odd odd to me to. mock. modesty. this is you know we use life for berlin in europe or pushes back he'll council president all to school lashes out at u.s. president donald trump's policies. in place to be sure that the call that says european leaders gather to discuss the iran nuclear deal and the threat of us sanctions on european steel as the transatlantic rift risks growing our correspondent outlines what's at stake also coming up the white house admits plans for an historic summit with north korea are in doubt president trump it is still

insisting on the denuclearization of north korea a condition that pyongyang says is grounds for calling off the meeting. ended the best clubs in europe square off in less than an hour in the europa league final both must say and it led to coverage or it are in good spirits but much is at stake who give you a preview. plus a film that debut focusing on the cultural riches of the german capital berlin's treasure trove which was co-produced by d w looks at the stories behind millions of objects in the city's museums the movie's director will be getting the studio right here with me to tell us more. the old man. the odd. around

way iraq thanks for your company everyone is the special relationship between the e.u. and the u.s. under strict the transatlantic relationship are described as the bedrock of european economy and security is on shaky ground tonight as we come on the air european leaders are gathering in vogue area the meeting comes at a critical time fallout from the u.s. decision to pull out of the iran nuclear deal is weighing heavily on the e.u. german chancellor angela merkel who has criticized the u.s. for its withdrawal from the iran nuclear deal arrived a short while ago but leaders are also expected to discuss their response to the threat of u.s. trade tariffs on europe. meanwhile the european council president donald to school lashed out at president donald trump statement came ahead of the meeting of european leaders this evening looking at the latest decisions of president. keven sitting. with friends like that. but

frankly speaking. you should be grateful by president. because i think. we have got to old age. because. if you need a hand. you will find. your. stinging criticism there from european council president donald to scare you correspondent bob of asal is in the capital sofia where e.u. leaders are arriving for their dinner barbara just how low can transatlantic relations go before reaching breaking point. if we talk about rock bottom line of the question is what's below it deep dungeon maybe actually what we are seeing here is really a sort of deep freeze in transatlantic relations that many and most people who will

present to you and of serving this event cannot ever remember even at the height of the anger and fury about the iraq war between president bush and the european union and particularly germany and france when we remember it was never like this it was always we had elyse we have problems with different opinions but we're elyse now we're at the point where many european countries question this and we heard this just from the council president and he usually talks to e.u. leaders before they get together to the meeting like this one so he does mirror some of the mood that will be at this dinner and will be in the hall with leaders are meeting twenty eight talking and pretty much everybody will want to have a say because as i said there is a tremendous amount of anger among them and not backing down a basically staring down the u.s. over the iran nuclear deal i just wonder barbara how far is brussels prepared to go

because this isn't it basically powerless in the face of well u.s. power. they are trying not to be i mean that's that's they're really steeling themselves to sort of stand up to trump because if you listen to somebody like the french president a month from was furious about the way he was treated more you know paraded around and made a big show off and then send sent away empty handed and so people feel european leaders fear and similar angela merkel they feel that they are being treated with contempt and my trunk says we cannot and do not want to be vessels to the united states so they are trying to stand up there trying to devise him as a measures to counteract american sanctions that are trying to devise for instance alternate. sources of investment money to to support investment in iran and its separate banking system to circumvent american banks so

there's a whole bundle of measures and the europeans are really trying to have their best to spend comes from but these measures that you're reporting on i mean these are long long term programs that they have to implement i wonder if it's too little too late for the immediate future for this deal in particular. they are going to move very quickly let me the iranians have given them like thirty to sixty days just to come up with was a plan how to say the deal and the europeans know that they have to make it worthwhile for iran to stick to the deal economically that's the most important thing that's to keep the hardliners away from toppling the regime against tehran and turning politics completely around and totally hostile so they are really trying to act very quickly get some money together get some plans together get some measures together to protect companies that do want to invest and work in iran and

france france has said we're going to continue to buy oil and gas from here on and so there is a lot of defines in europe and they're trying nest you correspondent reporting from bulgaria capital sofia thank you and now one of the main reasons why the e.u. is grappling with how to deal with the fallout from what happened in this nuclear deal is because there's so much business at stake you can say that again and made at times really of the essence with this one one the e.u. commission is saying they're prepared to use legislation making it illegal for european companies to comply with u.s. sanctions targeting iran now u.s. president donald trump has threatened to slap sanctions on firms that do business with iran and he's naming names has some gun j.v. and checks the news several times a day dear amy an entrepreneur is currently in germany visiting his business partners he sells medical technology and is also involved in the computer industry

