economy is not that well you see a lot of factories shutting down moving to southeast asia moving to. move into gear now moving to indonesia malaysia those areas you see especially in the tomato paste business you see a lot of pressure moving to africa countries. but so were the world the first who took in this stuff to establish our presence was closer to the market. can chinese tomatoes are cheaper than fresh tomatoes grown in ghana. so purchasing chinese tomatoes destroys the local market that. i find in the morning hundreds of workers head to the to martin fields of southern italy. most come from africa their journey across the mediterranean ended here. to survive they have no choice but to harvest tomatoes.

mussa semen and mohamed so late man came here from saddam in search of a better life. they've been living here for a few years already often working under the most difficult conditions it's all about due to the media. i led libya with other migrants landed first in sicily and found how difficult it was to get work. on up this is the only work we can do that's all when i was. illegally without a contract but you know always off the books. the same for the love of money at all . including many

thousands of migrants labor in the fields. here the harvest is still done by hand. there is no room or money for machines many come from africa others come from india romania and bulgaria they are paid an average of twenty euros a day for ten to twelve hours of work under a blazing sun. to me and on us about a month that when i go to the supermarket and i look at a bottle of tomato sauce i think the people who buy this can or bottle have no idea what lies behind it it's you want to stop this is a form of modern day slavery we die for the harvest here can be did i call. it the cause of you to me. the most terrible thing i experienced was when a young man from my country called mohammed died while he was picking tomatoes right next to me. i mean when i get so i guess they are going to go under by my

door it was forty degrees celsius he had no water and was working too hard on already i heard the cries and screams and looked up and i saw that he had fallen. and when i approached him i heard the other saying he was already dead there was nothing we could do more i don't know. what i do not in a field you can't call out an ambulance we don't have that right the rights of for other people not money easy stuff. in order to also even think will be a morass red gold has become a nightmare i feel the bosses are trading in blood. my second to

me i'm. not somebody that my daughter into going in my opinion the heads of the businesses are guilty. but wrongly could just go where the governments will start or. even allow call their own field to letting people work like this might slaves with no human rights. since they breed. today the layman works for various corporate image that produced mainly for the german market. for me tomatoes now have a bitter aftertaste taste of economic forces that concentrate profits in the hands of a few to the detriment of many. the constant demand for profit among major tomato produces has laid the groundwork for a brutal labor market especially in low wage countries. global

demand for tomatoes is growing by nearly three percent a year with no end in sight. if the chinese begin to consume tomato products demand will explode a prospect that new year welcomes. what they want and yes yes i believe that in five or six years the next generation of children who grow up eating fast food and with the rising standard of living on the pace of life in china tomato products will eventually enter the chinese market in korea and japan the average consumption is eight to nine kilos per person and germany and the us ten imagine an average consumption of seven or eight kilos of tomato products in china which has a population of one point three billion that's ten billion kilos a year that's why i believe that growth prospects in this industry are huge and of course going to ha.

how the germans came together in one nation from shanda munyon to chancellor although from bismarck. the history of the germans has been shaped by great coolers . ice well always to bring my royal college of that to protect christendom and spread find truth. they keep things we learn to focus on. are we talking about people the enemy in tom the lead. and steered by courageous decisions close to the town halls this week show your mastery reserve or seize the crown of our rome from god and not from his presumptuous servant of. this holy sacrament meeting tomorrow we will have defeated the enemy all will never see one another again but. we must repeat.

i'm dr thomas a very warm welcome to the show u.s. president donald trump has repeated his sharp criticism of germany for not paying enough for its own defense during a white house meeting with the nato secretary general the president singled out germany for profiting from nato while at the same time paying the russians billions for energy supplies now his comments come as chance along the machall meets today with russian president vladimir putin in tsotsi they'll be talking about iran and russia's expansion of a natural gas pipeline to germany let's take a listen to trump's comments yemeni must demonstrate leadership in the alliance by addressing its longstanding shortfall in defense contributions germany has not contributed what it should be contributing and it's a very big beneficiary far bigger than the united states frankly. in addition to that as you know that by massive amounts of gas from russia. paying.

billions of dollars ok let's go now for more to sochi on this president's comments coming just as the german chancellor and the russian president meet their insults you for talks such a focus on bilateral issues including iran's nuclear deal we're bringing in emily share one from one this good morning emily the u.s. president there attacking germany for as economic ties to russia how strong is that bilateral relationship right now. but of course trump is right to mention those strong economic ties germany is russia's second biggest trading partner and trade between the two countries actually increased last year and there's also this nord stream to project which is a pipeline that is supposed to run from russia through the baltic sea and increase oil and gas exports from russia to germany that's in the works but politically

