8:01 am
i'm serious almost kind of good to have you with us italy is stepping up pressure on its european partners to take more migrants rescued at sea italy's defense minister elizabeth are trying to announce that she'll ask fellow e.u. defense ministers to rotate the ports of migrants disembark at calling on other countries to share the load the e.u. says joint naval mission in the mediterranean operation sophia was created to target people smuggling but it's rescued thousands of people since its launch in two thousand and fifteen and under current rules operation sophia brings all of those rescued to italy rome says that practice is no longer acceptable and want to change or else it could stop accepting migrants. well european defense ministers are meeting in vienna today for the second day of talks and after trying
8:02 am
to as announcement operation sophia is likely to be the number one item on the agenda we have our correspondent barbara basell there covering the talks for us in vienna barbara good morning to you operations of fear was supposed to help stop people smuggling and prevent further deaths at sea why is it lee pushing to have this changed. it's really just want to except to the both of the other european countries anymore who are involved in the mission sophia it's simply one's to keep his harvest totally closed not only for n.-g. o. vessels we have already seen that all commercial vessels who are not allowed to disembark. harbors anymore ports anymore if they have migrants and ports but it also wants to close its harbor now for the other european countries for their military vessels and that is the next step in the escalating war between italy and the other european countries the point is and what it should be wants is for other countries france for instance or spain who are me if much farther away from the
8:03 am
libyan coast where the migrants are rescued to open the harbor and to sort of take turns full for whoever is going to except those migrants and so far nobody has volunteered. italy here is pushing the ball back to other e.u. countries how are they likely to respond to this request. a solution has been desperately sought for a weeks now a behind the scenes in brussels the ambassadors of the e.u. and the defense specialists have been sitting down and saying what can we do however other countries say that italy is being totally obstructive and really wants to completely end these sophia mission it's of these goal is and that's what the other countries say to completely push on the responsibility for a sea rescue on to libya libya is already getting help from the e.u. to sort of build up its capacities but we know what happens and that is what italy
8:04 am
really propagates openly the libyan coast guards are supposed to take in vessels that are trying to get away from the coast take people back to libya and we all know what the fate is that awaits them there because there are all these reports about torture and rape and completely inhumane treatment in libyan camps so that is what's behind this battle that is being fought here today in vienna over the bottom line here is that italy's new government says there is a need to distribute migrants picked up at sea fairly within the e.u. are they getting anywhere. they are getting anywhere if you look at the past still weeks and even few months because the last chips that have been sort of kept from this the market in italy other countries have agreed to take in migrants now they say of course it's in the in comparison to its size doesn't even take in that many people anymore also the figures have really gone down and the arrivals have slowed
8:05 am
to a trickle that is the other aspect so many countries and also italy sort of now spread this two block to block the european budget people and countries feel blackmailed so the mood is bad and solutions are not easily to be had the whole mission is at stake it might not be for long to any more detail because barbara vessel in vienna where defense meters ministers rather meeting today thank you so much barbara. now some other stories making headlines around the world u.s. president donald trump has defended his handling of the hurricane maria aftermath in puerto rico he faced criticism after the island's official death toll from the two thousand seven hundred storm was raised from sixty four to nearly three thousand some authorities on the u.s. territory of call the federal government's response disastrously inadequate. and a large fire has engulfed a warehouse in melbourne australia the blaze broke out around five am local time
8:06 am
authorities have warned residents to seek shelter over concerns of toxic smoke several nearby schools have been forced to close the fire authority says more than one hundred firefighters are at the scene. to uganda now where pop star turned lawmaker bobby wine is due to appear in court again today a magistrate will decide if treason charges should go ahead against the high profile challenger to the country's long time president yoweri museveni bobby wine was released on bail on monday after two weeks in detention he says he was subjected to severe torture while behind bars and the case has touched a nerve in the country. julie. reports from kampala on how many ugandans are venting their friends' frustrations and what they think of the man who is taking on uganda the political elite. protest in uganda is copping to.
