but the situation remains tense with groups from both the right and left preparing to take to the streets again to morrow. the european union is sent to the practice of putting the clamps for them back in summer and winter the e.u. says it's responding to the will of the people look at the pros and cons of scrapping daylight savings time. plus the australian filmmaker found guilty of spying in cambodia. the coming months now. to talk. james parkinson is sentenced to six years in prison and prosecutors allege she has close links to cambodia's opposition but the case is being slammed as a ludicrous show regime to find human rights watch dogs. and we need to an indian woman we can surf who's pinning her hopes on an ambitious new national health plan that said to be rolled out in india critics fear the prime minister's plan has a fatal flaw.

i. know i'm terry martin thanks for joining us aretha franklin is being laid to rest in detroit today as befits the queen of soul the queen of soul the singer will be given a very musical sendoff the invitation only event is set to last a number of hours and the lineup will also include figures from the civil rights movement and former u.s. president bill clinton if you know caps on what we can and that included tribute concerts and public viewings of franklin lying in state. and karen helm step from our culture desk is here to talk about this historic occasion so karen it's going to be a what would you say it's a long day i guess in detroit what will stephanie we expect terry the funeral is set to go for about five and a half six hours so we've really got

a marathon event i had of us and it has just started we can perhaps already go to some pictures and see if we can figure out where we are in the proceedings that the funeral is happening at the greater grace temple in her hometown of detroit and it is invite only as you mentioned starting out with a processional and some prayers some of which will be led by the bishop charles ellis the third who presides there there will be a performance five the aretha franklin orchestra i think we can see them they are. also be a lot of speeches and readings by leaders from the church number of detroit politicians members of her family and representatives of the music industry of course and among the bigger names expected to offer some words of condolence today will be former vice president bill clinton the reverend jesse jackson and smokey robinson the former front man of the miracles and then of course come the musical tributes that's when things really start to get rolling faith hill and ariana grande they should be in the earlier part of the day some gospel greats will definitely make an

appearance certainly seems there are a clark sisters. and later on there will be quite a build up with performances by none other than jennifer hudson shakur khan jennifer holiday and stevie wonder's so it's still looking very staid in there i think things will definitely be picking up. all of ours given the names you just mentioned that's quite a lineup also last night already the queen of soul was celebrated with a special tribute concert what can you tell us about that ok well that was quite spectacular because more than fifty of her colleagues and fellow artists took the stage to give their very best in a tribute in detroit even though the consensus was definitely that nobody can same like a leaf let's have a look at this. i think this thing like overeager brightman. thing that nobody.

could write a. song. singer and actress rab jennifer lou is some out of it was really the culmination of the events that were a chance for the people of detroit so the city where everything. was raised and remained for most of her life to bid their beloved queen of soul farewell before that there were those three days the public viewing saw her open casket and about six thousand people were lucky enough to get tickets for last night's concert which was put on by her family on which was for free and spanned her incredible range of musical talents a gospel r. and b. jazz and blues music all of which she of course influenced greatly so let's have a quick look close and look at her legacy.

the title of her nine hundred sixty seven hit a composition by otis redding crowned her legacy from the moment the song hit the airwaves respect. everything franklin's imprint on soul music was enormous her commanding vocals powered the soundtrack of both the civil rights and women's liberation movements half a century ago. the daughter of a mississippi preacher and a mother who sang and played piano a research franklin grew up in detroit singing at her father's church services at an early age she was strongly influenced by the gospel sound. she signed her first recording contract in one nine hundred sixty and enjoyed limited success her breakthrough came when she switched labels several years later she soon earned the title queen of soul.

