sixty eight. this is news coming to you live from. migrant beilenson here in germany and what to do about it does on the lead arkell have the answer the german chancellor prepares to address parliament for the first time since the far right staged demonstrations in the eastern german city of kenyans.

well i'm terry martin thanks for joining us german chancellor angela merkel is due to address parliament for the first time since lawmakers return from their summer break and the recent unrest in the eastern city of candidates is expected to figure prominently in her speech yesterday's session was overshadowed by the senate phobic bottoms triggered by a fatal stabbing in the city of candidates allegedly by asylum seekers germany's far right populist d. says i'm going to merkel's migration policies are to blame for the tensions now as the strongest opposition party in the german parliament the a.f.p. will be addressing the chamber before the chancellor we're looking at live pictures from the. leader of the far right about to address the parliament and we'll be listening into that followed by chancellor merkel speech. the minister of the interior called migration the mother of all problems for months now it has

been part of the mantra of the german government this mother of all problems are africa and asia namely that we should become battling the causes that drive people to leave their homes there which is why it's so surprising that union politicians are saying that the german and german armed forces is considering an attack on syria that would mean two things we would be creating new causes that would make people flee their homes and germany could end up in an armed conflict that russia is involved in seriously i hope the chancellor merkel you're not seriously considering risking this. right however what strategy is the german government truly pursuing in afghanistan where the german armed forces are supposedly defending the security of germany the taliban has once again taken over large swathes of the country for seventeen years now german troops have been based

there and the longer the operation continues the more afghans come and apply first silence in germany are we truly combating the causes that drive people to leave their homes i don't think so. ladies and gentleman and i quote we are going to set a clear limit to people immigrating to us from third countries because that would be too much for our country and. increased in. immigration would cause unrest. and quote. this is said down in the cd use electoral program from two thousand and two. but you were clapping i didn't see you clapping. and you were right when you forecast this but the question is why didn't you take your. self seriously. the inner peace in our

country is indeed at risk there is a divide going through society i don't think any of us would disagree on that but i do think we're disagree on where the threat lies let's look at it more closely sunday and couldn't two afghans beat the germans the man dies saturday in thought man two men who are presumed to be northern american stabbed a german saturday in mind to arabs attack a somalian with a knife and robbed him saturday in the east a number of men described as dark skinned harassed young women saturday in full of apparently a cell there looking person after a disco attack someone beats them up it thursday in feedback a sixteen year old syrian. stabs an eighteen year old syrian at

a station ladies and gentlemen i will stop reading from this list. but don't you think colleagues of the left party that the time has come for a concert against right wing extremism. if. you prefer. how involved in political tactics can you be if you profit from the death of one of your countrymen and try to. get some mileage out of it for your own political views to lose in danger the flitter called feast in this country in the leftwing extremist website there is a title that says get. shot from my gas pistol to not see in the head is instantly deadly and whether

it's legal or not you can always get this kind of pistol end of quote. so who is in danger in the public. the fact that you are objecting and heckling. suggests that you're always talking about the danger from the right wing let's look at cemex though there was a festival there and so called refugees at attacked someone who died right then and the other two who were attacked had to go to hospital and the party had to be stopped in kirton one of the people attacked had no residence permit one couple who did the attacking rather. people in both decided to demonstrate. demonstrating against the immigration policy of the chancellor. that's. and i have to say that this was. you talked about.