8:07 am
the focus of the be monstrous in this month known as bill b. one protesters demanded his release after hearing about these alleged torture while under our roof. interview will be wind told d. w. about his role in uganda supporting tax nobody should look at me as a messiah nobody should look at me as a solution i'm just part of the puzzle and you out there that i was that is watching me he also part of that puzzle i cannot do it unless if we choose to do it together and yes that is this solution because if we are to attain. what we want as a country they need to get that. a large majority of ugandans population is under twenty four and many see the thought of six year old hopes to as their voice so when i look at bobby when he's presenting me a voice of me as a youth because me to only use because what do you think is real and it is there
8:08 am
and you've seen well behind us come from politically and socially he speaks a lot of things and but naturally speaking i wouldn't. say that he inspires me like. i'm going to the street son doing whatever he has been doing because there are other ways of handling things yeah but very present my voice really represents my voice because he talks about the things that affect youth. and he's a youth he talks about unemployment education or option despite the supports that but the one enjoys especially among young people mainly in the cup it'll campolo present during the seventy's government seems to have a different perspective of their margin politician who is also battling treason charges in court does the bitter who love the moment and i don't think it is largely that that he's either viewed as the president to be or of course there's
8:09 am
been a lot of framing around events are on him. by his p.r. group and he's the handlers where he's been portrayed largely as a victim but this is just a fleeting moment and it will probably pass. but the wine was voted to parliament last year in a by election where he defeated four challengers including one backed by president morsi of in less than two years in office the singer has been strongly critical of government. anyone who is a few of us politicians needs to sit back and evaluate that quote is will be weighing rip present when he talks about people power you know what is he trying to say is in there any. wait in the what that he's expressing
8:10 am
today right and shouldn't the president didn't heed. the rig a star has enjoyed more than fifteen years of a successful music. of though he sees making it in entertainment has been an obvious try to go by challenging a government that has been in power for forty two yards could prove to be he's biggest struggle yet. i. that report from a journalist julius mcgowan but he joins us from the ugandan capital kampala for more on the story hi julie good to see you now bobby wine is back in court today a magistrate is going to decide of treason charges should go ahead what can we expect indeed will be on his expected bucking horse today but i understand he still let me chip in the horse be joining in kampala which is very many kilometers away from the causeway expected so you might know to get caught but other suspects
8:11 am
including another member of parliament have already right at the court but the wind is not yet there is also very important to note is that it's. the way in and it's up to three other suspects only appeared before the in my district court that yes my district court according to the constitutional interpretation has no jurisdiction to try treason charge to stop it you know since it's and the case is supposed to be committed to a higher court so let's get to typing and we have the chips to see bobby why not court to get bob's his representatives award for your case julie said he's admitted in the hospital and his lawyers actually said that he may have to go abroad for urgent medical care is he in good health. but we wanted look at the art or to be in good health right from when he had the exploits last time when the military presented him in the general court martial and we have the edge in the court in this legal court and then brought to the hospital the man could not walk by himself
8:12 am
you would see him and in pain so i cannot say he's in a good health much as we have not yet seen on the seizure medical reports and he did a lot of sit if you cannot get enough medical attention here there's a chance that he will be flown out of the country to seek further medical attention and julius we should say the body says that he was beaten in detention what do authorities say to that yes the allegations of being the other two was beaten especially by his lawyers there so i mean the answer of the people that have been directed with him and also when you look at this month struggling to walk he couldn't walk by himself you will see a man and a yeah so this could boss just fly allegations of church up but the military say it did case has not been there we have. it has been portrayed we've seen this speaker of parliament has petitioned the president to explain that to the alleged church i guess going bustle by them into but this the president is not suitable to show their responded so we are yet to see what is yet to unfold all right
8:13 am

the bottom. have long been part of our labor force supporting development and improving society in our society is undergoing very rapid change it's becoming more inclusive this old caste based way of thinking will be eradicated very soon. own so often mistake they fear the longstanding discrimination they face won't change any time soon yet many nepalese especially the younger generation dream of a country without a caste system the village of culture based where the project was launched shows what this future might look like the local women a lot of them have joined forces their farming operation is thriving and every day traders come by to pick a fruit and vegetables. the project originally aimed to prepare local women for the impact of climate change but the women soon took charge themselves ignoring caste distinctions and the process. it's a battle for dignity and respect and
8:17 am
a possible future without a caste system. now he failed to motivate his players and use the wrong tactics on the pitch those are the admissions and concessions being offered by the coach of germany's national football team on wednesday you can live spoke publicly for the first time since germany's dismal performance at the world cup in russia there were calls for him to be to resign or to be fired right after the tournament but the german football association had already extended contract just before the world cup began. joachim lives long awaited analysis the germany coach took responsibility for tactical mistakes saying his team lacked balance between the defense and the attack as well as dedication and passion. this one minute i'm not close to one thing just miscalculation and my biggest mistake was that i believed i could at least make it
8:18 am
past the group stage by playing a grand dominant position based football just a fifty four one day. according to live this high risk approach bordered on arrogance what's more the coach was unable to establish small working groups of players within the squad during the tournament in russia live said the air to one photo affair involving measured is ill and ilk a good one wasn't taken seriously enough since isil quit the team he has not spoken with the coach live rejects accusations made by israel and that's i can get you spend time with the de if he was there ever even a hint of racist remarks and saw a bunch of as for personnel changes there will now be only two assistant coaches former assistant thomas schneider is to head the scouting department the number of support staff will also be reduced sammy could derail will be missing from the squad for the upcoming international games but newcomers however it's nico schultz
8:19 am
