this is day w newsline from almost a year after three chapters from the islamic state militant group iraqi city of mosul is still in roots in our exclusive report to the people clearing the corpses that still lie i'm there to broker more than a thousand times and we come from suffolk also on the program. the death toll in guatemala volcanic eruption crisis from crisis until forty cent least sixty nine people looked at rescue workers still hope to find some people alive.

i'm behind scenes of a rocket launched a doubling of visits up by couldn't stop us an international space station crew passed a plus two. plus tim pawlenty for pass for its first elections the troubled mccarthy was ousted from power as the country gets set to head to the polls next month to meet the young voters who could shape its future couple from our correspondent. on issues international architecture exhibition looks at the future of public spaces for my culture desk. on the phone to share. i'm still gal welcome to the program. it's almost a year since iraqi troops retort the northern city of mosul from islamic state you harvests most was one of iraq's biggest cities and strategically important because

of its oil deposits despite this much of the old city still lies in ruins and amid the rubble there are still corpses d.w. reporter jeff up to karim has been speaking to aid workers in mosul and sent us this exclusive report we pixilated some of the more disturbing images. the smell of death is everywhere old mosul is like an open air symmetry nearly a year after the battle between the so-called islamic state and iraqi troops and their corpses still fill the streets. we need to meet the young nurse has volunteered to help remove the bodies. and this old house in this room we found one hundred fifty corpses they were all shot in the head they're not all here yes. the stench is hard to take it fills your nostrils and chill now because we took away all of audience time we burned the room and to

sanitize it but how did they also that because they were laying down one on top of another man the women and children. there are still bones here they were stuck to the blankets. anyone passing by can see the corpses under the rubble. hats with the bodies. a girl's hair still stuck to her are by. the volunteers have removed one thousand three hundred fifty bodies so far. the old city in mosul was and i asked stronghold sometimes they also find dead fighters. in muswell isis was responsible for your sister's death correct the one initially and today you are removing the bodies of some of their fighters what goes through your mind when you do this. you know this is their place this is where they deserve

to end up ahead of us my sister said she has a grave i can visit her to find his remains and that without a grave the fact that i get to remove their bodies is my biggest revenge that fighting them with a weapon is exactly what they want. they want us to be inhumane they want us to fight each other. it's life threatening work for the volunteers there could be unexploded bombs anywhere they have why don't you wait till the area is secure lot and then remove the bodies here let them we're not security officials many times nobody wants to do this and no one wants to come here. families can't identify their loved ones because of the lack of forensic medicine. he has used to have you met people hunting for their relatives and i've seen women all the men who come looking for their dead children they say their children died here

but they're not sure if this is the exact place because everything's been obliterated. what shocks you about all of this it is the bodies of women children the little brothers may even maul is that no one asks about them not even the government. three thousand people remain missing their bodies likely somewhere here beneath the rubble. the report was produced by a korean who joins me now welcome back to the end of your report there you asked one of the workers what what shocked them most what shocks you going in from the outside. what shocked me most is to see that you as a human have no value at all no dignity no respect for humanity you're almost nothing no one cares who you are no one cares if you're a dead body to be buried because even when you die you have dignity no one cares

about anything concerning you as a human being. and people who are searching for their loved ones are left alone no one asks them no one supports them which is according to my opinion is of her eighties and government should support these people. what shocks me is to see a very big area which is totally destroyed and you see dead bodies lying around and these bodies have sister father mother brother or you're simply left alone and and no one cares you know you go as you think there's a humanity people's right here when rights someone who deserves to be trees in a definite way when you lose someone you have to right to get the body and there everything is got it like you're simply speechless and that's what really makes you ask

a lot and appreciate the work these volunteers are doing because they're doing this on zero and what happens to the bodies of those volunteers recover. according to what sue told us they sometimes they are picked up by the authorities sometimes not because they put them on the side as we saw in the report and sometimes they are being heard in a mass grave. and no one asks about them and this you could see when you talk to the citizens when you talk to the people who lost their loved ones and they are searching for their loved ones according to what they said there's no d.n.a. test so you don't know that the family member you lost are they bear it or their life or their missing are they somewhere still under captive of someone captured you don't know and it's really when you when you see what's going on on the ground you're simply shocked because no one is taking care of it and you say the record

