kilometers to the south. fork where the destruction. at our feet last night actually speak of going to the ground and when trees and cars and the fires are put out altogether there are still some flames but they are condemned however the body count is not the. scary really dozens of people who have lost their lives about a thousand houses very. hundreds of over the summer and so the view from here is terrible how did these fires get so bad so quickly george. well. there was this very strong southerly winds that started this late in the afternoon yesterday and the fact of the cited. attention to another wildfire to the world of the greeks started collecting at that as

a fortunately has claimed known life meant that this is the cease fire. which is quite underestimated. when you quickly. it's about one hundred kilometers per hour speed is quickly from amounts that they need to the seacoast and the copy room is the model of course for those from the one hundred biggest two year old well you'd be going to be in and george how are people living in athens and also the surrounding area coping with these fires. over here how. they could keep their we start this by the heat wave because it really smells over smoke. we are also hoping that the we will not change the direction again other words the file could still be. heard from or is in some areas european union member

states they have promised help but will that make a difference. he's going to going to be very difficult to oversee as your report card if you mentioned the various how coming from spain and psychos it's the main risk u.s. and greece right now not so much of. that fire fighting but you never know with the direction changing all the time here because could be of use somewhere else in greece my journalist or should try to couple a speaking to us on the line from athens thank you very much. now to some other stories making headlines around the world italy has agreed to accept migrants rescued at sea until the european union can decide on a strategy to accommodate them the foreign minister. made that announcement after talks with his german counterpart in her lead it's a reversal for italy's populist government which said last week it was closing its

ports to migrants rescued at sea. analysts in the us a north korea has begun taking apart key facilities at a missile test site of these satellite images reportedly show dismantling underway at the so hey satellite launch station north korean leader kim jong il and have promised to dismantle the site at a summit with u.s. president trump in june. and president trump is considering stripping several former top officials of their security clearances it comes after several obama era officials criticize trump's refusal to confront russia for interfering in elections white house spokeswoman sarah huckabee sanders has accused the officials of making baseless accusations. to pakistan now we're journalists are facing an unprecedented crackdown by the country's powerful army that's as a country gets ready to hold an election on wednesday the military wants to boost the chances of its favored candidate former cricketer imran khan those who report on his main rivals face intimidation and worse naomi conrad and i seem celine

report from lahore. in pakistan second largest city whole election campaigning is in full swing but behind the scenes many fear strings are being pulled to favor one candidate in run code. his party p.t.i. is in a neck and neck race with the pakistani muslim league run by one of the country's most high profile politicians now once sharif sharif angered the country's powerful military with his attempts to improve relations with pakistan's our tribal india and rein in the army support a visit missed earlier this month he was jailed on corruption charges. and now journalists like sorry julio are bearing the brunt of the standoff those who dare to openly criticize the p.t.i. or appear to support now while sharif risk the wrath of the security agencies and

the party of the talk about like the pm alone if you speak for it in any way which you are suppose really in a very balanced manner to speak for it there's going to be trouble brewing somewhere down the line previously like i said there were there were certain areas you can speak about but it was never about political parties not to do things stand you just you just kind of reporter the balance mother and here you're out there at it they're after you and this this was really startling to many of the editors but but then of carrying on some of us some of us are really really struggling. many of her colleagues have received intimidating calls and threats on social media and journalists know all too well which stories editors want to afraid to run but on the record few data point their finger. well. i'll take the safest route out of this with. their human rights international

human rights organizations and the local human rights organizations have repeatedly called out the military for doing this and the military would mean the intelligence agencies that are associated with the military and. the feeling of the rights organizations and i'm quoting them i mean quoting them and those that defend the bill of too much power over the civil do more government a democratic government a democratic set up and awful view this power to get you know really. speak more about those. issues to be on the safe so in pakistan the generals have always pulled the political strings and dictated the red lines that journalists in peril but talk to human rights activists and they agree that the degree of meddling in this election is unprecedented the military has

a record of in defeating. each and every election that has been held in pakistan this is part of her. right. to regulate everything. we wanted to confront the military with the accusations but our interview requests were turned down in the past the generals have denied any involvement in pakistani politics. with the p t i n d m l a v neck and neck the outcome of the elections is far from so. now the german football association has hit back at accusations of racism made by football star may soon they were going to zation says it supports diversity and has worked on integration in germany for many years made the claim over the weekend when he also announced he'd quit the german national team now the midfielder is turkish roots and was pictured with turkey's president. back in may he said he faced racism and disrespect from the public and the media in the aftermath