she performed for president elect bill clinton in one thousand nine hundred three and sixteen years later at the inauguration of president barack obama. among her many accolades she was inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame the first woman to receive the honor that was in one thousand nine hundred seven she received the presidential medal of freedom in two thousand and five and won a total of eighteen grammys the music industry's highest award. last year she announced she would reduce her appearances on stage her declining health forced her to cancel a planned concert earlier this year. with a career spanning over sixty years aretha franklin made an indelible mark on american music and influenced generations of singers. amazing career will keep tabs on those funeral proceedings michel terry one

observer pointed out that in the african-american christian church they don't even actually refer to it as a funeral they call it rather a home going home going service because of course she's going home to god so it's really meant to be a celebration of her life a celebration of aretha as the singer but also as an incredible women's rights advocate as a civil rights supporter and activist so there's going to be a lot of tears but there's the idea is also to to have a lot of joy and i think it'll be a pretty uplifting event with all the music must be said she was a very deeply spiritual person to her faith was very very important important to her everything frank in the great inspiration to us all thank you so much karen hill stuff from our culture desk pleasure terry though here in germany about a thousand far right protesters have staged another demonstration in the eastern city of camden it's police say the rally was tense but not threatening or marked by violence like a protest earlier this week at

a nearby venue politicians but with local residents with some of them saying officials are out of touch. get lost they chant. demonstrators are out in force again in chemnitz they're protesting against the town hall meeting with saxony state premier but some in this east german city want to engage with him. it's mostly in foreign dockyard small i want to talk to him about my feeling that many politicians don't know anything about their citizens anymore and don't know what's going on when i saw a report that he was shocked by what's happening here it's about how can that be up if he is our state premier so management is the president for the month and. the fatal stabbing of a german citizen over the weekend sparked violent anti immigration protests and what appeared to be vigilante attacks on people believed to be foreigners the authorities are also investigating several protesters for making the hitler salute

. then an arrest warrant was late apparently by a law enforcement officer the man has since been suspended from judy a federal state in crisis the leader in saxony pleading to his citizens to be courageous. and they should learn what countries are we want to live in. the rule of law and democracy is still the pillars of our peaceful life together. i'm standing up for that i'm fighting for that and i'm asking you all to join me. everybody is needed now to take responsibility and to get involved in this but i'm so mission for now ken it's and the state of saxony remain on edge for the protests organized by right wing groups a planned for later in the week. so the situation in. what about the bigger picture here in germany to talk about that i'm

joined from our parliamentary studios by our chief political editor michela. because we just saw what was happening there with the right wing scene in kemet but there are a lot of citizens in germany who say they don't identify as far right but they are concerned about migrant crime do they have a point well that's exactly the fault line that that saxony also as a state here and really has been battling for many years now also predating the twenty fifteen influx of so many migrants is whether this is concerned citizens who feel disenfranchised we heard this woman speaking there just now or whether these already signs of a rightwing scene what we do know is that the statistics so actually an overall slight decline in crime in germany and we know that migrants who come here are not recorded simply don't show that they are statistically more prone to become

criminals and more violent than ordinary citizens or germans so really the sin numbers don't really back up what clearly is been being seen as a perception and what is being fostered as a public's perception by the far right party which actually has an online database which is basically a germany map covered with knives and sewing every single knife attack and only now we know that crime is down in germany really hitting hitting new lows also among migrants so if the statistics don't back up people's perception of crime what in your view is the root cause of the anti migrant sentiment in germany. well it certainly is much older than what became known as the migration crisis here clearly the stance of the german chancellor the open arms policy this wow moment where germany we so did willingness to take in last longbows of migrants and refugees

that's a moment that pos that that led to a kind of a more sober look at what it actually means to integrate people but we're talking about saxony when we're talking about eastern states and they have many areas where there are very few foreigners and one study after the other says that the less contact people actually have to people of different cultural backgrounds the more afraid they are and this seems to be here blended in with resentment and the frustration with politics over all so it's a very explosive cocktail variety which is also now being used by right wing seen with rifle supporters actually traveling to chemists this is not all just people who live and work in chemists and you mentioned general markers medicals open arms or some say open door migration policy a very famous quote from twenty fifteen for we talk any further i'd like to play a clip from exactly three years ago today. if you are big i say quite simply

