doesn't manage to go through

they'll be playing thirty four games away from home next season oh look good luck to them and good luck to you kind of like thank you thank you. one of the world's leading anti doping investigative journalists has been denied a visa to attend the upcoming the world cup in russia i was that felt has reported extensively on widespread doping in russia for years is investigations prompted the world anti-doping agency to look into the country's state sponsored there have been programs which saw russia banned from competing at this year's winter games in pune chan germany's public service broadcaster they applied for the visa on zeppelins behalf and with the un said that he'd been placed on russia's list of unwanted persons. and here's the thing that read that delicious and that all over here they're being called bourbon lobsters a plague of louisiana swamp crayfish has invaded the streams and lakes of the german capital biologists think that likely to have been abandoned as pets we had

pets and since then that numbers have exploded the latest attempt to control them involves capture cooking and crunching. but when snakes are crawling with the new and have attend might not have noticed far more on that local watch us now facing an invasion by the north american crayfish two years ago the city then we missed a natural predator and then the attempt to eradicate the crayfish but that you simply couldn't eat the crayfish fast enough as they were reproducing at the same time so now the senate of change the strategy that allowing been the last to eat the crayfish but for that we fast have to catch them. ok it seems i haven't got what it takes so i need some help. local expert

klaus hit and his team a fisherman help out they've been awarded the official contract to kill and said the screech us what are my chances of catching one today your chances are pretty good but i have to warn you i would be guilty of poaching i thought about it what do i have to do to add my chances of actually catching some crayfish lifelong. all the material your net is made of is too thin there crayfish would tear it up. in the early morning and late afternoon these professional fisherman catch their heart in the bud brit's gardens it took just a few days for them to bring in thousands of the omnivorous creatures. why get tough when we think that someone had some in his aquarium when they got to begin to put them out here in the waters. these crayfish are ready to reproduce when they're just six months old and they reproduce rapidly under the. local

fish monger on the ts and it's has exclusive rights to say these studies and the trendy clients back mock tylenol and. muster up first she just twists the head off. and then you turn it over on its back. and he sure is done nailed to crack and peel off the show. when you're left with the belly which you just left out. so it's really tasty and i'm glad i tried it now. the balun big city lobster is a delicacy that might not be on the menu for very long the goal of this license to kill is to exterminate the creatures for the good of the local wildlife.

so what and so eurovision week and for the first time their famous song contest goes to portugal semifinals of be happening this week in lisbon with twenty six countries making the cut now gearing up for saturday night's grand finale this is an annual extravaganza of come from a kind of helps that from v.w. culture is here to tell us more welcome so. to watch this is ok well it's a pretty strong crop this year with the usual ultra broad spectrum of pop so we're going we're talking from pop opera over folk rock all the folk pop soaring all the way to dance music and there's usually a touch of metal in there as well and this is also very much the pinnacle of kitsch so there's always a very generous dose of smiles and attack your visuals we can count on the power techniques and sniffed again just have a quick look at who is being favorite at the moment.

the eurovision is as much about the spectacle was the song and as far as that goes the studios. will be hard to beat the trained opera singer will be wearing a giant down decorated by three hundred sixty elaborate projections that move and change along with the music. but you're. vision is also sometimes used for political or social messages and this year france is in the running with a song about the refugee crisis the duo madame miss you are singing mercy which was inspired by the true story of a little girl born on a rescue ship in the mediterranean. i. think. one of the hot tips to win this israel is not a bestseller who's also chosen to address a current topic with her song talk. this talk of

a strong message of me too and i thought about something funky that can sound. like a cycle of. abuse like ouch like. like the fence that black and then it goes over and over and over again thank you very happy vibe song back to it has a strong message with between the lines so you write a song for you a message of a different kind is offered by the two thousand and nine winner norway's alexander everything he's back this year with the song explaining just how to write a song. he. is saying. this. was ok but the current favorite among the book makers is cyprus represented by any fool with the song for a go no political message just a classic sexy dance track. cut.

the competition is also known for surprise upsets though and with people from so many different countries voting it can be difficult to protect who will come out the winner on saturday night. because in there i mean it has been noted that politics are becoming more and more important to us a lot of messages there every year there are a number. of issues that get taken up but there is no shortage of the feel good factor as you can see but it is also very true that local tastes really do have a lot to do with what can happen on saturday night and speaking of local tastes you heard the chinese network that had the rights to broadcast your vision to china actually censored two of the acts in last night's semifinals so they cut out two heavily tattooed musicians from albania and we can see them here even though it's quite dark and also cut out the entry from ireland because it contained

a romantic dance sequence between two men and they were also blurring rainbow flags in the audience you know trying to ban same sex relationships and any sort of gay content from t.v. and online streaming platforms and so the evil has effectively cut off their feet to take a stand against the government censorship saying that it is not in line with the values of universality and the proud tradition of celebrating diversity through music ok there you go well good for the e.b.u. not only eurovision i'm british we do univision take it out of me for viewers who don't really know what this is what is it explain it well i can relate to that your vision is of course an institution in europe and for the uninitiated it can certainly seem incredibly over the top the music takes its cues these days i would say more and more from the american style of music but the origins of course come from the really classical shall song or the italian consul name and of course german. which when you get it all makes up is this kind of euro pop

a lot of scandi pop in there you certainly know all about the parties i must admit the first time i went to your fusion party i was here once i'd moved here to germany hundreds actually quite shocked everybody dresses up well it's just because of the of the nature of so many of these performances a lot of the a lot of germany's performances over the years have been really incredibly tongue in cheek and so once you've got head around that it can it can be zero. a lot of fun so they call it eurovision but we had israel's in it and australia's been in it for you for years so you'd better explain how the rules work ok well absolutely i was there were john also a bit of a wild card the aussies have actually been fans of the year vision for years and so they were invited on a one off sort of special invite in twenty fifteen to take part and that has turned into a permanent invite so they are other what happens when you get out of character sorry not that i've been there for me but essentially it's the european broadcasting union that runs the show and so any country that is a member of the e.b.u.

can stand and act and it's but it's definitely something that's always in flux and there been some really standout performances and historical performances over the years for instance we look back it's been a springboard for some epic music careers like this we do superbly who won in one nine hundred seventy four with their smash hit waterloo unless of course it's history many people have forgotten that canadian singer seems young actually kick started her career at euro vision and nine hundred eighty eight forty four known only to french speaking audience that she represented switzerland and became a mega star worldwide. and down the international was from israel your visions first ever trend when i was twenty years ago and that was a win that really cemented the events at the table as a hell of a tory space for the al g.b. team community something the conceit of most obviously profited from four years ago great everything you ever wanted to know about so you are going to go so i did here

and on the website i mean dot com slash culture. kind of helps the facts are that if you're up to date most of the top of the hour is no good. the.