all we hear in the report that the author says are unwilling to secure the area in order that the bodies can be recovered safely why. according to what i heard from the people that the authorities you know when we did this report it was around three weeks ago it was they lection time so that people and the authorities are making a campaign an election campaign and four volts and two to entertain the people so with this topic you cannot support you can again voices according to what people told us decide as you have a very high corruption in iraq and also in mosul and so the money if there is money send according what the governor said we talked to the governor in a talk show and he said no one is sending money but in case there is monies and they are not being used at the right place for the right people and to bury the bodies so they are different different different causes are arguments they are

being said but at the end there is no argument when you see a place the way we're seeing now behind us which is ruin and rubbles and dead bodies on the ground and since eight months there should be no excuse whatever day excuses so just really not even reading that closely between the lines you seem as critical of the authorities in mosul now as. i asked who we presume that is because because you know when. talking to the authorities when talking to the government we're talking even to the governor they are saying we are the one who were able to get out of mosul for what after i us there's a big there's a disaster on the ground there are people what should be more dead bodies lying around and no one's taking about taking care about them and when we had the talk show and the governor was there and he met seward through that we saw and in the in the in the report after that they had to talk and he said he denied at the beginning saying no there are no that bodies and then we showed this report and it had an influence that they started

a campaign and said ok because the media was there international media was there so they started a campaign to bury did do once. a very moving report we thank you for bringing that to us. kareen thank you thank you. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu france's president emanuel macro call for iran to get out of syria mr netanyahu is in paris as part of a tour of europe and convincing leaders to follow in the steps of the u.s. and abandon an international nuclear deal with iran european leaders including french president are trying to salvage the deal. w. correspondent lisa lewis joins us from the french capital welcome at least there was a joint press conference which is just finished what was said. well both leaders were talking about regional stability but in a very different way whereas mark harmon a mark on the french president said you know we need to bring people to table to

talk about peace in syria we also need to think about peace in israel and we obviously need to change the iran nuclear danger to prolong it cetera to keep it alive the israeli leader was talking a lot tougher way he was saying you know we need to defend our country obviously we want regional stability but these people are attacking us and when it comes to the iran deal he said you know and i haven't asked him i'm not calling to drop the deal here but basically economic matters i'm taking care of it given that the french proved to tire and here's a car maker recently announced that they would withdraw from iran because they were afraid of u.s. sanctions he seems to be thinking that you know that's going to take care of it anyway and thirty years well be dropped anyway so given that everybody knows where mr netanyahu stands everybody knows where the french president as well as the german chancellor on their british prime minister whom mr netanyahu will visit

tomorrow everybody knows where they all stand what is mr netanyahu hoping to achieve. missin and netanyahu he's here on his europe to. european leaders actually he wants to defend himself which he did today when you said you know we were doing these two months the past few months when israeli forces shot protesters they shot them you know sort of up one more than one hundred twenty curtis's were shot dead in protests at the border to gather that and he was basically saying that these people were terrorists and we needed to defend ourselves he wants to keep talking to european leaders you want to tell them you know we have the right to do that because we are under attack and mr for he wants to turn them you know keep out of our business keep out of our metis we will take care of things i'm speaking of israel of course or syria the conference in syria very much on the israel's in israel's a backyard france is also involved in the conflict also has an interest there with

able to agree on that while there's this one thing obviously israel is strongly opposed to iran and france is also fighting with the west and coalition in syria so france has been leading asked in syria and so they're both for iran to leave syria and that's what they can agree on really listen listen paris thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world russia's president vladimir putin has told austria's of president sebastian courts that his country is interested in repairing ties with the e.u. is the pertinent has been meeting with austrian leaders on his first foreign trip since his reelection but he also calls for europe to lift sanctions against russia . the king of jordan has appointed the country's education minister out as the new prime minister. will form a new government today after the resignation of his previous s.-a. amid massive

protests the king has instructed our results to review changes to the country's tax system and issue that spot he said mass demonstrations. movie producer harvey weinstein has pleaded not guilty to charges of rape and sexual assault and if he's free into court in new york the charges involve two separate women used the first cases to come to court and scores of women went public last year accusing mr weinstein of sexual misconduct of a decades he denies any wrongdoing. of the death toll from guatemala as devastating volcano eruption has lived risen to sixty nine well thought is a warning that the number is in is likely to increase as rescue workers continue their search was a mahler's volcanic delf way go on volcano of fire as one of central america's most active sunday's eruption was its biggest for more than forty years president jimmy brown this is to create a state of emergency in calls for three days of mourning. everyone.

