measures to shore up the country's currency the announcement comes after the lira tumbled to a new low against the dollar and fears grew that the crisis could spread to other markets the currency has nosedive this year over worries about the turkish president's increasing control over the economy and as a diplomatic dispute escalates between turkey and the united states a president everyone gave a speech a short while ago and said turkey is under quote economic siege i asked our correspondent dorian jones in istanbul what else the turkish president had to say. well it was another very tough speech much of it aimed at washington he said that strategic allies should not stop their allies in the back then he went on to accuse washington for backing terrorists saying that. terrorists we can say goodbye to that's a reference to the us it's ongoing support of the syrian kurdish militia fighting in syria which considers its terrorists he then went on to say that. he was

on justified he said that the fundamentals of the circuits in iraq remained strong and he promised that they would be all that were stalled soon and he did not explain how how that will be achieved by over one standard so this was quite a strain i'm not a very importantly he did not directly attack u.s. president personally and earlier in the day we will be hearing from the turkish foreign minister met. go along with his anti-u.s. rhetoric. saying that turkey was ready to have talks with the u.s. to resolve this crisis. how confident are turkish people that the measures that everyone's government is taking will really shore up the currency. but it depends who you speak to i mean the country's deeply divided like everything else between supporters and opponents of the president and those who support the president very confident in the president's stance they believe this is a war by washington and they believe that they will prevail opponents are far more

concerned than fearful about the future it has to be said at the moment the real effects of this dramatic devaluation have been being felt that will come in the coming weeks and i didn't expect to see a massive search and prices price spikes given dependence on n.b.c. imports and on top of that the fears for many companies the foreign currencies the fears of some possible closures and that's the impact that will have take both sides of the political spectrum meanwhile as this currency crisis says ask turkey's also indicated it may try to develop closer economic ties. with russia and move away from the bit of the west how far could those relations actually go. well indeed go has been very quick to offer its support is even told that turkey could pay for russian imported oil in rubles raavan dollars has been a key demand of turkey in the past be reluctant to do that but it appears they are prepared to possibly off of that concession but the fact that turkey turkish

economy needs around two hundred billion dollars of renewed loans and new money from foreign markets to sustain the economy doesn't have that kind of depth of money to give to support turkey possibly china is a novel option turkey has been deepening its relations with china and it's increasing talking about sharing similar ideas of an economic strategy with china china may offer some support but again the size of turkey's demands from for alone is something that even china could well be really busy the only europe and the united states can offer financial support to economies sustain itself to diffuse durian johns with the very latest for us from istanbul thank you dorian. and we'll have more on the turkish lira under pressure that's coming up in business a little bit later in the show now to some other stories making headlines around the world wildfires raging on the greek island have forced the evacuation of two villages and a monastery hundreds of firefighters are attempting to tame the flames officials

say no injuries have been reported three weeks ago the country's deadliest wildfire in decades killed at least ninety four people in the seaside resort of monte. and yemen thousands of people have gathered for the funeral of dozens of people killed in an airstrike last week they died when a saudi led coalition air strike hit a bus as it drove through the northern town of diallo on thursday many children were among the dead. torrential rains and thunderstorms have battered the japanese capital tokyo the downpours on monday left subways and stores across the city briefly submerged thousands of households also. ported power outages the storm lasted a few hours before clearing. horrible. north and south korea have agreed to hold a summit in pyongyang in september the announcement came after officials held a fresh round of high level talks on monday morning the negotiations in the demilitarized zone between the two countries were proposed by the north flast weak relations on the peninsula have been thawing further despite tensions between north

korea and the south ally washington. while september summit will be the third meeting between the leaders of the rival countries this year and it marks a significant turnaround in relations after months of saber rattling from north korea let's take a look at how this started now the first summit back in april and this was hailed as an historic step forward it was the first meeting between korean leaders in more than a decade the two sides agreed to take steps towards the deed nuclearization of the korean peninsula then there was a second meeting that followed in may and diplomatic exchanges have increased significantly since that the neighbors agreed to hold reunions for families separated by the korean war and next week they will be the first such reunions in three years now the two meetings are also said to have paved the way for a landmark summit between kim jong il and u.s. president donald trump in singapore in june a little earlier i spoke to reuters correspondent jason smith in the south korean capital seoul i asked him what's known so far about the agenda for the meeting.