there are of course still huge stumbling blocks between the two countries in particular ukraine is the main stumbling block the illegal an accession of crimea in two thousand and fourteen still very much hangs over the relationship between america and putin like a specter and it doesn't seem that putin is backing down on that at all in fact just before americans visit to sochi puts in kind of bombastically opened the bridge that connects russia has been building that is going to connect or that connects now the crimean peninsula to the russian mainland in a kind of huge celebration but there also has been a huge amount of contact between the two countries ahead of this visit head of miracles visit here and such he the the foreign minister came the economic affairs minister came so it does seem that the two open the two countries are open for

dialogue despite the difficulties ok there are a lot of stumbling blocks as you mentioned let's take a look now at a report and we will be talking more on this complex relationship. it's an extremely complex relationship. friend enemy partner adversary. this man's action binds them together since us president trump withdraw from the iran deal germany and russia have been sitting in the same boat both want to save the agreement moscow friendly politicians in germany view this as a time for a new beginning with russia. today there back in the game in the middle east there will be no issue that cannot be resolved without the russians this must guide us instead of saying they're not friendly to us. lately russia has not appeared at all

friendly towards europe. the german bundestag political parties and the government were hacked by russian state agencies germany is now convinced of this at a meeting in berlin the british intelligence chief condemned russia one of the kremlin's central and entirely admirable is to build russian greatness on the world stage but it's repeated choices have been a few that aim through aggressive and initial actions by its military and intelligence services. the low point being glitch town all solsbury a former russian agent and his daughter were poisoned. the british intelligence service convinced its western partners that russia was behind the attack. his first ever use of nerve gas on european soil since the second world war seems to have created

a mood of enough is enough. of. the non european counterpart to salzburg the duma in syria. russia's partner but charlotte assad is suspected of using chemical weapons shocking germany and its allies. we are all. we also have the knowledge that russia as an ally of asset shares responsibility in connection with the poison gas attack in syria. there's no question about that and hard. in general with russia we are experiencing various actions directed at breaking international law or the aims of international law. supporting assad in syria for instance but that does not change the fact that russia is an important political entity in europe. this week vladimir putin dedicated a bridge connecting russia to crimea the ukrainian peninsula the germany views as

having been illegally onix by moscow. it's a move that only adds to the complexity of the relationship. ok i'm lee could iran be the topic where these two leaders come together and cut through all these differences and find some common ground. well iran is definitely going to be high up on the agenda for these meetings and of course both russia and germany are looking to salvage this deal and russia could be a key a key factor in this because they have been close partners with iran in syria they've both been fighting on the side of the assad regime on the side of the syrian government so let merkel will be likely looking to leverage that today ok we heard from the top of the show with transatlantic relations souring as they are right now could such you mark a restart in the raso german relationship. well

we saw there that of course there are a lot of differences politically there are a lot of stumbling blocks including ukraine but of course the threat of a trade war between the e.u. and the us and also this move of the on the u.s. side of leaving the iran deal has almost pushed russia and germany a closer together and you know russia it seems in comparison to trump you know putin is maybe a difficult partner a partner where you know not always the morals and the value is aligned between the two countries but at least he is predictable and a little bit more perhaps reliable than trump across the atlantic and we share one all of those talks and so she said well much more from tsotsi and those talks get underway thanks very much and we'll have more as well in our business news with gary hart later in this program on economic aspects of stocks for some of the other

summit of islamic states to discuss the bloodshed in gaza he reacted with fury earlier this week to the killings accusing israel of quote genocide is common sparked a diplomatic crisis between turkey and israel let's bring in d.-w. correspond dorian jones now joins us from istanbul dorian why is turkey positioning itself as the champion and defender of the palestinian people. currently leads the organization of islamic cooperation which is called for this emergency summit of leaders of the of the islamic world here in turkey but beyond that president one from the very beginning of his political career has put as a key central pillar of his policies the fending the rights of the islamic people firstly here in turkey but there's gradually party became stronger in government they've rejected that policy across the middle east and it's seen as a key part of that is supporting the palestinians in particular close links with

hamas in fact the key figures of hamas are reportedly being based now here in istanbul but also beyond that supporting the muslim brotherhood part of this policy of turkey position of countries like saudi arabia and egypt who see the muslim brotherhood as a terrorist organization but that doesn't bother turkey turkey sees its natural writers are one of the largest muslim countries in the region that it is a powerful country and it's there to protect their islamic people both here in turkey but also across the region ok now this summit of islamic states is to be accompanied by some massive demonstrations in support of the palestinians. well that's right a massive rally is being called here in the stands all to run parallel was this meeting hundreds of thousands possibly even a million people could gather at this meeting or the earth was a cave parties or has a very efficient organization of mobilizing its people and this we have to be seen in the context that turkey is in the midst of general and presidential elections