. donald trump's decision to withdraw from the iran nuclear deal comes up at every business meeting how will the e.u. react will there be new sanctions against iran. done j.v. and has made a lot of contacts through international trade fairs like this one in tehran last year and he has contracts with european companies but now many of his partners are uncertain about the future of the businesses. right now we have to sit down and see what's going on basically the. improvement relations between iran and european companies especially with germany and you see these very moment no history we can see

who've all real partner. and to be a spokes boehm speaks to his staff in the middle east several times a day fire video link from darmstadt in southwestern germany he provides high speed satellite internet to customers in afghanistan pakistan and iran. airlines have shown a lot of interest but getting the money together for these kinds of orders could become increasingly problematic that's one of what would have worked fine a week ago might be impossible next week getting some of the fun these big projects for instance a european bank with branches in the u.s. won't be able to finance them. books is still trying to keep his customers in the middle east happy but if the sanctions go ahead business is like he is might have a difficult future. will trade tensions continue to rise between the globe's top two economies china is stepping up inspections of key u.s.

imports like pork and costs terror threats from both sides hanging over billions of dollars worth of goods that could spark a trade war now another high level delegation from beijing is visiting washington. he might feel like yes china in the palm of his hand u.s. president donald trump placed sanctions on chinese electronics giant z t that almost ruined them but no trump is promising to be more lenient and help them back into business provided china scrapped plans to impose sanctions on u.s. agricultural imports. it is well known that the present president wants to reduce the bilateral trade gap and i think the way to do that is for china to lower barriers across the board in the us export now and do it also creates growth their growth keeping these barriers down is important for u.s. farmers they would be hit hardest by the chinese tariffs announced in retaliation

to trump's plans tariffs on chinese steel and aluminum imports farmers are important voters for donald trump and he'll need their support at the mid-term elections come autumn. easily so you anti establishment parties are reportedly close to reaching a deal to form a coalition government then this would put an end to more than two months of deadlock but their plans to free up billions of euros the tax cuts all and welfare all ready rattling the markets why well italy is already two point three trillion euros in debt now that amounts to twenty three percent of total eurozone debt so pretty steep when you consider that the country only makes up fifteen percent of the euro zone's total economic output now last year the italian economy grew one point seven percent that are all signs that growth could be slowing down manufacturing has been sluggish since the beginning of the year business confidence has drops well earlier we spoke to the italian economist mckayla get out at all

skim what he thinks the most pressing reforms for the country are it's i believe either he needs labor reforms i believe we have a problem here with me smile. of supply and demand for labor we have young people unemployed and not finding jobs and we also have call buttons that can not find talent in easily we need to really do what i call it all to do lead like in the resale and really look at everything in a entire system we need to look at the numbers of my one line we have to go to almost any price and if we cannot afford it we need to find the money but the. development of infrastructure is a master of or easily tell an economist mechanic get out now as back override that plane and now thank you so much alan i want to bring up to speed now with some of

the other stories making news around the world would be nice for me to go out on lala has opened an embassy in jerusalem what a mall in president general us and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu attend that the opening which comes just two days after tensions were raised to a boiling point by the opening of the u.s. embassy in the city israeli troops shot dead dozens of palestinian protesters at the gaza border. and indonesia at least one officer has been killed and several others wounded in an attack on police barracks in the town of reality police shot and killed four of the assailants and wounded one other group slammed a minivan into a gate at the barracks and attacked officers who were samurai swords. now after in a belt faced by north korea plans for a historic summit with the us are now in doubt president donald trump acknowledge that it's unclear whether the much anticipated meeting was still on insisting that

