fleeing a disaster zone. people left their homes as fast as they could taking with them only what they could carry on their own. many hoping for a quick escape or slowed down by clogged roads. authorities issued evacuation orders for half a dozen villages after increased volcanic activity on tuesday raising the threat of further lava flows and hot ash. there were reports of panic but others tried not to . let the truth is you don't know what to do. i think what we have to do is to be calm and prayed and not. want to feel those made homeless have been turning to emergency shelters they're depending on authorities to take care of their immediate needs. it's

a pity and we're hoping the government will help us we don't have anywhere to stay we've lost everything our land our homes we couldn't take anything with us. back in the disaster area many homes have been buried by ash. rescue crews are looking for survivors and victims of big knowledge their progress has been slowed due to the dangerous terrain. that there are manuals say that the first response is supposed to be within seventy two hours you know what hasn't been taken into account is the factors holding back our work. like volcanic material at high temperatures we're talking between four hundred seven hundred degrees celsius. the area around the volcano is normally lush farmland but where the ash has fallen it now looks more like a lunar landscape. a multinational crew of astronauts will blast off in

a few hours time to spend six months on the international space station they lift off from the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan under the command of german astronaut alexander gas conduct a host of experiments including into the effects of stress on the human immune system that will be important for future missions to mars as yuri or shadows said as this report from launch site. i mean by canoe or at the world's largest spaceport cause more drama as it's called here in the middle of the. nowhere in the world launches as many spacecraft as of this place thus even as the russian cosmonaut human regarding the first human in space to cough from here. there are just a few hours left until the launch. of a special train brinks of the so you spacecraft to the ramp security is tight

especially i was told because there is a danger of espionage and here comes the rocket with a long shot at seven o'clock in the morning. right up until takeoff technicians work in the rocket and recheck everything meticulously because of the actual launch is one of the most dangerous moments of the whole flight obviously the launch is one of the more risky phases but it's also something the crew is really looking forward to to experience these incredible forces that push the humans from the surface of this planet into orbit it's remarkable the g. loads it's pretty quick less than nine minutes from lift off until you reach the

weightlessness and you are traveling with almost twenty eight thousand kilometers per hour it's something to look forward to on earth these flights to other astronauts are on board alongside of the german commander alexander garrison at the russian sergei prokofiev and the u.s. american siri now a non chancellor you know do this in imagine oh this is you guys is it's always been a pleasure. no it's we. always are but we're. going . to. see. the big moment he's approaching and them all systems go everything is ready for space. joining us in the studio now is jennifer no one from the european space agency

she's head of the isa's research office thanks for being with us this morning jennifer but you helped prepare some of the experiments that are going to be conducted up there what do you hoping to learn from these experiments that can help us here on earth human spaceflight is currently entering the next phase of space exploration we have been and we are utilizing the international space station to the maximum extent possible but we are already preparing for the next step we would like to go back to the moon we would like to go to mars with a human crew and that is our daily work that is what we are preparing for it will probably not come as a surprise to you when i tell you that the space environment is not really an environment for which humans were made space is actually quite a hostile environment when you think about it space expose us to astronauts to massive radiation it exposes ten to zero gravity conditions to which the human body

adapts and the astronauts have to live in a very confined and very confining little tin can. very close to each other and all these factors have a direct impact on to physically ability off such long duration exploration missions and that is what we're preparing for the most are going to be on the space station if we're going to work for this mission. just how difficult is it to be there for that long period of time briefly if you can it is very challenging but for the last fifty years we have shown that it is possible to have humans constantly in space we can keep them healthy we can keep the performance up there. so we have gained a lot of knowledge on how to make humans is spacefaring species there are still a lot of challenges that we need to address and that is what we do with our science program and that is what alexander is going to contribute to with his mission for

the next six months jennifer thank you so much jennifer and no one from the european space agency issues head of research office thank you kewl. d.w. we'll be bringing you the blastoff from the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan and just after thirteen hundred central european time that's eleven hundred g.m.t. do join us if you can. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today in china state media say more than twenty people have been rescued after a blast at an iron ore mine after a blast trapped them in an out of iron ore mine underground eleven people were killed by the explosion in the province tuesday afternoon two more are still missing china's mines are some of the deadliest in the world and the o.p.'s says it's ending the dispute over its shared border with eritrea after decades of

tension and fighting the government says it will fully accept a un deal put forward in two thousand and two to divide up the contested territory between page three fashion designer kate spade she was found dead in her new york apartment on tuesday in an apparent suicide she was fifty five she was best known for her kate spade handbag brand which she founded with her partner in the early one thousand nine. the new u.s. ambassador to germany is due to pay his first official visit to germany's foreign ministry later today nothing unusual about that you might think but richard grinnell has already ruffled feathers by undiplomatic remarks he made to the right wing web site breitbart news john politicians have warned him against interfering in domestic politics and the german government has asked the u.s. for clarification of the ambassador's remarks. this is richard grinnell he's been trumps man in berlin for just shy of a month but the new u.s.