germany is a strong country and our approach has to be that we've achieved so much and we can do this. if you use this off the shelf and us. we can do this and whenever we encounter obstacles they will be overcome they will be dealt with and the government will do everything in its power along with the local and regional governments to do precisely that. chancellor merkel there three years ago with her iconic phrase now we can do this via shock and. what about what chancellor merkel was saying three years ago we've heard a lot of this quote so often since then has chemists proven her wrong. it's not that simple the rightwing sentiment in saxony and in several german states predates what she said in twenty fifteen pre-dates people coming into the country in the numbers so simply there's no that's not where the history of this resentment

started at the same time when she said this often that she was herself surprised by this sentence that it would become such an iconic phrase almost and there's still different interpretations we can make it also carry politically for power base because i thank you so much because of course now there are cheap political editor well as micaela mentioned germany has seen a shift in tone around the topic of refugees you met a syrian refugee mohamad arrived in the german capital three years ago he says although he's been able to learn german quickly life remains a challenge and he struggles with urine here ocracy but he says he's still optimistic about integrating into german society one day today this is a safe and comfortable place for refugees to be the clothing store at mallaby hill or mo a beat helps run smoothly almost like a regular shop three years ago things were very different in twenty fifteen way

today the citizens initiative mallaby tilt operates there was scenes of chaos with some fifty five thousand refugees arriving in berlin in a single year the authorities were overwhelmed thousands waited to the arrival sent on to catastrophic conditions just to register amid the chaos the refugees relied on volunteers to support people like diana henriques. as for mentions of thousands of people who are stuck here in thirty five plus to gray hate it was a situation where some had shrapnel in their eye were about to give birth and were impacting the lying here on the side. more accommodation and a new refugee agency steps taken to prevent the chaotic scenes from happening again refugees are now distributed more efficiently upon arrival but there are still challenges. this is. the structures aren't sufficient to provide

a path for people to integrate into this is sizing if you demand that people integrate we must supply them the opportunity to integrate it's not a one way street it's the government's responsibility but civil society and refugees have responsibility too so that's not the official mohammad is a refugee from syria who also arrived in berlin three years ago in spite of having learned german quickly and having a permanent home bureaucracy still makes life difficult. i'm an electrician by trade i trained in syria and work doesn't electrician there as well as in lebanon and turkey but in germany it's difficult you can't just work it was my favorite job but unfortunately i can't do it any more. berlin twenty fifteen refugees were welcomed with open arms people spoke about the german ville commons call to a welcome culture but according to henniker's there's not much left of that now and

the mood surrounding refugees has changed the man. there's been a change in the language used by the media and many politicians have changed the course and that's made the situation worse it's led to a more racist time in everyday life and us is most i took it out mohamed has also noticed a change in attitude recently but despite the change in mood he remains optimistic he'll integrate into german society as a. difficult it's easy if you can speak german and understand the germans it's no problem. understanding of complex societies are never easy but anyway it seems that chinese investors are no longer putting their faith understanding the world of business by listening to technical exactly they look somewhere else they turn to fortune tellers terry and that's us

tension is growing in the ongoing trade conflict between washington and beijing the us press of donald trump says that he plans to add to terry's on chinese goods with two hundred billion dollars that means that fifty percent of the trade in goods with china would be hit by punitive tariffs economists are concerned about what that could mean for the global economy and uncertainty is also rising in china lucky charms and fortune tellers have a long tradition in china and since donald trump began slapping tariffs on goods from the country things should be masters have seen business. g.n. china owns a shop selling skincare products like many others she's concerned about the future . to all the hydro call home my shop is in hong kong many of my clients though come from the mainland if the economy worsens due to the trade conflict i'm afraid i'll lose customers get on something so i'm consulting mass to check out to find out

whether now is the time to move my business over there are all a lot of things i'd hardly hold algonquin they would. the aim of things surely is to create harmony and that's more challenging since donald trump arrived on the scene. he is not organized he disturbs the general order of things. it affects the whole world he's a very disruptive person. in china fortunetelling is officially nothing but superstition members of the communist party opera hit it from visiting such shops but they remain very popular a session costs around sixty euros they these things we must it does offer one prediction free of charge the trade conflict he says well and peacefully.

