sixty eight. stores are the first to go. this is deja vu news live from berlin italy's populist government issues a new demand over migrants rome says the e.u. must change the rules on sea rescues or europe's mediterranean vision is at risk of collapse. also coming out of the east german city of chemist's braces for more demonstrations as far right nationalist to gear up for another protest. bobby wine
9:01 am
the ugandan pop musician turned opposition politician says he was tortured in prison we have a closer look at the man and his fight to take on the country's political elite. i'm sumi so much 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 elisabetta tried to announce that she will ask fellow e.u. defense ministers to rotate the ports that migrants disembarked at calling on other countries to share the load that used joint naval mission in the mediterranean operations of fionn was created to target people smuggling but as rescue thousands of people since its launch in two thousand and fifteen under the current rules operation sophia brings all of those rescued to italy and rome says that practice is no longer acceptable and wants a change or else it could see. excepting migrants. for european defense ministers
9:02 am
are meeting in vienna today for the second day of talks and after trying to announcement operation sophia is likely to be the number one item on the agenda let's go right to our correspondent barbara vai so she is covering the talks for us in vienna today hi barbara so operation sophia was supposed to prevent people smuggling and further gas at sea why is it only pushing to have this changed. italy has such an ultimatum to the european union that runs in fact out tomorrow so defense ministers are under quite some pressure to come up with a solution however so far things seem to be quite intractable it's really doesn't want to accept the vessel itself its european neighbors which are engaged in emissions of fear anymore in their own harbors they say somebody else should take up france for instance or spain or whoever malta and sort of
9:03 am
relieve italy from the burden to have having to take in all those migrants not the point is that the figures have as we all know no gone down dressed to kill this year so this is a political issue it is not really any more about thousands and thousands of people arriving in italian ports but it is it an issue that the interior minister. is pushing day and night he wants to completely close off its leaves from the italy from the arrival of all any migrants and that includes missions afia so it's a important political symbol for italy how are other e.u. countries likely to respond to at least request. the problem is that so far they have not found any volunteers. neither the french government nor the spanish has said ok wheels sort of take over from italy because the rule so far of course have been and that's the. rules of international law that the harbors that
9:04 am
are closed and that is in case it should leave mostly sicily in this case through the libyan coast are supposed to take in those vessels that was rescued people on board however italy now really wants to use force there is blackmail in the room italy is threatening to not to agree to the next e.u. budget to not pay its fees to the european union and so on and so forth which is for the poisoning the atmosphere at the moment there seems to be not really a way out however if they don't find a solution missions of the mall this is at its end bar you know the bottom line here is that the italian government is saying it is important to distribute migrants picked up at sea within the e.u. are they getting anywhere with that point. they have been getting in. somewhere by using more or less blood pressure during the last weeks and months because if you look at the last migrant boats that have been coming in they've been waiting
9:05 am
and waiting and ports for days and days and then finally the deal where distributed among other e.u. member states even albania has in the last round taking in a couple of people so yes they are getting somewhere. the the are the way they are dealing with the european partners really is causing a lot of bad blood and so it seems that the fia might actually be sort of running to run to ground and the whole thing be pushed on to the libyan coast guard in libya getting the sole responsibility to save people who are at sea and that would constitute a breach of international law as we know the fate of migrants being pushed back to libya so the e.u. really is in a bind here in italy is not moving at all all right barbara vessel reporting for us from vienna thank you barbara.