next month and president one is facing a very strong challenge now and this will be a golden opportunity for him to reassert his position as a man who represents and defends the rights of islamic people here in turkey they are a very powerful constituency ers one knows he needs to get them mobilized and for the first time he's facing a challenge from of all parties for that voting base this is an opportunity for him to present a massive image of him defending the rights of muslim people yes in palestine but the message will also be clear that i'm a defender of your rights here in turkey as well and this is will be seen for will be placed as seen as an election rally in many ways they will disappear that are undoubtedly this is seen as a golden opportunity for one to to get this message across a defender of the muslim rights at a time when he is facing growing economic crisis problems with a currency parting it certainly has changed the conversation for today during john's covering the summit of

a smaller space for us an example today thanks very much for. this is news still to come the show a new eruption. ok now is sending a cloud of ash about an kilometers in the sky. let's go to gary hart now on the putin talks in sochi today are getting a lot of tension in the business world for the putin have a lot to talk about today many european small and medium sized businesses are doing business in russia and it's not getting any easier creasing the confused by all those sanctions and counter measures that are being slung around between the u.s. russia and the you didn't hear about an ever changing political landscape makes investing and doing business in general increasingly difficult. german wholesaler mexico has a big presence in russia but of late business has been flagging this week the

company announced billions in losses attributed in part to a decline in consumer spending in russia fears over the state of the russian economy have left german businesses on edge. many european companies now find themselves stuck in the middle of a flurry of sanctions and counter sanctions there are some u.s. sanctions on russia that european companies have to comply with in order to keep doing business in the u.s. but the same firms could also face repercussions from russia for complying and other thawing of what some see as a skimmer a global trade war. let's discuss this global trade war that's looming with the source of german channels of commerce and industry. things for joining us let's talk about western companies in russia one concern for them is the weakening economy than sanctions flying backwards and forwards i'm not helping either can you explain how that impacts on business. german business in

russia is heavily engaged and heavily invested the german businesses more than five thousand companies are active in russia and they are employing almost three hundred thousand and police in the country and in times of sanctions and counter sanctions and all that threats so there's a lot of a lot at stake he explained how all this is getting incredibly complicated you human you know sanctions linebacker's voice you don't have any idea where they're coming from and what they are related to anymore what how does it work we are affected by sanctions of the us against russia due to the meddling by the russians into the us election campaigns and they strengthen sanctions in april regarding this and these secondary. effects to european and german business to the project

cannot seem to d.d. gas pipeline project then there are sanctions or stepping out of the nuclear deal of the us. with iran and so the question is how do we keep this deal alive and be dampened sanctions off of the european union against iran and then we have to the problem with the eastern ukraine and the established sanctions of the european union against russia just explain how the broader picture is it is indeed a very broad picture but. what business is expecting now from the governments what are german businesses for example expecting to discuss with to be booted today so we live in times where the political influence is to the business is very strong and the new currency seems to us as sanctions and. tariffs. not

seen in the last let's say fifty years saul so therefore it's absolutely helpful that there is a platform of communication between the two leaders and we need a better relationship between the european union germany and russia because there are so many projects and and so many sanction regimes taking place and affecting business or at least threatening the business. so and we do hope of really positive outcomes and one as aspect is to mention german business is so much affected in this us sanctions against russia and the strengthening of this action in april and in the duma in the russian parliament they are discussing about counter sanction measures and this will bring really major burden to german business in russia and many shops are at stake internet if

you look at the situation today international trade used to be comparatively easy is it all down to donald trump i know it's not. trump. catalyzing the problem he is really. bringing a lot of trouble but there are other political conflicts at the very first moment i think about an action of the crimea or the conflict in eastern ukraine so this has nothing to do with donald trump but donald trump has really has really speed up this process of uncertainty in business thank you very much for coming to the studios want. now we're talking about being. pollinated seventy off around one hundred species that feed ninety percent of the world this is why it was decline and the population has experts worried many factors are playing the dying of the bees and insecticides are thought of play

a key role you court now held of ban on three kinds of insecticides which are thought to be harmful to be the companies that make the chemicals insist their products are safe for internet the fact that even the courts said the european union's precautionary principle meant you could on the side of caution. it's a good day to be a b. in the european union from now on they'll be spared the threat of death from three types of chemicals known as nean nicotine oids. so nearly got the nights are some of the most toxic insect he says that have ever been produced plan put into the market. they are very remote into their environment so we can use them one day and then for months they're going to be there they are what they are so we were so we cannot control where they go unsurprisingly the companies that make the insecticides don't agree they include pharmaceutical giants buyer to keep their

chemicals and syngenta they accuse the european food and safety agency of using excessively high doses in the bar treat tests but the court maintained that the original ban on the three new nicotine oit's dating back to twenty thirteen should be upheld as a precautionary measure is enables authorities to take action to protect human health and the environment even in the case of scientific uncertainty. bees play a vital role in crapolla nation but in recent years their numbers have dwindled dramatically something being blamed on the in the katyn oit's the losses have been so bad that the alarm has been raised over the potential impact on food supplies the matter if necessarily settled yet though companies have two months to decide whether to lodge an appeal if they do so it will be up to the e.u.'s highest court to decide whether the ban is to be or not to be. the khans on has started for
