color of a warm welcome to you on the dock cheema turkey central bank says it's ready to take all necessary measures to shore up the country country's currency the announcement comes after a leader tumbles to a new low against the dollar and fears grew that the crisis could spread to other markets the currency has those dime desir were berries about the turkish president's increasing control over the economy and as a diplomatic dispute escalates between turkey and the united states. the president received time on says the country is facing an economic siege but he's also seeking to reassure citizens have a listen will solve a lot of course we're taking the necessary steps against these attacks together with the finance ministry and other institutions and we will continue to take them

there's a little. moment in i believe that the currency rate will return to a reasonable level don't worry. richard. joining me now in the studio is belied by he's an this is a think tank the global public policy institute welcome by lots. of if you don't have to say he's going to reassure the citizens of to again your assessment how serious is the situation the situation is quite serious it's it's kind of shocking because believe our last. value against the dollar against the euro of around thirty five to forty percent that this enormous from the beginning of this year imagine if you are a businessman in turkey and you have. a loan you have to pay almost double back that is a serious question also for our drawn because his strength was always the economy and now it's a weak point for him and one reason for this of course is the dispute between the

united states and and tell a key and. i don't have gone so far as to say i mistyped looking for allies and i'm just thinking might mean russia how likely is that well there's a risk turkey is already shifting towards russia in terms of values is shifting towards russia in terms of syria policy but to be honest syria is not the real the toilet or for turkey. looking from an economy point of view. russia is not the alternative in terms of security pulled politics because russia is not a reliable and resistant or resilient part of pataki. so this is why turkey would remain like within the western institutional architecture. as we all know the shiftings to from one pole to another happen gradually so there is the risk maybe the purchase of the s four hundred. of them might be

against it was that the good you do it has been using very strong lent language when talking about need to he's talked about being stabbed in the back my used to teach and. he's talked about the country being on the economic season he's talked about you know economic terror on social media against his country how why did should need to be about such comments and. as reliable need to ally well there are two reasons why our dawn is doing that the first reason is by portraying an enemy from outside he is shifting the responsibility from his misguided and failed economy and fiscal politics and policies towards an exterior dynamic. also he knows that rebelling and protesting against the west particularly against the united states gives him political credibility gives him support from

his voters that's the reason so he wants the turkish people to unite in these difficult times. how difficult. how serious is that problem. as i said turkey perceives as the current debate or the current crisis not as a crisis with the nato but as a bilateral one with the united states. which is far more a conflict which is far more risky is the conflict in syria but it is isn't he playing with fire he's prepared to sacrifice his big international relations for domestic policy goals while he is doing the classic brinkmanship so going towards the other end stressing the relationship as much as possible but he knows that how valuable these there was the relation to the west of he does is why he is still loyal to the e.u. migration deal with would be european nations so he tries kind of to balance out

to to shift the responsibility but still be loyal to. the old. and out of this with the deal that public policy institute thank you very much thank you. mrs munt is closely watching those developments and whether the tech case ticky to a crisis believed to destabilize asian stuff has the details. and let's take a look at one of the strongest indicators of this crisis is the exchange rate of the turkish lira clawed back somewhat on monday after the country's central bank said it would provide liquidity and cut reserve requirements for banks in the last week the turkish currency hit a record low against the dollar it shed more than forty percent of its value since the beginning of the year the fallout from the nearest plunge sent the euro to a new thirteen month low and hammered emerging market currencies as investors worried about contagion. now for some more analysis let's bring in jenkins

he's a turkey expert at the institute for security and development policy welcome to the program garth how big is the chance that this turns into an international crisis i think a lot depends on what happens next as you mentioned there is the experience that contagion if you were in that script leons monotheists that can tell you. mr crusade is going to go down but at the moment we're seeing no indication he's going to act very quickly and if we have a complete meltdown and to hear of course that's going to her it's enough repercussions president on says economic terrorists as he calls them would face the full force of the law for spreading false reports and plotting to harm turkey those are not the right steps to contain this crisis i would assume in your opinion. no trying to shoot the messenger is not the way to go and that's what we've seen today with your people being arrested to have investigations against what they posted on