both koreas have been trying to move forward on a number of issues north korea's likely to tout what it says have been goodwill gestures on its behalf stopping its weapons testing program and providing or returning the remains of u.s. troops who were killed during the korean war in return for some kind of easing of sanctions south korea meanwhile is likely to push north korea to make more concessions on its weapons program bring back something that it can bring to those allies in washington who are very skeptical of north korea these days just mentioned this going to the third meeting between the two sides since april how significant are these talks or how deep is this stalled that we're seeing both koreas do seem very committed to least maintaining this level of interaction which we haven't seen before this will be the first time that south korean president has met three times. at any point alone in one year with

a north korean leader and so this meeting in pyongyang is definitely expected to have a lot of pageantry a lot of symbolism a lot of. you know a symbolism of korean car unity trying to show some kind of progress even if some of the more concrete issues like we need leaders they can remain unresolved and just you know these internationals sanctions against north still exist how much are they getting in the way again between economic cooperation between the south and the north here this is something that the north has increasingly complained about it said that it's made measures taken steps to reduce tensions and that sanctions should be reduced accordingly however south korea has pushed for some diminished sanctions however in washington they say that they won't we do sanctions at all until there's major progress on denuclearization that's the bottom line here josh are we really any closer to seeing the denuclearization of north korea. it

doesn't appear so i mean you can be optimists here believe that that kind of process will take care years if not decades and so does something that u.s. officials are recently impatient about north korea does say that it's committed to eventually to nuclear ice in the korean peninsula but words that mean exactly what time it will will see. correspondent josh smith speaking to us from seoul josh thank you very much. and we should take and that was just math not jason smith speaking to us a little bit earlier now a fire at a hospital in taiwan has killed at least nine people another thirty are injured and investigation has been launched into the cause of the place the fire broke out on the seventh floor of the building which was used as a hospice for terminally ill patients. this was a ward for critically ill patients many were bedridden they couldn't move when the

blaze broke out hospital staff tried to remove them but for some help came too late . hospital officials say the victims included not just patients but also nurses and caregivers first responders raced against the clock to save those injured in the blaze nearly twenty remain in critical condition. the fire started early in the morning on the seventh floor of a public hospital in the taiwanese capital firefighters were able to contain and extinguish the blaze within an hour but its effects were devastating. sounds as though it wasn't on the minds of me it was unfortunate that the ward store was open when the fire broke out. as a result the smoke came inside up and sensible sort of song there are many mattresses made from polly your thing so the fine spread very fast and was relatively launch as a result. the country's premier expressed his condolences. the

fire broke out at the ministry of health and well first time pay hospital and caused many deaths and injuries. i would like to apologize to patients family members and to society on behalf of the executive. office of the new unions i think put out this offensive. it's still unclear what caused the fire but firefighters say they suspect it could have been triggered by an electrical fault there have been nine hospital fires in taiwan in the past decade claiming thirty seven lives right now an investigation continues into the blaze and many patients who were already gravely sick are now fighting for their lives. now to the u.s. where a white supremacist rally in washington d.c. fizzled out on sunday after only a handful of neo nazis showed up the supremacists were massively outnumbered by hundreds of counter protesters the rally was held on the first anniversary of a demonstration in charlottesville virginia where one woman was killed.

i think hundreds of people marching through washington to condemn racial hatred the year after a white supremacist rally in charlottesville ten deadly these counter-demonstrators far outnumber the white nationalist protest which is also being held the new u.s. capital yes it's vital that. we don't allow white supremacist and open fascists to take the street on contested i don't want nazis and white supremacists to speak for me i thought it was important to come out so that there's other voices to counteract them this empowerment of people who think that their congress and confort suit was easy because rights is way out of line and because it was against all ism in the documents that. agree pretty round twenty white nationalists was much smaller than expected it was escorted by hundreds of police officers who were

out in force to ensure no clashes erupted. the organizers downplayed their role in last year's violence. to side because he told me to use little. street police i mean i did a t.v. bashing but i. i i. think in charlottesville where the far right was forbidden to rally this year largely peaceful commemoration events white house last year hundreds of white nationalists descended on the city to protest the removal of a monument to confederate general robert c. late the rally ten violent protesters clashed with counter protest this combination the death of head the higher who was killed when a man trade his car into a crowd was. back in washington a downpour brought an end to a day of remembrance and protest without any violence.