amid the tragedy there are moments like this. when a baby pulled alive from the wreck of a mountainside home then i don't know. colleagues to come over to share in a moment that makes this complex rescue effort all worth while. you know i think about what i worry about but i guess. this is a risky operation more eruptions could happen at any time rescuers are having to tread quickly and carefully over still smoldering terrain. the weather could also hinder their efforts in what is a race against time. spec that during the next five days it will rain harder which could become a problem. if. there's a danger of mudslides because of all the debris from the volcano that's been left in the ravines and the rivers. sunday's eruption caught many by surprise the

first explosion was followed by a strong second one people scrambling for cover searing hot hash gas and other dead barrels down the mountain in a toxic mix that made this eruption particularly dangerous. and this was the grim aftermath of dead bodies so thickly coated with ash they resembled statues in some cases the task of identifying bodies dead or alive almost impossible. one grandchild fifteen and another eight year old. that's what i see if i could. oh dear lord i have nothing i don't even have clothes to change into. scene from the size of the affected area becomes clear. there will be three days of

national mourning. the funerals here have already started but as the charms of finding survivors diminishes there are likely to be many more to come. business news we have how they are gate us now on the west once again being accused of failing to deliver on its promises to the african continent that's right so it's not the first time and we've certainly heard a lot of promises not german and african representatives of the private and public sectors are meeting in berlin for the african meats business conference this tuesday an initiative that is supposed to spur investment in the african countries but if you think you've heard this before yes the conference comes a year after germany led the g twenty group with ambitious plans for private investments in the continent but its critics expected that the time little has been done. kenya based kevvy on turns delicious mangoes into juice and creates many jobs at the same time the technology is from

a german company and the necessary loan from the german state kevvy on employs some six hundred people and still has ambitious goals who want to be their own company produce thing here at three g.'s these. we want to be proud want to be sure about the new exporting through. that is everywhere you look german industry wanted to bolster the successful model at the german african economic forum in february twenty seventh teen company bosses spoke of the enormous potential of african markets german politicians promised to provide generous funding for investment in that in god we have to tell german firms that we will support them with loan guarantees if they want to do something in an african country that lend courage more of them to take risks. as german chancellor angela merkel hosts another africa summit this month the continent's leaders are confused three german concepts to help africa have been unveiled compact with africa

a marshall plan for africa and pro africa merkel has promised a new era for relations but critics say she's responsible for the current confusion machall stated if there is hopelessness in africa young people will look for better perspectives elsewhere if we work with you for the benefit of your countries we're going to create more security for ourselves and we'll put an end to trafficking but as business leaders and politicians meet today frustration remains germany still doesn't have a unified africa strategy. is the former head of the german engineering association he used to promote projects in africa and experienced firsthand the administrative confusion. that's because the film says we have bonded me we need an incredible amount of time and the projects are very slow and when we wanted to introduce a meaningful vocational training project to three countries in africa it took four years to implement it. or yes. man that's.