incitement to hatred you know in east germany for example i remember that. you were not allowed to demonstrate. and you suggesting that these demonstrations were somehow dodgy. really reminds me of the east german regime and i think this should be a wake up call. the former green m.p. and she. described the situation as follows and i quote after the fall of the berlin wall they preached manchester capitalism work and save money then the financial crisis came about and suddenly there was all kinds of money for the german for the greek bailout and now it's the refugees they get money without having to work for it lots of people think this is unfair and they're right and of

course that's miss hammond now your former. page. and if many of these refugees commit criminal offenses then people run out of patience and then spontaneous demonstrations. of the kind that we saw before the fall of the wall where we were these respond to news demonstrations as well ok there were a couple of. airheads who did hitler salutes nobody is saying that that didn't happen it's not very appetising and it's illegal but they are a minority they're not representative for the whole demonstration nor for the issue that the majority of people who were demonstrating were demonstrating about. hitler salutes foreigners go home. our great hope for you ladies and gentlemen

those of you who are from the mainstream establishment because as long if we didn't have idiots like this if we only had ordinary citizens demonstrating that would have been a disaster for you. because idiots like these give you the kinds of pictures that you want where you are to turning the cause and effect on its head many ordinary people do not feel at home and i mean as reprehensible as hitler salutes are let me tell you that the true crime was the blood crime committed by two asylum seekers. in kenya. listening to the citizens of germany is something that the german government must do both the chancellor and its spokespeople said. that their rather disseminated the fake news that in chemistry was an assignment to violence

and hatreds and the media followed it n.t.v. for example said near nancy's looking for civil war left behind a field of fear and uncertainty and they found. immigrants like animals colic aland thank you you have run out of time now i'm just concluded. let me repeat my question look you are going to have plenty of opportunity to speak with the point is somebody there was no. accounting of asylum seekers and can let the public prosecutor confronted the police confirmed dead and the editor in chief of the cabinets you stated it as well mr zeigler also said this and someone took back the position. well in fact the police situation in chemist's was much the same as it is when there is

a premier league match. have cocktails and cobblestones being thrown at police on these were much harder. police officer had to go into prison and nobody even mentions this in the papers. and said demonstrating citizens are criminalized without distinction the north rhine-westphalia state premier. wants to stop with the saying that these are all concerned citizens. in a sense he has. fired the mainstream citizens approach to these things. many are claiming that there weren't enough information about incitement to violence and hatred and kennett's but all we can say is that it is the job of the intelligence services to

combat right wing extremists i bet you'd love it to be that way wouldn't you. before but from this perspective it is good and right that our political competitors want to make the. teligent services put the a.f.p. under surveillance but you know what we have no problem with that we have nothing to hide the more the officer the protection of the constitution intelligence services put us under surveillance the more they will see that we are no danger to the constitution as the f.t. . colleagues you are trying to criminalize the opposition. by creating a kind of people's front against the a.f.d. . machine. let me remind you. that never in the history of germany has this kind of policy been successful. you acting as if there was only the choice between multi ethnicity and fascism

right the fact that we could live as they do in switzerland or in denmark sweden this doesn't seem an option to. mathematica when you had to take back the accusation that people were hounded and you have to say that there were you said there was hatred but hatred isn't a crime why. in your language was there hatred. because the chemist's people bad people. because they felt they were the victims of misguided policy hate because they're evil for no reason. some kind of self-criticism. is something we'd like to hear from you but it's not people who are too small the office is too big. this time said madam chancellor. you have nothing more to offer this

country and its citizens except straws they can clutch to just continue to be barricaded in the chancellery from the reality of people on the ground let me ask you again. endangering the peace in this country not. i thank you. if if so that was. the co-leader of the largest opposition party in the german parliament the far right alternative for germany or a deep party speaking there in the context of a general debate the bonus talks air berlin is now convening for its first session since their summer recess and just to quickly summarize what we saw there we we had . alexander beginning with some foreign policy issues but quickly turning to the

issue concerning the far right violence that occurred in the eastern city of kenya two weeks ago he described the demonstrations the demonstrations there as being including mainly members of concerned citizens and saying that there were nazi salutes but that the real the real crime was the crime that was committed against one of the against the a man who was killed there that again provoked the violence what's your impression of what xander galban was saying there and in the parliament was he trying to defend what what's been happening he's trying to don play the aspect that. supporters of the a of d. pot of these demonstrations walking in demonstrations together with neo nazis with people showing fascist salutes and shouting five new nazi slogans and it was a broadside obviously against the government especially personally against i'm

