league lead to a drop in pressure. for the days of changing clocks backwards and forwards in the spring and winter and spring and autumn here in europe could be numbered the european commission is today proposing an end to the switch between summer and winter time across the union the decision comes after an online poll found that a majority of respondents didn't want to turn the clocks back an hour in the dark months furring instead to stick with summer time all year round. flipping commission president john claude younger says if that's what the people want then they will get it. does or pitch a problem now it's not to the number of states and the european parliament to take action the european parliament has been heading in this direction for years anyway it will happen there's no sense in asking people and once they respond disregarding their response behaving as if it weren't put on records of people one it will do it the muslims. hey phony everything in life is that simple well dr data could have

heads they department for sleep medicine this and had a hospital here in the well they w. that well you only saw givens change the clocks backwards and forwards and twice a year or leave them as they are clearly change the clocks twice a year because the cars that humans like all animals live in on this planet do have an internal clock they have been synchronized daily by light and darkness and and if you not live in at the crater like we in europe do. we get a change in the rhythm of our internal clocks and so we function completely different during the summer time in june winter time so what we actually would need would be a change of about an hour and a minute and a half every day and i don't think that that is going to work so we need

a change of a broader change like like an hour it's physiologic what's damage does it would it do that if the clocks didn't change well we're live in some kind of internal d. synchronize ation any cell of your body has its own twenty four rhythm all of them being synchronized to each other and they get in puzzled every day a little bit more or less and if you're if these are possible then you live in a state of constant jetlag you're living in a state of constant shift work and that is not good for your health if the only sells a puzzle by a minute and a half every day i'm going to be more puzzled by an hour. twice a year well that's that's one thing but we completely. are working different and summer time that is people and burn limb sleep. an hour longer during

winter time then during summertime so that's up to the club he actually says that we address it right at an hour longer than into the adaptation to season where all face in each and any one of us so this this change of clock is just the adaptation to this. cheese seasonal change and that takes place in all of us any any year anyway he found that fascinating because you would have thought as a lay person that it's to do with lights and in most industrialized countries where we can switch the lights out owings we can switch it off when not sort of bound by whether the moon is out or the other side is out well that's that's a new field and signs that is light and health and that's only starting to twenty years ago where working on that and finding out that we indoors live in actually in some kind of biological darkness here in the studio we do have bright lights but

most of us at home or even at the workplace at the eye level we have something like fifty locks maybe one hundred blocks but people living outside they have one hundred thousand lux so these hundred locks are not really bride like and you're right light is the site gaber for humans but we're not good enough for so leave everything as it is that dr data could thank you so much fuss lasix. it's. one of the main separatist leaders in eastern ukraine has been killed in a bomb explosion alexander. alleged russian backed separatists in ukraine's that dinette screeching to his brother in a cafe in the city of donetsk russia has accused the ukraine of assassinating to provoke a new war in the region kiev denies the claim blaming is a coast death on a conflict between rebels and russia. scott more on this from d.w. correspondent nick connelly who's in ukraine's capital kiev welcome and tell us

more first of all about alexander. good evening phil well he was someone of the first hour of this conflict he was one of the last of the generation of fighters turned politicians who really swept opponents by the conflict when it started back in twenty fourteen so touching it was a political nobody before this conflict he had a small business he traded in poultry and suddenly he was the de facto leader of a self-proclaimed republic of several million people he was someone who was very impulsive he was known to talk openly about russia's support for those eastern ukrainian breakaway republics something the kremlin doesn't like they have time time again denied any direct involvement in this conflict he also had a lot of enemies within and yet skin recent months there's been some conflicts bring their. financial issues over differences of opinion and he really was a kind of maverick in

a field where increasingly more professional more cautious types of politicians are coming to the fore as this conflict develops into a stalemate and the war you know it goes further and further into the past the insurgency in eastern ukraine started in april twenty fourth scene after russia annexed crimea what is the situation like in that the moment. what situation the ground is people are still dying there is fighting or there is shooting along the so-called line of control between ukrainian government troops on the separatists but those tend to be mostly soldiers and some civilians living right up against that division there but there hasn't been any significant move in terms of territory the last time that really significant areas territories changed hands was in early twenty fifteen so over three years ago and the question now is what does this. mean for the peace process that's been the means peace process that's been blocked with either side kiev and separatists basically playing chicken

and saying the other side has to make the first move so there had been voices saying that this could actually help things because a touch and go was a very odd. popular figure in ukraine given how spoken he was given his poor treatment of ukrainian prisoners of war so actually taking him out of the equation might make coming to some court of kind of a compromise easier we've seen a very aggressive reaction from then you're going to hear from moscow saying that the his killers will be brought to justice and that there will be some kind of settling of scores for this killing today so it might actually look that actually his death today might set off a new spiral of conflict between donetsk and. here and ukraine as a whole they come away in care fact here. germany's minister for family says visit the scene of a deadly staring in candidates of the crime committed last week and largely by two migrants laid bare deep divisions over chancellor merkel's decision to allow nearly