our correspondent my schwager was at the demonstrations in washington here's her take on how the protests unfold. in washington d.c. there were far more counter protesters who converge on the city to stand against the white nationalist message of exclusion and saluting more than twenty percent of its value on friday the turkish lira has recovered slightly but it's still close to the old old time lows at the same time the government promises to plan to stop the liras freefall but with several problems hitting the turkish economy at once finding effective solutions will be a tough call the possible contagion effects on other emerging markets is making investors around the world increasingly nervous. and turkey's president at all one has responded to his country's economic crisis with a plan to boost investment meanwhile the lira is in freefall and while the turkish central bank has announced measures to help banks weather the storm ordinary

businesses are already feeling the pinch. enjoyed it if i'm in trade but my business is interrupted because i sell imported goods and therefore will date the prices today because the prices are pay for goods increased to twenty hours and as a result of currency fluctuation of which there would eventually people will be affected by that. hard work on measure down. and the central banks proposals have done little to quell the markets the euro has hit a one year low against the dollar prompting some experts to warn of contagion. the fall has certainly been dramatic the lira has lost about forty five percent of its value against the dollar since the beginning of the year. that means it has become extremely expensive for turkish businesses to service loans to foreign creditors that the leader of tumbles further corporate debt could explode and some foreign

banks could lose billions if the turkish boards default on loans. the chief economist at i n g d of a cost has lost again today just heard it in the report forty five percent since the beginning of the year now the turkish central bank has debts to provide liquidity and cut reserve requirements to talk these banks but is that enough. known not enough it's a like a band aid bit of capital injection make life a bit easier for banks but are we to solve the crisis with turkey would need a structural solution which also includes the central bank but which would mean that the central bank really has to show that it is fighting inflation and not only providing band aid in the fall of liquidity so it's all an interest rate hike. i think here think what do you look for through the eyes of investors read on financial markets what do they expect they they expect to be a independent central bank which is fighting interest inflation which would mean

for the interest rate hikes it is also financial markets which probably expect a government coming up with a clear pro growth oriented economic policies which are creating a friendly climate for foreign investors so that the foreign capital is not leaving the country because this is what is happening right now. we get that a lot recently that heads of government criticised their central bankers donald trump does that all the time as well is that a new trend that we're seeing there. it is a bit of a new trend as so many new trends i think also initiated by mr trump and you know we had the new trend in terms of that protectionism is better than free trade now we have the new trend that criticizing central banks and putting pressure on central banks seems to be the new trend in europe i think we've made extremely good experiences was showing that central banks do not react to political pressure remember the former e.c.b. president is

a dazzling bear who once said that central bankers are like with cream the harder you beat them the tougher they get. when actually. it's also have you seen or heard anything from entourage from the government that would harm investors' nerves i think right now there is still very little i think also investors are still waiting for for more to come from ankara and this more to come would really i think have to include really supporting the independence of the central bank showing that there is a pro growth oriented economic policies and you know it could still come but i think when you look at the day to day and the market reactions i think this is still too little for the eyes of financial markets to to really feel relief doesn't just be that chief economist of i and thank you very much. shares in the german chemicals giant buyer have plunged ten percent of the friday's

decision by a us court to order monsanto was by recently acquired to pay two hundred eighty nine million dollars in damages to a former groundskeeper duwayne johnson who suffers from lymphoma claims his cancer could have been caused by his contact with monsanto's round up weed killer jury agreement ruling that monsanto should have warned buyers that the product could cause cancer and observers believe thousands more claims could follow bias says the court's decision goes against overwhelming scientific evidence. now says a chief executive even musk says he's in talks with saudi arabia's sovereign wealth fund and other investors to take the electric car comic a private must said to saudi arabia's wealth fund has been pushing to take the private in talks dating back nearly two years u.s. market regulators last week reportedly asked the company to explain musts claim made on twitter that financing for such

a deal had been quote secured must said that since his twitter post last week the saudi funds managing director had expressed support for the deal subject to financial and other due diligence. the dead sea is shrinking by one metre every year the main reason for this alarming development falling water levels of the jordan river which feeds the death see bought industry also plays a part especially mining operations that extract minerals from the sea through. wellness and health tourists have long known the benefits of the mineral rich dead sea but not only the beauty industry is flourishing here. tel aviv based israel chemicals is the biggest company extracting minerals from the dead sea they've been doing so for more than six decades under a longstanding license these rail the government says mining activities make up around forty percent of the reason why the sea is drying up. the money it's all