going to mount go abroad. on the single issue of migration he in fact did not talk about anything else except trying to attack on america on the migration policy this is what the f.d.a. has been doing for weeks even for months and he's been using this opportunity to do those two to continue that attack he was describing the f.d.a. as being basically a victim in this situation it was very interesting to hear him say that also he used the slogan towards the end hatred is not a crime which i found particularly interesting he also referred to efforts to criminalize the dea so what exactly is he referring to that well he's saying that people are so upset old in the repeat will not right wingers not to extremist ordinary people are set by i'm going to mock you and have policy that they are starting to hate i'm going to moscow that's really what he's saying that they're starting to to. emotions also against migrants against people. people who have a kind of southern look at all of them and he's trying to say that the f.t.'s being

victimized by the governments that he's trying to construct the f.t. as a victim of this policy now we are we're going to be hearing from chancellor angela merkel in a moment she's going to be able to of course respond perhaps to what alexander garland has been saying but it's do you think she will take the bait yes i think she will respond on those issues but i suspect that. to refer to those things that her government has been doing that are positive for people that are concerned about their situation so i think she's going to try and emphasize as well she will not spend too much time responding to the dia i think she will just simply defend a position how much pressure is chancellor merkel under right now and particularly given what has transpired in germany over the past couple of weeks well what's happened obviously is that the f.d.a. has in fact profited from the situation the a of d. in the most recent polls is making gains is getting close to twenty percent of support amongst voters while i'm going back as conservatives are losing civil it's

at the same time you have to say eighty percent of people in germany still support policies that are opposed and vehemently opposed most of them to the a of. a but also within i'm going to knock government continue to be in serious tensions between her and her interior minister who is much less clear on policy against migrants and seems to be slightly more close to the f.t. so she has a lot on her plate is a very difficult situation for her and fact just the simple. business of government is becoming very difficult for him now alexander galland there he was all talking primarily chancellor merkel as you pointed out but he was also directing his fire at the at the left in germany in general so he was it was giving as you say quite a broad side not just to the government but also to the left what was his argument against the the left. party and left wing movement so he's trying to say it's not only a right wing. story to mark old german chancellor about what. president

reagan and colleagues he meant the mere mention of the majority of people in germany. live and work towards a good tolerant way of living together that is my firm conviction. and i see it as my job and the job of all of those who bear political responsibility to support all of those people who are trying to bring our country forward through their work through their lives and the figures confirm this as well germany is among the safest countries in the world and germany is among the most prosperous countries in the world ladies and gentleman. and of the same. many in our country are concerned about cohesion and germany and i believe that the citizens of germany are looking very closely at the

way in which we are holding political dialogues ourselves both in the parliament and outside of it as well and so we bear a great responsibility in recent weeks serious offenses have worried many of us in which the alleged perpetrators were asylum seekers who came to germany. criminal offenses of this kind touch me they worry me they worry everyone. grieving with those who have lost members of their family we are outraged we have to find the perpetrators of these crimes and ensure that they are punished with the full weight of the law. the law. and that's what it means if you live in a country. by the rule of law and many citizens who have shown through demonstrations just how upset they are by these things have used the

rights that the constitution gives them to demonstrate and we asked politicians have a duty to take their concerns seriously and to. ensure that four states of affairs are sorted out i can understand that if somebody dies and it turns out that the criminals. are repeat offenders or people who should have been deported from the country that means we have to do our homework we have to work hard both in the german government with the minister of the interior the federal state as well and the minister of the interior has come up with some new approaches this well so we are all very aware of our responsibility in this matter. as much as i understand the outrage and the lack of understanding. i cannot let it stand that this is an excuse

