this is deja vu news live from berlin a court in malaysia rules the trial of two women accused of killing the half brother of north korean leader kim jong un can proceed the women are accused of poisoning him young in a brazen head that all important airport their families say they were tricked into carrying out the attack now don't have to enter their defense we're going to let just. hope spate of finding any more survivors under the highway bridge that collapsed in genoa and with at least thirty nine people confirmed dead the debate over who's to blame is heating up. and the march of mothers and

a legal demonstration goes ahead in support of the russian teenagers jailed for founding and anarchist group action activists saying they are children who have been framed by the authorities. i'm serious almost comical to have you with us two young women accused of killing the estranged half brother of north korea's leader at kuala lumpur airport last year are set to face a murder charge a malaysian judge has ruled that there is sufficient evidence for their trial to continue and ask them to enter their defense the vietnamese and indonesian women face the death penalty if convicted in the killing of kenyan naam they allegedly smeared his face with a banned nerve agent as he waited to board a flight of a woman say they thought they were taking part in a prank for a t.v. show. let's go right to kuala lumpur correspondent sandra that so is standing by

just outside the courthouse sandra so the two women were actually expecting perhaps to find out if they'd be acquitted today we've now heard that there's not going to be a verdict why is that what's the court been saying. first of all we have to say both woman pleaded not guilty they claimed that they are both part of a prank show that there are hidden camera asked that have are that they were hired by t.v. producers from china and japanese to commit those acts as though they claimed they had no idea the jack shit and today had to decide whether that most believable although of the prosecution had gathered enough information enough proof that the contra we could be true and just cited today that the try should go on and he claimed that the pressure prosecution sat the two woman out of the egg looked pretty tense and they rushed off to the washrooms apparently to wash off that their

hands so use that as a fact to save all this trial has to go on and they must have known all of that as a high possibility that they knew something was under the defense teams are saying that these two women were scapegoats you know how credible is that and who do they believe is actually behind this. yeah the defense side says well those two womans they had those two woman they had no idea. two poor woman from a country side working in you know a spot year in malaysia and they were hired by those what they believed were t.v. producers but during the trial those what they claim but if you produce i actually work for suspects from north korea so that came into the play and the defense can cite claims you have to look at the bigger picture and it might be a political act and those poor woman as they say might only have been used and they

see as a proof that they don't did not try to escape they just went on with their long will live off of the acts contrary to the force of the suspects the north koreans to change that close at the airport and then went off took the next plane to fly out of the country and sundry just briefly if you can what happens next. well the trial goes on and now the defense side has to prove they are two women the indonesian woman and the vietnamese woman are innocent which will be very hard since we know that a lot of suspects and also koreans are at large and you know from the investigations from the office vets of the north korean side is not availing to cooperate and they even claim that north korea has nothing to do with all of that so it's going to be very hard to prove. that so for us outside the courthouse there

in kuala lumpur thank you very much to genoa now where rescue teams are still working to pull survivors and bodies from the rubble of the collapsed highway bridge at least thirty nine people were killed when a stretch of the morandi bridge collapsed on tuesday the government has a clear day year long state of emergency for the region but with hopes of finding more survivors fading anger is growing over how such a disaster could have happened. as hopes of finding survivors fades the blame game intensifies officials initially pointed the finger at the e.u. accusing it of limiting funding for infrastructure past the focus of criticism is now shifting to alter started the company responsible for the bridge locals say the long been concerned about its upkeep. when we drive on this motorway and it's full of traffic automatically trying to go over

doing little to help those suffering the consequences of this catastrophe thing clear the hundreds of residents who've been evacuated from this area it's feared that part of the bridge still standing may yet come crashing down. come l.a. works nearby he says authorities have given him no indication when he'll be able to return. it but when the city manager if we talk about a week it's still sustainable but if the area is not accessible for a month then there's a huge problem. because there are hundreds of people who have to go to work. there on the water. meanwhile the rest of the city is watching in horror as this crisis unfolds the disasters raise serious questions about the safety of a sleaze roads and bridges with many asking if this can happen here was next.

a union of european football associations votes in late september. it's time for business news with javier now and other tesla could be in some serious trouble that's right and it's something that we don't hear that often actually who usually have good news about tesla but now u.s. media reporting that the electric car maker has been subpoenaed by u.s. federal regulators the securities and exchange commission is stepping up its investigation into the recent tweets by tesla c.e.o. musk last week he wrote that he had secured enough funds to take the company private but now the authorities want to know whether his tweet was factual under u.s. law companies and their senior level management cannot share misleading information with shareholders publicly traded companies disclose major plans such as an acquisition to the board of directors and to regulators before making an announcement. to a story we've been following all week turkish industries are having a hard time with the country's economic turmoil inflation currency routes and steep

tariffs are affecting those who sell their products abroad but not all is lost especially in an export sector that has prospered in the last twenty years now it's up to turkey's political leaders to make sure it stays afloat. jamil there is so glue has survived a few financial crises during his thirty eight year career the is to base producer of electric parts for cars and buses can still remember turkey's last economic crash that was in two thousand and one when he was forced to turn off his machines the situation today is different however. the news of turkey today has a potential export volume of one hundred sixty billion dollars annually the nation has developed a production based economy over the last twenty years before there was almost nothing produced that could be exported. within the pinon. well many turkish firms are gripped by losses and fears of bankruptcy exporters like the middle sized i