9:06 am
now here in germany right wing groups are again expected to take to the streets of the city of candidates today some twenty people were injured earlier in the week after around seven thousand protesters many of them far right nationalists clashed with left wing demonstrators after a man was stabbed to death. am firelands hate speech and illegal gestures the scenes have touched off a domestic and international debate about xenophobia in germany. far right groups took to the streets of came that's earlier this week and system the city belongs to them not foreigners. video from sunday shows a part of vigilante attacks in the eastern german city a mob targeting people believed to be non german and. i don't know what. the fatal stabbing of a german man at the weekend was the trigger for the anti immigrant protests police
9:07 am
have arrested two men one from iraq another from syria over the killing. on wednesday the arrest warrant for one of the men was leaked and published on a number of right wing web sites germany's interior minister condemned the leak. this. cannot be that highly sensitive personal information and legal procedures are suddenly publicized in this way that's legal the. justice authorities are also now investigating a number of far right protesters forgiving the hitler salute which is a criminal offense in germany. the onerous income that's prompted international concern the united nations human rights commissioner called on german leaders to speak out against senate phobia forgive me for being tough on that. i think it's fundamentally important public official story that europe denounce all
9:08 am
of us. we find ourselves in the real one of the few public voices that are doing. we don't think it's a month. on the state of saxony remain on edge with further protests organized by right wing groups planned for later today. and we have our political correspondent nina hasa with us in studio to tell us more about the story hi nina we just heard there's another far right demonstration planned for today we're likely to see a counter demonstration as well it seems like things really are not calming down and chemists in the far right pro kemet script they have called for they've called a demonstration where they say they're expecting some five hundred participants but of course if the events from earlier this week are anything to go by those numbers could of course be a lot higher and then also those events have mobilized the other side that will be a pro-democracy rock concert next week in kenya it's. of organized by the other
9:09 am
side and of course today that will be counted demonstrators on the ground we can only hope that the authorities are better prepared than they were earlier this week where we saw both sides clash because there was simply not enough police on the ground and of course this event this demonstration by the far right group has been organized for a long time they want it to come that to greet the state primary who's currently on a tour he used holding town hall meetings where he says he wants to talk to the people to really understand their concerns he is a member of the conservative party and they lost tremendously in last general elections and so he will. i'll be traveling to chemists he will be in a football stadium probably some fifteen thousand people but of course those talks today will be dominated by this week's events well there's been a lot of criticism of authorities and one concern is about this leaked justice document that we heard about in our report how big is the concern that this arrest warrant was leaked because of the presence of far right sympathizers within the
9:10 am
police and within the justice system in saxony yes those are legitimate concerns it is something germany has very strict privacy guidelines when it comes to judicial proceedings we don't publish stuff suspects full names for example and so this is a highly unusual case which is why there is a lot of criticism there is also a member of the saxony government who has given two interviews alleging himself that we have to look into the roles in this case of the police or the authorities and that is a social democrat politician who has said that we have a bigger problem to deal with here and of course it's also not the first time that the role of the german authorities in right wing extremist incidents is a bit of a suspicious one let's not forget about the biggest trial against a new nazi group of the and this you that came to an end not so long ago where there are still a lot of open questions about the role of german authorities what do you think the
9:11 am
political consequences of all of this have been i think this will not go away we are looking at state elections next year in east in german states like saxony where the fog right a of the party according to the latest polls are ready to second place so a quarter of the population there say they want a tougher stance on migration all right our political correspondent nina hasa thank you so much for bringing us your analysis morning. now to some other stories making headlines around the world u.s. president donald trump has defended his handling of the hurricane reaffirmation of puerto rico he faced criticism. after the island's official death toll from the two thousand and seventeen storm was raised from sixty four to nearly three thousand some authorities on the u.s. territory of called the federal government's response disastrously inadequate. a large fire has engulfed a warehouse in melbourne australia the blaze broke out around five am local time
9:12 am

9:13 am
the focus of the be more strategic this month known as bobby rush i just as demanded his release after hearing about cecily torture under our wrist. in an interview will be wind told d. w. about his role in uganda's politics nobody should look at me as a messiah nobody should look at me as a solution i'm just part of the puzzle i knew that i was that is watching me he also part of that puzzle i cannot do it unless if we choose to do it to get that and yes that is this solution because if we are to attain. what we want as a country they need to get. a large majority of ugandans population is under twenty four and many see that such a six year old hopes to cause their voice. will be when he's presenting me is a voice of me as
9:14 am
a youth because me to only use because what do you think is real and it is this you've seen will come from when it's clearly 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 streets doing whatever he has been doing because the other ways of handling things you know but very present my voice really represents my voice because he talks about the things that affect youth. and he's a us he talks about unemployment education or option despite this supports a but b. one enjoys especially among young people mainly because beetle composite present during the seventy's government seems to have a different perspective of the margin politician was also bottling treason charges in court does the. moment and i don't think it is largely that