well unlike a conflict between the british and french fishermen because gallops a gourmet delicacy enjoyed around europe but there is nothing delicate about the scallop war between british and french fishermen taking place on the high seas this week this past tuesday british and french vessels rammed into each other over the edible mollusk now government ministers are stepping in and calling for an end to the fight french and british ministers made a plea for calm on friday as fishing industry officials prepare to meet next week they'll attempt to strike a new deal between the two countries on dredging for scallops following violence skirmishes in the channel between french and british fishing boats and or i spoke yesterday evening to george eustace who is my british counterpart and we both condemn these violent acts with these very arresting images which you've seen yourself and said we want to return to a spirit of responsibility because most of the people here on tuesday french

vessels round british trawlers off the coast of normandy during projectiles and insults and it dispute which erupted after a previous agreement broke down. scallops known as cookies on jock in france are one of just a few species governed by french national regulations rather than european union ones. france bans own scallop dredging between may fifteenth and october first but britain allows its vessels to operate year round a point of contention with french fisherman who doesn't have the cookie they fish the small shells they have no quotas no meshing what rules do they have we have rules and that's why we're angry if they come on october first we'll dredge with them we'll all be in that rich fishing ground at the same time we know there's lots there we don't want to stop them from going there we want to start at the same time but if they're too thick to understand and continue dredging then we'll show up and

it ends in war. friends galloper say they're hoping in agreement with their british counterparts will happen soon but if it doesn't they see they're ready to head back out to stop british vessels from dredging. all right when to time some time terry what's it going to be for there's never enough time monica that's the first thing and you know whether you win an hour here and there i mean what matters really just keep the clocks going the same direction that's what some people think indeed the days of changing the clocks backwards and forwards here in europe could be numbered the european commission is today proposing an end to the switch between summer and winter time across the european union decision comes after an online poll found that a majority of those responding want to get rid of the one hour change to winter time. the online survey was the largest in the euro e.u. use history a four point six million europeans took part in the survey but by far the largest

share of those were german in total eighty percent of respondents said they were in favor of getting rid of what's known as daylight savings time. so let's all listen to what people are saying about the scrap switch from summer time to winter time most of those surveyed may have voted to abolish daylight savings time but as we report opinion is still to find it. i think it's great switching to daylight savings time it works in them i think it's a good idea good idea i would keep the time the same all year round we need as much even tempered this in this world as we can possibly get as if in the cities well i think it's not so bad one out doesn't make such a big difference if it really does save energy. and i think it should be the same time all year round that would be best for everyone on this because if you stand then you won't have to bother adjusting clocks i also think that change doesn't make much sense anymore it's hard which i would you prefer summertime or winter time. i would prefer summertime in the evenings there's so much to do and when it's

still light then it's much better the sleep isn't it to deny would take the winter time but if not maybe winter time in summer it's not easy to go to bed when it's still light outside humans i have the flu i voted to get rid of the time change but in favor of summer time of the month is that it has been i wouldn't notice any difference so you can do what you want i don't really care. so the european union is valid to scraps this time change back and forth joining us to talk about that is dr in a comma he's a crossbow biologist at the university hospital here in berlin thanks for being with you dot com a first for your research involves the study of the inner body clock by a rhythm is the announcement to get rid of the time changes here in europe good news for all europeans it's good news for all europeans because messing around with

