9:09 am
monday he was here in berlin to talk to german chancellor angela merkel it was their first meeting since the united states pulled out of the iran nuclear deal thursday it's no ordinary day when israel's prime minister visits but then police were on the highest alert and there were demonstrations by both pro and anti israel groups but it's the timing of the visit that's most crucial iran is high on netanyahu the gender more specifically iran nuclear deal german chancellor angela merkel would like to see the agreement remain intact netanyahu thinks president trump was right when he withdrew from the deal netanyahu is calling on merkel and her european counterparts to really impose sanctions on iran. you cannot pressure economic sanctions on iran break this cash machine that feeds the rhenium empire that in dangerous everybody endangers israel but indirectly also in dangerous germany and europe netanyahu claims that iran finances its fight against israel
9:10 am
with the money adams on the terror run is continuing its work on a nuclear bomb. macko objected maintaining that the nuclear deal has ensured transparency. but she did see some danger in iran's nuclear ambitions and promised to work against them. he thought nonetheless we believe that we share the goal of preventing iran ever having nuclear weapons and where we have differences of opinion is the question of how we passed achieve that i can get on with. despite their differences machall and netanyahu emphasized the good relationship that two countries enjoy i denounced a visit by the german government to israel in october. more on the israeli prime minister's european tour we have simon young our political correspondent with us here in studio morning simon so netanyahu would like european leaders to withdraw their support for the around nuclear deal did chancellor merkel
9:11 am
show any sign of budging not not very much sign the chancellor acknowledge that iran is a threat in both countries see it that way and i'm going back a little so he said that more needs to be done to counter iran's ballistics missile program which of course is very worrying to israel which says that iran has fired rockets into its territory but but then even that's in yahoo really wants much more pressure to be put on terror romney wants a much tougher line from germany and the other european countries and of course he wants them to reject that iran nuclear deal but he came to berlin with this narrative that he's got that in fact the deal because it lifts sanctions on iran is helping them to fund what he says is an attempt to comb could be in time middle east to ferment religious war between sunnis and shias in countries like syria yemen and so on so he painted a very sort of grisly picture of how things might play out if the deal goes ahead
9:12 am
because the europeans see it very differently the europeans. how unified are they simon in their support for the around nuclear deal now that the u.s. has pulled out well i think the in particular of the capitals berlin paris and london where mr that's you know who's heading on to are committed to the deal by say it's the best way forward to control iran's nuclear ambitions it provides a framework and indeed it is pull iran back from the brink of getting a nuclear weapon they say and at the same time i think there is some skepticism here about the u.s. position of course president trump as a band of the deal but people say you know can he really solve the nuclear issue on the korean peninsula and in the middle east at the same time people say that maybe even the u.s. is a bit of a stretch ok that's the nuclear deal that that's not all that netanyahu is talking
9:13 am
european leaders about the u.s. has now recognized jerusalem as israel's capital officially and moved its embassy there hasn't quite opened it fully yet but it's moved it there this of course is a provocative move for some particularly the palestinians is germany likely to follow suit and move its embassy to jerusalem as well no absolutely not because of course germany like most of the other western countries remains committed to the status of jerusalem as set out by the united nations and they think it's a very dangerous move and of course that was also a reference yesterday to the conflict between israel and the palestinians with the man who for instance pointing to what's been going on in gauze of the tensions on the board of a and saying of course there should be criticism of attacks from hamas but also saying more needs to be done to alleviate the situation of ordinary gazans so she
9:14 am
takes a very balanced view and the german. the embassies absolutely stays in tel aviv so the u.s. has moved its embassy to jerusalem and scrapped the nuclear deal all this is music to netanyahu ears relations between the us and israel have improved on the basis of trucks coming into power can the same be said about relations between israel and europe well at least as far as gemini goes where we are in a situation of improving relations that were real tensions last year with france's meetings being broken off between the prime minister netanyahu and the german foreign minister when he was in israel but things have been getting a lot better and indeed government consultations a meeting of the two cabinets which had been cooled off last year people said because of tensions over the palestinian conflict that's back on is due to be held in israel in october simon thank you much as ever d.w.