it appears that juice producer kevin yon could remain an exception if a major africa strategy isn't unveiled soon. and that certainly is a very difficult task for more on the subject i'm now joined by chris of kind of these are general manager of the german african business association thanks very much for joining us here on the w. have you been learning now let's start with this strategy that germany is trying to follow to spur investment growth in africa because it's moving away from traditional age development or development a rather going forward leaving it essentially to the private sector to create growth and better economic conditions do you think that's the right way to go in the first place now we definitely think that the new approach of africa policy also a new pill within the german africa policy is headed in the right direction to create more gross to create more jobs with the involvement of german industry is

definitely the right strategy however until now these. plans and these strategy papers are relatively of ache and we are waiting for concrete instruments being implemented to support german companies being involved in africa business of planning to be more active on the continent but isn't that more like a planning phase and we're not really seeing results as opposed to for example development aid that is already established yeah we have. off implementation right now and what we definitely need is to speed up the process of . defining you instruments for instance guarantee instruments for drama companies we have proposed to establish a fund which is dedicated to help. when

a bank financing of investment projects on. in african countries is difficult but we know needs implementation by the governments and this takes much too much time from the perspective of companies as well if as from the perspective perspective of our african partner countries it's certainly that as a very important issue the trust in the african countries themselves now we know that african countries some of the ones that are participating in these programs are supposed to implement reforms to become better destinations for investment how do you assess this development do you think there has been progress in that front we've seen a lot of progress in these fields over the last ten fifteen years we have. to see a lot of african countries improving the business climate improving. the regulator e a framework of course there's still

a lot of work to do but i think that for germany the important thing is that we do . as well and as we are slow we are not the right people to complain about others to be too slow for sure and we'll see how it develops next year maybe we can talk to you again in that context thank you very much and the countries of the german african business association for the insight on to another big story today after the u.s. lapsed tariffs on mexican steel and aluminum mexico is now retaliating with tariffs on american farm and steel products pork bourbon whiskey cheese steel and motorboats face duties of twenty to twenty five percent analysts say trump could use mexico's the television to finally rip up the nafta trade deal between mexico canada and the us from the chronic advisor larry kudlow said today that the president would prefer to negotiate separately with canada and mexico.

a new trio of astronauts is preparing to spend six months aboard the international space station and they're almost ready for liftoff final preparations have begun for the soyuz rockets blast off from russia's launch facility and the cost of baikonur onboard are germany's alexander gassed america's out and chancellor and. of russian gas to two to command the station during his state making only the second european to do so. i spoke with former astronaut thomas reiter he's now an advisor to the european space agency so did he wish he was joining the crew on the way into space. oh definitely yes you know i had the chance to see. this morning had a few words with him it's amazing it's completely relaxed really looking forward to this great moment to morrow and i wish him all best of luck and of course also to

the crew and what will they be doing up there. they will be up for half a year they will return just before christmas at least this is the current planning and they have quite comprehensive scientific program will perform about seventy experiments from all different kinds of scientific discipline from medicine material sciences technology. fundamental physics so the possibility to work really on the frontier of all these fields of research is one of the interesting most interesting aspects of being an astronaut apart from this incredible view to our planet how does one prepare for the international space station. well the training runs for two years in these two years the crew gets prepared for all the specific tasks

that they will carry out when they are on orbit so about eighty percent of getting acquainted with the scientific. about twenty percent is really doing the engineering task because the station is a very very complex machine and of course it needs to be maintained some times normal maintenance sometimes systems need to be repaired and this is a credible amount of knowledge they need to. need to get prepared for the specific work that needs to be done running the robotic preparing for an extra vehicular activity and of course the science so this is the main part of this two year preparation everything is stored in their brains and ready to be called as soon as they reach the station. an international crew russian.

well the two languages they will talk there is russian in english. the russian commander can speak a little bit of english speaks very good russian communication with the control center. english in. russian so those two languages need to be known by the end they change between the languages during the day i remember when i was on the station in two thousand and six we almost every. flipped the language from russian to english speaking forth and only when you have the chance to make a phone call to your friends of course then you revert to your. native language which is. well we wish them well thank you for joining us.