pyongyang must abandon its nuclear arsenal north korea meanwhile says it will not take part in the talks if it is pressure to give up its nukes. history being written only a few weeks ago at a summit of the north and south korean leaders. where pyongyang said it was prepared to denuclearize. but now north korea has put on the brakes. in a possible sign of growing problems the north postponed a summit scheduled with south korea. the reason for these annual u.s. south korea joint military exercises that are currently taking place. south korea expressed surprise and disappointment at the news. it's regrettable that north korea has decided to unilaterally postpone the upcoming high level talks.

back in washington president donald trump said he had been officially notified about north korea's threat to cancel their planned to summit next month we haven't seen anything we haven't heard anything we will see what happened very early or the white house press secretary indicated that the president was prepared to roll with whatever decision the north koreans make. will continue with a campaign of maximum pressure that's the case but like i just said if they want to meet the president will certainly be ready and we will be prepared but if not that's where i think we're trump has taken credit for shepherding the korean peninsula towards peace last month meeting newly freed u.s. citizens who had been held prisoner in north korea. their release was hailed as yet another sign of thawing relations with pyongyang but now out of nowhere things could be up in the air. stream or are the talks indeed off the table here to discuss his highness mosler he is

a professor at the graduate school of east asian studies at the university of berlin a very good evening sir good to have you here with us mr muscle if it's too good to be true is it too good to be true in this case i think we are still good and this is simply a positioning all before the meeting in june in the north koreans just wanted to get their message across directly to trump bypassing the negotiators to be very clear that they are still there and they want that piece of the. all right they want their piece of the cake u.s. secretary of state mike pompei you just recently returned after his second visit to pyongyang and with that of course the hostages what i wonder is did he not iron out the details with the north korean leadership regarding for instance these the military exercises that have angered pyongyang well we should have expected that they did but i think we cannot explain this recent this advance today by the north koreans if there weren't any differences taking place in this pretty negotiations

was pump a pail so i think there were some things the north koreans were in the green on and that's why they are now trying to get directly to try and make clear what they want and what their conditions awful at the meetings are basically negotiations are taking place in public rather than behind closed doors yeah we know from north korea that they don't have much to bargain with except a nuclear weapon so they use every channel or any means they have as leverage right what seems to have particularly angered or even vexed in north korea are comments made by the new a u.s. national security advisor john bolton what did he say that brought this turn about where you as a debater t.v. show whether he they would adopt the libya model so whether they would proceed as they did in the case of libya and remind us what was that like oh well we very well

know what the history went to qaddafi said ok i will discard my nukes nuclear weapons. afterwards he got killed in the civil war and by the rebels on the rebels were aided by the not so it's a very simple calculation for the north koreans ok now just outline for us if you will and mr moss how much is at stake here for a president trump and what's hanging in the balance for the north korean leader well for trumpet's quite straightforward we know that he's deep in trying. well in the states so he needs a success not at least at the mid-term elections in november and for in north korea it's also very clear he wants to bring his country felt he wants to develop his country and he needs support he needs economy going on if you want to to bring his country forward but it's it's about the world i mean the world needs peace and if you want to to solve this issue we all have to handle this issue very

carefully ok i have some os the professor at the graduate school of east asian studies at the free university of berlin thank you for spending time with us. all right in other news on marigolds face a stormy reception in the german parliament as she delivered a speech on her government's controversial draft budget for the year two thousand and eighteen the german chancellor said she would be cautious regarding higher spending with darling under pressure for france to increase its contributions and chance america rejected suggestions that bolstering defense is a defense spending rather amounted to a military build up. all right to correspondent kate brady joins me now a kid how exactly at the chancellor americal defense plans to expand the german defense budget this year. of course defense is one of the most contentious issues in this new budget muckle said today that the planned increase of one point five