on social media and it doesn't of course address the main problem which is the amount of the turkish air around the weakness of the church economy now turkey central bank plays a crucial role here yet many foreign investors seem to doubt its independence why would a political of war involvement in a central bank policy be particularly hazardous here we've seen with acting on people he said he doesn't believe in interest he thinks that higher interest rates cause higher inflation which goes against the economic orthodoxy and we know that the easiest way to try to stand the hemorrhaging of the turkish there is the hike interest rates and we've seen a central bank do some other things which is really apply plastic where we need some really strong measures such as the hiking interest rates and we are one hundred percent confident the reason they can't do that is that one himself a missed out on says this crisis is part of an economic war with the united states

and after all u.s. president donald trump triggered last week's events by doubling the import tariffs for turkish steel and aluminum so would you agree that this is an economic war against turkey by the united states no i think that become pulling of the tariffs on i mean steel was a political decision but what we been waiting for something to happen in the turkish economy for quite a long time the expectation was it was going to come in a month or two months later on this political crisis not with the u.s. it's just really acted as a trigger and reveal the underlying big this is a commie that's not the reason that turkish fear is crashing so walk us down the line what does turkey what does the president of turkey have to do to restore confidence in his country. the first thing he has to do is to do something and it's now eight days since the crisis really grow since the u.s.

impose sanctions on his ministers but we still haven't seen any real measures perfessor not because that began it's a substantial rise in interest rates just this as an immediate manager trying to stop the cemetery and then needs to be doing house to show that it's going to allow the central bank to be independent and introduce a comprehensive plan to try to write some of the problems in the economy so the interest rate hike has to come darryl jenkins of the institute for security and development policy talking to us from istanbul gareth thank you so much. shares in germany chemicals giant buyer plunged ten percent on monday after lex of last week's decision by a us court to order monsanto which buyer recently acquired to pay almost three hundred million dollars in damages to a grounds keeper the wayne johnson who suffers from lymphoma claims his cancer could have been caused by his contact with monsanto's roundup weed killer the jury

but now a group of german students reckon they've cracked it a german startup has taken advantage of the unusually sunny weather to test the final development of the charging system of its scion car it's an all electric vehicle with solar panels to top up the batteries 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 sixteen they launched a crowdfunding campaign and raised nearly a million euros to build the car the munich base to start up so no motors unveiled the final prototype of busy on in july last year. so i wasn't holding thoughts in fact i did we've clad 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 while it would have parts of the law that most likely it would seem. that added range should calm any fears about reaching the next charging station before the lights go out and the team at santa motors have made the design practical. his father son 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 over all i have a comprehensive car which is very simple without frills. and is the z on affordable well the first models are expected to hit the market for just sixteen thousand euros plus the battery cost around four thousand euros the company says some seven thousand cars have already been preordered and will be produced by the end of next

year. i'll be back later in the show for now back to on radio and a controversial discussion here in germany that's right pissed off and that debate is over the reading off the headscarf by some muslim women the critics say it's a sign of oppression but supporters say in a democracy people should be allowed to dress as they please and the debate is coming to a head in the state of north wind disfigure here in germany they look at government there is considering banning the headscarf for girls under the age of fourteen as did. found out emotions are running high. and shine 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. little right just because it's only twelve minutes they say

you have to leave your headscarf 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 no point with various integration minister says that younger than fourteen is too young and he thinking about banning it if it was a strong speech the economy's 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 behaved. most google's here at elizabeth delbert 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 job 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 to the state islam teachers at the comprehensive school in bonn take a different approach. gunsmiths to see 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 school girls 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 this trust and. sixth grade islam plus is supposed to inspired these peoples to critically analyze the religion to make room for open discussion and allow different interpretations of the koran as we know you also have to think about how things were fourteen hundred years ago and how things are today with the full. not an easy task when it comes to the headscarf

debate most children have taken on their parents' attitudes. like think that children should wear a headscarf from puberty from the age of fourteen or fifteen so they don't get harassed or something just like. my sisters have also started wearing head scarves 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 there are also seen as traditions by their families. and their own absolutely seem that way by the mosques. from. all of them both commish is trying to get his pupils to question traditions for him school is just the right place for it the the low. lifing i'll bring you up to date at some