until ok arrow will be there and young star leroy sunday who live left out at the world cup. team manager other beer addressed accusations the team has lost contact with its fan base. this is even been totally shots why we will of course continue to work on being closer to our fans and move down to earth with them and the future . in particular opening the doors and gates more often to all so that especially children and young people can see their stalls up close and the. next week's international match against world champions france. we'll show to what extent you walk him live and his team have deals with the world cup debacle. tennis now and on day three of the u.s. open in new york there was an upset in the men's matches former world number one andy murray has crashed out losing in four sets to spain's fan on the vent that's
8:20 am
go in the second round murray predicted that he would struggle to challenge for the title as he's still working his way back to top form after undergoing hip surgery now event that's well meanwhile moves on to the third round where he will face third seed juan martin del potro who made comfortable progress with a straight sets victory over american dennis could last meanwhile in the women's category serena williams and sister venus won their respective matches to set up a family affair in the third round at surf thirtieth career meeting and serena last won the us open in two thousand and fourteen. right now are cut off and on sports a time to take a look at business and all the difficulties to fill up christophe all the vacancies on the german labor market that's right sumi germany's labor ministry is set to release its monthly employment figures later today it is expected to show a slight uptick in joblessness as students and school leavers register as an employed over the summer but that will do little to address the country's demographic crisis with fewer young germans and during the job market as many older
8:21 am
germans and to retirement it's an especially stark contrast in nursing homes where there aren't enough young people choosing to work as caregivers raising wages to make the job more attractive would be one option but hospital and nursing homes say there is a cheaper way. germany needs nursing staff and not enough germans are going into caregiving they see the work is too hard and poorly paid that's why berlin's biggest hospital has been hiring albanians and it's about to recruit workers from mexico to it's symptomatic of the personnel shortages in germany not only in the health professions. the number of vacant positions has been rising steadily in recent years in july one point two million openings couldn't be filled so in future who will deliver all those goods that germans order on the internet who will build and maintain houses who will work on factory floors sixty percent of companies say
8:22 am
they view labor shortage as the biggest risk for their operations staff deficits cost the german economy an estimated thirty billion euros a year that's why calls are growing louder to ease immigration and employment restrictions for people from countries outside the e.u. such as albania with or without academic qualifications. now for some more analysis let's bring in our lex out of borstar he's an economist at the german economic institute a research institution promoting liberal economic policies. alex one point two million positions open on the drug market why is it so hard to fill them. you know it's especially because we have ferry special needs and it comes through the qualifications that people must have so right now we have as you said one point two million unfilled vacancies and we have two point five million unemployed but these unemployed do not have the specific skills needed fall that vacancies at least not
8:23 am
enough and according to our booming economy we have on the one hand a large demand for skilled labor and on the other hand we have a shrinking supply due to our demographic situation while they have care sector as particularly understaffed as we've seen in that report now some argue that higher wages would help once people get the appropriate appropriate training and their company leaders who agree that higher wages would be a factor here the year agree as well so in general if you have too few people selecting best selves in the occupation then you should do anything you can to make this occupation more attractive wages are one one aspect and that another thing is the working conditions and for sure in the care sector we have a high workload and you know you have to address this but i think politics already acknowledge that and are doing something to change that and what way how is our
8:24 am
politicians knowledge on that issue. so for one they are they are now making the vocational education that leads to that occupation more attractive in the in the past it was quite expensive and took took very long and in the same time you could study and learn my money so it's easy for young people to select something else because they can choose they are few we need them and every occupation has to be attractive to have people selecting themselves and and it's not only the caste sector of the care sector is very much affected but it's also traditional crafts like plumbers and construction we have. like and technicians like electricians or anyone who is a skilled worker with metal all synthetics it's not only i.t. and engineering anymore it's very very much about the non academic skilled workers which we desperately need and this is going to become very much more now if
8:25 am
employers are turning to these skilled workers that come in from foreign countries do you see the risk that we've been poaching the best and the brightest from countries that need them themselves you know especially for the our european partners countries we should not make this a brain drain because that wouldn't be supportive for the e.u. itself so we have to focus on non european states with a good demographic situation and this is what is actually done now in germany because legislature lation is changing towards them and i can just encourage everyone from abroad to do some steps skilled to have a look at make it in germany dot com because there you'll find everything you need to come here and work for alexander we have to leave it there the german economic answer thank you so much. the u.s. government maintains it's hoping to find common ground on trade with canada after
8:26 am
reaching a preliminary agreement with mexico on monday canadian and u.s. negotiators have been sitting down for talks which according to u.s. president don't trump are going quite well he has set a deadline of friday for the three nation pact. the talks to overhaul the free trade agreement have entered a crucial phase and canadian prime minister justin trudeau beliefs meeting the friday deadline is still possible but he's not making any promises we recognize that there is a possibility of getting there by friday but it is only a possibility because it will hinge on whether or not there is ultimately a good deal for killing a good deal for canadians i said from the very beginning no live to deal is better than a bad nurse to deal and we are going to remain firm on that principle because canadians expect us to stand up for them and that's exactly what this government's going to do earlier canada's chief negotiator said she was encouraged by the talks and
8:27 am
progress made so far. there are four things that you get what you accomplish together with the united states. significant i. think for what it is. that it is nearly important step for us and it has set the stage for very intensive conversations and negotiations that work with the u.s. canada and mexico have been trying to hammer out a deal for over a year if they reach a consensus by friday that could pave the way for a mexican president and rekey pena nieto to sign it before he leaves office at the end of november. this is the dollar news from bernanke more coming at the top of the hour thanks.