billion euros to germany's defense budget is not about upgrading the bundestag the german military but actually equipping it was you might remember there's been several reports over the past few months about the lack of resources and lack of equipment in the german military merkel said as well today defending this move to increase defense the defense budget that this is very much in response to the change on the international stage and she referred to several conflicts and crises going on right now including the middle east eastern ukraine and of course the syria conflict of course she even went as far to say that the german military should as a last resort also be able to act as a military force or even there we are seeing more signs of germany moving away from the norm interventional its traditions which have very much been the status quo since the second world war and kid it wasn't business as usual in the going to talk

today set the scene for us what was the mood like well there were of course i'm rather heated moment in the bundestag today and that was very much due to the a.f.p. the far right alternative for germany party and alice vital the leader of the parliamentary group the a.f.p. she had some rather inflammatory comments today during her address and so we can have a listen now to what she had to say. india's missing most recent issue with iraq's you talked to allow me to end with a quote from former czech president to me last saemon it's something you've already heard here and i quote if you live in a country that might penalize you for fishing without a license but not for crossing the border illegally without a valid passport then you would be right in saying this country is governed by idiots just learnt form if you want to get. you heard

just there on that soundbite some boos from other members of parliament in the bundestag today and the response was generally quite measured but others file was actually called to order by the president of the bundestag after some other comments which she made about women wearing burkas and head scarves in germany and they were deemed discriminator and even xenophobic by some of the german media following that address today because the general response as i say was quite measured and angela merkel went to the extent of actually not even addressing the a.f.p. at all in her thirty minutes each car did or use follicle correspondent kate brady reporting thank you. the europa league final kick south in the all france two nights in about an hour say

and a place to come a druid will face off in what is the both clubs last chance to win a trophy this season while the french outfit are known for their attacking prowess politico are the masters of defense promises to be a thrilling match. must say have been in devastating goal scoring form this season start play to me to pile yet has not stopped twenty four since while florrie until vaughan has set up eighteen and scored twenty six however the french outfit are a long way away from the nineteen nineties heyday when they won the champions league and reached two more european finals. for two more years to cross we all want to imitate what our famous previous searches did. lead to costars in a way i mean know that it's going to be very difficult it's going to be quite a mission but that would make it even more of a sensation if we didn't get our hands on the trophy. opponents that let you coma

dritte will be a tough nut to crack they have the meanest defense in spain with just twenty goals conceded in the lake and their threat up front to one creates men has racked up twenty seven goals and fifteen assists and would be a good to impress on home soil as recent winners and champions league regulars at letty co are the favorites. too we need to minimise their attacking prowess look at their home with their great side going forward and have a lot of ambition. that had an excellent season in europe and in the french league i think it will be a beautiful beautiful final showdown and we have two teams who have a very similar style but both officials will play direct football and use the ball very well to them within the. coach diego simeone he won't be on the bench for the final as he is still serving a touchline ban but the u.k. . surely be enough to motivate both sets of play is. right and there is just twenty minutes to go up before this exciting clash takes place

and our very own family russia is here from this force is good to see you and ladies teams are very different styles what can we expect so little definitely focus on their experience they've won this competition twice in the past eight years once with diego simeone already and they have one of the most solid defenses in all of europe adding on to their insane attack with costa fernando torres and i'm twenty greaseman as we saw in the video before that means they'll try to control the game in their half and then strike quickly. marsay on the other hand through their efforts into the off and a goal against them never really sets them back because they just keep fighting which they showed with their late winner against side splitting the semifinals now amar say are the underdogs in this in this match up what does it mean for the club and for the fans that they're back on the european stage no french club has ever actually won this competition so that would be huge for them and the last time that olympic must say won an international competition was before i was born so their fans are. going to be in the on in their home country and have the chance to win