public sector with some people expecting a presidential run in twenty twenty is an outspoken critic of u.s. president donald trump and he might run against him as a democrat. it's world environment today day to day but it is not a day to celebrate the united nations has called it a planetary crisis plastic pollution is fast becoming very environmental issue of our time plastic is popular for its jura billeted but it takes hundreds of years for it to decompose meaning more and more plastic waste is littering our planet and the make culprits are disposable single use plastic items which make a part of all the plastic we use in particular plastic bottles and plastic bags around the world some one million plastic drinking bottles and one million plastic bags are purchased every minute and it's our oceans that to suffer the most from
9:19 am
this plastic epidemic altogether up to thirteen million tons of plastic are washed into the sea every year smothering coral reefs and threatening vulnerable marron wildlife only last week a pilot whale has died in thailand and he was found to have eight kilograms of plastic waste in its stomach including eighty plastic backs about whale is only the latest victim of our throw away society one solution to the problem could be bioplastics. after twenty one days in the total darkness of a refrigerated warehouse this end dive is ready for sale but only the pale green leaves the thick root is waste but that's exactly what dominic bruce is looking for the scientist takes a few of the plants to his lab. for views than his team the chicory root is an important component for producing bio plastics it's much more sustainable than conventional ones. so when they're growing the salad anyway
9:20 am
so we're not even taking space away from food production it's a byproduct we're dealing with but instead of simply throwing it away we're able to turn it into something wonderful yeah the death of an. chunks of chicory root are put into an industrial pressure cooker. hot water and high pressure turn its fruit sugar into an organic compound for plastic production. shows us how quickly a plastic thread can be made and there are all sorts of practical applications for the high quality plastics produced from the roots. since i'm biased but it has great sealing properties and that means for example we can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide that leaks out of the soft drink and the amount of oxygen that would enter traits from the air it think if you think in other words it keeps it fizzy
9:21 am
and fresh for much longer the plastic created by the scientists is easy to recycle but not biologically degradable like these plates are produced by b.s.f. the european commission wants to ban conventional plastic cutlery the plates decay but for various that's not necessarily an advantage. there's a big downside to biologically degradable plastic like poly lack tile. at the moment it's segregated from general. sticks and doesn't end up in a composting plant it ends up being incinerated instead. scientists are also discussing the advantages and disadvantages of plastic in general for domini grooved the consumer plays a central role. our plastic saves the world in general you have to teach consumers how to use less plastic that means getting out an old jew and buying at the farmers next door. in your. name. but for those
9:22 am
without it bad chicory plastic is the next best thing. this is a off palma on the spanish island of has decided that from july the first residential apartments can no longer be rented out to tourists now the measure aims to fight mass tourism in the summer and stop rising rents a travel as enjoy staying in apartments instead of hotels and some fear of the measure could end up harming the island's tourism industry the last guest has just left and asked to hurl a bet is giving her vacation home ready for the next holiday makers the meal connective is allowed to rent out the house that belonged to her grandparents even after the first of july when i went there fortunately this is a detached house and although it still belongs to palma i was able to get a license. here. the ban doesn't apply to esther because it only
9:23 am
affects apartments. she should be pleased because the scarce supply means there's more demand for her house but she shakes her head i think they're going there contrary i think the tourists are freed you've heard that a lot is changing here and i think that scares them off this is not me your car is just beginning and the capital palma there's no sign of tourists it's quiet. but the island government's chief tourist officer defends the new rules and points up the mood in society. a best vantage vos a young quite a few voices in the lyric islands who agree that we can no longer grow in summer. this is a serious issue because our primary objective is sustainability and that's why we can take more people in the summer so we can distribute them better throughout the year but not in summer than in my skin timid and so what is the point of the ban
9:24 am
it's not that private rentals and palm are only forbidding and some are. now there has sprout represents five hundred landlords and strongly criticizes the ban. it was the first time in history that the profits of tourism were whitely distributed in society the middle class benefited from it and with the new restrictive rules with these bans they managed to get profits back into the hands of the big hoteliers. as expected spanish hotel chain really hotel supports the new rules if some more cautiously. years ago and it was this business that made it and after this first summer we will see what the new measures will bring we believe that this is fear that the number of private rental should be controlled as well as the quality and taxation of this terrorist space notice. you know what it is because that's what many think in palmer itself boston restaurants are already complaining that gas numbers are the
9:25 am
creasing maybe the holiday apartment seekers have been scared away. well now i really would like to know that interesting postscript to the champions league final which was so dramatic terry dramatic final and very interesting postscript it must be said monica spitz doctors say two huge mistakes by liverpool goalkeeper laurie scullery is in their champions league final defeat to real madrid could have been because of concussion the german was caught on the head by rail of captain sergio ramos minutes before his first blunder which allowed the spaniards to take the lead in european soccer showpiece last month he later made another error which gave ryall a three one victory canniest was distraught afterwards and underwent medical checks last week in boston where liverpool's owners are based. well german fans and media are still trying to come to terms with coach. dropping young forward