your internal timing system is your internal cicadas and clock is not good for health and it has been shown in many studies that. hundreds on the days when this winter occurs there's more accidents there is more people with sleep problems and so on. well just one hour time change can it really have such a huge impact on the human body i mean you have to know that this is. during spring for example we kind of gradually adapt to the sun rising early and early in this seasonal adaptation is completely disrupted if you switch on an hour at that moment and i mean it's it is also a little bit more difficulty depends on what kind of krona type of you are a whether you have problems with it or less problems many of us are so-called owls so they're late chrono types and they have especially problems in getting up in the

morning in spring because that's an even an hour earlier and studies have been shown that those early late kroner types the owls cannot even adapt all summer to the new time zone now switching our back and forth twice a year is introduced in europe to make use more efficient use of daylight but there's always been a debate about the health effects briefly we can why are we so sensitive to light and dark well because we have an internal timing system that is genetically determined our so called cicadas and clock and that regulates and many of our bodily functions are starting from hormones gene activity and digestive system and it has been shown that. a mess around with your cicada in clock there are can be severe health dr comedies i'm sorry we're out of time we have to leave it there dr calmer from shani today here in berlin thank you so much for talking with us. if

you're right about. the age of man. it's all about the future program. and the domination of an h.m.o. . with a think thomas aquinas a. little more time and some pianists making off the time on a little and they still in control of it all rather destroying the planet once and for in forty five minutes to delete. posts a lot. of people make fun about their own social economic and political problems. in mozambique we say that you have to watch so you don't write it's how people call me they'd probably. as

a journalist i often talk about this caucus and that by listening to less a local issue than i actually stopped my day by checking all to all those jokes finding out what people have talking about what is moving that. my father taught me how to ask and confront the book questions about my country and about to book that is what i keep doing to this day my name is now diesel and i work at. his creations. his brand mistake of the color log off an icon of the. look what do we really know about the man behind the dark. what motivates him how does he think and feel. good moments in the life of a great fashion designer. something smart and tough it starts september ninth

w. welcome back to news i'm terry martin story detroit is bidding its final farewell to the queen of soul aretha franklin big names in the music world and the civil rights movement are among those paying their respects at the funeral former u.s. president bill clinton will also address the crowd the ceremony is scheduled to last a number of hours. and filmmaker has been sentenced to six years in prison after being convicted of espionage in cambodia prosecutors allege that he had close links to cambodia as opposition but the case is being slammed as a ludicrous charade by human rights watch dogs james ricketts and. they are extremely concerned about his welfare noting the sixty nine year old is not in great health. who am i spying for

on the day of his sentencing james ricketts and repeat that the question he raised over and over again during his trial i still don't know which the trial spottable i mean it obviously tough right for fourteen months now i know we have a channel presented to the court. but. i still haven't been told we're trying to film five. days the last day of the trial and i'm hoping that i'll find out which country i've been spying for the filmmakers to doesn't have an ounce of. arrested him after he flew a drone to photograph an opposition party rally last year prosecutors say he had links to that party and an unnamed foreign power. ricketson sunset the family is devastated by the jail sentence you know this result will say and shock waves through a whole of. family and. supporters and it's been a really long road to this point and now to get this resolved it's just

heartbreaking ricketson has been just in cambodia for more than twenty he is documenting the country and its people. he says his work has no political agenda but prosecutors allege he has close links to can both opposition and was critical of prime minister who and said. government to help. him expect to do all the consular and i will support from is trying to speak to the circumstances and i think as usual in these talks of events it's based i think to deal with these things calmly and directly and you know why the. base to see such a serious. break it since family is truly thought the filmmaker now at sixty nine we have a hard time surviving six years of jail they're counting on this trail. to find a way out. next month india is planning to introduce what aims to be

the largest health insurance plan implemented anywhere in the world it's been dubbed modi care after the indian prime minister and it should eventually provide coverage to five hundred million people across the country that's about forty percent of the population currently barely four percent of indians have health insurance it's an ambitious project and many questions remain about how it will be implemented rahul juggler car reports from mumbai train for better have been out of the car he suffers from pancreatic cancer and has recently had an operation she's traveled from calcutta in eastern india to mumbai for. treatment has so far cost to the equivalent of three thousand euros. on a family shared a room at a local charity but the emotional trauma she's facing is home to her financial