ambassador has already been in the headlines with his own political opinions. he gave his first big interview to breitbart the right wing news site that supported trump in the u.s. election campaign in it grinnell said he wants to empower the european right which he said was growing due to what he called the failed policies of the left he also criticized german defense policy the reaction from politicians in berlin was nothing short of amazement theo we want to have good discussions with him but on the condition that he maintains an exchange with all parties and not just conservatives regime change from washington we don't need that here. on his first day on the job grinnell called on german companies to immediately withdraw from iran while it's not unusual for ambassadors to share their opinions the way in which grinnell has been speaking out is something new as mine as i did dusty and this causes the boundaries of what it embassador should do not just in

a partner country but it all meddling in internal affairs is clearly not an ambassador as well cornell does have at least one friend within the german government's ranks health minister young. they know each other privately for those on the political left their bond is unsavory. i don't want to offend mr spawn but i think he consciously decided why he is now seeking to publicly join forces with canal it should give you something to think about. there may well be a grinnell led conservative clinic in the making that being said some german politicians are remaining pragmatic. cognition from what i know of the us president and now the ambassador who will probably have many more occasions to react to their comments. but you just have to take it for what it is always assumed name to be she's. grinnell says he stands by his comments he says the allegations that he supports certain political parties are nonsense. in soccer news

argentina have canceled saturday's world cup warm up against israel over fears of palestinian protests the friendly was due to be played in haifa but was then switched to jerusalem palestinians in the wake of the city being recognized as israel's capital by the united states protesters had threatened to burn jerseys argentina starlee and messy argentina's coach had been unhappy about the scheduling of the match anyway the cancellation is a blow to israel politically and to argentina's world cup preparations with the tournament in russia starting next thursday. well calls for argentina to boycott the game with israel are already making the rounds on social media before this decision using the hash tags argentina don't go and nothing friendly now some people are welcoming the move here's a prominent palestinian association tweeting we welcome news that argentina's

friendly football match with israel has been canceled the team responded to creative campaigning from fans around the world denouncing israel's sports washing of its crimes against palestinians fifa take note some argentinian fans here also supporting the decision this woman writes i feel like my team argentina has already won the world cup twenty eighteen thank you for doing the right thing argentina and our national sport shouldn't be used to normalize the horrible situation in gaza there is nothing friendly about shooting innocent people criticism also pouring in mainly from israel here's a journalist sharing his disappointment everyone loses israeli fans israel football association argentina football association has to scramble to find opponent really disappointing from argentina israel will not forget this. so politics very much involved in the cancellation of the sporting event for more

let's bring in our correspondent tanya kramer in jerusalem tanya the match has been cancelled as we heard tell us more number the reasoning behind that. well i see it said i mean the pressure had been mounting on the argentinian team not to come out originally the friendly was scheduled to be held in haifa a port city in northern israel there were also protests expected there but when we understand there's any government pushed the game to be played and the red line was crossed for many palestinians and the head of the palestinians football association had called had accused actually the israeli government of politicizing the game palestinians of course. as an occupied city they want to see is to serve as a future capital of their future independent state and as far as we understand also

a lot of the campaign is not to play not for the arts and teams to play also said you know we should look at what's happening with the protests in gaza now what's also written a lot in the israeli media is also the argentinean media being quoted that it's not pressure by the palestinians by lobby groups but as well as the you know some of the leading players have said they might not want to come to play that game so are palestinians generally happy that the match has been cancelled turn you do they see this as some kind of victory. well as we've seen on those reactions on social media already that palestinian head of the football association has welcomed the move they said this is the right thing you had previously cold for burning message t. shirts now is everywhere in the world of course messi is also very much loved by palestinian fans so there was a lot of pressure there and for them it's a significant breakthrough actually that they're being able as they see to prevent such a high level play

a cultural and sports event to be held in jerusalem so what's at stake here in this decision for israel tanya. well i think it's a significant setback but there have been a lot of angry reactions by officials here also by some israeli ministers referring to a cultural terrorism as incitement by the palestinians who understand also that the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu had cold. argentinean president as of last night trying you know to change their mind but at the end it was their game the team the argentinean team who decided you know that they don't want to come and play here tanya thank you jerusalem correspondent tanya kramer there. over the business now of daniel and an attempt at shareholder coo tesla that's right an attempt but not a successful one tesla basilan musk is still fully in charge of the company he