9:15 am
that he's even viewed as the president to be or of course there's been a lot over for him in our own defense our own him. by his p.r. group and on his. where he's been portrayed largely as a victim but this is just a fleeting moment it will probably pass. but the wind was voted to parliament last year in a by election where he defeated for challengers including one backed by president must've in. less than two years in office this has been strongly critical of government. anyone who is a serious put it needs to sit back and evaluate that quote is what duwayne reprise into when he talks about people power you know what is he trying to say is in there any weight in the words that he's expressing to
9:16 am
us today right and shouldn't the president to keep. the rig a star has enjoyed more than fifteen years of a successful music audio post or he sees making it in entertainment has been an uphill struggle but challenging a government that has been in power for forty two years could prove to be his biggest struggle yet. that report from journalist julius he joins us from the ugandan capital kampala for more on the story hi julie is 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 you did but i understand he's still up nature in the hospital in kampala which is very many kilometers away from the causeway to expected so you might motor vehicle it but other suspects including
9:17 am
another member of parliament have already are right at the court but the wind is not yet there is also very important to note is that it's the book you are in and it's up to three other suspects only appear before the magistrates court the chief magistrate scored according to the course to choose should an interpretation has no jurisdiction to try treason charges capital since it's and the case is supposed to be committed to a higher court so let's go to typing and we have the chips to see it will be one at court to get bob says we presented his own move forward with the case the jury 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 he wanted look in the art or to be in good health right from when he had the export of time with the military presented in the general court martial and when we have yet in the court in this legal court and then brought to the holes he took the money could not
9:18 am
walk by himself you would see him on in pain so i cannot say he's in a good health much as we have not yet seen on the sea shore medical reports and he did a lot of sit if you cannot get enough medical attention there's a chance that she will be flown out of the country to six other 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 editor was beaten especially by his lawyers there so i mean the answer other people that have been interrupted with him and also when you look at this month's truck getting to wark he couldn't walk by himself you would see a man and a yeah so this could boss just fly allegations of church up but the military say it did case was not being 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 question
9:19 am
that journalists will come by for us in kampala thank you very much. and we have a one item from the world of tennis for you 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 fair number of and that's go in the second round now murray predicted that he would struggle to challenge for the title as he still working his way back the top four back to top form rather after undergoing hip surgery for the asco 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 tennis could love and meanwhile in the women's category serino williams and sister venus won their respective matches to set up a family affair in the third round it's their thirtieth career meeting now so we know at last when the u.s. open in two thousand and fourteen that's caught up on the sports news now let's take a look at business and that christophe is here with us and look at the difficulties
9:20 am
to fill all the vacancies kristoff in the german labor market and there are quite a few sumi germany's labor the labor ministry is set to release its monthly employment figures later day today it's expected to show a slight uptick in joblessness as students and school leavers register as unemployed over the summer but that will do little to address the country's demographic crisis with fewer young germans entering the job market as many older germans and virt retirement it's a specially stark contrast in the health care sector 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 hospitals 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
9:21 am
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 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 boston he's an economist at the german economic institute a research institution promoting liberal economic policies from attorney w alex a one point two million positions open on the job market why is it so hard to fill
9:22 am
them. you know it's especially because we have very 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 wakin cease and we have two point five million unemployed but these unemployed do not have the specific skills needed fall that vacancies at least not 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
9:23 am
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 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 politicians knowledge on that issue. so for one they are they are now making the book ational 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 in and it's not only the caste sect
9:24 am
of the care sector is very much affected but it's also traditional crafts like plumbers and construction we have. like in technicians like electricians or anyone 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 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 more european 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 european states with a good demographic situation and this is what is actually done in germany because legislature is changing towards them and i can just encourage everyone from abroad
9:25 am
to do some steps skilled to have a look at make it in germany dot com because there you find everything you need to come here and work for us alexander we have to leave it there of the german economic institute thank you so much. the u.s. government says it is hoping to find common ground on trade with canada after reaching a preliminary agreement with mexico on monday canadian prime minister justin trudeau expressed optimism that an agreement could be reached saying that there is a possibility of getting a good deal for his country u.s. president donald trump was also positive saying the ongoing talks were quote probably on track to reach a deal by friday that's the deadline he said for the three nations to agree to a pact to replace the north american free trade agreement so far known as nafta. japanese and exotic dry and panasonic plans to move its european headquarters to amsterdam from london in october to avoid any tax issues linked to bracks it's the