this title now after their strong phase in the ninety's the club kind of stalled a little bit but last summer some investors came and spent some big money on fresh talent and it's definitely paid off it's paid off and now the lineup has of course already been announced what do you make of the teams there's no big surprises there in any case i'll be rooting for marsay because they're the underdogs and we all love a good story like that right out attacking football the way musée play is just fun both of them want to go. funk for time just announced a new head coach. has signed a three year contract replacing the outgoing. who will join byron munich cutter one of the swiss super league with young boys bearing the season the club's first time there would be two years on first are set to face by munich in the german cup final this very weekend. and more going to sleep good news their coach relf huston

have told is out at leipsic house and took over the club just after he was promoted to the first here in twenty sixteen and he guided leipsic to a surprise second place finish in that initial season this season though. and leipsic dropped to six while still managing a spot in the quarterfinals of the europa league also not so reportedly refused to stay without a contract extension beyond next season. here watching the w.'s we still have a long way to tell you about including it's estimated that eighty percent of women who migrate from nigeria to europe are forced to work as sex slaves while talk to one campaigner about his fight to put an end to the human trafficking network and in india the experience of flying while staying firmly on the ground. that a whole lot more coming up right after this. but

a good story when i hear it my name is elizabeth shaw and i work at c tell them. to take it back with us to washington we do some layla iraq in girl and these are minute stories of this our. european leaders are gathering in bulgaria for talks expected to be dominated by the u.s. is decision to quit the iran nuclear deal and the threat of u.s. tariffs on european steel meanwhile european council president donald tusk lashed out at president donald trump saying with friends like that it needs enemies. and the white house says it's unclear where there a plan summit with north korea will go ahead saying the u.s. still insists on denuclearization from prion yang of the north has already

counseled high level talks with seoul and threatened to pull out of a meeting with president trump if the u.s. demands it must get rid of its nuclear weapons. now they're promised a new life in europe barbara are more often than not forced to work as prostitutes well that's the experience of thousands of nigerian women every year the united nations estimates eighty percent of women arriving to europe from nigeria are forced to woo. work as sex slaves for years been in city in southern nigeria has had a reputation as a hub for human trafficking it used to be mainly young women who were smuggled more recently traffickers have expanded their network also in libya many migrants are held captive there and have to work as slaves or pay a ransom the injury has been stepping up efforts to help migrants were turned back home. well with me now in the studio is joseph she did

very he is fighting against human trafficking and nigeria through advocacy and training a very good evening at joseph it's great to have you here with this very harrowing and staggering statistics that we just mentioned why is it so difficult to stop human trafficking when you know it first from was a you know nigeria has the highest number of victims of human trafficking in africa and also the talking to want. detroit because you know very steven creative and we have to be most i don't blame you know why we plan to fight human trafficking also plan in new ways of traffic in chopping down victims and these what happened in judea and mossad because of did promote a cause which he snuck off social protection in nigeria because they've come to make them look this situation is it was their promised good life by the end of the day was life and you approach the problem is education what it costs you to

question always based on what i see there was life so the challenge was not in enjoying the lack of social protection but did make a very concrete for us just of what happens how do people fall prey to these cities traffickers what was it like a trajectory of of victim you know because of this situation in in nigeria and so many people who feel comfortable with what that springsteen and you know difficulties with economic. the food the best way to make it alive is to leave nigeria a most science this traffic has come to up to doing with nice stories about traveling on the cold so many promises of you know in making them live poverty and despair is a fake so that's promising jobs jobs for instance in your area for example we have a victim risk couldn't endure last year she was from is that we should give to mali not just europe in mali she going to be don't want ok we didn't why you should be

able to make money and help our family. look what's a save the only hope is to leave an injury on their wish it was you know put in order in a secluded places where she was three times before we rescued her she paid money what we should go dishy didn't she couldn't see what she was promised so they used different approaches to make the victims or divonne of was look you know a save the can only make it when when when when to travel out of nigeria so the traffickers exploit the vulnerabilities of these of these people take all their minding their lives on one code they have different ways the process the use the money because the cons of migration when the mic difficulty or devival wants to pay money to be taken to europe in between the travel they're spread it on the road what they are also a situation where the traffic go via the resources are when depressing good idea to