a un body that divided contested territory between the two countries. kenya next child prostitution is a recognized problem there and sex tourism is rife especially in coastal areas twenty thirteen study found that nearly thirty eight percent of child respondents in the counties of bombast kill e free and coati how to engage in sex for money now improved internet services in the east african country adding a whole new dimension to the problem online sexual exploitation of children it's on the increase and international child protection charity ted as all has released a new study highlighting the dangers of new technologies for the most vulnerable according to the study poverty is one of the main reasons children go into the sex trade or that forty percent of kenyans live below the poverty line acceptance of practices such as child marriage and harmful rites of passage make children

particularly susceptible and there's not enough legal protection kenya lacks online child protection frameworks making it difficult to track online abuse d.w. correspondent catherine i'm wonder has been investigating the problem of child sexual exploitation in kenya he spoke to a teenage girl in the sex trade we've given her an alias to protect her identity this community center is an escape for girls like mine amethi here she learns the skills she could use to earn a living but for this seventeen year old getting a formal education is the least of her worries. i in school yes i'm in school i mean fifth grade and i don't need to school but i don't understand what is taught. and even still after going to look for money for like a week when i get back to class the topics that over and when exams come i feel and repeat the class. that's. come under there's

a. similar address and i have kids in there that if it. even though in school one on me and his sister have no choice but to continue a sex workers here in the coastal region of quality. kenya's beaches and known for their beauty but they're also known as hubs for sex tourism. underage boys and girls sleep with tourists for as little as five euros most of them will tell you based see no alternative. i get that you know in our family we're fourteen children and my sister and i the oldest my father died and my mother doesn't work we are older so it's up to us to put food on the table so that's why i do that job so my siblings can eat it. all does your mother know. and. yes she's sick so there's nothing she can tell me you know.

when i meet his mother knowing that she's a sex worker is of no surprise here transactional sex has been practiced by communities in the coastal region for years making it even harder to break the cycle. yes because i am getting how can i but. i am such a nice bounce our timing of the things i really want to come out saying you have to question but now since we're at it depends on the degree to which the end of august . i was saying how much it's just good it's going to bring me to get out it's good to happen now these things that schools call me to to get back but there's also carrick sounds that things are coming to dad. just. yet in a recent report ted to home says that while poverty and culture play

a major role in sustaining child sex exploitation which it's through to be just come beings who are there for the growing use of the internet and mobile phones only western the situation. today. what we see is that the use of the internet makes the point making appointments makes makes going into sexual exploitation more easy because people have. perceived that they're in safety when they make deals but also the other side to supply them things is quite easy they don't have to walk on the beach anymore they don't have to go to the bar and work necessarily to make a deal they can do that in chat rooms they can do to whatever they can organize their whole business. in minutes and go for the deal. despite the dangers money amethi says she will not stop sex work until she finds another way to sustain her family a huge burden for

a girl who each. has to war about this with the borg palmer who you saw in that report she's from the charset ted there's all joins us from nairobi a welcome to doubly so how big a problem is child sexual exploitation in kenya. it is a big problem it's always very difficult to find exact numbers because it's still a corset to and it's difficult to talk about but the estimation is that since it's us it's a forty thousand children per year affixes by it's in kenya and do kenyans themselves see this as a problem oh yes they definitely do and i think the government says. lost policies and regulations in place to fight it but it's always difficult it's a large country it's as remote areas so the implementation sometimes has some

difficulties and that's where ted is almost also intervening in assisting. people on the grounds to make sure that implementation is possible you see i ask the question because we heard in the report of a business this is become part of the culture and governments can pass with whatever laws they like you determine whether or not they actually mean the by how much we enforce those laws this appears not to be a problem that the kenyan government is that bothered about given that he isn't actually getting a grip of it. yeah on the one end it's true on the other hand it's also really important to raise awareness it's all levels also with law enforcement on what the problem entails and what it means and what the impact is for the children for their future and therefore it's important to work together with the government agencies and to help and assist at all levels that implementation of also making nations that are there being implemented so we work with communities we

work with. law enforcement we work with i did children themselves to help them in the stands what. their future of the look like when they will keep on engaging in these activities and how does this exploitation affect the children now its effects its children by a lot you saw it in the shorts. the children don't drop out of school they are not able to. forgive me for interrupting in the end it all is they're good for instruction but the children drop out of school because they have to provide food for their farmers on the way they provide food for their families in this instance this is such what so the the wall is not a cause of the other. not necessarily. indeed a lot of it is economically. related so if people are poor