for demonstrations that show contempt to other people no. there is no excuse and no justification for incitement to hatred and in some cases violence nazi slogans attacking people who look differently who own a jewish restaurant attacking police officers and using terms and debating whether or not this consists this comprises hounding or incitement to hatred and violence this is just splitting hairs and doesn't help the matter. the one thing must be clear we are decisively against all of this. as in article one of our constitution human dignity is inviolable we must protect

it we must respect it. and there is no ifs ands or buts about this. plan article one of our constitution is true for everyone and if you infringe it you are. destroying the very roots of what makes germany what it is you are questioning our values of unity and law and. liberty which are the basis of our happiness and there is no discount for anyone in all of this and so relativization is the wrong way to go that's misleading and so the rule of law with its law enforcement systems with its independent courts is part and parcel of a lively democracy with a strong civic society and i thank everyone who works in this area all of our

security officers the police officers the public prosecutors the judges the lawyers all those who work in the courts and those who work in our penal system which is not an easy place to work. thank you good morning to you and i want to thank those who are volunteers and work full time in our democratic institutions and our association thankfully there you are many. in our country and this is why. just making judgments about entire areas like saxony or the eastern federal states are inappropriate and wrong and we can't just judge them our right. to know and assume is true for the many refugees who live here peacefully together with us and i particularly want to thank all of those who work as volunteers and full time to help us integrate refugees into our

society because that's a very hard job as well. before we need to love we will not allow. calander sign exclusion of entire groups in our society jews and muslims belong just as christians and atheists to our society they belong in our schools they belong in our political parties they belong in our society i'm grateful for everyone who works towards improving our democracy. and the question of whether or not we have a consensus here. is the one that decides on our social cohesion. and if we have a shared foundation here we can talk about all the other important questions that

concerns for the people in this country. there are. clear rules of play here and they cannot be replaced with emotion that's the whole point of a country governed by the rule of law. and because we are aware that this country governed by a rule of all law is facing challenges in our coalition agreements we entered into a pact for. a country governed by the rule of law and our federal budget reflects initial measures here three thousand new security positions fifty million more for equipping of federal police eighty five million for digitizing police work investment in cyber security these are important signals that we are standing out here and we will be talking about better equipping the courts and other organs of the g destry judiciary because our citizens have the right to

a country governed by the rule of wall of law that actually works. but today we are debating the budget for twenty nineteen. and. what we are doing goes far beyond next year some of the deliberations are the medium term financial planning to we are quite used to this but i'll say it again it's the fifth budget in a row that doesn't have more sovereign debt and this is the very good news for the younger generation. we have an increasing to g.d.p. and i've had it for over thirteen quarters. bankruptcies in the corporate world are the lowest that they've been since we began recording them and an option for this year woodley have over fifty five million people in work and we can be proud

of these numbers. the. basic objectives remain since we've just been listening to german chancellor merkel who's been addressing the parliament the bundestag here in berlin the bonus toggles convening for its first session this week following the summer break the debate that's taking place is a stand simply about the budget but of course it's not just chancellor merkel addressing the concerns about the right wing demonstrations and the violence that has occurred in germany over the past couple weeks following the death of a man in kemet so allegedly at the hands of two migrants chancellor merkel addressing the concerns that have been raised pointing out that germany is one of the safest and most prosperous countries in the world but acknowledging that many are concerned about cohesion in this country and political discourse she expressed outrage at the crimes that have been perpetrated the said the breaches of law must

be punished but she reminded everyone of article one of the german constitution that is that the human dignity is in by a label and she says that applies to everyone in this country that jews muslims and others belong to this country as much as christians anyone who upholds the rule of law and contributes to democracy chancellor merkel there speaking just a short while ago in the bonus talk with me in the studio who's been following the chancellor's speech is our political correspondent hans pont will. also be going live to the to the bonus dog in hearing from our chief political editor mccabe a couple of first to you hans what did you make of the chancellor's speech follow it was initially the east in these first ten minutes of the speech rebuttal of what the f.t. the right wing populist accused her off and say it's just before she spoke