active they have no incentive to reduce the amount of water they pump or even to think about it to think about from where they get the soil to build their dikes all the actions through which they actually destroy the environment are allowed on the the existing concession. the israeli government is now planning to return the mining rights in twenty twenty two eight years ahead of schedule it would be a one off chance to save new regulations and curb the impact the mining has on the environment israel could show leadership here in helping to stabilize the dead sea by putting in requirements that instead of just speak to the exploitation of the dead sea from the mineral industry to the sustainable utilize zation of the resources of the dead sea to benefit future generations. the big question now is whether israel chemicals will agree to an early returned the ditsy mining

concession is one of their core acids but off the role you can't extract minerals from a sea that isn't there anymore. i'll have more business for you a bit ledge on the shelf announced back to sony and a debate that has polarized judgments that's right get heard this is a debate that is over the wearing of the headscarf by some was when women critics say it is a sign of oppression by men supporters say in a democracy people should be allowed to dress as they please the debate is coming to a head in the german state of north rhine-westphalia the local government terrorist considering banning the headscarf for girls under the age of fourteen as did of these yelled us are back found out emotions are running high. and three classmates three muslim girls so he that has been wearing a headscarf since she was ten it bothers her that some politicians want to forbid girls from doing so. well on our screens this time only twelve minutes they say you

have to leave you head scarf i say no it's my choice you can't tell me what to do you know my parents you don't have custody of me and you can't make my decisions for me. i also want to wear a headscarf but only when i am older and mature enough to make my own decisions. but at what age are girls really old enough to make a conscious decision to wear islamic head covering the german state of north rhine-westphalia integration minister says that younger than fourteen is too young and he thinking about banning it if it was a stump speech the economy is very important to us we want women who voluntarily decide to wear a headscarf to be accorded full respect for society this is nothing to do with marginalization but we do not want young girls to be forced into it missed. most school girls here at elizabeth's elbert comprehensive school in bonn say they were the headscarf voluntarily. almost half the students here are

muslim but only very few of them actually where he jobs under the age of fourteen what is striking though all the girls i talked to say they plan to wear one in future some teachers are critical of this trend but they feel a ban would be counterproductive. the state islam teachers at the comprehensive school in bonn take a different approach. meir gunsmith at sea it's very important to me as a teacher to enter the debate this shouldn't be a straight ban but there should be a conversation with schoolgirls who are searching for answers wearing a headscarf is of course a symbol that strengthens one's identity so to ask about such a personal decision i can only do this when there's trust and a. sixth grade islam plus supposed to inspired this pupils to critically analyze the religion to make room for open discussion and allow different interpretations of the koran. you also have to think about how things were fourteen hundred years

ago and how things are today this is. not an easy task when it comes to the headscarf debate most children have taken on their parents' attitudes oh. well i think the children should wear a headscarf from puberty for me i just fourteen or fifteen so they don't get harassed or something just like. my sisters have also started wearing headscarves and i've seen them wearing them and i was the only one left so i said ok i'll put one on t.v. so. these are religious traditions that have continued and of course they're also seen as traditions by their families. and their own absolutely seen that way by the mosques. to have. them bow commish is trying to get his pupils to question traditions for him school is just the right place for it. you're

represents a new me who has been in prison for almost twenty five years seen continuously emphasis the freedom of speech and fun of the democracy party of china. for his her hook in trying. to. follow a shirt from. you know if you're trying to ensure. one hundred you don't try. let's get more on the story now is david missile the german journalism student who made that film he joins us for more hi david while you were filming outside that jail police detained you tell us more about what happened next. well i waited for this lawyer who was inside the prison and then after half an hour they came like two or three police cars by and they took me to because police station where they

let me wait for three hours and so just let me wait they didn't question me and then after the lawyer i accompanied also left the prison they questioned him and after this just let me go i went back to beijing on a board well. but finally in the end i didn't get my visa you didn't get your visa renewed we should say that you'd had been warned by the head of your program at your university in beijing that you should not make this film why did you decide to go ahead and do so. because i think it's an important topic it's a part of china and i did research on china for the past five years and i focused on a lot of stuff from my best europeans was about some tax reforms in china so no sensitive topic at all and now i thought it was the time to also do something on this topic so at the beginning of this year i decided to accompany these lawyers and their relatives to see how their life is like it's essentially journalistic work davidge

and journalists foreign journalist who want to work in china need to get a visa they need to get the right to work there did you try to pursue getting those documents. no because i did a massive program there i didn't want to do join i was in for a foreign media at that point of time i just wanted to finish my homework so that's that so i didn't get the visa now after your visa was not renewed we should say that you know you have to go home but in your film the people you were speaking to the lawyer of this pro-democracy dissidents some of the people that you spoke to were quite critical do you know about the consequences that they have faced i know that there are in that nobody has been arrested or so because i have been in contact with all the lawyers and also the wife of one lawyer i interviewed and i know they are still free but for sure you never know in china maybe they will be arrested the next that is that something that worried you a lot when you were making this film. for sure thought about it but.