volleys. i mean. we've already borrowed hundreds of thousands of rupees on treatment and other expenses now i'm starting three rounds of chemotherapy i think we'll have to borrow even more from friends and family in the coming weeks and months. millions of indians shack up and us feeds because they don't have access to quality health care that could not change with a national insurance scheme dubbed. off to the indian prime minister more indians could receive up to six thousand euros worth of coverage annually but would that mean that they can walk into private facilities that gendry india's rich. there's one problem says the managing director of walk hard and upmarket south mumbai hospital. the procedures have to be provided at ex-wife that costs and daughter prices which are really kind of. putting everything in

a very kind of constrained manner because our current cost structure was greater than the prices that we're going to get reimbursed for the procedure for private hospitals the problem will be rican siling how much they usually charge for the government's mandated rates which have come out in the first instance from the government. allow them to make a profit been used to making us together so that is their apprehension but you see on the other hand it is also in the hands of public sector hospitals which are going to be allowed as part of that scheme it's also to do with this small nursing homes. trying this in the range of modi unveiled his plan recently to coincide with india's independence day he holds that after some testing it will be open for business on the twenty fifth the september. hopes to bring medical insurance for more than five hundred million people across india this critics it's

a scheme that's too big to succeed mainly because of its scale supporters it's a step in the right direction mr modi would hope that many more indians think the latter is up for reelection in just a few months from now with mounting medical bills that create cannot end soon enough for culpa now i don't know if we spend much more on the treatment than i thought when we get some assistance from the government but that would really help us. as the other carries weight for more news big hope that. would provide a window of opportunity to them. now from mumbai we are joined now by rahul jug a car who filed that report ruffle your report says the scheme is designed to cover five hundred million people is that a realistic figure that is right down to thirty so we are talking about regions

mostly from mumbai india is a country one point three billion people and this is a vicious. provide medical insurance to five hundred million people. just just think about this for a minutes of which is equal as the population of germany speed in the u.k. and in fact all of the best and europe so that is pretty this scheme of this project. the critics of this view that actually this is like poisoning an ocean the scheme is just too massive there will be lots of logistical problems but the supporters of the scheme say that actually the push for digitizing should india lots of indians almost all of the team as well most indians have something like this that's an autoharp god which is a unique number for every citizen and also in providing cities like insurance money is much easier because of the digitized issue so there are two views on this so

well in insurance is one thing but an insurance scheme only makes sense if there is a medical infrastructure to support it would india's hospitals be able to cope. that is true i mean this is this is an interesting debate because without getting too technical let's just look at the numbers for a minute for every fifteen hundred people in india fifteen hundred people there is one doctor for a thousand people according to an instrument there's one hospital these aren't great numbers according to the same estimate over the next twenty as india would need something like three and a ha million more doctors and the same and same number of hostages to keep up with the demonic so these are all massive numbers so on the one hand the argument is that actually because what you think. people gotten out which is a medical care richwoods slaughter of demonic anderson

a sort of supply for good going to help get on the other hand be to see the band with the questions inquire six thousand euros where are people going to go simply aren't enough hospitals offices it's easy for people ok well give us a sense of how things are right now with india's health care system including insurance how does it work for most people in india today. yeah i mean when meetings revolt i did speak to many people in just stepped up and you saw in that report and often i spoke to people who are actually free at their jobs end of india's health care system people who are for often have only two options the one occasion is to go to a government facility which often is cheaper but the quality in a majority of the facilities isn't all that great on the other hand you've got to go to a private hospital this is our dream but often the prices are very expensive i've spoke to people who asked me i don't want pictures i don't have salute jewelry