and it was a very clear commitment to an inclusive society to a society where a as you just mentioned muslims and jews and people of color people with a migration background as one says in germany are welcome as long as they stick to the rule of law is that as long as they contribute to the society but it was also noticeable that she did make quite an effort to try and express her understanding for those people in germany that all feeling uncomfortable in the situation that in fact in some sense of feeling threatened by the situation are concerned and are using their democratic rights to demonstrates to go into the streets and to say that they are dissatisfied so she's trying to speak directly to those people who at the moment seem to be people that are mostly supporting the f.t. and are in opposition to the government that is why she's emphasizing such things as the rule of law also concerning migrants also concerning. crimes committed by migrants but in the end i think what was very clear was her statement that germany

is striving to be an inclusive society and that there are many many people in this country in fact a majority who support that the church also talks about how german the german government is responding to what is going on i thought it was very interesting what she was saying about people's concerns which she also talked about the country governed the country governed by the rule of law is being challenged right now she acknowledged that and she talked about how the country is responding to that can you tell us more about yes there's been a lot of discussion about. this of course that there is a lack of police men on the streets or policemen and women on the beat as it were and the government has been saying for months that the number of people that the police is recruiting will be increased significantly and that is in fact part of this budget debate it's a matter of money being made available in this coming budget and these police

surveillance and police. will be increased so she's trying to say that these concerns are being taken seriously and then everything will be done in fact to solve these crimes and to punish those responsible obviously this does not only cause my crimes committed by migrants as crimes committed by all sorts of other people but this is the concern that is in the front of the discussion at the moment so that's really at which what she's focusing on the moment and talking about what's being discussed right now in germany at the moment there's been a great deal of discussion the past few days here in the media in particular about whether there will whether the those scenes that we saw of demonstrations in cabinets whether we actually saw scenes of of foreigners being hunted by right wing snow has been a lot of discussion about that there's the term headstock that's being used and in germany some are claiming that is was not the case there was no hounding of these

migrants she also commented on that would chance well she was saying that all sorts of. coals for hatred calls for violence attacks on people of color on my grounds attacks on jewish establishments i was a jewish restaurant that was attacked and can that's that all of this was was to be condemned and that the government would not tolerate that either in other words that that was also contravening of the old german goes and german law is very very strict on anything referring back to nazi times in germany nazi symbols nazi. cold's sympathy for nazi. salutes are contravene german law and she's saying about two is going to be prosecuted i thought was very interesting her saying that it's splitting hairs whether we actually saw any hounding going on or not and she quickly glossed over that she also had something to say about making judgments not only about about foreigners in this country or migrants but also about eastern

germany and the state of saxony workers of course home to two candidates itself this is indeed we have to see here also that she comes from east germany herself that she is a product of east germany and there is a feeling i guess in the west that people in east germany assume still in some sense backwards and she's trying to say that one should not. generalize in this case that you should not say that everyone in east germany or everyone in saxony or everyone in came that is a right wing or is opposed to this government and in fact you know if you look at the figures that is not the case as she's trying to say we need to look at these situations with a lot more detail with a lot more sympathy with a lot more open mindedness. look at the specifics of it look at the specific people specific groups that are involved which you know if they are promoting nazi.

attitude is not to say ideologies will certainly be prosecuted but other people moment people who may be concerned about things changing in their lives one should have some understanding for them as we speak a chance remark of course is still giving her address to parliament again they're talking about the budget so there's a lot to to discuss do you think that this is now returning to business as usual for the german government and for the parliament or are we a point where the political discourse in the country is going to be dominated by this topic of migration still for the months to come well this is what america and her government. and there's the social democrats involved in this grand coalition as well they've been trying to do this to get back to business to say that we actually actually governing this country that they are doing things to improve matters in this country they've been trying very hard to get back to business and this obviously is business but one has to say even within government there is a lot of tension on this migration issue with especially with the interior minister