do comes and she becomes infected right so they have to pretty bad to have to pay back a new science is just huge amount of money forty five thousand in a year they're given targets already as it were targets and which makes them more vulnerable to death and in order for them to pay back their debt for they were doing have to do they have sawn them if there is i guess most especially to how to engage in prostitution forced prostitution because you know in nigeria we have so many of them in italian other countries who are evolving process. but what if the percent of girls who are trafficked are for prostitution on forced pornography i'm going of the demand as well because that's what they call black prostitution we demand is for to have sex with black people indeed look ten countries so i would put what joseph needs to be done urgently right now to stop these this awful experience that he's mostly a poem for me is a cost to address a lack of social protection in judea and then you don't people should also be equipped because you know and you know we have an issue east of the national parity

and days heidi need to not just need for politicians for politically does to make it a national priority this is something that affects if you want even the young people also as a musician when you do you want people to be at the forefront of combating you must have to because for us this is if if it is like a weapon against the future of young people i was going to keep silent would come if you don't do something something was to hop on a mountain and judas weep for victims so dies should be political will among political leaders in nigeria talk of human trafficking just thank you so very much and i see you you got a sign with you this is part of your business part of your i will focus you to engagement between them but i do think that a little bit to that can be great all right thank you so much joseph us legally and she did very for highlighting the plight of these nigerian and the people that are being exploited by human trafficking thank you very much. hard in other news that india has a booming aviation industry where dozens of low cost carriers offering flights

across the country but for many indians air travel still remains out of reach there are millions who simply just can't afford it well for there for them there are options that their options excuse me for those who may never get to take a real flight as our correspondent sagna found the car found out in delhi. the writer that. it's a deed these children will remember all the lights for many it's the first time aboard an aircraft. but this plane won't be taking off the flight to nowhere is an airline with a difference the woman operated on the only worth it officer passengers a taste of flying without ever leaving the ground. many schoolchildren here up were their families cannot afford a real ticket to the passengers are treated to a full in-flight experience they receive boarding cards safety briefings. even refreshments us of them board it's an eye opening experience. i've seen planes in

the sky i used to think they were really small but now i know they actually huge. i now want to fly to london i've heard that a beautiful things to see a city. some lucky passengers even get to visit the cockpit for what the man behind the project is behind the trunk gupta a retired aircraft engineer he sold his land and bought the decommissioned airbus a three hundred back in two thousand and three for six hundred thousand rupees that's about seven thousand euros a real bargain he charges people according to what they can afford as little as a few euro cents or even nothing at all for the very poor. i belong to a very small is good and i never expected i'll become an engineer in their life and then the people from my village there to save your place of their craft and they were not able to see that so that's the basic idea and visit you look at

motivation that i work. for people. air travel still remains a luxury for many people in india for those who may never get to take a flight this comes close to the real thing without leaving the ground and it's not the only place for it in delhi. not far away a busy main road that runs battlement to the runway davey's international airport. it's the perfect spot in the evening to watch planes land. trees double up the streets. it's all about getting the right back to what. for the poor migrant workers here shelling out for cars and groupies of fifty euros put a cheap flight ticket is beyond their means. it's my dream to someday take a plane and fly to my village in bihar but that's only if i manage to scrape enough money together for a ticket. further on at away because

regulars here swear this is the closest you can get as the two budgets take off. of gaza day in my village the planes fly really high up in the sky but from here you can see them up close it's an amazing feeling. i made him why did. we may not have the money for a plane ticket but that doesn't stop us from dreaming about what it must feel like to be up in the sky. back of the flight to nowhere passengers simulate an evacuation to finish the experience. rarely has an emergency situation seemed like so much fun. on fire now a new figures published this week facebook says it's gotten rid of over half a billion mostly fake accounts from its platform and crackdown on millions of abusive posts in the wake of a global data scandal the social media giant is trying to regain user stress but