they look for opportunities but it's also the opportunities that are there and the opportunities are not necessarily created by the children that are affected by the sex industry why did your organization choose to look at this issue in kenya. now specifically related to the issue that you're talking about today and that is the. on line shelves exploitation that is on the rise and specifically in kenya because now approximately ninety percent of the kenyans is has access to to internet and also children and youth and what you see is that a lot of youth groups they set a facilities basically to access to the sex industry. and when that is economically liberty if you had that is an opportunity for for for also children

that are affected by these girls that drop out of school for example to enter into a good talking to thank you for joining us. from terrorism opposition supporters in zimbabwe have been demonstrating in the capital harare demanding reforms ahead of the upcoming general election the m.d.c. alliance wants guarantees from the government the electoral commission the poll will be transparent and fair votes on july the thirtieth will be the first since the country's independence in one hundred eighty without a longtime leader robert mugabe on the ballot paper where more than half the electorate comprising people below the age of forty young people could well determine zimbabwe's next leader. that was the moment. that. it wasn't funny then but zimbabweans are laughing now the events that saul robert mugabe's rule come to an end last november now

being played out in theaters across the country. come twenty six year old charles mcguinness of wrote operation restore brake a-c. he wants artists to be able to work without being since it rupert mugabe's government was was a major that's industry both a message to the us industry and a little frightened of please big bond did more one in one criticising. but now we have a different government we can actually love it's no two it's a very good environment for artists in the hope it continues like this even after the election period there is a renewed sense of optimism in zimbabwe and young people here all seem to have high hopes and expectations for the future. on the cricket pitch tyrion call want to see zimbabwe came back to its former glory on the global stage. hope to get more sponsors for the game so that you can believe it came from the grassroots us guys

we're actually waiting and it's actually a good thing if things happen the right way imagine on the spot to come much you know how many people are going away from zimbabwe that are so wealthy they could bring in you know get a lot isn't too often a stone's throw away from the pitch is twenty year old eric he wants to keep adorning women with his signature braids and wants to see his business grow for the two of them we've been told zimbabwe is now open for business that should come with opportunities and every person must sees their own through which we are also open for business with. syria is twenty seven a scoff featuring the colors of the zimbabwean flag that she designed has become a national fad she's working long days to meet demand she's enjoying the booming business but says she wants more than economic prospects for young means a space that is open to the youth taking charge and i think also that our responsibility you know we need to step into the space where we feel we can make

a difference and make a change young people will make a difference in this election they make up about two thirds of registered voters this. election will see nelson chamisa the forty year old opposition leader promising a teen break from the old guard take on incumbent innocent he's favored to win in office he's turned away from mugabe's repressive policies and urged investors to return to zimbabwe in a synagogue why has promised to give citizens of this country the zimbabwe they want while the message appears to have resonated with many here there are still some who are not convinced who has your vote this election. it's. pretty much undecided i would think which i. i'm going to say the. voters have just under two months to decide who they'll choose as the new president the poll has been seated for the thirtieth of july. so that report was produced by d.

w.'s and southern africa correspondent christina mondo welcome christine so no robert mugabe taking part this time for the first time so given does that mean that acting president gaga is a sure win you know so if we were having this conversation right around the time a guy who was ousted it probably would have been you know a solid yes number was likely to win the election but that euphoria has since died down and when i was in the country i listened three weeks ago talking to people you get the sense that they're thinking deeply about this man and they're suddenly contemplating whether or not he can really deliver the change that he's promising people are reminding themselves of the cost and the party that he has that with them and how it's essentially destroyed zimbabwe the country so people are thinking deeply about whether or not. as well will maintain that parity freedoms that we see in zimbabwe at the moment or whether this is just about winning the elections so

delton skepticism has now risen in that euphoria that initial four years on and so it's looking more likely to be tight contest between these two candidates rather than a landslide for as you were so this is best quite a lot at stake in this first post mugabe election that really no one can deliver on it in terms of hopes and aspirations no you know zimbabwe for for the last two decades essentially has been a bosket case this was once you know the continent's breadbasket for example so much damage has been done to this economy we're talking about people's basic rights being violated there are so many expectations on the polish off the citizens and looking at these two candidates very few people in terms of those people who understand what is. i needed people who understand what the the two content is offering versus what the voters want very few people are very confident in the fact that either of these two candidates can really deliver to zimbabweans what they want and looking at this opposition candidate nelson chamisa forty years old he's