has been launched into the cause of the blaze the fire broke out on the seventh floor of the building which was used as a hospice for till mentally 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 being from central. 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 extinguished the place 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 there's a whole sort of song there are many mattresses made from poly your thing so the fire spread very fast and was relatively large 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 singled 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 had the 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

for a story of a man who went to study and journalism in china daveed misawa was halfway through a lost as a prestigious university in beijing they decided to make a video profile off the lawyer of a pro democracy dissident that got him into trouble with the authorities and his visa was nothing new and we talked to him in just a moment but first here's an excerpt from his video project. in two days the lawyer in the people's republic of china but he's different from most other lawyers in the middle kingdom here are those whom the chinese state fears today he is on the way to see it evoke crissy activist together with a fellow lawyer from tel than china he represents a new woman 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 him try one. follow shirt from. you know if you try and share. interesting. don't you count how. joining me now is a dove admissable a german journalism student who made that film we just saw an example of that welcome da vinci now why do filming outside the jail the police detained you what happened next. next they took me to the police station close by they didn't tell me a reason they just took me on their car and then we drove for ten minutes and the police station then we went for three hours but in question either just that we wait and then finally i could leave ok now but you can been warned by the head of your program at university in beijing not to make that sin why did you still go

ahead and do it because i think it's an important topic and especially out as far as we need to focus on this topic otherwise there is nobody who focus on these topics so i thought i have to do this especially after i did work on a lot of other topics during my bachelor's i bash is in chinese studies i did something on tax reforms and a lot of other stuff so i thought now it's time to also focus on these maybe not that positive topics about china now after you made the film the chinese authorities decided not to deny you your visa so you had to do the country right yet so what about the others you sure in your project openly criticizing government policy i have learned about the consequences they might face. well i know that they are all fine because i'm still contacting what's so are they they they they have no problems after that and one is like this if people are in public then the

chinese government doesn't dare to just take them away to just put them into prison so that also might be some kind of help for them ok so in the public eye the certain degree of protection is what you're saying thank you said that for you our journalism studies in china one experiment for you what do you mean by that well i wanted to see how do they teach journalism in china or is it similar to germany or not and what i feel like we're teaching itself there are a lot of similarities but if you do sensitive topics such as items then they are not so happy about that so human rights is a sensitive topic there yeah absolutely if you do anything that is real to human rights i guess most of universities and. government department are not happy about that and what does it take away from the interviews which you had with the activists and their lawyers as well i think they are really brave these people are

so brave because it's really dangerous what they do some of them get arrested and they still continue doing their work because they think it's worth it they think they need to fight for this more just china so that's the main thing i got to know during this research. from idealism seared into david missile thank you very much for talking to the davian sharing your experience with us. you're watching new day of news coming up ahead developers and entrepreneurs create new apps to fight inequality one example is already helping tackle malnutrition. that's one thing to climb a mountain and quite another to offend it in the fastest possible time that's was the aim of the space extreme mountain climber donny on the road when he skid the north face off the goal shot out in the abs on reach the summit of the four thousand two hundred meter mountain in a wreck go to an ounce and four minutes i'll be back with you shortly meanwhile

he would reject the results for drawn off hands on sunday alleging cheating he asked the people to rise up against what he called the dictatorship a fraud. being counted in the country's presidential runoff offer a tense election that was maad by violence the incumbent abraham global khaki to is widely expected to win the vote the result is due later this week. string checks at polling stations security measures were once again stepped up for molly's presidential election runoff voters chose between the incumbent president eba him. and opposition leader soon my lessees a seventy three year old cape to said he was confident of victory after topping the poll in the first round of voting. but many in the country were unhappy with the outcome. and. i'm