know are showing fewer signs of panic after all they continue to bring in dollars and euros at least in part next to tourism turkey's export sector brings in the most foreign currency that doesn't mean it's safe from the inflation and currency falloff of recent weeks however when i got the after them we purchased our materials in part overseas but we still get a lot from local companies lately more of these liveries have been falling through because the businesses have come to a standstill. that the trade conflict with the u.s. would affect only the steel industry is a commonly held belief here because europe is turkey's most important trading partner not the u.s. or russia nearly half of all turkish exports go to the e.u. . yeah turkish industry is tightly bound with europe for example mercedes buses are built here and we deliver parts for it. for turkish industry the way out of the current crisis is clear

a good relationship between the country and the e.u. economically but also politically. and for more on the subject i'm now joined by frank kaiser deputy managing director of the german chamber of commerce in turkey it's good to have you with us good morning to you and thank you very much for joining us on the w.b. now you've been of course talking to german and turkish businesses in these past few days analyzing the situation what can you tell us about the current mood among entrepreneurs after the recent developments or the current period good morning first of all. could be described as well so there's a lot of concern but there's more. to come of course used. time and and i think they're waiting and waiting for the developments

and what would you expect those developments to be is there any sort of prediction of what you think could happen next. well of course hopefully we all would like to see that conflict the trade will be. very quickly because these kind of trade was never benefiting anything anymore and it better be going on because it would be detrimental to turkey so basically we are looking with mainly two scenarios that worst case scenario best case scenario right now we would have to we would have to wait whether their currency is stabilizing and we have seen we have second first steps and. became a little bit stronger and and. we're trying to deal with i think the main thing as we get the military and predictability it's not so much that.

actually rush with not being devaluating it just needs to be predictable and then the companies can kind of. you know we saw as you just mentioned earlier recover quite quickly but let's talk about the long term damage especially to the country's image because that might be one of the key issues actually for investors for example how do you assess that. i agree. if you look at turkey and you compare it with. what in turkey. you can see that. turkey has basically. been means in line to be very successful and to create a boom and what we saw at the beginning of this of this country was that turkey came well crisis with hyper inflation which we don't see right now another decade of brilliant growth so that there's

a lot that still speaks for turkey as you point out what needs to be this is the trust trust and for rockets into basically basically that. the german chamber of commerce in turkey giving us the insight thank you very much thank you very much. now we turn our attention to the u.k. where farmers say that breaks it could threaten the country's food supply for years subsidies have helped farmers plant their crops and foreign workers have helped harvest them now the threat of losing this watch the report takes us to the south east county of kent art of our series wrote two bricks in a reporter's. market not just and a big it master travelling around europe and the u.k. trying to understand the full impact of the upcoming divorce between britain and the e.u. . from. lettuce as far as the eye can see and one million

heads of lettuce are harvested here in cans in the southeast of england everything . taken by hand by eastern european workers. i don't think. people realized how much we depend on foreign labor coming in. steven betts is a fourth generation lettuce grower he employs about one hundred thirty sees no one as his farm most of them come from romania as e.u. citizens they can work here with out and be sucked but with directed looming that freedom of movement is now one death threat and with that stevens entire business if there's no labor coming in. this virtually this is going to be no food. we've got to have the labor coming in there's no question about. all importing a lot of food from the rest of the world. so we've got that choice. and britain's

agricultural sector is already feeling the consequences of bracks and this year there were twenty percent fewer sees no workers to help out u.k. farms. about one hour to the east lice kevin edwards for his family has been growing cereal crops for over eighty years they rely on big machines and that also means speak investments. but because of rex it kevin this unwilling to spend money on an uncertain future his business will lose essentially you subsidies and potentially any prospects for the future. we could easily see. a very substantial percentage of problems disappear family found just go on and that won't be something you can do saudi five or ten years time politically we got our. because it will be once wellness leave the land and go on something else

to do i generally don't come back on the right. so coming back that might also apply to steven betts sees more workers next year in march britain will exit the european union and stephen still doesn't know if after that you will find enough people to harvest this talent in this city. and a quick look into the future now can go sworn us one of all cato is about to erupt or when an earthquake is going to happen well german and russian researcher thinks so and that's how the it chris project was born it aims to monitor the behavior and migration habits of birds animals and even insects around the world so we can learn more about our earth now the project has taken a huge leap forward with the installation of the icarus tracking system on the international space station. so you just said it took the cosmonauts all of. the of nearly eight hours to install an antenna on the external surface of the

international space station it's a last missing piece of the world wide animal tracking system called it charisse this blackbird is one of the creatures that will be monitored it's fitted with a tiny sense a tag that will send the bird state location temperature and pressure and magnetic field to a global database. i assess and if there are some ten activates the tags sixteen times a day the tags then sent to store data up to space before they're shared with the station on earth where they evaluated by scientists. the ones interior to most of the most intelligent senses combining the senses into a global system gives us important information about life and sex and he will be able to understand animal sex it sensibly and really observe life on earth. the migration of animals is a global phenomenon provide scientists for the system of living senses goats for

example can anticipate volcanic eruptions they can pass on this information through that tag tracking the migration route to flying foxes could reveal the spread of ebola around a thousand animals will initially be fitted with tags isolated state scientists hope to scan all corners of the through hundreds of thousands of tagged animals that are constantly being watched from space. they're watching from berlin can't i will be back with more news at the top of the hour until then you can stay up to date on the w. dr.