young he represents a clean break from the old guard but you know he's saying things that if you if you listen to them there's not much substance to it to the mrs that he's sending out to vote you know sort of talking big ideas but not necessarily delivering on how that's going to be executed it's pretty much looking like he's just running on the fact that he's young and he's not from sunup if that was well people are looking at this and saying look this is an old train just a new driver can they really do all the things that they say they will and briefly the the first bit of the post president bob zimbabwe is the election. if you'd likely to be seen as free and fair while there are christians being raised by the opposition today there was a demonstration and they were calling for reforms insisting on basic things like release the voters' roll talk to us about where the ballot papers are going to be printed so if you've lost every small biz do you think this elections later be free

heartfelt congratulations keep plugging away and but you can celebrate a bit today as well. america took time to learn about some of the w.'s initiatives designed to combat misinformation and fake news. that's one of many things that has changed since t w first went on air in one thousand nine hundred fifty three to dodge a bullet in the early days only broadcast in german and fire radio. today it's become a global media player employing journalists from sixty different countries in berlin and the w. has come a long way. back then it was just german and just shortwave these days we have thirty languages and use all the media under the sun t.v. radio social media online whenever you want so you can see that things have changed

an alice in wonderland center or god of his travels or something like this this is the so-called apartment tackles the critical issues of scale in domestic space this is a palm with ordinary things either shrunk or enlarged as we can see with ryan of that and it shows quite simply how much architecture can hinder all help is really and i think it does it in quite a fun way so this this be an. important as if you were revived so you fly in all these talks from around the world they have made us with that newfangled ideas but how much of it actually affects our lives well i think it does affect our lives and it will affect our lives more and more in the future i mean there's loads of being dollars in venice like the old there's the film fest for instance but this really will affect our lives the theme of it this year is free space and all the

provisions of a job or to this in different ways of course some public space some lucky house face can be used in our homes and apartments and as we know more and more people are moving to cities around the world so space is of the yes it's in fact an architect's i think will play a good and important and shape how and where we live in the future anyway let's have a look at more of this the ennahda. if what you're looking for is breathtaking architecture you might just be in the wrong place. free space is open playful and creative the architects designers and planners are interested in creating buildings for people and for society. at the hong kong pavilion an optimistic look into the future. here high rises it seems is the only option for more space in hong kong's densely populated territory. can we think

about greenery sustainability can we plant trees in the tower and a lot more public spaces for the citizens in the towers that need to have a change on regulation that technological wise is definitely possible when power are that close you can easily link them up and you provide more planes and platforms and we wish hong kong and the world to have a new discourse on the design of towers in contrast the argentinian pavilion resembles the country's legendary pumper it pays homage to the vast expanse that allows nature and built up areas to co-exist side by side. this filigree wooden latter's set in the middle of the venetian park is actually a christian chapel commissioned by the vatican it's the work of star british architect so norman foster. there's

a deliberate ambiguity between being close but also being aware of this rather beautiful side this year has been allah is unusually coherent and seeks to answer many of the big housing questions of our time. the project star apartments offers housing solutions for homeless people in los angeles prefabricated modular units are arranged above an open communal floor. the venice biennale provides an alternative view of architecture one that displays great attention to detail about the does not set in stone allowing for change and free space. are all very interesting and tell us about the german pavilion which didn't win one building walls it did when it is no surprise as

a reference obviously to the bergen bowl because this year it's twenty eight years since the bourbon wolf fell and it was also stood for twenty eight years so there's been sort of a bit of a jubilee here and the germ of a villian is actually showcasing twenty eight projects in it for a billion this is the main one this is black wool which you think is solid but as we move the camera yet you see it isn't a wall a whole and the wall exists but it doesn't it's a metaphor if you like for walls that exist in people's heads perhaps as we know here in berlin twenty isn't it wolf but the difference between east and west certainly in people's heads is it isn't in the you know everything's the same in the east and west there's no walled in this city but there's still a wall in people's heads i have to say two generations you know there will be time to come and this the villian of it is being curated by