a bit disappointed with how the first round went but unfortunately i don't expect much to change in the second round. the opposition are concerned about voter fraud demonstrating in the capital bamako at the weekend. plus many were unable to vote in the first round that's after around seven hundred polling stations were closed due to violence from groups but an opposition challenge to the result was dismissed by the constitutional court. in all the money as a haven for islamist insurgents that temporarily took control of the region in two thousand and twelve three years later a peace deal was signed with the government now monitored by un troops the german army is also involved but it's a fragile peace attacks a frequent i left. that we need peace and stability in the country because our economic development social development everything at stake for mali cannot materialize without peace and stability. but. this will be the

most important task for the future presidents. joining me now live is john the sobran pos the most he joins me on the line from mali's capital bamako welcome brown the opposition candidate so minus the sea has honest people to rise up alleging fraud on the likely to he does school. well he's his words in the french language are movie result show which is not necessarily the same as rising up but he subtly called for that say increased vigilance not quite clear what exactly he meant by that phrase but yes the contestation of the result is clear he's not happy about the results and he has repeated his allegation that there has been a large scale changing whether the people will follow him is another question obviously i don't really think molly ins are ready to put their lives on the line for i have been politician to put it in

a slightly harsher way as ordinarily and than most citizens observed a group and said that a number of polling stations looking news on the day of the runoff vote was added to security reasons. yes there were about sixty polling stations in the north and in the center of the country that have to be closed down or were voting had to be abandoned as a result of either security threats that were made by telephone or in any other way or by armed men entering those places and making sure the voting will stop but more of the it's actually more remarkable than this is the fact that only one fifth of the entire registered electorate actually bothered to come out and cast their votes the same observatory the same of the citizens observatory has come out with the figure of about twenty two point three percent voter participation with the highest being in the north watch surprisingly in places like to move to the lows in the southwest place like cigars to work been only twenty percent of voters actually

turn up so that's an indication of the people being fed up with the political system they consider detached and corrupt and unaccountable that's much more of a reason for the low turnout then the security issues which were actually reduced ask a man in the first round if it was using a very low voter turnout across the country how much how free and fair was at this look in your assessment vif if you can. yes well the european observer mission the european union observer mission has called for transparency but that has very much to do with the actual announcement of the results rigging has always been alleged i mean free and fair is pretty much an empty term in a place where every loser of a presidential election has been claiming that the other side has been cheating and mind you the incumbent president who probably has won is going to look at k. to detach himself on two occasions in two thousand and two and two thousand and

seven when he lost to ban possumus in the market thank you very much for that live update from there you're welcome. turning now to kenya where president hu kenyatta has asked the young people in the country to make citizen arrests of those suspected of corruption not commuter told students at an event on sunday not to be afraid and take those arrested to police that he added the power is in your hands to end the vice in this country and event father and he said according to authorities that vice of corruption cost the country nearly six billion a year and the president himself declared corruption a national security threat in two thousand and fifteen but critics argue nothing much has come off that ok now let me you know one of the. projects there which has been sort of accuse of being

a very corrupt project is a real be a project report now by our correspondent catherine bond. welcome to nairobi national park the only national park in the world that directly borders the city. if you're lucky you'll spot will debase giraffes and even there every loose of pride of lions. but looking at the land from the you notice a different kind of creature the standard gauge railway authorities say out of seven possible routes this was the best option. what we established was that all those other possible route one were going to have a lot more impact on the park because we're going to acquire more land from the national park in excess of one hundred fifty thousand. but what the option that we took was an option of building a bridge across the national we're building a bridge one hundred meter to pass for

a bridge or five point eight kilometers the amount of land that bridge on the national park is zero point one zero point five one of a nickel that is half an acre of land. but environmentalist accuse the kenyan government of not following due process before construction began. well it's really a sequence of very unfortunate events starting off really very poorly planned indeed security. plans for the federal standard is really continue i think the current at the moment reading the railway he's being done through the nairobi national park in contravention of who is stopping it. and the reasons why companies such as ourselves and other concerned the decisions went to court to stop it was because we feel the rights of the flooding was not considered. executed when you about disclosure it's like to say we need