the way ahead is still very very long. with me is because from social media you've been tracking this story half a million fake accounts yeah and that's actually it's the first time that facebook releases these kind of figures it's the first time the they disclose precise numbers about the content that they've been taking down from their platform and of course this comes you know facebook is under pressure at the moment. to show that the company is at least willing to be a little more transparent so reason those numbers also part of that effort to reassure people that they're trying to tackle their problems we can take a look at some of those key numbers that they've been releasing this week facebook says that in the first quarter of this year it has removed five hundred eighty three million fake accounts in the same period of time they say they have also

deleted eight hundred sixty five million posts mostly spam but also posts containing a new duty graphic violence hate speech and terrorism and now the company says that it was its artificial intelligence was able to detect the majority the vast majority of this content but they have admitted that they also have the i mean their system is still is not perfect yet they still struggle with particularly for example with hate speech so it's still it's a system that still needs a lot a lot of working on because they need monitors for that for you so that you can just have an al qaeda that i mean there are some some kind of content is really hard for. her identifying it needs a human intervention by human mongery that's a monstrous task in itself why is facebook sharing this information does it matter i mean as i mentioned earlier facebook and its a c.e.o.

mark zuckerberg are under tons of pressure at the moment from authorities from from users themselves after i mean we learn. earlier this year that data from millions of users has been fed to the cambridge analytics. company and you know so the i mean they are in the spotlight at the moment we just heard today that agreed to meet with the european parliament to answer is answer questions on the scandal so they are in the spotlight and they kind of need to give in a little bit here and there so that's why we get these kind of numbers i mean which are i mean we should appreciate because i mean they give us an inside we know more than we than we knew before but we still have to you know keep in mind that there are still many issues that facebook has to tackle and that we are also relying on them to self report which is a little bit of a problem since given their track record for the journal from d.w. social media thank you as always and we've got more biz now with how a home free and german investors are seeing plenty of business opportunities in

kenya they sure. are eyeing some of them hungrily many german investors nuking to secure a firm foothold in africa they're well aware that many countries in east africa are home to a wealth of opportunities we're talking about agriculture tourism and of course businesses with huge digital potential is something that china has long recognized and investors from china all securing contract off the contract that european ones might know how if the same lot if they treat africa like a kid they need to bring up that's according to one kenyan economist it's a topic being addressed at the conference of the german chambers of commerce support. mango juice made in kenya by machines made in germany a fruitful relationship for both sides the kenyan company and its been very empowered in the corners but german enterprises doing business in kenya are still the exception not the rule. generally germans always take longer to

invest they are there for the long time so they are very carefully checking the environment and the market. is africa is a new market so a lot of people are starting to look now that's because kenya has got the makings of an attractive trade and investment partner its economy has been steadily growing for years more than sixty percent of its population is twenty four younger and the east african country is strong and digitalization and boasts a thriving startup scene. china has long recognized these advantages it fosters trade with kenya and invests heavily into the region's infrastructure the chinese government for example financed the four billion dollar railway line connecting the capital nairobi to the port of mombasa europe is still stuck on that approach where they are the ones you know bringing up africa so africa is like

a kid to them that they need to bring up but then the changes don't look at africa like that they see opportunity this is people they can do deals with while europeans see people they need to help german development minister get miller wants to change that and replace development aid by economic cooperation but for that to work both german and african companies must be convinced that it benefits them. data privacy versus innovation europeans especially germans don't like companies gathering the information it's what is powered the tech giants in both the united states and china in particular and the only pride europe takes right now is we're taking the lead in regulation. europe has been left behind creating tech titans has so far proven the domain of the u.s. but china holding challenger status both countries have been able to take advantage of gigantic domestic markets targeted investment and the mastery of disruptive

industry if it means european companies get better at building socially responsible alternatives to today's big tech but will they. but will they well earlier we spoke to question of both the head of the german american chamber of commerce in san francisco for his take. look i mean silicon valley is a really unique ecosystem and i think especially the business to consumer companies that we're talking about that are in the news right now facebook google we did miss the boat on that i don't think we saw that as a viable business model in the beginning we're much more industrial focused and so i think that's where we're lagging and we're probably not in the space right now where we want to catch up in that particular segment. now in japan the economy shrank in the first quarter the government statistics show g.d.p. fell by zero point two percent compared to the previous quarter now hasn't been help spying to ration fears with consumers spending less money in industries staying away from new investments and it comes on the back of the country's longest