and medical bills often push a majority of people in india especially to fall into a life of poverty so there is no offense scheme for a lot of people who don't do and up until this point there hasn't been anything city. which looks out for us fall or whole thank you so much for that rubble joke luck there a journalist joining us from mumbai now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today german chancellor going back to has wrapped up a three day africa visit in nigeria she was received by president muhammadu buhari and a blue just or a trip which also took and got to and senegal focused on strengthening economic development and containing migration from the region. ugandan pop star turned opposition politician bobby wine has reportedly been stopped from leaving the country after being rearrested at entebbe international airport is lawyer says wine

a future generation of african designers in the hope they come up with practical and creative solutions. millions of africans live in informal settlements like the one here in gali africa sixty six polluting on the continent a struggling to cope an architect from rwanda has big dreams christian many mana once africa's booming cities to flourish. when the settlements are under way it's difficult to reverse those trends even though the government of rwanda is doing a lot of efforts to help provide basic services for the residents of such neighborhoods to make sure people are living in safe clean neighborhoods but more citizen africa fists with the same challenges as well from lagos to can shots to nairobi governments are unable to manage urbanization and those move into the city often can't afford to build properly expensive rents and slums grow we wonder he's well aware of the critical situation. we are trying to establish different programs and

then you go from this social program but also morgan quite well to trying to prepare the ground for them cut into the big government and very much committed to promoting access to housing recent housing projects in kigali where more suited to be upper middle class affordable solutions for the masses are still missing christan many mama streaming if you judge generation of african designers to find innovative sustainable and affordable solutions to the enormous need for infrastructure not only houses but also hospitals and schools here in the north east of rwanda the new primary school is being built using as much local material as possible to have a good quality makes and the building there never even nicely there's also this idea that the basic materials and tools for destruction in africa cannot be built in the never got to it and the what. the fed the seven year old convinced the

government that building with bricks volcanic rock and locally made roof tiles is cheap and important expensive materials and that it's worthwhile investing in local craftsmen. earlier more doors with people bring in constitutionalized contractors to build things and leave haven't been successful so by investing in these people there's a chance that this could be replicated also used again here and if these people were to migrate to other districts in the country it's much more efficient than getting chinese contractors a turkish contract as. christian been studied in china where he saw megacities grow as well as the challenges that come with this today he's a director of the african design center which opened in gallery two years ago eleven design graduates from eight african countries land how to take on the challenge of africa's enormous growth we're trying to understand the real problems that we're facing and not just browsing over statistical that say we need x.

party has long kept close ties to looters workers' party is seeking international support to get looked released in time for presidential elections in brazil next month. so it's why are you thinking. i think there was a man who as president of the country fought for brazil. sticking to the values of the multilateral cooperation in the world. who is. evaluating in a right way the last judgment of the human rights committee of the united nations. in a situation that. the acting justice in the country prevents him to practice and to apply to his individual rights as a citizen of the country and in the context of the upcoming election where he is running as the representative of the labor party this is a complex situation

a delicate one and raising a lot of questions and i wanted to discuss these questions with the labor party on one hand and i asked to meet a friend or a colic with whom i used to work during the years and years together in different difficult responsibilities and to whom i have trust do you think that they did you sell system here in brazil is being used for political goals it's difficult for me to to. come to a conclusion but some of the behaviors are not the observation of some acting parts on one hand of the attorneys or the other end of the judge. who leads from me to the conclusion. they're in this specific case. to accuse a former president of a country to be corrupt. one of the precondition for a fair trial is the complete neutrality of the justice and my feeling is that this

is not always one hundred percent assured but this is only a feeling i have no evidence of but another feeling is that i can trust to a man whom i know since long time to say this i'm innocent my last question this is a crucial moment for brazil you said to yourself do you think you're perhaps meddling into a political campaign here in brazil no i think of the rule of cases of worldwide discussed items and. i'm here not only to meet them. i meet the labor party i met the leadership of the labor party i met the a running mate of lula mr dot so i am sincere as always in the frame of my international activities or the relationship of the socialist parties also with the labor party here in brazil so it's not modeling you know election campaign it is so normal corporation an exchange of views between people who are sticking to the same values and fighting for the same goal to strengthen democracy worldwide.