helped found that's despite a proposal by some shareholders to strip him of his role of as chairman of the electric car maker the movie testers annual meeting which have left must coding only the title of c.e.o. but no overwhelming majority of shareholders voted against it after musk said tesla was on track to meet production targets for its new mass market sedan the model three. among its not only bots following this for us only why did some shareholder want to get rid of the man behind the wheel of tesla. well i think the implicit argument is that he can't handle all the things that he would have to handle one investor said the company has become difficult to oversee in other words too complex and then the answer would be to separate the roles i think part of the answer though is also in the fact that mosque has failed to deliver so many times.

but if you look at what the investors asked for they wanted him to give up the chairman's role if the company is too difficult to oversee as it is perhaps he should have given up the c.e.o. role rather than the chairman's role because the c.e.o. is the operative guy who has to be able to oversee everything and to steer the company into a future but of course the investors i think probably didn't do that because they didn't see a leadership crisis as the right hand strength of the problems at the moment after all iran must is tesla after all ok looking at its balance sheet the company is underfunded it is cash flow negative as we say but musk says he won't go through any more this year can he make the company work financially. no talk to an analyst who oversees the broad picture and he. is that he doesn't believe that the company with the rate at which it's going through cash at the moment can avoid either getting new equity or getting your debt the company is already highly

indebted it's valued very highly in the stock market and it's still turning a loss and you long must time and time again over the years that said profits just around the corner were on target and then another loss in the losses or are building up the problem as the business model doesn't seem to work another analyst i talked to a little while ago said you know even with the expensive cars not the model three but the original cars he didn't make a profit while all the other premium car makers are doing so there's something wrong there so the investor confidence is that it is eroding only thank you very much for the. turkey's inflation rate has hit a six month high in that bad news president richard tied at the one who's facing election at the end of the month the needs satisfied voters at the end is struggling to keep the impression that the turkish economy is doing just fine growth is actually impressive but there are concerns about the long term

consequences of the country's aggressive economic expansion. shoppers have plenty of options in stumbles fiend markets but there's less money in the pockets of turkish shoppers and that despite a supposedly strong economy the upswing is yet to register here. hundred fifty grams of cheese const twelve lire today it was five just three months ago. everything is more expensive the dollar is climbing and climbing the election is coming up how is this supposed to go on. the lira has lost nearly twenty percent of its value since the beginning of the year the euro currently costs five lira and thirty one cents turkey central bank raised interest rates in an emergency move several days ago president otherwise a friend of lower interest rates kept quiet but urged his countrymen to remain loyal to the turkish currency. don't invest earlier in foreign currencies keep your

lira ticket only then can we show the national resolve that is our duty to the fatherland according to heir to one a foreign conspiracy is behind the crisis in reality turkey is a prosperous country whose economy is in full bloom he maintains. he points to mega projects like the third boss bruce bridge or the new istanbul airport scheduled to open later this year as the world's largest turkey's economy grew by more than seven percent last year but experts warn that the upswing is all on loan. every investment made in recent years was financed by debt which our kids and grandchildren have to repay sure we're building bridges we're building tunnels but we're not building with our money we're spending money today that we only might be able to recoup at some point from these projects in the future. the german firm nordics builds wind turbines in turkey business virtually disappeared after the attempted coup two years ago but things have turned around since the beginning of

the year and yet investors have been hesitant since the announcement of elections. this. process is now much slower investors take a look and think for a moment and say let's make our decision after the elections and that's why there's a distinct slowdown. everyone is added to the uncertainty with the sharp statements during the campaign he announced that he would personally take over interest rate decisions following his reelection something the central bank handles independent of the president the finance world was alarmed. a country in which there's no trust in the rule of law and that constantly provokes the west just to appease its core voters that's not a country that makes foreign investors feel very confident they get to make the situation as a strategic move in early election before discontent. strikes to grow might be smarter than a later one but it could still be

a close one for everyone on june twenty fourth. as only business back to terry now with sports news and concerns over racism in russian football it just won't go away . in eight days time the most watched sporting events strive against on the planet kicks off in russia of course the football world cup but the host nation has long had a problem with racism in sports as daniel mention and campaigners fear tan instance could more of the tournament footballer brian who is heading to the world cup with the nigerian national team as a player in the russian football league is well aware of the racist taunts some black players have had to endure. as a player for senate st petersburg bryant you do remembers being abused by a fan by a show. lewis fan who told me there's no black in zen it's colos that was it i was with friends from the team we were all wearing said it's kids and the fans