largest museum collections right here in the german capital it's a unique treasury that's overseen by the russian cultural heritage foundation. and there with me is that there rector of the film doc for a year congratulations on your documentary how did it take you to make this film well i've been working on it for more than two years but we're not finished yet ok because we have the premiere for the version that will open in cinemas tomorrow for t.v. like expand that to a two part documentary and that will keep us busy for at least till the end of the year now you had five million objects to choose from even more how did you narrow down though which one would make it into your film wall if you try to determine which ones are the most beautiful or most exciting objects you are lost already so we try to take viewers on them exciting

journey through the history of mankind and so we started out by asking ourselves what are the shoot topics and the big questions that occupy people's minds throughout history and probably in all cultures and obviously there are some very big questions like do we have to fear death what comes afterwards to very personal questions like do i look good today what is beautiful. or who am i what what makes my personality and so we try to select objects that commented on those kind of questions are all enough talking let's take a look at the fruits of your labor. the persian cultural heritage foundation has one of the world's largest collections comprising five million objects held by nineteen institutions in the german capital the film berlin's treasure trove brings them to life director doug heye as selected a few of those objects as starting points to explore big questions what is beauty

do we need to fear death co-produced by daughter bella and the german broadcasters are b.b. and outer the film premiered in berlin on tuesday evening it invites the audience on a journey through human history. you learn a great deal in museums and you get told stories and the better someone is at explaining those things the more fascinating it all is. what significance to these are treasures have for us today the film offers insight into a rich cultural heritage connecting us to the history of our ancestors many of the objects originate from other countries and were brought to berlin from asia south america or africa sometimes their history in provenance are problematic one example is a royal throne from cameroon lushly decorated with precious glass beads the film explores the items history and goes on a journey to its country of origin. keep us who saw. me do

theater. cue new theists do poorly. on a critic's the cameroonian royal thrown from the kingdom of was a diplomatic gift from king enjoy to kaiser wilhelm the second one of the consequences for us today it's in berlin legally but we have a responsibility to the museum and. the collection of the pression cultural heritage foundation is a living network it's continually being developed further with the help of new research this film allows the viewer to take part in the adventure of this vital process now berlin's treasure trove. on release in germany. the provenance of some of these objects as was evident in that report is problematic how did you deal with that whole topic well we chose that throne that we just saw from the king of the moon in cameroon as an example and we went to the royal palace

in the movement and to the. royal museum and we asked how they felt that the throne was in berlin. and you could sense that it is a very sensitive issue but they could have told us in this situation well we'd love to have the film back but. they seem to have a different priority because they are very interested in intensifying the cultural dialogue with germany again and they perceive the throne as kind of the ambasador here in germany to remind us that behalf of shared. history and both of our countries need to continue that history in a positive way and of providence research. brings up intensify cultural dialogue in this way i think that's a very positive thing and i guess that way the problematic objects in the

collections can be the most powerful objects in the collection because they can actually open up a new chapter of dialogue between us and the cultures and countries where these objects originally came from now where while you were working on the film were there certain objects that surprised you. and some of the things that really struck you well i told you that our concept was to come up with questions. for me it was fascinating that we could find objects for all of these question i guess we can have a look at them one of them this is a painting that you can see in the magic got to be the portrait of. painted by hans holbein in the early sixteenth century and you can see this wealthy. merchant who shopped for surrounds himself with very very precious objects is like a high tech product your face sitting right in front of him on the table clock and

also the carpet on the table is incredibly beautiful o'donnell and what i want to wrap it up on first because we ran out of time i was going to tell you the kitchen it could could just be our next door to see them in original office sorry to cut thank you so much for spending this part of it that's. cool.