if you are into tech gadgets it's a great time to be berlin and berlin monica is here to tell us about what's happening at the consumer electronics for a for terry exactly which of course as we know is one of the biggest trade shows for consumer electronics i'm told the appliances and it's opened here in berlin today there seems to be something for every technology fund the annual event and if the anticipation is keeping you awake at night well there's something for you to. sleep problems this is effect might have the answer push on some headphones and a sleek mask and you can be literally told to sleep if nothing else it offers a brief interlude from the busy trade fair pretty good but just relax not at the gym so this is and this entrepreneur has created a sleep robot for five hundred euros sleeping alone can be

a thing of the past once in the bathroom you will screw with a robot like this and if you do so you will feel a breeze so there's the physical sensation of the following embroidering of the breath so you can synchronize your own briefings to that of the robot go in and goes down. goes up. next stool doesn't an electronic not pay which sends and then numb to it can give us phone when it detects moisture. adults can also find and trying to clothing accessories here these highly flexible thin screens can be stuck on the t. shirts or even hats that way companies can use them as modern advertising ban is perhaps they'll be the next big thing over the coming is. such a huge products are certainly interesting but from a great profit the sector needs a mass market for hi fi equipment cameras and televisions but t.v.

sales have dropped by almost five percent of the for us this year although it seems many people are just not interested in swapping their h.d. t.v.'s for a newer model. even the eight k. television except to have a tough time it screen might show images four times clearer than today's four k. models but most t.v. channels don't even offer such shop teaches in the first place. a popular theme is the linking up of machines and people like adopt this device for example meshes your body's vital functions it then shows the data on an eight. a screen and saves it in a cloud privacy groups alarms chubbier national infinites whiskas it i won't have one link device that an entire smart home that means being monitored from a variety of different areas of. the data is saved and can be put together if i then connect these to my facebook or google profile i become a completely transparent user and these organizations have information about me

that i probably don't even know about myself. as if to his business ties. into connected devices are the biggest trend here and experts say it will soon be impossible to buy gadgets that aren't collecting our data. from worse press over to our if our reporter can lead to we just heard high take is now all about devices that collect our data so a visitor's reacting to that. well monica you have to remember this is the germany germans traditionally very particular about giving away their data about sharing their data and that's also the sentiment often met with here many times even a group of teenagers told me they wouldn't really buy into that whole smart home idea because they think their data is too important but then again quite a few people also said they were kind of warming to the idea of voice assistance

some even admitted they already have one of the home so it seems just to be a bit slower here in germany but in the end the comfort seems to win over the concern about data privacy all right talking of comfort we've seen quite a lot of quirky gadgets and we'll get to that in just a moment but what about those traditional technology items like t.v. screen smart they used to be all the rave for all the rage and i think exciting there this year. well we've seen it in the piece as well the the eight k. televisions seem to be the big thing at this trade show. big manufacturers like samsung and l.g. have have announced they're now releasing televisions even though there's not much content that people can actually watch on them which might seem a bit counter-intuitive but we have twenty twenty winter summer olympics in tokyo coming up where a lot of the events will actually be broadcast in

a quality so i guess manufacturers are hoping that their innovation will create a demand that can be met then in twenty twenty when when these games will happen all right and i hope that my eyesight is still good enough need to actually enjoy eight k. you spend quite some time now at the fair what would you say is worth looking at. well i had a great time actually trying out a product by segway segway we know this as the kind of weird mode of transportation where you step onto a platform you have this and job on front of you and you lean forward to move the thing well they have now released a pair of inline skates the principle is the same the technology in fact is the same you step on to them you lean forward and you whiz off it was a lot of fun i had a lot of fun certainly trying trying out this product but at the end of the day the main thing i'm happy about is that i'm still in one piece and i can still talk to one that's that's definitely good news. there reporting for us from the consumer