from the bavarian sister apology a bit of area and conservatives he's been very equivocal about the whole migration issue he seems to have been in some sense closer to the deal then to the government position to malcolm's position and that overshadows who work within the government within cabinet as well it's very difficult to get down to business if you keep on having these kind of tensions these kind of attacks and some sense from you an interior minister it's a very difficult position they're in and obviously they're saying we're the government we're trying to prove that we're doing good things for the country they're having difficulty doing that and i'm afraid what you're saying is migration the migration issue of the shadow everything for some time to come hans thank you so much for that summary our political correspondent hans blunt there commenting on the debate is taking place in the bundestag today and course we'll be coming back to that story throughout the day you are watching d.w. news we're going to now catch up on some of the other stories that are making

headlines today authorities in the southeastern united states are warning people to brace for devastation as hurricane florence heads towards the area the governor of north carolina says it will be like nothing the state has ever seen before and he urged people to follow orders to evacuate residents of coastal areas in south carolina and virginia neighboring states north conner are also being told to leave immediately the storm is expected to cause severe flooding when it makes landfall on thursday. a scramble to prepare before the storm hits. off the carolina coast the skies are already beginning to darken. hurricane florence is expected to make landfall on thursday with torrential rains and winds of more than two hundred kilometers per hour we are planning for devastation this is a storm this is not a glancing blow this is

hungary and prime minister took the initiative he travelled to strasbourg to in his own words defend hungary but you show you some you don't a person mapped i have come here today because you are not going to condemn just the government but a nation as well. you are going to denounce hungary that has been a member of the family of christian european nations for a thousand years get a feeling you know it all for you me. it is the entire nation being condemned the majority of politicians don't believe so including the hungary and really explained to nobody attacking hungary but he's head in the european parliament this is the critique of the politics of the car and go home and she unlike poland already facing a new sanctions hungary has so far been spared european green m.e.p. you to continue believe this is political the dish at the door organs political

party it's member of the european peoples party and they have friends in commission council and in parliament. german conservative m.e.p. . isn't it difficult position he leads the european peoples party and takes a much softer stance on migration than the hardline or. if you say it generally that you have to be afraid about muslims and generally take a religion then you do that chop off a cio it's we have invented human rights and the christian rights. with even his own political allies wavering hungary's premier viktor orbán is facing a tense wait for the vote in the european parliament. to brazil now where the workers' party has named a replacement candidate for october's presidential election taking over from the jailed ignacio lula da silva it falls to force some pollo mayor fernando to try to dislodge brazil's current right wing government

a relatively unknown how dad was due to run his unit as deputy but now he takes the reins from the ex-president who reportedly made the decision from his jail cell. hopes a groundswell of support following his incarceration will carry to success well it was brazil's first working class president and he remains very popular. every morning at nine o'clock it's the same routine loyal followers say good morning to luis and asio landa silva. they've been turning up here for the past five months convinced the former president has been wrongly imprisoned they say it's all part of a political plan. to do the judiciary and the parliament have carried out a coup against brazil they removed president dilma rousseff from office who had been legitimately elected with fifty four million votes. their goal wasn't only to

remove her but also to keep president lula away from these elections troy's do last bites the other twenty campers share this conviction they take turns at the vigil here at camp outside the prison where the former president is being held ironically it's a prison lula himself inaugurated eleven years ago he probably never thought that one day he would end up here in a fifteen square meter cell on the fourth floor. lula has many supporters in brazil but he also has many critics like in the city of cody tiba just a few minutes away from the prison. many here see him as a danger to the country that. is popular because he and his party act like populists. it's all based on promises that he never fulfilled when he was a politician but what do you. brazil is deeply divided