a nose in particular environment who knows while the train will offer passengers a view of a life time while passing through the national park conservationists are concerned that this construction will affect the ecosystem and the wildlife that live here smoked i'm sure he would be and you talk also because you've seemed to be lost in the fall you know for the foundation for the photos for the railway it's extra so yes the. temporary barriers the plastic ways to make it all have impact and the like before but again none of that has been studied previously honestly has been cheated for we need to get in measures. the project has been a controversial topic in kenya even before construction four years ago the first phase which runs from kenya's coastal city of mumbai to nairobi has already been completed. the second phase is what you see here. at nearly five million euros

a kilometer construction has cost the country two point eight billion euros in loans from the chinese government report suggests that more than eight million euros has been lost in dubious land compensation deals. and with the railway running through a national heritage site many kenyans are concerned the country isn't getting value for money. the government says it will rehabilitate the land once construction is finished before wildlife populations it may already be too late. and that report on the s.g. art project was by our correspondent catherine wonder she now joins me live from nairobi welcome catherine the first let's talk with the president kenyatta has been telling the young people of the country he says they should go and arrest people who they think are corrupt what can you tell us about this rather unusual corner

i think katherine can't hear me we will cry in come to her later you can of course see her but her so i'm sorry we'll try and establish that audio connection later but let me in the meantime take you to africa where africa's giants are under threat sadly in most african countries elephant populations have been dribbling due to poaching tanzania is one country that's been hard hit by this in only a few years between two thousand and nine and two thousand and fifteen tanzania's elephant population decline from one hundred nine thousand to just forty three pounds and over the years conservationists have been working with locals to bring these numbers back up the locals such as general be good are central to that effort he has dedicated his entire life to protecting elephants in tanzania has sent a spock have a look. at gerald from tanzania has spent most of his life trying

to protect wildlife this year he won the german africa prize and i want presented by the german africa foundation two outstanding individuals who have dedicated themselves to social causes in africa. i'm actually happy and very proud to be have been part. of the many who is contribution is responsible for this safe status of biodiversity in tanzania big group is doing the rounds in salou wildlife park as the human population has risen in tanzania people and wildlife have had to compete for land and food but for elephants in particular they ease another threat poaching. email. and said it. was ravaged by touching and you could see.

that had been mowed down by rifle fire almost everywhere so it was a very challenging period and my disposable was to work with everybody i could get on that porch and tied around. but it hasn't been easy missing equipment a lack of financial support from the government and poor infrastructure can all bring things to a grinding halt. are going to be. as they should really. look like that i never. thought i would get. this time they were able to get back on track the group at once young people to take responsibility for times and his wild animals he say's

a social and political stability go hand in hand with protecting nature. i'm sorry one able to establish a line to cats and one do in nairobi but christoph is here and he's going to be talking about environmental pressure pressure that's right i'm rita and from east africa we go further north the dead sea which is trying to get by one metre every year the main reason for this alarming development falling water levels of the jordan river which feeds the dead sea but industry also play a part especially mining operations that extract minerals from the sea. 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 the israeli government says mining activities make up around

forty percent of the reason why the sea is drying up. the money it's all elected and 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 the 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 years ahead of schedule it would be a one off chance to set new regulations and kind of 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 utilise ation of the resources of the dead sea to benefit future generations. the big question now is

whether israel chemicals will agree to an early read send the ditsy mining concession as one of their core assets but off the role you can't extract minerals from a sea that isn't there anymore. now the heat wave that has been hitting japan for the last two weeks is now also impacting a true institution of japanese culture the famous pre-dawn tuna auction at the world's biggest fish market fishmongers here have had to keep their children in cool trucks until last fall and as aging air conditioners are struggling to keep temperatures in the market halls down the suki g market opened in one hundred thirty five and is now set to move to a more modern site fishmongers can only hope it'll be one with a more modern cooling system. two months ago the united states imposed tariff on still imports there was outrage and talk of a trade war and a peace keeping trip to washington. so far to no avail so you

have to bite the bullet and find ways to stay competitive on the market. 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 directors and kevin to hog cells ten percent of his 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. 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 but german chambers of industry and commerce analysts from cateye 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 is doing well but overall then we look at things we can see some very dark clouds gathering in the sky as if the global economy.