following the team's disappointing world cup performance he was also criticised by the german football association. resignation from the german national side has also been hotly debated in his hometown of gosan kitchen and western germany decades ago many turks migrated to the former industrial hub in search of work and it continues to be home to a large turkish community people there feel that decision highlights ongoing problems with integration in the country. this is where a young message often had a kick about a training ground in the german city against him. today an homage to team is playing here about the resignation of the gemma national player is on everyone's mind. is to get some fluid it's a brave move by him but as i see it he's only criticised others without accepting that he might have made an error in my view of his mistake was not to have spoken

out earlier. as i'm going off and that's all gone wrong so it's all about resigning it's made things with integration even worse for a while i had the feeling that we were all coming together this is german turkish and spanish italian. it all began here at the club fest finally a zero four zero as it was grandparents were coal miners who moved from the black sea coast to gals in kitchen he was the first footballer of turkish descent to play for germany cup marco langer used to play football with ozil in his hometown. he was greatly interested when we met his kids he was a very quiet boy always carrying a ball around always with his father never pitch. an example to follow until recently ozil had been a proud poster boy for integration today many germans were turkish heritage can't understand how one photo could change everything when he was sent by germany's own

fans all because of a photo he also took a photo with article americal it's his business takes a photo with her to watch the scope of the catastrophe how bad things have gone and because of one photo for me it's try to. turkish german or both integration research is from the essence center for turkish studies say young people feel close to germany but also different from the non migrant population they say germans and german politics struggle with people who don't want to commit to just one nationality. research alarm in a car door has called for a reasonable debate on identity she says the integration policy of the german football association has failed. we have a real racism problem in germany it's not something we can say is exclusively on the far right racism has long existed at the center of this society. she says those who have the interests of both sides at heart have lost the winners of the

debate nationalistic turks and the german far right. we have some breaking news coming into us the state media in laos say several people are dead and hundreds more missing after a dam collapse in the country's south east that collapse reportedly took place overnight releasing five billion cubic meters of water again that being reported by the state news agency we'll have more details on the story as they come in to us. you're watching news still to come on our program there one of the symbols of green energy but wind turbines are anything but environmentally friendly when it comes time to dispose of them we visit one german company hoping to change them. but first to ukraine where a new exhibit has opened to highlight the country's battle against corruption the pop up interactive show is called corruption park it's been drawing in thousands of visitors since it opened in june it comes amid mounting criticism that the ukrainian government isn't doing enough to crack down on graft did abuse an economy

reports. a life of luxury which anti-graft investigators brought to a sudden and unexpected and this film is called a corrupt officials worst nightmare but up until now ukraine's bribe takers have for the most part been able to sleep easy in recent years no top level official has been jailed for corruption. the film is part of the corruption park exhibition which hopes to open visitor's eyes to the scale of government corruption and how new law enforcement agencies are fighting it. is the brainchild of ukrainian anti corruption activists with financial support from the e.u. most of the items were confiscated during real life corruption investigations. investigators found this jam jar stuffed full of dollar bills buried in a prominent judge's garden this gold plated crystal eagle was a gift to a top official the price tag is forty thousand euros but the kitsch belies the

seriousness of the situation according to transparency international among european countries only russia is more corrupt than ukraine. beyond the eye catching exhibits examples of real life investigations demonstrate how top level corruption works in practice and how it's most often hidden. but this is no conventional museum visitors are invited to use their imagination for example to find thousands of hectares of forest and he didn't and this recreate of a bureaucrat study. sounds cryptic but the answer is surprisingly simple a passionate hunter one former government official simply transferred ownership of thirty thousand hectares of state own forest to him self for use as a private hunting ground. but does this playful approach work with such a serious subject and can it really change perceptions it seems some visitors are rethinking their own behavior. for separable the whole government system is set up

in. away that without bribes things get stuck you're forced to pay them if you want to get things done in collusion that. was up with anybody look at that i think there's a bit less corruption now but in daily life when you go to the doctor you give something it comes naturally it's in our blood. and bush the first people's attitudes have to change people have to understand what corruption really is that it's bad and the fight to put an end to it starting with themselves. securing evidence during a raid thanks to virtual reality business can put themselves in the shoes of ukraine's new corruption investigators soon those investigators will be able to take their cases to a specialized anticorruption court creating a unique parallel system of justice dedicated to fighting graft but in the absence of high profile convictions the country is left waiting for results. ukrainian see corruption is the biggest single problem facing their country bigger even than the