what i think is those who have the public look at them they are not that likely to be put into prison at least that's what we see if we look at other cases for example some petitioners who knows nobody they are detained and really nobody knows what happened to them so this kind of public is all to some kind of safe way for them what do you think you took away from the interviews that you led with activists and lawyers during your filming. i think what i mean took away is that they are so bright they are still continuing their work although they know there are risks so they are really really really brave and i don't want to. miss this opportunity to to interview them because it's it's really these people are really sure it really. journalism student debit missal thank you so much for joining us on

our program and sharing your story with us. cubans are starting a debate on a new draft constitution today for the next four months people are being invited to voice their opinion on the document at hundreds of public events on the island a vote has been taken in february next year the new constitution would for the first time recognize the role of the market and the private sector but like the present document it would also declare cuba a socialist country and in trying the leading role of the communist party. cuban hotel i know julio rock a has been working in hospitality for more than a decade he's closely following the debate over amending cuba's soviet era constitution the national assembly has recognized the right to private property its decision could come into effect next year but even if it happens julio is not expecting china's overnight. i don't think that recognizing private property in the constitution will automatically mean that we'll see the creation of small and

medium sized private companies and cuba but it can nationalize simply said option of a draft constitution followed hated debate some lawmakers expressed concern that the changes could effectively made the end of communism julio feels insulted by some of what traditionalists had to say. fly heard me sing the national assembly over whether it would be right to allow artists and athletes to accumulate wealth. put it in and put in the one hundredth north talent and skill matters to me when people said it's a demeaning role they were degrading our country. to him for what he said in. private property and the role of the market and now set to be enshrined in the new constitution but this still has to be officially approved in a referendum. certainly when it does i agree with what's happening and i hope other

changes in our country will also be taken into account through further modifications of the constitution that mining a little a commitment to the same player the private sector should be recognized that companies like cooperatives are more in line with our system which is socialism is telling the head of the referendum the people of cuba will be able to have a say on the draft constitution. hotelier houllier ok is planning to attend bytes to propose his own ideas on what should happen next in previously. but individual enrichment always brings about a collective in richmond with. taxation i'm going to go through the creation of individual employment or else by creating improvements in a community. so entrepreneurship ought to be seen as a potential opportunity for the cuban government because it can assist in improving citizen's quality of life. for. many cubans hope the brand of

socialism set to be enshrined in the new constitution will bring them greater prosperity the vote has created a new debate over the country's future. not japan's economy is growing again get ahead is back with more on that as i think it's expanded by half a percent in the second quarter that's more than analysts had expected after contraction at the beginning of the year while the economic outlook has improved us to a nice try talks made little headway this week. it looks like japan's economy has bounced back after a worrying dipped in the first quarter of this year consumers are more confident and are spending more in an atmosphere of strong job growth providing a boost to gross domestic product from april to june g.d.p. showed a half percent expansion that was significantly better than had been expected the external environment however could be troublesome for japan's economy.

boy to work our g.d.p. can be widely influenced by various external environments such as trade hostilities between the united states and china there are unstable and unsure factors so i cannot say for sure it will continue to grow. for good deals. deals you know the. us president donald trump is pushing tokyo to sign a bilateral free trade agreement and threaten to impose higher tariffs on auto imports including those from japan that would hit the export sector of the world's third largest economy. the heat wave that has been hitting japan for the past few weeks is now tuna and cooled trucks until the last moment as aging air conditioners are struggling to keep temperatures in the market holds down the market opened in one hundred thirty five and is now set to move to

a more modern size fish than this can only hope it'll be one of the more modern cooling system. two months ago the u.s. imposed a twenty five percent on the e.u. still imports that was out of trade war and peace trip to washington by. president. so far to no avail so europeans still bite the bullet and find ways to stay competitive on the u.s. market for. the blocks of steel emerging here have a temperature of a thousand degrees celcius making them pliable for the gigantic presses which give them their final shape the b g h stainless steel works near flight tile an eastern germany processes a quarter of a million tons of steel every year mostly for the oil and chemical industries managing director sun kevin to hog sells ten percent of its plants annual output to the united states since this kind of steel is barely produced in the us the tire of