politically and socially. it started when the middle class that traditionally supported lula's workers' party became increasingly disillusioned with his leadership. this research get that balance. who work like i do don't support little. he subsidizes families cooking gas and whatever else he's simply buying the poor. foreign law from running as presidential candidate brazil's top electoral court has forced his party onto the back foot still followers remain optimistic that the workers' party can still win. this list. this surveys show that president lula is capable of transferring votes to someone else. you know. we're voting for lula even if the picture on the ballot

shows fernando how. with elections just weeks away it looks like brazil's political crisis isn't going to end anytime soon. oh from brazil across the atlantic to nigeria now where navigating the waters of the nation's ports can be a perilous undertaking for fishermen because of ship wrecks lying just below the surface you know it is funny went to lagos to meet some of the people affected by the maritime garbage and to find out why nigeria has become a dumping ground for disused ships. one of the largest and busiest ports in africa where boats and ships for space but over the years it has become dangerous waterway look at this rusty ship right there or rather what's left of it is one of hundreds of other ships that were left behind. nigeria has become

a graveyard for ships from all parts of the world the legal way to get rid of them is to dismantle and recycle them but that costs money no one knows the exact number of ships taking below what a water facts are felt more especially by fisherman. when we're working our necks get tangled in the metal below it damages are nuts and we can't fish until we replace the net. result almost and tina it's coastal communities thank you way to have already been hit hard by unemployment chief raymond gold is a community manager and the situation is untenable. when laws are enforced there shouldn't be any kind of shipwreck on our waterways they should be removed immediately. laws are not strictly enforced people feel very free to do what is wrong so why all those laws enforced i asked david who for years has been trying to

raise awareness of the problem but he's had little success. because yiu we have huge amounts of money going into the budgets of the regulators and nobody seems to be doing anything about it he demands to have ships removed after a twenty day notice period to help save the environment. helps. to be broken it destroys our costs make them more usable and pollution from oil spills chemicals and toxic substances that come with it but into the government. the owners vassals nigeria's armada abandoned chips will just continue to grow. to roam where those who work in restoration are in high demand just as they have been for centuries all across italy there are thousands of cultural side stating from antiquity to the baroque but even as many of them slowly crumble the

government is cutting restoration to. the sound just like nonnie josephs of the carpenters at the heart of the foreman room i use of god's. wedding ceremonies were held here on a regular basis until just recently luckily when the rift caved in the church was empty rescuers didn't find anyone beneath this rubble nice city authorities are looking into concerns about the maintenance and upkeep of the building indeed room is a sightseeing paradise for culture enthusiastic but it is becoming more of a sight for sore eyes with cracks appearing in many of its structures but just how dangerous is it to visit a church here this is the santa. journalist and cultural expert for tokyo emily any point cite the cracks in the fresco on the ceiling this damage was discovered

early on and it's not in danger of collapsing it's unclear though exactly when renovations will begin it reflects the deteriorating state of many of italy's cultural sites. it's clear that more investment is needed wall specially in the technology that allows weak points to be discovered early. because really serious damage. minor damage like here on this facade is everywhere italy's interior ministry has reduced the amount it's spending on the preservation of cultural sites even though the people who visit them bringing a lot of money to the city to risk magnets such as the coliseum are less affected by this they benefit from their own millions donated mainly by private investors in contrast to many of the more unfortunate monuments are being able to date that want in danger any tourists but it could mean that room's cultural significance slowly crumbles. well much of the world's trade is done in dollars but

so here in europe would like to propose an alternative they would like to see the euro become more important terry certainly european commission president john clode young wants a bigger role for the euro he's expected to call for the e.u. to do more to promote the euro as a global currency in a speech today and that way the blocks currency can challenge the u.s. dollar is concerned mainly about the pricing off of you energy imports in dollars he believes that pricing in euros could be possible only norway's energy exports so far to the block are priced euros russia and the gulf states price there in dollars so european bias has to take into account the exchange rates between the euro and the greenback. big anniversary this week care because it mocks ten years since the collapse of lehman brothers and event of course the trigger to the global financial crisis and the impact of that crisis could also be felt in asia