war in the east that's according to the polls but in the three decades since ukraine gained independence those responsible for making this one of the most corrupt countries in europe have had very little to fear the hope is that that could not change but it's set to be anything but easy. for all the talk of transparency and accountability this exhibition is very short on names who was it that once owned this confiscated car for example the organizers prefer not to say even now the fear is that is soon as the fight against corruption britain's the interests of those very top government support for further reforms could evaporate . start talking about transparency accountability monica is tesla having trouble paying its bills so we this is exactly what many investors are asking and why are they asking well because it emerged that the american e-car builder had made an unusual request to its suppliers it asked them to full refunds on invoices it had already paid to help it turn

a profit tesla shares fell more than three percent on the news the company has been struggling with massive production problems with its lower priced model three tesla burned through one billion dollars in liquid assets in the first quarter alone leaving it with just three point two billion by the end of march as the chief iran has muskets said he's aiming for the company to turn a profit in the second tough of this year. let's see what our financial experts have to say about that let's cross over to danielle corp our man in frankfurt germany financial help and i see that you have found a tesla sale shop there. tesla used to be a shining beacon for electro mobility and now it's in rough waters what's going wrong. yeah very rough waters indeed and let me tell you that investors in experts are calling the actions they have been taking by a test in saying and they are frustrated because we have to remember that for the

entire history of the company tesla was not able even to reach the winning zone just last month the c.e.o. of tesla also announced that about ten percent of the four thousand employees off tesla will have to leave the company so cash flow liquidity those are the big issues right now a tester those have been mostly created because of the model. by a tester the production off that model all of this has been taking extremely long and also got very very expensive and yes i can tell you investors there are very frustrated but if tesla can't be profitable with electrical billeted how will that impact electability in all the attempts here in europe. well we have to face it monica i mean when you talk about e-cards or hybrid cars those are still considered by many as a lecture us when you look at the markets here in europe or also in germany most of

the carmakers are way behind tesla was at least able and we have to give those credits to tester in the united states to create sort of for a high but this is not the case with other car makers here in europe this also has to do with the infrastructure because charging station this is a very very big issue just in berlin where you are for example you need up to three different contracts in order to go with your e-car around the city to charge your car so all of this is not making e-commerce attractive at all you see daniel that's why i write my bicycle every day in frankfurt thank you so much. i mean while they have been impressive results for google's parent company alpha bits a second quarter earnings trounced profit estimates boosted by strong growth in its advertising business google ad revenues rose twenty four percent at a record to antitrust fine from the e.u. is set to cost the internet giant of billions european regulators accused google of

forcing mobile device makers to take its products and using its android operating system alphabet says it will appeal. now seven years into germany's green energy revolution which entails phasing out nuclear power and promoting renewable energy sources thousands of wind turbines are spread across the country but they need to be replaced after ten years and disposing of old wind turbines is a big problem not only are they deeply embedded at the ground but getting rid of them releases dangerous dust now a firm in germany has developed a way to recycle the rotor blades. these are sections of decommission turbines as a wind park in northern germany. a group of local environmentalists aren't satisfied too much of the base is still in the ground they want the whole thing to be removed. the concrete bases can be crushed and used in

road construction. but the rotor blades contain bluff and carbon fiber is. burning them isn't a viable option. do you. think you've just on toxic gases. and it's difficult to dispose of them for the dust clogs the filters will stop or carbon fibers conduct electricity and they cause short circuits and fires in the filters that's why incinerators either won't accept them or they charge exorbitant prices to dispose of them. of the thirty thousand turbines in germany a very large number are due to be decommissioned over the next few years and replaced by larger units. environmentally friendly disposal methods need to be developed before the weight of demolition gets under way. neo

comp is a company that recycles modern composite materials and there are plenty of them the bios glass and carbon fiber reinforced plastic are used not only in voters but also for example in airplane construction but what can you do with them once they're scrapped. and you can go back now. when you think to cake there's no technology in the world that lets you separated back into eggs baking powder flour and milk. the same applies to these materials g.r.p. c.r.p. this is their constituent parts are so tightly bound together that they can't really be separated and. the company has developed a procedure to tackle the problem it shreds the material. resulting stuff is light and easy to handle and while it can be burned as a substitute for fossil fuels in the manufacture of cement it can also be mixed

with paper production residue and turned into granny less. that granulation can be used as a component of cement as a substitute for sound. so a lot of different used rocher is could well turn up in the cement in the foundations of the next generation of wind turbines. a collection of disney theme park memorabilia is up for auction next month in california and among the offerings are pieces of dumbo the flying elephant ride and space mountain us well it's a bucket gondola from the old to disneyland skyway but it will take a lot more than pixie dust to make any of the new us collector and hollywood agent richard craft is behind the sale he's turning over seven hundred fifty pieces that spanned six decades of disneyland history items like this car from the famous dumbo ride which the auction house says could fetch between one hundred to two hundred thousand dollars to craft these items art kids their art and he's not alone his