have had little effect on sales but the effect on prices has been significant. we have no alternative but to keep passing on the cost of the twenty five percent of tariff to our customers because our american buyers can't source what they need on their domestic market they have no choice but to absorb the increases. on. the stainless steel producer is in a relatively comfortable position because its products have little competition but plants making cheap steel for industries like construction are much more vulnerable their u.s. customers can obtain supplies domestically tariff free german chambers of industry and commerce analysts from the thai is worried about a more pernicious side effect of trumps tariffs countries like south korea india and china which used to export cheap steel to the us now need new markets.

they won't be able to sell as much the us now this will lead to a diversionary effect meaning more will make its way to europe that's ok as long as the economy's doing well but overall then we look at things we can see some very dark clouds gathering in this guy as if the global economy. managing director vinta haga is also worried about walkout happened if the global economy falters a slump in demand could lead to price dumping across the entire european steel markets. orders itself or to our way of approaching it is simply to keep our eyes on the costs we're busy taking a close look at our production processes here we're investing in our smelting technology and our rolling technology to make them more efficient and to remain competitive in any price war in the future as well. but even to hog are also hopes that american businesses will get trump to relent and drop the tariffs because in the end the towers make a lot of product over there more expensive even u.s.

consumers to foot most of the bill. the debate about the practicality of solar powered cars has been going on since the nine hundred eighty s. but now a group of german students reckon they've cracked is. vantage of the usually sunny weather to test the final development of the charging system of its so-called c it's an all electric vehicle with up on the top two top of the battery as you drive . this little car has come a long way since a couple of students built a prototype in their garage. the project was the brainchild of a group of university students in the southern german city of munich in twenty six they launched a crowdfunding campaign and raised nearly a million euros to build the car the munich based. unveiled the final prototype of busy on year. also hold. we've cleared the

entire shell with solar panels meaning on an average sunny day in munich we can generate up to thirty additional kilometers of range and that means for us and the community that we are able to significantly reduce the intervals when the car has to be charged particle are most likely it would seem. that added range should come any fears about reaching the next charging station before the lights go out and the team at solar motors have made the design practical. it should be a car that can be used every day and has a large trunk space with six hundred fifty liters where everything fits in like a pram or the shopping with a towbar it can also pull a trailer so it's overall i have a comprehensive car which is very simple without frills. and is the z.

rely on experts to take measurements individuals without prior medical knowledge can use the app themselves in a slum in mumbai where we had some walkers coming from the slum we tried it out with them how simple it was for them to get to malnutrition and therefore to the clinic and they were very comfortable in doing so. the app uses smartphone sensors to create a three d. model of humans don't know valuate key parameters and compares the readings with standard values marcus' much you check develop the app in his spare time. does the slums get to go into a month and see a family of six sleeping eating and living in a tiny space and no sanitation three choices thousand people then you know something has to be done. and the people committed to taking action have to be

given. to carry out as efficiently as possible. technology is free yet sensible and used responsibly it can open up huge opportunities and help make the world a fair up place. today we saw some really interesting examples in that report there how else are apps helping people in need well there's another really cool app that i want to share with you that's helping farmers in kenya who've been hit by a failed crops and unstable markets and farm creates transparency it's for transparency first of all farmers in kenya and it also tells them basically how to run their farms it gives them invaluable tips it tells them which crops will be most in demand when so that they can plant the right seeds and harvest at the best time also lets them sell their goods directly to buyers so they can cut out expensive intermediaries previously a lot of farmers relied on the middlemen to tell them the price and to provide

buyers this gives them a lot more agency and it makes their businesses much more profitable apps like this one just show us that this is sort of it sort of the iceberg and how much potential our technology has to do a lot more than help us take cooler selfies yet really useful stuff there david and we have more on these apps on our website. w dot com slash culture we've got lots more on digital culture and of course culture of all kinds there david leavitt's from the culture thank you very much fink you sent me. to sports now and in football byron munich have won their first piece of silverware of the new season after beating frankfurt in the german super cup the reigning league champs were in unstoppable form of edgeley winning the game five nil the result made it a happy return for byron's new coach nico cope that shoe won the german cup with frankfurt just a few months ago. niko kovac to return to his old stomping ground in frankfurt and he was feeling the love. but on the pitch he was looking to defeat his former club