managing director vinta haga is also worried about walkout happen if the global economy falters a slump in demand could lead to price dumping across the entire european steel markets. our way to approach in 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 harbor 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 leaving us consumers to foot most of the bill. now and the curtain raiser on germany's ball season and what a game it was completely one sided thank you very much christophe now by new day guess what by munich one their first piece of silver wear off the new season after

beating frankfurt in the german super cup the reeling league champions were in unstoppable form eventually winning the game five the result that made it a happy return for bynes new coach watch who won the german cup at frankfurt just a few months ago. nico returned to his old stomping ground in frankfurt and he was feeling the love. put on the pitch he was looking to defeat his former club. at the start frankfurt brought physicality and looked ready for the match but biron opened up the scoring in the twenty first minute the pass from yahshua can make set up robert levin dusty to head in and give biron in early my then things got a bit heated between marco fabienne and goalscorer eleven dogs and the pole gave the perfect response again with this he was great for goal keeper frederick grunow looked uncertain to nail biter hummels was lucky not to get

a red card for this fallon me i got sheet of it. after the break byron took advantage again through that window steve who concluded his hat trick was but biron weren't finished kings the komondor added another to poor sod in the eagles' newmans was and then tiago added a fifth goal to seal the game was he coco botches new side demolished his old one they probably won't give him such a warm welcome next time though when is byron's seven super cup victory. when you talk koch it's often about film music. and of course about ideas today they're going to talk about digital culture and how digital innovation can be such

a force for good developers an entrepreneur who is creating new apps to give a boost to people in emerging economies one of the is opening up in job opportunities also helping tact the hunger and malnutrition a problem that affects hundreds of millions of people specially children. with me in the studio david leavitt's desk and david tell us about some of these apps. a force for good absolutely what's actually what's really striking to me is that these are the same technologies that are developed actually for comfort and entertainment mostly of people in wealthy countries but if you turn them around and repurpose them they can actually save human lives and just one example you know you take your smartphone the camera on it a lot of people young people you see around here berlin using that on snap chat snap chat is recognizing their face it's creating sort of a three d.

image of that maybe putting some puppet yours on it maybe a little bunny knows what you can use that same technology with a different app. to identify malnutrition and children who are living in poverty and hopefully get them the help that they need and time so there's a lot of potential here this is really just the beginning of the iceberg with take a look at some of these apps. and digital specialists from all over the won't gather in germany to discuss global inequalities and how best to combat them. digital technology is important for fighting global inequalities because it is perhaps digital and all the technology is made up perhaps the most important innovation of this time that goes from ops to resource isn't it relevant content. in relevant languages to the different groups this is absolutely fundamental. in kenya apps are already tackling some local issues

a few years ago a telecoms company introduced a digital payment system and a billing people without bank accounts to conduct transactions this inspired other similar projects such as little catch a taxi service not unlike in the us female customers can explicitly request a woman at the wheel which has in turn also helped to boost the number of female drivers it's the best option. that people get fifteen asking for handouts from me. anyway and then back on german geo the tommy hilfiger has developed a child's growth monitor to detect mao nutrition in children instead of having to rely on experts to take measurements individuals without prior medical knowledge can use the app themselves in a slum in mumbai where we had walkers coming from the slum and we tried it out with

them how simple it was for them to be there to malnutrition and therefore to clean it and they were very comfortable in doing so. the app uses smartphone sensors to create a three d. model of humans then evaluate the parameters and compares the readings with standard values marcus' much you check develop the app in his spare time. the money does the slums give him more bones and you go into a mum by saddam and see a family of six sleeping eating and living in a tiny space with no sanitation three toilets for a thousand people then you know something has to be done. and the people committed to taking action have to be given through to carry out their working as efficiently as possible. when judge talk technology is freely accessible and you. used responsibly it can open up huge opportunities and help make the world a fair up place. so we saw two very useful

apps and david thank you very much for that for telling us about how apps can be used for very useful needs in an emerging economy that's it for me i'm such evil thank you very much for your company more news coming up for you at the top of the hour. i'm sure. some.
